Wang Shiqi snorted: "I don't care about these fame and fortune!"
Lin Tailai was very patient today and continued to explain: "But as the eldest son, you should also think about your father!
Regarding your father's condition, you must know better than me. In fact, it's time to make a conclusion.
In recent years, there has been great controversy in the literary world about your father. It was already the case during his lifetime, and it will probably become even more controversial after his death.
Therefore, only the truly strong can settle or suppress these disputes and give your father a correct historical conclusion."
Wang Shiqi said angrily: "In recent years, most of the controversies about my father and the retro school were not started by you, Lin Tailai!"
Lin Tailai responded: "So only I, Lin Tailai, can put an end to the controversy, and only my conclusion, Lin Tailai, will be considered objective, fair and authoritative!"
Only I, Lin Tailai, can control the scene at the next martial arts, no, literary conference!
Who do you think is stronger than me among your current loyalists? Feng Er of Songjiang Prefecture? Zou Diguang of Wuxi? Li Weizhen who is far away in Shaanxi?"
Lin Tailai's words were so impactful that Wang Shiqi was speechless for a moment.
On the other hand, it can be understood that your father's die-hard loyalists are all weaklings. If I, Lin Tailai, take action, your father's die-hard loyalists will not be able to protect your father's posthumous reputation.
Shen Yongmao, who was listening in the audience, remembered a famous saying in the history books: The leader of the literary world would rather have the talent, and the one with strong soldiers and horses will do it!
Lin Tailai approached Wang Shiqi again and whispered: "Do you want to know the real inside story of why you were not selected as a Shujishi?"
Like a demon whispering from the abyss, Wang Shiqi gave in and agreed to write a letter to his father and let Lin Tailai take it back.
Lin Tailai got what he wanted. If there was no butterfly effect, leader Wang would have passed away next year.
There is really not much time left to extract surplus value, so I should go back to Jiangnan just for this.
People and affairs are metabolized, and exchanges become ancient and modern. This is called inheritance.
As a qualified bureaucrat, even if you have to take leave, you should finish all the work at hand.
Therefore, Lin Tailai, editor and chief guest officer of the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty, had to make arrangements for the Korean envoys before he could leave Beijing and go south.
Now that the previous affairs have been completed and it is time for the envoys to meet the emperor, the old revolution has encountered new problems.
If the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not want to go out of his way to receive the vassal envoys, he would choose a court date and receive the envoys incidentally.
But the problem is, now that Emperor Wanli has not come to court at all, how can the envoys complete the ceremony of meeting the emperor?
After much discussion, Master Lin could only choose an auspicious day to bring the envoy, deputy envoy and petitioner of the North Korean mission to the Huangji Gate.
Then ask the envoy to face the Huangji Gate to the north and pay an audience.
At the same time, the Minister of Rites, Yu Shangshu, paid tribute beside him and delivered the "Certificate of Credence" to the Korean envoy.
Then a eunuch came out from the east corner gate to deliver the order: "Enjoy wine and food."
The emperor was too lazy to leave the palace, so the audience ceremony had to be modified like this.
Immediately afterwards, Master Lin led the North Korean delegation to Guanglu Temple outside Donghua Gate, where they ate imperial banquet noodles.
It was the time when new melons were ripe this year, so the generous Lin Zhugu asked the officials of Guanglu Temple to bring in more watermelons.
The watermelons of this era were not scientifically cultivated, the varieties were not very good, and they were not very sweet.
Lin Tailai didn't like to eat, but the North Korean envoy ate it happily. Yin Zhengzhi ate two of them each.
The end of the banquet means that the national ceremony is basically completed.
As for the rest of the time, most of the mission was open for business at the Huitong Pavilion, which only required one principal to keep an eye on it.
When the envoy was sent back to the Huitong Hall from Guanglu Temple, Lin Tailai warned envoy Yin Zheng: "Although I, the Ming Dynasty, are magnanimous, I do not want to blame the vassal in the credential for trivial matters.
But after you return to your country, you should report to the king that your country, Korea, has concealed its affair with the Japanese, which makes us Ming officials privately very dissatisfied!"
Envoy Yin Zheng replied: "I will definitely report it. If our king wants to explain it, he will send an envoy to the Ming Dynasty to explain it."
Lin Tailai: ""
Why do you still come here just because of this?
After handling the affairs of receiving the North Korean mission, Lin Tailai had no work at hand.
Seeing that his luggage was almost packed, Lin Tailai informed his relatives and friends in Beijing that he was preparing to go south.
