Chapter 149: Don't Talk About Wu Deqin Tianjian(1/2)
Donghua Gate, Wenyuan Pavilion.
Cao Nai, Gao Gu and Zhang Yi sat upright and looked at Zhu Qiyu with a tangled face.
These days, three great masters were caught between the emperor and the officials, and finally came up with a solution to both sides.
The edict of Kaihai was repaid, but all officials should also take a step back and allow the court to imitate the ancestral system, send envoys to the sea, and promote the prestige of the Ming Dynasty.
If you deal with this, it is not considered as disobeying the saint, and all officials can accept it.
Zhu Qiyu looked at the charter in her hand, frowned, and said, "Is this... OK?"
Cao Nai said with a smile: "But I don't know if Your Highness King Hui has a better idea?"
To put it another way, this sentence is...you can do it!
If the emperor and all officials disagree, is it easy for our cabinet to be sandwiched in the middle?
Zhu Qiyu also understood, sighed and said, "It seems that this is the only way, so... I will hand it over to the emperor?"
Cao Nai nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Your Highness!"
Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but open her mouth: "Let me talk?"
The three of them smiled and looked at Zhu Qiyu with kindness.
You are a state-man. Who would you let go if you don’t want to offend people?
We three have worked hard enough. Now it’s time for you to take action. Go, we support you behind the scenes!
Zhu Qiyu was also helpless and had to take the charter and go to the imperial study room.
"I ask the saint for your good fortune!"
"No gift!"
Zhu Qizhen was sorting out information about Nanjing. When he saw Zhu Qiyu coming, he put it away.
"Is there a conclusion about opening the sea?"
Zhu Qiyu smiled awkwardly, and handed over the charter in her hand.
"After discussing with the cabinet, I thought that I had been banning the sea for a long time. Although the present is different from the past, if you want to reform the ancestral system, you should not be in a hurry and try it slowly."
Zhu Qizhen carefully looked at the regulations drafted by the cabinet, and then said, "Well, just follow this!"
"ah?"
Zhu Qiyu was a little surprised, so he agreed?
Don't stick to it anymore?
Zhu Qizhen seemed to have expected this result a long time ago and said, "Let the cabinet draw an order. What suggestions do you have for going to the sea to the imperial envoy?"
"If Qin Shipeng chooses..."
Zhu Qiyu glanced at Jin Ying standing on the side and said thoughtfully: "It is better to follow the example of the eunuch of Sanbao, find an eunuch who is the governor and the imperial envoy, and go to the West to summarize Western affairs."
Kim Young was serving tea and pouring water on the side. When he heard this, he was stunned.
Your Highness, our family hasn’t offended you, why did you send me a slaughter to sea?
Although the eunuch Sanbao has passed away, the team who went to the West was still there. Our family has been in the deep palace and courtyard all their lives, and we have never seen the sea look like. What did you ask me to do?
At the same time, Zhu Qizhen looked at him thoughtfully, as if he was quite interested in Zhu Qiyu's proposal.
Jin Ying also found that the situation was not good and quickly explained: "Emperor, I... I have never left the sea and have no experience..."
"Don't you have experience when you go there?"
"But, but..."
Kim Young was so anxious that I was over 50 years old. I was about to retire, so you can go to the sea for me...
Who knows if you go out or not can come back?
Although many eunuchs regard Zheng He as their idol, not every eunuch can become Zheng He.
The pain of going out to sea and voyage is not something that ordinary people can bear.
It may even be a storm, and the entire fleet will be destroyed.
Zhu Qizhen didn't think so much. In his eyes, he didn't want to be Zheng He's eunuch, but was not a good eunuch.
In addition, long-distance sailing is a boring and dangerous thing no matter what era it is.
There were many capable civil servants and military generals in the Ming Dynasty. If they were asked to go out to sea, even if they went there, they might not be able to do their best.
Because they all have parents, wives and children, and they all have their own concerns. They are overseas and want to go home at all times.
A fleet of long-distance voyages can often be thousands of people wandering overseas. Over time, homesickness will become a hidden danger as Yu Qian said.
Relatively speaking, eunuchs have been cleansed since childhood and have no worries.
