I am the king of the dead

Chapter 615
Elena, who is sober in the world, doesn't want her children to accept religious baptism, and she doesn't even want her children to be converted to the Pope, because the current Emperor Ming doesn't like it.

Elena knew that she traveled thousands of miles to Daming just to hug her thighs and find a backer, so she was always trying to please Zhu Qiyu.

Zhu Qiyu chatted with Elena for a few words, and told a few words about pregnancy protection. Zhu Qiyu and Elena had some disagreements on whether to stay in the Heroine Hall.

Elena didn't want to let go of the burden of being a teacher in the general affairs department of the Women's Hall. Zhu Qiyu meant to protect the pregnancy with peace of mind, and finally Elena persuaded Zhu Qiyu.

Because the Tai Hospital said that miscarriage protection is not about recuperating in bed, but about exercising properly and maintaining a happy mood.

Since Elena is not afraid of hard work, Zhu Qiyu has no intention of forcibly confining Elena in the palace.

"Empress Chitose asked me to invite Your Majesty to return to Tai'an Palace to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival." Elena stood up. During the past few days of Mid-Autumn Festival, His Majesty is not in a good mood and will stay in the lecture hall.

But on this day of reunion, His Majesty still has to be invited back.

Zhu Qiyu stood up, nodded and said, "Go back to the palace."

To this day, the Ming Dynasty still implements the "Da Tong Li" instead of the Jingtai almanac. The new almanac will be officially implemented since the eighth year of Jingtai. Before that, the old and new almanacs run side by side.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in Tai'an Palace was over, Ran Siniang followed her Majesty to the bedroom, carefully checked her pulse, and after hearing and asking about it, Ran Siniang frowned and said worriedly: "Has Your Majesty ever been drinking heavily in recent days?"

"Yes!" Hearing Ran Guiren's question, Xing'an trembled with fright. Could it be that something is wrong with His Majesty's body? !
"The liver qi has been stagnant for a long time, and it loses its soft and comfortable nature, so it is irritable and irritable. If the qi is stagnated, it will lead to emotional depression." Ran Siniang said angrily: "Drink less to enjoy the mood, and overdrinking will hurt the liver!"

"Your Majesty is in the prime of his life now, so you don't have to take it seriously. You can't get rid of this alcoholism!"

Tobacco, alcohol and drugs are all addictive substances, and Ran Siniang is a good doctor. He has seen too many alcoholics and couldn't quit. In the end, he suffered from liver dysfunction and died of illness.

Ran Siniang is worried that His Majesty will become an alcoholic.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Ran Siniang who was full of worry and even a little angry, and quickly pulled Ran Siniang to sit down and said: "I can't drink a catty a year, and I won't drink too much in the future."

"Keeping health is to cherish yourself. Your Majesty does not cherish yourself. A concubine is no more than a woman in the palace. How dare you criticize what your majesty says and does. Your body belongs to your majesty. There is no need to tell me a woman." Ran Siniang was still sulking. , speaking insincerely.

Most of the illnesses of the family members of Tai'an Palace were diagnosed and treated by Ran Siniang. In these years, she has been in the imperial hospital for consultation. Ran Siniang's medical skills have improved by leaps and bounds. She is on duty in Jiejie Hospital. It is strange that her medical skills are not advanced.

Jiejieyuan, the place designated by the doctors of the Ming Dynasty to realize Taoism in Longchang.

If there is an experience bar for medical skills, the Tai Hospital and Jie Jie Hospital are undoubtedly the practice rooms where Daming can gain experience the fastest.

Zhu Qiyu is not very good at coaxing people, he prefers the routine of arguing at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed.

Ran Siniang was sulking, and she was not only angry at his husband for disobeying the doctor's advice, drinking too much and hurting his liver, but also at herself for not living up to expectations, even Elena was pregnant, but she didn't move for a long time.

When Xing'an left, he blew out the palace lanterns and left Tai'an Palace cheerfully.

In the early morning of the next day, the air was crisp and clear, and the air was filled with the joy of a good harvest. The controversy over the royal family's secrets, which had lasted for more than a month, finally came to an end.

Hu Wei began to fight back, and the angle of the counterattack was quite strange. He actually refuted the debate between Hua and Yi with the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers.

