Chapter 429: Tribute

readx;

An Renhai's incident sounded the alarm for Jiang Xia, Zhu Zaijiang is now in the time when the consciousness of right and wrong is gradually forming, and he should find more time to educate him, so that he will not go astray, and he will become a violent and faint monarch one day. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although Daming's country is now taking care of him by himself, it will be handed over to him sooner or later in the future, and what kind of character he is at that time will directly affect what Daming will look like.

If he really becomes a faint king, Jiang Xia really doesn't know what face he will face Zhu Houzhao after his death.

With a sigh, Jiang Xia went to Dongnuan Pavilion to pick up Zhu Zaijiang.

Zhu Zaijiang, who had changed into a dragon robe, saw Jiang Xia and immediately ran over excitedly to hold his hand, with a great sense of flattery.

Jiang Xia shook his head with a smile, pinched Zhu Zaijiang's little nose for a moment, then picked him up and whispered to him: "When you arrive at the Enrong banquet in a while, remember to pay attention to the emperor's majesty, don't be naughty......, you know?"

Talking all the way, Zhu Zaijiang finally covered his ears, rolled his eyes mischievously and said, "Taifu, you are so annoying...... Like the Tang monk in "Journey to the West" you told me. ”

"Yo stinky boy, you dare to annoy Taifu, see how Taifu punishes you. As he spoke, he kept scratching Zhu Zaijiang's itch, making Zhu Zaijiang laugh.

The one big and the one who laughed happily really looked like two fathers and sons.

The matter of Dongting Yulin seemed to have disappeared at this moment.

When he arrived at the entrance of Yulin Garden, Jiang Xia handed Zhu Zaijiang to the palace maid to lead, and he walked into Yulin Garden from another entrance. After all, he is a courtier, and he can't go the same way as the emperor.

Jiang Xia walked into Yulin Garden one step ahead of Zhu Zaijiang, and when the students saw Jiang Xia, they all got up and saluted Jiang Xia. Jiang Xia nodded, then walked to his place and sat down.

He first saluted Li Dongyang, who was in the upper left hand position, and shouted, "Master." ”

Li Dongyang nodded.

Then he saluted Yang Yiqing, who was in his right hand, and called out in a suppressed voice: "Father-in-law." ”

Yang Yiqing stroked his beard gently, obviously more useful to this "father-in-law", he whispered to Jiang Xia: "Have you seen Qiu Wenshi?"

"Hmm. Jiang Xia nodded, "You already know about this person?"

"This is a talent that deserves to be cultivated by good students. Yang Yiqing did not answer positively. However, since he said that he was a talent, Jiang Xia was interested in Qiu Wenshi in his heart, and decided to observe what kind of talent this was.

Suddenly, a sharp long shout: "The emperor has arrived in ......"

Everyone immediately got up, and as soon as Zhu Zaijiang stepped into Yulin Garden, they knelt on the ground and saluted him, shouting long live.

Then Zhu Zaijiang walked into Yulin Garden and said to everyone, "No courtesy, flat body", and then everyone thanked Zhu Zaijiang and stood up one after another.

Because Qiu Wenshi did not participate in the Enrong banquet that night, the positions of champion, list, and tanhua were basically announced according to the candidates who had already been decided.

The whole procedure was done in accordance with the established rules, and the boredom almost didn't make Jiang Xia fall asleep.

But at the end, Yang Tinghe actually took the initiative to ask Jiang Xia to appoint the champion, the list eye, and the flower, which Jiang Xia did not expect.

Because if it is appointed by Jiangxia Daisheng, then Zhuangyuan, Bangyan, and Tanhua have a teacher-student relationship with him, then these three people can be regarded as people from Jiangxia's family, which is obviously cheapening him.

Jiang Xia couldn't figure out what Yang Tinghe thought, but Li Dongyang and Yang Yiqing also supported him to be appointed on behalf of the saint, so Jiang Xia finally wrote the names of Champion, Bangyan, and Tanhua on the holy decree.

When the Enrong banquet dispersed, and when Jiang Xia left the palace in a carriage, he was still thinking about why Yang Tinghe was so abnormal, when he appointed the top three Jinke on behalf of the saint?

Yang Tinghe is also asking the same question.

After leaving the palace, he got into his carriage, and as soon as the carriage left the imperial city, he saw another carriage. Yang Tinghe immediately got out of the carriage and got into the carriage parked on the road.

As soon as he went up, the door of the carriage was closed, and the inside of the carriage was pitch black, but as soon as Yang Tinghe sat down, he asked: "Recently, Jiangxia has been in the limelight, and more and more people in the Manchu Dynasty have thrown their hands on his Jiang system, and the scholars of the world also respect him.

If it is really as he said, the students of the martial arts hall will eventually enter the army as generals, then the future military power of the Ming Dynasty will all fall into the hands of Jiang Xia, not only will we not stop him, but also let him be appointed as the top three on behalf of the saint, what does this mean?"

"Jiang Xia is a person with both ability and intelligence, and he is indeed a talent. But he was still a little too young to understand the most obvious truth. ”

"What's the truth?" Yang Tinghe asked.