Moreover, the relationship between eunuchs and emperors is not the monarch and ministers, but the master and servant. Compared with those civil and military ministers, they are more suitable for completing boring and dangerous sailing tasks.
"As for the personnel, you can choose any eunuch, you can take as many people as you want!"
"Sister... obey the order!"
Having said this, Kim Young didn't dare to say anything else, so he had to bow down and say yes.
Another reason why Zhu Qizhen did this is that Jin Ying's power is already quite large.
This person's power-making methods are naturally not as good as Wang Zhen, but after four dynasties, the accumulated connections should not be underestimated. Especially after Wang Zhen was executed, his godson and godson are everywhere in the palace.
If Kim Young goes out to sea, he will definitely bring these people with him.
That’s good. Since they like to recognize their godfathers and grandfathers, then follow your godfathers and grandfathers to go out to earn money for me!
Next, the capital became busy again.
The imperial court was going to go to the West again, so naturally, it was inevitable to buy supplies in large quantities.
In just three days, the price of food actually rose by 30%.
Other daily necessities also rose to varying degrees, so inflation occurred throughout the capital.
The people who followed the eunuch Sanbao to the West were all re-summoned, except for those who were too old and inconvenient to their health.
This time, the court seemed generous and sent everyone a subsidy to sea in advance.
He also promised that if anyone in the fleet, regardless of his identity, unfortunately died on his way to the West, his tablet would be entered into the Martyrs' Temple and his family would be maintained by the court.
Everyone represents a family. If they are not there, the family will lose their backbone.
Now that the court has promised, these people have completely let go of their worries and devoted themselves to the maritime industry.
In the Silijian, Jin Ying gathered his fifty-eight godsons together.
"The emperor sent our family to the West to serve as an envoy. It is a great honor. You all listened to it. After you go back, you will gather all your confidants together. If outsiders want to go, they will not be able to go!"
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to go to the West.
Logically speaking, this is a good thing, because there are precedents like the Three Treasures Eunuch.
It is said that even Hong Bao, the follower next to the eunuch of Sanbao, was bedridden not long ago, and the emperor actually went to visit him in person.
It can be seen from this that the emperor is extremely important for voyage to the West. As long as he can return a successful journey, it will definitely be a great achievement.
But the question is whether you can come back alive...
Jin Ying looked at Huai'en again and said, "Hui'en, after our family is gone, the Silijian will be handed over to you!"
Huai'en seemed a little surprised. He had just been transferred from Shangshen Supervisor and was not ready to accept such an important task.
"Eunuch Jin, I'll accompany you to the sea too. It is said that the sea is windy and waves are strong. You are so old, how can you not take care of you?"
"With your words, our family will be content!"
Jin Ying smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, there is no shortage of people around our family, but the only one who stays here is the most suitable for you. When our family is not around, you must remember that we are slaves, and no matter when, don't forget this duty!"
Huaien nodded quickly and said, "Remember Eunuch Jin's teachings!"
Kim Young has experienced four dynasties and has a very accurate view of people.
He had long believed that Huai'en was smart and smart, and understood the rules, which was very useful, so he was transferred from Shangshen Supervisor.
The future of going to the West is uncertain. If something goes wrong and the emperor blames it, maybe Huai'en can help you with some words.
In short, keeping him in the capital is much more valuable than keeping him by your side.
Huai'en didn't think so much, but suddenly took on such a heavy burden and was a little uncomfortable.
I have to do a lot of preparations before going to court every day. After going to court, I have to go back to the Sili Supervisor to review the memorials. I also have to pay attention to the emperor's instructions and I am busy every day.
The key is to keep abreast of the emperor’s preferences and know what the emperor needs.
For example, the emperor’s most concerned thing now is voyage to the West, and the date of going out to the sea that the Imperial Heaven Supervision has not yet been reported.
Vacation to the West is a national event, and the selection of dates must be passed through the Imperial Heaven Supervision.
So he sent someone to urge him, and it was quite effective. As soon as he finished urging him, he saw Belin entering the palace.
"I am the Imperial Heaven Supervisor Beilin asked the Holy Holy!"
