A crime that could cost Qin Kan his life was shouldered by Zhu Houzhao. The ministers were dumbfounded, like a group of dogs seeing a huddled hedgehog, wanting to bite but unable to bite.
There were many dukes in the Ming Dynasty, and there were more than a dozen of them in Beijing. To bring down one or two, or to kill one or two, would not put any psychological pressure on the civil servants. What¡¯s more, this Ning Guo Gong was not only recognized as one who could be punished by everyone. He is a treacherous person, and he also ignores the rules of the game very unscrupulously.
The duke can be killed, but there is only one emperor. No matter how big a mistake you make, you can't put the emperor in a prison cell. Although the political structure of the Ming Dynasty is that the emperor is weak and the ministers are strong, it is not so lawless that ministers can replace the emperor at will. When the emperor is fatuous or inactive, the ministers can write a memorial to reprimand or curse, or even point at the emperor. It's okay to scold the emperor because they have the saint's words as weapons and moral standards, but the saint never taught them to change the emperor. All dynasties and generations are treasonous.
When the war of words has reached this point, it can be said that Zhu Houzhao and Qin Kan are playing rogue, but the rogue they are playing together is undoubtedly very simple and effective. There is a sentence in the "Book of Songs" that the scholars read since childhood. , "In the whole world, everything is the land of the king. On the shore of the land, is it the ministers of the king." As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, the literati predecessors had registered the emperor's property rights. Emperors of all dynasties did not even have to pay transfer fees, and the whole world It automatically belongs to him. This legal property owner who theoretically owns the entire country wants to build a few ships at home and go to sea to sell a few specialties to replenish his withered inner treasury. Who can do anything to him?
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT?? He even took the initiative to ask the Ancestral Temple to apologize. What else could the ministers do about this?
The ministers in the palace were as disgusted as if they had swallowed a fly alive. They felt that the fly had fallen down their throats and into their stomachs, wandering and fluttering among the internal organs. Still singing pleasant songs
Zhu Houzhao smiled happily. He didn't mind taking the blame. For him, right and wrong were secondary. As long as it could add some trouble to these ministers who were full of benevolence, justice and morality but in fact men were thieves and women were prostitutes, he was willing to take any blame.
"Well. Let's break up today's court meeting. I have done something wrong that violates the ancestral system. Now I have to rush to the Ancestral Temple to confess" Zhu Houzhao narrowed his eyes, like a cunning little fox, but his face was extremely sad. : "The monarch and his ministers are one body, and they govern the country together. I went to the Ancestral Temple to plead guilty. Do all of you who love me also"
The ministers¡¯ eyelids twitched a few times.
Yang Tinghe intercepted Zhu Houzhao's words in time and said in a deep voice: "Since building the ship and going to sea was your Majesty's doing, I have nothing to say. As for the Ancestral Temple to plead guilty, in my opinion, it's okay to exempt it"
The ministers breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of the factions in the DPRK, Zhongwen, Wu, Jingwei, etc., they all spoke in unison at this moment and expressed that they had exposed this.
This is another Coptis chinensis swallowed by a mute, who cannot express his pain.
Everyone can see the situation of today's imperial war. Qin Kan has the absolute upper hand. Even if Zhu Houzhao reflects on himself in the Ancestral Temple today, it will not be of any benefit to the civil servants. Besides, the civil servants do not suffer from amnesia. There is no such thing as the Ancestral Temple blaming themselves. It¡¯s not like Zhu Houzhao has never done it before. And he did it very unethically. The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty almost lost their skin when he and Qin Kan teamed up to punish them. Many of them went in vertically and came out horizontally. At the end, that old bastard Liu Jin threw poisonous gas at them. Extra meals
Thinking about the feeling that life would be worse than death, the ministers could not help but shudder. So at this moment, hundreds of ministers all realized their enlightenment like the Buddha under the Bodhi tree.
Even if His Majesty takes the blame for Qin Kan regarding the shipbuilding and going to sea, the inside story is obviously not as simple as it seems on the surface. Your Majesty is willing to take the blame. In addition to his relationship with Qin Kan, in all likelihood, the shipping industry is not as simple as it seems on the surface. His Majesty is really involved in the matter. The emperor supported Qin Kan, that evil beast, and supported him so blatantly. There is no way to change Qin Kan's joining the Maritime Transport. If he is really pushed into a hurry, he only needs to give an order to the Jinyi Guards to strictly guard the coast. , severely suppressed private ships, and punished illegal maritime merchants, everyone's way of making money was truly cut off.
