The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Yes.

Emperor Taizu had the admonitions before him, but Emperor Chengzu Yongle, who succeeded him, sent fleets to the Western Ocean in a big way. Every time, they dispatched tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of treasure ships, and the other side of the earth could hear the big movements. Could it be that Emperor Yongle violated the ancestral system?

Yan Song was secretly convinced.

This Shishixing is really talented.

After his explanations like this, he really made a bloody way out of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's hadith!

. .

Chapter 433 Shandong, Bao Dapao, a wind and water [1]

Shen Shixing pursued the victory and went further: "Your Majesty! The Emperor Taizu issued the ban on the sea at the beginning, just to prevent Chen Youliang and other thieves who fled overseas, who were connected with China, and colluded with each other. How could the Emperor Taizu promulgate the ban on the sea? Is it possible for future emperors to go to sea? Therefore, Emperor Yongle is the most faithful and correct executor of the hadith of Emperor Taizu. On the one hand, he prohibited private trade with foreign countries, and on the other hand, he sent an official fleet with great fanfare to open the official The Department of Shipbuilding, communicates with foreign countries."

Now, even Jiajing nodded.

Jiajing smiled and said: "I understand Shen Aiqing's meaning. According to what you said, Taizu and Chengzu, one banned the sea and the other opened the sea. In fact, they are one body and there is no contradiction. They both forbid the people to go to the sea. But it doesn’t prohibit the court from going to sea, right?”

Shen Shixing nodded and said: "The emperor is sage! The emperor Taizu is even more sage! If he really doesn't even allow the imperial court to go to sea, why should he form an imperial navy on the coast? If the imperial court doesn't even allow it, then the navy won't allow it either. Isn't that right?" absurd?"

Jiajing thinks so.

The meaning of these words is actually very simple.

It is the old Zhu's house, only the state officials are allowed to set fire, and the people are not allowed to light lamps.

But how can the state officials stipulate that they are not even allowed to set fires themselves?

The rules of the imperial court have always restrained ordinary people, how could they bind themselves?

For example, the palace stipulates that no one is allowed to open the lock after sunset.

But the emperor himself is an exception!

The emperor can do whatever he wants, who dares to stop him?

Jiajing wanted to understand this point, and he was in a good mood. He nodded to Shen Shixing and said, "It's still Shen Aiqing's point. I have fully understood."

He stood up and said with emotion: "I've been worrying all this time. With Taizu's sage and Chengzu's heroism, how could the two generations of emperors contradict themselves and act in diametrically opposite ways? Now, after listening to Shen Aiqing's words, I suddenly realized that it was not the ancestors who It’s a contradiction, but we, the younger generations, can’t correctly understand the hadiths of our ancestors, so we’re just doing what we’re supposed to do!”

He couldn't help laughing: "Thanks to Shen Aiqing for explaining my doubts!"

With Jiajing's final decision, no matter how dissatisfied Wang Bengu and Wang Bensheng were, he did not dare to continue to refute. The general trend is over.

Even the emperor understood it, and if he didn't understand it, he could only be kicked out.

Yan Song was in a good mood. Unexpectedly, he thought it would be a tough battle and he wanted to prepare for the battle, but when Shen Shixing went out, the enemy was already defeated.

This is good.

With this strong help, there is no need to do it yourself in the future.

Jiajing resolutely ordered: "Today's court meeting, I am determined to follow Chengzu's example and lift the sea ban. Set up a city shipping department, set up a trading fleet, and implement a monopoly on domestic trade products. At the same time, the private sector is not allowed to form a fleet to go to sea!"

He looked at Yan Song, and felt that the previous policy of checks and balances made Yan Song feel a little sorry. In addition, when Yan Song recommended talents, Jiajing was deeply moved by his public spirit, and said, "This matter is up to Yan Aiqing."

He glanced at Shen Shixing again, intending to restrain Yan Song with this person, and added: "There is also Shen Aiqing, who is in charge at the same time, we can discuss it!"

Yan Song and Shen Shixing looked at each other with a tacit understanding.

Poor Jiajing, who didn't know that he had put together the two ministers who were in collusion and was actually the only important minister, thought that he had made another good move, and said indifferently: "Because of the rampant Japanese pirates, the Shibo Division and the fleet can't immediately get rid of it." Open, wait until the Japanese pirates are wiped out, and then open the sea!"

Yan Song and Shen Shixing accepted the emperor's order at the same time, and thanked the Holy Grace.

After Jiajing dealt with state affairs, he felt tired, yawned, and turned his head to the back.

The Great Court dismissed the meeting.

Yan Song and Shen Shixing stood side by side, looked at each other, but at the same time gave a cold snort, turned their heads and left, there was a hostile situation where the two heroes were not standing side by side.

Even Yang Bo said coldly to Yan Song: "Mr. Yan Ge, although you recommended me, Yang Bo only knows how to do business, and he will not, because of this kindness, treat you favoritism and pervert the law in the cabinet and state affairs. Collusion!"

Yan Song said coldly: "This Shoufu never expected you to be like this, let's wait and see."

The two big guys performed again, and walked away with a cold snort.

Princelings, Qi Dang, Chu Dang, Donglin Dang... the people who eat melons from all walks of life, seeing that Yan Song and Yang Bo still dislike each other, finally feel relieved.

Although this wave failed to stop Yan Song's proposal to open the sea ban, it did not allow Yan Song to win a big victory.You see, the new cabinet elders Shen Shi and Yang Bo both uttered harsh words, and the court openly angered Yan Song. Xu Jie was promoted to the official secretary, and Bao Heizi was promoted to the official official secretary. From now on, Yan Song's life in the court and the cabinet will become more and more difficult .

Everyone rode a donkey to read the libretto, and we'll wait and see.

In fact, they don't know that these are all routines.People only need to act, but they are always the protagonists, but they can only watch the show and be spectators for a lifetime.

At the end of the court meeting, various orders were issued immediately.

……

……

At this time, Bao Zheng was carrying out large-scale construction in Shandong, which was in full swing and made some achievements.

The dredging project of the lower reaches of the Yellow River he presided over was finally completed.The Yellow River, which often floods in Shandong, has been subdued by the land and has become a major project for irrigating tens of thousands of mu of fertile land.Even because of this, he (Li Zhaozhao) cultivated more than [-] mu of fertile riverland, which can support millions of people.

After the completion of the Yellow River Project, the flood of the Yellow River that endangered Shandong was relieved all of a sudden, and the land of Shandong, which used to be clangingly poor and ". The land with the highest grain harvest.The living standards of the people in Shandong have risen year after year, and food prices have plummeted. They are about to bid farewell to the past.

In addition, Bao Zheng was merciless against the chaos of numerous thieves and bandits in Shandong. Under Gongsun Ce's plan, he sent Zhan Zhao to lead Wang Chao Ma Han, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to dispatch thousands of patrols to arrest them. It took the officers and soldiers a year to sweep across the entire mountainous area of ​​Shandong, killing more than 20 gangs of bandits, large and small, and annihilating tens of thousands of Shandong thieves.Within a year, the banditry in Shandong was completely wiped out.
