For this young Japanese prince, Qin Kan still felt quite sorry in his heart.

Even Qin Kan himself had to admit that in fact, the Japanese didn't recruit him or provoke him, not only that, but they were deferential and polite to him, both attitude and etiquette were impeccable, a typical weak country vassal saluted the Heavenly Dynasty and the kingdom of heaven, and Qin Kan's approach was indeed a bit excessive, he transferred the hatred of the previous life to this life, and those hatreds never happened in this life at all.

Since he feels that he is wrong, he will correct it, Qin Kan has times when he is quite unreasonable, but he will not always be unreasonable, since the Japanese prince has done nothing wrong, of course Qin Kan will no longer target him for no reason.

The reason is that he was still a little awkward in his heart, and he arched his hand perfunctorily, and squeezed a smile at the young Prince Zhiren, which can be regarded as apologizing for yesterday's events, as for whether His Royal Highness the Prince can see the apology from his smile Qin Kan doesn't care, since it is the Heavenly Empire, there must be a posture of the Heavenly Empire.

Zhou Jing accompanied Prince Zhiren to the door today is the effect of a lubricant, seeing that everyone in the front hall did not speak, Zhou Jing coughed twice and began to play a round.

"Grandpa Qin, yesterday Prince Zhiren of Japan came to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, he said, ......" Zhou Jing's old eyes that seemed to be dim blinked, and he quickly decided his position, and continued: "Said that he visited his grandfather yesterday on behalf of the Emperor of Japan, but he offended his grandfather because the foreign countries of the feudal domain did not understand the etiquette of our Celestial Empire, so His Royal Highness the Prince found the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites with sincere fear, and asked the lower officials to come and say a thing or two for him, and also asked the grandfather to look at the face of Zhang Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and His Royal Highness the Prince to turn the war into a jade silk......"

As soon as the words fell, Prince Zhiren, who could understand Chinese, was stunned. Then the white face quickly turned red, staring at Zhou Jing angrily, and the two nostrils kept opening and shrinking like Er Kang.

Even Qin Kan was surprised by Zhou Jing's words, and his old face turned red and began to hum.

Sure enough, it was an official word, no matter what he said, it was up to him, it was obviously a clever thing, and he said it in Zhou Jing's mouth, but it turned into a Japanese who offended Qin Kan by not being polite.

Grandpa Qin, who knew the darkness of officialdom, couldn't help but panic for the prince of Japan at the moment, this Ming official was too dark......

Prince Zhiren, who had seen the darkness of the Celestial Empire for the first time, was obviously very uncomfortable, and he was too young in the end. Joy and anger are all in shape. I couldn't hide it at all, I sat on the chair with a red face and carried it for half the weather, I wanted to be angry but didn't dare, I wanted to endure and feel aggrieved.

Qin Kan watched with interest as His Royal Highness the Prince played with his face. Eyes rolled slightly. It happened to meet Zhou Jing's gaze. The corners of Zhou Jing's mouth hooked, picked up the teacup and tasted it silently, the old man's qi cultivation kung fu was obviously many levels higher than that of Prince Zhiren. After reversing black and white, his face was not red, his heart was not beating, he was not panting, his eyes were squinting, and he smacked his voice, as if he was tasting the supreme charm of tea, and he had an ethereal expression of being promoted to immortal immediately.

Zhou Jing can live to the age of seventy peacefully, naturally not a fool, although the Japanese mission to Beijing to pay tribute is a grand event, but after all, Japan is only a barbarian feudal country, he can't offend the hot prince of the dynasty for a Japanese prince who can't be beaten with eight poles, and he is a normal person who knows which side to stand.

I don't know how long I struggled in my heart, Prince Chihito finally decided to endure this breath, he did not forget that this trip to the Ming Kingdom was with the mission of the Japanese imperial family, for this mission, the imperial family can endure everything, and even sacrifice everything.

"Your Excellency Ning Guogong, yesterday it was my Tai Meng Lang, who turned into a foreign vassal country and did not know the etiquette, and offended Your Excellency, please accept my most sincere apology!"

After speaking, Prince Zhiren suddenly stood up, knelt heavily facing Qin Kan, and kowtowed three times.

Qin Kan originally wanted to expose this lack of morality, and he neither admitted nor apologized like the Japanese textbooks of later generations, but since Prince Zhiren endured the humiliation and took the responsibility on himself, Qin Kan certainly did not object.

"His Royal Highness the Prince is polite, okay, I have accepted your gift, well, I have also accepted your apology, let's clear the two, don't take those rags in the future...... No, those generous gifts have corrupted the country's public, remember. After Qin Kanpi responded with a smile and a few sentences, he suddenly picked up the teacup and took a symbolic sip, then stood up and brushed the hem of the python robe, which turned out to be a send-off posture.

