The sentence quoted by Zhu Houzhao in the ninth year of Yongle is the original words of Ashikaga Yoshimori, the fourth shogun of the Muromachi shogunate, and it can be seen in the history books, which is clear and verifiable, and there is absolutely no half-truth.

Ashikaga Yoshimochi didn't dare to be a minister on his face, so he pretended to be a god, which is really ridiculous.

In the past, everyone didn't mention these words, but now it's different.

Ouchi Shoichi and Hosokawa Kaede were members of their respective families, which shows that these two daimyo attached great importance to maintaining their relationship with the Ming Dynasty.

Now, they are asked with their heads on their heads, and they can only deny it head-on,

Ouchi Shoichi said: "His Majesty the Great Emperor doesn't know, the ancestor of the Ashikaga family is not the ancestor of my Ouchi family, and what Ashikaga Yoshisai said, our Ouchi clan does not recognize." ”

Hosokawa Kaede also followed, "Yes, the Hosokawa clan doesn't recognize it!" ”

"Don't recognize it?" Zhu Houzhao frowned, his expression was majestic, "Ashikaga Yoshisai said, the spirit of the gods entrusted people to say: Our country has not been a vassal to foreign countries since ancient times, and it will not be subject to foreign missions in the future. According to what you are saying now, have you even denied the words of the spirits, yes or no? ”

The Emperor's words were full of anger and unquestionable force.

For these two Japanese, they didn't know what majesty was, but they just felt that the Ming Emperor was relying on the military power of 'thousands of masts' to press them to speak.

This is what is said in the "Zizhi Tongjian", Yidi, birds and beasts, fear of power but not virtue.

"Yes! As His Majesty the Great Emperor said! ”

Zhu Houzhao curled the corners of his mouth, this is indeed the Japanese national character in his impression, and he even doesn't recognize his own spirit.

"Good. Since you are a minister to the Ming Dynasty, then I am the king of Japan, and you are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty. Ouchi Shoichi and Hosokawa Kaede, you two quickly bring back my will, three things, first, tie up all the people who originally blackmailed and blackmailed me in Daming City, and hand them over to Daming for disposal, remember, don't leave out a single person; Second, whether it is the Ouchi clan or the Hosokawa clan, you can discuss a way to unify all the craftsmen who secretly learned from my Ming dynasty to raise silkworms, reel silk, and weave cloth, and the Ming Dynasty will send ships to transport them out of Japan, and from now on, the Nanyang countries will not allow Japan-related goods to appear, otherwise I will let the Ming sailors attack the Japanese merchant ships! ”

"Your Majesty the Great Emperor!" Before Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, Ouchi Zhengyi was already panicking, "The foreign minister begs His Majesty the Great Emperor, my Japanese country is biased overseas, my heart is to the Central Plains Zhengtu civilization, and learning from the Ming Dynasty is also the common belief of the daimyo everywhere, even if I really want to punish, I sincerely ask His Majesty the Great Emperor to change the way, don't break the hope of the survival of the small country!" The territory of the Ming Dynasty is thousands of miles, a steady stream of talents are emerging, and it has been the upper country of Japan for thousands of years, I hope that His Majesty the Emperor will be gracious, and the adults will not remember the villain's mistakes, and forgive us for our mistakes this time. ”

Zhu Houzhao pointed at him, "You said that you are committed to the civilization of the Han people, but you only learn a superficial thing, and the king is a minister, don't you understand?" What does the word etiquette mean? I am the Son of Heaven, when I speak, how can you speak?! ”

"The foreign minister knows his mistake! Your Majesty the Great Emperor, please calm your anger! ”

“…… Thirdly, I heard that the Japanese had secretly learned the technique of building a 2,000-material treasure ship from the Ming Dynasty, and like the second one, those ships and those craftsmen were sent to the Ming Dynasty. You can say I'm overbearing, but I'm unreasonable to treat villains like you. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Houzhao's tone began to become more and more severe, "Through the disgusting methods of blackmail, blackmail, stealing, etc., I secretly learned the advanced technology of my Daming, and I still have the face to beg for mercy even though the East Window incident happened, you who are so shameless are really ridiculous in the eyes of me, the son of heaven who rules all the people!" ”

Shoichi Ouchi and Kaede Hosokawa are about to crack.

It has never been in their memory that a monarch should insult a foreign envoy with such vicious words.

They were even more incomprehensible as to why Emperor Zhengde was so unabashedly ill-intentioned towards them.

