Based on his understanding of Ah Ci, Ah Ci must have found out that this incident was done by Duanmu Yuan, so he made a mysterious arrangement of today's situation, but it was just to let Duanmu Yuan confess in front of everyone, and there was no way to refute it!

This is the style of Ah Ci.

His Ah Ci has been smart and open-minded since he was a child, and he doesn't like to deal with others, but once someone touches her scales, she will never show mercy.

Even now that Chu Qingci has become Duanmufei, her soul is always the same person.

The most important person in his heart.

Feng Yan supported the side of his face with his right hand, and the corners of his mouth were raised high, outlining a pleasant arc.

Chu Qingci, Duanmu Fei...... Vera!

He's so good!

He looked straight at Duanmufei, and there was no other ...... in his eyes It wasn't until a slap suddenly sounded in the east room that he suddenly came back to his senses and swept his gaze casually around the room.

At some point, Ren rushed to Duanmu Yuan like a lioness defending her cubs, and slapped Duanmu Yuan the face, leaving a red palm print on her fair skin, which was shocking.

The room was quiet again, and Mama You and Xia Fu, who were serving in the room, were all dumbfounded.

"Enough!" He's forehead was blue and white, and he slapped his palm heavily on the case, as if there was a thunderstorm on the ground, "Fourth daughter-in-law, do you still have my mother-in-law in your eyes?!" ”

After the words fell, the room was quieter.

The dispute in the house turned into a confrontation between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in an instant, Duanmuyuan was crying aggrievedly, and the other people in the room whispered to each other, and the surroundings were chaotic.

The He family wanted to help Duanmu Yuan get by, while the Ren family was bent on seeking justice for his daughter, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law argued...... Gradually, Ren's arrogance was suppressed by He's majesty with his mother-in-law......

In the midst of the noisy noise, Duanmufei seemed to be out of the way, sitting aside and drinking tea.

Take a sip, sip the tea, and smile with crooked eyebrows.

Her cheerful appearance seemed to be out of step with the hustle and bustle around her.

Even if it was far away from a window, Feng Yan could feel her comfort, like a lazy lion cat, looking snow-white and cute, docile and well-behaved, but hiding her claws.

Sure enough—

In the next moment, he saw Duanmu Fei put down the teacup, and a sly light flashed in his eyes.

He pricked up his ears in high spirits, waiting for her to appear.

"Grandmother, Fourth Aunt," Duanmu Fei proposed solemnly, "this matter is very important, do you want to invite Grandfather to come over and be the master?" ”

In a word, the wind in the house changed.

Feng Yan outside the window couldn't help laughing again, almost laughed out loud by her fox-fake tiger appearance, her mood was excited, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth couldn't be suppressed.

He stared at her stunned for a long time before reluctantly leaving Shangshu Mansion, as quietly as he came.

Feng Yan was in a very good mood, he hadn't been happy in the past few years, and he rode his horse and galloped directly towards the princess's mansion.

The golden sun is brilliant, and the horse's hooves are flying.

Wisps of sunlight sprinkled softly on him, and the bright apricot yellow brocade robe made his handsome face more and more clear and clear, rich and handsome, attracting many scrutinizing and admiring eyes on the roadside.

After a stick of incense, one person and one horse came to Zhongchen Street, where the princess's mansion is located.

The Princess's Mansion was still surrounded by the heavily armored forbidden army, and there was no one on the street, and most of the ordinary people chose to take a detour for fear of getting into trouble.

However, Feng Yan did not shy away from it, galloped through an alley on the side of the house, and came to the side gate on the west side, and a young general guarding the door smiled and hugged his fist at Feng Yan on the horse.

The people inside the door seemed to hear the movement outside the door, and almost the next moment, the side door opened from the inside with a "creak".

Feng Yan turned over and dismounted, threw the horse to the little guy who came out to greet him, strode into the mansion, and went all the way to the main courtyard.

Anyone could tell that he was in a good mood, with brisk steps and dancing eyebrows.

Anping naturally saw it, she knew that her son had run out of the house early in the morning, and now he came back so happily, something good must have happened.

