The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Emperor Hongzhi stared at Zhu Houzhao for a long time, but was speechless.

He is the emperor of the dynasty. Could it be possible that he still wants to ask the prince how to decide on opening up the sea?

If asked, this scoundrel would definitely scold him and teach him how to be an emperor.

"Father, are you worried about the establishment of a sea ban in the northwest?"

Seeing that his father called his name but didn't speak, Zhu Houzhao blinked and probed.

Emperor Hongzhi was full of surprise: "How do you know?"

"I heard what Liu Banpan said, since it is Lao Gao who advises me, and my father agrees, why bother to think about it?

Ruoerchen..." Zhu Houzhao looked at Emperor Hongzhi and did not dare to say the second half of his words.

Emperor Hongzhi knew that the second half of what this scoundrel said must be treasonous.

He looked directly at Zhu Houzhao and said coldly: "Why don't you say anything?"

"If the father forgives his son and his ministers, he will say so." Zhu Houzhao insisted.

Emperor Hongzhi snorted coldly and said, "Then there's no need to say it."

Zhu Houzhao choked. Normally, his father would say, "Just tell me first and I will make a decision."

Although he would beat him up afterwards, my father didn't even bother to say this now.

This made him want to speak out.

So, he looked at Emperor Hongzhi pitifully and said: "If you, my son, should handle this matter, just listen to Lao Gao. What can the ancestral system do?"

Emperor Hongzhi was so angry that he laughed and snorted: "Do you know how chaotic the countries in the Western Regions are.

How much would it cost to build new inns and checkpoints all the way from Chang'an to the west? It's a pity that I just praised you for saving money. "

Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "The money you spend can be earned back at Chaoguan. There are millions of refugees in the northwest. Just let them repair Chaoguan and the inn."

After the Great Wall is built, the refugees will settle in the northwest. But the dry land in the northwest is covered with wind and sand all year round. What can they grow?

If the Silk Road is opened, they can do small business like the refugees in Liangxiang, selling cloth shoes, tea, and steamed buns.

The father is too pedantic, so he only cares about the ancestral system, but his sons and ministers don't care. "

Liu Jin was so frightened that he was sweating profusely. His Highness got drunk as he spoke.

After thinking about it, I felt relieved, even the dog emperor dared to scold him.

To say that His Majesty is pedantic is like saying that the weather is really nice today, without any pressure.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but feel angry, but he always felt that something was missing.

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Zhu Houzhao said abruptly: "My son, I just said what I thought."

Perhaps because I felt that what this scoundrel said was somewhat reasonable, I couldn't do it for a while.

"Did you come up with this?"

With such a simple truth, Zhu Houzhao felt that he had been underestimated by his father again, and he raised his little finger angrily: "I will understand after you think about it with this finger."

Xiao Jing saw that His Majesty's hand holding the whip was trembling crazily, and his face was like a thunderous dark cloud.

He closed his eyes slightly and looked away.

After a while, an extremely rhythmic sound sounded in the hall, making this winter feel a little warmer.

The little eunuch sweeping the floor looked up and continued to sweep the snow.

…

Li Mansion,

Li Dongyang was having a drink in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. There was a distinguished man sitting next to him. The fire was burning brightly, and sparks and foam jumped out.

"Your Majesty is worried about the Silk Road in the northwest, so he will not summon you in the next few days."

Yang Yiqing frowned: "Who is so bold as to dare to advise us to open the sea?"

Li Dongyang's face twitched slightly, and he sighed: "You guessed wrong. This person is very timid and will shirk the responsibility when something happens."

"There...are there such people in the world?" Yang Yiqing was full of disbelief.

Li Dongyang nodded and said: "He is Brother Yu's student. If you go to court, you can meet him."

At the end of last year, Emperor Hongzhi issued an order to let Yang Yiqing, the minister of Taichang Temple in Nanjing, supervise Shaanxi Ma Zheng.

After the Law of the Strong was implemented in Taipus Temple, many infertile mares became pregnant.

Horse pastures have grown to more than 153,770 hectares.

As the New Year approached, he rushed back from Shaanxi to report the good news to Emperor Hongzhi.

"Now that there are enough war horses, we don't even need tea and horse trading. Why are we still imposing a sea ban? Who is this person?

Tonight, Yudi wrote an impeachment memorial and sent it to the palace. "Yang Yiqing said angrily.

