"It's really presumptuous, such an arrogant act of tile spurs is equivalent to challenging my great tomorrow!"

As soon as he walked into the gate of Wenyuan Pavilion, Shen Yichen heard Yang Pu's angry rebuke coming from inside.

You must know that Yang Pu is also a member of the four dynasties, and he is cautious and low-key by nature, and he can maintain a calm mind when dealing with anything, which makes many ministers admire.

After decades in politics, I have hardly heard of any gaffes about him, what did the tile spur do to make Yang Pu so angry?

With this question, Shen Yichen walked into the inner room of Wenyuan Pavilion, and in addition to Yang Pu, there were also several Chinese scholars standing in the room.

They all stood aside with their heads bowed with panicked faces at the moment, and it was obvious that in this state, no one dared to touch the brow of the cabinet chief.

"Xiaguan Shen Yichen, meet Yang Yuanfu."

Seeing Shen Yichen walk in, Yang Pu calmed down his emotions and sat down in a precarious position: "Shen Xiu, the Ministry of Cabinet called you here because His Majesty ordered you to deal with the matter of the tribute of the envoys of the Four Yis. ”

"The envoys from all sides have arrived at the Beijing Normal Hall in recent days, and at the same time submitted their credentials to the imperial court. However, in the letter of state submitted by the North Korean envoy, there is also a copy of the 'pseudo-edict' from the tile spur, Shen Xiu, you can take a look at it first. ”

Pseudo-edict?

Hearing this term, Shen Yichen could probably guess what the arrogance he heard at the door of Wenyuan Pavilion before was referring to.

"Edict" is one of the three forms that belong to the Holy Decree, the other two being "edict" and "system". That is to say, this word belongs to the proper noun of the emperor, and others have no right to use it, and once it is used, it belongs to usurpulation.

But then again, what's so strange about the Tile Thorn Trespassing?

Except that they were nominally vassals and received the golden seal of the king, they were in fact no different from independent kingdoms. It must be said that among the three major tribes of Mongolia, the Ming Dynasty has some actual suzerainty over which tribe, that is, the Wuliang Ha Sanwei.

Of course, Shen Yichen didn't think so in his heart, and on the surface, he still pretended to be shocked and angry, and took the "pseudo-edict" submitted by the North Korean envoy from Yang Pu.

When he opened it, Shen Yichen instantly understood why Yang Pu was angry, and the tile spur was not just as simple as trespassing the "edict". In the first sentence of the opening chapter, I used a first-person pronoun that everyone in China understands - I!

That's right, this edict of the Watt Thorn was issued in the name of the "Emperor Dayuan" to get rid of the flowers, and the content still made Korea once again claim to Mongolia as a vassal!

After the collapse of the Yuan Dynasty's rule over the Central Plains, Emperor Yuan Shun fled to Mobei, still calling himself the Great Yuan Emperor, and later generations called this period the Northern Yuan.

However, under the continuous northern expedition of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, the Northern Yuan regime actually removed the "Great Yuan" emperor name, and mostly took Mongolia as the country name.

Now that the name of "Emperor Dayuan" has risen again, it is still the vassal state of Korea of the Ming Dynasty, and its wolf ambitions have been revealed. It can be said that the important ministers of the Ming Dynasty realized that the tile spur was not honest, but they never expected the other party to dare to be so bold, which is equivalent to writing the reverse word on their faces.

"What do you think about this?"

Yang Pu asked with a serious expression, Shen Yichen is an official appointed by the emperor to receive the envoys of Fanbang, which means that his line represents the majesty of the Ming Dynasty.

If Shen Yichen does not have a strategy to deal with it at that time, he will lose the face of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, it will greatly stimulate the ambition of the Mongol Tatars.

It took nine years for orthodoxy to end the war against Luchuan, and the last group of expeditionary soldiers escorted the prisoners to Beijing a few days ago. Today's Ming Dynasty is really unable to use military action to contain the tile spurs, so he has to use strategy and means!

If Shen Yichen can't afford this task, then Yang Pu will show Emperor Zhu Qizhen and ask him to receive the envoys with another person, which is the fundamental reason for summoning Shen Yichen to Wenyuan Pavilion.

Hearing Yang Pu's inquiry, Shen Yichen couldn't help but feel a touch of mockery in his heart.

