The next day, July 16, was the day when Yunxi officially received the envoys of Fanguo. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, there were envoys from four countries in the capital of the Ming Dynasty: Samarkand, Siam, Champong, and Korea, and the main and deputy envoys were all present except for Korea; North Korea's deputy envoy Ahn Sung-jun was really afraid that he would return to China and be stabbed by Li Fangyuan, so it was Kim Han-lao who accompanied Yang Ben to set off.

During the Hongwu period, the etiquette for receiving foreign envoys had not yet been determined. Yun Xi was not used to receiving them during the last dynasty, so there were too many people and the distance was too far, which was not conducive to him and his cronies and foreign envoys for detailed questioning, so it was decided to receive them in the Jinshen Hall after the next dynasty.

Today's ministers also knew that they were about to meet with the envoys of Fanguo, so no one was crooked, basically talking about yesterday's more important performances, and then everyone withdrew.

Yun Xi came to the Jinshen Palace, changed into regular clothes, and then came to the main hall of the Jinshen Hall to meet the envoys of Fanguo.

The envoys of the Korean state were the first. An Chengjun is an envoy who has traveled back and forth between Daming and North Korea many times, and he is familiar with the road, and Yun Xi has nothing to ask, so he salutes according to the rules and says hello, and then lets him go over and wait for the banquet.

The second was the envoy of the city. Champa is what is now southern Vietnam, probably south of the north-south dividing line before and after the withdrawal of the Mi army in the Vietnam War.

Yun Xi lacks interest in Cham. This country is all in the tropics, dense jungles, only suitable for the development of agriculture, it is impossible to threaten the Ming Dynasty, and has always been very deferential to the Ming Dynasty. If there is a chance, Yunxi will try to push a relative to the throne of the king, and if he doesn't have a chance, forget it.

Yun Xi also said a few words casually and asked him to go over and wait for the banquet.

Next up is the King of Siam. Yoon-hee finally lifted his spirits a little. Siam is the Thailand of later generations, and after checking the information, Yun Xi found that the envoys who had been to Nanyang all said that Siam is now a relatively powerful country, while the originally powerful Chenla (Cambodia, at this time the Angkor Dynasty) in the east is declining.

Yun Xi has also seen it in later generations, it seems that the main ethnic group of Siam and the Dai people are one nation, and Yun Xi does not understand the language of the Dai people, otherwise you can try.

Yun Xi asked some questions about the situation in the Nanyang region, which made the Siamese envoy Meng Ku suddenly feel bad: why did the emperor of the Ming Kingdom care so much about the affairs of the Nanyang?

However, Monku still basically told the truth, and Siam is not the only country in Nanyang, and it makes little sense for him to lie.

Thinking that since the emperor of the Ming Kingdom was interested in Nanyang, Mengku focused on the fact that the Manchurian kingdom south of Siam did not pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

Yunxi is very happy! Manraka is probably the area of Malaya and Singapore, and it is better not to pay tribute!

The last to receive was the envoy from Samarkand. Manraha and Feisi had been waiting impatiently. Seeing that all the Siamese envoys had entered, and that only their envoys from Samarkand were waiting, Fesi said to Manrakha in Turkic: "If it were in any other place, who would dare to treat my envoy of the Timurid empire so slowly!" Even those small countries were thrifty first! ”

Fisi and Manlaha had already learned where the other countries were and what their strength was.

"Orientals have always been self-centered, and they often refer to their country as 'China,'" he said in Chinese, "meaning the middle of the world." Thinks that people everywhere else are barbarians. Even during their occupation by the Mongols, there were people who thought so. ”

"So they treat all the countries in the same way, and they only arrange the emissaries of the countries in the order of first come, first served."

Feisi shrugged and said, "I really can't understand what these people think. ”

While they were talking, a eunuch came up to them and said, "Messenger of Samarkand, it has come to you, do not forget the etiquette. ”

The two of them tidied up their clothes and walked into the main hall. In this small gap, Fei Si also said to Manlaha: "It's really hard to understand why they use people of the same race as eunuchs, we all use black people." ”

Man Laha whispered: "In fact, most of the eunuchs of the Ming Kingdom are not of the same race, many of them are castrated by Mongols on the battlefield, Hui Hui and prisoners of war of other nationalities, similar to our family. It's just that they look similar to the Han people, so you will be mistaken for it. ”

The two walked into the main hall and saluted according to the arrangement. Yun Xi took Samarkand very seriously, even if he did not know that this was the Timurid Empire.

Yun Xi waited for them to finish their salutes, thought for a while, and asked, "The capital of your country is Samarkand?" ”

Man Laha replied, "Yes, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Yun Xi smiled and said, "You are talking like this because your lord also claims to be the emperor in the country." The Fanguo of the East would not speak like that. ”

Man Raha immediately felt that this emperor was very different from Zhu Yuanzhang, and there was no unhappy look on his face when he said this just now.

Manraha had never encountered this problem before, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Fei Si, who was behind him, listened to the words translated into Mongolian by the interpreter and said, "?√ ?".

The interpreter on the side said: "Your Majesty, this envoy said that the minister heard that Annan also proclaimed himself emperor in the country. There are other countries that call themselves emperors at home, but they only come to the Ming Dynasty to claim themselves kings. Is Your Majesty going to use this to reproach our country? ”

Yun Xi smiled: "I don't mean that. The matter was revealed.

