The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 372 Liu Jian's thoughts

Mutual market, mutual market!
Liu Jian clenched his fists tightly, and two rays of light shot out of his eyes.

Why didn't he think of it!
Although he felt that Xie Shen was a monster, Liu Jian had to admit that it was such a monster who proposed countless times to change the fate of the Ming Dynasty.

From the initial cotton planting in tidal flats, to the opening of sea bans, and now to the establishment of mutual markets.

Each of Xie Shen's memorials can be written on key points.

"Yu Qiao, I want to personally deliver this memorial to His Majesty!"

According to the normal process, the cabinet scholar made a proposal for the memorandum, and then it will be sent to the Supervisor of Rites, who will be approved by the eunuch of the Supervisor of Rites.

In this way, the review process of memorials is completed.

However, some particularly important memorials, such as military reports or disaster reports, must be submitted to the emperor in person.

In Liu Jian's view, Xie Shenjin's memorial is very important, and it is very appropriate that he, the chief minister of the cabinet, personally submit it to the emperor.

From Wenyuan Pavilion to Qianqing Palace, you have to go through the entire Outer Dynasty.

However, Liu Jian enjoys the privilege of riding a shoulder car in the inner palace and does not need to walk.

When Mr. Liu Ge came out of Wenyuan Pavilion, he sat on the shoulder chair and was carried by the inner eunuch to Qianqing Palace.

When he arrived at the palace, Liu Ge's old general Zoushu stuffed it into his sleeves, Shi Shiran stepped down from his shoulders, and strode to Danbi's side.

There was a rotating eunuch who went to report, and soon returned and invited Mr. Liu Ge in.

Full of ambition, Liu Jian came to Dongnuan Pavilion under the watchful eyes of the eunuch Wang Yue, the supervisor of ceremonies.

Bypassing the screen, he was stunned on the spot.

Xie Shenxiu was actually right in front of him!
"His Majesty."

"Yuan Fu, don't be surprised, it was I who summoned Xie Qing into the palace."

Liu Jian was speechless for a moment.

Could it be that Xie Shen wrote two copies of the letter, one was sent to the cabinet for formal procedures, and the other was entrusted to the inner eunuch to submit to the emperor?
"The prince has improved his knowledge a lot recently. I thought it was thanks to Xie Qing, so I called him into the palace to inquire."

That's it!

Liu Jianchang breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that he is overthinking.

"Your Majesty, I have a memorial to Xie Yushi here. Since this matter is so important, I dare not delay and submit it to the imperial court immediately."

Liu Jian made some choice of words and said respectfully.

"Oh?"

Emperor Hongzhi was obviously curious about what the memorial made Liu Ge so nervous, so he signaled the eunuch Wang who was waiting beside him to take the memorial.

Slowly unfolding the memorial, Emperor Hongzhi gradually frowned.

"Xie Qing, what is the meaning of the memorial to open the mutual market?"

The Ming Dynasty expelled the Tartars and established the country, and always regarded the Northern Yuan Mongolia as a serious problem.

Emperor Hongzhi was educated since he was a child that the Mongols were a group of barbarians, and he must not show any kindness when dealing with them, because these people are not worthy of sympathy at all.Sympathy for them will only result in the suffering of the people and the empire.

It happened that Xie Shen was also in the palace, so Emperor Hongzhi didn't ask Liu Jian, a scholar of the First Assistant University, but directly asked Xie Shen.

"Report to Your Majesty."

Xie Shen made a deep salute to Emperor Hongzhi, and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, this minister's policy is to suppress the Tartars."

Emperor Hongzhi said with concentration: "Continue talking."

"Your Majesty, although Duoyan Sanwei belongs to Daming, it is only in name. In fact, Da Ming's control over Duoyan Sanwei is very weak. In the final analysis, it is because Duoyan Sanwei is also a Tartar and has the same origin as the Tatars. I heard a sentence In other words, the minds of people who are not of our race must be different!"

He deliberately bit the last sentence very hard, and Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but nodded.

"Xie Qing is right, but how can you restrain the Tartars with the Tartars?"

Xie Shen thought in his heart that he had finally waited for the opportunity, and it was much more reliable to explain his thoughts in front of the emperor than through memorials.

After all, he is only a foreign minister now, and the memorial must be processed by the cabinet before it can be delivered to the emperor.

During this process, God knows if he will be put together.

"Your Majesty, what the Tartars are planning is nothing more than pastures and trade markets. Pastures are places for them to graze, and it all depends on force. As for trade, it depends on your majesty's willingness. But there are only a few places suitable for trade. There will definitely be rifts because of the competition."

Having said that, Emperor Hongzhi already understood that Xie Shen wanted to make a fuss about the privilege of the mutual market.

Originally, only the three guards of Duoyan could trade in the first generation of Xuanfu.And if this power is distributed to Boyan Khan, it will inevitably lead to competition between the two.

But the Ming court can reap the benefits.

"But what if it is discovered."

After all, the Tatars were cunning, what if they saw their true intentions and got together with Duoyan Sanwei instead?
"Your Majesty, both the Tatars and the three guards of Duoyan are troubled by their elbows and armpits. If they continue to mess around like this, they will only make their tails worse! Please learn from your majesty!"

Xie Shen said almost in tears.

Because of the particularity of the status of the capital, the threat from the Tatars and Duoyan Sanwei is too great.Even if they are appeased, how many years can they be appeased?The reason why the Tartars accepted appeasement was that they were not yet fully fledged.

Really wait until they are full-fledged and accumulate strength, it will be the day of a decisive battle with Daming.

"What does Yuansuke think?"

Emperor Hongzhi naturally threw the question to Liu Jian, and Elder Liu Ge clasped his hands and replied: "The old minister agrees with Xie Yushi's point of view."

This was really beyond Xie Shen's expectation.

In his impression, isn't Liu Jian a die-hard supporter of the former Chief Assistant Xu Pu?

Xu Pu became an official, causing Liu Jian to be scolded by all the officials. Shouldn't Liu Jian blame Xie Shen? Why did he side with Xie Shen in the mutual market?
In any case, Liu Jian's statement had a great impact on the emperor's will.Emperor Hongzhi nodded and said, "Let me think about this matter again. Yuan Fu and Xie Qing should step down first."

"The old minister retire."

"My minister retire."

Both of them bowed their hands and resigned.

As soon as Fang came out of Qianqing Palace, Liu Jian said quietly: "Xie Yushi's method of killing three scholars with two peaches is really wonderful."

"Thank you, Mr. Ge, for your compliment."

Although I don't know what Liu Jian is thinking, but he stretches out his hand and doesn't hit the smiling face.

Since Liu Jian helped Xie Shen in this matter, Xie Shen has no reason not to express his gratitude to Liu Jian.

"If you can really divide the Tartars as Xie Yushi said, then you have made an incomparable feat."

Liu Jian paused and said: "With this credit, it may not be impossible for Xie Yushi to be in charge of the sixth part."

Cough cough, what is this?
Is it to show his favor to him?Or is it implying that as long as Xie Shen takes refuge in him, he can be sent to the sixth department as a hall official?

In fact, Xie Shen wanted to be the right servant of the Ministry of Rites more than the regular officials of the six ministries, because this position was prepared for joining the cabinet.As for the general six ministers, it is almost impossible to join the cabinet because of the consideration of checks and balances.

Although the outer dynasty is good, it is still worse than the cabinet.Comparing the two, Xie Shen still wants to join the cabinet more.
