Daming talker

Chapter 568: No One Knows the Hard Work (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
At this time, Lin Tailai also remembered that he had heard last month that the chief of the Jianzhou Jurchens, the deputy governor, the Dragon and Tiger General, and Nurhaci, the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty from another time and space, were going to pay tribute to the capital.

The man in front of me, who is strong and wears the military robe of a Ming Dynasty military officer but has a small braid at the back of his head, must be Nurhaci.

At this moment, Nurhaci heard some movement behind him and looked back.

Seeing that it was a giant man wearing a soldier's red fat jacket, much taller and stronger than himself, he didn't pay much attention to it.

I heard that the Ming court's Jinyiwei had many tall and mighty-looking officers and soldiers, who were called Dahan generals. They were specially used to stand guard at ceremonial occasions for a spectacular appearance.

It was probably just a showpiece, no need to take it seriously, Nurhaci made his judgment and looked away.

But this soldier didn't know what was good for him. He kept coming closer and even circled around him, looking at him as if he was observing some rare animal.

Nurhaci thought that it was better to be patient when in a foreign country and avoid trouble rather than more. But then he saw the soldier going back behind him.

Suddenly he felt his scalp tighten at the back of his head. It was obvious that someone had grabbed his braid and was pulling it hard!
Nurhaci was so angry that his face turned red when he faced this humiliation. He turned around and broke free, and said a few words in a straight language.

Lin Tailai, who had not yet had time to change into the robes of a fifth-rank official, looked down at him, slapped off the man's official hat, and yelled:

"You idiot, you can speak Chinese. I heard you like reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Why are you pretending to be such a jerk?"

When Nurhaci's official hat fell to the ground, most of his bald head, as well as a small lock of hair and a small braid behind his head were completely exposed.

But the anger in Nurhaci's heart quickly subsided, because he realized that this giant soldier was no ordinary person!
First, the Ming Dynasty has always prided itself on being a country of etiquette and generally treated envoys with preferential treatment, but this man openly beat an envoy in the Ministry of Rites.

Second, this stranger actually knew that I loved to watch Romance of the Three Kingdoms and that my name was Wild Boar Skin! This was also very unusual!
So Nurhaci looked at the interpreter next to him and asked him to introduce himself.

The interpreter was also afraid that Nurhaci would fight back and cause a bigger problem, so he quickly said to Nurhaci: "This is Lin Tailai, the chief official of the Ministry of Guests and Guests, who won the first place in the imperial examination last year."

Hearing this identity, Nurhaci was stunned. Has the Ming Dynasty become so corrupt? How could such a person become the top scholar?

Lin Tailai was still thinking in his mind, why didn't the other party take action even though he had humiliated him so cruelly?

If the other party couldn't help but attack you, and you accidentally killed him when you fought back, that would be reasonable, right?
Seeing that Nurhaci was only staring at him, Lin Tailai shouted again: "What are you looking at?"

Nurhaci did not react much, but suddenly some figures rushed over from both sides.

Lin Tailai glanced at them and found that they were all angry Jurchen women, probably Nurhaci's entourage and guards.

The humiliated Nurhaci endured it, but these violent followers and guards couldn't stand it!

All right, Lin Tailai sighed and quickly put on the iron knuckles. Nurhaci himself didn't do it, but his followers could do it.

Once the melee broke out, it would be reasonable for Nurhaci to be accidentally dragged in and killed, right?
With this dark thought in mind, Lin Tailai allowed this group of angry Jurchens to rush over.

He waved his hand again, telling the servants not to come over and just stay outside to hold the line.

The main reason was that they were afraid that after Nurhaci was killed, the servants who were implicated would not be able to bear it.

There was no precedent in the Ming Dynasty for a minister killing envoys who came to Beijing without authorization, so Lin Tailai, a legal expert on fighting and killing, was not sure.

Inside the courtyard of the Ministry of Rites, there was an earthquake and the ground collapsed. Lin Tailai used his iron fist to beat up dozens of Jurchen men, causing the sky to darken and the sun and moon to disappear.

After a while, the ground was in a mess. More than a dozen Jurchens who were fighting with Lin Tailai were lying on the ground, seriously injured.

Lin Tailai quickly checked and tried to find Nurhaci and finish him off, but he did not find Nurhaci on the ground.
Just when I was wondering, I suddenly heard a messy sound of footsteps coming from the direction of the courtyard gate.

Lin Tailai looked up and saw Nurhaci leading the Minister of Rites Yu Shenxing rushing into the courtyard in a hurry.

"Lin Tailai! Stop it!" Minister Yu shouted in anger.

It seems that he is really angry and even calls people by their names.

Lin Tailai clenched his bloody iron fist and looked at Nurhaci in astonishment.

No wonder you disappeared, it turns out you sneaked away during the melee to call Minister Yu!