Then Yun Xi asked about some customs and customs in Central Asia. Manraha said something half-truthfully.

At this time, Yun Xi asked, "What is the name of the lord of your country?" Yun Xi originally wanted to hear if they had any honorific titles for the emperor, or avoided them. He was a little curious about the culture of the True God Cult at this time.

Fei Si said: "Our lord translated it into Chinese according to Mongolian, probably translated as Temur, or Timur. ”

The last three words he said were like lightning bolts piercing Yun Xi's brain, and Yun Xi instantly remembered the Timurid Empire, which was very famous in Western history.

Yun Xi asked a little uncalmly: "Is your lord a prince?" ”

Man Raha and Fei Si, who listened to the translation of the words, looked at each other, and then Man Raha said, "How did Your Majesty know? ”

Yun Xi paused for a moment and said, "Oh, I heard from other envoys from the Western Regions. Manraha and Fesi did not delve into it.

Yun Xi waved them two down, and then ordered the feast to be prepared. Yun Xi himself also went to the side hall to change his clothes, but his heart was not calm.

Yun Xi didn't know much about the Timurid Empire, except that it was considered by later Western historians to be one of the two most powerful states in the world during this era. Then Timur probably went east in the early years of Yongle to start a war with the Ming Dynasty, but died in the middle of the road, and then the country was divided.

Yun Xi couldn't help but secretly pray to the Buddha, Taishang Laojun and other immortals he could think of: "I must let Timur die as in history, I don't want to have a big war with Timur and consume national strength." ”

Yun Xi came to the place where he was drinking with the envoy and was still thinking about this matter, and from time to time he glanced at Fei Si and Man Laha, which made them a little puzzled.

At this moment, a little eunuch walked into the hall and said a few words to Wang Xi. Wang Xi immediately whispered to Yun Xi: "Your Majesty, the master of Jiangdu is about to give birth." "Yunying has not officially crowned the princess, but Wang Xi does not dare to call her the county lord, so she is called the master of Jiangdu.

Yun Xi suddenly became excited. If you want to say that the relatives who have the best relationship with Yun Xi, except for Lao Zhu, it is Yun Ying, she is going to give birth, Yun Xi can't wait to run to her side and watch immediately.

But he can't, and he has to talk to these people here about useless things. So Yun Xi instructed: "Let the midwife who delivered the baby for the people in the palace go to deliver Yunying." Send a few more people. Wang Xi took the order.

Then the Timurid Empire didn't think about it either, and was worried about what Yunying would do if something happened. And worried about what to do if Yunying bleeds heavily?

"It is really necessary to prepare a few people in advance, draw some blood from Yunying's arm, and inject it into these people's bodies, and then whoever does not die should be the same blood type as Yunying, and you can transfuse Yunying blood in case of emergency, but it is too late." Yun Xi thought.

===================================================

At this time, the Cao family also gathered outside Yunying's delivery room and waited, including Cao Zhen, Cao Zhen's wife Li, Cao Xing and his wife Liu, and Yunying's husband Cao Che.

Cao Che and Yunying have a very good relationship with each other, so Cao Che is extremely worried; And the Cao family probably knew that Yun Xi and Yun Ying's brother and sister had a good relationship, so they were also very worried.

At this time, Wang Xi came with four midwives. The sedan chair carrying the midwife was carried directly into the inner courtyard of the Horse Mansion, all the way to the outside of Yunying's delivery room.

Wang Xi came out of the sedan chair, and he didn't have time to say hello, and said directly: "Your Majesty sent me to bring these midwives to help deliver the babies. Let them in. ”

Cao Zhen's wife, Li, couldn't stay outside anymore and said, "I'll go in too." Then he took the four midwives into the delivery room.

As soon as Li entered the delivery room, he heard the midwife he had invited before say, "Princess, work hard! Go hard! ”

Li Shi also hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness." ”

Yunying opened her eyes and said, "It's my mother-in-law." "The voice was a little weak.

Li said: "Princess, the child is about to be born, and the princess will be fine immediately." ”

Yun Ying said: "I have no strength. ”

Li said: "Princess! The child must be born, and His Royal Highness must also be well, and watch him grow up! ”

Lee said a lot more. I don't know if Li's words played a role, or something else, Yun Ying squeezed out some strength and finally gave birth to the child.

The people waiting outside were going crazy, and for a whole hour, Cao Che clenched his fists with both hands, and his palms oozed blood and he was dazed; Wang Xi has been thinking about how to explain to Yun Xi in case something goes wrong.

Hearing that the mother and son were safe, the Cao family was thankful, and Wang Xi immediately returned to the palace in a sedan chair.

===================================================

In the Qianqing Palace, Yun Xi was also anxiously waiting. Although Fang Xiaoru felt that it was not a good thing to delay the government for a princess, he was not stupid, and he would not fight Yun Xi for inconsequential things, so he did not speak.

At this time, Wang Xi rushed in, and when he saw Yun Xi, he shouted: "Your Majesty, the master of Jiangdu, the mother and the son are safe!" ”

Yun Xi suddenly soothed his nerves, stood up and said, "It's so good! ”

In the Rouyi Hall in the northwest corner of the palace, Yunying's mother, Concubine Li, finally relieved after hearing the news of Yunying's safety.
