It has to be said that compared to the current Shang Ren, Du Ning's rank is more than one level higher.
In the whole court, the only one who could subdue Wang Wen, a stubborn old man, was the emperor on the throne.
Du Ning handed the steps directly to the emperor and asked the emperor to intervene in person.
As expected, Wang Wen no longer held on to him, snorted softly, and stepped back into the queue.
The protagonists all left the stage, and other ministers also moved back to line up. The turmoil was temporarily subsided.
After a short period of calm, Shen Yi, the Minister of Revenue, came out and spoke.
"Your Majesty, opening up mutual trade can stop wars and ensure border peace for the country. For the court, it can enrich the national treasury and ease financial pressure. The Ministry of Revenue has been discussing this for a long time. This is a great good thing. "
Immediately afterwards, Yu Qian, Minister of the Ministry of War, also stood up and said.
"I agree that the imperial court has been fighting for years and needs time to recuperate. Once mutual trade is opened, the border will be safe. Even if the war breaks out again in the future, our Ming Dynasty will be fully prepared, which is a move that will benefit the country."
It was still the two Qingqing who came out to continue their stand, but this time, although there were low voices in the court, no one stood up to raise objections.
However, after careful observation, it can be seen that there are still many ministers in the court with hesitant expressions on their faces.
It's just that with the fierce collision just now, everyone hesitated and no one stepped forward.
But whenever there are concerns, someone will always raise them.
After a while, Jiang Yuan, the cabinet scholar, came out cautiously and spoke.
"Your Majesty, what Shen Shangshu and Yu Shaobao said are reasonable, but we still need to be concerned. The relations between various Mongolian ministries are tense and the situation in Yibei is turbulent."
"What's more, the mutual trading issue is very complicated. Many terms need to be carefully considered and negotiated with the Mongolian envoy. It does not happen overnight."
"Now my envoy has been sent to Wala and is negotiating to welcome the Emperor back. Therefore, I believe that this matter can be postponed until the Emperor returns to the court before it is too late to implement it."
This is the attitude towards serious discussion.
Pei Lun and Peng Shi were just provoking conflicts.
Jiang Yuan's words actually expressed the feelings of many court officials.
Shen Yi is right, and Yu Qian is right too. If the mutual market can be opened up in the way expected, it will indeed be a good thing for the country and the court.
However, the only remaining question is whether it will pose a threat to the Supreme Emperor.
In fact, no one can be sure of this, but for the sake of stability, the bosses definitely hope that nothing will be better than silence.
If this problem cannot be solved, even if it can be implemented, there will always be doubts in the minds of most courtiers.
So, under the attention of everyone, a certain heavenly official came out again.
Seeing Wang Wen's old face approaching step by step, Jiang Yuan subconsciously took two steps to the side.
But even so, Mr. Wang still spoke in his usual style, not to save face.
"What Mr. Jiangge said is wrong. If we don't open a mutual market, why don't we send the Supreme Emperor back first?"
Jiang Yuan's expression froze, he turned his face sideways, and moved half a step further away from Wang Wen, indicating that he had no intention of quarreling with him.
Fortunately, Wang Wen is not unwilling to restrain himself. Since Jiang Yuan is not targeting him, he will not make enemies for no reason.
After rebutting Jiang Yuan, Wang Wen turned to the emperor and said.
"Your Majesty, you are also cunning and greedy. You have held the Supreme Emperor hostage for a long time. First you asked for money, silk, gold and silver, and then you falsely ordered the Emperor to seize our city. Even when the Zijin Pass was defeated, you never sent it back to the Supreme Emperor. This shows that he is ambitious and has been threatening the Ming Dynasty for a long time."
"Such thieves are hard-pressed to satisfy their desires, and their tenderness is of no use. Only by showing them power can they be awe-stricken. If the Emperor is kidnapped, I, the Ming Dynasty, will worry about everything and be careful in everything. If they are restrained by them, they will fall into decline. It’s a thief’s treacherous plan.”
