How does the cabinet vote?”
Listened to the description of Huang Jin, Jiajing Emperor closed his eyes for a moment, from his face can not see Jiajing Emperor has any emotions, indistinctly as unusual asked a question.
“Report to the emperor, the cabinet has different opinions, differences seconded in the following. One said that the sea ban is the ancestral system, can not be violated, fishing and woodcutting can be inland lakes and rivers, piece of sail shall not enter the sea, not to mention the scourge of the Japanese pirates in the market, so the system of the sea ban, 10,000 shall not be wide.
Another said: the rise of the Japanese, not because of the strike of the market, because Fujian and Zhejiang people down to the sea through the tomatoes to gain profit, gathered the abundance of people, and then start a mad plot. In previous years, only in the coastal aggression, since the strike of the market is everywhere in depth. According to reports, the number of real Japan is less than a thousand, are all Zhang Wen near the sea thieves gang guide, as the northern captives I also guide the rebellion. If the wide sea ban, the coastal residents can be in the city of overseas trade, the past “sea pirates” can also be turned to sea merchants, no longer chaotic, the state treasury can also be several times more plentiful. It is true that among the Japanese there are people dedicated to the bandits, such will not be tolerated, but also with the sword to impose the wrath of thunder.”
Cabinet’s opinion is not unanimous, this is not the first time, the past practice of the Cabinet’s opinion is not unanimous, then all the opinions will be listed to the back, and finally by the Jiajing Emperor again decided.
“But in what opinion?”Jiajing Emperor listened and then asked.
But in is Yan Song’s word, Jiajing Emperor with Yan Song’s word instead of Yan Song, indicating that Yan Song in Jiajing Emperor’s heart is still very weighty. At this time, Yan Song and Jiajing Emperor are still in the honeymoon period, the relationship between the ruler and the minister is still cordial.
In the eyes of the Jiajing Emperor, the loyal and diligent Minda, timid and cautious Yan Song can be more obedient than the previous motionless table blowing beard character tough Zhang Zong, Xia Yan, so obedient, able to do, willing to do the work of the slave is their own need for a good slave.
“Report to Your Majesty, Yan Pavilion elder said: strict sea ban is reasonable, wide sea ban is also good, I head messy as hemp, in this straight and narrow please Your Majesty to decide.”Huang Jin read out Yan Song’s opinion word by word.
“Oh, this old thing, slippery ……” Jiajing Emperor laughed and scolded.
This is Yan Song’s style, Yan Song is a timid and cautious person, in this kind of things that draw fire. Yan Song’s timid attributes are exposed, he two opinions are not offended, also do not know face to face support, but will be things shirked to Jiajing Emperor. Of course, he shirked up is also very tactical, said my head is messy as hemp, Jiajing emperor you wise, or you to decide it. That is, shirked the responsibility and without a trace patted the holy fart.
This is also Yan Song’s ability to figure out how to grasp the Jiajing Emperor’s preferences. Shirk the responsibility will not let the big leader angry.
“Yellow companion, with the cabinet cabinet ministers, the Ministry of mandarins, the Ministry of households, the Ministry of rites, the Ministry of war, the Ministry of industry and the left and right ministers …… into the hall of the court to the right.”Jiajing Emperor pondered for a moment, then asked Huang Jin to send someone to notify the above people to enter the hall to face each other.
“As you wish.”Huang Jin saluted, then got up to command the small yellow door to send people to notify the above ministers to enter the temple.
The matter of whether the sea ban is lenient or not has been discussed in the court for several years, and there has been no conclusion, looking at Emperor Jiajing, it seems that he wants to solve this problem on this day.
Soon, there are several small yellow door holding Buddha dust hurriedly from the West Garden to the outside.
Not long, there are one after another from the various government offices into the West Garden, the small yellow door led to a hall to wait.
After the bigwigs gathered in the hall. Hidden divided into two factions, one faction to the Ministry of Minister Li Mo as the leader, the other faction is naturally Yan Song father and son as the leader. In addition there is a more interesting thing is, I do not know when Xu step has and Yan Shifan fight hot, the two people in the hall whispering and laughing.
Li Mo look to the eyes of the Xu step is quite disdainful, at first thought that the Xu step can stand with their own team, combined two people’s strength against Yan Song, but also almost can be divided equally with Yan Song, and even try to one or two words, the pressure over the Yan Song is also a very optimistic thing. But did not expect. Xu step the eggless goon, even went to flatter Yan Song.
The most disgraceful thing is that Yan Shifan some time ago married a new concubine, Xu step even disregard his identity of the Ministry of Rites rushed to send a gift. He also licked his face and said that Yan Shifan is only two years old, the youngest son of the talented and extraordinary, and intends to betroth his little granddaughter to Yan Shifan’s youngest son. When Yan Shifan said that his two-year-old son has been betrothed to a doll, Xu Shi this shameless even said that his little granddaughter will be a concubine …….
I was blind and thought that Xu Shi was a backbone, but I didn’t realise that he was a feckless, sycophantic wimp!
