In May of the third year of Wude, the weather in Jingshi became hotter and hotter.

In addition to Zhu Gaoxu's receipt of the good news of the war in Hakata Bay, within a few days, the imperial doctor Youyu, Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu, who entered the palace to diagnose the pulse, all had a happy pulse. The ministers of the court and the central government always say some words of congratulations in addition to facing the saints. Each of them only spoke once, but Zhu Gaoxu had to listen to it many times, and he was a little annoyed later.

The situation is stabilizing. The content of Sheng Yong's recital, there was no need to expand the war, which was consistent with the views of the court officials. And Zhu Gaoxu already has two sons, the imperial concubine is pregnant, and having more princes can also stabilize people's hearts.

Zhu Gaoxu's walking steps were also a little blower than usual. Follow him out of the main hall of the Qianqing Palace and go to the entourage of the nearby Winter Warm Pavilion, those palace maids who wore skirts and took small steps, had to trot to keep up.

On hot days, the ladies of the court were thinly dressed, and they all looked fancy. Zhu Gaoxu was in a good mood, and noticed that their trotting posture was a bit interesting, so he glanced back. Although the palace maids wore the same dresses, one of the palace maids seemed to have a thin fabric for the lining, which was suddenly discovered by Zhu Gaoxu.

The palace maid also seemed to notice Zhu Gaoxu's gaze, and quietly looked up at him. Her cheeks were red and her eyes were strange, which immediately made Zhu Gaoxu guess that her clothes were negligent or deliberate.

She hurriedly buried her head. But at this time, the palace maids next to her seemed to show unfriendly expressions towards her.

Walking into the room with a slightly Southeast Asian style straw curtain, a eunuch took out the ice cubes that were kept warm by the quilt and put them under the towels. The two palace maids also held fans and gently shook them next to Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu opened the top book and found that it was Sheng Yong's handwriting. This cannon, only a few days after the last one.

Sheng Yong said in the second recital that shortly after the Battle of Hakata Bay, the Ming army accidentally contacted a Japanese named Uesugi Zenhide through capture. This person is the Kanto Governor, who has jurisdiction over the power of the Kamakura Principality, and his power is very great in Japan.

Although the Uesugi clan cannot be the master of the Muromachi den, they are very familiar with the situation in Japan and are more confident in the decision-making predictions of the Muromachi den. Because the former Kanto governor was a member of the Ashikaga family, he was assisted by the father of the Uesugi clan.

After learning of the negotiation conditions of the Ming army, the Uesugi clan sent his retainers to meet with Sheng Yong. The Uesugi retainers persuaded Sheng Yong, first, if the Ming Dynasty was sincere in his deliberations, he must make concessions on the issue of "emperor"; Second, it may not be possible to return the Ming envoy Qian Xili, as far as Uesugi knows, the Ming envoy is dead, and he can only return the corpse and other entourage.

The envoy of the Uesugi clan made it clear that all parties in the Kanto region were willing to negotiate peace with the Ming army. The reason is that once Kyoto is attacked, Muromachiden is very likely to retreat to the Kanto region, which will inevitably affect the Kamakura government, and it is not something that the Kanto governor wants to see.

The envoy also claimed that the Muromachi Palace alone had no right to decide matters concerning the emperor; Even if it is decided, it will not be valid, and the guardian daimyo in various places will definitely not recognize it, and will continue to support the emperor. If the Ming Dynasty insisted on this proposal, the Muromachi Ashikaga shogun would have no choice but to burn the jade.

Sheng Yong should have believed Uesugi's remarks, so he was in a hurry to take the second concerto. The name of the emperor is contrary to the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, Sheng Yong cannot decide, otherwise he will definitely be impeached by a bunch of officials when he returns to China.

Zhu Gaoxu put down the concerto, grabbed the towel on the ice cube, and covered his face for a while.

First of all, Sheng Yong's judgment, Zhu Gaoxu is still more trusted. Secondly, the reason given by the Uesugi clan was that he did not want Muromachi Hall to transfer the interests that would affect the Kanto forces, and he was willing to negotiate, which Zhu Gaoxu also felt was more reasonable; On this basis, it is reasonable to infer that Uesugi is credible in his views on the "emperor" issue.

"Wang Gui, immediately summon the officials of the six ministries and five temples, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the General Political Envoy, and the Hanlin Academy, and come here to discuss confidential matters." Zhu Gaoxu put down the towel and said immediately.

Wang Gui bowed and said, "The slave and maid obey the order." ”

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at the eunuch palace maid beside him and said, "Let's go down first." ”

"Yes." Everyone curtsied on their knees.

After waiting for a long time, the ministers came to the door one after another to perform the great gifts of the monarch and the ministers. Zhu Gaoxu asked Wang Gui to take down the chapter and show it to everyone.

After the general question book entered the Department of Political Affairs, what was the content, and the ministers probably knew it earlier than Zhu Gaoxu. However, Sheng Yong, the urgent report of the general who commanded the army, the general envoy would not delay the time to transcribe it, but directly sent it to the imperial front or the cabinet. Therefore, it is still necessary for the ministers to understand the matter first.

In the Dongnuan Pavilion, which is not spacious, there is a lot of commotion, and the civil officials and nobles are still arguing.

This matter is indeed more difficult to handle, especially the civil officials are very entangled. The courtiers attached great importance to the justification of etiquette, but it was not the courtiers' desire to cling to fame and obviously expanding the scale of the war against Japan.

