Chapter 498: Hu Tian is snowing in August!

After Zhang Zongjun sent the imperial grandson away, he returned to the room and his whole temperament changed.

He sat down on the chair, crossed Erlang's legs, and looked at the three people kneeling on the ground with disdain.

"The emperor's grandson's wedding, don't you say anything at all?"

When the three of them heard this, their brains "buzzed", and they suddenly began to think wildly. Just now, the imperial grandson left, was he angry with them?

The grandson of the Ming Emperor shouldn't be so stingy, just because he didn't give him a gift?

"Dare to ask this lord, the foreign minister came in a hurry this time, and did not prepare a congratulatory gift......

"But please rest assured, as long as the lord administers justice for my Southern Dynasty, the king of my Southern Dynasty will naturally not forget your lordship, let alone the emperor's grandson!"

Zhang Zongjun's face changed on the spot when he heard this, and he slammed the tea cup on the table to the ground with a "snap".

"You're telling me the conditions?"

"The imperial grandson is benevolent and righteous, and I can't bear to be harsh, as a courtier of the imperial grandson, I naturally want to share the worries of the imperial grandson!"

"Now I am telling a few people, if the congratulatory gift of the imperial grandson cannot be presented within two months, I will send a large army to destroy you and others directly!"

As soon as Zhang Zongjun's words came out, the envoys of Goryeo and the Southern Dynasty were dumbfounded on the spot, and only the envoys representing Li Fangyuan of the Northern Dynasty were full of confidence, and stepped forward with a few steps on their knees and presented a gift list.

Zhang Zongjun did not shy away from it, opened the gift list on the spot, and saw that there was both gold and silver, as well as Liaodong specialties, and his face showed a look of satisfaction.

"Not bad!"

"The monarch of the Northern Dynasty is loyal and brave, and the grandson of the emperor has thanked him!"

Hearing this, the envoy of the Northern Dynasty hurriedly said humbly.

"Don't dare to be an adult!"

"The reason why my Northern Dynasty was able to establish a country was all due to the support of the imperial grandson, who is our monarch's father, and we have always been filial piety since then!"

When Zhang Zongjun heard this, he pointed at the other two with the gift list on the spot.

"You all learn from others!"

"The imperial grandson is more kind to your two countries, let's talk about you first, your Southern Dynasty should have been destroyed, and it was all thanks to the benevolence of the imperial grandson, so you were released and re-established the country."

"And you Goryeo, you were originally the kings of the fallen country, and the emperor's grandson forcibly found you out of the deep mountains and old forests, and gave you a fief, so that you could continue the temple."

"However, how did you two repay the imperial grandson?"

"For such a big event as the marriage of the imperial grandson, there is no congratulatory gift at all, it is simply inappropriate!"

Under Zhang Zongjun's count, the envoys of the Southern Dynasties and Goryeo not only did not dare to talk back, but nodded and accepted, for fear of having a bad attitude and causing trouble for their country.

Fortunately, Zhang Zongjun's purpose was not to scold a few of them, and after scolding a few words, he began to talk to them about business. Zhang Zongjun flicked the gift list presented by Li Fangyuan's envoy from the Northern Dynasty, and said lazily to the three of them.

"This incident ends here, and the Northern Dynasty will not be allowed to invade the Southern Dynasty and Goryeo in the future. If there is a disobedience, my Heavenly Empire will not forgive!"

As soon as Zhang Zongjun's words came out, the envoys of the other two countries quit.

"Your Excellency!"

"The wolf ambition of the Northern Dynasty invaded many of our territories and plundered tens of thousands of our people, how can it be counted like this?"

"My Goryeo is already barren and has few people, and this time I have also been taken captive by the Northern Dynasties, so I should order the Northern Dynasties to return the captive people......

The envoy of the Northern Dynasty snorted coldly on the spot in the face of the shouts of the two.

"How can it be?"

"You can't protect the territory and the people, and you still have the face to cry in the Celestial Empire?"

"Besides, if any of your eyes saw that my northern dynasty had taken the people captive, it was the people who spontaneously followed our army back!"

"This is the will of the people, this is the ...... of heaven The spontaneous choice of the people of the world ......"

