"Back to ...... Back to Your Majesty, 23 years ago, there was a rebellion in Miura, and later the Japanese Ashikaga General sent an envoy to ask the king to resume diplomatic relations. Although the king agreed, in the new "Renshen Treaty", the number of ships sent to Tsushima Island has been halved to only 25, and the port has also been closed to Toyamaura and Shioura, leaving only the ...... of Tsushima Island."

Jin Qi said the situation cautiously, then raised his head and peeked at Zhu Houxi's face, and asked carefully: "The contemptible country does not dare to disobey the edict of the kingdom, but I hope that Your Majesty will pity the poor and ......weak of the despicable country."

Zhu Houxi looked at him with a smile: "Recently, Japan has repeatedly sent envoys to expand trade?" ”

"The king didn't dare to agree without permission......"

"It's just small talk. The Ming Dynasty cut off the Japanese tribute trade as a punishment. I won't ask what North Korea does. ”

After that, he only talked about the affairs of the border city in eastern Liaodong.

After the establishment of the Xuanning Border Area, the scope of the three departments of Duoyan also began to transition to the official Ming Dynasty. Although the border city of Liaodong, which was originally located in Quang Ninh, will still exist, it can now add two more.

One is located in Kaiyuan, which is dedicated to the Jurchen and other departments; One is located on the bank of the Yalu River, Jiulian City, which is naturally aimed at North Korea.

Suddenly hearing this great news, Jin Qi was extremely excited.

Zhu Houxi said with a smile: "Li Yi sent his son to the envoy, and he was very sincere and respectful. I heard that when he succeeded to the throne in the past, he was also quite ambitious and reused Confucianism. Now I am carrying forward the past and forging ahead into the future, and the great Ming scholars are all learning new learning. Joseon was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was also very pleased with the king's transformation. Today, I will live long and give another grace. After you go back, tell Li Yi that once every three years, you can choose five young talents to study in Nanjing Guozijian. ”

“…… The foreign ministers, the whole of Korea, all of them are deeply grateful for the holy grace......"

"That's it."

It's as if I'm just in a good mood and doing something that I've actually done before.

In fact, in the early years of Hongwu, there were Korean students who passed the Ming Jinshi examination. The Ming Dynasty's Guozijian has also been open to some closely related vassal states. For example, in the Ryukyus, the invitation to send foreign students has never stopped.

The international students of the foreign domain are generally arranged in Nanjing Guozijian.

Now that Zhu Houxi mentioned this matter, although he only casually mentioned a grace, when the news was transmitted back to North Korea, there would definitely be an uproar.

Isn't this a clear display of appreciating the Shilin faction that is being suppressed by the old school?

And the Great Tomorrow is using the name that he wants to spread his knowledge as a new school master, and it is impossible for Jin Qi to hide this at all. The great tomorrow will definitely send a clear decree back to North Korea for this birthday, and the North Korean lord will present a thank you form according to the ceremony.

Could it be that he promised to change the issue of Li Chenggui's background, and he had to write it separately from the border city and the quasi-foreign students?

The emperor had already closed his eyes and was ready to receive the envoys of the next vassal state, and Jin Qi and Li could only retire first.

The Ministry of Rites' own officials led them back to the hall first, and on the way, Jin Qi did not speak.

Only after arriving at the Huitong Pavilion did Jin Qi knock on Li's door again, and closed the door first after entering.

Lee's heart was beating violently, and he didn't know what he wanted to say.

Who knew that Jin Qi suddenly knelt down with a big salute, and only after kowtowing did he say: "Your Highness, you must find a way to stay in Daming!" ”

"Jin Xiu, what is this for?" Lee quickly helped him up.

