"Tao Aiqing, don't worry about crying for now. Keep talking." I sat down slowly with a blank expression, waved my hand and said.

Tao Qian finally stopped crying, so he continued to say, "When Qi San was released from prison, the Ministry of Justice suddenly tried him, and after the third sentence, he was sentenced to rebellion for collusion with Japanese pirates to harm our border waters... His crimes should be implicated in the nine tribes. The old minister and Lord Xie tried to persuade the former emperor not to stop. Later, the Manchu tribe of Qi San was beheaded, and blood flowed into a river, and none of them were spared. At that time, Lord Xie was discouraged and did not ask about political affairs, and he said in a daze that he only wanted to protect himself. The old minister also had the intention to retreat. Until he met you, the emperor, he felt that our revival was expected, and he was excited again."

"Ouyang Mi, come out and tell me what was going on at that time." I was calm and turned my attention to Ouyang Mi.

Ouyang Mi took a step forward and bowed and said, "Report to the emperor, I should say that I am following the order of the late emperor to step up the review of Qi San. However, Qi San refused to admit that he colluded with Japanese pirates. Instead, he confessed to violating the sea ban and vigorously developing sea trade. When he was in the prison, he woke up, he cursed Lord Tao and Lord Xie. After he fell asleep, he also scolded him while talking in his sleep."

"Hmph, since he is unwilling to admit that he is colluding with Japanese pirates, why can he still put on this hat? Your Ministry of Justice, do you do this every time? Liu Zhe was the same last time, and now there is another Qi San?" I emphasized my tone and said dissatisfied.

Ouyang Mi hurriedly knelt down and crawled on the ground and said, "Emperor, even if Qi San openly despises the court's laws and ignores the maritime ban policy, it is enough to cut off his entire family's charges. Furthermore, Qi San does have certain contacts with Japan, and has developed a base on the territory of Japan, employed a large number of Japanese people as sailors. Qi San himself admitted these facts. Such disrespectful behavior can indeed be judged as a thief of the rebellion."

"Dog official, my father must always consider how to revive my Great Wu Dynasty." Qi Lang jumped up and pointed at Ouyang Mi and cursed.

"Shut up." I said in a deep voice: "Come here, pull this Qi Lang out and blame the court stick. I will bring it back. Your father Qi San, although his heart is pitiful, but his behavior is indeed openly provoking the prestige of the Great Wu Dynasty. Qi San, I warn you once, if you look down on the court again, I will be killed."

When Qi Lang saw me angry, he stared at Ouyang Mi with fierce eyes, but he did not scold him any more. He was pushed out by the guards and blamed him for ten times of court sticks. He was young and had good muscles. He could only let him lie at home for a few days at most. It was already light for me to do it.

"I have something to say to the emperor." Yang Juzheng stood up with a serious look on his face.

"If you have something to say, don't hesitate." Due to the secret agreement between me and Yang Juzheng, the two of them in front of me should be inconsistent with each other. I showed that I was just because of the queen's face that I would not make things difficult for him.

Yang Juzheng reported: "The old minister thought that this matter should be stopped and no longer pursued."

"Old man Yang, are you becoming more and more confused as you live?" I said with a bad face: "Ouyang Misan said that if he was not careful, he should be dismissed from his post and investigated."

Yang Juzheng said with anger on his face: "Emperor, although this case was passed by Lord Ouyang, the one who really made the decision was the late emperor. Does the emperor still blame the late emperor for his faults? The late emperor must have his intention to act like this."

"Shut up." I scolded impatiently: "Don't talk about the late emperor all day long, shut up the late emperor. I have my own skills when doing things. Why do you need to worry about it? Let me retreat quickly."

Yang Juzheng snorted coldly and retreated to the ranks of ministers with unwillingness. Several ministers who were close friends with him had to match him with a sympathetic look. Originally, Yang Juzheng's relationship should have made me a minister who was valued. I didn't expect that now I'm talking coldly.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say." Tao Qian walked on two steps: "The old minister also thought that this matter should not be pursued any further."

"Oh? Why did Tao Aiqing say this?" I looked at him and said, "If you hadn't been troubled by Xie Aiqing, how could you be entangled now?"

"When the old minister and Lord Xie made such a fuss, the original intention was not to rehabilitate Qi San, the dead were gone. Let it go. The reason why I did this is to remind the emperor. Although Qi San's behavior was a little extreme, it was indeed beneficial to the country. Therefore, I beg the emperor to put the overall situation first, and to use Qi Lang as the governor of the Haiwei Department to vigorously develop the maritime power of our dynasty." Tao Qian said with a serious face: "This is the original intention of the old minister and Lord Xie again."

