Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Surrounded and nourished by beauties, Mr. Hu lived a very comfortable life.

But on the other side of the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang and his fat son frowned and studied hard at a pile of test papers.

That's right, the two of them are reading the test papers right now.

In recent days, Zhu Yuanzhang has been thinking about the forbidden sea.

But after much deliberation, no matter how I did it, I felt it was not appropriate.

So, he unceremoniously pulled his fat son over.

The father and son got together to discuss one issue: Should the sea ban be abolished? !

This matter was due to Mr. Hu’s suggestion, and a lot of test papers were obtained based on this topic.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang did not let other courtiers participate in discussing the matter.

I just took my fat son and started discussing it.

In his opinion, this was a matter involving the ancestral precepts and family laws of his old Zhu family. Why would other ministers get involved?

Hold on until you’re full!

The test papers in front of me are the ones that have something to say in this palace examination.

Regardless of whether they support or oppose the ban on sea, at least the remarks in these papers are not empty talk.

They gave their own analysis and reasons.

Even if these things seem a little superficial, even a little taken for granted, they will be somewhat different from the actual situation of the court.

But at least there is no problem with the thinking.

There are even some places that really made Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao and his son feel their eyes light up.

At least Zhu Biao admired some of the papers in it.

"Father, look at this. The reason this man said is almost half the same as what Mr. Hu said!"

"Not to mention anything else, just because of this, Erchen plans to let him do something under Erchen in the future!"

"If he can really have half the ability of Mr. Hu, he will make a lot of money!"

Zhu Yuanzhang insulted his fat son, looked at the paper, and said angrily.

"What are you thinking!"

"This person looks at the problem in the same direction as Weiyong, but his depth is not even 30%!"

"Direction and breadth determine vision, but depth determines ability!"

"This kind of person, do you think he has half the abilities of mediocrity?"

"Let's practice for ten years before talking!"

Zhu Biao laughed bitterly when he heard this. Looking at the paper again, it seemed a lot duller.

Apparently, he also reacted.

It is indeed a bit fanciful to easily find someone among the new scholars who can compete with top courtiers like Hu Weiyong.

Instead of thinking about whether these things exist or not, it is better to think about the sea ban first.

"Father, in my opinion, it would be better to abolish this ban on the sea!"

"If you write down the ban on the sea in the records of the Ming Dynasty, then future generations will have a headache even if they open the sea first."

"After all, no matter what the situation will be at that time, once we open the sea, it will be against the teachings of our ancestors!"

"On the contrary, if the sea ban is lifted at this time, this article will no longer be included in the Huang Ming Records. If future generations still want to ban the sea, they can do so."

"But if there is no need to ban the sea, there is no need to worry about this matter!"

Zhu Biao's words are obviously from the perspective of a future successor of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, he was really troubled by this Huang Ming Chronicle.

He actually agreed with some of the terms, but he was a bit insensitive to some of the prohibited items.

To put it bluntly, I am very happy to be banned now, but if the ban is lifted by then, the trouble will be extremely big!

What a coincidence, Zhu Biao is the next Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

These problems may be what he will encounter by then!

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a long time after hearing Zhu Biao's words.

He stared blankly at the palace door in the distance and didn't speak for a long time.

So confused!

When he originally revised the Records of the Emperor Ming Dynasty, he wanted to let future generations know the achievements of his ancestor.

But more importantly, I still want to write down all the governing ideas in my heart, as well as some advice to future generations.

To put it bluntly, this is just the behavior of traditional parents who want to leave the best to their descendants.

Maybe he is stubborn, withdrawn, and stubborn, but his heart is indeed good.

But now it seems that this kind of behavior has become a prison for future generations?

Thinking about it, it’s a bit sad!

However, Zhu Yuanzhang is not the kind of sentimental person.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who has been through mountains of swords and seas of fire, does not have the cells to be sad for spring and sad for autumn.

He just sighed for a moment and then put it aside.

After he looked at the complete picture of Kanyu of the Ming Dynasty that he had put aside again, he said in a deep voice.

"Biao'er, what we mean is, you can't do anything left or right."

"We can't go from one extreme to the other!"

"Opening the sea is certainly beneficial, but we also have to guard against pirates!"

"What's more, the opening of the sea doesn't just mean that we make a decree."

"Yamen, manpower, money and provisions, regulations, these all need to be carefully considered!"

"Therefore, we might as well open up some ports first, test the effect and train manpower at the same time!"

"But in places where pirates can easily land, we still cannot let go of the forbidden sea. Instead, we must strictly guard against it!"

"How can we, the people of the Ming Dynasty, allow those foreign tribes to slaughter wantonly?!"

Zhu Biao nodded heavily upon hearing this.

Obviously, Dad's policy was close to his heart.

In fact, he originally wanted to persuade his father to stop being so open and happy about everything.

His father's temper was much more impatient than his!

Now that Dad has figured it out himself, that’s even better.

After the father and son made a plan, things naturally settled down.

Therefore, at the court meeting the next day, Zhu Yuanzhang announced his resolution on the spot without hesitation.

But when these words fell in Li Shanchang's ears, he was frightened.

What went wrong? !

He is the prime minister of the dynasty!

The leader of hundreds of officials below one person and above ten thousand people!

It is the job of the superior king to govern his subjects!

But now Zhu Yuanzhang's policies and laws have been promulgated, but he didn't even discuss it with Zhu Yuanzhang before, he didn't even hear any news.

This is no longer just a matter of embarrassment or not.

Isn't this so fucking creepy? !

Is this Zhu Yuanzhang's test of prime minister power?

Or are you dissatisfied with Li Shanchang?

Or perhaps, Zhu Yuanzhang had other plans that he didn't want him to know about?

No matter what, Li Shanchang could not remain indifferent.

Therefore, Li Shanchang decided to find a sense of presence in this matter of opening the sea.

He jumped out without hesitation, and among the stunned courtiers, he bluntly opposed Zhu Yuanzhang's decree to abolish some port bans.

In other words, Li Shanchang actually planned to confront Zhu Yuanzhang directly!
