Yang Pu came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is unhappy if he doesn't say a word!" ”

He felt that this time it was really going to get out of control, no matter who won this battle, the contradictions between the monarchs and ministers would fall to a freezing point, and if the little emperor was enemies everywhere, it was definitely not something that Zhang Fu, Yu Qian, and Li Qing could handle.

You must know that the little emperor offended not only the Beijing officials, but also countless magistrates.

The relationship between the monarch and the minister is like this, which is not the blessing of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qizhen glanced at him in surprise and said, "Quasi-play." ”

"The minister implores the emperor not to use swords and soldiers again, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are not outside the border, this is the territory of my Ming Dynasty." Yang Pu said seriously, "Once the army is used, it is my people who will suffer!" ”

It is said that there are Japanese robbers, but everyone knows that it has little to do with the Japanese bandits.

Japan didn't have the courage to invade the Ming Dynasty at all, at best, it was an armed and unofficial act formed by some ronins, and in fact, most of the people were still instigated and bought by the Ming Dynasty.

"I said it, I'll talk about it later." Zhu Qizhen said.

"Please also ask the emperor to make it clear whether he will use swords!" Yang Pu persevered to the end.

Zhu Qizhen frowned, but he didn't scold, in the past two years, Yang Pu has changed from previous years, and he has helped a lot openly and secretly, and he knows all this.

After thinking about it, he said, "Most likely, no." ”

Yang Pu still didn't give up, and arched his hand: "Please also ask the emperor to give me a word." ”

"Please give the emperor a word." The ministers are well-trained and play together.

Zhu Qizhen hated this set of palace forcing dramas the most, and scolded: "Kneel down at every turn, is it reasonable to kneel?"

Do I want to let you go when I kneel?

Can kneeling down bring money and solve the problem of no money in the treasury? Zhu Qizhen said hatefully: "Don't deal with me with the set of 'I'm weak and I am reasonable', don't pretend to be pitiful, just discuss matters, don't act like a girl." ”

"How can the emperor say that......!" The ministers were grieved and indignant.

Zhu Qizhen sneered: "The facts I said, look at your appearance, where is the decency of half an official?" ”

The officials all said in a deep voice: "Please retract this statement!" ”

"If I say it, I will never take it back."

"Then please ask the emperor to allow the ministers to resign and return to their hometowns." The minister's eyes were red and his lips trembled.

Zhu Qizhen was angry, but he didn't lose his mind, he knew that under the anger of the ministers, it was really possible for all of them to resign, and he would be the one who was so passive.

"I won't take back what I said, and I won't allow you to resign!" Zhu Qizhen is the emperor, he can do whatever he wants, at least on the surface.

After finishing the fire, Zhu Qizhen also calmed down a little, and said lightly: "If Scholar Yang has something to say, let's talk to me on the dragon chariot." ”

The army was about to set off, and Zhu Qizhen didn't want to make any extraneous branches, so he took a step back.

Seeing that sending troops had become an established fact, the little emperor took another step back, and did not immediately press again.

The tense atmosphere eased slightly, and the ministers rushed to Dongyuan with Emperor Luan.

On the dragon chariot.

The two of them sat opposite each other.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Yang Ge Lao has been an official for decades, and his hard work is well known...... Remembering the old love! ”

Yang Pu smiled bitterly: "There are no outsiders here, the emperor has something to say." ”

"Okay, then I'll make it clear." Zhu Qizhen said, "I can't hide it, I can't get used to the things you Sanyang did a few years ago. ”

"yes!" Yang Pu sighed, "The merit is at that time, and the sin is in the future!" ”

Seeing that he was so emotional, Zhu Qizhen's expression softened a little, and his tone was no longer harsh, "Tell me about your hardships." ”

"The emperor is wise." Yang Pu arched his hand and said with a straight face, "Forgive the ministers for their courage, the emperor is too reckless and idealistic, the water in officialdom will not be clear, and it will not be clear, it is the case now, and it will be the same in the future." ”

Yang Pu sighed: "Ministers have been officials for decades, and they have already seen through, not only my Ming Dynasty, but also all dynasties, if not, how could they die...... The minister lost his words, and the minister was guilty. ”

"Alright, get up." Zhu Qizhen waved his hand, "I said that I hate officials who kneel at every turn, and I am not an emperor who can't listen to outspokenness. ”

"The emperor is humble and the old minister admires it." Yang Pu said a cliché, got up and sat back in his seat, and continued: "As the saying goes, the wool comes out of the sheep,

Did the emperor ever think about what would happen if the non-governmental maritime trade was stopped? ”

"Let's get straight to the point."