At the beginning of the court meeting, he bluntly said that he was disobedient. After dealing with small countries in the Western Regions such as Hami, they will definitely move eastward to annex Wuliang Hasanwei, and then get involved in Liaodong to coerce Korea.

As a result, he was ridiculed by all parties, thinking that it was a big fuss, growing the ambition of others, and destroying his own prestige.

Now that history has not changed in the slightest, the Tile Spur Department has also begun to conquer and annex other forces in the north step by step in the name of the puppet Khan and not spending it, accumulating its own strength.

Once the entire Mobei, Liaodong, and the Korean Peninsula complete the annexation and unification, a behemoth will appear in the north of the Ming Dynasty, and it will be the time for Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty to fight again.

It's just a pity that the decisive battle of Tumubao in the fourteenth year of orthodoxy failed in the Ming Dynasty, and since then it has been unable to set foot in Mobei, the Western Regions and other places, and it was not until the Qing Dynasty that the territory of the homeland of the Han and Tang dynasties was restored.

Obviously, he told the Ming monarch and ministers about the "open card", and the plans and ambitions of the tile spur department were also first, but they were not taken seriously.

Now that I have received the "pseudo-edict" from the DPRK and come back to be angry, don't you think it's a little late?

"Back to Yuanfu, the lower official took the liberty to ask, how is the situation of Wuliang Ha Sanwei now?"

At this point, there is no point in talking about the issue of arrogance. Shen Yichen could only review some trivial matters in the East Pavilion, and it was impossible for him to pass through the music that was really related to Mongolia's strategic level.

Therefore, Shen Yichen is now eager to know where the Tile Spur Department has come first, and whether the Wuliangha Three Divisions have been annexed.

"The general army of Xuanfu sent a military intelligence report last month, and Duoyanwei, one of the three guards of Wuliangha, was harassed by the Tile Spur Department, and the follow-up situation is not known for the time being."

In the early and middle Ming Dynasty, Tainingwei was the strongest, Fuyuwei was second, and Duoyanwei was at the bottom.

Later, Duoyanwei's power grew rapidly, so in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Wuliang Ha Sanwei was directly called Duoyan Sanwei.

The tile spur department harassed Duoyanwei, with the obvious intention of selecting weak chickens to attack, and then gradually annexing all the three guards of Wuliangha. The arrogance said that it was a real thing for Korea to be attached to everything, and the annexation of Doyanwei was a real strengthening of unified Mongolia.

Therefore, Shen Yichen said directly: "Yuanfu, if you want to fight the heart of the Tile Spur Department, you have to hurry up and let the Xuanfu and Datong Guards send troops to cooperate with the three guards of Wuliang Ha to fight against the Tile Spur Department." ”

"Otherwise, once the Watt Spur Department is allowed to unify Mongolia, it will not be an edict issued to North Korea, but a soldier's point!"

Hearing Shen Yichen suddenly mention sending troops, Yang Pu's expression was a little solemn. With his political experience, it is impossible not to detect Yexian's intentions and ambitions, and suppressing the strong and helping the weak is also the basic national policy of restraining the barbarian tribes.

But the question is, is it just Shen Yichen's words to send troops?

How can military affairs be treated as child's play, and without any military analysis and preparation, how can we be sure that they will attack the Wuliang Ha Sanwei first?

Even if it really started, the three guards of Wuliang Ha were not so weak, and they could just lose both of them with the first department, so that the Daming fisherman would benefit.

Of course, the most important point is that the Ming Dynasty has just ended the two large-scale use of troops in the north and south, the treasury needs to be accumulated, and the people need to recuperate.

You must know that the reason why the Mongol Tatars are difficult to exterminate is that they can't beat and run, and it is too difficult for the vast desert northern steppe to win a big victory. In case Daming sends troops here, and the tile spur department runs away directly to avoid its edge, who will bear the loss of military expenses and materials?

Therefore, Shen Yichen's remarks are empty talk in the eyes of Yang Pu, and he ignores the difficulties of national affairs and the suffering of the people.

"Shen Xiu, whether or not to send troops has nothing to do with you, let the tile spur envoy understand that my great tomorrow is what you should do."

Yang Pu didn't want to get farther and farther away from Shen Yichen, and the problem to be solved at the moment was to make the tile spur envoys bow their heads and submit, so as to prevent them from making nonsense and making disobedient acts at the imperial banquet.

