No matter how Zhang Zuo explained, the ministers naturally would not listen.

They are aiming at the opportunity and waiting to block the emperor's channel for mining, and it is best to completely cut off the emperor's idea of economic independence, even if the income from mining can withstand the income of the treasury, they have to stop, not to mention that they don't know the input and output of mining now.

For the minister, the mining is independent of the imperial court system, and he must find a way to stop it.

So there will be no result of the court meeting.

The emperor and his ministers had their own opinions.

And those court officials who strictly adhered to neutrality, such as Sun Jiao, Zhao Huang and others, were all silent at this time.

Because from the perspective of traditional civil officials, mining is indeed not a move to benefit the country and the people, if mining can increase income and solve the economic crisis of the Ming Dynasty, it is a move to benefit the country and the people, then the Wanli Dynasty will not suffer so much criticism later.

Zhu Sichao did not get angry in the meeting, because he knew that this was a game set up by Zhu Hao in advance.

At the end of the court meeting, Zhu Si did not summon anyone, nor did he ask Zhang Zuo to talk to anyone, giving the impression that it was ...... I'm so willful, no matter what you say, I should open this mine or open it, see what you can do with me, it's a big deal.

……

……

The court meeting ended.

Yang Tinghe and this side naturally became the target of public criticism.

But in order to avoid suspicion, it was not a group of ministers who came around to reason with Yang Tinghe, only the initiator of this matter, Lin Jun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, came over to ask Yang Tinghe's opinion.

But before Lin Jun could speak, Jiang Mian blocked in front of Yang Tinghe, which means that there are some things that you can't ask directly, after all, there are many people, you are in such a big limelight in the court, and now you are coming to talk to the head of the cabinet to talk about things, don't others think that someone instructed you to do this?

Jiang Mian gave Yang Tinghe some guidance to Lin Jun: "...... The admonition cannot be stopped, but there is no need to be harsh on Your Majesty."

This means that the exhortation cannot be stopped, and it is necessary to continue to put pressure on the emperor, but it is necessary to prevent the emperor from being forced to be anxious, and the monarch and the ministers will completely tear their faces, so we must pay attention to moderation.

But this is obviously a bit embarrassing for Lin Jun.

Lin Jun's character is "don't die if you don't see the Yellow River", the type who has to stick to the end no matter what he does, he didn't save any face for the emperor at this court meeting, such a violent temper is okay to be used as a gunman, but if you want him to advance and retreat in moderation, it is a bit too difficult for a strong man.

Lin Jun frowned and thought for a while before replying, "Understood, as long as Your Majesty doesn't stop the mining matter, it will be played again tomorrow."

Jiang Mian wanted to say, you take it easy, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't say it.

This kind of thing, it is better to let Lin Jun consider it himself, if everything is to be reminded by him Jiang Mian...... The dignified criminal department Shangshu won't even have a little opinion?

……

……

Yongping Mansion suddenly became the attention of the court.

The changes in the military and political system in the northwest are not as eye-catching as the dispute over the Yongpingfu mine.

Yang Shen, as the mouthpiece for explaining and sending Zhu Hao to Yongping Mansion to govern affairs, after learning of the controversy in the court about the legality of Jinyiwei's mining, went to his father Yang Tinghe that night to inquire about the next step to explain to Zhu Hao, and see how the letter to Zhu Hao should be written.

「…… Didn't the Father tell you, 'Don't you interfere in the affairs over there?"

Yang Tinghe learned that his son had come to ask for his opinion, and his face was somewhat displeased.

In Yang Tinghe's opinion, there is no need to instruct Zhu Hao what to do next, he should follow Zhu Hao's own play.

Yang Shen said, "Father, if you don't make any explanation, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for him to grasp the right balance. At the very least, tell him to stop in moderation, or continue to add fuel to the fire?"

Yang Tinghe shook his head slightly: "Even if you only do this step, it is enough."

It means that Zhu Hao has now caused Jinyiwei to take the initiative to provoke, and the goal has been achieved, as for how to develop in the future, Yang Tinghe can't ask if he doesn't want to ask, otherwise the emperor will suspect that he Yang Tinghe is behind the ghost and triggers Jun

Confrontation between ministers.

"Then my father is completely ignoring Jingdao now? However, I have heard that there are often letters from Yongping Mansion that have arrived in the hands of Yongxu."

Yang Shen was very dissatisfied.

My father has been telling me that he won't let me interfere too much in Zhu Hao's mining in Yongping Mansion, but my brother has frequent correspondence with some officials in Yongping Mansion, so he doesn't want to tell me that I don't have to take care of the affairs of Yongping Mansion, and I have to hand it over to my brother to take full responsibility, right?

But it seems that the person who gave guidance before Zhu Hao left was me and not my younger brother!

Yang Tinghe heard his son's suspicion of himself, and scolded him: "Then you tell Yongxu and let him stop communicating with anyone in Yongping Mansion!" Do you really think that Your Majesty has no city at a young age? In the past two years as a father, I have already been exhausted for this court matter, and I don't want to have any more twists and turns. You go out first!"

Yang Tinghe impatiently drove his son away.

There were a lot of troubles, but Yang Shen was still losing his temper in front of him, and even the brothers actually had an internal fight in order to compete for his trust.

Yang Tinghe didn't expect his two sons to help him do anything big, so what to fight for?

It's just a matter of adding to people's troubles!

Yang Shen has always been unhappy in his heart, and when he heard this, he was even more unhappy.

When he left the study, he didn't even look at his father, and his heart was full of disappointment in his father's many actions.

