Meng Jianmeng, Jin Qimeng, and even Xiang Wenyao and Dong Xing outside the door were taken aback, the two glanced at each other and secretly swallowed saliva.

"Your Majesty! The ministers are all for the future of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Meng Jian beat his chest and said: "If I don't open the sea and ban my Ming Dynasty, I will be like a Kunpeng with my hands and feet tied, I can't hit the Nine Heavens Gangfeng on the top, and I can't swim in the sea of thousands of miles, Your Majesty!" ”

"Meng Jian!" Zhu Qizhen shouted angrily again.

"You are the household servant of the Ming Dynasty, the household servant of the people, you must know your position and know where your ass should sit! I won't say anything to you today, but I'll talk to you when I get back and think about it. ”

Zhu Qizhen knew that what Meng Jian said was right, but if he really showed an ambiguous attitude towards this matter, then no matter whether the sea ban was successful or not, the bureaucratic families and clans in various places would first make enough of the prerequisites, and when the time came, they would say after they had eaten and drunk enough: This is supported by the emperor.

To put it bluntly, the sea ban can't help but be opened, and it must be opened as soon as possible, but the purpose cannot be to let the desperate Ming people have a place to live, but for the sea of stars!

"Your Majesty! Minister! Meng Jian wanted to say more.

"Guo Mao, please ask Meng Shilang to go out." Zhu Qizhen waved his hand.

"Meng Shilang, please!" Guo Mao stopped in front of Meng Jian, and was already ready to pull Meng Jian away, but after all, a person in a high position as a waiter, although he was frightened in his heart, he did not lose his temper, and seeing Zhu Qizhen's resolute tone, he had to get up and retreat.

After Meng Jian went out, Xiang Wenyao and Dong Xing's concerned eyes quickly came, looking at the lost Meng Jian, although he wanted to ask about the situation, he also knew where he was, and he would definitely not ask about things that should not be asked.

"Meng Shilang, the emperor's words, think about it. Lord Xiang, please! Guo Mao said.

Meng Jian Muran clenched his fists, and Xiang Wenyao took a deep breath and walked into the room.

"Lord Xiang is here? Don't be so polite, I can't afford to kneel down with you. ”

Xiang Wenyao was stunned, his half-bent knees were frozen in mid-air, he trembled and looked at Zhu Qizhen, and there was a layer of snow-white curtain in front of him, and he could only vaguely see Zhu Qizhen's figure.

Time seemed to have passed for a long time, Xiang Wenyao seemed to react suddenly, his half-bent knee fell to the ground, and his knees stepped forward with tears.

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!"

"Where did Master Xiang start with this? You are a feudal official, you don't know the taste of food since you are in charge of Guangdong, and you can't sleep well, where does the crime come from? I'm afraid I didn't treat you badly? You're in the cold! Zhu Qizhen said coldly.

"The minister will never have this kind of thought, the emperor, your love and protection of the minister, without your trust, how can the minister be the official of this party's parents? Death is not enough to repay the king's kindness! Xiang Wenyao wept sadly.

"Do you remember what I expected of you? Sent to Guangdong, you can give me a good governance! The chief soldier died in battle, the Qin Cha was missing, and even I could be attacked, is this Guangdong still my Ming province? Zhu Qizhen narrowed his eyes.

Xiang Wenyao raised his head suddenly, and immediately put his head back on the ground, and the nearby floor tiles were already wet with tears.

"The emperor's lesson is that it is the minister's ineffective rule that causes you to be in danger, and it is difficult for the minister to atone for his sins even if he dies! But the emperor, the minister is just a political envoy, and in terms of military management, An Xiangbo is in charge, and the minister is really powerless. Xiang Wenyao cried.

"Since you said that you can't do it, then it won't be difficult for you to do it, as long as you explain the situation and make it clear, I will admit that I have wronged you!" Zhu Qizhen gave Xiang Wenyao a step.

