Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 115

Suddenly hearing the news that the Dongying messenger had arrived, both Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanzhen were greatly astonished, and the matter was not reported, so why could Zhu Zhanzhen know first.

Zhu Zhanzhen said slowly: "On the way here, I met the official who entered the palace to report, saying that the five envoys from Dongying had arrived outside the city gate, so I asked him to go back and order Guanglu Temple to receive them. "

The father and son looked at each other, which was even more wrong.

They didn't even receive the information about the landing, and they didn't issue a permit, so the embassy went outside the capital?This is not in line with diplomatic process, nor is it in line with diplomatic etiquette.

It stands to reason that these overseas embassies should send boats to inform the local government before they dock, and the government will send envoys to Beijing to report. Let the embassy dock first and enter the specially established congregation hall.

The [Hui Tong Pavilion] will be responsible for arranging the envoys to meet the emperor and other matters. The Ming Dynasty stipulated that foreign envoys should first learn etiquette when they visit the emperor, and only after they are familiar with the relevant etiquette can they meet the emperor.

After staying in the Huitong Hall, a famous greeting card will be issued, and then the emperor will choose a time and let them come to see him.

After the audience, the Huitong Museum had to take them on board and go to sea.

But this time, without seeing the famous post, without the local government's report, without the congregation to accompany the congregation, the Dongying envoys just arrived outside the Yingtian Mansion?
Both Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanchang noticed that something was wrong, which was completely inconsistent with diplomatic habits and diplomatic etiquette.

"Come here, let me arrest those who pretended to be the Dongying mission and put them in prison for strict trial."

Zhu Zhanyu was stunned. He didn't know much about diplomatic etiquette and didn't understand why.

This shows that although Zhu Zhanchang can sleep a lot in class, whether it is etiquette or knowledge, he still remembers a lot of things when he is awake by virtue of his unforgettable ability, and this second brother who pretends to work hard is in class On, the soul has long since wandered out.

"Father, wait." Zhu Zhanchang persuaded Zhu Gaochi.

"how?"

"Father, the matter has not yet been concluded, it's okay to take a look first, if something goes wrong, there must be demons. If these five people are pretending to be detectives, it will not be too late to arrest them. , all the way to the outside of Yingtian Mansion?"

Zhu Gaochi pondered for a while: "First order someone to bring them into the same hall, Zhan, you take someone to explore the bottom, and bring some good skills."

"Father, what's the matter." Zhu Zhanzhen was still a little confused.

Zhu Zhanzhen had to talk about what the five-member delegation did, which was unethical and not related to the regular visit. After speaking, Zhu Zhanzhen was shocked.

"Father, I'll go too."

Looking up and down Zhu Zhanzhen, Zhu Gaochi sighed: "Go, go with Zhanzhen, but remember that the two of you don't talk much, you only meet and receive as the grandson of the emperor, I will send two experienced veterans from Honglu Temple. go together."

……

At the entrance of the imperial city, two young masters of Honglu Temple were waiting in their coats, one of them was thin and not tall, and the other was much taller.

The thin little man stomped his feet to avoid cold feet: "Wang Feng, what do you think the Crown Prince asked us to accompany the two His Royal Highnesses this time?"

Wang Feng replied: "I don't know, the two Highnesses are now the auxiliary guardians of the country, so let go of your donkey temper, and don't act stubbornly in front of the two Highnesses."

"I Zhang Yu have a donkey temper, don't talk nonsense in front of Your Highness."

"Wait a minute, don't swear and keep your etiquette."

During the conversation between the two, the two grandsons who were sitting in the sedan chair came down.

"I have seen Second Highness, Fifth Highness."

"Two young masters, let's talk on the way."

After changing the carriage, Zhang Yu spoke first: "Second Highness Fifth Highness, I don't know what is going on with this reconciliation?"

Zhu Zhanchang told the story of the Dongying Mission, Zhang Yu and Wang Feng obviously looked wrong, Zhang Yu said directly, "Your Highness, the Dongying Mission does not know the etiquette, it is disrespecting Daming, and directly send troops to arrest it. ."

"My minister agrees."

Zhu Zhanchang said, "What the two Shaoqings said is very true, after we discussed with the prince yesterday, we wanted to directly arrest and go to prison, but we thought that the mission was impersonating?"

"Pretending? Why is the thief so daring." Zhang Yu was furious.

"Please be slow, Shaoqing, this time the Dongying mission does not obey the etiquette. If you dare to impersonate the thieves, let's find out their origins, and how to bypass the layers of barriers to come to our Yingtianfu city gate."

Wang Feng and Zhang Yu thought about it: "His Royal Highness said it is very true, if it is a fake, these people are really courageous."

"I don't know whether they are pretending or deliberately disobeying the etiquette. Just being able to avoid the eyes and ears and come to Yingtian Mansion is enough to be vigilant, so today I need more help from the two young ministers. The two of you are responsible for the meeting of foreign ministers. The etiquette is the most detailed, and when you wait, you can treat them as the envoys who have come to see them.

"Your Highness Shengming."

Seeing the fiery talk between Zhu Zhanchang and the two Shaoqings, Zhu Zhanzhen was not happy. He had no chance to speak at all. Everything was arranged by Zhu Zhanchang. What did he Zhu Zhanzhen do?What's the credit?
Not all Zhu Zhanchang can steal the limelight.