As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, is it disloyal and filial to discuss the family affairs of the emperor's father indiscriminately?

Hu Wei's theory was untenable at all, but many courtiers and Bizheng who were aggressive at first immediately fell silent.

Because Hu Yan is too shameless.

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, all kinds of former Confucian officials of the Yuan Dynasty refused to become officials because of the righteousness of the monarchs and ministers.

For example, Song Lian in the "Preface to Sending Dongyang Horses to Live" used the year name of the Yuan Dynasty instead of the year name of Wu Yuannian and Hongwu when he erected a stele for the Confucian mansion.

For example, the case of Xia Boqi's uncle and nephew cutting off his fingers and refusing to become an official.

At the beginning, how the former Confucian officials of the Yuan Dynasty refuted the debate between Hua and Yi with the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, and now Hu Wei refuted the debate between Hua and Yi with the righteousness of the monarch and ministers.

In the mansion newspaper, Hu Wei refuted the debate between Hua and Yi with the righteousness of a monarch and his ministers, not to refute that Elena was not worthy of an heir to the Ming Dynasty, but to bring up the old matter again.

Once someone quarreled with Hu Yan, Hu Yan would definitely bring out those disgusting things back then, make it clear, and completely tear the ugly faces of these fake Taoist scholars.

Hu Wei's way of quarreling and going straight to Xiasanlu to expose his old background, discussing the royal family's intimate gossip, disappeared immediately.

It's really insulting to be polite with someone who has no virtue!
At this time, Hu Wei was meeting with the North Korean envoy Jiang Mengqing, the envoy of the North Korean capital, and Jin He, the deputy envoy of the North Korean Central Council, in the Huitong Hall.

"See Duke Ming." The two envoys were very respectful. Jiang Mengqing and Jin He already knew what was going on in this announcement.

Daming is preparing for an overseas shipping department, and Daming has taken a fancy to Jeju Island.

"Excuse me." Hu Wei sat, and the two envoys stood respectfully.

Hu Yan said with a smile: "How is Shouyang Jun recently?"

Li Yu, the Lord of Shouyang, is the current king of Joseon. The former prince Li Hongwei refused to kneel down to welcome the imperial decree, and Ming Dynasty refused to give the canonization edict, which finally caused a scandal about Huang Biao's political affairs.

In the third year of Jingtai, Li Yu, the Lord of Shouyang, visited Daming as an envoy. In the fourth year of Jingtai, Li Yu launched a palace coup and imprisoned the prince's son Li Hongwei.

Then in June, Shouyang Lord Li Yu went to Daming again, accepted the canonization of the Emperor of Ming, and became the King of Joseon.

Jiang Mengqing said with a smile: "Since the last time my king came to Beijing to see him, he has never had any negligence. He pays tribute every year and does his best to take care of him personally."

"It's just that Gao Liji, who has been paying tribute before, has been closed for more than seven years. My family's king is often frightened, and often writes to urge, asking when to return to pay tribute to Gao Liji."

Every year, North Korea pays tribute to the Ming Dynasty with seven girls, ten servants, 16 maids, and ten firemen.

Since the first year of Jingtai, the emperor ordered to stop paying tribute to Gao Liji. The reason is very simple. These people have no place to settle, Tai'an Palace can't live there, and His Majesty has no shortage of warm beds.

Hailar in Tatar and Gao Liji in North Korea are all treated the same way, and the Ming emperor doesn't even want it.

"Your Majesty is benevolent. I can't see these girls traveling long distances and suffering in a foreign country. There is no need to mention this matter. Your Majesty will not allow it." Hu Wei shook his head helplessly and said.

Jiang Mengqing's expression darkened a lot. The tribute matter of Gao Liji involved all aspects.

For example, to spy on the news, in the past years, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had these maids from North Korea around him, and there was a place to go to inquire about the news, but now it is very difficult to spy on;
For example, Gao Liji can’t be sold at a high price. Gao Liji’s main feature is nobility, and it is used by the Ming Dynasty. To a certain extent, this kind of certification can make Gao Liji get rid of the lowly maidservant and become a high-end brand. If the emperor doesn’t want it, Gao Liji will start to depreciate;
For example, Gao Liji is not easy to cultivate. The business around Gao Liji in North Korea is an extremely large industrial chain. The devaluation of this brand has directly led to the possibility of the collapse of the entire industrial chain. It is difficult to imagine the exact news. What a scene it will be when we return home.

