One thousand two hundred seventy-five chapters sea trade
After Si hour, the weather became hotter and hotter.
The scorching sun burned Wenyuan Pavilion. Although the officials poured water on all sides in the morning, it was no longer helpful now.
As the sun was together, the censors who were sitting in the corridor to listen to the government affairs were already covered with sweat beads on their foreheads, noses, chins, and several rich censors had already had a large area of wet backs.
But Lin Yanchao, who was sitting in the cabinet, not only did not feel the heat, but there was a hint of coolness behind him. Without guessing, Lin Yanchao knew that ice had been placed in the cabinet.
Therefore, the nine great ministers and ministers in the cabinet sat leisurely, while the censors below looked dry and dry. Because it was a public opinion, there was no reason to look at tea, so they could only endure it.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but think, who had come up with the trick of the censors?
Lin Yanchao immediately thought of Zhang Wei and couldn't help but feel funny in his heart. These censors should have long wished that the public discussion would end early, so that they would no longer make things difficult for the officials here.
This plan is really brilliant!
Although most of the speeches of the censors were whimsical and unrealistic, when one censor talked about the recovery of the six northeastern towns in exchange for the conditions for the Ming Dynasty to send troops, Lin Yanchao felt that this was a good proposal.
However, if Shi Xing had agreed to let the North Korean king cross the river before, this proposal would be possible. Now it is difficult to achieve.
As the Minister of War, Shi Xing was already a little impatient, because most of the censors' attacks today were directed at him, and people were questioned in this way. Even if the ice cubes cooled down, they could not suppress the anger in his heart.
Shi Xing said: "This discussion is really a joke to be a major national event."
After hearing Shi Xing's words, Lin Yanchao glanced at Zhang Wei's expression and saw that Zhang Wei's face really darkened.
Lin Yanchao laughed secretly, and Shi Xing offended Zhang Wei without realizing it.
Shi Xing said: "In the land north of Xianzhou, Chengzu had a long history, so how could he go against his word? Let's talk about saving the country and protecting the vassal states is the basis of great justice. Taking advantage of the difficulties of other countries, our country threatens it. In the future, we will spread all over the country, and we will be deserving of the bad reputation of taking advantage of the situation to rob."
After Shi Xing finished speaking, Lin Yanchao saw that Zhang Wei's face looked even more ugly.
Lin Yanchao smiled secretly, regretting Zhang Wei's fault. It was difficult for the cabinet to meet the Secretary of State who was so strong that Shi Xing was so strong.
But why did he be unhappy? The disagreement between Shi Xing and Zhang Wei was what Lin Yanchao agreed to see.
After this person was repelled, another censor spoke out: "According to the secret report of the King of Ryukyu, Japanese pirates launched troops to attack the Ming Dynasty in August. Once they entered Nanjing, Zhejiang, and Fujian, if the army advances eastward and hangs in Korea, what should we do if the coast is empty? Nanjing, Zhejiang, and Fujian are all extremely important places, so we must not lose it!"
"There is still no conclusion on whether North Korea surrendered. In the seventh year of Yongle, Qiu Fu believed the words of the Tartars. A hundred thousand elite troops went deep into the ground alone, and finally the entire army was full of ideas. This is a lesson from the past!"
Another slogan said: "Yes, after the general general of Liaodong garrison Zu Chengxun was defeated, he reported that a Korean soldier had surrendered to the Japanese army, so our army was killed. This is a must-do."
Lin Yanchao understood that after Zu Chengxun was defeated, in order to conceal his defeat, he deliberately reported that North Korea had colluded with Japanese pirates. Then the officials in the North who had already opposed the North Korean troops sent troops to North Korea again requested a temporary suspension of the advance.
Shi Xing was not anxious and immediately said: "I knew that you still had doubts about this, so today the court agreed to invite the North Korean envoy Zheng Kunshou from the Huitong Hall!"
Lin Yanchao's expression frightened when he heard this. The Huitong Hall was under the joint jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites and War. Shi Xing summoned Zheng Kunshou from the Huitong Hall to attend the meeting but did not inform him in advance. Well, although the emperor had ordered Shixing to fully manage the affairs of North Korea, this still made Lin Yanchao dissatisfied.
But when Zheng Kunshou came to Wenyuan Pavilion, the officials of the Ministry of Science and Technology looked at the other party with suspicious eyes.
But when Zheng Kunshou saw Zheng, he said, "Although North Korea is a primary school country, he has gone to the Celestial Empire and knows that the Ming Dynasty is my parents' country. He will never dare to make any deceptions, nor will he dare to have any evil intentions. Today, I will give all the letters of my country and Japan to you at the order of the lord to give you a look at the doubts in your heart."
Zheng Kunshou immediately handed over all the letters of the Korean king and the Japanese kingdom for the officials to pass and watch.
Asahi Japanese documents are written in Chinese, so everyone understands it after reading it.
Lin Yanchao received a document from his hand, but he saw that it said, "There is a huge difference between Japan and the Ming Dynasty. However, our country is rich and the people are rich, and the people who raise troops are not greedy for revenge. However, when he enters the Ming Dynasty, he must pass through your country, so he has to make a living. But your country repairs and blocks me from moving forward. I have to use war. From Busan to Pyongyang, everything is destroyed. Now I heard that the king wants to camp in the Yalu River, and I am walking and meeting each other near me.
Lin Yanchao looked at the signature "Shu Shuli of the First Army of the Conquest Dynasty". The time should be after the fall of Pyongyang, the other party made a big statement.
Lin Yanchao handed the letter to Yang Junmin, the Minister of Revenue, who was standing beside him, and Yang Junmin was furious after seeing it, saying, "You little country dares to be so rampant."
