Yang Feng soon came to the palace. When he followed the eunuch who led the way into the side hall of Kunning Palace, he saw three cabinet masters, Minister of War Wang Yongguang and other ministers. Not only that, even Wei Zhongxian was inside, which made Yang Feng feel very surprised.

After coming to the Ming Dynasty, Yang Feng realized that there was actually a deviation in the description of Wei Zhongxian in history. Wei Zhongxian in history books was greedy and bloodthirsty, and only knew how to eliminate dissidents and frame loyal people. However, after contacting him, Yang Feng realized that it was better to have no books than to believe in books. Although Wei Zhongxian had the shortcomings of such shortcomings as greed for money, ruthlessness, and unyielding methods to achieve his goals, there was one thing that he was much better than the so-called righteous gentlemen of the Donglin Party.

That is, Wei Zhongxian would make money for Zhu Youxiao. Before Yang Feng arrived, he was Zhu Youxiao's money bag. Under the circumstances of the court's finances, the Ming Dynasty was still able to barely operate because of Wei Zhongxian's ability to make money. Moreover, Wei Zhongxian is a greedy person, but he is not picky about food. He does whatever he makes money. For example, the gold, silver and jewelry store in Nanjing was founded by him. He left some of the money he earned, but he still gave it to Zhu Youxiao. This is also the reason why Zhu Youjian knew that his queen Zhang Yan hated Wei Zhongxian so much that he also used Wei Zhongxian.

Moreover, Wei Zhongxian is very low-key. He spends most of his daily life in Sili Supervisor to deal with things and rarely shows up. Yang Feng has been in the capital for more than half a year, and he has only seen Wei Zhongxian on two or three sides. This is also the reason why Yang Feng felt strange after seeing Wei Zhongxian.

"My uncle Yang Feng has seen Your Majesty!" Yang Feng walked to the front dynasty and bowed to Zhu Youxiao.

"Yang Aiqing, are you here?" Seeing Yang Feng arrive, Zhu Youxiao's originally sad face showed a smile.

Yang Feng said helplessly: "Didn't Your Majesty give me a six-day leave? Why did you call me again?"

After the disaster relief came to an end, Yang Feng specially asked Zhu Youxiao for a few days off to accompany the new child at home. Although he gave birth to a girl this time, it was still a huge surprise for Yang Feng, who had a child for the first time. Now Yang Feng basically hugged the child and wandered around the yard whenever he had time. Although his love for the child certainly relieved Zhezhe's original uneasy heart, it also made Hai Lanzhu, Zheng Tuoniang and Da Yuer and other girls taste a little, and these nights were all "squeezing" Yang Feng.

Seeing that Yang Feng was so casual with Zhu Youxiao in front of the ministers, Huang Liji said a little unhappy: "Jiang Ningbo, Your Majesty is now discussing national affairs with us. How can you be so big or small and not understand etiquette of esteemedness?"

Yang Feng raised his eyebrows. Huang Liji's words were buried in a trap. If they were passed on after they were implemented, a hat that was ignorant of etiquette and righteousness would be firmly buckled on Yang Feng's head. Yang Feng could not bear the blame. He sneered at Huang Liji and said, "Old Huang Ge, why did Mr. Yang know how to be a big or a little girl? In terms of title, Ben Bo is Jiang Ning Bo, the emperor's imperial title, and the class is the first-class. Compared with you, the second-class Minister of Rites, the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion is two levels higher than that of you, the second-class Minister of Rites, but Ben Bo didn't see you salute to Ben Bo? Could it be that you, the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion, have nothing to do with a false reputation?"

"You..." Huang Liji couldn't help but feel angry. He, the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion, is second only to the Grand Secretary of Jianji Pavilion, and is the top scholar. How could he be compared with Yang Feng, a master who was obtained through killing?

But he could not say that Yang Feng, Jiang Ningbo, was not as good as him, because at the beginning of the founding of the country, Comrade Zhu stipulated that the most noble people in the Ming Dynasty had belonged to the princes, vassal kings and the princes who were granted the title of the princes, vassal kings and the princes who were granted the title of the princes. In the eyes of Comrade Zhu, these people were the cornerstones of the Ming Dynasty. As for those scholars who were only good at talking, they needed as much as they wanted. There was nothing in the world, but there was no shortage of scholars who wanted to be officials.

