The Son of Heaven shows a posture of dominating the world, and it can even be said that he shows the kind of stubbornness that he has only seen many years ago.

It is hard to believe that there is no other reason for such a insistence on conquest of Japan.

At this point, no matter what the other ministers say, there is no room for negotiation in the matter, and there is still no one who dares to resist and disobey the order?

This is the tenth year of Zhengde, not the tenth year of Hongzhi.

Therefore, it is difficult to sustain the discussion outside the Fengtian Gate, after all, it is already this atmosphere.

But what Zhu Houzhao didn't expect was that Wang Hua, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, suddenly took off his crown and knelt down, and said with a righteous and awe-inspiring voice: "Your Majesty inherited the mandate of heaven and came to the universe, enriched the country and strengthened the army, ruled by the arch, and was admired by the people of the world." However, the incident of the Eastern Expedition to Japan was sudden and widespread, and it was shocking. Not only that, His Majesty used troops to the northwest, drove to the south of the Yangtze River, and also wanted to conquer the desert in the north. The ministers did not know His Majesty's intentions, and it was very disrespectful to speculate on their own vain.

I can only think that since the Ming Dynasty, the country is a little stronger, the people are a little wider, and Your Majesty has raged a war. The ministers are not inconsiderate of the holy will, but they are really worried about the country and Your Majesty. Moreover, the holy king is peaceful, and the people are peaceful, and now His Majesty rules the people of the world, living in the four seas, and he should value peace and support all the people. And the prestige is in the border, and Chen Bing is in the four fields, so it is not the will of the people. This minister's heartfelt words, I hope Your Majesty will investigate it carefully! ”

After saying that, an old man slammed his head to the ground.

As an old minister of the Four Dynasties, he acted like this, which made the surroundings suddenly quiet.

These old ministers always seem to have a special courage to pull the emperor back to what they thought he was.

"Wang Hua, your words are soft and hard, and it really hurts to pierce me."

"The old minister doesn't dare."

"What do you mean, my whole person has changed, and I have suddenly become determined to build my own deeds. I also ask you, if the northwest can win with troops, what do you think I will do with the Ministry of Rites? The emperor then expanded the scope and asked: "You all think in your hearts, do you all think that I want to imitate the Han and Tang dynasties, set up a palace to protect everything, and indulge in the great feat of opening up the territory, and then you are satisfied?" ”

The ministers did not dare to speak.

"Wang Hua, you speak!"

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that His Majesty will restore the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties and reproduce the great cause of the ancestors, which is an immortal merit and a place for future generations to admire. Lao Chen is just worried that fighting everywhere and spending countless national resources will make the hard-won good situation disappear! ”

"Don't go around the bend. I tell you that I am by no means a martial artist who only cares about fighting the world, and I originally wanted to discuss this matter with you, so I will simply make it clear. Hami City, since then included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the original Zhongshun King Baiya, that is, since he has rebelled into Turpan, it will be dealt with as a traitor, and I will no longer seal the Zhongshun King in Ha.

Outside Jiayu Pass, around Hami, the imperial court wants to set up a new three divisions for jurisdiction, named Xinjiang, which means the newly returned territory, and when the war is calmed down, the three divisions will be sinicized over there, and a new city will be built, which will be built in turn on the road from the Central Plains to the Western Regions, as a commercial base, the purpose of which is not only to reproduce the ancient Silk Road, but also to make the Silk Road more prosperous!

If you don't understand, then look at the southeast, after the sea trade, Zhejiang and Fujian provinces are gradually rich? So have you ever thought about the Northwest? The land there is barren and the climate is arid, and although it is completely different from the seven mountains, two rivers and one field in Zhejiang, they are essentially provinces that are not suitable for agriculture. Who of you has ever thought about this?! ”

Zhu Houzhao patted his chest, "I thought about it! I want to take Xi'an and Ganzhou as a starting point to rebuild the overland commercial corridor, so that the merchants of the Ming Dynasty can go to the Western Regions, and the merchants of the Western Regions can also enter the Ming Dynasty, so as to increase the flow of people, promote commercial development, and let Xi'an reproduce the glory of the ancient capital of Chang'an!

In Ningbo, a small prefect talked to me about trade and markets, and he told me how suitable it was to do cotton spinning industry, and how to make more people have a livelihood. Why can't you, as my ministers, understand this?! ”

Except for Mao Ji and Wang Hua, the others also knelt down consciously.

Gu Renyi was the first to say, "The ministers are stupid and don't understand Your Majesty's painstaking efforts, and only then will you wake up after listening to what Your Majesty said today!" ”

Zhu Houzhao's young tender face was red and white, "Who will draft the declaration of war?" ”

This kind of thing can be done by a scholar.

However, by agreeing to draft this declaration of war, he actually supported the emperor by default.

Some know they are not qualified, while others have doubts......

"The old minister is willing to propose."

Zhu Houzhao looked over, he originally thought that there would be Wang Wei who was moving over there, but he didn't expect it to be Yang Yiqing. Therefore, his expression was a little softened, and if the head of the cabinet was willing, he would be given a lot of steps.

"Okay, leave this matter to Elder Yang Ge."

"Your Majesty, the old minister has a reluctant request."

"Say."

"The old minister wants to ask His Majesty to solve the word 'industry' for the ministers, maybe the officials can understand a lot after listening to it."

Zhu Houzhao said: "If you think more normally, you won't be unable to talk about it at all." The cabinet will convene the members to discuss it first, and sometimes I will make you preconceived notions if I do. But the word industry is indeed extremely important. ”

Industry?

Question marks began to appear on the doors of many people's heads.

It's a pity that the emperor didn't want to say more, not only did he not say it, but he was also ready to leave.

Anyway, Japan's affairs have been decided, and Zhu Houzhao is too lazy to talk nonsense with them anymore, what to do so much, just be obedient and do it.

Yang Yiqing didn't expect this,

But he did have some interest in the matter.

After listening to the government in front of the Fengtian Gate, he did not let these people go, but after thinking about it and saying, "Since Your Majesty has made an order, then let's all go to the cabinet." This matter is also related to the Eastern Crusade against Japan. ”

……

……

"This matter can only trouble Liqing, you and the emperor discuss this matter most frequently, please tell all of us about it."

"Yes." Gu Zuo saluted Yang Yiqing, then stood up.

On either side of him sat two rows of ministers of the court, and on the right were Yang Yiqing and Wang Wei.

"You don't know, the person named Xing Guan summoned by His Majesty in Ningbo this time, I already knew him earlier, and he is indeed a talented person. In fact, what he said about the industry had been discussed with a few of our friends earlier, and at that time it was only interesting as a new thing, and I did not think that it would make him think that it would make him think that it would be in the emperor's heart. ”

"Liqing, don't sell Guanzi, let's talk about it quickly."

……

……

Zhu Houzhao is not unwilling to teach himself, the reason he said is true, it is better to let the people of this era think about it first.

You Ji came back to report to him that the cabinet was indeed discussing the matter.

This relieved his originally blocked heart a little, "I can make them all sit down and talk about this matter, and I am not a small credit." ”
