When the Ryukyu envoy said this, the emperor and all officials in the hall were stunned, thinking that this was really confusing!

Lin Yanchao's impression in the hearts of all officials was that he was the top scholar in the three-year rank. As a Hanlin writer, he specialized in calligraphy and classics. With this, he became famous in Korea, which admired Sinology, all officials could believe it.

But when it comes to solving a strange case and saving thirty-eight Ryukyu people, this is a bit outrageous. As scholars, they are studying and solving cases while saving the people of the vassal state. If they are told as a story of a folk wisdom, it is okay to listen to it as a joke after dinner, but if it is placed in the court, it is to fool us and insult my IQ.

Some officials thought to themselves that in order to please the emperor in this occasion, they should not say anything for no reason.

I thought our Ming ministers were good at flattering, but I didn’t expect that they would be the same everywhere. In order to get more rewards from the emperor, I don’t have to fight like this!

As for the little emperor, he also looked at the Ryukyu envoy, with a cautious look on his face.

Seeing the emperor's face, the official of the Honglu Temple beside him asked in the palace: "Empress, is this evidence that what you said?"

The Ryukyu envoy looked like this: "This incident is absolutely true. If it were not for the Zhuang Yuan Gong, all thirty-eight of us people had died. In order to thank the Zhuang Yuan Gong for his life, our Ryukyu people also set up statues in our hometown to worship him."

As soon as this statement was made, all the officials were in an uproar. This was really too exaggerated. The officials of the Honglu Temple also asked in disbelief: "There is such a matter. May I ask when will this happen?"

“It’s been more than three years!”

"More than three years? At that time, the top scholar was only fifteen or sixteen years old and actually handled the case." The official of the Honglu Temple looked puzzled and asked again, "You remembered it wrongly!"

When the Ryukyu envoy heard this, he immediately looked very angry and said, "How can you question me? Although I, Ryukyu, are honest people, and never deceive others. If I say nonsense, hum."

Seeing the swearing of the Ryukyu envoy, the officials must believe it, but they still found it too incredible.

At this time, the Ministry of Justice Yan Qing came out and said, "Report to Your Majesty, three years ago, the Fujian Censorate did report such a case of Ryukyu boat people. The Ministry of Justice had reviewed and registered it, so there was indeed such a case."

After hearing Yan Qing say this, the little emperor became interested and asked: "Who was the official who was in charge of this case at that time?"

"Report to your Majesty that he was the deputy envoy of the patrol of the sea route and was currently the Minister of Dali Temple He Yishan."

"Where is the minister of Dali Temple?"

The Minister of Dali Temple was the third rank, and was above the main hall. At this time, a minister in his fifties stepped out from the table and bowed to the front of the hall and said loudly: "My minister of Dali Temple He Kuan, please see Your Majesty."

The little emperor said to Yan Qing: "Yan Qing's family asked me for it!"

"Yes, Your Majesty," Yan Qing replied and asked He Kuan, "Do He Tingwei still remember the case of Ryukyu boat people?"

He Kuan looked at Lin Yanchao and immediately showed a little unhappy look. He said to Yan Qing: "I am aware of it. The coastal defense hall mistakenly regarded the Ryukyu boat people as Japanese pirates. He was already in prison and was ready to be executed. I checked the file and saw that the shape of the injured Japanese sword written on the file was actually a Ryukyu sword. Although the net of heaven was vast and unlimited, I did not indulge a traitor, but I should not kill Liangshan. After interrogating this suspicious point, I found that it was an innocent Ryukyu boat people. I explained it, and sent all thirty-eight people back to Ryukyu."

This case of Ryukyu boat people was a case that He Kuan had handled very proudly back then, and he even boasted about it in his spare time. As for the Coast Defense Museum, it was not actually arrested by mistake, but wanted to kill good people and make achievements.

However, in this Fengtian Hall, there are so many foreign envoys here, so it is hard for him to say that, so as not to damage the national system.

After hearing this, the officials thought that He Kuan was doing this beautifully, what happened to Guan Lin Yanchao? This Ryukyu envoy would have mistakenly recognized Lin Yanchao’s contribution!

Yan Qing nodded and said immediately: "He Tingwei is a blessing for the country."

Yan Qing praised He Kuan in front of the emperor and all officials. He Kuan was very happy, but said in front of him: "This is the responsibility, and he dare not take credit."

So Yan Qing pointed at Lin Yanchao and asked, "Would He Tingwei remember where Lin Xiu's efforts were made in this case?"

He Kuan said decisively: "The lower official doesn't remember."

He heard He Kuan's answer so resolutely that all the officials in the palace whispered and buzzed.

The little emperor also looked puzzled.

Yan Qing continued to ask, "Oh? Is there any mistake in what He Tingwei remembered? He Tingwei was an official in Fuzhou Prefecture at that time. Did he not know this writer Lin at all?"

