Chapter 373: Falling asleep on a stool
The girls of the Teaching Workshop Division have all fallen asleep on the stool, but the emperor is still twisting the wild dance steps excitedly, and the drummer who plays the drum is already about to play into the rhythm of Yangge, but Chang Sanye is tired of it, the emperor doesn't sleep, you Chu Fan dare to sleep? Chu Fan was so sleepy that his eyes were full of gold stars, and he yawned again and again, but he still had to accompany the emperor to continue to hi.
Xu is too high, the emperor who returned to the palace did not show up for a day and a night, and when all the ministers were wondering, only Boss Chu knew why the emperor couldn't get out of bed.
On this day, when Chu Fan was called to the study by Wanli again, Chu Fan was a little flustered, wouldn't the emperor be going out to play again? Not to mention that every time you make less money at a discount, the key is that you can't stay asleep.
The emperor's expression was much more serious: "Chu Fan, you may be in trouble." β
"Huh? What's wrong with me? β
"See, this pile is all suing you." Wanli pointed to the thick stack of music on the table.
"Sue me what? Your Majesty, I really don't have anything else to do. β
"It may be that you offended Zhu Yiling and Ran Xingrang last time, or it may be that you have made meritorious contributions in the war in North Korea or that your wine shop business is too good, in short, the person who came is not good, you are being targeted, and there is such a great energy to mobilize this group of officials to impeach you, it is definitely not an ordinary person, and you may be hacked in all other aspects."
"Who could it be?" Chu Fan muttered to himself.
In fact, Chu Fan understood very well in his heart, the day before yesterday, his father-in-law Zhang Sixiu had asked someone to send him a letter, saying that Chu Fan had beaten Ran Xingrang and Zhu Yiling in the ass, and he couldn't swallow this breath, and was already collecting evidence of his guilt everywhere, and now according to Zhang Sixiu's understanding, the two have joined forces with a number of officials to impeach Chu Fan, on the other hand, it is said that Ran Xing's original cronies in Shanxi have already been active in the Liaodong generation, I am afraid that it will be detrimental to Zhang Yutong's mother and daughter, and persuade Chu Fan to take them back to the capital and protect them.
"Forget it, you just know it, and you don't have to dig too deep, do what you should do, and pay attention to your tongue in the future. I originally planned to arrange for you to go to Cibo to read the edict, but now that you are entangled in lawsuits, the Inspectorate will definitely ask you about a lot of things, so I won't send you there. β
Chu Fanxin said: "Oh, mom, thank you so much Ran Xing let the eighth generation of ancestors, I don't want to go, you are saving me from fire and water." β
"Your Majesty, the country's diplomacy is a big matter, and you must send someone with a very noble status to show your sincerity."
"Who do you think is suitable?"
"Your Majesty, although it is a major national event, the temperament of the Japanese slaves is changeable, and something may happen, and the important ministers of the country must not be sent."
"You just say, who is the right person?"
"Your Majesty, please decide, the major national affairs, the ministers dare not discuss it."
"If you have a noble status, you can't be an important minister?"
"Your Majesty, don't look at me, I really don't have a candidate."
"Hmph, you said to let Zhu Yiling go, just say, what bend do you give me?"
"Emperor Mingjian, I had a misunderstanding with the prince the day before yesterday, if I recommend him, wouldn't it be a personal vendetta to the communiquΓ©?"
"Well, it's really just him." Wanli looked out the window and nodded silently.
Why is he the only one? Because of helplessness, the royal family is really withered now. Emperor Wanli is still young and has no adult heirs, and his father Longqing died early, leaving only three princes, and two died young, leaving only Wanli. If you talk about the previous generation, it is even more unreliable, the emperor will survive with one of his ancestors, this uncle has no descendants, otherwise the emperor's big hat will not be able to buckle Wanli's head, and if it is calculated, only Zhu Yiling's blood is the closest, if Wanli is hung up now, it is very likely that the person who will take over the throne is this fat prince.
"Announcing the emperor's decree, Zhu Yiling Ran Xing let him take the decree."
In the princess's mansion, two men with flowers on their buttocks knelt on the ground and bowed their heads.
"Fengtian carrier, Emperor Zhao said: Order Zhu Yiling as the main envoy and Ran Xingrang as the deputy envoy, and go to the country to announce the emperor's edict, canonize the ministers, and give the seal."
