Honglu Temple has been overcrowded recently.
As the New Year approaches, envoys from various countries arrive one after another, and there are more and more people in Honglu Temple.
The staff is also getting busier and busier.
The people in Tianfu City can also see many people from foreign countries.
Looking at the people, who were mostly black and thin, like monkeys, walking in Yingtianfu City.
His eyes were filled with shock and admiration.
A spontaneous sense of pride is filled with love.
These things that they have become accustomed to can actually attract such admiration from envoys from foreign countries?
Barbarians are barbarians!
It is far less abundant than our own Ming Dynasty.
Today, there are many people who bow to the Ming Dynasty.
Many foreign countries, such as Annan, Ryukyu, Goryeo, and Japan, all sent envoys.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor, took time out before Zhengdan to prepare to meet with these envoys in advance.
But alone, the envoys of the Japanese country were left behind...
“Those people from the Japanese country were only allowed to stay well in Honglu Temple.
During the official court meeting, let them and the envoys from other countries participate in the congratulations. ”
In the Wuying Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hu Weiyong, the prime minister, and gave instructions.
Hu Weiyong couldn’t help being stunned when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang’s words.
Obviously. I didn’t expect that Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang would say such words at this time.
“This... Your Majesty, the Japanese country also sent envoys here according to etiquette.
It seemed a little bad to receive envoys from other countries, but to be left alone with the Japanese country.
To favor one over the other, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public..."
Hu Weiyong considered his words, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said aloud.
At this time, Hu Weiyong looked the same as before. There is no difference.
He still seems to be doing his best and does not seem to be affected by the death of his son before.
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted when he heard this and said: "What's wrong?
We didn't arrest them all and chop them all, that's enough!
It's just a small country, still there Jumping up and down there!
We haven’t even done it to him yet!”
When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, seven were dissatisfied and eight were dissatisfied. Not angry.
With strong dissatisfaction.
Hu Weiyong couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this
But on the surface he said: "Your Majesty, things have been going on here for so long.
Moreover, later this Japanese country The other side also bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
This matter is related to the prestige of our Ming Dynasty.
How about... Your Majesty, would you please calm down the wrath of Thunder first? How about adding the Japanese country for now? "
Zhu Yuanzhang cursed when he heard this: "In the past? Have a good time!
We all remember it in our hearts!
Is it also about the majesty of the Ming Dynasty?
The envoy was beheaded before, is this dignity?
It is enough for us to allow them to send people to our Ming Dynasty to participate in the Ming Dynasty meeting.
Do you still want us to receive them the same way we receive envoys from other vassal states?
What are you thinking about?
If we don’t kill them both one by one, it will be enough to show the magnanimity of our great country!
There are no Japanese slaves in Goryeo, Annan and other places to invade our coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty.
That's it.
They have no part in it!
Just wait for the Zhengdan Dynasty Meeting with peace of mind! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang was too lazy to say more on this matter.
He just decided on the matter directly.
When he replaced the Yuan Dynasty and sent people to the surrounding areas to announce the status of the suzerainty.
He still remembers the fact that the Japanese envoy was killed.
This is a thorn in his heart.
At that time, he wanted to capture the enemy, so he crossed the sea and sent troops to overthrow the Japanese country.
It’s just that in the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan suffered a series of disastrous defeats in the Japanese conquests.
In addition, the Japanese country is really far away from Daming, separated by mountains and sea.
Conquest is inconvenient.
The Ming Dynasty has just established its country, and there are many things that need to be solved. It is not worthwhile to put so much energy there.
So I endured it without having an attack.
According to the original history, as he was in power longer, many of his thoughts would change.
You will feel that the surrounding barbarians are too far away and too barren, and it is not cost-effective to conquer them.
If we really fight like this, it will easily plunge Daming into a quagmire.
So according to the original history, he later directly created the country without conquest.
Many of the surrounding small and remote countries were listed as countries not subject to conquest.
Lest future generations drag Ming Dynasty into the quagmire.
