The door in the banquet hall of Quezuomen is closed.

In this simple room, nine officials sat or stood, which was related to the direction of history. This was how the meeting between Japan and North Korea began.

On the seven official hats and chairs, the officials were each in deep thoughts and looked unstable.

Shen Shixing said: "Dong Sicheng, the doctor of the host and guest department, has just said it briefly..."

"Report to Yuanfu," Yang Junmin, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, spoke at this time, "Why did our Ministry of War not know about the matter of the Japanese pirates trying to attack Ming, but the Ministry of Rites knew first."

The left assistant minister Shi Xing also said: "Yes, there is no news at all. What's going on?"

Dong Sicheng immediately reported: "Reported to the two Simas, North Korea has received two letters from Japan that they want to use the country to challenge the Ming Dynasty. They came to report that Guanghai Jun was hesitant to face the saint before he could tell the truth. If Lin Zongbo had not repeatedly urged him repeatedly, they would probably not speak up until now."

Yang Junmin said: "But we have never heard of the news about the Fangshi Department of the Ministry of War. You said that Japan could have used the letter of national defense to attack the Ming Dynasty."

"There is no original, but there is the blood letter of Guanghaijun."

Yang Junmin and Shi Xing finished reading the blood letter of Guang Haijun, and then Yang Junmin said: "A blood letter is really hard to let us write it all. North Korea may have other plans."

Shen Shixing asked, "How do you say this in Sima Yang?"

Yang Junmin immediately said: "DPRK has been peeping at Liaodong for a long time. During the Yongle period, it sent troops to occupy Xianzhou, set up four counties in the northwest and six towns in the northeast, which were later called Hamkyung. This was the hometown of the Yuan Dynasty and was taken away by the court. Later, our court ordered the northern suburbs of Tieling and Wei to make the south of the Yalu River belong to Korea."

Lin Yanchao knew that these territories were the Hamkyung Dojo among the eight paths in Korea now. They belonged to the Central Plains dynasty during the Yuan Dynasty, but the Yongle dynasty, the most powerful in the Ming Dynasty, was ceded to Korea.

At that time, Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty said, "I am also in the land of Korea, so why should I fight for it?"

It means that North Korea is also my vassal, what is there to fight with you?

This sentence sounds generous, but there are some inappropriate points. At that time, the strength of the Ming army could not cover Liaodong, so using this sentence to make a statement sounds like "The masters have been poor since ancient times, and they have put aside their controversy."

The meaning of Yang Junmin's words is to question the matter of the letter of the country. He suggested that the matter of the letter of the country be put aside and wait and see what happened.

Shen Shixing looked at Shi Xing and said, "What are the great ideas about Shi Sima?"

Shi Xing seemed to be considering something.

Shen Shixing said: "Shi Situ is famous for his frankness and dares to advise the world. If you have any decisions, it is better to speak out."

Regarding Shi Xing Lin Yanchao's experience, when he was told to advise the emperor in the early years of Longqing, he was sceptered by the court. When his wife heard the news, she thought Shi Xing had died of the court stick and immediately touched the pillar to commit suicide.

After being launched in the early years of Wanli, he was convicted of being accused of speaking out while in office a few years later and was dismissed from office again.

Now Shi Xing has fallen and has been moved several times, and has made political achievements in every term, and has dared to act and done a lot of practical things.

Yang Junmin was talking to Ximeng, and Shen Shixing pointed the stone star and told him to find a way.

Shi Xing bowed and said, "North Korea does mean to be involved in Liaodong, but if this blood letter is true, then for the Japanese pirates, North Korea is the Haidong Pingfan of our Ming Dynasty, and it must not be lost. The Japanese pirates pretend to attack the Ming Dynasty, and their intention is to North Korea. Once North Korea loses, Liaodong and Shandong are all dangerous. If the Japanese pirates make a move, the capital will be shaken."

When Lin Yanchao saw this, he thought that it was really not as expected. Shi Xing still clearly expressed his views as in history.

