No. 278 Presentation of Credentials

Xie Zhi's busy feet did not touch the ground, and after being taken to visit the Beijing Division for two days, Yoshino Eiichi had a new request.

The little official of Honglu Temple reported that he wanted to visit Yun Zhongwei, and said that if Yun Zhongwei was inconvenient, it was okay to visit the Shenji Camp directly, saying that when he was shopping, he heard that the Shenji Camp and Yun Zhongwei had a competition a few days ago, and the Shenji Camp was not inferior to Yun Zhongwei in any way.

After listening to the report of the little official, Xie Zhi sneered and said: "The face is big enough, and it is inconvenient for Yun Zhongwei to visit the Shenji Camp directly, why don't you go to the weapons station to visit it?" The Shenji Camp is my Ming Dynasty's Beijing Camp, so whoever wants to visit can visit? ”

"What did you say?" Xie Zhi asked.

The little official replied: "He can't reply to him in Xia, he said that he wants to talk to Yunzhonghou in Xia, and said that Yunzhonghou and Shanshan will definitely agree." ”

Didn't this Eiichi Yoshino take him for a fool? Thought that if you compliment him a few words, he will be able to agree to anything?

Xie Zhi scolded angrily: "A certain promise is a fart, and in the future, you will directly refuse such a request from Yoshino Eiichi." ”

After the little official responded, he said: "Yunzhonghou, in fact, Yoshino Eiichi is really going to visit the weapons station in the next summary, the villain said that it is the most confidential place in the Ming Dynasty, and ordinary people will be killed directly if they get close, and then he proposed to visit Yunzhongwei and Shenji Camp." ”

This Yoshino Eichi really wants to be beautiful, don't you think that being a minister can get a piece of the unique advanced firearms of the Ming Dynasty, right?

Xie Zhi put away the sneer on his face, his face was cold, and said: "Continue to take them shopping tomorrow, don't talk to them if you only go shopping, and hang them for a few more days." ”

Xie Zhi was originally going to let the little official take Yoshino Rong and his party to go shopping for a maximum of three days, and then invited Emperor Hongzhi to set up a banquet to meet them.

Since Yoshino Eiichi is so curious about Daming's things, let's take a look at Daming and talk about it.

For the next four or five days, Yoshino Eiichi was led by the officials of Hongroji Temple to wander around the streets and alleys of Kyoshi.

In the beginning, Yoshino Eikazu and his party were curious about everything in Kyoshi, and they never got bored when they went out every day.

After a long time, boredom will come naturally.

Seeing that the sky was getting colder and colder, and the ice was about to be frozen, Emperor Hongji still didn't mean to see them, and Yoshino Eiichi began to feel a little anxious in his heart.

Not only Yoshino Eiichi was in a hurry, but also Emperor Hongji was starting to be anxious.

Xie Zhi, as the envoy who received Yoshino Eiichi's visit, did not hear from him for a long time, so Emperor Hongzhi had no choice but to take the initiative to summon Xie Zhi.

Xie Zhi, who was busy in the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Five Armies, had to hurriedly enter the palace after Emperor Hongzhi's announcement arrived.

In the warm pavilion, Zhu Houzhao was already there, Xie Zhi had just appeared, and Emperor Hongzhi took the initiative to ask: "When are you going to solve the matter of Yoshino Eiichi, have you only seen him in the past few days?" ”

On top of this question, Xie Zhi didn't need to be sloppy at all, and replied bluntly: "Yes, the minister only met him with His Royal Highness, it's not that the minister doesn't want to see him, it's just that Yoshino Eiichi is not a simple person, he needs to rely on the Ming Dynasty now, and he must have to get off the horse, in fact, the minister originally thought that let the people of Honglu Temple take them to Beijing for a few days, and then set up a banquet by the imperial court, and the two sides submitted their credentials, and they can go back when they want to go back there."

But Yoshino Eiichi's ambition is not small, and he actually proposed with Honglu Temple to visit the armory, visit Yunzhongwei, visit the Shenji Camp, as long as these three places enter one of the advanced firearms that I rely on now the Ming Dynasty will be leaked, and the minister dares to guarantee that as long as Yoshino Eiichi is promised to visit a place, he will propose to discuss advanced firearms with Daming.

