Chapter 571: Challenge (Eighth)
The hall was silent for a moment, but in fact, some people were eager to try it out. However, according to the usual nature of everyone as officials, they were mostly unwilling to be the first to be the first, and would rather wait for someone to speak and report it before giving the class. Therefore, at this time, the hall would be silent for a moment before someone could not stand it.
But at this time, someone said: "I am the deputy envoy of the Japanese Kingdom, I have something to report."
Everyone looked at the source of sound and found that it was indeed a Japanese man kneeling in the hall. When the court discussed, in addition to the fifth-rank or above officials participating, there were also Qingliu officials of lower rank, and some nobles and foreign envoys.
As soon as the Japanese came out, the envoys began to whisper. The envoys from various countries seemed to have different attitudes. Some were joining in the fun, some felt indignant, and some watched coldly.
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, her face pulled down and said seriously: "What's the matter?"
The deputy envoy of the Japanese state said: "The king of our country admires the kindness of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and sent envoys to the court. He originally wanted to submit a letter of nationality, and was willing to submit a letter of nationality as the superior country. He made a hundred years of good fortune. When he entered the court, he wanted to submit a letter of nationality... But he never expected that the king attached great importance to **** and sent his second son Yoshimoto to the court. He could see his thoughts. However, there was an official from the Ming Dynasty who worked in the Hanlin Academy, named Ye Chunqiu, and was beaten for no reason. Now His Highness Ashimoto Yoshimoto was dying and suffered heavy damage. His life was not long ago. However, the murderer who beat the man was still at large. The minister begged the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to make a decision for the Emperor Yoshimoto and severely punish the murderer who caused the accident..."
His words were filled with tears, as if he had suffered a huge grievance.
Zhu Houzhao heard this and snorted slightly: "I have heard of this matter, and I want to ask you, how many of you are there at that time?"
The envoy said: "Eight."
Zhu Houzhao continued, "Ye Aiqing comes out."
Ye Chunqiu left the class and bowed and said, "I am here."
Zhu Hou took a look at him: "I'm here to ask you, how many people were there?"
Ye Chunqiu said: "There is only one minister."
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but smile and comforted the case, "The Deputy Envoy of Japan, you eight of you are present, and there is only one Ye Aiqing, but you said Ye Chunqiu beat the man to death. Do you think I am confused?"
The envoy couldn't help but feel silenced. After a long time of long time, he said in shame and anger: "Water is a country of etiquette, and he has been transformed into a king for a long time..."
Zhu Houzhao shook his head and said, "But I heard that you Japanese have always been very brave and fierce, otherwise where did these Japanese pirates come from?"
This envoy originally thought he was a plan, but on the one hand, he made Ashikaga Yoshimoto pretend to be dying just to gain sympathy. On the other hand, he cried here and told him. He thought that the other party was just a small Hanlin and things would be a result soon. After all, the Ming Dynasty had always been tolerant to the attitude of various vassals. As long as he showed a willing attitude of respect and any request, the court would always satisfy him regardless of gains and losses. However, this envoy never expected that he would encounter a nail today.
Zhu Houzhao's unscrupulous words deeply hurt the self-esteem of the deputy envoy of Japan.
When it comes to Japanese pirates, it means that the Japanese are all thieves. In the beginning, it was said that eight or nine people could not defeat a Hanlin composer, and it was full of ridicule.
This made the face change drastically and I couldn't say it for a moment.
However, Zhu Guofan was originally watching the fun, but now he couldn't help but whisper.
The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty suddenly became harsh with the Japanese envoys, which inevitably reminded people of whether the Ming court had changed the national policy of the vassal state? Even some vassal states who wanted to see the Japanese jokes were worried at this moment that the Ming Dynasty was a country of etiquette. Although the so-called country of etiquette was extremely friendly in normal times, once some national policies were changed, it was difficult to see anything verbally, but some details could be considered.
This time, the Japanese envoy Ashikaga Yoshimoto was beaten badly, not to mention whether it was dead or alive, but many people knew that his eyes were blown up directly. The imperial doctor who went to treat him was also stunned when he saw the tragic situation, but the Emperor Ming Dynasty even spoke sarcastic, this...
This envoy is named Ha Moeqing. As the son of the general of the Conquering the Wild, Yoshimoto Ashikaga was not very clear about the situation of the Ming Dynasty, so when he entered the country, he naturally needed someone who knew the Ming Dynasty as his deputy. In fact, most of the interactions between the Japanese and the Ming Dynasty were responsible for this envoy. As for Yoshimoto Ashikaga, it seemed to be more like a person.
Now that Ashikaga Yoshimoto has been criticized like this, He Maoqing, as his deputy, knew that he could not return to his country to explain. If Ye Chunqiu did not severely punish him, he would not be able to turn the past as the deputy envoy.
However, the Ming Emperor's attitude was completely an attitude of disregarding diplomatic relations with Japan for the sake of Ye Chunqiu.
He Maoqing was furious and felt that he had suffered a huge insult: "Her Ashikaga Yoshiman, the ancestor of the Ashikaga Yoshiman, was once ordered to be the king of Japan by Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty. His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. His identity as the prince of the Ming Dynasty is no different from that of the Ming Dynasty. Now he is beaten and humiliated by a compilation of the Ming Dynasty. The subordinates will definitely go back to report to the king..."
Zhu Houzhao seemed very impatient and said, "Go and report, is there anyone else to report?"
All the officials in the hall thought Zhu Houzhao's words were a bit inappropriate, but they were hard to say anything in front of the vassal envoy.
He Maoqing's face suddenly turned red, and he almost used his last killer move, but he didn't care at all.
The new emperor of the Ming Dynasty was obviously completely different from the Ming Dynasty's late emperor. Although their late emperor was not very intimate about all matters in the vassal states, the treatment he gave was generous.
He Maoqing felt a little panicked. He looked at Ye Chunqiu who was beside him and suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report. If I encounter disputes, warriors often compete with each other. Now the country is humiliated. There is a swordsman in the country. This time, he will follow the Ashikaga Yoshimoto to come to the court. He is the samurai general's family samurai, and is willing to challenge Ye Chunqiu, who caused the accident, and begs His Majesty to fulfill his wishes."
He knew this was not in line with the rules, but it was almost his last resort.
In fact, he knew that the Hanlin was not weak. This time, a little Hanlin actually beat Ashikaga Yoshimoto in front of seven or eight Japanese people, which had already shamed the Japanese. The Japanese have always been brave and fierce. If this matter was passed on to the country, it would be a huge joke.
So he simply gave up. No matter what, since the Ming Dynasty had to protect Ye Chunqiu no matter what, then he simply used this method that was not a solution.
After he proposed the duel, he felt relieved and said, "I heard for a long time that Hanlin Ye Chunqiu is a master of kendo in the upper country, and the samurai Yoshimasato of the lower country. He is also the kendo teacher of the Sword Saint of the lower country. He is also the kendo teacher of the Ashikaga Yoshimoto. This time he also entered the court with the Ashikaga Yoshimoto and was willing to learn the kendo in the upper country."
