Chapter 527: Blue-Eyed Cockatoos

With the first one, there will naturally be a second, after the king of Ceylon, Stans, who had proposed to build an 'embassy' in the king's capital, followed closely behind and saluted Zhu Di:

"Your Majesty the Emperor Ming, although the Western Kingdom is an island country, the surrounding waters are adjacent to the Ming Dynasty...... My Western Kingdom is willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, be a minister every year, pay tribute every year, and be willing to protect my Ming Dynasty in the seaside of the Pingping! ”

is worthy of being Daming's doglegs, opening and closing his mouth is 'I Daming', this kind of person is really a natural sycophant. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Monka and Staines on Zhu Di's Table. Bai', it can be said that all the remaining past has been pushed out, they are now unavoidable, and they must express their wishes to Daming in public, otherwise it will be difficult to survive.

"Your Majesty the Emperor Ming......"

People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, and now they are already a group of kings who are difficult to ride tigers, so they can only choose to surrender.

Of course, it's just a verbal promise, and they don't want to be like Monka and Stans, who have already prepared a twist, so Zhu Di's attitude towards these people is also different from that of Monka and Stans.

"Your Majesty the Tang Emperor, this time the ministers are from Java, in addition to offering the most sincere greetings from the ministers, they also brought some rare things from my Java country, and I hope Your Majesty can like it!"

After everyone finally offered the final result, to Zhu Song's surprise, King Sparrow of Java was the first to jump out and present a gift to Zhu Dijin, which seemed to have been prepared for a long time.

Sparrow didn't look at everyone's expressions, but came to the door of the Fengtian Hall on his own and beckoned.

After a while, I saw a fair-skinned, very beautiful girl, holding two white bird-like creatures and walking in:

But I saw that the bird-shaped creature was about half a foot long, half a foot high, with a chubby body, snow-white feathers all over its body, a pale yellow crested crest on its little head, a black-gray beak that fluttered like its body, and a fan-shaped tail dragging behind its long body.

What is more surprising is that this bird-like creature has a circle of blue eyes, blinking, and very lively.

"Blue-eyed cockatoos!" Zhu Song's eyes widened, "It's a couple!" ”

Coincidentally, the reason why Zhu Song recognized this parrot was because he had taken over an escort mission in his previous life. The local tyrant who worshipped got a pair of rare blue-eyed cockatoos in England, and the local tyrant spent a lot of money and spent five million dollars to hire Zhu Song to escort the pair of parrots, the life of the local tyrant!

However, it stands to reason that this Java country is an ancient country in Southeast Asia, and its territory is mainly in the area of present-day Java Island, Indonesia. And the blue-eyed cockatoos, which are produced on the island of New Britain and the island of New Ireland in the Bismarck Islands on the east coast of Papua New Guinea, are not thousands of miles apart, how did he get this pair of parrots?

Looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, Sparrow also knew that everyone might not have seen this thing before, and a serious face showed a rare show of excitement, he pointed to the blue-eyed cockatoo and said:

"Your Majesty Emperor Ming, the name of this thing is called the blue-eyed cockatoos, which was captured by the prince of my Java country when he was out hunting, this parrot is extremely lively and well-behaved, and after being trained, it can speak some simple words!

"Oh? Can you give me a demo? ”

Zhu Di became interested for a while, this thing is the same as a starling, he can learn some human words, but the starling who can learn human words is not easy to cultivate, and there are not many in the Ming Royal Zoo.

Now it's easy to see a variety similar to starling, so naturally you have to listen to it first.

"Yes." Sparrow answered, turned his head to look at the parrot he brought, first whistled, successfully attracting the parrot's attention, and then snorted at Zhu Di, saying, "Long live my emperor, long live!" ”

The parrot blinked a pair of blue eyelids, looked at Zhu Di fixedly for a long time, and moved its beak: "Long live, long live!" ”

Nima, this voice is quite loud, and the civil and military ministers in the main hall were startled at first, and subconsciously roamed the world, trying to find the source of the speech, but they couldn't find it.

"My Emperor, long live!" At this moment, another crisp voice sounded.

"Hahaha, good, good, good!" Zhu Di immediately laughed, "King Sparrow, this blue-eyed cockatoo I love it very much, but King Sparrow has a heart, so I will accept this parrot!" ”

"Your Majesty, in addition to this pair of parrots, there are some other spiritual objects and rare things, and the ministers did not bring them to the palace, this is the list of tributes from my Java country." Sparrow took out a notebook without being humble or arrogant.

