    Yang Ling leaned on the bed, Gao Wenxin sat by the bed, and wiped his face carelessly with a hot towel. After all, he just took a shower, his face was pale and rosy, and his complexion was very good. How do you look at it?  It didn't look like he was dying, so he had to pretend that he had just washed his face with a hot towel.

    Jiao Fang sat at the table, twirling her beard calmly, her smile was very kind, if not for the occasional smirk.  This dear man is 71 years old, but he is not deaf or blind, and he is in good health, with white hair and beard and a good-looking appearance.

    On the way back to Beijing, Yang Ling was thinking about the candidate for the cabinet bachelor, and also considered this civil servant who had a relatively good relationship with him.  This Jiao Shilang Tianshun became a Jinshi in the eighth year. He has successively served as a scholar, editor, lecturer, and bachelor.  The right servant is now the left servant of the Ministry of officials.

    It can be said that he has gone through both technical titles and administrative positions from low to high, and his political experience and qualifications are the top choices.  Today's three Grand Scholars entered the cabinet with smaller official positions than him, and he is considered one of those who are qualified to be promoted to Grand Scholars.

    Moreover, Yang Ling helped him. When Yang Ling was imprisoned due to the Emperor Tomb case, he also spoke well of Yang Ling, so Yang Ling had a good impression of him and listed him as a possible candidate, so he asked Wu Jie to investigate him secretly.  Unexpectedly, he has not decided whether to contact him or not, but he came to the door first.

    Yang Ling waved his hand weakly, and said, "Wen Xin, you should step back first, I want to talk to Lord Jiao."

    Gao Wenxin saw the deadly character he was pretending, and couldn't help giving him a coquettish look, then stood up gracefully, and said coquettishly: "Yes, the master is weak, don't be too tired, the servant girl will leave."

    As he spoke, he took two steps back, saluted Jiao Fang, and then quietly retreated out, closing the door behind him.

    Jiao Fang took a sip of tea leisurely, twirled her beard and said: "I heard that your lord was plotted against on the way back to Beijing, and he was seriously injured. When I saw you today, I couldn't get up. After hearing about it in the official department, I was very worried.  I couldn't sit still, so I hurriedly asked for leave, and brought three thousand-year-old ginseng to visit."

    Yang Ling couldn't figure out his real reason for coming, so he pretended to agree: "I'm sorry to bother you, my lord, some flesh and blood injuries, it's okay."

    Jiao Fang sniffed her nose suddenly, and said meaningfully: "Well, now that I see you, you look good, so I'm relieved."

    Seeing his movements, Yang Ling thought to himself: "It's broken. If you put gold sore medicine on your body, how can it be tasteless? This old man is quite shrewd."  Deeply grateful."

    Jiao Fang sighed and said: "Your Excellency is the pillar of the country. Now Li Daxue is the only one left in the imperial court. People's hearts are fluctuating. At this time, adults are needed to turn the tide and calm people's hearts, so I sincerely hope that Your Excellency will recover soon."

    Yang Ling smiled, took a sip of tea from a few stools beside the couch, and took the opportunity of lowering his head to drink tea, thinking to himself: With the seniority and official position of Mr. Jiao, he came to visit him at this time, and he said so flatteringly  , which was obviously intentional.

    However, under the guise of being injured, I withdrew from this storm circle to protect myself wisely. This old guy can actually see it. It's terrifyingly shrewd. Will this person become my political ally?

    Thinking thoughtfully, he drank the cup of tea in one gulp, raised his head and was about to put the teacup back on the plate, when Jiao Fang came forward, took the teacup with both hands, and poured another cup of tea for him  , and gently pushed in front of him.

    Seeing the respectful attitude of this gray-haired third-rank official, Yang Ling had already made up his mind. He thought for a while, and said with a deep smile: "My lord is too famous. The speed at which Yang became an official is staggering, but he has been  All of them go sideways, and have never participated in any major court affairs. In terms of knowledge and experience, they are inferior to you, my lord, and even worse than many courtiers."

    He pondered for a while, and said slowly: "The emperor loves you. Of course, the courtiers want to share the emperor's worries. During this southern tax tour, Yang has some ideas in his heart, but I don't know if it is superficial and ridiculous, so I don't care about it.  Dare to speak to the emperor, since my lord is here, I just want to ask for advice, how about asking your lord to deliberate on it for you?"

    Jiao Fang raised her white eyebrows, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Yang Ling's words meant that he accepted him intentionally. This man spoke his mind before the emperor, and now the eunuchs who hold the power of the inner court will obey him, as long as he is willing to support him.  , do you still need to be angry with people like Ma Wensheng?

    But this person in front of me is young, he packed up the guarding eunuchs during his southern tour, and returned to Beijing to quell the attacks of internal and external ministers.  what?

    &n?, there must be a strong navy, a huge navy is like a country on the sea, what should I do if the tail is too big?

