After feeling nostalgic for a while, Xie Hong also cleaned up his mood, he was not a sentimental person in the first place, since the incident had happened, it was useless to regret it or something.

Besides, even if there is no such thing as today, the attitude of the ministers towards him is similar, and he doesn't care about more or less debts.

Xie Hong deeply understands this sentence, and he believes that before realizing the ideal of revitalizing China, he has to do a more technical job...... That's to act as an MT that attracts hatred!

No way, who let him have his own aura of ridicule? Who asked him to form a group with Zhengde?

But it doesn't matter, anyway, as long as there is Zhengde to support it, the ministers are just hating in their hearts, Xie Hong recovered his spirit, so he let his brother attract hatred in a high-profile manner and do things in a low-key manner.

"Master Xie, did you sleep well?"

Who is so unskilled? He who asked this question, did he sleep well...... Xie Hong pursed his lips and raised his eyes to see that the person who spoke he recognized was Ma Yongcheng who he had seen that day. This great eunuch, one of the Eight Tigers, had a smile on his face, his body bowed like a prawn, and his attitude was very respectful, even in front of Zhengde.

"It's Gonggong Ma, did the emperor summon me in?"

"That's not it, the court meeting will talk about the envoys at the end." Ma Yongcheng shook his head and said: "The emperor is afraid that you will be anxious, and the little one has some understanding of this matter, so let the little one explain to you." ”

Accompanying the chat, Xie Hong nodded and understood.

Regarding the North Korean envoys, in addition to not seeing anyone, the other Xie Hong also knew about it, so the two of them just had a sentence of idle talk, and after talking for a while, Ma Yongcheng cautiously asked the topic: "Lord Xie, the little courage to ask, is the reward to North Korea in the carriage?" ”

"Hmm." Xie Hong nodded.

"Is Master Xie sure?" Ma Yongcheng asked again, he didn't have the confidence in Xie Hong, and he also knew that what Zhengde thought was good was not necessarily really good, and if he failed today, the consequences would be serious.

But Zhengde was full of confidence, he didn't dare to say more, he was not Liu Jin's eyeless one, he obviously saw the momentum of Lord Xie, and he always wanted to fight without his strength. It can be seen that Xie Hong is also relaxed, and he doesn't take things to heart at all, and he can't help but worry.

"Father-in-law Ma, you can rest assured." Xie Hong comforted casually, looked at the sky, and said, "This court meeting is still long enough, is it usually like this?" ”

"Last year, the court meeting was not long, and the adults in the court occasionally had some disputes, but these days, the time is long, and the ministers are working hard to fight against the Lord Banzai." Ma Yongcheng sighed and said: "You also saw it, there were so many people just now, how long does it take for one person to say a sentence?" They still have a long sentence to say......"

"That's right." Xie Hong was deeply touched by this. In fact, the ancients spoke similar to that of later generations of legal workers, except that they first quoted the classics, and later generations of lawyers directly said: According to Article 1 of a certain law, it is just for unprofessional people to understand it anyway, otherwise how can it be called a professional?

"Actually, it's fast, the little yellow gate that just ran out is to Xuanren......" Ma Yongcheng looked at the Taihe Gate, and then said.

"Oh?" Xie Hong also looked over, and sure enough, he saw a few figures there. When the emperor summoned someone, he naturally wouldn't let you rush over from home, so he naturally prepared in advance and waited outside, Xie Hong himself was like this.

"Your Majesty has an edict: Xuan Korean envoy Jin Xia love, Li Zida to meet you!" Sure enough, as soon as the people were in place, an edict came out from the Taihe Palace, and the eunuchs and Han generals sang in unison.

Two of the people in that group came out in response, and walked quickly to the Taihe Palace, at least once a year, the Korean envoys were no strangers to the Forbidden City and the etiquette of the Ming Court, and they were familiar with it very well.

Giving gifts, roll calling, entering the temple to meet each other, the movements are like flowing water, which is called a smooth. Xie Hong, the etiquette Xiaobai, could only sigh with admiration, not admiring the actions of these two people, but greatly admiring the names of the two envoys: "This name is too national, and you know that it came from that peninsula as soon as you hear it." ”

"How so?" Ma Yongcheng was curious, he had only heard that North Korea admired the manners of the Celestial Empire, and it was effectively imitated in many aspects such as culture and clothing, but he didn't know the exquisiteness of this name. I also secretly admired in my heart: I deserve to be a person valued by the emperor, and this insight is really good.

"It's so narrow-minded and arrogant!" Xie Hong praised again and again, "These two are a perfect match, and they speak directly to the national characteristics of North Korea!" ”

"Uh......" Ma Yongcheng's words were choked back into his stomach, and he couldn't help but slander in his heart: A small North Korea, it is possible to be narrow-minded, arrogant? Why are you arrogant, haven't you seen them pay tribute every year, I heard that they have been crying and shouting to be attached, where is there arrogance? In this matter of unreliability, Lord Xie is the same as Long Live Lord.

"Xuan Qianhu Xie Hong is here!" Not long after the two of them entered, there was another burst of singing, and I don't know if Zhengde was in a hurry to solve the problem, or the courtiers were in a hurry to solve Xie Hong, in short, they were in a hurry.

"Brother Jiang, bring your things, let's go in." Xie Hong turned around to greet Jiang Bin, and then followed behind Ma Yongcheng and entered the Taihe Palace.

"Okay."

Since entering the Forbidden City, Scarface's mouth has never been closed, happy, I actually entered the Forbidden City, or came in from Taihe Gate, I have long known that it is good to find a backer, but I didn't expect it to be so good. Ha, I'm going to go to the Jinluan Palace again, and this is also a good thing.

