Chapter 10 The Turmoil of the Early Dynasty
Zhu Houzhao's surprise is justified, such a huge ship, the manpower and finance consumed are unimaginable, as well as the wisdom of craftsmen, who said that the ancients are inferior to modern people, then come and see this lucky ship, it will definitely make some people die of shame, especially the scum professors who boast of the whip dynasty.
"Good thing, with the lucky boat, I can go out to the waves, quack~." Zhu Houzhao said with a strange smile.
Seeing this, Liu Jin finally found that the prince who was familiar with him had returned, oh, no, it was Your Majesty.
Zhu Houzhao pointed to the chart and said with a smile; "The ancestor of Yongle is really wise, who can not be afraid of robbing such a big ship..."
"Ahem~!" Liu Jin coughed twice and didn't dare to listen again.
Zhu Houzhao said; "Dog minion, tomorrow bring all these materials to the Ministry of Industry and hand them over to Xu Guan, tell him to start supervising the construction immediately, as for the silver, ask Zhou Jing for it, if he dares not to give it, you know what to do, right? Quickly build the lucky boat for me, and I will leave this matter to you, and I will do this for me, I believe you. ”
Liu Jin suddenly burst into tears, and he was so moved, and he didn't know where he got so many tears, "The slave and maid must do it well, who dares to make a hindrance from it, so that Your Majesty is unhappy, the slave and maid will make his whole family unhappy, Your Majesty rest assured, the slave and maid will definitely do things beautifully." ”
Zhu Houzhao nodded, he likes Liu Jin more and more, he can rest assured, he is comfortable with the pot, and it does not affect his wise image, hehe.
With the drawings, then the next thing left is to start the work, but the question comes again, who controls the ship, he can't come in person, although he wants to do it very much, it is estimated that he will be sprayed to death by Liu Li Xie and the three elders, as well as those ministers and imperial historians.
"It's you, I'm optimistic about you." Zhu Houzhao smiled.
Liu Jin shuddered for no reason, and he didn't know what Zhu Houzhao was talking about.
But he knows that His Majesty has caused trouble this time, and it is not small, first of all, it is a big trouble to open the sea ban, shipbuilding and going to sea, commercial taxes, which are all unstoppable, but he is involved in three things, Mu Bin, Fan Ting, these two dog things who don't know whether they are alive or dead, and they don't know how things are going?
Zhu Houzhao didn't realize it at all, and went to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother to ask for peace, that is what must be done every day, and he is also happy, there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure? What's more, there are still two treasures, the relatives of the Queen Mother, and the two uncles of the Queen Mother's family, these are all resources that can be used! It's you, you didn't run.
"Mother, what do you think? The uncles are idle all day, it's better to find something for them to do, it's better than causing trouble, there are many imperial history handed over a lot of folds, and they were left in by the sons, how can they go on like this, they can't ignore it, in this case, those imperial histories should say that the sons and daughters are protecting their uncles. ”
Empress Dowager Zhang didn't know what Zhu Houzhao's idea was, and her two younger brothers didn't know how much trouble they had caused him, and she was also very helpless, she couldn't really do anything to them, the emperor seemed to have a point, so as not to stay in the capital and look upset.
"Emperor, although Shouning Hou Jianchang Hou is a little out of tune, how can I say it, it is also your own uncle, you can just watch these things and do it, the queen mother is in this world, there are only you and your two uncles." Empress Zhang reminded.
Zhu Hou said that there was drama in his heart, continued to agitate, and was careful to tempt; "Don't worry, the queen mother, the affairs of the two uncles are wrapped up in the sons, so the queen mother agrees?"
Empress Dowager Zhang sighed slightly; "I don't know if it's right or wrong, the emperor must promise the queen mother, no matter what, your uncle can't be fine." kept giving Zhu Houzhao a warning.
Someone, who was already happy in his heart, hurriedly solemnly promised to promise not to let the uncles have an accident, and the fate of the two uncles was sold by his sister in this way, at this moment, the two marquis are still discussing what to eat for tonight's meal?
At the morning court meeting, as Liu Jin guessed, the imperial historian took the lead with Shi Lin and Wang Zongyi to impeach Liu Jin and detain the six ministers and their family wives and children without authorization.
"Your Majesty, Lord Liu is an old minister, when the first emperor was in power, he relied on it, and he has been working hard in the Ministry of War for many years, and he has never slacked off in taking care of the Ministry of War. Lord Liu is the secretary of the military department of the six departments, and the court is a member of the second grade, why do you take people? Lord Liu is designed for the imperial court and for my Ming Dynasty, knowing right and wrong, knowing righteousness, what is the crime? Minister, please Your Majesty Holy Judgment to punish Liu Jin's crime, and the minister will impeach. ”
Zhu Houzhao listened comfortably to the noise of the ministers below in the dragon chair, looking very leisurely, not caring at all, what do you say, you continue, I listen.
Liu Jian was in front of all the adults, and he did not participate or stop it.
Xie Qian was about to move, and after thinking about Li Dongyang's warning before entering the hall, he shut up again.
Li Dongyang shook his head in front of the crowd, listening to the advice of the imperial historians on the left and right, as if he was commenting, and he was more comfortable than Liu Xie and the two adults.
Liu Jin knelt in the palace and didn't argue for himself, his own Majesty's temper, the people he trusted, no matter what others said, he wouldn't blame him, not to mention him Liu Jin, would His Majesty still be bullied by them? Isn't that a slap in the face of His Majesty?
