Chapter 592 Shocking News
The policeman was shocked when he heard this, and looked at the unkempt man in front of him in disbelief.
However, the patrols have seen such things before. With a large number of sea ships going out to sea, there will often be cases of sea ships capsizing. This lucky person was rescued by someone, and after returning to land, he was also insane.
"Which ship is lost? Is there any possibility of rescue?"
The man shook his head and smiled unconsciously: "Come on, I... I'm going to Beijing... I want to go to the capital."
After that, he staggered and ran away.
The police wanted to stop him, but when he thought about it carefully, this person might just be a lunatic, so there was no need to argue with him.
Immediately, he just shook his head and turned to leave.
But the man stumbled, as if he had been in a nightmare, still muttering something in his mouth, and went crazy.
…………
In Wenyuan Pavilion.
Zhang Anshi has nothing to do these days, so he sneaks into the study every day to hide from laziness.
Sitting on the thick sofa, hugging the teacup, sitting for a long time, really don't want to be too comfortable.
Such a good day is rare.
On the one hand, Zhang Anshi's laziness started, and on the other hand, the recent promotion of the New Deal seems to be going smoothly, and there is really nothing to worry about.
But in the past few days, Hu Guang and others have been annoying enough.
Every time we drink tea in the study, everyone will read the newspaper.
In addition to the residence newspaper, there is the business newspaper.
At first when Hu Guang started reading the business newspaper, the other princes laughed at him, but now, even they are infected.
After all, they also slowly began to recall that things in this world are more and more related to industry and commerce, whether it is imperial court construction projects, or the huge taxes brought by industry and commerce every year, any bachelor, if he ignores the influence of industry and commerce , But if you really try to rule the world by brain power, you will suffer.
Everyone looked at the business newspaper, and one of the sub-pages was about the situation of the Wa Kingdom.
A big trading house has already released news that this year, the trade between Daming and the Wa Kingdom may hit a new high.
There are no less than a hundred Han merchants entrenched in the Wa Kingdom, and all kinds of business are in full swing, and it is said that they are quite profitable.
The first person to see the news was Jin Youzi. After seeing it, Jin Youzi couldn't help lowering his eyebrows, then glanced at Zhang Anshi, and immediately seemed to have not seen him.
But at this time, Hu Guang read aloud: "This year, the growth of the Wa country is gratifying, its sea trade has grown significantly, and the implementation of the New Deal is making rapid progress, which is really scary..."
When he thought this way, he taught others to pretend to be stupid.
Zhang Anshi also put down the newspaper and said, "Mr. Hu, why are you so keen on the news about the Japanese people recently?"
Hu Guangdao: "Although the Japanese people are not my confidant's troubles, they are also wolfish ambitions. The soldiers and civilians along the southeast coast are still thinking about the revenge of the Japanese pirates. The so-called revenge for ten generations can still be avenged...Da Ming regards the Japanese people as bad. In the country of conquest, it is because the sea route is difficult, and conquests will inevitably waste people and money, so...the imperial court believes that peace is the most important thing, and is unwilling to lightly start wars."
"But this does not mean that Fusang should be nourished and opened up to sea trade! The innovation policy also makes it completely reborn, just like my Ming Dynasty, which is as prosperous as it is today. Not only has Fusang opened a new policy, but it has also won many talents. It has attracted countless merchants, and if it goes on for a long time, won’t it teach the soldiers and civilians along the southeast coast that they will all gnash their teeth and hold hatred? His Royal Highness Song, if you make a mistake, you must know the mistake first, and you must know the mistake before you can correct it. It caused a lot of criticism, but His Highness insisted on going his own way, what do you say now?"
After a pause, Hu Guang continued in a deep and deep voice: "Mr. Hu, I have no personal hatred for His Highness, but just talking about things. Why don't people worry about the current situation? Your Highness, think of a way, old man After thinking about it again and again, why not...how about a sea ban on the Japanese?"
Everyone looked at Zhang Anshi silently without showing any signs of expression.
Zhang Anshi raised his eyebrows and said, "Sea ban? It's impossible to rely on sea ban. In this world, as long as there are profits, how can maritime merchants take the imperial court's ban as a standard? It's unstoppable."
