1373. One sings bad faces and the other sings red faces
Some of the upright officials headed by Cheng Fenglou and Yuan Jurong were tense on the outside, but inwardly they were almost laughing like crazy.
For more than half a year, His Majesty seems to have been pampering the Jiang family.
There were Jiang family members everywhere in the court, and these people were almost miserable.
But now, as soon as King Qingyun came back, he defeated Jiang Yan before the morning court even started.
This is not unpleasant.
After everything is quiet, it feels like stepping on the spot.
Qianyu shouted "The Emperor is here", causing the surrounding area to become silent instantly.
Xia Lishuang put on court clothes, walked into the court hall, and sat on the dragon chair that originally belonged to her.
When he saw Wen Ranran, he seemed to frown visibly.
In fact, there is nothing special about the early court today. It is probably because Xia Lishuang also mentioned Jiang Yan in private. Although he gave the Jiang family corresponding honors, he also provided appropriate protection to some honest officials in the court.
Occasionally, people who made minor mistakes were often fined or demoted, but no lives were lost.
Xia Lishuang grasped these points very well.
"By the way, about the war in the South China Sea... Now the governor of Hainan has reported that the area near the South China Sea has been harassed by Japanese pirates, and the fishermen's lives are miserable... Nowadays, only by closing the country and banning the sea can we permanently protect Changning on the border.
!”
"So, do you have any opinions about the sea ban?"
Xia Lishuang looked at the memorial in front of her and frowned slightly.
"I have my own notes!"
Wen Ranran stood up without thinking.
"Now that the war in Rongguo has just begun, it is not appropriate to start more wars. The lives of the people in the inland are now guaranteed, but near the South China Sea, the people make a living by fishing! What will happen to their lives once the sea is closed?
?!" Wen Ranran cupped her hands and whispered, "This matter is not conducive to the development of the people, your Majesty, please think twice!"
Xia Lishuang was stunned for a moment, and her long and far-sighted gaze fell on Wen Ranran.
"Oh? Does Mr. Wen have any ideas? Now that it is no longer suitable for our Rongguo army to start wars, can we prevent all this from happening if we continue to open the coastal waters?! If those people can't fish, they can just go
Plant!”
"But the climate over there in the South China Sea is hot and humid, which is not suitable for farming." Wen Ranran raised her head and looked at the other party without giving in. "Is it possible that Your Majesty has not considered the key points?!"
"Hmph! The kindness of a woman! Nowadays, the treasury is empty. Do you think that if the offshore sea is really opened and fishermen can continue to fish, then once they encounter those Japanese pirates at sea, it will definitely be a fierce battle! When the time comes, be brave
Who is on the front line?! Isn’t it the few fierce generals I’m sitting down with?! You’re a woman, so what are you talking about? Is it possible that you can take the place of tens of thousands of soldiers and just talk to the other side to make them surrender?!”
Wen Ranran pursed her lips, her expression cold and firm, obviously looking ugly because of Xia Lishuang's words.
"If Your Majesty does not fundamentally solve the problem, the Japanese pirates will become even more rampant in the face of the sea ban policy! For thousands of years, the labor wisdom of people everywhere has determined whether they will farm or fish. A rash change will only harm them.
It will cause disadvantages!" Wen Ranran's face turned obviously pale, but the words she spoke made it clear that she was going against Xia Lishuang.
Everyone in the court was silent. Seeing the tit-for-tat confrontation between Xia Lishuang and Wen Ranran, no one dared to make a sound.
Xia Liyuan, who was standing in the front row, wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xia Liqing's wink.
"I am the emperor, how can I let you decide what I want to do?!"
"
"You--" Wen Ranran took a deep breath, and her face, which was already looking haggard because she hadn't slept well, had a flash of water quickly flashing across her face, making it hard to see clearly.
For a time, the atmosphere was extremely awkward and stiff.