……

……

The next morning.

Many ministers were holding back their efforts to continue to complete the direct advice that was not completed yesterday, and many were even ready to be sceptered.

As a result, the ministers waited all morning, but were told that the emperor was ill......

Drop out of the dynasty.

As soon as the emperor is capricious, he will not go to court!?

This made many ministers resentful, but Huang Jin, who came to pass the word, was very polite, and indicated that he had invited the imperial doctor to go for consultation, which means that this is not His Majesty pretending to be sick, but really sick.

After Yang Tinghe and several cabinet ministers returned to Wenyuan Pavilion, Yang Tinghe deliberately arranged for Mao Ji and Fei Hong to go to the Hanlin Academy to discuss the matter of making an edict with Shi Xuan, Li Tingxiang and others.

And he left Jiang Mian and Liu Chun behind.

Jiang Mian asked, "What kind of statement is Your Majesty's actions today?"

Yang Tinghe first glanced at Liu Chun, and then said, "Your Majesty is waiting for someone to come out and be a peacemaker."

Jiang Mian glanced at Liu Chun, and quickly understood Yang Tinghe's intention to keep Liu Chun.

There was a quarrel between the emperor and the ministers over the opening of the mine, and now neither side can get off the stage, and someone needs to intervene.

Yang Tinghe did not support Lin Jun's death, because Yang Tinghe's character was that as long as he could maintain the stability of the court, even if he sacrificed the interests of a part of the civilian group, it was acceptable, and Yang Tinghe had always been known for taking the overall situation into account.

And Lin Jun is the kind of character who will not give up until he reaches his goal, and he doesn't know how to be flexible, so naturally his relationship with the emperor is very stiff.

The person who can come forward to mediate now is none other than Sun Jiao.

Only Sun Jiao is nominally independent of the emperor and the civil official faction, although Yang Tinghe now also dislikes Sun Jiao's maverick, and even less likes Sun Jiao's desire to form a third-party force in the court, but sometimes, only Sun Jiao can break the deadlock, which is also a step left between the monarch and the minister.

Liu Chun probably understood that he was about to be used as a gunman, and asked tentatively, "Do you want me to find my colleagues?"

Yang Tinghe nodded.

Liu Chun smiled slightly bitterly: "Then what should I say to my colleagues? Either it will be successful or it will not be successful, I'm afraid there is no third way to go, right?"

Liu Chun is not a stupid person after all.

He understood that the emperor's position now was to continue mining, while the civil officials insisted on stopping the emperor's mining.

Beside above, What is the third way?

Can it be opened or not? Who can do it?

Sun Jiao couldn't be allowed to be a peacemaker, but Sun Jiao stood firmly with Yang Ting

And on the other hand, you want to stop Jinyiwei from opening a mine, right? If Sun Jiao was asked to tell the emperor that he could continue to open mines, what was the purpose of Yang Tinghe's mediation with Sun Jiao? Let Sun Jiao stand on the same side as the emperor against them?

No matter how you look at it, it's an unsolvable game!

Jiang Mian said, "I think Jiefu should mean that His Majesty will hand over the mines of Yongping Mansion to Jingdao to take care of, right?"

Liu Chun was stunned.

It turns out that the way to coexist with open and unopened is to take the mine from Jinyiwei and hand it over to others to take care of.

Yang Tinghe shook his head, as if he did not agree with Jiang Mian's statement, and said, "For Your Majesty, the iron ore in Yongping Mansion right now is the time for production interests, and it is easy not to hand over the management rights. If you take it over with respect, I'm afraid Your Majesty won't agree."

Jiang Mian thought for a moment and couldn't help nodding.

Yang Tinghe meant that if Sun Jiao, a peacemaker, was asked to say that the mines of Yongping Mansion would be handed over to Zhu Hao, the vanguard of the opposition to the imperial party, it would be tantamount to directly arguing with the emperor, instead of taking a step back.

In Yang Tinghe's view, the emperor will not easily delegate power.

In other words, in terms of the right to operate the iron mine, Yang Tinghe had to make another half step back before he had a chance to convince the emperor.

Liu Chun asked directly, "Then what should be done?"

Yang Tinghe said: "Now I only ask Your Majesty to withdraw Jinyiwei from Yongping Mansion, and from now on, Zhongguan and Jinyiwei must not interfere in the mining matter."

"Huh?"

Liu Chun was surprised.

I was still thinking about how to take another half step back, listening to the meaning of your words, not only do you have to continue to interfere in the iron ore mining of Yongping Mansion, but you also have to interfere with the Xishan Coal Mine.

You're not retreating, you're advancing, you know?

Jiang Mian said, "Jiefu, what do you want to do is to let Your Majesty continue to take care of Yongping Mansion and Xishan Mine, but you want to change someone to take care of it?"

"Yes."

Yang Tinghe nodded.

Jiang Mian couldn't quite understand, and asked, "Your Majesty's side, either the Zhongguan, or the Jinyi Guards and other close officials, if they are not responsible for the operation, who else can they find?" If it is proposed to hand over the kiln to the household department, it is obvious that His Majesty will not agree."

Yang Tinghe said: "The name is just different."

"Huh?"

This time, even Jiang Mian couldn't understand it.

Liu Chun, as a bystander, seemed to have some taste, and hurriedly asked, "Does it mean that this mine is still managed by the original group of people, but it was transferred to the name of the household department. Or do you have to go through the accounts?"

Yang Tinghe bowed: "That's exactly what I mean. In Yang's view, the mine can be opened, but it must not be isolated from the imperial court system!"