Hu Guang became excited, and raised his voice: "Then we must come up with some practical solutions. Look at what this business newspaper said, and what did these merchants... say?"
Zhang Anshi smiled disapprovingly and said, "You can't believe everything a businessman says."
Hu Guang laughed now, and said: "Your Highness, back then, His Highness taught everyone not to trust gentry, but to trust merchants. How is it the other way around now?"
Zhang Anshi blinked his eyes and said, "No one can fully believe what I mean."
Hu Guangdao: "Could it be that these merchants are full of food and insist on telling such a big lie?"
Zhang Anshi said: "Grand Hu, don't worry about it all the time, this king knows the matter of the Japanese kingdom well."
Hu Guang widened his eyes, and said, "His Royal Highness Song, do you think this old man is just worrying about it? If it wasn't for fear... for fear that my son will be ruined along with you, this old man would be useful...cough cough...cough cough...forget it , don’t mention it, don’t mention it.”
As he spoke, he blew his beard and stared, shook his head, and refused to speak.
Xie Jin also frowned slightly.
Sea trade in Java and other vassal states is also increasing, but the trade growth in Japan is indeed stronger.
This made Xie Jin quite worried.
Scholar-bureaucrats, to be precise, as a scholar, no matter whether you believe in Confucius or not, there are some things in your bones that will not change.
The so-called people without foresight must have near-term worries. After all, compared with Java, this country occupies a geographical advantage, and sea ships travel to and from Wa, no matter the distance of the route, geographical location, or population, are far better than Java. The success of the New Deal of the Wa Kingdom may cause serious damage to Java.
In particular, merchants and commercial newspapers seem to have a very high opinion of the new policy of the Wa Kingdom, and there is a faint tendency to occupy the front page all day long. On the contrary, it seems that there are only scraps left in Java.
If things go on like this, there is really no way.
It's just that Xie Jin is not as reckless as Hu Guang, so he decided to take a closer look.
…………
"His Majesty."
Yishiha walked carefully to Zhu Di's side.
Zhu Di was holding the business newspaper that had just been brought into the palace in his hand, and was fascinated by it.
"What's the matter?" Zhu Di heard Yi Shiha's words, and while looking at the business newspaper, he didn't raise his eyes, and only asked casually.
Yi Shiha said: "Liu Guan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, is ill today. He was not on duty and reported illness."
Zhu Di nodded lightly and said, "Got it."
Yishiha stepped aside and remained silent.
But Zhu Di suddenly said: "Wa's new policy is so powerful?"
"what……"
Zhu Di glanced at Yi Shiha, and said, "I didn't expect this."
Yi Shiha couldn't comprehend Zhu Di's meaning for a while, so he said: "Your Majesty means..."
Zhu Di said: "These days, I read newspapers everywhere, and there are quite a few things related to the new policy of the Wa Kingdom. The news is very good, and there is even a trend of surpassing my Ming Dynasty. It can be said that it is even worse than it is."
Yishiha then said calmly: "This... I have also heard about it."
Zhu Di laughed and said, "You, a slave, also care about this?"
Yishiha explained: "Nowadays, there are quite a few major commercial firms that issue various individual stocks for people to invest in. When they earn money, they will distribute dividends on the ground. Because of this, many soldiers and civilians are very concerned about this issue. In the past, everyone paid attention to some anecdotes, but now the streets and alleys are talking about buying and selling. This country is very popular recently, so... a lot of big business houses have poured in, and it is said that the returns are indeed astonishing. So...the discussion is very fierce. The servants...naturally, they also heard some rumors."
Zhu Di showed some interest, and said: "Is there such a thing? In this way, many of my courtiers have probably earned a lot from this trade, right?"
Zhu Di is not a fool, he is very clear about some things, but all the things that only need to earn money, all the officials can smell like a shark seeing blood.
Don't look at Zhu Di talking about money on weekdays, but speaking of it, who doesn't?
Yi Shiha smiled awkwardly: "According to what I know, many ministers bought some loose stocks. I heard that in Japan, they all made money."
