Chapter 418： Please be lenient

Chapter 418 please relax the sea ban

Zhu Ping'an returned to Zangshu Pavilion with red eyes, especially the eyes of Yuan Wei, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, looking at Zhu Ping'an were even more red!

Yuan Wei also saw the content of the note that Emperor Jiajing gave to Zhu Pingan. Sweet and sour fish is better for dinner. This sentence clearly means that Zhu Pingan's poems were favored by Emperor Jiajing, which made Yuan Wei very shameless towards Zhu Pingan. Zhu Pingan felt that he was an opportunist. In Yuan Wei's eyes, Zhu Pingan's poetry level was too average, but it was just a coincidence!

In the past, Emperor Jiajing sent a note asking the Hanlin Academy to present Qing Ci or poetry, which time it wasn't me, Yuan Wei, who was the most sacred heart. If you Zhu Ping'an wrote better than me, it's fine, but what you wrote is what the hell! Almost everyone here is more poetic than yours!

The more Yuan Wei thought about it, the more Yuan Wei looked at Zhu Ping'an unhappy, just like a rooster with mixed hair mixed into a flock of peacocks, but just such a little rooster with mixed hair stepped on the peacock's head and won the most beautiful prize .

After returning to Zangshuge, Zhu Pingan continued his great business of sorting out books. There are too many books in the vast collection. And the road is far away, but Zhu Ping'an has long been mentally prepared. The so-called journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, so insist on taking it slowly.

While Zhu Pingan was sorting out the books, the Emperor Jiajing, who had eaten and drank enough, regained his energy, took a "elixir" the size of a quail egg, and began to deal with the memorials passed down by the cabinet.

Emperor Jiajing didn’t only know how to cultivate immortality and alchemy, if he only knew how to cultivate immortality and alchemy and ignored the government, the Ming Dynasty might have changed hands a long time ago!

Emperor Jiajing just didn't go to court, and the power of Ming Dynasty still had to be firmly in his own hands. Emperor Jiajing fully understood this when he was young and had a dispute with his courtiers about "great etiquette".

Of course, the memorial handled by Emperor Jiajing was not the original memorial, but the memorial processed by the cabinet. The original memorial is first handled by the cabinet, and the cabinet handles the memorial, and writes the opinions in black pen, which is the draft. The memorial and the draft were sent to Emperor Jiajing by the cabinet. Emperor Jiajing agreed to the draft and wrote it with a red pen.

This cabinet drafting system greatly saved the emperor's time and energy.

However, Emperor Jiajing was more trouble-free. He gave the work of writing in red pen to the eunuch, the supervisor of ceremonies, that is, his Huang companion Huang Jin.

In fact, in some respects, Emperor Jiajing was the most capable emperor. He could hold Daming tightly and applaud him without going to court, in a way that saves worry, time and effort.

Emperor Jiajing took the elixir, sat on the gossip mat and meditated, with a bowl-shaped chime made of crystal clear jade beside him, and a handle made of high-quality agarwood on his leg sitting cross-legged, looking at Huang Jin nodded.

Emperor Jiajing gave Huang Jin a look, and Huang Jin understood the meaning.

Thus, Huang Jin quickly brought a stack of tickets to prepare the memorial, put it on a short table beside him, and then prepared the ink brush and inkstone, then knelt on the ground and bowed to Emperor Jiajing.

After saluting, Huang Jin took the top memorial in his hand, opened it and read it. After reading the memorial, Huang Jin then read the draft of the cabinet vote. After reading, Huang Jin put down the memorial and raised his ears.

Retort.

Emperor Jiajing held the agarwood handle and tapped the bowl-shaped chime lightly, and the sound of metal and stone chiming came out of the knocking.

Hearing the sound of the chime, Huang Jin understood it, dipped the red ink with a vermilion pen in his hand, and then re-copied the Cabinet Proposal with a red pen. This is the way Emperor Jiajing handled political affairs. The **** who was in charge of criticizing red pens could write red pens only after hearing Jiajing knocking the chime.

A sound of the chime sounded, which meant that Emperor Jiajing agreed with the cabinet's proposal. If Emperor Jiajing didn't knock the chime, Huang Jin would never dare to criticize the red pen.

After the red pen approved the memorial, Huang Jin read two more memorials. Emperor Jiajing also rang out after listening to them.

In this way, within a period of time, five memorials have been reviewed. When Huang Jin picked up the sixth memorial, he glanced at it and was stunned for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Emperor Jiajing, who was meditating, asked.

"Return to the Holy Lord, this memorial was submitted by Dong Wei, the censor of Zhejiang Province. Mr. Dong, please ease the ban on fishing and woodcutters, and enrich the country." After Emperor Jiajing inquired, Huang Jin presented the memorial in his hand to Jiajing in a concise and concise manner. God stated it.

Each memorial has at least a few hundred words. Even if Huang Jin had the patience to read it word by word, Emperor Jiajing did not have the patience to listen to it, so Huang Jin always summed up the main idea of ​​the memorial every time, which is also Huang Jin's favor. The reason is that he can summarize the memorial most accurately in the shortest time every time.

The reason why Huang Jin froze for a moment when he saw this memorial was because it was too sensitive. Recently, the court has been divided into two diametrically opposed factions regarding the sea ban. The other faction is the "Forbidden faction", which advocates strict observance of the sea ban on the grounds that Japanese pirates are rampant in Zhejiang and Fujian and the pressure on coastal defense, and that sails are not allowed to enter the sea. Ships are the reason for the prevalence of Japanese pirates. The two factions have their own supportive officials in the court, and even Yan Song's party members also have their own factions of relaxation and prohibition, not to mention other forces in the court.

There are great benefits here. The income of the Shibo Department has been recorded in previous dynasties. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the income of the Shibo Department was several times that of the land tax. It can be said that it is pulling money one by one.

In addition, not all of the Forbidden faction are pure Sea Forbidden factions, and not all of them are based on the consideration of Japanese pirates, and there are also some secret interests mixed in. The maritime ban is strictly prohibited, and the Shibo Department is not open, so smuggling will be rampant. Among them, some maritime smugglers send large sums of money to bribe local officials to ask for asylum. If the Shibo Department is opened, smuggling will be greatly affected.

These two points are just the tip of the iceberg, and there are many reasons for the activities inside.

One chi and one strict, the wording looks clean and clear, but the fight is complicated and bloody. Three years ago, Zhu Wan, the right deputy capital censor of the Ming Dynasty, the governor of Zhejiang, and the admiral of Zhejiang, Fujian and coastal defense military affairs, was a **** example.

Zhu Wan is an out-and-out strict prohibition faction. On the one hand, he resisted the Japanese pirates, and on the other hand, he led the army to break through Shuangyu Island, the gathering place for smuggling, and captured and killed the smuggling leader Baldy Li. Beheading without mercy. It was because Zhu Wan beheaded the people who traded with Frangji that the "Relief of Prohibition faction" seized the excuse and demanded Zhu Wan's dismissal under the pretext of "beheading without waiting for the court's approval". At that time, Emperor Jiajing decreed that Zhu Wan should be arrested and sent to Beijing for interrogation.

"I'm poor, sick, and conceited, so I can't take it to court. Even if the emperor doesn't want to kill me, the Fujian and Zhejiang people will definitely kill me. I die, and I don't need others."

After leaving such a sentence, Zhu Wan faced the sea and committed suicide by drinking poisoned wine.

There are still many similar examples. Haiban is a word that has changed color in the past two years. Huang Jin hesitated because he understood the gulf in it.
