Chapter 279: Unreasonable Demands
The Fengtian Hall had begun to prepare for the banquet last night, and by the time Xie arrived, many people had already taken their seats according to the established positions.
Xie Zhi had just sat down when he found his place when someone came over to greet him with a smile, "Yunzhong Hou is rare." ”
Xie Zhi has offended a lot of people now, even if someone greeted him, he didn't have the slightest arrogance, and responded one by one with a smile.
With the greeting of the first person, there will be people who will come again to make a familiar face.
No matter who came to greet him, or the official position of the person who came, Xie Zhi would respond with a smile one by one.
Naturally, Xie Zhi also knew very well that those important ministers above the courtiers would not chase after him to talk to him, and these people who came to greet him were insignificant little people, and speaking above the court had no weight at all.
But Xie Zhi doesn't dislike it, as long as someone can support him, it doesn't matter how much strength he has, he welcomes it.
Compared with the bustle of Xie Zhi's place, Xie Qian's place is deserted.
Liu Jian, who was sitting next to Xie Qian, would inevitably make a few jokes and said, "Gong Xie, your kid is lively enough." ”
Xie Qian looked in Xie Zhi's direction, snorted in his mouth and did not respond.
Xie Qian didn't have much disgust with what Xie Zhi did, but in front of outsiders, Xie Qian had a disapproving attitude towards Xie Zhi.
As far as Xie Zhi did a lot of things that were to offend people, if Xie Qian was still kind to Xie Zhi, a father and son who were of the same heart, the hostility of those who were offended by Xie Zhi would be transferred to the Xie family as a whole.
As the head of the family, Xie Qian must consider the consequences of this matter.
Li Dongyang smiled on the side and said: "Yoshino Rongyi was able to personally submit the credentials of the state, it was all thanks to Xie Zhi, and the problem of the Japanese Kingdom could not be permanently solved by the two dynasties of Taizu and Taizong, which is a great achievement, so there will be many people who stammer, the Xie family can have this child, and Xie Gong should also be proud." ”
In response to Li Dongyang's words, Xie Qian pulled a helpless wry smile and did not speak.
The courtiers arrived one after another, and after a while, Zhu Houzhao appeared in the Fengtian Hall with Emperor Hongzhi.
When Emperor Hongzhi's father and son came in, Xiao Jing shouted at the top of his voice, "Your Majesty has arrived." ”
As Xiao Jing's words fell, a group of courtiers stood up one after another to salute.
After the salute, Emperor Hongzhi and Zhu Houzhao had already walked under the dragon chair.
Before walking to the dragon chair, Emperor Hongzhi did not sit down, but raised his hand and said, "Flat, sit down." ”
After the ministers got up and sat down, Emperor Hongzhi said in a glorious manner: "Today, the Emperor of the Japanese Kingdom personally submits his credentials, and is willing to pay tribute to my Ming Dynasty, so that he can permanently solve the problem of the Japanese invaders in the coastal area, which is a fortunate thing for the people of my Ming Dynasty, and will forever be recorded in the annals of history. ”
After finishing speaking, Emperor Hongzhi said again: "Xuanyoshino Eiichi enters the hall." ”
Emperor Hongzhi spoke, and Xiao Jing shouted closely, saying, "The envoys of the Xuanwei Kingdom enter the palace." ”
Yoshino Eiichi promised to pay tribute to Xie Zhi not only verbally, but also with Honglu Temple and officials of the Ministry of Rites.
Since it is officially decided to be called a minister, there is nothing wrong with using an envoy on top of the title.
As Xiao Jing spoke, the Han general followed one person to spread the will of Emperor Hongzhi outside the noon gate.
After a while, I finally saw Yoshino Rong wearing a Japanese dress and holding a national letter into the Fengtian Temple.
Yoshino Eiichi entered the Mukden Temple, but Emperor Hongji did not say anything, waiting for Yoshino Eiichi to give a salute first.
Xie Zhiben thought that this Yoshino Eiichi only needed to be able to bow and salute.
But it didn't come to fruition, and Yoshino Eichi knelt down as soon as he entered the Fengtian Temple.
Such a big gift was full of surprise, and when the courtiers were noisy in a low voice, Yoshino Eiichi had already completed the big gift of three kneels and nine bows in one go.
Emperor Hongzhi's radiant face changed to seriousness, and he said: "Although it is a tribute, there is no need to make such a heavy salute." ”
This Yoshino Eiichi is definitely not a straw bag from any point of view, neither is a straw bag but can endure humiliation and burden, and he is willing to make such a big gift, then he is in Taoguang.
