There are no gentlemen in the Ming Dynasty.

Although it is the era of Confucianism as the national study, perhaps the poor scholars honestly follow the Confucian way of leniency and benevolence, but the scholars who become officials cannot be regarded as pure scholars, they are just drillers, for the name of the fly camp dogs, their appearance will always be sanctimonious, because the ugly can not be an official, but once someone violates their interests, for the sake of the name and the right, it will inevitably become the target of their eradication, never soft, and although far away will be punished.

can survive in such a harsh environment so far, and live in a high and powerful position, so that the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty can't get used to him and can't kill him, Qin Kan can't help but admire his ability.

"You smoked them away, they turned around and ran here to complain, the matter is very tricky, one by one lying in the temple crying and mourning, fortunately you didn't go to court today, otherwise I suspect that they will beat you to death in front of me like Tsushima Shun during the reign of Daizong, what can't this group of old bastards do in the name of righteousness? I had no choice but to make a convulsion on the Golden Palace...... "Zhu Houzhao sighed helplessly, in order to show his righteousness in front of Qin Kan, he twisted his hands into a strange angle by the way after sighing, and then his eyes were crooked and his mouth trembled, restoring how sacrificial he was at that time.

Qin Kan praised: "Your Majesty's twitching is very expressive, look at that pair of cross-eyed eyes...... Can the average person fight to this level? Where is this cross-eyed, it's just a dragon's eye that focuses on one point......"

Zhu Houzhao immediately returned to normal, glared at Qin Kan fiercely and said, "Can you be serious?" I really have a headache in the Golden Palace, and I'm really going to twitch. ”

Sigh heavily. Zhu Hou looked at Qin Kan, and said with a hesitant expression: "Qin Kan, I know that you have Lingyun ambitions in your mind, and I know that everything you do is for my good, for the good of the Ming Dynasty, so any of your suggestions are unreservedly supported. Down to the common people. I ......understand all these truths that can go to sea calmly, communicate with all the vassal states, and only when the people are rich can they be called prosperous and strong."

There was a pause. Zhu Houzhao's expression was full of frustration: "...... But. Now you can see the reaction of the courtiers. I didn't expect that just building a few ships for us to earn some money for ourselves would be so incompatible. There is a lot of fighting to the death, Qin Kan, there are thousands of ways to strengthen the country, why did you choose a road with no future? …… In my opinion, let's retreat and stop quietly, even I have noticed that this road is full of dangers, and those who know the times are Junjie, so it is actually a matter of stopping at this time,...... Actually, there is no shame. ”

Qin Kan's face was slightly gloomy, and his heart was filled with infinite bitterness.

Even the emperor who supported him the most persuaded him to stop, is it really impossible to open the sea and ban the road? Chongming Island set a grand wish, this life vows to change the way of the world, now after three or four years of accumulation, finally saw a ray of light, now unconsciously but into a desperate situation, if you really give up this road, in the future with other ministers lost their ideals and aspirations, a lifetime only for fame and fortune, even if the future of the extremely human minister? If you change your official fortunes, but you can't change the fortunes of the country, is it meaningful to live like this for a lifetime?

In the hall of the leopard house, the monarch fell into a long and rare silence.

This is a real internal and external dilemma, a difficult and hard moment, both of them seem to have lost their opinions, Zhu Houzhao has been staring at Qin Kan after speaking, his eyes are complicated and difficult to understand.

After a long time, Qin Kan suddenly stood up and looked at Zhu Houzhao with burning eyes.

"When His Majesty Ying Zhichen was only a small brocade guard in the east city of Nanjing, he led more than 100 captains out of Nanjing and climbed Chongming Island to fight against the Japanese ......"

Zhu Houzhao nodded: "I remember this matter very clearly. ”

Qin Kan's voice was a little dry, and he sighed: "That battle was fought fiercely, the twelve Japanese robbers actually chased thousands of Ming officers and soldiers all over the ground, and the minister's Jinyi guard supervised the battle team in front of the formation and killed more than a dozen people, but also couldn't suppress the rout of the officers and soldiers, after the officers and soldiers fled, only the ministers and dozens of Jinyi guards were left on the battlefield, and then the minister first picked up a spear and held it in his hand, when the minister had the will to die, he stabbed out the first shot without hesitation, that battle, we won!" ”

Looking at Zhu Houzhao deeply, Qin Kan said: "Your Majesty, what is the difference between today's situation and the Chongming anti-Japanese war back then?" The same ferocious enemy, the same cowardly robe, and the same desperate situation from which there is no retreat! Your Majesty, the choice of the minister is still the same as back then, the minister, do not retreat! ”

The word "no retreat", like a spring thunder, exploded in Zhu Houzhao's ears, Zhu Houzhao stood up suddenly, his nose quickly opened and closed, and a flush of excitement appeared on his immature young face.

"Your Majesty, with the will to die and move forward, anyone who stands in the way is nothing more than you live or die! The minister is not knowledgeable enough, and he can't follow the saint's heart, but he can learn to kill people, and the Ming Dynasty's sea ban is opened! ”

"Good! Qin Kan, since you have the ambition of Lingyun, how can I be inferior to you, you and I will join hands to do this important thing well, do it for them to see, and see how the history of Qing will judge thousands of years later. ”

*******************************************************************

Walking out of the leopard room, Qin Kan's expression was a little tired.

As he said just now, he has completely no way to retreat, and retreating is death.

Ding Shun was ordered by Qin Kan to personally go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to investigate the collusion between local maritime merchants and court officials.

Qin Kan stood still in front of Li Er, his expression thoughtful, and he looked at the reins of the horse handed over by Li Er in a daze, but he didn't reach out to take it for a long time.

After a while, Qin Kan got on his horse, and Li Er waved to the dozens of guards around him, and everyone surrounded Qin Kan to return to his house.

The sound of horses' hooves kicked on the bluestone-paved road, and everyone seemed to feel Qin Kan's gloomy mood, and quietly followed closely.

After riding on the horse for a while, Qin Kan suddenly said lightly: "Li Er......"

"The subordinates are here."

"Send someone to tell Yan Song, the prefect of Tianjin, to speed up the installation of eight warships, each equipped with thirty Franco cannons, and launch them for trial operation in three days, and sail to the island where the Japanese are frequently active, whether they are real or fake, and bomb their island for me!"

"Yes!"

A guard hurried out of the procession, saluted, and ran to the Chaoyang Gate outside the city.

Qin Kan's mood was only slightly soothed, this record was a knock on the mountain and a tiger, and it was not only the Japanese who shook it, but also the civil officials in Beijing.

The group walked slowly to Xicheng, and when Chaoyang Gate was already in sight, the killing machine appeared without warning.

On the upper floor of a wine shop on the left side of the street, a thin crack suddenly opened in the wooden window, and a sharp arrow glowing with a blue and cold light stretched out from the gap, and the tip of the arrow pointed directly at Qin Kan's neck...... (To be continued......)
