General Constitution of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 63 Longqing Switch

Ning Jue who walked out of Xiyuan didn't know anything about what happened behind the palace, only feeling refreshed.

Just when Ning Jue was walking towards the Meridian Gate.

Only then did he discover that outside the cabinet office not far from Zuoshun Gate, there were two slightly dark-skinned officials in fifth-rank civil official robes kneeling and kowtowing towards the cabinet.

"I would like to ask Boss Yange to open the door of convenience, and let me see Junfu later."

The official speech of the two was a bit lame, but it didn't look like the North Korean envoys, but more like they came from Guangxi and Qiongzhou.

"Yan Ge Lao Ming Jian, Annan Metropolitan Commander is also under the rule of my son of Ming Dynasty, and we are all ministers of Ming Dynasty!"

Yan Shifan stood impatiently outside the hut and reprimanded: "How many times have I told you that my father is not in the hut at the Meridian Gate, but in Xiyuan! What's more, as usual, the tributes for the Spring Festival everywhere are handed over to the Ministry of Rites. Father will see you one by one, can you come over?!"

"You really don't know the etiquette to be a Nanman!"

Yan Shifan closed the gate of the hut in annoyance, but the two Annan colleagues still knelt outside the hut and refused to get up.

Ning Jue looked at the scene in front of him, and murmured with some doubts: "Annan Metropolitan Commander, this name is a bit new."

After reading for a while, Ning Jue came back to his senses.

"Annan?! Isn't that Cochin?! How did Annan become the commander-in-chief? This looks more loyal than Daming's courtiers!"

Ning Jue just sighed in his heart. Although he always felt that something was weird, he didn't think too much about it.

It wasn't until Ning Jue stepped out of the Meridian Gate that he realized the seriousness of the problem.

Something is wrong with this!

It so happened that Ning Jue saw Gao Zhong at the gate of the palace in the distance, so he quickly stepped forward and directly grabbed Gao Zhong's arm.

"Eunuch Gao, what's going on with Annan's Commander-in-Chief?"

Gao Zhong was taken aback by Ning Jue, and after hearing Ning Jue's question clearly, Gao Zhong heaved a sigh of relief and smiled wryly, "Ning Bingxian, how can our family know what happened to Annan's Commander-in-Chief? You need to ask the cabinet secretary. Mr. Ge."

"What happened to the Commander-in-Chief of Annan, isn't it King Annan? How did he become the Commander-in-Chief of Annan?"

Gao Zhong was startled when he heard this.

"What else can I do, inside, inside."

Hearing this, Ning Jue's heart tightened immediately.

"When was it included?"

"Xin... Mao Butang of the Ministry of War in the Chou Nian year, please, His Majesty Zhu Zhu approved it in the Ren Yinnian year."

Year of Renyin!
It wasn't until this moment that Ning Jue realized that something was wrong.

Annan is the distribution center that the Ming Dynasty Merchant Ships can't get around when sailing to the West!
Zheng He made seven voyages to the West, seven out and seven back, and stopped at Annan [-] times. After returning from his first voyage to the West, Zhu Di sent troops to the south to collect all the seventeen prefectures of Annan's five prefectures.

Thinking of this, a chill hit Ning Jue instantly.

Ning Jue also remembered a piece of historical material that he had neglected.

In the first year of Longqing, after Prince Yu changed Yuan Dynasty, the first memorials approved were Qi Jiguang's northern tune to Jimen, and Yu Dayou's western tune to Guangxi.

Then it was opened in February of the first year of Longqing, and a Yuegang whose throughput could not meet the needs of trade was born.

At this point, Jiajing, who died on the fourteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, had died less than three months before, and the situation in the southeast had completely reversed.

A bold idea emerged from Ning Jue's mind.

The person who really wants to open the sea has always been Jiajing!

Zhu Wan, Hu Zongxian, Tan Lun, Qi Jiguang, and Yu Dayou were all sent by Jiajing to turn the tables in the southeast.

The people who really obstructed Kaihai were waiting for Jiajing to die, and then went to entangle with the next foolish emperor. In the end, both sides took a step back, and Longqing switched.

Ning Jue froze in place.

If this is the case, then the so-called "Fujian and Guangdong open the sea" and "Qingliu forbidden sea" parties in the court are just two chess pieces, and the real chess player against Jiajing is someone else.

The powerful families in the southeast want neither to open the sea nor to ban the sea, but to maintain the stable and unstoppable state of Daming's thousands of miles of sea.

But after being shocked, Ning Jue finally realized what was wrong.

