It snowed heavily in the capital last night, covering the ground three feet.

Lin Yanchao was still in the fourth day of the day, so he got up from his bed and rushed to the imperial city.

Generally speaking, if there is strong wind, heavy snow, or heavy rain on the day, then the emperor can order to stop talking and not come to Wenhua Palace. However, according to the rules, Lin Yanchao, as a minister, must come.

This is similar to the morning dynasty. When encountering wind and snow, the emperor can order the court to be exempted, but civil and military officials still have to go to Huangji Gate to pay tribute.

So on this day, Lin Yanchao wore a felt robe on the court robes, and Chen Jichuan rode an umbrella to cover the wind and snow to the lecturer's house.

After the lecturer arrived at the house, the sky outside was still pitch black and the cold wind was howling.

The clerk yawned the lamp on his palm, lit the charcoal basin, asked Lin Yanchao but had no instructions, and then he went to the clerk's house to sleep and get back to bed.

Lin Yanchao sat on the chair and closed his eyes. He was not idle, but he followed the sermons he wanted to talk about today. Although the emperor would probably stop speaking today, Lin Yanchao was still prepared for any trouble.

After sitting for a while, he felt that the cotton curtain at the door was lifted up. After Lin Yanchao opened his eyes and saw someone coming in, he immediately stood up and bowed, "The officials have met the central hall."

The other party was Zhang Siwei. He nodded and said, "When did Lin Zhongyun arrive?"

"The officials have just arrived."

Zhang Siwei nodded and took his seat, then signaled Lin Yanchao to sit down and said, "Yesterday, He Yude submitted a memorial to ask for a leave of absence. It was Dumen at home. Today, I said that Lin Zhongyun needs to take it with all his strength."

Lin Yanchao said in surprise: "Zhongtang, why did He Yude submit a memorial to ask for a leave of absence?"

Zhang Siwei said: "What he said in the memorial and merits of virtue are not enough to assist the saint. He served as a lecturer for seven years and was very tired and difficult to sustain. Therefore, he begged Your Majesty to choose a virtuous person again."

Lin Yanchao thought to himself, He Luowen did not mean this. It was obviously the last time that the emperor went back on his word because of the appointment of Concubine Gong, so he wrote a letter to ask for it. This is the bad temper of the Ming Dynasty doctors, and we all resigned from the office after all. But when Lin Yanchao thought, He Luowen was a minister who served the emperors of the three dynasties and the emperor would definitely be kept by the emperor.

However, Lin Yanchao felt a little uncomfortable when He Luowen went on strike. He originally talked about two people today, but he seemed to be going to have a one-man show today.

So Lin Yanchao said to Zhang Siwei with embarrassment: "Zhongtang, He Yude is not here, and the sermon of the lower official can't be talked about for the first half of the day!"

Zhang Siwei smiled and said, "I know that Zong Hai will ask this question. After you finish the lecture, you can improvise other things. As long as you don't insult the sage, your cabinet will not care about it."

After asking Zhang Siwei's words, Lin Yanchao felt much more at ease, so he said, "Then the official will do his best."

Zhang Siwei nodded slowly, and then said, "By the way, in ten days, the envoy Duoyan will come to pay tribute and pay homage to Your Majesty. The lecturer must serve the escorts at the side. At that time, your Majesty will issue an order to reward and comfort the envoys, and the lecturer must draft the imperial edict on his behalf."

"In the past, the envoy Duoyan came and He Yude responded to it. But this time He Yude asked for a break, and the other lecturers were not allowed to go free, so this time our cabinet department wanted you to come forward."

"You can ask, why did you ask for the past? " Lin Yanchao asked.

Zhang Siwei smiled and said, "That's because He Yude is well-versed in Mongolian language. After he wrote the imperial edict, he could literally translate it into Mongolian language and say it to the envoy Duoyan."

Lin Yanchao said immediately: "But the officials don't know how to write a essay!"

