Chapter 1121: Ordinary People
Tokugawa Akihide and Aoyama Kamematsu were nervous, and they did not want the Ming Dynasty to intervene in the civil strife of the Wa Kingdom.
The Shimabara Rebellion has already burned the plains, and the civil unrest in various places has risen one after another, and if the Shimabara cannot be suppressed, the entire Wa Kingdom will be in chaos.
The Akito must not interfere in the Shimabara Rebellion, at least not for now!
The two couldn't help but look at each other, both frowning, the Ming Dynasty is now prosperous in force, the belligerent wind prevails, and even the people are cheering, waiting for the Ming Dynasty to annex the Wa Kingdom.
Now, what to do? The emperor of the Ming Dynasty had clearly told them that they were going to 'respect the king Xiangyi' and annex the Wa Kingdom!
This time I came to Daming, on the surface, Tokugawa Akihide was the main envoy, but in fact, the turtle pine of the green mountains was.
His face was gloomy and solemn, he bowed at a right angle to Zhu Xu, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my previous offense!" With a very sincere heart, I came to Daming to express the idea of peace, and I hope that Your Majesty will make permanent peace between Daming and the Japanese Kingdom with a heart of benevolence, and the people will no longer have wars! ”
Zhu Xu has already seen that whether it is Tokugawa Hideaki or Aoyama Kamematsu, it is just a gimmick, and Tokugawa Iemitsu does not mean to be a 'minister', but just wants these two people to test or delay time.
Zhu Xu looked at Qingshan Guimatsu and nodded: "I received your sincerity and went back to tell the Tokugawa general that I hope that the two countries will be good-neighborly and friendly, and there will never be war." ”
Qingshan Guisong looked at Zhu Xu, his face sinking like water.
This Ming Emperor was more difficult than he expected, and he said a lot of big words, empty words, and lies, but in fact, he was not serious at all, and he was left with a huge shock in his heart.
Seeing that Zhu Xu refused to let go, Tokugawa Mingxiu was extremely worried, his eyebrows furrowed, and he bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, I sincerely hope that the two countries can coexist peacefully, the people of the two countries do not need war, we already hate war, and war has no benefit!" ”
Zhu Xu nodded in agreement and said, "I deeply think so, please tell General Tokugawa on my behalf that I am looking forward to his peaceful reply." ”
Cao Huachun appeared at the right time and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to go." ”
Zhu Xu nodded, hugged Xiao Ciye and got up.
Tokugawa Hideaki wanted to say more, but couldn't find the words. Qingshan Guisong didn't speak at all, just looked at Zhu Xu with a gloomy face, and watched him walk out, keeping his hand on his waist.
But not far away, seven or eight guards stared at him, and he instinctively sensed the danger and did not move.
Zhu Xu walked out of this post station, shook his head secretly, and said: "Although the country is narrow and sparsely populated, its ambitions are not small, you have also seen it, and he has refused to bow his head at all from beginning to end, and it will definitely be a big trouble for my Ming henchmen in the future!" ”
Cao Huachun was silent, he saw clearly, but it was not suitable for him to speak.
Chen Beijing followed and responded: "Yes." The Military Intelligence Department summarized a lot of information and presented it to the meeting of the Marshal's Office. I think that the Wa Kingdom is ambitious, not only Toyotomi Hideyoshi wants to step into the Central Plains, but the Wa people have this idea in their bones, even if they are not as strong as they are now, they will come again sooner or later, and they should be cut off as soon as possible to prevent future troubles! ”
The Generalissimo's Mansion, that is, the Generalissimo's Mansion.
Zhu Xu hugged Xiao Ciye, thought about it as he walked, and said: "The affairs of the Wa Kingdom, go according to the established plan, don't be interrupted because of anything." The affairs of the Wa Kingdom must follow our rhythm, and any changes must be reported to me. The situation in the Japanese country is complicated, the Japanese people are cunning and changeable, we must be cautious and careful, we are in a good situation, but we can't capsize in the gutter. ”
Chen Beijing looked solemn and said, "Yes, the minister understands." ”
"Father, hungry." Xiao Ciye raised his head from Zhu Xu's shoulder and said.
Zhu Xu patted his little head and said to Chen Beijing: "After I go back, summarize the plan and show it to me, don't let these people go first, they are still useful." ”
"Yes." Chen Beijing raised his hand and quietly retreated.
Zhu Xu hugged Xiao Ciye and walked on Chang'an Street.
The heavy snow has stopped, and the teahouses and restaurants on both sides are more lively, and the laughter is endless.
Zhu Xu glanced at it and said to Xiao Ciye with a smile: "Let's go, my father will take you to eat delicious food." ”
The little guy's eyes suddenly widened, and he came to his senses, hugged Zhu Xu's neck, and turned his head to look forward.
Zhu Xu walked for a while, stopped in a restaurant in the champion building, looked at it, and stepped up to the second floor.
