When Jin Jin from Nanzhi met the emperor, he saluted and said directly: "Your Majesty hopes that my ministers will speculate on the way to deal with it?"

"Yes." Han Ruzi needed a military advisor-style figure, once Yang Feng, later Zhao Ruosu, and now Nanzhijin.

"No need to speculate, within ten days, Your Majesty will receive a large number of memorials of resignation. Your Majesty can experience the difficulties without the court."

"I have expected it, so I hope you can send a message to the ministers: I will not surrender this time."

"Your Majesty overestimates my ability. When I was thinking about Your Majesty's worries before, I have never violated Your Majesty's Majesty? It's nothing more than trying my best to meet Your Majesty's needs, so that Your Majesty will ignore some aspects of things."

"Go with the flow." Han Ruzi immediately thought of this word.

"That's right, go with the flow." Nan Zhijin didn't know the origin of this word, "Your Majesty wants to go against the trend. The ministers can only provide a little prediction. If you can't do anything else, it's useless even if you swear to the ministers, they will only believe in their expectations, not the ministers' words."

"Then you guess again, is the minister's resignation sincere?"

"No one wants to lose his official position, but when there is no way out, he has to do this. The court will inevitably be in chaos at this moment. Your Majesty is far away from the capital and can do whatever he wants, but it also gives the ministers room to move around. They can win over, force and lure at will, and the ministers will unite."

"Even so, I will not give in." Han Ruzi said coldly.

"Isn't this good to let the ministers fight and your Majesty decide in the middle? After Prime Minister Zhuo took office, he has offended many people. The left censor Feng Ju's desire to compete for the prime minister has not completely disappeared. Many young scholars support the right censor Qu Zixi. These are all ready-made cracks in the court, just because His Majesty was too tight, the cracks did not expand, but became smaller and smaller."

The emperor hoped to use more traditional methods to govern the court.

"The problem now is not whether I can control the court, but whether the court can control the world. I have a deep feeling about this tour. The further away from the capital, the weaker the influence of the court. If I had not visited the East China Sea Kingdom in person, the Yan family would never have fallen. The people sent by the court would either be kept in the dark or had been bribed long ago."

Nan Zhijin was silent for a moment and assisting an emperor with a completely different mindset was even more difficult. There was only one way that might make the emperor make some concessions, that is, make the emperor feel more difficult.

"The ministers resigned only by the first step."

"What's next? Will the accompanying officials follow the footsteps of the ministers in the capital?"

"It shouldn't be. Any official under His Majesty's nose will protect himself. As I said just now, Your Majesty stayed away from the capital and gained freedom, and gave the ministers the courage."

Han Ruzi laughed, "You keep talking, what will be the second step for the minister?"

"The morale of the army is unstable."

Han Ruzi was silent for a while. This was indeed what he was most worried about, "Why is it unstable?"

"Your Majesty transferred from the capital in advance, the Northern Army and the Suwei Army were a good game, but most of the generals in the army were descendants of the aristocratic families. Your Majesty intends to take back his private slaves. The families of these people were most affected. Once they were inspired by their fathers and brothers, they were likely to do something."

"rebellion?"

Nan Zhijin shook his head, "Several armies were scattered everywhere, and none of them had obvious advantages. They were afraid of each other and should not go to the point of rebellion. The most important thing is that they could not find someone whom they hoped to replace His Majesty. According to the experience of the empress, the more common practice of generals in the army was to complain about illness, claiming that they had an old disease and could not lead their troops."

"A civil minister complains about his crimes, and a military general complains about his illness." Han Ruzi couldn't help but sneer.

"That's right, although the tricks are old, few emperors in all dynasties can handle these two tricks. They just arrested a few leaders to vent their anger, but at that time they had to choose to give in."

"Is there any more? Just these two tricks?" Han Ruzi asked.

Nan Zhijin glanced at the emperor and replied, "There is another move. For the ministers in the capital, this move is not fundamental, but it can protect their safety. Your Majesty stays away from the capital and loses the geographical advantage, and will also lose peace. If there is no accident, the Empress Dowager will be attracted by the ministers this time, and the ministers will be punished and ill, and the Empress Dowager's plea will come."

"Will the Queen Mother plead for the minister?"

"The Empress Dowager will plead for the Great Chu. I hope Your Majesty will put the country first and do not act alone. The Empress Dowager will plead for herself. I hope Your Majesty..." Nan Zhijin did not say anything further.

Of course, the Queen Mother and son have to mention the relationship between mother and son.

Han Ruzi was silent again. The minister's response method was more ruthless and more stable than the other. He only had a firm will and did not have a mature counterattack plan.

Nan Zhijin bowed and said, "If Your Majesty feels in a dilemma, there is still room for maneuver: punish the Yan family normally, take back the imperial edict of "borrowing slaves to open up the land", and instead encourage the land to be opened, and integrate it with the original plan of the court, and then continue to patrol the hunt, referring to the East China Sea Kingdom, solve the problem one by one, instead of swallowing it whole like now."

Prime Minister Zhuo Ruhe has been promoting land reclamation, suffering from insufficient population and progress is relatively slow, only Yunmengze is in a slightly better situation.

Nanzhijin wanted to stuff the emperor's will into the prime minister's strategy to reduce resistance.

