Zhou Chen and Liu Zhong left.

Head to Jiangnan in high spirits!

After being deceived by Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu, the two of them are now high-spirited and high-spirited.

After all, both of them have a big mission. Zhou Chen is to save the suffering civilians in Jiangnan, while Liu Zhong is to revitalize the Jinyiwei.

With the same goal in mind, the two immediately set off for Jiangnan.

Zhu Gaoxu locked himself in the study all night, until Little Nose hurried over the next day to announce his entrance to the palace.

Although Zhu Gaoxu was very confused about this, after all Zhu Di had heard it personally, he still didn't dare to play any tricks.

However, when he hurried to Qianqing Palace, a pile of memorials fell directly on his face.

"Rebellious son!"

"You rebellious bastard!"

"Look at the good things you have done! These are all to impeach you, the Prince of Han!"

Zhu Gaoxu was suddenly slapped on the face by a bunch of memorials, and he was so angry that he almost started to quarrel with this thief.

Fortunately, he barely suppressed his anger, lowered his head and picked up a memorial. Only after reading it did he understand.

It turned out to be because of the slave trade.

Last time, he convinced the three giants Jin Zhong, Jian Yi, and Xia Yuanji, and opened the Shibo Department without stopping.

The so-called Shipping Department refers to the government offices established in various seaports in the Song, Yuan, and early Ming dynasties to manage foreign trade at sea. It is equivalent to the customs and is the organ that manages foreign trade in ancient China.

The municipal shipping companies of the Ming Dynasty were mainly Quanzhou, Fujian, Mingzhou (Ningbo), Zhejiang, and Guangzhou, Guangdong.

The Shibo Division in Guangzhou, Guangdong was specially set up to pay tribute to Champa (Vietnam), Siam (Thailand), Manchuria (Malaysia), Chenla (Cambodia) and other countries; the Shibo Division in Mingzhou, Zhejiang Province The one in Quanzhou, Fujian was specially set up to pay tribute to the Japanese nation; the Shibo Division in Quanzhou, Fujian was specially set up to pay tribute to Ryukyu.

However, due to the increasingly rampant Japanese pirates in the late Hongwu period, Emperor Taizu Gao directly implemented a strict prohibition policy and even abolished the three-city shipping department for a time.

During the Yongle period, due to Zheng He's voyages to the West, overseas countries came to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute and trade. In order to show the majesty of the Celestial Empire, the court added many customs ports.

For example, Huaiyuan Post was set up in Guangzhou, Laiyuan Post was set up in Quanzhou, and Anyuan Post was set up in Ningbo. The Municipal Shipping Department was in charge of receiving tribute envoys and their entourages from various countries. There was also a Municipal Shipping Department in Yuntun, Jiaozhi, specifically to receive the people from the southwest. National tribute envoy.

Most of these impeachment memorials are aimed at Ningbo Anyuanyi, or the Japanese slave trade!

Because the prince of the Han Dynasty, the superintendent of the country, strongly supported this matter against all opinions, Zheng He's navy committed all kinds of crimes in the Japanese country, burning, killing and looting, and plundered a large number of Japanese slaves and sent them to Anyuan Post.

Zhu Gaoxu was not idle either. After convincing the three giants last time, he met with Xia Yuanji, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, and arranged for Gu Pu, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, to preside over the matter.

It turns out that Gu Pu, an old boy, is a civil servant after all, and he is opposed to the slave trade.

Thanks to his intentional leaks, everyone now knows that the imperial court purchased and stockpiled a large number of Japanese slaves in Anyuanyi, Ningbo, and were sending them to various construction sites to serve as hard labor.

As soon as this news came out, it was so incredible that it exploded instantly!

The imperial court conducts slave trading, which is simply crazy!

In the past, the Ming Dynasty was gentle and benevolent. It used benevolence to conquer neighboring countries and established its status as a great country.

But when King Zhu Gaoxu of Han came to supervise the country's governance, everything changed!

