By May of the first year of Wude, the Jingshi was getting hotter and hotter. The fleet led by Hou Xian has been away from Beijing for almost two months.

Zhu Gaoxu thought of this incident from time to time, and guessed that Zhou Quan and the others who were sent to the country should have already arrived in the country, and they may be inspecting the situation that Zhu Gaoxu needs. It is said that this country is a neighbor of the Ming Dynasty, but before, the imperial court did know too little about it; The monarchs and ministers of the Jianwen Dynasty, and even the actual rulers of the country at the beginning, were mistaken.

Based on Zhu Gaoxu's impression, the first thing he thought of was that there were a large number of silver mines and silver mines in his country. The famous Kinkakuji Temple is a testament to this, and the entire building is actually wrapped in gold leaf.

Unexpectedly, the imperial court soon received an urgent report from Hou Xian. The messenger took the post road of Liaodong by land and sent the report to Beijing on an expedited horse.

The things were presented to the Rouyi Palace, and Zhu Gaoxu got two things, one was the national letter of his own country, and the other was Hou Xian's recital.

Zhu Gaoxu first read the national letter roughly, and the meaning turned out to be that Yuan Yizhi refused to accept it, and the court canonized him as the king!

He also looked at Hou Xian's recital, and even the request of the Ming envoy to go to Kyoto was refused, and he was not allowed to go to pay tribute to the dead Yuan Yoshimitsu. By the time Hou Xian's recital was sent away, the Ming fleet, as well as dozens of envoys including Zhou Quan, were all staying in Geoje County (southeast corner of Korea) in the Xian Kingdom.

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly got angry. Because when the Wen Dynasty and the Yongle Dynasty were established, it was said that the country was very active in diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty; And as soon as he ascended the throne, why did he send it to the door to make friends with them, but he was rejected?

Among them, it is still very strange, before the death of Yuan Yi, the envoy of his country took the initiative to come to mourn; Why the sudden change in attitude? Its pondering and impermanence of policies is really confusing.

At this time, he carefully read the letter of his country, but found no meaningful explanation.

Signed by Yoshitomo Minamoto, his explanation in his letter is very ridiculous, to the effect that after the founding of the country, everything will be instructed by the gods. Recently, the gods entrusted a man to tell him that his country had not been a vassal since ancient times, to warn him not to accept foreign missions in the future, and to teach his children and grandchildren to persevere in this matter.

Zhu Gaoxu scolded and threw the national letter on the big desk. He had never seen such a national letter, let alone such a comical and unreasonable content that could be written on a serious national letter!

Hou Xian wrote a lot of words in the recital, and the eunuch's recital was much more reliable.

It says that the officials of the country who came to Geoje-gun sent a letter of state, and among them was a samurai from the Ouchi clan of Hakata Port (Kyushu region). Yao Fang learned martial arts with the Ouchi clan, took the opportunity to befriend this person, and later bribed him with a large amount of copper coins, and got some inside information from the Ouchi clan.

In fact, Yuan Yizhi's decision to refuse the canonization of the Ming Dynasty was the result of the opposition of his ministers, such as the Si Bo clan, and the result of Yuan Yizhi's consensus with them.

Zhu Gaoxu recognized Hou Xian's explanation even more, which is much more convincing than what gods possess and speak!

In the recital, Hou Xian tried to describe the power system of his country, but he did not say it clearly, probably because they also heard it from the mouth of the "Ouchi clan". Moreover, it seems that the rule of the country seems to be very complicated, and it is indeed difficult to describe and understand.

…… It is said that there is an "emperor" in China, and of course Zhu Gaoxu knows it.

However, what is strange is that they have the Northern and Southern Emperors; Now the agreement reached is to take turns to sit in the bank, and there are constant internal disputes over this. However, the emperor has no real power, and from the perspective of power, he can ignore it for the first time.

Under the emperor, there were two groups of more powerful forces. One was the leader of the shogunate, the shogun Minamoto Yoshimoto, who led the force called the "samurai", which was mainly composed of samurai and seemed to be the highest authority recognized at this time; However, some parts of the Kanto region were semi-independent, ruled by traditional hereditary aristocracy, but nominally under the command of shoguns sent by the shogunate.

There were three leaders below the samurai shogun, all of whom were family-style hereditary samurai, appointed from the three families of the Spo clan, the Hosokawa clan, and the Hatakeyama clan. The decision of the shogunate not to accept the canonization is the meaning of these samurai generals.

And in the shogunate, there are also many grievances and contradictions.

Hakata's Ouchi clan revealed: The death of the former Zhengyi general Minamoto Yoshimitsu is rumored to be due to assassination! Because Minamoto Yoshimitsu wanted to be the emperor himself, it caused some people to be dissatisfied; Genji, on the issue of heirs, left hidden dangers, causing the military generals within the samurai family to support each other. After many battles brewed, Minamoto Yoshimitsu was assassinated and killed, and then Minamoto Yoshimochi won and became a new shogun.

The Spa clan and the Hatakeyama clan chose someone to be the leader of the shogunate and take charge of foreign affairs; can have the position of governor in their respective families to manage internal affairs. As a result, there are also grievances and contradictions within the family that cannot be resolved.

The reason why the samurai Ouchi clan of Hakata in Kyushu told so much was because he received a large amount of copper money, and secondly, he was dissatisfied with the policies of the Kyoto shogunate. The Ouchi clan seems to be willing to trade with the Ming Dynasty because they need the circulation of copper coins transported by the Ming Dynasty.

