……

Qianqing Palace, here is the place where the current Ming Dynasty emperor Ming Muzong Zhu Zaiyuan handled government affairs, and it is also the place where he lives. Speaking of which, there were many emperors in the Ming Dynasty who did not like the dynasty, such as Emperor Muzong's father, Emperor Shizong Zhu Houxi, who had not been in court for more than 30 years.

Of course, although he did not go to the court, it did not mean that Emperor Sejong really ignored the government completely, and if that was the case, Yan Song, who was powerful all over the world, would not be overthrown by Xu Jie. In fact, many emperors of the Ming Dynasty would control the government through the cabinet when they were not in the court, and they usually handled government affairs in this Qianqing Palace.

Oh, and by the way, although this Qianqing Palace may sound like it has something to do with the Qing Dynasty, this palace was built by Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty. And the origin of this name comes from the Tao Te Ching.

The so-called one in the past will be clear; The land has a single enin; God has one Spirit; The grain will be profitable, and all things will be born; The prince has to think that the sky is right.

The name of the Qianqing Palace comes from the fact that the heavens are clear, and this sentence means that the heavens are clear and clear. And the sky is dry, the so-called heaven and earth. At the same time, the heavens also represent the emperor in this era. Therefore, Emperor Chengzu at that time took such a name.

When Xu Jie came to Emperor Muzong's study, he saw that Emperor Muzong was reviewing the chapter under the service of the eunuch Meng Chong. Hawkers, speaking of which, this Emperor Muzong doesn't know if he knew too much about all aspects of the Ming Dynasty society when he was still King Yu, so after he ascended the throne, he was completely different from his father, Emperor Shizong, who was as mediocre as his father, Emperor Shizong, although he didn't go to court much, but he was also quite diligent.

"Wechen greets Your Majesty." After Xu Jie came in, he was about to bow down, but was stopped by Emperor Muzong.

"Xu Aiqing, you are the first assistant of this dynasty and my teacher, so you don't need to make this big gift here." Emperor Muzong chuckled, then turned to Meng Chong on the side and said, "Show Xu Aiqing a seat." ”

After sitting down, Xu Jie didn't say much, and directly entered the topic, "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to play." As he spoke, he told Oda Yoshinobu about what he wanted to trade with the Ming Kingdom.

"Heh, then Japan is also interesting, when this dynasty basically pacified those Japanese bandits, they came to negotiate trade, what did they do earlier?" Emperor Muzong sneered. In his words, he was full of disdain for Japan.

Hearing this, Xu Jie chuckled and said, "Your Majesty doesn't know, that Japan has entered a chaotic era for almost a hundred years, and the imperial court and the so-called shogunate have long been unable to control the local situation, it is said that Japan is divided into sixty-six countries, but there are more than a hundred forces on one side......"

"Ha, in such a small land, can you still carve out more than 100 forces? Is there enough space? Emperor Muzong laughed when he heard this.

"It's smaller, but it's also more miserable." Xu Jie said in a deep voice, "The envoys of Japan who have come to envoy now are the first ministers of the strongest force in Japan today, and with their power, it may not take more than ten years to unify Japan." That's why they sent envoys to the dynasty in the hope of reopening trade and promoting friendship between the two countries. ”

"Heh, let's talk about it~" Emperor Mu Zong chuckled when he heard this, stretched out his hand, and Meng Chong on the side hurriedly served him a cup of tea.

"Yes!" Hearing this, Xu Jie hurriedly said, "The Japanese envoy's request is not much, but he just hopes to reopen the sea trade, allow Japanese private merchants to come to the dynasty to do business, and ensure their legitimacy and fair treatment in the dynasty." At the same time, the Japanese were willing to pay tribute to their own dynasty, but they hoped that the present dynasty would not interfere in their internal affairs. In addition, the envoy also promised that if an agreement was reached, they would do their best to eliminate the Japanese pirates in order to ensure the safety of maritime trade. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Muzong touched his beard and said, "It's a bit interesting, if the sea trade is reopened, as long as the rules are followed, then this dynasty will naturally not do anything to their merchants." As for interfering in internal affairs, I have no interest in that. But can they really guarantee the elimination of the pirates in their country? Aiqing, didn't you just say that their country is in turmoil? ”

"That's true, but the forces to which the envoy belongs now occupy the most prosperous place in Japan, and not long after the sea ban was lifted in this dynasty, they came to the envoy, and the strength will not be too bad." Xu Jie responded when he heard this.

"Hmm...... If we can completely eliminate the ...... The infestation of the pirates can be considered. Ming Muzong groaned, obviously a little moved.

Wechen also thinks that Wechen has discussed with Master Zhang before he came, and he also thinks this is a good opportunity. Not only can it eliminate the infestation of the pirates, but it can also transfer the generals of the troops originally deployed in the coastal areas to the north. Xu Jie looked at Emperor Muzong and said in a deep voice.

