I became a mysterious person in textbooks after being pushed by the emperors

Chapter 71 Wang Shibei sets the date for the Southern Barbarians

Taihe Gate.

Early in the morning, all officials gathered together again.

Everyone was whispering to each other, and compared to before, there were undoubtedly many fewer ministers at the moment.

There is no way, after the cleaning up of the Japanese pirates on the southeast coast, and Tao Zhongwen's involvement, now almost one-third of the entire imperial court has been swept out.

Even two of the cabinet ministers were implicated and imprisoned.

The personnel are naturally not the same as they were at the beginning.

Of course, although a large area was cleaned, the impact on the entire court was still not great.

The vacated position was quickly filled by a newcomer.

The Ming Dynasty is not the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, but there is no shortage of officials. To be more precise, there are many officials in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty at this moment.

Even most officials can only wait because there is no real shortage.

Military officers are like this, but civil servants are not much better.

Under the large-scale cleaning at this moment, many people have undoubtedly been given opportunities.

Because of this, Zhu Houcong's evaluation of the emperor has also improved a lot.

"His Majesty is here!"

Lu Fang's voice sounded.

Soon, the chatter around them suddenly stopped.

"Long live Your Majesty!"

Accompanying Zhu Houcong into the hall, the ministers soon greeted him.

Then we entered the process.

"Your Majesty, your imperial censor Zhang Song is impeaching Yan Song!"

"He governs the south, is greedy, and persecutes officials recklessly. I implore him to be brought down and punished."

A figure jumped out directly.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the entire surrounding fell silent.

Zhang Song looked around in a daze, but the imaginary ministers following him did not appear.

However, one by one stood still, as if they hadn't heard at all.

A minister even came out soon.

"Your Majesty, Manlajia sent an envoy to the Ming Dynasty six months ago to ask for help, but the Chen Hongyi people attacked its territory and killed its people."

There was a clanging sound.

"Oh, there is such a thing?"

"Manlajia is a vassal state of our Ming Dynasty. How dare the Hongyi people do this? This clearly shows that they do not take our Ming Dynasty seriously."

Zhu Houcong pretended to open his mouth unexpectedly, and his expression showed a hint of anger at the right time, and his words were also tinged with anger.

And this sentence immediately made a famous minister below look at each other in blank dismay, with a somewhat unresponsive expression.

When did His Majesty care so much about a vassal state far away in the sky?

And if they remember correctly, it seems that Manlajia has not paid tribute for almost a hundred years.

But since Jiajing spoke, everyone present had to express his opinion.

"Your Majesty, the Hongyi fanzi is indeed abominable. I suggest that an envoy be sent to reprimand him immediately, and that his right to trade with the Ming Dynasty be suspended."

A figure's eyes lit up even more, and the words spoke sonorously.

As for whether his goal is to reprimand the Hongyi people, or to stop trading, only God knows.

"My minister agrees!"

Soon another minister spoke.

As for the words of the previous censor Zhang Song, it seemed that everyone present chose to ignore them.

Just kidding, the national treasury has directly increased by 500 million taels this year, who dares to transfer Yan Song back at this juncture.

"Everyone, just suspending the right to trade may not be able to demonstrate the authority of our Ming Dynasty. The Hongyi people actually invaded our Daming vassal state, and they dared to invade our Daming territory in the future. I suggest that you send troops to conquer immediately."

"Manlajia is thousands of miles away from our Daming, and the conquest will not happen overnight, and after the conquest, I am afraid that this will happen again. I heard that His Majesty Chengzu established the Old Port Propaganda Department in Nanyang in the past. I suggest that my Ming Dynasty can Restore the old Hong Kong Propaganda Division to promote the prestige of the Ming Dynasty."

Gao Gong's voice was sonorous and powerful, but all eyes couldn't help but focus on him in an instant.

Many people looked at me as if they were stupid.

But Gao Gong didn't care at all, and couldn't help but think back to the scene where the emperor met him before, and what he told him.

And even thinking about it now, Gao Gong couldn't help but be excited.

"Okay, Gao Aiqing's words are polite!"

And listening to Gao Gong's words, Jiajing seemed to be completely moved all of a sudden, laughed and nodded, and directly agreed.

At this moment, a famous minister finally reacted.

"Your Majesty, no!"

One person spoke quickly, looking a little anxious.

"Why not?"

Zhu Houcong looked over instantly, and a cold look appeared on his face.

The figure who was about to speak just now burst into a cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, Master Gao said that Manlajia is thousands of miles away from my Ming Dynasty. Although Grandpa Cheng set up the Old Port Propaganda Department in the past, it was only a few decades ago that the Old Port Propaganda Department was declared abolished. We will restore it again. I am afraid that there will be suspicions of wasting people and money.”

Another figure hurriedly spoke and added words.

"Your Majesty, it is true!"

"It's just a little Hongyi, let's just scold him!"

Soon, a famous minister also spoke.

Of course, these people don't necessarily have selfish intentions, but they also have public intentions.

After all, such a major move was still in a place thousands of miles away that they could barely control. They really couldn't see the benefits.

On the contrary, Ming Dynasty needed to mobilize a lot of manpower and material resources, and many people felt that it was not necessary at all.

I am also worried that Zhu Houcong behaves the same as Zhu Di.

Yongle almost scared them all.

I don't want to do it again.

It's just that they stopped it obviously, and Zhu Houcong wouldn't stop doing it just because they stopped him.

"I have decided on this matter. As for the money and food spent, it will be paid by the Municipal Shipping Department."

"How can the power of our great Ming Dynasty be violated by a small red barbarian?"

Zhu Houcong snorted coldly.

Words make decisions directly.

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty at this moment is not the emperor of the later period, the authority of the emperor is still there, especially during the Jiajing period, the authority of the emperor is even more important than the previous ones.

With Jiajing directly making up his mind, no one can stop him at all.

Even the chief minister of the cabinet is the same.

In this case, this policy was quickly passed on.

At the same time, the Daming Navy also began to gather.

On the other side, the Manlajia envoy was stunned after receiving the news.

They did arrive in Kyoto half a year ago, but no one cared about their request for help, and they were just left alone in the Ministry of Etiquette.

I was almost desperate.

Many people have even fallen in love with Daming's life.

Unexpectedly, an accident came at this moment, and Daming wanted to seek justice for them.

Not only to seek justice, but also to help them send troops. This time, everyone was a little at a loss.

Thought I heard it wrong.

It wasn't until several times of inquiring that they were sure that they had heard correctly.

Daming is indeed going to send troops.
