The New Year is approaching, and with the growing strength of the Ming Empire, the Rite Domain, which has been silent for many years, is lively again.

Those who can live in the courtyard of the Li Domain are all vassals or friends of the Ming Dynasty, but after Yongle, the Ming Dynasty is getting tired, and the surrounding vassal states who are accustomed to seeing the wind and rudder have rarely come to pay tribute.

This year, it is not good, the once powerful Dajin Kingdom was driven out of Liaodong and ran to the Korean Peninsula to survive, and the arrogant Mongolian tribes also surrendered to the feet of the Ming Dynasty, and even the sparsely populated place on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau appeared the iron cavalry of the Ming army.

All this shows that the Ming Empire has regained its position at the top of the world, and if it doesn't perform at this time, it may be liquidated by the cautious Ye Gonggong.

And the monarchs of the vassal kingdoms all know that the Ming Dynasty has never treated tributary envoys badly, and now that the Ming Dynasty is rich, wouldn't the gifts in return be more generous?

It's just that these clowns don't know that now the real person of the Ming Dynasty, Ye Gonggong, is a Pixiu, and he wants to take away something, but I'm sorry, the rules of the Ming Dynasty have changed.

There are envoys who come to find cheap, and naturally they really come with a request, and the first one to find Ye Xun is Huang Taiji's envoy An Fei Guyang.

Ye Xun couldn't live in the palace all the time, so he returned to his mansion in the capital the next night, entered the mansion with his front foot, and before he could sit down, An Fei Guyang arrived.

After listening to the guard's report, Ye Xun couldn't help but be surprised, this guy was well-informed enough, and he actually came to the door so quickly.

According to the plan, Ye Xun was going to meet with the cabinet ministers tomorrow, but fortunately, this was not a confidential matter, so he ordered someone to invite An Fei Guyang to the meeting room.

An Fei Guyang originally wanted to come to see Ye Xun again in a day or two, so as not to make Ye Xun suspicious, but when he learned the news that Li Qi had come to find Ye Xun in person, he couldn't sit still.

Although the Jurchens have occupied the vast majority of territory in Korea, the resistance forces led by Li Ju are like Xiaoqiang who cannot be defeated, and they cannot be eliminated even if Huang Taiji uses all kinds of means.

Later, Huang Taiji was almost satisfied, this Li Liang was simply a piece of gummy candy stuck to his throat, he couldn't swallow it and couldn't deduct it, how annoying it was.

Huang Taiji and his subordinates all knew that if this piece of rubber candy was helped by Ye Xun again, it was very likely to turn into a deadly poison.

Ye Xun didn't know the news of Li Xun's coming, so he changed his clothes and went to the living room, but he saw An Fei Guyang waiting at the door, and when he saw Ye Xun from afar, he bowed down and gave a salute, and the etiquette was very good.

If you are courteous, you must ask for something, so that Ye Xun will not be confused by his performance.

"Huh! Lord Anfeiguyan, we meet again, I haven't seen Brother Huang Taiji for a long time, I don't know how good he has been? After the New Year, take time out and say anything to see him."

Looking at Ye Xun's grinning expression, An Fei Guyang resisted the idea of rushing up and beating him, and said with a smile: "The lord of my family also misses his father-in-law very much, if my father-in-law has time to go, the lord of my family will definitely welcome him."

"The lord of the country? When did Huang Taiji become the lord of Joseon? ”

Ye Xun turned his face faster than he turned a book, just now he was still full of spring breeze, and in a blink of an eye, there was a frost under his eyes.

This question is a bit difficult to answer, because in the past, North Korea has always been a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, and after being occupied by Huang Taiji, the Ming court headed by Ye Xun has been pretending to be confused, so that Huang Taiji has not been able to justify his aggression until now, and this is the main purpose of An Fei Guyang's trip.

Fortunately, Comrade Lao An has rich diplomatic experience, and he was not asked by Ye Xun, and after a little hesitation, he said: "My father-in-law may still know that the former Korean lord Gwanghaejun has given the throne to my Khan, so the current Korean lord is my Khan, in order to show respect for the Celestial Empire, the country name is still the original Korea."

"So, Huang Taiji also recognized Korea as a vassal state of my Ming Dynasty?"

"Uh, this, yes!"

"Since it is admitted that I belong to the Ming Dynasty, can such a big matter of the Zen position be approved by our court?"

Although he was mentally prepared before he came, when he really faced Ye Xun's aggressiveness, it was still difficult for ordinary people to withstand that kind of coercion.

Unconsciously, sweat drops were already forming on An Fei Guyang's forehead, although he wanted to say that this was not your father-in-law Ye acquiescing! But this is something that cannot be said in any way.

Ye Xun saw that it was almost over, and if he continued to be persecuted like this, he could only break up in the end and get no benefits.

"Actually! It's not that things are non-negotiable, huh! So be it! First of all, I will offer one million taels of silver to my Ming every year, secondly, North Korea must not have a fleet, and finally, Huang Taiji must be proton in the capital of Daming, if these three conditions can be met, this prince can propose this matter to His Majesty and the cabinet, I don't know Lord An Fei Guyang, what do you think? ”

An Feigu said in his heart, if he didn't know that he couldn't beat you, he would have pinched you to death.

Before coming, Huang Taiji had given him carte blanche to say, and the first and second articles Ye Xun said were easy to say.

Giving silver is a must, there is no free lunch in the world, as for the fleet, the Jurchens have actually been engaged in it all along, and the location of the shipyard this time is not in North Korea at all, but a port further north, very secretive, before the fleet is opened, let alone the North Koreans, even the average Jurchen high-level does not know, so this article can also be temporarily agreed.

Only the last one he can't be the master, because after all, it involves the boss's son, and the boss can say yes or no.

Then he nodded and said: "Father-in-law will wait a while, and the foreign minister will go back to repair the book of my lord, I believe that the lord of the country will definitely give my father-in-law a satisfactory answer."

Why is this guy so happy to agree?

is not the same as An Fei Guyang thought, Ye Xun believes that with Huang Taiji's personality, he doesn't care that his son will be held hostage in Beijing, and in terms of silver, what really makes Ye Xun puzzled is the fleet.

There was early information that the Jurchens were building a shipyard to build a fleet, but the Weizi battalion, together with Li Liang and other Korean locals, were about to rummage through North Korea, and they didn't find the shipyard there.

Although An Fei Guyang did not directly agree to Ye Xun's conditions now, he knew from his expression that he could call the shots in some things, and how could he dare to agree to such a big thing as promising not to own a fleet? Unless there's something else in there.

After sending away An Fei Guyan, Ye Xun sat alone in the hall, touching his chin and pondering for a while, and was about to send a letter to Sun Dong, who had already rushed to Liaodong again, when he looked up, he saw Dolgon hesitantly walking in.

I thought that when Dolgon saw An Fei Guyan, hatred swelled up in his heart again, and he couldn't help laughing: "Do you miss your mother again?" By the way, you haven't been back to Liaodong for two years, right? Go back after the New Year and give your mother a sweep of the tomb."

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, originally Ye Xun had a god-like existence in Dolgon's heart, but now listening to Ye Xun say this, he thought that Ye Xun knew that a family member was looking for him, and subconsciously knelt on the ground.

"Master forgives sins, disciples and disciples know that they are wrong..."
