The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Liu Yu felt his back was sticky and soaked with sweat.

Before he became the minister, he could just stand aside and watch the excitement. Now that he is the minister, the emperor still wants to ask for his opinion.

"What Mr. Yan said is reasonable, but it will only increase the burden on the staff of the station in vain."

If you just listen to your son, you won't harm yourself.

Jiang Mian said: "Now that the world is stable, it is not appropriate to fight with Wala. Wait until trade is established, and then capture Wu Dinghou and enter the capital. This will kill two birds with one stone."

Zhu Houzhao was eager to try, and wished that Oala could attack the capital, so that he could conquer in person without having to go to Datong.

"I can lead my troops to capture Wu Dinghou and destroy Wala at the same time."

Li Dongyang looked at the imperial steps three feet in front of him attentively. He had anticipated various possibilities, but he did not expect it to be Wu Dinghou.

This man has been a military commander for generations and has been loyal to the court, but he has become so corrupt!

"Is what Mr. Liu said true?"

Seeing that he was suspected, Liu Yu's eyes sharpened with excitement, and he said in a deep voice: "Yes, I was also shocked."

He is still detained in Xingbu. If you don't believe me, go and interrogate him personally.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi stroked his beard, his eyes showing a solemn light.

He does not advocate military service and will negotiate peace if possible. But as Yan Chengjin said, if Yishi cannot earn Wala's money, there is no need.

"How do Yan Qing's family know that they can't make any money?"

"I guessed it."

Baiguan: "..."

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi thought for a moment and then looked at Zhang Fuhua.

"How many troops does Wala lead?"

"About 150,000, mostly homeless people and returnees from Tatar."

Zhang Fuhua handed over and Wala collected the remaining Tatar cavalry on the grassland.

Yan Chengjin said that Wala would become the great enemy of the Ming Dynasty in the northwest. Looking at it now, it is indeed the case.

Seeing that there was a dispute in the cabinet, the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi raised his hand to dismiss the court discussion and let the cabinet decide first.

Cabinet, value room.

Li Dongyang sat at the head of the desk, "Everyone agrees to the tribute trade, please raise your hands!"

Xie Qian pondered for a moment, then raised his hand.

Jiang Mian and Zhang Sheng exchanged glances, and then raised their hands.

Cui Yan glanced at Yan Chengjin. He was following Yan Chengjin.

Yan Chengjin also raised his hand, "I also agree with this."

Li Dongyang said with a straight face: "You were in the court just now, didn't you disapprove?"

"Now I agree."

"..." Xie Qian.

"..." Jiang Mian.

If you had been like this just now, why would you need to reconsider it in the cabinet?

Cui Yan was overjoyed and raised his hand along with Yan Chengjin, and the cabinet unanimously approved it.

After a while, Li Dongyang came to Jinshen Hall to report to the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi.

"The cabinet unanimously approved the opening of the Datong Tea and Horse Trading Market to conduct tribute trade with Oara."

Um?

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi turned his head and said solemnly: "Yan Chengjin also agrees?"

"Agreed."

Xiao Jing whispered a few words into the ear of the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi, and a sharp light shone in the eyes of the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi, this guy who assesses the situation.

"Let him come!"

Li Dong felt a little ashamed. He was just a grassroots man. He fell to the side where there were more people. He had no bones at all.

It just happened to be his son-in-law.

At this moment, Dong Nuan Pavilion.

Zhu Houzhao blinked and looked at Yan Chengjin: "Lao Gao, did you just raise your hand in favor?"

"yes."

"Spineless guy, I've totally disgraced you."

"It's not that I don't have ideas, it's just..." Yan Chengjin looked at Zhu Houzhao and pondered for a moment: "After Wu Dinghou's iron scroll is recovered, it will be returned to me."

Zhu Houzhao understood instantly and asked Gu Dayong to get pen and paper and make a deed with Yan Chengjin.

The young eunuch pushed the door open and came in: "Master Yan, the Supreme Emperor has summoned you to Jinshen Hall."

Sure enough, he was summoned...

Yan Chengjin collected the deed and said, "Is that minister gone?"

