Xu Hongji felt that this wave of operation was fine. He had already strongly agreed to open the sea. At the same time, he also gave solutions to the coastal defense issues raised by the civil servant system. This wave should be stable.

But when Xu Hongji quietly raised his head, he could not see anything from Emperor Chongzhen's face, which was still the same as the face paralysis just now.

Emperor Chongzhen, who had all the reactions to the ministers in the court, had no intention of making a decision.

The debate is now wherever it is, and it is too boring to end too early. It is better to watch the scene well and adjust your mood.

Seeing that the ministers in the court stopped arguing because they had just asked Xu Hongji, Emperor Chongzhen turned his attention to Xu Yushan, the chief assistant of the Nanjing cabinet: "What do Xu Aiqing thinks about the matter of sea ban?"

Xu Yushan bowed and said, "I think what Zhang Butang of the Ministry of Revenue said is very true. If the Franji people took advantage of our Ming Dynasty to open the sea, they would be treated as the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they would not be beautiful.

From this point of view, it is better to postpone the opening of the sea. The Duke of Wei just said that strengthening the defense of the sea can be done first. When everything is safe, the people will benefit and the world will benefit."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "Xu Aiqing is also a matter of old and conspiring to the country."

After praising Xu Yushan, Emperor Chongzhen swept his eyes to the other ministers: "Do you have any other dear ministers?"

For a moment, the ministers in the court felt a little confused.

He praised Xu Yushan and nodded in agreement with Xu Hongji. So do you want to open the sea or not? Could it be that you are really frightened?

To follow the past, this tyrant lord just wants to open the sea and would not ask everyone’s opinions at all?

Now that this happens suddenly, what exactly does he want to do?

However, Xu Hongji sneered in his heart and did not observe the reactions of the ministers in the court.

The emperor is always close to us nobles, especially himself, who can be regarded as a gangster, and he knows much more than these civil servants.

At least the matter of opening the sea must be handled, and it will not take too long. Otherwise, the emperor would not have tested himself in the past few days.

Of course, it cannot be said to be a temptation, to be precise, a notice, or a point of mention, is your Majesty’s care accessible to you, the slaughter?

Xu Hongji, who had already made up his mind, simply gave a speech: "Your Majesty, I have a word, don't you know whether to speak or not?"

I don’t know whether it’s a slurry or not?

This sentence first appeared in Emperor Chongzhen's mind, and then nodded and said, "Xu Aiqing said it just right."

Xu Hongji bowed and said, "I asked Your Majesty that during the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu invaded the Central Plains. Emperor Xiaowu of Han ordered the champion Hou to go to the north of the Mo, and to go deep into the hinterland of the Xiongnu, floating in the Xiongnu, and expose the great curtain. He broke the Yanyan, attacked the royal court, and went to the extreme, chased the north, sealed the wolf in Xushan, and Zen in Guyan, and then came to the vast sea, and then the Xiongnu were terrified and seeking marriage.

Emperor Yongle, the Emperor Chengzu of our dynasty, once said that the power of our dynasty is beyond the ancient times. He controlled the Western barbarians of the Xifannan Island in the north, had no relatives from the Han Dynasty, no alliances from the Tang Dynasty, no Song Dynasty's annual coins, and no brothers' etiquette to fight against the country.

I think that our Ming Dynasty’s East China Sea and South China Sea have two fleets, with many ships and strong soldiers, can separate a fleet to chase the enemy of Franji, destroy its country, and burn its ancestral temple. How can there be troubles at sea?"

Xu Yushan just raised his finger and pointed at Xu Hongji to start spraying, but suddenly he heard a clapping sound from the dragon throne, and then the willful laughter of Emperor Chongzhen echoed in the hall.

After a long time, Emperor Chongzhen stopped laughing and said, "I thought my Ming Dynasty nobles had been raised into pigs, no longer had ambitions, and only those who were scattered and waiting for death.

OK! Xu Aiqing said this well, let me know that my Ming Dynasty nobles have not yet completely fallen!"

After saying this, Emperor Chongzhen simply stood up from the dragon throne, walked down from the imperial stairs, and waved around the ministers in the court, then continued: "I tell you that no barbarian is innocent. Since he dares to come to the Ming Dynasty to cause trouble, he must be prepared to not be able to go back!

When I was in the capital, I once said to Xu Guangqi and Xu Aiqing, "You can go to the enemy, and I can go too!"

Ignoring the bowing posture of the many ministers in the palace, Emperor Chongzhen stopped forward at Xu Yushan: "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of the barbarians disturbing the coast? If my Ming South China Sea Fleet expeditions to Franji, then Franji Barbarians have any energy to disturb my Ming?"

