Chapter 983 Let's talk about the ancestral system

As expected, as soon as Yang Feng's note came out, the entire Golden Palace seemed to be in a panic. At this moment, countless sharp arrows shot at him.

To put it in an old saying, if the eyes could kill someone, Yang Feng would have died countless times.

But who are we, Daguan Yang? He is not afraid of real swords and guns. He is not afraid of just a few gazes. Feeling the countless hot gazes coming from behind him, he bowed and said after reading the memorial.

"Your Majesty, since Fujian lifted the sea ban, Fujian Customs can add tens of millions of taels of silver to the Ming Dynasty every year. The originally barren Fujian can still contribute so much taxes to the court. Jiangnan was originally the richest place in the Ming Dynasty. If Jiangnan also lifted the sea ban, I feel that the taxes collected every year will definitely be several times that of Fujian. I think that for the Ming Dynasty and for Your Majesty, the sea ban in the provinces in Jiangnan must be lifted."

Before Zhu Youxiao could speak, someone immediately jumped out: "Yang Feng, the sea ban was decided by Emperor Taizu Gao. What crime should you bewitch Your Majesty's violation of the ancestral system? Besides, Jiangnan is a place where the Ming Dynasty has taxes. If there is a trouble caused by the unauthorized lifting of the sea ban, how many of your heads will be enough to cut off?"

Yang Feng looked at it and was immediately happy. Isn’t this censor who was knocked down by him during the morning court yesterday?

"Oh... sir, have the injury on your face healed? I'm so embarrassed. Yesterday, I used a little more force and knocked you out. I'm really sorry. I'm sorry for you here. It's okay, I will pay attention next time, and I'll be gentle."

When I first heard the previous sentence, everyone at noon was stunned. Oh... The Marquis of Jiangning who has always been arrogant... No, Duke Xin actually apologized for someone, but the sun came out from the west.

However, Yang Feng's words then made people vomit blood again. I will give him a gentler next time. Listen, is this what people say?

"You...you..."

The censor who still didn't know his name pointed at him, his fingers trembled, and his cheeks, which were still red and swollen, also trembled. Finally, he closed his eyes and repeated the mistakes he had yesterday and fainted.

As the censor fainted, there was another turmoil in the Golden Palace. Several colleagues who had good relationships with him on weekdays rushed over and fucked him.

Looking at the censor who was being carried down, Yang Feng spread his hands at Zhu Youxiao and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, you really can't blame Weichen this time. Weichen just apologized to him. He never thought that this adult fainted again after being overly surprised. Fortunately, you and so many colleagues are watching here, otherwise Weichen would really not be able to wash his eyes even if he jumped to the Yellow River."

"you……"

Zhu Youxiao was also so angry that he pointed at Yang Feng and didn't know what to say. This guy looks quite reliable on weekdays, but why did he become mad dogs when he met these civil servants, but his mouth was so poisonous that I didn't know how to favor you.

After a while, Zhu Youxiao then said: "Okay, Yang Aiqing was also unintentional. Since Gu Song's injury has not healed, he should have rested more, otherwise he will faint at any time, which is the norm."

Comrade Xiao Zhu's note was a magical final blow. The censor who had finally been awakened suddenly turned his eyes after hearing his words, and was so angry that he fainted.

"Well……"

Seeing his subordinates who were fainted by anger, Zhu Youxiao was also embarrassed. He coughed twice and asked in a louder voice: "My servants, the proposal of Duke Xinguo has just made sense. The achievements made by Fujian since the establishment of customs are obvious to all. Now Duke Xinguo proposes that Jiangnan also lift the maritime ban. I wonder what you have to do with your opinion?"

"Your Majesty, you must not do it at this time. The sea ban is the ancestral system set by Emperor Taizu Gao. The customs of the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River have been implemented for hundreds of years and have been peaceful. If the sea ban is rashly lifted and caused chaos in the people, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger!"

"Ancestral System?" When Zhu Youxiao heard about the ancestral system, he felt annoyed. These turtle sons often used the ancestral system to suppress him, as if once he destroyed the ancestral system, he would be a thousand-legged sinner of the old Zhu family, making it difficult for him to get angry.

When Yang Feng, who was standing beside him, saw that his boss was criticized, he naturally wanted to come out to help.

He stood up and sneered, "This adult talks about the ancestral system and keeps talking about the ancestral system. Since we talk about the ancestral system, let's talk about it carefully. I remember that Emperor Taizu Gao did not just formulate the ancestral system for the sea ban.

For example, Emperor Taizu Gao issued the "Great Edict" in the 18th year of Hongwu. Where is it today? I think that Your Majesty can issue a new order to order the Ministry of Rites to promulgate the "Great Edict" again, and the laws of the Ming Dynasty will also be based on the "Great Edict" again. I wonder what you guys wish to do?"

"Crazy..."

If Yang Feng said just now that Jiangnan lifted the sea ban was stabbing the Donglin Party and the gentry in Jiangnan, the sentence now would be that it would still be a nuclear bomb in the Golden Palace.

What is the "Great Edict"?

In modern people's words, "The Great Edict" is a criminal law written by Comrade Zhu himself, and it is a criminal law specifically targeting officials.

The "Great Edict" includes four parts, including "Great Edict", "Great Edict Successor", "Great Edict Three", and "Great Edict Martial Ministers", and are collectively called "Imperial Great Edict".

The punishment for officials was so severe that it could make the officials wake up in the middle of the night. It was all about tattooing ink, stitching, and knee removal. It was not uncommon to execute silly and peel and fill grass.

If Yang Feng is an enemy of the Donglin Party and the gentry in Jiangnan, then this "Great Edict" is the common enemy of all the officials of the Ming Dynasty.

When Comrade Lao Zhu was alive, he asked every household in the people to have a "Great Edict". However, in less than a hundred years after Lao Zhu's death, the imperial holy book, the four collections of "Great Edicts", was once recited by the Tibetans.

During the Qing Dynasty, when the Manchus wanted to compile the "History of Ming Dynasty", they searched all over the country but couldn't find a "Great Edict", so that later generations could only know the general content of the book from the word of mouth of their predecessors, which shows how the officials of the Ming Dynasty hated this book.

Now Yang Feng actually proposed to re-edit the "Great Edict". For a moment, the officials present were extremely angry at first, and then they felt weak. If the Ming Dynasty really wanted to re-execute the "Great Edict", it would be great that one percent of the officials who survived the entire Ming Dynasty would be able to survive.

Seeing that no one was talking in the Golden Palace, Yang Feng looked at the three cabinet masters, including Sun Chengzong, Zhu Guozhen, Han Yu, and others standing on the left, and grinned and said, "Gei Sun, you are the chief minister of the cabinet. The master just said that we must follow the ancestral system. No problem. Since that is the case, we can even follow the "Great Edict". What do you think?"

"Mom sells a purchase..."
