Chapter 156: Da Ming's Happy Event
After sending the envoys back to the room, Zhu Chen told the officials of the post station: "They are bleeding profusely today, take care of them, don't be a little lazy." ”
"Food and good wine are prepared for them in advance, and if you have a cold, you will call the medical officer if you are not accustomed to the water and soil, understand?"
In addition to political differences, etiquette in this area still needs to be in place.
The post officer nodded, "Yes!" ”
……
Outside the rooster station, officials gathered in twos and threes.
Some people were so excited that they almost jumped up, and even those who were old and serious danced with joy.
"Haha, Li Chaozhen has become our Ming Dynasty's horse farm, so that our 3,000 battalions can be expanded again."
"Haha, in the coming year, we will have a lot of cavalry!"
"That Zhu Gongzi is really powerful, he said it in a few words, and the envoys of the Li Dynasty were sweating, I don't know which prince and nobleman are the sons and daughters, and they will be important ministers of the court in the future."
The Li Dynasty paid tribute to a large number of military horses, and whoever heard it had to be excited for a long time.
These officials know the importance of military horses.
We have few horses in the Ming Dynasty, and horses have to be imported from Mongolia, which leads to a great increase in military spending on military horses every year.
But with the tribute of the Li Dynasty, the money spent by the Ming Dynasty on military horses will be greatly reduced, and even the possibility of being monopolized by the Mongols will be eliminated.
Therefore, it is nothing more than that these officials are dancing with excitement.
They were completely dazed with excitement.
"I'll invite you to the painting boat tonight and hear how the piano sounds on that card?"
"To help the fun, I pay for the drink!"
"I'll pay for the night!"
"Tonight, we have to be happy."
Zhu Chen stood on the windowsill, looked at the happy officials outside the Jiming Station, and a smile appeared on his face: "Be careful, don't be caught." ”
In the Ming Dynasty, officials were not allowed to have fun, but Zhu Chen felt that it didn't matter if he was politically enlightened.
Those officials were shocked below, and at the same time they bowed their hands to Zhu Chen upstairs: "Thank you Zhu Gongzi!" ”
Their eyes were full of admiration and adoration.
This is another group of people who believe in themselves, and they have laid a little foundation for their own rebellion in the future.
Zhu Chen sighed in his heart.
……
In the palace road, the high walls on both sides can't stop the excited Ji Gang.
The Li Dynasty made such a big concession, and the Ming Dynasty's military horses would be supplied in large quantities, which made Ji Gang not happy.
He had to report this news to the emperor as soon as possible.
He will receive the first merit of the annunciation.
Therefore, he almost ran in the palace road, and his steps were extremely fast.
"Master Ji, Gong Dao, you are walking so fast, is there anything urgent to report?"
Faced head-on, bumped into several ministers.
It was Xia Yuanji, Jian Yi, and Yang Shiqi.
Seeing Ji Gang acting in such a hurry, they asked out of colleagues.
Ji Gang elaborated: "The Li Dynasty agreed to give the Ming an annual tribute of 1,000 military horses, 100 stallions, 1,000 taels of gold, and 5,000 taels of silver. ”
Ji Gang is a person who doesn't talk much, and he picks and chooses important things to say at this moment.
But it's better not to say this, as soon as I said this, these ministers suddenly exploded.
"No way, it's impossible."
"In the barren land of the Li Dynasty, how much can he have left except for the annual expenses? Are you willing to provide us with Daming? ”
"A thousand military horses and stallions every year, hasn't this Li Dynasty become our horse farm?"
Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji, Yang Shiqi and others were completely shocked.
Ji Gang glanced at them, and didn't bother to deal with these well-known Wenchen: "If you don't believe it, I'm going to report to the emperor." ”
After that, Ji Gang left directly, and he didn't give the civil officials a good face at all.
However, these words exploded among the civilian officials.
Yang Shiqi was surprised: "The people of the Li Dynasty have already come?" ”
Xia Yuanji nodded: "Yes, it's already here, and their people live in the post station." ”
"How I don't know." Yang Shiqi said.
Xia Yuanji smiled: "How can a busy person like you know." ”
Yang Shiqi's expression was solemn: "This matter must be clarified, let's go, let's go to meet the emperor together and ask clearly!" ”
"Let's go!"
This matter is very important, it is a great joy for the Ming Dynasty, and they are not in a hurry to leave the palace.
Turning around, several civil officials walked briskly towards the palace.
……
The Imperial Study.
The crown prince is discussing with the emperor.
"As soon as the envoys of various countries come, I want to meet them."
Zhu Gaochi pondered: "It stands to reason that I, the prince, have to go and take a note." ”
Zhu Di waved his hand and said: "No need, what are you going to do, let the Ministry of Rites prepare for the palace birthday banquet on the fifteenth." ”
At this time, Ji Gang hurriedly walked in.
"The emperor, the prince, great joy, great joy!"
"Li Chao agreed to the things on the gift list, agreed to pay a tribute of 1,000 military horses and 100 stallions every year, and they have already signed the gift list"
There was some excitement in Ji Gang's tone.
He walked into the imperial study, knelt down directly, and offered the gift sheet with both hands.
When the prince heard this, his fat face was full of surprise: "What? What a military horse stallion. ”
The prince looked confused, not knowing what was going on, but when Zhu Di heard this, he laughed.
He crossed his waist and paced back and forth in the main hall.
"Haha, good! Good! ”
"Did they really agree?"
"Haha, I really agreed, this is an eight-pole can't be beaten, hurry up and send us good things."
"I had a dream yesterday and I saw countless horses running towards me, and today I will have a happy event, hahaha."
Zhu Di's laughter resounded in the hall, wild and full of energy!
Hearing this good news, the old man and everyone were excited.
The prince was puzzled, walked to Ji Gang's side, and stretched out his hand to take the gift list: "Dad, what's the matter, I can be happy to be like this." ”
"Stop!"
Zhu Di's heart tightened, and he shouted: "Get out of the way, don't be an eyesore here." ”
Suddenly there was a loud shout, and the frightened fat prince trembled, and he didn't dare to take it, so he hurriedly retreated to the side, bowing his head like a child who made a mistake.
Cold sweat, dripping from the forehead......
The prince has lived this life tremblingly, he didn't want to take it, he just wanted to hand the gift list to the old man.
Zhu Di was nervous that he knew about his grandson, so he roared reflexively.
Now seeing the scene of the boss bowing his head in fright, Zhu Di suddenly felt guilty.
The boss is in his thirties this year, right? I was so frightened by myself since I was a child, and every time I made a loud noise, the prince was so frightened.
On the other hand, the second child, who is purely shameless, dared to lose the holy decree a few days ago.
One is scolding, the other is spoiling, the second is arrogant and domineering, and the boss is extremely obedient.
Zhu Di's heart softened, and he walked in front of the boss: "Boss, Dad is not scolding you." ”
The crown prince still lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
Zhu Di sighed and said, "Dad was a little louder just now, you relax and relax, don't look nervous." ”