Xu Yushan bowed and replied, "Your Majesty's words are very true, but I have heard that I am a thief for a thousand days, but I have never heard of that I am a thief for a thousand days.

The coastal areas of our Ming Dynasty are vast and there are countless people along the coast. If the barbarians attack the coastal areas and take revenge, wouldn’t it be the people of our Ming Dynasty who suffer?”

Emperor Chongzhen sneered and asked, "If all the barbarians are slaughtered, can anyone else come to attack the border of the Ming Dynasty?"

Xu Yushan continued: "I heard that war is an ominous weapon, not a gentleman's weapon, and it is necessary to use it. It is the best to be calm. Victory but not beautiful, and those who are beautiful are happy to kill people. Those who are happy to kill people cannot achieve the goal of the world."

Emperor Chongzhen simply laughed twice: "Good things are on the left, bad things are on the right; the side generals are on the left, and the generals are on the right. They say that they are funerals. Those who kill people will come to him with sorrow; those who defeat them will be given the funerals.

What about this sentence? Duke Xiang regained his hatred for nine generations and his great words in the Spring and Autumn Period. How many people have mentioned it in the Ming Dynasty for nearly three hundred years? What do you think Xu Aiqing?"

Xu Yushan's heart broke out and said intimately that he said something bad.

Today, Zi's reputation in the Shilin has never been very good. It not only refers to the emperor's dislike of Confucianism, but also the name of this man who is ignorant and flirtatious and flirtatious. Many people don't understand that the Donglin Party praised the emperor for his good learning?

What I mentioned was a paragraph in the 31st chapter of "Laozi", and the answer was also the second half of the sentence I had not finished. At the same time, I also brought up the matter of Duke Xiang's revenge for the ninth generation in Confucianism.

While thinking, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "Don't you see, the heroic man is dead when the Confucians stand up, and the country has praised benevolence and righteousness from now on. Once a day, the barbarians and the Central Plains are in chaos, the scholars and pigs are running and cowardly people are weeping. Since ancient times, benevolence and morality have always been a true truth."

After reading these inappropriate poems from Emperor Chongzhen, Xu Yushan only felt that his back was wet.

Even the word "Super Confucian Bee" is used. How big is this man's opinion on famous religion in his heart!

Forget it, just be able to do the business of your own family. Just do the benefits of the sea.

Business is important, official position is more important, and life is the most important!

He bowed again, and Xu Yushan bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise, I am confused for a moment. I hope Your Majesty will forgive you."

Emperor Chongzhen was not very good at it, but walked to Xu Hongji, the leader of the Nanjing Military Prefecture, and said with a smile: "The Left Prime Minister is appointed as the general of the capture of the enemy. Xu Dazhong, the king of Zhongshan in Wuning, and the deputy general Zhongwu, Chang Yuchun, the king of Kaiping, led his troops to the northern expedition. In the first year of Hongwu, he invaded Dadu and overthrew the pseudo-Yuan.

Later, he sent troops to attack the remnants of the pseudo-Yuan Yuan for many years, and became the Taifu, the Right Prime Minister of the Secretariat, and the State Affairs Office and the Young Tutor of the Crown Prince, and was granted the title of Duke of Wei.

After his death in the 18th year of Hongwu, he was posthumously named King Zhongshan, posthumously named Wuning, and buried in the Yin of Zhongshan, and made the inscription of the Imperial Divine Tao. He was also granted the Taimiao and the Temple of Meritorious Officials. He can be called the most meritorious official in the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Is that right?"

Xu Hongji said with red eyes: "Your Majesty is rewarded. My ancestors know that they are in the spring, so they should also be grateful to Your Majesty's holy grace!"

Everyone is a fucking actor. His eyes are red, so fast!

Emperor Chongzhen continued, "Why should future generations be worse than ancestors? The ancestors have made unparalleled achievements. In the future, the future should be regarded as an example and strive for more progress.

I am grateful to the British Duke Zhang Fu who died in the battle of Tumu Fort. He has already promised that the British Duke’s lineage will be founded overseas. Does the Duke of Wei have no such ambition?”

Before Xu Hongji answered, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "Don't worry about whether the birds are hidden and the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooked. I disdain for it. Wei Zhongxian is loyal to the emperor's brother and loyal to me. Now I am honored to be prosperous and have passed away today?

Don’t worry about the great achievements that are overwhelming. If you have any achievements, you can afford them. The overseas land is extremely vast. What if you promise to find the Duke of Wei and Duke Ding to establish a country overseas?"

Xu Hongji simply knelt on one knee and said, "I am willing to die for Your Majesty!"