For the envoys of the four Yi to come to the court, the Ming Empire has always regarded it as a very face-saving thing. Especially Zhu Qizhen's personality is now developing in the direction of good and happy achievements, once he is slapped in the face in public, it is not only Shen Yichen who is unlucky, but also the six cabinet departments may suffer.

After all, the Son of Heaven has lost face, how can he be the co-ruler of the world?

Listening to Yang Pu's gradually stern tone, Shen Yichen understood that he had made the old mistake of exceeding the rules again.

"The lower official is rude, please forgive Yuanfu."

After admitting his mistake, Shen Yichen continued: "If you want to let the envoy understand the power of the Great Tomorrow, Xia Guan has a suggestion to set the venue of the imperial banquet in the suburbs!" ”

"Suburban schoolyard?"

This suggestion is true and somewhat unexpected by Yang Pu, Daming has never had an official who received envoys, and proposed to set up the imperial banquet venue in the school field.

You must know that the school field is the venue for drills and competitions, and the imperial banquet is set up there, are you going to watch a drill?

wanted the word "drill", Yang Pu instantly understood Shen Yichen's intentions. This son really deserves to be the bloodline of the Duke of Chengguo, and he has not considered Confucian education at all, and directly plans to use military martial arts to make the envoys feel the power of the great tomorrow!

"Shen Xiu, you are really whimsical!"

Yang Pu has been stable all his life, but he never expected to meet a fanatic like Shen Yichen who does not play cards according to the routine in the last years of his career.

"Offense is the best defense, and only if the envoys of the thorns feel the strength of the Ming Dynasty, they will be afraid!"

There is a famous saying in later generations that what cannot be obtained on the battlefield cannot be done at the negotiating table.

Sending troops to Mobei to help Wuliang Ha Sanwei resist the Tile Spur Department, Shen Yichen understood that there was no hope. Since the tile spur dares to arrogant me, it is impossible to think about it with his ass just by relying on his own three or two words of mouth cannon surrender.

Dignity is only above the edge of the sword, and if you want the Tile Thorn envoy to understand the power of the Great Tomorrow, you have to show your strength.

Show strength, nothing is better than the army sword, and the sage indoctrination is useless!

Yang Pu is cautious by nature, and Shen Yichen's radical strategy, even if he understands that the effect may be the best, it is still difficult to make up his mind.

Once a basket is poked out, no one can bear the emperor's blame!

Seeing that Yang Pu was silent and fell into thought, Shen Yichen understood that at least the other party was moved, so he hit the railway while it was hot: "Yuanfu, the letter of state of the Korean envoy must be presented to His Majesty, and the heart of the tile spur cannot be concealed." ”

"The coming of the Quartet is related to the prestige of my kingdom tomorrow, and there can be no slightest mistake or weakness, otherwise the ministers will not be subordinate!"

Shen Yichen's two sentences are equivalent to directly expressing the pros and cons. Korea was the most important vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and the edict they submitted together with the national credentials must be presented to the emperor.

Anyway, sooner or later, the emperor has to know that he is angry, and the key is to do the follow-up things beautifully.

In addition, most of the Ming states are grass on the wall, today the Ming Dynasty is strong, and tomorrow the tile spur or Burma and Annam are strong, maybe all of them will defect out.

The southwest direction has always been unstable, and if the envoys of the tile thorn are rude in public, they will make the other states realize that the Ming Dynasty is not as strong as imagined, and there will be endless troubles in the future.

The most important point is Shen Yichen's selfishness. It was really poured blood mold and was arranged to receive the envoys of Fanbang, Zhu Qizhen still thought that he had seen the grand occasion of the Quartet coming to congratulate and the eight directions, and did not put the Tartars and barbarians in his eyes.

As a result, now that everyone else is kicking their noses in the face, who doesn't put anyone in their eyes. If Zhu Qizhen is slapped in the face, Shen Yichen doesn't know what will happen to others, the biggest black pot must be his own!

If it is not handled well, the career will end on the day of the royal banquet. No matter how unlucky it is, the death day may also be the same day......

"The banquet venue will be held by the Cabinet Department to show Your Majesty, and other affairs are the special envoys of the Son of Heaven, so act cheaply!"

Yang Pu understands the reason, but he has no intention of sharing the black cauldron......

Since the suggestion was made by Shen Yichen, and he was still the official who arranged the reception of the envoys by the Holy Decree, it was already a big risk for him to agree to change the venue of the banquet.

