Chapter 489 Zong Sang! Shit! Baka! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

As long as the Hanlin Academy doesn't stop him, Lin Tailai's request for leave to visit his family won't be a big problem. He just needs to wait for it to be approved.

It was already the end of May and the hot summer was about to come, but Lin Tailai still resolutely decided to leave immediately after his leave was approved.

Because the big projects of this era were generally started after the autumn harvest, if he rushed back now, he would have about two months to plan and prepare in advance.

While waiting for his leave to be approved and before leaving, Lin Tailai, the editor of the Hanlin Academy and the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, still went to work normally, and even worked harder than usual.

In the morning of the Hanlin Academy, the new Shujishi usually had morning lessons and listened to training in the courtyard, while the old Hanlin drank tea and had lectures in the backyard Keting, and Lin Zhuangyuan practiced with a spear in the courtyard of the Zhuangyuan Hall.

After Lin Tailai arrived at the Hanlin Academy that day, he finished his morning exercise and came to the courtyard of the Hanlin Academy with a spear.

I saw about twenty Shujishi standing there waiting, and the teacher Tian Yijun had not come out of the public housing yet.

So Lin Tailai took the initiative to help Tian Yijun and Tian Yijun take on the task of giving a lecture.

"I have emphasized many times that newcomers should be down-to-earth, study more, and talk less about ambitions!

But there are still a few newcomers who don't listen to the teachings, like to talk big, and are keen to participate in the discussion. I won't name them today!

And the height of the official hat on his head is higher, and the gauze wings on both sides are shorter. After getting used to seeing the official hat of the Ming Dynasty, it feels a bit weird to see this imitation.

Another vassal state that enjoys this kind of unlimited opening time treatment is the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Lin Tailai: "."

Then Lin Tailai called Zhou Yingqiu over again, handed Zhou Yingqiu some poems, and ordered:

"When I am not in the Hanlin Academy, every time there is a festival and a change of seasons, you will post these poems for me. There are Mid-Autumn Festival, Double Ninth Festival, Winter Solstice, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, etc. on this side."

The clerk hurriedly explained: "Don't misunderstand, sir! These are tributes from the Kingdom of Korea, and they are sent to the Ministry of Hosts and Guests for inspection today. "

At noon, Lin Tailai had lunch in the dining room of the Hanlin Academy, took a nap in the Zhuangyuan Hall, and then moved to the Ministry of Rites to work.

I have previously ordered that gifts are not accepted in the government office, and you dare to let people in?"

In the side hall, Chen Yunjian and Shen Yan, two newly transferred to help, were drinking tea and chatting with three guests.

The Shujishi listened expressionlessly, obviously accustomed to it and numb.

What else can you do if you can't beat, can't talk, and don't listen?

Until he heard a cough from behind, Lin Tailai stepped down skillfully.

For this kind of thing, it is best to leave it to Zhou Yingqiu, because others may miss something.

But Yin Zhuoran said solemnly: "Although my country is small, it is also a country of sacred etiquette.

Lin Tailai knew that if nothing unexpected happened, these three people would be the main officials of the Korean delegation, namely the chief envoy, the deputy envoy and the secretary, collectively known as the three envoys.

Speaking of this meeting hall, it is divided into the South and North Halls. The South Hall is theoretically used to receive envoys from Korea, Japan, the Northern Tartars and Annan.

Lord Lin was very angry and asked the clerk on duty: "Who is so ignorant that he dares to give gifts to me so blatantly?

Kebu is the elegant and respectful name of the doctor of the Ministry of Guests, which belongs to a kind of official address culture in the Ming Dynasty. For example, the Ministry of Rites' Fine Food Department is called Food Department, the Ministry of War's Chariot Department is called Chariot Department, and the Ministry of Works' Tuntian Department is called Tunbu.

Although Lin Kebu is an official of the superior country, he is in charge of receiving today. It is really rude to let us envoys wait here for a long time. "

Back in the Zhuangyuan Hall, he checked Wu Daonan's help in copying the "Records of Successive Dynasties' Instructions", and earned another point in his performance.

Entering the courtyard where the Office of Guests was located, he found more than 20 mahogany and gold-lacquered boxes in the courtyard.

The Kingdom of Korea would send envoys to the court a few times a year, and the number of envoys was large, so the Huitong South Pavilion was almost exclusively used by the Korean delegation.

If you hit someone, it would really be "rude", and it would not look good for our Ming Dynasty, and it would violate the etiquette of treating vassal states well.

Lin Tailai pointed to the main hall of the courtyard of the Office of Guests, which belonged to the doctor, and said, "Envoy Yin Zheng, please go in and talk. "

It's just that Lord Lin went to the Hanlin Academy in the morning and didn't come until now.

And to be honest, the other party is right this time.

First, the delegation will send the tribute to the Ministry of Rites, which will check and register it, and then send it to the Palace Household Department, or Huangji Gate, or Wenhua Hall tomorrow.

The three guests are wearing what looks like official dress with patches, but they are different from the style of Ming official robes, all of which are blue and black.

