Immediately, he saw a flush of color flashing across his face, which was the color caused by excitement.
"Hahaha" Jiajing laughed wildly and said: "Retreat from the court" In fact, when Yang Ming was still on the road, those in the capital who should have known about Yang Ming's arrival in Beijing had already known about it, while those who didn't know about it naturally didn't know about it.
When Jiajing withdrew from the court, the princes of the court class who dispersed also went down to the court in twos and threes.
"Mr.
Yang, Yang Ming has arrived in the capital, what do you think?"
Mao Ji looked at Yang Yanhe as he walked.
"This time he said it was to thank him."
Yang Yanhe smiled, looked at Jiang Mian who was walking behind, and then said lightly: "But do you believe this reason?
Anyway, I don't believe it.
If it's just to express gratitude, you can wait for a while."
Time, why rush to have those hundreds of cars of things at once, I think it’s not that simple.”
"Well, I don't think it's possible to bring some worthless things if you don't simply follow Yang Ming's temperament.
What's more, if you go ashore via Tianjin Guard, if there isn't something interesting in it, I'm afraid I won't be able to afford the Guangdong Navy's freight."
Jiang Mian was thoughtful.
"These things are not what we have to worry about.
Now that Yang Ming has arrived in the capital, the contents of the box will naturally be revealed to the world.
What's more, if you noticed, His Majesty was very happy in the morning.
Presumably the contents inside will not be revealed.
Simple."
Mao Ji thought for a moment and said, "I wonder if you two have thought about something."
"What's going on?"
Yang Yanhe and Jiang Mian asked at the same time.
"Sea ban" Mao Ji slowly spit out a few words.
However, when he uttered these words, both of them couldn't help but be stunned.
In fact, this word has been discussed in the court more than once, but it ended hastily every time.
There is one thing that is the key here, and that is interests.
It is impossible to impress the princes of the court with the slightest benefit, and naturally it is impossible to impress Jiajing.
After all, the sea ban is Taizu’s ancestral system.
If you want to establish a sea ban, you must have considerable interests, so although there are many discussions, they have no effect at all.
Royal study room.
Jiajing invited Empress Dowager Jiang to sit aside.
"Your Majesty, Shu Guanghou Yang Ming has an audience."
Huang Jin stood in front of the two of them with a smile.
He took a look at the memorial just now, but this glance alone made him inexplicably excited.
"Invite him to come in."
Jiajing nodded, and after ordering Huang Jinhou, he said to the Empress Dowager Jiang: "Empress Mother, Yang Ming will be here soon, and he has brought you a lot of good things."
Empress Dowager Jiang sighed.
She didn't care about the gifts.
She felt a little uneasy when she thought about Princess Yongchun.
The princess of a country actually married a marquis as a common wife.
This undoubtedly hurt the royal family to some extent. face.
But now the deal is done, and the raw rice has become cooked rice.
She has no choice but to respond: "That girl Hongxiu is not here."
"Mother, how can Hongxiu come now?
Don't forget that it is the first month of the year, and there are still thousands of miles between the two places.

Even if a woman wants to go to Beijing, you must not allow it.
But since Yang Ming is here, you should take a closer look. , this person is not an ordinary minister, now he is one of us I'm a family member, so don't look down on him when I bring you back."
Empress Dowager Jiang was born in a cold climate.
Although she later became Princess Xingxian and is now the Queen Mother, her ordinary woman's temperament has not changed at all.
Jiajing was afraid She was going to cause trouble later, so she said hello first.
Not long after, Yang Ming was led by two eunuchs to the imperial study room.
"Your Majesty, Yang Ming, has met the Emperor and the Queen Mother."
Yang Ming hurriedly saw him as soon as he entered the imperial study.
However, Jiajing's face showed a bit of suspicion.
It's not because Yang Ming is disrespectful, but it seems something is wrong.
Logically speaking, it is right for Yang Ming to call him Emperor, but it seems that he should call him Mother after calling him Empress Dowager Jiang.
Although there is only one word difference between Queen Mother and Empress Mother, the meanings of the two are different.
One is distant and the other is close.
A world of difference.
Jiajing frowned.
He felt a little unhappy, but he still said to Yang Ming: "Yang Ming, now you marry Hongxiu and you are part of my family.
There are only you, me and my mother here.
You can do whatever you want."
That’s right, there’s no need for the tricks in the court.”
As an emperor, it is very clear at this point.
This is to stop Yang Ming from appearing so raw.
There are some things where the word "love" can cause bad things, but if you make good use of it, it will undoubtedly be a big help.
