Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 282 Sea ban

The two of them didn't have much concern about choosing a concubine. The one who cared more was the incident of Bi Suinan being reported.

It took only one or two days, and more than a dozen more censors who participated in Bi Suinan.

Seeing that the emperor kept suppressing the memorial, the censors were angry and insisted that Bi Suinan had an affair with the pirates, and the crime was unforgivable.

At this point, no matter how slow Bi Suinan is to deal with the situation, he knows that this time he has been offended by someone he shouldn't have offended.

The other party is not just asking him to lose his post and dismiss his post, but he wants him not to turn over.

As the situation was forced, Bi Suinan finally followed Lin Zisu's advice and submitted another memorial.

In this memorial, Bi Suinan complained about the shortcomings of the ban and exposed all kinds of illegal incidents such as smuggling merchants in Jiangnan and enclosing land.

In order to prevent the contents of the memorial from leaking, this time, it was not passed through the Tongzheng Envoy Department, but was directly taken to the palace by Xie Xi.

"When my father saw my grandfather's memorial, he was furious and called Cao Shouli over and asked Cao Lang, who was in Jiangnan, to quickly find out the reply."

Lin Zisu could also guess the emperor's reaction.

Until Lin Yuanzhi brought Xie Xi to see him, there was still a deep disgust on his face.

In the last life, Xie Xi, as the city guard, was bound in the capital and became a mediocre vassal king.

Lin Zisu remembered that when Xie Xi came to the door just now, his father not only stopped him in the front yard, but also made a few cups of tea, but also learned from Xie Xi in a fake way.

On weekdays, the emperor can pretend to turn a blind eye. Now the treasury is empty and there are a series of major events everywhere, and it is time to use money.

Once someone proposes to open the maritime ban, a group of civil servants will use the ancestral system as an excuse to accuse those of them of being ruthless.

The emperor did not ask local officials to investigate, but asked the East Factory to investigate.

Moreover, the newly built navy was unable to receive military pay due to the ownership issue.

Seeing her smile as if she was bullied, Xie Xi was about to reach out to put her shoulders, but suddenly she remembered Lin Yuanzhi's lightning gaze, so she had to retract her hand and smiled and said, "Why do we say that we were also given by our father-in-law. She was so careful that she put her mind on guarding against thieves on me. When will we get married?"

Moreover, such a big fanfare will only make the emperor even more afraid.

The emperor originally thought that this matter should not be too hasty, so he transferred Bi Suinan to Nankang City, but he just wanted to use Bi Suinan's hands to try it out in Nankang City.

But this time they were afraid that they would miscalculate. Bi Suinan was the candidate who was identified by the emperor. If the censors wanted to attack him, some of the crimes would be useless.

Since Emperor Taizong issued the ban on maritime ban, in the following hundred years, many people have proposed to start maritime trade, but without exception, they have been refuted by the ministers.

The reason why Lin Zisu made Bi Suinan insist on proposing to open the maritime ban was to calculate the emperor's emphasis on opening the maritime ban and his subsequent reaction.

The emperor has always been kind to him. Whether it is brought up by himself or Xie Xi, the emperor will definitely allow this request.

Lin Zisu smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you for your kindness in Fourth Brother. It's nothing wrong with staying in Beijing for a long time. I'm afraid you will cut off the threshold of our family, and then my father will not like you."

Thinking of this, Lin Zisu kept laughing.

This has shown that the emperor does not believe in the local officials in Jiangnan.

Not only did this group of people jump out on their own initiative, but they also insisted on suppressing Bi Suinan, which violated the emperor's taboo.

When there is no sea ban, the court can still receive some taxes on going to sea.

Lin Zisu was moved and felt that Xie Xi's proposal was quite good.

Xie Xi heard the reluctance in her words and said softly: "If you can't let go of your family, it's okay. After we get married, my father and I will ask for grace. Let's stay in the capital for a few more years."

Ruizong once tried to open two ports in Jiangnan and Lingnan under layers of pressure. After the opening, the pirates on the coast of Dayan were rampant, causing trouble for the people.

The two talked and laughed, and time passed very quickly.

However, the Dayan navy had never traveled to the ocean for many years and wanted to wipe out the siege with strong power, which was obviously too willing but not enough.

The censors thought they had figured out the emperor's temper and relied on their own status. The emperor had no way to deal with civil servants for his reputation.

But after thinking about it, I gave up this idea.

Judging from the emperor's reaction, this move was right.

As long as the people from the East Factory send back the news and the emperor will naturally make his own decisions against the sea ban.

Lin Zisu remembered that the queen had mentioned to her that the emperor planned to let Xie Xi marry him after the election of a concubine was over. She immediately stopped smiling and sighed: "You know that my father is reluctant to marry me. Let's bear with him for a few months. When we go to Dunzhou and want to see my father and mother again, we will not know what year or month it will be."

Hearing Lin Zisu’s politeness, Xie Xi felt a little disappointed, and waved his hand and said, “You don’t have to be polite to me. I’m the son-in-law of the Lin family. Your business is mine.”

Although the reasons for opposing the opening of the maritime ban are very different, they are ultimately nothing more than the word "ancestral system".

Two years later, pirates were rampant outside the open port and trade routes were interrupted at all times, and Ruizong had to restore the maritime ban.

With the sea ban, the imperial court could not receive taxes on maritime trade, but several major merchants in Jiangnan did not receive any impact. The profit of the smuggling business that originally made a huge profit was even more amazing.

The two of them have reached this point in this life. Since they know that they have lofty ambitions, they must not drag him down because of their children's affair.

Not only do you have no power in your hands, you even have to pretend to be crazy and stupid to protect yourself.

"Fourth brother, grandpa, there should be no big problem here. Thank you for your trip over the past few days."

Under the sea ban, although it is prohibited to go to sea without permission on the level, it does not hinder those merchants who have access to sea trade.

After Xie Xi finished speaking, he felt that his expression was a little serious just now and smiled and said, "I don't care if I just thank you verbally. I don't ask for anything beside me. Can you please say a few good words to me when you are with my father-in-law?"

At dusk, Xie Xi still refused to leave, but Lin Zisu issued an order to expel guests and said, "Fourth brother, if you stay here, it will be difficult for you to come to the door in the future."

Xie Xi thought about it and the same reason was true. For the sake of convenience in the future, he had to endure it for the time being.

After Xie Xi left, Lin Zisu immediately went to the front yard to find Bi Suinan.

Bi Suinan is now discussing the court with Lin Yuanzhi in the study in the front yard. Lin Zisu met Bi Suinan and said straight to the point: "Grandfather, the emperor will tell you in the past two days. If you ask about the sea ban in front of the cabinet, I wonder how you are going to answer correctly?"