Lin Yanchao said: "Don't be underestimated. The previous defeat of the Liaodong general Zu Chengxun is enough to be wary of one or two."
"The small country is rampant, and we should destroy this court food!" As soon as Lin Yanchao finished speaking, Sun Piyang, the minister of Dali Temple, shouted angrily.
After Zheng Kunshou took out the letter, the scene immediately reversed. Shi Xing said slowly: "After Zu Chengxun's defeat, our department had sent Huang Yingyang, the commander of the Jinyiwei, to North Korea to investigate. This letter was Huang Yingyang's reply. The king and minister of North Korea rushed to the fortress and would rather die with the country and live up to the emperor's grace, and he must send troops to rescue him!"
After hearing what Shi Xing said, the officials still have any doubts at the moment.
After this incident, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but look up to Shi Xing. From previous doubts to asking Zheng Kunshou to come out to defend himself, he finally took out the evidence of the Jinyiwei commander's letter, which completely dispelled the doubts of the officials and left Shi Xing with the impression that he was doing things properly.
No one questioned now, and the court agreed that the censors of the sects unanimously made a decision that they should send troops to North Korea.
The meeting ended immediately and the censors retreated.
Only Shi Xing and Lin Yanchao stayed in the pavilion. Shi Xing left something to say to Zhang Wei, while Lin Yanchao stood aside and didn't know what was going on.
Shi Xing glanced at Lin Yanchao and said, "There are a few official matters in our department that we have to report to the cabinet master."
Shi Xing’s implication is that you, Lin Yanchao, should do whatever you should do.
Lin Yanchao was furious. Although the emperor asked you to run North Korea, as the Minister of Rites, I also have the power to teach you. What do you mean by doing this?
Zhang Wei smiled and said, "Since it is a business, it's okay for the Lord of the Zong to listen."
Shi Xing had to discuss matters about Ningxia and North Korea with Zhang Wei. Shi Xing knew that he would answer ten times and made a decision.
Lin Yanchao couldn't help but praise him. If Shi Xing was not so stupid, he would have the style of a famous official.
After Shi Xing reported the news, he immediately looked at Lin Yanchao. Lin Yanchao coughed lightly and said, "I have a few private words to discuss with the cabinet master."
Shi Xing immediately turned his face when he heard this. He immediately stood up and snorted, and left with his sleeves.
Seeing Shi Xing go away, Lin Yanchao and Zhang Wei couldn't help but look at each other and laugh.
"Zonghai, Zonghai, you still have the same temper!"
Lin Yanchao and Zhang Wei worked together in the Hanlin Academy for a while, and they knew each other's temper.
Lin Yanchao said: "The Master of the Pavilion has not known that since I became a disciple of Zong Bo, I have repeatedly made things difficult for me in court. Sometimes I am really embarrassed and even can't get out of the stage for a while."
Lin Yanchao's words also meant to test Zhang Wei's attitude towards Shi Xing. See if the matter just now will make Zhang Wei feel a grudge against Shi Xing.
However, Zhang Wei smiled when he heard this, and then said, "Hey, Zong Hai, isn't this servant going to talk about you? Shi Sima, he is that kind of person, and every dispute is right or wrong. As a Li Qing, Zong Hai has no measure of this."
Although Zhang Yi is a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, he is only a third-rank rank, which is only of the same status as Lin Yanchao. However, he said this with a leader's tone.
But this is not rude. After all, when I worked in the Hanlin Academy, the other party was a bachelor's degree in the school, and Lin Yanchao was also under him.
Lin Yanchao said: "Zong Hai did something wrong when the Master saw the teachings. So he tried to tolerate Shi Sima in the future."
Zhang Wei nodded and praised, "That's good. In my eyes, you two are one general and one prime minister. The harmony between the general and the minister is a blessing for the court."
Lin Yanchao said: "Shi Sima has been too good. I have thought about the matter of setting up acropolis near the capital and garrisoning troops and grain. I have thought about it carefully. I deeply feel that this is the old man's successful national strategy. If it can be implemented, it will undoubtedly avoid future hidden dangers!"
Zhang Wei nodded after hearing this and said, "This dynasty is the emperor who guards the national gates, so he does not revive the capital's military preparations. This is a future trouble. It is just that the national treasury is short of national treasury, so the matter of building a city can only be done in the future. Zong Hai, you just said something private to me, I wonder what's going on?"
Lin Yanchao said: "Actually it is not a private word, it is also a public service. I have long opposed Shi Sima's aid to the Korean affairs. It is not that he does not support him, but that he is just showing goodwill to others. When Han came to Qin to invite troops, Empress Dowager Xuan of Qin was a woman, but she knew that it was not beneficial to the country and could not send troops."
"If my family is in a room and my neighbors are in trouble, I should help him with righteousness. But how can I use the word "righteousness" to explain the major affairs of the country? It makes sense that the ministers oppose sending troops. After all, the treasury is empty now, and I don't know how much money and food will be used to destroy the country if the war continues. What to do with the national economy in the future is really worrying!"
Zhang Wei nodded and said, "This is also a difficult point for me! I heard that Zong Hai had proposed to use sea and river caving together, and then use sea transportation to make money. Has the dynasty thought of this long ago?"
Lin Yanchao said: "As for this concern, I proposed that the sea canal is the first and the sea transport is the second, and in the end it is for the sea trade. If I can trade with North Korea at sea, I can save money for saving money. If the strategy of tribute to Japan is feasible, then the rich gold and silver of Japan can be continuously lost and used to help the country!"
Zhang Wei showed a deep thoughtful look when he heard this.
Lin Yanchao understood that his suggestions were exactly the same as what Zhang Wei and Shen Yiguan had proposed in history.
But he was not like himself, and he made an early arrangement.