Such a person is very dangerous and can bite you at any time.
Emperor Hongzhi was polite, but Yoshino Eiichi was quite serious, and said: "It is sincere to call the minister Nagong, and the gift that should be done will naturally be done, Yoshino Eiichi handed over the letter of state, and asked His Majesty Daming for approval." ”
As soon as Yoshino Eiichi exited, without the orders of Emperor Hongji, Xiao Jing walked to his side and took the letter of state from Yoshino Eiichi.
Xiao Jing unfolded the national letter and held it in front of Emperor Hongzhi.
After Emperor Hongzhi took a few serious looks, Xiao Jing took the national letter and put it in front of Zhu Houzhao.
After Zhu Hou took a look, Emperor Hongzhi said: "I said that I want all the secretaries to witness this moment with me, and take this national book and look at it together with the secretaries." ”
Since Emperor Hongzhi had orders, Xiao Jing had no choice but to hold the national letter in his hand, and he circulated in front of the ministers step by step.
After a long time, the ministers sitting in front of the Fengtian Hall finally took a look.
"Since everyone has seen it, let's stamp it."
After Emperor Hongzhi agreed, Xiao Jing took out the jade seal and covered it.
As soon as the jade seal is covered, the main purpose of this banquet has been achieved.
After Yoshino Rong thanked him, he spoke again: "After many years of war in the Japanese Kingdom, the people have been very educated, and the people admire the culture of the Ming Dynasty. ”
This request is not something that cannot be agreed, and Emperor Hongzhi did not ask for the opinions of his ministers again, and directly agreed: "There is no problem, and 300 Confucian scholars will be selected to enter the Wa Kingdom for one year." ”
Emperor Hongzhi spoke, and the matter was settled.
Emperor Hongzhi had just agreed, and Yoshino Eiichi immediately said: "Your Majesty, the courtiers admire the culture of the Ming Dynasty, I wonder if they can accept him to study in the country for a few years?" ”
It is not that the children of foreign countries are not accepted in the Guozi Prison, on the contrary, there are not many such people in the Guozi Prison.
But Yoshino Eichi did this, not just to learn the Ming culture.
If you really just admire the culture of the Ming Dynasty, then you can learn from the Confucian students sent by the Ming Dynasty.
Since the Ming Dynasty wants to send Confucian students, it will definitely be the best, and it will be the same if you study with these Confucian students.
Yoshino Eiichi is in such a situation, but he still has to send his son over, but it has to make people think about it more.
This can be either a proton, or it may be sent to learn the advanced techniques of the Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Hongzhi did not express his position immediately, and the ministers also whispered in private.
Yoshino Eiichi was not in a hurry, and said indifferently and slowly: "The eldest son, the third son, the fourth son, and the fifth son all died in the battlefield, leaving only the second son and the still young sixth son, the second son is the minister and the country, but the sixth son is not like his other brothers like swords, but is obsessed with reading, and stays in the study all day, the minister has lost his beloved son several times, and the young six sons have a little more licking feelings, he likes to read, and the minister will create the best conditions for him, which is also some of the minister's licking calves, and I hope Your Majesty can agree!" ”
What Yoshino Eiichi said was sincere, and at the end of the day, a few tears fell out.
After a while, Emperor Hongzhi finally spoke: "Your Excellency's love for licking calves is understandable, even so, then send it, there are many children of the country." ”
Emperor Hongji agreed, and Yoshino Eiichi was even more grateful.
Yoshino Eiichi made two requests, and Daming had already answered, but Daming had nothing to do with Yoshino Eiichi.
Soon, Xie Zhi spoke: "Your Excellency has submitted your credentials, then you should do your duty as a courtier, and ensure that there will never be another widow along the coast of Daming, the past has passed, and the widows who have harassed my Ming people have paid the price they deserve, but if there are any more widows who invade my Ming people, you should give an explanation to Daming on top of this matter." ”
Don't think that a minister can ask for things from Daming without restrictions, and the responsibility should still be borne by him.
Eiichi Yoshino is quite capable, and he can climb up with a pole.
Xie Zhi's voice fell, and he immediately said: "You can send out patrol guards to patrol the Daming coast day and night to ensure the safety of the Daming sea area." ”
Xie Zhi cast a big roll of his eyes, and said angrily: "My Ming has strong troops, well-armed, my own realm can be protected by myself, anyone who appears in my Ming realm without consent, I have the ability to let them come and go, just out of kindness to remind Your Excellency, don't let this happen, so as not to hurt the peace between the two of us." ”
