Chapter 636
"My lords of the Shang Kingdom, this time I am envoys to Daming under the order of the monarch. I really have something hard to say. I am here to ask for help from Daming!"

In the Wuying Hall, the six ministers and ministers gathered in the Wuying Hall. They came here to meet the envoys of the Japanese Nu Kingdom under the emperor's order.

Zhu Yunxi did not participate.

After the ceremony, the friendly "meeting" began.

It's just that the scene that should have been amicable and show the country's dignity was destroyed by the impetuous Kameyama.

At this time, Guishan, the envoy of the Wonu Kingdom, left his seat, stood up and said to everyone: "My lords, please allow me to report that in our Wonu Kingdom, one queen, Guishan, and one lineage were the orthodox dynasty.

Later, the inheritance of the Hou Xiaosong lineage of the Northern Dynasty gradually controlled the situation in the court, resulting in the fall of power, and then gradually divided into the Northern and Southern Dynasties. "

"However, our Southern Dynasties have always mastered the three major artifacts, namely the Kusanagi Sword, the Eight-foot Qiong Gouyu, and the Eight-foot Mirror. This is also a symbol of imperial power..."

With a sad look on his face, Guishan's voice contained both anger and shame of being deceived,

Gritting his teeth, he said: "Later, there was an ambitious person in power in the Northern Dynasty, that is, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. He killed people by insidious means, making others dare not resist because of his lust.
Later, in the ninth year of Yuanzhong, oh...that is, in the 25th year of Ming Hongwu, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu used deception to abduct the three great artifacts of our Southern Dynasty..."

Speaking of sadness, Hou Guishan couldn't help crying.

A handful of bitter tears, crying pear blossoms with rain, I see sorrow and pity, it can really arouse sympathy!

All the ministers present were stunned for a moment, although they also suspected that he was acting, but if he could perform the trick to this extent, he could also win sympathy!

It's like when a person walks into a theater, knowing that the performance is fake, but still can't help but be moved!
Tie Xuan, who was sitting on the chair, saw him crying sobbingly, he really admired him!

Seeing that he was almost crying, he reminded him: "Your Excellency's words are sincere, and I was shocked when I heard them. I don't think there is such a wolfish and ambitious person in the Wonu Kingdom, but I don't know how he used the conspiracy?"

"My lord, please listen to the report..."

Kameyama wiped away his tears, and then told how Ashikaga Yoshimitsu did evil in the Japanese slave country, how he harmed the people, how he oppressed the royal family of the Southern Dynasty, etc.
Anyway, what is inside and outside the words, is to say that the Northern Dynasty is cruel and innocent, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who thinks you are a good power, is all angry with the gods!
Xiaosong, the queen of the Northern Dynasty royal family, is described as a faint king who is even more evil than King Zhou!

Hearing his words, Tie Xuan felt a lot of emotion, and said extremely indignantly: "I don't want such a rebellious person to exist in the country of Japanese slaves, it is really against the law of heaven!"

Then he asked Guishan: "Since the Northern Dynasty is so dark, the people are so miserable that they are complaining and usurping the royal power of your Southern Dynasty. Are you going to sit idly by and ignore such rebellious officials and thieves?"

The other courtiers also looked at Guishan, wanting to hear his answer.

Qi Tai, Bao Zhao, Jing Qing, Lian Zining, and Minister of War Ru Yuan who were present naturally knew what was going on, but they didn't point it out.

"My lord, such a jackal, a person who harms the country and the people, how can we, as the orthodox dynasty, just sit idly by!"

Standing in the middle of the main hall, Guishan said with a determined face: "Since the fall of last year, our Southern Dynasty has led the people to resist the cruel persecution of the Northern Dynasty, and led the people to fight against them in order to restore peace to the world...

Because many people couldn't stand their cruelty, they joined the rebel army one after another, regardless of their own lives..."

Ren Hengtai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, was a little surprised when he heard the words: "You mean you have already started a war with the Northern Dynasty?"

"Yes, the war has been going on for more than two years!"

Suddenly, Guishan's face collapsed, and the expression that I'm going to do despite thousands of people disappeared immediately, and his face turned into a miserable and sad look...

"My lords, the rebellion is in power, and it coerces the army and civilians, so it is extremely powerful. Although our Southern Dynasty resists it, it will not last long..."

He bowed his hands and bowed to everyone: "After more than two years of fighting, I don't know how many thousands of loyal people have been killed or injured, and I don't know how many families have been destroyed..."

"The war has consumed us enormously. We have run out of food, and our weapons have been interrupted... I implore the Ming Dynasty to uphold justice for us, give us a helping hand, and eradicate the rebellious officials and thieves! Please, my lords!"

