"Hahaha, the unicorn, which became extinct after the Spring and Autumn Period, actually reappeared in my Ming Dynasty, it seems that our dynasty will surpass the Han and Tang Dynasties."

"Long live my emperor, long live the Ming Dynasty."

After the first exclamation, the onlookers couldn't help but let out a roar of excitement.

After all.

Legend has it that the unicorn came into the world and allowed the world to live and work in peace and contentment.

Moreover, those who can witness the Rui Beast can also be contaminated with the blessings it brings, and they will never be affected by any disease.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to the cheers of the people, and his eyes showed a look of correction.

But after he glanced at the portrait of the giraffe drawn by Lin Che, there was only a determined determination in his eyes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, come with us to greet my great hero of the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang threw the portrait to the eunuch who was waiting beside him, and then took the lead to walk to the temporary greeting platform on the dock.

At this time, the first treasure ship also happened to be moored on the trestle.

It seems to have been rehearsed in advance, less than a quarter of an hour.

The unicorn in the eyes of everyone was easily transported to the dock by the crew, which caused a burst of cheers from the courtiers and the people.

Along with it, there was a large heavy box.

The leader of Xinguo Gong Tang He, with the crew who came down from the ship, came to the welcome platform and knelt down in front of Zhu Yuanzhang: "Chen Tang He, fortunately, I am not dishonored, this time I was ordered to go to Nanyang and establish diplomatic relations with the seventeen countries. ”

"Eleven of them promised that after the ministers returned to the court, they would come together to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty."

As soon as these words came out, the original attention was still on the 'Qilin', and the ministers on the big boxes, couldn't help but pay attention to the body of Xinguo Gong Tang He.

You must know that it has never been easy to establish diplomatic relations with the countries of the South Seas.

Because of the common disease of barbarians who are afraid of power and do not have virtue.

Unless someone knocks on the door, it is more difficult to let them recognize Daming as a father than to ascend to the sky.

The Japanese slaves are a good example.

However, Tang He, the prince of Xinguo, who was kneeling in front of Zhu Yuanzhang at this time, went to Nanyang and actually got back several national letters.

After being inspected by Honglu Temple, it is all true, and there is no hint of fraud in it.

And later, there are also envoys from some countries who come to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

This made the ministers extremely puzzled, and they never understood how the Duke of Xin Guo did it.

However, there are also a small number of ministers who realize that this person is only a prince of a vassal state.

But he didn't say anything about the 'unicorn'.

This made them wonder in their hearts, because the greeting ceremony had not yet been completed, so they did not dare to ask casually.

"Dingchen, get up and speak."

Zhu Yuanzhang personally picked up Xinguo Gong Tanghe, whose cheeks had become dark and thin.

Looking at the armor on his body, which was a little faded, he suddenly sighed: "Dingchen, you have worked hard in Nanyang these days. ”

In the face of Zhu Yuanzhang's words of concern, Tang He said with shame: "Your Majesty, the minister is not bitter, the minister feels ashamed..."

"This matter has nothing to do with you, you are knowledgeable and deceived by others."

Zhu Yuanzhang knew what Tang He wanted to say, so he directly interrupted him.

After learning the truth about the Qilin from Lin Che's mouth.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally can't blame it, and he is a small person who works intimately for himself, and believes in Guogong Tanghe.

He took Tang He's hand, turned around and announced to the ministers: "Duke Xinguo has made meritorious contributions to my Ming Dynasty's subjugation of the vassal state, and today he was promoted to Zuozhu State, the prince and the prince." ”

Regarding the canonization of Tang He, Zuo Zhuguo, and the crown prince and prince, all the ministers did not have any objection.

First, he is popular, and he is the founding minister, the emperor's hair is small, and Zhu Yuanzhang's most trusted minister.

The second is that the credit he has made is real.

Zhu Yuanzhang gave Tang He's share that he was already ranked as the third duke, the highest lord in the Ming Dynasty.

And Tang He is facing shame.

Yesterday, I received a message from the captain of the Governor's Mansion sent by Zhu Yuanzhang, who already knew that the unicorn he brought back was actually a common giraffe overseas.

Tang He's heart was already full of guilt, and when he heard that Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but ask about the crime, he gave him the title of crown prince and prince, Zuo Zhuguo, and ranked as the third duke.

He was very moved for a while, and wanted to kneel down to thank him, but he was pulled by Zhu Yuanzhang and couldn't kneel.

"Let's say it, this matter is not your fault, the matter of the unicorn, we only have to care, you don't need to say much today."

Zhu Yuanzhang whispered a sentence to Tang He in an unquestionable tone.

The emperor was under the crowd, and such care made Tang He very moved.

And at this time, a fan with slightly dark skin and curly hair.

It seemed that he was a little impatient on his knees, and he actually stood up from the crew, using Chinese with a thick Fanbang accent.

He shouted at Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty the Great Ming Emperor, I have brought you a unicorn that represents prosperity and peace. ”

"But you actually neglect me so much, is this the hospitality of the Heavenly Empire?"

This person's voice was very loud, and these words came directly into the ears of many ministers in Taiwan.

Even if his Chinese language is not standard, everyone can guess what this person means from his rude behavior.

Such an arrogant envoy of Fanbang, it is the first time that the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty have seen it.

Immediately, someone pointed at his nose and scolded: "Okay, you barbarian, you dare to question Your Majesty, and you don't kneel down to apologize." ”

"What about the Book of Rites? You send people to educate the barbarian etiquette officials on how to do things. ”

"Captain of the Governor's Mansion, quickly take down this arrogant man."

Nowadays, most of the ministers of the Ming Dynasty are following Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world, and their temper is also very explosive.

Although Wenchen did not have the ability to pick up a knife and cut people.

But there is still a remnant of some martial arts.

Under the traditional education of "the king humiliates the minister and dies" since he was a child.

They didn't just scold at this rude envoy of Fanbang.

And he also rushed at this person while scolding, planning to use his fists to teach this barbarian, what is called obeying the king.

It's just that the officials who were on board the ship kneeling next to the envoy of Fanbang, as well as the sailors on the treasure ship.

Faster than them, he pushed the guy to the ground, raised his fist and beat him violently.

"Well, what a fight."

"The man who was beaten seems to be a brute."

"My Da Ming is a state of etiquette, how can I beat the envoys of Fanbang, and they also sent us a unicorn!"

The people on the pier couldn't help but be in an uproar when they saw the sudden accident near the trestle.

They were so far away that they didn't hear what the envoy said.

So most of them were surprised, why did those high-ranking adults add fists and kicks to the envoys of Fanbang.

Only an old Xiucai with a gray beard, without knowing what was going on.

I even began to count my own people in a heartbreak.

Suddenly, there was a young man who couldn't get used to it, and pushed Lao Xiucai and scolded: "You old thing, I don't know why that barbarian was beaten, so he counted down our own people, and it was really a book to read into the stomach of a dog." ”