As for other things, Shen Yichen has to take care of it himself.

Envoy of the Son of Heaven?

Shen Yichen clearly remembered what Wang Zhen said at the beginning, he was the envoy of the Son of Heaven who served as the surrender ceremony, and the reception of the envoys of Fanbang was dealt with together with the officials of Honglu Temple, which envoy was it?

Besides, the emperor of the imperial banquet is here in person, do you need an envoy from the Son of Heaven?

Damn, it's really fucking cunning, and the pot is clear.

"Then the lower officer has one last request, I hope that Yuan Fu will negotiate with the military department to mobilize some sergeants of the three major battalions to escort the captured soldiers of the Southern Expedition to the school field on the outskirts of Beijing!"

The military department of the Ming Dynasty had the right to transfer troops, and the governor's office of the five armies was the right to command the troops. Such a small-scale temporary transfer of the Beijing battalion can be handled by the military department on its own.

But the problem is that Shen Yichen is not familiar with the secretary of the military department, and Xu Xi is still Wang Zhen's person. Now that he has a gap with Wang Zhen, it is impossible to go to him for help, so he can only ask Yang Pu to negotiate.

This kind of thing is not necessarily enough for the Orthodox Dynasty except for the "Three Yangs" who can negotiate, and the follow-up Chen Xun and Cao Nai's prestige are not enough, and the Sixth Department will not necessarily give this face.

"If Your Majesty agrees to set up a banquet venue on the school grounds, the Cabinet Department will do as you wish."

Yang Pu finally helped again, and he also wanted to see how capable Shen Yichen was and whether he could handle this matter well.

"Xie Yuanfu!"

After saying these three words, Shen Yichen breathed a sigh of relief, people speak softly like this, and they have to be restricted everywhere.

Three days later, Shen Yichen received an edict from Zhu Qizhen, and he was very angry about the matter of the thorn and the subordinate, and agreed to change the venue of the banquet to the school field on the outskirts of Beijing, and at the same time officially granted him the status of a special envoy and had full authority to deal with the tributary matters!

Obviously, the "pseudo-edict" of the tile spur made Zhu Qizhen feel embarrassed, and even he was a little annoyed.

After all, Shen Yichen had repeatedly warned that he should vigorously beware of tile spurs, and if he indulged it, he would suffer endlessly. Zhu Qizhen originally wanted to prove that he was right, and let Shen Yichen receive the envoys of Fanbang to feel the awe, respect, and surrender of the Quartet to the Ming Dynasty!

This is good, Shen Yichen hasn't felt it yet, but Zhu Qizhen himself has been slapped in the face.

With the authority of the Holy Oracle, it will be much more convenient for Shen Yichen to do things next. He first consulted with the officials of Honglu Temple about the ritual steps of the audience, and then agreed with Guanglu Temple on the ceremonial furnishings.

In the end, he went to the three major battalions and post stations, and transferred Li Da and others to the school field on the outskirts of Beijing with Wang Zhen, a thousand households of the Southern Army.

It can be said that after this busy circle, Shen Yichen can be called exhausted, and even in order to save time, he directly lived in the military camp on the outskirts of Beijing.

At night, in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, blazing bonfires were lit everywhere, and three or five soldiers sat around the fire, chatting and enjoying a rare relaxation.

Shen Yichen also sat by the bonfire with Li Da and others, without the slightest frame of a civil official, this scene attracted frequent sideways glances from the soldiers in the battalion, and their eyes were full of respect and admiration.

"Tomorrow is the tributary banquet, have the camp formations been properly trained?"

Shen Yichen asked Li Da and the others.

The so-called great tomorrow's prestige, to put it bluntly, is built on the prestige of the Ming army.

The reason why Shen Yichen named Li Da and others was because he didn't know enough about the Ming army, so he could only choose the most secure way to know the roots.

As for the soldiers of the Southern Expedition, Shen Yichen had already felt it at the surrender ceremony, and the slaughter emanating from them,

As for the soldiers of the Southern Expedition, Shen Yichen had already felt at the surrender ceremony that the solemnity and majesty on their bodies were actually different from the state of being on the battlefield.

"Big brother, don't worry, I may be free to do anything else, there is no discount on the training, and I guarantee that the four Yi at the imperial banquet will see the might of my Ming soldiers!"

