Duan Fei sneered: "Foreign exchanges are a very professional thing, people who deal with firewood, rice, oil and salt every day don't know the way of diplomacy at all, and there is Master Lin who supports convincing people with virtue just now, right?" Your Majesty, since Lord Lin is rushing to be the Minister of Foreign Affairs, it is better to send him as a diplomat to Japan for a trip, and spread my new foreign policy to those foreign barbarians, lest they do such a barbaric and ignorant thing again. ”

Lin Jun immediately retorted: "Lord Duan, you proposed to set up a foreign ministry, could it be that you want to take the post of foreign minister to envoy to Japan?" Your Majesty, Weichen implored the Emperor to appoint Lord Duan as an envoy to Japan, as long as Lord Duan returned safely, what about splitting the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from the Ministry of Rites? ”

Duan Fei said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, Wechen is willing to go to Japan for a trip, but not now, when Lord Guo pacifies the Haijiang, Wechen is happy to take the fleet to Japan to show off his might, great power diplomacy is based on strength, even if you go to the enemy country, you can be safe and sound, Lord Lin, do you know who is the most powerful in Japan now?" Do you know where the King of Japan is now? You don't understand anything at all, so what else will you do? Ministry of Rites, hehe, the emperor, Weichen suggested splitting the Ministry of Rites, forming the Ministry of Education to manage education and scientific research full-time, and forming the Ministry of Culture ......"

When Lin Jun heard Duan Fei's words, his blood immediately surged, where did the Ministry of Rites dismantle his Shangshu? This Duan Fei is too much! Lin Jun was furious and roared angrily: "I will kill you traitor who is clever and slanderous and harms the country!" ”

Lin Jun punched him, Duan Fei easily dodged it, and his mouth kept saying, "Your Majesty, you see that Lin Shangshu is so narrow-minded, how can he let him manage diplomacy?" When encountering a bit of arrogance and unreasonableness, it is strange that he doesn't fight with others on the spot, I think Lin Shangshu has more common language with Zong, if the diplomatic envoys of the world are like this, then it will be a lot of fun. ”

Zhengde said angrily: "Stop! Lin Jun, you are so bold, you dare to beat the minister on the Jinluan Palace! What a system! ”

Lin Jun was pulled away by the golden bull guard of the town hall, he suddenly woke up, bowed to Zhengde, and said: "The emperor, please calm his anger, Weichen has lost his temper, Duan Fei actually wanted to abolish the Ministry of Rites, the emperor, the Ministry of Rites was established since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and it has been followed for more than a thousand years, and no one has ever said anything about the Ministry of Rites. ”

At this time, Zhang Yue opened his mouth, and he said slowly: "Your Majesty, the old slave thinks that nothing has been immutable since ancient times, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty began to set up a Ministry of Rites, should we change it back according to the practice before the Northern Zhou Dynasty?" Lord Lin's hair has turned a lot gray after Ren Shangshu, it seems that the affairs of the Ministry of Rites are really too much, and Weichen also suggested splitting the Ministry of Rites, so that Lin Shangshu can have less gray hair, which is also the emperor's kindness. ”

Duan Fei hates the Ministry of Rites the most, and the other five departments at least have clear functions, and this Ministry of Rites is too much to manage, and the two Shangshu before and after are very annoying, and they didn't want to dismantle it all at once, but since Lin Jun even moved his fists and feet, Duan Fei was not polite.

Guo Zhen also agreed, Yang Yiqing's heart suddenly cooled, the master of ceremonies and Dongchang and Jinyiwei joined forces again, this situation is similar to the situation when Liu Jinquan was in power! Zhengde is by no means the old master, under the provocation of Duan Fei and others, what kind of reaction will he make?

