When he went to court on the second day, Yunxi asked the waiters to read out the imperial edict, and conferred the titles of Yan Hui's fifty-ninth descendant Sun Xihui, Zengzi's sixtieth descendant Sun Zhicui, Zilu's descendant Zhonglu, Mencius's descendant Xiwen, Minshan's descendant Min Shao, and Duanmuci's descendant
Duanmutan, Ran Ruzhang, a descendant of Ran Qiu, became a hereditary doctor of "Five Classics" in the Hanlin Academy, and asked seven families to send people to Ying Fan, Song Fan, Min Fan, Luo Fan, Pu Fan, Yong Fan and Su Fan to "educate" the local people.
The power of these seven families is far inferior to that of the Kong family, and Yunxi does not need to discuss with them, he can just issue an edict directly. Together with the previously named Kong Xilu, the head of the Southern Sect of the Kong family, they were sent to the east and south of the Ming Dynasty respectively.
Eight families who were proficient in Confucianism went to the feudal lords to 'educate' the local people.
Yunxi's move was not only to strengthen the education of local elites, but also to strengthen local control. In the future, the vassal states in Northeast China and Nanyang must withdraw from the vassal, whether it is to directly withdraw from the vassal or to extend the grace order, it must be
After almost civilizing the local barbarians, the vassal was withdrawn.
In this case, it is not only necessary to ensure that the local vassal king is the Zhu family, but also to strengthen national identity and economic ties, especially national identity. Historically, Wallachia, Transylvania and Moldavia have long-term conflicts.
There are three countries, but in modern times, because they all considered themselves Romanians, they miraculously merged into one country under the attack from both sides by Austria-Hungary and Russia.
As long as the people from these families took root in the local area, Confucianism would take root in the local area. Confucianism has been the main knowledge of the Han nation for more than a thousand years, and it is enough to educate the people who were originally very backward in culture.
And this is also learning from the advanced experience of Westerners, using swords and guns in one hand and scriptures in the other.
Of course, the civil and military officials present would not raise any objections. The generals did not care about this, and this was exactly what the civil officials strongly advocated for civilizing the barbarians. All the officials knelt down and shouted, "The Emperor is a wise man."
After a while, everyone got up and stood up. Yunxi felt that no one had anything to report, so he whispered to the waiter to let him announce the next court. But just as the waiter took a step forward and didn't speak, he heard a voice from below:
"Your Majesty, I have this memorial."
Yunxi lowered his head and saw that it was Zheng Yi, the Minister of Rites, and asked, "What's the matter, Qing Zheng?"
"Your Majesty, after the envoys from various foreign countries who went to Guangzhou to pay homage to His Majesty at the end of the fourth year returned to the capital with Your Majesty, they have stayed in the capital for a few days. Now Fusang and other envoys have requested to return to the country, please allow Your Majesty's permission."
"Also, Su Manli, the envoy of Majapayi Kingdom, asked to see His Majesty." Zheng Yi said.
When Yunxi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Allow Fusang and other envoys to return home, so they don't have to say goodbye to me anymore. We will send officials from the Ministry of Rites to take them to the port in Shanghai."
"As for the envoy from Boyi Kingdom, since he has something to ask for, I will meet him."
After Yunxi took these foreign envoys to Annan, he also took them with him when he returned to Beijing. In fact, he just wanted to keep the envoys of one country in the Ming Dynasty, but keeping only one country's envoys was too impractical.
So they were all brought back to the capital. Naturally, these foreign envoys were willing to enjoy a few more days in the Ming Dynasty. Except for a few people who wanted to return to their countries to report the Samarkand spy case, everyone else followed Yunxi to Yingtian Mansion.
Yunxi was actually a little anxious. He couldn't keep dragging this matter out and had to give an explanation. However, Majapayi's envoy never asked to see him after returning to Beijing, and he couldn't show weakness and take the initiative to summon him. Now he finally heard that Su
Manli asked to see him and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Having said this, no one had anything to report. The waiter announced loudly that he would withdraw from the court, and Yunxi also stood up and left Fengtian Hall.
But after returning to the Qianqing Palace, Yunxi did not immediately prepare to receive him. Instead, he sat down to comment on the memorial. It was not until Huang Lu walked to him that he whispered, "Guan, Su Manli, the envoy of Majapayi Kingdom, wants to see you." At that time, he said slowly: "Tell him to wait for a while and change my clothes." After half an hour, Yunxi sat down at the place where he usually received envoys from the foreign countries and met Su Manli.
After seeing Yunxi, Su Manli immediately knelt down and said: "Su Manli, the minister of the sinful country, has met His Majesty the Ming Emperor. Long live His Majesty! Long live His Majesty!"
Yunxi just stared at his back, and after a long time he said: "Pingshen."
However, as he expected, Su Manli did not stand up, but continued to kneel and said: "Your Majesty, the minister who sinned against the country dare not stand up."
