Chapter 489 Zong Sang! Xiba! Baga! (Please vote for me!)
As long as the Hanlin Academy doesn't stop him, Lin Tailai's request for leave to visit relatives won't be a big problem. He's just waiting to be approved.
It was already approaching the end of May, and the heat was about to enter, but Lin Tailai still decided to leave as soon as his leave was approved.
Because major projects in this era usually start after the autumn harvest, if we rush back now, we still have about two months to plan and prepare in advance.
While waiting for his leave to be approved and before leaving, Lin Tailai, editor of the Hanlin Academy and chief guest officer of the Department of Etiquette, still went to work as normal, even more seriously than usual.
In the morning of the Hanlin Academy, the newcomers Shu Jishi usually have morning classes and listen to the training in the atrium, while the old Hanlin has tea and lectures in Keting in the backyard, and the champion Lin practices the gun in the courtyard of the champion hall in the morning.
After Lin Tailai arrived at the Hanlin Academy that day, he finished his morning exercises and came to the atrium of the Hanlin Academy with a big gun.
I saw about twenty sages standing waiting, but the tutor, Toshida Toshida, had not yet come out of the public room.
So Lin Tailai took the initiative to go up and help Bachelor Tian Yijuntian take on the task of giving lectures.
“I have emphasized many times that newcomers should be down-to-earth, hone their knowledge more and talk less about their ambitions!
However, there are still a very few newcomers who do not listen to the teachings, so that they can talk eloquently and are keen to participate in the Qing Dynasty discussion. Today I will not name them specifically!
Moreover, the height of the official hat on the head is higher, and the gauze wings on both sides are shorter. I am used to seeing Ming Dynasty official hats, but looking at this imitation version feels a bit weird.
Another vassal state that enjoys this unlimited market opening is the Ryukyu Kingdom.
Lin Tailai: "."
Then Lin Tailai called Zhou Yingqiu over again, handed Zhou Yingqiu some poem manuscripts, and said:
"When I am not in the Hanlin Academy, every time there is a new year or festival, you will publish these poems for me to meet the occasion. There are contents on Mid-Autumn Festival, Double Ninth Festival, Winter Solstice, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, etc."
The clerk quickly explained: "My lord, please don't misunderstand! These are the tribute items from Korea. They were sent to the host and guest department for inspection today."
At noon, Lin Tailai had dinner in the dining room of the Hanlin Academy, took a nap in the Zhuangyuan Hall, and then moved to the host and guest office of the Ministry of Etiquette.
I have previously ordered you not to accept gifts in the Yamen, how dare you let people in?"
In the side hall, two newly transferred chiefs, Chen Yunjian and Shen Jue, were drinking tea and chatting with three guests.
The common people listened expressionlessly, obviously they were so used to it that they became numb.
If you can't fight, you can't speak, what else can you do if you don't listen?
It wasn't until he heard a cough from behind that Lin Tailai walked down the steps skillfully.
Regarding this kind of matter, it is best to leave it to Zhou Yingqiu, as others may make mistakes.
But Yin Zhuoran said seriously: "Although our country is small, it is also a country that accepts sanctified etiquette.
Lin Tailai knew that if nothing unexpected happened, these three people would be the main officials of the North Korean mission. They were the chief envoy, deputy envoy and petitioner, collectively known as the three envoys.
Speaking of the Huitong Pavilion, it is divided into the North Pavilion and the South Pavilion. The South Pavilion is theoretically used to receive envoys from North Korea, Japan, Northern Lu, and Annan.
Mr. Lin became very angry and asked the clerk on duty: "Who is so ignorant and dares to give gifts to me so blatantly?
Kebu is the elegant and honorific title for the doctor who is the host and guest. It belongs to the title culture of the Ming Dynasty officialdom. For example, the Fine Food Department of the Ministry of Rites is called the Shanbu, the Chariot and Driving Department of the Ministry of War is called the Jiabu, and the Tuntian Department of the Ministry of Industry is called the Tunbu.
Although Lin Kebu is an official of the state, he is in charge of the reception today and it is really rude to keep us and the envoys waiting here for a long time."
Returning to the No. 1 Scholar Hall, he checked Wu Daonan's help in copying "Lei Chao Xun Lu" and gained another point in his performance.
Entering the courtyard where the host and guests were staying, I found that there were more than 20 mahogany and gold-lacquered boxes placed in the courtyard.
In other words, North Korea sends several pilgrims every year, and there are so many of them, so the Joint South Pavilion is almost exclusively used by the North Korean mission.
If you hit someone, it would be truly "rude". We, Ming Dynasty, would not look good on us, and it would be a violation of our kindness ()
Etiquette of the vassal state.
Lin Tailai pointed to the main hall of the courtyard where the host and guests belonged to the doctor, "Envoy Yin Zheng went in to talk."
It's just that Mr. Lin went to the Hanlin Academy in the morning and didn't come here until now.
And to tell the truth, the other party was right this time.
The first step is for the mission to deliver the tribute items to the Host and Guest Department of the Ministry of Etiquette. The Host and Guest Department will check and register them, and then deliver them to the Imperial Palace, Huangji Gate, or outside the Wenhua Palace tomorrow.
These three guests looked like official robes with patches, but they were different from the official robes of the Ming Dynasty. They were all blue and black.
North Korea has sent missions to perform Hajj too many times, and all procedures have been established and handled step by step.
As the saying goes: The Eastern Kingdom pays tribute every year, and the rituals make the country worship the holy pilgrimage.
Only then did I remember that a North Korean delegation had recently come to Beijing, and they had arranged to stay at the Huitong South Pavilion.
Mr. Lin: "."
Yin Zhuoran continued: "So, I hope Lin Kebu can apologize to our country."
You should take care of yourself! When the school is dismissed in three years, those who do not listen to the teachings should not regret it!"
However, given the current political situation, the Japanese country has no envoys, the Northern Lu envoys are prohibited from entering the border wall, and Annan is also very disrespectful.
He also introduced the Korean envoy to Lin Tailai and said, "This is Yin Zhuoran, the angel of the Eastern Kingdom."
In the busy work, the whole morning passed without realizing it.
You, Lin Jiuyuan, have been late for so long. It is indeed very rude to leave a country's envoys from morning to afternoon.
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, whose 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. The missions of other vassal states 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 the last time someone asked me to apologize. In what year and month was it?
Yin Zhuoran was neither humble nor arrogant, and looked 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, a vassal state also has the national character and etiquette of a 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 expressing a diplomatic stance and insisting on safeguarding the dignity of the country? 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 playing the villain role 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 Taikou 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 in advance for your king, and I accidentally let it slip."
Xiba! Yin Zhengshi's chest was instantly filled with the fire of anger, and he was furious!
That’s so bad! I’ve never heard of such insulting behavior 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 for now!
I heard that after Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent an envoy to your country the year before last, your country was interested in resuming contacts with the Japanese country, and this year it sent an envoy to the Japanese country to pay a return visit?"
()
Master Lin's arm strength forced Yin Zheng to calm down, and he even had time to think about it, how did Master Lin know this?
Especially when envoys were sent to pay a return visit to Japan, how could the news reach the Ming Dynasty just after they set off? Is there someone in the country who specifically informed the Ming Dynasty?
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 of all, Toyotomi Hideyoshi is a big thief who has overstepped his bounds and is not tolerated by etiquette! Your country actually wants to communicate with such a thieves who violate etiquette and law!"
