Zhu Changyuan returned to his seat, sat upright, and said, "Go on!" ”
Then some countries sent congratulatory gifts one after another, and Zhu Changyuan either encouraged or reprimanded depending on the number of gifts. Books are always given back, but most of them are the Analects, Shangshu, and other Four Books and Five Classics.
Not long after, it was the turn of the Netherlands to come up and pay tribute.
The ceremonial officer sang: "Tribute from the Netherlands!" ”
The envoy of the Netherlands was a big fat man, he got up from the chair in vain, and he didn't want to kneel down to Zhu Changyuan like the envoys of other countries, but only bowed to Zhu Changyuan and put one hand on his chest.
Zhu Changyuan was very unhappy, but he knew the etiquette of these foreigners, and he didn't show it too much.
"Your Majesty the Ming Kingdom, I am the Dutch envoy!" Although the Dutch speak Chinese without many standards, they can communicate at the most basic level.
"However, our Dutch Kingdom came here to negotiate with Your Majesty, not to pay tribute to Your Majesty!" The envoy looked at Zhu Changyuan with a fearless face.
Zhu Changyuan snorted coldly, smiled, and said softly: "Naughty, I don't know etiquette, let him have a long experience first!" ”
Cao Huachun understood his intentions, and took a few eunuchs to personally walk in front of the Dutch envoy, pulled him back, and then opened his bow left and right and slapped him more than a dozen times before letting go.
"You, you, you eunuchs!" The envoy was slapped in front of the public, not only because of the pain in his face, but also because he was very faceless.
"Report again!" After Zhu Changyuan finished speaking softly, the eunuchs took their places, and then the official shouted loudly: "The Dutch envoy pays tribute!" ”
The envoy of the Netherlands still didn't understand, and still said: "Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, I declare once again that our Dutch country is not here to pay tribute to you, but to negotiate with you, please release the 2,500 people who have detained our country as soon as possible, otherwise, my Dutch fleet may have to come to China for a trip!" ”
Zhu Changyuan sneered. When the Dutch envoy finished speaking, he said, "No manners! If you want me to release 2,500 people from the Netherlands, you can do it with 1,000 taels of silver each, for a total of 2,500,000 taels. In addition, in view of the fact that the Dutch State has been harassing Taiwan for 20 years and has brought untold suffering to our people, we will compensate 10 million taels of silver every year, totaling 200 million taels. ”
"As for what you said, let the Dutch fleet come to my Greater China for a trip. Hehe, I'm happy to see it happen, if you don't come, you're a son of a bitch! ”
Zhu Changyuan rarely burst into a foul language in the court, and then motioned to Cao Huachun to pull this messenger down and walk around the torture room in the East Factory.
Although the East Factory no longer exists, and the torture room is no longer needed, it is not used for Chinese. When foreigners come, they can also start their old business again, so that they can understand that not only is China's etiquette profound, but also the interrogation room is beyond their imagination.
"Simply Dutch. The territory is only two and a half Beijing City University, and I dare to argue with me, which is really arrogant! If I hadn't taken pity on your limited land, it wouldn't have been as simple as paying compensation! ”
"What should I do?" The two Spanish envoys began to discuss below, for they, like the Dutch, did not bring any gifts, and did not know that the Chinese Emperor would attach such importance to tribute.
"I don't know!" The other envoy had a bitter face, not wanting to be beaten, but he didn't want to lose the country's face because of this, so he thought for a while and said ruthlessly: "Didn't they ask for a gift list? Let's just write a random one. ”
"But. What if we can't cash in afterwards? Another messenger asked.
"We'll run away sooner morning, or the king will send it."
"Well, that's all there is to it!"
The two Spanish envoys had finished their discussions and took out pens and paper on the spot. Write down the gift list.
"Next ......" Zhu Changyuan waved his sleeves.
The ceremonial officer sang, "King Philip IV of Spain pays tribute!" ”
The Spanish envoy stood in front with the gift list he had just written, and suddenly thought of the fate of the Dutch envoy, so he had to kneel down again and kowtow to Zhu Changyuan honestly.
Zhu Changyuan smiled and said: "The son can be taught!" Flatten! ”
The Spanish envoy stood up and said to Zhu Changyuan: "On behalf of the king of Spain, the foreign minister greets the Ming Emperor!" "Between words. handed over the gift list to the little eunuch, and the eunuch transferred the gift list to Zhu Changyuan.
Zhu Changyuan took the gift list and looked at it, 100,000 taels of silver.
After reading it, I smiled and didn't say anything.
The Spanish envoy said: "Your Majesty, the foreign minister has come this time, and there is another matter to ask for, can Your Majesty return more than a dozen citizens of the country, and in addition, Your Majesty is slightly dissatisfied with the compensation and land cession proposed by Your Majesty, can you discuss?" ”
Originally, they were prepared to use much more fierce rhetoric, but when they saw the fate of the Dutch, they couldn't say anything tough.
"I can agree to release the citizens, but as for the matter of land cession and compensation, I will not give in! Go back and tell Philip IV that if he refuses, I will be in the land of Philip in two months' time!" Let's go down! ”
"Next ......"
And then......