Jin Qi's eyes were full of tears: "The minister's family is not old, His Royal Highness can know that the one who went to the Ming Dynasty to study in the past, passed the Ming Jinshi examination and then returned to the country was the sixth ancestor of the minister, Jin Tao?" ”

Li was shocked: "There is such a thing? ”

"It's true!" Jin Qi lowered his voice and said, "Nothing that the Great Tomorrow said today does not mean anything. Now the Ming army is extremely powerful, the emperor has the ambition to swallow the four seas, and the country is in danger! ”

Li looked nervously left and right: "Jin Xiu, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Jin Qi shook his head, but still whispered: "The minister won't talk too much, and the minister can't promise anything to His Highness now." It's just that the minister knelt down to ask His Highness for the matter today, and I hope His Highness will keep it in mind. If we see each other again in the future, His Royal Highness will determine the loyalty of his ministers! ”

Li inexplicably saw him leave in a hurry and went back to his own room.

He still couldn't figure out some of the things in this, but he felt his heart beating.

And Jin Qi returned to his room, wanting to pick up the pen to sort out something, but he didn't dare to put the pen down, so he could only pace around impatiently.

The first sentence of the Ming Emperor asked about the islands in the Yalu River, and mentioned the catastrophe of humanity between the two generations of the Korean clan, and then admired Li, and finally ended with the border city and Enzhun Confucianism going to the Ming Dynasty to study, which is a big problem.

What does he know about the situation in North Korea today?

He at least knew that he was the son of Jin An, and his ancestors had a lot of relationship with Daming!

Jin Qi couldn't help but think of the envoy sent by the Ming Dynasty to North Korea, although that Master Gong has always been just drinking and writing poems and traveling in the mountains and rivers, and caring about the trade between the two countries, but who knows if he is pretending?

Fukjo-kun was first deposed and then given death, behind which was the dispute between the old school of Joseon Xun and the Shilin faction. And now, there is still the problem of relatives.

This relative is not a monolith. The current prince of Wang Shizi was born to Queen Zhang Jing, but since he was born, Queen Zhang Jing died immediately, and he was raised by the current Queen Wending. Queen Zhang Jing's brother and Wang Shizi's uncle "Da Yin" Yin Ren is allied with his father and is the son of the world. Although Queen Wending is Wang Shizi's aunt, she has always "treated Wang Shizi Li Tao very poorly".

And the fact that Queen Wending was pregnant, Jin Qi had already heard a few words from his father Jin Anlao before he set off.

If Queen Wending gave birth to a son, it would be difficult to avoid the dispute between the king's sons. Queen Wending's elder brother "Xiao Yin" is bound to find a way to put his own nephew on the throne.

If it is a daughter who is born, then Li, the second son, is the highest-ranking and weakest one besides Wang Shizi, and it is very likely that he will be selected by some people as the target of support......

Now the Ming Emperor has shown his appreciation for Li, and he also faintly expects the Shilin faction to establish contact with this second son by sending Confucian scholars to the Ming Dynasty, which is enough to prove that the Ming Emperor wants to meddle in the affairs of the Joseon throne.

Otherwise, why mention the old affairs of Yanshanjun and Fuchengjun, and also praise them as a catastrophe?

Jin Qi himself still can't figure it out, but he knows that the prince of the world, who has been tightly tied to Da Yin, and his father Jin Anlao, is only afraid that it is very dangerous.

The king was already jealous of his father's power, and the seemingly unrelated promises and graces of the Ming Emperor were bound to be found by others!

Why did the father always cut off those who might threaten the king's son? Although he has a great relationship with the Shilin faction, his father is now a Shizi faction with no way out!

The battle for the crown prince in North Korea is not over, and Kim Qi believes that the Kim family must have a way out.

He didn't tell Li to die, but now, he is in a hurry to go back to North Korea and discuss key matters with his father!

……

After it was already night, Zhu Houxi moved to the Heart Cultivation Palace, ready to meet the people of Turpan.

But before that, it was Xia Yan and Tang Shunzhi who accompanied him to dinner.

Huang Jin commanded people on the side, and rolled up and tied the two maps hanging in the imperial study.

And in the "gatehouse" on the other side of the courtyard wall, Shahan and his entourage were also eating simple food.

Neither of them spoke, absent-minded.

