Chapter 103: The Stick Country of Righteousness
The first wind and rain drifted away
The sky is gray, the north wind is gusting, the weather is cold day by day, and the capital of Daming ushered in early winter.
Honglu Temple, which is subordinate to the Ministry of Rites, also ushered in a court boss today - the second assistant Wang Yingxiong.
The cold wind blew on the body, and it was cold. Xu Huihui, the secretary of Honglu Temple, led the envoys of various countries in Beijing to greet him at the door of the official office.
A moment later, a warm sedan chair, escorted by several guards, came to the eye.
"It's cold outside, let's go to the government office to discuss things." The tarpaulin of the warm sedan car was lifted, and the second assistant Wang Yingxiong explained softly.
Then the sedan chair driver continued to walk until he got off the sedan chair at the door, followed by the envoys of various countries.
It's not that Wang Yingxiong is pretending to be forced, holding a shelf, and snubbing the envoys of various countries.
But in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, where is there any country?
That's a fanbang, and it's already very face-saving to barely call a vassal state.
What's more, as the second assistant of the big brother of the Ming Dynasty, the status of the personnel stationed abroad in these vassal countries is too unequal.
In front of these little brothers, Da Ming is proud.
That is, Emperor Chongzhen attaches great importance to the food problem, and the second auxiliary king should Xiong deign to go in person, if not, he can order it to go down.
After entering the official office of Honglu Temple and meeting with the envoys of various countries, Wang Yingxiong said directly: "Ladies and gentlemen, a few days ago, the Son of Heaven had orders. ”
Does the Great Tomorrow have orders?
When everyone heard this, they didn't calm down, and they were short of breath and looked up at the second assistant Wang Yingxiong who was sitting in the middle.
Their work in Daming was originally to eat, drink and have fun, and they were very idle.
Wait for the domestic tribute, and instruct the people who come to pay tribute.
Then take them to enjoy the scenery of the Ming Dynasty, arrange the play projects, and let those domestic dumplings who have not seen the world be shocked, and that's basically it.
And this also has a reason for them to continue to stay in the capital of Daming.
This job is a beautiful one, and it is worth cherishing.
The only pity is that the Ming court treated them like flowers, and never asked for anything from them.
Compared to them, Da Ming is too rich!
For more than 200 years, they are all tributes that are very valuable in their own country, but they are garbage in the eyes of the Ming court, and then they get a bunch of rewards to return home.
Well, there have been cases of edicts and reprimands.
"Dare to ask Master Wang, I don't know what the upper country has to tell me today, and the next country will definitely devote the whole country to complete it."
The first loyal dog of the Ming Dynasty, the North Korean envoy Li Zaitai, who was personally given the name of the country by Mr. Taizu Zhu Chongba, stood up and saluted respectfully.
God is pitiful, I finally have a chance to repay Daming's father.
There is no need to doubt whether Li Zaitai's words are hypocritical, the current stick country is filial piety in dealing with Daming's father, and his mind is pure and sincere.
Not to mention anything else, after the defeat of the Ming Dynasty in history, Li's Joseon thanked the Ming Dynasty for the grace of "rebuilding Korea", and used the Chongzhen era name until 285 years.
It is said that under the rule of Jiannu, what era name to use is a very sensitive and practical issue.
In this regard, we must objectively say that the stick at this time has not been led by the US imperialism to break the rhythm, and it is still very righteous.
The lecture is so angry that it moves you.
On the issue of the era name, the Joseon royal family, which does not forget the deceased lord, behaves in a disobedient manner.
In addition to using the emperor's year name for the official documents and congratulatory tables of the Jiannu court, all other internal official documents, including the royal tombs, Zongmiao, and Confucian Temple, still use the Chongzhen year name.
The same is true of the sparse seals and notes used by the magistrates.
Not only that, in addition to continuing to use the "Chongzhen" era name, the Li Joseon Dynasty's reverence for the Ming Emperor's era name has also reached the extreme.
Whether it is a document, an ancient seal, or a horse card, or an imperial painting, as long as there is a big next year, they will be collected and treasured.
At the same time, the Li royal family's various memorial activities for the Ming Dynasty are also increasing day by day.
During the time of Renzu, every important festival, the palace had to carry out the "gift of burning incense"; During the Suzong period, the "Forbidden Garden Altar" was taught by Yichun Gate, and the Emperor Chongzhen was sacrificed to the ether prison.
