Even a person with a rough nerve like Zhu Houzhao feels that it is a big trouble, which means that the trouble is really big.

After three years as emperor, Zhu Houzhao gradually gained a deeper understanding of the court, and he knew that today's storm without warning would not stop because he pretended to be sick, and today was just the beginning, and the ministers would not give up on participating in the impeachment of Qin Kan.

The court meeting dispersed, and the ministers left the palace in twos and threes, while the nobles took two steps slower, intentionally or unintentionally, looking at Qin Kan with a calm face, everyone's expressions were quite complicated.

In fact, for more than a hundred years, every nobleman has been doing the matter of shipbuilding and going to sea and trading with the vassal states, and they either build ships directly or partner with coastal merchants, but the scale is not large, a fleet is at best only two thousand cargo ships with a few small warships, but just such a fleet from Japan or the Ryukyus, the amount of silver earned is also a huge amount.

A thing that is expressly forbidden, in fact, the civil officials behind the scenes, the nobles also do it, and everyone is doing it, it is not only a sweet and delicious cake, but also a minefield that is like a chilling cicada. The thickness of a piece of paper, if you don't puncture it, everyone will be fine, and once it is punctured, it can only be your life-or-death end.

As the royal bureaucracy took the lead in piercing this piece of paper very unelegantly, Qin Kan undoubtedly became the center of the storm again, and the eyes of the nobles looking at Qin Kan gradually changed.

The same belongs to the Ming Dynasty to enjoy the group, everyone's interests are closely linked, but the interests are connected does not mean that this group must be a monolith, are all old fritters who have been in the court for many years.

After all, it is the pattern of the emperor and the scholars ruling the world together. Although the nobles have a noble status, when it comes to real power, after all, they are much weaker than the civil officials, and the strength gathered by the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty is simply invincible, and the nobles have to retreat.

Facing the complicated eyes of the nobles, Qin Kan smiled helplessly, and then straightened his clothes and walked towards the Qianqing Palace, his steps were not hurried, calm and powerful. There is still a momentum of stepping on everything.

…………

…………

In the smile of the little eunuch who was courteous and flattering. Qin Kan walked into the Qianqing Palace.

The Qianqing Palace was originally the sleeping palace of the emperors of the past dynasties, and it was the largest palace in the Jingshi Imperial Palace except for the Fengtian Palace. It has been more than half a year since Zhu Hou moved out of the Qianqing Palace, and now the Qianqing Palace has been abandoned for a long time, and there is a little more gloomy and sympathetic cold in the palace.

Qin Kan felt a chill as he stepped into the hall door with both feet. Look up at this huge palace. The palace is still as majestic as ever. But there is a lack of popularity, and even the eunuchs and palace maids in the hall are not like living people, like lifeless statues. Standing in their place.

The emperor's bedroom is still like this, I really don't know what kind of bleak scene the Kunning Palace where Empress Xia lives will be.

Zhu Houzhao sat cross-legged on the carpet with the imperial robe without any image, dipped in water with hemp paper, wrapped the raw eggs tightly and threw them into the charcoal basin, and after a while, he heard a soft sound of "popping" in the charcoal basin, Zhu Houzhao happily took out the eggs with tongs, while blowing the cold air, peeling off the egg shell with his teeth, eating the roasted eggs one by one, and then burped, showing a satisfied expression.

Seeing Qin Kan enter the house, Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows: "One?" ”

"It's not good for this ......"

"You don't know how to enjoy such delicious things."

Qin Kan sighed, raw baked eggs that are not salty, sweet, and tasteless are also delicious? This is the emperor of today, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a dumpling who has never seen the world, if he eats the tea eggs that only the local tyrants of later generations can afford, wouldn't he shed tears of happiness?

"Tea eggs? What is it? Zhu Houzhao heard the last sentence of Qin Kan's muttering clearly, and suddenly became interested.

Cinnamon, fennel, salt, tea leaves, a little cumin and a teaspoon of sugar, and the tea eggs are ready.

Zhu Houzhao smelled the strong fragrance, his eyes gradually brightened, and he peeled an egg with great interest without waiting for it to cool, and ate it in one bite, his eyes were really full of tears, and he didn't know if he was burned or really happy to tears.

"How did you bring out such a delicious thing? Not righteous! Zhu Houzhao ate the eggs one after another, and still didn't forget to glare at Qin Kan fiercely, which made Qin Kan instantly feel a sense of loss after the meat bun beat the dog.

After eating several eggs in succession, Zhu Houzhao stopped his mouth and suddenly showed a sad expression.

"Is it really that delicious? Delicious to the point of sadness? Qin Kan was a little incredulous.

Zhu Houzhao sighed: "Qin Kan, today the king's palace impeached you, I'm afraid this matter is not simple, bigger trouble is waiting in the back, all the eyebrows are burning, I am still eating eggs, and I am so happy, do you say I am too heartless?" ”

Qin Kan smiled, he was very pleased with Zhu Houzhao's shameful and almost brave cognition.

"Your Majesty, the civil officials are indeed ready to go, and I am afraid that the court will not be able to calm down from today on." Qin Kan said quietly.

Zhu Houzhao showed a look of annoyance: "We didn't say that the sea was forbidden, but whether there was shipbuilding and trade with the feudal kingdom, why were these people so excited, it was like digging their ancestral graves......"

