Chapter 116: The Sky Has Eyes
As soon as Qi Jing's words came out, the whole dynasty was in an uproar, Su Wei looked at Qi Jing like eating a fly, you don't let me drag on to open trade with Japan, you actually want to tell the emperor yourself!
"Despicable!" Su Wei scolded secretly, but he couldn't do anything, so he had to stand in his position angrily.
Zu A and Fei Fu stood at the end of the civil official queue, and they were stupid when they heard Qi Jing's righteous words, Qi Jing was really helping them.
"What does Feng Tianbo mean by this?" I only heard an old and energetic voice coming from the civil service.
Qi Jing turned around and looked, and suddenly bowed down and said, "Gongsun senior, the meaning of the junior......
Gongsun Zhi twisted his beard, he is the oldest official in the matter, and he is also Lan Wei's husband, Gongsun Zhi has no merits in his life, but he has a good reputation, others talk about righteous people and gentlemen, they must first mention Gongsun Zhi.
"The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knew that Feng Tianbo robbed the silver of the Japanese envoy, and Feng Tianbo interceded for Japan at this time, which really made the old man unable to understand."
Qi Jing said with a smile when he heard this, "The predecessors know that Qi Jing is a poor man, and he likes silver the most in his bones, and he is greedy for a little wealth to return to the messenger." ”
"But it was a last resort to snatch it all away in Honglu Temple."
"Why not?" Zhu Di on the dragon chair couldn't sit still, what kind of medicine is sold in Qi Jing's kid's gourd, the fact that he was not allowed to exchange trade with Japan a few days ago was his most enjoyable, why did he change his hexagram today? !
Qi Jing clasped his fists at Zhu Di and said, "Back to Your Majesty's words, the minister accidentally learned that General Ashikaga Yoshimitsu of Japan only gave the two envoys a month except for the journey, and now that a month is about to pass, according to the rules of Japan, the two envoys and their families may not survive." ”
After Qi Jing finished speaking, he actually pulled Zu A and Feifu to Zhu Di.
When Zu Ah and Fei Fu saw Zhu Di, they quickly knelt on the ground. Qi Jing actually cleared his throat, rolled up his sleeves, and suddenly shouted.
"Your Majesty, everyone, look! How pitiful they are! If we can't complete the task, the whole family will die, and if we don't save him, we will lose our conscience! ”
"Japan, what a friendly subject country, it has never betrayed us, can't we give them a chance?!"
"Guys, are you so cold-blooded?!"
Qi Jing's image of opening his arms and foaming at the stars made his face full of disgust.
Are you sure you're pleading for Japan?! How does it sound like a thick mockery......
Maybe Qi Jing's acting skills were too poor, they all roared, Baiguan and Zhu Di didn't react, Zhu Gaoxu looked back at Zhu Neng in shock, "He's okay......"
"I'm not sure if he's okay......" Zhu Neng looked at Qi Jing with a confused expression.
Qi Jing was also embarrassed, he thought that his passionate speech could move a few old masters, but he didn't expect to make himself look like a fool.
Embarrassed, he lowered his arm and was about to bow his head silently, when he heard a miserable cry sounding from under him.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty save us!" Zua and Fat Fu didn't know why, and suddenly they cried bitterly.
Zhu Di rubbed his temples, the heart-rending sound just now really scared him, "Why did the two of you come to make this!" ”
"Your Majesty, Feng Tianbo, what Feng Tianbo said is really good!" Zu A wiped his tears and began to complain to Zhu Di, who was unfamiliar with life, what food was not used to, and what reception staff had a bad attitude......
"Su Wei, you are the Siqing of Honglu Temple, do you know all these situations?"
"The minister is guilty!" Hearing this, Su Wei hurriedly went out of work and knelt on the ground, and before he knelt down, he threw a very dangerous look at Qi Jing.
Qi Jing's whole body trembled, looking at Zu A and Fat Fu, who had a lot of snot and tears, and gritted his teeth, Ya, why do you say anything.
"A month's fine, step aside!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" When Su Wei went back, he deliberately glanced at Qi Jing, Qi Jing's neck was cold, and he smiled awkwardly.
Qi Jing should really thank Zu A and Feifu, if it weren't for the two of them supporting Qi Jing, it is estimated that Qi Jing would have become a laughing stock......
Qi Jing lifted the hem of the big red scarlet robe and took two steps to the side, avoiding the snot and tears of Zua and Fatty.
"Your Majesty, although I, Qi Jing, have accepted their silver, the first is that I can't bear to see them begging for help, and the second is for the relationship between my Ming Dynasty and Japan!"
"Your Majesty, please open trade!"
There was silence in the room.
Zhu Di was silent for a long time, and then said, "Feng Tianbo was strongly opposed to opening trade with Japan at the beginning, but today it is unusual, and I am very incomprehensible. ”
Qi Jing snapped his fingers, and what he wanted was this sentence, "Your Majesty doesn't know anything, and the minister has opposed it many times just to see Japan's sincerity, and now the minister feels that Japan has absolute sincerity to fulfill my Ming request." ”
"What requirements?" Zua was a little confused, and he became more and more unable to understand what the man was saying.
Qi Jing bared his teeth when he heard this, and his big white teeth reflected the light in the sunlight, "Since Japan is so sincere, it must definitely agree to the last two conditions I proposed." ”
The corners of Qi Jing's mouth hooked, and his eyes were full of indifference when he looked at Zu A, "The envoy knows that the reason why I, Da Ming, closed trade with Japan, is because of the Japanese invaders. So my first condition, tell your Ashikaga Yoshimitsu General that I want him to capture the leader of the Japanese with his own hands, and then steam and kill! ”
"Steaming?!" Zua's voice changed, "You want us to steam a person to death?!" ”
"That's right, otherwise this is not enough to eliminate the people's grievances, and you must also be considerate of us." Qi Jing looked at Zu A's expression of disbelief, "The second one, Japan's silver mines, will give me Daming to mine for twenty years free of charge!" ”
"Of course, the labor fee will still be paid to you, two messengers, what do you think?"
Everyone looked at Qi Jing in disbelief, did these words really come from the mouth of the mild-mannered young man who was smiling in front of him?
Steaming people to death, or letting the Japanese carry it out themselves?! If Japan's Ashikaga Yoshimitsu really does it, then he will lose the hearts and minds of the entire Japanese people.
The Japanese were hired to mine silver at a low price, and a lot of profits were made from it, and the shortage of silver in the Ming Dynasty was greatly alleviated.
These two articles are of great benefit to the Ming Dynasty, but they are a disaster for Japan.
This kind of catastrophe will not erupt suddenly, it will hide in the deepest depths of a country, slowly eroding the foundations of the country.
Yang Shiqi looked at Qi Jing standing with his hands behind his back, and his eyes were full of light.
"Feng Tianbo, have you ever reported these two conditions to the cabinet?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister hasn't had time to ......" Qi Jing didn't come in time, he didn't want to report it at all, this kind of thing that hurts others and is not beneficial to himself, if it is reported, it will definitely cause an uproar, it is better to take responsibility for it all at once, and then shut everyone's mouths.
"I have approved these two articles, but you have to bear the responsibility yourself"
"Your Majesty, the ministers are measured!"
Zua is not a fool, he also thought of the impact of these two on Japan, he looked at Qi Jing with a pale face, "You won't succeed, the general won't agree!" You will be punished! ”
Qi Jing shook his sleeves when he heard this, looked up to the sky and laughed, pointed at Zu A and said, "It is you who should be punished, or the sky has eyes to specially let me Qi Jing come here and recover the debt from you!" ”