Go to the country of the second wave? As a messenger?
What an infinitely glorious thing, on behalf of the emperor, on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, go to the country of Cibo to canonize the ministers and give them seals.
"The emperor is still gracious, let's make up for it." Zhu Yiling excitedly took Ran Xingrang's hand.
"Well, it can't be any trick played by that kid Chu Fan, right?" Ran Xingrang is obviously at a much higher level of political struggle than Zhu Yiling.
But the emperor's decree has been issued, and it doesn't matter if you want to go or not, a prince and a horse master flew out of the capital with Xiaoxi step by step.
The Ming Dynasty sent a prince and a horse to personally present the credentials, which must have been a major diplomatic achievement. The Toyotomi Hideyoshi was waiting anxiously, but Konishi Fei kept grinding and didn't want to leave. If nothing else, the key is how to deal with it when you go back? If you tell the truth, there is a high probability that your head may also move, but continue to flicker, how to fake this official document approved by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?
All the way to the north, on this day, Xiao Xifei, Zhu Yiling, and Ran Xingrang came to Busan, North Korea, and as soon as they settled down, Xiao Xifei disappeared.
Ran Xing's mind is much more mature than Zhu Yiling, he knows that the emperor is not very kind to him, and this kind of good thing that shines on the lintel can't be counted on his head, so he paid great attention to Xiao Xifei's movements along the way.
Seeing that Xiao Xifei was gone, Ran Xingrang quietly came out to look for it, but saw Xiao Xifei come to a farmhouse located in the suburbs, but did not enter the house, and quietly put an envelope into the wooden barrel at a dry well outside the door, and then sank the wooden barrel into the dry well.
Ran Xingrang, who was quietly observing not far away, knew that there was an inside story, and hid in the grass motionless until Xiaoxi flew away.
Ran Xingrang, who got the letter, went to the bookstore in Busan and found someone to translate the letter.
The letter was written by Konishi Fei to Konishi Xingchang, to the effect that when I came to the Ming Dynasty, I saw the emperor and knew that Shen Weijing and Liu Dali were liars, and promised us eight promises The Ming Dynasty emperor didn't know at all, the land was not ceded, the princess was not married, trade was not allowed, and I would talk about it after paying tribute, and now the Ming Dynasty emperor asked me to bring two messengers to read the edict, the content of the edict is very simple, that is, let us withdraw the army, you had better prepare in advance, how to deal with Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
Ran Xing, who saw the letter, suddenly realized, it turned out that Chu Fan had given me such a big set, if I went, Toyotomi Hideyoshi would be angry, and I wouldn't have to kick my head as a ball? Not to mention that there are no eternal friends in the bad world, only eternal interests, sure enough, Ran Xingrang immediately revealed his true colors as a bad guy at a critical moment.
He thinks so, the emperor has already arranged to go to Cibo to deliver the decree, and it is definitely not possible to go to this task, but it is very risky to go. If Wanli's edict is given directly to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, it will definitely provoke the other party, and there is no need to think about the reward, whether the small life can be kept or not, it is two words. What's more, even if the people of Cibo talk about the rules and do not kill the envoys, but the matter is not settled, and they come back to fight again, whose account is this? Isn't it me yet? When the time comes, Wanli will have to take me under the knife. No, I can't go to this thing, but it's not okay if I don't do it, there is only one way, let Zhu Yiling go, kill his head, take responsibility, let him bear it.
Back at the post house, Ran Xingrang fell ill, as for what illness? Six waves of doctors came, but they couldn't see the problem, and Zhu Yiling, who was anxious, turned around.
Why did Ran Xing let Zhu Yiling, who was sick, turn around? Although Zhu Wangye is the main envoy and Ran Xingrang is the deputy envoy, in fact, he Zhu Yiling doesn't understand anything, and he doesn't know what to say or do. Don't look at him all day long, the whole Beijing is hanging around, talking about it at the banquet, and the head of the fireworks in Willow Lane is the Tao. really let him do the right thing, he can't hold half of his fart.
This horse master has been an official in the local area, and now he is the imperial history of the third grade, and the things on the table are much stronger than him. So if this deputy envoy is not there, he has no bottom in his heart.
But with the intention of not going, Ran Xingrang's illness will definitely not get better, and after half a month, he still can't get out of bed.