"The Samarkand spy case and the witchcraft case that were interrogated in Guangzhou in the first month of the Celestial Dynasty were involved in the case of Manchu Boyi, but the ruler of our country had no knowledge of this matter. If I tell lies, I am willing to suffer the punishment of Ling Chi."
Su Manli was very scared. After interrogating the two cases in the first month, he immediately asked to see the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but was refused. Later, Yunxi went to Annan and brought envoys from many countries but did not bring him with him. He was very afraid of the Ming Dynasty. For this reason, he sent troops to Manchu Boyi. It happened that the army had just pacified Annan, and it was convenient to turn south and fight another battle.
Later, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty returned to the north, but most of the troops still stayed in Annan and did not return. He became even more worried. He was worried that Yunxi had actually made a decision to conquer Majapahit, but he only wanted to wait until the army had rested before officially announcing it. He hurriedly followed him to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to ask Yunxi not to send troops to attack Majapahit. After several days of preparation, he formally proposed to meet him.
If Yunxi knew what he was thinking, he would definitely laugh. The Ming Dynasty was different from the other countries in Nanyang. Everything was upright. Yunxi couldn't keep it secret because he sent out large armies to fight in this era. Besides, he didn't think it was possible for small countries like Nanyang to do so. Of course, the strength of resisting the Ming Dynasty cannot be made public in terms of tactics, but he never tries to keep it secret in terms of strategy. If he had decided to send troops to Manchu Boyi, he would definitely issue an order immediately.
But even if he didn't know what he was thinking, after listening to Su Manli's words, Yunxi said very calmly: "Even if your country's leader did not instigate this matter, how can your country's leader have nothing to do with it?" ?Could it be that the princes and ministers of your country do not obey the orders of the Lord of your country?"
"Besides, this is just your one-sided statement. I don't know what the situation is. I believe you have not lied to me, but how can the leader of your country tell you such a thing?"
Hearing Yunxi's calm words, Su Manli was even more frightened. He knew that the kings of the Central Plains wanted to keep their emotions and anger hidden. Even if they were angry, they would not show it on the surface. On the contrary, the more angry they wanted to be, the calmer they became. So Su Manli became more and more calm. Manli trembled and kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, since the second year of the founding of the People's Republic of China in Majapahit, the power of the Ming Dynasty has been witnessed. All the princes, princes and ministers in the world have been attracted by the power of the Ming Dynasty. How can they provoke the Ming Dynasty?"
"Furthermore, if the Ming Dynasty discovers that this matter was done by people from our country, the Ming Dynasty will definitely be furious and send troops. It will be impossible for our country to resist the Ming Dynasty's soldiers. Once the army arrives, they will all be destroyed. How will this be good for our country?"
Yunxi still said very calmly: "This is not necessarily possible. Besides, the witchcraft on me this time was originally very secret. If my guards hadn't accidentally broken through the harvesting and cutting, it happened to be Sanfeng in Wudang Mountain."
Since the real person is near Guangzhou, this matter will definitely not be discovered, and perhaps the leader of your country will be disadvantageous to me because of this."
"Your Majesty, the Lord of our country knows very well that the Ming Dynasty's Hidden Dragons and Crouching Tigers are capable of producing numerous people who are a hundred times stronger than me, Majapayi, in everything. How could he be so lucky?" Su Manli kowtowed again.
The two of them talked for a long time. Zheng Yi and Chen Ji, who led Su Manli in, interceded for him again, and Yunxi pretended to be persuaded: "In this case, I will not send troops to attack Majapahit for the time being, but I will
I will send envoys to your country to investigate this matter. If any clues are found, your country will definitely not be spared!"
"I thank your Majesty for your grace!" Su Manli knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, knocking blood from his forehead before standing up again.
Yunxi said again: "Even if this matter was not done by the king of your country, as a king, he can't control his ministers. How can it be done by a human king?" After scolding the king of Majapayi for a while, Su
Manley just stood and listened.
Finally, Yunxi said: "Your country needs to capture the three Ude tribes, and I will punish them in the capital. All the wizards named Jin Rong will also be sent to the Ming Dynasty. It must be done before the first day of the first lunar month next year!"
"In addition, your country needs to send three million dan of grain to Guangzhou City of the Ming Dynasty to atone for this crime."
Su Manli agreed one by one. Although he was a little distressed about sending three million stones of grain, he also knew that he could not refuse. Besides, Java Island's grain was harvested three times a year. Although it was not very delicious, the nobles in their country secretly imported it from the Ming Dynasty every year.
Food, but Ming Dynasty did not specify the taste.
Yunxi scolded him a few more times in the tone of a father instructing his son, and asked him to retreat. Before retreating, Su Manli knelt down and thanked him for his kindness.