In the eyes of the civilian officials, it was useless to completely occupy Japan by spending money on the treasury, which was too far away and had too little arable land. In fact, Zhu Gaoxu also holds the same attitude.

Tobe Shangshu Xia Yuanji's voice was relatively loud: "There have always been people in Japan who pretend to be the emperor, but it is not today's thing. ”

Another voice said angrily: "Emperor Ming is the Son of Heaven, but there is a barbarian over there who dares to call him the Emperor, what kind of system is it?" ”

Qi Tai, the secretary of the military department, bowed and said, "What is the meaning of the saint?" ”

Everyone was a little quieter.

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a while, but did not answer directly, he said: "According to my court etiquette, the name of the emperor really doesn't make sense. But perhaps the imperial court should weigh the benefits more and find a more appropriate way.

If the DPRK can smoothly station troops in Japan, there will still be great prospects for goodwill between the two countries in the long run. In the future, Japan will not even have national defense, and the national policy will depend on our intentions, so will we not be able to think of a way to 'make everyone happy' and resolve differences in the future?

For example, once the maritime trade is fully opened, the import and export of goods will have to be subject to tariffs, and a single decree can decide many things. In a region that is not backed by strong national strength, there is not much room for manoeuvring.

And our Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette and harmony, not a barbarian government like the Yuan Dynasty; All of you Aiqing are righteous men and gentlemen with high morals and compassion, and they don't like to kill. Our dynasty does not have to use brutal means of terror and destruction.

Always leave some way for the Japanese national power, what is easy to discuss, and there is no need to burn the jade at every turn, which is not good for everyone, and can not trust each other. If the people in Muromachi Hall are really unreasonable, there will always be people who know the times. ”

Everyone was at a loss for a while, and it was common for courtiers to praise the emperor as comparable to Yao Shun, and it was not common for the emperor to compliment ministers. Zhu Gaoxu's rhetoric is also relatively fresh, and the bureaucrats seem to be still pondering the deep meaning.

Qi Tai said: "The minister has an expedient measure. It is reported that the puppet emperor has no real power, and the shogun Ashikaga clan has the highest power, and the matter of the false name may be postponed.

The treaty did not mention whether or not the name "Emperor" would be retained, and tacitly allowed them to continue to use it in their own country, but only stipulated that the word "Emperor" should not appear in any official documents of the Japanese State. The diplomatic documents of Japan were all signed in the name of the Ashikaga clan being canonized as the 'King of Japan' by the Ming Emperor. ”

Zhu Gaoxu looked back left and right and asked, "Is there a better way for you?" ”

There was no one to say anything.

Zhu Gaoxu quickly raised his palm and gently slapped it on the imperial case, "Zhun Qitai's words, so he approved the chapter." ”

"Holy Wisdom!" Some ministers said one after another.

Zhu Gaoxu lifted the pen on the inkstone and wrote it on Sheng Yong's recital. When everyone saw this, they saluted and thanked them and retired.

After the people left the Dongnuan Pavilion, the chamberlain who had retired before came in with a palace maid. After Zhu Gaoxu finished writing the reply, he noticed that only one person came in, and he subconsciously felt a little strange.

He glanced up and immediately recognized that this palace maid was the one who had walked a little bit earlier.

"You came in on your own?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.

The palace maid was silent for a while, and finally spoke, speaking a little unfavorably: "Father-in-law Cao, father-in-law Cao called the slave maid to come, bring tea and water to serve the saint." ”

"You don't want to be on duty in the Qianqing Palace, and if you go to the Xianfei Palace for a while, you will say that it means me." Zhu Gaoxu said casually.

The palace maid was slightly confused, and said in a trembling voice: "Did the slave do something wrong?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I'm afraid that some people here in the Qianqing Palace don't like you, wouldn't it be more comfortable to change places?" ”

As he spoke, he casually picked up another book and looked at it. His attention shifted, and he put what had just happened to him behind for the time being.

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly remembered the palace maid next to him, and when he looked up, he saw that she was standing there in a trance.

Zhu Gaoxu asked kindly, "What's your name?" ”

"Ah......" The palace maid came back to her senses and said busily, "The slave's surname is Cheng, and she has no name." ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, and then glanced at her chest. Cheng raised his hand slightly, embarrassed to cover it slightly. Zhu Gaoxu picked up the pen and wrote a word on the note: Accurate.

He pointed to the imperial case and said without raising his head: "Paperweight." ”

"Oh!" Cheng suddenly handed over a nephrite paperweight.

"The saint didn't know the slave before, why should he care about me?" Cheng suddenly asked boldly.

Zhu Gaoxu put down the things in his hand, looked at the teenage lady and said, "You don't have to think about it. In our Ming Dynasty, the provisions of the law are often not the most important criterion for judging right and wrong. The rules I have to abide by are different from everyone else's. ”

Cheng looked dazed. Zhu Gaoxu said kindly: "Go." ”

"Yes." Cheng seemed a little confused, curtsied step by step, and retreated.

Soon the eunuch Cao Fu came in with a few people, and he looked like he didn't know anything. Zhu Gaoxu picked up Sheng Yong's recital and said, "The ministers have already discussed, so there is no need to send it to the cabinet." Take it to the envoy and tell them to arrange for a fast horse to be sent out immediately. ”

Cao Fu hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the things and said, "The slave and maid will do it immediately." ”
