Chapter 138 Use the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son
Zhu Qizhen's eyes showed an uncontrollable look of excitement.
This Tang Xinggu is very enlightened, it’s not bad, and it’s a good thing for a child to teach!
Among the ministers, Peng Qing and Belin looked at each other and saw the same questions in each other's eyes.
Didn’t the matter of opening the sea be discussed and the Imperial Heaven Supervision has agreed to be brought up?
I prepared a set of rhetoric overnight last night, but why was it taken first today...
Looking at the indignant and passionate look of the ministers, the two of them didn't know whether they should stand up and express their agreement.
Beilin looked up and took a sneak peek, but saw that the person on the dragon throne was not calm, as if he was quite surprised by Tang Xinggu's actions.
Could it be... this person wasn't the nursery that the emperor asked for?
However, Tang Xinggu's approach was too unexpected to everyone. Qingliu, the civil minister in the hall, was about to face the emperor with a wave of confrontation. Who would have thought that the vanguard general on his side would surrender directly to the enemy!
Such behavior will have a great blow to their morale.
Seeing that the ministers were so intense, Zhu Qizhen finally reacted and said, "Please be careful not to be impatient, and listen to the Tang Qing family finish what they say."
As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers became a little quieter, and then many people started to wonder again, why does the emperor look so calm?
Could it be that this was originally discussed?
The more everyone realized that there was something tricky in it, they suddenly became more impatient, and they just wanted to kill Tang Xinggu's thoughts of rebelling against the scriptures in the bud.
So, several officials still shouted there: "Your Majesty, you must not be bewitched by Tang Xinggu. The sea ban is the ancestral system, so you must not speak nonsense..."
Zhu Qizhen immediately lowered his face and scolded: "I ask the Qing family to be calm. When the Tang Qing family finishes his words, do you want to resist the order?"
Seeing that the emperor was angry, these people stopped completely. Then, countless resentful eyes were aimed at Tang Xinggu, as if they were planning to kill him with their eyes.
Tang Xinggu was unmoved at all, as if he was prepared for the current situation.
Today I am standing by the emperor. Isn’t it just a verbal battle? If you don’t agree, who is afraid of whom!
"The reason why I proposed this idea was not caused by a whim, but it was already thoughtful."
"I can't see it carefully, I only see it carefully!"
Xu Bin, the young minister of Taichang Temple, could no longer help but retort: "Censor Tang, you have been deeply grateful to the emperor and do not want to repay the king for the country, but you have said such a ruthless and unjust words, and want to trap the emperor for being unfaithful and unfilial.
What kind of thought do you have in your situation?”
This person said nothing, and immediately raised Tang Xinggu's proposal to the level of deceiving the emperor.
As soon as this statement was made, everyone agreed and once again criticized Tang Xing, saying that his statement was completely ignoring the reputation of the emperor and was a sensationalist, and he was really not allowed to be punished.
Judging from their momentum, it seems that because of this sentence, Tang Xinggula should be killed outside with a knife.
Zhu Qizhen wanted to stop it, but then he thought that if he wanted to open the sea, the ministers would have to pass this level. Since Tang Xinggu was willing to be a pioneer, it would be better to let him try the depth first. When he couldn't hold on, he would be the only one.
Take action.
Tang Xinggu still looked calm when facing Xu Bin's attack. Even though the opposition was so fierce that he even started to shout for fighting and killing, he still stood there steadily.
"According to Xu Shaoqing's words, if the sea is opened, will the emperor be unfaithful and unfilial?"
"That's natural!"
Xu Bin replied aggressively: "Sea ban is the family law of my ancestors of the Ming Dynasty. How can one ignore the rules of our ancestors as a descendant? "
"Xu Shaoqing, so brave!"
However, Tang Xinggu suddenly sank his face and scolded loudly: "I dare to be the emperor and slander the late emperor in such a way. I dare to ask what he meant!"
"I...whether I slandered the late emperor? Don't slander someone!"
Xu Bin's tone was a little flustered, as if he didn't know what he said wrongly for a moment.
"Dare you still quibbling?"
Tang Xinggu was aggressive and began to attack.
"Then I'll ask you, the eunuch of the Three Treasures, Daxing Bao Ship, who was serving his seven voyages to the West?"
Once this sentence was said, Xu Bin was choked and almost vomited blood.
Emperor Yongle once sent Zheng He to the West seven times. Today, it is only more than twenty years since his last voyage to the West.
He obviously forgot this, and now he was easily taken over.
Tang Xinggu was unreasonable and continued: "Why did the Emperor Taizong send fleets to sea several times during his reign? Today, the emperor wants to follow his example. Is it considered to be contrary to the ancestral system?"
These words really made the officials silent.
That's Emperor Taizong, who would kill ten clans at every turn, who dares to provoke them?
Naturally, no matter what others have done, it is correct.
At this time, everyone couldn't help but feel scared. Sure enough, Tang Xinggu came prepared and actually thought of pulling Emperor Taizong as a shield. This move is really cruel!
Seeing that Tang Xinggu had the upper hand, everyone understood that they had encountered a strong enemy today. After exchanging glances with each other, someone stepped out.
This person is not someone else, but Tang Xinggu's immediate superior, Wang Wen, the right censor of the Censorate.
"Your Majesty, Emperor Taizong did send a fleet to sea several times, but that happened decades ago. It was natural that Emperor Taizong did this, but the emperor could not break the rules of his ancestors."
These words are already a bit unreasonable. There are some things your ancestors can do, but you can't.
Tang Xinggu immediately smiled and said, "According to Lord Wang's intention, do you want to say that the times change and trends change?"
"Yes, it's different, how can we generalize?"
"Okay, then I want to ask a question, why can't the court today change with the times and insist on following the sea ban rules set a hundred years ago? Can't the situation change from time to time?"
However, Tang Xinggu had no intention of showing mercy to Shangguan at all, and directly chased and attacked him hard.
"this……"
Wang Wen was stunned. Tang Xinggu's move was called using his spear to attack his shield. He was a little exhausted at the moment and didn't know what to refute.
The Qingliu in the hall was already very aggressive, but when he saw Wang Wen defeated, he didn't know how to refute it.
Seeing that he had taken the initiative, Tang Xinggu was immediately excited and continued to talk while the ministers were silent.
"The Emperor Taizu decided to ban the sea only because of the situation. But now, a hundred years have passed, everything is different. How could the imperial court be cut off because of a ban a hundred years ago? What's more, I kept saying that
, The Ming Dynasty was rich in all the seas, but now it is not even available. Wouldn't it be a joke? If the sea ban is abolished, it can not only fill the national treasury, but also promote the prestige of our Ming Dynasty to the four barbarians and all countries, so it will be of no benefit.
