As noon approached, the ministers finally stepped out of the Ganqing Palace.

This court discussion was also concluded.

The nine ministers came out in groups of three or three. Although the ministers looked tired on their faces, they still breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now during the court discussion, Lin Yanchao, who was making great contributions, was following Shen Shixing, Song Qian and other officials.

But when Song Qian said to Lin Yanchao, "What Lin Zongbo said in the court discussion just now is not without insight, but you don't know the current situation of the court. Where can I spend money to build sea ships and recruit troops."

Lin Yanchao said: "Reporting to the Dazai, it was the waiter who was reckless and had no caution. I will take out another one when I go back this time."

"You..." Song Qian shook his head when he heard this, and said with a smile, "You are so swearing to never give up. Why is the same as Gao Xinzheng and Zhang Taiyue in those days?"

Lin Yanchao said: "How dare the servants behave like two ministers? They are just for the court. There are Mongolia in Liaodong, Jurchens in the north, and North Korea in the south, and around the enemy on three sides. They must store money and food and guard them with strong troops. This maritime transportation strategy can not only help Korea, but also help Liaodong. It saves the court's transfer costs. In terms of big plans, there is no tip. Today, this money is unbearable, and it will be used more in the future."

Song Qian laughed when he heard this, shook his head and said, "I don't know what to say about Lin Zongbo's request. There is still something to do in the ministry. Yuanfu, Dazongbo, I will say goodbye first."

"Okay." Shen Shixing nodded.

After Song Feng left, Shen Shixing looked at Lin Yanchao without saying a word, walked forward with his hands behind his back, and then got into the sedan chair in front of Ganqing's door.

Lin Yanchao nodded to Shen Jiu beside the sedan chair and personally helped Shen Shixing get on the sedan chair.

Shen Shixing said to Lin Yanchao: "You were summoned to the palace last night, so you won't go back and settle your home first."

Lin Yanchao said: "The family affairs are managed by the servants. When the students are in their first place, I will come to ask the teacher for their teachings."

"You are the Minister of Rites now, and even I want to respect you as the Lord of the Lord."

Lin Yanchao didn't know what to say after hearing this.

Shin Shixing closed his eyes and shook his hand. Shin Jiu whispered: "Get up the sedan chair!"

Four sedan chairmen lifted Shen Shixing's soft sedan, and Shen Jiu and other followers left, leaving Lin Yanchao in place.

As the officials who walked out of the Ganqing Gate saw this scene, they all showed amusing, and then left Lin Yanchao as they spoke.

"It's so embarrassing."

Lin Yanchao said this in his heart, and remembered the previous court proposal that he finally proposed the maritime transportation strategy was unanimously opposed by Wang Yie, Shi Xing and Lu Guangzu.

In the end, the court only added the troops stationed in Denglai and Tianjin, and repaired the cities. As for the maritime transportation matter, it was finally abandoned.

The first court meeting where Lin Yanchao participated as the Nine Ministers was not so smooth.

This matter was expected by Lin Yanchao, but the opposition in the court discussion made Lin Yanchao feel a little difficult to deal with.

Lin Yanchao stood in front of Ganqing Gate for a moment, then rushed to Wenyuan Pavilion.

Because the New Year is approaching, I didn’t meet any officials along the way when I rushed from Ganqing Gate to Wenyuan Pavilion.

The Si Yan of Wenyuan Pavilion has been an old man for so many years. When he saw Lin Yanchao coming, he immediately pushed open the vermilion gate.

The guards can still be seen on the left and right sides of Wenyuan Pavilion, and officials traveled between the various rooms. Although it was during the ages, no one of the guards should be missing in the cabinet. Lin Yanchao looked at him from a distance and rushed to the cabinet.

As soon as he saw Shen Jiulin Yanchao, he stepped forward and said, "Brother Song, please report to my mentor on my behalf."

Song Jiu felt a little embarrassed: "Brother Da Zong, the master has been busy with the court today. He is now very tired and resting in the duty room. You should come back tomorrow!"

Lin Yanchao said: "It's okay, I'll wait outside the payroll room. When my mentor wakes up, please inform me."

Shen Jiu hurriedly said, "How can this be made? The second-rank minister of the Ministry of Rites is waiting outside the duty room. If you say this, you should not make things difficult for the villain... Well, the villain will ask you for help."

After Shen Jiu entered, he came out and reported: "Yuan Fu is having a meal, so come in first!"

Lin Yanchao immediately said, "Thank you, Brother Song, this love will definitely be rewarded in the future."

Song Jiu smiled and said, "I dare not be a good person. Da Zongbo is currently the most powerful minister. It will be a blessing in my life to not forget the villain in the future."

"You and I are friends with common people. I, Lin Yanchao, are not a person who forgets my roots? Don't mention such words in the future."

Shen Jiu smiled and lowered his voice, "The master didn't give you a good look in front of all the ministers. This is also because he didn't treat you as an outsider. Otherwise, you can see when the master has blamed others in person and then he will be fine if he says something."

Lin Yanchao heard this and said, "Thank you, Brother Song, for your advice."

Then Shen Jiu brought Lin Yanchao to the Shenshixing's room and saw that Shenshixing was really using lunch.

Although Shen Shixing was the prime minister of the empire, he was in the Wenyuan Pavilion's duty room, but he was not much more abundant than other officials who ate public meals, and only had one or two more dishes.

It’s not that Shen Shixing doesn’t like to enjoy it, but that he must do the things on the surface.

Although the dishes are ordinary, Shen Shixing still eats very carefully, with more than a dozen utensils with long chopsticks, fine chopsticks, silver spoons, and spoons.