The Korean country has sent delegations to pay homage too many times, and all procedures have been established and handled step by step.

As the saying goes: The East pays tribute every year, and the etiquette makes the country admire the holy dynasty.

Just then I remembered that another Korean delegation came to Beijing recently and has been arranged to stay in Huitong South Pavilion.

Lord Lin: "."

Yin Zhuoran continued: "So, I hope that the Lin Ke Department can apologize to our country. "

You better take care of yourself! When the embassy is closed in three years, those who don't listen to the teachings should not regret it!"

But in the current political situation, Japan has no envoys, and the envoys of the northern barbarians are prohibited from entering the border wall, and Annan is also very disrespectful.

He introduced the chief envoy of the Kingdom of Korea to Lin Tailai and said: "This is Yin Zhuoran, the angel of the Eastern Kingdom."

In the busy work, the morning passed unknowingly.

You, Lin Jiuyuan, were so late for so long that you left the envoy of a country alone from morning to afternoon. It was really rude.

After that, the two principals Chen Yunjian and Shen Jue first introduced to the North Korean envoy: "This is the chief guest of the Ming Dynasty Rites Department, whose surname is Lin Tailai. His name is Jin, no, Jiuyuan."

Chen Yunjian and Shen Jue, one on the left and the other on the right, quickly advised Lin Kebu: "Nine yuan can't be used!"

The pile of large mahogany and gold-lacquered boxes in the courtyard are the tributes waiting to be inspected. The time has been agreed on today.

Who will tell him that if he were a Ming Dynasty man, he would have been beaten by now!

The Ming Dynasty was also very tolerant of North Korea. Other vassal states' missions were only allowed to open and sell goods in Huitongguan for three or five days, while North Korea could do so without any time limit.

Mr. Lin: "."

I can’t remember clearly. The last time someone asked me to apologize was when was it?

Yin Zhuoran was neither humble nor arrogant, looking at Lin Tailai.

As an envoy, he represents the country, and being disrespectful to him is disrespectful to the country.

Although Korea is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, the vassal state also has the national character and etiquette of the vassal state.

Chen Yunjian and Shen Jue looked at Yin Zhengshi again and said reproachfully: "Why did you provoke him?"

Yin Zhengshi didn't know why, and he

Is there anything wrong with dutifully stating our diplomatic stance and insisting on safeguarding national dignity? Shouldn't it be appreciated?

"Jie Jie Jie" Mr. Lin suddenly laughed a few times, "Very good, very good. Then I will discuss etiquette with Ambassador Yin Zheng."

Chen Yunjian and Shen Jue covered their faces together, barely able to see.

Lin Jiuyuan, can you stop being the villain every time?

In order to show his demeanor, Yin Zheng raised his hands and bowed, and said politely: "I would like to hear Mr. Lin's opinions."

Lin Tailai asked: "The year before last, the Japanese Taiko Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent an envoy to your country. Why didn't King Xuanzong Shokyung of your country report it to the Ming Dynasty?"

"Xuanzong? King Zhaojing?" Yin Zhengshi was puzzled. Who are these?

"Oh, a slip of the tongue!" Lin Tailai forcefully explained: "This is the temple name and posthumous title I drafted for your king in advance, and I accidentally let it slip."

Xiba! Yin Zhengshi's chest was instantly filled with the fire of anger, and he was furious!

Too bad! I have never heard of such an insult to a foreign country!

Lin Tailai casually stretched out his hand and held down Yin Zhengshi who was trying to make a move, and said loudly: "Let's not mention those false reputations!

I heard that after Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent an envoy to your country the year before last, your country intended to resume exchanges with Japan. This year, you sent an envoy to Japan to pay a return visit? "

Master Lin's arm force forced Yin Zheng to calm down, and he even had time to think about it, how did Master Lin know this?

Especially the envoys sent to the Japanese country for a return visit. How come the news reached the Ming Dynasty just after they set off? Did someone in the country specifically inform Daming?

Yin Zhengshi thought about it and explained: "This is the state affairs of our country. There is no need to report everything carefully to the Ming Dynasty."

"Zong Sang! Xi Ba! Ba Ga!" Lin Tailai suddenly yelled and used his arms to knock Yin Zhengshi to the ground.

Then he reprimanded sternly: "First, Toyotomi Hideyoshi is a big thief who has violated the rules and regulations, which is not tolerated by etiquette! Your country actually wants to communicate with such a thief who violates etiquette and law!

Second, your country should know that the Japanese invaded the Ming Dynasty and wreaked havoc in the southeast several decades ago!

Under such circumstances, not only did your country fail to report to the Ming Dynasty, it actually dared to send envoys to visit Japan!

Is this the vassal gift of your country? Could it be that your country serves the Ming Dynasty so sincerely?

Since Yin Zheng has asked you to be polite, please tell me, is this rude? "

The last trace of anger in Yin Zhuoran's heart disappeared without a trace, and his face turned pale!

