Ambassador Yang kowtowed.

It is said that Lao Zhu is dead, and I can finally enjoy his great gift of five bows and three kowtows.

Ambassador Yang has a special status. After all, he is the only friendly envoy that Ming Dynasty currently has equal diplomatic relations with. The others are just tribute envoys of the vassal. He enjoys the treatment of the vassal king because he represents a country of the same level, so he worships alone. After performing the ceremony honestly, he quietly exited, and then still stood alone in his place, looking at the huge mausoleum in front of him. On the hillside below the Xiaoling Mausoleum, there were a bunch of newly built tombs. These were Lan Yu and others. , guarding Xiaoling like a bodyguard.

No matter what their mood was in the end and they pulled the trigger on their own heads, now they have been guarding Lao Zhu for generations.

As for the woman buried with him...

Of course this is no longer available.

But this was not done by the little princess. When Zhu Yunxi was alive, he had already decreed the abolition of the burial system.

After all, he was also someone who had been influenced by modern ideas for seven years, and he was not willing to continue this barbaric system, because he was ridiculed countless times by Yang Feng and Sister Liu for this matter. Shortly after he ascended the throne, he announced the permanent abolition of sacrificial burial.

In fact, he was planning to abolish slavery.

But he was persuaded by Yang Feng. After all, Ambassador Yang now has a lot of slaves.

This system must still be retained.

The most restrictive thing is that you cannot be a slave to the Ming Dynasty's household registration.

And this is not allowed in the first place. Zhu Yuanzhang's system treats good people as slaves, which is a serious crime.

Therefore, among the kings' accusations against Zhu Yunxi, they also included not burying women for Lao Zhu.

But no one cares about this now.

"Three emperors and five emperors of morality, fame after Xia, Shang and Zhou, seven heroes and five hegemons fought in the Spring and Autumn period, rise and fall in an instant. There are several lines of names in the Qing Dynasty, countless barren hills in Beimang, the fields of the predecessors are harvested by the later ones, it is said that it is a fierce battle between dragons and tigers."

Ambassador Yang sighed with emotion.

With this funeral, an era finally ended.

Lao Zhu and his troubled heroes eventually turned into graves.

"The ambassador is very talented in literature."

Zhang Xianzong said behind him.

"Well, this was written by a talented man from your Ming Dynasty more than a hundred years later. He was the one who wrote the song I like to sing, "The Rolling Waters of the Yangtze River Passing East."

Yang Feng said.

"The ambassador is quite straightforward."

A man of about the same age next to Zhang Xianzong said.

"Who is this?"

Yang Feng said.

"I, a scholar from the Hanlin Academy, explain Jin."

The man said.

"Ah, I've heard that a talented man has a big mouth and doesn't know how to restrain himself. In the end, he was buried in the snow by the Jin Yiwei and froze to death."

Yang Feng said.

Xie Jin fell silent for a moment.

"If a minister offends the ruler with his outspoken words and is brutally attacked by the royal guards, he will be considered a worthy death."

After almost a minute, he spoke slowly.

"As a human being, the most important thing is to be happy, as long as you like it!"

Yang Feng said.

Xie Jin fell silent again.

Obviously, Yang Feng's unconventional play interrupted his train of thought. In fact, he had passed the Jinshi examination and became a Shujishi more than ten years ago, but he was kicked back home by Lao Zhu.

Legend has it that Lao Zhu cherished his talent, but felt that his big mouth problem really needed to be corrected, so he sent him home to change his painting style first. As for whether it is true or not, it is hard to say, but that is the legend anyway.

After Zhu Yunxi succeeded to the throne, he immediately recalled him to the capital.

Although he was from Jiangxi, he had left the court many years ago, so he was not involved in the subsequent series of events.

In fact, there are a lot of newcomers in the imperial court now.

Yang Feng originally didn't care about the affairs of the court. There was nothing wrong with the officialdom system of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, it was the most advanced system in the world. The emperor and the cabinet bachelors who served as secretaries formed the center and controlled the six ministries and various temples.

Arm, holding a rope tied to local officials, who manage various places. So far, no other system in the world has been able to establish it. At most, North Korea is a copycat, but in fact North Korea still has

There are many powerful people.

Japan...

Japan is still a great name!

The king of Japan in the Ming Dynasty still lives in the capital. Lao Zhu gave him a piece of land on a small hill not far from Mount Wutai, and then Ashikaga Yoshimitsu paid for it and built a prince-level palace there.

It is also a temple.

Because Lao Zhu’s job for the Japanese king was to chant sutras and pray for the world.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu managed the Japanese state as the Prime Minister of the Japanese state.

But the daimyo has the final say in each place. At most, they gather with him every year. The main task is to discuss the share of property that will be paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty in the next year, and the share of labor that will be sent to Yinshan. The mining of Iwami Yinshan,

The mine supervisors sent by the Ming Dynasty were in charge, but the required labor force was borne by the Japanese country in the form of corvee work. That is, each of the major subjects brought their own dry food and went to Iwami Yinshan to open the mine for a few months on a rotating basis.

So exhausted...

It is their honor to work to death for the Ming Dynasty. They should be grateful for this opportunity. What else do they need?

Be grateful!

Therefore, in the past two years, the problem of resistance among the poor in various parts of the Japanese country has become somewhat serious.

However, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and the daimyo also worked diligently to suppress these unruly people to ensure that the Ming Emperor's silver mining would not be affected. Their loyalty was also well rewarded, and they not only received rewards from the Emperor from time to time.

They were given titles, and were rewarded with treasures from time to time, and then they all lived a life of intoxication and dreams.

Anyway, the Ming Emperor was in charge, so they didn't have to compete with each other for territory.

All his energy was to serve the Ming Emperor and suppress the unruly people below.
