Everyone was stunned, and the monk Sanxiu suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiao Feng, and the meaning of Sodisne finally appeared in his eyes.

No wonder General Xiao Qin has repeatedly told me not to underestimate the enemy, it seems that this Xiao Feng really has something, and he reacted so quickly.

At this time, everyone hadn't figured out what the Japanese monk had to do with the belonging of the Ryukyus for so long in order not to kneel, and even the Ryukyu prince looked at Xiao Feng puzzled.

Xiao Feng said lightly: "The Ryukyu Kingdom is an island country on the sea, very close to Japan, but it has always refused to bow to Japan and is willing to be a vassal of China.

Since the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Ryukyu Kingdom has always considered itself a vassal state of China, and by the time of the Ming Taizu, it was even more frequent and loyal.

Although China is large, it has never interfered in the Ryukyus. However, no matter who became the emperor of the Ryukyu Kingdom, he always asked China for canonization. The reason for this is the admiration and sense of belonging to Chinese culture.

The master is bent on proving that Japan is the inheritor of the Tang Dynasty culture, and he is nothing more than to show that Ryukyu should have been a vassal state of Japan in the first place, right? ”

Everyone suddenly realized, and the Ryukyu prince jumped up even more excitedly, pointing at the monk Sanxiu and scolding: "Shameless people, what kind of monk is he who helps the abuse!" ”

The monk Sanxiu was not angry, and looked at the Ryukyu prince gently: "The poor monk is just reasoning.

The Ryukyus are supposed to belong to Japan, both in terms of distance and culture. ”

Xiao Feng smiled: "So the master risked his life and came to Daming to reason." If Da Ming can't talk about you, naturally he shouldn't interfere in this matter.

If Da Ming kills you in a fit of rage, it will be annoyed and angry, and it also shows that Da Ming is unreasonable, bullying the weak, and letting other countries guard against Da Ming.

You deliberately rushed to the time when the envoys of various countries gathered in the capital, and deliberately caused trouble to force the imperial court to summon them publicly.

Well, it's really a talent, it's really a way, Xiao Qin has a good vision, and the master has a lot of courage. ”

Monk Sanxiu didn't deny it, nodded and said, "Heavenly Master is right, that's exactly the case, but do you have anything to do?" ”

Xiao Feng smiled and said: "No matter how loud your abacus is, it is all based on one foundation, that is, you have to be able to win, right?"

Once this foundation is gone, all other targets will be empty buildings and collapse in an instant. ”

Monk Sanxiu nodded and smiled: "That's right, Heavenly Master might as well give it a try?" ”

Xiao Feng sighed: "In this case, it is as you wish." Let's talk about the fact that you don't kneel to Banzai, what kind of etiquette do you follow? ”

Monk Sanxiu said with a smile: "Since ancient times, the Buddha only knelt to the Buddha, not to the emperor, and this was the case in the Han and Tang dynasties, doesn't the heavenly master know?" ”

Xiao Feng nodded: "I see, that means that the master has to be a monk in order to be exempted from kneeling in front of the king, if he is not a monk, he can't be exempted, right?" ”

Monk Sanxiu nodded and smiled: "Naturally, if the poor monk is not a monk, naturally there will be no such rules." ”

Xiao Feng suddenly sneered and said: "What crime should the bold bald envoy dare to pretend to be a monk and try to confuse the eyes of the envoy and avoid the envoy from kneeling?" ”

Well? Everyone was stunned, and their hearts said that you turned your face too quickly, right? Just now, there was a master, and suddenly the master became bald?

Sanxiu was also stunned, but he reacted very quickly: "What does the Heavenly Master mean by this?" A poor monk is a monk, so how can he talk about pretending to be a monk? ”

Xiao Feng shook his head and said, "You're just a bald man, not a monk." How do you prove that you are a monk? ”

Sanxiu was stunned again, he shook his sleeves: "The poor monk wears the clothes of Buddhist monks, and he also performed the ceremony of shaving, so he is naturally a monk." ”

Xiao Feng sneered: "Is a monk so easy to be? Shave a bald man and wear clothes to be a monk?

So if you keep your hair and put on a dragon robe, will you be the emperor of Japan? ”

Sanxiu was speechless for a while, but he couldn't find out what was wrong with Xiao Feng's words. He quickly reached into his arms and felt his own degree.

The Japanese monk's degree system was indeed learned from the Tang Dynasty, but the style was slightly different, and not every monk had it.

If the Japanese want to become a monk, there are generally two channels. One is to worship monks as teachers, and the master will shave them and obtain monk qualifications, which is often not a degree.

