Zhu Yunye was very satisfied with the performance of the officials.
He knew that his prestige had already been established.
So, Zhu Yunye threw out a bombshell.
"I have decided to reopen the sea ban!"
As soon as he said this, the civil and military officials who had just been shocked by Zhu Yunye said,
I can't be steady anymore.
They all raised their heads and stared at Zhu Yunye.
Zhu Yunye did not show any weakness and waited for them to go back.
An official immediately stood out.
"Your Highness, the ban on the sea is a national policy personally set by His Majesty."
"It's to prevent the invasion of the Japanese pirates from the southeast."
"Taisun actually wants to reopen the sea ban."
"May I ask what position the Great Sun has placed His Majesty in?”
The Ming Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety.
Therefore, this official directly brought up Zhu Yuanzhang.
Moreover, the meaning behind his words was very obvious.
The decree of the sea ban was set by Zhu Yuanzhang.
You're his grandson, so you naturally have to abide by it.
Besides, Zhu Yuanzhang was not dead yet.
You can do this,
You're simply treasonous!
The rest of the officials also echoed,
He said that this was the national policy set by His Majesty.
It cannot be changed,
Even if he wanted to change it, he would have to wait for His Majesty to return before making a decision.
Zhu Yunye looked at the officials coldly.
Some of them sincerely supported the ban on the sea.
These are all loyal people to Zhu Yuanzhang and Ming Dynasty.
It was just that their vision was not long-term enough.
However, they were all loyal officials.
Some people colluded with the interest groups in the southeast.
Ever since Zhu Yuanzhang set the policy of banning the sea,
In the southeast coastal area, smuggling gangs began to appear.
They colluded with officials,
Breaking through the layers of blockades along the coast,
Smuggling Ming's things overseas,
In order to seek high profits,
Then, with the money he earned,
To bribe higher officials,
Or they could give money to those scholars who could not afford to study.
Let them pass the examination,
Then, he tied these people firmly to his chariot.
To make it easy for them to smuggle,
Gradually, they formed a group of interest groups.
From the imperial court to the local government, every link was opened up.
Their people were everywhere!
If the sea ban is lifted,
The interests of this group of people would be damaged.
They would naturally object strongly.
This cake was only this big.
Once the imperial court lifted the ban on the sea,
There would be other people coming in to share with them,
This was naturally something they did not want to see.
Zhu Yunye looked coldly at the group of people who strongly opposed it.
If he didn't know,
I thought they were really loyal to Da Ming.
"Hmph, you have a sanctimonious face and a belly full of thieves and prostitutes!”
Zhu Yunye curled his lips in disdain.
Fortunately, the ban on the sea had just been lifted.
These interest groups were far less powerful than the middle and late Ming Dynasty.
It's just a prototype.
Zhu Yunye knew this very well.
That was why he had thrown out the matter of lifting the ban at this time.
As more and more people stepped forward,
The noise in the court also became louder and louder.
No matter how loudly the chief eunuch shouted, it was useless!
Unfortunately,
Zhu Yunye sneered in his heart.
He had already asked Yu Huatian to investigate these people thoroughly yesterday.
Who is loyal to think for Ming?
Whoever colluded with the smuggling interest groups in the southeast,
Zhu Yunye knew everything in his heart!
He was really a loyal minister of Great Ming!
"Qian Zhong!"
Zhu Yunye spat out a name.
The official named by Zhu Yunye was stunned.
Then, he immediately stood up and bowed to Zhu Yunye.
"Your subject is here!"
"I heard that you were a second-class scholar in the 20th year of Hongwu?”
Hearing Zhu Yunye's words,
This official named Qian Zhong,
A smug look flashed across his face.
Guo Chao's selection of officials was very strict.
To be able to pass the Jinshi examination was already a very amazing person.
Not to mention, he's a second-year scholar,
Qian Zhong replied proudly,
"Great-grandson, I was ranked sixth in the 20th year of Hongwu!”
"Not bad, not bad at all!"
Zhu Yunye nodded and said,
"But why did I hear that your family was poor since you were young and you couldn't even afford lamp oil? Then where did you get the money to study?”
Hearing Zhu Yunye's words, Qian Zhong's expression changed.
There was no longer that smugness.
"Let me tell you!"
"You're sponsored by a wealthy businessman. He gives you money every year to buy books and study."
"After you obtain an official rank, you promised him that you would definitely repay his kindness after you obtain an official rank!”
"Even if the money this person sponsored you with was obtained through smuggling!”
"After you passed the examination, not only did you not stop his behavior, but you also took advantage of your position."
"Help him smooth out his relationships in the court. Yes and no?"
As Zhu Yunye interrogated,
Qian Zhong's face gradually began to break out in cold sweat.
In the end, he actually sat on the ground.
I can't stop trembling."
Zhu Yunye looked at him in disgust.
"Where is Yu Huatian?"
A figure emerged from the darkness.
"This servant is here!"
Only then did the crowd see clearly that a eunuch had suddenly appeared in the crowd.
"Capture this disloyal Qian Zhong and throw him into the imperial prison!”
"This servant will obey!"
After saying that, he asked a few eunuchs to drag Qian Zhong, who had turned into a pile of mud, away.
Qian Zhong desperately wanted to shout,
But because he was trembling too much,
She couldn't say a word.
The officials in the imperial court no longer had the arrogance from before.
All of them were as silent as cicadas in winter.
Zhu Yunye did not intend to let them go.
Instead, he said a series of names.
Yu Huatian had already investigated these people.
Every time Zhu Yunye read out a name,
One of them knelt on the ground with an ashen face.
Then, Yu Huatian would get people to drag them down to the imperial prison.
Waiting for Zhu Yunye's decision,
After a long time,
Zhu Yunye no longer read out names, and the court had become much more relaxed.
"After investigating these people, punish them severely along with the people behind them!”
"This servant will obey!" Yu Huatian left.
Only the officials who had survived the disaster were left behind, secretly rejoicing!
