Chapter five hundred and seventy-two: broken jars (ninth more)
He Maoqing also heard about Ye Chunqiu competing with others for swords. At present, the Ming Dynasty court refused to punish the perpetrator, so he wanted to kill Ye Chunqiu in this way.
Zhu Houzhao became interested in this. He squinted his eyes, but looked at Ye Chunqiu and said, "What do Ye Aiqing think?"
Ye Chunqiu had already known the methods of these Japanese envoys, but Zhu Houzhao protected him, and they could not do anything to him. He even regretted that Ashikaga Yoshimoto had lightened his efforts. Now that he heard that the Japanese were going to fight for martial arts, Ye Chunqiu smiled and said, "I am a Hanlin. I did have a duel with others before. However, at that time, I was young and energetic, and now I am a court official. How dare I fight with others? Such duels are inferior. I am a country of rituals in the Ming Dynasty, and I am even more noble in Hanlin. How can I duel with Japanese warriors?"
Although he said a lot and was circling around, He Maoqing understood it. After all, it was actually just one sentence: You are not worthy.
He Maoqing almost vomited blood when he was so angry that he was so angry that he vomited blood.
Zhu Houzhao showed a look of regret.
On the contrary, it was Liu Jian and Xie Qian and the other two who were complimentary.
Liu Jian had already roughly known about the incident that night, and naturally knew that it was not Ye Chunqiu who was wrong. Because of this, Ashikaga Yoshimoto was beaten half to death. He was still cold. His Majesty spoke with a thorny voice today, and he did not make any mistakes. He thought that Ye Chunqiu was young and energetic, and he fought with others like he had not appointed an official position. He couldn't help but worry, thinking that such a fuss would cause some joke, but Ye Chunqiu refused. Liu Jian couldn't help but smile. Ye Chunqiu was indeed much more stable than before.
He Maoqing's face was extremely difficult to see, so he had to grit his teeth and said, "Okay, very good, Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, my ministers are in poor health. Can I surrender? After a few days, my ministers will lead a delegation back to the country, and my ministers... will surrender."
After he said that, he was very rude. In fact, to some extent, to this point, the only thing he could do was to show such toughness. Japan was an overseas country and was not worried about the Ming Dynasty's war. The Ming Dynasty claimed to be a country of etiquette. Even if the two armies fought, it would not kill the envoys. The Japanese paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty, but in order to receive rewards, the Ming Dynasty was rich all over the world, but now it seems that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not take them seriously, and even humiliated them in public, so naturally he broke up. And you can't kill the envoys, and you are afraid that you will not succeed?
He smiled coldly and was so arrogant that he even glared at Ye Chunqiu before leaving, and without waiting for Zhu Houzhao to allow him to leave.
Zhu Houzhao's face changed. He was the best person to be respectful. No one dared to treat him like this. He couldn't help but show anger, but at this time, he was unable to get angry again.
Seeing this, the officials often felt that the Japanese envoys were rude.
However, those vassal envoys had their own plans, and seemed to think that the Japanese were too much, but the Ming Dynasty did not seem to have any countermeasures. This **** country...
Zhu Houzhao stood up at this time, laughed and said, "I am tired." With just one sentence, I was tired, and then he threw away his sleeves and threw all the civil and military officials of the court and the envoys of the vassal state aside.
The Chongwen Hall suddenly became quiet, and the needles could be heard.
The rude Japanese envoys obviously provoked the majesty of the court, but the other party was like this. Before he had handed over the letter of the country, he threatened to return to China, which was obviously a broken can.
Although the emperor left, the court discussion continued. Liu Jian was steady, and his face was not as happy or angry as he was about to leave the shift to ask who would report, but a eunuch trotted after Zhu Houzhao left: "Your Majesty's order, please ask Ye Chunqiu to go to the warm pavilion."
“…”
Ye Chunqiu actually didn't care about the affairs of the Japanese envoy. In his heart, it was okay if he didn't want it. The Japanese people only wanted profits. The court's value of profits and earned the reputation of the so-called nations coming to the court was obviously not worthy in Ye Chunqiu's opinion. Now that His Majesty has invited him, Ye Chunqiu bowed to Liu Jian. Liu Jian nodded to him. Ye Chunqiu had just left to follow the eunuch to the Warm Pavilion.
I thought that at this moment, Zhu Houzhao would be furious. Who knew that Zhu Houzhao in the warm pavilion was staring at a map. Ye Chunqiu approached it, but he had a map of the southeastern coast and Japan. Zhu Houzhao looked at the map coldly and said, "Ye Aiqing, the southern Japanese and northern Japanese are captured. I have to deal with them. This Japanese are really hateful, haha... Thanks to Emperor Taizu of Hongwu, the king of Ashikaga, who would have called the King of Ashikaga. Unexpectedly... They were illegal in the capital and dared to show my face."
He raised his eyes and looked at Ye Chunqiu seriously and said, "You should have made their appointment and give me a good breath."
Although Ye Chunqiu was younger than Zhu Houzhao, he seemed calmer than Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, I am a Hanlin in the upper country. The one who made a fight was just a warrior from the lower country. Even if I win, I will win without any meaning."
Zhu Houzhao said, "I know, I'm just so angry, haha... I'm so anxious. Otherwise, I'll kill all these envoys."
Ye Chunqiu just shook his head and pursed his lips and said nothing.
He knew that Zhu Houzhao was just talking angry words and did not kill the envoys. This was the rule that the ancestors had agreed upon. On the surface, they seemed generous and kind, but in fact, killing those people would cause more trouble in addition to venting anger. In this era, the most important thing is morality. If these Japanese envoys are killed, not to mention the evil between the two countries, the most important thing is that from now on, who will still believe in your integrity, and who will dare to send envoys to come in the future?
This kind of convention becomes a custom and pervasive rule throughout the past and present, and even in later generations, remains the same.
Zhu Houzhao seemed to feel that his words had passed, but he was still angry: "Didn't you see the Japanese deputy envoy before leaving? He... He is so bold. Without my permission, did he regard the Chongwen Palace as a brothel restaurant? He even glared at me, ha..." He punched the map with a fierce punch: "I understand. If these envoys are sincerely surrendered, they may not be necessary. They are just thinking about getting benefits from me."
Seeing Ye Chunqiu silent, Zhu Houzhao looked at Ye Chunqiu strangely and said, "Isn't Ye Aiqing angry?"
"Your Majesty, aren't these things just right? Why are you angry?"
Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment and said, "What did you say?"
Ye Chunqiu said calmly: "Your Majesty, can our Ming Dynasty affect the political affairs of the military and military in the vassal states?"
Zhu Houzhao hesitated for a moment and shook her head.
Ye Chunqiu said again: "Then ask Your Majesty again, does my Ming Dynasty have the ability to attack the unjust ministers? Perhaps Emperor Wen has it from time to time, but since the Tumu Fort's change, the military discipline has gradually become corrupt and the garrison has become even worse. How dare I ask, is there any now?"