The other genre is moderate, which is generally certified by the government. The ancestor of Sanxiu is Yixiu, and Yixiu is the official certified host of Dade Temple, so it belongs to the school that has a degree.

Sanxiu secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately he belonged to the official faction, if it was the folk faction, today it was really a monk who met Xiao Feng, and it was unreasonable.

Xiao Feng took the three rests and looked at it, and couldn't help laughing: "Can this thing prove that you are a monk?" ”

Sanxiu nodded and said: "This is the degree of the poor monk, so it can naturally prove that the poor monk is a monk, right?" ”

Xiao Feng shook his head: "This degree is not only different from my Ming Dynasty's degree, but also different from the Tang Dynasty's degree."

In that case, how can you prove that this thing is not a fake used to deceive people, just like your monk's robe and bald head? ”

Sanyu frowned and said: "This degree is known to be true in my country, so how can it be faked?" ”

Xiao Feng smiled: "You are unreasonable in what you say. Whether you recognize it in Japan or not, we don't know. Since you want to pretend to be a monk, naturally do a full set of acts.

Now the question is, since you don't want to kneel down to me Long live Daming, you naturally need to prove to Daming that you are a monk, is there any way you can prove it? ”

The envoys of various countries still felt that Xiao Feng was a bit nonsense at first, but at this time, they suddenly felt that this matter was indeed reasonable.

When you go out, your identity is given by yourself, do you say you are what you are?

If you say that you are a monk, you don't have to kneel, and everyone will do this in the future, won't it be chaotic?

Sanxiu was silent for a long time, he had been fully prepared to debate Chinese culture with Xiao Feng, but he didn't expect Xiao Feng to unexpectedly question his status as a monk.

Naturally, it is not written in the national letter that he is a monk, because this hand was originally intended to give the Ming court a dismount, and spoilers in advance are worried that the Ming Dynasty will be prepared.

But it is not written in the national book, and the evidence I took out is not recognized, and I really have no way to prove that I am a monk!

It is important to know that the monk is not a eunuch, and there is a more direct way to prove it. Pretending to be a monk only needs to shave your head, and this determination and sacrifice can be borne by everyone, and it cannot be the same as pretending to be a eunuch.

So...... Sanxiu gritted his teeth and made the last struggle: "The poor monk has been practicing for a long time, and the Dharma is also profound. ”

Xiao Feng shook his head again and again: "I don't have the time to discuss the knowledge of Japanese monks with you, because that won't prove anything at all."

Does someone who understands Buddhism have to be a monk? Does it have to be a cat that can catch mice? Does the one who understands the art in the room have to be the woman in the green building?

As far as I know, Master Yixiu likes to visit Qinglou, and the taste is quite heavy, is Master Yixiu a full-time prostitute, or a small minister? ”

Sanxiu was furious, but he couldn't refute it, because Master Yixiu was really good at this, otherwise he wouldn't be called a mad monk, he thought about it, and there was nothing he could do.

"According to what the Heavenly Master said, the poor monk really can't prove that he is a monk."

Xiao Feng smiled: "Since you can't prove that you are a monk, then your identity is only an envoy to the Ming Dynasty, and the envoy must abide by the rules, please." ”

Sanxiu gritted his teeth and said: "The poor monk has never knelt down to anyone in Japan, what if the poor monk does not kneel?" ”

Xiao Feng sneered: "I didn't beat you before, because Da Ming was reasonable, and he didn't want the envoys of various countries to think that Da Ming was arrogant and unreasonable, and he bullied the weak."

But if you are unreasonable yourself, is my Ming court so easy to bully? Envoys, what do you think? ”

The envoys of various countries nodded again and again, and they all felt that what Xiao Feng said was very reasonable. The Korean envoys, who had always been at odds with Japan, expressed their stance directly.

"This person pretended to be a monk and despised Da Ming, he should have been beaten, beaten him!"

The Ryukyu prince was even more excited: "Fight, don't kill him much!" ”

Sanxiu sighed, knowing that he was overshadowed by Xiao Feng, he was originally standing on the moral high ground, Da Ming dared to move himself, and even if he died, he would be famous in history.

Now he has been kicked down by Xiao Feng from the moral high ground, and has become an unreasonable party.

If an unreasonable envoy is really killed, it is lighter than a feather, not only will the envoys of various countries not react, but they may also become the laughing stock of history.

Sanxiu thought that he still had a full stomach and didn't play well, so he was really unwilling to be beaten and expelled, not to mention that he hadn't completed the heavy responsibility of General Xiao Qin, what face did he have to go back?

Sanxiu took off the monk's robe, knelt on the ground, and bowed to Jiajing, waiting for Jiajing to say flat.