An Ping put down the teacup in his hand and said deliberately: "Ah Yan, why did you come back so early?" ”

"When the business is done, I will naturally come back." After Feng Yan gave An a salute, he sat down on a rosewood circle chair on the side, picked up the teacup on the side and took a few sips, with a comfortable smile on the corner of his mouth, as if his whole body was glowing.

Anping hadn't seen his son so happy for a long time, just like ...... It's like when he used to talk about Chu Qingci.

Could it be that my son went out early this morning to see Duanmufei?!

An Ping's heart moved, and he couldn't help but feel refreshed.

Feng Yan took another sip of hot tea and unceremoniously begged for tea from Anping: "Mother, your Junshan silver needle is really good, so let's give my son two cans." "Zhen Zhen loves tea, she will definitely love it.

"Ziyue, go get two pots of tea."

An Ping responded happily and looked down at the teacup in his hand.

The tea soup in the tea cup is orange and yellow, the bottom of the leaves is tender and yellow, and the pure tea fragrance rises with the heat.

This is indeed good tea, but it has been more than a month since my son returned to Beijing, and I don't know how many times I have drunk this Junshan silver needle, and I haven't seen him praise before, why has his tongue changed today? !

An Ping became more and more curious in his heart, and quietly probed again: "Ah Yan, I still have some good Tieguanyin here, do you want it?" ”

Tieguanyin...... Feng Yan was stunned, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, when I run out of tea to drink in the future, I will ask my mother for it." What I thought in my heart was: The Li family has just arrived in the capital, and presumably in a short period of time, Zhen Zhen will not worry about Tieguanyin drinking.

Thinking of the Li family, Feng Yan's eyes flashed slightly, and he raised his hand and waved away the people in the house.

When only their mother and son were left in the house, he said bluntly: "Mother, I got the news a few days ago that someone from the Li family in Minzhou is here. ”

An Ping's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "I heard about this, it was Li Chuanting, the second eldest of the Li family, who came." ”

"It's not just Li Chuanting," Feng Yan said in a deep voice, "The boss of the Li family is also here." ”

"Li Chuanying is also here......" An Ping was a little surprised, and put down the teacup he picked up again, "The military general left the station without permission, and his courage is really not small." ”

As you can imagine, there must be a reason!

An Ping raised his eyebrows, looked at the ups and downs of the tea leaves in the tea cup again, and said slowly: "It seems that the Li family is not stupid, and there is a good chance that they found out about it......"

"Stealing and selling military rations, the crime is not small, and it is a fire in the inner house, the Li family should be in a hurry......" Feng Yan's tone was light, and he sounded calm.

The Li family was originally irrelevant, the problem is that this time is different.

The Li family is now Zhen Zhen's uncle's family, with Zhen Zhen's temperament, if the Li family is in trouble, she will take a hand!

Feng Yan's eyes flashed, and he quietly tried to say, "Mother, what do you think of the Li family?" ”

Li Jia...... An Ping was stunned.

The Li family was only promoted in recent years, and it is a person from today, and she has no relationship, and the reason why he sent people to keep an eye on Minzhou has nothing to do with the Li family, just because Minzhou has a special location, located in the southeast coast of Dasheng, surrounded by mountains and rivers, whether by sea or land, it is the key point of north-south transportation.

Long before Feng Yan went to the north, they got news from Minzhou, saying that someone was secretly stealing and selling military rations, and this investigation found out to the eldest lady of the Li family.

For An Ping and Feng Yan, if it was necessary, they just managed to let someone replace the Li family, so although they had already caught the fault of the Li family, they did not make a noise, and only left a handle in their hands.

This is the tacit understanding between their mother and son.

Anyway, without the Li family, there are also the Zhang family, the Wang family, the Chen family, or something...... Wait a minute!

An Ping suddenly had a flash of inspiration, fortunately, her son woke up the dreamer with a word, she forgot about it like this, the Li family is insignificant, but the Li family is the grandfather of the future daughter-in-law!

It's no wonder that the son cares so much about the Li family for some reason, it turns out that it is for his daughter-in-law!

An Ping cleared his throat and said, "I think the Li family is good." ”

Isn't it just that Mrs. Li is bad? You can't spoil a pot of porridge for a mouse droppings, can you?! Besides, the Li family has made great achievements in Minzhou, and they do have real skills!

"Yes." Her tone was resolute.

