Chapter 594: I don't pay for the appearance fee

His answer was a bit ingenious, and there were some nouns he didn't understand.

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a long time and didn't know what the sky-high appearance fee was, so he asked again.

"It's just that some people think they are a dish and ask him to come out to meet him, and they take the opportunity to extort money, and they will never come out to see you if they don't extort a large amount of money."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a suspicious face.

"Is there such a thing? However, can their face be greater than that of my Ming Emperor, even if they want an appearance fee, we should ask him, Du Shun, you go out and ask, is this appearance fee paid by me or by them?"

Du Shun went out to ask for a trick, and immediately came back to report it.

"The envoys of these two countries came in and said that they had come this time to bring rich gifts for Your Majesty, and that Your Majesty would not dare to ask for any money as long as His Majesty was willing to see them."

Lao Zhu summed it up and asked.

"Zi'an, so they should pay the appearance fee, and this matter is not a loss, it should be right to meet each other, right?"

Lu Ning replied respectfully.

"Exactly, my father is wise and martial, and what I see is also the upright Son of Heaven, and my son admires it."

Lao Zhu's eyebrows fluttered at that time and said.

"Let the envoys of the two countries come to see you, and we want to see what they can say!"

Zhu Biao pondered like this, there seemed to be a lot of awkwardness, but for a while he couldn't remember what went wrong.

He thought of the words of Hua Zanshan, the father of the crown concubine who had been favored recently.

"Since ancient times, capable people have been in high positions, and naturally they have two attributes, if they are capable ministers in the ruling world, and they are female cadres in troubled times, the emperor is too favored by a capable person, it is easy to create powerful ministers, which is quite dangerous."

So although he didn't make a clear statement, he thought about beating half of Lu Ning openly and secretly.

But looking at today, this fire was extinguished before it could be burned, and if it was stronger at this time, I was afraid that it would be thankless.

So, he hurriedly put aside his selfish distractions and waited to see what happened.

Those imperial histories and officials of various yamen who had a tacit understanding with the prince saw that the prince had no hints.

After Zhu Yuanzhang quietly waved his hand to give it a try, he respectfully kowtowed and stepped aside.

They are all guilty now, and seeing that everyone has ignored them intentionally or unintentionally, they are naturally happy to be ostriches, and they will never dare to come out to be demons again.

There is still a kind of luck in my heart, that is, these envoys continue to sue and directly sue Lu Ning.

After a while, I saw Annan's special envoy Chen Tianfeng and Tianzhu's special envoy Singh enter the Jinluan Hall with several entourages and bow three times and bow nine times.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked them.

"Now is not the time of the pilgrimage, you have come all the way to my Daming, do you have anything to say? Could it be that the kings of your two families miss me?"

The two messengers slapped a rainbow fart and kept talking.

The great tomorrow has influenced all directions, and has sent cultural communication ambassadors to make our small foreign states prosperous in culture and education, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

The draught did not forget to dig the well, and the ministers traced back to the source, which is all because His Majesty was benevolent and righteous, obeyed the request of His Royal Highness the King, and vigorously promoted it.

Therefore, on behalf of our Royal Highness the King, we express our gratitude to the Holy Son of the Ming Dynasty, so we would like to send the following generous gifts.

The Kingdom of Annam contributed 30 elephants and 50,000 high-purity gold Annam shields.

The most abundant thing in Tianzhu is the unique dancing girl, as well as 10,000 catties of Tianzhu gold coins.

Zhu Yuanzhang carefully calculated, although these things are actually valuable, they are far less than the political significance he brings.

Therefore, Long Yan Dayue just wanted to say something to give back to these envoys, but suddenly thought of the issue of the appearance fee that Lu Ning said.

"I can tell the two of you that this is the appearance fee you gave me, which means that you didn't come with the courtesy, and the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, so I will give you a courtesy exchange, and immediately write a holy decree to reward the kings of your two countries."

That's it?

The two messengers looked confused.

It's not that the great tomorrow has always been willing to be the wronged leader, even if you come to worship and only give you a straw stick, he will return you a gold bar.

Why did you accept our congratulatory gift today and give us a piece of paper, is there such a picky door?

But after thinking about it, the stipulation is that it is a three-year dynasty, and now it is not the period of the court, whether people are willing to see it or not is another matter, so it is only a loss to suffer this dumb loss.

After these envoys went down, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly took out the congratulatory sheet sent by these two envoys.

"These two envoys have come to congratulate my Daming, and they specifically mention the merits of protecting the king, how can they sound different from what you royal histories reflect? Are they lying or are you lying?"

At this time, Liu Yong, the imperial history of Zuodu, Qin Mohuan, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and Sha Lu, Taichangqing, felt that they had been entrusted by His Royal Highness the Prince just now, and they were unwilling to be lost, so they immediately went out of work and knelt down and said.

"Your Majesty, these envoys seem to know what the ministers are discussing today, and they just happened to send a heavy gift to speak for the king, perhaps, they are looking for someone to pretend to be in the king's palace, otherwise they can't say anything. Your Majesty is to be aware of it."

Lu Ning began to cry out as soon as he heard it, he said.

"Father, in the past few days, Erchen has been operating a one-stop service for weddings and funerals in the Ming Dynasty, and at this time he is presiding over other people's weddings in Songjiang Mansion, how can he have the leisure to take care of these dogs pulling sheepskins, and besides, these elephants, these beauties and these gold coins are all specialties of those two countries, and they are priceless things, and they can't get it, please ask my father to check it."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it for a while, although there are also things flowing into Daming in those two countries now, but this is the unified dispatch of the Domestic Products Division.

Lu Ning has long been out of the Domestic Products Division, even if he has money, it is still the banknotes of the Ming Dynasty, and he can't get the gold coins of these two countries.