With a "plop", Guishan fell to his knees on the ground,

Immediately afterwards, "Boom, boom, boom" shook their heads at all the courtiers!
Although the Wanu country is small, these courtiers sometimes don't take it seriously, but the envoys represent the face and dignity of a country after all!
Guishan knelt and kowtowed in public, which represented the country of Japanese slaves!
If the Emperor Ming was here, then that's all. As the emperor of the suzerain country, he could accept it calmly.

But not the courtiers!

So everyone stood up one after another, turned sideways, and did not accept his courtesy.

Guishan kowtowed and cried bitterly: "My lords, I implore His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, I beg all my lords, save our Japanese slave country, save the people of the next country..."

Standing in the hall, Wang Zhong gave a look like a little eunuch.

The two young eunuchs immediately stepped forward and helped Guishan up.

Ren Hengtai, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, said: "As an envoy of the Japanese slave country, you don't need to perform such a big ceremony like us, and we can't afford it. Please sit down and talk."

After the courtiers of Ming Dynasty were seated, Guishan sat down sadly, just sitting on the corner of the stool...

……

"Weekly Weekly Weekly! Shocking news from the Wonu Kingdom!"

"Weekly Report, Weekly Report, what is the so-called impoverished appearance of the envoy of the Japanese slave country, shocking news!"

"The envoys of the Japanese Nu Kingdom made such appalling actions, it's unbelievable!"

On the street, every boy hung a cloth bag around his neck, which contained the Ming Weekly, and sold it at the market.

Because the profit of the weekly newspaper is meager after all, those half-grown children who have neither strength nor work become newspaper boys.
Whenever Jinyiwei prints a new newspaper, they will be hired to sell it, and they will be paid according to how much they sell.

Because the amount of newspapers sold is closely related to their own remuneration, these half-grown children have learned to play tricks and know how to speak to attract the attention of others, so as to sell newspapers.

"Come on, give me a weekly newspaper!"

Attracted by their cries, a scholar took out a few copper coins from his purse and handed them to the newsboy.

After taking a newspaper from him, he immediately read it on the street.

"Newspaper seller, bring me a copy too!"

"And me, give me a newspaper, what happened to the envoy of the Japanese slave country..."

A few copper coins are not expensive, so even ordinary people can afford them,

So it didn't take long for the newspapers in the newsboy's cloth bag to be sold out.

A vegetable seller leaned over to the scholar and looked at the newspaper. The scholar also noticed him peeking aside, but he didn't stop him.

The vegetable seller looked left and right, and couldn't help scratching his head...he couldn't read!
But a few days ago, he saw the embarrassment of the Japanese envoy mission.

And the newspapers printed their appearances!
That's enough topic!

Also earned enough gimmicks!

The people are talking about this these days!

I can't even figure out what happened to the Envoy Mission!
Seeing that the answer was revealed today, it was in the newspaper, but he couldn't read!
Scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously for a while, feeling impatient, he paced back and forth beside the scholar, hesitating again and again,

Gritting his teeth for the last time, he asked, "That... Mr. Xiucai, what did the newspaper say? What happened to the Envoy of the Japanese Nu Kingdom?"

Seeing him asking this question, the people next to him couldn't help coming over.

As ordinary people, most of them cannot read a few words and cannot read an article at all.

There are also those who are stingy with money, do not want to buy newspapers but are curious.

The scholar said very generously: "A few days ago, when the Japanese envoys came to the capital, they were all sallow and emaciated, dressed in tatters, like disaster victims.

Today's newspaper wrote exactly why! "

Not to whet everyone's appetites, the scholar said directly to everyone's expectant eyes: "This is because the Japanese slave country is fighting for more than two years, and the food and property are scarce.

Neither the common people nor the soldiers can fill their stomachs, so it looks like what we saw a few days ago..."

Some people were surprised and said: "Are you fighting? No wonder! But they are too miserable, right? Soldiers still have nothing to eat?"

Someone next to him replied: "You don't understand this, if you can't survive, who wants to go to the battlefield, it will kill your head!"

"That's right! Only the victims who are about to starve to death will go all out. Back then, the Supreme Emperor led us Han people to drive away the barbarians..."

Another man watched them talking and quickly stopped them, "What are you yelling about! Hurry up and listen to Mr. Xiucai tell us!"

Then he said politely to the scholar: "At that time, I heard what the newspaper seller said about the Hall of Martial Arts, and what kind of actions those envoys made..."

