Chapter 352: Something Strange Must Be Happening in This Matter!
Speaking of which, Zheng Zhilong was already a little impatient.
Let your son enter Beijing, no matter how you look at it now, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, and it can even be said that there is no harm.
But the problem is that I always feel that something is wrong in my heart - why do you think this emperor is so concerned about his son?
Since the emperor's request could not be refused, Zheng Zhilong turned his head and hated Tokugawa Hidetada.
If it weren't for the fact that he left his youngest son on that broken island in Japan, he would have two sons in his hands now.
Even if the eldest son was given by Emperor Chongzhen, there is still a younger son, isn't it?
Zheng Zhilong, who was secretly scolding in his heart, felt that sooner or later he still had to clean up these dwarfs.
And Tokugawa Hidetada's eldest son, Tokugawa Iemitsu, was also wandering around Ningbo City at this time - this city is not smaller than Kyoto, it is nothing in Daming, and a city that is even more prosperous than this is a big handful.
Tokugawa Iemitsu felt that Amaterasu was too partial to the Han people and basically gave them everything, while Japan was earthquakes, volcanoes, and wars.
Tokugawa Iemitsu, dressed in traditional Japanese costumes, could clearly sense the hostility of the people of the city of Ningbo.
Even, if it weren't for the fact that there was a brocade guard sent by Uncle Ren and Uncle Miao to accompany him for protection, Tokugawa Iemitsu felt that he would probably have to be hacked to death on the streets of Ningbo.
Of course, Tokugawa Iemitsu also knew where this hostility came aboutβit wasn't the tribute war and the resulting rebellion.
Tokugawa Iemitsu, who thinks he is a smart man, chose to keep a low profile - bow more, listen more, watch more, talk less.
After the goods that came with the ship were almost processed, Tokugawa Iemitsu also gained a certain reputation in Ningbo City.
As a dwarf of the Japanese country, he has a brocade guard to protect him, and he must be a big man in the Japanese slaves.
And the big man in this Japanese slave is different from all the previous Japanese slaves.
What is the importance of the identity of the previous Japanese slaves? The nobles do not fall into the lowly land, that is to say, the trip must be a pomp, and someone has to carry it.
But this big man is not, even if a child spits on him, he can laugh.
So in the eyes of honest Ningbo people, this is a different kind of Japanese big man.
And the news that was fed back by the accompanying Jinyi Wei strengthened the determination of Ren Zhen and Miao Shoumo - such a good thing, either let him eat Fushou ointment, or persuade His Majesty the Emperor to get rid of it as soon as possible.
It's just that Tokugawa Iemitsu's plan to smoke the Fushou Paste is simpler than any real imagination - at this time, not to mention the Jiannu of Liaodong or the Japanese slaves, even those oil-nourishing and boiling countries in later generations still use Fushou Paste as a panacea at this time.
The reason why Tokugawa Iemitsu had never smoked it before was that Tokugawa Hidetada felt that his son's body was strong and not sick, so he didn't need to smoke this thing!
So when Ren Zhen "rewarded" the Fushou ointment to Tokugawa Iemitsu, who had "performed well" during this period of time, Tokugawa Iemitsu was immediately hooked on this "magical elixir".
In the process of processing the goods and going north to the capital, Tokugawa Iemitsu had the impression that the Ming Dynasty was too big and too rich.
After passing through countless cities that were larger and more prosperous than Kyoto, and being told that it was only a small city, and that it was still far from the capital, Tokugawa Iemitsu was convinced that the Ming Dynasty must be a kingdom favored by the heavens.
So when he stood outside the capital and looked at the tall Daming Kyoshi, Tokugawa Iemitsu was already sure that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was the real god of the High Heaven Plain.
As for the one in Kyoto, Japan, it must be an impostor.
According to his understanding along the way, Tokugawa Iemitsu felt that he had a certain understanding of this god emperor: murderous, ruthless, moody, far-sighted, and loving the people like a son.
The combination of a few contradictory words creates Tokugawa Iemitsu's first impression of Emperor Chongzhen, whom he has not yet metβthis is a projection of a true god in the world.
And in order not to be disposed of as a negative teaching material, Tokugawa Iemitsu honestly chose to follow the officials of the Ministry of Rites who came to "teach his majesty the rules" to learn the etiquette that should be paid attention to.
When Tokugawa Iemitsu was arranged to meet at the Imperial Court, he walked through the noon gate with the officials of the previous court, and saw the two scarecrows that were still hanging on the noon gate despite the many sewing and repairing, and also saw the palace with yellow glazed tiles, white jade railings, and red walls.