"The Ming Dynasty has been stronger than the Mongolia for a long time. After the defeat of Zijin Pass, its vitality was severely damaged. Moreover, the Mongolian tribes were eyeing it. It was a time of internal and external difficulties. If he had a little bit of wisdom, he would have known that at this time, the only way to surrender to the Ming Dynasty was to send him to the Ming Dynasty. Only by returning it to the emperor can you protect yourself."
"I believe that the mutual trade is just a warning to Ye Xian, urging him to return to the emperor as soon as possible. Otherwise, under attack from both inside and outside, Oara will be in danger. In this way, in order to protect himself, Ye Xian will be willing to do so. Send it back to the Emperor."
"Otherwise, if the Ming Dynasty is slightly weak, and after civil engineering, it will be careful about what it does first, and it will press harder and harder, and the return of the emperor will be far away. Please think twice."
Being able to get to this point, Wang Wen is not just a venomous person.
He would not lose to anyone in a serious court debate or an upright reasoning.
However, his views are different from those of most courtiers.
At this time, Wang Ao from the cabinet also stood up.
Like Wang Wen, he was promoted to Liaodong, so his interests in this matter are the same.
"Your Majesty, I think what Master Tianguan said is reasonable. Although we, the Ming Dynasty monarchs, hope to welcome the Supreme Emperor back as soon as possible, we cannot compromise on everything because of this. Whether there is a mutual agreement or not involves the great affairs of the court. Such important matters cannot be unfounded. Shaken by worry."
"If you have any requests first, my court will discuss it separately, but you can't be hindered by them in everything because you are worried that they may be dissatisfied. In this way, our Ming Dynasty will be unable to move forward."
Then, Chen Yi from the Metropolitan Procuratorate also came out and spoke.
"Your Majesty, the imperial court has sent an envoy there, which shows the sincerity of our Ming Dynasty in welcoming back the Emperor. If we do not want to be at odds with the Ming Dynasty, we should respectfully send him back to the Emperor. If he refuses to do so under the guise of mutual trade, Returning it can only show that he is ambitious and has no intention of negotiating peace with the Ming Dynasty."
"Kang Ye is cunning, but he is not acting recklessly. The Supreme Emperor is a noble man and has a distinguished status. He also dares not to harm the Supreme Emperor. Therefore, I think it is inappropriate to worry about this and delay the government's affairs."
The entire court became quiet.
The boss below glanced around. Good guy, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of War, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Cabinet all had supportive opinions.
Could it be that they are really worried too much?
At the same time, Jin Lian from the Criminal Department also blinked.
What's going on?
Why did he suddenly feel that he was isolated?
Could it be that this group of people had a private meeting without telling me?
You know, Chen Xun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, is not in the capital, and Hu Xi, the minister of the Ministry of Etiquette, often sleeps awake. Apart from these two, he is the only one who has not expressed his position.
Just when Mr. Jin was hesitating whether to follow Yi Bo Feng or not.
The emperor on the throne spoke.
"Since all the ministers agree on the matter of mutual trading, the Ministry of Household Affairs will take charge, and the Ministry of Personnel and Honglu Temple will coordinate to formulate a charter and start contacting the Mongolian envoys."
The emperor spoke with jade words and the sound came down.
Shen Yi, the Minister of Household Affairs, Hu Hui, the Minister of Rites, and Qi Zheng, the young minister of Honglu Temple who was temporarily in charge of the affairs of Honglu Temple, all stepped forward to receive the order at the same time.
Then, the emperor spoke again in the midst of everyone's attention.
"As for the Supreme Emperor, I naturally look forward to welcoming him back as soon as possible. Once there is a chance, I will try my best to fight for it. However, as the ministers said, I must be cunning first. If the mountains and rivers are not exhausted and there is no way out, I will not be willing to send him back easily. Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, please do not be complacent because of the victory at Zijin Pass. You may think that you have no strength to counterattack. If you give in too softly, it may appear to be beneficial to the emperor. In fact, you are letting your own desires come first, making him greedy and unbridled, and bullying our great Ming Dynasty. It will not be returned to the Emperor."
"That's it for today, retreat!"