Haven't you seen Lao Zhu kill people at any time back then, but any officials who embezzled more than fifty taels of silver would have to be peeled and put them into pieces. Some officials have killed several times, but I think those who are officials are still like crucian carp crossing the river. However, after the Tumu Fort Incident, the power of the military honors was almost exhausted. The Cultural Management Group took the opportunity to rise and even opened the fallacy that everything was inferior and only had high school education. Now civil officials are very despised by those nobles who only know how to eat and die, but they will never dare to openly call out that their identities are more noble than nobles, because that is to openly overthrow the system set by Lao Zhu.

Seeing that Huang Liji was choked by Yang Feng and could not speak, Gu Bingqian couldn't help but glared at him with some anger, secretly angering that his teammate, his pigs, was not doing anything. What did Yang Feng tell Zhu Youxiao that he had nothing to do? Didn't you even say anything? Are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf? You have nothing to do to confront Yang Feng. How idle are you?

Zhu Youxiao squinted his eyes and watched Yang Feng and Huang Liji fight each other. After seeing Huang Liji eat the turtle, he waved his hand: "Okay, Yang Aiqing. I can't help you entering the palace this time. You can take a look at this memorial first."

After saying that, he pointed to the memorial on the Dragon Case. The eunuch standing beside him quickly stepped forward and picked it up and picked it up in both hands and handed it to Yang Feng. Yang Feng took it and nodded to the little eunuch with a smile. Then he opened the memorial and started to look at it.

There was silence in the side hall, only the rustling sound of Yang Feng reading the memorials.

After a while, Yang Feng handed the memorial back to the little eunuch. He raised his head and asked Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, the rebellion of Zheng Zhilong in Fujian is a very important matter. Zheng Zhilong is a minister who knows a little about it. This person is rebellious and ambitious. If this person gains a foothold in Fujian, it may be a big deal in Fujian from now on."

When he heard this, not only Zhu Youxiao, but also Gu Bingqian and others showed praise in their eyes. This Yang Feng was indeed not simple. What he said was the same as the conclusion they came to just now. Don’t forget that this conclusion was reached by a group of people after discussing for a long time. But Yang Feng made a judgment immediately after reading this memorial. This vision alone is admirable.

Zhu Youxiao said with admiration: "What Yang Aiqing said is the result of my discussion with the ministers just now. All the adults believe that a capable general should be sent to Fujian to lead the elite troops to quell the rebellion as soon as possible. Otherwise, if it is delayed for too long, the situation in Fujian will probably become corrupt. Huang Liji proposed that Yang Aiqing go to Fujian, and Gu Aiqing and others mean the same thing. I wonder what your opinion is?"

"Well..."

Yang Feng pondered. In fact, when he saw this memorial, he had a premonition in his heart. No one except himself could be promoted to this errand. Although Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei could go to Fujian to quell the rebellion, they were not as prestige or strength as themselves in the court. Besides, they had to guard the capital. After thinking about it, they were the only one who was Jiang Ningbo, no matter how tall, fat, thin, and long.

"Okay!" Yang Feng finally agreed, "I am willing to lead troops to Fujian to quell the rebellion!"

Seeing that Yang Feng finally agreed, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but be overjoyed and said repeatedly: "Ask Yang Aiqing is still reliable at the critical moment. I know that Yang Aiqing will not disappoint me."

Not only Zhu Youxiao, but also Gu Bingqian and others felt relieved when they saw Yang Feng agreeing to go to Fujian to quell the rebellion. When they looked at each other, they felt a big stone falling down in their hearts. Gu Bingqian even praised: "Jiang Ningbo is worthy of being a pillar of the country and a role model for us!"

Yang Feng smiled faintly and ignored this obvious flattery. He turned to Gu Bingqian and said, "Don't rush to praise Ben Bo. Although Ben Bo agreed to go to Fujian to quell the rebellion, he also had some small requests, hoping to get the support of His Majesty and the court."

"This is natural, please speak for Bo Jiang Ning!" Gu Bingqian and others showed a look of course in their eyes. It was normal for Yang Feng to make requests. If he didn't make requests, they would be worried.

"First, I hope that Your Majesty and the Dukes can leave a document, and the court will reopen the maritime ban!"

"What……"

Yang Feng's first request was made, and it caused a shock.

Gu Bingqian, Huang Liji and others almost all had their eyes protruded. The sea ban was reopened... This was not just a small requirement, it was too big, okay?

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties followed the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties and continued to implement the government's tribute trade policy. Tribute trade caused the court to lose money, resulting in "the treasury is empty", which brought an increasingly heavy financial burden to the Ming Dynasty.

