Chapter 545: Solution
At this time, Zhu Changluo was interested, you know, logically speaking, the Ming Dynasty's complete victory this time should be the right thing to ask for from the Japanese State, but he never thought that there was a problem in the peace talks that even Shi Xing himself could not solve?
"Who is the one who came forward this time?"
Zhu Changluo frowned and asked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Back to His Royal Highness, it is Toyotomi Hideyoshi's youngest son Toyotomi Hideyoshi, this son is the heir of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but he is only six years old, so in fact, the person who presided over the peace talks is the five old chief Tokugawa Ieyasu of the Wa Kingdom, Shi Shangshu proposed in the peace talks, this war, I Da Ming spent a lot of money, and asked the Wa State to pay tribute of 20 million taels of silver to make up for military expenses in addition to surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, but Tokugawa Ieyasu did not agree......"
Obviously, Xu Hongwu knew a lot about this matter, and when he saw Zhu Changluo asking, he didn't hide it, so he opened his mouth and said it carefully.
However, Zhu Changluo was slightly surprised.
"How dare Tokugawa Ieyasu disagree?"
The so-called people have to bow their heads under the eaves, this principle applies everywhere, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Zhu Changluo has heard of it, the person who succeeded Toyotomi Hideyoshi as the real controller of the Wa Kingdom, can be regarded as a scheming figure.
There is no doubt that this man was a smart man, in the heyday of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he was obedient and submissive, and was regarded by Toyotomi Hideyoshi as one of the most loyal and trustworthy courtiers, but as soon as Toyotomi Hideyoshi died, it didn't take long for him to seek to usurp the throne, overthrow Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and become the controller of the Wa Kingdom, which shows his people's minds.
And the biggest advantage of a smart person is to understand the situation and understand the current affairs, at this moment, the strength of the Wa Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty, it should be said that Tokugawa Ieyasu has no right to refuse at all.
"Yes, Tokugawa Ieyasu agreed to all the conditions proposed by Shi Shangshu, but only had some objections to the compensation of 20 million taels of silver, he said that Toyotomi Hideyoshi had been reckless in the military over the years, and the Japanese country had already complained, in order to make up the military expenses of this war, the Japanese country also drained the family, so 20 million taels of silver, it was really unbearable!"
Xu Hongwu nodded and said helplessly.
Although he didn't know why the imperial court allocated such a huge amount of military spending in this war, it must be very difficult, and it must be very difficult to use the Ming Dynasty to make a big deal with it, not to mention that a small Japanese country, to support hundreds of thousands of troops, must have exhausted the wealth of the country.
Xu Hongwu believed this, not only him, but even Shi Xing, who presided over the peace talks, was slightly shaken, if he didn't know the inside story of this war and understand the source of this silver, I'm afraid Shi Xing would not insist on not reducing the amount of compensation.
"That's bold!"
Unexpectedly, Zhu Changluo sneered and said disdainfully.
"Wang An, you go back and send a message to Shi Shangshu on behalf of the palace, and ask him to say to Natokugawa Ieyasu, it doesn't matter if you can't afford to lose the silver, let their Iwami silver mine out, give me ten years of time, and the silver will be written off!"
"Huh? Your Highness, this ...... That's not right......"
Wang An was suddenly shocked and stammered.
Peace talks are a major event in the imperial court, so I have to ask the emperor anyway! What kind of stone silver mine is this, if it is lost, then the responsibility is all Zhu Changluo's.
However, Zhu Changluo waved his hand.
"This palace asks you to pass the word, you will go, Tokugawa Ieyasu, this guy, is an old treacherous and cunning person, and now it is just relying on us not to understand the situation of the Japanese country, and we are just deceiving Shi Shangshu, you just follow the words of this palace, then Tokugawa Ieyasu will never hand over the silver mine!"
"Yes, slave and maid!"
Wang An lowered his head and said with a puzzled expression.
However, Zhu Changluo's actions made Xu Hongwu and Xu Wenbi on the side a little confused, but they naturally knew what to ask and what not to ask, so they just sat aside and drank tea, just as if they didn't see anything.
