After listening to Liu Yishuo's reprimand, Gong Nai couldn't help but be stunned and said: "Mr. Liu Ge, our Ming Dynasty has always received foreign envoys like this. How come it has become a sin here today? This official is absolutely not allowed to do this. I dare to agree!"
After Gong Nai finished speaking, other officials from the Ministry of Rites also looked aggrieved. Apparently they also agreed with Gong Nai's words!
Liu Yishui looked at this group of stubborn people and couldn't help but sneered: "You people are now at this time, and you are still hanging on to the same ideas as before. Can't you understand the holy will?"
Gong Nai's face was stern, and he frowned and said, "Isn't that kind of flattery done by people of my generation?"
As soon as this statement came out, I felt a little regretful, because this statement undoubtedly insinuated that Liu Yishen was trying to flatter someone!
However, Liu Yishen didn't take it seriously at all, and just said lightly: "If the current Holy Emperor is such a mediocre and unprincipled king, you can show some integrity by saying this, but since the current Holy Emperor ascended the throne, his talents have been roughly revealed. Wuwei, you still say that, that¡¯s a bit unkind!¡±
Gong Nai quickly bowed and apologized: "I made a mistake, please forgive me, Mr. Liu Ge!"
Liu Yishen waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter. However, your Majesty has agreed that the Ministry of Rites can assist the Military Aircraft Department in receiving the Mongolian envoys this time. However, if the Ministry of Rites does not know how to advance or retreat, I am afraid that all of you will be rejected by the Holy One. When the time comes, I'm afraid Even your career has come to an end!"
After all, Gong Nai was over sixty years old, and he came from a "official family". He had been a high-ranking official in the court since his grandfather's generation. Therefore, he was still very resistant to Liu Yishen's almost sensational words. He couldn't help but said: " What Mr. Liu Ge said is wrong. I am an official in the Ministry of Rites and have always been dedicated to my work. I really don¡¯t dare to accept the words ¡°I don¡¯t know whether to advance or retreat!¡±
Liu Yishen couldn't help but get angry again after hearing this, but Gong Nai continued to salute and said: "Although Xiaguan is already old, he still admires the current emperor, so Xiaguan wants to see what the emperor's so-called advance and retreat are. This collaboration The Military Aircraft Department is willing to take full responsibility for the reception of Lin Dan Khan¡¯s envoy, and I also ask Mr. Liu Ge to make it happen!¡±
Liu Yishen saw this old guy acting like he was relying on his elders, and really couldn't say anything to him, so he nodded and said: "In that case, there is Mr. Lao Gong. In addition, His Majesty has explained that this time the Ministry of Rites will assist the Military Aircraft Department in receiving Lin Dan. Khan¡¯s envoys should be young and quick-minded!¡±
Gong Nai smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty must have done this to train my officials in the Ministry of Etiquette. I will definitely not let you down!"
In fact, in the eyes of officials like Gong Nai, who are like old scholars, although the emperor Zhu Youxiao has made great achievements in martial arts, he is definitely an ignorant and perverse emperor in terms of learning, even if he can do it in a short period of time. Internally, Ming Dynasty's foreign war situation was reversed, but it still couldn't change the views of these people!
It's just that Zhu Youxiao is now too powerful. Not only the military, nobles, Confucius family, and wealthy businessmen from all over the country have been completely conquered by him, but also many scholars are praising him, especially Zhu Youxiao in Guangde Building. The nondescript song "A Man's Journey" is regarded as a masterpiece by many young scholars who feel uncomfortable being bound by the Four Books and Five Classics!
Nowadays in the capital, it is rare to see scholars wearing Confucian robes and holding folding fans. On the contrary, more and more scholars have begun to practice bowing and horse-riding with swords on their shoulders. In order to promote the practice of martial arts among scholars, Zhu Youxiao, Free cram schools have also been opened in the juvenile camp of the Guards Army, allowing those scholars to learn martial arts and become familiar with military life!
Especially in the study class of the youth camp, you can not only learn the martial arts of bow and horse, but also learn the operation of muskets and artillery. The most important thing is that free food and accommodation are provided there, which makes many scholars who are not well-off feel this way. There¡¯s a rush!
So this time Gong Nai did not hesitate to use his sixty-year-old age to condescend to work for the three people in the Military Aircraft Department, just to take the opportunity to beat Zhu Youxiao, this little emperor who was out of tune.
