Chapter 228
: The turbulent waves
"There are no less than tens of millions of people near the sea, and the sea is the field of the sea people. The coastal palaces, the land is narrow and the people are dense, and the mountains and forests are full of villages. Most of them have no land to cultivate. The people's livelihood is difficult, and they rely entirely on marine trade to support and make profits for their children.
The ban on the sea was originally a rampant Japanese pirates, but since the ban on the sea, the pirates have become more and more intense. The people on the seashore have no way out and they are in desolate again in the year of desolation. The poor are forced to go into the sea to follow the pirates and gather to die.
The strict sea ban makes people unable to get food. This is the reason. Since this is slightly ineffective, it is better to be diversion than blocking. For more than a hundred years, the money abandoned by the sea has been more than 100 million yuan. If the sea is forbidden, the sea is abandoned, and if the sea is abandoned, the country is abandoned. If the country is abandoned, the people will have no way to rely on it!
The sea is also the territory of the Ming Dynasty. It is responsible for defending the land, and the sea is also responsible for defending the sea. The power of the sea cannot be abandoned. I would like to lift the ban on the sea to use its power to break through the four seas, and to make the robbery of the eight deserts. The wild smoke and weeds will become green and yellow, and the walls will be carved into the halls. Wealth and wealth of thousands of miles, and weeds will be saved... "
Yan Song's ten thousand words of letters have been made in many ways, from the economic, political and military aspects, and has made detailed suggestions on how to set up customs, maritime departments, naval divisions and other matters once the sea is opened, which is reasonable and well-founded. Emperor Zhengde did not comment on whether it was possible, and only followed the rules to copy the residence and report it, and asked civil and military officials to discuss and comment.
For more than a hundred years, there have been many knowledgeable people in the Ming Dynasty who proposed to lift the ban on sea, including those with extremely high reputation and status. However, the advice he made was like a rock sinking to the sea and did not cause any trouble in the court and the country. Yan Song was just a small head of the Ministry of Revenue, so who would pay attention to this ten thousand words? When civil and military officials saw this memorial, they laughed at it and put it on the shelf.
However, this newspaper was somehow spread to the people and Shilin, and unexpectedly attracted the attention of all walks of life, farmers, industry and commerce. The public talked about it, from the circle of interactions between Shilin students, the country's Qi Xunqing, to brothels, and inns and restaurants, people kept mentioning this matter, depicting the various drawbacks of the sea ban. The beautiful blueprint for lifting the ban on bans and communicating business, and public opinion began to quietly change.
However, the six central departments of the court, Hanlin, and imperial envoys did not notice this. Some of their leaders either went to the grandfather, expelled real power, or granted a deposit. These actions were considered a small victory for the emperor's advice: the emperor was unable to disturb him, and this was to give in to all officials to seek peace, so they continued to encourage the emperor and surrendered to the emperor without any reason! He told Liu Jin that he was closed and holy! He told Yang Ling that he was frivolous and domineering, and he was unyielding...
And these memorials that the people involved allowed impeachment to themselves came one after another like snowflakes. But the more you sued me, the more brave you became. The ridiculous ones continued to be absurd, the abuse of power continued to be abusive, and the abuse of power continued to be frivolous.
The first thing Emperor Zhengde did when he moved to the leopard house was that he had made a large number of felt hats and furs. While the cold had not yet melted, he set an example to change into Mongolian Khan's robe and costumes, and ordered all the guards and palace maids to change into Mongolian costumes and set up a huge cowhide tent next to the tiger pond. He claimed to be Kublai Khan, and played Tartars to entertain themselves. He also rode a horse with a group of "Mongolian" guards, lama monks rode horses and did not distinguish between them from mortals.
The Hanlin Academy now has no leader, so she invited the Grand Secretary who had already retired and returned home to live a life of rest. Master Cha, who is respected and respected, entered the leopard room for advice. The old man was trembling and was helped by his two young grandsons into the leopard room and entered the cowhide tent.
Mr. Cha felt dizzy when he saw the Mongolian Khan's tent. He saw Mr. Long lively dressed in the costume of a Mongolian Khan. He didn't know if he should worship with the emperor's ritual, which made him full of talent and knowledge, but he couldn't speak for a long time.
The little emperor Zhengde didn't care about his rudeness. He shook his leather robe sleeves and came happily. When he met, he gave the old master a warm hug and said happily: "Brother Zamuhe, thank you for coming from afar. May immortality be bless you with you! Please sit down and have a cup of milk tea."
After hearing this nonsense, Master Cha's nose was pissed. He forgot all the tactful words of advice he had prepared for a long time. He shivered for a while as if he was stuttering, and stammered and said only one sentence: "I......I...I...I...I...I'll leave!"
