Chapter 508: Diplomatic Disputes (Part 2)
This time, Emperor Hongzhi summoned the Mongolian envoys, not a formal reception, in fact, Emperor Hongzhi had already met before this.
The purpose of Emperor Hongzhi's summoning of the Mongol envoys was to question the other party why he was deceived by a fake scripture, which was a diplomatic note.
Diplomacy is no trivial matter, but in these years, the Ming Dynasty regarded itself as a **** country, and envoys from other countries came, all of them were "coming to the court", and the court held the mentality of the superior from top to bottom, and Mongolia did not have a reciprocal negotiation relationship in diplomacy.
It's just that in the rewards of these foreign countries, the court will never be stingy, on the one hand, it regards itself as a great power, and is afraid that the gifts given will be scolded and shabby; On the other hand, they want to use silver money to open the way in exchange for the stability of the frontier.
There are a total of five Mongolian envoys who entered the palace this time, three envoys, two monks, and the envoy who took the lead was transliterated as Yisimain, who is said to be the national teacher of the Dayan Department, and there are two beside him, one is called Wu Licha, and the other is called Huo Aya.
Yismain and Ulica are burly and ordinary, and they belong to the goods that cannot be found if they are thrown into the pile. Only the fire silk, with a smooth forehead, snow-white skin, eyebrows like spring mountains, eyes across autumn water, delicate and straight nose bridge, are plump and graceful lips...... It turned out to be a boy and a girl.
This person is petite, but he is dressed thickly, exuding a faint smell of mutton, coupled with the uninhibited roughness of the grassland people, Shen Xi feels that even if she is a woman, her appearance is not bad, but she is not close.
Xie Qian and Xu Qiong were in charge of this note, and when these people came, Yi Si Ma Yin did not speak, but Wu Li Cha stepped forward and asked in a non-standard Chinese: "You said that you would give me gold and silver Ayaluo, why did you go back on your word?" Do you Central Plains people just don't talk about faith and righteousness? ”
You look at me, I look at you, obviously they don't need to translate at this time.
Xu Qiong's face was not very good-looking, but Xie Qian said with a smile: "What's going on, please ask Your Majesty yourself." ”
"What Your Majesty, isn't it your Great Khan? When I entered the palace, I was not allowed to wait for the saber, thinking that when I waited for the time to meet Batu Munkedayan Khan on the steppe, I would never untie the saber! ”
Ulica seems to be extremely arrogant, the grassland is respected by force, where does it care what etiquette? The elegance of officials like the Central Plains Dynasty is simply useless in the Mongolian desert.
On the other hand, Yi Si Ma Yin looked quite calm, standing proudly, and didn't even bother to squint at Xie Qian.
Because Emperor Hongzhi did not come for the time being, everyone had to wait outside the palace, there were not many people, in addition to Xie Qian and Xu Qiong, there were still several accompanying ministers from the Six Ministries and Honglu Temple, but they came with Zhuang Zhuang and prestige, and these people may not be able to speak later.
After not seeing anyone for a long time, Xie Qian asked the little eunuch at the palace gate and asked, "Where is Your Majesty?" ”
"Your Majesty went to ask the Empress Dowager for peace......"
Zhu Youji's biological mother died early, but his maternal grandmother Zhou is still alive, Zhou is the concubine of Ming Yingzong, but it is the biological mother of Emperor Xianzong, who has been living in Qingning Palace in the palace, and usually does not ask about the government, but Zhu Youzhu occasionally has to bring the queen over to ask for peace to show filial piety.
Shen Xi saw that Emperor Hongzhi was deliberately hanging Mongolian envoys, you used fake scriptures to deceive me, and you wanted me to reward you like a fool, now I'm not happy, what if you wait for a while?
Courtiers and other emperors, that is a matter of course, but these foreign envoys are not so patient, especially Ulica, has been shouting there, if it is replaced by ordinary courtiers dare to make noise in the palace, they have already been pulled out of the court staff, but because it is a foreign envoy, the people of Fanbang can not care about it, so let the Mongols in the palace of the Ming Dynasty be arrogant.
