There have been no major events in the DPRK and China recently, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Tinghe hasn't made Jiang Xia unhappy in recent days, so in general, Jiang Xia has been quite comfortable in recent days.

Ten wives in the family are by his side, and occasionally accompany them on outings or boating on the lake, which is also a great joy in life.

And in the backyard of Xiaoyao Mountain Villa today, Jiang Xia, Xue Ruqin and the others all watched nervously as Yi Crab took the pulse of Cui Rushuang and Cui Niannu.

After taking the pulse, Yi Crab nodded to Jiang Xia and said, "You didn't diagnose it wrong, it is indeed a happy pulse." ”

"Okay!" "Great!" "I'm happy, I'm happy!" "Sister Niannu and Sister Rushuang are going to add Ding to Xianggong." The eight women were excited, speculating whether it was a man or a woman, or twins, triplets or something. Guess what kind of name Jiang Xia will give to the child. Guess what kind of woman the child will marry in the future......

Jiang Xia rolled his eyes, if this continues, I am afraid that the two children have not yet been born, and the question of where to take care of the elderly when they are old will be settled together by this group of women.

In fact, according to Jiang Xia's meaning, you can wait a few more years to have a child. However, Nian Nu and Rushuang have indeed married him for a long time, and if they wait any longer, they will really despair, I am afraid that they will think that they will not be able to have children at all.

Of course, they would never doubt it, this was actually Jiangxia's problem.

Now that Jiang Xia no longer uses the Imperial Maiden Heart Sutra to control, I am afraid that it will not be long before all the wives in the family will take turns to start getting pregnant.

Seeing Nian Nu and Rushuang, they were about to shed tears when they were happy, and Jiang Xia also laughed. Although it was earlier than planned, he was about to become a father, and he was also very happy in his heart.

Jiang Xia got up and announced, "Okay, let's hold a big banquet today, and everyone in the villa will celebrate together." ”

"Okay......" Xue Yi said with their hands clapping.

At this moment, Han Mufeng entered the backyard, he walked to Jiang Xia's side and pulled Jiang Xia's sleeve. Jiang Xia turned to look at him, and then followed him to the side.

Han Mufeng said: "Yili has brought the envoys into the city. ”

"Oh, if you enter the city, you will enter the city, anyway, the officials of Honglu Temple will go back to receive you, is it possible that I will go to greet you in person?" Jiang Xia said nonchalantly.

Han Mufeng shook his head: "You'd better go and take a look, this time there are nearly a thousand envoys in Yili's group." ”

"What?" Jiang Xia's eyes widened.

Because he was busy preparing for the commodity trading market these days, he didn't read some of the news sent by Qianmen about the envoys of Yili Jiangli, but he didn't expect that Yili sent thousands of envoys, which is equivalent to the robbery of Hongguoguo.

According to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, all the tribute envoys will be rewarded more than ten times the amount of tribute. This envoy group of thousands of people came over, is this a decision to empty the treasury of the Ming Dynasty?

Jiang Xia was so angry that his teeth began to itch, and he said directly to Han Mufeng: "Prepare the carriage and enter the palace immediately." ”

"Good. Han Mufeng replied and stepped back.

Jiang Xia had just entered the palace in court clothes, and when he was in the left door, he ran into Yang Yiqing and the five of them. Yes, the six ministers met at the left gate.

This time, it was a real one, without any wit, and it was all for the purpose of solving the tributary problem of Yili Li. As soon as Yang Tinghe saw Jiang Xia, he said: "Lord Taifu, you hurry up and think of a way, a thousand envoys, if this is repaid according to the usual practice, the treasury will probably be empty." ”

Yang Yiqing rarely agreed with Yang Tinghe's statement, and opened his mouth and said: "Quick, you kid has the most ghost ideas, tell me what to do now?"

Jiang Xia was dumbfounded for a while, because Li Dongyang, Wang Qiong, and Xia Yuanming also glanced at Yang Yiqing and Yang Tinghe, and they all looked at him. It shows that Jiang Xia's resourceful image has already penetrated into the hearts of the five of them. Of course, it sounds like resourcefulness, but it's okay to say it's tricky.

But at this time, where did Jiang Xia go to find a way.

Although it is stipulated that the number of people should be no more than 10, but now that everyone is coming, you can't say that more than 900 people should return to the same place, right? But now, Daming is at the time when he can't afford to toss the most. Once Yili uses the excuse to go to war, things will only get worse.

Jiang Xia shook his head and said, "I don't have any good way for the time being, let the envoys enter the palace first, and then talk about receiving gifts." ”

"Good. Yang Yiqing and the others nodded.

In the Taihe Palace, Yili brought the selected representatives into the palace. is just a representative, there are more than 100 people in this room, and the formation is not much different from that of the hundred officials.

Jiang Xia and other six ministers, accompanied by several courtiers from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, accompanied Zhu Zaijiang to meet with the envoys of Yili in the Taihe Palace. The tributary ambassador who came turned out to be a captain named Lehok.

At this time, he also tried to understand the purpose of the Taihe Palace, and all the Ming officials in the palace understood it, sent a military general as a tributary ambassador, and broke the rules to bring so many people, which was clearly deliberately to embarrass the Ming Dynasty.