Cao Huachun personally went to arrange the order, and then arranged a box by the window for Zhu Xu and his son.
"Have you heard of it, I heard that the son of the Great Khan of Mongolia has surrendered on his own initiative, and he will soon arrive in Beijing."
"I know that His Royal Highness King Ping personally went to the city of Naturalization to surrender, and the Khan kings of the Mongolian tribes all entered the worship together, and our emperor has been respected as the 'co-lord of the world', this world, it is our emperor, and we are the Ming Dynasty!"
"I looked at the map that the Cabinet just published, do you know how big our country is? It is more than twice as big as the sixth year of the Apocalypse, far surpassing Taizu Taizong! ”
"Yes, our emperor has made outstanding achievements, shining in the annals of history, and should be the first emperor throughout the ages!"
"You're talking about martial arts, needless to say, the 'Wenzhi', think about it, if such a large-scale 'Jingzheng New Deal' is successful, it will inevitably shine through the ages, shocking the ages and shocking the ages, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first holy lord in three thousand years!"
"That's that, anyway, our life is still a lot better, if it is really what I said to the court, our life will definitely be better in the future......"
"Hey, come out quickly, King Ping has returned to Beijing, come on......"
Then there were bursts of firecrackers, bells and drums, as if the whole capital was lively.
"Quick, go and see, that Mongol Khan is coming......"
"What Mongol Great Khan, that's the King of Shunping, the two-character prince of our Ming Dynasty......"
"Yes, yes, hurry, let's go and see, this is a grand event, I can tell my children and grandchildren in the future......"
Then, it seemed that the entire building was running frantically outside, and in the blink of an eye, the building was empty.
Cao Huachun came in from outside, looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, King Ping has returned to Beijing." ”
Zhu Xu had already heard it, thought about it, and said with a smile: "Elder Bi Ge has already gone to greet him in person, I won't go, I have done too much to steal the limelight, not bad this time, low-key once." ”
Cao Huachun knew that Zhu Xu intended to elevate the status of the cabinet, so he silently stepped aside.
Not long after, Xiao Er came in with a large plate and said with a smile: "This official, these are our signature dishes, safflower longan fish, champion lion head, assorted eight-treasure soup......"
Zhu Xu looked at the dishes on the table and said to Xiao Ciye, who was sitting on the side, "Ye'er, what do you like to eat?" ”
The little guy blinked, got up from the chair, took the bowl, and looked at Zhu Xu.
He didn't have much strength in his wrist, and he couldn't hold chopsticks, he used to be Li Jieyu or Zhu Xu, and the palace maid clamped it for him.
As soon as Xiao Er saw it, he immediately handed over a pair of small chopsticks to Xiao Ciye, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the official, this fish is from Liaodong, and we have it in the whole capital, there are no thorns, don't worry about the little boy." ”
Zhu Xu was stunned, then looked at the plate seriously, and said thoughtfully: "Are there a lot of sea fish now?" ”
Xiao Er tidied up the table and said with a smile, "No wonder the officials haven't seen it, these are indeed sea fish, they couldn't be beaten before, but now they are all big ships, more than a dozen ships go to sea hundreds of miles away to fight back, all kinds of fish, shrimp, mussels, some kelp, seaweed, etc., although it appeared last year, but the amount is not large, and there are more this year, I heard that it is better to pay tribute to the palace......"
Zhu Xu nodded with a smile and said, "I don't come out much, I watch it tightly at home, I don't know what changes are there outside?" ”
Maybe it's because Zhu Xu ordered all the signature dishes, or maybe it's because Zhu Xu is extravagant, and Xiao Er is very enthusiastic in his politeness, and said, "If you want to say that the biggest change is the businessmen who come from the south to the north, now, I don't know how many carriages rush to Nanzhili every day, and there are a lot of things that are transported back, and some businesses in the capital have made a fortune, and their worth has increased more than ten times, and I heard that some businessmen have bought more than a dozen big ships and are ready to go to sea......"
Zhu Xu nodded slightly, what Xiao Er said was what he saw from this angle.
The river has been dredged, widened, deepened, the official road has also become a cement road, the shipping has been restarted, the basic transportation of the Ming Dynasty has been much better, plus the changes in the business environment, it is normal for businessmen to gain benefits.
"How are ordinary people doing?" Zhu Xu asked.
Xiao Er glanced at Zhu Xu seriously, and then smiled a little reservedly: "Official, this little one dares to speak, you should listen to it." ”
Zhu Xu smiled gently and said, "It's just small talk." ”
Xiao Er said: "We, we have had good and bad ones, the capital has been disturbed over the years, and it has not been very calm, I don't know how many people have been involved." But most of them are doing well, the prices are not high, there is work to do, there is money to earn, the official family is not as hard as before, relatively speaking, it is still much better......"