No shyness or cover up.

Shen Shixing, Xu Guo and Wang Xijue looked at each other.

"So, in Shi Sima's opinion, what should the court do?"

Shi Xing immediately said: "First strengthen the garrisons of several ports in Liaodong, Tianjin, Shandong and Ningbo, and send more detailed investigations on Japan. North Korea requests in detail. If there is any news, it is best to increase troops in Liaodong."

After hearing this, the officials were a little cold to Shi Xing’s opinions.

Everyone knows the situation in the Ming Dynasty, and there is no such thing as military affairs that is not about spending money.

This is not really a fight.

But where is the money in the imperial court now? The treasury is almost empty.

"What are the great ideas of Yu Zongbo?" Shen Shixing asked.

Yu Shenxing looked at Shi Xing, then Lin Yanchao, and immediately said: "Yuan Fu's incident happened suddenly. Can you let the officials think about it for a while?"

Lin Yanchao was a little grateful to Shenxing, obviously he listened to his words.

The two ministers of the Ministry of War had different opinions, but their own Ministry of Rites did not.

Several cabinet masters nodded, and Xu Guo smiled and said, "Yu Zongbo thought twice before he could act. This is a model for ministers!"

Yu Shenxing said a few words of humility, then looked at Lin Yanchao and said, "I'll leave it to you below."

"Where is Lin Zongbo? Let's say a few words!" Wang Xijue said.

Lin Yanchao said immediately: "Reported to Mr. Wang, he was under the official Ministry of Rites. He has not been able to take up his new position for a long time. It is not enough to make a high-profile argument for all the officials here, but it happened to be heard by Japan and North Korea, so he sat on the last seat and listened attentively."

Wang Xijue said lightly: "Where is it? Shen Shangshu is sick now. This matter is related to your position, not to mention that the matter of Guanghai Jun was handled by Lin Zongbo before, and then submitted it to the cabinet for discussion."

Wang Xijue's words are to put Lin Yanchao in the blame, don't shirk.

Lin Yanchao looked up at Wang Xijue, and then said, "Since this is the case, the subordinates dared to speak out. The subordinates believed that the country's rule of the four barbarians had their own right form. The method of expedition lies in the Ministry of War, the exchanges between the Gentiles, and the Ministry of Rites. Each has its own positions and cannot be disordered."

After hearing Lin Yanchao's short sentences, everyone looked at him with admiration. These sentences are amazing.

Yu Shenxing also nodded.

"Like Hami in the west, Jiaozhi in the south, Shunyi in the north, they are all under the charge of the Shufu, and they are followed by the ministers and have been established as a master. However, the leader of the Japanese king, Hieyoshi, had a humble background and secretly occupied a high position. If he wanted to seek enlightenment, what would he mean? Do you know?"

"Water has been scattered for hundreds of years, and now a hero has unified Japan. How many soldiers are there, and how many ships are there? Do we know these?"

Everyone shook their heads and admired them in their hearts. Lin Yanchao's words could be said to be revealed in one sentence.

It turned out that the Ming Dynasty had been dealing with vassals for two hundred years, fighting, winning and losing. It was not uncommon to occupy territory or be robbed. After hundreds of years of neighbors, everyone knew what kind of temper they had and how many trump cards they had in their hands.

But for Japan, who is the country? Who is Guan Bai? No one knows it. It’s like a stranger who comes to your house, and you rush up to meet him without asking?

Wang Xijue said: "The ban on Japanese bans in our country is very strict. Although there were some exchanges before, the two countries had no contact after the Ningbo Rebellion. There were only occasional news, only through ship dealers to learn about it."

Lin Yanchao said: "That's true, the way to defend the war lies in the support. If the Japanese really invade the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers will come to block the generals and the water will come to cover the soil, so that they will leave and never return. But the saints never stop teaching and punish them. However, the country of the Ming Dynasty's etiquette will be the first to foreign etiquette. If the etiquette is not carried out, the soldiers will be."

