Chen Ju could hear some implicit sounds when he figured out the emperor's meaning.

Why should we value Sun Chengzong? On the surface, we are valuing talents, but in fact we are biased among the three retributions.

The emperor is most worried about at the moment. The drought that was spread throughout most of the Ming Dynasty. The memorials of the court ministers and local officials have piled up like mountains of memorials, and they don’t know much about their own private discussions.

Because any large-scale national disaster has been a sign of the destruction of the dynasty, and even directly caused a dynasty to collapse.

The fall of the Yuan Dynasty began with the flooding of the Yellow River. Of course, the Ming Dynasty in another time and space also died decades later by a severe drought that spread from Shaanxi to the whole country.

The three retributions are different.

The Emperor Ming Times mentioned a few words, but several officials called on the emperor not to continue to stop courting, and at the same time they enthrone the crown prince as soon as possible to calm the hearts of the people. At the same time, they cursed Shen Shixing for his belief that he had formed a clique for personal gain and did not do his best to persuade the emperor.

However, the retribution of heaven is different. They can be said to be very dedicated to this famine. Therefore, they have mentioned many filial piety and righteous deeds.

He even listed an official who managed the warehouse grain in Shuntian Prefecture, who would rather starve to death than embezzle a tiny grain in the warehouse. Such an official can be called a clean official and honest official. For this matter, he praised it very much, and the local government even erected a monument for him.

The rest is to praise gentlemen who are poor and belittle villains who are poor and abuse them. Let the people wait for the court to deal with them with peace of mind and not rebel.

The emperor was very pleased when he saw it, but later he asked the people from the East Factory to secretly investigate the truth and found out that the official did not starve to death, but died of other diseases. However, he was modified by the official in charge of the grain and reported it to the newspaper.

However, Xinmin Daily seems to have no effect on education, but it has unconsciously popularized how to prepare for the shortage in several consecutive publications. It is said that Xinmin Daily is truly useful in the world.

Thinking of this, Chen Ju saw the three red characters in Xinminbao printed in his eyes.

"Book of Books: Kang Gao": "It is also a matter of helping the king's house and a new citizen.

How to make the people renew and how to teach the people to be good, Chen Ju got a glimpse of the clues from Lin Yanchao's newspapers, colleges, and theories of the theory.

At this moment, Chen Ju asked in his heart, Lin Sanyuan, what exactly do you want?

At this moment, Zhang Cheng took the memorial from the Fujian Governor to the cabinet to pass the imperial edict.

Now the Sanjiao Wang Xijue in the cabinet is ill and has been in a closed door for half a month.

Therefore, the cabinet is still in the situation where the three cabinets are the masters, including the first assistant Shen Shixing, the second assistant Xu Guo, and the original fourth assistant Wang Jiaping.

After the Wang Jiaping's conservancy period expired, he returned to the court and was promoted from the title of Left Minister of Personnel to the title of Minister of Rites.

From the time he was promoted to the Minister of Rites in December of the 12th year of Wanli to the Grand Secretary of the Dongge in March of the 17th year of Wanli (historically, it was December of the 16th year of Wanli), Wang Jiaping took more than four years to get rid of the situation of doing odd jobs and had the right to speak in the cabinet.

Now in the Shen Shixing room of the cabinet, Shen Shixing was wearing glasses to read the memorial. Xu Guo cut his hands and was walking while frowning. As for Wang Jiaping drinking tea, there was a small jar beside him with the pickled cucumber from Liubiju.

When Wang Jiaping works on weekdays, he often likes to chew with snacks, which is also his habit for many years. Officials who have worked with him for many years in the cabinet and the Hanlin Academy have also become accustomed to it.

After a while, Shen Shixing put down the official document and said, "Fujian Governor Zhao Shenlu reported that the Japanese country wanted to join forces with North Korea to launch troops to invade. The emperor asked us to come up with a strategy immediately. Now Zhang Cheng is waiting outside the office. What do you think about this matter?"

Xu Guo stopped and walked: "This matter is strange. Bo Zhong, does this Ministry of War mention Japan?"

Wang Jiaping shook his head and said, "The Ministry of War's consultation did not mention it at all, but it was said that the Qinghai Huoluo Chi tribe has had some abnormal movements recently."

Xu Guodao: "The Huoluo Chi tribe had the intention of being a disobedient person. It had previously annexed many tribes. Many of these tribes were loyal to their dynasty. Many officials from the Ministry of War and the Censorate warned the court, saying that the barriers were gradually decreasing, and the land of Qinghai would sooner or later have great troubles. We should prepare early and prevent problems before they happen."

Wang Jiaping said: "It's light and everyone puts the words "unpredicted" in front of them, and they have prescient ideas. However, the drought in last year has not recovered from the entire northwest, and the treasury is empty. I don't know where the border salary will be this year. It's not that we don't have prescient ideas, but for the sake of our current plan, how do you ask us to prevent problems before it happens?"

Shen Shixing said: "Two, this emptiness of the treasury is not a matter of one day or two, and we will not mention the Qinghai matter for the time being, so let's focus on the present."

"A countermeasure?" Xu Guo sat beside Wang Jiaping and drank a tea ceremony. "The Fujian Governor reported that the Japanese would join forces with North Korea to launch an invasion. The news came from Fujian, which was from Ryukyu, and Fujian has always been the front line for the imperial court to prepare for Japan. Why did the Fujian Governor not have a definite news in advance, but instead came from hearing about it?"

Wang Jiaping said: "Whether it is heard, is it a collusion between Japan and North Korea or a strategy of separation, it is difficult to make a decision for the time being."

Xu Guo also said: "I think it is not credible for North Korea to collude with Japan to launch a military force. North Korea is also a country of etiquette. It has received the kindness of this dynasty. King Guanghai also warned us with a blood letter to this dynasty, how could he do such a traitor?"

