Chapter 8: The First Step to the Throne.
"Your Excellency, please Saint Ann!"
"I'm there."
With the arrival of Zhu Di, the specially convened court meeting officially began.
The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and the left and the right were civil.
Under the leadership of the crown prince Zhu Chubpang, he paid a big salute to pay respects.
"Little cub, you're here!"
As soon as everyone returned to their respective stations, Zhu Di called out to Zhu Zhangui and pointed to a staircase under the dragon chair.
Zhu Zhangui, who was squeezing the third uncle Zhu Gaosui and planning to occupy a position beside him, happily climbed the stairs and stood in the position pointed by Zhu Di under the chubby smile of his father Zhu Chubby and the unhappy face of the second uncle and the third uncle.
Seeing this scene, the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu glanced at Zhu Zhanji, the emperor's eldest grandson, who was at the bottom of the stairs, and fell into deep thought.
Regarding his second brother, standing on a ladder one level higher than himself, Zhu Zhanji didn't seem to care about it, and still kept a smile on his face, but no one knew what he was thinking.
"Little, I heard you were beaten up last night."
Zhu Zhangui just climbed up.
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhangui with a gloating expression.
Zhu Zhangui, who was originally in a good mood, was mentioned by the old man, and his face immediately darkened.
The palace really has no secrets, he was beaten the first day, and he knew it the next day.
"Hahaha..."
Zhu Di laughed and stretched out his finger to point at Zhu Zhangui.
"If you hadn't sent me so much money, I'd have beaten you up. It's really heartbreaking, I know at a young age that I run away from home and deserve to be beaten. I see that your mother is still light, and she can still walk now, if I let people beat you, I will let you lie on the bed for a month. ”
"Hahaha......"
Zhu Zhangui: "......"
Zhu Zhangui's deflated expression made the ministers below laugh too.
For a while, the solemn atmosphere of the Great Court Meeting was also much more relaxed.
"Humph!"
Zhu Zhangui, who was laughed at, didn't say anything, snorted coldly, and sat on the carpet.
"Hahaha......"
Zhu Zhangui's angry appearance made the laughter that had just stopped loud again.
"Alright, let's be quiet."
Zhu Di stretched out his hand to silence everyone, and looked at Zheng He with a serious expression.
Zheng He, who was standing in the crowd, stepped forward and walked to the front of the emperor.
"Your Majesty, Weichen Zheng and Yongle ......"
Zheng He's expression was serious, and he reported which year he set off, which countries he experienced, and what diplomatic things he did.
Before and after, a total of more than a quarter of an hour.
"The king of the country where Weichen went, Jie's envoy sent an envoy to Beijing with the treasure fleet to pay tribute, and the minister respectfully asked the emperor to summon him."
Let's talk about it.
Zheng He bowed deeply.
Zhu Di stretched out his hand in satisfaction, and then looked down at Zhu Zhangui.
The old man's gaze, Zhu Zhangui pretended not to see it, and moved to the side.
Zhu Di's eyes widened.
Why is this little cub so temperamental?
Although I really want to go up and kick my feet, but considering the majesty of the emperor, I can only keep this matter in my heart, and when I find an opportunity when I turn back, I will educate this little cub.
Zhu Zhangui didn't go, so Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhanji.
Zhu Zhanji, who had been waiting for a long time, nodded in understanding and walked quickly towards the palace gate.
Looking at his throbbing steps, it was clear that he was in a very good mood.
Zhu Zhangui, who was sitting on the second staircase, just chuckled when he saw this scene.
He did it on purpose.
There is a good saying.
After being a good person all your life, and suddenly doing something wrong, many people will think that your good is pretended.
And the person who has done bad things all his life suddenly does a good thing unintentionally, and people will think that this bad person is actually not so bad, and it is likely that there is some kind of suffering.
It's the same when you're a grandson.
If you have a child who has been obedient and well-behaved since childhood, if you have a conflict with your elders, the elders will think that your child has learned badly.
The grandson, who has been naughty and difficult to discipline since childhood, is obedient once in a while, but it will make the elders happy in their hearts and feel that the child has grown up.
Zhu Di has no shortage of obedient grandsons, and Zhu Zhanji is the most of them.
If Zhu Zhangui is also obedient and well-behaved, then the two will be a little heavy.
What's more important is that as an emperor, you have to have your own ideas, and it is not necessarily a good thing to be too gullible to believe his words, or to have a weak temper.
Zhu Qiyu is the best representative.
Who would have thought that this submissive and kind-hearted little guy would carry the banner of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Di is the emperor immediately, and it can be seen from the fact that he hates Zhu Chubby and likes the belligerent Zhu Gaoxu, he likes the kind of children who jump out.
Of course, there has to be a degree in this, and if you overdo it, it's over.
Therefore, the details of this need to be carefully controlled by Zhu Zhangui.
"The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has a decree to announce that the envoys of various countries will meet in turn."
"Playing music!"
With Zhu Zhanji's communication, accompanied by the court ceremonies, the first batch of envoys strode in.
walked to the front of the hall and knelt down respectfully, bowing to Zhu Di.
"Emperor Ming Shengbowan!"
Zhu Di smiled and nodded.
"I'm there."
After worshipping Zhu Di's envoys, he got up and glanced at it fearfully, and sat on the second staircase Zhu Zhangui.
Zhu Zhangui snorted softly.
The envoys shook their bodies and hurriedly bowed respectfully 90 degrees to say hello.
Seeing this scene, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military looked at Zhu Zhangui's gaze, which was very complicated.
Zhu Di habitually touched his beard and showed a proud smile.
He Zhu Di dominates the world, and the enemy is terrified when his name is mentioned.
Although the second child is brave, he lacks wisdom and does not have much prestige on the battlefield.
As for the eldest and third, don't mention this.
Zhu Di was originally worried that after his death, his descendants would not be able to deter the surrounding Fanbang vassal states.
Now, it seems that this concern is unwarranted.
He had heard Zheng He's report.
Zhu Zhangui, the second grandson, has a good attitude towards those small countries that are respectful and respectful, and he is quite kind.
And for the kind of vassal country that is arrogant and arrogant and does not put the Ming Dynasty in his eyes, it is a river of blood.
When passing through the country of Adan, the Hu clan sent people to pretend to be robbers to rob the Ming fleet.
The result was unsuccessful, but was killed by Zhu Zhangui, who was only 12 years old, with 4,000 soldiers.
In the end, if it weren't for Zheng He's stopping, the Adan Kingdom, which was already in civil strife, would probably be destroyed.
The envoys entered in batches and bowed to Zhu Di, and Zhu Di nodded and smiled in response.
By the time the last wave of visits was over, it was noon.
Zhu Di made some speeches to appease the countries that had been robbed by pirates.
He was sympathetic to their plight, and promised to send someone to help them expel the pirates.
For Zhu Di's assurance, the envoys wept bitterly, but they didn't take it to heart at all.
Whoever the pirates are, they are all clear.
The biggest pirate leader sat on the second step of the dragon chair, looking at them with his teeth barred.
Will Zhu Di encircle and suppress pirates?
Just listen to that.
If you take it seriously, you'd be a fool.
Finally, Zhu Di announced.
In order to welcome the envoys of various countries, a garden party was held in the evening three days later.
At the end of the court meeting, Zhu Zhangui ignored the old man's shouting and ran away.
I haven't moved yet.
There's a lot of silver still in the camp.
365 beautiful maids are still waiting.
It is also necessary to select sites and open shops in various places.
3,000 guards, and they have to be recruited.
Zhu Zhangui doesn't have so much free time, so he plays with the old man.
