"Cry!"

In front of the Qianqing Palace, the small forest was dusty, and the sharp voice was full of sadness.

"Your Majesty, ......!"

The ministers wore linen and filial piety, cried and grabbed the ground, and were grief-stricken.

The howls and cries are so loud that the ear drums buzz, and the cry is like the cry of a cuckoo and a blood ape, which makes those who hear it sad and those who hear it cry.

Li Qing is also crying in the mourning team, he is used to it, and he has cried away a lot.

"Stop~"

The howl is changed to sobbing, like a gentle wind and drizzle, and it is eloquent.

After a while, Xiao Linzi sang again: "Cry~!" ”

"My Emperor ......!"

The ministers opened their mouths again in grief and wept.

Inside the temple.

The three brothers knelt in front of the coffin with red eyes and sad expressions.

Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Zhanqi, Zhu Zhanqi...... A group of grandchildren knelt behind the three, all grim and sad.

The whole palace was in a state of sorrow.

……

Li Qing was groggy, and he didn't know how long it took, until he seemed to hear Xiao Linzi shouting: "The ceremony is over." "I came back to my senses.

Seeing that the ministers all got up and prepared to go home for dinner, he also went out of the palace with the team.

People, they are all going to die, and the fourth child is enough...... Li Qing thought secretly, and the sense of loss in his heart was slightly better.

"Li Shangshu." A voice rang out behind him.

Li Qing turned his head and saw Yu Qian with tears on his face, a little surprised, "When did you come back?" ”

"I just came back last night, but I didn't expect the emperor to ......" He looked sad, and then persuaded, "Li Shangshu should also take care of his health!" ”

"yes, I know." Li Qing stopped, in fact, he was not uncomfortable, but he was a little stunned, which was not the same as Yu Qian's grief.

After Yu Qian walked to him, Li Qing continued to walk out, "What's going on in Jiangnan?" ”

"Not so good." Yu Qian's expression was solemn, "The benefits of maritime trade are too great, and a casual trip to the sea will earn more than a whole year of hard work, and the rich gentry in Jiangnan are eager to go to it.

Not only the wealthy gentry, but also the magistrates, nobles, and even vassal kings also participated, and a huge interest group has been formed;

Because of the great interests at sea, the conditions they opened were extraordinarily rich, and the poor people were willing to take risks in order to live a good life;

Alas......"

Yu Qian said bitterly: "The thieves have been suppressed over and over again, but they can't be eliminated, the officials, the gentry, and the people protect each other at all levels, and the people will bear it when something happens, and in return, the rich gentry will help their families;

Officials turn a blind eye to the smuggling of the rich gentry, and in return, the rich gentry will give certain 'benefits', and at the same time grasp the proportion, so as not to make it difficult for the officials, and an unwritten rule has been formed;

This is also the most crucial factor that cannot be eliminated from thieves. ”

After a pause, "Fortunately, last time Lord Shangshu used thunderous methods, although thieves were rampant, there were no robbers...... Well, in fact, there should also be Japanese bandits, but there are no more harms to the people. ”

Li Qing asked softly: "In other words, the current smuggling is for the purpose of making money, and there has been no robbery and harming of the people?" ”

"Well, that's right." Yu Qian nodded: "The magistrate is also afraid of following in the footsteps of the [Tang Sai'er] incident, so he knows how to measure himself, including the rich gentry.

They only want to make money, and they don't want to, and they don't dare to go against the court. As he spoke, Yu Qian stopped talking, as if he was hesitating whether to say it or not.

"There's nothing to say, but it's okay to say it." Li Qingdao.

Yu Qian hesitated for a moment, and saw that he was about to arrive at the yamen, so he said, "Lord Shangshu, let's talk about it after we go back to the yamen." ”

……

The Yamen of the Ministry of War, the inner hall.

Li Qing waved away from the official at the door and said to Yu Qian, "Say whatever you want, there is nothing that should not be said in my place." ”

Yu Qian took a deep breath and said seriously: "The lower officials think that it is not appropriate for the imperial court to ban the sea in the people. ”

After speaking, Yu Qian looked at Li Qing and waited for his reaction.

Unexpectedly, Li Qing didn't react, just bowed his head slightly, and motioned for him to continue.

"The non-governmental maritime trade has brought great benefits to the people, and many people have benefited and their lives have been greatly improved." Yu Qian sighed: "Every time the lower officials clear the thieves, there is a kind of ...... The guilt of cutting off other people's livelihoods. ”

Li Qing was silent, he was weighing the pros and cons of this.