For the Ming emperor, what he lost was just a bunch of servant girls, but for North Korea, what he lost was a pillar industry.

So knowing that there was no hope, Jiang Mengqing still asked. After getting a negative answer, Jiang Mengqing and Jin He looked at each other and saw each other's worries.

"Your Majesty is benevolent." Jiang Mengqing said bravely.

Hu Wei pushed the teacup and said, "Mengding nectar, taste it."

"Recently, I heard that Lord Shouyang delayed six of his courtiers, is there such a thing?"

The throne of Shouyang Lord Li Yu was abdicated by the prince's son Li Hongwei, and the Ming emperor personally canonized it. The basic national policy implemented by Li Yu was to make friends with neighbors and please Daming.

But in the end, Li Yu won the throne by launching a palace change, and people were not convinced.

On June [-]st of the seventh year of Jingtai, Li Yu, Lord of Shouyang, entertained Yin Feng, the envoy of Ming Dynasty, at Changdeok Palace, the royal palace of the Joseon Dynasty. They ate hot pot and sang songs, and it was very good. .

Cheng Sanwen intends to support the prince's son Li Hongwei to return to the throne.

Li Yu arrested Cheng Sanwen and other six ministers, and sentenced him to Ling Chi.

Jiang Mengqing did not dare to omit any omissions and explained the matter clearly in detail. In the "Fan Guoyi Notes", it is clearly stipulated that when the king of the feudal country executes important officials, he should report to the state in detail, so that the state can be punished at any time. Inquire.

Hu Wei tapped the table with his fingers again and again, and asked strangely: "But the son of the prince, Li Hongwei, refused to kneel down to welcome the imperial decree, and has been imprisoned in the Siyi Pavilion until now, and has never left."

"This is Cheng Sanwen and others who successfully rebelled, how to support the prince's son Li Hongwei to return to the throne?"

"Could it be that they are planning...to rob prison?"

Jiang Mengqing's complexion changed, and he bowed his head and said: "That's not the case, Cheng Sanwen and other six people are planning to rebel, and when the major event is settled, they will ask Daming to allow the prince's son Li Hongwei to return to the country."

"With oral testimony as evidence, I ask Hu Shangshu to see clearly."

Hu Wei said calmly: "Everyone is dead, so is the confession still important? Isn't it up to you to arrange? This song Yang Jun cut the mess with a sharp knife and killed people. Is it a guilty conscience?"

"We Daming don't care about your fighting in North Korea, but if it involves my Daming, then we have to ask about it."

"Since you North Korea want to return to Prince Wang so much, you can take Prince Wang back when you return to Jinkou tomorrow."

Hu Yi finally wanted to see him, he was threatening.

Prince Li Hongwei was the political bargaining chip and gift given to Daming by Shouyang Lord Li Yu at the beginning. If he was sent back, then North Korea would never have peace.

"Hu Shangshu, this is absolutely unacceptable." Jiang Mengqing was a little flustered, and pushed Jin He, asking Jin He to say a few words.

Jin He could see it clearly, bowed his head and asked: "I implore Hu Shangshu to complete, what should be done to appease Your Majesty's wrath."

The topic finally came to the showdown that each other loves to see.

Hu Wei thought for a moment and said: "I, Da Ming, a country of etiquette, how could it be... Forget it, Your Majesty wants Jeju Island, and you figure out what you want to exchange from Da Ming, and Da Ming will not bully you."

Hu Wei originally wanted to create a trick in which North Korea offered soil, and Daming had no choice but to accept it, but considering the character of Emperor Ming, Hu Wei didn't bother to make superficial articles, and directly said what he wanted.

Hu Wei continued: "First: Japanese pirates often set foot on Tsushima Island and other shores to invade North Korea, causing most of the fertile land in southern North Korea to be uncultivable. Your Majesty wants Jeju Island to promise North Korea and set up an inspection department to clean up the Japanese pirates. .”

Hu Wei threw out the first condition, to rule the Japanese.