Comrade Zhu, who was born in Mud Leg, stubbornly believed that the fundamental reason for the Ming Dynasty was agriculture, and the output value of agriculture was enough to support the Ming Dynasty. In addition, Japanese pirates often attacked the coastal areas at that time, so they issued a decision to "not go into the sea without going to sea" and explicitly prohibited the people from going to sea without permission.

Since the issuance of this order, emperors and officials of all dynasties have always followed this policy. Although there was Zheng He's voyage to the West, looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, this ban still runs through the history of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years.

After everyone was silent for a while, Gu Bingqian said, "Mr. Yang, this is the ancestral system set by Emperor Taizu, so it is not easy to change!"

"Ancestor system?" Yang Feng sneered, "Since Mr. Gu mentioned the ancestral system, then we might as well pick them up one by one. For example, the one that Emperor Taizu ordered to peel off the skin and fill it with grass if he had more than fifty taels of silver. Only the prison students from the Imperial College can become officials. What do you think?"

"How do you... do this?" Huang Liji was also anxious. Most of the officials in the Ming Dynasty are from serious professionals. How can they compare with those who are in the Imperial College where they are behind the door of the Imperial College? Yang Feng, you are turning a backward in history when you do this! And if you have to peel off your skin and fill it with grass if you are greedy for more than fifty taels of ink, apart from the best-quality ones like Hai Rui, how many officials in the entire Ming Dynasty can be left?

"Why... I don't say anything?" Yang Feng sneered: "Don't you always say you should follow the ancestral system? Why don't you follow it now? I understand. For all the ancestral system that is beneficial to you, you must abide by it. If you pretend not to see it, is that true?"

Even though Gu Bingqian and others had been in the officialdom for most of their lives, they were so embarrassed that their faces turned red by Yang Feng's words.

Yang Feng continued: "Your Majesty, sir, in fact, everyone understands that the so-called ban on seas is just a joke to the Ming Dynasty, and is used to restrain the common people. Which of the sea merchants in the south of the Yangtze River does not own dozens of sea ships, hundreds or even thousands of sailors. They travel between Nanyang and Fusang, and they get more than tens of millions of profits every year. The one who gets the biggest benefits is them, but they are also the one who supports the most in the sea ban. I don't need to say anything about the reason. You understand the reason."

Gu Bingqian and several other cabinet masters were silent. Even Wang Yongguang, the Minister of War, who belonged to the Donglin Party, did not speak silent. It was not that he did not want to refute it, but this was indeed a fact, and he could not refute it even if he wanted to. In the past, he could still use the excuse of "competing for profit with the people" to oppose the opening of the maritime ban, but when Yang Feng cleaned the true face of the Donglin Party members in "Putter Truth", the excuse became a joke.

Competing for profit with the people? I'm afraid it's competing for profit with rich rich merchants, salt merchants and maritime merchants?

However, as a member of the Donglin Party, if Wang Yongguang didn't say anything on this matter, he thought for a long time before stammering: "It is too important to open the sea ban. If the sea ban is rashly opened, it may be a big wave in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it will be of no benefit to the country."

Gu Bingqian and others also echoed: "Mr. Wang said it makes sense. I hope Your Majesty think twice!"

"Well..." Zhu Youxiao looked at Yang Feng hesitantly.

Yang Feng pondered for a while and said, "Since that's the case, we won't open all the sea bans immediately. We have to do it step by step. Why don't we let Fujian open the sea ban first? What do you think? Anyway, Fujian has been messed up by Zheng Zhilong now, and you are not afraid of becoming more chaotic after reopening the sea ban. What do you think?"

Zhu Youxiao thought about it again. Fujian has experienced several months of war and has been in chaos. Now, even if the sea ban is lifted, can the consequences be broken? Let’s talk about it after opening it.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao made a decision in his heart: "Okay... As my dear said, Fujian has reopened the sea ban, allowing Fujian fishermen and people to enter and exit fishing freely and do business!"

At the end, he added: "Of course, remember to pay taxes according to the rules!"

When things got to this point, Gu Bingqian and others also knew that with Yang Feng's push and Zhu Youxiao's nod, the reopening of the maritime ban in Fujian could no longer be stopped, so they had to agree helplessly.

Since the matter has been settled, Zhu Youxiao quickly issued an order to appoint Yang Feng as the governor of the Southern Expedition, leading the Jiangning Guard and 20,000 troops to Fujian, and set out ten days later.
