The ministers entered one after another, and when they entered the hall, they met the emperor and the empress dowager. After the ceremony, they all lowered their heads and kept silent, waiting for others to speak first.

The outbreak of the "Kangxi" case completely changed the atmosphere of the imperial meeting. Originally, the Han ministers were all trying to show their faces in front of the Empress Dowager, but now they are hiding from afar. The regent ministers hummed and hahaha, all of them looked irresponsible.

Oboi, who was originally valued by the Empress Dowager, has not had much energy these two days. Prince Kang and King Anqing initially concentrated their firepower on Sony. When the chief royalist became mute, the firepower of the Prince immediately turned to Oboi. Originally, the bannermen in Beijing had the greatest doubts about Sony. Everyone said that the word "Kangxi" was first taken out by Sony, but Prince An actually took the initiative to rescue Sony, saying that the word "Kang" was first proposed by Oboi.

Prince An's words hit him down, but he smashed Oboi very much. Every time he thought of this, Oboi was furious: "There were several years of age names that my staff had come up with, among which the third-ranked year name had the character Kang, but that was also 'Kant', not 'Kangxi'!"

Under the inducement and suggestion of the Prince, the bombardment of Oboi has now begun to surpass Sony. The Prince, which used to claim that it was the Han people who leaked the news, has now begun to "carefully suspect" among the bannermen that it may be the aides of the important officials, servants and even their families who leaked the intelligence - even if this statement is true, the joint and several liability for killing the former emperor is enough to make the important officials look for a rope and hang it. This is the reason why Oboi refused to investigate at home no matter what.

Now, the important officials group not only cannot investigate and do detailed work, but also insists that the "Kangxi" case is a rumor, and Deng Ming does not mean that at all. The important officials group must hold on to the death, and the year name cannot be changed. As long as the emperor reaches adulthood and Deng Ming is wiped out, this incident will become a unsolved case in history books.

"What do you think about the ban on the sea?" The country still needs to operate and the war must continue. Today, the focus of the Empress Dowager summoned the royal guards to discuss is not how to fight back against the princes, but to determine the next strategy and national policy.

"Sony must say justice at this time." Oboi muttered silently in his heart. Shunzhi was very interested in Huang Wu's sea ban strategy. When Shunzhi talked about this, Sony and Oboi both felt that although the losses caused by the sea ban might be greater, as long as Zheng Chenggong also suffered losses, it would be acceptable. The governors and governors from all over the country did not have much objection to this, especially the officials of the Northwest were not concerned about it; and the considerations of the governors in the southeast were mainly focused on the suspension of sea trade.

In terms of the influence of the vassal treasury, however, the vassal treasury has always been directly under the jurisdiction of the Central Ministry of Revenue. Liangjiang, Huguang and Fujian were in urgent need of war, and the Ministry of Revenue temporarily handed over the management power to the Governor's Office, but sooner or later the Ministry of Revenue would still take it back. Therefore, the governors in the southeast could not use this as an excuse to reduce the remittance of land taxes. They were not very concerned about the vassal treasury, and the opposition was not very loud. Basically, the implementation of the ban on the sea was already a policy determined by Shunzhi, and it was only a matter of being issued and implemented.

But the situation is completely different from that time. Deng Ming's harassment of the Southeast was so frequent and long-term, which can be regarded as an invasion and competition. Zheng Chenggong's pressure could not be eliminated for a long time. The days when Liangjiang and Fujian vassal treasury were reclaimed under the control of the Ministry of Revenue were nowhere to be achieved. If the sea ban was banned, it would inevitably affect the governors in the Southeast. At that time, they would have sufficient reasons to refuse to pay taxes in full.

Moreover, Shunzhi and the ministers did not expect that the canal transport would be threatened by the Sichuan army. If the canal was seriously threatened, the Qing court could consider sending the southeast grain and silver to the north through sea transportation. Chongzhen thought about doing this, but he had to give up because of the complex interest relationship on the canal. However, the Qing court was different from the Ming Dynasty. If the canal efficiency was within an acceptable range, they did not need to carry out too much reforms; if Deng Ming had a great threat to the canal transport and the Qing court had to pay too much price to maintain the canal transport, the Qing court could turn the canal transport into sea transportation. Compared with the Ming Dynasty in Chongzhen, the current Beijing court had higher ability to operate and the resistance to the canal reform was smaller. If the Qing court insisted on banning the sea, burned sea ships on its own, destroyed the sea transport terminals and stopped manufacturing new ships, if the canal transport was threatened again in the future, the Qing court would have no alternative plan, and could only maintain the canal transport at all costs.

"The slave has no objection." Sony replied slowly.

"It's so ungrateful." At this time, not only Oboi, but also the other ministers of the regent and the Han ministers who participated in the imperial meeting.

Sony's agreement to ban the sea was obviously out of his personal interests. Without the "Kangxi" case, Sony might have dared to reject the established policies of the predecessor, but now Sony definitely does not have the courage.