Han Ruzi understood what he meant and understood that this was indeed a solution. After thinking for a while, he shook his head, "I have decided."

Han Ruzi must show her unshakable will to Nanzhijin.

Nan Zhijin sighed, "Since that's the case, I have nothing to say. I can only guess this step, but I can't think of a solution. If Your Majesty can successfully overcome these three levels, let's talk about what will happen in the future."

"Thank you." Han Ruzi said these two words sincerely. What's rare about Nan Zhijin is that he spoke on the side of the minister, and his speculation was more sharp and therefore it might be more accurate.

Han Ruzi had to come up with a way to deal with the minister's "three tricks". After all, he was not careful and urgently needed another "military advisor". Nan Zhijin was unwilling to do it, and others were either untrustworthy or had no talent. Han Ruzi really couldn't find any help for a while.

"If Yang Feng is still there..." Han Ruzi could only sigh. In the next few days, he would summon the accompanying consultants one after another, hoping to find one or two available people. At the same time, he was thinking carefully and often stayed up until midnight before going to bed.

Before the resignation memorial of the minister in the capital arrived, Huang Pu Gong came back first.

Luan Kai was a little confused, but his memory was very accurate. He took the Great Chu naval army and successfully found the pirates' hiding island. Jin Chunzhong went to the island to negotiate and finally wanted to return Huang Pugong. However, a large number of naval prisoners were still detained on the island, and the pirates still refused to surrender, waiting for Huang Pugong to fulfill his promise.

Giving the pirates the name of the Great Chu naval army and letting them "attack" the gods and ghosts and great Shanyu in a distance, this is the suggestion made by Huang Pugong to the pirates. Many people really take it seriously. When they think about being able to plunder overseas under the banner of Great Chu, they are very excited.

Han Ruzi didn't want to agree that the name of Da Chu was so noble, how could it be given to the pirates?

Duke Huang Pu was sent to the emperor's camp overnight. He was not criticized by the defeated general, but was summoned immediately.

Han Ruzi stood up to respond and smiled and said, "General Huang is back safely, and I am worth this trip."

Huang Pugong was wearing ordinary people's clothes and looked like a slave of the Yan family. He immediately knelt down, "The defeated general is not worthy of this trouble for Your Majesty. In the end, the general was incompetent, trapped the thief, and destroyed the soldiers of the Great Chu family, begged you to surrender."

These words were obviously not something that Huang Pugong could think of. Even if he had these ideas, he could not say "beg for punishment". The accompanying officials of the Ministry of Rites played a role. Even if they were dissatisfied with the emperor, they still fulfilled their duties and ensured that etiquette was not messy.

"What is the crime of the general being harmed by a traitor? General Huang is calm." Han Ruzi also responded according to "ritual".

The king and his minister chatted for a while, and the accompanying people retreated one after another, and in the end there were only seven or eight people, including eunuchs, guards, generals, and two officials.

After all, Huang Pugong was born as a pirate, and all parties were worried that he would meet the emperor alone.

"Since General Huang is back, he will continue to serve as General Lou Ship and command the navy. General Huang thinks when will he start a war against the pirates again?"

Huang Pugong bowed and said, "I wrote in the letter that pirates will be suppressed in endlessly, so it is better to lead to the enemy country."

Han Ruzi frowned slightly, "I think that's just a temporary solution to rescue General Huang. The pirates are hesitant at the moment. It's the best time to attack, and it may be determined by a battle to rescue the captured soldiers of the Great Chu."

"The Mo Jiang met several captured Western merchants on the island. I heard that the waters of the Great Chu are connected to the West. The army of the gods and ghosts and great Shanyu have conquered many ports, but they do not like to take boats, so they destroyed all ships and prohibited merchants from passing. The Mo Jiang did feel that moving westward by sea may have miraculous effects."

"General Huang believes in a group of pirates? They will take charge of their old business halfway and rob them everywhere. There are quite a country in the South Ocean that pays tribute to the Great Chu. How can Dameng lead the disaster to such small countries?"

"If your Majesty believes in the last general, the last general voluntarily leads the pirates westward, and only needs an imperial edict to request the supply of the island countries along the way."

Han Ruzi was surprised, "The Great Chu is at the time of employment. I have high hopes for General Huang. Why did General Huang leave?"

"Before the last general went to war, I heard General Deng from the Western Regions lead his army to attack. The last general recognized the words: Why did the Great Chu have to wait for the enemy to attack?"

Han Ruzi still shook her head. Deng Cui was a headache. There was no following to date and we must never lose Huang Pugong again.

"General Huang suffered for many days, so let's go and rest first."

Mr. Huang Pu knelt down and thanked him, "Your Majesty has long-term plans, and he should have long-term plans. He just wants to do it without doing it. No matter how much he thinks, it is useless."

Everyone in the tent frowned, feeling that Huang Pugong could not speak, especially a small official from the Ministry of Rites, who blamed himself deeply, thinking that it was all his fault and did not train Huang Pugong well.

However, Han Ruzi's heart was moved. After everyone withdrew, he pondered alone for a long time, not Huang Pugong, but a large number of resignations and memorials that were about to come.

Huang Pugong wanted to attack the gods and ghosts from the sea by surprise. Where is the unguarded "water area" of the imperial court?