Jiajing seemed to have fallen asleep suddenly, his eyes were closed, and he didn't move, almost snoring. Everyone didn't dare to speak out, so they could only wait silently.

Sanxiu knelt for a long time, and his knee, which he had never knelt before, was so painful that he couldn't stand it, so he moved slightly, trying to stand up.

Xiao Feng reminded with a smile: "Kneel down, if you stand up without speaking, it is also unruly, you can bear with it again." Long live the lightness, and generally wake up naturally after sleeping for half an hour. ”

Sanxiu gritted his teeth, didn't say a word, and said in his heart that if you have the ability, you will let me kneel here, and your face may not have brilliance.

At this time, Jiajing slowly opened his eyes, as if he had just seen the scene in front of him, and he looked a little surprised.

"Didn't the Japanese envoys call themselves Buddhas and refused to kneel? Why is that? ”

Huang Jin explained very seriously: "The Japanese envoy could not prove himself to be a monk, so in the end, he knelt down and kowtowed according to the rules of the envoy. ”

Jiajing sighed: "Then let's be even, the Ming Dynasty intersects with various countries, although there are big and small, but they have always served people with virtue, and they don't care about these false courtesies." ”

The people of the host and guest division breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly shouted: "Excuse the ministers!" ”

Sanxiu was so angry that he took three deep breaths in a row. I don't care about these false courtesies, what the fuck are you doing for so long?

Amitabha, sins and sins, poor monks should not be rude.

"Master Xiao Tianshi, since the poor monk has already bowed, there is naturally no need to worry about the identity of the monk. Let's move on to the question of the ownership of the Ryukyus!

The Ryukyus are very close to Japan, so naturally they are Japanese territory. It was only because of Ryukyu's admiration for Chinese culture that they had always paid tribute to China as a vassal.

Nowadays, Japan is the orthodoxy of Chinese culture, and the Ryukyus are reasonable, so they should naturally be my Japanese vassals.

In this way, Japan's conquest of the Ryukyus is an internal matter of Japan, and it has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty! ”

Xiao Feng listened carefully and nodded again and again: "The master is reasonable, the region is close, and the culture belongs, it does sound like this!" ”

Yes? The Ryukyu prince looked at Xiao Feng in amazement, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also looked at Xiao Feng in horror, and even Xu Jie's mouth opened wide.

Xiao Feng, I just want to get you out of the court, I don't want your life, why do you run to your own death, and you have to bring the scourge to Daming?

Only Jiajing was relatively calm, just raised his eyelids slightly, and then drooped again. He is now gradually familiar with Xiao Feng's routines, and he is more at ease.

Sanxiu was surprised, but he was also secretly happy: "The Heavenly Master is so reasonable, it can be seen that the Ming Dynasty is really still a state of etiquette, although it is not as much as the inheritance of Japan, it is not much different." ”

Xiao Feng nodded again and again: "Of course I'm reasonable, but I don't know if Japan is unreasonable." As an envoy, the master will not deny the truth that Japan said, right? ”

Sanxiu suddenly changed from a bald man to a master, and he felt that he had the upper hand, so he was naturally full of pride, and he consciously prospered with his words, and opened his mouth angrily.

"This is natural, since he is an envoy of a country, how can he not represent the reason of a country? If you are not sure, the poor monk will not say anything! ”

Xiao Feng smiled: "According to the master's reasoning, Ryukyu should still be a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, not Japan, because the Ming Dynasty is closer to the Ryukyu." ”

Sanxiu frowned, how could this guy be reasonable for a while, and mess around for a while? How could the Ming Dynasty be closer to the Ryukyus?

"What the Heavenly Master said, what is the basis, you might as well take it out and let the envoys of the countries comment on it."

Xiao Feng nodded and said, "Master, do you know that Dawan has been Chinese territory since ancient times?" Today, Dawan is still under the rule of Daming! ”

Sanxiu was shocked, he knew what Xiao Feng was going to say: "Heavenly Master's words are wrong, Dawan Island is not ruled by any government, it has always been a place where pirates gather, and there is no basis for saying that it belongs to China!" ”

Xiao Feng smiled: "I said that since ancient times, there is naturally a basis. As early as the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan, the king of Wu, sent 10,000 officers and soldiers to Dawan Island.

At that time, the history books were called Yizhou, and since you claim to be familiar with Chinese culture, you should not know about it. Since then, all dynasties have not severed contact with Dawan Island.

Especially in the Yuan Dynasty, there were inspectors in Taiwan. In my Ming Dynasty, Ming Fujian fishermen traveled to and from Dawan Island, such as into their own yards.