"Go ahead."

A figure was walking leisurely through the main courtyard of Fengtian Hall and walked up the imperial steps leading to the back hall.

Yan Chengjin held up the hem of his clothes, but his expression was not in a hurry.

The young eunuch went in first and announced: "Your Majesty, Lord Yan is here."

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi's eyes shone, "You tried to dissuade me in the main hall, but why did you agree to it when you returned to the cabinet?"

"It's useless for me to dissuade you, so I simply agreed."

"..." The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi.

Li Dongyang can also understand the mood of the Supreme Emperor.

This son's advice always comes true, and he plays a very important role in the heart of the Supreme Emperor.

After the Battle of Tumubao, Wala attacked Deshengmen in the capital, and the national power should not be underestimated.

He first opposed and then agreed, which made the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi suspicious.

A trace of displeasure flashed in the eyes of the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi, but at the next moment, he looked kindly and took a deep breath: "Why did the Yan Qing family dissuade you before?"

Yan Chengjin's heart moved.

The Emperor was shaken. As long as he was persuaded not to open the Yi Market, it would be useless even if the cabinet unanimously approved it.

"The Khan of Wala is Weng Guochu. This man was in power during the Hongzhi period. The Emperor still remembers that Wala lent 30,000 troops to the Tatars?"

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi had a flash of inspiration.

When Dayan Khan attacked Hetao, he borrowed 30,000 troops from Wala, but was defeated by Yan Kesong.

Yan Chengjin continued: "Weng Guochu also wanted to destroy the Ming Dynasty and restore the Yuan Dynasty. How could this person be willing to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty?"

The Supreme Emperor should also understand.

It's just that the Supreme Emperor and the princes are enjoying the peace of war on all sides, just like boiling frogs in warm water, they don't want to move anymore.

Wala absorbed the Tatar soldiers and horses. Li Dongyang knew that Yan Chengjin's words were reasonable and sighed.

"When is the head?"

Now the same scene as in Tatar is happening again.

The captives will not submit obediently, so they will have to fight for a few years and rest for a few years.

Yan Chengjin took out a booklet from his sleeve: "Your Majesty, please take a look."

"What's this?"

"I ordered Xie Yu to estimate the goods traded by the people of the northwest and Wala, and open a trade market. The court will pay for the goods."

"The Qiliangxiang Chamber of Commerce almost occupies the silk, tea and refined salt markets in the northwest. If Wala intervenes at this time, the silver in the hands of the gentry will flow to Wala."

At noon, Fengtian Hall.

After lunch, the officials stood in the main hall and looked at the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi attentively.

Jiang Mian and others also noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere. Just when the Supreme Emperor summoned Mr. Li, his expressions changed.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi said solemnly: "I have thought about it for a long time, and what the new emperor said is reasonable. From now on, the country belongs to the new emperor, and this matter should be decided by the new emperor."

Zhu Houzhao blinked and his eyes shone. Unexpectedly, Lao Gao was so efficient.

Jiang Mian and Zhang Sheng looked at each other, what kind of operation is this?

Didn’t the cabinet unanimously approve it?

Zhu Houzhao turned around happily and said to the princes and officials: "Go to Datong to convey my will. Just tell them that I don't want to pay tribute with them. If they have the guts, they can come to the capital."

What?

The faces of Jiang Mian and others were filled with dark clouds, and gradually darkened.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi shook his face fiercely. He was about to scold this traitor, but after thinking about it, now was not the time to refute.

Zhang Sheng hesitated: "The cabinet deliberations revealed that this is not the case!"

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi said: "The imperial court is also short of money now. If we can't make money by opening the Yi Market, why should we open the Yi Market?"

Xiao Jing handed over a booklet.

Jiang Mian and others looked behind and looked at Yan Chengjin again.

This guy does have an idea, but it's just a little bit vulgar. He first opposes it, then approves it, then opposes it again...

"According to my instructions, I will transfer the Datong and Jingying armies and escort Guo Xun back to the capital. If Wala wants to start a war, I will order the British to meet the enemy."