But as envoys, they also have their own boundaries of power.

Ouchi Shoichi said: "The three requirements put forward by His Majesty the Great Emperor are quite harsh, and the Ouchi clan must have acted according to His Majesty's will, but please also ask His Majesty the Great Emperor to understand that Japan is now in the Warring States Period, and the Ouchi clan cannot control the entire territory of Japan, so even if he agrees, he is still powerful and inadequate." ”

Hosokawa Kaede was even more shameless, he said: "Your Majesty the Great Emperor, the Hosokawa clan did not participate in the case you mentioned, this matter must have nothing to do with the Hosokawa clan, please Your Majesty the Great Emperor do not spill your anger on our heads, and continue to maintain normal trade with us." ”

Zhu Houzhao sneered, "I don't care what the Ouchi clan or the Hosokawa clan are you, none of you can represent Japan, that's your business, and you still expect me to wipe your ass for the dirty things that come out of your own house?" As long as there are Japanese people planting mulberry trees, even if they are not exporting silk, but only exporting raw silk, I will send troops to ask for the guilt, and in the same way, as long as Japan dares to build another treasure ship of 2,000 materials, it will definitely be attacked by the Great Tomorrow Army. From now on, don't say anything about the heart to the Central Plains, learn sincerely, you have learned, how did you learn? Ashikaga, Ouchi, Hosokawa, who one of them gave me a piece of music and asked for learning?! ”

The atmosphere is not right.

Shoichi Ouchi clearly felt it.

If it was a few years ago, he didn't care, the Ming Dynasty couldn't do anything to Japan.

But this time, after watching Wu Wending's Daming Water Master, coupled with today's incident, he suddenly felt that things were not so simple.

So his heart was crossed, and he immediately said: "What His Majesty the Great Emperor pointed out today is indeed a mistake made by Japan. In order to dispel the anger of His Majesty the Great Emperor, and to show our sincerity, I wonder if His Majesty the Great Emperor can agree to the Ouchi clan to pay a certain amount of gold and silver tribute to restore our relations as before? ”

Zhu Houzhao groaned slightly,

Listening to this Ouchi Shoichi's words, it seems that the Ouchi clan has indeed mastered some silver mountains.

Otherwise, where did this confidence come from?

Ouchi was anxious, and his intuition told him that this powerful great tomorrow must have moved that aspect of his mind in his heart, and seeing that there was no response, he increased his weight and said loudly: "...... The foreign minister once again asked His Majesty the Ming Emperor for mercy, and the Ouchi clan was willing to pay a tribute of 500,000 taels of silver! ”

"There is no mention of silver in my request, and I am rich and do not need your silver. Now in July, at the end of the monsoon, I will have Admiral Wu Wending escort you back to Japan. ”

"Your Majesty the Great Emperor!" Ouchi knelt down with a pout, "Spare your life!" Hosokawa, don't hurry up and kneel down and ask Your Majesty to forgive Japan and save this disaster! ”

But Zhu Houzhao is not uncommon, they kneel this time.

"You've overdone this. In fact, what is the importance of these technologies? Japan's production will never be able to catch up with the Ming Dynasty in scale, and the treasure ship of 2,000 materials will become an old technology in a few years. But every time I think of the Japanese in the land of the Ming Dynasty, arrogantly threatening the officials of the Ming Dynasty, this heart will crack with anger! I regard it as a disgrace to the Ming Dynasty, a disgrace to me! ”

Zhu Houzhao walked down, glared angrily and said, "So you don't understand, you don't understand how much fault you have made!" I swear that Japan will pay for this! No toleration! ”

This......

Ouchi was faced with a kind of fear.

He was even stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, Ouchi...... The Ouchi clan is willing to do their best to catch these wrongdoers for His Majesty and ...... Ahem, and hand over their families to Your Majesty, these, these can be done, please forgive Japan with His Majesty the Great Emperor! If gold and silver are not allowed, any other conditions, as long as Your Majesty speaks, the foreign minister, the foreign minister will definitely find a way to do it! ”

Zhu Houzhao suddenly calmed down here.

He breathed a long sigh of relief and said indifferently: "Come on, let them retreat!" ”

For more than ten years, he has used all kinds of tricks and tricks in the court, and even emotions have been used in it.

But not this time, that's his mood. He really couldn't accept that the Japanese were shouting at the land of the Ming Dynasty with their heads held high.
