New Shun 1730

The people who opposed Liu Yu in the court were all cursing his shamelessness.

They dealt with Liu Yu by using guns and sticks to hurt his heart.

However, Liu Yu used shamelessness to fight shamelessness and proposed a bet agreement: if the East and South Seas were changed first in the future, the opponents would be crushed to ashes, their descendants would be slaves, their women would be prostitutes, and they would be cast into bronze statues and kneel together with Wu Sangui, Qin Hui and others.

No one dared to bet on this.

So this is very shameless.

The sky will definitely not fall, so you can bet on worrying about the sky.

But this kind of thing is not the vastness of the sky, not the vastness of the earth, and no one wants to get involved in this matter.

The Duke of E stood up again to vouch for Liu Yu. Liu Yu and the Qingzhou Army really fought in the Western Regions with a sense of prophecy, which immediately made many people hold back their words.

There was a silence in the court, and Li Gan said in his heart: You have suffered.

The war against Japan and the monopoly of spices cannot be said.

This cannot be said, the significance of the navy becomes dispensable, everything is based on an unplanned "possibility", which makes the argument untenable.

You say that Westerners may attack, I say that Westerners may not attack; you say that the East and South China Sea may change, I say that the East and South China Sea may not change.

Everyone knows that we cannot pin our hopes on the stupidity of the enemy.

But when it comes down to it, expecting the enemy to be lenient is often synonymous with worrying about the sky.

Li Gan just didn't expect Liu Yu to tear his face and face the ministers in the court with this "shrew curse" attitude. While laughing in his heart, he also understood that Liu Yu had offended all the opponents.

To be honest, Liu Yu has already lost this debate about the navy. All arguments are based on an assumption, and there is no example to learn from history.

But no one expected that when Liu Yu was silent in the court because of his unreasonable nagging, he opened his mouth again and fired a map cannon that no one expected, revealing a huge rotten scar that no one wanted to mention.

"During the Wanli period of the previous dynasty, before Sarhu, who in the court would have thought that Nurhaci would succeed? A mere general of the Dragon and Tiger General of Jianzhou Guard of the Ming Dynasty, a sesame-sized official, could almost sink the land of China?"

"I thought that the officials in the court would definitely take this as a warning, but who would have thought that you are still the Chu people who cut the boat to find the sword. You think that the danger of the previous dynasty came from the northeast, and there was Tumu Fort, so you think that the danger of this dynasty is still in the northwest or northeast. But no one has ever noticed that Westerners can sail 80,000 miles to come here, but we can't go; no one has noticed that the Westerners' military formations are very different from before, and they can fight one against three; and no one has noticed that these things are easy to learn."

"You have always put the safety of the country on the belief that the countries in the East and South Seas will not change, and you all There will be no rebellious intentions. "

"I originally found it strange, thinking that such a thing, the court is full of heroes who fought with thousands of troops, how can they not even understand this truth? "

"I have little education, but I have read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". When I read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that day, I suddenly realized whether Dongwu surrendered to Cao or resisted Cao. "

"Even if the East has changed, what can it do? Even if the South Seas have changed, what can it do? Even if the Westerners invade, what can it do? A new emperor has new ministers. When the Eastern Tartar invaded, they shaved their heads and changed their clothes. If the Eastern Tartar could be the emperor, why can't the Easterners be the emperor? Anyway, they still have to use court officials and imperial examinations, so naturally there is no need to consider it. "

Together with the map cannon, all the rotten scars of the late Ming Dynasty were exposed, and there were suddenly some shouts and curses in the court that were disrespectful and inappropriate in front of the palace.

"Liu Yu, stop slandering me!"

"Speaking with a vengeance! Speaking with a vengeance!"

"You are stirring up trouble between the monarch and his subjects by saying this, and you should be killed!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Even if we can't kill the enemy, we can still learn from Prime Minister Wen's backbone. Your words are just slander!"

Amidst the shouting and cursing, the emperor also angrily said, "Liu Yu! How dare you! What nonsense are you talking about?"

Li Gan was really angry. Some things were better not to be mentioned.

If the old scars of history were exposed, it would make the court very embarrassed.

This kind of thing was originally tacitly agreed not to be mentioned again. The civil officials who shaved their heads and changed their clothes were all fake Confucian scholars, and now they are all real Confucian scholars.

Although Dashun did not have a clear rule to forgive the past and not mention the past, this was also an unspoken rule in the court.

No one had ever directly mentioned this matter, even if they fought in the court, they would never mention it.

Originally, Dashun had set up Wude Palace to select talents independently of the imperial examination, which made many gentry dissatisfied and believed that the court did not trust them.

But it is not easy to say that they really did not trust them. It can only be said that everyone has their own expertise, and some skills are more useful than scriptures.

Now Liu Yu directly and openly tore his face, and he was just standing on a high place and shouting at this group of people: That's right, I don't trust you.

In fact, Liu Yu didn't trust anyone. Under the economic foundation of landowners, he could never bear the fruits he wanted. Nobles and good families are all the same. Without the change of production relations, they are all landlords, and the eldest brother doesn't laugh at the second brother.

But what happened in the court today was originally a quarrel.

Since it was a quarrel, there was no possibility of persuading the other party.

All you need to do is show your butt and pretend that Liu Yu is a "family member" of good families, nobles, and even imperial power.

The people who yelled and scolded all came from the imperial examination. Liu Yu knew very well that this map was very powerful. Because many people who passed the imperial examination died for their country, what he said was just a map cannon that didn't deserve a beating.

But when he said this, the nobles all rubbed their beards and said nothing, laughing secretly in their hearts; even those who were born in good families smiled and said nothing, and ignored the matter as it was none of their own business.

