In terms of future generations, this time can be called the "World War Youth Edition", although it is a unilateral beating by the Ming Dynasty, and the only parties involved are the Ming Dynasty and the surrounding neighbors.

However, from the beginning of the civil strife in North Korea to the present, on the occasion of the 40th birthday ceremony of the great tomorrow, the "Beijing Summit" is about to lay the oriental pattern.

The Portuguese ambassador witnessed the meeting as an envoy from an extraterritorial country.

Louis has been in Daming for many years, and he is also middle-aged. If you only look at it from the back, it is no different from the decent official gentry of the Ming Dynasty.

This meeting was held at the Temple of Heaven and Earth, which was originally only used as an important place of worship, and now it has become more and more a special area for the Ming Dynasty to deal with the relationship between rituals and relations.

Zhu Houxi has another definition: small United Nations.

Now, this meeting is also like a meeting.

The core circle is the Ming Dynasty and several vassal states from the Ming Dynasty. In the middle, there are other vassal states that are sincerely obedient and obedient. The periphery is Tubo and other places that are far away and that the Ming Dynasty can't look at or can't do anything now.

Luis also signed a new credential on behalf of Portugal and Daming, what is the name of the strategic partner country.

Speaking of which, Alfonso is getting older. Although João III is here, I am afraid that it is a problem caused by marriages within the family, and children frequently die. And Alfonso was bound to his sister and gave birth to a son, I am afraid that he can really try to make his youngest son the king of Portugal later.

Luis still did not get the advanced ships and munitions that João III and Alfonso wanted.

In the palace, Louis, who Zhu Houxi saw first, only smiled after putting down his pen: "Far away, I would like to regard Portugal as a partner, but I must not guard against it." You have colonies everywhere, and who knows when you will covet the East again? Each with his own ability, he can continue to benefit from sea trade, and it is already supportive. ”

Louis was a little helpless: "Your Majesty the Great Emperor, with the current strength of the Ming Dynasty, how dare Portugal continue to covet the East?" ”

"This generation is like this, and it will be difficult to say in the future." Zhu Houxi's eyes were inexplicable, "I'm afraid, it will be inevitable in the future." It's just that the protagonist at that time will not be Portugal, that's not good. With the benefit of sea trade with Daming, Portugal is enough to show its strength in Europa. ”

The Ming Dynasty will also open up outwards, but it will not be like the small countries in Europe that are themselves scattered, and they will also spread out the same scattered colonies thousands of miles apart.

After laying a nail in the Ili River Valley and building a buffer zone with those Central Asian civilizations, it is more worth finding a way for the Ming Dynasty to control the Nanyang Islands and Australia that extend out of their doorstep.

It's closer, and there's a lot of springboards along the way.

Based on these major circles, it is possible to control a larger area when the technical conditions are mature, at least until the railways, internal combustion engines and wireless communications are mature.

One by one, the vassal kingdoms came over to talk separately first, and in front of Zhu Zaiqi, he was the real father; In front of the other central and peripheral country lords, he is also a loving father of the Ming Dynasty.

The emperor was generally pleasant and approachable, and had in-depth exchanges with the lords of various countries on the concept of governing the country, and introduced the experience of the Ming Dynasty's prosperity and strength.

But most of the vassal states can't learn, and as soon as they learn, they will be abolished - abolish their own power.

The backward system like a tribal alliance, what kind of enlightenment and talent are played?

It's all family bloodline play, can't the virtuous replace it? There is not much idea of giving up some of the benefits at all, and there are not so many benefits to make.

Therefore, the concept and experience of Da Ming's loving father, just listen to it, and what is more worthy of attention or vigilance is what he will do later.

"What I hope for is only harmony and friendship among the neighbors of the Ming Dynasty, mutual trust and mutual assistance, and common development."

In the prayer hall of the Temple of Heaven and Earth, the father of the Ming Dynasty said.

It was a huge round table that was very fresh, and there seemed to be no difference between superior and inferior when sitting together.

"In the past, you regarded Da Ming as the suzerain. In the past few years, I am also worried about the people, and I hope you will pay more attention to the people's livelihood, you must know that the people's livelihood is difficult and has always been the cause of chaos. Civil strife will inevitably affect neighboring countries, such as the flight of refugees from North Korea and the rampant war of Japanese invaders in the East. ”

Zhu Zaiqi nodded.

