The Forbidden City has been newly decorated, and countless Han generals and pro-army guards wearing new armor have appeared all over the palace, and the end is extremely lively.

Today's Forbidden City is particularly dazzling and dazzling. Since the Ming Dynasty descended from Taizu, it has not been so solemn and solemn for a long time.

Groups of eunuchs walked in groups, tiptoeing lightly, and the civil and military officials also waited outside the noon gate for a long time.

The envoys of various countries have also arrived, and with the sound of a cannon, the palace door was opened, and civil and military officials and envoys of vassal states rushed in one after another. Like a long snake, the procession crossed the Jinshui Bridge all the way to the Fengtian Temple.

Outside the Fengtian Palace, there are brocade guards with knives everywhere, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry.

In the Fengtian Palace, Zhu Di's crown dress is crowning, waiting for a long time, the red crown clothes make him particularly eye-catching, the ministers enter the palace, three shouts long live, so they bow to the ground.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Zhu Di smiled and said: "Zhongqing is flat, there is no need to be polite." ”

So a eunuch came out and said in a loud voice: "The envoys of the Xuan countries have come to see you." ”

"Xuan ...... Envoys from various countries met ......"

"Xuan ......"

One by one, the voices are like a relay baton, passed on. Subsequently, the envoys of the forty-three countries entered the palace together.

The eunuch pulled his throat: "The envoys of various countries salute." ”

Most of the envoys were in order, and they bowed down to the ground one after another: "The ministers knock to see His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty......"

Suddenly...... Everyone was dumbfounded.

The big bow of three kneels and nine bows, it stands to reason that the eunuch should shout a salute, but the problem is that the eunuch's eyes widened. Don’t know whether to wind a watch or bark at the moon.

The civil and military officials were also surprised for a while, and originally stood solemnly. Immediately began to be in an uproar, and everyone was talking about it, and they were a little overwhelmed for a while.

Even Zhu Di, his moody face was pulled down at this time, and the tiger's body moved slightly.

In everyone's surprise, Hu Lu, the envoy of the Great Food, did not make a big salute, but bowed down and hugged his hands, although his mouth was also called sinking and knocking to see His Majesty the Ming Emperor. but did not kneel.

Refusing to kneel......

Many people's faces turned sallow, and the worst of them was the crown prince Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi is not stupid at all, he is responsible for welcoming this big food envoy, and in order to show that he treats the envoy on behalf of his father, he did not just go to Honglu Temple to condole, the ministers are naturally very smart, and they have played one after another. said that it was how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treated the envoys preferentially, and he wished to hold His Royal Highness the Crown Prince high, showing that the prince knew his father's intentions, and in order to fulfill his filial piety, he only ran to the Honglu Temple twice in three days.

If it is said that all countries come to the court is Zhu Di's face, and this is waiting for the envoy. It is Zhu Gaochi's political achievements.

The crux of the matter is that at this juncture, which I thought would not go wrong, I still made a mistake.

And something went terribly wrong.

Hu Lu stood awe-inspiring, standing out from the crowd, although his attitude was very respectful. But he didn't bend his knees.

It's no wonder that the whole hall was in an uproar, and everyone whispered about their own concerns.

This gift was already calculated. For this reason, Honglu Temple also sent officials to inform the envoys of various countries of the steps of saluting, which can be described as dedication, for fear that some envoys do not know the rules and make some jokes.

It's just that...... Isn't that a joke? The monarchs and ministers have been looking forward to it for so long, time-consuming and laborious, and they are eager to see through it, but what they have been waiting for is such a result.

Although this is only a form, but in a sense, the form is the most important, which shows the submission of all countries to the Ming Dynasty, the gratitude of all countries to the Ming Dynasty, represents the majesty of the Ming Dynasty, and represents the dignity of the Son of Heaven.

Outcome...... Messed up.

The eunuch who sang the salute, his eyes wandered, looking around, obviously panicked, and he didn't know how to proceed next, but at this time, Zhu Gaochi, who was red-eyed, couldn't bear it, and it was impossible for him to pretend to be stupid at this time, not to mention that Zhu Gaochu, the king of Han, was looking at himself with a smile at this time, needless to say, people were waiting for their jokes.

Zhu Gaochi was completely panicked, so he stood up and shouted, "Why don't the big food envoys worship?" Why despise the Son of Heaven? ”

Hu Lu looked calm and relaxed, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness the Prince, your subordinates don't worship, and you have your own reasons for your subordinates." ”

At this moment, everyone was even more dumbfounded, the truth is here, but who is reasoning with you, everyone called you to come, in order to wait for you to give in, you are good, come to this golden palace to reason.

It's just that people have to be reasonable, this is the court of the state of etiquette, although the monarchs and ministers are quite indignant, Zhu Di laughed instead, of course he knows that today's words and deeds, every move will be recorded in the annals of history, and there is really no need for him to be thunderous.