Shen Xi's expression was calm, he was pulled by Xie Qian to be cannon fodder, and he had to translate the scriptures in front of the emperor for a while, proving that this scripture was just a general missionary text at all, and it was just an excerpt, not a heavenly book, maybe there was a dispute of tongues. So, he simply closed his eyes and rested, anyway, he didn't sleep well yesterday.
The leader of the Mongol envoys, Yismain, finally reprimanded, and Ulicha stopped.
Huo Aya stood there, looking at Shen Xi curiously, very surprised that there would be a courtier in the Ming Dynasty who looked like a teenager, and occasionally frowned. Because as far as he knows, the officials of the Ming Dynasty are all over thirty years old, most of them are fifty or sixty years old, just like Xie Qian and Xu Qiong, which is basically different from the young people in their twenties and thirties on the grassland.
At three o'clock, Emperor Hongzhi was late.
The courtiers and envoys lined up to enter the Qianqing Palace, and then saluted Emperor Hongzhi.
The Ming Dynasty ministers naturally knelt here, and the Mongolian envoys just bowed, it is obvious that the Mongols did not regard the Ming Dynasty as a **** country, but only as a diplomatic country with equal relations, as for the two monks, they even saved the number of courtesies, and stood there like a wooden man.
Shen Xi thought to himself, at this time, he should come out and shout: "Wait for the barbarians, why don't you kneel when you see me facing the Son of Heaven?"
But it seems that this mode of diplomatic relations between the two countries has become a fixed rule, and no one raised objections, so Emperor Hongzhi naturally raised his hand and said, "All the ministers are flat", and Shen Xi stood up straight with all the officials.
With Shen Xi's official position, he is not yet qualified to go to the court, let alone participate in the court proceedings, but since he became an official, he has had many opportunities to meet Emperor Hongzhi, which is an honor for the courtiers.
Yi Si Ma Yin stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I don't know why you want to invite us here?" Didn't you say that I would be given a credential in a few days, allowing me to wait until I return to the grassland? ”
Yi Si Ma is very smart, he did not mention the reward of the Ming court, only said to take the national letter, and according to the past practice, the Ming court will give a large number of gifts at the same time as the national book, not to mention that this time they also presented the "book of heaven".
Zhu Youzhu picked up the pamphlet on the dragon case and said to Yi Si Mayin: "I sent someone to invite the national teacher to come, but there is something unclear. Some time ago, the book of heaven offered by the national teacher, I have found someone to translate it, can you see if it is the content on it? ”
Yi Si Ma Yin looked surprised, he obviously didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty could really find someone to translate the bird text, and when the little eunuch handed over the translation to him, he shook his head after reading it: "No, this is not the content of the Book of Heaven, what is dabbled in in the Book of Heaven is more than this...... More broad and profound. ”
Later, he muttered two sentences, Shen Xi couldn't understand it, and the translator next to him hurriedly explained to the emperor, which was a way for the grassland people to praise God.
Shen Xi had long expected that Yi Si Ma Yin would not admit it, and after he took the translation, he did not read the content clearly, so he said that the translation of the scriptures was wrong, and this was to die to the end.
Zhu Youzhu took the translation back into his hand, looked at Xie Qian, and asked, "Xie Aiqing, who translated this scripture?" ”
Xie Qian replied: "Back to Your Majesty, it was translated by Shen Xi, the right middle of Zhan Shifu, and today the minister has brought him to the palace, and Your Majesty can ask him in person." ”
Shen Xi hurriedly came out of the queue and knelt down to Zhu Youzhi to salute, Zhu Youzhi saw Shen Xi, still as kind as ever, nodded and said:
"It's Shen Zhuangyuan, get up."