When Zhang Zongjun heard this, he couldn't help but snort coldly. If this thing dared to say the words "destiny" just now, he could directly order someone to drag this person out and cut it down!

A small country that dares to claim the destiny of heaven, I really don't know death

How to write the word.

The envoy of the Northern Dynasty himself was also frightened into a cold sweat, and secretly said that he was fortunate to react quickly, otherwise he would have caused a big disaster just now.

There are some things they can say in their own country, but when they come to the Ming Dynasty, they have to respect the Ming Dynasty in everything.

"Shut up!"

"Since this official said that this matter is stopped, it is a stop, whoever is not satisfied will go back and continue to fight, and when you are almost done, my Heavenly Empire will naturally administer justice to you!"

When the three of them heard this, they hurriedly slammed their heads on the ground.

"Obey the orders of the Celestial Empire!"

"Since you have no objection to this matter, then the official will say a few small things."

"The emperor's grandson Rende, I feel that you and others attack each other, and often commit crimes, which is really lacking in the teachings of saints."

"Therefore, the imperial grandson ordered the official to select 300 virtuous people from the Ming Dynasty and send them to the Three Kingdoms to educate the people, nurture the Li people, and promote the Confucian righteousness of the Ming Dynasty!"

As soon as Zhang Zongjun said this, the three envoys immediately looked at each other.

In these years, the people who can represent the North Korean envoy to the Ming Dynasty are all human spirits, even the Goryeo envoys, they can instantly guess the intentions of the Ming Dynasty.

Da Ming wants to change the customs of North Korea!

"My lord, the foreign ministers and others have received a lot of favors from the Celestial Empire, and they really dare not accept any more favors!"

"The virtuous and virtuous of the Celestial Empire are all great talents, and we are only a small country, I am afraid that we will not be able to let the good talents be displayed, and I hope that the adults will take back their lives!"

Zhang Zongjun looked coldly at the envoys of the Northern Dynasties who had generously made their speeches, and then at the envoys of the other two countries.

"Didn't the Southern Dynasty and Goryeo want to accept the virtuous people of the Ming Dynasty?"

The envoys of the Southern Dynasty and Goryeo glanced at each other and then said.

"Lord Hui, if you don't want to, you really don't dare."

"Humph!"

"Don't you think that the official is discussing with you?"

When the three of them heard this, they were dumbfounded.

"Huh?"

"Isn't it a discussion?"

Zhang Zongjun snorted coldly.

"Either each of them accepts one hundred virtuous people from my Ming Dynasty, or let the Ming Navy personally escort them over, you can choose for yourself."

"This ......"

Seeing that the three of them were still a little hesitant, Zhang Zongjun couldn't help but put on a smiling face.

"You don't have to be so resistant, the Ming Dynasty is a strip of water, and the same text has the same origin. Your and other history books are all written in Chinese, and you are afraid that my Ming scholars will bring you badly?"

"Besides, you use your brains to think about it, you have accepted these hundred scholars, wouldn't it be much cheaper to negotiate with Da Ming in the future?"

When the three of them heard this, their faces suddenly moved.

This is indeed a great benefit, with these hundred Ming scholars, whether they are pilgrimage to the Ming Dynasty, or to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, it is convenient, and they no longer have to look at the faces of the low-level officials.

"Since your Excellency said so, then the foreign minister will first agree to come down for the Southern Dynasty."

"The foreign minister is also willing to ...... for the Goryeo monarch."

After the two small countries agreed, the envoys of the Northern Dynasties also agreed.

"My Northern Dynasty is also willing to accept these scholars, but my Northern Dynasty is bitterly cold, the land is narrow and the people are few, I am afraid that the hospitality will not be good, and I will suffer from the high talents of the Heavenly Empire, and I hope that the adults will bear with me."

Zhang Zongjun smiled when he heard this.

"Well!"

"They went to the peninsula this time, nominally to support the development of the peninsula, but in fact, they were born in my Ming Dynasty and enjoyed the subsidies of my Ming officials."

"You don't have to love them too much, you can give them some hard work. For example, what kind of position is the prime minister, the county magistrate, in short, just reserve a third of the position for them in the court!"

Zhang Zongjun said easily, but when he heard the three of them, it was like thunder.