In the carriage, a slightly old voice slowly recited: "If you can't do it, if you do it, disaster will come; if you can't suffer it, if you can't suffer it, you will be lonely; if you can't say all the words, if you say it all, people will be easy; if you can't do it, if you can't do it, if you do it, everything will be complicated." ”

"The Four Precepts of Law Performance?" Yang Tinghe asked.

Suddenly, the voice said, "Stop, you go down." ”

"Yes. Yang Tinghe got out of the carriage and stood alone on the street, reciting the "Four Precepts of Law Performance". When he recited for the fifth time, "It is impossible to exhaust, and if it is exhausted, disaster will come", Yang Tinghe's eyes suddenly lit up, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly and said to himself: "I understand." ”

Two days later, the Kyoshi shook again. Because...... Mrs. Jiang took a concubine again. and also accepted four concubines at one time.

Although three wives and four concubines are common in Daming, the frequency of Jiangxia is too fast, so it is still criticized by many people.

However, the most controversial of them is Yang Yiqing's daughter Yang Jingjing.

After all, she was a minister who once cared for her life, a figure at the pinnacle of power, and her only daughter was also a beautiful girl, so she went to be a concubine for others. This inevitably makes people poke Yang Yiqing's backbone in the back.

Fortunately, Yang Yiqing is also an open-minded person, and he turned a deaf ear to all those criticisms, and just told Jiang Xia to treat his daughter well.

That night, Xiaoyao Villa set up another banquet, and Jiang Xia's best friends came to celebrate together, but the movement was very small and very low-key.

After finally dealing with a group of bad friends, Jiang Xia entered his new house.

In the room, the four wives sat next to each other, wearing phoenix crowns and red hijabs.

Originally, there should be a new room for each of the four concubines. But Jiang Xia didn't follow such a courtesy, and arranged the four of them into a room.

Holding the scale pole and picking up the red hijab of the four girls one by one, looking at the shy and beautiful four people, Jiang Xia had a feeling as if he was living in a dream.

Even he himself sighed: "How can I, Jiangxia, get such a blessing." ”

His eyes swept over Yin Shiqin, Yin Jiaojiao, Xue Ruqin, and Yang Jingjing one by one, which of the four is not a natural beauty, and it is enough to have a life.

But Jiang Xia now has four at once, and there are six other wives in the family.

What is perfect, I am afraid this is the legendary perfection.

Jiang Xia sat in the middle, with Yin Shiqin on the left and Xue Ruqin on the right. He stretched out his hand from behind the two of them and took Yin Jiaojiao and Yang Jingjing's hands. sighed: "With you with me, even if there is nothing, what if there is nothing? I really hope that Zaijiang will grow up quickly, I will let go of it and take you to travel the world ......"

After speaking, Jiang Xia himself said a little embarrassedly: "Ladies, the princess can turn off the lights." ”

The beauty of the night will not be expressed here.

Seven days later, the lecture hall officially opened.

The most sacrificial wine, Jiang Xia said an impassioned word at the opening ceremony, which made the students excited, and they felt that they had a bright future and came to the right place.

But how did they know that hell would be unfolded before them in its entirety after this ceremony.

Leaving from the lecture hall, Jiang Xia received two letters from the officials of Honglu Temple before he could get into the carriage. One was sent from the Tatars, and it was written by Arsu himself. The content is to tell Jiang Xia that he has sent Dai Sen Dari to garrison Daning, and is fully responsible for cooperating with Jiang Xia to establish the Daning commodity trading market, hoping that Jiang Xia can implement this matter as soon as possible.

The other letter was sent by Yili Nari, a letter informing Yili that he was about to send tribute.

Seeing this letter, Jiang Xia's brows immediately tightened, and he turned his head and asked the official of Honglu Temple who sent the letter: "When was the last time Yili paid tribute?"

"A year ago. The official of Nahonglu Temple replied.

Jiang Xia nodded after hearing this, which was not far from what he remembered.

This tribute is not a good thing for the Ming Dynasty, on the contrary, it is actually quite a disturbing thing.

Because from the beginning of the Yongle period, the practice of the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute to the envoys was to confer official positions and give rich rewards, in order to show the majesty and generosity of the Heavenly Empire, to express goodwill to friendly countries, and to show national strength.

This kind of thing seems to Jiang Xia to be very two, but Da Ming has always continued such a practice, and then it almost became a rule.

The envoys of those neighboring countries saw that there was such a big advantage to take advantage of this tribute, so they often sent tribute, and because the Ming Dynasty gave back the gift according to the head, the number of envoys from those neighboring countries also increased.

Later, the Ming Dynasty was tired of coping, so it was stipulated that the tributary could only be sent once in three or five years, and no more than ten people could be sent each time. In this way, the tribute is much less.

This is also a force to send tribute a year ago, and this year it is obviously not in accordance with the rules.

However, the letter said that they were to celebrate the accession of the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so they sent envoys here. This reason seems reasonable, but it is actually bullshit.

My father is dead, and I haven't passed the three-year filial piety period, and I haven't notified you to celebrate, why are you cheeky to do it?

However, Jiang Xia thought about it, and handed back the letter from Yili to the official of Honglu Temple and said, "Let Siqing prepare, anyway, there are only ten people, and it won't be in the way for them to take advantage of it." ”

"Yes. After the official of Honglu Temple answered, he immediately took the letter and left.

Jiang Xia got into the carriage and drove home. rg
