Chapter 592 – Shocking News

When that inspector heard that, he was shocked and looked incredulously at the pimply-faced man in front of him.

But this kind of thing, the inspector has seen, with a large number of sea ships out to sea, often there will be sea ships capsized, this lucky person was rescued by someone, after returning to land, also this kind of madness.

“Which ship is finished? Is there any possibility of rescue?”

The man shook his head and let out what seemed like an unconscious laugh, “Strike that, I …… I’m going into the capital …… I’m going into the capital.”

With that, he staggered and ran straight away.

The inspector wanted to stop it, but on second thought, the man was probably just a lunatic and there was no need to bother with him.

Immediately, he also just shook his head and turned away.

And the man stumbled, but as if he had been struck by a nightmare, still muttering something under his breath, went mad.

…………

In the Wen Yuan Ge.

Zhang Anshi these days, but there is nothing to do, so every day sneak to the study to hide lazy.

Sitting on the thick sofa, hugging the tea, this sitting, is the old half day, really don’t be too comfortable.

Good days like this don’t come around often.

On the one hand, since Zhang Anshi lazy nature up, and on the other hand, is the recent advancement of the new government, seems to be quite smooth, there is really nothing to worry about.

But these past few days, Hu Guang and the others, were annoying enough.

Whenever we have tea in the bookstore, everyone reads the newspaper.

Apart from the Di Di newspaper, there is the Commercial Press.

Initially, when Hu Guang started to read the business newspaper, the other princes even laughed at it, but now, even they were infected.

After all, they also slowly began to taste, the world’s affairs, more and more and industrial and commercial related, whether it is the court construction projects, or annual industrial and commercial brought about by the huge amount of taxes, any university scholar, if you ignore the impact of industrial and commercial, and really trying to rely on the brain to rule the world, are going to suffer.

The crowd looked at the business newspaper, and one of the supplemental pages, however, was again about the situation in the Japanese country.

Some big merchant houses have already released the news that the trade between Daming and Japan this year will probably hit a new high.

Coiled in the Japanese Han merchants, has no less than a hundred, a variety of trading, can be said to be in full swing, and heard that the profits are very rich.

The first to see the message was Jin Youzi, who couldn’t help but sink his eyebrows after reading it, and then glanced at Zhang Anshi, and then acted as if he hadn’t seen it.

Instead, at this time, Hu Guang read aloud, “This year, the growth of the Japanese country is gratifying, the growth of its sea trade is remarkable, the implementation of the new policy, a day a thousand miles, really can be feared also ……”

As soon as he read that, he taught the others to play dumb.

Zhang Anshi also put down the newspaper and said, “Duke Hu, how come you are so keen on the news of the Japanese lately?”

Hu Guang said: “The Japanese, although not my Ming heart of the trouble, but also the wolf’s ambition, this southeast coast of the people and the people of the military, and now also remembered when the Japanese wreak havoc of revenge also. The so-called ten worlds of revenge, can also be reported …… Daming regarded the Japanese as a country that does not conquer, this is because the sea road is difficult to conquer, can not avoid the people hurt money, and thus …… the court is pursued to peace as a noble, not willing to lightly start the war.”

“But this does not mean that it is necessary to nourish Fusan, so that it opens the sea trade! The new government, also make it so that the transformation, like my Ming general, have today’s prosperity. Now not only Fusang opened a new policy, and many talented people, but also attracted countless merchants, long term, will not teach the southeast coast of the people and the military, all teeth hate? Your Highness, the King of Song, wrong is wrong, wrong to first know the wrong, know the wrong in order to correct, when the time, Your Highness so dry, it triggered a lot of criticism, but Your Highness is insisting on bent, now how to say?”

After a pause, Hu Guang language heavy deep long then said: “Hu someone, to your highness has no personal hatred, but it is on the matter of things just, now this situation, how not teach people worry about it? Your Highness, think of a way, I think again and again, why not …… impose a sea ban on the Japanese, how?”

All of them looked at Zhang Anshi silently, not showing any emotion.

Zhang Anshi raised his eyebrows and said: “Sea ban? With the sea ban can not be, in this world, as long as there is still profit, the sea merchants out of the sea, how will the imperial court’s ban as if it is a guideline? This is not a ban.”

Hu Guang agitated, raised his voice: “That also need to come up with some practical ways, you see how this business newspaper said, these merchants …… and how to say?”

