"I've seen my father, my eldest brother, and all my lords. My father has a long life today, and my son should return to Beijing. Zhu Su said with a smile. It should have been picked up more completely, and then marched into the palace to congratulate. ”

"But halfway through, I heard that someone is actually disturbing my father's Yaxing today?" As he spoke, his eyes swept to Kong Xixue and the envoys next to him, and he looked at Zheng Mengzhou who was mixed in with the many envoys.

Zheng Mengzhou only felt his heart skip a beat, and the eyes of this Fifth Highness were like a knife, which made him feel restless in an instant.

"Why did His Royal Highness the Fifth say this, the old minister also puts state affairs first." Seeing Zhu Su suddenly appear, Kong Xixue was in a panic for a moment, originally wanting to take advantage of the absence of this Fifth Highness in the country to step up the solution of Xinxue's matter, and when he came back, the dust had already settled.

But now that the Fifth Highness has returned, Xinxue can be regarded as having the backbone. And look at how much His Majesty loves this son...... Kong Xixue felt the pressure.

But these pressures were actually still in his expectations, after all, it was the well-informed Yan Shenggong, and when it came to the end, he quickly calmed down. "His Royal Highness is young and vigorous, and it is understandable that he is proud of his military achievements."

"It's just that I shouldn't misinterpret what the ancestors of my Confucian family said, vainly claiming to be a new learner, and lying about the avenue. You must know that the country is bound to decline, His Royal Highness has conquered the Japanese, causing the nations to be afraid, and now he is going to separate from my Ming Dynasty, isn't it a clear proof? ”

"Frightened?" Zhu Su looked surprised. "The reason why these envoys of the Fan State are kneeling here is because they are afraid?"

"That's right, Father." Without waiting for Kong Xixue to answer, Zhu Su suddenly seemed to think of something. Turning his head to Lao Zhu, he said: "Father, the son entered Beijing this time, but he didn't come alone. ”

"There is another person who crossed the sea with his sons and came here to congratulate his father on his eternal life."

"Hehe, since you brought people back, you brought them directly into the temple. Declare! Lao Zhu said with a smile.

Liu Bowen, who was still about to be listed, turned back silently, and even Zhu Biao, who was already a little angry on his face, also regained his indifferent princely demeanor. How could they not see that Zhu Su's sudden appearance this time was clearly aimed at Kong Xixue.

Let's look at the means of the five highnesses.

The emperor gave the order, and soon a man was brought in. The visitor was dressed in an ochre yellow robe, wearing a strange high crown, but his stature was surprisingly short, as if he wanted to use the crown to support his height. He lowered his head and entered the hall, first looked at Zhu Su's face, and then knelt down towards Lao Zhu: "King of the lower kingdom, meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

The king of the lower kingdom? The hall soon resounded with a burst of surprised whispers, this short man who was not amazing in appearance was actually a king?

"Father, this is the king of Guishan after the Wa Kingdom, and he admires his father's righteousness in helping you, so he insists on entering Beijing with his sons and ministers to congratulate his father on his birthday."

Houguishan Wawang nodded again and again, and learned the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty and said to Lao Zhu: "What His Royal Highness King Wu said is very true, Xiao Wang has always admired the holy monarch Tianyan of the kingdom, and he also thanked the kingdom for eliminating treachery and rebellion for our kingdom. Xiao Wang is very fortunate to be able to celebrate his birthday today. ”

"The lower country is poor and despicable, and there are no treasures, but they only contribute 10,000 taels of gold, 100,000 taels of silver, more than 50 Japanese knives, and more than 100 Japanese women......"

"I would like to congratulate the Lord."

This gift list, even if it is among the many vassal states, also stands out from the crowd and is full of sincerity. Other countries pay tribute, in fact, most of them are meaningful, and there are animal skins and local products. Even Goryeo, who seemed to be the most submissive, only gave a thousand taels of silver, plus some mink and Korean ginseng.