Jiajing is the one who really opened the sea, so what he said just now wasn't...?
Ning Jue suddenly raised his head to look at Gao Zhong in front of him.

"Gao Gonggong, I still have something to see Junfu, so I take my leave."

Hearing this, Gao Zhong raised his head and stood on the spot and asked, "Ning Bingxian, come over here, we forgot to tell you something."

Ning Jue walked up to Gao Zhong suspiciously.

"What's the matter, Eunuch Gao?"

Then Gao Zhong pointed meanly at the inconspicuous brick crack under Ning Jue's feet.

"Ning Bingxian, there are rules in the palace. If you pass through this gap, you will have to report again after entering."

"You tm..."

Ning Jue can't wait to slap Gao Zhong.

But seeing the two guards with big arms and round waists behind Gao Zhong, Ning Jue finally took his hands back.

It's better not to do business that can't be killed and can't be beaten.

....................................

In Xiyuan.

Just when Jiajing was still in a stalemate with Zhou Liang and others.

Teng Xiang hurriedly ran into the palace with a memorial.

"Father, the Southwest hastened to play."

Jiajing frowned, as if he had caught a life-saving straw.

"Huang Jin, the Supervisor of Rites drafted an order to fine Ning Jue with one year's salary, so that he can reflect on himself!"

Zhou Liang and the others wanted to speak again, but Jiajing didn't give them a chance to speak.

"What's wrong with Southwest?"

Perhaps because of the guilt in their hearts, Zhou Liang and the others did not make too much entanglement. After knocking to the ground, they left the palace one after another.

Seeing Zhou Liang and others leave, Jiajing was relieved.

"Teng Xiang, you did a good job, thank you."

Teng Xiang was overjoyed when he heard the words and fell to his knees with a "plop".

"Thank you, my lord."

After all, Jiajing signaled Teng Xiang to leave.

Unexpectedly, Teng Xiang looked at Jiajing.

"Father Jun, you... haven't read the playbook yet."

Jiajing raised his head suspiciously.

"Is something really wrong with Southwest?"

Teng Xiang hurriedly said: "Guangdong Commander Yu Dayou hastened the matter for [-] miles. Annan Metropolitan Commander Mo Fuhai died, and Annan Commander attacked the Metropolitan Commander. Mo Fuhai's younger brother Mo Zhengzhong has gone to Qinzhou to seek refuge. And take Annan."

The corner of Jiajing's mouth twitched unnoticed.

It's broken, and the reward is lost.

Jiajing hurriedly took the memorial, and after pondering for a long time, he nodded.

"Reply to Yu Dayou to treat Mo Zhengzhong with courtesy as a commanding envoy. It's still early, let this group of rebellious officials and thieves wait a little longer, and make a decision after the crown prince's coronation ceremony next year."

"Here."

After Teng Xiang left, Jiajing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when Jiajing wanted to make fun of Zhu Zaiyu's "Master Ning" for his ineffectiveness.

Behind the screen not far away, Zhu Zaiyu's somewhat confused voice also sounded in the hall.

"The unicorn in the sky is the original species, how can the ants in the cave escape."

"On the day of Taiping's return, I will untie my battle robes with my husband."

After realizing Jiajing's true intentions, all the puzzles in Zhu Zaishun's mind were finally sorted out completely.

Zhu Zaiyu came out from behind the screen in a daze, and looked at Jiajing in disappointment.

"Isn't the father's conquest of Annan also preparing for the opening of the sea?"

Jiajing was silent.

"So the real major event in the Renyin Year was never the palace change, but the Annan Minzoku, maps, and surrender tables presented by Mo Dengyong, the governor of Annan in the first month of the Renyin Year."

In the 20th year of Jiajing, Mu Chaobi, Duke of Guizhou, and Mao Bowen, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, conquered 12 wolf soldiers in Guangxi and Yunnan, and sent troops from the three routes to Annan.

So far, the only thing that can hinder the ban on the waste sea is the "empty" ancestral motto in the court hall. It only needs a court meeting, or even a court meeting.

It may be that a certain playbook written by Mordenyong, the commander-in-chief of Annan of the Ming Dynasty, will completely pierce the window paper.

This was the first time Zhu Zaiyong saw his father Jiajing like this, and it was also the first time Zhu Zaiyong was so disappointed in Jiajing.

"But can't father and emperor say the words of abolishing the ancestors' precepts and sharpening the new law?!"

"Are you sure you want to be that stupid king who killed ten rooms in the southeast?!"

For a long time, everyone told Zhu Zaiyu that his father was a rare wise and holy king in ancient times.

Until today, Zhu Zaiyu discovered the absurdity behind his father for the first time.