To say that Ran Xingrang is really a ruthless character, pretending to be sick and not getting out of bed for half a month, ordinary people really don't have this determination.
In desperation, Zhu Yiling had no choice but to step on the ferry to Cibo alone, and before leaving, he specially instructed his brother-in-law to take care of himself, and received a reward, and he must share half of you.
After all, in Toyotomi Hideyoshi's view, this time is the final result of the entire negotiation, and the second wave country has achieved a major victory, the Ming Dynasty came to the orthodox prince surnamed Zhu, so the whole street is full of lights, all kinds of floats, dances, ceremonial flowers, just like Toyotomi Hideyoshi is going to get married for the second time, Zhu Yiling came after the greeting of good wine and good food, and chose a good day and auspicious day, ready to receive the documents and seals of the Ming Dynasty.
Ran Xingrang was quite kind, after reading the letter that day, he put it back in the dry well as it was, because President Konishi had already known the inside story in advance.
Governor Konishi knew very well that the reason why Toyotomi Hideyoshi dared to make these unreasonable demands to the Ming Dynasty was because of himself. Because Governor Konishi was unwilling to admit how badly he was beaten by Chu Fan on the Korean battlefield, every time he reported the situation to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, it was through negotiation that an agreement was reached with the Ming army, and I, Governor Konishi, withdrew from the army. Therefore, Toyotomi Hideyoshi always thought that the Ming army was a weak remnant, and the Ming Dynasty was a weak and incompetent court, so he dared to open his mouth like this.
Now that the envoy of the Ming Dynasty has come with official documents, it is obvious that he can't go on, and his head is difficult to protect unless there is a miracle.
And a miracle really happened.
At the suggestion of a staff member, Konishi came up with a solution.
Due to the low cultural penetration rate of the second wave country, and after the introduction of Chinese into the second wave country, they have done a lot of transformation themselves, so if you want to understand a Chinese edict, it is really not something that ordinary people can do, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi has a habit, but all important activities must be read by monks, one is that the status of monks is high, and the other is that monks generally have culture and are not easy to pronounce typos.
As a result, President Konishi coerced and enticed the monks who arranged to read the documents, and did not listen to me in the future, and how your family was. In the face of threats and interests, the monk compromised.
In addition to all the descendants of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, even Tokugawa Ieyasu also came, as Toyotomi Hideyoshi's biggest political enemy, he actually attended the meeting, which fully proved the attention of the various factions in the country to this matter.
The fat prince of the Ming Dynasty, with a big belly, sat side by side with Toyotomi Hideyoshi, waiting for the monk to read the documents.
The monk cleverly changed the three requirements in the document into three replies.
First: Agree to the eight requests made by Toyotomi Hideyoshi Daimyo of the Second Wave Kingdom.
Second: Agree that the Ming Dynasty and the Cibo Kingdom will have eternal friendship and non-aggression against each other.
Third: Agree to reward the next Polish general.
Yukinaga Konishi, Fei Konishi, Kiyomasa Katoγγγγγγγ
There is no one alone, Kuroda Nagamasa.
Here's the thing, before Konishi flew to China, Toyotomi Hideyoshi made a list for him, all of which were generals of the Cibo Kingdom who fought in Korea, and let Konishi fly to China and hand it over at the right time as the basis for the Ming Dynasty's reward.
But when Xiaoxi flew to the Ming Dynasty, he found out that something was wrong, but Xiaoxifei was still very persistent, knowing that the reward was pure nonsense, but he still handed over the list to the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, of course, the reason was also very simple, and his Xiaoxifei's name was also impressively listed.
The Ming Dynasty was not bad here, in addition to giving Xiaoxi Fei two golden horses, the people on the list also gave a little reward to each person, which is meaningful.
But the most interesting thing is that before Konishi Fei handed it over to the Ming Dynasty, one name was erased, Kuroda Nagamasa.
The reason why Kuroda Nagamasa was erased was because although they were both Toyotomi Hideyoshi's people, the relationship between Konishi Yukicho and Kuroda Nagamasa was very bad, and they usually tore each other and bit each other under Toyotomi Hideyoshi, so Konishi Fei deliberately erased Kuroda Nagamasa's name in order to vent his master's anger.
Governor Konishi is really a living treasure, obviously it is just a symbolic little reward, and he actually has to cross out the names of political opponents, which can be said to spare no effort for the political struggle.
