At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 142 Use the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son

Zhu Qizhen's eyes revealed an uncontrollable excitement.

This Tang Xinggu is very enlightened, yes, a child can be taught!
Among the officials, Peng Qing and Bei Lin looked at each other, seeing the same question in each other's eyes.

Didn't the matter of opening the sea have been agreed to be brought up by Qin Tianjian?

I prepared a set of arguments overnight last night, why was it preempted by someone today...

Seeing the indignation of the ministers, the two of them didn't know whether they should stand up and express their approval.

Beilin looked up and took a peek, but saw that the face on the dragon chair was not calm, and seemed quite surprised by Tang Xinggu's actions.

Could it be... Isn't this person the emperor's babysitter?
However, Tang Xinggu's actions were beyond everyone's expectations. Qingliu, who was full of civil servants in the hall, was about to face the emperor head-on. Who would have imagined that the vanguard general on his side would directly surrender to the enemy!

Such an act would deal a great blow to their morale.

Zhu Qizhen saw how fierce the reaction of the ministers was, and finally came to his senses, and said: "All my lords, please be calm and don't be impatient, and let Tang Qing's family finish what they have to say."

As soon as these words came out, the officials became a little quieter, and then many people murmured in their hearts again, why does the emperor look so calm?
Could it be that this was originally negotiated?
Everyone became more and more aware that there was something tricky about it, and they became more impatient in their hearts. They just wanted to kill Tang Xinggu's apostate thoughts in the bud.

So, there were still a few officials shouting: "Your Majesty, you must not be deceived by Tang Xinggu. The sea ban is an ancestral system, so don't speak nonsense..."

Zhu Qizhen immediately lowered his face, and scolded: "I want you gentlemen to be at ease, and don't be impatient. When Tang Qingjia finishes speaking, are you gentlemen trying to resist the edict?"

Seeing the emperor's anger, these people calmed down completely, and then, countless resentful eyes aimed at Tang Xinggu, as if they planned to kill him with their eyes.

Tang Xinggu was unmoved in the slightest, as if he had been prepared for the current situation.

Today I am standing on the emperor's side, isn't it just a war of words, if you don't agree to argue, who is afraid of whom!
"Your Majesty, the reason why I came up with this idea is definitely not a whim, but a lot of deliberation."

"I can't see the deliberation, I only see the deliberation!"

Xu Bin, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately retorted: "Tang Yushi, you are deeply favored by the emperor and don't want to serve the country to the emperor, but you say such rebellious words, and you want to trap the emperor in disloyalty. Situation, what kind of thoughts do you have?"

This guy was good at opening his mouth, and immediately raised Tang Xinggu's proposal to the level of deceiving the emperor.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone strongly agreed with it, and once again accused Tang Xinggulai, saying that his statement was completely disregarding the reputation of the emperor, and it was a grandstanding, which really deserves no punishment.

Looking at their momentum, it seems that Tang Xinggu should be pulled outside and killed with a knife just because of this sentence.

Zhu Qizhen wanted to stop it at first, but on second thought, if he wanted to open the sea, the ministers would have to pass this hurdle. Since Tang Xinggu is willing to be a pioneer, it is better to let him try the depth first. shot.

Facing Xu Bin's attack, Tang Xinggu remained calm. Even though the opposition was already so intense that they even started shouting and killing, he still stood there firmly.

"According to Xu Shaoqing, if you open the sea, the emperor will be disloyal and unfilial?"

"That's natural!"

Xu Bin replied aggressively: "The sea ban is the family law of my ancestors in Ming Dynasty. As a descendant and minister, how can I disregard the rules of my ancestors?"

"Xu Shaoqing, you are so courageous!"

Tang Xinggu suddenly turned his face down, and reprimanded loudly: "How dare you slander the late emperor in the face of the emperor, what is your intention?"

"I...how did I slander the late emperor? Don't spit blood!"

Xu Bin's tone was flustered, as if he didn't know where he said something wrong.

"Dare to argue?"

Tang Xinggu was aggressive and started to attack.

"Then let me ask you, who ordered the Three Treasures eunuch to sail the treasure ship seven times to the west?"

As soon as this sentence was said, Xu Bin was so choked that he almost vomited blood.

Emperor Yongle sent Zheng He on seven voyages to the West, and today, the last voyage is only 20 years away.

He obviously forgot about this, and now he was easily caught.

Tang Xinggu was unreasonable, and continued: "Why did Emperor Taizong send fleets to sea several times, and today, if the emperor wants to follow suit, is it also a violation of the ancestral system?"

These words really silenced all the officials.

That's Emperor Taizong, who would punish ten clans at every turn, who would dare to provoke him?

Naturally, no matter what others have done, it is correct.

At this time, everyone couldn't help feeling lingering fears. Sure enough, Tang Xinggu came prepared, and actually thought of using Emperor Taizong as a shield. This move is really cruel!
Seeing that Tang Xinggu had the upper hand, everyone understood that they had met a strong enemy today, and after exchanging glances, someone stepped forward.

This person is none other than Tang Xinggu's immediate superior, Wang Wen, the right capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

"My Majesty, Emperor Taizong did send fleets to sea several times, but after all, it was decades ago. It was reasonable for Emperor Taizong to do so, but His Majesty must not break the rules of the ancestors."

These words are already a little unreasonable. There are some things that your ancestors can do, but you can't.

Tang Xinggu immediately said with a smile that was not a smile: "According to Mr. Wang, do you want to say that the times change and the situation changes?"

"That's right, the times are different, how can we generalize?"

"Okay, then I would like to ask you a question, why can't the court of today change with the times, and insist on following the rules of the forbidden sea established a hundred years ago? Couldn't the time change and the situation change in this matter?"

But Tang Xinggu didn't intend to show mercy to Shangguan at all, and just chased and beat him fiercely.

"This……"

Wang Wen suddenly lost his temper. Tang Xinggu's move is called using the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son. At the moment, he is at a loss for words, and he doesn't know how to refute it.

All the Qingliu in the hall were still aggressive at first, but seeing Wang Wen's defeat, they didn't know how to refute.

Seeing that he had taken the initiative, Tang Xinggu was immediately cheered up, taking advantage of the silence of the officials, he continued to talk.

"At the beginning, Emperor Taizu made the policy of banning the sea only because of the need of the situation. But now, after a hundred years, everything is different. How can the road to prosperity and strength of the court be cut off because of a ban a hundred years ago? Besides, we have been saying , Daming is rich in the world, but now it doesn't even go out to the sea. Isn't it a joke? If the ban on the sea is lifted, it can not only fill the national treasury, but also make our Ming country more powerful than the world, so there is nothing to gain. How can we not carry out such a harmful practice? This is what I say from the bottom of my heart, and I hope the emperor will learn from it!"