Feng Yan originally thought that it would take a lot of effort to convince his mother, but he didn't expect that his mother and him really had a heart-to-heart, and they wanted to go together!

"That's what my mother said." Feng Yan hooked his lips and smiled, his already handsome face was even more eye-catching, "I'll go to Minzhou immediately, and let the people over there keep an eye on it." ”

The mother and son looked at each other and smiled, each thinking about it, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became much lighter.

An Ping took a sip of tea, thought of something again, and said meaningfully: "Ah Yan, it is estimated that in a few days you will be able to go out to let off steam." ”

"Mother mean autumn hunting?" Feng Yan raised his eyebrows.

It's September now, and at this time of the year in previous years, the emperor will leave Beijing to go for autumn hunting, with the emperor's temperament, he must not rest assured to leave him in the capital, he must go.

"It's okay, I'll go out and make a fox fur for my mother to make a scarf." Feng Yan said casually, thinking that he had to hunt a piece for Zhen Zhen.

"Ah Yan, one piece is not enough......" An Ping raised his eyebrows and smiled. Of course, one piece is not enough, and you have to hunt one for your future daughter-in-law!

Mother and son thought of going together.

The corners of Feng Yan's lips curled slightly, and he was about to respond, when Ziyue's voice came from outside: "Your Highness, Gongzi, Master Ma is here." ”

Hearing this, the smile on the corner of the mother and son's lips was closed, and the autumn noon sun was warm and warm, but the air in the room instantly cooled down.

An Ping narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "Let him come in." ”

After a while, he heard the sound of a servant saluting outside, and as soon as the curtain of the door opened, a fair-skinned and handsome man in his thirties strode in.

He wore an indigo bamboo leaf pattern brocade robe, a jade crown with a brocade belt, a tall and straight figure, a pair of black eyes with a clear look, and a radiant look between his steps, at first glance, he was only twenty-seven or eighteen years old.

It was Anping's horse sealing.

Feng Prezhi and Feng Yan are both handsome people, but Feng Yan's appearance is more similar to An Ping, and his facial features are more delicate and dazzling than Feng Prezhi.

"Anping!" Feng Yuzhi looked at An Ping on the Luohan bed with a smile, his dark eyes were shining brightly, shining brightly, but when his gaze swept over Feng Yan on the side, it was slightly dim and obscure.

"Father." Feng Yan got up and clasped his fists in salute.

"Ah Yan, you're here too."

Feng Xuanzhi sat down on a circle chair opposite Feng Yan with a faint expression.

An Ping showed a hint of impatience and asked directly, "What are you doing here?!" ”

Feng Yuzhi's gaze shifted from Feng Yan to Anping again, and the corners of his mouth flashed with a courteous smile, "Anping, it's my mother's birthday in three days, and my mother plans to hold a birthday banquet, why don't you go back to the house and stay for a few days?" ”

"If the palace is not free, I won't go." An Ping interrupted him, his expression a little detached.

The smile on the corner of Feng Yuzhi's lips froze, he fixed his mind, and said reasonably: "Anping, you are the eldest daughter-in-law of the Feng family, why should you attend your mother's birthday banquet!" ”

An Ping hooked his lips and smiled, and said lightly: "Don Ma, you also have a flat wife by your side, let her help Zhang Luo greet you." ”

She really cares about herself in her heart! Feng Yuzhi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Anping, at that time, she was only forced by the situation, and ...... wanted to be angry with you, "How can she compare with you and ......"

He was only halfway through speaking, An Ping raised his hand to stop him, and looked at his eyes for a moment, cold and decisive, "Fourteen years ago, this palace was going to reconcile with you, and from then on, I broke off my righteousness." But you don't agree. That's why the palace retreated to the second, the palace lives in the princess's mansion of the palace, you live in your Feng family, and from then on the palace and your well water do not violate the river water! Have you forgotten?! ”

Feng Yuzhi's complexion changed a few times, his eyes looked at Feng Yan with a difficult look, and there was a thick haze in his eyes, and he said slowly: "Anping...... It's been so many years, I've let go, I've ...... I don't mind, I just want us to be the same as before...... Why don't you let it go?! ”

An Ping was silent.

There was a moment of silence around them.