He happily moved the pendulum clock from the carriage, although this thing is called a 'clock', but the shape is strange, like a big cabinet, if it weren't for Jiang Bin's long arms and strength, he really couldn't hold this thing.

The Taihe Hall is the place where the court meeting is held, and it goes without saying that the hall is solemn and solemn. Today I want to meet the envoys, it is a big court meeting, so there are more courtiers participating than usual, I can't see it in front of the palace just now, but when I look at it in the Taihe Palace, it is black and pressing.

When Xie Hong entered the hall, everyone was also angry, because there were too many people, that gaze seemed to have been condensed into substance, even with Xie Hong's state of mind, they all felt the pressure. However, since forming a team with Zhengde, Xie Hong's ability to resist pressure has increased greatly, and he is transforming into an excellent MT, so he doesn't care.

"Minister Xie Hong see Your Majesty...... "You can usually not care about the etiquette, but not on formal occasions, Xie Hong still understands the etiquette."

"Hurry up and excuse me." Zhengde was having a headache, and he was also overjoyed to see Xie Hong, if it weren't for Gu Da's repeated glances, he might have stood up to meet him.

"Thank you, Lord Long." Xie Hong did it according to the etiquette he had learned, and then he raised his eyes and saw the situation in the hall clearly.

Not far in front of him, still lying on his stomach, uh, no, there were two kneeling people, the two Jin and Li who had just been seen. These two people have a horse face and a long beard, and the other has a long beard and a horse face, Xie Hong can't tell which one is which, but he is very ashamed in his heart, people's etiquette is much stronger than his half-hanging, they are all lying on the ground with five bodies, very respectful.

Before Zhengde could continue to speak, the horse-faced and long-bearded man suddenly burst into tears and said, "Your Majesty, the treasures of the Celestial Empire must be very valuable, but my North Korea is a small country and the land is barren, even if there are treasures, it is useless." And last year suffered another famine, the people lived in dire straits, and they were looking forward to the heavenly rain at night, please have mercy on the Korean beings, and the foreign minister Jin Xia Ai, on behalf of the Korean king Li Longton, bowed for the first hundred years. ”

"Foreign Minister Li Zidudun bowed for the first hundred ......" The other long-bearded horse-faced one also echoed in unison, and Xie Hong only knew who was who of the two when he heard it.

"Didn't I just say that? I told you not to cry, why are you crying again! In the face of these two, Zhengde was not so kind, his face was flat, and he said: "Relief is relief, and reward is reward, how can it be confused?" Besides, you haven't seen the baby yet, how do you know it's not going to work? If the treasure can't be used as a reward, then the treasure in the tribute is also crossed out. ”

The crying stopped abruptly, Jin and Li were both startled, this time the envoy paid tribute, counting on the pocket watch, if it was crossed out directly, then the errand would not be able to be done, because those routine tributes were less than in previous years, you know, last year was a great famine, and even the ginseng on the mountain could not be harvested, otherwise could the two classes of nobles starve?

And the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty is really different, in previous years, he could occasionally see the face of the sky, but the emperor just said two example words in a low voice, and the people who really dealt with him were the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

The adults in the Ministry of Rites are all knowledgeable and courteous, and even if they bargain, they are smiling and going around in circles, where can they say such direct words? The two envoys were very unaccustomed to the style of Zhengde, so they both went to see Zhang Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, pitifully - Master Zhang is particular about people, and he pays attention to doing things for people after receiving gifts.

Didn't you just collect some silver and a few broken ginseng, and even ask the old man to say it for you, what two wastes. Zhang Sheng scolded secretly in his heart, and then he came out and said: "Your Majesty, the law of reward is the ancestral system, the prestige of the Celestial Empire......"

"I didn't say I wouldn't give it back, but they can pay tribute, but they don't want my reward! Zhang Aiqing, did you hear clearly, they don't want me to do anything? Is it very dignified to be rejected? Is that what you mean? Zhengde interrupted Zhang Sheng's words impatiently.

"This ......" Zhang Sheng was robbed by Zhengde, and his face was very unbearable, but he was not in a hurry, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

What can be paid tribute and what can't be given back, it is impossible to say so much detail in the ancestral system, and there are many traps in Zhengde's words, if he speaks rashly, it is likely to cause trouble. It can't be said that the ancestral system stipulates that the emperor must sell the imperial estate to give back, right? What kind of person is Master Zhang, how could he say such a mindless thing?

His trick - crying, was used by the North Korean envoy first, and it was used in front of the envoy, Lord Zhang was still a little embarrassed, not to mention, Zhengde's immunity to this trick was still very strong, so Lord Zhang's face was red and white, and he was frozen by Zhengde's words.

"Your Majesty, the envoy does not mean to reject His Majesty's gift, but only that the treasure given by His Majesty may not be suitable. The treasure in the tribute is for timekeeping, and it is quite wonderful, if it is a reward...... According to the ancestral system, the corresponding treasures must also be returned. "It was the old rival Han Wen who relieved Zhang Sheng, and although there were many internal differences among the ministers, they were still very consistent externally.

"Isn't it just timekeeping? Big...... Uh, Xie Aiqing, what is the purpose of the things you brought? ”

"It's for timing." Xie Hong bowed and replied.

Zhengde nodded and said to Han Wen: "Han Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

Han Wen peeked at Xie Qian, and saw that Scholar Xie bowed slightly, he also had a bottom in his heart, and according to the pre-agreed agreement, he pushed the matter to the envoy: "Weichen obeys the order, but ...... Your Majesty, will you listen to what the envoys have to say? ”

"Since the envoy has something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it?" Zhengde glanced at Han Wen and turned to the two envoys.
