.,

In fact...

Many people find it strange.

The emperor had only one son, the prince, so it was only natural that he relied heavily on the prince.

On this matter, His Majesty is clearly interested in the Prince's opinion.

This has some ulterior motives.

Liu Jian also noticed something, so he said: "Your Majesty, what the Duke of Qi said is not unreasonable. And such a memorial from the Yang family in Bozhou is also absurd, but... the old minister thought that it was just because of a memorial that he issued an order. They even had the idea of ​​going to war. This is not a blessing for the country, not to mention that the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River suffered heavy losses. It is reasonable for a gentry family like the Yang family to feel sorry for them. Now the imperial court has used heavy codes against the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. Then, in the future, we can't just be tough, but need some appeasement, only softness with strength, suppression and appeasement, is the most compromise way."

After all, Liu Jian is a veteran of several dynasties.

His words are still very pertinent.

Blindly suppressing people will lead to a dead end, fearing that it will backfire, forcing people to choose to die together, dealing with them is like fishing, loosen when it should be loose, and be tight when it should be tight.

Emperor Hongzhi paused thoughtfully, and then said: "Then according to Qing's words, let's forget it?"

"This incident has already happened, and it is impossible not to cause discussion. Since this is the case, why not..."

At this time, someone stood up, and everyone looked, but it was Xie Qian, a cabinet scholar.

Xie Qian continued: "Then why not discuss in the court discussion, what is right and what is wrong, it will be self-evident."

As soon as this remark came out, even Liu Jian couldn't help being surprised. He turned his head and looked at Xie Qian in astonishment.

Isn't Xie Qian's move to put fuel to the fire?

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help being stunned. He looked at Xie Qian and fell silent.

Originally, this matter was thought to be very unfair to the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River.

Those gentlemen in the south of the Yangtze River must be full of grievances, not to mention how many wives were separated during the migration process.

Now that the imperial court has decided to carry it out, it has come to this point. First, the Yang family of Bozhou suddenly played, and then I heard that there are many criticisms in Huguang and other places. This matter, according to the prince's intention, is to suppress all these things. Some ignorant people punish.

But now it's all right, the cabinet scholar actually asked the court to discuss it openly.

Emperor Hongzhi became taboo, and he really felt embarrassed.

Xie Qian is an old minister, and even his right-hand man. The policy of Jiangnan gentry was decided by Emperor Hongzhi when he was in Jiangnan. He was straightforward and did not discuss with the cabinet. Xie Qian's attitude...he didn't take it seriously.

But who would have thought...

Emperor Hongzhi then said slowly, "Xie Qing's family is also from Jiangnan, right?"

Xie Qian's expression was very bad, but he immediately bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, I am from Yuyao, Shaoxing Prefecture, Zhejiang Province."

Emperor Hongzhi said, "Did Qing's people go to Lu Song?"

Xie Qian shook his head: "Some of the minister's clansmen have gone, and some have sold all the land at a low price in order to stay in their hometown."

Emperor Hongzhi said: "So, the Qing family is very unhappy about this?"

Xie Qian took a deep breath and kowtowed: "My minister is dead, I... If you say you don't like it, you shouldn't. After several dynasties, the old minister has been loved by His Majesty, and he has been appointed as the prime minister. He knows my land of Ming Dynasty very well. The harm of annexation has reached the point where if it is not resolved, there will be no delay. Therefore, the rent-free Xishan bank is good governance. There is absolutely no dispute about this point. , is also exhausting, Liu Gong and Li Gong can see this point, please learn from your Majesty."

Only then did Emperor Hongzhi look a little better, and then he said: "Then...you seem to have resentment?"

"Yes!" Xie Qian nodded honestly.

In fact, this... is also the reason why Xie Qian was able to gain the trust of Emperor Hongzhi.

If he is happy, he is naturally happy, and if he is not happy, he is also unhappy.

Express your attitude openly and aboveboard.

As far as Emperor Hongzhi is concerned, everyone has different ideas, which is understandable, as long as you don't want to be one way before others and another way after others.

Emperor Hongzhi said patiently: "Then, what's your complaint?"

Xie Qian said sternly: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with exempting the bank from rent. In order to have more rent-free land, I have no objection to relocating gentry, but in this process, it is too rough. Your Majesty is the father of the tenant farmer, but it is also Father of the gentry, what kind of place is Luzon? Thousands of miles apart, the imperial court sent them away as soon as they said they would. So many people have gone overseas and are helpless, among the natives, precarious. Didn't they put them to death? The old minister couldn't sleep for many days when he thought of their tragic situation... Why was the old minister not like them at the beginning? Now I think of their suffering of being displaced, they are unaccompanied and panic In such a state of mind, old minister... I feel that His Majesty is wrong in dealing with the aftermath."

He was as straightforward as ever and spoke righteous words.

Emperor Hongzhi's face flushed slightly.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao said: "The imperial court has its own laws and regulations to relocate the people. Why can the ordinary people migrate, but the gentry can't? Those gentry, the imperial court spent countless manpower and material resources to relocate them. Why? In the end, it ended up killing them."