"Hooray." Zheng He walked down the dragon case, took the fold back, and handed it over to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di unceremoniously opened the fold and looked at it twice, his eyes lit up, and said: "Zheng He, the intended purpose: From today onwards, the Kingdom of Java will be given crowns and belts and clothes from the king and concubines. The ceremonial officer invited the king to see the prince's ceremony, and I gave him the prince's courtesy, and gave the king a guard of honor, a hand, and silverware...... Ten horses in silk clothes, ordered the Javanese royal family to attack the king. ”

Zhu Di's holy decree was shocked, and the civil and military ministers in the entire hall were shocked, what was written on the fold, and it actually made Long Live Lord directly crown his Javanese king and allow him to perform the prince's gift in Daming.

"Long live the subordinate Xie!" Sparrow also had a hint of shock on his face, which he didn't expect at all.

"Good, good!" The expression on Zhu Di's face was very cheerful, and he waved his hand and said, "You can stand to the side first." ”

Sparrow consciously stood on the right side, and saw that the kings of the rest of the countries were hot for a while, and said in his heart: This Sparrow is really lucky, it seems that he is obviously going to integrate into the rhythm of the Ming Dynasty!

"Your Majesty the Emperor Ming, the ...... of the Western Kingdom" "Long live the Lord, I ...... Siam"

Seeing that Sparrow was again blessed and rewarded, the kings of the other kingdoms all began to offer gifts.

"Zheng He, put away all these things!" After that, the time was no longer the same, from flying in the sky, running on the ground, living creatures swimming in the sea, to gold, silver, jewelry, and all kinds of treasures, Zhu Di did not refuse to come, and accepted all these things that were sent.

It's just that there aren't many cases like the one that rewarded Sparrow, only the seven or eight kings.

At present, there are no less than forty chests piled up in the Fengtian Hall, and judging from the ones that are opened, there is no gold or silver, but it is full of pearls, corals, tortoiseshells, and jewels, which are worth tens of millions of taels of silver.

Fortunately, the courtiers in the Fengfengtian Hall are not nouveau riche turtles, although the contents of this box are greedy when they look at them, but they all understand that these have nothing to do with them, and it is useless to be greedy.

"To be able to pay tribute to such treasures, it seems that the kings are also bothered!" With so many treasures easily entered, Zhu Di was naturally in a very happy mood, he looked down and said, "Where is Honglu Temple?" ”

An elegant middle-aged man stood up, bowed down and said, "Honglu Temple Qing Hu Liyan, I've seen Long Live Lord!" ”

Honglu Temple is in charge of foreign tribute in the Ministry of Tibet, and Honglu Temple Qing is an official of the four products, and he is also a high-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty, so he is naturally qualified to attend the court meeting, of course, Honglu Temple is still under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites.

"Hu Qing's family is exempt." Zhu Di raised his right hand lightly and said: "Hu Qingjia, this time the kings of various countries led the royal families of various countries to come to my Ming Dynasty to participate in the feast of a hundred countries. By the way, the crown prince, the king of Han, and the king of Zhou, you can accompany you! ”

"Long live the will!" Hu Liyan, Zhu Gaochi and others all bowed to Zhu Di to receive the order.

These kings are not stupid, they naturally know that this is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty who is issuing an expulsion order, and the stimulation they are receiving today is not small, and they need to go back to digest and digest it, so they all saluted and said: "The ministers thank His Majesty the Emperor Ming for the gift!" ”

"Well, go down to the palace!" Zhu Di waved his hand and sent the kings to the palace.

……

Nanjing City, Han Wangfu, Zhu Song had just returned to the mansion, and before he had time to drink saliva, Zhu Gaochi took his son Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Hu and Zhu Youji to come together.

"Hahaha, Brother Song, didn't bother you, did you?" In the Chuhua Hall, people arrive before the sound arrives, and they are full of energy.

Zhu Song rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I said I didn't bother, do you believe it?" ”

"My nephew has seen Uncle Songhuang, and my grandson has seen Uncle Song!" Along with Zhu Hu, there were a few juniors.

"Alright, alright, get rid of those vulgar rites!" Zhu Song stood up and waved his hand, and at the same time ordered: "Serve tea, and bring some snacks, melons and fruits, it has been more than an hour, and this king is really a little hungry." ”

Hearing Zhu Song's instructions, naturally a maid served hot tea, melons, fruits, and snacks.

