    There are no gentlemen in the Ming Dynasty.

    Although it was an era when Confucianism was regarded as Chinese culture, and perhaps the poor scholars honestly followed the Confucian way of tolerance, the scholars who became officials could not be regarded as pure scholars. They were just profiteers.  Their appearance is always sanctimonious, because ugly people cannot be officials. However, once someone violates their interests and seeks fame and power, they will inevitably become the target of their eradication. They will never be lenient and will punish them no matter how far away they are.

    Being able to survive in such a harsh environment to this day, and to live in a high and powerful position, made the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty dislike him and couldn't kill him. Qin Kan couldn't help but admire his ability.

    "You smoked them away, and they turned around and came to me to complain. The matter was very difficult. They were all lying in the hall crying like mourning. Fortunately, you did not go to court today, otherwise I doubt they would do what they did to Ma Shun during the reign of Emperor Daizong.  Beat you to death in front of me, what can't these old bastards do in the name of righteousness? I have no choice but to temporarily take a beating in the Golden Palace" Zhu Houzhao sighed helplessly, for the sake of  In order to show his righteousness in front of Qin Kan, Bo Yuntian sighed and twisted his hands into a strange angle, then his eyes were crooked, his mouth was slanted and his whole body was shaking, to restore the image of how sacrificial he was at that time.

    Qin Kan praised: "Your Majesty's twitching is very expressive. Look at those cross-eyed eyes Can ordinary people fight at this level? These are not cross-eyed. They are simply dragon's eyes that focus on one point"

    Zhu Houzhao immediately returned to normal, glared at Qin Kan and said: "Can you be more serious? I really have a headache in the Golden Palace, and I'm really going to have a headache."

    Sighing heavily, Zhu Hou looked at Qin Kan and said hesitantly: "Qin Kan, I know that you have great ambitions, and I also know that everything you do is for my good and the good of the Ming Dynasty. So your  I support any suggestion without reservation. You said that when building ships and going to sea, you should first seek personal gain before seeking the world. In the future, the sea ban will be lifted, and everyone from wealthy merchants to ordinary people can sail out to sea calmly and communicate with all nations.  Vassals exchange wealth with each other, and only by keeping wealth among the people can a country be prosperous and its army strong. I understand these principles"

    After a pause, Zhu Houzhao looked full of frustration: "But now you have seen the reaction of the courtiers. I didn't expect that just to build a few ships to make some money for ourselves, they are so incompatible, and there is a lot of struggle."  Qin Kan, there are so many ways to strengthen a country, why did you choose a road with no future? In my opinion, we should retreat and give up quietly, even I am aware of it.  There are many dangers on this road, and those who know the current affairs are heroes. It is actually not shameful to give up at this time"

    Qin Kan's face darkened slightly, and his heart was filled with infinite bitterness.

    Even the emperor who supported him the most persuaded him to give up. Is it really impossible to establish a sea ban?  The great ambition set on Chongming Island was to change the world in this life. Now after three or four years of hard work, I finally saw a glimmer of hope. Now I am unknowingly in a desperate situation. If I really give up this road, I will be in the future.  Other ministers have also lost their ideals and ambitions, and only work for fame and fortune throughout their lives. So what if they become extremely popular ministers in the future?  I have changed my own official destiny, but I cannot change the destiny of the country. Is it meaningful to live like this for a lifetime?

    In the main hall of the Leopard House, the monarch and his ministers fell into a long and rare silence.

    This was a real difficult time both internally and externally. Both of them seemed to have lost their opinions. After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he kept staring at Qin Kan with complicated eyes.

    After a long time, Qin Kan suddenly stood up and looked at Zhu Houzhao with burning eyes.

    ¡°When His Majesty Ying Zhichen was just a small guard in the East City of Nanjing, he once led more than a hundred of his lieutenants out of Nanjing and climbed to Chongming Island to fight against the Japanese pirates"

    Zhu Houzhao nodded: "I remember this very clearly."

    Qin Kan's voice was a little dry, and he sighed: "The battle was fierce. Twelve Japanese pirates chased thousands of Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers all over the ground. The Jinyi Guards team to which I belonged killed more than ten people in front of the formation.  The bullets could not suppress the flight of the officers and soldiers. After the officers and soldiers fled, only the minister and dozens of imperial guards were left on the battlefield. Later, the minister first picked up a spear and held it in his hand. With the ambition of death in mind, he stabbed the first soldier without hesitation.  Gun, we won that battle!"

    Looking deeply at Zhu Houzhao, Qin Kan said: "Your Majesty, what is the difference between today's situation and the time when Chongming fought against the Japanese? The same extremely vicious enemy, the same cowardly Pao Ze, and the same desperate situation with no retreat!  Your Majesty, my choice remains the same as before, I will not retreat!"

    The word "not retreat", like a spring thunder, exploded in Zhu Houzhao's ears. Zhu Houzhao stood up suddenly, his nose opened and closed rapidly, and a flush of excitement appeared on his young and immature face.

      "Your Majesty, you are determined to die and move forward without hesitation. Anyone who stands in your way is just a matter of life and death! I don't have enough knowledge to imitate the saints in killing people, but I can imitate the knights in killing people. I have decided on the Ming Dynasty's sea ban!"

    "Okay! Qin Kan, since you have great ambitions, how can I be inferior to you? You and I, the king and the ministers, will work together to do this great thing well and show it to them. Let's see how Qing history will judge it thousands of years later."

    ***************************************************  *****************

    When he walked out of the Leopard Room, Qin Kan looked a little tired.

    The heroic words were spoken. Just as he said just now, he had no way out. To retreat would be to die.

    Ding Shun went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang in person on Qin Kan's order to investigate the collusion between local maritime merchants and imperial officials. Outside Xihua Pond, the person who came to greet him was Li Er, his old Nanjing subordinate.

    Qin Kan stood still in front of Li Er with a thoughtful expression. He stared blankly at the horse reins handed over by Li Er, but did not reach out to take it.

    After a while, Qin Kan got on his horse. Li Er waved to the dozens of guards around him, and everyone gathered around Qin Kan to return home.

    The sound of horse hooves trampled on the road paved with bluestones. Everyone seemed to feel Qin Kan's gloomy mood and followed him quietly.

    After riding on the horse for a while, Qin Kan suddenly said lightly: "Li Er"

    "My subordinates are here."

    "Send someone to tell Yan Song, the prefect of Tianjin, to speed up the installation of eight warships. Each ship is equipped with thirty Fran cannons. They will be launched into the water for trial operation in three days and sail to the islands where Japanese pirates have frequent activities. Whether they are real Japanese or Japanese pirates,  Fake Japanese, let me destroy their islands!"

    "yes!"

    A guard hurriedly walked out of the team, saluted and ran towards Chaoyang Gate outside the city.

    Qin Kan's mood relaxed a little. This move was a shock to the mountain, not only to the Japanese pirates, but also to the civil servants in the capital.

    The group of people walked slowly to the West City. When Chaoyang Gate was already in sight, murderous intent appeared without warning.

    Upstairs in a wine shop on the left side of the street, the wooden window suddenly opened a small crack, and a sharp arrow with a blue and cold light stretched out from the crack, and the tip of the arrow pointed directly at Qin Kan's neck (note  Please visit our website: www.hlnovel.com