Xie Qian said seriously: "His Royal Highness has his own opinion, but the old minister also has the opinion of the old minister. This is why the old minister begged His Majesty to conduct court discussions. I hope that His Majesty can listen to the suggestions of other ministers. Among these ministers, there are Many people, their relatives have also gone to Luzon. The so-called dual listening means that if the court...doesn't ask about it, it will cause resentment instead. You might as well...just listen to it. If there is something wrong with it, you can do it Make corrections."

After all, Zhu Houzhao couldn't argue with Xie Qian, so he was dumbfounded for a while.

But Emperor Hongzhi felt depressed in his heart.

He can ignore other people's words, but Xie Qian... the friendship between monarch and minister for so many years...

What's more, what Xie Qian said was not completely unreasonable, and he never overturned the rent-free policy of Xishan Bank, nor did he have any criticism of the migrating gentry. He just thought that the method of migration was a bit rough.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao who was speechless for a while, and seemed to have been paying attention to the words and deeds of the prince.

"Prince, I want to hear what you think, whether it is court opinion?"

Zhu Houzhao's chest rose and fell, and he seemed to be angry: "Father, even if it is a court discussion, the sons and ministers think there is nothing to be afraid of. If something is right, it is right. No matter what is said, it cannot be said that what is right is wrong. Migrating gentry , is the decree issued by the emperor, but it was completed by Xishan's hands. The Zhenguo Mansion also contributed a lot of effort, and the son-in-law also spent a lot of thought on this matter. The son-in-law... agrees to the court discussion and wants to argue with them personally understand."

Liu Jian and others all looked at Zhu Houzhao... showing sympathy.

His Royal Highness... is still too young.

Do you know what a court meeting is?

You really naively want to argue with them?

Just pick one at random, one finger can crush His Highness, okay?

Of course, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince proposes a knife, it may be different. All of this is based on the premise of everyone's reasoning.

Emperor Hongzhi also couldn't help being speechless, he couldn't understand how the prince was immediately fooled when he got agitated.

But that's the end of the story...

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Since that's the case, then...choose a day and discuss it with the court."

Today, he wanted to personally ask the six chief ministers whom he relied on so much, how would he like to call himself the emperor if he was the crown prince, but he didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would be killed halfway.

At this time, it is obviously inappropriate to talk about passing the position.

Therefore...there was no inquiry.

After all the ministers retreated, Emperor Hongzhi left Fang Jifan alone.

Fang Jifan looked at Emperor Hongzhi with a smile: "Your Majesty does not know..."

"The prince seems to be too strong." Emperor Hongzhi said worriedly, frowning slightly.

"His Royal Highness is doing the right thing. Only by sticking to one's own opinion and not being swayed by other people's words is the most important thing for a ruler." Fang Jifan said: "If not, you will change the order from day to day. , this... What good is it for the country? Any measure in this world, some people will gain and some will lose. There has never been the best of both worlds. Your Majesty... His Royal Highness is as determined as iron and will not be easily shaken. This is something to be thankful for ah."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded thoughtfully; "Then the Qing family thinks that those gentry in Lu Song..."

"The relocation of the gentry in Luzon was proposed by the minister; it was also approved by His Majesty; and the specific relocation measures were taken care of by the Zhen Guofu and the Xishan Bank. Even the emperor and grandson participated in this plan. The minister thought... no There's nothing wrong with it, and there's nothing to blame."

Emperor Hongzhi's face softened, and he said with a smile: "Zhen, the crown prince, the emperor's grandson, and you Fang Jifan, we are considered to be in the same boat... Well, I'm thinking about it."

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty is wise..."

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand in disgust: "Go, I'm tired."

Fang Jifan glanced at Emperor Hongzhi resentfully, should he change his routine in the future?

…………

Luzon.

Liu Yi, governor of Luzon, felt his head hurt!

He was the Secretary of the Nanjing Household Department, but he was relegated to Luzon to be the governor. In this life, I am afraid that there is no hope for his official career.

Before coming here, he was in extreme pain, but here... he is actually not bad.

The governor's yamen is an auxiliary building of the former governor's mansion, and it can be regarded as a carved beam and painted building. The facilities here are all available, thanks to the Spaniards.

Not only that... the natives here are actually quite peaceful.

The land of the Spanish manor owners was transferred to the gentry, and the gentry found that the land here was extremely fertile, not only that... the local natives were especially easy to support, and they were willing to farm if they were given a little rent.

The sunshine here is abundant, so much so that people find that here... crops can be double-ripened easily.

And there are countless kinds of melons and fruits, which are inexhaustible.

The same land, with less input, produces more output.

The gentry brought their families and began to settle down. At the same time, they hired tenant farmers in their fields and began to irrigate...

Oh no, there's no need to irrigate here at all, because... water is always there.

The ships of the Four Seas Trading Company arrived, bringing a large amount of supplies, and also purchased a large amount of agricultural products. In this way... what can be enjoyed in the south of the Yangtze River can also be enjoyed here.

This... this is a good place!