Zhu Zhanzhen thought for a while and said, "Two young ministers, you can test their origins in your words."

"Don't worry, your two Highnesses."

Outside the Huitong Hall, this is a place to receive foreign guests. Foreign guests who enter the Huitong Hall are not allowed to bring any weapons, and even any sharp objects will be confiscated.

In the morning, the Dongying embassy had just checked into the Huitong Hall. In the afternoon, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple and the two grandsons of Daming came here. This treatment was not even expected by the people in the Huitong Hall.

Before entering, Zhu Zhanchang instructed the guard Yang Song who followed him. Now Yang Song is almost his personal guard. He is good at martial arts and loyal to people. Every time he leaves the palace, Zhu Zhanchang asks him to be his guard.

"Wait for the six of you to observe carefully, and if there is something wrong, take action."

"Understood, Your Highness."

A few people stepped in, and five Dongying people came out to meet them. The leader was a young man, about 1.5 meters tall, but his face was mature.

"It's screeching, no melons..." The man said a piece of Dongying, and the man behind him came out to translate.

"Respected Second Highness, Fifth Highness, two Lord Shaoqing, this is Ashikaga Yoshikage, the younger brother of our Toyo General Ashikaga Yoshichi, who is greeting the two Highnesses just now."

Wang Feng nodded, he can speak Dongying.

Zhu Zhanchang stretched out his hand to signal the two Shaoqings of Honglu Temple to communicate with the Dongying people.

Zhang Yu then said: "Your Excellency is from Ashikaga, and we have heard the name of General Dongying a lot. Your father ended the split between the Northern and Southern Dynasties and completed the unification of the country. Tomorrow's official trade relationship, the two countries have been good-neighborly and friendly for many years, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also asked us to treat His Excellency Ashikaga Yoshinaka well."

After chatting for a while, the translator said: "Thanks to His Majesty the Great Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, General Ashikaga explained that this time, in addition to visiting, we also need to meet His Majesty the Great Emperor to present our country's baby sword ceremony Tai Guangshi."

After just one round of question and answer, the two Shaoqings of Honglu Temple looked at each other and knew that the other had a problem.

Tomorrow's official trade relationship between Dongying and Daqing is true, but it was not during the Hongwu period, but in the early years of Yongle, and there was an unrecognized Jianwen era in the middle.

Kanhe trade is also called "tribute trade". After the sea ban was implemented in the early Ming Dynasty, only foreign countries and the Ming court were allowed to conduct tributary trade with specified time and place.

Foreign merchant ships came to China with tributes and their own local products. After the Ming court received the tributes and purchased the goods, they returned the Chinese goods needed by foreign merchants in the form of "national gifts".

This is a very important matter for both countries. Even if Ashikaga is not clear as the general's younger brother, it is impossible not to know this as an accompanying envoy, because it is related to when to pay tribute. for what?I don't even know when I came to pay tribute to trade, so what do you want as an envoy?
The identities of this group of people are 100% problematic, and the accompanying envoys don't even know about such a major event.

The two young masters are experienced and do not panic: "Your Excellency Ashikaga Yoshio has worked hard on this trip, but I have not received the report from the coastal yamen, and I don't know where your Excellency docked."

Several people were obviously well prepared, and they responded fluently.

"Our boat ran aground near Zhoushan Island due to the wind and waves, and met a kind-hearted fisherman who took us to the shore, and then came all the way."

There are many loopholes, this is completely ignorant of the envoy's interview process, and it is too daring to pretend to be Dongying without doing a little homework.

I thought it would take some verbal confrontation to figure things out, but the other party obviously didn't understand anything, so there was no need to continue chatting for a few words, it was much easier than expected.

Wang Feng calmly walked to the side of the two His Royal Highnesses and lowered his voice: "This group of people should be fake, and they don't understand the process of national diplomacy at all. Maybe they are pirates or rogues. Your Highnesses will do it directly."

Zhu Zhanchang gave Yang Song a look, and while Zhang Yu was still communicating with Dongying's "embassy", since Yang Song and others surrounded a few people, in just a breath, a few guards would take them down .

The "Eastern Ying Mission" unloaded all the equipment before moving into the Huitong Hall. Yang Song and the others directly drew a knife to their necks and didn't even give them a chance to resist.

The translator of the "Eastern Ying Mission" was full of anger when he saw this sudden change: "Is this how Daming treats foreign guests? It's such a big country, and it's not charismatic."

Zhu Zhanchang and Zhu Zhanxun got up and ignored him, Zhang Yu yelled, "Where is the thief Xiaoxiao, you dare to pretend to be a mission."

"You wait for your blood to spit, trying to murder the missions of other countries."

Zhang Yu patted the man on the head: "You don't even know when the two countries will open to trade, yet you dare to pretend to be an envoy. In your Eastern language, Bagaya Road."

"That...that's my memory."

"What is the first step for the mission to dock?" Zhang Yu asked casually.

"I...I..." Obviously the man was afraid to answer wrongly, so he hesitated to say it.

"Report to the local officials, Baga Road." Zhang Yu said with a sneer.

"His Royal Highness will be sent to the prison for interrogation."

At this time, Yang Song saw the brand on the neck of the other envoy, pulled off his clothes and said, "Your Highness, this is the brand of the slaves of Dongying."
