my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 589 The Lord of ZTE
To implement the new policy, there are too many facts to deal with.

Reports from all over the country flew in like snowflakes.

Prince Zhu Gaochi is at his busiest time right now, and the princes of Wenyuan Pavilion don't even touch the ground.

Fortunately, the prince was assisted by a senior scholar, and the senior scholar was assisted by many family members, so he was well organized.

At this time, a group of newcomers ushered in this Wenyuan Pavilion. Most of these people are outstanding graduates from various colleges. Court.

They are saviors, and their nature is still civil servants. They are responsible for contacting various ministries, conveying the will, or assisting the scholars in drafting tickets. Of course, most of the time, they still make suggestions and prepare for inquiries.

This is also what Zhu Gaochi meant.

The New Deal is implemented all over the world, and most of the memorials in various parts of the world are related to the New Deal. Some are about railways, some are about business taxation, and some are about workshops, postal services, etc.

These reports, in fact, not only the original family members did not understand, but they were very blind, even the grand scholars were blinded.

Therefore, after careful selection, a total of 110 civil servants from various prefectures and counties in Zhili, as well as the Railway Department, Postal Department, or the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and the Ministry of Railways entered the center and became Sheren.

And one of them, Zhang Anshi felt familiar, so he recruited him and said, "What's your name?"

"Your Highness, student Xia Xuan."

Hearing this name, Zhang Anshi suddenly thought of it, and couldn't help saying: "Look at the memory of this king, he is the son of Duke Xia, and he made military exploits last time. I didn't expect you to come to Wenyuan Pavilion. How are you, are you used to it?" ?”

Xia Xuan said: "Your Highness, I'm still used to it."

Zhang Anshi then said again: "Your father is getting old, and now he has recovered and became Minister of the Ministry of Education. Don't disappoint him."

Xia Xuan said, "Yes."

Zhang Anshi said: "By the way, draft a report for this king."

Xia Xuan nodded, took out the motherboard immediately, and started recording.

Zhang Anshi folded his hands behind his back, thought for a while, and said: "Minister Zhang Anshi said... the King of Japan and the King of Korea are my vassals of the Ming Dynasty. They are called foreign countries, and they are actually a country of father and son. Now that I am in peace with the Ming Dynasty, I should call the two kings to Beijing to have an audience. All expenses along the way will be paid by the court..."

Xia Xuan wrote it down, and then said: "The student went to draw up."

Zhang Anshi nodded and said: "Go ahead, after you finish writing, I will show you to me for a while."

Xia Xuan left in a hurry.

This memorial was quickly delivered to the prince.

It's just that the prince Zhu Gaochi frowned when he saw it, and his face was thoughtful.

The last conversation is still vivid in my memory, but in a blink of an eye, I never thought that this Anshi changed from his previous appearance, and he was very friendly to North Korea and Japan, and praised Japan and North Korea fiercely.

Speaking of it, North Korea is obedient, but it is reasonable to say, but Wa... not so much.

If the two kings are summoned to Beijing again, and the two kings really come to see them, and their attitude is very respectful, then... the imperial court will have no way to put forward harsh conditions.

After all, Daming is a country of etiquette. The so-called stretching out your hand and not hitting people with smiles, you can't be cruel enough to imitate King Qin, deceive King Chu to Xianyang, put him under house arrest, and then attack Chu.

If they continue to be friendly like this, and the relationship is even closer, then... the fiefdoms of the Wa Kingdom and the Joseon Kingdom...

After careful consideration, Prince Zhu Gaochi still raised his pen without hesitation, and approved the memorial.

So the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple began to get busy, dispatching envoys quickly to read out the will of the Ming court, and at the same time making preparations for the possibility of the two kings coming to Beijing.

Zhang Anshi seemed to have completely forgotten about this matter very quickly, and never mentioned it again.

These days, there are too many memorials to deal with.

Every now and then, there will be new memorials. Today, a certain Lang official begged to clean up the river silt in the west of the city, thinking that it would be unsightly.

A few days later, someone played again, saying that in the west of the city, the illegal harvesting of trees is too serious and needs to be severely punished.

It seems that the Habayashi Guard in the west of the city has suddenly become a hot place, and it can always bother the attention of these courtiers and princes.

Such an approach, even those who haven't recalled it, probably know that this west of the city is a treasured place of geomantic omen.

As a result, quite a few merchants began to improvise and began to do some 'business' near the west of the city.

But the deal hadn't been done yet, and soon they returned in a hurry, because...they realized at this moment that this deal...was no longer their turn.

Most of the land in the west of the city, surrounding those built mansions, has long been in the hands of Qixia Trading Company.