Then North Korea and Dongying were gone, and the sky changed.

"But now that I've figured it out, you all have your own difficulties, and you have to walk slowly." Zhu Houxi continued, "Even if it is a dispute over inheritance and boundaries, it is inevitable that in the future, there will be people who say that the public is justified and the mother says that the mother is reasonable. After the establishment of diplomatic relations, China does not regard itself as the suzerain, and forces you to do what you want. However, with this Huanming Federation, it is always good for the people under your rule to not use the sword and take a step back. I will worry about the people, and I will just do this step first. ”

Nearly forty large and small lords and crown princes sat at a table, and the Ming Emperor threw out a new concept.

"It's called the Federation, and it's all one family." Zhu Houxi laughed and said, "Look at the Portuguese ambassador, you can't sit here today." In my mind, there is still a difference between inside and outside. After so many years of merchant ships, you all know what Westerners are doing all over the world. Now that the Ming Dynasty has defeated the Portuguese, they dare not make a mistake, but there is always the possibility of another big trouble in the future. In case the Westerners are also strong, and the family advances and retreats together, you will all be safe. ”

“…… Your Majesty's merciful heart, little king ......"

Zhu Houxi smiled and raised his hand modestly: "The most important thing is to move more between the family." The more we come and go, the better we get to know each other. Merchant trade, education of children and talents, and recruitment and work are all beneficial to all countries. I can put it bluntly, China is still getting better and stronger, and if you rest on your laurels, you will be even more frightened in the future. Although China is a little twisted now, I believe that the monarchs and ministers of your countries will eventually think that this melon is sweet. ”

Zhu Zaiqi couldn't help lowering his head and grinning at the corners of his mouth.

His mentality is naturally different, and he is young. For him, of course, this melon is sweet. But I'm afraid that many people think that it is better for me to be free behind closed doors, and you should not disturb me.

But will all things work out to their desires?

I can control myself, but I can't control others.

If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty, it might be that some other big country or powerful country would finally knock on the door.

It's no longer the time in ancient times when you could die old and die.

In fact, it was different from what Zhu Zaiqi thought, and many people were actually relieved.

It seems that the Ming Dynasty has indeed stopped, this time it was not aggressive, and it did not force them to implement the new system internally and govern the people well.

Meng Yuan, Burma, Jiaozhi, and Jurchen, who came up before, were naturally hammered extremely hard this time, but that's the end of it, right?

On the contrary, the smoother trade relationship with the Ming Dynasty and the more equal relationship of courtesy and friendship than in the past make people feel relaxed.

The family's account is also very kind.

The Ming Dynasty no longer regarded them as ministers in the capacity of canonization, and whoever handed over the credentials to continue to be recognized and established diplomatic relations had the same authority to request canonization, which essentially did not change.

Being able to do this can eliminate huge internal and external pressures.

There are no cameras, but there are painters and national letters.

In the autumn sunshine of the prayer hall, many lords drink tea together in the afternoon, serving goodwill and harmony.

Daming is extremely well prepared, this time, the lord of each country is not wearing the official uniform used by Daming for canonization. The Weaving Bureau has long been instructed to weave robes that correspond to their identity and characteristics according to the clothing customs of many countries.

On the top of the mounds of the prayer hall, the top floor is the scene of the lords of the country smiling and drinking tea and talking.

Below, there are many painters splashing ink on the desk, Wen Zhengming is still there, and his body is very hard, who is reasonable?

Every lord of the kingdom has a copy of this scene to be painted. There are panoramas of all the lords of the kingdom gathered together in their robes, as well as their personal portraits.

Before arriving in the capital, they did not expect that they were being treated with respect as the head of a country.

In their minds, the Ming ministers, who are much more powerful than them, will be specially connected to a national lord for each counselor, so that they can feel the treatment of the Ming VIPs.

It was not a tribute, but their congratulatory gifts were reciprocated, and the long-lost gifts were worth more than them.

Zhu Houxi is very willing - how many countries have been captured?

The important thing is the back.