As the kings implemented the policy of opening up to the outside world, the princes of the clan led war troops to attack neighboring countries in all directions, causing unrest in the whole world.

If there are excuses and reasons for the kings to persuade the world to go abroad, then this Japanese slave trade is simply crazy and unscrupulous!

Cheng Zhu Jinshen seemed to have found an excellent opportunity to fight back. Officials from all over the country impeached him as the prince of Han Dynasty, and almost called him a national traitor!

No wonder Zhu Di, a thief like this, would be so angry. If Zhu Gaoxu had seen it himself, he would inevitably be angry.

The literati's pen is really vicious and cruel!

However, Zhu Gaoxu had already been fully prepared, so he was not panicking at all now.

"Father, please figure it out before you get angry. If the three giants like Jin Zhongjian, Yi Xia Yuanji and others don't agree to this matter, would my son dare to do it?"

Zhu Di was stunned when he heard this, and then decisively ordered people to invite the three giants.

"You traitor, kneel down before me!"

Doubts are doubts, anger is still anger.

Zhu Di has always been dissatisfied with his second son, and now that he has the opportunity, he naturally wants to punish him.

The three giants rushed over after receiving the order. As soon as they entered the hall, they saw His Majesty the Emperor cursing at the King of Han Zhu Gaoxu.

Well, it’s still a familiar scene, and it’s still a familiar smell.

When Zhu Di saw the Big Three arriving, he reluctantly put away his anger.

"My dear friends, have you ever known about the Japanese slave trade?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuanji did not hesitate and said directly: "Your Majesty, this is a good thing!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the King of Han discussed this matter with us and unanimously approved it!"

"Your Majesty, this is a benevolent policy, and the imperial court should fully support it!"

Zhu Di: "???"

What?

what's going on?

Is this still benevolent government?

Are these three old guys crazy?

Or maybe I heard it wrong due to dazzling eyes and tinnitus?

Emperor Yongle froze on the spot and began to doubt his life.

The three giants were very sensible when they saw this, and explained all the benefits of the Japanese slave trade in detail.

Just the idea of ​​liberating the hard laborers of major engineering projects, allowing them to return to their hometowns to farm with peace of mind, and increase the grain output of the Ming Dynasty, made Zhu Di instantly moved.

After listening to the explanations of the three giants, Zhu Di glanced at the Han King Zhu Gaoxu who was kneeling on the ground, and his expression became very exciting.

Hiss... so embarrassing!

It seemed that I had wrongly blamed Lao Er this time.

I just scolded my dick and almost kicked him, but I found out that he was right. How should we end it now?

Zhu Di looked at the three giants, who were expressionless and did not dare to say a word.

The three of them are not stupid. You have wrongly blamed the King of Han Dynasty. You have to find a way to solve it yourself. What do you think the three of us will do?

The three of us will not interfere in the affairs between you father and son.

In desperation, Zhu Di could only cough twice.

"Ahem, dick, the ground is cold, get up quickly!"

"Dad, let Nie Xing go!"

"Let it go, let it go, what a big deal..."

The father and son looked at each other and smiled, like a pair of big and small foxes.

Only then did Zhu Gaoxu stand up and said with a smile: "Dad, you can actually take this opportunity to directly abolish the slave status and allow these slaves to become good people and change their careers."

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di and the three giants all changed their expressions.

Because the proposal of the King of Han was too implicated.

"To put it bluntly, the reason why these gentry and gentry all filed an impeachment petition against this matter is because the Japanese slave trade touches their interests!"

"Of these officials, who doesn't have dozens or hundreds of servants in their homes? But these servants are all Han people, and they are all citizens of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Once the Japanese slave trade took shape, why couldn't the imperial court abolish the slave status and liberate this astonishing number of Han people, so that they could become good people and cultivate the land to resume production?"

"Dad, this alone is enough to rank first in your martial arts. It will be famous and famous for generations to come!"

Zhu Di: "!!!"

Abolish slavery!

Rule number one!

Become an emperor through the ages!