…… After reading Hou Xian's recital, Zhu Gaoxu was confused, but he also had a general impression: the severity of the infighting in the shogunate of his country was far greater than that of the Ming Dynasty, but the martial arts were very xenophobic.

Hou Xian finally wrote that because his country refused to have diplomatic relations, he did not dare to act rashly until he got the will of the emperor. The distance between Chao Xian Geoje County and Daming Jingshi was long, and it took a long time for the Holy Decree to come and go, and after the military Chinese and military discussions decided to lead the fleet to return to Jingshi first.

Zhu Gaoxu's heart was blocked, and the progress of the northern fleet was obviously very unsmooth. The sailors, composed of thousands of soldiers, only escorted the envoys of the Xian State and the envoys of their own country back, and then found out a little news through bribes; Just doing these things, there is no need to send so many sailors to go, of course, it is a loss-making voyage.

He was not in a good mood, and went back to the Qianqing Palace very early in the afternoon. asked the person who was sleeping today, it was Concubine Du Qianrui, and Zhu Gaoxu sent someone to call her over to talk to him and distract himself.

Not long after Du Qianrui came, the eunuch Wang Gui also arrived at the Qianqing Palace.

Wang Gui stepped forward and met Zhu Gaoxu and Du Qianrui, looking a little speechless and stopped. Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu said: "If there is something, let's talk about it." ”

"Emperor Yu, over there in the Zhao Palace, there is a secret report coming back,...... Wang Gui said softly.

"Hmm." Zhu Gaoxu responded and motioned for Wang Gui to continue. He felt that there was nothing to do, and he needed to avoid Du Qianrui.

Wang Gui talked about the secret report of King Zhao's mansion, indeed because Zhu Gaoxu had been paying attention to King Zhao's affairs recently.

The new palace built by the imperial court for Gao Sui in Zhangde Mansion has been repaired for the most part; And Zhu Gaoxu, in return, found a new princess for Gao Sui. The candidate for Princess Zhao is not the woman of the Mu family, nor is she the daughter who restored Xu Zhang

children's names; Instead, he chose the second daughter of Wei Guogong Weida.

Unexpectedly, at that time, Zhu Gaoxu heard that Weida's second daughter was not good-looking and very fat. Zhu Gaoxu sent a eunuch to Beiping, told Gao Sui the truth, and said that he could choose a new one. Gao Sui is in the book, what he cares about most is the woman's conduct and morality; Hearing that Wei Guogong was very strict in his family education and that Webster was knowledgeable, he was very satisfied with the candidate.

Zhu Gaoxu had already made it clear that Gao Sui was re-elected, but Gao Sui replied so; Then you don't have to bother to keep picking. Zhu Gaoxu only needs to summon Wei Da again and talk to him, and he can confirm King Zhao's marriage.

At the same time, the imperial court sent a right long history to Zhao Wangfu, and inserted a dark line into it. Wang Guiyu reported this matter: "King Zhao said some things to Zuo Changshi Gu Sheng, which were completely different from what he wrote. ”

Zhu Gaoxu asked, "What did Gao Sui say?" ”

Wang Gui said in a deep voice: "King Zhao said that he can be the prince because he was born in the Zhu family; can be a prince, not a county king, and it all depends on his father and second brother. And Princess Zhao can only have one, and she can't waste the position of marriage.

He also said that there were many beauties in the palace. If you are tired of it, go outside to lure some women, as long as you don't make too much trouble, the second brother won't do anything to him. Therefore, the candidate of Princess Zhao, of course, he does not have to pick the hue; Talent is even more useless, it's nothing more than a few sour poems. What else can you pick but to pick one? It doesn't matter what Princess Zhao looks like, what matters is who her father is! It's best to be a little eye-catching, so as not to make people uncomfortable to watch; But even if it's too ugly, as long as Princess Zhao is measured and doesn't always complain about sleeping less, he doesn't think there's anything wrong with it......"

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he was speechless.

Gao Sui's words in private were ugly, but Zhu Gaoxu thought about it and felt that it seemed to make sense. Isn't a clan from a noble background who doesn't want to endure hardships have such a mind?

Zhu Gaoxu thought of himself, he had never thought about it that way, and when he woke up, it was because his background in his previous life was too poor, and his mentality could not be reversed in time. After all, when you are from a bad background, you have to rely on hardships to think that you have to work hard, which is the correct thinking, although it often does not change much.

But he also benefited from it, and if he hadn't had a more fighting mentality, how could he get to where he is today?

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu inadvertently glanced at Du Qianrui and found that her expression was very embarrassed, and her face was red.

Wang Gui also quietly raised his head and glanced at Concubine Shu, also with an embarrassed expression.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I know, you go down." ”

Wang Gui bowed down and said, "The slave and maid are retired." ”

After a while, Du Qianrui said softly: "The concubine originally thought that it would be good to be a slave by the side of the saint, but she didn't expect the saint to treat her so kindly. ”

"It's all fate, you are like this, and so am I." Zhu Gaoxu said.

Du Qianrui thought for a while, and didn't seem to understand the second half of Zhu Gaoxu's sentence. There's no way she's going to understand.

Zhu Gaoxu said kindly: "It's rare to be in love, and a love is not cheaper than the actual benefits." Besides, if I want benefits, I will find a way to take it myself! ”

When Du Qianrui heard this, her eyes gradually showed a look of admiration.