If this does not show that Dawan Island belongs to China, does Japan have any more favorable evidence to prove that Dawan Island does not belong to China? ”

Sanxiu thought about it and decided that he couldn't be led by Xiao Feng's nose, and he wanted to change the track and drive again.

"Since ancient times, there has been no land for grabbing, and it is not enough to rely on.

Putting this history aside, Dawan Island is now clearly a gathering place for pirates from all walks of life, and we have to look at the present! ”

Xiao Feng looked at Sanxiu strangely: "Does the master mean that who a place belongs to, you don't need to look at history, just look at who actually occupies it now?" ”

Sanyu was just about to answer, but suddenly realized the trap in these words and immediately closed his mouth. Xiao Feng looked at him and sneered.

If this is the case, it is no wonder that Japan dared to occupy the Ryukyus. What you think in your hearts is that it will become the present after occupying it anyway, as for who belongs to him in history, who cares about him?

In this way, whoever occupies it anywhere is whom, regardless of the previous ownership.

That is, whoever can fight will rob you, is this the truth of your Japanese country? Is this your Japanese culture? ”

Sanxiu knew that he couldn't open his mouth, so he smiled bitterly: "It's the poor monk who lost his words, it's not true." The Heavenly Master said that Dawan Island once belonged to China, and the poor monks had no objection.

It's just that from a practical point of view, Da Ming has not sent people to Dawan Island for a long time.

There is neither a garrison nor a stream official, so it is a bit reluctant to say that Dawan Island belongs to the Ming Dynasty, right? ”

Xiao Feng nodded secretly in his heart, this monk is really not simple. Once many opponents are caught with sore feet, they will be in a hurry and lose their words.

But the monk Sanxiu was able to quickly stop the loss and always tried to break free from Xiao Feng's train of thought.

He pointed out that in fact, the ownership of Dawan Island is rather ambiguous, because he understands a key truth.

He didn't have to win today, but to weaken the influence of the Ming Dynasty on the vassal states. As long as Da Ming shows an unreasonable attitude, it is enough.

In addition to the admiration for its strong national strength, the vassal state's return to the Ming Dynasty is more of a cultural belonging.

If you only rely on force to conquer, then once the force is weakened, naturally no one will hold you.

The Mongols conquered half the world, and as soon as their force weakened, the huge empire immediately fell apart and fell into ashes, which is why there was no culture.

The Tang Dynasty flourished and declined, and the dynasty changed, and all countries in the world still remembered the scene of the Tang Dynasty, and immigrants from all over the world were still proud of the Tang people, which was the reason for cultural conquest.

Although the Ming Dynasty is not as good as the Tang Dynasty, there is no shortage of loyal fans, after the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by the Manchu Dynasty, North Korea has been using the Chongzhen era name until 265!

Emperor Chongzhen, as a relatively short-lived dynasty, has the longest era name in history, which can be called unprecedented and unprecedented! That's the power of cultural orthodoxy!

Think about it, when you open a book of Korean history, it is written that in the two hundred and sixty-fifth year of Chongzhen, what happened to the big things, how and how, how do you feel?

Therefore, the task of the monk Sanxiu is to make the envoys of various countries feel that the Ming is unreasonable, and a country that is unreasonable and only talks about force, the people's hearts will be scattered, and the team will be difficult to bring!

Therefore, he proposed that there is no Ming garrison on Dawan Island now, and there are no Ming Dynasty officials, saying that the Ming Dynasty territory is relatively reluctant, which is the purpose.

What he said was human nature, if Xiao Feng couldn't make a reasonable explanation, even if there was a foreshadowing from ancient times, the other envoys would naturally feel that Da Ming was a little unreasonable.

The monk of Sanxiu won without victory, and the Ming Dynasty was defeated without defeat.

Xiao Feng smiled indifferently: "Master, how do you know that Da Ming has no garrisons and officials on Dawan Island?" ”

Monk Sanxiu was stunned for a moment: "Dawan Island is not far from Japan, if there is a Ming garrison on Dawan Island, we will naturally know about it in China." ”

Xiao Feng said with a smile: "In the past few decades, Daming has always had a Daming garrison on Dawan Island, and officials have visited it many times!" ”

Monk Sanxiu smiled: "Then please ask the Heavenly Master to clearly say, which army is it, and which official is it?"

If you can't say it, isn't it like the poor monk's degree, which can't be proved? ”

Xiao Feng said with a smile: "The garrison is the First Fleet of the Daming Naval Division, the Zhenhai Fleet. The official in charge is General Zhenhai of Daming Sanpin, Wang Zhi! ”