An Ping looked at him with only impatience and tiredness in his eyes, and unceremoniously ordered the expulsion: "The palace is tired, if the horse has nothing else to do, please go back!" "Fourteen years ago, there was nothing to say between them!

Feng Yuzhi's whole person froze, and it took a while to return to normal, and he stood up again as if nothing happened, "Anping, take care of yourself, I'll come to see you in a few days." ”

Feng Yuzhi came to have only a cup of tea, and his butt was not hot, so he left again.

The curtain of the door was lifted by his hand, and then rudely thrown down, and the curtain brushed down, bringing a gust of wind, shaking endlessly, and even the phoenix embroidered on the curtain was eclipsed.

Feng Yan looked at the door curtain in a daze, and a pair of starry eyes under his long eyelashes were as deep as a spring.

"Mother......" Feng Yan's lips moved slightly, and he wanted to stop talking, but when his eyes were on Shang Anping's indifferent and resolute face, the words were stuck in his throat again.

Anping picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then changed his words: "In the past two days, Beijing has been lively...... Ah Yan, this morning, Lord Duanmu, the head of the household department, just made a twist and turn, asking the emperor to open the sea ban and open up the sea trade...... Do you know this? ”

Feng Yan was stunned and raised his eyebrows slightly.

An Ping hooked his red lips and smiled, as if this was an extremely interesting thing. She seemed to mumble to herself: "Duanmu Xian, this old guy is bold! ”

Feng Yan half-lowered his eyes, and he also smiled, but his smile was for other reasons.

It's not Duanmuxian who is bold, it should be Zhenzhen.

At noon in autumn, the sun shone softly, there was not even a trace of wind in the courtyard, and the princess's mansion was quiet, comfortable and peaceful, cutting off the hustle and bustle of the worldly court.

Duanmu Xian's excerpt this morning can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, causing a shock up and down the court.

More than 10 years ago, the sea was rampant and harassing the coast, not only robbing passing merchant ships, but also disguising themselves as merchant ships ashore to burn, kill and plunder, so the sea ban was issued 10 years ago.

Since the Li family was stationed in Minzhou, the bandits were suppressed, and the coastal areas of Minzhou have gradually become peaceful again in recent years.

Duanmuxian's excerpt is obviously prepared in advance, after careful consideration, the excerpt first expounded the beginning of the sea ban in those years, and showed that now Minzhou has been peaceful, and then analyzed the benefits of the sea ban on Dasheng, whether it is an official ship or a civilian ship, going to sea can communicate with overseas countries, increase taxes, fill the treasury, and enrich the country and strengthen the people.

It has been ten years since the sea ban, and as soon as Duanmu Xian opened his mouth, it immediately attracted the opposition of some courtiers:

"Your Majesty, the minister feels inappropriate. Opening the sea ban will only lead to chaos at sea, and the lessons of the past are still in front of us! ”

The minister seconded. It is not easy for Minzhou to be peaceful, and at this time, the sea ban will undoubtedly repeat the mistakes of the past, making Minzhou chaotic again! ”

"Your Majesty, although the ban on opening the sea has one benefit, it has all kinds of harms!"

In addition to those opposing voices, most of the government and the opposition are still waiting, after all, there have been disasters on all sides recently, and the imperial court really needs to increase taxes to fill the treasury.

After a few days of early dynasties arguing over this topic, the emperor has not expressed his position, so the stalemate for three days, some ministers proposed to ask the Li family, after all, the Li family guards Minzhou, and knows the situation in Minzhou and the coastal area best.

This time, the emperor finally had a reaction, and issued an order to ask Li Peikai, the chief soldier of Minzhou, and sent it out in an expedited manner of 800 li.

The Manchu Dynasty complimented Emperor Shengming, seeing that the plan was going very well, but the emperor's next decree made the corners of Duanmu Xiancai's mouth freeze again.

The emperor ordered the autumn hunt in October, and the Qintian supervisor chose an auspicious day to travel, and hundreds of officials accompanied him.

Duanmu Xian felt bitter in his heart, the sea ban had not yet appeared, but the autumn hunt in front of him meant that the household department was going to raise money again.

This kind of suffering is not enough for outsiders.

I thought it was September this year, and the emperor probably forgot about the autumn hunt, but he didn't expect it to come!

