Yang Tinghe didn't understand Sun Jiao's intentions.

Back in the cabinet room, Mao Ji asked him directly, "What does Sun Zhitong mean? Why is he here today?"

Yang Tinghe thought about it, and things became a little delicate.

It seems that he Yang Tinghe is involved again, because now the emperor is very fond of asking his opinion.

It's like asking him to do a multiple-choice question, do you support me or not?

Yang Tinghe usually considers the problem from a conservative point of view, and the southeast coastal defense has increased the expenditure by 350,000 taels of silver...... Are you kidding?

How much does the Northwest use in a year?

The key is that most of the southeast coastal defense is transferred from the south of the Yangtze River, which means that such a large amount of money is under the control of Huang Zhan, the secretary of the Southern Household Department.

Huang Zan was not his person in the first place, and the deficit in coastal defense last year was obviously due to being out of his control.

This time 350,000 taels, how much can be actually sent?

Therefore, only adding a few tens of thousands of taels is the best choice at the moment.

Sun Jiao's side is estimated to not increase much, and it is expected to be pressed within 100,000 taels.

"Go back and tell Sun Zhitong, it's best to card the money needed for Southeast Coastal Defense on fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver, if you increase it further...... It's a huge burden for the imperial court."

Yang Tinghe said to Mao Ji.

Mao Ji asked, "But if it is really as Your Majesty said, there will be an accident in coastal defense this year, then ...... Will it be too late for temporary allocation?"

Yang Tinghe was already preparing to deal with other things, and his body shook when he heard this.

It was as if he suddenly understood something.

In the court before, he never figured out how this matter would be carried out if the little emperor was calculating him and wanted to suppress his prestige in the court......

But if it is really as Mao Ji said, there is a big mess in the southeast coastal defense this year, and the imperial court cannot cope with it, then he Yang Tinghe will be held responsible for openly opposing the increase in appropriations in the court.

"It can't be that coincidental, right?"

Yang Tinghe immediately dispelled this terrible thought, and said to Mao Ji, "Although the Southeast Sea Frontier has been unstable in the past few years, it has been a small twist and turn, and it is expected that no big thing will happen, it is just a group of grass bandits and pirates, what kind of climate can it become?"

Yang Tinghe still stood from a conservative perspective and pondered the issue of coastal defense.

Speaking of big flaws, there is none.

Even if there were, pirates and pirates made trouble and sent local soldiers to exterminate them, so could the blame be placed on him? Unless there is really some kind of chaos at the level of rebellion, or the kind that makes the Ming court lose face......

Is this possible?

The odds are slim to none!

Because since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, pirates and pirates have not caused much trouble, and something that has never happened in history happened to collide this year?

Where is that coincidental?

It's better not to do this kind of calculation!

……

……

Zhu Si confidently returned to the Qianqing Palace.

Zhang Zuo followed him, and saw that the emperor was in a good mood, and he was a little surprised, he thought that Zhu Si belonged to "returning from the feathers" at this court meeting.

After all, in the matter of coastal defense, Zhu Si had already made a decision that was brought back by Shengsheng, and Yang Tinghe had not objected to it, but this time because Sun Jiao came forward to stir up the situation, the emperor's good deeds were ruined.

Can the emperor still be happy like this?

"It's a nice day."

Zhu Si looked at the big sun above his head and said with a smile, "I want to go out for a walk and enjoy the scenery outside. Speaking of which, I haven't listened to a play in a few days."

Zhang Zuo said with a smile: "Your Majesty, right now, in the capital, the palace test has not yet been completed, so there is no need to rush out of the palace."

Zhu Si glared at him: "You want to say that because the palace test was not held, the capital was very chaotic, right? Those are all Sven's readers...... Besides, the people who failed to make the list should all embark on the journey back to their hometowns, right? How many are left? After all, there are a small number of people who are admitted to the Gongshi, and there is no big mess...... Oh yes, I haven't asked Zhu Hao yet, who among these tributes is of great use."

Zhang Zuo's smile became bitter.

The emperor really listened to Zhu Hao for everything.

Now even the employment of people must completely rely on Zhu Hao?

But Zhu Hao, as the champion of the previous department, has not served in the Ministry of Officials, will he have a clear understanding of the ability of the ministers of the DPRK and China? Besides, this time the emperor just cares about who is more capable of this quasi-jinshi...... Zhu Hao has never participated in the examination and marking, nor has he been in contact with these scholars, how can he know so much?

"Let's go, I won't do anything else today, get out of the palace early...... I want to have fun with Zhu Hao. Call the third sister again...... Recently, the queen mother has been urging me to choose a good colt for her, which is really a headache."

Zhu Si didn't say it, Zhang Zuo almost forgot.

Zhu San is still Yunying unmarried.

Zhu Sannai was born in the first year of Zhengde, and she is seventeen years old this year, and she is definitely a big girl in this era.

No wonder the old lady was in a hurry to marry her off.

Zhang Zuo asked tentatively, "Let the eldest princess meet with Mr. Zhu...... Wouldn't it be good?"

"Hehe, I think so too, but it doesn't matter, if you don't do this, how can you make the third sister completely dead? Jingdao is already married, unless she is willing to be a concubine...... This is an impossible thing, the face of the royal family is still needed...... She yelled at me before, saying that she wanted to become a monk, but I really don't know what she thought."

When Zhu Si mentioned this sister, he shook his head for a while, and his tone was full of regret.

It's really a lifetime of Zhu Hao's mistake.

Who made Zhu Hao so good?

And Zhu San grew up with Zhu Hao's childhood sweetheart, when Zhu Hao was a child, he also rescued Zhu San from the pond, others don't know about this, Zhu Si, as a younger brother, was a personal participant at the time, and he remembered it very clearly.