One afternoon, in the side hall of another palace, they had already talked a lot with several important ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

But the most important thing is obviously the attitude of the Ming Emperor.

In the imperial study, the monarchs and ministers chatted while eating.

But Xia Yan and Tang Shunzhi only ate a few bites, and they kept reporting.

Zhu Houxi listened, nodded from time to time, and finally put down his chopsticks and waved his hand, then stood up and slowly paced towards the imperial case.

Xia Yan and Tang Shunzhi also stood up and moved to the chair opposite the imperial case, while Huang Jin commanded the ministers and female officials to clean up the table, and he himself brought a plate to Zhu Houxi and them to bring tea.

"I answered that it was Yarkand, and Turpan is cold in the lips and teeth?" Zhu Houxi took a sip of tea and put down the cup and laughed, "What do you two think?" ”

Xia Yan smiled bitterly: "The soldiers are naturally looking forward to sending troops again, Yang Shangshu is only afraid that he will scold his mother." ”

Tang Shunzhi also nodded: "First and then respectfully, how can you send troops to help attack from what he asked?" Since I replied that since he was playing further west first, he would not give Daming a chance to catch him. ”

"What about the north? The north side is empty. ”

"It's hard to find." Xia Yan said, "The summer begins, the news reaches the capital, and the king moves north, and it is the middle of winter." Besides, since I replied that since I was moving westward, the northern captives would naturally remain the same as before, and hiding was the best. ”

Zhu Houxi nodded: "I am frequently in danger, even if he can win, it is not easy for the usurper to control such a vast land." ”

After speaking, he laughed: "Don't give up, don't want to wait for the dragon to return to heaven, that's a good thing, let him toss west." ”

Tang Shun's face was puzzled: "Didn't he calculate that Turpan would surrender to the Ming Dynasty under the fear of Turpan?" ”

"What about surrendering to the Ming Dynasty? He was only afraid that he had made up his mind, so that the Ming Dynasty would not only suppress the northern captives, but also defend the Western Regions. was led by his nose and kept consuming food, then he was in the middle of the plan. Zhu Houxi shook his head, "He won't want the land of Yarkand, it should be a captivity." Beiyu is his foundation, and he will not forget this. ”

"The Son of the Full Speed ......"

Zhu Houxi glanced at Huang Jin, and then said: "The account of the previous repeated invasions of Suzhou has not been settled. When he comes, I'll come. ”

A moment later, Huang Jin brought Shahan and his entourage over, and the two knelt down as they entered, with some anticipation in their hearts.

After all, they were summoned in the imperial study where the great emperor lived.

However, after they got up and stood up, Da Mingzi just said lightly: "I already know about the matter, and you have to report it more carefully in the afternoon." However, last year's war was repeated, and Daming was about to recuperate. He went back and told Man Su'er that although he hadn't led troops to Kou Daming Gansu Town over the years, it was impossible to pretend that what had happened before when he encountered a crisis. ”

Shahan listened to the translation and his heart was cold: "Great Bogda Chechen Khan, you have a big heart......"

"I am indeed broad-minded, so regardless of previous suspicions, I will start with the border market." When Zhu Houxi heard the "simultaneous interpretation" here, he directly interrupted him, "His congratulatory gift is indeed a little sincere, but it is only a little bit." It's not that I want to fall into the ground, but this is what Turpan should deal with by itself. Last year, you also allowed the Qinghai tribes of Gunbilik to return to the Hetao by the way, and this year when the general trend has changed, you will ask the Ming Dynasty to send troops to suppress me. ”

"Father Khan never dared, this time he is sincerely obedient and submitted, and he hopes that the Great Khan will protect the vassal country......"

"The Ming Dynasty only canonized the King of Zhongshun in the Western Regions, but Hami has been swallowed by Turpan." Zhu Houxi waved his hand, "Surrender or not, it depends on the performance." I have become both your enemy and the enemy of the Ming Dynasty. The vassal kingdom first fulfilled the righteousness of the domain, and then I fulfilled the responsibility of the suzerain. Now that I haven't started attacking you Turpan, what's the hurry? ”

Shahan has bitterness and can't say it.

