It's another bloody slash!

Zhang Ziduan's head is different.

The imperial officials present had bloodless faces, and at the same time, they were all secretly recalling the words of His Majesty the Emperor:

"The establishment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is to strive for greater interests for the Ming Dynasty by non-military means!"

Ma Shiying and other Ming officials heard such a definition for the first time, in their previous understanding, the Ming was the suzerain, and it was appropriate to give preferential treatment to the surrounding feudal states and even sacrifice interests.

But at this moment, they realized that the Ming Dynasty should value interests in dealing with foreign vassals.

"The Yongjia Rebellion, the Anshi Rebellion, and even the fact that the Jianyu almost destroyed my Ming Dynasty, these are all the tragedies of the foreign captives who have happened in China, and before the tragedy, whether it is the Western Jin Dynasty or Li Tang or my Ming Dynasty, why not give preferential treatment to these foreign captives, but what are the consequences, you don't understand!

If it is not of my race, its heart will be different! The law of the jungle is the way of heaven! If you want to achieve the Ming Dynasty, you want the people to abide by the law and not rebel, and the wealth and nobility of the gentry will last for several generations, so you can only take the benefits of foreign countries to realize China! And sacrificing the interests of China for the sake of peace in the world is tantamount to a farmer with a snake and finally being devoured by a poisonous snake;

You always say that it is ominous to use swords and soldiers, and it is unkind to sacrifice human lives, and what is the role of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is to enable you to maintain the dignity of the Ming Empire without swords, and strive for more benefits for the people of the Ming Dynasty from the hands of foreign vassals;

Today pit him an acre of land, tomorrow talk about him a city, this is a really good diplomat, and even necessary, I can let the imperial army cooperate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to do things, let you sing the main tune! ”

When Zhu Youzhen said this, the officials of the empire had to think about it carefully.

They had to admit that they had never heard such a point of view, but they could not help but admit that what His Majesty seemed to say was very reasonable, and it could not be described as deafening.

"Thinking carefully about China since the millennium, to now I have the Ming Dynasty to dominate Shenzhou, several times there has been a chaotic world, the original reason is that the outside is not strong, the internal is not lenient, the so-called benevolence should be for the people of the country, and the tyranny should be for the outside, today Your Majesty's holy teachings, ministers and other great enlightenment!"

After Ma Shiying finished speaking, he knelt down:

"Minister, Ma Shiying, listen to the hadith!"

"Minister, Li Yan, listen to the hadith!"

"Minister, Huang Zongxi, listen to the hadith!"

"Minister, Qu Shiyun, listen to the hadith!"

"Minister, husband of the king, listen to the hadith!"

……

Because of Ma Shiying's annotation, the imperial officials present also understood, and at the same time, they sincerely followed Ma Shiying to bow to the Ming Emperor Zhu Youzhen and ask for advice.

Under the dazzling light, the vermilion Forbidden City was plated with a layer of gold, and Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

At this time, most of the people who could still stay in the court were no longer pedantic, and basically maintained the same political concept as Zhu Youzhen, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youzhen is confident that he can take them together to make the Ming Empire move towards a more glorious future!

The main officials and adjutants of Yangzhou and Nanjing did not escape punishment.

But this major case did not leave too much haze on the empire, but because of a touch of blood in the peaceful and prosperous times, the rulers of the Ming Dynasty understood a lot of truths and saw the road ahead of the empire.

Yi Lianqi made a speech on behalf of the cabinet and the police headquarters on this major case, and invited hundreds of newspapers and media throughout the Ming Dynasty, which also let the entire Ming people know for a time why the imperial court wanted to kill two Shangshu in a row, and also let the Ming scholars see the determination of the imperial court to safeguard the interests of the people.

In this way, the cohesion of Daming in China has been further enhanced.

……

About half a month later, Ma Shiying, the first assistant of the cabinet, had to remind Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen: "Your Majesty, the matter of the Korean tribute has been delayed for a while, do you think it is to be directly expelled from the country, or how to deal with it?" ”

Zhu Youzhen, who was leisurely cutting the tip of the potted plant, listened to this, and said: "There is no need to rush to expel it, according to the current strategic deployment of the Ming Dynasty, there is no plan to attack Korea by force, since people are here to pay tribute, let him pay tribute, just let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs take this opportunity to fight for some interests in North Korea and prepare for the conquest of the Japanese state." ”

As he spoke, Zhu Youzhen stood up, handed the scissors to Ma Shiying, and beat his waist that had been bent for a long time and was a little sore, and said: "But before the tribute meets me, I have to let them pay back the money they spent in Nanjing, and if they can't pay it back now, they can write a contract first and stipulate the repayment period." ”

Ma Shiying didn't expect His Majesty to remember this, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, Weichen will ask them to write a contract first." ”

……

"What, we have to pay for the money we spent in Nanjing, is the Celestial Empire so stingy?"

Li Xuan, the prince of Linping of North Korea, didn't dare to scold loudly now, but just complained.

"Why, you still have opinions, you didn't ask you for a penny for eating and drinking at the post station and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and when you are going to drink flower wine and talk about pomp and circumstance in Nanjing, you still want us to bear the money, no way! You are here to pay tribute, not to enjoy the blessings, and you will not pay it back, right, then you will stay here until you are willing to pay it back! ”

Yi Lianqi, who was in charge of contacting the North Korean mission, turned around to leave after speaking, and instructed: "From now on, if their food and drinking water are cut off, and now that they are unwilling to repay their debts, they will not be tributary, and I have no obligation to provide them with basic hospitality." ”

Seeing this, Li Xuan, the prince of Linping, of North Korea, shouted anxiously: "Slow! Since you want this gentleman to repay, this gentleman to repay is, take the contract, this gentleman signs, but frankly speaking, this gentleman is very disappointed in your Ming Dynasty, very disappointed, what kind of heavenly kingdom is this! Phew! ”

Syllable!

Yi Lianqi slapped him directly: "You don't have a long memory, are you, what kind of thing are you, dare to insult my Daming, come here, drag it out, first scold the twenty boards, and then let him sign!" ”

"You, you dare to hit me, you".

Li Xuan was very angry, but he didn't dare to say anything more, and at this time, the police had already forcibly dragged Li Xuan out.

The North Korean envoy Li Xuan was also a little frightened when he saw the big wooden stick in the hands of the police officer, and hurriedly said: "This gentleman is wrong, this gentleman is wrong, isn't it okay!" Can you stop hitting me! ”

"How can you have the final say on whether you fight or not, if you dare to speak out to me, you should be taught a lesson and beaten hard by this official!"

Yi Lianqi shouted.

So, the North Korean envoy Li Xuan was pressed on the bench, and the wooden stick with the thick arm was directly knocked down, which immediately made the North Korean envoy Li Xuan's buttocks jump, and he screamed in pain: "Ah! It hurts! It hurts! ”

"Do you dare to speak disrespectfully and answer this official", Yi Lianqi laughed at this time and asked.
