Chapter 1009: Meeting in the same hall

The Central Bank of Wei stopped working together with the public.

Huitongguan is temporarily placed under the name of the Ministry of War and is the temporary residence of envoys from various countries to the Ming Dynasty.

This institution was actually a continuation of the external approach during the Taizu Taizong period. However, during the reign of Emperor Chunduan of the previous dynasty, on the one hand, it was a concession and on the other hand, for practical reasons, the then crown prince Shaobao, Yu Qian, Secretary of the Ministry of War, handed over the authority of the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of Rites, thus becoming an external institution jointly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War.

Its functions are very complex, from receiving foreign envoys to planning tribute policies, it can be said to be quite cumbersome.

By the time of Emperor Chengzhi, the power of the Huitong Pavilion was reduced because Emperor Chengzhi was not interested in these foreign envoys. It happened that during that time, the Japanese pirates kept pretending that the Japanese envoys came to take the rewards. Emperor Chengzhi was very upset. If it were not for the court officials' dissuasion, he would have almost closed the institution.

Later, after the rise of the Western Army, the old emperor relaxed a little bit of foreign exchanges, and foreign policy has evolved from "being gentle and distant people" to "seeking active contact". At this point, the Huitongguan strengthened another function, which is to exchange technology with foreign countries and strive to catch up with the scientific and technological strength of the Western Frontier.

At the same time, the Huitong Pavilion also entered the Jinyiwei and the two factories to learn about it. On this basis, the old emperor ordered the expansion of the "mutual trade" brought by the Huitong Pavilion, which was originally hosted by the embassy groups of various countries, that is, the trade representatives of foreign embassy groups and Ming merchants recognized by local governing departments and other local government departments in the Huitong Pavilion or places recognized by the Huitong Pavilion.

Among them, there are also the matter of envoys from various countries trading with each other.

Nowadays, Huitong Hall has become a large institution divided into two parts: north and south. The north is the Huitong Hall built by Emperor Taizong when he was King of Yan. The south is located on the west dike of Yuhe, which is Wuman Station.

Weiyang came from Huitongguan, which mainly lived in foreign envoys from the north. However, after the Tatar Ola was destroyed by Weiyang, it gradually became a place where all foreign envoys came to Ming to live, while Wuman Post became a place where mutual transactions were made, and there were many shops run by foreigners all year round.

Two local soldiers at the door saw a group of people coming from afar and were about to scold them. Someone stepped forward and shouted, "General, patrol, go and report to Shangguan to welcome him."

The two of them looked at it as the Qianhu, the deputy deputy of the Jinyiwei, and the famous female devil Nie Ziyi, who was hurriedly coming to pay a visit.

Nie Ziyi smiled and said, "What are you doing when I meet me? Last time I came to the Huitongguan to investigate the imperial prisoner, you almost drove my Jinyiwei out and went, tell your master, keep some delicious food, and the general is coming to bring warmth to the envoys of various countries."

Wei Yang laughed, and Ren Yingying laughed at the side.

In the Huitong Hall, the Huitong Hall ambassador He Fengchun fought two people. The two deputy envoys looked dissatisfied. They were all trembling with the people and other members of the big and small who were not qualified to participate in tonight's banquet in the Da Nei Palace.

They were afraid that the little devil came, but the big devil came again. What's wrong?

Dozens of foreign envoys who were drinking and chatting without giving instructions, put down their chopsticks and helped each other stand up.

However, someone was standing up and fell to the ground with a thump.

Are they afraid?

Too scared!

"There is no ghost in my heart, what are they afraid of?" The factory guards who were secretly surveillance were amused.

At this moment, Wei Yang smiled outside the door and said, "The fragrance must be delicious," and then said loudly, "In Xia Wei Yang, a young general in the Western Army, ask about the sky sword and patrol the world. Envoys from all countries do not need to panic. This is just for the sake of public service, and there is no need to do anything for you."

The more he said this, the more the envoys of various countries became afraid.

The Tatar deputy envoy shrank his arms and sucked his nose, and was trembling with fear to snatch it out. When the deputy envoy of Ola was pulled, he heard He Fengchun's snorting, threw down his sleeves, and rushed out quickly, shouting: "He Fengchun, the ambassador of Xiaguan Huitongguan, will receive the general."

