Borrow the day to change the day

Therefore, Zhong Jinwei spoke out the strategy he thought of, and after Zheng Zhilong made some supplements, the complete plan came out.

Emperor Chongzhen made a decision immediately, and immediately sent Zheng Zhilong as an envoy to Japan.

Li Wei secretly opened his eyes in the forgotten corner, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty almost seized overseas territories while talking and laughing.

When I was discussing life at sea before, I only saw the benefits in front of me and cared about every detail.Thinking about it now, it's ridiculous.

Thinking this way also strengthened his determination to do a big business.

Emperor Chongzhen sat facing his courtiers, so he could naturally see that Li Wei was still there.After waiting for Zheng Zhilong to leave the palace, he said to Li Wei: "You go down, I will send someone to find you, teach you some words, and you have to be careful when you speak in the vassal king's meeting, understand?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Knowing that he had passed the hurdle of concealing the Spanish route, Li Wei quickly responded to Emperor Chongzhen's words.

His own servant led Li Wei out of the Wenhua Palace and arranged for his next mission.

Inside the Wenhua Palace, Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the cabinet, played to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the exploration ship has returned now, and the large supply points have been confirmed. I think it is possible to issue a notice to the two capitals and the thirteen provinces?"

The notification he mentioned refers to the treatment of criminals.

Upon hearing this, Hu Yingtai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, quickly echoed, "Your Majesty, I second the proposal. The Ming Dynasty has a vast territory. The notice should be sent out earlier, so that the prisoners in distant provinces can be escorted to Tianjin in time."

The vassal feudalization of North America had already begun before.Especially as soon as the recent training course was opened, its content was inevitably spread.

Besides, in the past, vassal kings basically died of old age in their fiefs, and few vassal kings were allowed to enter Beijing.

But now, not only all the vassal kings have come to the capital once, but now many vassal kings have come to the capital.This unusual move has also aroused speculation among local officials.

Therefore, the matter of the feudal king's feudalism in North America cannot be kept secret for long.Now that the preparatory work has been almost done, it is naturally time for the announcement.

Zhong Jinwei is the initiator of this national policy, and his opinion is very important.Therefore, before making a decision, Emperor Chongzhen consulted Zhong Jinwei and said, "Master Zhong, what's your opinion?"

When Wen Tiren spoke, Zhong Jinwei was already thinking about it.At this time, when Emperor Chongzhen asked himself, he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I think it is better not to announce the feudal king's feudalism in North America for the time being. But you can first announce the exile of criminals overseas to build a large supply point. Let’s just say it’s pioneering.”

"Marquis Zhongxing is worried about Westerners?" Xu Guangqi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, asked Zhong Jinwei thoughtfully.

Zhong Jinwei looked over at the sound, nodded to Xu Guangqi and said, "Yes, before the reconstruction of the Daming Navy was completed, Daming's power at sea was too weak. Not only Westerners, but even those pirates were difficult to deal with. If the announcement of the feudal Wang feudalized the national policy of North America, and those people are likely to be moved by the smell."

"Marquis Zhongxing made sense. I didn't think carefully before. Therefore, I propose to do what Marquis Zhongxing said!" Wen Tiren was open-minded, and immediately admitted his own shortcomings and changed his suggestion.

Now Zhong Jinwei is not only authoritative in dealing with captives, but also has the right to speak in matters at sea.For most Ming officials, because of their ignorance about the sea, they could only agree with Zhong Jinwei's suggestion, so they all agreed.

Emperor Chongzhen was willing to accept all suggestions that were beneficial to the vassal king's feudal North America.Seeing that the ministers below have reached an agreement, he happily said: "Okay, I am very happy that all the ministers and workers are so careful, then follow what Master Zhong said, and don't announce the final national policy for the time being, and take the first step. Do it first."

If the folks want to guess, let them guess.As for guessing badly at that time, you only need to keep silent, and you don't need to do anything to refute the rumors, lest the court lose its prestige in the future.After all, the vassal king's feudal North America will eventually be implemented.

When Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, it was past noon, and many ministers' stomachs were growling, thinking that the meeting could be adjourned.

However, Emperor Chongzhen was young, sat there still, and was immersed in national policies, so he didn't feel hungry.

The eunuch who was in charge of his diet had already arrived outside the gate of Wenhua Hall, but seeing that a high-level meeting was being held in the hall, he didn't dare to come in to disturb him, and waited outside the hall for the meeting to end.

At this time, I heard the silence in the hall, looked at the sky, worried about Emperor Chongzhen's dragon body, and prepared to enter the hall to remind.

Unexpectedly, someone spoke again, and it was the famous Zhongxinghou in front of the emperor, so he had no choice but to retract the foot that had just been stretched out.

I only heard Zhong Jinwei say to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I have one more suggestion regarding this first step."

When the civil servants in the Wenhua Palace saw it, they secretly groaned in their hearts, but no one dared to speak out, so they could only secretly pray to the Marquis of Zhongxing that this was the only thing, and it would be better to just say a word.

"Master Zhong, tell me." When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, only Zhong Jinwei was in his eyes, and he went to check the words of other courtiers.

Zhong Jinwei said with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, although all kinds of criminals are exiled overseas to do different jobs because of their different crimes. But after all, it is too far away. If there is an unjust case or something, it will be too much to suffer. Therefore , I suggest that before the criminals are sent overseas, organize personnel to carefully review whether their crimes are true."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded again and again, and he could understand this point.Because the list of death row prisoners can only be executed after the ink pen in his hand ticks it off, but he just goes through a process, and the ink pen ticks it off casually.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen cannot be blamed for being sloppy, because it is impossible for him to go through the case files one by one and check for suspicious points. All these tasks are left to the subordinates.

But if the people below are sloppy, they will be killed unjustly.

Therefore, Zhong Jinwei's suggestion is still necessary, and a second review is at least a matter of serious and responsible attitude.

"Okay, Master Zhunzhong's play." Emperor Chongzhen immediately agreed.

Then he turned to Cao Yubian, the censor of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and said: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate arranged for the censor to inspect the criminals sent by the two capitals and the thirteen provinces, and after confirming that there is no wrongdoing, they will be exiled overseas."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cao Yubian was overjoyed and quickly agreed.

This is equivalent to giving the Metropolitan Procuratorate another power to exercise the responsibility of supervision.

Seeing that this matter had been properly arranged, Zhong Jinwei felt relieved, and his stomach suddenly groaned.Looking at the sky, I realized that it seemed to be past the meal time.

He stood relatively close, so the sound of his stomach was heard by Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help laughing and said: "Master Zhong has a grievance in his stomach, and he is suing me!"