Zhu Houzhao saw that they were done, so he said with a sad face; "The imperial historian has heard of the incident, I don't blame you, I only blame me, blame me for being in a hurry, blame me for worrying about the troubles in the southeast, blame me for not having the ability to make the world no longer starving, blame me, it's not good for me, two Aiqing, get up, it's not you, it's not you, it's me, it's sin."
The two of them are all in the imperial history, looking at each other, Your Majesty said this, how can they take it, this, something is wrong, the whole dynasty was in an uproar, and immediately knelt on the ground, shouting, "Wait for ten thousand deaths." ”
Zhu Houzhao did not stop and continued; "It is still too early for me to ascend the throne, and I will be weak in the crown, and in the future, there will be many major events in the DPRK and China, and I will rely on the assistance of your lords, but I am too anxious, what the two ministers said is right, it is my fault that I broke the rules and locked up the ministers without authorization, and the holy decree did not go through the cabinet."
"The minister doesn't dare, Your Majesty is at a loss, it's my mistake." At this time, if the two imperial historians still hold on to this, it will be really stupid.
Sure enough, Zhu Houzhao, who lost interest in acting, immediately turned his face.
Zhu Houzhao said coldly: "Huh? Did the two Qing family really admit their mistake? Or do you think that I can tolerate your nonsense, force me to comply, punish Liu Jin, follow your wishes, and fulfill your name. ”
All the ministers in the court were shocked, but I didn't expect that today's Your Majesty, without warning, will be thunderous and angry, these days get along, I found that Your Majesty bowed to himself, lenient to others, so that all the ministers like a spring breeze, as if with the first emperor to make people feel comfortable.
But today, they don't like it very much, Your Majesty suddenly changed his attitude, at this moment, they remembered that when His Majesty was still the prince, he was not a deferential and polite lord, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was the most troublesome prince in the past dynasties, and fortunately, the first emperor only left one heir, otherwise he would have been killed a long time ago, etc., they seem to have forgotten one thing, King Ning is the one who was played to death by His Majesty silently.
Everyone shuddered in unison, because it happened too quickly and ended too quickly, so that everyone forgot that there was once a King Ning in the world.
"I came to ask you, and they all said, I am rich in the four seas, but which of you can tell me where the four seas are now?" Zhu Houzhao's eyes swept over all the ministers.
No one could answer, everyone bowed their heads.
Zhu Houzhao continued; "After the sea ban, the southeast can be improved, when the ancestors of Yongle, the Ming Dynasty served from all over the world, came to the dynasty from all directions, and had more than 100 vassal countries, and more than 140 tributary countries, this is what you said about the prosperous age? Nowadays, there are still a few vassal states that remember my Ming Dynasty, and still remember that my Ming Dynasty dominated the Eight Desolations and Liuhe, swept the world's army, and the Heavenly Empire? Hehe! Zhu Houzhao finally smiled coldly, making all the ministers embarrassed.
They wanted to argue, but they felt powerless, because these are all facts, after the sea ban, even the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo rarely came to the court, and even often shirked to the court.
Now the sea ban is no longer appropriate, but no one dares to mention the opening of the sea, because some vested interests have played a role in the wealth of the sea for a hundred years, and the benefits are enough for them to take risks to support the ban on the sea, and now the emperor suddenly spoke, obviously intending to open the sea and do not hesitate to do it, do they want to stop it? Or is it on His Majesty's side?
Zhu Houzhao just transferred the problem to Liu Jin, transferred the problem to the sea ban, and let the ministers discuss and argue, he just wanted to be an audience, anyway, no matter what you discuss in the end, I will also go to the sea, and it is useless for anyone to stop me.
There was chaos in the hall, and the imperial history in front of the palace shouted; "The palace forbids the noise."
Yesterday, Liu Li Xie Sangong and Zhu Houzhao reached an agreement, Zhu Houzhao promised that a certain country on the sea has a grain and potatoes with a yield of 20 stones per mu, and as long as they support the opening of the sea ban and build a big ship, he will guarantee that he can bring back grain seeds, so that no one in Daming will starve to death from now on.
After Liu Jian and the others went back last night, they each called some adults overnight to raise the matter separately, and they had already passed the anger with some ministers, this is a great thing for a thousand years, if anyone stops it, it is a fool, the interests of the sea are moving, these years, one or two are a big business, but if you really want to talk about it, they still care about the name behind them.
And His Majesty also said something similar, that is, Chrysostom Yuyan, can it not make them moved? The silver is enough, but the name behind him has not yet been settled, no, His Majesty sent it, let them speak for the ban on opening the sea, and in the end, it was a person they could not have imagined to come and personally hold a note to invite the pilgrimage.
"Your Majesty, Lord Liu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is outside the palace to ask for a pilgrimage."
"Xuan."
Liu Jin nodded and said in a sharp voice; "Xuan, Lord Liu, the secretary of the military department, enters the hall."
The two left and right Governor Yu Shi were full of shock, and their jaws were about to fall to the ground, wasn't Liu Daxia in prison? How did it come out? When did it come out?
"Minister, the secretary of the military department, Liu Daxia, knock to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, minister, there is a book." Liu Daxia presented a book of folds in both hands and fell to the ground.
Zhu Houzhao's face was expressionless, but he smiled in his heart, look, look, I didn't force him Liu Daxia, I didn't instigate Liu Jin to persecute him, I am Mingjun, so I won't do those things, see what else you have to say.
"Bring it in."
Liu Jin bowed down and walked down, took Liu Daxia's recital with both hands, and respectfully handed over the recital, Zhu Houzhao took it casually, flipped it over, and said to himself in his heart: "This Liu Daxia is still smart!" Hey. ”
Then, after he read it, he handed it to Liu Jin and instructed him; "Read it to everyone."