Xiang Wenyao also understood, and hurriedly stopped crying, but still said in a nasal voice: "The minister thinks that the matter of the Qin mission and the attack on the emperor must be related to Xie Guang, and many of the businesses he runs are involved with officials, from a provincial envoy to a small official who has not yet entered the stream. ”

"Xie Guang?"

Xiang Wenyao hurriedly introduced Xie Guang's situation.

Only then did Zhu Qizhen know that the collusion between officials and businessmen in Guangdong had reached this level, and he immediately reprimanded angrily: "Look at the good things you have done!" ”

"The clan is powerful, even if the minister is a clever woman, it is difficult to cook without rice, your majesty!" Xiang Wenyao is still arguing.

"Enough! Get out! "Zhu Qizhen doesn't want to listen to this kind of shirking of responsibility anymore, and wants to be an official who can't offend anyone, then don't blame me.

I don't know why, these people always like to grind, and they have to cry again: "Your Majesty! ”

Zhu Qizhen was upset when he heard it, but he didn't even want to say anything to this person, and waved his hand at Guo Mao in disgust, Guo Mao understood, and he was not polite, and dragged the person out directly, leaving only a cry.

Dong Xing was even more blindsided, why did two of the three people cry when they went in? I'm fine, is it because the emperor is satisfied with me?

Meng Jian figured out something else, his original idea, the emperor was still very happy when he heard it, until he said that he wanted to find a place for the people of Daming who were forced to leave, and the emperor was angry.

From this point of view, the emperor didn't want to blame himself and Dong Xing at first, but he mainly wanted to understand the situation, and what he really wanted to beat was this lord of the domain, so what did he do to make the emperor unhappy? Meng Jian fell into deep thought......

"Your Majesty, what do you see?" Guo Mao returned to Zhu Qizhen and asked cautiously.

Zhu Qizhen looked irritable, the feudal officials can only be officials, and they only pay attention to harmony and light, so how can the people not be chaotic? At the moment, my heart was chaotic, and I had no clue for a while.

I had to say perfunctorily: "That Xie Guang checks if it has anything to do with the shipwreck, let the two brocade guards identify it, and you can look at the rest, and leave Guangzhou early tomorrow morning." ”

Seeing that Guo Mao was about to walk out of the door, Zhu Qizhen suddenly remembered something and stopped him.

"Guo Mao."

Guo Mao turned around in surprise and asked unexpectedly, "What else does the emperor command?" ”

Zhu Qizhen was a little more twisted, he said: "What, I don't need to be served, you and Fan Zhong take Jin Qi to Xiong Zongli to take a look, you two will go to bed early after you are busy, and you should have a good rest after a few days of busyness." ”

Guo Mao almost didn't suppress the tears that wanted to burst out of his eyes, even the rough man Fan Zhong had a sensual moved expression, not to mention Jin Qi, who was originally a little eunuch who was sent to the palace without a father or mother, and he had suffered the cold eyes of others since he was a child, and the three of them knelt on the ground together, their voices were choked.

"Ministers (slaves) thank you long live!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand impatiently, signaling the three of them to hurry up, and he was going to rest.

The three of them slowly retreated to the door, and when they turned around, there was no trace on their faces, and they looked at the three feudal officials with indifferent faces.

"Commander Guo! Does the emperor have any orders? Dong Xing asked.

"Depart for Guangzhou early tomorrow morning, please make arrangements for General Dong as soon as possible, and I, Jinyiwei, will personally review it." Guo Mao replied.

Dong Xing nodded, hugged his fist with Meng Jian and said goodbye, Xiang Wenyao had a constipated expression on his face, and asked a little timidly: "Commander Guo, can you pass it on to the lower officials again, and the lower officials have something to tell the emperor!" ”

The three of them glared at Dong Xing at the same time, and said in unison: "The emperor has rested!" ”

After saying that, ignoring the feudal official and leaving the inner house, Xiang Wenyao looked at the door in front of him and stopped talking, and the brocade guards on both sides were already quietly preparing to stop this court official.

Xiang Wenyao still kept the dignity of a courtier after all, but when he left, his soul was lost in front of the door.

A slight snoring gradually came from inside the door