As the prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Zaiqian also experienced the last thing he did before leaving Beijing here.

Standing behind his father, he listened to his father's conversation with the Sultan of Johor and King Uliangha Khan.

In my mind, I remembered what my father said before I set off from the palace this morning: Dad will bury the foreshadowing of the future for you in the next half of his life. The infiltration of these countries and the co-optation of some forces do not know how many variables can be brewed over the course of a generation. The platform of the Huan Ming Federation is what you will continue to pay attention to in the future in North Vietnam, you order someone, and I will let him preside over the daily affairs here and deal with the envoys of various countries. When you sit in this position, there are many opportunities to achieve great achievements and establish prestige.

From the beginning of the year to the present, half a year has passed.

From the thunderbolt on a sunny day when he first learned that he was going to North Vietnam, to the current bits and pieces, Zhu Zaiqian really felt his father's hard work.

Now his eyes were on the eldest brother who was sitting not far away, talking to Gaifa, the lord of Siamese Ayutthaya.

Previously, in the Hall of Prayer, the Ming Dynasty showed the disposition of Burma, Cochin, and Jurchen to the countries.

In addition to the recovery of the province in the north of Vietnam, which was the land of the Ming Dynasty during the Yongle period, the country of Vietnam was set up in South Cochin, with the king of Yue as the lord of the country.

On the Burmese side, Lower Burma gave the Ming Dynasty the first real king with a different surname and Mu Shaoxun, who was the lord of a country, and the country was called Cangnan. In addition, there are three kingdoms of Mengyang, Mubang and Bagan, each of which is dominated by the marriage of the three vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty in the past. And the restored Lanna Kingdom is naturally dominated by the eighth prince born to Zhu Houxi and Lanna Wangmei.

Gaifa actually came, risking the usurpation of the throne by the ministers, and the lord returned the old land of Lanna and many new territories that he had plundered, just to gain the approval of the Ming Dynasty and help him cut off the ministers.

So now Zhu Zaiqian looked at Gaifa, who was talking happily with his eldest brother, and felt a little ridiculous in his heart.

Are you dazed not only because of internal worries, but also because of the courtesy you received after arriving in Beijing? It's no different to lure a wolf into the house.

Of course, if the eldest brother's future had a clearer possibility, he would have been able to get along with him in the north of the country - at least in the process of the eldest brother's troops to help Gaifa, the north of the country would be able to transport grain and grass to support him.

In the tone of the ceremonies that Da Mingci's father confessed, the respectful etiquette and respectful "His Highness" of the top old actors of the Ming Dynasty made many people lost I don't know. But at the dinner party that night, the heroes of the Ming literary world did not know how many propositional poems in praise of the friendship of the Federation were written.

That is the top masters of the Ming Dynasty literary world wrote a separate piece of "Respect XX Country" and "XX Fu", take it back and frame it, and you can reminisce for many years.

Among them, there is even Yang Shen, the former champion and former prime minister of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Houxi then took his hand: "It's hard to repair!" ”

“…… For the sake of the great plan, the minister ...... "He can't imagine how the history of the future will comment on his behavior tonight."

The emperor personally arranged for the top ministers of the Ming Dynasty, the top masters of the literary world, the painting world, and the calligraphy world, and during this time, I don't know how many works were used to let those vassal lords and envoys feel the literary and artistic style and friendship of the Ming Dynasty.

All in order to lay a new foundation for a new relationship in the next 20 years.

After the thunder attack, the troops were settled down, and then there was such goodwill, such respect, first frightened and then sweet, most of them were confused.

In a court like the Jiajing Dynasty, who is not superb in acting?

What's more, it is an order to act, and if you act well, it will be a great achievement.

Great achievements come great rewards.

Since the end of the "summit" at the Temple of Heaven and Earth, after the emperor returns to the Forbidden City, it will be a great reward in front of the National Assembly.

Guo Xun, Yu Dayou, Ma Fang, Xue Han, Yan Shifan...... The generals who made great contributions in the war of annihilation and now have arrived in Beijing again, both inside and outside, are rewarded for not knowing how many.