Duanmu Xian sighed secretly in his heart, on this day, he was busy in the household department until the sun went down before returning to Shangshu Mansion.

By the time he came to Yongxi Hall, the sun had already set for the most part, and it was the time for the juniors to settle at dusk.

Everyone asked Empress An to sit down one by one, and Duanmu Xian said: "The emperor decreed, next month and autumn hunting, I will accompany the ...... on the trip" As he spoke, his eyes fell on Duanmu Fei's little face, and he said with a smile, "Four girls, you go with me." ”

As soon as these words came out, the room fell silent instantly, and there was no sound of talking and laughter, only the subtle sound of Duanmuxian slowly plucking the tea leaves with the tea lid.

The room was full of astonishment, almost stunned.

Today, he has always liked to ride and shoot hunting, Duanmu Xian, as a close minister of the Son of Heaven, will accompany the autumn hunt every year, but he has never brought his juniors with him, and even Duanmu Heng, the eldest grandson of the house, has not enjoyed this honor.

Duanmu Qi stared at Duanmu Fei in disbelief, why did this fool get his grandfather's favoritism!

She looked at the He family expectantly, and her grandmother would definitely not agree, right?

"Old lady, I'm afraid this is inappropriate." A cluster of flames in He's heart lit "nourishingly", and he objected without thinking about it, "Sister Scarlet doesn't know how to ride and shoot, and she is from the little girl's family, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient......"

Since Duanmu Xian did not discuss with the He family in advance, but directly mentioned this matter, he had made up his mind, and said in an unquestionable tone: "I have my own reason...... The matter was settled. ”

He opened his mouth, but he didn't speak again after all, but a chill flashed under his half-hanging eyes.

Duanmu Xian's gaze turned to Duanmu Jun again, and he gently instructed: "Sister Jun, you help your sister prepare a few more sets of riding clothes." ”

A bright and bright smile rippled on Duanmujun's white face, as delicate as a peony blooming, and he seemed to be even happier than Duanmu Fei beside him.

"Yes, grandfather." She owes a debt, and her voice is as crisp as jade.

Xiao He's eyes on the side were also slightly gloomy, looking back and forth at Duanmu and Duanmufei, and his right hand tightly pinched the handkerchief in his hand. The two sisters of the long house take care of each other, and their arrogance is really getting stronger and stronger!

She still has to find a way to marry Duanmujun as soon as possible.

Thinking about it, Xiao He's eyes were fixed on Duanmujun, who had a compelling complexion...... The Yang family sent someone the day before yesterday, which can be regarded as full of sincerity, she has to talk to her mother-in-law again, if this family business can be done!

"Amin." Duanmuxian remembered one thing, and said, "When Sister Yuan finishes receiving the punishment, send her to Ru County." ”

He Shi was taken aback and said in disbelief: "Old lady, Sister Yuan is only twelve years old, and the poor township of Naru County is ...... of bad water."

"yes. He was only twelve years old. Duanmu Xian's eyes were cold, and he said lightly, "I only dared to drug my sister at the age of twelve, and I was to blame him." ”

For the He family, Duanmu Fei and Duanmu Jian are not as close to Duanmu as the relationship between Duanmu and her blood.

But in Duanmuxian's eyes, these are his own granddaughters.

He can not care about the mediocrity and incompetence of his grandchildren, but he can't tolerate framing and fratricidal for his own selfish desires!

"Old lady......" He also wanted to say that she had severely punished Duanmu Yuan, making her kneel in the Buddhist hall for three days and three nights, and copying the "Diamond Sutra" a hundred times.

But Duanmuxian didn't want to listen to it anymore, "This matter is so decided." He struck the final word, got up and said, "I'll go to the study first." "He still has to calculate where to move the money from this autumn hunt......

In the eastern room, there was silence.

After Duanmuxian left, the He family's grass with a sinking face like water sent the others away.

Duanmujun and Duanmufei returned to Zhanqing Courtyard together.

In the autumn hunt in October, the time was really tight, and Duanmujun immediately summoned the sewing room to tailor Duanmu's clothes.

It wasn't until it was completely dark that the sewing room was gone.