……

……

When Zhu Si saw Zhu Hao, it was already afternoon.

Zhu Si went to the hot pot restaurant and the coal kiln private room by himself, and ate in the lobby on the ground floor, without even a drug test. Zhang Zuo and Luo An and others who accompanied him were so worried.

"What a fuss, do you see that I've eaten until now, and I'm not jumping around? They don't know my identity, and they will poison me? On the contrary, it is the food in the palace, I am worried, who knows what the eunuchs and palace maids who cook and deliver food think?"

Zhu Si took a few people back to Sixianju, and his mouth kept chattering.

Recently, he rarely came out to see Zhu Hao, except for talking to the queen and the concubine, the rest of the time he also said a few words at the court meeting.

But because of his high status, it is impossible to talk to people with that kind of egalitarian attitude.

Although Zhu Si became the emperor, he also felt a kind of loneliness and needed to make friends, and Zhu Hao met this need, only in front of Zhu Hao, he would appear casual and unrestrained.

"Salute. You're here?"

Zhu Sizheng was talking, and when he saw Zhu Hao walking in from outside the door, he immediately greeted him warmly, "I just went to your hot pot restaurant to eat...... It smells so good! It's a pity that there are too many customers in your hot pot restaurant, and I can't wait to listen to what the diners have to say after eating."

Zhu Hao said: "The hot pot restaurant wants to make money, it all depends on the high turnover rate, usually a table at noon to sit two rounds of guests, want to come to work to see that you are full of food and drink, but occupy a position and do not move, this is the way to drive customers...... The next time Your Majesty wants to eat hot pot, just ask someone to send the hot pot base and ingredients here, so you don't have to be so troublesome."

Zhu Si smiled: "That's different, I want to feel the life of the common people, and eating there is extraordinarily fragrant." I don't know who I am, my attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, and it is understandable to drive away customers...... Haha, it's funny to think about......

Zhu Hao sighed: "Your Majesty is out of the palace, you still have to be cautious in your actions."

"It's okay, if someone is really bad for me, that's your business, who made someone in your hot pot restaurant have bad intentions? Forget it, I'm kidding you."

Zhu Si was in a very good mood, and changed the topic with his eyebrows fluttering: "In March, I thought that the weather in the north would be very cold, but who knew that walking on the street, the sun was sprinkled on my body, and I was warm all over, which was really comfortable. The willow trees at the end of the streets and streets draw strips, the grass grows and the warbler flies, the flowers are in full bloom, and the spring is full of joy

There are also more big girls and little daughters-in-law in flowers, and they are all showing flowers and branches, and it makes me itch when I look at them."

As soon as these words came out, several listeners around them felt a chill in their hearts.

The little emperor in front of him has signs of developing in the direction of Emperor Zhengde's misdeeds.

You must know that now this folk woman dares to come out of the house, show her face, and dress up a little in the spring season, just because they know that the Zhengde Emperor who robbed the people's daughter on the street is dead, if the first emperor is here, who dares to act like this?

Zhu Hao said: "In the land of Beijing, the folk customs are relatively open, and the more closed the place, the more conservative the folk customs. In addition, women's willingness to go out also means that the security in the capital has improved significantly, and people have a sense of security when traveling. However, His Majesty still doesn't walk around the people much, this person has a lot of eyes...... It's hard to take care of security."

"Oh, what are you talking about? I don't want to hear that...... Oh yes, didn't you ask someone to invite Mr. Tang, why hasn't he come yet?"

Zhu Si asked Zhang Zuo on the side.

Zhang Zuo said: "Back to Your Majesty, Mr. Tang sent someone to spread the word, saying that now he is already the target of the public, and it is easy to be recognized when he goes out, if people know where he has gone, I am afraid that it will not be conducive to hiding His Majesty's whereabouts."

"Oh, that's right, he's different now, as Zhu Hao described...... He's awesome now!" Zhu Sisao came as soon as he opened his mouth.

"This ......"

Zhang Zuo didn't know what to say.

When you are an emperor, how can you be so freewheeling?

……

……

After a few people sat down, only Zhu Hao could sit opposite the table with Zhu Si, which was considered an equal relationship.

Zhu Si came up and asked about the southeast coastal defense.

「…… You just said that something would happen, so it shouldn't be a big deal, right?" Zhu Si asked.

Zhu Hao said: "Yichen guesses that in a little more than a month, the two groups of envoys from the Japanese State who pay tribute and exchange markets will arrive in Ningbo City, and they may have disputes and even fights because of the right to pay tribute...... Now I want to directly entrust and entrust, but I am afraid that it will be very difficult."

Zhu Si sighed: "If it is really as you say, then it will be terrible, doesn't it mean that Xu Pengju, who was guarding Nanjing before, has he taken refuge in me?"

Zhu Hao wanted to say, although you are now the emperor, but your hand has not extended to the Jiangnan District, those nobles are much more difficult than imagined, and said euphemistically: "Before the incident happened, it is difficult to defend in advance, we can only minimize the losses, and at the same time see how to make up for it in the future."

What Zhu Hao said was the "battle for tribute" in the second year of Jiajing in history, which was fought for by the two major forces of the Japanese State for each other, which was originally just a big fight between the two sides, but eventually evolved into a fire in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, which then affected the following decades.

The follow-up troubles of the Japanese are mainly affected by this incident, and the Ming Dynasty only left the Guangzhou City Bo Division, and the Japanese State can no longer do business with the Ming Dynasty through normal channels.

Of course, it is also related to the fact that Japan entered the Warring States Period, and too many failed leaders led the samurai to the Ming coast.

Zhu Hao can't tell people in this era about things that haven't happened, and it may not necessarily happen, so he can only remind him to be careful and see how the situation develops and evolves in the end.