Yang Shen, Mao Bowen, Xia Yan, Zhang Jing, Yang Bo...... The ministers who wanted to pay tribute to the officials, who wanted to go to the vassal kingdom and the newly returned to the real land, were also honored.

Cui Yuan, Lu Bing, Yu Chengye...... Many relatives have been loyal for many years, and they also have a stage of merit and praise.

Guo Xun has survived until now, survived a northern expedition, and he, who has stood on the emperor's side from the beginning of Zhu Houxi's succession, finally received the top treatment of the Ming Dynasty: with the title of king, although the king of wings can only enjoy the rest of his life for two or three years, but his son is the prince of the country, and he is worthy of his ancestors and himself.

Yang Shen turned white early, but his father and son have spent their lives and achieved the highest position of Wenchen, and now he still has the throne of the country. Even if his son is not talented, there is a marquis waiting for him.

Mu Shaoxun is the king of Cangnan, Yan Chunsheng will be the king of Zhenxi, and there are many generals from foreign domains, but everyone pays more attention to Yu Dayou and Ma Fang.

is the Marquis of Hanhai, Yu Dayou is only the Duke of Qin, but this title is Qin, and Yu Dayou still leaves Daming as a first-class figure in the military in the future!

Ma Fang is still young, and he did not have a title before, and was only named the Marquis of Dingbei. As the governor of Dingbeiying, he still has a chance in the future.

Qi Jiguang is younger, this time he was only promoted to the Dongyang Naval Division as a guerrilla general, and later he opened up the South Seas, and he also had opportunities.

"Tang Taizong has Lingyan Pavilion, that is the twenty-four heroes who helped Li Tang Ding to set the world! Thousands of years later, as long as the Forbidden City is still there, Zuo Zhen and his descendants will be honored and praised by future generations! ”

After reading the will of the reward, Zhu Houxi stood up and spoke loudly.

"Now it is the 180th anniversary of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and in another 20 years, I am probably still alive. Two hundred years after the founding of the country, can the monarchs and ministers have such ambitions, and the brilliant Ming Dynasty has not prospered and declined, but is thriving? ”

Yan Song is the most proficient at things, and immediately shouted: "Your Majesty has a long life, and you will swallow eternity." The sun and the moon do not fall, and Danchen is eternal. The history is clear, the Ming Dynasty rebuilt, and the two hundred years since the founding of the country are only like when His Majesty ascended to the great treasure at the beginning of his youth, there is still a boundless world to show his strength. The world is the same, generations of sages and good ministers have been fascinated for thousands of years, and it really starts today! The achievement has not been completed, the Ming Dynasty does not dare to be prosperous, and the ministers dare not slack off! ”

The general assistant spoke, and the newly rewarded ministers, the covetous four, five, six, or seven grades, immediately learned to praise them repeatedly.

"The world is the same, and it really starts today! The work has not been accomplished, and the ministers dare not slack off! ”

Zhu Houxi suffered from this, emphasizing over and over again, it is also a kind of invasion.

"Well said!"

The middle-aged emperor is still full of vigor and sound like a bell.

"I won't slack off!" Zhu Houxi's eyes glanced at him, "Where is Wu Chengen?" ”

“…… The minister is here. ”

Zhu Houxi nodded: "Wu Qing accompanied me to return to the sacrifice, many years of gossip, years of hard work, the first volume of "Datong Immortal Ming Ji" was completed. I succeeded to the throne as a young man, and for more than 20 years, I have heard a lot of praise from the Holy Ming, and I often say that I am a god who came into the world, and what I think and think is indeed extraordinary. This first volume will be printed and circulated to hundreds of officials. The prosperity of Datong has indeed just begun. If this road continues, what kind of immortal days will fly into the sky and the earth, I wish to imagine one or two with Qing and others. ”

So the scene of the big reward was actually the emperor ordering someone to distribute a certain first volume.

Since it was impossible to see it on the spot, the emperor continued to speak.