At the end of the year, someone came to play again.

The king of North Korea and the king of Wa both set off, and the fleet of Daming went to greet them in person. After crossing the ocean, they will soon set foot in China.

This news came out, in fact, it is not surprising.

The King of Korea has always been more submissive, since the Ming court called, he dared not not come.

But the Japanese king conferred by the imperial court is different.

In the early Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates had already begun to appear in the southeast, looting and killing wantonly.

Emperor Taizu Gao was furious, so he planned to join forces with the Japanese king to attack the Japanese pirates.

So in the second year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu Gao sent envoys to Japan.

The Japanese king who was in power at that time was called Huailiang. When the envoys of the Ming Dynasty arrived in Japan, Huailiang refused to recognize the status of the Ming Dynasty, imprisoned seven envoys, and then executed five of them, leaving only two envoys, Yang Zai and Wu Wenhua. .

Later, when he learned that Daming had completely wiped out the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and that his power had shaken the world, the Japanese king immediately sent envoys to send back the imprisoned Ming envoys, and in order to express his apology, he returned some of the things that were plundered by the Japanese pirates. The people of the Ming Dynasty.

But for the extermination of Japanese pirates, he expressed his non-cooperation.

Zhu Yuanzhang learned that the small feudal kingdom dared to disobey Shangyi, so he sent envoys to reprimand Huailiang, and threatened that the Ming army would be ready to fight across the sea at any time.

The Japanese king was unmoved, and wrote a letter for the envoy to take back to Nanjing.

The original words are: The Japanese who live far and weak...still have a heart of contentment...Your Majesty is the Lord of China...often with the intention of extinction.Even though the Ming Dynasty had elite soldiers and good generals, and the ministers had Confucius and Mencius in their dissertations, and Sun Wu in their dissertations on martial arts, Your Majesty raised elite troops to invade the minister's territory. As far as the Japanese state is concerned, those who obey may not necessarily live, and those who oppose may not necessarily die...

In fact, even the emperors and ministers of the Ming Dynasty were a little confused when they read this letter.

The weapon used by the Japanese country to resist the Ming Dynasty is the study of Confucius and Mencius in literature, and the art of war such as Sun Tzu and Wu Qi in martial arts.

But at this time, when the letter of credence was passed back to Nanjing, Zhu Yuanzhang's anger had long since dissipated. He had no great interest in conquest of the Wa Kingdom far away in the sky. In the end, he chose Huairou, re-appointed the king of the Wa Kingdom, and made the Wa Kingdom Listed as a country not to be conquered.

This is not because Taizu Gaohuang has doubts because he thinks crossing the sea is troublesome.But judging from the various words and deeds of Emperor Taizu Gao during his lifetime, in his opinion, Daming’s confidant’s serious troubles will always be in the north. In the edict when he was about to die, he reiterated this point again and again, and taught his descendants to keep in mind that they should not waste the country's power easily, but should focus on the surveillance and differentiation of alien races in the north.

The current king of the Wa Kingdom is actually Ashikaga Yoshinaka.

Of course, this kind of king's statement is actually not accurate. This Ashikaga Yoshinaka, in terms of real status, should be the sixth generation general of the Muromachi Shogunate of the Wa Kingdom.

But it was this general who controlled almost all the power in the Wa country.

After the shogun took control of the Wa Kingdom, he monopolized the diplomacy with Daming, claiming to be the master of the Wa Kingdom.

As far as Daming is concerned, he actually doesn't bother to pay attention to what is famous here, anyway, it's not his own family, as long as there is someone who can make the decision, as usual, the golden seal of the King of Japan is issued.

Judging from this Ashikaga Yoshinaka, he should be the lord of ZTE in the shogunate. After he succeeded his elder brother and became the general who conquered barbarians, he immediately began to strictly prohibit other daimyos from having private contacts with Ming Dynasty and monopolize the power of trade.

At the same time, continue to strengthen the power of the shogunate and attack monks!

In just ten years, the power of the Muromachi shogunate has reached unprecedented levels.

As a insightful leader, Ashikaga Yoshinori is by no means ignorant of the changes taking place outside.In fact, he knows better than anyone else that great changes have taken place overseas. The size of the Ming merchant ships entering and leaving the waters of Kyoto is getting bigger and bigger, and the style is getting more and more novel, which has already aroused the vigilance of Ashikaga Yoshinaka.

This time he came across the sea, the purpose is not only to test the depth of Da Ming, but at the same time, he wants to personally investigate the situation of Da Ming.