Prince Zhiren was anxious when he saw this, he swallowed his anger with all his might, knelt down and gave gifts, and made so many famous halls just to have a good talk with the most powerful minister of the Ming Kingdom, but the rhythm in front of him was completely beyond his expectations.

"The vassal is rude, please wait for a while, and the ministers have something to ask for your Excellency." Prince Chihito pleaded eagerly.

Qin Kan frowned, his gaze unconsciously glancing at Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing is an old fritter who has been through the wind and waves for a long time, and hurriedly smiled when he saw this: "Xia Guan is a waiter of the Ministry of Etiquette, he only asks about Chinese and foreign etiquette matters, and the rest are inconvenient to interject, Xia Guan sees that the pavilion and water pavilion in the front yard of Grandpa Qin are quite elegant, I don't know if I can let Xia Guan watch it?" ”

Qin Kan threw an appreciative look at him, the old man was really interested, if it weren't for the fact that he was too old, and he was going to tell him to be old, Qin Kan really moved his mind to recruit.

Immediately ordered the housekeeper in the house to lead Zhou Jing to the front yard to enjoy the scenery in a fake appearance, and only Qin Kan and Prince Zhiren were left in the huge front hall.

Qin Kan took a sip of tea slowly, and said with a smile: "I don't know what His Royal Highness the Prince asks for?" ”

Prince Zhiren finally got the opportunity to talk face-to-face with the magnates of the Ming Kingdom, so naturally he would not talk nonsense, and went straight to the point: "I believe that His Excellency the Duke of Japan has been in war for a hundred years, and the major names have supported the army and self-respect, and they have fought each other, and the war has made the domestic people miserable, and the influence of the royal family is weakening day by day. Helped the Kashiwahara royal family in Japan once. Please, Your Excellency! ”

Qin Kan sighed secretly in his heart, he really came.

"Japan is indeed a vassal state of my Ming Dynasty, as early as the Hongwu period was designated as one of the fifteen non-conquest countries, but His Royal Highness the Prince, with all due respect, you Japan has rarely paid tribute since Yongle, and I have been cut off from the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years. I usually don't burn incense, I am temporarily cramming, why should I help you? ”

There was no one else in the front hall, and Qin Kan spoke very politely, with an aggressive edge.

Prince Zhiren's face was ashamed, and he said: "Please forgive the Japanese imperial family for being disrespectful, it is rude!" ”

Qin Kan waved his hand and said: "You should tell our Emperor His Majesty about this, I am just a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and I am not qualified to accept your apology, then again, what do you want to ask for help by asking for help?" ”

Prince Zhiren was shocked, and immediately showed joy, and hurriedly said: "The subordinate wants to ask His Excellency the Duke of the Kingdom to persuade His Majesty the Heavenly Khan to sell ...... to my Japanese royal family No, give the Ming Kingdom a number of firearms, gunpowder, swords, shields, and a loan of 1 million yuan......"

The more Qin Kan listened, the tighter his brows wrinkled, firearms, ordnance, loans, the ambitions of the Japanese royal family are not small, and they can't even live their own lives anymore, and Daming actually dares to open his mouth, and he is not afraid of flashing his tongue, probably because he has been bullied by the domestic daimyo for more than a hundred years, if these things are given to the Japanese royal family, the royal family is expected to revitalize, but who knows if Daming will raise a white-eyed wolf?

Qin Kan shook his head and said, "Your Royal Highness, your request is really not simple, do you think my Da Ming will agree?" ”

Prince Zhiren didn't know where he got the courage, suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Qin Kan, and said with a sigh of relief: "Your Excellency, the ministers remember that the Ming Kingdom had a rule as early as when the Hongwu year set the world etiquette system, and all overseas vassal states sent envoys to Beijing every three years to pay tribute to the emperor, but the vassal states of Korea and Annam tributary the emperor three or even four times a year, why not?" Because the Ming Kingdom returned a lot of gifts, every vassal country a cart of rice can be exchanged for a cart of gold and silver, so the vassal states see that it is profitable, it is to pay tribute several times a year, and my Japan has been a hundred years because of the royal family's weakness, life is difficult, so the tributary is cut off, and now it is difficult to restore diplomatic relations, only to the suzerainty to put forward some requirements, but His Excellency the Duke categorically refused? Treat Korean Annan like a son and nephew, but treat Japan like abandonment, the ministers dare to ask His Excellency, why is this? (To be continued......)