According to this person, isn't it true that the government of their respective countries will be controlled by the people sent by the Ming Dynasty?

Although they were reluctant in their hearts, they didn't have the courage to refuse in the land of Daming.

"My lord, this matter is a big matter, and the foreign minister has no right to decide, so I have to go back and discuss it with my king......

Zhang Zongjun waved his hand generously.

"It's okay!"

"You don't need to be too wary of them, you go back and report to the king, and tell them that the people I sent by the Ming Dynasty will only stay for four years, and after four years, all of them will return to China, and they will not stay in a small country for long."

When the three of them heard this, they immediately secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

They are really afraid that Da Ming will replace them little by little in this way.

In fact, Zhang Zongjun still hasn't said half of it, that is, these people will return to Daming in four years, but at the same time, Daming will send more people to North Korea.

However, this is a later story, he and the imperial grandson also have to see the effect of this first batch.

In order to make several envoys sell the country more thoroughly, Zhang Zongjun dropped a bombshell on the three of them.

"There is one more thing about the three envoys, which can be widely publicized when they return home."

"I, the grandson of the Ming Emperor, are sown in the four seas, and regard the subjects of the world as one. Scholars from the land of Korea are allowed to enter the Ming Dynasty to participate in the imperial examination, and those with excellent grades can be directly awarded the official position of the Ming Dynasty!"

"This ......"

The eyes of the three of them lit up when they heard this, this is great news.

Don't talk about lifting people and jinshi in the Ming Dynasty, you are a showman, and you can become the prime minister when you return to North Korea!

"Emperor Sun Rende, we will feel the five guilty!"

Whether it is the Northern Dynasty, the Southern Dynasty, or the Goryeo envoys, they are just courtiers. If you can be a courtier for the Ming Emperor, it is obviously much better than being a courtier for a small Korean country.

They even thought in their hearts, and when they went back, they would send the young people in their families to study in Daming, and then participate in the imperial examination in Daming.

"In addition, the imperial grandson intends to set up a consulate in the feudal country......

"Consulate?"

"Dare to ask your Excellency, what is a consulate?"

"The consulate can negotiate with the monarch on behalf of His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, in short, you can understand it as the special envoy of the Imperial Grandson."

"Oooh......"

"That's a good thing......

None of the envoys from the three peninsulas took the "consulate" seriously, but they didn't know that Zhang Zongjun had been pulling with them for so long, and it was this "consulate" that he valued the most.

According to his private discussion with the imperial grandson, the role of the consulate is self-evident whether the Ming Dynasty can effectively govern the peninsula in the future.

Zhang Zongjun chatted with the three of them about the details for a while, and then left in the reluctant eyes of the three of them.

Soon after Zhang Zongjun returned home, the gifts of the three Koreans were delivered, he counted them, left one percent of the gold and silver, and ordered the rest to be sent to the treasury of the emperor's grandson.

In the days that followed, Zhang Zongjun just knocked the three of them when he had nothing to do, until he sent the three away, and then he returned to work in Beigong.

As soon as Zhang Zongjun returned to the North Palace, he ushered in Chang Jizu's inquiry.

"Lord Zhang, our Ming soldiers are strong and strong, and we can set foot in North Korea at any time, so why should the imperial grandson bother talking to them?"

If someone else asked, Zhang Zongjun would definitely not even take a second look.

However, Chang Jizu is different, the Chang family and the imperial grandson are serious relatives, and they are still relatives that the imperial grandson values very much.

"General Chang, someone else asked you to ask me this, right?"

Chang Jizu smiled awkwardly when he heard this.

"Lord Zhang is wise, someone did entrust the subordinate to ask......

Zhang Zongjun guessed who it was as soon as his eyes rolled, it must be the group of people from the Ming military.

In the past few years, there has been no major war in the Ming Dynasty, and many military children are idle at home, or can only receive an idle position in the army, and there is no opportunity to make contributions.

Therefore, they are desperate to find an opportunity to fight with others, so that their children can make a career through military exploits.

"General Chang, with the current national strength of the Ming Dynasty, it is naturally not difficult to set foot on the peninsula."

"Then, what about after the peace?"

"Govern the peninsula too

It requires manpower and material resources, and the imperial grandson is far-sighted, and what he wants to do is not to spend a single soldier, and he will naturally incorporate it into the territory of the Ming Dynasty."

