Houyuan, the national gift of Eastern Qin, has been sent all.

Liu Daxia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Zeng Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Zhang Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, all gathered here at this moment.

Emperor Hongzhi and Prince Zhu Houzhao were standing in front of the four-wheeled carriage of Eastern Qin, one with a gloomy face and the other with a curious face.

"Father, it's amazing that this carriage has four wheels, but it can turn freely, and it only needs one horse to pull it! It's a pity that the decoration is ugly, if you let the son change the decoration, it will be better! Zhu Houzhao's eyes were already shining.

Hongji coughed and picked up a saber from Eastern Qin, this saber showed a certain arc, and it was light and had a handle that fit very well in his hand.

In the sun, the blade is bright, and at a glance, you can see that it is made of fine iron.

Liu Daxia was fiddling with the plate armor, his eyes were full of surprise, and when he swung the arm of the plate armor, he couldn't help but be stunned.

The other two Shangshu also held a guy in their hands, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu was quite surprised by the telescope, and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Zeng Jian was quite keen on glasses.

"Your Majesty, the armor of the Eastern Qin Dynasty is exquisite, Wei Chen has never seen such a strange armor, if you wear it, you can hardly take advantage of the arrows and guns!" Liu Daxia actually laughed.

"This telescope is also a miraculous workmanship, and it is really as its name suggests, it can be seen far away!" Zhang Sheng also had a curious smile.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't say a word, took the telescope from his hand, looked at it and was stunned, and after looking at it for a while, he gave the telescope to Zhu Houzhao.

"Wow! Father! Erchen saw it...... I saw the pavilion in the distance, and I really ...... The art of the real ghosts and gods! Zhu Houzhao let out a childlike exclamation.

Liu Daxia was stunned and wanted to take a look, but he took into account that this person was the prince.

Seeing this, Emperor Hongzhi looked at him and said, "This thing can be seen far away, and it will definitely be of great benefit in military affairs!"

Liu Daxia nodded and said: "This plate armor, if there are thousands of sets in the Ming Dynasty, it can also have a miraculous effect!" Just imagine, the Tusi rebellion in the southwest, if our army has this armor, it will be a surprise soldier to conquer the city! And this plate armor is very lightweight, and cavalry can also use it! Weichen really can't figure out why this helmet can be lightweight, delicate and strong! ”

Emperor Hongzhi sighed and continued to look at Dongqin's gifts, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart.

He pointed to the breech cannon and said, "I heard that the Eastern Qin cannon is also sharp, you go and take a look!"

Liu Daxia arched his hand, walked in front of the monkey version of the breech 75 gun, and after taking a closer look, he picked up a gun and tried to reload it, and suddenly exclaimed: "This gun is far better than our army's bowl gun!"

Emperor Hongzhi also saw it, and he sighed heavily.

Zhu Houzhao was tired of playing with the telescope, he turned the mirror out, and immediately begged Hongzhi to reward him.

Since Dongqin couldn't make large pieces of flat glass, this mirror was about the size of a book, and it was an experiment made by Yan Zheng and the craftsmen, which needed to be coated with a layer of mercury tin solution.

During the production process, it was found that the amount of mercury liquid was too much and volatilized too much, so the idea of making a mirror was dispelled.

The process of making this mirror is toxic, and the process of using it is also toxic!

Hongji was upset and angrily reprimanded: "As a prince, you only know how to frolic all day long, go back to study!"

"My father has wronged my son, the book I want to read today, my son has already finished reading it, I don't believe it I will recite it to my father!"

Emperor Hongzhi sighed and waved his hand for Zhu Houzhao to take away.

Winter - Zeng Jian pressed a piano key, and everyone present was startled.

Zhu Houzhao and Hongji's attention were attracted by this thing.

Emperor Hongzhi tried to pluck it and found that this thing called a piano was not like the Yale instrument of the Ming Dynasty, but after listening carefully, he found that the timbre was extremely mellow.

Zhang Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, heard that something was wrong, and after repeatedly comparing a few black keys and white keys, he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, please let the teacher Si Si Le, come to inspect this piano immediately!"

"Why?"

"The order of black and white is the law of twelve equals with reference!"

"What?"

Everyone present was shocked, and Emperor Hongzhi hurriedly took a closer look, and found that this was the case, and after he went through the keys, he felt even more panicked.