After a pause, Zhu Houzhao suddenly remembered Qin Kan's character, and couldn't help but look at him suspiciously: "...... You're not going to dig up someone's ancestral grave, are you? ”

Qin Kan said with a straight face: "How can Your Majesty be so suspicious of loyal ministers? The minister is a gentleman. ”

Zhu Hou glanced at him and said: "A gentleman like you is fortunate that there is only one in the entire Ming Dynasty, Qin Kan, or let's forget it, although the inner treasury can't make ends meet, but the civil officials are too difficult to mess with, let's change the way to make money......"

"The arrow is already on the string, it has to be sent, Your Majesty, this is not just a matter of making money, opening the sea ban is the way to strengthen the country, how can you give up because of mere resistance? As long as we pass this hurdle, there will be a smooth road ahead. ”

Zhu Houzhao said worriedly: "In the future, the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty will attack it, how will I deal with you?" ”

"Head-on."

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

When Qin Kan walked out of the palace, it was already dark, outside the Jinshui Bridge. Ding Shun and the rest of the guards stood like pines, still waiting for him.

Seeing Qin Kan come out, Ding Shun hurriedly greeted him.

"Grandpa, my subordinates heard that something is not quite right this morning, the king's dog thing is making a situation by participating in the impeachment, but the spearhead is pointed at you, the dog thing is tired of life, and the subordinates are willing to share the worries of the grandfather." A touch of anger flashed in Ding Shun's eyes.

Qin Kan shook his head: "What else would you do besides killing people?" Is it the royal who joins me today? Obviously a civil official of the Manchu Dynasty, you can kill the royal bureaucracy alone, do you dare to kill all the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty? ”

"Grandpa is kind and kind. But if you want to hold on to authority. It is still necessary to kill a few people, and cut down the few people who took the lead, and even if the rest of the people are dissatisfied, they don't dare to point fingers at the grandfather anymore. This is called killing a hundred people. That's what Liu Jin did in the first place. Although Liu Jin is not a good person. But his method for civil officials is undoubtedly very useful, why not learn from it? ”

Qin Kan seemed to be smiling: "Ding Shun, I can't see that you have become deeper and deeper recently." You said that Liu Jin's method of controlling ministers can be used for reference, should I learn from his death method by the way? ”

Ding Shun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said with a smile: "That's not necessary, let's take its essence and remove its dross......"

Qin Kan said coldly: "How many years has Liu Jin been in the limelight from gaining power to falling? When he was in power, the ministers were silent about him, and they dared not speak out, but the more this happened, the more hostile everyone was to him, so Liu Jin died faster and more miserably, can we use his method of dealing with ministers? The way to self-destruction! ”

Ding Shun was trained to be red-faced: "Yes, yes, my grandfather has taught me a lesson, and my subordinates think badly...... But grandpa, the wind in the court is not in the right direction today, even a vulgar man like his subordinates feels that he is in big trouble, and there will be a storm after today, how can we deal with it? ”

Qin Kan sighed: "I have to admit that this matter is my thoughtlessness, I didn't expect these people's possessiveness of interests to be so crazy, not only using the excuse of the ancestral system to firmly block my Daming Sea Frontier, but even a powerful person like me wants to get a piece of the sea pie is as difficult as heaven......"

The corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and Qin Kan actually smiled: "It can be seen from this that the interests of shipping are huge, so huge that these people do not hesitate to fight with me to the death......"

Ding Shun smiled: "That is to say, as long as we pass this level, we will send it in the future." ”

Qin Kan shook his head and smiled: "You have to think more long-term, the interests of shipping are so huge, if in the future I Ming opened the sea ban, from now on with the vassal country, trade products, when my Ming sea is no longer a forbidden land, everyone can go to the sea at will, at that time it is not just a few of us magnates and businessmen, but the whole people are rich, driven by sea to the Ming inland mulberry hemp, weaving, kiln porcelain, tea plantations, etc., from now on, farming is no longer the only choice for the people, they can also work, run boats, plant tea, open kilns, With these more ways for the people to live, even if there is a natural disaster, presumably not too many people will starve to death......"

"When one day, our ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty can take out a few taels or even dozens of taels of silver at will without hurting their own vitality, our Ming Dynasty will really start to become rich and strong, and then we will develop armaments, introduce grain varieties from the feudal state, repair embankments, control rivers, and organize the government and military system...... If I could see that day, my dream in this life would have come true. ”

The more Qin Kan spoke, the more excited he became, his face gradually turned red, until a gust of cold wind blew in his face, Qin Kan woke up like a dream, and suddenly found that everything he just said was just a dream, and now he was about to face a big trouble, thinking of this, Qin Kan's expression suddenly gloomed.

Ding Shun fixed his gaze at him, and suddenly knelt down on one knee towards Qin Kan, hugged his fists heavily and said: "Grandpa, my subordinate is just a vulgar man who doesn't know how to write and ink, but my old Ding is not blind with a pair of tricks, it can distinguish right from wrong, you can see black and white, everyone in the world scolds Grandpa is a traitor, Lao Ding has lived for so many years, I have never heard of a traitor who takes his family and country to heart, the world is blind, Lao Ding is not blind!" In the future, the grandfather has orders, and his subordinates will never give up! ”