Especially for a talent like Yang Ming, as long as he is willing to side with the royal family, Jiajing is even sure that he will control the entire court within three years.
"The reason why the emperor's ministers are called ministers like this first is natural," Yang Ming said: "As the saying goes, put public affairs first and private affairs second.
Since minor ministers have received the emperor's favor, they should naturally report their duties first."
"That's not what I need to avoid."
The Empress Dowager Jiang was a little happy when she saw Yang Ming's handsome appearance, but Yang Ming's words undoubtedly offended her a little.
Although it was said that public matters should be put before private matters, they all said yes.
He was so clearly divided into one family, which undoubtedly made her feel that something was wrong with Yang Ming.
"That's not necessary."
Jiajing smiled and said to the Empress Dowager Jiang: "Although it is a state matter, it is okay for the empress to listen.
By the way, I can also learn about Yang Ming's situation in Guangdong.
Hongxiu will naturally go there too."
After hearing Jiajing's words, Empress Dowager Jiang, who originally wanted to avoid it, stopped and sat down on a chair.
However, all the eunuchs and maids in the royal study room withdrew, leaving only Huang Jin waiting at the side.
"Your Majesty, this is my chapter."
Yang Ming handed the chapter to Huang Jin with both hands.
"Your Majesty" Huang Jin took this chapter, then bowed and handed it to Jiajing.
Picking up this chapter, Jiajing flipped through it, but the more he flipped through it, the faster he flipped through it.
In just a few breaths, he flipped through it.
He saw some doubts, some surprises, and more confusion on his face.
He asked Yang Ming : "Yang Ming, why is your chapter so different from the one submitted this morning?"
"The book that the emperor presented to you in the morning is just Huizhou's national taxes for the past few months.
Although it is only a few hundred thousand taels of silver, what you are holding now is different."
Yang Ming slowly explained: "The ones above are just a few hundred thousand taels of silver."

The account is divided into two parts.
One part is the dividends of a person named Huang Yi after deducting the national tax.
In the past few months, Huizhou's salt sales have earned a total of 2.23 million taels of silver.
Therefore, after deducting the national tax of 10%, there are still 2,07,070 taels.
According to the molecule, this amount is 100 taels.
The 10,3500 taels of silver are being transferred to this person named Huang Yi.
I don’t know what the emperor thinks is right."
"One million taels of silver," Empress Dowager Jiang exclaimed.
Jiajing on the side was still calm.
After all, there was a lot of money in the inner treasury now.
He could still get out one million taels of silver, but the situation was different for Empress Dowager Jiang.
He had never seen so much money even back then.
When he was in charge of Xingxian Palace, At that time, she only had tens of thousands of taels of liquid money in her hands.
Now, even though she is the Queen Mother, she actually has even less.
Most of the money she has in her hands is only a few thousand taels after she earns a share, and these thousands of taels have to be taken care of by the palace maids and eunuchs.
The rest is just tribute.
Although the tributes were valuable, they could not be exchanged for money.
She, the Queen Mother, had brothers from her mother's family.
Although she was granted the title of Marquis because she was a relative of the emperor, she was undoubtedly a poor man compared to the established nobles in the capital.
Moreover, it’s not easy to live in Beijing.
Other people’s families are very wealthy.
How can it be possible that the accumulation of tens or even hundreds of years can be regarded as a small salary?
Therefore, the old nobles usually use their salaries as pocket money, but our uncle Yongxing Houji has received his salary to support his family and also spend some money to go out for whoring and gambling.
They say that this capital is a world of entertainment, and he is a A person with good face, even though he is a noble man, is really just that.
Not to mention borrowing money from everywhere, the rules of practice in the government were often published, so it was hard to save some money.
Empress Dowager Jiang also had to support her brothers, so the money was naturally stretched.
As for the Huang Yi that Yang Ming was talking about, she naturally understood that he was talking about Jiajing.
It was really called a mother-son family.
Since Jiajing was rich, she, as a mother, would naturally be rich too.
However, the way she looked at Yang Ming was different at this time.
There was no one in the entire Ming Dynasty who could bring millions of taels of silver to Jiajing in just a few months.
Therefore, the disgust that just arose disappeared in the sound of the one million taels of silver.
"What about this second account?"
Jiajing was very satisfied.
He saw the first amount of money very clearly.
Yang Ming, who was 50% of the money, definitely put the royal family first.
Even though it was only half, he didn't know the other half.
How many people were divided, and Yang Ming had to use the money to feed a bunch of people, so he was very satisfied.