The coercion that has accumulated from generation to generation since the beginning of the invincible Meng Yuan made Tokugawa Iemitsu feel that he could not walk.
In such a comparison, the so-called eternal god in Kyoto has become a complete joke.
As for the palace where the "god" lived, compared to the imperial city in front of him, which seemed to have been entrenched between heaven and earth for eternity, it was simply a thatched house.
Step by step, the mountain call dance, the etiquette sent by the Ministry of Rites to teach, was meticulously done by Tokugawa Iemitsu.
After bowing to the ground, Tokugawa Iemitsu's head was tightly pressed to the ground.
Tokugawa Iemitsu remembers very well what the Ministry of Rites officials said: no matter what, it is not allowed to look up at the Son of Heaven, unless the Son of Heaven orders him to raise his head, otherwise he must act as if his neck has been broken.
Once you raise your head, you will be judged by the general of the palace in the palace to be misneficial, want to assassinate the king, etc., in short, this neck does not need to be bent, it will be broken directly.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at Tokugawa Iemitsu, who was honestly kneeling on the ground, and the taste in his heart was called a beauty.
These dwarfs have finally learned to fall to their knees again!
Pressing the dark coolness in his heart, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "Tomorrow, the two countries will be a strip of water, since they should be friendly exchanges, the past can not be traced, the misunderstandings of the past are now eliminated, and I hope that Aiqing will be committed to the friendship between the two countries tomorrow after returning to China, and do not raise swords again!" β
The design of the main hall ensured that even if Emperor Chongzhen spoke in a very ordinary voice, the people in the hall could hear it clearly.
Of course, except for those who dare to wander their minds when they have the courage to grow hair - for example, Yun Ye, the prince of Chu State, who dares to sleep distracted during the Li Er Dynasty meeting.
Anyway, in this situation, no one is distracted, especially Tokugawa Iemitsu, who came to this hall for the first time.
Tokugawa Iemitsu still didn't dare to raise his head, and maintained a posture of bowing to the ground and said: "Ministers of the lower country, obey the edict of the emperor of the upper country." β
It's just that Tokugawa Iemitsu's next request made Emperor Chongzhen not so happy.
Tokugawa Iemitsu, who didn't hear the word Emperor Chongzhen's flat body, had to maintain a prostration, said loudly: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Kingdom, since the time of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, my small Japanese country has sent students to study in the upper country to seek education, and now tomorrow will be friendly again, His Majesty the Emperor of our country ordered the ministers to ask His Majesty to send students to study in the Ming Dynasty again." β
After waiting for a long time, I didn't wait for Emperor Chongzhen's reply, but I heard the sound of Emperor Chongzhen getting up.
Tokugawa Iemitsu, who was like a cat scratching in his heart, wanted to raise his head more than once to observe, but finally had to hold back.
As the footsteps got closer and closer, Tokugawa Iemitsu secretly moved his gaze forward, staring at the gold bricks on the ground, only to see a pair of oversized boots.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen's voice also came from above his head, but the coldness in it could not be concealed: "Emperor? The lord of your country, still dare to be called the emperor? β
Tokugawa Iemitsu really didn't expect that Emperor Chongzhen would not mention the matter of condemning the Ming envoy at this time, but instead got entangled in the question of the title of emperor.
After some consideration, Tokugawa Iemitsu bowed and said: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Kingdom of God, the word "Emperor" is actually from Emperor Tenmu's "Asuka Jogohara Decree", and since then, the people of the lower kingdom have been called by the emperor, and there is no disrespect for the kingdom. β
Emperor Chongzhen was stunned at this moment.
The word emperor instinctively disgusted Emperor Chongzhen - damn it, Lao Tzu is a son of heaven, and you dare to call the emperor the little man of the dog day?
Why do you want to be a father to Lao Tzu?
In particular, what else is the book of the Son of Heaven at sunrise to the Son of Heaven at sunset? The Son of Heaven?
Hemp selling batches, you are naked trying to rebel!
But the origin of the word emperor, Emperor Chongzhen said that he didn't know - he didn't check it when he had Baidu in his previous life, and now he has traveled back to the Ming Dynasty, and even Baidu is gone, so how did these two words come about?
As for what Emperor Tianwu and what the "Asuka Jing Imperial Order" was said by the loser boy just now, Emperor Chongzhen had never heard of it.
Doesn't it mean that these foreign barbarians even treat their mother's myths and legends as history books? Who knows what kind of Emperor Tenmu is and what kind of ghost it is in ancient times.
But this did not hinder Emperor Chongzhen's determination to find trouble, even if he had just signed a "friendship treaty" such as Chongzhen's Seven Articles.
