Chapter 920: The Affair of the Three Feudatories
On the second day, when he went to the court, Yun Xi asked the attendant to read out the holy decree, and crowned the 59th Sun Xihui of Yan Hui, the 60th Sun Zhicui of Zengzi, Zhong Lu, the descendant of Zilu, the descendant of Mencius, Xi Wen, the descendant of Min Shao, the descendant of Min Shao, the descendant of Duanmu Ci, and the descendant of Ran Qiu, Ran Ruzhang, as the hereditary doctor of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy, and asked the seven families to send people to the Ying Domain, the Song Domain, the Min Domain, the Luo Domain, the Pu Domain, the Yong Domain, and the Su Domain to 'educate' the local people. The power of these seven families is far inferior to that of the Kong family, and Yun Xi doesn't need to discuss with them, just give an order. Together with Kong Xilu, the former patriarch of the Southern Sect of the Kong Clan, a total of eight families proficient in Confucianism were sent to the canonized feudal domain to 'educate' the locals in the east and south of the Ming Dynasty.
Yun Xi's move was not only to strengthen the education of the local elite, but also to strengthen the control of the local area. In the future, the feudal states of the Northeast and the South Seas will definitely withdraw their feudal domains, whether they are directly withdrawn from the feudal domains or by the Tuien Order, they will inevitably withdraw their feudal domains after the local barbarians have been civilized.
In this case, not only to ensure that the local vassal king is the Zhu family, but also to strengthen national identity and economic ties, especially national identity, historically, Wallachia, Transylvania and Moldavia have long been three countries, but in modern times, because they all consider themselves Romanians, they have been miraculously merged into one country under the situation of Austria-Hungary and Russia.
As long as the people of these families take root in the local area, they will take Confucianism in the local area, and Confucianism has been the main learning of the Han nation for more than a thousand years, which is enough to educate the people who were originally very backward in culture.
And this is also learning from the advanced experience of Westerners, with a knife and a gun in one hand and a scripture in the other.
Of course, the civil and military officials present at the scene would not raise objections. The generals didn't care about this, and this was exactly the kind of education and barbarism that the civil officials strongly admired, and all the officials knelt down and shouted "Emperor Shengming".
After a while, everyone had already stood up, and Yun Xi felt that no one would have something to report, so he whispered to the waiter to let him announce the next court. But as soon as the waiter stepped forward and didn't speak, he heard a voice from below: "Your Majesty, the minister has a play." ”
Yun Xi looked down and saw that it was Zheng Yi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and asked, "What is the matter with Zheng Qing?" ”
"Your Majesty, at the end of the fourth year, the envoys of the Zhufan countries who went to Guangzhou to meet Your Majesty followed Your Majesty back to the capital, and some have been in the capital for a few days.
"In addition, the envoy of the Majapahit Kingdom, Sumanli, asks to see His Majesty." Zheng Yi said.
When Yun Xi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If you allow the envoys of Fusang and other countries to return to China, you don't have to say goodbye to me again, and send the officials of the Ministry of Rites to send them to the port of Shanghai." ”
"As for the envoy of the Majapahit Kingdom, since he has something to ask to see me, I will meet him."
After Yun Xi took these Fanguo envoys to Annan, he also brought them with him when he returned to Beijing. In fact, he just wanted to keep the envoys of one country in Daming, but it was too important to keep the envoys of this country alone, so they all brought them back to the capital. These envoys of Fanguo were naturally willing to enjoy a few more days in Daming, except for a few people who wanted to return to China to report the Samarkand spy case, everyone else followed Yunxi to Yingtianfu.
Yun Xi was actually a little anxious. He can't always drag on this matter, he must always have an explanation, but the envoy of the Majapahit has not asked to see him since he returned to Beijing, and he cannot show weakness and take the initiative to summon him. Now that I finally heard Su Manli ask to see me, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After saying this, no one had anything to report, the waiter announced his retirement from the court in a loud voice, and Yun Xi also stood up and left the Fengtian Temple.
But after returning to the Qianqing Palace, Yun Xi did not immediately prepare to meet him, but sat down to answer the folds. It wasn't until Huang Lu walked up to him and whispered, "Official, the envoy of the Majapahit country, Su Manli, asks to see him", that he said slowly: "Tell him to wait for a while and change my clothes." After another half an hour, Yun Xi sat in the place where he usually received the envoys of the Fan Kingdom and met Su Manli.
