"This ......" Fu Han had no experience in dealing with foreigners, and originally in his capacity as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he would not have come to see the envoy of the Buddha Langji in person.

But this is the first time that the country of the Buddha Lang machine to the Ming Dynasty tribute, it is said that the tribute is very much, Emperor Hongzhi in order to let the Buddha Lang machine people feel the sincerity of the Ming Dynasty, so he sent Fu Han to preside over diplomatic relations.

"Can you take a look at the tribute list?" Fu Han showed the bearing of a **** minister.

The Franc machine people do not understand the Ming language, and there is no special Franc machine translator in the Siyi Hall at this time, and it still needs to rely on two translations to make each other understand.

Unlike before, which relied on spurs and translations, this time the Ming Dynasty also found the translations of spurs and Siam from the Siyi Pavilion, but these people were suspected of indiscriminately filling the numbers, and they stammered and discussed for a while before communicating to each other.

After the translation, the words spoken by the Franc machine man over there were translated: "Lord Shangshu, the Franc machine man said...... What they paid was not a tribute, but a ransom for the ransom, and the court was asked to follow the previous agreement, paying the money with one hand and the other hand. ”

"Bastard!"

Fu Han slapped the coffee table violently, with an angry expression, "Tell these Fanbang people, don't deceive people too much!" ”

If it weren't for Fu Han's shot, those Franc machine people wouldn't have paid attention to Fu Han, the envoy, because they were looking at Shen Xi, who was writing and painting with a strange stick, thinking that Shen Xi was planning something terrible.

The leader of the Franc machine glanced at Fu Han, and suddenly said something, and the translator of Spur Plus changed his face as soon as he heard it.

Fu Han hurriedly asked, "What did he say...... Tell me, what did he say? It's against him, dare to be rude to us in the realm of the Ming Dynasty! ”

The people next to him hurriedly persuaded Fu Han to dissipate his anger, and when Fu Han sat down, the translator of the Siyi Pavilion cautiously whispered: "Lord Shangshu, those Fanbang people ask, who are you......"

Fu Han was very annoyed when he heard this, I asked people to introduce you just now, it was a waste of effort, right?

"Tell them who I am!"

Shen Xi held the pen and didn't know whether to memorize this paragraph.

Perhaps it was the arrogance of these Francophiles that annoyed Fu Dashangshu, Fu Han came with the emperor's order, but he didn't know how to get along with the envoys of Fanbang, and shouted that others thought that the negotiations had broken down.

Shen Xi was thinking about things, and as soon as he looked up, a group of Francophiles on the opposite side looked at him with a swipe in his heart, and he quickly lowered his head again.

It is very irrational to steal the limelight of the Ministry of Rites here...... Shen Xi is a Hanlin official, and it is likely that he will work under Fu Han in the future.

However, let's see if you Fu Dashangshu can live until the day I enter the Ministry of Rites, look at your age, it is estimated that you will not have a few years to live, even if you don't die, it is estimated that you will be able to die by then.

What's the point of fighting over and over all your age?

Wait for Fu Han to straighten out his breath, sit down and re-enter the negotiation process.

But the Francophile recognized the reason for death, we are here to pay the ransom to ransom people, and we can take out a part of it as a tribute, but one yard is one yard, and let the people go first.

In this way, the negotiations reached an impasse.

"Lord Shangshu, why don't you take a look...... Is today's meeting over for now? Honglu Temple Shaoqing Li Qi asked.

Fu Han is a person who wants to save face, and the emperor sent him one of the seven kings of the Ministry of Rites to receive the envoys of the Buddha Langji, which is obviously overkill, but if he can't complete the errand smoothly, it means that his ability is seriously inconsistent with his current official position, and it will not necessarily cause the dissatisfaction of Emperor Hongzhi, and he will be reprimanded, and he will be embarrassed and thrown to Java.

"Tell them that it's okay to redeem people."

In the end, Fu Han gave in, he felt that these Fanbang people might be uncivilized and brainless...... You are happy to pat the emperor's sycophants, and you are still afraid that the court will not let you go? But it's useless to reason with these barbarians, the most important thing is to deal with the emperor.

"The tributes must be listed and the numbers clear."

Fu Han has his wishful thinking...... What if you are promised a ransom for you, you fools? Now that you are in the capital of my Ming Dynasty, and there is no powerful Buddha cannon against the city gate, even if we deduct all the gold and silver, you can only consider yourself unlucky!

