Chapter 351 The Jin'an River in Fuzhou is a moat excavated during the Song Dynasty, this river meanders east to the sea, and the merchant ships in the Nanyang area sail directly to the Leyouqiao Wharf under Fuzhou City through this river, where they land and unload, clear customs and survey.

However, on this day, a large ship came from afar, sandwiched between many large and small merchant ships, and once it was inspected, there was neither a guard nor a combination, and the people of the city department immediately became vigilant, and wanted to detain the ship with the goods.

When the people of the city opened it, they saw that the contents of the national letter were written in Chinese characters in the colorful pattern on the top, to the effect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the princess Niangniang of the Ryukyu Yamahou Kingdom had come to the Central Plains on the orders of the king to make a pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven of China.

When the city saw that the identity of the other party was actually the prince and princess of another country, representing the dynasty of the country to pay tribute to the son of heaven of his country, he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly welcomed him into the post house, accepted the goods they brought to the emperor of Hajj, and after pulling out the list, he flew and reported to the Beijing Division, and at the same time arranged for the princes, princesses and concubines of the country behind the mountains and their servants to live.

As a small country in an exotic country, the tribute of the country behind the mountain is still relatively rich, including ten painted fabrics, a pair of agarwood screens in the South China Sea, five paintings, a pair of luodian five-clawed dragon lacquer bottles, and ten ingots of purple gold.

The prince of the mountain is called He Tianyang, and the princess is called Pingnu, and the two of them are dressed in a Tang style, but they have changed a lot, and they are very close to the Ming costumes. In addition, they also have more than ten male and female entourages, of which only one is an accompanying official, called Xun Xia, and the official is appointed as the official of the mountain behind the country, and the honor guard envoy.

According to the Ryukyu official system, the first-rank prince is a colorful crown, and the second-rank purple hat is a lord; The three products are from the beginning to the seventh grade, and they wear yellow hats to go to the court; Eight or nine rank officials and miscellaneous duties, always look at the red hat like a red hat; Only the petty officials wear green hats, and the common people do not have green hats. Therefore, the bearded and cute Cheng Zhilang Xunxia is a green robe and a yellow hat, except for him, the other officials are all wearing blue robes and green hats.

Eunuch? Of course not.

Xia Xun is a thank you man, not to mention whether it will be easier to be recognized if he shaves his beard, just let him play a father-in-law with a feminine voice, thank you is not happy.

On the way to Shuangyu, thank you for the moon, and the two of them completed the real first time on the waves of the sea. If you want to talk about Xia Xun, the two ladies, Peng Ziqi's first time was in the heavy snow, under the mountains and rivers; Xie Yufei's first time, but in the long wind and thousands of waves, a mountain and a water, a wind and a snow, it was really a good wind and snow, and a beautiful landscape.

The majesty of her own man, thank you is knowing, under her wonderful tongue, Xia Xun is vulnerable; But if you really want to saddle the horse, thank you but can't stand his galloping, her body is very sensitive, if you don't have the help of your tongue, you have to beg Ziqi to relieve the siege in the end, so that she can lie there soft and soft to catch her breath. She loves and fears her man's domineering, and when the two of them are newly married Yan'er, they are like glue, how can they let their men pretend to be eunuchs, it's hard to think about it.

After Jinling got the Fuzhou report, he was very happy.

Jinan was besieged for three months, Zhu Di took the initiative to withdraw out of strategic considerations, and the siege of Jinan was resolved, but it was praised as a great victory by the imperial court. A group of scholars and literati splashed ink, built heroes, praised achievements, and praised flowers.

In fact, it was just that the siege of Jinan was resolved, and when the other party took the initiative to withdraw its troops, it was unilaterally proclaimed as a great victory by the imperial court. According to their description, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court who had been guarding the city until the other side took the initiative to withdraw their troops were wise and martial, while the side that took the initiative to advance and retreat outside was embarrassed and anxious, suffered major setbacks, and lost countless men and horses.

This kind of propaganda did play a great role in winning the morale of the people for the imperial court, because after all, the common people knew too little news, and they could only listen to what the imperial court said. This time, the imperial court tasted the sweetness, and the report of the great victory began to continue to announce the world.

The imperial court recovered Yucheng, the imperial court recovered the plains, the imperial court recovered Dezhou, the imperial court recovered Cangzhou, and the imperial court recovered Hejian......

In short, where Zhu Di's soldiers and horses withdrew, they were recovered by the imperial court, don't you care if someone else gave up on their own initiative, what the newspaper said is that the imperial court recovered, recovered, naturally it is ......, right?

After the imperial court noticed the sweetness of mastering the mouthpiece, it deliberately strengthened the propaganda in this regard, and at this time, there were foreign envoys who came to make a pilgrimage.

In fact, the first foreign envoys to arrive were not Xia Xun's Xijia goods, but genuine envoys from other countries, who had just arrived in Hangzhou Bay and were also waiting to enter Beijing for the Hajj. They were envoys sent by the Japanese shogun, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

The Adachi clan occupied Kyoto before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, deposed Emperor Go-Daigo, and established the Shogunate in Muromachi, Kyoto. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the Ashikaga shogunate called the Ming Dynasty a tribute, but because the Ashikaga shogunate was ineffective in eliminating the Japanese invaders, and later there were Japanese ronins involved in Hu Weiyong's rebellion, which provoked Zhu Yuanzhang Longyan to be angry, and made many restrictions on Japan's tribute as punishment.