At the same time of approval, with a slight suspicion, obviously even Emperor Hongzhi didn't believe that a thirteen-year-old boy actually understood the writing of Fanbang, which was a "book from heaven" that even those professionals in the Siyi Pavilion couldn't say.
Waiting for Shen Xi to get up, Zhu Youzhu said again, "Shen Aiqing, you tell the truth about the content of the scriptures. Every time he speaks, let people translate it into Tatar, so that the national teacher can distinguish ......"
Shen Xi was about to speak, but was stopped by Yi Si Ma Yin, Yi Si Ma Yin looked at Shen Xi, with a seemingly kind smile on his face, and waved his hands: "Your Majesty, no need, this adult's translation must not be the content of the Book of Heaven, so no matter what he says, it must be wrong......
It's one thing for Emperor Hongzhi to believe Shen Xi or not, and now let Shen Xi translate in public, but this Yisi Ma Yin insisted that it was not, which made people feel a little overbearing, didn't you hear it first.
But in Shen Xi's opinion, Yi Sima was quite clever in this move, and eliminated all ways of suspicion from the beginning...... Aren't you **** to the kingdom, didn't you affirm that my scripture is a "book from heaven" before, and now I want to exchange it for the corresponding reward, as for the rest, I don't want to know, don't tell me.
"This ......"
Zhu Youzhu himself was a little hesitant.
Since ascending the throne, due to his weak health, Emperor Hongzhi is very obsessed with Taoism and Buddhism, which has created this seemingly joke diplomatic incident.
At the same time, Zhu Youzhi did not want to believe that Shen Xi's translation was correct, because this would only make his hope of immortality come to naught.
At this time, the treacherous and cunning Xie Qian asked with a smile: "Dare to ask Yisi Ma Yin National Teacher, since you said that this translation is wrong, then Your Excellency must know the content of the original scripture?" ”
One sentence made Yi Si Mayin's face slightly embarrassed, he thought about it, and shook his head slightly: "Lord Xie, I only know a little about the content of the Book of Heaven, and there is a sentence among you called ...... Heavenly secrets must not be revealed. Thinking about it, the reason is almost like this, or Your Majesty needs to find someone to understand the above content correctly, and you can't just find someone to write an article to fool around, so that you can live forever. ”
In addition to playing tricks, this is also intended to arouse Zhu Youji's interest, all emperors hope for immortality, Zhu Youzhang's obsession with Taoist arts, that is known to the world.
The issue turned to an impasse.
Because no one knew the content of the so-called "Book of Heaven", even if Shen Xi was sure that what he said was true, no one stood up to testify for him, so they insisted on their own words, and Emperor Hongzhi had affirmed the value of the "Book of Heaven" before, which made the Ming Dynasty fall into passivity in this diplomatic incident.
Just when the scene was extremely embarrassing, Shen Xi walked over and saluted Yi Si Ma Yin, without any nonsense, and directly popped out a sentence in Fanbang language, and listening to his words, it should be a question, but no one present could understand, including Yi Si Ma Yin.
Everyone is wondering, what is this little-known new champion talking about?
Yi Si Ma Yin smiled slightly: "Lord Shen, can you use the words of the Central Plains people to say it again?" ”
Shen Xi asked with a slight surprise on his face, "Didn't the national teacher understand what he was saying?" ”
Yi Si Ma Yin thought to himself, dare to pretend to be the language of the Book of Heaven with just two sentences, you are so easy to deceive me?
Yismain had a kind smile on his face and shook his head gently, his appearance was gentle and elegant, which made people think that he was a righteous gentleman at a glance.
Shen Xi said: "The national teacher said before that he knew a little about the content of the scriptures, but he only said the first sentence of the scriptures, why didn't the national teacher know anything about it?" ”
Yi Si Mayin's smile suddenly froze, and his face turned cold, but he still said with certainty: "Lord Shen is wrong, this is not the first sentence of the scriptures, I don't want to talk to you about this issue." ”
