As Zhao Ce said, history will always move forward, and it is imperative to unleash the maritime ban.

When Emperor Hongzhi was dealing with political affairs today, he looked at the memorials on the table asking for the cancellation of the sea ban, and just glanced at the light face several times.

After scanning, put it aside and put it on top with Liu Daxia's one on top, leaving all the ones in the middle and not sending them out.

On the table, there is also the "On the Sea Power" that I took from Zhao Ce's house yesterday.

I have to say that Zhao Ce did surprise him every time.

He never thought about the boldness of "Theory of the Sea Power" even as an emperor.

Emperor Hongzhi became more and more frightened when he watched it yesterday.

However, the more you look at it, the more you feel that there is something wonderful about it.

However, things cannot be accomplished overnight.

He could only temporarily put the "On the Right to the Sea" aside to deal with the current conservatives who opposed the opening of the maritime ban.

Li Dongyang will set off for Shandong in the past two days to preside over the rehabilitation ceremony of the Confucius Temple.

He looked at the memorials one after another and said, "I'm afraid the voices of opposition will be even louder."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled.

Today, Xie Qian and Liu Jian have left first. He left Li Dongyang and discussed with him about rebuilding the Confucius Temple.

Now there are only two kings and ministers in the warm cabinet.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Master Li, do you think I am wrong?"

Li Dongyang sighed lightly.

"To be honest, I have checked the transactions we conducted with the tribute states in the Ming Dynasty every year."

"Hmm? What's the result?" Emperor Hongzhi asked knowingly.

Li Dongyang said: "The result is really as someone said."

"The huge profits that really bring here are something that makes people tempted!"

"It's just because the transaction amount is too small, and the profits seem to be small."

"If trade is expanded, it will definitely bring a good annual harvest to our Ming Dynasty."

Emperor Hongzhi knew someone in his mouth.

He smiled and said, "It's enough to have your words from Master Li."

Li Dongyang shook his head: "Mr. Liu is stubborn, I'm afraid that His Majesty will have to spend some time to appease them later."

"I can't help much even if I go to the Shandong Provincial Administration Commission."

After a pause, Li Dongyang said: "If the reaction is too intense, Your Majesty can delay the opening of the sea ban."

"Still stabilize the situation in North Korea first."

Emperor Hongzhi has always been gentle and can get along with them, such as civil officials.

What Li Dongyang said was that if he really couldn't stand it, he would drag it first.

He is not in the court, and many major events will be one step later.

Liu Jian seemed to support the opening of the maritime ban, but it was hard to say what was inside.

Although Xie Qian did not object, he did not express his opinion at all.

Each of them represents various interests behind them.

Even though Li Dongyang listened to Zhao Ce's comprehensive analysis and looked up a lot of relevant data, he was willing to fully support Emperor Hongzhi's affairs.

However, if people are not in the court, there are always some constraints.

According to past practice, if Emperor Hongzhi could not stand it, he would first appease him.

Later, I will slowly draw it.

However, this time, Emperor Hongzhi was extremely determined for some reason.

He said, "Master Li, I am sure to win this time when the sea is opened."

Li Dongyang rarely heard his decisive and straightforward words, and he raised his drooping eyelids in surprise.

"Why is Your Majesty so determined?"

Emperor Hongzhi's eyes flashed, and he did not tell him about the gold and silver mine that Zhao Ce told him.

He said: "Do Master Li still remember the frontier incident in the past two years?"

Li Dongyang nodded: "Two years ago, the Mongolian Yuan led people into Qinghe Fort in Liaodong, and went to Miyun, and rushed west to swept and turned heads."

"Qiu will invade the Chang'an Fortress in Liaodong with five thousand cavalry."

He asked, "Your Majesty is worried that the frontier guards are not enough to defend the enemy, so he has to seek external forces so anxiously?"

"But haste will not be achieved, and this fact should not be rushed."

Emperor Hongzhi sighed lightly.

"I have been thinking about the border two years ago."

"I wanted to send troops to defend the enemy at the beginning, but several masters, Shangshu Liu and others all said to stop him."

"At that time, the Mongol Yuan was allowed to plunder the land of our Han people, and how many people were killed or injured?"

"We have so many soldiers on the border of Daming, just to resist foreign invasions."

"In the end, I could only watch my people be captured and killed."

Emperor Hongzhi lowered his eyes and clenched his fists.

He rarely has the same emotions in front of his ministers.

"I always feel like I can't sleep at night whenever I think of it."

"It is true that what Liu Shangshu said at the beginning is reasonable. Our Ming Dynasty is now worried about external troubles and internal troubles. All the generals and horses are far inferior to those of Taizong. If you are not careful, you will be killed by the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the border. It is really not appropriate to make a big move."

"However, I set up a nine-sided important town and raised so many soldiers, but when the people of the Ming Dynasty needed it, I could not send troops to rescue the people from water and fire..."

Emperor Hongzhi wiped his face with regret in his tone.

"Master Li, I am really..."

After hearing his words, Li Dongyang sighed at the right time.

Although he did not have the will to defend at the beginning, he did not speak out to stop Liu Jian and others from defending.

"Your Majesty does not need to blame yourself."

"Defense was the best choice for the frontier."

"If opening the sea is really useful, the border will also get a lot of benefits."

"When our troops are strong, why should these old Mongolian Yuan subordinates be afraid?"

Emperor Hongzhi seemed to be comforted by him and smiled slightly.

"What Master Li said is that I was confused for a moment."

Li Dongyang smiled and said, "Now the sea is about to open, and your Majesty is even more busy recently."

"You should pay attention to rest."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said a few more words to Li Dongyang gently.

After Li Dongyang left, the expression on his face had been completely cleaned up.

A hand that was placed on his thigh casually, and gently tapped his fingers.

After thinking about it, he ordered: "Go to meet with Mou Bin, the leader of the Jinyiwei."

After the news was published, a man with a tall and tall horse and steady footsteps soon walked in.

The visitor knelt down and clenched his fists with both hands.

"The Emperor."

Emperor Hongzhi stretched out his hand and spared his courtesy.

He said to Mou Bin directly: "I have something important to you and you will do it yourself."

It is naturally not a trivial matter to be handed over to the commander of the Jinyiwei.

Mou Bin dared not neglect and listened attentively to the emperor's words.

"This time you open the sea, you will take people to set off with the official boat."

"The official ship will stop in Japan. I want you to take people to find two mountains in one place in Japan."

“…”

Emperor Hongzhi told Mou Bin roughly what Zhao Ce said to him.

As for the location of the Jinshan Silver Mine, Zhao Ce could only point to a rough place.

The specific details will be confirmed after Mou Bin brings people over to detect.

Watching Mou Bin walk out of the warm pavilion, Emperor Hongzhi smiled bitterly and said, "Yongxibo, I hope what you said is true..."