Li Da patted his chest and reassured, and Shen Yichen did not doubt this.

Because this kid has been proud of his military generals from beginning to end, and it is his dream to fight on the battlefield.

"Returning to Shen Xiu, the brothers who followed the lower officials to Beijing were all killed from the sea of corpses and blood, and the absolute order is forbidden!"

Wang Zheng also did not show weakness, since ancient times, the border army and the Beijing camp did not like each other, and they disagreed with each other.

Now that he can appear in front of the Son of Heaven, he has to press the other party well and prove that he is the strongest army of the Ming Dynasty!

"It's as if no one has ever killed anyone, but the combat power of the barbarians in the south can be compared to the Tartar iron cavalry in the north?"

When it comes to actual combat, Li Da has a weak advantage. However, this kid has always been unconvinced, and he is unwilling to show weakness in front of the border army anyway.

Listening to Li Da's words, Wang Zheng just smiled faintly, whether he had seen blood or not, he could feel it at a glance.

Li Da, the son of a military general, is indeed not lazy and slippery in training, but no matter how much you practice, it is different from the real battlefield environment.

Only when the sword sees blood, can you be called a real warrior!

It would be fine if Wang Zheng retorted, but he smiled and didn't speak, which simply suffocated Li Da to death. As a martial artist, I have never been on the battlefield, this is the essential disadvantage, and I can't win by mouth cannon alone.

"Okay, since it's all practiced properly, then tomorrow will raise my might!"

"The next official will live up to the trust!"

Wang Zheng directly knelt down on one knee to receive the order, and in his heart, Shen Yichen not only gave him the opportunity to face the saint, but also gave the respect and dignity of the soldiers of the Southern Expedition.

If a confidant dies, he will not disappoint Shen Yichen.

Looking at Wang Zheng's actions, Li Da was a little embarrassed. After all, Shen Yichen was his childhood friend who grew up with Yingtian, and it was really unaccustomed to letting him receive the order as a pure subordinate.

However, gritting their teeth, Li Da and the others still saluted and received their orders.

Public is public, private is private, and soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty!

After a night, before dawn, a large number of people from Guanglu Temple came to the school and began to arrange the ceremonial furnishings of the imperial banquet. Soon the officials of the Shang Bao Division also rushed over, and with them came the emperor's throne.

After the sky was slightly bright, Jinyiwei, Jin Wuwei and other guards of the Son of Heaven were also present, and they were responsible for the emperor's guards and honor guards. In the end, it was the mighty officials who followed behind the royal car and came to the school field on the outskirts of Beijing.

Zhu Qizhen on the royal car was expressionless, obviously not in a good mood. Since he succeeded to the throne, he has made many expeditions to the south and the north, and he believes that his martial arts are not inferior to his ancestors, but he got the news that the Northern Yuan Dynasty was resurrected and the tile spur was called me.

How could he endure this?

"Minister Shen Yichen, knock to see Your Majesty!"

Seeing Zhu Qizhen arrive, Shen Yichen came to salute in front of the royal driver.

"Shen Aiqing is flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Today's school tribute, I have relied on you, don't let me down!"

Zhu Qizhen didn't know what Shen Yichen was going to do, but under Yang Pu's words, he chose to believe it.

Today, hundreds of civil and military officials, the soldiers of the border army of Beijing are all present, and there will be envoys from Fanbang to meet later. If Shen Yichen is playing, it will not be as simple as disappointment.

"The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust!"

At this moment, Shen Yichen could only bite the bullet and say the scene.

To be honest, he didn't know what order Wa Thorn also gave to the envoy first, if the other party really rushed to give Da Ming a horse, then it would be useless to do anything by himself.

In fact, in the past few years, the tribute has also been given to the Ming color in a sense. He wantonly falsely reported the tributary contingent and opened his mouth to ask the border army for grain and grass, completely without the consciousness of being a minister.

Not long after Zhu Qizhen arrived, the envoys of Fanbang, who had been waiting outside the school grounds, began to line up and walked in to prepare to meet the Ming Emperor.

As a result, I didn't expect that just one entry, what worried Shen Yichen happened. The Korean envoy, who was supposed to be at the front of the tributary envoys, was pushed to the back.

In front of the Ming Emperor and hundreds of officials, such an arrogant and arrogant Fanbang mission is none other than the Tile Thorn Mission!