    Therefore, with the courage and boldness of Emperor Yongle, he also insisted on commanding the fleet with eunuchs. If eunuchs have no descendants, they will not have the heart to crack the ground, and it is difficult to establish absolute authority among the soldiers. It is only safe to use them, but civil servants are not at ease with them."

    He took a sip of tea and said: "The third reason is my original opinion. Confucian scholars in the country pay attention to 'parents don't travel far away' and 'only villains value profits'. Businessmen are at the end of the road, and it is of little use to the national economy and the people's livelihood.  They also think that the Celestial Empire is in the middle of the land, and foreign barbarians are not good enough, so it is impossible to refuse to do business, and it is because they don¡¯t want to.¡±

    "The fourth reason" Cheng Qiyun was surprised: "What, there is another reason?"

    Yang Ling laughed dryly: "The last one, the last one, this reason, even I never thought of it beforehand."

    He thought for a while and said: "Overseas trade, the benefits are so mouth-watering, and the people are more or less secretly smuggling for profit. Although Zheng He's voyages to the West have extensive trade, um Monopoly understand? It means that the interests are concentrated in the court.  .

    The gentry officials in coastal cities, large and small, were incapable of competing with the huge fleet of the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, they found various reasons for their various relationships as officials in the court.

    ?The land of the coastal officials and gentry was poor, and they all started by doing business and shipping. Since the sea ban, in fact, it has been banned.  You don¡¯t even have to pay taxes, and you can make more profits. That¡¯s why the Japanese pirates are making a fuss. They are more excited than anyone else, clamoring to suppress the Japanese and fight against the Japanese.  They will turn a blind eye and close their eyes to hold back the court, and the sea ban has become a means for them to profit for the family."

    Cheng Qiyun was also stunned when she heard it, she thought for a while, took out a piece of white letter paper, took the wolf pen on the shelf, opened the inkstone box and dipped it, hung her wrist to write four lines of characters, and put the four  The reason was briefly memorized, and then he frowned and pondered.

    While talking about the four reasons, Yang Ling thought about the corresponding countermeasures. He had some plans in his mind. After thinking about it for a while, since the officials in the court and the central government have such divisions and each has their own plans, if the actions are appropriate, it will be better than persuading a group of ideas.  It seems a bit easier for officials who are completely obsessed with the old-fashioned, and I can't help but feel relieved.

    He had some ideas in his heart, and he couldn't help being very happy. He turned his eyes and saw Cheng Qiyun's attentive appearance, and couldn't help smiling. Cheng Qiyun was frowning and thinking, when she heard a soft laugh, she raised her head and said in amazement: "What are you laughing at, sir?"  ?¡±

    Yang Ling smiled and said, "I see you as if you are taking an exam, hehe, do you still have to accept or break the exam?"

    Cheng Qiyun rolled her eyes, and said with a smile: "Yes, if you come out of the examination as the number one scholar, you will enter the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister, and it will be better to serve you."

    Yang Ling snorted and said, "I'm afraid that Miss Cheng will really become the prime minister, and Yang won't be seen by you."

    It was rare for Cheng Qiyun to see him joking with herself, she couldn't help being very happy, she just wanted to blurt out: "If I want to do it, I will be the emperor, and I will bring you into my harem as a queen, to see if you still dare to despise my existence"  When he came to his lips, he felt that these words were too outrageous. Yang Ling was a member of the imperial court, so he might be annoyed after hearing these words, so he shut his mouth quietly.

    Seeing that she hesitated to speak, Yang Ling asked, "What? What do you want to say?"

    Cheng Qiyun smiled and said: "My lord, since you don't think about victory in everything, you think about defeat first. Now that you know the reasons for the forbidden sea are complicated, you still have the heart to joke, but do you have a plan?"

    Yang Ling smiled happily and said: "Haha, Bingxue is really smart, let me tell you the truth, if the officials in the court are really a bunch of rotten scholars who only know how to stick to the teachings of the saints, Yang is really helpless, how can I speak to them?

    I'm afraid that when I vomit blood, they still think I'm lying to the public.  Since most of them are profit-oriented, whether it is for the benefit of the court or the family, it is not monolithic."

    Cheng Qiyun's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to say: "What's the master plan?"

    Yang Ling straightened up, turned around, Shi Shiran walked out, and said, "I just got home today, and I'm going to taste my own food, Miss Cheng please. As for the countermeasures? I still need to find some people,  Let¡¯s discuss it together then.¡±

    Cheng Qiyun was very angry, and looked at his back and said angrily: "What's the air? Wait until I come up with an idea, and see if I still tell you."

    As soon as she said it, she suddenly felt a heat on her cheeks: "In the past, I used to pretend to make people happy when I was mildly angry. What's the matter now? Why is it that I am becoming more and more impatient in front of him?"
