However, Chen Wen, as a small Honglu Temple Chief, couldn't decide when he needed to transport the sea whale bones.

Logically speaking, moving it off the boat earlier can avoid being in a hurry when something happens in the future.

However, Chen Wen was unwilling to do so.

After moving it off the boat, the responsibility for preserving the sea whale bones is their Honglu Temple. If there is any damage, it will be unclear at that time. It is better to put it on the boat. Even if there is a problem, it will be there before the tribute.

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

The low temperature reduces the risk of Honglu Temple, which naturally increases the risk of Chen Zheng and others. So I was a little disgusted and offered to take them around Honglu Temple.

The Honglu Temple is not just an institution with a courtyard. It covers a vast area, including a temple minister, a Shaoqing, a temple minister, a chief clerk, a recorder, and a total of nearly 200 institutions.

Chen Wen was still there talking big, but Chen Zheng was speechless. The nearly two hundred-person organization unit actually sent Chen Wen to greet them. Even if they were the tribute team in Dongyang County, it was insignificant, but this was too little.

After being an official in Beijing for a long time, he had extraordinary ability to observe his expression and expression. He could see that Chen Zheng's expression was not right at once.

After recalling what he said just now, Chen Wen immediately discovered the problem, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Although we have many people here, we have their own division of labor, so we really can't free up staff." Chen Wen explained.

Chen Zheng was not very happy, and he didn't have much concept of esteeming or inferiority, so he stopped and asked, "Mr. Shen, we had a rather speculative conversation before. Tell us the truth, was it because someone in Beijing targeted us and deliberately neglected it?"

Chen Wen rubbed the crutch that Chen Zheng gave him in his hand, looking a little reluctant to speak.

"Mr. Shen, don't worry, there are all reliable people here. Words come out of your mouth and stop our ears, and no one else will know about it." Chen Zheng continued.

After hesitating for a while, Chen Wen seemed to have made up his mind to take several leaders into a pavilion and sit down, and then asked back: "Do you know which of the six divisions of the Honglu Temple belongs to?"

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

Chen Wen nodded and continued to ask, "Do you know who is the Minister of Rites today?"

Li Shuang didn't know about this. After thinking for a while, the Chief Fan Bo replied with some uncertainty: "This Minister of Rites also seems to have the surname Chen, and his name is Chen Dongcheng. I remember that Lord Feng of the Prefecture mentioned him."

"Yes, it's Chen Dongcheng." Chen Wen said affirmatively.

Chen Zheng frowned and asked, "Mr. Shen, does this Minister of Rites have anything to do with us? We first came to Kyoto, and it seems that we have never offended him!"

Chen Wen chuckled and said, "You have never offended him, but Dongyang County Magistrate Li Gang offended him."

"What? My father offended the Minister of Rites!" Li Shuang was very surprised, "He did not come to Kyoto again, how did he offend the Minister of Rites?"

"Do you know the sea ban?" Chen Wen asked again.

Sea ban? It turns out that this is the reason.

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

At the beginning, in order to provide relief to the victims, Chen Zheng County Magistrate Li Gang built a ship to sea to catch fish. After the disaster, he was impeached by Chen Xicheng, the former governor of Hongjiang Prefecture, because of this sea ban.

This incident was a lot of trouble at the beginning. I heard that there was a big quarrel in the court, but in the end, Chen Xicheng, who proposed the impeachment, was moved to Qianyang Prefecture, and then there was nothing else.

I thought this matter was over, but I didn't expect that there would be a follow-up now.

"Does Chen Dongcheng, the Minister of Rites, support the ban on the sea?" Chen Zheng asked.

Chen Wen nodded and said, "It's not just Chen Dongcheng, Minister of Rites, but Yu Youguang, Minister of Revenue, and Secretary of Revenue, Xu Yiyang."

When Chen Zheng heard this, he was shocked. Even the Shangshu Ling supported the ban on sea orders. This shows how much pressure was faced by Li Gang, the magistrate of Dongyang County and Feng Xueyong, the magistrate of Hongjiang Prefecture.

"Is no one supported the abolition of the sea ban?" Chen Zheng asked. There would be no one left.

"There is one." Chen Wen said, "Tang Yi, the Minister of War, firmly advocated the abolition of the sea ban. He believed that the current sea bandits are serious and cannot be left alone. It is necessary to strengthen maritime defense, which is the best strategy for governing the country."

Chen Zheng nodded. This Minister of War has some foresight.

However, Chen Zheng immediately thought that Tang Yi could not confront three people alone, not to mention that one of the three people was Shangshuling.

Why is this? The result of the incident was that Chen Xicheng, who advocated the ban on the sea, was moved to the left. From this point of view, the party who advocated the abolition of the ban on the sea won.

A minister of War would definitely not have such great ability to compete with the three people. Tang Yi would definitely have someone to support him, and this person's rights were greater than that of the Secretary of the Republic.

There was only one result. Not only the Ministry of War advocated the abolition of the sea ban, but also the Emperor Daliang who was high above and sat on the dragon throne - Xiao Ding!

After understanding this, Chen Zheng felt much more relaxed.

It seems that this tribute trip will not be that simple, and there will inevitably be a lot of resistance. However, now that Chen Zhengkai is in trouble, everything is a cloud.

Since Emperor Xiao Ding advocated the abolition of the sea ban, it would be impossible for them to suffer losses. If they suffered losses, the sea ban would be impossible to abolish it. Then the subsequent political orders would not be implemented, which would further affect the national policy of the Daliang Kingdom.

Chen Wen saw that the few people were silent and said, "Since Honglu Temple is affiliated with the Ministry of Rites, it has been said hello and should not be too enthusiastic to you. It was a coincidence that the Song State sent a delegation to envoy, so the temple minister drew most of the people and sent only the official to contact you."

"So since that's the case, why is Lord Shen still so enthusiastic about us?" Chen Zheng smiled. He was in a relaxed mood now and started to joke again.

Chen Wen snorted and said, "A real man is in a good position and stands upright. My job is to entertain the envoys. Whether it is a foreign envoy or a county tribute, it is ordinary. How can I share it with you?"

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

Chen Wen was stunned and said, "I don't have any opinions on the ban on seas? I can't help but have nothing to do with me, so I won't worry about this."