He Kuan glanced at Lin Yanchao in the hall and said, "I know the top scholar Lang because he learned about the Yuan Dynasty, so I heard about it. However, after that, I was immediately transferred to Hubei and had a relationship with him, and I had never even seen him. What's more, when I was examining the Ryukyu case, the top scholar Lang was just a student, so I had never heard of his name at that time."

He Kuan was unhappy at this moment. These Ryukyu boat people were simply right and wrong. It was obvious that this official saved your lives, but you thanked a student for going to a student. Seeing that he won the top scholar and was appreciated by the emperor, he would not be so gigging on his face!

So He Kuan was very unhappy, and even Lin Yanchao was not happy.

As for a third-ranked Dali Temple minister, it is generally impossible to lie in the palace.

The officials thought there must be some misunderstandings in this. So Yan Qing looked at Lin Yanchao and asked, "Would the Tingwei's words be false?"

Everyone thought to themselves that it is really worthy of being a letter from the Ministry of Justice. Even the question is like a case trial, peeling off the threads and going deeper into the truth.

All the officials stared at Lin Yanchao to see how he answered.

But seeing Lin Yanchao answered without hesitation, "Every word of the Tingwei is true!"

The ministers looked at the Ryukyu envoy, but saw that the Ryukyu envoy looked unjust and wanted to say something, but they didn't dare to speak casually in the hall.

Yan Qing saw the expression of the Ryukyu envoy in his eyes, and he was not the one who made rash decisions.

So Yan Qing asked Lin Yanchao again: "Whether there is another hidden truth in Lin Xiu?"

He Kuan heard Lin Yanchao admit it and felt relieved. At the same time, he recalled what happened back then in his mind, and there was indeed no Lin Yanchao's existence.

All the officials also had questions.

Seeing Yan Qing ask a question, Lin Yanchao said: "The case of Ryukyu boat people did cause a sensation in our mansion. The Tingwei handled it impartially at that time, which was really a pleasure to the people. If the Tingwei had not made the case clear, the thirty-eight boat people would have become dead souls under the knife."

He Kuan nodded after hearing this. This case was his proud work. Later, he was promoted to Dali Temple Minister. It has something to do with the fact that the case was handled effectively. If Lin Yanchao erased his contribution, he would have to scold him in court no matter what.

However, Lin Yanchao said this now, which really made him feel very comfortable.

"Then what does it have to do with this case?"

Lin Yanchao said: "It was indeed the Tingwei who overturned the case. As for the lower officials, they just handed the Tingwei a complaint about the injustice."

He Kuan was shocked when he heard this, and stepped forward and asked Lin Yanchao: "Did you write that shape of paper?"

Lin Yanchao bowed and said, "The words he said to He Tingwei were indeed written below."

He Kuan suddenly laughed and said, "So that's it, so that's it, I understand."

Seeing He Kuan say this, all officials became even more confused. You understand, but I don’t understand yet.

The little emperor was even more foggy. At this moment, his heart was like a clutch of claws in his heart, but it was difficult to ask questions. Otherwise, if others understood, I wouldn’t understand. Isn’t this a wise mind that hurts the emperor?

Fortunately, Yan Qing was a bookmaker in the Ministry of Justice, and his mind was still very clear. But seeing Yan Qing's eyes turn, he shouted to Lin Yanchao: "Ms. Lin Xiu, you said that the paper for complaining about the injustice was written by you, but He Tingwei just said that when he was just a student, you were just a student, and the student was plotting a lawsuit privately. According to the laws and regulations, you need to eliminate fame and reputation. Don't you know?"

Hearing Yan Qing's words, he was so cold. As a Daqiu official who mastered the criminal laws of the Ming Dynasty, he was so timid that he would be scared to question an official in court.

But all the officials also followed Yan Qing's words that Lin Yanchao, as a living person, was of course illegal. If Lin Yanchao helped the Ryukyu boat people, he would be a violation of the law. If he didn't, he would be a palace to deceive everyone.

Yan Qing was really amazing. He grabbed the flaw immediately and the truth was revealed immediately.

Lin Yanchao thought for a moment and said, "As Daqiu Guan said, the lower officials also understood that when he was in the school, his piece of paper was not as good as the public. The lower officials drafted the complaint privately, and there was a last resort."

"Comrade Lin, if you want to say it carefully, the Holy Lord must not hide anything before!" Yan Qing said with a stern face.

"Yes, the officials happened to hear about this. These Ryukyu boatmen were descendants of the ship workers who sent to Ryukyu to build tribute boats in order to facilitate Ryukyu's tribute. Although these boatmen were born in foreign lands, they were all Chinese bloodlines, and they were the same as me. How could they not save them when they died?"