After the monk read out the list of rewards, the ceremony ended successfully, Xiao Xifei deliberately put the document back into the brocade and sealed it, and handed it to the palace people with both hands.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi was elated and arranged for an official prostitute to accompany Zhu Yiling to drink all day, and the two sides had some exchanges warmly. It wasn't until Zhu Wangye was carried back that everyone left, but one person didn't drink a sip of wine, and kept watching all this silently in the corner.
After the work of the proclamation was completed, Zhu Yiling, who received a glass lamp from Toyotomi Hideyoshi, was packing her bags and preparing to return home after visiting various scenic spots in Jiba Province.
But suddenly a group of heavily armed soldiers rushed in and arrested him and put him in prison.
Originally, Governor Konishi did this unknowingly, the Ming Dynasty documents were put into the brocade belt, basically not easy to open, now the Ming army has withdrawn from North Korea, Toyotomi Hideyoshi is interested, and then go to occupy it, if the Ming army sends troops to block, Konishi Yukichang will explain that the DPRK is cheating, tearing up the agreement, everything will start again, the war should be fought, the peace talks should be renegotiated, it will not affect at all.
But the matter is Kuroda Nagamasa, it is said that on the Korean battlefield, he participated in the battle, even if Konishi Yukicho does not report his name, Li Rusong and Chu Fan also know him, when he beat Konishi Yuki, he beat me with me, why did he forget me Kuroda Nagamasa when he was rewarded? This is so suspicious.
So he secretly sent someone to arrest the monk who read the document, and under severe torture, the monk confessed the inside story, and Kuroda Nagamasa now grasped the clues of Konishi Yuki's major problems, and immediately informed Toyotomi Hideyoshi of the matter, and took out the Ming Dynasty document to see.
Sure enough, there were three sentences written:
One is to get out of North Korea quickly.
The second is to talk about the matter of tribute later.
The third is that the Ming Dynasty wanted to give Toyotomi Hideyoshi the crown.
Finally, there is an attachment, which is the bounty list.
This is simply two different things from the documents read at the conference, who dares to bully the king? Losing the face of the country, and even more losing the face of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, all the elites of the second wave country participated in the congress a few days ago, and the political enemy Tokugawa Ieyasu was also there.
The most infuriating thing is the third one, and you want to give me Toyotomi Hideyoshi the king? I want the king to be the king, do I still need you to seal it?
Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who felt that he had been tricked, was furious and ordered Zhu Yiling to be arrested and tortured, and he must let out this evil breath.
Poor Zhu Yiling didn't know anything, only that he sent a document, drank a lot of wine, and held hands with a few girls, and then he was arrested and beaten fatly, with all kinds of whips, nails, and screaming in the cell.
Is it so dangerous to drink flower wine in the second wave country?
Zhu Wangye, who didn't know anything about the whole thing, couldn't figure out the reason why he was beaten, and wanted to ask Xiao Xifei, but the place where Xiao Xifei was locked up was a little far away from him.
Mr. Konishi Fei, a famous fool, was not spared this time, although the fight was not light, but he was very persistent, and did not betray his leader Konishi Yuki, but put all the responsibility on Zhu Yiling, because he knew that only Konishi Yuki, who could save him now, betrayed the leader, he would die, carry it himself, and there was still hope of living.
Konishi Fei's idea is right, in order to keep Konishi Fei, of course, but also to protect himself, he used his three-inch tongue to believe Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
In the end, Toyotomi Hideyoshi got the conclusion that Zhu Yiling bewitched the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and then bribed the monks who announced the decree and falsely passed on the holy decree, which had nothing to do with Konishi Fei and Konishi Xingchang, all of which were bad things done by the prince of the Ming Dynasty and hindered the peace talks.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi was angry, and the consequences were serious.
The Ming Dynasty not only did not accept its own terms for peace talks, but also sent such a bad envoy, and it must be cleaned up.
ordered Zhu Yiling to be driven back to North Korea and left to fend for himself. Anyway, my Da Cibo Empire didn't kill your Ming Dynasty envoy, but just drove out of Cibo Country, as for whether he can go back or not, it depends on his own creation, and it has nothing to do with my Cibo country.
Do you think you can go back? Zhu Yiling, penniless and bruised, was thrown by you on the ferry in North Korea, more than 100 miles away from the nearest city.