With North Korea's national power, Japanese pirates and other invasions, North Korea can only watch the Japanese pirates do evil, and the Japanese invaders are not fair. Most of the plains in southern North Korea cannot be farmed with peace of mind, and they have become a buffer zone between North Korea and Japanese pirates, so they are barren.

There is a food shortage in North Korea, and every year they have to rely on tribute to trade a large amount of food back. Hu Wei, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, knows this matter very well.

The old god Hu Wei said: "Second: Daming can provide some help in the reclamation of southern Korea. Daming needs a lot of wood. Daming can provide support for reclamation, logging and farming."

Large-scale reclamation of wasteland is a big problem. North Korea’s Sungkyunkwan can’t handle it at all. In later generations, Japanese pirates brazenly launched a war of aggression against China, supported the puppet Manchukuo, and struggled for more than ten years on the vast and vast black land. To solve the problem of farming, he asked the base camp for help every year, causing a lot of troubles.

"Thirdly, Jeju will build a city shipping department. Daming has granted North Korea the same status as Ryukyu. Free trade is not limited by the number of tributes. Tribute ships and merchant ships can be traded at any time. This matter should not be publicized. The city shipping department will let it go." Hu Wei. The third condition is given, free trade.

Tribute ships and merchant ships from Japan, North Korea, Champa and other countries need special approval from the imperial court to call at Daming Ships. Only ships from Daming can pass freely with their ship certificates.

With the transformation of Ryukyu into prefectures and counties, Ryukyu tribute ships and merchant ships are equivalent to Ming ships. North Korea has begged countless times, but Daming just refuses to let go.

Each of these three conditions is more favorable than the other. Hu Wei believes that Lord Shouyang and North Korea have no reason to refuse.

Daming has a large population and powerful national power, and now it is Daming who has seized Jeju Island, and North Korea dare not even give a fart, nor can it take it back.

But Daming has its own national conditions, and its high moral disadvantages have brought a lot of inconvenience. Daming hastily invaded and occupied the land of the country that will not be expropriated, and the righteousness is at a disadvantage.

Hu Wei himself couldn't convince himself to plunder by force, let alone convince the people of the world that North Korea had never been disrespectful, and Ming's innocent conquest was an immoral act.

As the minister of the Ministry of Rites, the three conditions put forward by Hu Wei are not unreasonable. Even when the Spring and Autumn Period was judged, it cannot be said that the Ming Dynasty treated North Korea lightly.

Jiang Mengqing didn't answer right away, but stood up and discussed with Jin He in the side room for a while, before returning to the desk, Jiang Mengqing said solemnly: "One more thing, pay tribute to Gao Liji."

Who will benefit the most from paying tribute to Gao Liji?
Naturally, those high-ranking officials who occupy an assigned position in North Korea.

Hu Wei frowned. He suddenly realized that he had been with His Majesty for a long time, and it seemed that he might be influenced by His Majesty. His thoughts and worries were all about the Korean people, and his back was on the Korean people.

The three conditions he put forward are all for the long-term stability of North Korea.

However, the conditions proposed by North Korea are only for the self-interest of meat eaters.

This deviation in thinking angle made the old man Hu Wei a little dazed. He nodded and said, "This matter needs to be reported to His Majesty."

Hu Wei stood up and left the Huitong Hall. Standing on the street, watching the people of Ming Dynasty coming and going, Hu Wei had a feeling of a world away.

"Da Ming is so lucky, God bless Daming." Hu Wei said to himself, got in the car, and rushed to the martial arts hall.

After Hu Wei explained the conditions of North Korea, Zhu Qiyu put down the file in his hand full of doubts, and after thinking about the cause and effect, he frowned and asked: "Follow the old practice, send these Gao Liji to the palace."

"Tell Jiang Mengqing, I'm sure about the repayment."

"Isn't North Korea very interested in treating the Japanese and cultivating them?"

"The Japanese invasion is North Korea's number one military threat, and the cultivation of seeds involves North Korea's food security, which is a major national issue. They don't even ask?"

Hu Wei looked at His Majesty who was full of surprise, and just wanted to say that the thoughts and deeds of the North Korean monarchs and ministers are the norm, and the Ming Dynasty has also been like this in these years, and it is strange that His Majesty's way of doing things is for the world.

Why the Ming emperor was so wise depends entirely on his peers.