"Brother Hu, the prince, let's talk about it, you two have discussed it, right?" Zhu Song glanced at the two who were already on the chair and drank tea silently and said, "Don't tell this king, you two just met by chance. ”

"Of course not." Zhu Hu laughed when he heard this, "Honglu Temple is hosting the kings and royal families of the twenty states tonight, didn't the royal brother let us accompany you?" My brother came here to ask you when you planned to go! ”

"Believe in you to have a ghost!" Zhu Song muttered and said, "Go over early, and you have to take Miaomiao and Xuankun with you, after all, today's dinner is not only for the kings of various states, but also for their royal families." ”

As far as the states are concerned, Zhu Di proposed before that they should bring their respective queens, princes, and princesses, but it was not just a joke, they all complied, and they dragged their families one by one, and even brought their favorite sons and daughters who were ready to inherit the throne.

Zhu Song is now more and more convinced that Zhu Di is clearly a blind date for the royal family of the Ming Dynasty.

"Huh? Uncle Songhuang ......, "Zhu Gaochi is a little dumbfounded, he can still understand with the little guy, after all, it is not a formal court meeting, and it looks lively with children, but why do you want to bring Princess Han?"

"I know what you're trying to ask." Zhu Song waved his hand and said, "You forget, those kings of Fanbang came with their respective queens and favorite concubines, how can we entertain those ladies with our big men?" ”

Zhu Hu and Zhu Gaochi didn't expect this, and the expressions on their faces were obviously a little stunned.

"What else?" Zhu Song glanced at the two of them, "Say anything, don't hide it." ”

"Uncle Songhuang, what do you think is the intention of my father to teach us to accompany us?" Now that Zhu Song has already asked, Zhu Gaochi is simply not pretentious, "Why does my nephew think that my father has never said anything?" ”

"Oh?" Zhu Song raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Zhu Hu, and said, "Brother Hu, what do you think?" ”

"What do you mean by Brother Huang, do you want us to test these guys?" Zhu Hu was also a little hesitant.

"Temptation?" Zhu Song laughed and said, "What can you test them?" Today, in front of all the officials of our Ming Dynasty, they all expressed their submission one by one, what else did they test? Is it sincere? ”

"Isn't it?" Zhu Lu was stunned and said: "Judging from the situation in the early dynasty, except for a few kings of these Fanbangs, except for a few, such as Monka, Stans and the like, the rest of the people are not really submissive to my Daming, and the imperial brother asked us to accompany him, which is nothing more than to confirm it." ”

"In that case, you're wrong." Zhu Song picked up a piece of dim sum, looked at it carefully for a long time, and said:

"Such a simple emotion, we can all see it, can the four emperor brothers not see it? Don't think about it too much, the four emperor brothers asked us to accompany the kings of these Fanbangs tonight, it is nothing more than that our identity is enough, if it is just ordinary second- and third-grade ministers to accompany us, it is difficult to ensure that the kings of Fanbang say that we don't understand etiquette. ”

"Is it that simple?" Zhu Hu said a little incredulously, "Is it really thinking too much about my brother?" ”

Zhu Gaochi also had a look of disbelief, did he know that his father, whether it was doing things or making holy decrees, had a clear purpose, like this situation, there was no reason not to have a purpose?

"If you say it's not purposeful......" Looking at the faces of the two, Zhu Song knew that they didn't believe it, so he could only continue: "Yes, let's go on a blind date instead of our royal children." ”

Phase, blind date? What the heck?

If Zhu Hu and Zhu Gaochi were just surprised, now they are stunned.

How is that possible? The kings of the twenty states plus His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Daming, and the two most honorable princes gathered together for dinner, and it was just a belief program? What about the cheaters, right?

"What, don't you believe it?" Seeing that the two of them and their little nephew Zhu Youjiao were all confused. Zhu Song was suddenly happy, "Look, didn't the four emperor brothers deliberately add an article when celebrities went to invite Zhufanbang to come to my Daming to participate in the 'Hundred Kingdoms Feast', and they had to bring their queens, princes and princesses?" ”

"This ...... Oh, yes. Zhu Hu nodded subconsciously.

This is a well-known thing, and almost no one in the entire Ming Dynasty does not know about it.

Zhu Song's eyes lit up and he said, "The Fourth Emperor Brother did this out of three considerations!" ”