Of course, the Ming court summoned them, and they had no choice but to come at this time.Furthermore, this Ashikaga Yoshinaka certainly believed deeply that Daming would definitely not kill Lai Shi, and take any measures against him, the great general who conquered barbarians.

This time, the Japanese envoys, probably because the general went there in person, are particularly large in scale.

What they boarded was Da Ming's fleet to meet them.

As soon as he saw this ship, Ashikaga Yoshinaka was shocked. Such a huge ship had a huge impact on him.

Immediately afterwards, he crossed the sea all the way without incident, only his mood could not be calmed down for a long time.

When he was about to enter the Songjiangkou Port, he was almost dazzled and started a new round of shock.

You know, on this route, at regular intervals, you can see ships flying the flag of the Ming Dynasty coming in and out, and there are countless loads of goods. The huge Huating Port is full of people, and the ships entering the inland river are connected. Start to take them up the river.

In the past few dozen days, the entire Japanese envoys have almost no time to see the scenery and customs.

Because what they have seen and heard has surpassed their cognition.

What's even more frightening is that when they arrived in Zhili and saw the steel monster roaring and running on the railroad tracks with their own eyes, one can imagine the shock.

The aristocrats and warriors who came along, who had always considered themselves noble, could see these things they had never seen before, and they, who were proud before, all fell silent.

At this time, Zhang Anshi, King of the Song Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, was ordered to personally welcome Ashikaga Yoshikado and others into the city.

Ashikaga Yoshinori met Zhang Anshi.

Greeting each other, Zhang Anshi was extraordinarily enthusiastic, asking for warmth.

Although Ashikaga Yoshinaka is not a Han Chinese, but he is very proficient in Chinese. To be precise, everyone’s educational background is almost the same. From the beginning of language learning, I started to learn Chinese, read the Four Books and Five Classics, and studied Confucius and Mencius.It's just that Ashikaga is better at teaching, Zhang Anshi is notoriously a scumbag, and belongs to half-baked.

After exchanging polite greetings, Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "His Royal Highness has been looking forward to your coming..."

It was only after these words were uttered that he said out of courtesy and righteousness: "His Royal Highness Song, I don't know if His Majesty the Emperor...is he sick?"

Ashikaga Yoshinaka was smiling, but he directly asked an extremely sensitive question.

He originally thought that it was the Emperor Ming's intention to call him here, but now he had a vague feeling that it might have something to do with the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the current crown prince is already the crown prince of Jianguo, who also holds great power, and is not much different from the emperor of Ming Dynasty.

It's just... At this juncture, the sensitive Ashikaga Yoshinaka thought that this Nanjing city might become a place of right and wrong, so he couldn't help being a little cautious.

Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "Your Majesty's dragon body is healthy, but he seldom interferes with common affairs recently."

Ashikaga Yoshinaka saw that Zhang Anshi's expression didn't look fake, but obviously he wouldn't easily believe this statement, but he didn't raise any more questions.

Ashikaga Yoshinori smiled and said, "This visit to China is an eye-opener, and I know that the prosperity of China's products is by no means comparable to that of our country."

Zhang Anshi said politely: "Your Majesty Ashikaga speaks seriously, actually... what does this have to do with the prosperity of products? In the end... it's just the result of the New Deal."

Ashikaga Yoshinaka was not surprised by these words. He had heard a lot about the New Deal along the way.

Now that Zhang Anshi took the initiative to mention it, he gradually developed a strong interest.

He is the master of Zhongxing, and he is not a mediocre person. After ascending to the position of general, it took almost ten years of hard work to barely strengthen the power of the shogunate in Japan.

But now, he suddenly realized that compared with this Daming, he was really nothing.

At this moment, when I think about it carefully, what I have done with all my heart and mind is actually quite ridiculous.

It's like, you learn to drive from others, you work hard, and you buy a seven-handed Xiali, thinking that you just need to work hard, you can become a generation of car gods, ten years of hard work, finally relying on the opponent Through continuous study, I have developed a whole body of skills.

So I wanted to try the depth of the teacher, just when you excitedly drove the seven-handed Xiali into the track, consciously, although the performance of the other party may be better than yours, but I learned from Daming's "Confucius and Mencius" and "Sun Wu" If you work harder, you may not be able to lose much.

As a result, just when you are complacent and feel that you are about to achieve a positive result, the other party... just press a button, and his car... flies up.

Yes, it flew up, because...their version...has been updated again.

……

Recently, due to being too busy and tired, Tiger’s toothache has recurred and his face is swollen. This kind of pain can only be felt by those who have experienced it. Therefore, the recent updates are occasionally unsatisfactory. I hope everyone can understand, thank you.
