Daming: Is There Imperial Examination Fraud At The Beginning? I Cry As A Candidate During The Test

Chapter 67 Li Shanchang Joined Forces With Liu Bowen To Remonstrate, And The Proud Zhu Yuanzhang Sai

Chapter 67 Li Shanchang joined forces with Liu Bowen to remonstrate, and the proud Zhu Yuanzhang said: It turns out that you two don’t understand sometimes!

Zhu Yuanzhang has accumulated power for a long time.

After he announced these four national policies, although the ministers felt vaguely that something was wrong, none of them dared to stand up and oppose them.

"Retreat from the court——!"

The eunuch's shrill voice echoed above the cantilevered beams of the hall.

All civil and military officials exited the hall.

In the corner of the palace gate, several ministers gathered together and discussed.

"What's going on? Why did the emperor suddenly initiate drastic reforms and formulate four national policies at once?"

"The first three policies are okay, but the last policy..."

Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Zhu Di from the corner of their eyes and quickly closed his mouth.

Zhu Di's face was full of pride, and there was wind under his feet as he walked.

I feel happy in my heart.

Dao Yan's plan is indeed good.

As expected, my father allowed me to expand outward.

As soon as he stepped out of the palace gate, a subtle and noisy sound fell into his ears. His ears twitched slightly, he turned his head and glanced at the minister in the corner of the palace gate, then withdrew his gaze, got on a sedan chair and drove away.

As soon as Zhu Di left, Ji Shanchang, Liu Bowen and others walked out of the palace.

"Master Li, Master Liu!"

"Please stay!"

These ministers stepped forward and said.

Among these people are Hu Weiyong and Yang Xian.

"Master Liu, do you know why the emperor suddenly issued so many national policies?"

the officials asked.

Liu Bowen stroked his beard and shook his head.

He actually didn't understand what was going on.

"What about Mr. Li?"

These officials looked at Li Shanchang.

Li Shanchang also shook his head.

He frowned.

To be honest, he had no idea what kind of medicine Zhu Yuanzhang was selling in his gourd, and why he suddenly issued so many national policies.

Officials below should also take action.

A single move affects the whole body.

And the fourth national policy...

These ministers looked worried.

"What a surprise, the emperor suddenly came up with so many national policies...

Hu Weiyong secretly glanced around, and after seeing no one else, he lowered his voice:

"After making such a big reform, I can see through the first three of these policies. The emperor wants to open up the sea areas, no longer prohibit maritime trade, and does not hinder the development of commerce."

"However, in contrast, businessmen's taxes must increase with their income."

“The emperor wants to build an invincible fleet at sea that can protect the Ming Dynasty. After the sea areas are released, it can prevent foreign fleets from invading and protect the Ming Dynasty’s sea areas and merchant ships.

"The first three strategies can develop the economy, increase treasury revenue, and enhance Ming Dynasty's maritime strength."

"But the most important thing is the fourth policy."

Everyone's expressions were astonishing.

Li Shanchang brushed off the talkative Hu Weiyong.

He knows all this.

Liu Bowen must also know.

However, the two of them did not say much, as they did not expect Hu Weiyong to be so outspoken.

Although Yang Xian was at odds with Hu Weiyong, he could not help but agree with Hu Weiyong at this time.

"The emperor allows the vassal kings to expand outward and have their own vassal state."

"It is nothing more than the enfeoffment of the Western Zhou Dynasty, allowing the princes to own the vassal states."

"The end of the Western Zhou Dynasty.""

"Everyone knows it."

Everyone's expressions became serious.

They naturally knew the fate of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

The Emperor of Zhou allowed the princes to have their own vassal states and expand outward. Who would have thought that the princes would become stronger and stronger, and even colluded with forces outside the Central Plains. The Emperor of Zhou was killed, and the Western Zhou Dynasty finally perished.

This is a painful lesson.

"Does the emperor want to repeat the mistakes of the Western Zhou Dynasty?"

Yang Xian frowned.

Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen both changed their expressions slightly.

"It seems that we can no longer sit idly by and ignore this matter."

"Master Li, can you go with me to meet the emperor?"

Liu Bowen looked at Li Shanchang.

Li Shan long stroked his beard and said:

"Then let's go together."

Although they had different political views, they were loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

They see no problem with the first three national policies.

But the last one.

Allow vassal kings to have the right to attack other countries.

They can no longer sit idly by.

If the vassal king becomes powerful, the Ming Dynasty will be in chaos.

Li Shanchang remained calm on the surface, but his brows furrowed even more tightly.

Inside, I was quite anxious.

He also made a lot of contributions to the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

There is also his hard work in this.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang coming up with this unreasonable national policy, he must dissuade him.

Otherwise the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed.

Originally, he wanted to meet Zhu Yuanzhang privately tomorrow, but since Liu Bowen invited him to go to the imperial study room to meet Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shanchang went along with the flow.

With more people, the overall situation will naturally be greater.

And what they want to dissuade is Zhu Yuanzhang, the god of murder.

Even if he is convicted or killed, he still has a companion.

Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang went to the Imperial Study Room to meet Zhu Yuanzhang.

Yang Xian, Hu Weiyong and others closely followed the two court bosses.

A group of important officials of the imperial court stood outside the imperial study room, "The imperial court driveway:

"We want to meet the emperor."

"We have something important to discuss."

"Excuse me, father-in-law, please go and report it."

"My lords, please wait a moment."

The eunuch hurriedly entered the imperial study to report.

Royal study room.

The lush vines on the wall peeked out from the open window, bringing a different kind of vitality to the room.

Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on a chair with a memorial in his hand.

Under review and approval.

His brows were furrowed.

The Ming Dynasty is full of wastes waiting to be revived.

Especially the economic situation.

He only hoped that after opening up the sea and supporting commercial trade, the Ming Dynasty's economy would become prosperous and those merchants would be able to cut leeks for him.

Anyway, when the sea is opened, Ming Dynasty will only need to collect various taxes from merchants without having to bear the risk of long voyages.

Guaranteed profit without loss.

He just needs to reap the benefits.

While Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about it, the eunuch came in and reported:

"."Your Majesty, Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen and other adults are outside the palace and want to see the Emperor."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately guessed why they came.

"Let them in."

"yes."

The eunuch brought Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang and others in.

Zhu Yuanzhang was all smiles and said with a smile:

"My dear friends, why do you want to see us?"

He pretended to be confused, pretending to understand.

He looked like he didn't know what Liu Bowen and others were going to do.

He had just announced so many policies in the court. If these guys didn't come to him, he would feel that Liu Bowen and others were inactive and disloyal to the Ming Dynasty, and would instead scold them severely.

Now that Liu Bowen and others are here, he is actually happy.

This proves that Liu Bowen and others have the Ming Dynasty in their hearts.

They care about Ming Dynasty.

Yang Xian couldn't help but stood up first and persuaded in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, the fourth policy you mentioned just now, which allows vassal kings to attack other countries, is absolutely not feasible."

"If this is the case, the vassal king will definitely become powerful."

"It is not conducive to the stability of Ming Dynasty."

"I hope the emperor can withdraw this national policy!"

.(Hao Wang Hao).

Hu Weiyong and others also opened their mouths to persuade.

Zhu Yuanzhang was cheerful and seemed not to care at all what Yang Xian, Hu Weiyong and others said.

He turned to look at Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang.
