Chapter 2038: The Time to Defeat

A few savvy businessmen were eating in Jinyiwei.

A big table of good food and good wine.

Shen Yang stood in the yard, and the people behind him were reporting: "Those traveling merchants exchanged information with each other, and they collected a lot this time..."

“Money can blind people’s eyes.”

Shenyang knew that a lot of information was bought with money. Those traveling merchants travel around the world, and what they like most is to inquire about all kinds of information, and then exchange them for money or peace.

This is a way for Jin Yiwei to obtain information, and those merchants are also unscrupulously selling information from countries along the way in order to exchange goods with the Ming Dynasty.

"Sir, they went to the palace first, and then stayed in the East Factory for three days before coming back."

Shen Yang's body stiffened, and the voice behind him continued: "Sir, the news has just spread from the palace that His Majesty intends to expedition to Harlequin in the next few years. Before that, His Majesty had already learned that Rou Charming was about to make a move, and the ministers unknown……"

"Halie is not a great enemy. If the Ming Dynasty guards its power, then Hallie will not be able to threaten the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years."

The scar on Shen Yang's face twisted and he said: "Your Majesty is playing chess, and all the ministers are chess pieces."

"Sir, what about us?"

"we?"

"We are His Majesty's fingers."

…

"Two people in Dongchang were tortured and killed. This is a shame for the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Zhanji summoned the ministers to discuss the matter and expressed his anger straight to the point.

"This is Hallie's provocation against Ming Dynasty!"

As soon as these words came out, even if Meerqian came to Beijing to plead guilty at this time, it would be of no avail.

The Lord humiliates the minister and dies!

After an angry speech, someone said: "Your Majesty, if Harie is not a minister, you should send someone to scold him."

Zhu Zhanji glanced at this man and said, "Send someone to wait and be tortured and killed again?"

Zhang Fu left the class and said: "Your Majesty,

Back then, the Japanese country tortured and killed the Ming envoys. Last year, Yingzhou found the people who did it... and they were executed! "

How could those people still be alive? Zhang Fu was probably talking about their descendants.

But the monarchs and ministers present took it for granted.

The revenge of ten lifetimes can be avenged especially!

This is what the sages said and is widely recognized by everyone.

Zhu Zhanji didn't like sitting. He felt that sitting in that chair was like being tied up and unable to be free.

The gazes below are like invisible ropes, with different meanings.

So he stood up and said: "The evil intention has been revealed, we must attack it!"

"Your Majesty, I think we should take measures slowly..."

"Your Majesty, the laborious expedition is very expensive. I think the Ming Dynasty should cultivate and recuperate for the future."

…

After a while of commotion, another group of ministers began to come out to refute. The two sides argued hard and quoted scriptures from time to time. Later, the battle became fierce and all sycophants and traitors came out.

The sound became louder and louder. Yang Rong came out of class and scolded him, and the officials stood with their hands tied.

Zhu Zhanji's eyes were cold and he said: "If Emperor Wen had listened to what you said back then, please wait a minute. Now there is a large army gathering outside the wall!"

Zhu Di did too many major things back then. There were many people who opposed the Northern Expeditions, but he suppressed them all.

Now it seems that Zhu Di is really far-sighted, reflecting the increasingly short-sightedness of those ministers.

…

Fang Xing didn't come. He wanted to come, but Zhu Zhanji asked someone to tell him that he was waiting for news at home.

"There have been undercurrents in the DPRK recently. His Majesty has been hampered a lot in doing things. This is going to be a blow! If you go, you will distract the attention of the ministers."

Xie Jin is currently writing a book, but he refuses to publish the content.

So he became more refined, and felt more and more that he had been shrouded in the light of wisdom.

The sun in this season makes you feel slightly warm, but don't let the wind blow, otherwise you might as well hide at home to keep warm.

The sun shone on Xie Jin's head, seeming to have a halo.

The two of them were in the courtyard at the moment. Fang Xing rubbed his eyes and said, "Prestige always has to be established slowly. In fact, it's not a problem that His Majesty wants to go on an expedition to Halle. The key is that those people have been looking for opportunities to fight back. Your Majesty might as well just give them Give them a chance and see how they do it.”

"That is."

Xie Jin said: "You have ruined their jobs. If you don't rebel, it's a TOEFL. Are they not allowed to use other methods to fight back? That's a tyrant, and tyrants never end well."

"So many people! I feel numb just thinking about it. If His Majesty were twenty years older, this matter would never be feasible and he would not agree."

Zhu Zhanji is full of energy at the moment. If he were twenty years older, he would probably start from the perspective of stability when thinking about problems, and would like to advance slowly instead of being awakened by the storm of this trip to Jinan.

"Halie is far away. If a large army goes on an expedition, it will take more than half a year on the road, and the baggage can drag down the march..."

"Not Hallel."

Fang Xing's words made Xie Jin fall into deep thought. Later, he suddenly realized: "Could it be... Yili's trick? Cut off the hand that Hallie stretched out towards Daming..."

Fang Xing nodded and said, "Your Majesty is probably going to summon me into the palace right away."

…

In Nuan Pavilion, when Fang Xing arrived, Zhu Zhanji was looking at the map.

"Jinan... I want to wait until it is stabilized before promoting Shandong."

"good."

Fang Xing knew that the series of changes in Jinan had made Zhu Zhanji wary. He could force the implementation, but the consequences would be unstable.

Once there is a recurrence in Jinan, the whole Shandong will be in turmoil.

At that time, let alone reform, we should consider how to stabilize the country.

And Fang Xing did not think of promoting it to the whole Shandong immediately, "First stabilize Jinan, then those people will be lucky, Jinan will probably have several relapses, suppress it!"

Fang Xing's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said: "Jinan is stable, this is the rear area. The gentry in Jinan can cancel the preferential treatment, so what about the gentry in other places?"

"Public opinion... How about that court newspaper?"

"See Ming Pao? Yes, the old gentleman is not a person who sticks to the old ways. On the contrary, he has a strong ability to accept new knowledge. At present, he has accumulated a lot of articles, just waiting for the printing to be in place, and he will start to spray, no, fire cannons."

Zhu Zhanji said with a strange look: "Before the reform, public opinion comes first, the role of the court newspaper... the plain language is very good, and many of those scientific children can read, and then it will be slowly spread."

"Yes."

When Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi were in power, suggestions similar to newspapers would never be allowed, and both emperors would be afraid of the power in them.

And even if the court newspaper was published, the final direction would definitely be a million miles away from what Fang Xing expected.

"We need to explain the reform to the people clearly, let them know the harm of surrender, and the prospect of a tax system, and finally win over the people, so that those people will be isolated and either follow the tide or be defeated by the tide."

Winning over the people, this is the trick Fang Xing analyzed to Zhu Zhanji many times at that time.

"The people cannot continue to be ignorant, and the court newspaper is the best enlightenment. Various news about the Ming Dynasty are authoritatively released. Gradually, they will have a direct understanding of the Ming Dynasty, and then..."

"Then the concept of the country is formed and strengthened?"

Zhu Zhanji smiled. Fang Xing told him many things about this, which seemed too metaphysical at the time. After he ascended the throne, he realized that this was an urgent matter.

"An old man said something to me back then..."

Fang Xing remembered what the old man said back then. He slowly recalled and said: "We have lived here for generations, working from sunrise to sunset, and except for the Rongdi, we are...what other tribe do we want?"

This is a kind of pride!

"Recognition. The Ming Dynasty needs the recognition of the people. We should share the people's feelings when we fail and cheer for our victories. If millions of people are like one, then we will be successful in everything we do!"