Where is it like this Wa country, as soon as it is shot, it is 10,000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver...... Isn't this emptying the entire treasury of the Wa Kingdom?

"This, how is this possible?" There was silence in the hall, but Kong Xixue couldn't help but be surprised. He never expected that Zhu Su would really invite the king of the Wa Kingdom. Moreover, this king of the Japanese kingdom is so humble and obedient.

As far as he knew, weren't the Japanese all brutal people who were brave and ruthless, burning and looting? When have you ever seen a Japanese man so deferential?

Looking at the puzzled looks on the faces of the envoys of Luzon and other countries, Kong Xixue knew that he had to let go at this time. Since the beginning of his entry into Beijing, he has already made up his mind.

If these envoys believed that the Ming Dynasty was indeed helping the Japanese state, he would not be able to use the name of "benevolence and righteousness" to obtain moral righteousness. Persecuting the emperor is never an easy task. On the one hand, he was so sure that he believed that the emperor would not take the risk of turbulent foundations of the country's great road to adhere to the illusory "pioneering and enterprising" policy. The second is that he Kong Xixue is already ready to die.

As long as Confucius is not extinguished, even if the sun and the moon turn and the dynasty changes, the Confucian family can also survive forever.

However, Xinxue has already broken away from Confucianism, and if Xinxue is popular, the Confucian family is tantamount to being drawn from the bottom of the kettle.

He can die of Confucian learning, but the Confucian family cannot die.

"From ancient times to the present, there has never been a lord of the country who has personally entered the court to congratulate the suzerain. And His Royal Highness is fighting fiercely in the Japanese country, plundering countless lands, how can the Japanese people be happy and convinced? ”

"Didn't this person falsely claim the name of the king of Wa and come to deceive Your Majesty?"

"This lord is saying that this king has found someone to deceive the king?" Zhu Su's eyes narrowed slightly.

Kong Xixue arched his hand and said to Zhu Su: "The old minister naturally does not dare to slander His Highness. In fact, this matter is too contrary to common sense, and it is really unheard of for the lord of a country to personally enter the court to congratulate him. ”

"Perhaps, this person is not a Japanese king, but just an ordinary Japanese pretending, and even His Royal Highness has been deceived by him, and it is unknown."

"Yan Shenggong's words are unreasonable." Liu Bowen came forward and said. "His Royal Highness the King of Wa has come all the way here, and the national letters and tributes are all there, and he is walking with His Royal Highness all the way."

"How can it be a fake?"

"The Japanese have always been cunning, and perhaps when they were in the Japanese country, His Royal Highness deceived them. After all, His Royal Highness is young and does not know the evil of people's hearts. "Kong Xi learned Shi Shiran and said." The minister is not saying that His Highness is incompetent, but it is always appropriate to be suspicious. ”

"It's the minister's voice."

As he spoke, he bowed to the King of Houguishan and no longer dwelled on this matter. There is no need to take this matter seriously, just mention it and leave a pimple in the hearts of the other envoys. They would have chosen a more secure way because they were worried that the Ming Dynasty was deliberately playing tricks to paralyze them: that is, to continue to help the Confucian family and unite to force the Ming Emperor to dismiss the fierce Xinxue.

The Houguishan Wawang was originally a puppet, but when he was targeted by Yan Shenggong like this, he didn't dare to show displeasure, but he returned the salute a little awkwardly, and turned his head to look at Zhu Su's face.

Zhu Su smiled freely and said directly to Yan Shenggong: "It turns out that this old man is Yan Shenggong of the Kong family. ”

"If you don't say it sincerely, this king still thinks that the boss is not surnamed Kong, but surnamed An, surnamed Cai, and surnamed Jia."

An Lushan, Cai Jing, and Jia Nidao are all famous people in history. Kong Xixue's old face stiffened, and finally he couldn't help but show an angry face.