Zhang Anshi, however, smiled disbelievingly and said, “The words of businessmen cannot be trusted.”

Hu Guang this time actually laughed, said: “Your Highness, when the time, Your Highness, but taught everyone not to trust the scholar-gentry, but trust the merchants, now how to reverse it?”

Zhang Anshi blinked and said, “What this king means, no one can be trusted.”

Hu Guang said, “Could it be that these merchants, having had their fill, had to tell this big lie?”

Zhang Anshi said, “Lord Hu, don’t always worry blindly, this Japanese matter, this king has a clear idea in his heart.”

Hu Guang widened his eyes and said: ”Your Highness the King of Song, do you think the old man is blindly worried? If it is not afraid …… of my son along with you along with the body and reputation, the old man with a …… cough …… cough …… cough …… Forget it, don’t mention it, don’t mention it.”

With that, blowing his beard and shaking his head again, he refused to speak.

Xie Jin also frowned slightly at the side.

Java and other clans, sea trade is also growing, but the Japanese trade growth, indeed, is more robust.

This makes Xie Jin also quite worried.

Shi Da Fu, to be precise, as a reader, whether people still believe in the Confucian sages or not, but there are some things in the bones, but will not change.

The so-called people do not have far-flung concerns must be near, this Japan, after all, compared to Java, occupies the geographical advantage, and sea ships to and from Japan, whether it is the route of the proximity of the geographic location, as well as the population, are far better than Java, once the success of the new Japanese government, for Java, the harm may not be small.

In particular, the merchants and business newspapers seem to have a very high opinion of the new policy of the Japanese, and there is a tendency to occupy the front page day after day, which makes Java look like a side show.

It’s really not a good idea in the long run.

Only Xie Jin this person, not like Hu Guang so reckless, he decided to take a good look again.

…………

“Your Majesty.”

Yiluoha carefully walked to Zhu’s side.

Zhu Di, on the other hand, was holding a business newspaper that had just been sent to the palace, and was looking at it with great interest.

“What is it?” Zhu Di heard the words of Yiluoha, looking at the business newspaper on the one hand, and did not raise his eyes, but only asked gently.

Also lost ha said, “Ministry of Rites Secretary Liu Guan, today contracted a disease, not on duty, sued for illness.”

Zhu only blushed lightly and nodded, “Got it.”

Yishakha then retreated to the side, silent.

Zhu Di, however, suddenly said, “The new policy of the Japanese, such a powerful?”

“Ah ……”

Zhu Di glanced at Yiluoha and said, “This has not occurred to me.”

Yiluoha didn’t savor Zhu’s meaning for a while, so he said, “Your Majesty’s meaning is ……”

Zhu Di said: “these days, I see all over the newspaper, there are a lot of things about the situation of the new Japanese policy, it is rumored to be extremely good, and even there is a trend of great beyond my Ming, can be said to have been more than ever.”

Yilungha then said frankly, “This …… slave girl has also heard about it.”

Zhu Di lost his smile and said, “You, a slave girl, are also concerned about this?”

Also lost Ha explained: “Now the major trading houses, there are many, are issued a variety of loose shares, for people to invest, and so earned silver, will land dividends. Because of this, now a lot of military and civilian people, are extremely concerned about this, once upon a time everyone is concerned about, are some anecdotes, now instead of the streets and alleys, are talking about the sale of things. This bonobo new is very popular, and thus …… there are many big business houses, have flocked to, it is rumored that the return is really amazing, so …… the discussion is very strong. The slave girl …… naturally, also heard some rumors.”

Zhu Di showed some interest and said, “Really, there is such a thing? In that case, quite a few of my subjects, I’m afraid, have also earned a lot from this trade, right?”

Zhu Di is not a fool, some things, he is also very clear, but as long as the matter of earning silver, the hundred officials can smell the taste like sharks see blood.

Don’t look at the usual Zhu are hanging silver, but the argument is, who is not so?

Yiluoha laughed awkwardly, “As far as the slave girl knows, indeed quite a few ministers have acquired some loose shares. I heard that in Japan, they all earned.”

Zhu Di suddenly suddenly realized that: “This is no wonder, no wonder this business newspaper, so much praise, hey …… they ah …… covet these small profits, but do not know, may be in the future, these become the heart of my Daming’s trouble. Last year, you this slave girl is to me have reminded, teach me to go out to stop this matter, I have some concerns, now, but some regret too late, so many of the wise, all fall into the hands of the Japanese, and this Japanese ……”

Zhu said this, wrinkled his eyebrows, shook his head, and then did not continue.

