.    No pop-up windows, thousands of book fans are online at the same time. "Haha, Yuan Fu, it's really easy to find. I didn't expect to come to Qianqingmen. Well, now that I have met, the note submitted to the cabinet by the Ministry of War is also very long."  Has it been a while? When is the cabinet going to sign the approval?" Seeing Zhao Zhigao, Shi Xing asked half-truthfully.

    Zhao Zhigao has learned a lot about Shi Xing's noisy behavior these days, and he knows that getting angry with him means being in trouble with him, and he really can't do it.  So I just snorted, turned my head and didn't bother to pay attention, and just ignored it.

    Shi Xing chuckled dryly, said hello to the other people, and then walked straight to Zhao Zhigao without saying a word, just dangling in front of his eyes, which annoyed Zhao Zhigao.

    Aren¡¯t you pretending not to see me?  Well, I'll let you see it right in front of your eyes.

    When several other people saw Shi Xing's behavior which looked very much like a rogue, they all looked at each other with helpless expressions and smiled bitterly.  It seems that it is better to offend as little as possible from this Minister of the Ministry of War who likes to act stupid in the future, otherwise he will be annoyed to death and angry to death. He said, why didn't Shi Xing be found to be such a person before?  Is it true, as he said, that the small Japanese country can refuse the peace talks of the mighty Ming Dynasty?

    As the person who was annoyed by Shi Xing, Zhao Zhigao simply closed his eyes and fell asleep.  Well, Shi Xing, the days ahead are long, let¡¯s ride on the donkey and read the songbook - wait and see, do you think we are just hanging out here?  We were summoned by the emperor to discuss the matter. When the emperor comes later, I just need to kick you out, the Minister of the Ministry of War, who is irrelevant, or give you a scolding. It depends on where you go with your old face.

    At this moment, Zhao Zhigao was looking forward to Zhu Yijun's arrival soon.

    As early as Shi Xing arrived, a young eunuch rushed to inform Zhu Yijun, so Zhao Zhigao did not feel uncomfortable for a long time, and Zhu Yijun came to the pavilion in Qianqing Gate.

    When he first saw Shi Xing bidding farewell to Zhao Zhigao, he not only raised the corner of his mouth, but also smiled a little. This situation is very good. Although there are many different voices in the DPRK, except for the so-called Zhejiang, Chu and Qi parties  Apart from that, they are all incompetent, and it is difficult to fight against people from Zhejiang and Chu. Since Zhang Juzheng, most of the bachelors in the cabinet are from Zhejiang and Chu, and their voices are too unified.

    Zhu Yijun very much hopes that this balance will be broken. Except for his own voice, there must be no situation where everyone responds to everything in the court. The appearance of Shi Xing is an opportunity. He is a "Northerner", his status is sufficient, he is serious in doing things, and his vision is pretty good.  Not bad, maybe the right candidate.

    Of course, the people present had no idea that Zhu Yijun had made so many twists and turns in an instant. After seeing him appear in the pavilion, they all hurriedly paid their respects.  The few bachelors in the cabinet are doing better. They can finally see Zhu Yijun every once in a while. He usually only receives everyone in the cabinet. However, Shi Xing, the Minister of War, and Fan Qian, the Minister of Rites, do not have this treatment. They have not had this treatment for a long time.  I had seen the emperor before, so I felt a little emotional and excited for a while.

    "I will bow to the Emperor"

    "Well" Zhu Yijun walked to the dragon chair set up in the center of the pavilion with one hand behind his back. After sitting down, he waved his hand: "No courtesy, please get up."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty"

    After glancing at the six people who stood up respectfully, Zhu Yijun slowly said: "I have called you here this time because there is something I want to discuss with you, Shi Xing."

    Zhao Zhigao was shocked. Are you going to drive people away?

    "I'm here." Shi Xing clasped his fists and responded respectfully.

    "Let me tell you about the inspection of North Korea that you proposed." Zhu Yijun's words made Zhao Zhigao extremely disappointed, and also made everyone except Shi Xing a little confused. Isn't it about the crowning of the eldest son of the emperor and the selection of concubines?

    "Follow the decree"

    Shi Xing looked at the other five ministers present and said seriously: "Since the Japanese invaded our Ming Dynasty's vassal Korea, under the emperor's wise decision, although our Ming Dynasty responded in time and sent troops to aid Korea, it fully demonstrated the great power of the Ming Dynasty.  With their style, the nearly 200,000 Japanese troops fighting with tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers retreated steadily, wagging their tails and praying for peace. However, due to North Korea's inaction and lack of preparation in the early stage, it almost led to the collapse of the country. Before the Ming Dynasty sent troops, the Eight Route Army in the country had already  Losing seven of them can be said to be a heavy loss. The country is filled with mourning, and both the army and the people are depressed."

    After a pause, he continued: "As the sovereign state of North Korea, it is our unshirkable responsibility to help the vassal countries. Since the Li family surrendered to our Ming Dynasty, there have been few disloyal and unjust people in North Korea. Therefore, in order to comfort and encourage North Korea after experiencing the catastrophe,  In order to rebuild and strengthen their confidence, in order to fully demonstrate the benevolence and righteousness of our great dynasty, and in order to let North Korea appreciate our emperor's grace, it is urgent to send an imperial mission with important ministers as its leaders."

    After hearing what Shi Xing said, the four bachelors of the cabinet and the Minister of Rites couldn't help but feel a little surprised. It turned out that it was still a matter of North Korea. But then they thought about it. Shi Xing's?The suggestion is indeed good. Since we have spent so much money to aid Korea and fight against the Japanese, it is the best choice to send an imperial envoy on behalf of the emperor to express condolences to Korea, which is in chaos after the war.  The concern and kindness are overwhelming, but the key is that it doesn¡¯t cost much to make North Korea grateful.

