Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Zhao Xi's face showed excitement.

I can't wait to start clapping and celebrating the punishment of Qin Ming.

Several officials from Concubine Xiao's lineage all breathed a sigh of relief.

Once the prince goes to Lingnan, he probably will never have the chance to come back.

It's a good thing for everyone that there's one less strong rival in the court.

But at this moment, Prime Minister Chen Shimao walked out with a frown.

"Your Majesty, this matter has not yet been investigated. How can you make such a decision based on their one-sided statement?"

Emperor Qian suddenly felt humiliated and asked in a cold voice:

"Chen Shimao, are you saying that Qin Ming didn't do anything?"

"Your Majesty, I simply feel that this matter is suspicious and requires investigation before making a decision. Otherwise, it would be too hasty."

Chen Shimao didn't show any fear on his face and spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"presumptuous!"

"The beating is true, and the rioting in the streets is also true. Could it be that this rebellious son is holding a grudge and deliberately doing it for me to see?"

"His Majesty……"

"No need to say more! Just do it this way, and no one is allowed to mention it again!"

Emperor Qian did not give Chen Shimao any more chance to speak and interrupted him directly.

Chen Shimao clenched his fists.

Look at this emperor who can't distinguish between good and evil.

At this moment, he just felt dizzy and sad about the future of this dynasty!

His body swayed and Chen Shimao almost fell to the ground.

Just at this moment, Qian Cai walked up and supported him.

"Your Majesty, I have a script!"

"explain."

Qian Cai took out the memorial and said:

"All the merchant ships from Southeast Asia have arrived at the Maritime Customs Office in Beijing, awaiting this year's cargo transactions. Your Majesty, please arrange for someone to preside over the transaction."

"The merchant ships from Nanyang are coming!?"

A look of joy appeared on the faces of everyone in the court.

Emperor Qian's originally angry expression suddenly changed.

Trading with Nanyang Chuansheng is an activity they hold every year.

You can make a profit of millions of taels of silver at a time.

Not only can it ease the financial situation of the imperial court, but it can also obtain many rare items from the South Sea countries.

"it is good!"

Emperor Qian was very pleased.

But he soon thought of a problem.

"Hasn't it been you guys who's been in charge every year? Why do you want me to personally appoint someone this year?"

Qian Cai smiled and said:

"Your Majesty, the people who have handled this matter over the years have all left, so you need to arrange one."

"Who left?"

Emperor Qian frowned slightly and spoke in confusion.

Qian Cai uttered two words lightly.

"Your Highness."

……

Suddenly, the lively atmosphere in the court suddenly froze!

Emperor Qian, who was still smiling, also froze.

"Why is it him?!"

Qian Cai said coldly:

"Your Majesty, don't you know that the Maritime Customs Office was established by Your Highness, and that the Nanyang Merchant Fleet was also contacted by Your Highness?"

"Even the sea charts they hold were specially drawn by Your Highness and sent to them to help them find their way to Daqian to trade!"

These words surprised Emperor Qian.

Over the years, he really hadn't learned much about shipping.

No one knows how much effort Qin Ming has put in during this period.

Like the other officials in the court, Emperor Qian only knew that these fleets had arrived in the Great Qian Empire.

Year after year, they make more and more money.

Qian Cai continued:

"Your Highness is no longer in charge of this matter, but there are so many Nanyang merchant caravans that it is difficult for me and the Ministry of Revenue to control the trade with Nanyang. I request that Your Majesty arrange for another capable person to come and help."

Emperor Qian finally got the taste.

Qian Cai was expressing his dissatisfaction with Qin Ming being demoted to Lingnan!

With a cold snort, Emperor Qian glared at him and said:

"You mean, without Qin Ming, your entire Ministry of Revenue won't be able to manage the trade in Southeast Asia?"

"Then what use do I have to you!"

Qian Cai said neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue has never been the leader of this trade. We are simply following Your Majesty's lead."

"One more thing... The Nanyang caravan only recognizes your Highness's face."

For many years, Qin Ming was the one who negotiated with various fleets in Southeast Asia.

Signing of transaction agreements and pricing of various supplies.

The reason why he needs to negotiate in person.

This is because when the Nanyang merchant caravans first entered Daqian, they encountered too many extortions.

This made them believe that the business environment in the Daqian Dynasty was too bad.

No one wants to come.

It was not until Qin Ming appeared that the merchant caravans of the Nanyang countries finally had a backbone.

When they followed Qin Ming to do business, they always exchanged money for goods, which was quick and efficient.

There was no injustice.

"joke!"

Emperor Qian suddenly slammed the table.

"I just don't believe it. Without Qin Ming, the countries in Southeast Asia will stop doing business with our Daqian?!"

After looking around, Emperor Qian put this task on the Ministry of Rites.

"Zhao Xi! Take the people from the Ministry of Rites and go negotiate with them!"

The Ministry of Rites also originally managed the dynasty's foreign trade.

I just don’t know when all overseas trade was placed in Qin Ming’s hands.

This is also one of the points of conflict between them and Qin Ming.

As a ceremonial official, Zhao Xi could do this both morally and logically.

Hearing this, Zhao Xi was delighted.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites were all very excited.

They have waited for this moment for too long.

Now shipping is finally back under their control!

It's so happy!

"Your Majesty, I obey your command!"

Zhao Xi walked forward quickly, knelt on the ground and kowtowed devoutly to receive the order.

Qian Cai and Chen Shimao looked at each other and curled their lips.

Chen Shimao knew the virtues of the Ministry of Rites.

When the Ministry of Rites was in charge of trade, he used bribes and extortion to the extreme!

Let them go, good things can turn into bad things.

I originally wanted to open my mouth to remind Emperor Qian.

But at this time, Qian Cai pulled him from behind and shook his head gently.

Chen Shimao sighed helplessly.

No more words.

Soon, the court's order reached Qin Ming's palace.

Qin Ming's guard commander Chang Baishan walked up to Qin Ming with the court documents in his hand, full of resentment.

"Your Highness, the court wants to remove your three guards!"

Chang Baishan naturally knew how important the Three Guards were to a vassal king.

Emperor Qian's move obviously wanted Qin Ming to go to Lingnan and start from scratch!

This difficulty is as difficult as climbing to the sky!

"Oh?"

Contrary to Chang Baishan's expectations, Qin Ming did not seem unhappy when he heard these words.

Instead, they applauded.

"It's better to remove it. It's a good opportunity to replace it with people from the Wuwei Camp."

"Your Highness, we are reducing the Three Guards, not exchanging them for the Wuwei Battalion! We have nothing left!"

Chang Baishan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

However, Qin Ming still sat in his seat and made tea.

After taking a sip of tea, he continued to close his eyes and sort out the memories of his previous life.

After these two days of sorting.

Qin Ming discovered that his predecessor had surprisingly no problems except for his soft temper.

He is first-class in both politics and work.

This also gave Qin Ming a preliminary understanding of the situation and operation of this empire.

Looking at Changbai Mountain spinning in front of him.

Qin Ming stood up, pressed him down on his seat and said earnestly:

"Why rush? Let the court enjoy itself for a while."

"In two days, they will come to find me."