Seeing Lin Yanchao enter, Shen Shixing looked up and waved to Shen Jiu.

After Shen Jiu retreated, Lin Yanchao and Shen Shixing were left in the room.

Shen Shixing didn't say anything, and Lin Yanchao stood facing Shen Shixing. Lin Yanchao remembered that when he first met Shen Shixing, the other party was kind and happy. Although he was a minister, he had no rudeness at all.

But today...well, who told the leader and I to be our own people?

Shen Shixing ate very carefully and had to pick up the bones in the fish before putting them in his mouth to chew them.

After almost eating, Shen Shixing wiped his mouth with a towel and a squid, then looked at Lin Yanchao and said, "It turns out that the master of the throne is here, but I am negligent."

Lin Yanchao said: "Mr., this is really a frustration for the students."

Shen Shixing laughed and said, "How dare you be a master? By the way, you call me my teacher, but I almost forgot what year you were in the Jinshi?"

Lin Yanchao replied: "When you say that, the student is a Jinshi in the eighth year of Wanli."

"The eighth year of Wanli!" Shen Shixing nodded and said, "So how many years did Shi Siong who was a dispute with you in the hall just now have been a Jinshi?"

Lin Yanchao replied: "It was the 38th year of Jiajing."

Shen Shixing said, "I was ranked three years earlier than me, where is Wang Sima?"

"He was a Jinshi in the 32nd year of Jiajing."

Shen Shixing nodded: "That's earlier.

Before Shen Shixing could continue to ask, Lin Yanchao said: "There is also Lu Situ who opposes student shipping. He is a Jinshi in the 26th year of Jiajing."

"You can learn from one example," Shen Shixing said, "The court's three ministries are in charge of the court's Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of War, Ministry of Justice, and Ministry of Justice. Half of the court's court's ups and downs have been in the ups and downs of the officialdom for decades, and half of the court is their disciples and former officials. Do you think it is necessary for them to buy your account in the court's court?"

"And Song Taizai, the dignified official of the Ministry of Personnel, when the court agreed, you did not thank him for recommending you as the Minister of Rites this time. Instead, he was competing to talk about the matter of shipping in Denglai. Where did this respect go? Do you only have the matter of shipping in your eyes?"

Lin Yanchao said: "My teacher, the students know that the court discussion is too reckless, but the students also have reasons."

"Students have been proposing reforms in the work of justice for nearly ten years. He advocated the establishment of righteousness and newspapers, which are long-term plans, and the merits that are worthy of the moment are the introduction of sweet potatoes and corn. This matter was achieved in Xu Tongzheng, but Xu Tongzheng passed away halfway, so the students did not achieve their full achievements."

Speaking of this, Lin Yanchao felt really sad when he remembered Xu Zhenming's death. Shen Shixing gave Wang Xijue the credit for this sweet potato, and Wang Xijue took advantage of Li Sancai. He had to mention this matter himself.

Shen Shixing must not speak.

"This time the students came to Beijing, and their students hoped that the students could fulfill their responsibilities in the court, not only to persuade the emperor, but also to accomplish some great things for the court, so that they could live up to the word "mastery". If the students did not argue in everything, wouldn't they just say nothing but practice? How would scholars in the world comment on students behind their backs in the future?"

Shen Shixing nodded and said, "Therefore, you know that it is impossible to do it. This is like a straightforward way, and it takes trouble as a benefit."

Lin Yanchao's cold sweat oozed out from behind, and his seemingly stupid actions in the officialdom allowed him to avoid many risks.

For example, this time, he advocated that sea transportation failed, but he won the reputation of being brave enough to speak out and advise during the Qing Dynasty. This is the official character that Lin Yanchao has always managed.

On the contrary, once the character collapses, the consequences will be unimaginable.

At this moment, Lin Yanchao had to bite the bullet and forcefully explained: "My teacher knows how can students do things that cannot be done? It's just that the emperor has repeatedly summoned them, and the students dare not let down the will of the saints. The students are also short-sighted and underestimated the matters discussed by the court. Several of the ministries and polite people are old-fashioned people, so how could they be moved by the students' words?"

Shen Shixing said: "It's not too late to understand now, so it's better to have a shipping matter."

Lin Yanchao immediately said: "My teacher, the student of this maritime transportation strategy was thoroughly thought about it in his heart, and discussed it with Wang Linhai, the former governor of the grain transport, for a long time. Moreover, if the sea ship was out of Huai'an, the salt from the two Huaihe Rivers could also be sold to Liaodong..."

When Shen Shixing heard this, he couldn't help but say, "Okay."

Lin Yanchao immediately poured tea for Shen Shixing.

Shen Shixing held the teacup and thought for a while, "Does Xu Xin'an have any arguments about this?"

Lin Yanchao said: "The student has not told him yet, but Lianghuai Salt Industry is his one acre and three-point land, and he will support it."

Shen Shixing put the teacup aside and immediately said, "You have too little experience in the court. It's too difficult to let the ministers sell you this face in the court. When Wang Linhai was the governor of the grain, he held real power, but he was dismissed from office because of the shipping. How could you pay for Wang Linhai in your own hands?"

Lin Yanchao said: "Students also know that this matter is not done overnight, but if it doesn't work once, it will be twice."

Shen Shixing said: "I can trust you with reluctance to give up your spirit. It's good that I can have a good talk with Xu Xin'an on this matter, so let's sit down!"

"Thank you."

Lin Yanchao knew that this matter was over, so he sat on the kang with Shen Shixing.

Shen Shixing asked, "Do you know the intention of summoning you back to Beijing to serve as Minister of Rites this time?"