Wang Jiaping suddenly said, "By the way, this envoy to Japan was Shen Guide's proposal when he was in the Ministry of Rites."

Xu Guo shook his head and said, "Shen Guide was ill at that time and did not preside over this matter. In fact, it was proposed by Lin Zonghai, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites at the time, to His Majesty."

Wang Jiaping said: "So that's it."

Xu Guodao: "At that time, Zhongbo was in his hometown, I still remember that Lin Zonghai's method of expedition was in the Ministry of War, and the foreign exchanges were in the Ministry of Rites, and each had its own positions. The Japanese and the dynasty had no contacts since the Ningbo Rebellion, so Lin Zonghai suggested using Ryukyu as an intermediary to communicate with Japan, to understand its intentions first, and then formulate a strategy for war defense."

Wang Jiaping said: "It's really a great idea. Why don't you ask Lin Butang first when it comes to this matter!"

Shen Shixing said: "Hey, he is already a retired person. Before, the emperor asked him to participate in politics and ask about things, but he was reluctant to use him."

Wang Jiaping said: "Yuanfu, if there is something wrong in the country, I have worked with Zong Hai for many years and know that he will definitely not ignore it if he thinks of the whole country."

Shen Shixing said: "Ask a minister who retired and found a military and national affairs. Isn't it a joke if it spreads out?"

Xu Guo smiled and said, "Yuan Fu, why is it difficult to make Zong Hai recover?"

Wang Jiaping also said: "But Lin Zonghai is still among the list of ministers elected by the Ministry of Personnel this year, and in terms of people, there are few officials today who can compare with him!"

Shen Shixing shook his head and said, "It's hard. He said it firmly last time. Even His Majesty left five memorials to comfort him, but he still resigned from his post and returned home. I think this matter should be asked about the Ministry of War."

Shen Shixing immediately ordered the Minister of War Zeng Tongheng to go to the cabinet's office.

Zeng Tongheng arrived soon after, he was from Jiangxi and was a Jinshi in the 38th year of Jiajing. He was the same year as Song Feng, the current Minister of Personnel. His younger brother was Zeng Qianheng. He had dealt with Lin Yanchao on time while on the Henan inspection tour.

Zeng Tongheng and his father Zeng Cunren both served as officials in the Wenxuan Department of the Ministry of Personnel, so they had very many connections in the court.

When Zeng Tongheng pushed the door and entered, Shen Shixing, Xu Guo and Wang Jiaping were having meals.

Xu Guo smiled and said, "Since the Grand Sima has arrived, let's get a share of the pie! There is no need to refuse, we just used our meal."

Zeng Tongheng said simply: "Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your invitation. It's better to obey your orders than respect."

Zeng Tongheng added bowls and chopsticks, and drank the rice in big mouthfuls of pork head sauce on the table.

Shen Shixing has always followed the way of dieting and cherishing blessings, so he ate very little. After eating, he quickly picked up a towel and handkerchief to wipe his mouth and asked, "Da Sima has been in charge of the Ministry of War for several months, I wonder if he has adapted?"

Zeng Tongheng said: "The affairs of the Ministry of War have always been complicated, and Zeng only came up with a clue after he took office."

"In the past, when Zeng was a border minister, he felt deeply that since Chenghua, the dynasty governed the world with civilization, and gentry had no knowledge of martial arts. Zeng thought that since ancient times, the talented people in the border areas either had the gift of heaven like Emperor Taizu, or had the military achievements in the army. They were far from being able to talk about war on paper after reading a few military books..."

Wang Jiaping said: "That's not the case. Wang Wencheng was fair in the rebellion of Ning Wang, and a scholar could actually maintain the country and build the country. Isn't that a good story?"

Zeng Tongheng shook his head and said, "I don't know how many scholars a man Wang Wencheng has harmed. Since ancient times, there have been many like Zhao Kuo, Yin Hao, Fang Guan, or Wang Wencheng Gong?"

Hearing Zeng Tongheng say this, Shen Shixing knew that the other party was secretly demoted Li Cai, the former governor of Yunyang.

Li Cai also has many achievements in the border areas. He usually compares himself with Zhang Liang and Li Mi, and effectively imitates Wang Yangming's Maotu and is a marquis.

In addition to his military achievements, Li Cai also liked to teach and teach apprentices, and there were many students. Scholars respectfully called him Mr. Jian Luo. However, when he was the governor of Yunyang, he changed the office of a general's general's office to his own academy and transferred the troops to serve as laborers for his students, which eventually triggered a mutiny.

As soon as this incident happened, someone exposed the fact that he killed good people and made great contributions when he was an official in Yunnan, and was then sentenced to the emperor to imprison him. Li Cai was very famous, and officials and scholars from all over the world all pleaded with the emperor, but the emperor still has not pardoned him.

Shen Shixing said: "It is rare to find sapwood, and it is even harder to find lateral generals. It is so difficult to choose generals and pick them up. This is the memorial of today's Fujian Governor Zhao Shenlu. What does Grand Sima think?"

Zeng Tongheng took the memorial from Xu Guona and looked at it, pondered for a while and said, "Zeng remembers that the Ministry of Rites used Ryukyu as an intermediary to enthrone the Japanese Kingdom."

Xu Guo nodded and said, "That's true. At that time, North Korea's Kwang Haijun warned the dynasty with a blood letter that Japan had intended to invade the dynasty, so the Ministry of Rites used the name of canonization to inquire about the truth. However, judging from the fact that this dynasty envoy received a letter from the Japanese pirates to the North Korea, Japan and North Korea also meant to collude..."

Zeng Tongheng asked, "So which minister was the one who presided over the enthronement at that time?"

"Lin Yanchao, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites at that time."