There were many voices in the palace opposing the Taimiao sinner, and they were sincere from the bottom of their hearts. However, Zhu Houzhao smacked his lips with regret and asked unwillingly: "You really don't want me to go to the Taimiao to sinner? I made a big mistake this time ¡¡±
"No need, Your Majesty. Since last year, there has been a backlog of state affairs in the court. If Your Majesty is really serious, it would be more meaningful to review more memorials than to blame yourself in the Ancestral Temple." Yang Tinghe categorically fought for the welfare of the courtiers, eliminated the troubles, and filled the palace. The minister immediately cast a grateful look at Yang Tinghe.
The general situation is such that it is futile. Looking at Qin Kanyun's calm appearance, Liang Chu sighed dejectedly and returned to the court in silence. He knew that he could not defeat Qin Kan today. This guy was obviously not a short-lived person. Thin appearance.
The monarch and his ministers were humble to each other for a while. Zhu Houzhao looked around with unfinished thoughts. The eunuch on duty was very discerning and raised the dust in his hand. Just when he was about to announce that all the officials were retiring from the court, there were hurried footsteps outside the palace.
"Tianjin Prefecture's eight hundred miles urgent report¡ª¡ª"
Zhu Houzhao and the ministers in the palace were stunned for a moment. Qin Kan, who was originally with the old god, did not look right and looked worried.
"Xuan."
Naturally, the sergeant who reported the message was not qualified to enter the Jinluan Palace. A Han general knelt down outside the palace door holding the military report, and said in a deep voice: "General of the Liaodong Capital Division, Yang Dequan, the admiral of the Tianjin Navy, wishes our emperor long live. In the fourth year of Zhengde's reign, On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the Tianjin Navy went to sea, and Chen Yang Dequan led eight new ships to test the water for the first time. Two days after leaving the port, a thick fog appeared on the sea, making it difficult to see even five fingers. The thick fog remained for three days, and the Navy lost its way and supplies. Gradually, the thick fog cleared three days later, but the naval fleet inadvertently drifted to the waters of Nagasaki, Japan. I originally intended to dock at the port to replenish supplies and then return, but unexpectedly, Japan's Nagasaki actually sent hundreds of large and small ships and brazenly attacked us. The division took the lead in launching an artillery attack. Since Japan was a country that we did not conquer during the Ming Dynasty, I ordered the navy to make concessions for safety. However, the Japanese ships approached step by step and wanted to kill our navy. I had no choice but to order a counterattack. This battle is also , hundreds of Japanese ships were completely wiped out, most of our Ming Dynasty navy was undamaged, and more than 300 navy officers and soldiers were injured"
Before the Han general finished reading, the monarchs and ministers in the palace took a deep breath. The expressions are different and extremely exciting.
After a long period of silence, a roar came from the hall.
"YangYang Dequan is so bold! The crime should be to destroy the nine tribes!" Liang Chu came out of work again and shouted sternly.
"What Mr. Liang said is exactly what he said. He violated the laws of our ancestors of the Ming Dynasty and secretly started a war with a country that was not conquered. This crime cannot be forgiven!"
"Your Majesty, please issue an order to punish Yang Dequan as soon as possible, so as to warn the generals in the world to follow suit!"
The echoes echoed endlessly in the hall, but the faces of Qin Kan and Zhu Houzhao were extremely ugly. It was finally calm, but they did not expect that Yang Dequan's military report would once again involve him in the storm.
In the morning class, Yang Tinghe saw that Qin Kan looked ugly. With a thought in his heart, Yang Tinghe stood up when the whole hall was noisy, and said solemnly to the Han general outside the hall: "This military report has a beginning and an end. Did you not finish reading it?"
Seeing that the people in the palace were angry and nervous, the Han general heard this and said hurriedly: "Return to the words of Grand Scholar Yang. It is true that the military report has not it has not been finished."
Yang Tinghe said in a deep voice: "Keep reading!"