Also lost Ha look Zhu Di sad face up, then said: “This …… slave girl also heard, the southeast coast, a lot of military and civilian people, for His Highness the King of Song is also quite non-committal, there are a few ministers from Ningbo, impeachment of His Highness the King of Song all day long, said… …said ……”

“It is said that Zhang Qingjia is connected to the Japanese, isn’t it?” Zhu Di raised his eyes to look at him and said.

Yizhuoha didn’t dare to go on.

Zhu Di pursed his lips, showing a few points of displeasure, then said: “Zhang Anshi where the courage to pass the Japanese? This guy is just confused, he wants to have the courage to pass the Japanese is good, I just think he is as timid as a mouse! He’s a man of honor, but he’s a swineherd, and he’s sneaky in everything he does.”

Also Lost Ha: “……”

Well, it wasn’t a topic he was fit to get involved in.

Zhu Di then said: “just let this go on, is not the way, if the court does not give Zhang Qingjia characterization, I’m afraid that these royal history, but also continue to go on, really may …… will be the pass through the Japanese sit down.”

He frowned and thought about it, then said, “You later, go to the East Palace, and the Prince said, say …… give Zhang Anshi a reprimand.”

Also lost Ha understand Zhu Di’s meaning, such things, the court does not give a statement, then a variety of non-sense will be clamor, instead of the court to give a punishment, is an account.

Once characterized, if anyone continues to use the Japanese as a pretext, it will be really ill-advised.

Yiluoha once again confirmed Zhang Anshi’s position in His Majesty’s heart, there was no jealousy, envy was a little bit.

Envy is also pure envy, Yiluoha didn’t think any more about it, so she immediately said, “Slave servant obeys the decree.”

…………

Zhu Gaoqi got the oracle, and his face was also slightly unsightly.

But had to force himself, barely smiling to cope with also lost ha.

Also lost ha said, “This matter, your highness can be tight, his majesty also said, his majesty is not trying to interfere with the crown prince, just …… things are urgent, so this time, even if his majesty to do a master.”

Yilungha was especially respectful to Zhu Gaoqi.

And Zhu Gaoqi said: “Father’s heart, this palace naturally know, just …… count up, when the Japanese and North Korea country envoys called into the capital, is the palace’s edict, after that, recommending the great sages to them, is also the palace acquiescence. Now, something has happened, reprimanding Zhang Qing, this is not good. Your Excellency, it is better for this Palace to personally go and ask Father for forgiveness.”

Where did Yiluoha dare to stop it, he was busy smiling and said, “This couldn’t be better.”

Also lost ha smiled and promised, but the heart can not help but Zhang Anshi envy and thick a few points. This prince …… is really a little bit of aggression, also refused to teach that Zhang Anshi bear ah.

In this way, His Majesty is more like a strict father, although he also favors Zhang Anshi, but occasionally he will teach him a hard lesson. His Royal Highness, however, is like a loving mother, who is always on his side and always trying to make sure that everything is well taken care of.

Within a short time, Zhu Gaoqi entered the cultural building, bowed down, and kowtowed, “The son of the court has come here to ask for forgiveness.”

Zhu Di raised his eyes to look at Zhu Gaoqi and said, “Is it about Zhang Anshi?”

Zhu Gaoqi said, “Exactly.”

Zhu Di sank his eyebrows and said, “How come you’ve come to ask for a pardon?”

Zhu Gaoqi said: ”The son minister is ashamed, this matter …… is indeed due to the son minister. His Majesty’s several dragon grandsons, in addition to Zhanji, the child minister has always hoped, can protect their well-being, the future divided into overseas, it is best …… to properly some. Thus, it was ordered ……”

That’s an honest account of the causes and consequences.

Zhu Di suddenly, in fact, already understood, so he said, “So the idea hit the head of the Joseon country and the Japanese?”

Zhu Gaoqi truthfully said, “Exactly.”

Instead, Zhu said, “As a result, you stole a chicken and lost it?”

Zhu Gaoqi revealed a hint of embarrassment, but still hardened his head and said, “Yes. This matter is all from the private desire of the son minister, if not, how ……”

Zhu Di did not get angry, but sighed with a few feelings, said: “I work hard, is for their own son, you read, is also for your son. We surnamed Zhu always have to worry about our children and grandchildren. You get up and speak.”

