I, Jiajing, Emperor Longevity

Chapter 8 Opening the sea, you have to rely on Hu Zongxian to do it
The Ming Dynasty was able to rule Wanfang, so it naturally had peerless secrets.

And this secret book is the spy organization established by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Lao Zhu started with a bowl, and the people he distrusts the most are officials and scholars at all levels.

Therefore, at the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, he placed a large number of spies in organizations at all levels across the country. These people, as the emperor's eagles and dogs, acted as the emperor's eyes and ears. Accurately and timely conveyed to the emperor's ears.

The secret service organization of the Ming Dynasty was gradually improved, and in the later period, four special service agencies were formed: Jinyiwei, Dongchang, Xichang and Neichang.

Among them, Jinyiwei and Dongchang have the longest history and the greatest influence.

In our impression, this kind of organization is a dark and evil organization run by eunuchs, which specializes in persecuting Zhongliang and telling stories.

In the movie, Cao Shaoqin, the governor of the East Factory played by Donnie Yen, and Hua Yuhuatian of the West Factory played by Chen Kun, are representatives of this type of characters: they are sinister, scheming and secretive, and they have no bottom.

In history, feudal literati hated this kind of spy agencies even more, and their pens scolded factory guards endlessly.

But we can't help but ask: If the factory guards are so unbearable, how many emperors of the Ming Dynasty were fools for more than 200 years?Haven't they been abolished?
In fact, if we study history carefully, we will find that the factory guard system may not be as unbearable as the elite literati said. At least in the Ming Dynasty, their existence was necessary.

In the Jiajing Dynasty, Zhu Houcong was able to steadily rule the Ming Dynasty for decades, and the factory guard was a crucial part.

Without factory guards, the emperor would be deaf and blind.

After Zhu Qi studied with Jiajing for seven days, he received a secret decree and went to Jiangnan.

Although a period of five years has been set for changing rice to mulberry, there must be big flaws in the actual implementation.

As for Kai Hai, "hehe", even if he thinks about it with his ass, he knows that there is one bad thing, that is, making a certain group of people rich, which is a serious problem for the country and himself.

With the opening of Longqing, the Ming Dynasty opened the country's borders along the coast of China for the first time, which led to the rapid development of overseas trade among the people in the southeast coast, and enjoyed a gift from the sea for the Ming Dynasty. At that time, about 3.3 million taels of silver flowed into China.

But who made the money?

Corrupt officials, tyrants from aristocratic families... nothing less than the group of people in the southeast.

And those who perish in Daming are those people from the southeast.

Zhu Qi's trip carries a heavy responsibility.

The person who presides over Kaihai has an even greater responsibility.

And the one who went to the southeast with Zhu Qiyi was the eunuch Feng Bao.

Historically, he and Zhang Juzheng, one inside and one outside, have continued their lives for the Ming Dynasty for decades. In terms of merit, he can be regarded as a capable and virtuous eunuch.

At this time, Prince Yu's Mansion.

Qingliu is discussing the matter of opening the sea.

Zhang Juzheng said firmly: "He is the governor of Zhejiang Province and also the governor of Zhejiang Province. Not only Yan Song, but also the emperor trusts him very much. If someone can persuade him, the matter of opening the sea will be settled."

"Taiyue, a scholar's opinion." Gao Gong immediately dismissed it: "He, the governor of Zhejiang Province, was promoted step by step from the magistrate and Yan Song. It doesn't mean that no tree can be moved. Hu Zongxian's tree The root of the tree is buried deep in Yan Song's mansion, you can't move it even if you want to."

At this moment, King Yu turned his gaze to Tan Lun.

"I think Taiyue's idea can be discussed in depth." Tan Lun continued: "The prince knows, and several adults know that Hu Zongxian once had a close relationship with me, and he still has opinions on major issues. From the Governor's point of view in the past few years, although Yan Song and Yan Shifan have always followed Yan Song and Yan Shifan on the table, he can always be stable when it comes to the overall situation of the court."

Gao Gong didn't take it seriously: "Even so, who is going to win him over? He will listen to us if we don't know each other?"

Zhang Juzheng continued: "Of course we can't let him listen to us directly, but we can send someone to him to let him understand the gains and losses."

"Which person to send?" King Yu was looking at Zhang Juzheng, seeing that Zhang Juzheng's gaze had been looking at Tan Lun, he immediately understood, and turned to Tan Lun as well.

Tan Lun had no choice but to answer: "There is no need to ask, of course I will go. But there must be a position that allows me to stay by Hu Zongxian's side justifiably, so that I have the opportunity to speak to him."

Everyone shook their heads and exchanged glances with each other.

"I think this move can be tried. With Tan Zili by Hu Zongxian's side, a point is a point." Speaking of such a practical point, the second assistant Xu Jie expressed his position cautiously.

"Then let Zili go to Hu Zongxian's side first." Yu Wang stood up with the armrest of the armchair: "As long as Hu Zongxian's conscience can be aroused, the overall situation may not be out of control."

"It can't be just to clean up the situation." Zhang Juzheng became excited, and looked at Tan Lun: "Zili, do you still want to come back after you go?"

Tan Lun was taken aback, and asked back, "What do you mean if you want to come back?"

Zhang Juzheng replied: "If you want to come back, you must start a big fire in Zhejiang, and then burn this fire from Zhejiang to the capital, and burn it to Yan Song and Yan Shifan. If you can't, you will have no face to come back to see the prince, or I fell down in Zhejiang. Think it over, are you going or not?"

"Taiyue's question is good!" Gao Gong immediately stood up, patted his knees, "Either you don't go, or you go, it's not a matter of fighting for a point!"

At this time, Hu Zongxian, governor of Zhejiang Province and governor of Zhejiang Province, was dragged helplessly by Yang Jinshui, the eunuch of Jiangnan Weaving Bureau and chief executive of Zhejiang Shipping Department, to watch silk patterns with a group of Western businessmen in the hall of the Weaving Bureau.

The drums of one note after another are not knocking people's eardrums one by one, but knocking people's heart every time!

Only in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty can such a sound of drums be able to achieve this kind of non-smoky state.

Accompanied by the sound of the hall drum, it is the kind of flute sound that only existed in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. This flute sound is obviously played by the flute master sitting there in front of you, but it makes people feel that it is from the huge From the distant sky above the halls of the

This is one of the greatest art forms in Chinese history, Kunqu Opera.

At this time, what is being played here is the first class of Kunqu opera invited from Suzhou.

The moving melody could not relieve the boredom in Hu Butang's heart.

Last night, he received a secret letter from his teacher.

After reading it, he was sleepless all night.

Finally, Hu Zongxian got rid of the trivial matters and returned to the Governor's Mansion.

Looking at the black and strong man who suddenly appeared in his study, and seeing the bright yellow imperial decree held in his hand, Hu Zongxian straightened his clothes and bent over to kneel down.

"The emperor said, don't kneel!"

"The emperor also said that you, Hu Zongxian, are still required to do the opening of the sea. Yan Song is not your backer, and you Hu Zongxian don't need a backer... I will always look at the southeast!"

…………

In the 40th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, the layout revolved around Kaihai.

In the 12th year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, the entire East revolved around Wang Chongyang.