Li Dongyang shook his head and said: "This son's impeachment memorial is extremely powerful. Brother Yang, it is better not to play it, so as not to hurt yourself."

Yang Yiqing's face froze for a moment. This boy was Brother Li's student, so he couldn't open his mouth because of his protection.

After thinking about it clearly, he stopped asking.

After two glasses of wine, I returned to my house.

Yang Yiqing has some good friends in the capital, and it is not difficult to find out who has recently been admonishing the people who opened the Silk Road.

However, this guy is just a junior censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

How dare you advise us to open the sea?

Yang Yiqing snorted. He had been away from the capital for so long that even Li Dongyang had forgotten how good he was at writing impeachment memorials, right?

However, he has always been cautious in writing impeachment notices.

Before writing, you must first collect information, then open the Ming Dynasty Rules and make the right decisions.

When he found Yan Chengjin's information from various channels, he was a little surprised.

This boy named Yan Chengjin, with only two years of official service, was promoted from Hanyuan to the right-hand censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Just one grade lower than him.

The most important thing is that this man impeached many ministers without losing any of them.

Then he became eager to win and decided to do justice for heaven and impeach this person.

He pondered for a long time and finally wrote the first word on the paper.

…………

Outside Dongnuan Pavilion,

Ministers came early in the morning to grab seats and kneel in front so that His Majesty could see their faces.

If the Zhongshu official is written into the book, he can also be known as a minister of remonstrance.

Zou Jun was dressed very thickly, and kneeling on thick cotton pants for a long time would not hurt.

The three Hanyuan remonstrants and others also came, and more than a dozen people knelt outside the warm room.

"Are you here too early? His Majesty hasn't come yet."

"This is the only way to show our determination!"

"Brother Liu is right, the Silk Road in the northwest must not be opened!"

Several people whispered to each other, and before Emperor Hongzhi came, they would unify their words.

Qianqing Palace,

Hearing that more than a dozen civil servants knelt in front of the warm room, Emperor Hongzhi was a little displeased: "I haven't made a decision yet, why are they kneeling?"

"I don't know, I just heard them say... It's better to kneel early than late." Xiao Jing said.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't care: "Notify all officials that today's morning court will be changed to Fengtian Hall. I want to see how long they will kneel."

This is threatening the emperor with the ancestral system.

Xiao Jing hurried to announce the decree in person.

A moment later,

the ministers filed into the Fengtian Hall, shivering slightly from the cold, as there was no heating in the hall.

Emperor Hongzhi was sitting in the hall, and said, "Which minister has something to report?"

There were fewer ministers in the hall.

They must have gone to kneel in the East Warm Pavilion. Yan Chengjin saw that Emperor Hongzhi seemed to be in a bad mood.

Those ministers were afraid of bad luck.

Li Dongyang saw that no one was talking, so he stepped forward: "Your Majesty, Yang Yiqing is back."

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes lit up, and he nodded and said, "Let him in."

Suddenly, the eunuch ran out to invite him.

Yang Yiqing strode into the hall: "Your Majesty, I am fortunate to have fulfilled my mission. The number of war horses in the Yuanma Temple has increased to more than 7,000!"

The horses in the Yuanma Temple were reported to be only more than 4,000 at the beginning, and it has only been a year.

There are more than 3,000 more horses!

If this continues, this year will definitely exceed 10,000.

Emperor Hongzhi showed a long-lost look of joy on his face, and said: "Good! Sending you to supervise the horse administration is indeed a wise move."

"Your Majesty, now the number of war horses is increasing, and there is no need to exchange tea for war horses." Yang Yiqing said: "Opening the Silk Road in the northwest, a large number of foreign merchants and horse thieves will pour in, and I am afraid that the pasture will be difficult to maintain."

The ministers' eyes lit up again when the Silk Road was mentioned.

Before Emperor Hongzhi could speak, Yang Yiqing handed over a memorial and said: "I want to impeach Yan Chengjin, the censor of the Censorate!"

There was an uproar in the hall.

Yan Chengjin was also slightly surprised. Yang Yiqing, Li Dongyang and Liu Daxia were all called the three heroes of Chu.

The most important thing is that this person is very good at writing impeachment memorials.

In history, the memorial that impeached Liu Jin was written by him.

Last night, it was harder to think of the chapter title than the plot...