Then the tribute was over, Zhu Changyuan ordered the officials of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple to feast the guests, and after a few words of hurried response, he couldn't wait to run back to the platform separated by a wall and enter the side hall.
In addition to the little eunuch on duty, the envoy from Fusang was the one who came from Fusang Kingdom.
"Emissary!"
"The foreign minister greets Your Majesty!"
"Get up." Zhu Changyuan took off the heavy dress on his body and asked the messenger, "What is Aiqing's name?" ”
The envoy bowed and replied, "The foreign minister's name is Hatoyama Jiro!" ”
Zhu Changyuan nodded, and after taking off the heavy dress with the help of the little eunuch, he took off the heavy hat again. The last time he ascended the throne, because he didn't have a suitable hat, Xue Guoguan and Jiang Fengyuan coaxed him and got him a pure gold hat to wear on his head, almost pressing his head crookedly.
At that time, he felt that these officials were deliberately spoofing and playing tricks on him, but now that he thinks about it, although there are these elements in it, he is too eager to ascend the throne, and he is indeed not fully prepared.
Now, the crown of the twelve beads is there (the twelve beads of the Ming Dynasty are shown on the hat, not the kind that droops down from the crown plate), which is much lighter than the gold crown used by the dead man before, but it is still more than ten times heavier than the ordinary leather ben.
"Sit down!" Zhu Changyuan pointed to a seat below, asked the envoy of Fusang to sit down, sat on a high place, took out the gift list and asked, "This gift list." I like it, but there's a problem. ”
"Who touched the gift list before it came into your hands?"
The envoy looked at the gift list and didn't understand why Zhu Changyuan asked this. Said dumbly: "The gift list was personally delivered to the villain by General Tokugawa, who did it pass through before, and the foreign minister didn't know?" ”
Zhu Changyuan nodded.
Japan is now in the shogunate period, and the entire imperial family is being manipulated and controlled by the Tokugawa shogunate. The Tokugawa shogun in Hatoyama Jiro's mouth was naturally the contemporary de facto ruler of the shogunate.
"You're talking about Tokugawa Iemitsu, the general of the Seiyi!" Zhu Changyuan's eyes narrowed slightly.
Hatoyama nodded. But there was a tremor in his heart: This emperor of the Ming Dynasty is so powerful, he even knows such a thing as Fusang Kingdom!
Zhu Changyuan took the pink note in his hand again, looked at the neat small block font on it, sniffed the vague fragrance on it, and asked a little erratically: "This season, the cherry blossoms in Fusang are already blooming all over the mountains, right?" ”
In addition to the cool smell of flowers, there is also a strong aroma of cherry blossoms on the note, if Zhu Changyuan expected it to be good, the light pink of this note is dyed with the juice of cherry blossoms.
Hatoyama Jiro was taken aback again, lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "The cherry blossoms are in full bloom at this time!" ”
Fuso at this time. It has formed a unique culture, although it is slightly different from the Chinese Confucianism and Taoism, but the big aspects are still the same, such as national integrity, such as being upright!
As for that evil militarism, that's later.
As a last resort, Zhu Changyuan was unwilling to destroy such a distinctive national culture with his own hands deep down. But there is no way, the Han culture must be highlighted, and everything else is weeds, so it must be cut quickly.
"Do you know where this page of notes came from?" Zhu Changyuan pushed the note in his hand forward. Placed on the table.
Hatoyama Jiro, as the main official of this mission to China, must have checked such an important thing as the gift list over and over again, so it is impossible for him not to know about the matter of the note on the last page.
Now that I know it, I will send it up. The implications of this are indeed thought-provoking. Whether it is more emotional or more political is still unknown.
Although Zhu Changyuan is full of hope, he doesn't have to get it!
Compared with Greater China, compared with all the ethnic groups in the world and the Han family, everything else is scum!
"Atonement for the sins!" When Hatoyama Jiro saw the note, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Zhu Changyuan a few times. Then he said, "This is the third lady of the Tokugawa family. ”
"Oh?" Zhu Changyuan's eyes lit up and said, "Come on!" ”
Hatoyama Jiro said: "The third lady of the Tokugawa family has admired His Majesty's heroic young man for a long time, and she has far-reaching thoughts, so she wrote this note casually and asked me to put it behind the gift list. ”
"Please, Your Majesty forgive me, it's the foreign minister Meng Lang!"
"No problem!" Zhu Changyuan smiled and said, "Tell me, what is the name of this third lady and what does she look like?" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Hatoyama Jiro raised his head, breathed a deep sigh of relief, and said: "The third lady is the third daughter of the general Tokugawa, the general of the Seiyi, and her name is Liang, as for the appearance, the appearance of the third lady is ......."
"Dingdingding......"
"Dingdingding......"
Hatoyama Jiro was just halfway through his words when Zhu Changyuan's mobile phone rang.
Originally, he could not answer, but after seeing the caller's name, he could only answer, and then, with a gloomy face, he talked to the person on the other end of the phone for nearly a quarter of an hour.
"King Talong, I said that if you don't do it, you really won't die!" Zhu Changyuan put his mobile phone on the table, glanced at Hatoyama Jiro, and said, "Messenger, go back first, I have something to deal with." (To be continued.) )