Zhu Gaoqi stood up and bounded his hands to listen.

Zhu said, “This matter ……”

Zhu Di’s hand rested on the imperial case, subconsciously beating the beat as he pondered.

But at that moment, all of a sudden, the drums sounded like thunder.

The sound of those distant drums had actually passed to the Mandarin’s Tower.

Zhu Di’s face was grim when he heard this.

Zhu Gaoqi’s face also changed slightly.

This is the Dengwen Drum set up outside the Noon Gate.

The so-called Dengwen Drum is the drum for sounding out grievances outside the palace, which was set up by Emperor Gao of the Great Ancestor, following the experience of the previous dynasty.

In accordance with the law of Daming, where there is a complaint of injustice, and this injustice is significant, the emperor heard the drums, it is necessary to personally accept, the officials, if any obstruction, will be heavily sentenced.

It’s just that, in general, unusual people don’t dare to run and bang the Dengwen Drum!

On the one hand, there is a manned administration there, and the fact that once you knock it off, it means it’s a thousand times worse.

But this Dengwen Drum, has not been a long time people beat, at this time violently sounded, for Zhu Di, this must be out of the big things.

As for Zhu Gaoqi, this year, it is he who supervises the state, and now there is such a big incident, the Deng Wen drum is knocked, the dynasty and the inside and outside of the country are shaken, which also shows that he is dereliction of duty.

Zhu Di made an immediate decision: “Call the hundred officials, bring the person to Chongwen Hall, I want to accept.”

Zhu Gaoqi’s heart sank as he nodded silently.

On the other hand, heard the sound of the drums of the Dengwen Drum, Wen Yuan Pavilion university professors, also seems to be taken aback, and then very tacitly wait until a eunuch came to summon, then have to go to Chongwen Hall.

Inside this Chongwen Hall, Zhu Di ascended to his seat, and all the officials took their places.

Crown Prince Zhu Gaoqi’s face was a little pale.

And the university professors, as well as many of the ministers and attendants, couldn’t help but be a little worried.

On the one hand, this is really a big blow to the Crown Prince, who is the supervisor of the country. On the other hand, it also made many ministers anxious, who knows, this time will not involve themselves?

Immediately afterward, he saw a man with a disheveled face, still wearing Japanese clothing, being escorted in.

It was just that he was in rags and looked extremely bad.

Originally thought it was a reckless man who did not know what to do, but this person, although ragged, after entering the temple, actually salute as ceremonial, three times nine kowtow, and then kowtow, before saying, “Grass people Cai Min, see His Majesty, long live the Emperor …….”

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows lightly as he immediately sensed something unusual.

He looked around, and the ministers could not help but look at the person called Cai Min one more time.

Because although this person’s appearance is like an ignorant mountain roughneck, but his speech and behavior, as well as his talk, at a glance is not an unusual generation.

“Min Choi ……”

Someone mumbled a recitation, thinking more and more that the name …… sounded familiar.

Zhu didn’t make a sound.

But Jin Chun, the Minister of Justice, came out of the class with anxiety and said sternly, “Where are the people?”

Cai Min said, “It is from Jizhou Prefecture.”

It seems like someone is starting to make an impression on him.

Thus, there was an uproar.

“Is that the same Cai Min who repaired the New Deal Pensieve?”

Cai Min said, “Exactly.”

“Didn’t you already go to the Japanese ……”

As soon as this was said, Cai Min appeared to be extraordinarily excited, and even at this time, suddenly Xiao Ran tears, lost his soul and said, “The Japanese …… Japanese …… are finished… …”

When these words came out, the whole hall was shocked.

Some people are anxious, obviously bought the shares of the merchant bank, and immediately said anxiously, “This bonobo …… is not good, how ……”

Cai Min wailed and said: “It’s over, the Japanese domestic chaos, January before, some people secretly assassinate Zhenyi General missed, Zhenyi General was furious, not yet waiting for him to order the pursuit of the murderer, but the city guards, suddenly rebellion, and there are many warriors, lurked within the town alleys, set fire to the night, and attacked the general’s residence. The generals all night to quell the chaos, kill the night, blood flow into the river, and heard everywhere are up beacon smoke, Daming Hall within, but also by the chaos of soldiers surrounded, grass very lucky, which escaped ……”

When he said that, he seemed to recall all the previous tragic scenes, so scared that he couldn’t help but shiver coldly, this chilling tone, teaching people to be creepy.