Besides, I wrote to the court and said that this is a tribute, and you can't read Chinese characters anyway, and when we get the ransom, people will put it back, it's one thing!

The Franc machine man turned a deaf ear to what Fu Han said, and looked at Shen Xi from time to time, and finally even Fu Han noticed that something was not quite right, are these Franc machine people all cross-eyed, and they can't see clearly if they don't squint?

"My lord, the people of Fanbang said, they ...... They asked Shen Yude to take a stand. When the translator translated the words of the Francophile, Shen Xi wanted to avoid it again, but he couldn't avoid it.

The main thing is that the Francophiles are waiting a little impatiently, they were supposed to do a difficult bargaining negotiation with the "young and miserly conspirators of the Ming Dynasty", but this "conspirator" appeared at the negotiation site, but sat there writing and drawing.

At first, Franc Machine thought that it might be that Shen Xi's status was too high and he needed someone else to come out to endorse him, so he barely coped with it, but who knew that Shen Xi had not spoken, which made Franc Machine feel that he was being teased.

Fu Han turned around and looked at Shen Xi, who was sitting on the side of the long table with a pen to record, and then looked at the eyes of the Franc machine...... But no, people don't look at me, the book, but the little champion Shen Xi.

Fu Han's heart was full of puzzlement, I am a dignified scholar of the Ministry of Rites, one of the Seven Secretaries, what is my status? You don't look for me, but you go to ask a five- or six-grade scholar from the Hanlin Academy and the Zhan Mansion to express their position, what kind of song is this? So I asked the translator to ask for the reason, and the Franco machine over there was also real, and the answer was simple and straightforward.

"Lord Shangshu, the people of Fanbang said that it was Shen Yude who defeated them, and it was Shen Yude who personally led people to take them down and escort them to the capital...... Now if we want to redeem people, we must get Shen Yude's approval, otherwise, they will not believe in our sincerity. When the interpreter said this, he trembled.

Isn't this nonsense, who doesn't know this Shen Zhuangyuan, the thirteen-year-old champion, and now he is a lecturer in the East Palace, when did he fight with the Buddha Lang Jiren?

Shen Xi's exploits in Quanzhou Mansion were deliberately concealed by the imperial court, and the main reason was that the imperial court did not want to publicize Shen Xi's merits, so as not to leak the fact that the local officials had accepted bribes from the Francophiles and caused the people to be plundered and slaughtered.

Besides, Shen Xi is a teenager and a civil servant, and if he exaggerates things, it will make the soldiers of the three armies dissatisfied...... We fought bloody battles on the battlefield, but the imperial court rewarded a young civil servant for his military exploits, what ability did he have better than us?

So in the end, Shen Xiguan was promoted to one level as a reward!

But Fu Han knew about this matter, Shen Xi was ordered to go to Quanzhou on an errand, turning Quanzhou Mansion upside down, this matter was a bit big at the beginning of the year, and several court discussions were reversed, which was impressive, and there was nothing that the officials who could participate in the court meeting did not know.

Fu Han said: "Shen Yude, it's up to you to negotiate with the Fanbang people." ”

Shen Xi had no choice but to stand up in front of everyone, and at the same time, those Francophiles also stood up together, startling the negotiators on the Ming Dynasty's side.

Especially Fu Han, who has been a justice of the peace for a long time, thought that the Franc machine man was going to be tough, so he was so frightened that he stepped back, and almost sat down on the ground with a butt, and when he calmed down a little, he realized that these Franc machine people were not showing off their might, but on the contrary, they all had a look of surprise on their faces.

It turned out that these Franco-mechanical people thought that Shen Yude was going to be unfavorable to them, so they stood up and took precautions!

"Interesting, interesting."

Fu Han stroked his beard with a smile.

Fu Han began to act impatient, not because of his personality.

Because Fu Han felt that the Franco machine man was too arrogant and rude, and at the same time, the Franc machine artillery was too deterrent to him, he thought that these Franc machine people had such powerful artillery, they must be more barbaric and ferocious than the Tatars, if he didn't show a little stronger, then he couldn't show the majesty of the Ming envoy.

Now he knew that the Franc machine man had long been scared by the Ming army, and he was also scared when he saw a weak young man like Shen Xi, and his trembling appearance was not pretended.