If it were Ping, if Tao Qian proposed to lift the sea ban and establish the Haiwei Department, it would definitely be fiercely opposed by the ministers. However, after this, it is said that it is necessary to lift the sea ban from the side. In this way, he will strike while the iron is hot and point out how necessary it is to lift the sea ban and vigorously develop trade.

Tao Qian, Tao Qian, you are indeed an old fox, the five court sticks, and you have the opportunity to realize your lifelong wishes. However, I like it very much. Indeed, lifting the maritime ban is really beneficial to my country.

The ministers were not without voices of opposition. But my attitude seemed to support the plans of Tao Qian and others. In addition, Tao Qian, Xie Zhongyi, Zhang Mian and others had their own forces. The voices of opposition were quickly suppressed.

"Tao Aiqing, I am quite interested in this proposal." I leaned on the golden dragon throne and said lightly: "However, although Qi Lang is familiar with the sea, he is still young and cannot take care of the overall situation. I will find someone else to be a full-time position. If Qi Lang, he will serve as a deputy position first. After training for two years, I will help him get to the full-time position." But I thought to myself, "This Qi Lang looks rebellious. If he directly appoints him, it would be a good thing. The old emperor back then was probably because Qi San was so rebellious.

The surname Zi is killed. According to my guess, the old emperor probably also wanted to get those forces in Qi San's hands. It was probably because the three surnames Qi were too strong, which led to the ending of the whole family. As an emperor, the first thing he wanted was peace and stability. Although I have only been the emperor for several months, I also understood the old emperor's thoughts. Seeking stability is the best strategy. Since we cannot hold that force firmly in our hands, it is better to completely eliminate it, so as to avoid the trouble of old age."

"I am different. Although I am comfortable to be an Emperor of Freedom. But if I don't enter as soon as possible and occupy the Age of Discovery, don't say that the national strength of my Great Wu Dynasty will be gradually replaced by the world's powers. Even my throne will not be stable. It is a trivial matter for me to be stable myself, but what about my descendants?" Thinking of this, I said again: "Tao Aiqing, I understand your intention now. Therefore, I don't plan to blame you. However, if there is such a thing in the Queen, I will definitely be killed."

Tao Qian immediately crawled on the ground and said with sincerity: "The old minister thanked the Lord for his kindness. The only wish of the old minister is to see that my Great Wu Dynasty is rich and strong. At that time, even if the old minister dies, he will have no regrets in his heart."

"I would like to see our country and people strong, and look down on all the heroes." The ministers hurriedly knelt down and shouted.

"Okay, okay." I stood up suddenly and walked forward slowly. I shouted loudly: "The ministers work together to bring the prestige of my Great Wu Dynasty in every corner of the world. He said, "You, my king and my ministers, we will work together to build the horses and drink wine in the Spanish palace."

"Long live my emperor, long live my emperor." The ministers shouted together. Some ministers who had long been old and cunning also showed a slight excitement on their faces, which was inspired by my bold words. Any minister came from young age. Who had never been ambitious? Who had never become famous in the world? Everyone wanted to be a good official at the beginning. However, because of all kinds of life, people began to be discouraged and worldly, so that in this court, the first thing they thought of was to protect themselves. Xie Zhongyi is an extremely obvious example, from being ambitious to now turning a blind eye to the fact that they are not aware of the things outside the window.

Qi Lang was dragged back, and there was a blood stain on his butt.

"Qi Lang, do you know why I want to hit you?" I asked lightly.

"I..." Qi Lang said, looking at Xie and Tao and the others.

Xie Zhongyi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, because Qi Lang has been in the wild for a long time, he has not changed his surname for a while. Please forgive me."

Qi Lang saw Xie Zhongyi's sweat on his face and his whole body was trembling because of the court stick he was scolded. So he immediately knelt in front of me and said, "Your Majesty, Qi Lang knows his guilt."

"The reason why I blame you is that you are not in the court, shouting loudly and not understanding etiquette. How can you take on the heavy responsibility I have assigned you like this?" My face relaxed again: "I hope you remember the lessons you have learned so that you, Uncle Tao and Uncle Xie will not be punished again. The court has its own rules."

"Report to the emperor, the Caomin Qi Lang knows." Qi Lang said with shame.

"It's good to know, but your name needs to be changed. As a new student, you should call yourself Yuchen in front of me." I laughed and said.

"I, Qilang, long live my emperor, long live." Qilang knelt on the ground and replied respectfully.