Only the two sisters were left in the east room, and Duanmu Jun sighed regretfully: "Zhen Zhen, it's a pity that when you were in Fuqing City before, you were young and didn't learn to ride a horse......" Speaking of this, Duanmu Jun couldn't help but be worried, and said worriedly, "You must be careful not to run around in the hunting ground, not everyone is as good at archery as Daddy and Feng Gongzi, and some of them have archery skills...... It's not very good to be a quasi-header......"

Duanmu pursed his lips and shook his head in disagreement.

Duanmu Fei nodded obediently from time to time, but he was so frightened by the words "Feng Gongzi" that he almost choked on the tea.

Duanmu steadied himself, eased up, and wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.

Seeing that Duanmu Fei's expression was a little weird, Duanmu Jun hurriedly said: "Zhen Zhen, don't be careless, you don't know that some young men are fancy ......."

Duanmu Fei listened interestingly, and couldn't help but hook his lips.

She knew that Duanmu Jun was worried that there would be some gentlemen among the noble children who went hunting with the emperor, and she was afraid that she would be accidentally injured by those who didn't know the severity.

She sat upright and listened carefully to Duanmujun's teachings......

Twilight is four, and night has fallen.

The late autumn night is less disturbed by the chirping of cicadas, and it is very quiet and peaceful.

Soon, the Qin Tianjian set the fifth day of the first month of October as an auspicious day for travel.

In the next few days, the Zhanqing Courtyard made various preparations for Duanmufei's trip with Duanmujun as the center.

According to Duanmujun's idea, she also wanted to prepare a horse for Duanmufei, but the horses in the house were either used to pull carts, or they had owners, and there were no suitable horses to choose from.

The origin of the horse outside is unknown, and Duanmujun does not dare to buy it at will, after all, Duanmufei does not know how to ride a horse, so he must carefully choose a docile mare.

As the saying goes, when drowsiness comes, someone hands a pillow.

On September 29, Xiangyun Lane sent someone to send a docile mare, probably thinking that Duanmu Fei was young, and specially sent a bantam horse.

It was a snow-white mare, without a trace of stray hair, and its hair was shiny in the sun, and the height of the horse's back was comparable to Duanmu's chest.

It paced briskly, snorted, and flicked its ponytail like a whisk from time to time, and its eyes were docile, making people feel good at the sight.

Duanmu Fei's eyes were shining when he looked at the mare, and his little face was radiant.

After the Li family left, Duanmujun simply took Duanmufei to the horse farm to test the horse.

Although the Duanmu family is a scholarly family, the men in the family must be proficient in the six arts of gentlemen, so a small horse farm was specially opened in the northwest corner of the house.

Bi Cicada and a few other little maids were very excited to see this beautiful white horse, and they were chattering around the horse like magpies.

"Zhenzhen, you can give it a name!" Duanmu Jun suggested with a smile.

Duanmu scarlet groaned for a while, then had an idea, and said with a smile: "Sister, how about being called Shuangxuan?" ”

Looking at the white horse's white silk-like hair, Duanmu Jun smiled, stroked his palms and praised: "This name is good, good, it's called Shuangyun." ”

"Frost." Duanmu Fei called the name of the white horse as she stood on tiptoe and boldly reached out to caress its slender and powerful neck, trying to express her closeness.

Shuang Su did not reject, and happily shook the long ponytail, and let out a soft breath in his nose.

This is indeed a very tame horse.

"Sister, does Frost know I'm calling it? It's so smart! ”

Duanmu smiled with a frown, this was the first horse she had.

Duanmujun smiled on the side and pointed out how she could get close to Shuangxu, but he was not in a hurry to teach his sister to ride a horse, but only asked her to feed the horses candy, let her lead the horses for a walk in the horse farm, and let this person get familiar with each other little by little.

The sisters' crisp laughter echoed in the racecourse for a long time.

From this day on, Duanmufei has one more thing every day, that is, when the sun sets at dusk, he goes to the horse farm with Duanmujun to learn to ride a horse.

The peaceful days passed quickly, and early in the morning of the second day of the first day of October, the eight-hundred-mile expedited excerpt of Minzhou finally arrived in the city, and drove through the streets of the capital like a red dust.

"Eight hundred miles expedited!"

With the hoarse shouts of the messenger on the horse, passers-by all avoided it.