"If the gentry can't make money from the sea, they will make money from the land." Yang Pu said, "Successive emperors have suppressed land annexation, but without exception they have all failed. ”

Yang Pu asked himself, "People are profit-seeking, and the emperor's energy is always limited, maybe when a certain emperor is in office, it can be avoided to a great extent, but it can't last long, and now the Ming Dynasty opens the sea to trade, just diverting their attention, which is a good thing!" ”

"A good thing?" Zhu Qizhen smiled, "You mean, this is the best way to solve the land annexation?" ”

"Not bad." Yang Pu nodded.

Zhu Qizhen asked rhetorically: "Is the maritime trade of the Song Dynasty worse than the Great Ming?" The Song Dynasty had no land annexation? ”

"But ......"

"I ask you again, what does silk depend on?" Zhu Qizhen asked himself, "Relying on planting mulberry and raising silkworms, you also need land, you say that people are profit-seeking, this is true, but people are also greedy and will never be satisfied." ”

Yang Pu sighed: "Your Majesty, you are really ...... Grown. ”

"I wasn't an ignorant child before," Zhu Qizhen said lightly, "It's just that I'm forced by the situation." ”

Yang Pu was speechless and asked, "Forgive the minister's courage, the emperor's actions in the past two years have been influenced by Li Qing." ”

Zhu Qizhen did not deny it, "I heard it right, no matter who it is." ”

Yang Pu nodded and said, "In the long run, it's right to do this, but what about now? ”

"I can't turn the sky right now." Zhu Qizhen said confidently, "Do you think that the three major battalions of the Beijing Division can't put down the rebellion?" ”

"It's flat, even if the situation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang escalates, it's also flat." Yang Pu said, "But what if there are more than these places of turmoil? ”

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while, "Mountain. There is also a port in the east, you mean there will be chaos there too? ”

"No, no, no, that's not what the minister meant, even if it's really chaotic there, it's not a matter of worry." Yang Pu shook his head.

At this time, Zhu Qizhen couldn't guess it, and said: "The elder of the pavilion has something to say, don't say it directly. ”

Yang Pu sighed, "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about Luchuan?" ”

"The minister can conclude that Luchuan will be chaotic, and if Luchuan is chaotic, Burma will correspond, and then affect Siam." Yang Pu said, "This is the south, let alone the north, although the grassland is no longer what it used to be, its strength is still not to be underestimated;

Over the years, they have been constantly fighting, and they seem to be getting weaker, but in fact they are also getting stronger, and although the imperial court vigorously supports Warat, the Tatar momentum is still getting stronger and stronger;

Does the emperor really think that what you are doing is only harming the interests of Wenchen?

You must know that it is not only civilian officials who participate in maritime trade, but also military generals! ”

Yang Pu sighed, "The minister is more than seventy, to be honest, there are not a few years to live, the minister who is too far away can't see it, but the matter that is close in front of him, the minister can't help but show the emperor." ”gòйЪ.ōΓg

"Maybe the emperor thinks that the minister is short-sighted, but it is a fact." Yang Pu said, "Young Li is light, the emperor is also young, you look to the future, that's right, but blindly pursuing the future regardless of the present, it's not okay!" ”

Zhu Qizhen was silent, his face solemn.

After a long time, he asked, "Does the elder have a clever plan?" ”

"No, only stupid tricks." Yang Pu smiled bitterly, "It's nothing more than a compromise by the emperor." ”

Zhu Qizhen shook his head resolutely: "When things come to this point, how can I destroy the Great Wall?"

I take a step back, and they still want me to take ten steps back, a hundred steps; What the elder said is fine, I will pay attention to it, but I will not be frightened by difficulties. ”

Yang Pu looked at Zhu Qizhen in a daze, and after a while, he lifted his robe and bowed down: "The emperor is sage, and the old minister is on the ground." ”

"Huh...... Get up. Zhu Qizhen helped him up and said with a smile: "Elder Ge's words are worth a thousand gold, and I have benefited a lot." ”

Yang Pu smiled: "Your Majesty, according to the ancestral system, the ministers have reached the age of returning to their hometowns, and the ministers are indeed old, and they often feel that their strength is not enough, so please ......."

"I won't." Zhu Qizhen interrupted him.

Yang Pu smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the minister is really tired, and he really can't help you, the emperor has Yu Qian and Li Qing, and the minister is not in the court, so what's the matter?" ”

"That's not allowed." Zhu Qizhen said with a smile, "As the saying goes, there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, the old man of the pavilion is serious, and I treat the old man as kind as a family, I am reluctant to let you go!" ”

"......" Yang Puxin said: It turns out that you can be so obedient!

But he was really tired and asked to resign again.

Zhu Qizhen still refused.

After three times, Zhu Qizhen still refused, and Yang Pu was helpless.

When Zhu Qizhen said this, his originally happy mood became heavy, and he felt more and more that it was difficult to purge the Qing Dynasty.

I still have to talk to Mr. Li, he always has a way...... Thinking of this, Zhu Qizhen relaxed a little.