But now, with the emergence of Mei Yin, and Zhu Yuanzhang got the simulator again.
Many ideas have changed.
He no longer felt that Japan was too far away to be punished.
I don’t think overseas is too barren either.
It was previously discovered that in the middle and early Yuan Dynasty, the huge amount of money that Ling was jealous of was earned from overseas every year, which is already a particularly good proof.
In addition, his good son-in-law Mei Yin had told him before that there was a lot of gold and silver in the Japanese country, and he was even more excited about it.
Under such circumstances, the Japanese country would naturally not be able to let it go easily.
Wait for another two years, as the capital in hand becomes more and more.
The power is getting stronger and stronger.
He sent soldiers here to ask him about the envoy of the Ming Dynasty who was beheaded back then.
Of course, besides these considerations, there is another reason for his tough attitude.
That is, I want to continue to add fire to this matter.
Let Hu Weiyong rebel quickly.
Hu Weiyong thought he didn’t know his little thoughts?
In fact, I already knew it!
After hearing what the emperor said, Hu Weiyong stopped talking about this matter.
He still looks a little worried.
It seems that I am afraid that doing so is a little against the rules.
But in fact, I was already happy in my heart.
In the past, it was not uncommon for the emperor to summon envoys from various countries in advance before Zhengdan.
This time, he was the one who took the initiative to bring it up and promote it.
What I want is that there will be some mistakes in this matter.
In this case, he can take the opportunity to do something here.
We can use the power of Japan to do this.
Better kill Zhu Yuanzhang!
Here, he had corresponding exchanges with the Japanese country a long time ago.
But he felt that he wanted to let the Japanese side do their best to help him assassinate Zhu Yuanzhang.
After all, this matter is still a bit off.
But now, with this added fire, it is enough for the Japanese country to bow to him in the future.
There will definitely be no hesitation in the next step.
Will completely fall to his side!
At that time, these people will be able to use them for themselves!
There is a lot of help from Japan!
According to Hu Weiyong's understanding of the Japanese country, the people there generally do not have much fighting power.
This is mainly due to the barbarism over there, the country is small and the people are few, and the poverty is too barren.
Many soldiers are actually no different from the common people.
It’s all day long work.
Only when you encounter a strong enemy or in some kind of battle, you will take up arms.
The key is that there are no decent weapons, most of them are hoes and other things.
There is no way to compare with the soldiers and horses of Ming Dynasty.
There were a lot of big battles over there, but how can I put it... In fact, there were a lot of them, and they were no different from village fights.
But there are exceptions, and there are some exceptions, such as samurai.
The samurai are completely different from the ashigaru from Japan.
These people have been specially trained accordingly and have soldiers and armor.
Some can even be equipped with war horses. They don't have to work in the fields, they just need to undergo rigorous training.
When it comes time to fight, these so-called warriors are not just warriors, they are also middle- and low-level officers.
Take their respective ashigaru to fight.
Hu Weiyong felt that relying on his relationship with the Japanese country and what Zhu Yuanzhang had done this time.
Next, I will make things more serious here.
It wouldn't be a problem to promise some more benefits and get more warriors from Japan to come to help me.
Originally, he did not have enough confidence in this, but now, the dust has settled.
In this matter, Zhu Yuanzhang has given a clear answer, that is, he must suppress the Japanese country.
In this case, things will be fine for him!
This is indeed God’s success!
Immediately, he stopped talking about this matter and started telling Zhu Yuanzhang about other things.
Zhu Yuanzhang also gave corresponding solutions.
......
"Baga!!"
Honglu Temple, where the Japanese envoys live.
There were Japanese people who couldn't help but cursed here.
Looking particularly aggrieved.
The same is true for the rest of the Japanese.
However, no matter how angry you are, there is no other way.
This is also the Ming Dynasty, not their Japanese country.
Especially when I later received news that even Hu Weiyong, the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, personally told Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor, about this matter and interceded on their behalf.
But Zhu Yuanzhang was still unwilling to meet them.
These people became more and more restless.
I said something in a jittery voice there.