Emperor Chongzhen's cold voice came from his head, which made Tokugawa Iemitsu's heart sudden: "After returning, inform the lord of your country that you are allowed to be a minister to my Ming Dynasty but not the emperor, and the letter must be written with a seal instead of a national letter, as in the case of Joseon." If you don't obey, die! β
Emperor Chongzhen was a "well-read book" before crossing over, and I remember that there was a historical book that mentioned that the tiger talisman of Mongolian Wanhu was written in Basipa Mongolian with the four big characters of "not obeying fate".
For the people of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen felt that he couldn't bear to say these four words, but once he was out of the realm of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen said that it was very cool to say.
Of course, the current North Korea doesn't need Emperor Chongzhen to say at all, and the lord of North Korea, Ayayangjun, puts himself in the son generation of Emperor Chongzhen - the ghost knows how this guy can be so shameless and recognize Emperor Chongzhen as a father with such a little white face.
Well, the Ryukyu Shang clan is actually the same, these are all seen with Daming as their father.
Now that Emperor Chongzhen is pretending to be cool, Tokugawa Iemitsu wants to cry - if he is here today, he will definitely not be able to please him after he goes back.
But if you don't, you don't even have the possibility of going back.
Can a big husband bend and stretch?
Regardless of our height is only five and a half feet, I feel that it is not worse than the seven feet height of the Ming Dynasty, Tokugawa Iemitsu, who should be regarded as a big husband, said: "The ministers of the lower country dare not make decisions without authorization, and they can only report to our lord after returning to the country." β
Emperor Chongzhen hummed and said: "If the lord of your country obeys him, it is naturally safe to punish the envoy." β
This is a slap in the face to a sweet date.
In Emperor Chongzhen's opinion, don't you fucking want to send someone to study, okay, if you want to learn, you have to put on a grandson for Lao Tzu to make Lao Tzu happy.
Otherwise, why would Lao Tzu let you learn?
It's just that he didn't wait for Tokugawa Iemitsu to be happy, but Emperor Chongzhen continued: "All students who come to my Ming Dynasty must abide by the laws of my Ming Dynasty, and those who violate them will be punished by the laws of the Ming Dynasty, what does Aiqing think?" β
In fact, Tokugawa Iemitsu, who was ready to sell the emperor of Japan, persuaded the emperor to call himself the emperor of heaven, and it was impossible for Tokugawa Iemitsu to care about some envoys - as long as there were people who could study hard, it would be useful for Yamato to go back, and it would be no problem to die some people who didn't hear of it.
What's more, if you can provoke right and wrong in Daming, you must not have to learn, and you don't have to feel distressed if you die with this kind of goods.
After making up his mind, Tokugawa Iemitsu went on to bow and say, "Obey the holy decree of His Majesty. β
Emperor Chongzhen, who returned to the dragon chair, ordered Tokugawa Iemitsu to get up, as for the subsequent arrangements, it was a matter of the Ministry of Rites, and Emperor Chongzhen said that he did not care.
When Emperor Chongzhen returned to the harem, Wen Tiren and Meng Shaoyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, plus Kong Fanzhi, the priest of the country, were edicted into the palace.
Kong Fanzhi is actually very entangled in the end, it should be an attitude to face today.
As a member of the Confucian family, now that the Yan Sheng Gong family has been removed, it is impossible to say that he does not hate.
However, Emperor Chongzhen didn't say anything bad about Sage Kong, but changed the private sacrifice to a public sacrifice and threw the work that Yan Shenggong should do to the Ministry of Rites.
In other words, the same sacrificial hole should be sacrificed to the hole, and the name of the Holy Master of Dacheng has not changed at all.
The only ones who were unlucky were those guys from the North and South Sects.
From this point of view, Kong Fanzhi is grateful to Emperor Chongzhen - since ancient times, the group of ministers have to die, and the ministers have to die, which is the concept propagated by Confucianism.
Now that there is still a little incense, what is there not to be satisfied with?
Therefore, Kong Fanzhi no longer thinks about those who have and don't, and he still stays in Guozijian to concentrate on teaching and educating people.
It's just that no matter what, Kong Fanzhi can't understand why Emperor Chongzhen summoned himself to the palace today - the work of the prince of the country to supervise the wine is certainly not so easy, but it has nothing to do with the court.
After the three of them finished saluting, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "I summoned the three Aiqing into the palace today, just for those dwarf envoys. β
Emperor Chongzhen, who is not theoretically lacking in virtue, opened his mouth to call him dwarf, Wen Tiren suddenly remembered that it seemed that Emperor Chongzhen looked at those dwarf people before was not very pleasing to the eye, but now he agreed to them to send an envoy to Daming to study?
There must be something strange about this!