The hall was silent for a moment, and the Han general continued to read: " After all the Japanese ships were wiped out, a small boat came from the direction of Nagasaki Port. Because our navy destroyed hundreds of Japanese ships, Japan was shocked, and the daimyo of Nagasaki Port sent an envoy. Surrendered to our navy, handed over the military and political power of Nagasaki, and respectfully invited our Ming army to station in Nagasaki. I refused in every possible way. After two days of stalemate, Emperor Kashiwahara, the lord of Japan, was named the Hosokawa clan and the Ouchi clan. They all sent envoys to Nagasaki, willing to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty. The envoys from the three parties have now arrived in Tianjin on our naval warships, carrying some Japanese tribute gifts to the capital. I am humble and humble, and I dare not be expert. Please ask Your Majesty and the court It¡¯s up to the great lords to decide.¡±
After the Han general finished reciting, he saw that there was silence in the hall, and the ministers stood still as if they had been restrained. He couldn't help but cautiously said: "The Tianjin Army Announcementfinished reciting."
There was still silence. Even Qin Kan stood in the hall speechless for a long time. The rest of the ministers buzzed as if their heads had been hit by the bronze bell in the temple, and they could not recover for a long time.
The military report was very messy, and the text was mixed with incomplete sentences, but everyone understood the general meaning. In short, this guy Yang Dequan led the Ming Dynasty fleet to Nagasaki, Japan, and was killed by the Japanese war. The ship was provocative, and they couldn't bear it and sank hundreds of Japanese warships. So Japan, a soft persimmon, was frightened and thought that the military of the Ming Dynasty was going to attack Japan. In addition, it had seen the powerful guns of the Ming Dynasty ships. , unstoppable, with a sudden change of heart and weak legs, Nagasaki Port surrendered to the Ming Dynasty Navy.
In other words, Yang Dequan led eight giant ships and conquered a Japanese city in a daze. The emperor of Japan and the two most powerful daimyo were also frightened, so they sent envoys to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty. After the Civil War, Japan was cut off The tribute that had been paid for nearly a century was restored this time after being bombarded by Yang Dequan's cannons, and it was they themselves who asked for the restoration with a shameless face
Zhu Houzhao was stunned, and all the ministers in the palace were stunned. If you put this military report in other words, it can be called a victory report, and it is a rare victory report after the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. Although it was a country that was not conquered, it was After being beaten to the ground, he had no temper at all. Instead, he shamelessly collected tribute gifts and went to Beijing to pay homage to Tian Yan, completely surrendering to the feet of the Emperor of Heaven
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Excuse, people have already humbly come to Beijing to worship, what reason do you use to punish Yang Dequan?
After a long silence, Zhu Houzhao came to his senses first. The muscles on his face kept twitching as if he had had a stroke. His expression was complicated and weird. He didn't know whether he wanted to cry or laugh. After glancing at Qin Kan intentionally or unintentionally, Zhu Houzhao understood clearly. His voice was mixed with a few tremors of excitement, and he said: "This this Yang Dequan is too silly"
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao carefully looked at the reactions of His Highness's ministers, but the ministers continued to be in a state of sluggishness to save face. Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed and hurriedly increased his tone and said: "Well, he is so ridiculous! We must issue an order to make him shut up and think about his mistakes!" "
The word "nonsense" can be regarded as setting the tone for this matter, as light as scratching an itch.
When the ministers reacted and wanted to refute, Zhu Houzhao changed the topic: "It's getting late today, so let's retreat first. The two cabinet ministers and the chief ceremonial officer Zhang Yong, um and Ning Guogong Qin Kan, You guys come to the imperial study immediately to discuss the matter of Japan¡¯s tribute and bring out the regulations.¡±
After saying that, Zhu Houzhao stood up as if he was reincarnated, swayed from behind the dragon chair, and then disappeared into the back hall. The eunuch on duty hurriedly raised the dust and said in a high voice, "All officials withdraw from the court." , and then Pi Dianpian ran into the Jinshen Palace behind to serve the Emperor to change clothes. While the ministers in the palace were still stunned, a loud laughter like a howling wolf suddenly came from the back of the palace: "Wahahahahahaha"