Jay Cha walked to the edge of the tent, thought about it and couldn't help it. He turned around and corrected: "Master, Zamuhe is not Kublai Khan's brother. Temujin, who became sworn brother with him, was also a sect of Anda."
Before he could finish his sentence, Emperor Zhengde had already caught up with him and put a white boy on his shoulder. Old Master Cha was startled and just thought: "I am so angry that I am so confused. How can I tell the emperor's fallacy in person? Is this a way to be a minister? Is the emperor giving this white silk... to death?"
I saw two teams of palace maids pretending to be Mongolian shepherds singing and dancing, holding milk tea in their hands and singing the song of seeing off guests that they learned to be the ones they learned to be sent to. Emperor Zhengde said seriously: "Brother Zamuhe, I don't mind that you and Temujin have become Anda. There is more than one string on the horse-head calves, and there is only one brother. We can also be called brothers. This Hada, uh..... When you entered the tent just now, Ben Khan forgot to prepare, great use, great use? If the minister comes, don't forget it."
Wearing a leather robe and a leather hat, with a scimitar, Digu Da was jogging, and rushed over with a small trot, his face full of pleats and laughed like a chrysanthemum: "Yes, yes, yes, I deserve to die. I got a hundred pieces of white silk from the inside and made thousands of Hadas, and I will never forget it."
Mr. Cha felt dizzy, his lips twitched and chirped like a mourning breath. He was stunned for a while before staggering away...
Zhengde looked at the back of Master Cha's escaped from the panic, looked at his own dress strangely, and asked, "Great, isn't my outfit good-looking? Why did Master Cha feel like he saw a snake or a scorpion?"
Gu Dayong smiled flatteringly and said, "The emperor is handsome and powerful. He looks like a hero who is so arrogant in this robe. How come he is not good-looking? It's rare for Master Cha to be a stranger."
Zhengde laughed, took a cup of milk tea from the palace maid, took a sip and frowned, "I really can't get used to this taste."
Gu Dayong secretly looked at his face and said, "Emperor, the memorial to lift the sea ban has been submitted for several days, and no one among the ministers strongly objected. Did the emperor issue an order to establish the Maritime Bureau earlier to lift the ban and trade?"
Zhengde glanced at him and laughed and said, "What? Are you anxious? You can't escape from your life. Don't let me expose my son again. These days, Yang Qing has been impeached and is still busy with all kinds of state affairs. I don't want to ask him to come and see me."
Gu Dayong hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I am not in a hurry. I really want to go to the south. You are far away from the emperor. I have been with the emperor since I was a child. I really can't bear to leave it at this time. Although Lord Yang was impeached, he was very comfortable. He fell in love with two famous brothel prostitutes, one named Su Yue and the other named Hua Weitu. This romantic event is now popular and is well known to everyone."
Zhengde's eyes rolled and he smiled and said, "Snow is the skin, snake is the bone, and flowers are the stomach. This name is very knowledgeable. Su Yue is not a bad person. I think she must be two beautiful beauties. Yang Qing wouldn't be really moved, right?"
Gu Dayong laughed and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, it's okay to do fakes. The emperor can give you a marriage once. You can give it a second time. Who doesn't have a concubine of ten or eight? Lord Yang is only a marquis who is only a wife and two concubines. People even think that Mrs. Yang is jealous."
Zhengde smiled angrily and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Is Mrs. Yang such a native? I moved to the leopard room and thought that I would often see Miss Tang without any restrictions, but it is not convenient for me to invite Miss Tang out for Yang Qing to come out for now. Alas! I really miss Miss Tang, and I don't know how many more days I have to wait."
Since the East Factory main hall was destroyed by Yang Ling's cannon, it has now been re-built. The arrangement of the west hall is still as before, with a fire kang, a few mahogany official hats and chairs, and a statue of Yue Wumu is placed beside the wall, giving it the meaning of "loyalty to serve the country".
Dai Yi had just rushed back from Jinling to meet the emperor, and then went to the East Registration Factory to take office. He accepted the visits from all levels of the office and thousands of households in the main hall, and was about to give a lecture. Suddenly, a hundred households stepped forward and whispered several words. Dai Yi immediately waved his hand to send everyone away, and hurried to the west hall with his robe.
Yang Ling had just finished his seat. When he saw Dai Yi coming in a hurry, he was a little surprised and hurriedly got up and smiled, "I heard that Eunuch Dai is in the front hall to handle affairs, why did he arrive so soon?"
Dai Yi looked very energetic in a brand new Hehong Feiyu robe, a veil on his head, a pink boot on his feet, and a brocade belt on his waist. However, in less than half a year, he looked much older when he looked at his pale and beardless face.