I have to say that Gong Nai is another civil servant after Liu Yishen who dares to fight with Zhu Youxiao!
And to a certain extent, Gong Nai is more courageous than Liu Yishen, because Liu Yishen attacked Zhu Youxiao because he didn't understand his ability, but Gong Nai is going to face Zhu Youxiao this time, but he is a little embarrassed. The water is cold now, and the sad spirit of a strong man will never come back again!
Liu Yishen naturally didn't know what Gong Nai was thinking, so after he finished explaining, he left the Ministry of Rites and left the choice of manpower to Gong Nai. As for the manpower to assist the Military Aircraft Department, Gong Nai did not talk to Zhu It was left to the principal to do the work. None of the old academics with bright heads and poor scriptures were selected. The ones chosen were all in their thirties and forties.Young and powerful officials, and even Ning Ximing, Zhu Youxiao's prospective father-in-law, are among them!
The next day!
After the morning dynasty, Gong Nai took a dozen selected officials from the Ministry of Rites to ask for an audience outside the palace gate, and soon they were taken to the Qianqing Palace!
At this time, there were only four people in the Qianqing Palace: Zhu Youxiao, Sun Chengzong, Sun Chuanting, and Hong Chengchou. When they learned that Gong Nai had brought people, Zhu Youxiao let them in directly!
After seeing the ceremony, Gong Nai said angrily: "Your Majesty, I have been ordered to lead a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites to assist the three adults from the Military Aircraft Department. I wonder if your Majesty has any instructions?"
Zhu Youxiao was not familiar with Gong Nai. He just heard that he was from a noble family and had no knowledge. He was just a bit old-fashioned, so he just said casually: "Gong Aiqing and everyone, please sit down for a moment and listen to Sun Aiqing." Analyze Lin Dan Khan¡¯s purpose of sending envoys to Ming Dynasty!¡±
Originally, Zhu Youxiao just said it casually, but Gong Nai snorted coldly and said: "The reason why Lin Dan Khan sent an envoy is just that the barbarians admire our Chinese culture and are afraid of my great power. What else can there be?" Purpose?"
When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he immediately understood that this person seemed to be looking for trouble. Thinking that no civil servant had come to trouble him for such a long time, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel itchy for a moment, and said with a smile: "Private love You think so? But I don¡¯t know how Gong Ai Qing thinks Lin Dan Khan¡¯s envoy should be treated?¡±
Although Zhu Youxiao showed an attitude of asking for advice humbly, Gong Nai was very cunning. He naturally knew that this little emperor was not easy to deal with, so he said carefully: "Your Majesty, in accordance with the opinions of my veterans, treat Lin Danhan's envoys , There are only two ways. If he really wants to make friends with me, Ming Dynasty, he should be treated with courtesy. If he has ulterior motives, then Ming Dynasty, naturally, cannot let him do whatever he wants!"
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said with a smile: "Then I would like to ask you, Mr. Gong Ai, how do you know whether Lin Danhan is sincerely friends with me, Daming, or whether he is hypocritical and has ulterior motives?"
Gong Nai said very matter-of-factly: "Of course, listen to his words and observe his actions. If Lin Danhan's envoys are polite in speech and respectful in behavior, they must be on good terms with the Ming Dynasty. But if they are disrespectful in words and act erratically, they must have ulterior motives." !¡±
Although Zhu Youxiao asked Gong Nai just out of fun, and he didn't expect Gong Nai to give any constructive answers, after hearing Gong Nai's words, he couldn't help but rub his forehead and said: " It turns out that this is how the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty dealt with foreign vassals. It really opened my eyes. Let's do this! Gong Aiqing and everyone should sit down and listen to what Sun Aiqing said first, and then we can discuss what to do specifically! "
Gong Nai couldn't help but feel a little upset when he saw Zhu Youxiao behaved like this after listening to his words. Moreover, although he was old-fashioned, he was an old man who had been in the officialdom for decades. Naturally, he could see that Zhu Youxiao was disapproving of him. What he said was extremely disappointing, so Gong Nai didn't confront Zhu Youxiao, he just responded and took the people to sit aside!
However, Gong Nai did not give in, but thought in his heart: "I will see what you have to say. If there is something wrong, I will definitely let you know how awesome it is!" (Remember this site's URL: www .hlnovel.com