    Even Zhao Zhigao, who originally wanted to object, had to admit that Shi Xing's proposal was relatively pertinent and feasible.  However, Shi Xing's next words almost made Zhao Zhigao, who had just praised Shi Xing in his heart, get angry.

    "Your Majesty, regarding the matter of sending a mission to North Korea, I believe that the higher the status of the imperial envoy, the more it can reflect the benevolence, righteousness and sincerity of our Ming Dynasty." Shi Xing turned around and reported to Zhu Yijun.

    "Yes, this issue of imperial envoy selection needs to be carefully considered." As soon as Zhu Yijun opened his mouth, he agreed to Shi Xing's proposal.

    "I have a good candidate. As long as he is sent to North Korea as an imperial envoy, he will surely make everyone in North Korea grateful and remember the emperor's grace." Shi Xing cupped his hand and said extremely seriously.

    Zhu Yijun smiled inwardly. He had already guessed what Shi Xing was going to say, but he still asked with a kind face: "If Aiqing has any candidates, I just want to talk to you."

    "Your Majesty, looking at both inside and outside the Ming Dynasty, I have thought about it and finally thought of an extremely suitable candidate. That is Zhao Zhigao, the cabinet scholar. As long as he comes forward as an imperial envoy, he will be the most convincing person. Everyone in North Korea will never forget the emperor.  Tian En and Mr. Zhao have great righteousness." Shi Xing reported to Zhu Yijun with a serious face without even looking at Zhao Zhigao.

    Zhao Zhigao now wants to strangle Shi Xing to death. I am an old man in his seventies. You damn bastard, you want me to travel a long distance to North Korea, which has just gone through the war and the vicious Japanese pirates have not yet completely evacuated?  How can you make North Korea appreciate my high righteousness? You clearly want me to "succumb to death". As long as I go to North Korea as an imperial envoy, I will most likely die in a foreign land.

    In order to achieve his goal, Zhu Yijun pretended to frown, looked at Zhao Zhigao, and said: "Ai Qing's proposal is also pertinent. If you want to show my sincerity to the Ming Dynasty, only the cabinet bachelor is the most suitable candidate."

    After hearing Zhu Yijun's words, Zhao Zhigao almost didn't mention it. He glared at the old and comfortable Shi Xing fiercely, hugged his fists at Zhu Yijun, and had to say: "Master Shi's proposal is indeed good, and I also want to go as an imperial envoy."  North Korea worked for the emperor, but time was not forgiving, and he was already in his twilight years. His health was getting worse and worse, and he was prone to many illnesses and disasters. He could go to see his ancestors at any time. Although his passion was still there, the old minister thought about it carefully.  But I am a little scared, lest I fail to fulfill the important tasks entrusted by the Emperor, lest something unexpected happens on the way, wouldn¡¯t I be living up to the Emperor¡¯s kindness?¡±

    Although Zhao Zhigao did not explicitly refuse, anyone could hear his evasion.

    Shi Xing curled his lips at Zhao Zhigao, he was really an old guy who was afraid of death.

    Zhu Yijun frowned and said: "Ai Qing's words are true. After all, time does not let you down. As you get older, you are afraid of bumpy roads." Then he glanced at the remaining three cabinet bachelors: "Among you,  Who is more suitable?"

    The other three cabinet bachelors were all shocked. Chen Yubi was the youngest among them, more than 20 years younger than the chief minister Zhao Zhigao, and he was only in his early fifties now.  However, he also had the advantage of not having to travel to North Korea, and that was that he was in extremely poor health and looked worse than Zhao Zhigao, who was in his seventies, so he spoke first: "I am the youngest person in the cabinet, and it is said that I am not as good as the minister."  It is our duty to conquer Korea, but the emperor and all your lords know that my body Alas, I am powerless."

    The remaining Zhang Wei is an old friend who has shared joys and sorrows with Zhao Zhigao for many years. Shen Yiguan is also a fellow villager of Zhao Zhigao and a confidant he values ????so he does not want them to go there even though they are both in their sixties.  Thousands of miles away in the chaos of North Korea, I had to say: "Your Majesty, I think that in addition to the cabinet, Master Shi, the Minister of War, is also a very suitable candidate. As Minister of War, he played an indispensable role in the Ming Dynasty's fight against Japanese aggression and aid to Korea.  North Korea will also be grateful for his contribution, so sending Master Shi as an imperial envoy would not be an insult to the majesty of the Ming Dynasty."

    Zhao Zhigao¡¯s words made Shi Xing frown. Why did these words become more and more unpleasant the more he heard them?  Is this belittling that I am not as noble as your cabinet bachelor?

    "Master Zhao, what you said is totally ridiculous." Shi Xing said unceremoniously: "Your Majesty, the cabinet is the center of the country and the pillar that assists the Emperor. I have a low status. As an imperial envoy to North Korea, I may have betrayed the divine grace and the effect will be great."  Discount. In addition, the war in the country continues, and the Japanese side does not know how the peace talks are going. As the minister of the Ministry of War, I have to be in the middle to coordinate the envoys. I am afraid it is not appropriate. "

    ¡°Hmph,¡± Zhu Yijun pretended to be angry: ¡°You are shirk- ing away one by one. I¡¯m afraid you think it is dangerous to go to North Korea and you are worried about it.Is your own safety in danger?  I don¡¯t need you, let my royal family go, it can still represent the sincerity of my Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, King Lu has become a vassal of Weihui. The third son of the emperor is still young, so send the eldest son of the emperor to North Korea, which can not only fully demonstrate  I am very sincere, and it just so happens that I can discuss with the Queen his coronation ceremony and selection of his concubine during this period of time."
