Prince Zhencheng's Chinese pronunciation seems very stiff, but his four prostrations are quite in place.

The so-called "three kneels and nine bows" is a mutated cultural phenomenon alienated in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, before thousands of years of Chinese civilization history has never been "three kneels and nine bows" said, to worship must kneel, do not kneel how to worship? The nine prostrations in Chinese history refer to nine kinds of prostrations, the highest etiquette is four prostrations, and there are eight prostrations on some specific occasions, but there is no such thing as nine prostrations. The heaviest of the nine types of prostrations is the shou, followed by the sudden, and the difference between the two is that the former touches the ground with his forehead and stops for a while; The latter starts as soon as the forehead touches the ground, and does not stop.

Prince Zhencheng performed the highest and heaviest prostration, the four times.

The emperor's expression was gone, and an excited smile appeared at the corner of his mouth and rippled down his cheeks. "Flat, give a feast."

The Japanese courtier's salute, which is quite limited to the loss of the dignity of the Japanese imperial family, but it is of great significance to thicken the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, in addition, it has formed a huge collateral effect, that is, to make the young son of heaven on the throne appear extremely holy!

Before Zhu Qiming entered the palace, the emperor appointed the assistant minister to take care of the Zhengdan banquet, but because the Japanese disturbed the situation, the scene was almost out of control. After Zhu Qiming entered the palace, the emperor decided to compete in martial arts, but as a result, the Japanese side became a minister, and a doomed thing turned into a long-faced thing, which made the emperor a young hero. Compared with the emperor's wisdom, the incompetence of the auxiliary ministers will be multiplied and highlighted in front of hundreds of officials.

The Japanese did not stay to enjoy the exquisite court meals of the Ming Dynasty, and they obviously did not want to be an alternative in front of a large crowd of people dressed in Chinese costumes, so they resigned with interest. Perhaps, the purpose of their trip is not simple, they still have serious things to do, and they don't care whether they can satisfy their appetites.

When the Japanese left, Wang Zhen turned to face the emperor, as if he was afraid that someone in the hall would not be able to hear, and raised his voice to a very exaggerated level. "My Emperor Shengming! His Majesty decided on the matter of martial arts, and the Ming Dynasty won in a dignified manner, allowing the stubborn people to voluntarily surrender and dissolve the chaos into invisibility. The community is very fortunate, the people are very fortunate, and the Ming Dynasty has the holy lord of the Ming Dynasty! ”

When the five assistant ministers heard this, their expressions were different. The British public Zhang Fu is a martial artist, and he has always been ostracized among a group of civil officials, so he is more like a nominal auxiliary minister; Hu Hui relied on the secret mission of Emperor Yongle back then, far inferior to Yang Shiqi in terms of learning and practice, difficult to look at Yang Rongxiang in terms of strategy and decision-making, and not as good as Yang Pu in terms of people, so he will be low-key and slightly detached; Yang Pu has a gentleman's style that is as gentle as jade and gentle and elegant, and he is not commendable, but he happens to be left and right in the officialdom, and at this moment he still has a smiling face, as if he is sincerely admiring the wise young master.

Only Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong are particularly prominent, and they have to accept everyone's scrutiny and secret slander. Yang Shiqi, the cabinet assistant, had a complicated meaning in his eyes, and Yang Rong's face was not angry but there was a trace of embarrassment that could not be concealed.

In fact, today's events can't be completely blamed on Eryang. After the Battle of Jingjing, the Yongle Emperor was anxious to let Wanbang recognize the legitimacy of his Ninety-Five, and agreed to the request of the Japanese to explore trade and envoys, and was very tolerant of the Japanese side, which alleviated Japan's predicament, but let the Ming Dynasty make a pot of raw rice, all because the Japanese tribute was nondescript, and repeatedly did not abide by the regulations of the Ming Dynasty. The alternative style of the Japanese side has been followed to this day, and in this regard, later generations of important ministers did not dare to rashly clean up the source.

However, who cares about these at this moment? They only knew that the young man made his move, and the young prince made a move, and the mess was settled, and the matter was as simple as that!

The emperor stepped down from the throne and accepted the congratulations of the envoys of various countries and the praise of hundreds of officials with a spring breeze on his face.

"Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty."

Just when many people walked towards Zhu Qiming with a smile, Zhu Qiming picked up the crown robe on the ground and left the Fengtian Hall with a smoke.

People are precious in knowing how to advance and retreat, at this time, how can he steal the limelight of the Son of Heaven!

The stars are bright, it is better to be alone in the moon!

Two attendants greeted Zhu Qiming and waited for Zhu Qiming to be dressed neatly, Zhu Qiming didn't want to stay outside the gate of Fengtian Palace, so he hurried to Qingning Palace.

It is nightfall, and the lanterns in the palace are all shining, reflecting the clean palace road and the snow outside the road. The cold wind hit, and Zhu Qiming couldn't feel the slightest chill. The pride in the chest is still there, urging a warm blood, warming the whole body.

The music on the side of Fengtian Hall was loud, floating from afar, and finally diluted the remaining sword light and sword shadow in Zhu Qiming's mind, and brought a grand scene of Chengping with singing and dancing to him, at this moment, he felt dazed.