Although most of them can't understand it at all, you can tell from their demeanor and tone that this is definitely not a good thing...
...
Two days later, everyone at Honglu Temple was already busy.
Many envoys from foreign countries began to get busy here under the guidance of people from Honglu Temple.
Then, under the guidance of the officials of Honglu Temple, they walked towards the imperial city in a very orderly manner according to their respective etiquette.
He is going to meet the emperor of Ming Dynasty.
Only the Japanese envoys were left behind.
Although this result has been known for a long time, now, this kind of thing has really happened.
It is still extremely exciting!
This made many Japanese people become more and more dissatisfied and resentful.
Everyone was gnashing their teeth secretly, feeling extremely aggrieved.
I just feel that the emperor of Ming Dynasty is really too arrogant!
It’s really shameless!
How could you be so contemptuous and insulting to them!
They are also very powerful!
Before, even the Yuan Dynasty was defeated by them twice!
Now, this mere Ming Dynasty dares to be so disrespectful and arrogant!
Damn it!
Thinking like this, for a moment, the dissatisfaction in my heart reached its peak!
But some people are worried that Ming Dynasty will make things difficult for them in the future...
……
In this way, after a few more days, the Zhengdan Dynasty will arrive.
This is the beginning of the year and the largest court meeting.
So it looks extra grand and grand.
Every distinguished person, civil and military officials are on the list.
There are also envoys from various countries.
There was a long queue in front of Fengtianmen Square.
Many of the emperor's ceremonial guards were also lined up.
Appears grand and solemn.
It shows the atmosphere of a great country.
Even Mei Yin, the consort who stays in Shuangshui Village all year round, fishes and feeds pigs, and does not interfere with the affairs of the court, participated this time.
Not to mention, look at the hundreds of flags of various colors flying in the wind, protected by the guards.
There are also many ceremonial guards that belong exclusively to the emperor, which makes me feel a lot of emotion.
It really looks like that.
It’s so lively!
Looking at it, Mei Yin nodded secretly, feeling that she had learned a lot.
He looked at it purely with appreciation.
According to his previous understanding, before this, the Zhengdan Dynasty Meeting would be even more lively.
Because in addition to these, many fellow folks from Fengyang will also come here to congratulate the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang on the New Year.
Not only will they celebrate the New Year, but the Fengyang Flower Drum Team will also perform and sing Fengyang Flower Drums for the emperor at the back.
Sing flower drum lyrics.
However, since the eighth year of Hongwu, this item has become the swan song.
Moreover, if we really talk about it, the reason for this incident lies with Mei Yin.
It was Mei Yin who stabbed him hard on the issue of Zhongdu City.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's subsequent investigation, he not only discovered that Li Shanchang and many other people had deceived the superiors and concealed the affairs of Zhongdu City, and committed evil acts.
He, the emperor, was kept in the dark.
Harm the people.
And those Fengyang folks who he valued very much in the past have all become Li Shanchang and many other Huaixi nobles.
Help them hide their property and conceal their crimes.
He still helped them say good things in front of himself, the emperor.
Treat yourself like a fool.
From that time on, Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor, became angry with shame.
Let them never have to go to Beijing to see each other again.
And their tax exemptions, exemption from corvee and other preferential treatment have also been cancelled.
Let them be no different from ordinary people.
After the tedious etiquette was over, it was almost noon.
Mei Yin went to eat some food with others.
I took the opportunity to meet Queen Ma again and wish her New Year's greetings.
Then, prepare to run away.
Go back to Shuangshui Village and don’t get involved in the following things here.
I feel that these things are too cumbersome.
He was already a little impatient.
But, unfortunately.
Lao Zhu has a dinner party to hold next.
The dinner on the first night was mainly used to entertain the old subordinates and nobles.
In the past, Mei Yin did not participate.
But the difference now is that he has the title of Shuang Shui Earl.
It is also necessary to participate.
Therefore, although somewhat reluctantly, Mei Yin also participated in Zhu Yuanzhang's Zhengdan dinner.
And prepare to gain some knowledge...
