General Constitution of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 62 Unintentionally Planting Willows and Willows into Shadows
"Your father has an order, Qing and others go straight to Xi Nei to report~!"

Huang Jin, who had been waiting at the palace gate for a long time, didn't say anything else, and after seeing Ning Jue, he took everyone to Xiyuan directly.

Everything went extraordinarily smoothly.

Looking at the imperial bridge in the distance, Ning Jue became more and more excited until he stepped into the palace.

Only then did Ning Jue realize that even today's Jiajing specially put on a dragon robe and sat on the dragon chair waiting for their arrival.

After singing praises.

Jiajing looked at Ning Jue with interest.

"Ning Qing, what else do you want to play?"

Ning Jue took a deep breath, and said the line that he had rehearsed countless times in his heart.

"Chendu Procuratorate Supervising Censor Ning Jue, please Your Majesty, abolish the ban on the sea, set up a wide range of ships, and take advantage of the sea and the West!"

Originally, Ning Jue thought that what was waiting for him was Jiajing's furious anger.

Unexpectedly, Jiajing looked up at the Fujianese behind Ning Jue.

"Your Majesty, can you second the proposal?"

Ning Jue was startled when he heard this.

What does Jiajing mean, is that it will be directly issued to the cabinet court and then approved and implemented?
"Chen Bing Division gave Shu Ting, Shen, and Ning Jue of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Jiude, Zhou Liang and others also knelt down on the ground one after another.

"Your Majesty, the law of the ancestors cannot be abolished!"

"The ban on the sea is unstoppable. We Fujian people have suffered from Japanese pirates for a long time. How can the imperial court allow Japanese pirates to enter the customs!"

"My father died at the hands of Japanese pirates. Bingxian wants to go to sea, and I dare not agree!"

"..."

Although the words of these Hokkien officials are not as fierce as before, they have already clearly expressed their attitude.

They do not agree to open the sea!
Ning Jue turned around in disbelief, and looked at the officials behind her.

At this time, the astonishment on Jiajing's face was no less than that of Ning Jue.

"Zhou Shangyin, you..."

At this time, Ning Jue was not angry, but stunned, and it was clear that the person who wanted to write the letter with him was Zhou Liang.

Among the people present, which one was not screaming and shouting that day.

Ning Jue didn't know why they suddenly changed their minds.

Zhou Liang kowtowed on the ground, his eyes were red, tears kept falling, he kept talking about how his father died tragically at the hands of Japanese pirates, but he didn't dare to look at Ning Jue.

Ning Jue almost blurted out.

"You tm will think of your father now?!"

"Ning Jue! Father-in-law, scolding his father before driving, do you still have the slightest courtesy of a son of man?!"

Zhou Liang's eyes were red, and he stared at Ning Jue firmly.

Whether his own father died at the hands of Japanese pirates, and why, Zhou Liang knew better than anyone else.

But the Tao family's boat is not visible, and they are all on this boat now.

Zhou Liang has studied sage books since he was a child, and he can die for the people of the world without hesitation when it does not affect his family.

But when faced with the choice between the world and his family, Zhou Liang's choice is still his family.

By opening the sea, Fujian people will benefit and no longer need to live in fear.

But all of this is obviously not in the interests of the Tao family. The Tao family, or the cub behind the Tao family does not want to stand naked in broad daylight like this.

It's just that Ning Jue didn't know about the secrets between them and the Tao family. What Ning Jue knew and saw was that they betrayed him temporarily and stabbed himself in the back.

In other words, they backstabbed the people of the world and their clansmen.

"If the imperial court does not open the sea, the Japanese riots in the southeast will not stop for a day. You, Zhou Shangyin, know it clearly. Why are you pretending to be stupid?"

Zhou Liang lowered his head and gritted his teeth and roared: "The Japanese will open the sea when the Japanese rebellion started. One day, when the people make troubles and the government is disorderly, will my Ming Dynasty also give up the ancestral land?!"

