However, as for when the sea whale bone needs to be moved, Shen Wen, as a small Honglu Temple, he can't decide.

It stands to reason that moving off the ship earlier can avoid the rush of things in the future.

However, Shen Wen was reluctant to do so.

After being removed from the ship, the responsibility for preserving the sea whale bone is their Honglu Temple, in case there is any damage, it is not clear at that time, it is better to put it on the ship, even if there is a problem, it is before the tribute.

Chen Zheng can also understand this, after all, it is related to the reputation of a department, and within the scope of the rules, flexible operation is also a necessary skill for an official.

Shen Wen reduced the risk of Honglu Temple, which naturally increased the risk of Chen Zheng and them, so he was a little reluctant to go, and offered to take them for a walk in Honglu Temple.

This Honglu Temple is not only a courtyard institution, it covers a wide area, the temple Qing, Shaoqing, the temple, as well as the main book, the record and other positions, a total of nearly 200 people.

Shen Wen was still there to introduce exaggeratedly, but Chen Zheng was a little speechless, the unit of nearly two hundred people actually sent Shen Wen alone to greet them, even if they were the tribute team of Dongyang County, it was insignificant, but this was too unimportant.

Shen Wen, who has been an official in Beijing for a long time, has an extraordinary ability to observe words and feelings, and he can immediately see that Chen Zheng's face is wrong.

Thinking back to what he said just now, Shen Wen immediately discovered the problem, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Although we have a lot of people here, we have a division of labor, so we really can't free up manpower." Shen Wen explained.

Chen Zheng was not very happy in his heart, and he didn't have too many concepts of dignity and inferiority, so he stopped and asked: "Lord Shen, we talked more speculatively before, you tell us the truth, did someone in Beijing deliberately snub us?" ”

Shen Wen rubbed the crutch that Chen Zheng gave him in his hand, and he looked a little speechless and stopped.

"Lord Shen doesn't have to scruple, there are reliable people here, the words come out of your mouth and stop in our ears, and no one else will know." Chen Zheng continued.

After Shen Wen hesitated for a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind, led several people into a pavilion, sat down separately, and then asked rhetorically as soon as he opened his mouth: "Do you know which of the six parts this Honglu Temple belongs to?" ”

"Honglu Temple is in charge of reception etiquette, and naturally belongs to the Ministry of Rites." Li Shuang replied.

Shen Wen nodded and continued to ask, "Then do you know which one is the current secretary of the Ministry of Rites?" ”

This Li Shuang didn't know, and after thinking for a while, Changshi Fan Bo replied with some uncertainty: "This secretary of the Ministry of Rites seems to be also surnamed Shen, called Shen Dongcheng, I remember that Lord Feng of the state capital mentioned him." ”

"Yes, it's Shen Dongcheng." Shen Wen affirmed.

Chen Zheng frowned and asked, "Lord Shen, does this Ministry of Rites Shangshu have anything to do with us people?" When we first came to Kyoto, we didn't seem to have offended him! ”

Shen Wen chuckled lightly and said, "You haven't offended him, but Dongyang County has offended Li Gang." ”

"What? My father offended Lord Shoshu of the Ministry of Rites! Li Shuang was very surprised, "He didn't come to Kyoto, how could he offend the Ministry of Rites?" ”

"Do you know about the no-sea order?" Shen Wen asked again.

A ban on the sea? It turned out to be for this reason.

When Shen Wen mentioned the ban on the sea, Chen Zheng and Li Shuang understood a little.

At the beginning, in order to help the victims, Chen Zheng built a ship and went to sea to fish with the support of Li Gang, the county commander, but after the disaster, he was impeached by Chen Xicheng, the assassin of the former Hongjiang Prefecture, because of this sea ban.

At the beginning, this matter was still in an uproar, and I heard that there was a lot of quarrel in the court, but in the end, Chen Xicheng, who proposed impeachment, was only moved to Qianyang Mansion, and then there was no more.

I thought this was the end of the day, but I didn't expect that there would be a follow-up.

"Shen Dongcheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, supports the sea ban?" Chen Zheng asked.

Shen Wen nodded and said, "Not only Shen Dongcheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but also Yu Youguang, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, and Xu Yiyang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. ”

When Chen Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, even Shangshu Ling supported the sea ban, so it can be seen how much pressure Li Gang, the commander of Dongyang County, and Feng Xueyong, the prefect of Hongjiang Prefecture, were facing at that time.

"Doesn't anyone support the repeal of the sea ban?" Chen Zheng asked, there will be no one without it.

"There's one." Shen Wen said, "Tang Yi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is a resolute advocate of abolishing the ban on the sea, he believes that the current sea bandits are serious and cannot be left alone, and it is necessary to strengthen maritime defense, which is the best policy to govern the country." ”

Chen Zheng nodded, this military department still has some foresight.

However, Chen Zheng immediately thought that it was impossible for Tang Yi to fight against three people alone, not to mention that among the three people, one was Shang Shuling.

Why is that? As a result, Chen Xicheng, who advocated the ban on the sea, was moved to the left, and from this point of view, it was the side that advocated the abolition of the ban on the sea that won.

A military secretary definitely does not have such a great ability to compete with three people, there must be someone behind Tang Yi to support him, and this person's power is even greater than that of Shang Shuling.

There is only one result, it is not only the military department that advocates the abolition of the ban on the sea, but also the Liang Emperor who is high up and sits on the dragon chair - Xiao Ding!

Thinking of this, Chen Zheng felt a lot more relaxed,

It seems that this trip to tribute will not be so simple, and there will inevitably be a lot of resistance, but now that these are in Chen Zhengkai, everything is floating clouds.

Since Emperor Xiao Ding advocated the abolition of the ban on the sea, it was impossible for them to suffer, and if they suffered, it would be impossible for them to abolish the ban on the sea, and then the subsequent decrees could not be implemented, which would further affect the national policy of the Great Liang State.

Shen Wen saw that a few people were silent, and said: "Since Honglu Temple belongs to the Ministry of Rites, it has been greeted from above, so I can't be too enthusiastic about you." Coincidentally, just in time for the Song State to send a delegation to envoy, Siqing transferred most of the manpower over, and only sent his own official to contact you. ”

"Then in that case, why is Lord Shen still so enthusiastic about us?" Chen Zheng smiled, he was in a relaxed mood now, and he started to joke again.

Shen Wen snorted lightly and said: "The eldest husband is in the world, he is standing upright, the job of this official is to entertain good envoys, whether it is foreign envoys or state and county tribute, they are all general, how can this official be different?" ”

"Good!" Chen Zheng praised, "So what does Lord Shen think about the sea ban?" ”

Shen Wen was stunned for a moment and said, "This official doesn't have any opinion on the sea ban?" can't help but have nothing to do with the official, so the official doesn't worry about it. ”

Chen Zheng was speechless, Shen Wen, who felt that his image was a little taller just now, went down again.