"Tatars? Hum! Sooner or later, I'll have to pay the price of those insatiable dogs! Emperor Muzong said fiercely.

It is no wonder that Emperor Muzong hated the Tatars so much, or the entire Mongol nation, because the Ming Kingdom and the Mongols had a grudge that could not be resolved at all. The Ming Dynasty overthrew the Yuan Dynasty and established political power, not to mention it. Just two things will tell the story.

In the past, the Mongol thorns were vassals to the Ming State to deal with the Tatars, but after the unification of Mongolia, the Taishi who was the real power of the Tiles at that time was also insatiable and constantly asked for more materials from the Ming State. After being refused, he began to attack the Ming Dynasty in 1449.

I won't talk about the specific process, in short, the result was the famous Tumubao Change, the then emperor Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was captured by the tile thorn, and 66 ministers such as Kuang Yu, the secretary of the military department, and Wang Zuo, the secretary of the household department, were killed in battle. It can be said that since the martyrdom of Jingkang in the Song Dynasty, the second greatest shame of the Han dynasty.

Later, after the Tatars unified Mongolia, they also hoped to exchange border cities with the Ming State and send envoys to pay tribute. After being rejected by the Ming State, he raised troops to attack the Ming State again. Although this time it was not as tragic as the Tumubao Incident, the Tatar Han Dynasty also drove into the Central Plains for a long time, forcing the Jingshi to impose martial law again. In the end, when Altan Khan retreated, he plundered two million people and animals, and forced the Ming court to open a tribute city, which was the change of Gengxu.

In particular, the Gengxu change still happened to Emperor Muzong's father, Emperor Sejong, and it was still regarded as a great shame until his death, so how could he, as a son, like the Tatars?

Seeing that Emperor Muzong was angry, Xu Jie hurriedly kept silent, and after half a ring, he heard Emperor Muzong ask in a deep voice, "So, can this Japanese envoy represent their court and what shogunate?" ”

Hawkers, because the Ming Dynasty has never paid much attention to Japan, so there were a lot of jokes when making Japan a vassal. For example, when Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, tried to make Japan a vassal, but unfortunately the envoy he sent went to find Prince Huailiang of the Southern Dynasty who was in the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Later, for example, during the Muromachi Shogunate, although Japan was a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese king canonized by the Ming Emperor was the general of the Muromachi Shogunate.

With the previous example, Emperor Muzong had to be careful.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, this time the envoy is the Japanese Imperial Court personally enshrined Zheng Yipin and Ming Taizheng Minister, the shogunate personally enshrined and Ming Guanling, the seal on the document has been compared, and it is the same as in the record." Xu Jie hurriedly said.

"Hmm......" Emperor Muzong pondered for a moment after hearing this, then looked at Xu Jie and asked in a deep voice, "Then do you think it is appropriate to pay a tribute for a few years?" ”

Wechen thought that ten years of tribute was too long, and the time should be shortened to show the goodwill of the Japanese dynasty. In addition, this time, only the forces of the envoy came to the whole of Japan, and the dynasty should give him some benefits as a sign of his attitude. Xu Jie thought for a while and said, "Weichen thinks that it is more appropriate to pay a tribute a year, because from this kind of trade, this dynasty can also obtain a large amount of gold and silver. Your Majesty also knows that although the present dynasty has been better off over the years, there is still a shortage of silver in the treasury. In addition, it is possible to send goodwill to Japan. ”

Hawkers, this is naturally pretending, if he is not fully prepared, how dare he come over?

Hearing this, Emperor Muzong groaned, and after a long time, he looked at Xu Jie and said, "Just do it!" Meng Chong. ”

"Yes......" Meng Chong heard this, and hurriedly helped Emperor Muzong polish the ink.

In late June, Zhang Juzheng brought Oda Yoshinobu's long-awaited decree. Belch...... Well, let's just think this kid is looking forward to it for a long time.

"Thank you so much, big brother, although you promised it, but one tribute a year, the little brother can't even think of it!" Oda Yoshinobu said happily.

Indeed, one tribute a year, Oda Yoshinobu would never dare to think of it, after all, the former exploration trade was also a tribute for ten years, and the gap is not too big. Well, in fact, Zhang Juzheng was also very surprised when he received the holy decree, but he naturally wouldn't say that this year's tribute had nothing to do with him.

"In fact, in addition to the hope of this dynasty to release goodwill to your country, it also really hopes that your country can get a large amount of gold and silver." Zhang Juzheng explained with a smile.

"What? Is your country short of money? Oda Yoshinobu asked strangely when he heard this, in his opinion, the Ming Dynasty was a very wealthy dynasty, and it was not until various natural and man-made disasters in the later period that the family wealth was gradually exhausted.

Seeing Oda Yoshinobu's curious expression, Zhang Juzheng hesitated for a moment, and cautiously said to Oda Yoshinobu, "The Mongolian barbarians in the north, I don't know if you know the virtuous brother?" ”