Su Manli immediately knelt down and said: "Su Manli, the minister of the guilty country, has seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" ”
Yun Xi stared at his back, and after a long time, he said, "Flat." ”
However, as he expected, Su Manli did not stand up, but continued to kneel and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers of the guilty country dare not get up. ”
"The Samarkand spy case and the witch Gu case interrogated in Guangzhou in the first month of the Celestial Empire, although our Manchu Boyi people participated, but our lord never knew about this matter, and if the minister had a lie, he was willing to be punished by Ling Chi."
Sumanli was very scared. After the first month interrogated those two cases, he immediately asked to see the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but was refused, and later Yun Xi went to Annam to bring envoys from many countries but did not take him with him, he was very afraid that the Ming Dynasty would use this as an excuse to send troops to the Manchu Boyi, and it happened that the army had just pacified Annam, and it was also convenient to turn south to fight another battle.
Later, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty returned to the north, but most of the troops still stayed in Annam and did not return, so he was even more worried, worried that Yunxi had actually made the will to conquer Majapahit, but he would not officially announce it until the army had rested, so he hurriedly followed him to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and asked Yunxi not to send troops to attack Majapahit. After a few days of preparation, he formally offered to meet him.
If Yun Hee knew what he was thinking, he would have laughed. The Ming Dynasty is different from the Fan Kingdom of Nanyang, everything is upright, Yun Xi because of this era to send a large army to fight it is impossible to keep it secret, and these small countries in Nanyang do not feel that they have the strength to resist the Ming Dynasty, of course, tactically can not be made public, but strategically never try to keep it secret. If he had already decided to send troops to the Japajapa, he would have made an order immediately.
But even if he didn't know what he was thinking, after listening to Su Manli's words, Yun Xi said very calmly: "Even if this matter is not instigated by the lord of your country, how can the lord of your country get out of this matter?" Princes and ministers of your kingdom, must they not obey the orders of the lord of your country? ”
"Besides, it's just your words, and I don't know what the situation is. I believe you didn't lie to me, but how could your lord tell you such a thing? ”
Hearing Yun Xi speak so calmly, Su Manli was even more afraid. He knew that the monarch of the Central Plains wanted to pay attention to joy and anger, and even if he was angry, it would not be revealed on the surface, but the more he wanted to be angry, the calmer he became, so Su Manli trembled and kowtowed, and said: "Your Majesty, since the second year of Jianye, I have seen the power of the Great Ming Dynasty, and the princes and ministers of the whole country are not strong enough to provoke the Ming Dynasty?" ”
"And, and, if the Ming Dynasty finds out that this matter was done by our people, the Ming Dynasty will definitely be furious and send troops, and it will be difficult for our country to resist the Ming soldiers, and the army will definitely be burned as soon as it arrives, so how can it be good for our country?"
Yun Xi still said very calmly: "This is not possible, besides, this time the witchcraft of witchcraft on me was originally very secretive, if it weren't for my guards who accidentally broke through the harvesting and cutting, and it happened that Wudang Mountain Sanfeng Zhenren was near Guangzhou, this matter would definitely not be discovered, maybe your lord would be unfavorable to me because of this." ”
"Your Majesty, the lord of our country knows very well that the Great Ming Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger can produce many people, and no matter what is a hundred times stronger than me, how can he be so lucky?" Sumanli kowtowed again.
The two of them talked for a while, and Zheng Yi and Chen Ji, who led Su Manli in, interceded for him again, and Yun Xi pretended to be moved: "In this case, I will not send troops to attack Majapahit for the time being, but I will send envoys to your country to investigate this matter, if I find clues, I will definitely not spare your country!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Su Manli knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, knocking blood out of his forehead before standing up again.
Yun Xi said again: "Even if this matter is not done by the lord of your country, but as the monarch of the country, he can't control his ministers, how can it be done by the king?" After cursing the king of Majapahit for a while, Sumanli just stood aside and listened.
In the end, Yun Xi said: "Your country needs to arrest the three tribes of Wude, and I will punish them in the capital; The wizard with the pseudonym Jin Rong will also be sent to Daming, and it must be done before the first day of the first lunar month next year! ”
"In addition, your country needs to send three million stones of grain to the city of Guangzhou in the Ming Dynasty to atone for this sin."
Sumanli agreed one by one. Although he was a little distressed about sending three million stone of grain, he also knew that he could not refuse, and the grain on Java Island was ripe three times a year, although it was not very delicious, causing the nobles in their country to secretly import grain from Daming every year, but Daming did not specify the taste.
Yun Xi reprimanded him in the same tone that a father taught his son, and made him retreat. Before retiring, Su Manli also knelt down and thanked the great tomorrow.
