Chapter 682: Unexpected Results
The first court meeting in the fourth year of Zhengde was dissipated in this chaotic atmosphere.
A court meeting that originally planned to besiege Qin Kan, and after the last Qin Kan went to the imperial study safe and sound to discuss Japanese tribute matters with Zhu Houzhao and the cabinet scholars, but the political enemies who besieged him were taken down by the palace one by one, a list of rebels against the Li Tong domain, coupled with the confessions of maritime merchants and assassins, at least dozens of civil officials were to be dismissed and questioned, Qin Kan's counterattack this time was no less than a small court purge.
The ministers who walked out of the Fengtian Temple were discouraged, like mourning and examining, everyone knew very well that the siege against Qin Kan had completely failed, and the consequence of the failure was not only that dozens of civil officials were imprisoned, but more seriously, from now on, he could not help him, the matter of shipbuilding and going to sea was a foregone conclusion, he Qin Kan had enveloped dozens of nobles in Beijing with one hand, and with one hand he had mastered the current emperor's money bag, from now on, who can still control him? In the future, if anyone targets him, he doesn't need to do it himself, and the strength of the emperor and the nobles together is enough for the civil officials to drink a pot.
The tiger is returning to the mountain.
The civil servants suddenly had this word in their minds, and when they looked back at the majestic and solemn palaces, they felt extremely depressed.
The discussion of the imperial study is actually just a formality, Japan's three major forces sent envoys to pay tribute, which is by no means a bad thing for the Ming Dynasty, and the cause of this is not in the Ming Dynasty,—— at least from Yang Dequan's military newspaper and Japan's official national letter, the fault is not in the Ming Dynasty, it is clearly written, Yang Dequan "repeatedly forbears and asks for perfection".
That's right, the responsibility for starting the war is not on Yang Dequan. Returning fire is unbearable, after all, the Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and the kingdom of the Celestial Empire is to save face, Yang Dequan's approach is all in line with the temperament of the people below, first of all, do not take the initiative to cause trouble, secondly, someone takes the initiative to provoke you, beat it back, and return with a big victory, a typical slap in the face and trampling on people...... Of course. And that's just on the surface. In fact, this is simply a national-level hooligan.
Zhu Houzhao was so happy, after retiring from the dynasty, he danced alone in the Jinshen Palace, and he was so excited that he couldn't help himself, in addition to looking at the yellow book color map in this life. He hadn't been so excited.
Everyone in the world knows that today is still martial. Zhu Houzhao has been determined to be a martial emperor since the day he ascended the throne. It's a pity that this Emperor Wu has no chance to make a contribution, and the only thing he can show is to quell the rebellion of King Ning, and Emperor Wu's ambition is the greatest. What he hopes to see most is to open up the territory and expand the territory, and his dedication and love for the land are not much better than those of later real estate bosses.
The little-known admiral Yang Dequan fought a naval battle with the Japanese fleet in a daze, and the Japanese port of Nagasaki was frightened to surrender, which was a merit for Zhu Houzhao to open up the territory, so Long Yan was happy, and he made several wills on the spot to reward Yang Dequan, of course, the most precious and glorious Ming Dynasty, but in the eyes of this young man, the cheapest and most beneficial title is indispensable. Who knew that before the will left the temple gate, he was stopped by two scholars in the cabinet.
Seeing the two scholars doing a warm-up action of crashing into death in front of him, Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to give up the reward, so Yang Dequan experienced the ups and downs of life without knowing it, not only the title was gone, but even the official could not be promoted, and the gold and silver silk given was also withdrawn, and a paper reward was replaced with a paper application, and he thought about it behind closed doors......
The idea of Liang Chu and Yang Tinghe represents the idea of most civil officials in the DPRK, although this matter is a mistake, but it must not be advocated, after all, as early as the Hongwu year, Japan is one of the fifteen non-conscripted countries of the Ming Dynasty, although Japan took the initiative to provoke the previous time, but the Ming Dynasty fired back after all violated the ancestral system, and Yang Dequan's guilt was not investigated as an extrajudicial grace, if the reward was given again, it would be impossible to say, otherwise other naval commanders would see that it was profitable, today the Quanzhou Naval Division went to Japan to fire two cannons, and tomorrow the Ningbo Naval Division went to Japan to bomb two cannons, How can the Japanese emperor who teaches people not recruit anyone and does not provoke anyone?
Japan's tributary is a major event, and the tributary that has been cut off for a hundred years has now been restored, and its political impact is undoubtedly very huge.
As one of the sources of this matter, Qin Kan had nothing to say, and watched silently as the two scholars talked about various etiquettes like a few treasures, Zhu Houzhao and Qin Kan listened drowsily, yawned imperceptibly, and didn't come up with a specific charter after discussing for a long time, so they dispersed in vain.

Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi back hall.
Qin Kan sat in the hall and sipped fragrant tea, and Ding Shun stood in front of him respectfully and reported the real situation of the shelling of Japan.
After listening to it for a long time, Qin Kan's face became more and more strange, and he hesitated: "Do you mean to say that Yang Dequan really lost his course, ran to Nagasaki, Japan by mistake, and then destroyed the Japanese fleet with his hands, so frightened that Nagasaki surrendered immediately?" ”
Ding Shun's expression was also a little strange, and he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Grandpa, this is indeed the case to the outside world, but ...... In fact, after Yang Dequan approached the port of Nagasaki, he originally planned to take the initiative to bombard the port, because this guy was a rough man, and he couldn't tell the difference between the Japanese people and the Japanese people......
Qin Kan was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "The order I gave him was to go to the island of Naguo to suppress the Japanese invaders, and Yang Dequan's killing was completely off topic......
Ding Shun smiled and sighed: "Who said no, according to the subordinates, the Japanese were indeed frightened, grandpa, think about it, there are hundreds of Japanese warships in Nagasaki Port, although most of them are fishing boats, but hundreds of them together are enough to be mighty, who knows that our Ming Dynasty will wipe them out with only eight giant ships, can the daimyo of Nagasaki Port not be scared?" They still think that they have offended our Ming Dynasty, and they want to give them a country to exterminate the species, in that case, if they don't surrender, when Yang Dequan is red-eyed, who knows if they will send troops to land and kill his whole family......"
Qin Kan smiled bitterly: "This is really bright, now it's good, not only Nagasaki was frightened to surrender, but even the Japanese emperor and the two biggest daimyo were frightened, scrambling to pay tribute to our Ming Dynasty, I was going to send someone to Japan to negotiate trade with these three, but now it seems that there is no need for this." ”
Ding Shun hesitated: "My subordinates are feeling strange, although the battle of Nagasaki is a complete victory for my Ming Dynasty, it will not scare the emperor and the two most powerful daimyo into paying tribute, will there be fraud in this?" ”
Qin Kan said with a smile: "There will be no fraud, you don't understand Japan's national conditions, the Japanese nation can be said to be the most despicable and undisciplined, typical bullying is weak and afraid of hard, if you nod to them, they not only look down on you, but also think of bullying you, if you beat them firmly, they will obey you, and in the future, when dealing with the Japanese, just use your fists to speak, they will obey this, if you are too polite to them, not only sorry for yourself, but also sorry for their pious kneeling and licking heart of our heavenly kingdom, which hurts the friendship between the two countries...