Yu Qian continued: "What impressed Xia Guan the most was that he caught a thief once, that person went to sea to smuggle in order to treat his mother's illness, but he was learned by the fans of Dongchang, and the stolen goods were ...... Alas. ”

Sighing, Yu Qian said bitterly, "The old man in his seventies, kowtow to me, begging me not to check the smuggling anymore, saying that her son does not steal or rob, but just helps others to do business to support the family.

He also said that those smuggling rich gentry were all good people and gave them a way to live...... At the time, that feeling... It's hard to put into words. ”

"Every time there is a crackdown, it will make it difficult for many people to make a living, not only the people who go to sea to smuggle, but also furniture, silk, rouge gouache, spices, porcelain kilns...... As a result, the workers in the various workshops have less work, or even no work......"

Yu Qian sighed: "Xiaguan came back this time, just to enter the emperor and fully open the sea as soon as possible, who expected, the emperor ...... him"

"It is imperative for the people to open the sea!" Li Qing spoke, "The reason why it is not open for the time being is to take into account the national policy of the southerners moving north. ”

"But if it goes on like this, the court will lose the support of the people!" Yu Qian's tone was full of anxiety and pain, "Even...... Now they have lost the support of the people. ”

Li Qing frowned: "Let's talk about this in a few days, it is an important node in the transfer of power, it is best not to make trouble, and after the emperor is buried, the new emperor will take the throne." ”

Yu Qian nodded, he had been waiting for a long time, not too late.

"Li Shangshu, nothing will happen, right?"

"Oh?" Li Qing was surprised, "Why do you say that?" ”

Yu Qian sneered: "During the mourning, the lower officials are behind, and I always feel that some colleagues are ...... Ahem, there's something wrong with the atmosphere, but I can't tell. ”

Even you can sense that something is wrong, can you not have an accident...... Li Qing sighed secretly: The storm is coming, and these civil and official groups that have been suppressed by Zhu Di for a long time are about to take action.

According to the usual practice, it is still the small fish and shrimp who charge in front, and the big guy is planning behind the scenes.

Li Qing said with a smile: "Don't care what others do, just be yourself, in your position, seek your own government, if something really happens, there will be an official in front of you." ”

"Xiaguan understands." Yu Qian nodded.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Before dawn, Li Qing got up, and he had to get it today.

When they came to the Fengtian Temple, the ministers were almost all together, all wrapped in white silk around their waists, and their expressions were sad.

Li Qing glanced at the ministers, walked to his position and stood down, looking at his nose, nose and mouth, mouth care, not moving like a mountain.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhu Gaochi, who was wrapped in white silk around his waist and had two panda eyes on his head, walked into the main hall.

The ministers bowed and saluted, "Weichen see His Royal Highness the Prince, the prince Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose ......!" ”

"Zhongqing is flat." Zhu Gaochi said softly.

"Your Highness."

The ministers got up and looked at Zhu Gaochi.

Chubby stood next to the dragon chair and did not sit down.

From a legal point of view, the moment Zhu Di died, he automatically connected to the throne and became the Ming Emperor.

It is true that as soon as the emperor dies, the crown prince automatically ascends the throne, and the emperor's rights are now all available to Chubby.

But...... Enthronement and enthronement are not the same thing.

The enthronement means that Xiaopang can exercise imperial power, and the accession to the throne means that he has truly become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Wear a dragon robe, sit on a dragon chair, call me, and establish a queen...... These are all things that can only be done after the accession to the throne.

Xiaopang naturally knew this, so even if he kept watch for a night, even if he was tired, he still didn't sit on the dragon chair.

"Do you have a good song?" He straightened his waist, tried his best to stand upright, and was ready for the ministers to 'counterattack'.

The loud voice echoed in the main hall, and for a long time, no one spoke.

Seeing this, Xiaopang relaxed slightly: Fortunately, this group of people is still abiding by the rules, and the father's bones are not cold, and they are still relatively restrained.

"Since there is nothing important, then leave it for reading and scatter ......"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the minister has his own music."

At the entrance of the hall, all of them raised their voices in the middle of the matter.

Chubby frowned and muttered for a moment, "Quasi-play." ”

The Ministry of Rites stepped forward to take out a letter from his bosom and presented it with both hands: "His Royal Highness the Prince, everything that the ministers have played is in this note." ”

"Don't be that troublesome." Chubby is not in the mood right now, "To put it bluntly. ”

The Ministry of Rites took a deep breath and said, "What the ministers played...... Jianwen's loyal ministers are also loyal ministers. ”

Brush ——!

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on this ministry.

Li Qing's eyes narrowed: Sure enough...... The fourth child has seen it so thoroughly!