Is this still the brave, courageous, fearless, ruthless and strong-willed Emperor Taizu of the Qing Dynasty as described in Manchu historical records?

Can’t you afford to call your parents after a fight?

Yu Shangshu asked sternly: "You have brought shame upon the great Ming! Why did you deliberately humiliate the chieftain of the Jianzhou Jurchen tribe who came to pay tribute and beat up the envoys?"

Lin Tailai was helpless, pointing at Nurhaci and telling the truth: "I think this man has a rebellious mind." Yu Shenxing: "."

What a disgraceful thing! Have you watched too much Romance of the Three Kingdoms?

Nurhaci knelt down before Yu Shangshu and told him his grievances: "Shangshu Mafa! I am as loyal as Aha to the Ming Dynasty, but I have been slandered like this. I beg you to explain!"

Lin Tailai stared at Nurhaci who was almost kneeling down, and suddenly understood why the Qing Emperor Taizu could trick Li Chengliang into being so obsessed with his words!

Yu Shenxing obviously chose to believe Nurhaci. He pointed in the direction of the gate and ordered Lin Tailai: "You leave! Don't interfere in the affairs of the Jurchen envoys anymore!"

Lin Tailai left cursing and said that all the Qing history written by later generations was a lie.

Anyone who says that the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty was a strong-willed person throughout his life, and that "the Jurchens would never be slaves" since the founding of the country, and that the Qing Dynasty was like an equal rival to the Ming Dynasty, will be spitted in the face!
The founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty also called others "master" and also called himself "Aha slave"!
The news of the Ministry of Rites quickly spread to various government offices, and officials of all ranks expressed their admiration, saying that Lin Tailai was truly worthy of his name!

On his first day back in office, he ganged up on the Jurchen tribute delegation. This was truly like Lin Tailai.

It’s just that the method of soliciting bribes is a bit too crude, after all, he is too young.

Lin Tailai originally wanted to go to the Hanlin Academy to complete the procedures for reinstatement of the Hanlin official.

But after fighting with the Jurchen delegation, I felt a little tired, so I just went home to rest.

As soon as it got dark, Li Rusong, the son of Nurhaci's old master, slipped into the Lin Mansion.

After the greetings, Li Rusong said earnestly: "Brother Lin, if you are short of money, please tell me.

I wouldn't dare to say how much more there is, a few thousand taels can be easily paid out, so why should I make things difficult for those Jianzhou slave chieftains?

How many coins do they have? No matter how hard you try, you won’t get much out of them.”

What kind of wild guesses are these? Lin Tailai explained: "I'm not doing this for money!"

"I understand, I understand. You're not doing this for the money!" Li Rusong knew that Lin Tailai was a pushover. "They provoked you, so you should teach them a lesson. But next time, let me do it for you."

He also advised: "The boxes of ginseng given to you every year all come from them. They have also worked for you. Why do you want to fight and kill them?"

Lin Tailai was stunned. Did he actually receive benefits indirectly from the Jianzhou Jurchens?

As a Han Chinese, it turns out that I am not clean either.
In Huitong Hall, Nurhaci felt heartbroken as he looked at the dozen seriously injured soldiers.

Among them were the good brothers Eyidu, Fei Yingdong, He Heli, Anfeyanggu, and adopted son Huerhan who had gathered over the years.

I originally brought them with me to help them increase their knowledge and broaden their horizons, but I didn't expect that they would be caught in the Ministry of Rites.

An interpreter reminded him, "Tomorrow we have to go to Fengtian Gate for pilgrimage."

Now the envoys could not see the emperor and could only kneel down symbolically at the Fengtian Gate.

The next day, Nurhaci ordered all the envoys to go to the palace together, and even more than a dozen seriously injured people were carried there.

Chen Ju, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department, arrived at Fengtian Gate and announced the emperor's order: "Reward us with wine and food."

Seeing more than a dozen seriously injured people appear, Eunuch Chen understood that this was a silent protest and a silent complaint to the emperor.

When Eunuch Chen reported back, Emperor Wanli chuckled a few times and said with a determined look in his eyes:

"What do you mean by beating up the diplomatic envoys when they failed to extort bribes? This is because Lin Tailai was afraid of the celestial phenomena and deliberately defiled himself.

"I ordered him to be fined his salary so that he can concentrate on his work. Also, I told him not to attack the Jurchen envoys again, as this is too disgraceful for our dynasty!"

When Nurhaci heard the news, he remained silent.

After his grandfather and father were mistakenly killed by the Ming army, this was the second greatest hatred in his life.

Lin Tailai received the imperial edict and sighed to the sky.

I have worked so hard, but no one knows!
There is no way to take action this time. I can only wait until I go to North Korea to join in the fun and pass by Liaodong to find a way to solve the problem.