Zhang Siwei said: "It's okay. In the past, when no one of the lecturers knew Mongolian language and language, they would ask the translator in the Tatar Hall in the Siwuguan to interpret on the spot. It is easy to make mistakes when asking others to translate. In the past, the translator of the Tatar Hall in the Siwuguan often translated the imperial edict incorrectly and even offended the envoys of foreign countries because of this. You also know that the imperial edict is the golden mouth of Your Majesty, so how can there be any deviation? The word should not be a disgrace to the national system, and it also makes the hearts of foreign ministers."

Lin Yanchao asked, "How should I do if I dare to ask the official?"

Zhang Siwei smiled and said, "It's easy. You reward the emperor in advance, comfort the envoy Duoyan's edict, make a draft, and then go to the Siyiguan Tatar Hall to invite a few well-educated translators who have been working for many years. Discuss the drafted decrees with them word by word, so that they can have a clear mind. When the emperor asks them to translate the decrees, it will not be easy to make mistakes."

Lin Yanchao suddenly said, "So that's it. Thank you, the minister, for your advice."

Zhang Siwei smiled and said, "It's just a simple task. Zong Hai, you are rigorous and serious in your work. Our cabinet department has always been at ease with you."

"Xiaoguan Xie Zhongtang raised his praise."

While the two were talking, a wind blew outside again. Although the snow had stopped at this moment, the strong wind made the window lattice so loudly.

Zhang Siwei glanced outside and said with a smile: "But I don't think we'll talk today, so let's sit here!"

"Yes." Lin Yanchao responded respectfully.

So the two of them sat in the Japanese lecturer's house and waited. Soon, the sound of boots stomping on the snow came from outside.

Lin Yanchao and Zhang Siwei both opened their eyes, and an eunuch came in with a curtain and said, "Your Majesty set up a Wenhua Hall, please go and welcome the coach together!"

Zhang Siwei and Lin Yanchao were both a little surprised, so they stood up together, then tidied up their official hats and court uniforms, and followed the eunuchs to Wenhua Palace one after another.

Soon the emperor's imperial lord arrived at Wenhua Hall and the two followed again.

In the corridor of Wenhua Hall, the little emperor sat on the imperial throne and said with a smile: "Last night, I revised the memorial until the third update. I was waiting to sleep late today, but I woke up for some reason before the fourth update and had no sleepiness anymore. I thought it would be great if I could only sleep for one hour every day, so I would have more time to deal with the government."

After hearing the emperor's words, Zhang Siwei immediately said: "Your Majesty takes care of the dragon body first, so I am so uneasy!"

The little emperor smiled and said, "What are the words of the young master? In the early years of this dynasty, the emperor worked hard to govern the country. In addition to the morning court, there are also afternoon and evening courts, and ordered that all departments and government offices must have 185 things and must report to the emperor in person."

"I think about it today, but it is very different. I am not as smart and powerful as Emperor Taizu Gao, and even inferior to diligent work. I really feel guilty when I dream of it every night."

Zhang Siwei said: "Your Majesty, Emperor Taizu Gao founded a foundation at that time, so he did everything himself. Now the world is peaceful and there is nothing to do in all directions. Your Majesty can rule it with a tribute!"

The little emperor sighed: "Liaodong, Huaisi and Si have just been affected by disasters, and there are wars in Liaodong. There are also Duoyan tribes, Fuyu tribes, Taining Wei, Huoluochi and other tribes that are all going to pay tribute. How can you say that there is nothing wrong in all directions?"

After a pause, the little emperor said again: "He Lecturer, haven't you come today?"

Zhang Siwei said: "Yes, He Yude is already begging for a break at home."

The little emperor thought for a while and said, "When I ascended the throne, why did the lecturer stay and live alone, I really can't live without him. Since he was tired and laboring, let the officials of the Honglu Temple go to express their condolences first. Let Lin Zhongyun talk to me today." (To be continued.)
