On the eighth day of the lunar month, the cabinet ministers had just decided to add the matters to the eunuchs in Jiangnan. On the 11th day of the lunar month, the secret disclosure of the Siming Gong Chen Yiguan was brought to Wanli.

The secret disclosure is a secret memorial, that is, only visible to the emperor himself, and no other person can read it. After the emperor read it, the secret disclosure was immediately included in the Silijian Document Library for archives. No one can check it without the emperor's intention. This is the privilege of the important officials of the court, and even the Tongzhengsi and the various departments cannot be previewed.

When Wang Xijue had no hope of making a comeback, it was because he secretly revealed that he asked his student Li Sancai to demolish it privately, and then stabbed it to Kedao, which caused a stir in the world, and completely cut off his return and made Ye Xianggao cheaper.

Wanli's impression of Chen Yiguan is quite good. Although the dispute over the country was determined by Shen Yiguan, which prevented King Fu from entering the Eastern Palace, during the reign of Chen Yiguan, everything was in line with Wanli's intentions, except for the country's foundation. Therefore, Wanli still attached great importance to the secret disclosure of the Siming Gong.

However, after reading Chen Yiguan's secret disclosure, Wanli became a little confused, so he asked the eunuch Zhao Quan to go to the Sili Supervisor to call Bingbi on duty. Today, he did not have Bingbi on duty, but instead took the turn of Sun Xian on the hand.

As the eunuch in charge of the seal, Sun Xian actually had no choice but to take the turn. He was not present a few days ago when the emperor added the cabinet minister and the eunuch in the Dingjiangnan township. Afterwards, he could not be persuaded, so he made a special arrangement. From the 11th to 15th of this month, Sun Xian will be on duty.

The master was also thinking about this, but he was worried that the emperor would set the appointment of the eunuch in the East Factory in the next few days. The moon was the first to be close to the water, and it was better to be with the emperor than to be away. If he had a relationship with Ma Tang, he would not have a good relationship. If he could get the seal of the ritual, it was Jin Zhong who compromised with him and joined forces to balance Ma Tang.

Therefore, no matter what his relationship with Sun Xian and Jin Zhong was, suppressing Ma Tang was the top priority. How to suppress the law would naturally block the way for Ma Tang Admiral Dongchang.

After Sun Xian arrived at the Ganqing Palace, he saluted the emperor first.

Wanli ordered the throne to be given, and later asked Sun Xian how old the Siming Gong was this year.

Sun Xian recalled and said that the Siming Gong was seventy years old.

"Are you over seventy?"

Wanli remembered that Chen Yiguan was not young, but unexpectedly he was an old man in his seventies. He sighed and signaled Zhao Quan to take Chen Yiguan's secret to Sun Xian.

Sun Xian was the chief minister of the inner court, and asked him to see the secret reveal of the chief minister who retired, but there was no problem. Although the eunuch Zhao Quan also wanted to know what secret reveal the Siming Gong gave the emperor, he did not dare to take a look at the secret reveal, bowed and handed the secret reveal to the ancestor, then he retreated obediently and stood with his hands behind his back.

"Southeast Expanding the Sea"?

When Sun Xian saw the title of the Siming Gong, he was surprised and looked at the emperor calmly. After reading it, he looked at the emperor in amazement and said, "When the Siming Gong was in court, he advocated not to move troops. When he resisted the Japanese and aided Korea, the Fujian-Zhejiang Navy was transferred. The expedition was ready. The emperor was also allowed to go to Japan. However, the Siming Gong insisted that it was impossible. Why did this husband go to the southeast to expand the sea and then to supervise the maritime minister Wei in charge of this matter?"

"I also find it strange, so I asked you to ask. Let me tell you, is what Chen Yiguan said in the commentary feasible?" Wanli refused to comment, or he couldn't figure out whether what Chen Yiguan said could do it.

"The old slave is not specialized in maritime affairs and dare not speak nonsense."

Sun Xian was not shirking responsibility or refusing to say it, but he was indeed unfamiliar with the maritime affairs in the southeast. The palace was mostly unfamiliar with maritime affairs, and almost followed the crowd. If you want to talk about it, there was one person, Liu Jixiang, the admiral of the Imperial Horse Superintendent, who served the Japanese leader Wang Zhi since he was a child. It is reported that the Wei family sent by the emperor to Jiangnan was supported by Liu Jixiang, and the Imperial Horse Superintendent was quite convenient, and he gave the title of the Houjun Banner.

However, this happened before Sun Xian took charge of the seal. Wei Liangchen had the support of the imperial concubine, and he also had the emperor's temper, as well as the support of Jin Zhong, Zhang Cheng, Liu Jixiang and others. Sun Xian had no need to seek his troubles.

Besides, if we really talk about it, Wei Liangchen is also considered the grandson of his grandson of Master Sun Xian. Isn’t Li Jinzhong the uncle of Wei Liangchen?

I spent so much effort to send Li Jinzhong back to the East Palace. In the Sili Prison, I also said a few words to Wei Liangchen, who caused trouble in Wuxi, because Isn’t it just this incense feeling?

The incense is no less than that of blood relatives to the people in the palace.

Now, Wei Liangchen was valued by the emperor and appointed as the eunuch in the Jiangnan township. Although he was a sixth rank, he also showed his favor. He was very good at being a good job and the greater his official position, he was all the grandchildren of his master Sun Xian. For Sun Xian, he was naturally happy to see his success.

Otherwise, he would have been following the emperor's advice long ago.

Sun Xian said he didn't understand, and Wanli was not surprised. He nodded slightly and said, "Chen Yiguan said that maritime affairs should join forces with the power of several southeastern provinces. He walked in a few steps. I watched the reversal. Whether it was Ryukyu or the Dongfan, they were all in my country's seas and trade nodes, how could the Japanese occupy such places?"

Sun Xian only listened but didn't say it. He heard the emperor's tone and obviously agreed with what Siming Gong said.

"But Chen Yiguan said that he was old and recommended to me that Wei Liangchen was in charge of the Southeast Sea Expansion. I don't think so. Although I had just appointed Wei Liangchen as the governor of Jiangnan, he was young and lacked qualifications. According to Chen Yiguan, the expansion of the Southeast Sea Expansion must gather the power of the naval station of several provinces in Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong. This combined tens of thousands of military ships. Such power is not something that Wei Liangchen can command."

"I think that although Wei Liangchen is young, he is smart and clever. With the help of Siming Gong, he may not be able to preside over the Southeast Expansion of the Sea."

Wanli disagreed and shook his head: "Sun Xian, you are really going back and forth as you live. Are you confused? Can Wei Liangchen be restrained?"

Sun Xian chuckled and said, "Old Master, I am not confused, but I am awake."

"oh?"

Wanli looked at Sun Xian and said, "You are not confused. If you are sober, you should know that the southeast expansion of the sea is not simpler than the great battle. I sent Wei Liangchen to preside over the maritime affairs and gave him the command of Jiangnan. But as long as he set up the sea trade, it is not to go to the sea. In several southeastern provinces, who can he suppress? If he is asked to preside over the southeast expansion of the sea, I would rather assume that this secret exposure has not been as good as Chen Yiguan."

Sun Xian said seriously: "Old Master, I think this southeastern sea must be presided over by Wei Liangchen."

Seeing that Si Li's palm seal was so firm, Wanli was stunned for a moment and said in confusion: "You insist that you must be Wei Liangchen, you must give me a reason!"