"Oh...... It seems that there is no fight......

Zhang Zongjun looked at the look of disappointment on Chang Jizu's face, smiled and said.

"General Chang doesn't have to worry about not fighting, when our Daming railway connects the northern border is completed, it will be the time for us to completely solve the grassland."

Chang Jizu was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Is our Da Ming finally going to make a move on Beiyuan?"

Zhang Zongjun nodded, looking at the direction of the Great Wall in the north.

"The imperial grandson has been preparing for this for three years, just wait for the railway to be completed, and then he can go all the way north to solve the eternal problems that plague the Central Plains!"

"How long will it take for the railroad to get through?"

"It should be soon......

When the land south of the Yangtze River was still lush and green, there had already been a light snow in Datong Mansion.

Zhao Mianhao didn't care about the image, wrapped his hands in his sleeves, looked at the trees on both sides of the road, and chanted Cen Shen's famous sentences.

"The north wind swept the white grass and folded, and the snow flew in August."

"Suddenly, like a spring breeze in the night, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom."

Enke Khan carried a pot of freshly scalded wine and asked with a smile while handing it to Zhao Mian.

"Is this a poem that Zhao Fuzi just wrote?"

"This poem is so well written, so appropriate!"

Zhao Mian hurriedly explained modestly.

"No, no, no, this is not written by me, this poem was written by the great poet Cen Shen of the Tang Dynasty." "Enk Khan, why are you in the mood to come out and enjoy the snow when you don't have a fire in the tent?"

The smile on Nkhan's face suddenly disappeared when he heard this, and he was replaced by a sad expression.

"Alas!"

"Seeing that the railway is about to be completed, Ben Khan ...... in his heart."

When Zhao Mian heard this, he immediately understood what Enke Khan was worried about, he was worried about the death of the cunning rabbit and the cooking of the lackey. The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden.

But it's no wonder that he is worried, after all, his identity as the former Khan of the Yuan Dynasty is too sensitive, who knows that the imperial court will not unload the mill and kill the donkey?

Zhao Mian has a good impression of Enke Khan, and in the three years of working with him, Enke Khan has been conscientiously helping the Ming Dynasty to squeeze the Mengyuan people as coolies.

Without Enkhan's efforts, the railway from the capital to Datong would have been delayed for at least three years.

The reason why this road can be built so smoothly and so quickly is inseparable from the 50,000 Northern Yuan coolies who died on both sides of the railway.

With this merit alone, Zhao Mian felt that the imperial grandson should not unload the mill and kill the donkey.

"Master Zhao, you are now the father-in-law of the imperial grandson, can you help Xiao Khan find out, and how will the imperial court deal with Xiao Khan in the future?"

Zhao Mian smiled bitterly when he heard this.

"The imperial grandson married four concubines, and the little girl is just one of them, and the old man doesn't dare to call himself the emperor's grandson's father-in-law."

"However, I will naturally ask someone about you, not for anything else, but for you to call the old man for three years, and the old man will also say a few fair words for you, a student!"

When Enkhan heard this, he immediately knelt in the snow and solemnly kowtowed to Zhao Mian.

It stands to reason that even if Enke Khan is a prisoner, he is after all a former Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and his status is comparable to that of the Ming Emperor, and Zhao Mian should not receive such a great gift from him no matter what.

If the matter was known to the imperial envoys, he would inevitably be impeached into a sieve.

However, Zhao Mian accepted Enke Khan's gift very calmly.

Because in Northland, the two of them not only work together, but also have a teacher-student friendship. Enkhan said so smoothly because of his careful teaching over the past three years.

"Nkhan please!"

"Based on the old man's understanding of the imperial grandson, since the imperial grandson promised you the title of king, he will definitely not break his word."

"In addition, we will soon enter the Datong Mansion, and Enke Khan can communicate with General Chang Sheng a lot."

"As long as General Chang Sheng can say a word for Enke Khan,

It's worth a hundred or a thousand sentences from an old man."

Nkhhan's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Little Khan understood!"

"Little Khan heard that there was a batch of supplies to Tumut recently, and Little Khan personally led five hundred warriors to assist in escorting it!"