But as soon as Su Manli retreated, Chen Ji asked: "Your Majesty, if your Majesty suspects that this matter was done by the Lord of Majapayi, then send troops to conquer it; if your Majesty does not think that this was done by the Lord of his country,
Why should we send people to investigate when we can just reprimand and punish? Ming officials are unfamiliar with the place in Java, so how can they investigate the truth of the matter?"
Yunxi smiled and just said: "I also know that they can't find out the truth of the matter through investigation. I just want to take this opportunity to see what the situation in Majapahit is like."
"I don't believe that this was done by the leader of his country, but it still happened. First, it was the tacit consent of his country's leader. Second, his country's leader had difficulty controlling his country, so he didn't know. I want to know the truth.
What kind of situation is it?"
But the actual situation is not that simple. He not only wants to know what the situation is like in Majapahit, but also wants to use this to explore the human geography of Java.
Of course, Yunxi was very angry that someone was trying to assassinate him. He was so angry that he wanted to kill all the Majapahit Kingdom. But when Kublai Khan failed to send troops to Java Island, he had to be cautious about it. He knew the humanities of Java Island in advance.
No matter what the geography and products are like, you will be more confident in whatever you do.
Besides, he still has to prepare for the war against Samarkand, which is a life-and-death enemy, so Majapahit's affairs can only be put aside for the time being.
Having said this, Zheng Yi reported: "Your Majesty, Fusang and other envoys from the three countries are going to return to their countries. Who should we send to send them back?"
"Send Yang Ben, the chief guest of the Ministry of Etiquette." Yunxi casually ordered.
…
…
"We have to say goodbye after a long journey. Since we have arrived in Shanghai, there is no need to trouble Mr. Yang. We can just go to the dock and take the boat back." Fuso envoy Hino Nobuaki said to Yang Ben.
In fact, Yang Ben was not willing to send them to the dock again, so he just went with the flow: "In that case, I wish you all a safe journey, and I can still see you all on New Year's Day next year."
"Thank you for your kind words." Hino Nobu smiled and agreed, leading the people from the Fuso Kingdom to their Fuso ship.
After boarding the ship and leaving the dock of the Ming Dynasty, another envoy from the Fuso Kingdom asked Hino Nobuhan, who was standing on the deck looking towards the capital of the Ming Dynasty: "Your Excellency, after you return to the country and see the Minister of Taizheng, how do you tell the Minister of Taizheng the identity of the body?"
The rotten Prince Qingtai is still alive. Although he lost one eye, he is still alive in the Ming Dynasty and is highly used by the Ming Dynasty emperor?"
"Why did you tell the Minister of Taizheng about this?" Nobuaki Hino turned his head and looked at the servant who was sorting out the goods purchased from the Ming Dynasty, and estimated how much he could earn from these goods that cost 350 guan.
"Well, don't you tell the Minister of Taizheng about this?" the man said in great surprise.
"Of course, don't tell." Nobu Hino, who calculated that he could make more than three times the profit, showed his good mood and said with a smile: "If the Minister of Taisei knew about this matter, not only would the court be in turmoil, but the original minister who had already been demoted to Shikoku Island would
The royal family is even more restless. Nowadays, it is better to do less than to do more."
"But if the minister of Taizheng knows about this in the future, how should he explain it?"
"Why do we need to explain? I think the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is unwilling to publicize this matter. Even if the minister of Taizheng accidentally finds out about it, it has nothing to do with us."
"This," the man still felt uneasy.
"Sanlang, you don't have to worry," Hino Nobuaki said, "No matter what, it won't implicate the two of us."
At the same moment, the former Fuso royal family who was given the name Zhu Hengshi also said to Kitabi Genshin: "You are returning to Fuso this time, firstly, to pick up the families of the warriors who served for the Ming Dynasty, and secondly, to win over those who are about to live their lives.
For those warriors who cannot go down, let them serve the Ming Dynasty."
"My identity has been discovered by Hino Nobuaki. Although he will definitely not tell Minamoto Yoshimitsu, he must be careful not to return home secretly. This time, you cannot use my name to recruit samurai, nor can you and the Kusunoki family use my name.
name."
"And the third one," Zhu Hengshi took out a bag from his waist, handed it to him and said, "This is the item I want you to give to Fang Ze's son Fang Duo."
Kitabi Genshin took the bag and hung it on his waist next to a bag similar to this one. After he finished his instructions, he hesitated several times, but finally asked: "My lord, do you really want to do this?"
How about the Fuso warriors? Coming to a strange place to fight for the Ming Dynasty?"
"I don't know if this is good or bad for Fuso, but it is a good thing for the samurai. They can put their martial arts to full use and get more rewards than serving the daimyo at home."
"I know what you are worried about." Zhu Hengshi said: "If the Ming Dynasty invades Fusang one day in the future, I will definitely try my best to stop it. But before that, let's work for a better life for the warriors."