"The old minister is doing his best for the country, the backbone has a promising future, and the new entrants have their own strengths, what can the future of the Ming Dynasty look like? The monarch and the minister do not live up to the righteousness and justice of heaven, the middle does not live up to the honor of power, and the people do not live up to the people. Only these three do not bear, the civil and military can fight for official positions and merits, and I see that you have displayed your talents for the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no reason to be suspicious. ”

"The crown prince is going to Yuebei, and my sons, clans, and relatives have also arranged a lot. I train them and trust them, in the hope that you will also see higher and farther. At the beginning of his succession, I asked why the country was rich. Today's Ming Dynasty, how rich and strong, how many times as much as at the beginning? In the future, the Ming Dynasty will be rich, strong, and arbitrary, how many times will it be today? Fighting is not a bad thing. Fighting but not breaking, going to one place and all the people can enjoy greater wealth and prosperity, and the immortal world is the right way. ”

"The lords of all countries gather in the capital, and the world is only a corner of the world! I treat them as a family because I have come to see myself as the true Lord of the world. Now, that's just what I think. But after reading this "Datong Immortal Ming Ji", I hope you also have such pride and vision! ”

"In the east of the East, there is fertile soil; In the south of the South Seas, there is still heaven and earth; The coast of the West has risen spontaneously. Above the nine heavens, the stars are arriving! ”

Speaking of this in one breath, Zhu Houxi paused, and then said sadly: "When life is poor, I can only imagine the immortal world first. But it doesn't matter, my heirs, my heirs, the heirs of all the people of China, have that picture in their hearts, and they know where to go. ”

"In the pre-Qin period, the sages pursued the ancients, and in the troubled times, they had the idea of a prosperous era of great harmony, which was their imagination."

"This imagination has inspired generations of scholars, and for thousands of years, the ideas of Ming monarchs and virtuous ministers have been getting closer and closer."

"Today, I and Qing have also started a new imagination to encourage ...... together."

At the court meeting, the sun shines in from the south of the main hall at nearly noon.

Emperor Daming said his imagination, and as he spoke, his long-term memories came to his heart.

It's just that in his imagination, the world is unified and the world is the same. The descendants of Yan and Huang are like dragons, and they weave the dream of the stars and the sea with the ability to fly to the sky and the earth.

These are very illusory, but under the rule of China, the billions of people, the one-star resources and financial resources, the per capita life expectancy and the prosperity of food and clothing, are more concrete and fascinating.

Emperor Daming seemed to be talking about a dream, but Zhu Zaiqi, who was going to "go to work" after attending today's court meeting, finally felt where his father's eyes were.

He saw so far ahead, so he was disappointed that he had only seen twenty or thirty years later, right?

Even if you can only look at it for a hundred or fifty years, you may have a different understanding.

After Zhu Houxi finished what he wanted to describe, he looked at the expressions of the ministers in the quiet hall.

Some people are a little tired, some are thoughtful, and some are excited.

He looked at the sunlight and shadows outside the hall from a distance, and smiled calmly in his heart: "Therefore, there is a great party in the world, and the monarchs and ministers must share this will." Qing and others believe that this ambition is deep and shallow, and there is no hindrance. It is important for the monarch and the minister to do this. Regardless of the heart, Zhuqing, tolerant, is great. ”

Many people's hearts sank, and they once again expressed their positions.

Zhu Houxi just smiled and bowed: "Scatter the dynasty, hold a banquet, and congratulate the heroes!" Wait until the 200th anniversary of the founding of the country, whether you can hold another Datong ceremony, and look at the future! ”

In the National Assembly Hall, the Great Tomorrow pointed the direction to an unknown number of hundreds of years later.

But at this moment, it is just that there are mountains calling long live as usual, and they are all called saints.

Lao Chen didn't think about the Datong ceremony.

But inside and outside the National Assembly Hall, Tang Shunzhi, Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Yu Dayou, Qi Jiguang, Zhang Juzheng......

They knew that the emperor's words were addressed to them, the middle-aged and young generation, and to tell them what the future direction was.

Walking on the same road with the emperor on this road, at the grand ceremony in the future, it is they who accompany the elderly emperor and take the stage as important ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

That would also be the sum of the life's work of this unprecedented generation of kings.

After kneeling on the ground and raising his head, Zhang Juzheng was suddenly stunned.

He was only able to kneel outside the hall, but from afar, the emperor's eyes seemed to be on him.

…… Xu is noon sun is already a little strong, Zhang Juzheng only felt hot.
