Chapter 311: Yang Zhi
Yang Zai walked into the hall, and immediately knelt down after seeing Yun Xi sitting in the middle and said, "Yang Zai has seen Your Majesty. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Yang Ben on the side also knelt down and saluted.
Yun Xi looked at Yang Zai with some interest. Yang Zai is also almost fifty years old this year, and he has been an envoy to the vassal kingdom since more than 20 years ago, and he is also an experienced envoy now.
Yun Xi felt that because this will to the Majapahit Kingdom was not very friendly, it was a very humiliating thing for a country like the Majapahit Kingdom that still had some strength, so the lives of the ministers were in danger.
Yun Xi cherished the lives of the people of the Ming Dynasty very much, and he didn't want the ministers to die at will, and then he felt that Yang Zai was experienced and it was more likely to use his whole body to retreat, so he used Yang Zai as the envoy. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, a division like Yang Zai would not be an envoy.
However, after Yun Xi let them get up, he didn't talk about Yang Zai first, but talked to Yang Ben first. Yang Ben didn't specifically accompany Yang Zai on a trip, he also had his own affairs.
Yang Ben came to inquire about Yun Ying's upgrade of the county lord's mansion to the princess's mansion and so on. At this time, Daming did not have any Ten Princes' Mansion, and Zhu Yuanzhang did not have the habit of building a house alone for the concubine to let the husband and wife live apart, so the princess and the concubine lived together, and they both lived in the princess's mansion.
Although Yunying had already determined that she would be a princess in the future when she got married, the ceremony could not be abolished, and the mansion that Yunying covered at that time was only the county lord's mansion, not the princess's mansion, even if it had to be rebuilt or built again in the future, it could not be surpassed at that time.
So Yang Ben came to determine this matter, as well as the construction of King Xu and Heng's palaces in the capital, as well as the fact that Yunwen's palace would also be overturned. Although the actual construction or flipping of the cover is the business of the Ministry of Industry and the internal officials and supervisors, the Ministry of Rites is supervised by the Ministry of Rites.
At present, there are still a lot of vacant land on the side of the two main roads, Chang'an Avenue and Hongwu Street, and they are all state-owned land, so it stands to reason that there is no shortage of places; However, for the long-term plan in the future, Yun Xi always left a place for the later prince and lord to build a house, so he ordered Yun Ying and Yun Wen's mansion to be renovated, Yun Ying temporarily lived in Cao Zhen's Jingchuan Marquis' mansion, and Yun Wen temporarily moved back to the palace to live.
As for the place to build a palace for Yun Xi and Yun Xi, Yun Xi pondered for a moment and said, "Yun Xi's palace is in the open space next to the Qi Palace." As for Yunxi, he is still young, so let's talk about it after he is crowned. ”
Then Yun Xi asked Yang Ben a few other things in the Ministry of Rites and asked him to step down.
Yun Hee then turned to Yang Jae.
When Yang Zai saw Yun Xi looking at him, he immediately became nervous, and drops of sweat immediately oozed from his chin, and they also dripped onto the surface of his feet.
Yun Xi knew that Yang Zai was very nervous, and said with a smile: "Yang Aiqing doesn't need to be too nervous, I just have something to ask you about the envoy to the Majapahit Country." ”
"Yang Zai, I heard that you once sent an envoy to the country of Majapahit, how are the people there? How about the monarch? ”
Yang Zai heard that it was his profession that was asked, pondered for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, when the minister sent the envoy to the country of Majapahit, the monarch of the country at that time was still Xili Badala, and now according to the envoy of the Three Buddhas, Shi Jinqing, it is already Vikramafahana, and the minister does not know how the monarch is, but when he was an envoy, he heard that the prince of his country is very capable and should not be underestimated. ”
"He was very aggressive with his people, and he had made missions to many countries in the South Seas, but none of them were as belligerent as the people of Majapahit. ……”
After Yang Zai said a lot, his nervousness was relieved a lot.
Yun Xi then said: "Then in your opinion, will the Majapahit Congress obey my will and withdraw from the army?" ”
Yang Zai struggled for a while and said: "Your Majesty, from the perspective of the ministers, many colleagues are overly optimistic, and the ministers see that it is impossible for this Majapahit to retreat. ”
Yun Xi nodded, there was no other reaction on the surface, but he was thinking about it in his heart.
In fact, really sensible people think that it is absolutely impossible for the Majapahit Kingdom to quit because of a will of the Ming Dynasty, which is too nonsense. But everyone is not telling the truth, they are just talking about the fact that the mission will be successful. However, they did not advise Yun Xi at all about the preparation of the transfer of troops.
Yun Xi didn't know if Yang Zai was telling the truth because only the two of them were there, or if he was really honest to a certain point. But since you've managed to get so many countries to complete the mission, it doesn't look like the second one. Yun Xi thought.
Yun Xi has the intention of cultivating Yang Zai. Daming's diplomacy is very rudimentary, and Yun Xi can't look down on it at all. If it were just these surrounding countries, it would be fine, but Yun Xi had a bigger goal, and the diplomacy of those places where the Ming army could not reach for a while was very important.
That's why Yoon-hee wants to train diplomats who fit his ideas. Yun Xi asked Yang Zai a few more questions, which were not entirely related to the envoy to the Majapahit country.
Yang Jae's answer was unsatisfactory in Yun Xi's opinion. It seems that the old man cannot be of great use, and the new man must be cultivated. Yun Xi thought.
After that, Yun Xi said: "Yang Sizheng, this time I sent you to the Manjapahit Kingdom to read out the holy decree, and you yourself said that it is most impossible for the Manjapahit Kingdom to obey the holy decree, so I will definitely send troops to uphold justice." ”
"Even if you leave before the arrival of the Ming Heavenly Soldiers, you may encounter misfortune because the people of the Majapahit Kingdom are angry and angry. Therefore, I allow you to be flexible without dishonoring the national dignity in order to save the lives of the envoys. ”
"If someone else comes back and talks nonsense, I won't be embarrassed for you."
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions, although Zhang Qian did not complete the task, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not blame him at all, and sent him to the Western Regions again, and later named Bowang Marquis. Am I not as good as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty? ”
Yun Xi was originally just an analogy, but after he finished speaking, he thought of something.
Yang Zai listened to Yun Xi's words and was very moved. Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there have been too many things that have made the envoy take the blame if the envoy is unsuccessful, although Zhu Yuanzhang has not had such a situation, but Yun Xi can say for sure.
Yang Zai actually cares about his own life, and he didn't want to send his life to the country of Majapahit, but if his attitude is not very tough, it is estimated that other envoys will impeach him when he comes back, and if the task is not completed, it is estimated that he will be demoted.
But who would have thought that Yun Xi would be so considerate of them. As for Yun Xi lying, Yang Jae didn't think about this situation. Because if Yun Xi is ready to let him take the blame, then there is no need to say this at all, what if he is directly sent to him? So there's no need.
Yang Zai knelt down and said: "Your Majesty is gracious, and the minister has nothing to repay ,......."
Yun Xi asked him to get up, gave him a few more words of encouragement, and then asked him to step back.
