After two months, Emperor Chongzhen sat on the dragon throne again, and he still felt a little emotional.
Lin Fan stood aside, wearing black armor and looking very powerful. Most of the ministers present, except for the officials from the Ministry of Rites, didn't know what was going on.
"My dear friends, I have to announce a big event today. However, before announcing this, I would like to meet with the envoys of Annan Kingdom first!"
Emperor Chongzhen said coldly.
kindness!
An envoy from Annan!
The ministers present were all shocked when they heard these words, because Annan Kingdom was once a province and the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Later, after many twists and turns, they became independent again, and later even invaded Yunnan. They actually sent envoys here. Could it be that they saw that the Ming Dynasty was getting stronger and came to establish diplomatic relations?
"Your Majesty, what is the purpose of the envoy from Annan Kingdom coming to our Ming Dynasty?
Why didn’t I know about it earlier?”
one person asked.
"Haha! It's just a trivial matter. I didn't even plan to see them. However, they are already here. I'm worried about my face, so I might as well meet them!"
Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile.
The ministers said no more, and then two royal guards brought in the envoys from Annan Kingdom.
Pei Nanjin walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony and led a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites to kneel on the ground and salute respectfully, saying: "Foreign Minister Pei Nanjin has met His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Get up and tell me what that Moiré red means."
Emperor Chongzhen said directly.
Pei Nanjin stood up slowly, looked up at Emperor Chongzhen, and said, "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette. Doesn't it seem inappropriate to call me Emperor Annan so directly?"
kindness!
Lin Fan looked at Pei Nanjin with great interest. He did not expect that he, the Minister of Rites of the Annan Kingdom, would dare to speak such arrogant nonsense in the realm of the Ming Dynasty.
"Haha! Annan Kingdom used to be the territory of my Ming Dynasty. Your emperor is also a minister of my Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty calls him by his name. What's wrong?"
One person said coldly.
"How outrageous! Annan Country is not a small place, but you dare to talk arrogantly and nonsense on top of my Ming Dynasty. Come on! Pull him down and chop him down!"
One person had a bad temper and said angrily.
"Hmph! This tiny place actually dares to send envoys here. Could it be that they are asking for peace? Is this your attitude if you want to ask for peace?"
Another person said coldly.
Pei Nanjin was angered by so many officials, but was not afraid at all. Instead, he smiled and said: "Haha! Everyone, as the saying goes, a good man does not mention his bravery in the past. In the past, our Annan Kingdom was indeed the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but it is no longer the case!"
"Didn't the Ming Dynasty be established after overthrowing the Yuan Dynasty?
If there is an old official of the Yuan Dynasty here now, would you still kneel down in front of him?"
kindness!
After Pei Nanjin said this, the civil and military ministers present became even more angry. Lin Fan looked at Pei Nanjin and found this person more and more interesting.
Such a person is just a mouthful, but in fact he has no ability. When he breaks through the Annan Kingdom, Pei Nanjin will definitely send him to the theater troupe. No, let him do cross talk.
Lin Fan thought in his heart, Xue Bingtian, the Minister of Rites, said: "How presumptuous! I, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, am the True Dragon Emperor! I am destined to become the emperor!"
"As the saying goes, the imperial power is determined by heaven. You, a small country in Annan, are unorthodox and are rebellious officials and traitors!"
Pei Nanjin looked at Xue Bingtian, the Minister of Rites, and said with disdain: "This must be the Minister of Rites, haha! We both have the same official position!"
"What you said is really vulgar. Let me ask you, who appointed the real Dragon Emperor?
Why can’t I, the Emperor of Annan, be the True Dragon Emperor?”
"If the True Dragon Emperor appears and the dynasty changes hands, then why fight?
Why don’t we just surrender!”
Pei Nanjin's mouth was a mouthful, and Xue Bingtian said angrily: "You are the one who is vulgar. You took advantage of the weakness of our Ming Dynasty and took away my Ming Dynasty's land in Yunnan. How dare you be so arrogant!"
"Master Xue, it's not that I'm arrogant, but that I hold the truth. The land of Yunnan is already the territory of my Annan Kingdom. It's inappropriate for you to come here with an imperial decree and ask us to return it, isn't it?"
Pei Nanjin said coldly.
"That's it! Xue Shangshu, don't argue with him."
Lin Fan spoke.
Xue Bingtian bowed and stepped aside. Lin Fan said in a deep voice: "I didn't ask you to come here today to argue with you. I just ask you to return the land of Yunnan and compensate three trillion taels of silver. Namo Hong agreed.
Is it done?"
kindness!
Seeing Lin Fan, Pei Nanjin actually felt an invisible pressure on Lin Fan, which made him breathless.
Pei Nanjin swallowed a big mouthful of saliva and said in a deep voice: "This must be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. In history, it is common for countries to have constant disputes and seize some land!"
“If the land is taken away and another country comes to claim it, it must be returned. What sense does this make?
The land of Yunnan has been managed in an orderly manner by me, the Annan Kingdom, and the people have lived a stable life. Please, His Majesty the Crown Prince, please refrain from starting a war!"
"Are you mentally ill?
What I’m asking you is whether Moore Hong has agreed, why are you telling me this?”
Lin Fan cursed directly.
Forehead……
Pei Nanjin was speechless. He didn't expect that he would be scolded directly. He straightened his clothes and said, "Your Highness, you! How can you scold someone directly?"
"I am the envoy of Annan Kingdom. Even though His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a distinguished status, you should give me basic respect!"
Lin Fan said coldly: "What kind of envoy are you?
The envoy is here for negotiation. When you get here, you just talk about your big principles and have no intention of negotiation at all. Are we all too busy?"
"I'm asking you about the imperial edict. Do you agree or not? You only need to answer me whether I agree or not. Why do you say so many things and nothing?"
this……
Lin Fan acted even more unreasonably, and Pei Nanjin was confused. He looked at Lin Fan and said, "Your Highness, I am here to negotiate peace with you!"
"For occupying the land in Yunnan, I, my Annan Kingdom, are willing to compensate the Ming Dynasty one million taels of silver! This is our sincerity, we do not want to have another war with the Ming Dynasty!"
Pei Nanjin changed his arrogance just now and was completely frightened by Lin Fan. Therefore, he did not dare to say compensation of hundreds of thousands taels of silver, but directly compensated one million taels.
"Haha! One million taels of silver, why are you sending a beggar away?"
"One million taels of silver, is that money?"
…
After hearing this, the officials of the Ming Dynasty all said with disdain that if Lin Fan hadn't checked the officials, they really thought that one million taels of silver was a lot.
However, Lin Fan randomly searched the house of an eunuch and found several million taels of silver. The officials in the capital collected twenty million taels of silver. Compared with this, one million taels of silver was nothing.