Hearing this, the scholar unfolded the newspaper in his hand and spread it out in front of everyone, only to see a picture printed on the newspaper,

It depicts a person kneeling and kowtowing in the hall. Judging from his clothes, he is the envoy of the Japanese Nu Kingdom. A group of people on the opposite side hurriedly left the seat to avoid it, and everyone could recognize them as officials of the Ming Dynasty.

"Oh, what's going on? The envoys of the Japanese slave kingdom kneeled and kowtowed to the gentlemen of the court?" The people were amazed!
"That's right, look at the painting on this picture, isn't it the Japanese slave country if you kneel down..."

The others were also very shocked, even if they didn't understand court etiquette, they knew what this kneeling represented!
Everyone looked at the scholar, eager to listen to his explanation.

The scholar said: "That's right, the person kneeling on the ground is the envoy of the Japanese slave country, and he is the official envoy, named Guishan. He is representing the Japanese slave country to ask Ming to send troops to help them and wipe out their domestic rebellion..."

"Hahaha! Dog thieves and Japanese pirates! There is even today!"

A man gritted his teeth and said: "Those Japanese pirates are all animals! They killed so many of our people. It turns out that their country is not peaceful. Good job!"

Another person said: "This Japanese slave country has knelt down, so it's not easy for our Ming Dynasty not to send troops?"

"If you want me to say that Daming should send troops! It would be better to kill more thieves!"

"Who says it's not, the kneeling of the Wa Nu Kingdom has thrown all the dignity and face on the ground, and the court can't justify it if it doesn't send troops..."

"Who says it's not! It's not considered a juggler. I kowtow in front of you, and then stab six holes in my body. It's bloody... Can you give me a copper coin?"

Another person said: "That's what you say, but who will do something that is not beneficial! Sending troops to waste people's money, the court is not stupid!"

The scholar said with a smile: "Everyone, there is another section here!"

The voice was raised by three points, emphasizing that there was also three points of arrogance in it: "Wanu Kingdom asked Daming to send troops, and was willing to donate their Hokkaido to Daming, um... It is said that the size is about the same as Fujian..."

"Great! Daming really wants to send troops, I will be the first to go! I must kill a few Japanese pirates!"

"I'm going too! tnnd! Such an opportunity is once in a lifetime! It would be a shock to miss it!"

As soon as I heard about the benefits, it immediately attracted enthusiastic approval from the people!
Not only can they go to their native land to kill Japanese pirates, but also get a lot of land...

It is both fun and beneficial!
How can there be such a good thing in the world!
……

"Absurd! Absurd! Absurd!"

At this time, in the study of a mansion in Chengdu, Fang Xiaoru was holding the Ming Weekly in his hand, his face flushed with anger!

He said contemptuously: "Such absurd things have never been heard before! The envoys of a dignified country have no sense of shame and bow down to the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty. This is simply the greatest joke in the world."

"Even if it is to ask Daming to send troops, it shouldn't be so absurd. Is the etiquette of their Japanese slave country so unbearable? It really lacks education..."

"Come on, prepare the car! I'm going to meet His Highness the King of Shu!"

Fang Xiaoru's wife hurriedly grabbed him and advised him not to act rashly.
But he was not willing to listen, so he arrived at the Shu Palace in a carriage.

"Mr. Fang, I don't know what happened when you came here in a hurry?"

Zhu Chun, king of Shu, saw Fang Xiaoru walking into the hall in a hurry, so he immediately stepped forward and asked.

"I have seen Your Highness!"

Fang Xiaoru cupped his hands and saluted, and before Zhu Chun could speak, he handed the newspaper in front of him, "His Royal Highness, have you read the court's weekly newspaper?"

Seeing him like this, and talking about government affairs again, Zhu Chun's heart ached!
Cautiously replied: "Xiao Wang just read it briefly, sir... Sit down and talk, come here, make a pot of the tribute tea bestowed by His Majesty, let sir taste it..."

Resisting the impatience in his heart, Fang Xiaoru was invited by Zhu Chun to sit down on the chair. As soon as he sat down, he said: "Your Highness, the fact that the Wa Nu Kingdom bowed down to the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty is inappropriate. The Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple should do something about it." Respond to..."

"My Ming Dynasty is a big country, a country of etiquette. They don't understand etiquette, but we have to accept it, otherwise it will make people laugh..."

"Uh, sir, what he said is..."

Zhu Chun had no choice but to deal with it. Seeing the maidservant bring the tea, she hurriedly asked Fang Xiaoru to drink it.

Fang Xiaoru borrowed the teacup and put it on the tea table aside, frowning tightly,

With worry on his face, he said: "Your Highness, let's put aside the etiquette in advance, there is an important matter that must be reported immediately!"