And also f*cking kneeling licking!
It is really old and shameless!
Li Mo glanced at Xu Shi and gave a cold snort. He stood tall with his head held high in the forefront of his faction, his back was straight, and the old man could not straighten his back Yan Song formed a stark contrast.
In the small yellow door to the Jiajing emperor reported that the ministers to all, Jiajing emperor will still be the gang of ministers hung out to dry for a long time, do not change not busy meditation run a number of weeks of days, before slowly collect power, drink a cup of tea, Fang not in a hurry to go to the hall.
Tame this bunch of ministers will have to have to boil with the eagle like ……
This is the style of Emperor Jiajing, a self-taught psychology master class.
“I pay my respects to Your Majesty, long live the Emperor, long live, ten thousand years old.”Waiting for the dry mouth of the ministers to see the belated Jiajing Emperor, busy kneeling to see, but also tired.
“Yellow companion, pass to see the zhengbiao.”Jiajing Emperor after sitting high to the dragon chair, looked at the following essence of the ministers of low satisfaction nodded, instructed Huang Jin to pass to see the zhang folders.
Huang Jin has long been the zhangzuo copy several copies, heard Jiajing emperor command, will walk down the platform will be in the hands of the zhangzuo distributed to the ministers waiting in the temple.
Ministers to the hand of the folding is the seal of Zhejiang Royal Historian Dong Wei submitted a request for wide sea ban, so that the fishing and woodcutting, Yu Guo class of the zhangzuo.
This folding has long been in Yan Song’s expectations, the Yan Party has long been Yan Song’s reminder to get ready early. However, Li Mo and others are only just know today’s court is to discuss the sea ban, but it does not matter, the sea ban this matter has been discussed for several years, Li Mo and others are familiar with this tight, so it is not at a great disadvantage.
“Express your views, do not hide, today’s discussion, I will not be held accountable, F to words of offence. All of you are my humerus ministers, and speak freely, I and wash my ears.”Jiajing emperor sat on the dragon chair, let the following ministers on Dong Wei please wide sea ban, each express their views.
After Emperor Jiajing spoke, the following ministers all saluted and said that they obeyed the decree.
“Your Majesty’s great grace, we are bathed in the great grace, when thinking of His Majesty’s worries. The matter of the sea ban has been a long time coming and involves many people, I still hope that all of you will make sure to do your best, let’s start the deliberation.”Yan Song, after bowing to Emperor Jiajing, then slowly looked at the courtiers, set the tone of the proceedings, then looked at Li Mo and said, “Lord Li may have a high opinion, but also please say it.”
Yan Song’s words fell, Li Mo will be head high, “the system of sea ban is the ancestral system, the ancestral law can not be changed, Fu today, the chaos of the Japanese is clear evidence that the sea ban when the strict is not lenient, leather ferry, strict security armour, search and arrest of traitors, piece of the sails are not allowed to enter the sea. City Hublot Division can not be reopened, please wide sea ban is treasonous, Dong Wei’s disciples should also be severely punished.”
Li Mo finished, Yan Song party members in Zhao Wenhua will put forward counter-argument, “Li said that the Japanese began to wide sea ban, please forgive my official dare not agree. When the sea ban was strict, the Japanese were already rampant. I think Lord Li’s search for traitors was also informed that the so-called Japanese pirates, the number of real Japanese is less than 1,000, are all Zhang Wen near the sea thieves ganged up to guide also. The Japanese rebellion is not due to the strike of the market, because the people of Fujian and Zhejiang to go down to the sea to pass the tomatoes to gain profit, gather the crowd of people, and then start a mad plot.”
Speaking of this, Zhao Wenhua summed up a sentence: “the city passes is the pirates into business, the city ban is the business into the pirates.”
Upon hearing this, Yan Song nodded his head in satisfaction.
Li Mo’s party was not willing to show weakness, and soon used the example of the sea ban ordered by Taizu to refute it again, and for a while there were endless arguments in the hall.
From the sea ban, Japanese pirates, slowly to the point of quoting scripture to attack each other.
Looked at the courtroom quotes each refutation of the minister, Jiajing emperor face unchanged, listened with interest to the ministers underneath the hype a mess.
This is the time to show their strength and merit!
These ministers cited the classics, the argument of the rise, in order to overwhelm each other, the knowledge of their own bottom of the box are moved out, quoted the classics are more and more biased, a lot of almost never heard of the classics were also moved out.
In the end, the debate seems to have become a sword debate on remote classics.
Jiajing Emperor listened to the excitement, found that there are several classics is not heard of, came to the interest, so they wrote a small note, let the small eunuchs accompanying the transmission to the Hanlin Academy, so that the Hanlin Academy will be the note of the classics from the Book Depository to the West Garden to.
When the small note passed to the Hanlin Academy, the Hanlin Academy people looked at the small note on the rare to the grandmother’s home of the classics, can not help but want to curse, the court fire, the Hanlin ah!