Dai Yi turned over a few steps and said, "My dear said that he would transfer Dai Yi back to the capital to entrust the important tasks within half a year. Dai Yi did not dare to expect too much. Unexpectedly, he would not only accomplish this, but also give me such an important mission. My dear ethics, Dai Yi would never forget it."
Yang Ling quickly helped him up and said, "You and I are ministers in the same court, and they are almost the same ranks as each other. Why should Eunuch Dai perform this great gift? Please get up quickly, please get up quickly."
Dai Yi kowtowed seriously, then stood up respectfully and said, "Sir, please sit down."
Dai Yi pressed Yang Ling in the upper seat, and accompanied him at the lower seat, bowed and said, "Our family has just returned to Beijing. I thought I would go to the adults' house to visit him immediately, but I didn't expect that the adults would arrive first."
Yang Ling smiled and said, "I am about to go to see the emperor. On the way, I heard that my father-in-law has arrived in the capital today and has disappeared for many days, so I came to visit him first."
Dai Yi thanked him and said with a smile: "On the road, we heard that the Lord assisted the emperor to Datong and made great achievements. Now he has been promoted to marquis and promoted to the position of general of the Pillar Kingdom. It is really gratifying.
It's just that I heard that some people are impeaching the adults to linger in brothels and be frivolous, which is really outrageous. As the saying goes, the Taoist is not romantic and ruthless, the adults are in vain, the adults are in a position of high power, the spring breeze is proud, and occasionally seeking wine is a good thing. Who among these ministers has no need to put on the stove, and they are jealous of the adults' outstanding military achievements, and even use such despicable means. I wonder if the adults have a place to serve our family?"
Yang Ling smiled and thought to himself: It's not easy to impeach me based on this matter alone. I would say that I would have to give them some more persuasion materials in the past few days and ask them to sue for pleasure.
Yang Ling pondered for a moment and said, "You have just returned to Beijing and it will take some time to straighten out the affairs of the East Factory. Besides, the search for the Maitreya cult is neither letting go of the real cult person nor implicating the innocent. It is very difficult to repeat Gu Dayong's mistakes. This little thing is not a problem for the public."
He smiled and stood up and said, "I have made an appointment with Admiral Mou of Jinyiwei to meet the emperor, so I won't stay for long. Dai Gong is busy with business affairs. Yang will hold a banquet to welcome you in the evening."
Dai Yi quickly stood up and said, "I dare not work hard, I dare not work hard. Is he going to see the emperor with Admiral Mou?"
Yang Ling seemed to yawn inadvertently and said half-truely: "Yes, Eunuch Liu has been in charge of the Silijian, but now it is different. Admiral Mou offended Eunuch Liu because of some official business. Now the Jinyiwei is suppressed by the Silijian. Everyone is serving the Ming Dynasty and the emperor, so how can they attack each other and make trouble? I am going to protect Admiral Mou. As a family, it is better not to be hurt and be kind."
He walked to the door, looked at Dai Yi casually, and said in a joke: "Dai Gong is directly under the jurisdiction of the Lijian. Although you are a former subordinate of Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu is now promoted and has a long temper. You have to be careful when doing things. Don't let Admiral Miao offend Mr. Liu."
Dai Yi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized Yang Ling’s purpose: It turned out... Eunuch Liu and Lord Yang had already begun to have a rift!
Liu Jin and Yang Ling are both people he can't afford to offend. He is planning to prepare generous gifts tonight to visit these two adults. Now Yang Ling's comments clearly indicate that there is a disagreement between them, which depends on his attitude.
Which side should you stand on? In terms of power and status, these two people are almost equal. If you defect to Yang Ling? Liu Jin is in charge of Dongchang, he is his direct superior. If you offend him, you may have to struggle in the future. If you defect to Liu Jin? Yang Ling can kick Gu Dayong down and praise himself, can't he do it again? What's more, will Liu Jin treat himself as a confidant?
I can have all the advice of Lord Yang today, and repay kindness with grievances, and people are not ashamed of others. Besides, it seems that the Jinyiwei is standing with Lord Yang, and there is also Miao Kui in the West Factory, who is also very close to Lord Yang. Just Liu Jin can defeat Lord Yang? Lord Yang's big tree does not fall, and I am still afraid that I will not have a place to settle down?"
Thinking of this, Dai Yi looked up and bowed solemnly: "Thank you, sir, for reminding me, that our family has been away from the capital for a long time, and now that the personnel changes, many things are not clear. If you have any difficult things to resolve in the future, please give me some more suggestions. Thanks to our family and my life, I will entrust my life to you."