Zhu Di suddenly realized: "It's no wonder, it's no wonder that the business newspaper praises so much, hey...they...are greedy for these small profits, but they don't know that these may become my Ming's heartache in the future. Last year's At that time, you, a servant, reminded me, and taught me to stop this matter. I was worried, but now, I regret it. So many talented people have all fallen into the hands of the Japanese, and this Japanese ..."
Having said this, Zhu Di frowned, shook his head, and stopped talking.
Seeing that Zhu Di was frowning, Yi Shiha said: "This matter... I have also heard about it. Many soldiers and civilians along the southeast coast also have criticisms of His Royal Highness Song. There are also several ministers from Ningbo who impeach His Royal Highness Song every day. , say... say..."
"It is said that Zhang Qing's family is familiar with Japanese, isn't it?" Zhu Di raised his eyes to look at him and said.
Yishiha didn't dare to continue talking.
Zhu Di pursed his lips, showing a bit of displeasure, and said, "How can Zhang Anshi have the guts to get through the Japanese? This guy is just confused. It's good if he has the courage to get through the Japanese, but I think he's as cowardly as a What about the rat! He is a dignified man with the eyes of a rat, and he is sneaky in everything he does."
Yi Shiha: "..."
Well, this topic is not suitable for him to mix.
Zhu Di immediately said: "Just letting things go on like this is not a solution. If the court doesn't give Zhang Qing's family a characterization, I'm afraid that these royal officials will continue to make trouble. It's really possible... to make this all the more real."
He frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Later, go to the East Palace and talk to the prince, just say...give Zhang Anshi a warning."
Yi Shiha understood what Zhu Di meant. If the court didn't give an explanation for such things, then all kinds of criticisms would be rampant. Instead, the court gave a punishment, which was an explanation.
Once it is determined, if there are still people who continue to use Tongwo to make a fuss, then it is really ignorant.
Yishiha once again confirmed Zhang Anshi's position in His Majesty's heart, there is no jealousy, but there is a bit of envy.
Envy is pure envy, Yi Shiha didn't think about it any more, and immediately said: "Slave obeys the order."
…………
Zhu Gaochi got the oral order, and his face was slightly unsightly.
But he had no choice but to cheer up and forcefully smiled to deal with it.
Yi Shiha said: "Your Highness should be concerned about this matter. His Majesty also said that His Majesty did not intend to interfere with the Crown Prince, but... the matter is urgent, so this time, His Majesty is in charge."
Yishiha is especially respectful to Zhu Gaochi.
And Zhu Gaochi said: "My father's intentions, I naturally know, but... counting, it was my imperial edict to call the Japanese and Korean envoys to Beijing. After that, I recommended the great sages to them, which is also my acquiescence. Now, if something goes wrong, it is not appropriate to warn Zhang Qing. Father-in-law, I should go and plead guilty to Emperor Father in person."
Yi Shiha didn't dare to stop him, he hurriedly said with a smile: "This can't be better."
Yishi smiled and agreed, but his envy towards Zhang Anshi grew stronger in his heart.This prince... is really a little bit wronged, and he is not willing to teach Zhang Anshi to bear it.
From this point of view, His Majesty is more like a strict father. Although he also favors Zhang Anshi, he will occasionally teach him a lesson.His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is like a loving mother, protecting her everywhere and trying to be considerate.
Not long after, Zhu Gaochi entered the Wenlou, bowed down, kowtowed and said: "My son is here to plead guilty."
Zhu Di looked up at Zhu Gaochi and said, "Is it because of Zhang Anshi?"
Zhu Gaochi said: "Exactly."
Zhu Di lowered his eyebrows and said, "Why are you here to apologize?"
Zhu Gaochi said: "I am ashamed, this matter... is indeed caused by my son. Except for Zhan Ji, my son's grandsons have always hoped that they can protect them well, and they will be entrusted overseas in the future. Well... it's better. Therefore, I will..."
This cause and effect can be regarded as an honest account.
Zhu Di suddenly understood, so he said: "So the idea is on the heads of North Korea and the Japanese?"
Zhu Gaochi said truthfully: "Exactly."
But Zhu Di said: "In the end, stealing chickens won't cost you a lot of rice?"
Zhu Gaochi showed a hint of embarrassment, but still bit the bullet and said: "Yes. This matter is all out of my son's selfish desires. If it is not the case, how..."