Whatever! Go back to eat and sleep enough, wake up, and welcome yourself with a new tomorrow!

He quickened his pace, but saw a figure flickering at the fork in the road, and Princess Changde appeared, followed by a group of female officials and palace maids.

Princess Changde came to Zhu Qiming's side with a smile, "Congratulations, King Yue." ”

"You should congratulate the emperor." Zhu Qiming said lightly.

"Who would dare to underestimate the royal family this time!" Princess Changde was excited, and suddenly changed her words, pretending to be deep: "For the Japanese, after all, it only involves face, and everything is not big, but the Warat people make people look particularly unhappy." I remember that all the envoys of all states have a fixed number, and the number of envoys should not exceed seven at most, but just now I saw nearly 100 Warat envoys standing in the palace, and there was a large area of Wuyang, this time the Ming Dynasty must give a lot of rewards, and suffer a big loss! ”

Warats? Zhu Qiming was a little surprised, thinking that he only cared about finding the Japanese, but ignored the Warat people, if the Warat people really came nearly a hundred people, it would be tantamount to blackmail in disguise! Because the envoys of the Wanbang Dynasty came to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty for nothing, there were so many tributes, and the rewards of the Ming Dynasty were extremely heavy, never letting all the nations suffer, and rewarding them according to the head, nearly 100 people? How much does that cost? It's better to let the Warat people not come, and just send a sum of silver to Warat! lest you have to eat and drink well all the way, and eat the expenses of a royal mansion for several months!

Princess Changde opened her mouth again: "I know that you have suffered the losses of the Warat people, so when you see the Warat people, you get angry!" Eh, what is your best plan against the Warats? ”

"Now I don't hear anything outside the window, and I only read the books of the sages, and besides, how can I talk too much about the things in the temple? You'd better ask the assistant minister. ”

"I don't ask them! Look, the assistant minister is very polite to the Warat people, and his heart is panicked! ”

Zhu Qiming looked at Princess Changde quietly for a while, his eyes swept to the waiters, female officials, and palace maids on the side, and everyone avoided them in the distance.

"I have thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and my products are prosperous, so I guess the assistant minister thinks that plucking a few hairs can satisfy the appetite of the Warat people."

Princess Changde pursed her lips, "Don't think that I don't know anything because I don't read much." No matter how rich the Ming Dynasty is, it can't stop other people's desires, and there will always be times when it is difficult to continue. ”

"Don't they have a plan to make amend? If Warat wants to turn his face with Daming next month, they may persuade the emperor to do this trick, marry someone and settle the world, which is really wonderful! Eh, princess, it seems that you are the only princess in this Forbidden City who is waiting in the word pavilion, hehe, maybe one day you will be overjoyed! ”

Princess Changde suddenly froze, "They dare!" With a grin, there seemed to be tears in his eyes, "They dare to come up with such a poisonous plan, I ······ I'll settle accounts with you! Then he turned around and walked away, looking back on the way and saying, "You give me a little care, in case something goes wrong in the court, I can't spare you!" ”

Is the joke too much? Looking at Princess Changde's pitiful appearance, Zhu Qiming felt a little unbearable.

When he returned to Qingning Palace, he saw the Empress Dowager sitting alone with her eyes closed, and there was no one around him, Zhu Qiming immediately realized that the Empress Dowager was waiting for his arrival.

stepped forward to greet Anli, and saw the Empress Dowager slowly open her eyes. "Finally back. You must be quite proud of the big scene in the Fengtian Temple, right? ”

Zhu Qiming was a little proud, but after being baptized by this light tone, his heart sank. "How dare the minister be proud! Sun Tzu said: 'Those who are good at fighting in the past are invincible first, and then they can be defeated by the enemy. 'It is unwise for the minister to fail to make himself invincible, to rush into battle, and to almost miss. ”

The Empress Dowager shook her head slowly, and her slightly cloudy eyes did not know how many years of smoke and clouds had been collected, "First of all, it is invincible, and then the enemy can be defeated, well said!" The imperial grandmother only looks at the general trend, you helped the emperor get the glory of Wushang, in comparison, how incompetent the auxiliary ministers are! If you succeed, you are already invincible, and you will be invincible. The emperor's sage is connected with you, without you, how can the emperor's sage come from? So, the emperor and you can be called a monarch and a minister, you don't have to worry about becoming an outcast, and then, it's time to do it, right? ”

Zhu Qiming's heart was pounding, and he wanted to make a defense, but suddenly found that under the cloudy gaze of the Empress Dowager, all the defenses seemed extremely funny!

"I'm sure you're still hungry, so let's go eat." The Empress Dowager got up, nodded a few points on the ground with a cane, but did not speak, turned around and walked towards the inner room, muttering on the way: "It is better to bear the pulsatilla than to bully the young man!" Unfortunately, most of the people in the world are ignorant. ”

Zhu Qiming was stunned there, and there was a doubt in his heart: Do it? No, it seems that there is something missing!

At this time, Kim Young bowed down and walked in.

"His Royal Highness the King of Yue, the Emperor will send His Royal Highness to the Yongsu Palace."