Shen Xi was watched by everyone present at this time, a little embarrassed, and said to Franco: "Your Excellency, how about this, turn the ransom into a tribute, and present a letter of honor to my court, and then we will release the people, and the two countries will ......make friends in the future."

Li Qi, the young secretary of Honglu Temple, hurriedly reminded: "Shen Yude, didn't Fu Shangshu say this condition before?" These Fanbang people will not agree! ”

As soon as Li Qi's voice fell, the Franco machine over there nodded his head, and the interpreter listened to them, and quickly translated: "The envoy of Fanbang agreed." ”

"Huh?"

In a word, the officials of the Ming court present did not know why.

Fu Han talked for a long time, but those Francophone people just didn't accept it, and said what kind of bullshit principle this was.

Why are the principles they insist on not worth mentioning here in Shen Xi?

Fu Han said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then the two sides will draw up the national credentials, and after signing them, I will take them to Your Majesty for the imperial review." ”

Thinking of being able to make a smooth delivery to Emperor Hongzhi, Fu Han was a little happy on his face, and the more he looked at Shen Xi, the more satisfied he became...... It seems that it makes sense to bring Shen Xi to negotiate, because these Francophiles are not recognized by others, so they recognize him as a little hero who scared the barbarians!

My Emperor Shengming!

Shen Xi just relied on one sentence to make the Franc machine man readily agree, the Franc machine man originally strongly asked the Ming court to release the people first, but he didn't squeak at this time, but stared at Shen Xi all the time, afraid that Shen Xi was doing some conspiracy again, and suddenly made trouble.

When drafting the national credentials, Li Yi leaned over and asked Shen Xi in a low voice: "Shen Yude, what happened to these Francophone people?" ”

Shen Xi spread his hands and said, "I don't know." ”

Li Qi thought to himself, I can't let go of such an interesting thing, I must faithfully record the truth of the matter and report it to the emperor.

The negotiation was completed, the national credentials were successfully drawn up, and after the Franc machine was signed, they all looked at Shen Xi in the end, and they had to wait for Shen Xi's signature before they could rest assured.

After Shen Xi signed, they breathed a sigh of relief, and it was the turn of the Ming court to send someone to calculate the number of tributes again, and then put all the tributes together, and those rare treasures would be sent to the palace as soon as possible and handed over to Emperor Hongzhi for inspection.

Often, when the Gentiles paid tribute, the palace would be very lively, because even the wealthy emperors wanted to know what good things the Gentiles had offered.

This time, the "tribute" of the Francophone people is indeed generous, they almost smashed the pot and sold iron in order to redeem people, many things are not seen by the Ming Dynasty, such as the clockwork clock that has just been invented in Europe, which is much more advanced than the Ming Dynasty such as sundials, hourglasses and other timing devices.

After the letter of state was signed, Fu Han left the main seat, came to Shen Xi's side, and asked, "Shen Yude, how about entering the palace with the old man?" ”

Shen Xi didn't expect Fu Han to take the initiative to invite him into the palace together, this kind of honor is not common, but he still quickly rejected the other party's kindness...... The emperor sent Fu Han to be the envoy, but he just came to observe, even if he had merit, he couldn't take credit.

Fu Han smiled, not reluctantly, and hurriedly took the national letter into the palace to see Emperor Hongzhi, so that the foreign tribute, sent so many gold and silver coins and rare things at one time, he can smoothly deal with the difference, and at the same time, he said that there may not be a reward.

As for the matter of settling the Buddha Langjiren, it is naturally the responsibility of the people of the Tongtong Hall and the Honglu Temple.

"Shen Yude, what do you think these people should arrange?" Li Qi, as the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, was a little weak at this time by those Buddha Lang people, this matter was a little strange, he couldn't make up his mind, so he had to come over and ask Shen Xi, as if he regarded Shen Xi as a Shangguan.

Shen Xi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This place will be handed over to Li Shaoqing, and the next official will go back first." ”

"Don't go."

Li Qi felt that he had no confidence, and was about to keep Shen Xi, but after seeing that Shen Xi left the hall, those Franco-machine people were relieved, their faces changed from tight to relaxed, and finally sat down with a long sigh of relief, as if they had gotten rid of the nightmare, Li Qi couldn't help but wonder again about what Shen Xi had done to make these barbarians so afraid.