Halfway through the early dynasty, the post envoy entered the Jinluan Palace, and the fold passed through Cen Yin and handed it to the emperor.

When the emperor opened the fold, all the ministers fell silent.

Where the matter of the sea ban is going, it may depend on Li Qikai's excerpt.

The emperor slowly looked at the fold in his hand, and his eyes darkened with the lines of words.

Li Qikai said in his excerpt that now the pirates along the coasts of Minzhou and the south have been swept away, and only four or five remnants of bandits who are not in the mood are left wandering on the sea and dare not land on the shore.

However, because of the ban on the sea, the smuggling in Minzhou and the south of the country was rampant, and many private businessmen privately prevented the private ships from going to sea in order to make huge profits, and went to Nanyang, bringing back goods from the coastal area to the shore and then selling them to various places in Dasheng.

And those bandits never confronted the officers and soldiers head-on, only robbed the ships of those smuggling merchants, coming and going like the wind, even so, the smuggling of the people is still repeatedly prohibited, since ancient times the merchants have been profit-seeking, which shows the huge profits of ocean trade.

At the end of the excerpt, Li Qikai said that instead of repeated bans, it is better to standardize treaties and open the sea ban, so that those blood leeches will no longer have a chance to take advantage of it.

For the sake of Dasheng's prosperity, it is imperative to open the sea and ban the sea.

The emperor's face changed slightly, although Li Qikai did not say it explicitly, but the implication was clearly that those groups of pirates were now "fed" by the cargo ships that were robbed by those smuggling merchants.

And the reason why the Minzhou government has no way to take those bandits is precisely because those smuggling merchants themselves can't see the light, so they not only dare not sue the officials, but also deliberately avoid the officers and soldiers when sailing, so it gives the bandits an opportunity to take advantage of!

If, as Li Qikai said, after the opening of the sea ban, the treaty is standardized, and those merchant ships are allowed to take fixed routes and dock at fixed ports, then officers and men can arrange patrols on the shipping routes, completely cut off the survival of the sea bandits, and draw rich taxes from the imported goods to fill the state treasury.

After Cen Yin finished reading this excerpt on the spot, Duanmu Xian immediately stood out of the queue, made a long bow to the emperor, and said loudly: "The minister seconded the proposal." Your Majesty, the advantages of opening the sea ban outweigh the disadvantages, and the ministers think it is imperative. ”

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty fell silent again, and there was silence in the Jinluan Palace.

Those shrewd ministers knew in their hearts that the emperor couldn't wait to instruct Cen Yin to read the excerpt, which itself meant that the emperor should be moved.

So, who would be stupid enough to splash cold water on the emperor at this time?!

Such a big event, of course, the emperor did not make a decision on the spot, and soon announced his retirement from the court, and left the Jinluan Palace in the bow of the hundred officials.

The emperor walked along the empty verandah, and Cen Yin and a small chamberlain followed him silently, following in unison.

The emperor's voice suddenly sounded in the verandah: "Ah Yin, what do you think about the sea ban?" ”

After being silent for a moment, Cen Yin replied slowly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this time and that time. ”

"Oh?"

The emperor's tail tone rose slightly, and motioned for Cen Yin to continue.

Cen Yin continued unhurriedly: "Ten years ago, there was a flood of bandits and robbers along the coast of Minzhou, disturbing people's livelihood, and the sea ban was to quell the chaos; Now ten years have passed, the four seas have been leveled, the people are happy, and there is the Li family stationed in Minzhou. This is no longer the case. ”

"The minister thought that the opening of the sea would increase the tax revenue and fill the treasury; Second, you can also promote the prestige of our great prosperity to the barbarians of the four seas. ”

The emperor's brows relaxed, his expression was cheerful, and he stroked his palms and smiled: "It's a good time for this time and that time!" You can say that again. ”

"The emperor has won the award."

Cen Yin's enchanting black eyes were bright and shining, and they seemed to be more dazzling than the golden glazed tiles in the sun.

Cen Yin knew that the emperor had long been moved by the opening of the sea ban, but it was the emperor who advocated the sea ban ten years ago, and the emperor had always loved face, felt that he was a prosperous emperor, and wanted to become a model for future emperors like Emperor Qin and Han Wu.