Sure enough, Zhengde, who is often constrained by the Ministry of Rites, said happily: "Okay, the Northern Zhou Dynasty began to set up the Ministry of Rites, which left a name in history, and I split the Ministry of Rites today, and I will definitely be able to preach the praise for a thousand years, according to Duan Aiqing's meaning, the Ministry of Rites will be divided into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Culture. ”

"The emperor, please think twice...... "The civil officials headed by Yang Yiqing saw that the situation was not good, and they all opposed, and the full promotion of the ceremonial supervisor and Dongchang and Jinyiwei, coupled with the support of Zhengde, seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, Yang Yiqing made a heart, and bowed to Zhengde: "Your Majesty, the old minister can't persuade the emperor to take back his fate, so he can only resign and go home to retire, please ask the emperor for permission!" ”

Zhengde was stunned, Yang Yiqing suddenly came to mind when he met him in Zhenjiang, Yang Yiqing was invited back by him, and he was his teacher, Zhengde still respected him a lot, and his heart turned, Zhengde said softly: "Yang Aiqing, I don't allow you to resign, so let's do it, it's a foregone conclusion that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will come out of the etiquette, as for the rest, let's press it for the time being." ”

Yang Yiqing smiled bitterly in his heart, and had to get up with gratitude, everyone saw that Yang Yiqing could only do this step when he resigned, thinking about it, it was not a big deal to divide the diplomatic power, there were only a dozen or so subject countries of the Ming Dynasty, since the method of entertaining envoys was modified, it is estimated that there will not be a diplomatic envoy coming over in a few years, so forget it.

When Zhengde asked who should be in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Zhang Rui suggested: "Your Majesty, the old slave recommended the great eunuch Kou Yu to take charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he used to be the eunuch in charge of the Guangzhou City Shipping Division, and he was the most suitable." ”

Kou Ang is the second person in the celebrant supervisor, and he was still above Guo Zhen at the beginning, but now Zhang Rui proposed to let Kou Ang serve as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and everyone's eyes looked at Duan Fei and Guo Zhen in unison.

I saw Duan Fei and Guo Zhen say in unison: "Your Majesty, Weichen (old slave) seconded the proposal." ”

Everyone will come to their senses, the master of ceremonies, Dongchang and Jinyiwei have really joined forces!

Kou Ang is also one of Zhengde's closer chamberlains, Zhengde made a decision at the moment, Kou Ang became the first minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and various functions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were temporarily selected by Kou Ang from among the chamberlains. However, this is not absolute, as long as you have confidence in the diplomatic career and have potential, you can do it

In this battle, the outer court won and lost, and even their own positions were divided out, and most of the civil and military officials shook their heads gloomily when they retreated, including Qian Rujing, who were very confused.

Duan Fei said goodbye to the emperor and returned to the noon gate, Yang Sen led the horse to greet him, and said, "My lord, here is a letter sent by Lord Yang, the first assistant. ”

Duan Fei was surprised: "Lord Shoufu? ”

He took the letter and put it away without reading it, and said, "I know, let's go, let's go back to the ya." ”

Duan Fei rode back to Goldfish Hutong, and when he passed by Xingwang's Mansion, he happened to take a small sedan chair out of Xingwang's Mansion, and the little guy in front of the sedan chair turned around happily when he saw Duan Fei and shouted: "Childe, it's Lord Duan, Lord Duan, please wait a minute." ”

Duan Fei dismounted with a wry smile and walked over, arched his hand to the small sedan chair, and said, "Master Zhu, what a coincidence." ”

As soon as the sedan curtain was lifted, Princess Yongfu, who was dressed as a woman, revealed half of her face, she smiled at Duan Fei and said, "Lord Duan, what a coincidence, Xiaoqian, why don't you go and bring the jade lion over for me?" ”

Duan Fei hurriedly said, "Where does Zhu Gongzi want to go?" I turned a corner and got home. ”

Princess Yongfu let out a sigh of disappointment, and was about to speak, when suddenly a horse came galloping, and immediately the knight shouted: "The horse is frightened, get out of the way, get out of the way!" ”

The horse went straight to the princess's sedan chair, today the princess did not have a strong guard, the two palanquin drivers were so frightened that they ran early, Princess Yongfu saw the galloping horse, she was already stunned, Duan Fei saw this and walked towards the galloping horse, slapped a palm on the horse's left front leg, the healthy horse roared, and fell down, Kankanlian took the horse to roll to the princess's sedan chair......