No wonder the two good-tempered principals would say, "Why did you provoke him?"

Faced with these cross-examinations, he could not answer!

Lin Kebu waved his sleeves and said, "I don't think I need any of these tributes."

Chen Yunjian and Shen Jue stopped Lin Tailai together and reminded him: "Nine yuan, be careful!"

"Absolute tribute" is a decision that the emperor can make on behalf of the Ming Dynasty. This is the emperor's power, and ministers must not overstep it!

Lin Tailai muttered a few words in his heart. This matter is not over yet, but he still needs to think about how to continue to use it.

Then he changed his mind and said, "Start checking the tributes!"

Anyway, we have found the place again, let’s finish our job first.

However, Mr. Lin was not interested in such trivial matters as counting tributes and registering them, and left them all to his subordinates.

He caught Yin Zhengshi again and asked, "Where is the expression?"

The so-called manifesto refers to the document that the Korean mission should submit to the Ming court.

A complete set will include several documents such as tables, notes, statements, memorials, etc., referred to as table documents.

The form is written to the emperor, and the note is written to the crown prince (of course there will be none this time). They are all ceremonial documents.

Instead, he wrote to the Ministry of Rites and other yamen to discuss specific matters.

Although a set of inscriptions is not completely equivalent to a letter of credence, it can also be understood as a letter of credence.

Yin Zhengshi became much more honest now and replied: "According to the ritual system of pilgrimage, when you visit the Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, you will submit the statement to the Minister of Rites."

Lin Tailai said impatiently: "Just give me the confession now!"

Yin Zhuoran suspected that Master Lin did not understand what he meant, and reminded him: "Tomorrow, the envoy will go to see the Minister of Rites."

Lin Tailai snorted coldly: "I won't stop you from going to see Yu Shangshu, I just want you to hand over the confession to me now.

If you are not around, ask the deputy envoy to go back to the meeting hall and get the form! "

Yin Zhengshi tried his best to distinguish and said: "This is inconsistent with etiquette."

Lin Tailai asked sadly: "Do you still want to talk to me about courtesy?"

Yin Zhengshi: "."

Then I will go to see the Minister of Rites tomorrow, and what will I get with empty hands?

Lin Tailai said disapprovingly: "When you meet Yu Shangshu, just tell him that you have given me all the confessions, and he will understand!"

Receiving the North Korean delegation is probably the last "important" task before I take leave and leave Beijing. I must do it well!

After checking the tributes, Yin Zheng left the Host and Guest Department of the Ministry of Rites in a daze.

Theoretically, the Minister of Rites should be the immediate superior of the doctor in the Host and Guest Department of the Ministry of Rites, right?

But why was the host and guest doctor so disapproving of the attitude of the Minister of Rites, and even blatantly intercepted the statement that should have been submitted to the Minister of Rites?

Suddenly Yin Zheng hid

I vaguely felt that I was caught in an internal fight among the officials of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhen Xi’s eighth birthday! He was just traveling at public expense and doing private trade to make money, so how could he get involved in the power struggle between the two countries?

In the morning of the next day, Yin Zhuoran, the angel of the Korean Dynasty, came to the Ministry of Rites again and went to see Yu Shenxing, the Minister of Rites.

After a few dry exchanges, Yu Shangshu looked at the empty-handed North Korean envoy with doubts. Where is your credentials?

Yin Zhengshi replied: "Yesterday when I went to the Host and Guest Office to submit the tribute, the memorial was forcibly taken away by the Host and Guest Office doctor."

Yu Shangshu told Yin Zhengshi without any expression: "Just step back!"

After Yin Zhengshi left the court, Yu Shangshu couldn't help but slap the case and said, "What does Lin Tailai want to do again?"

Yu Kongjian, the doctor of the Ceremony Department, the first department of the Ministry of Rites, accompanied Yu Shangshu to receive the envoy.

At this time, he replied succinctly: "Seize power."

According to the system, after the Minister of Rites accepted the set of documents from Korea on behalf of the court, he would transfer them to the Department of Ceremony.

Then the Department of Ceremony will study the content of the form and draft a "reply", which will be reported to the palace after being approved by the Minister of Rites.

Lin Tailai directly took away this link. It was obvious that he was not satisfied with the transactional and consultative work content and wanted to directly participate in foreign policy decision-making.

In fact, Yu Shangshu didn't understand this very much. Why is this power so valuable?

If it is a matter involving huge interests, it is understandable and understandable to compete for decision-making power.

This kind of decision-making on foreign affairs for the vassal state is purely cosmetic work. How much benefit can there be?

When it comes to the biggest benefits of foreign-related work, it may be the reception and opening of the market, but these are already under the direct control of the host and customer department.

Yu Kongjian, the director of the Ceremony Department, also couldn't figure it out and could only say: "Maybe Lin Tailai was born with a disease and has an infinite thirst for power and never misses any opportunity."

Yu Shangshu finally said: "It doesn't matter. No matter why Lin Jiuyuan took away the Korean national document, he will always go through me when he drafts the memorial for this!"