Lehok stood at the front, looking at Zhu Zaijiang with a contemptuous smile on his face, and beside him, an envoy who knew Chinese was holding a long gift slip and reciting it.

The general content is: "Yili put 3,000 horses of the most precious purebred sweat and blood horse, Yili put 10,000 of the most precious dark cloud orbs in China, and Yili put the most precious ......"

Just a gift list, enough to read for more than an hour, and the prefix of each thing is "the most precious in Yili". What the hell is 'Qiqige grass' that others may not know, but Jiang Xia can still not know? That is a kind of forage used to feed horses, this kind of thing is also used as tribute, and it is also written in the gift list, and he also cheekily said that it is "the most precious in Yili".

Jiang Xia had the urge to scold his mother, but he finally resisted it.

When the envoy finished reading the gift list, the eyes of all the Ming officials looked at Jiang Xia in unison, as if they were waiting for his instructions.

Jiang Xia had a kind smile on his face, and he didn't need a translator directly, so he said in Mongolian: "Yili is the most friendly country in the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty welcomes your country to come to pay tribute. You have given us so many gifts, and we have clearly felt the enthusiasm and friendship of your country.

Please stay in Daming for five days, and Rong Daming will prepare rewards for the envoys. We will repay your friendship tenfold......"

Hearing Jiang Xia say that he would repay tenfold, the envoys in Yili laughed one after another, and the contempt on Lehok's face became even stronger.

However, according to the rules, they still bowed to Zhu Zaijiang in unison.

After the meeting, the officials of Honglu Temple were responsible for sending the envoys back to Honglu Temple. As soon as they walked out of the Taihe Palace, Jiang Xia immediately announced: "Order the Jinyi Guard, from now on, send heavy troops to guard the Honglu Temple, and if any envoy of Yili makes trouble in the capital, he will be arrested immediately, without anyone's order." ”

"Huh?" the officials exclaimed.

Even Cui Zhengyi couldn't help but ask, "Master Taifu, is this ...... I'm afraid it's not right, then the envoys in Yili will be angry, right?"

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "It's okay, just catch it and let it go." But if they meet a few martial arts prisoners in the prison and get beaten up, then it's no wonder we're not going to be right?"

The officials immediately understood what Jiang Xia meant, those so-called "prisoners with strong martial arts" may have a nickname called "Jinyiwei", right?

In the next two days, Jiangxia and their six ministers continued to discuss how to repay the affairs of the envoys in Yili, according to their gift list, the Ming needed to give back something worth nearly 800,000 taels of silver.

During the discussion, Jiang Xia rarely put forward any opinions. So, two days were basically wasted.

And nearly a thousand envoys from Yili suddenly poured into the capital, and accidents often occurred in various places. Either the envoys were drunk in the tavern, or they were molesting good women in the streets.

But fortunately, Jiang Xia was prepared, every time they just started to make trouble, Jinyiwei immediately appeared as if falling from the sky, and he didn't care about 3721, and he went back to Zhenfusi Prison after arresting them. After entering, there will be no trial, no fighting, as long as Yili finds the envoy in Honglu Temple and starts to make trouble, Jinyiwei will immediately release him.

Of course, every time the person is released, the body is not lightly injured. When I asked, all of them were beaten by prisoners in the prison. For this reason, Lehok lodged a serious protest, and Jiang Xia would also take out a few prisoners to behead him at the noon gate.

But those prisoners were real death row inmates.

On the fifth day, it was finally time to give back.

On the playground outside the Taihe Palace, almost all the civil and military officials arrived. The big red cloth covered more than 20 carts, and the things on the carts were piled up, as if Jiang Xia had really prepared a lot of things for the envoys in Yili this time.

Jiang Xia stood in front of the civil and military officials and asked loudly, "Have you remembered everything I told you?"

"Go back to your lordship, remember ...... clearly," the officials responded.

Jiang Xia raised his right hand, and the civil and military officials immediately made a distressed appearance, and shouted loudly: "Oh my God, no, Lord Taifu, that is a relic of the former emperor, a national treasure of the Ming Dynasty......"

"Well, that's good. Jiang Xia nodded with satisfaction.

Then Jiang Xia raised his left hand again, and the civil and military officials collectively made a look of surprise, and sighed one after another: "Master Taifu, if you even give this away, you will become a criminal minister of the Ming Dynasty." That's the treasure of Daming Town!"

"Okay, good!" Jiang Xia smiled and nodded.

Among them, Yushi Feng Jingli asked Jiang Xia in a low voice with some embarrassment: "Master Taifu, let's do this, if we are discovered, it will lose the prestige of the Heavenly Kingdom, right?"

Jiang Xia glanced at him angrily and said, "Come on, let's talk about it, do you want prestige, or do you want to be a good man for the next ten years?"

"Ahem, Master Taifu is wise and decisive, and he should use such clever means to treat such a vulgar and scoundrel!" Feng Jingli said with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression.

"It's coming, it's coming......," Wang Zhong, the eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, hurriedly ran over and said to Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia's spirit trembled, and he said loudly: "Get ready to ......" RG