There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests, once the Great Yoshino Eiichi gets advanced firearms from the Ming Dynasty, he will inevitably use the strength of the whole country to figure out these firearms, and then develop a surpassing Ming Dynasty. ”

Emperor Hongzhi is calm, and there is no conceit, and he also understands that the Ming Dynasty is now stronger than the Wa State, and the Wa State will talk about the minister's tribute, and once the Wa State is stronger than the Ming Dynasty in the future, it is not only the coastal areas that will be disturbed.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't say much, and Zhu Houzhao echoed: "This palace has long seen that Yoshino Eiichi is not a good person, and such a shameless request can be made, according to the palace, you don't have to see him, Xie Wu, you don't have to go again, he has to submit his credentials, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites sent him away." ”

Zhu Hou said this, but Emperor Hongzhi did not respond, and asked Xie Zhi instead: "What do you think?" ”

Since Emperor Hongzhi wants to ask, then Xie Zhi has to say something.

Xie Zhi replied: "The minister thinks that His Majesty should still meet, there should be etiquette, and the dismount is just to leave him fearful, not to let him jump off the wall in a hurry, the Ming Dynasty is now stronger than the Wa Kingdom, but it is far from enough, Yoshino Eiichi needs to be taoguang to raise obscurity, and I Daming also needs to accumulate strength." ”

Xie Zhi's suggestion was obviously more thoughtful than Zhu Houzhao's.

Emperor Hongzhi reprimanded Zhu Houzhao in front of Xie Zhi, and said, "This method is more appropriate, prince, Xie Zhi has been by your side for a long time, and you should also learn from Xie Zhi's calmness, and think more about it." ”

Zhu Houzhao's performance during this period of time, Emperor Hongzhi has always been quite satisfied, Zhu Houzhao has not heard Emperor Hongzhi's reprimand for a long time, and he thought that he had gotten rid of the shadow of being reprimanded.

Today, I just complained a few words, and then I was reprimanded again, with a look of grievance, and I didn't open my mouth, but I didn't expect that Emperor Hongzhi was reprimanded again, and the spearhead turned to Xie Zhi.

"Xie Zhi, no matter what position you are in, you will always be the prince's companion, when the prince is not thoughtful, you should mention it, if the prince makes a mistake, you have been educated by the prince today, can you understand?"

Xie Zhi also understands Emperor Hongzhi's thoughts, no matter how Emperor Hongzhi promotes him now, it is all for Zhu Houzhao to cultivate a team.

Even if Xie Zhi had any grievances in his heart, he could only answer and said, "The minister understands." ”

Xie Zhi was reprimanded with himself, and Zhu Houzhao's original grievances disappeared without a trace in an instant, showing a smug smile towards Xie Zhi.

Zhu Houzhao saw all the actions of Emperor Hongzhi in his eyes, but he didn't say much, but just said: "In three days, I will see that Yoshino Eiichi, and the preparations will be handled by the Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites, and after the credentials are submitted, let him go back." ”

Emperor Hongzhi directly set the time, and there was no need to say more.

After Emperor Hongzhi set the time, it was soon accepted by officials of the Ministry of Rites, and Xie Zhi began to contact Yoshino Eiichi.

Previously, Xie Zhi's contact with Yoshino Eiichi, although it was instructed by Emperor Hongzhi, also lacked an official nature.

With the Ministry of Rites taking over, there is no need to worry too much about the matter of Yoshino Eiichi, just wait until three days later, under the witness of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, prepare a banquet for him, and then exchange letters between the two sides.

Since Yoshino Eiichi was going to submit his credentials in the form of a minister, some etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, Yoshino Eiichi still had to learn.

When it was time to officially submit it, it was certain to submit it as a courtier's gift.

For three days, Eiichi Yoshino had been learning these red tapes.

On the scheduled day of the official presentation of credentials, even the ministers will go to the banquet in ceremonial dresses.

Early in the morning, Xie Qian and Xie Zhi, father and son, went out in dresses.

Walking to the gate, the father and son met, Xie Zhi smiled and shouted, "Dad, morning." ”

It's a pity that he didn't wait for Xie Qian's response, Xie Qian snorted coldly and got directly into the sedan chair.

His father is really good, he has done a lot of great things these days, not to mention praising him, so he can say a few words to him with a pleasant face.

Xie Qian didn't want to say more, and Xie Zhi couldn't catch up, so he had to keep talking, right?

After Xie Qian got into the sedan chair and left, Xie Zhi also turned over on his big brown horse.

Because the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Five Armies is not only far from home, but also not close to the palace, Xie Zhi now chooses to ride a horse wherever he goes.

If you are used to riding a horse, you will feel that riding a horse is much more comfortable than riding a sedan chair.