Zhu Di said lightly: "Oh, I want to hear it, but it doesn't hurt you to say it." ”

He didn't use Qing, but used you, obviously he was completely disgusted with this big cannibal, the big ship made Zhu Di a little uncomfortable, and the turmoil and rumors caused by the big ship made Zhu Di even more angry, and then he joined the envoys of various countries to play a joint performance, which was actually to interfere with the management of the city division of the Ming Dynasty, which involved the Ming Dynasty's national policy of banning the sea.

Zhu Di originally had high hopes for this great food envoy, but who knew that this was the result. Zhu Di laughed at this time, and laughed angrily.

Hu Lu Zhengse said: "Dashi and the Celestial Empire have long been implicated, as early as the Tang Dynasty, my Dashi prophet Mu Hanmode encouraged his disciples with scriptures and said: "In order to pursue knowledge, even if you are far away in China, you should go." Therefore, since the second year of Yonghui of Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, Da Shi sent envoys to communicate with the Tang Dynasty, and in the following hundred years, a total of 39 envoys came. At that time, not only were they sent to each other, but even the commercial trade activities between the Ming Dynasty and the Great Food were very prosperous. My big food merchant Jia came to Chang'an, Luoyang, Yangzhou, Guangzhou, Quanzhou and other places in large numbers, and many people settled down in the Celestial Empire, married wives and had children, and the relationship was very close, which can be described as a good story. ”

Hu Lu continued slowly: "And in the process of friendship, there is another allusion, my envoy from Dashi came to the court to meet the Tang Emperor, but he refused to perform the Central Plains ceremony, the Tang Emperor was furious, so he asked, why don't you worship. My Great Food Envoy replied: The Great Food Country is different from other countries, and the Great Food Country only worships the prophet, not the king, because although the Son of Heaven in Middle Earth is the king of kings, he does not dare to worship. When Emperor Tang heard this, instead of being angry, he said, since this is the case, he will allow the Qing family to do so. At this point, the edict was issued, and all envoys of the big food caravan could not worship. I admired the kindness of the Tang Emperor, so I still remember it in my heart. ”

"It is not rude for the ministers not to worship today, it is actually a custom, and they dare not disobey the teachings of the prophets, and ask Your Majesty to forgive their sins."

These words are really dumbfounded. Even the Tang Emperor moved out, which was obviously a slap in the face of Da Ming.

Then again, no one knows whether this kind of thing is true or not, after all, these are trivial matters to the Celestial Empire after all, and they may not be recorded in the annals of history, and the Great Cannibal may remember it. At that time, Datang was indeed inclusive and more open-minded, and it was expected that such things, even if they were distorted, were by no means completely fake.

But the problem is that this is the Yongle Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, and the Yongle Emperor invited everyone to come, just to ask you to have a long face, but you moved out of the Tang Dynasty and praised the enlightened Tang Dynasty. But if it is not allowed, and the person refuses to kneel, what should he do?

And this Hu Lu's face was as calm as water at this time, obviously he came prepared, in fact, before this, there were officials from the Ministry of Etiquette to teach him etiquette, and he also learned as usual, since he refused to worship, he should have said hello before, so as to teach the court to be prepared, but Hu Lu did not say hello, there was only one reason, that is, he wanted to embarrass the court at all.

Hu Lu's mood is very understandable, he has lived in Quanzhou for some time, in fact, he is half a Han Chinese, and he is very familiar with the customs of the Ming Dynasty. How could such a person not know the calculations of the Ming court? He knows better in his heart that the most important thing for Daming is face, even if he is 'rude', according to the custom of the two armies fighting and not beheading, it is expected that he will not be killed, and just because he does not worship, he will be expelled by Daming, which is obviously not very likely.

He figured out the psychology of these monarchs and ministers, they want face, and the people who want face will definitely not be 'annoyed and angry' because they don't worship, and drive themselves away? If this spreads, I am afraid that everyone in the world will laugh at the court's lack of grace, and as for the various vassal states, they will inevitably have doubts about the so-called benevolence of the Ming Dynasty.

Since he can't kill or rush, but he refuses to give in and insists on not worshipping, what can he do?

The Ming Dynasty has made many preparations for today, it can be said that it has taken great pains, what is related here, and even the legitimacy of today's son, all countries come to the court, what kind of face is this, take this face out, the history of the thousand autumns, it is indispensable to praise the martial arts of the Yongle Tianzi.

So the question arises, how will the Ming court solve it?

In fact, Hu Lu has given the monarchs and ministers a chance to step down, thinking that back then, the Tang Dynasty was widely accepted, and the business and trade with the big food was also very good, and he Hu Lu had written before, asking to relax the control of the big food merchants, but the palace did not leave the book in the middle and refused to approve it, if at this time, who of these monarchs and ministers was willing to give a promise and give preferential treatment to the big food merchants, then it would not hurt to kneel down and give these monarchs and ministers face.

This...... is Hu Lu's real purpose, the reward brought by the tribute can not satisfy his **, what he wants is a long-term meal ticket, give this meal ticket, you will have face, otherwise, everyone don't want to have steps to go down.