A dozen figures jumped out, including the factory guards' spies.

Everyone went out, and the timid kneeled towards him, and looked at him with courage and lowered their heads. Many of them were happy.

This time, Wei Yang wore a dark purple round collar and a white collar lined with a white collar. He was one inch away from the ground. There was no patch on his chest. There were two cloud dragons on the front and a five-clawed golden dragon in the middle of his chest. This was obviously a gift from the old emperor. The clothes were not called dragon robe. The five-clawed dragon was called python dragon.

The ones paired with this dress are Yishan crowns, white jade leather belts and a pair of white-bottomed long-tube boots.

In the eyes of the factory guards, this is to protect the old emperor's face. Otherwise, who can say what this master is wearing Western Army armor?

However, the Wentian Sword was still in the hands of the Jinyiwei Captain beside him.

Everyone shouted: "We will pay homage to the general."

"Get up, it's the New Year, and there's no New Year's money to kowtow," Wei Yang said curiously, "What are you eating?"

He Fengchun wiped the cold sweat from his head and said, "The Holy Emperor gave him six paths of food, and the Huitong Pavilion brought four paths of his own, so he dared not violate the rules."

Then he let out the door and saw that the envoys from all countries were arranged neatly. He Fengchun was satisfied and said, "The banquet started, and the general asked to go inside to be responsible."

"No resentment," said Wei Yang. "Here we come to see the envoys of various countries. Some of them were enemies of our Ming Dynasty and fought with each other for many years, while others were ulterior motives who were respectful but dissatisfied. However, under my rule, they should be treated with good food and good drinks. The Celestial Kingdom has its own laws and regulations here, so they should not be neglected."

"Yes, I will follow the general's orders." He Fengchun and his group accepted the order in unison.

After entering the yard, Wei Yang looked at the envoys of various countries and smiled and said, "There are still a few old friends here. Are you a Tatar envoy? How about Dayan Khan?"

The deputy envoy of Tatar was an old friend he had met in Beiting City. He knew that this person was not easy to talk to. Seeing this, he bent down and said hurriedly: "God Sweat is good, please ask the general."

"I'm fine," Wei Yang smiled at the deputy envoy of Ola and said, "Are you an envoy of Ola?"

The deputy envoy quickly introduced: "The villain is the deputy envoy of Ola, please ask the general about his good luck."

"It's okay, I eat well and sleep well. I'm thinking about going to Weng Guo Chuhan to discuss the matter of returning to the east during the New Year. However, this kid is not kind," Wei Yang said with confidence. "I hope he will live a hundred years old every day, but he wants to send personnel to Uszang. He is just provoking our Ming Dynasty civil strife. This man is not righteous."

The deputy envoy hesitated for a while, struggled to shed tears, and cried, "How dare Khan disobey the general's good wishes? This matter must be done by others."

Wei Yang laughed and didn't talk to him. Weng Guo Chuhan was a pretty honest man. Unfortunately, there were too many people who were dishonest.

"Go in and speak," Wei Yang ordered, "From now on, the staff from the southwest, you will receive the Ministry of Education from the Huitong Hall, and the specifications are the same as those of the county, prefecture, and the staff of the Huitong Hall, and the water and land transportation personnel under the jurisdiction of the Huitong Hall, and the water and land transportation personnel must be equipped to handle the work with the local transportation personnel developed. You can discuss this with the Five Immortals Sect. This is the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty. Which one is ambiguous and which one is accomplice in the crime, understand?"

He Fengchun was shocked: "This, this is..."

"Yes, the Demon Sect's person, this is still the saint of the Demon Sect," Wei Yang said strangely, "The emperor still invites the Lord of the Demon Sect to visit Danei. Why? The little congratulatory hall still wants to find the emperor to argue with?"

He Fengchun shook his hand in a hurry and said, "You are the one who obeys the order, and you are the one who obeys the order."

"That's it," Wei Yang said, "that's his own family, fighting and killing is still his own family. What's wrong with the Demon Cult? Could it be that they wrote the word Tatar and read the book of Oirat?"

Lan Fenghuang took the opportunity to say, "I'm afraid it will be sowed by outsiders."