But as soon as Su Manli retreated, Chen Ji asked: "Your Majesty, if Your Majesty suspects that this matter is done by the lord of the Majapahit Kingdom, then send troops to recruit it; If Your Majesty doesn't think that this is the work of the lord of his country, and it is enough to reprimand and punish him, why should he send someone to investigate? The Ming officials are not familiar with the people on the island of Java, how can they investigate the truth of the matter? ”
Yun Xi smiled, but said, "I also know that they can't find out the truth of the matter, and I want to take this opportunity to see how the situation is in Majapahit." ”
"I don't believe that this is the work of the lord of his country, but it still happens, part, because of his acquiescence, and second, because his lord has no control over his country, so he doesn't know. I want to know what this is. ”
But it's not that simple. He wanted not only to know what was going on in Majapahit, but also to explore the human geography of Java.
For someone to assassinate him, Yun Xi was of course very angry, very angry, and wanted to slaughter all the people in the Majapahit country. But Kublai Khan's invasion of Java failed that year, and he had to be cautious about it. If you know the human geography and products of Java in advance, you will be more sure of what you do.
Moreover, he also has to prepare for the war against Samarkand, which is the enemy of life and death, so the matter of Majapahit can only be put back for the time being.
After saying this, Zheng Yizuo reported: "Your Majesty, if the envoys of Fusang and the other three countries want to return to their countries, who should they send?" ”
"Just send Yang Ben, the host and guest of the Ministry of Rites." Yun Xi commanded casually.
……
……
"Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end, since we have arrived in Shanghai, there is no need to bother Lord Yang, we will go to the dock and return by boat." Fuso envoy Hino Nobuaki said to Yang Ben.
Yang Ben actually didn't want to send them to the dock anymore, so he pushed the boat along the water: "In this case, I wish a few people a smooth journey, and I can still see a few of them on New Year's Day next year." ”
"Thank you Jiyan." Hino Shinaki smiled and agreed, leading the people of Fuso to their Fuso ship.
After getting on the boat and leaving the dock of the Ming Dynasty, the envoy of the Fusang Kingdom asked Hino Shinxian, who was standing on the deck looking at the capital of the Ming Dynasty: "Your Excellency, after returning to China to see the Taizheng Minister, how do you tell the Taizheng Minister's body that Prince Qingtai, whose body should have been decomposed, is still alive, although he lost an eye, he is still alive in the Ming Kingdom, and has been reused by the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom?" ”
"Why did you tell the Minister about this?" Nobuaki Hino turned his head to look at the servants who were sorting out the goods he had purchased from Daming, estimating how much he could earn from the goods that cost three hundred and fifty yuan.
"Isn't this to the Minister of Justice?" The man said in astonishment.
"Of course don't tell." Nobuxian Hino, who calculated that he could earn more than three times the profit, was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "If this matter is known to the Imperial Minister, not only will there be turmoil in the imperial court, but the former imperial family that has been relegated to Shikoku Island will not be at ease." Nowadays, more is better than less. ”
"But if the Minister of Prime Ministers learns about this in the future, how can he explain it?"
"Why do you need an explanation? I don't think the emperor of the Ming Kingdom wants to make a public announcement, even if it is accidentally known by the minister, it has nothing to do with us. ”
"This," the man was still uneasy.
"Saburo, you don't have to worry," Hino Nobuaki said, "no matter what, it won't implicate the two of us." ”
And at the same time, the original Fusang royal family, who was given the name Zhu Hengshi, also said to Beibi Yuanxin: "You return to Fusang this time, first, to bring in the families of the samurai who worked for the Ming Dynasty, and secondly, to win over those samurai who are about to be unable to live, so that they can serve the Ming Dynasty." ”
"I've been identified by Nobuaki Hino, and although he certainly won't say it to Yoshimitsu Gen, be careful not to secretly return to China. This time to recruit samurai, you can't use my name, you and the name of the Kusunoki family. ”
"And the third," Zhu Hengshi took out a bag from his waist, handed it to him and said, "This is the item I want you to give to Fang Ze's son Fang Duo." ”
Kitanbi Motoshin took the bag, hung him next to the bag around his waist, and after he finished speaking, he wanted to stop talking several times, but finally asked, "Lord, is this really good for the Fuso samurai?" Coming to a strange place to fight for the Ming Dynasty? ”
"I don't know if it's good or bad for Fuso, but it's good for the samurai, who can use their martial arts and get paid more than if they were serving the daimyo at home."
"I know what you're worried about." Zhu Hengshi said: "If there is such a day in the future when the Ming Dynasty invades Fusang, I will definitely try my best to stop it." But until then, let's run for the samurai to live a better life. ”