Not long ago, the governors of Liangjiang and Fujian and Zhejiang made a big turn of 180 degrees and submitted memorials to approve the ban on the sea. It is obvious that officials from these four provinces could not reclaim the vassal treasury after the Battle of Gaoyou Lake, and officials from the four provinces could use the ban on the sea to make profits. In addition to smuggling, it is undoubtedly a profitable thing to seize the property of the sea merchant and move to the people. At that time, who is a maritime merchant and who is not a maritime merchant, the relocation location is one mile or one mile less, and it is the final decision of the local government and clerks. This is undoubtedly a good opportunity for extortion.

Officials along the canal also agree to the ban on the sea, which will cause potential competitors of the canal transportation to die. Since the canal transportation is the only and irreplaceable artery of the court, the court will inevitably invest more resources in it in the future. Now every year, from Yangzhou to Beijing, the officials along the three thousand-mile waterway will make a fortune by smuggling, entraining and judging. These officials who are closely related to the canal transportation also have extensive connections in the capital. Even the family of the auxiliary ministers, there are often gift-giving envoys sent by these officials.

"Let's let down the holy grace! How do you go underground to meet the emperor in the future?" Oboi felt very angry at Sony's inaction. Undoubtedly, taking the lead in asking the court to reconsider the ban on the sea will offend many officials, and the number of envoys who come to the house to give gifts will be greatly reduced. However, Oboi believes that Sony, as the head of the auxiliary minister and the first confidant of the emperor, should make certain sacrifices for the benefit of the royal family.

"Where are you, Obai?" The Empress Dowager's eyes turned to Obai.

"There is no objection to me!" Oboi replied quickly. After the Kangxi case broke out, he naively thought that Sony would be the main target of political enemies. He not only protected himself, but also helped the chief assistant minister say a few fair words. But soon Oboi realized that he was very wrong. Prince An Yuele appeared in person to help Sony clear his suspicion and attract everyone's suspicion to Oboi. Prince Kang Jieshu has the same status as the patriarch of the Aisin Gioro family. He praised Sony's contribution in a high-profile manner, expressing his belief that Sony is cautious and that the information should not have been leaked from his mansion - but Jieshu has never commented on Oboi like this, but there were some malicious hints.

At this time, Oboi suddenly remembered that after Dorgon died, Sony did not send his daughter to the palace to serve the emperor, but instead sent a daughter to Yue Le as a concubine. As a slave of the Aisin Gioro family, it was normal for him to send his daughter to the prince's house to be a concubine. However, Oboi felt that Sony was a bit embarrassing at that time. After all, they were no longer ordinary slaves, but important officials in front of the emperor. Sony might be able to speak more than Yue Le. At this time, not only did he not hold his daughter to the throne of the queen, but he also sent her to the prince as a concubine, which was a bit too belittled. For example, Oboi definitely did not do such a thing.

However, it seems that the princes obviously appreciate Sony's behavior, and Sony's daughter is also favored by Yue Le. Oboi didn't know if he didn't check it. He was shocked when he checked it. As a concubine, he actually gave birth to six children in eight years, and now he is pregnant with another one. It seems that Yue Le will really make trouble in the future and let Sony's grandson become his heir to the throne of the prince.

As the chief auxiliary minister, Sony will definitely be attacked by the princes at the beginning, but when Sony shut up quickly, Jieshu and Yue Le will continue to chase and attack. On the contrary, Oboi, the second-ranked auxiliary minister, was attacked by the princely party. Now Oboi is almost unable to hold on, and he will never jump out and offend a large group of people again.

"You are also from the two yellow flags." After hearing Sony and Oboi's answer, Suksaha contempts them both. Due to Suksaha's embarrassing status, he was attacked a lot, and many people suspected that it was the guy from the two white flags who betrayed the last emperor. But Suksaha knew very well that he was innocent. He estimated that most of the traitors were one of Sony and Oboi. Suksaha's feelings for these two people are very similar to a sketch in Deng Ming's previous life: I didn't expect that, I didn't expect that Sony and Oboi, you two thick eyebrows and big eyes, were also traitors. (Salute to Mr. Chen Peisi)

"Sure enough, there are traitors, and they may even be traitors. The ban on the sea may not be beneficial. You should postpone it. At least you have to see the pros and cons clearly before you can decide." Suksaha was thinking in his heart, and saw that the Empress Dowager's eyes had already hit his face, and hurriedly bowed: "Slave has no objection! Go ahead quickly."

It is already embarrassing that Suksaha joins the ranks of the regent ministers as the two white flags. The two yellow flags do not regard him as their own. Many people in the two white flags regard him as a traitor. He was suspected of participating in several important imperial meetings. If the Empress Dowager was forced to throw a scapegoat out, Suksaha doubted that he had a high chance of being elected-he would never be the leader of the sea ban.

The fourth-ranked Ebilong has always been secretly happy that he was unable to return to Beijing in time. Although some people who were unaware of the inside story also regarded him as a suspect, most of the Eight Banners' eyes were still sharp, and they knew that Ebilong was still in another place during the imperial meeting.

"The slave has no objection! The forbidden sea is imperative!" Ebilon said respectfully. Now Sony and Oboi don't know which one will be the chief target. Oboi seems to lead by a slight advantage but has not yet opened up the distance. Suksaha follows closely. Ebilon's situation is very favorable. He is the least eye-catching among the ministers of the regent - this good momentum must be maintained, and don't show off or attract hatred. As long as you don't make mistakes, you won't be too many shots.