Later, the "big newspaper altar" was set up in the Chuntang platform of the back garden to worship Emperor Shenzong. And with the Ming Taizu, Wanli, Chongzhen and enjoy the "big newspaper altar", and the three emperors ascended the throne, the day of the death of the day to pay homage.
This ritual is carried out every year and continues until the Lee family plays in Joseon.
As for Jiannu, they regarded them as dogs and sheep and Yidi, and privately called Emperor Jiannu Emperor Hu and Qing envoys captive.
Emperor Hyojong of Korea even took the restoration of the Ming Dynasty as his own responsibility and proposed the Northern Expedition.
He once said to the ministers: "Therefore, if you want to raise 100,000 elite soldiers, love and compassion like children, all of them are soldiers who dare to die, and then wait for them to provoke, surprise them, and go straight to the outside of the customs, then the Central Plains righteous heroes, how can there be no responders!" ”
However, the country of sticks has been a powerful cannon since ancient times, just listen to it, don't take it seriously.
But objectively speaking, the stick country is more filial than his own son in this regard.
Of course, this is also because Dad is doing well.
As early as the Ming Taizu period, he listed North Korea as one of the "countries that do not conquer", and the North Korean side has always been courteous.
Especially after the Renchen Rebellion in the Wanli period, the North Korean side thanked the Ming Dynasty for its reconstruction, and the whole country consciously formed a stronger pro-Ming atmosphere.
In the Chongzhen period, the Korean king Gwanghaejun secretly had selfish intentions, and did not do his best to help the Ming Dynasty resist the "Jianzhou Savages", and was overthrown by the pro-Ming ministers of the court, and Injo succeeded to the throne, known as "Renjo anyway" in history.
This incident made the later emperors of Joseon dare not easily oppose Ming.
Therefore, even though the Ming Dynasty has fallen and North Korea is forced to build slaves, the Korean monarchs and ministers have always been in Cao Ying's heart in Han, sticking to the nostalgia for the Ming Dynasty in their hearts.
Not to mention now.
North Korea, the first loyal dog, took the lead in expressing its stance and drove the rhythm.
The envoys of other countries also said that their countries must also do what the Son of Heaven instructs, and they must make the Son of Heaven satisfied.
Wide!
The second assistant Wang Yingxiong saw that the rhythm was good, and he hadn't opened his mouth to get to the point, and these people were so satisfied.
Looking at the North Korean envoy Li Zaitai, Wang Yingxiong opened his mouth and said softly: "This matter has little to do with you, North Korea is located in the bitter cold land of the northeast, and it is not easy for you." ”
As soon as the words came out, Wang Yingxiong regretted it.
This was no problem in the past, but when his thinking has changed today, I am afraid that the emperor will accuse him of pedantic, hypocrisy, hypocrisy, and righteousness.
However, the matter has come to this point, and there is no way to do it, mainly because the words are smooth.
He then turned his head and said to everyone: "There are many disasters and famines in various parts of the Ming Dynasty today, and there are often failures. In order to prevent the people from starving, the emperor specially asked all countries to pay tribute to grain. ”
"Master Wang, although the grain harvest in the lower country has also failed, since the upper country has made a request, the lower country must do its best no matter what.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the heavenly kingdom to recreate the lower kingdom? ”
Wang Yingxiong's polite words, the envoy of the stick country quit, and he was the first to jump out and say.
This is clearly looking down on people!
In the hearts of the stick country, Daming's father is the boss, there is no doubt about it.
And he is the second one who is the only one.
And that's exactly what happened!
At present, except for the Bangzi Kingdom, Cochin, and Siam, which have the appearance of a few countries, the other Nanyang vassal states are indeed very weak.
It is more appropriate to describe it as a tribe than a country.
"Very good, commendable loyalty!"
Wang Yingxiong didn't dare to talk anymore, and when he saw Li Zaitai jumping out, he immediately opened his mouth to praise and praise the implementation of the matter.
Or the emperor is right, stop hypocritically benevolent and righteous, Daming currently does not have this capital.
"Now, let's allocate the amount of tribute."
Thinking of this, Wang Yingxiong took out the number of lists calculated by the cabinet and the household department, and slowly began to read it.