He hurriedly asked the eunuch to consult the priest, and the group waited around the piano.

If those things just now can be called miraculous and obscene, the piano in front of you can never say the same.

For the royal family, Rilu means the astronomical calendar, which also means the induction of heaven and man!

If the Eastern Qin Dynasty had clarified the law of twelve equals first, it would have been a deep defeat for the Ming Dynasty.

About an hour later, Si Leju, the teacher of the Teaching Division, walked in with his body bent.

Emperor Hongji pointed directly at the piano and asked him to audition.

Si Le hurriedly stepped forward to play one or two, and after looking for a while, he aligned the two keys, and listened to the comparison instead.

After listening for a moment, his brow furrowed, and he realized that there were still pedals underneath it, and he tried three pedals.

Suddenly, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, can Wei Chen sit and play?"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, and immediately asked people to bring a stool.

Si Le bowed his hand to the sin, and then sat down tremblingly, and played the two keys while pedaling.

After a while, he exclaimed, "Your Majesty, this is ...... This is ...... Returning the yellow bell, the rhythm is indeed more harmonious, which is what the great sage wanted! ”

Oops - Emperor Hongzhi closed his eyes in pain, gritted his teeth and sighed to the sky.

The other three Shangshu also had solemn faces, which was even a humiliation for the Ming Kingdom.

I'll show you the instrument and I've come up with the 12 equal temperaments, but if you want to figure it out, you'll have to figure out this piano!

This is equivalent to coming up with real evidence, denying the astronomical calendar of the Ming Dynasty, and humiliating the concept of the Ming Dynasty's human induction, but the Ming Dynasty can't choose to say it.

It's just that if Yan Zheng knew, he would definitely be heartbroken, his original intention was to give a valuable gift, who knew that a piano could shock the Ming monarch more than a cannon!

"Are you sure this can really be returned to Huang Zhong?" Zeng Jian hurriedly asked.

Si Le swore an oath: "The villain has been immersed in music for decades, and he has been thinking hard, and it will not be bad!"

"Your Majesty, please seal the piano immediately, and never let this news spread!" Liu Daxia arched his hand.

Zhang Sheng also came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Please Your Majesty destroy the piano, and you must not let the world know about it!"

Emperor Hongzhi's face was extremely ugly, and after pondering for a while, he said: "Since there are really great sages in Eastern Qin, our Ming Dynasty, as a superior country, should also have the strength of a superior country, this matter ...... Go with the flow! ”

After finishing speaking, Emperor Hongzhi turned around and walked towards the Qianqing Palace tiredly.

Zhang Sheng and Liu Daxia couldn't help but sigh.

…………

Over the next few days, the negotiations continued to reach consensus.

The Ming State accepted the proposal of the Eastern Qin to lease for a period of five years, but did not accept the fact that the Eastern Qin demanded compensation from the Ryukyus.

Ashin chose to accept, and the Ming Dynasty proposed that there must be a limit on the number of troops in the Eastern Qin garrison.

Regarding this matter, Ashin Yizheng said that the garrison of Eastern Qin in the Ryukyus has always been only more than 700 people.

After Xie Qian heard this, he proposed to send envoys to Kume Island to jointly check the number of people and make a separate treaty.

Ashin felt that the matter was not a big deal, agreed to the request, and once again proposed that he could use 200,000 taels of silver as a switch fee in exchange for the opening of a small port by the Ming Dynasty to conduct legal trade with Eastern Qin.

This matter was denied, Xie Qian said that the sea ban was the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, and it must not be for a Dongqin switch.

Ashin also proposed that the Eastern Qin Dynasty hoped to be canonized by the Ming Dynasty and enjoy the tributary qualifications.

This proposal was also rejected, and the reason given by Xie Qian was that the tributary countries had already made a conclusion in the "Daming Huidian" and would not easily increase or subtract, but they could be canonized and given a golden seal.

Ashin chose to refuse, feeling that it was better not to accept the canonization without interest.

In this way, after several consultations, the Eastern Qin and the Ming Dynasty formally concluded a treaty.

The final settlement of the Ryukyu issue was announced, and the first contact between Eastern Qin and the Ming Dynasty was officially announced.