Emperor Chongzhen didn't care how sincere Xu Hongji performed. Anyway, these words were said today. There were so many people in the court, and the words would always be spread. As long as there was one who believed it, there would be an extra loyalist.

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen simply returned to the imperial stairs, but did not sit back on the dragon throne. Instead, he smiled and said, "When I was in the capital, I had a saying that the nobles and military generals could obtain overseas fiefs based on their merits, and civil servants could exchange fiefs for merits and gold and silver. I would like to give you all this to you today!"

Don’t worry about how many people believe it or not. In short, Emperor Chongzhen said what he said, and this is true.

For a moment, the civil and military ministers in the court all knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After shouting lightly, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "I have been talking about it for a long time, but I will return to the previous topic. What do you think about opening the sea?"

Xu Hongji took the lead and said, "I would like to lift the sea ban in Fujian. The sea ban in Guangdong must be delayed. After Guangdong's sea defense is improved, the sea will be opened."

After thinking about it, in order to avoid Emperor Chongzhen mistakenly thinking that he was cowardly or betrayed the civil servants, Xu Hongji simply continued: "I am willing to spend half a year. If Guangdong's coastal defense cannot be improved within half a year, I am willing to apologize for death!"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded with a smile, then turned his gaze to Xu Yushan: "What do you think Xu Aiqing?"

Xu Yushan still doesn’t have the courage to say no.

Taking the position of the chief minister of the Nanjing cabinet basically means that the road to officialdom has reached its peak, and the possibility of further development is almost zero.

Unless the cabinet in the capital was suddenly killed by Emperor Chongzhen and there was no reserve candidate, he had no hope of entering the cabinet in the capital, and the guys in the cabinet in the capital would not be in the same mind as him.

As the official road reaches the top, the remaining way is to make more money, but how much money is not the key, the key is to have a life to spend.

After three hundred years of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, except for Emperor Hongwu, the founding Emperor Taizu, no emperor had the same murderous intention as Emperor Chongzhen.

In order to save your life and for the vague overseas fiefdom, Xu Yushan also bowed and said, "I agree with opening the sea."

Now, without waiting for Emperor Chongzhen to ask again, the ministers in the court bowed and said, "I agree with opening the sea!"

The voice of promising the opening of the sea echoed in the hall, and Emperor Chongzhen also said with a smile: "Since all my dear friends agree with the opening of the sea, then open it.

The cabinet, the various ministries, the Dali Temple, and the Honglu Temple discussed together, how to open the law in this sea, where to set up customs, and how to collect taxes at sea, I need a complete and feasible plan."

After the ministers bowed and thought it was, Emperor Chongzhen said, "In addition, I have something else to discuss with my beloved ministers.

I intend to reset the reserve warehouse set up by Emperor Taizu Gao and set it up in the four towns and cities. How about the beloved ministers?"

No, this matter is actually just robbing money from everyone's pockets.

To put it bluntly, the advantage of being a big guy is that he has an official position, and it is easier to get the land.

With land, there is food. It’s a shame for me to sell grain at a high price during the disaster year.

The preparation warehouse is really a scam. I don’t know how the cowherd came up with such a loss. He used official money to buy grain to store it for relief. He borrowed loans from the people in the desert and repaid them in the autumn.

Before, the reserve warehouses in the whole world were similar to those in the past, and the Changping warehouse was even more complete. Emperor Chongzhen had to buy food with the silver from the treasury and the treasury. It was good for everyone. Anyway, the silver could be put into his pocket.

But now the situation is different.

In the past, the treasury had no money, but whoever was still stupid and thought that the current treasury and the treasury had no money was the real fool!

If Emperor Chongzhen really restored the reserve warehouse, it would be a real deception.

In the year of a bumper year, the purchase of grain and the lent to the people in the year of a disaster is even more intelligent than Emperor Chongzhen's simple life-threatening disaster relief.

At least as long as there is still food in the reserve warehouse, the people don’t have to worry about their hunger, and they don’t have to worry about the people being raised as lazy people.

Emperor Chongzhen saw the performance of the ministers in the hall, but did not speak, just feeling a little disappointed.

Whose interests will be hurt by the reserve warehouse? It is self-evident that the civil and military ministers in the court who keep making money from the sea and from business.

Because the land and food in their hands are also very impressive.

But it is impossible not to collect food. At least I will never stop collecting food in my life. Who knows how long will this damn Little Ice Age pass?

After the past, everyone is happy. It is hard to say what the people who cannot get through and cannot eat will do.

When Xu Hongji was about to leave his squad and shouted to the minister for advice, he heard a shout from outside the hall: "Good news from the East China Sea Fleet!"