"As the Yaqing of the Ministry of Rites, the Xiaguan thought that this matter should be a matter within the Ministry of Rites, so he did not dare to avoid slander and refute, and thought it was a matter of shirking responsibility."

This is the first time Lin Yanchao participated in the court discussion as a minister, and it is also the first time he made his mark during the court discussion.

Shen Shixing lay down on the back of the chair and asked, "What do you think Lin Zongbo's words?"

Yu Shenxing said: "What Lin Zongbo said is the most important thing. The Four Barbarians’ rituals are in the Ministry of Rites, which is the responsibility!"

Shi Xing also said, "Lin Zongbo's words are truly insightful and the way of fighting is in the Ministry of War. For other matters, they can be handed over to the Ministry of Rites."

Shi Xing glanced at Lin Yanchao. He thought that Lin Yanchao had just been in charge and was young and had no experience in directors. But as soon as he came, he taught a lesson to several of their old ministries, and these words were extremely exciting.

Yang Junmin also said: "Lin Zongbo was the first to serve as a ministry hall and dared to serve. I admire him very much, but my Ming Dynasty was the upper country of the Celestial Empire. Taking the initiative to hand over to Japan would be hindered from the national system."

Wang Xijue smiled and said, "This cabinet department thinks that this is a small obstacle, so it's okay."

Xu Guodao: "This cabinet also thinks that Lin Zongbo's words are feasible, and it is really a fearful young man."

Even Shen Yongmao and Dong Sicheng agreed.

Shen Shixing looked around and smiled and said, "Since no one has any objections, then I will report to Your Majesty the words of Elin Zongbo first."

Everyone said in unison: "Yes, Yuan Fu."

Everyone left the banquet hall. This time the discussion was surprisingly fast, and a cup of tea was a little more effort.

The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites walked together, and everyone looked relaxed.

Yang Junmin smiled and said, "It's still early to go back to the yamen. Shi Sima might as well go with me to have tea."

Shi Xing shook his head and said, "I still have a few things I have not finished. If I don't do it, I will be unsatisfied."

Yang Junmin smiled and said, "Hey, Shi Sima is still the case, which makes me lonely alone. It seems that with Lin Zongbo in the hall in the future, many things can be solved without a long time. It will be in vain."

Shi Xing laughed when he heard this. Shen Yongmao listened to the conversation between the two ministers, and admired Lin Yanchao so much that he was overwhelmed.

Shen Shixing, Xu Guo, Wang Xijue and others returned to the pavilion side by side.

The three old masters were chatting and laughing.

Xu Guo smiled and said, "Yuan Fu, you are a good disciple. Lin Zongbo is really a talent for helping the world."

Shen Shixing said: "Don't speak too early, don't criticize the young people."

Xu Guo smiled and said, "What Yuan Fu said is very true, but even if I don't praise me, I'm afraid others will praise me. What do you think Brother Yuan Yu?"

Wang Xijue nodded and said, "It's indeed a pillar of the country."

Xu Guo smiled and said, "Yuan Fu, Brother Yuan Yu is never false."

After hearing Xu Guo's words, Shen Shixing was a little proud, so he smiled.

Half a day later, in the Qianqing Palace.

The emperor sat on a chair holding his stomach and watching the memorial.

Halfway through the observation, the emperor closed the memorial and nodded. After thinking a little, he started reading the memorial again.

After reading all of them, the emperor stood up with the dragon chaise and said, "What a good offensive and defensive strategy is in the Ministry of War, and the seal is in the Ministry of Rites. Lin Yanchao is really able to do things. Even so, why don't I cherish a book of books?"

Speaking of this, the emperor said to Chen Ju, who was beside him: "Let the cabinet draw an order and call the Japanese leader Hirahiko to come to Beijing to receive the title of title. If he doesn't follow..."

Chen Ju whispered: "Your Majesty, Taizu's priesthood, this country is a country that is not conquered."

When the emperor heard this, he said, "I know, as the memorial said, the matter of being granted full power to the Ministry of Rites."