The existing contradictions and rifts are like the Imperial College and the Wude Palace, which are only separated by a street. Since the emperor intended to create this gap, Liu Yu naturally had to use it.

Listening to the emperor's anger, Liu Yu knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I made a mistake for a moment. I was just angry at the hurtful words I made to you before. Please punish me."

Li Gan took a few deep breaths and said, "Don't mention this matter again! You will be fined for one year."

After scolding him, he knew in his heart that Liu Yu was expressing his loyalty as a lonely minister. Although the situation was very wrong, he was fined with a salary, so he said: "Even if this matter is recorded, if you commit it again in the future, you will be punished." I'll take away your title! You have to be careful when you wear the clothes of an earl."

After scolding him sternly, Li Gan added: "But what you said is not unreasonable if you only look at the first few sentences. When Donglu first caused trouble, it was only a few thousand people. This kind of thing can indeed cause trouble. It is not unreasonable to say, "Carve a boat and ask for a sword."

"The Japanese and Southeast Asian countries have always been dissatisfied. There is some truth in the saying that those who approach the water first get the moon. Since the Westerners have come into contact with them, change may not be impossible. What you say about developing a maritime military is not unfounded. ”

"I just want you to serve the country wholeheartedly, so I won't pursue this matter any further."

Liu Yu pretended to thank him, and the atmosphere in the court became extremely awkward. Many people stared at Liu Yu fiercely, feeling that Liu Yu's mouth was too vicious.

First he swore like a shrew, and now he said so many heart-wrenching words. Regarding the matter of building a navy, not many people were willing to stand up again.

It's not that there are no truly loyal people in the court, but if you stand up at this time, you will have a lot of shit thrown at you.

No one can say what the future will bring. Dashun has come to this day, or the change of dynasties has come to this day, everyone can see clearly, how can there be any dynasty that lasts forever?

From the Song Dynasty's death in Mongolia to the end of the Ming Dynasty when Donglu almost became the emperor, everything was too magical. No one can guarantee whether future crises will really come from the East China Sea.

If a crisis really comes from the East China Sea one day in the future, those who stand up to oppose it today will be recorded in the history books. There is certainly no way to escape the phrase "misleading the country and being pedantic".

There was a moment of silence, and the British prince, who had initially played a double act with the emperor and was about to choose one of the two to protect his bottom, stood up.

"After thinking about it, Ying Suobo's words seem to make sense. It is common to make mistakes after thinking a lot. If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good."

"It is true that I have been negligent in eating Nanyang rice in Fujian, Guangdong and other places. If there are changes in Nanyang, the country does not have a navy like the Westerners that can travel thousands of miles. Although it is possible to recruit rice and grain from other places, it will not be possible. It’s really inconvenient.”

"Taking history as a guide, now we should not only look at the history books of the dynasties, but also the history of the West. In Ying Suobo's Western Countries, he also mentioned the naval blockade, and even mentioned the Netherlands, England, Spain He has destroyed dozens of other countries, and even the entire American race has become extinct. This is an extremely ambitious person."

"If you really instigate Nanyang not to sell rice grains, it will be really detrimental to the country. Moreover, Ying Suobo said, what is the law of privateering licenses in Western countries? The country supports pirates and allows plundering other countries. If it is clear, it is a bandit. , In fact, as an army, we must guard against this.”

"Building a navy, from this point of view, I support it."

The British prince who was the first to object jumped out to support. The nobles who had just confirmed that Liu Yu was one of them and the officials of the good family who came from the Butoku Palace also expressed their support.

The opponents were helpless, neither supporting nor opposing. Finally, someone stood up and said: "The court discussion has turned into a shrew's curse, which is rare in history. Isn't Ying Suo Bo invincible? If the navy rises, then There is no one in the East and South who dares to have a different intention. At that time, Ying Suobo may say: This is the merit of the sincere navy."

Liu Yu thought to himself that you would give him a thumbs up, and asked: "Otherwise. If the navy rises, no one in the East or South will dare to have a different intention. At that time, the princes are afraid that they will say: Look, the navy is useless, right?"

"Besides... you really don't know if the countries have different intentions, right?"

Li Gan was really scared, fearing that every time Liu Yu's mouth opened, he would tear out some bad scars.

Everyone knew that there were no new clothes for the emperor, but no one said anything. Everyone knows in their heart whether it is the Celestial Empire or not.

As soon as Liu Yu opened his mouth, Li Gan knew that Liu Yu would definitely talk about Ryukyu paying tribute to both sides and the Japanese monarch's diplomacy with small vassals.

It was not easy to take out the Ryukyus on this matter, and it was too expensive to attack Japan. Everyone in the court just pretended that this matter did not exist, and no one said anything. It's not worth spending tens of millions of military dollars to buy face. It's better to pretend that no one knows that Ryukyu is still a loyal vassal dedicated to paying tribute.

Before the emperor could say anything, Li Zhiyuan coughed lightly and said: "Uncle Ying Suo is young and energetic, so don't argue anymore. Since you don't object to the establishment of the navy, I think we will discuss the reform of the army. how?"

Li Gan sighed inwardly, thinking that the court's discussion on whether to build a navy ended up in this farce of a shrew.

But it's okay, the bad reputation is all on Liu Yu, and being the emperor saves him a lot of trouble.

Thinking about Japan, Li Gan thought to himself that he hoped that the navy's first battle would be a good one, as you said, and that the Qingzhou Army would have a similar process, otherwise it would be ugly.

All the ministers also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to themselves, Liu Yu, Liu Yu, your mouth is really worthless. If we talk about Ryukyu paying tribute on both sides at this time, how will it end?