"bump"
Yang Ming suddenly knelt down again and apologized to Jiajing: "Your Majesty, Yang Ming, violated the laws of our ancestors and started shipping privately.
Please forgive me."
Although he said this, before Jiajing could say anything, Yang Ming continued: "The second account is the money that Weichen obtained from selling Sinan ceramic tiles to the Japanese country by sea.
A total of twenty ships were shipped.
The navy A partial force was exchanged for a total of 4,620,000 taels of silver.
These ministers did not dare to handle it privately, so all 4,620,000 taels of silver were escorted back to the capital and are now placed outside Donghua Gate."

"Four.62 million taels of silver" Even though Jiajing had already read the accounts, he was still a little dizzy by the series of figures reported by Yang Ming.
The Empress Dowager Jiang on the side was even more shocked and speechless.
The entire Ming Dynasty, even now, only has a tax of three to four million taels a year, and Yang Ming only dispatched twenty ships.
As for the ceramic tiles, they have long been ignored.
It's just some rotten porcelain pieces.
Nowadays, they are sold everywhere in the capital.
One piece only costs about twenty yuan.
Even if twenty ships are full, how much silver can be used is nothing compared to the 4,620,000 taels of silver.
Just a drop in the bucket.
"I sincerely ask the emperor to punish you," Yang Ming requested again.
"This" Jiajing was not sure to pay attention.
If Yang Ming violated the ban, he was not the only one.
Many royal families were also doing sea trade business, and there were even more other gentry.
However, those people were only fighting in small ways, and Yang Ming was not the only one who violated the ban.
Ming's handiwork was naturally pale in comparison, but when Yang Ming earned money, he didn't squander it privately, but handed the money intact into his own hands.
This crime is not easy to punish.
"Get up."
After thinking for a while, Jiajing looked at Yang Ming and said word by word: "Since you have already said what you want to tell me and you are not an outsider, you don't need to beat around the bush and say it."
Jiajing could see that although Yang Ming said he was talking about guilt, there was no hint of confession in his words.
On the contrary, he seemed to be using this so-called crime to plead guilty.
After hearing what Jiajing said, Yang Ming slowly stood up, bowed to Jiajing, and said: "What I want to say is that although the sea ban has not yet been opened, it is actually in name only.
The so-called sea ban actually only bans ordinary civilians, but Any gentry with some strength can find their way to the coastal areas, including Guangdong, Fujian and other places. , who doesn’t have two sea-going ships?
And since they are sea-going ships, does the emperor think that they are just here to see or fish?
According to my estimate, every year due to sea transportation, our treasury has at least millions of taels of silver in taxes.
This is only part of the national tax.
In addition, due to the maritime ban, the surrounding areas are also extremely unstable.
For example, Japanese pirates or pirates are actually just businessmen from many countries.
They can't get the goods they want to buy, but they want to get some things back, so this profession was born.
Of course, there are also people who really can't survive, then This is also because the local output is indeed very small, even If you can't survive, you have no choice but to take risks.
Therefore, contacting the maritime ban will not only bring huge benefits to the country, but also eliminate Japanese pirates and pirates.
This is naturally an excellent thing for our Ming Dynasty, although it violates the ancestral system.
But it’s not impossible.
Please think twice, Your Majesty.”
"Yang Ming, you are brave."
Jiajing was a little angry, but he was happy in his heart.
Since Yang Ming dared to bring more than four million taels of silver to Beijing, he must have been fully confident.
What he has to do now is to go to the capital.
All the ministers in the country just gave him a ladder to step down.
"The guilty minister asks the emperor to punish him."
Yang Ming also knew Jiajing's thoughts and was more respectful at the moment.
Jiajing immediately shouted: "Huang Jin, imprison Yang Ming in Dali Temple for custody, and then we can pass on the decree to the court."
The two of them worked together so flawlessly that the Empress Dowager Chiang was frightened.
They were obviously a family, so why did they suddenly change their faces and take someone else for granted?
Jiajing sent Empress Dowager Jiang back to the West Palace with a livid face, and immediately went to the Jinluan Palace again.
Although his face was livid, he felt happy in his heart.

This time hehe The bell of Donghua Gate rang.
Officials entered the palace one after another.
In fact, they are all discerning people.
Since Yang Ming has entered Beijing, they naturally know that something big has happened, so they all wait outside.
As expected, after waiting for more than half an hour, Jiajing rang the bell.
This is to say that it is going to happen again.
It's morning.
Although it is a bit unreasonable, no one thinks it is wrong s: Today’s chapter is about sending cigarette butts to the new book The World of Martial Arts.