However, after Zhu Changluo finished instructing Wang An, he turned his head and said with a smile.
"I would like to thank Gongzi Xu this time, if it weren't for Gongzi to tell me the inside of the palace, I'm afraid that my Daming will be deceived by the Japanese people again!"
Xu Wenbi hurriedly arched his hand.
"Your Highness is polite, little nonsense, it's a good thing that your Highness hasn't been annoyed, thank you really don't dare to take it!"
Saying this, Xu Wenbi's heart couldn't help but beat a little drum, it stands to reason that this Zhu Changluo should have come here for the Duke of Wei, but after entering the mansion for so long, he never mentioned business, and he didn't know what his idea was.
"Speaking of which, the Dingguo Mansion is so full of talents, which is also the envy of this palace! It's a pity that I haven't seen the son, the government and the opposition have been circulated, the son of the world is literary and talented, and he is the proud son of Grandpa Xu, but today I feel that Hongwu is not losing the son of the world, and the Dingguo Mansion has these two sons, and it will continue to prosper! ”
Zhu Changluo said to himself, and between his words, he intentionally or unintentionally mentioned Xu Hongwen, the son of Dingguo Gong.
Sure enough, listening to Zhu Changluo repeatedly mentioning Xu Hongwen, Xu Wenbi's face was slightly embarrassed, and there was even a trace of loss between his eyebrows, and he said in a loud voice.
"Your Highness has an overreputation, Xiao'er deserves such praise from His Highness!"
"It's not praise, this palace just doesn't understand, why are they both descendants of the King of Zhongshan, the two sons are talented, but some people don't care about the general situation, only care about selfish interests, and I don't know if the King of Zhongshan is in the spirit of the sky, and when he sees such an unscrupulous descendant stealing a high position, will the heroic spirit be disturbed!"
Zhu Changluo's sudden solemn tone made Xu Wenbi startled, and at the same time, his heart became nervous, did he finally start to get to the point?
"Your Highness forgives me, my distant nephew is young and reckless, impulsive and reckless, and has done many wrong things, and the ministers apologize to His Highness on his behalf, please be magnanimous and don't blame him!"
"Grandpa Xu has been in the court for many years, and he should know that there are some things that cannot be done, not because the palace has to hold on to it, but there are some mistakes that cannot be made!"
Zhu Changluo changed his gentle tone and said coldly.
Xu Wenbi's eyes suddenly narrowed, and his expression became cold, what kind of identity is he, even if Zhu Changluo is the prince, but he is so low-voiced, the other party is still holding on, it is a little too much!
However, Zhu Changluo continued as if he hadn't seen it.
"Actually, why did Grandpa Xu go to such great lengths for something that didn't make it? Such descendants, don't let the Xu family do it! If it was for him that he was involved in the Dingguo Mansion, would he have to pay for the loss? ”
"This doesn't bother His Highness, the Dingguo Mansion and the Wei Mansion are in the same vein, and they are in the same vein, and the ministers can't sit back and watch something happen to the Wei Mansion!"
Xu Wenbi's face was a little ugly, and he said.
However, what Xu Wenbi didn't expect was that Zhu Changluo smiled and said.
"Grandpa Xu misunderstood, this palace has no intention of targeting the Duke of Wei, but the Duke of Wei is the representative of the relatives, and it is really inappropriate to let such an ignorant Huangkou child steal a high position!"
Looking at the sudden change in Zhu Changluo's face, Xu Wenbi was not a fool, thinking of Zhu Changluo's various performances after entering the mansion, a thought suddenly popped up in his heart, and his mouth was suddenly a little dry, but he could still maintain his composure on his face, and said.
"Your Highness laughed, the Xu family has a long lineage, and there is only one descendant of Hongji......"
"So what this palace means is to select a person with both ability and political integrity from the other rooms of the lineage to take over the position of Duke of Wei!"
Zhu Changluo smiled, but his eyes fell on Xu Hongwu's body intentionally or unintentionally......