Now the news of the death of Emperor Hongwu Ashikaga Shogunate has just heard, as soon as he heard that the old man who was not very good at talking was dead, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was very happy, and quickly sent a messenger again, this time, it was not considered an open tribute, because they came this time only to inquire about the intentions of the imperial court, if the imperial court intended to accept, they officially sent envoys to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty again, in exchange for the opening and preferential treatment of tributary trade.

After all, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is now regarded as a big man in Japan who coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and he did not first explore the meaning of the Ming Dynasty, so he recklessly sent an envoy to call him a tribute, in case the Chinese emperor adhered to Zhu Yuanzhang's old man's edict and refused to accept it at all, and then drove them back, it would be a very shameful thing.

Zhu Yunwen had just heard that the Japanese envoy had landed in Hangzhou Bay, and he had asked for a meeting with a heavy gift, and then he received a report from the Fuzhou side that there was a mountain country in the Ryukyu Islands that had been admired for a long time, and now he had sent a prince and a prince and concubine to Beijing for a pilgrimage. This is the first time that he has had foreign envoys come to the Hajj since he became emperor, and there are two of them, especially the country behind the mountain, which not only sent the prince to such a grand specification, but also a foreign state that had not been known by the Ming Dynasty before, and now he has come to surrender, isn't this his Zhu Yunwen's martial arts to expand the territory?

Zhu Yunwen immediately issued an edict, ordering the Hangzhou and Fuzhou governments to immediately arrange for the envoys of the two countries to be transported into Beijing, and asked them to arrange their itinerary, and it is best to let the envoys of the two countries arrive in Beijing at the same time.

Therefore, the envoys of Japan and the envoys of the Shanhou Kingdom, under the arrangement of the Ming Dynasty, marched to Nanjing at the same time and arrived at the city of Nanjing at the same time.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In the eastern suburbs of Nanjing, a line of honor guards, three adults.

Shang Shu Ru Chang, the squire Meng Fusheng, and the imperial envoy Huang Zhen.

This is all the people who received the envoys of the two countries.

In fact, if the Japanese envoy came, there was no need for such a grand welcoming ceremony, they were stained with the light of "Yamango Country".

"Shanhou Kingdom" is the first time to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and the envoy who came to the Hajj is a prince, and Zhu Yunwen urgently needs to promote the national prestige, so the etiquette specifications are naturally unusually improved.

Before the envoys of the two countries arrived, Tanma reported that the two missions were still ten miles away from the Changting, and the escorts were pressing their pace, constantly adjusting their pace under the notice of the outposts who were constantly going back and forth to ensure that they arrived at the same time.

Ru Chang is not a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, he is Zhu Yunwen's temporary arrest of Zhuang Ding, and he was arrested and sent on a part-time basis. Because the imperial court was quelling the rebellion in the north a few days ago, it made a mess of erosion, so the time of the autumn expedition was also postponed for some time, and now the news of the "Jinan victory" came back, the court breathed a sigh of relief, and the scientific expedition officially began.

The three adults, all literati, talked to each other very well, and they sat under the long pavilion, waiting for the envoys of the two countries to arrive, while reciting poems and enjoying themselves.

The three of them were chatting, and suddenly a big yellow dog scurried past in the field in front of them, and Ru Chang suddenly had the idea of urging narrowness, so he pointed to the big dog that was running in the weeds, and his body was faintly thick, and he stroked his beard and smiled: "Look, two of you, is it a wolf or a dog?" ”

Meng Shilang turned his head to look at the grass, but the imperial envoy Huang Zhen on the side had already laughed heartily, he had already heard that Ru Shangshu was ridiculing Meng Fusheng with a homophonic tone: "Is it a wolf or a dog?" Is the squire a dog? ”

Meng Shilang heard Huang Zhen laughing, and he also understood, he was funny and angry, thought about it slightly, and then laughed and sneered: "The wolf's tail is hard, and the dog's tail is short, so ......, the lower officials think that looking at its tail, you can know: the drooping is a wolf, and the upper vertical is a dog!" ”

This is homophonic with Shangshu, and Huang Zhen was even more happy when he heard it, just clapping his hands and laughing.

"This old fellow, did you pick up the laughter?"

Ru Chang glared at Huang Zhen and said quietly: "Cough, it seems that you can also tell the difference in this way, wolves, they eat meat, while dogs are different, they eat meat when they meet meat, and they eat when they meet!" ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Meng Shilang also laughed and said in a huff: "Okay, what a royal envoy eats, hahaha......"

When Huang Zhen heard this, he was immediately embarrassed, but he turned his mind for a long time, and he couldn't think of any witty words to ridicule them, at this moment, he saw a team appear on each of the two forks in the road in front of him, Huang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, quickly stood up, and said seriously: "Cough, two adults, Japan, Shanhou, the envoys of the two countries have arrived!" ”