Before Ning Jue could react, Jiajing spoke first:

"Then I will issue an order to select another [-] elite soldiers to go south with Zhu Wan to fight the Japanese pirates?!"

Hearing this, Zhou Liang and the others knocked their heads heavily on the ground, and all of them choked up and said:
"Your father is holy!"

The greed for profit is real, but so is their distress.

In Daming, where the land has been resettled and relocated, the affection between neighbors in the same village is even stronger than that of some distant relatives in later generations.

Every time the imperial court has an additional official army in the southeast.

One more knife was cut on the bodies of their distant clansmen and neighbors.

But they had no choice, because they already knew that their family had borrowed money from the Tao family, and they also had money in the Tao family. After the Tao family floated from the water, waiting for them was not just as simple as getting rich.

Jiajing's face was solemn, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Then fight, I can afford to fight, Ming can fight, one hundred thousand is not enough, I have millions of frontier troops in Ming, Japanese pirates have children and grandchildren, and I also have children and grandchildren, I will accompany them to the end, okay?"

"Your father is holy!"

Zhou Liang and others bowed down one after another, leaving only Ning Jue standing in the palace pavilion, looking very abrupt.

After a moment of silence, Chen Jiude, who was kneeling on the ground, spoke first.

"Your Majesty, Ning Jue has ruined my ancestor's family law. I please follow the imperial edict of Emperor Taizu Gao, and have Ning Jue's whole family copied and beheaded, so as to comfort the spirit of Emperor Gao, my great ancestor!"

"My minister agrees!"

Jiajing's face gradually turned ugly, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Ning Jue, are you guilty?"

Looking at the officials from Fujian who were kneeling on the ground, Ning Jue finally realized what it means to plant flowers intentionally but not bloom without intention.

It was you who co-authored and gave me a ride at the end?

Huang Jin who was standing beside Jiajing quickly winked at Ning Jue.

Huang Jin knew that Jiajing didn't really want to punish Ning Jue's crimes, as long as Ning Jue made a few excuses, the matter would be over.

Under Huang Jin's desperate "expression".

Ning Jue took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said, "Success, plead guilty."

Jiajing subconsciously began to prepare and make muddy water.

"It's good to plead guilty... um, plead guilty?!"

Jiajing couldn't believe his ears, before Jiajing came back to his senses.

Ning Jue threw away the notebook in his hand, turned his head and walked out of the hall.

Chen Jiude stopped Ning Jue suspiciously.

"Ning Jue, where are you going?"

Ning Jue looked at Jiajing Junchen like a fool.

"Didn't you say I was guilty?"

"Ah." Everyone nodded blankly.

"If you are guilty, you should be punished?"

Everyone still nodded blankly.

"I'll go home and die!"

Before everyone came back to their senses, Ning Jue strode out of the hall.

Even the guards guarding outside the hall glanced blankly into the hall.

Your Majesty, is this to block or not to block?
Seeing Jiajing's livid face, Huang Jin hurriedly persuaded: "The emperor calms down, Ning Bingxian's willful people offend Tianyan, and your father must not get angry and hurt himself!"

Jiajing suppressed the anger in his heart and said:

"Did I let him go?! Huang Jin, did I let him go?!"

Chen Jiude launched an attack recklessly.

"Your Majesty, Ning Jue disobeyed the teachings of his ancestors first, and now he is so reckless, it will be impossible not to punish him!"

Jiajing stood up by himself.

"This is a matter before the king! He has his own opinion, and I and all the lovers have their own ideas. He was indignant for a while, and left as soon as he said it. What does Ning Jue think of the court?!"

The tone on Jiajing's face became more and more indignant, but Huang Jin on the side noticed something was wrong.

Why is this charge getting smaller and smaller?

Is it the same crime to violate the ancestral precepts and quarrel with Ting Yi?

Disobeying the ancestor's precepts, if the emperor does not punish, then the emperor is not filial.

This disgrace in front of the king can be big or small, but the emperor himself has the final say.