After I answered the unification of the Khan's court, it was menacing.

This time, the Yarkand Khanate was fighting for the throne within the Khanate, and the army led by me was really a great army to destroy the country.

When the news reached Turpan, Alta was almost invincible in the Yarkand Khanate. Although the timing was indeed too coincidental, the combat strength of the Altan army really made Man Su'er tremble.

Even if it's just Turpan with an extra talisman, it's fine.

Because of this, Man Su'er sent Shahan out in a hurry. In Man Su'er's opinion, if he had the support of the Ming Dynasty and bit me in Yarkand, then the Khan court base camp in Mobei would be in danger, and I would definitely give up attacking Turpan because of this.

Now the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty looked at him meaningfully: "The Ming Dynasty and the Remnant Yuan are already mortal enemies, you are not afraid of bearing the name of the Ming Dynasty, and I will be more interested in attacking Turpan?" If you can't win against Daming, can't you still beat you? What is the relationship in the past, he knows it clearly, I will never be able to send a large army to help Turpan now, and the grain and grass will be transferred through your Turpan land. If you have the audacity to turn to help me, will the army I have sent not return? ”

"Absolutely not! Great Khan ......"

Zhu Houxi interrupted him again: "Go back." Tell Man Su'er that after I leave, he can take the land of Yarkand if he wants, why do he have to have another canonization of the lord of the Ming Domain? ”

Shahan's heart was shocked.

Could it be that Father Khan really meant that? Could it be that he wasn't really worried about me attacking Turpan?

Won't I control the whole of Yarkand?

With the canonization of the Ming Dynasty and the westward expansion of Turpan, I will be afraid of the Ming Dynasty and acquiesce in Turpan's behavior?

Shahan came to the capital not for nothing, he still brought back an achievement: if Turpan wants to improve the relationship with the Ming Dynasty, he must first accept the dispatch of the propaganda envoy, trade with the Ming Dynasty, and provide the Western Regions war horses and other goods that the Ming Dynasty needs.

As for the threat of Alta, the Ming Dynasty would not easily open up the battlefield in the west.

After a busy day, Zhu Houxi was ready to go to bed.

I can only slowly accumulate strength and look for a decisive battle in the future.

He no longer poses a fatal danger. Under the pressure of the Great Ming, he has become a tyrant who relies purely on violence and external raids to maintain internal stability and try to increase his power.

But if you really want to fight all the way to the Middle East or Europe, and get stronger military resources and talent, how easy is it to say?

For the Ming Dynasty, as long as he has the ability to seriously destroy the Tatars' lair in Mobei and drive them to the west completely, his behavior over the years will make him full of enemies in the west.

Therefore, it is the king for the Ming Dynasty to recuperate and accumulate mobile combat power.

The opportunity to manage the Tohoku and South Seas and to take a peek at Japan is something that can be done externally over the years.

Zhu Houxi recalled the reactions of Jin Qi and Li today, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

And at this time, Huang Jin also came back: "Your Majesty, Agala Jieyu has been invited." ”

Zhu Houxi nodded: "Remember the days well." ”

"Slaves and maids can be saved." Huang Jin smiled and led the way ahead.

In the emperor's bedroom, Agala knelt like a weak lamb and was worried.

But today is Bogda Chechen Khan's birthday, how can she make him have a perfect day?

The city of Beijing is still lively, and the night market is bustling.

The envoys were also accompanied by officials of the Ministry of Rites to enjoy the night scenery of the Ming capital, which was a strength not to be seen in their country.

And the master of this kingdom is also in the strongest stage of his body.

The already old Ming was rejuvenated, and her monarch was not even in the prime of life.

"Great Khan......" Agala muttered.

Zhu Houxi corrected her posture and words: "Call Your Majesty." ”

The day will come when the whole East will no longer need so many jumble of languages and titles.