Zhu Di was not angry, but sighed with some emotion, and said: "I have worked so hard for my son, and you remember it, and it is also for your son. Our surname Zhu, always fuck The hearts of children and grandchildren. Speak up and speak."
Zhu Gaochi stood up and listened with his hands tied.
Zhu Di said: "This matter..."
Zhu Di put his hands on the imperial case, subconsciously tapped the time, thoughtful.
But at this moment, suddenly, the drums sounded like thunder.
The sound of the drum in the distance was transmitted to Wenlou.
When Zhu Di heard this, his face was gloomy.
Zhu Gaochi's face also changed slightly.
This is the Dengwen drum set outside the Meridian Gate.
The so-called Dengwen Drum is the Mingyuan Drum set up outside the palace by Emperor Taizu Gao following the experience of the previous dynasty.
According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, if there is a complaint from a grievance, and the grievance is serious, the emperor must personally accept it when he hears the sound of the drum.
It's just a general situation, ordinary people don't dare to run to beat the Dengwen drum!
On the one hand, there is a special person to manage it, and once it is beaten, it means a strange injustice through the ages.
But the Dengwen Drum hadn't been beaten for a long time, and it sounded suddenly at this moment. For Zhu Di, this must be a big deal.
As far as Zhu Gaochi is concerned, he has supervised the country for the past year. Now that such a big incident has happened, the sound of Dengwen's drum has shaken the court and the field, which also shows his dereliction of duty.
Zhu Di said decisively: "Call all the officials and bring people to Chongwen Palace, I will accept it."
Zhu Gaochi's heart sank, and he nodded silently.
On the other side, when they heard the sound of the Dengwen drum, the scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion also seemed to be taken aback, and then waited tacitly until an eunuch came to summon them, and then went to Chongwen Hall one after another.
In the Chongwen Hall, Zhu Di ascended to his seat, and all the officials took their places.
Prince Zhu Gaochi's face was a little pale.
And the bachelor, as well as many ministers and servants, couldn't help but feel a little worried.
On the one hand, this is indeed a big blow to the prince of Jian Guo.On the other hand, it also made many ministers uneasy. Who knows, will he be involved this time?
Immediately afterwards, a man with unkempt hair and face still wearing Japanese costume was escorted in.
It's just that he was dressed in rags and looked extremely unbearable.
I thought he was an ignorant and reckless man, but even though this man was dressed in rags, after entering the palace, he actually saluted like a rite, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, then kowtowed again, and then said: "Caomin Cai Min, I have seen Your Majesty, long live my emperor... "
Zhu Di raised his eyebrows lightly, and he immediately noticed something unusual.
He looked around, and the officials couldn't help but look at this person named Cai Min more.
Because although this person looks like an ignorant mountain savage, his words and deeds, as well as his conversation, are not ordinary at first glance.
"Cai Min..."
Someone murmured, feeling more and more... the name sounded familiar.
Zhu Di didn't make a sound.
But it was Jin Chun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, who came out of work anxiously, and said sharply, "Where are you from?"
Cai Min said, "I'm from Ji Prefecture."
It seems that someone is starting to have an impression of him.
Therefore, there was an uproar.
"Is that Cai Min who edited the "New Deal"?"
Cai Min said: "Exactly."
"Didn't you already go to Wa country..."
As soon as this was mentioned, Cai Min seemed extremely excited, but at this moment, Xiao Ran burst into tears, and said in a daze, "Wa...Wa...is over..."
As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was shocked.
Someone got anxious, obviously bought the stock of the firm, Dang even said anxiously: "This Japanese country...isn't it very good, why..."
Cai Min said with a mournful face: "It's over. There is a civil strife in Japan. One month ago, someone secretly assassinated General Zhengyi and he was furious. The samurai hid in the alleys of the town, set fire overnight, and attacked the general's mansion. The general quelled the chaos overnight, killed all night, blood flowed like a river, and heard that there were beacon smoke everywhere, and the Daming Hall was also besieged by rebels. It was very lucky that I escaped..."
After he finished speaking, he seemed to be recalling all the tragic scenes before, and couldn't help shivering in fright. The cold tone made people feel creepy.