"Although the lower officials were a living person at that time, they could not hear the wrongs and refused to reiterate. They watched the boat people die for nothing, so they had to write down a letter of paper to submit it to the court guard for reiteration."

Yan Qing nodded and asked He Kuan: "So did the Tingwei try this case according to the complaint?"

He Kuan said: "Yes, this case was tried by Fuzhou Prefecture. If it weren't for the case being charged by Cheng Wen, I might not have known about it. Such unjust cases have occurred under the rule."

After hearing Lin Yanchao's words, everyone then figured out the whole story of the case. The reason why Lin Yanchao never mentioned this was to conceal the delivery of paper to the yamen when he was a living person. If this was exposed, it would be a loss of fame and fortune.

So Yan Qing nodded and said, "Your Majesty, this case has been revealed. Lin Xiu, who was a living student at that time, handed over the paper to the public. This was a crime knowingly. I beg your Majesty to make a decision!"

After Yan Qing finished speaking, the situation suddenly changed. The case of Lin Yanchao saving the boat people was not only ineffective, but also incurred for the crime.

If the person who said this was someone else, not Yan Qing, I am afraid that several court officials would stand up and speak for Lin Yanchao, saying that Yan Qing would be unfair to deal with things.

But the person who made this conclusion was Yan Qing, the Ministry of Justice, not others. You should know that Yan Qing is a recognized official in the court who is fair in his affairs and is an upright person.

Since he said this, it was definitely not out of selfishness, but rather to discuss the matter.

The officials did not dare to speak, but looked at Zhang Juzheng frequently. At this moment, only he came forward was qualified to refute Yan Qing. However, Zhang Juzheng had no intention of this at all.

Yan Qing and the justice of Lin Yanchao also knew that this letter from the Ministry of Justice had been in the palace examination and was very impartial during the imperial examination, saying that he would recommend his articles to the emperor and Shen Shixing.

If it weren't for this, his article would probably be wiped out by He Luoshu during the exam. After Lin Yanchao won the top scorer, he went to Yan Qing's house to thank him in private, but was told that I was just taking advantage of the country, not out of selfishness. If you have the will, try to be loyal to the country, and even if you repay me.

Then Lin Yanchao was turned away gorgeously.

Therefore, Lin Yanchao accepted Yan Qing's final statement with silence.

After hearing Lin Yanchao's words, the Ryukyu envoy couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

The little emperor looked solemn when he heard this: "The Ryukyu tribute tribute doesn't have to say anything more, I know what you want to say."

Under the gaze of the Jinyiwei, the envoy of Ryukyu could only retreat to the table. At this banquet, he wanted to tell this matter at this suburban celebration banquet, to gain reputation for Lin Yanchao and to gain the praise of the emperor, but he did not expect that Lin Yanchao would be convicted, which made him feel extremely guilty.

If Lin Yanchao was dismissed by the Ming emperor because of this, then he would have no choice but to apologize for his death.

The little emperor looked at Lin Yanchao and asked, "Do you have any objections to what Lin Xiu said to Yan Qing's family?"

Lin Yanchao lowered his head and said, "The official from the Great Qiu is very clear, but the weak ministers have no objection."

All the officials were worried about Lin Yanchao at this moment, like Chen Siyu. He Kuan thought that if the emperor really wanted to blame Lin Yanchao, then they would also plead for Lin Yanchao.

But when the little emperor said, "Written by Lin Xiu, do you know that there was a wrong saying when I just made a statement?"

Lin Yanchao said: "I beg your Majesty to make it clear!"

The little emperor said slowly: "You don't know where the mistake is. Then I tell you, you said that the people of Ryukyu are descendants of our Han family and have the same language and race as us, so we cannot stand by death and refuse to save them. Only then did we know that the law was broken, but we still wanted to stand up and argue for the people of Ryukyu!"

The officials wondered what was wrong with this sentence?

"You just think that the Ryukyu boat people are descendants of our Han family, so you ask each other for help. If the Ryukyu boat people are not our Han people and are close to us and have a blood relationship, will you not save these thirty-eight people's lives besides death?"

Lin Yanchao was stunned and thought, "You Zhu Yijun, you dare to play tricks on me."

Lin Yanchao raised his head, but saw a naughty smile in the eyes of the little emperor.

Lin Yanchao could only grit his teeth and went forward and said, "Your Majesty, I know my mistake."

Chen Siyu and others who were worried about Lin Yanchao just now breathed a sigh of relief, but instead smiled. This kid is really lucky. The emperor favors you so much and takes the initiative to exonerate you.

The little emperor still said with a stern face: "I am in the middle and polite all the countries, just like the vastness of heaven and earth. People come to pay tribute to you, no matter how far or near, the country is rich and poor, and they are treated equally."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The envoys from foreign countries bowed to the little emperor. It is not yet completed.
Chapter completed!
