Rebirth of Zhu Di's son
Chapter 212: Deposing the King and Shocking Overseas
Chapter 212: Deposing the King and Shocking Overseas
Temple of Heaven.
The forbidden courtyard behind the mountain.
Inside the Zen room.
After listening to Zhu Di's troubles, Monk Daoyan dropped a black chess piece in his left hand and stroked his beard with his right hand: "This move of the envoys is clearly to protect Wang Jinghong from His Majesty. It can be seen that Wang Jinghong's influence overseas is not small!"
"Actually, I also know that Wang Jinghong has nothing serious to do, but he should not protect Ya Lie. I am afraid that people's hearts will be unstable."
Zhu Di pressed a white chess piece, and then found that if he made a few more moves, it would be a draw, so he said impatiently: "It's a draw again, no more games. Young Master, come with me for a walk."
After a while.
The two of them came to the pavilion in the yard one after another.
Monk Daoyan fiddled with the sandalwood beads in his left hand and stroked his beard with his right hand: "The envoys protect King Jinghong, and they have their own reasons. First, the Ming Dynasty fleet has indeed benefited all countries, and second, he is worried that His Majesty has changed the envoys and therefore changed national policies. In order not to damage their interests, we had to come up with this strategy."
"I went to sea for the purpose of strengthening the country and enriching the people, and creating harmony with friendly countries."
Zhu Di said helplessly: "But now it's causing quite a stir."
"Your Majesty, please calm down. This situation is a test that the Ming Dynasty must go through for its grace and power. If it is not handled well, the achievements of opening the sea will probably be lost."
Monk Dao Yan comforted him: "On the other hand, if it is done well, the opening of the sea in the Ming Dynasty will open up a new world from now on."
Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "Gao Xu suggested that I detain Yalie in the Ming Dynasty, and then select a sage from the royal family of the Ceylon Mountain King to be the Ceylon Mountain King. What do you think of this strategy, young master?"
Monk Dao Yan's eyes lit up and he asked in surprise: "The prince really said that?"
"This is natural, I keep my word!"
Zhu Di didn't quite understand Monk Dao Yan's surprise, and couldn't help but ask: "Why did the Young Master react like this?"
Monk Daoyan looked happy and said, "I would like to congratulate Your Majesty!"
Zhu Di swept Mobei and pacified the Western Regions. Monk Dao Yan had already congratulated these two great events.
The old monk even praised Zhu Di without hesitation for his achievements in conquering the Western Ocean, pacifying the Western Regions, and conquering Mobei, surpassing Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, when Zhu Di saw Dao Yan's happy face, he asked even more strangely: "What exactly do you want to say, Master?"
"The strategy proposed by the prince contains the way of kingship and dominance. It is really the best strategy to deal with the matter of Yalie and Mount Ceylon!"
Monk Dao Yan explained: "Compared to the Ming Dynasty, Mount Ceylon is naturally a small country overseas. But its country was able to gather [-] troops in just a few days. It even marched across the Peacock Sea for many years, plundering merchant ships without even a single blow. Defeated. Now I have two thousand soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, defeated its army, captured its capital, and captured its king."
"If we follow the crown prince's policy, we will depose the old king and establish a new king. The act of deposing and establishing is a tyranny, and the succession of prosperity and destruction is the king's way. Isn't this the use of kings and tyrants at the same time?"
As Zhu Di listened, undisguised joy appeared on his face, and he subconsciously stroked his beard and said, "I didn't expect that in just a few years, Gao Xu could grow to such an extent that he could actually use the art of overlord. "
The next day.
early morning.
Fengtian Temple.
"Come on, read out the edict of the Western Regions of the counties!"
Zhu Di sat on the golden dragon chair, waved his hand and said loudly.
Two ceremony officers, one on the left and one on the right, walked out from the east and west corner doors respectively, bowed and walked quickly to the middle of the main hall, where His Majesty Dan was.
Zheng Ci, the Minister of Rites, bowed out of the queue, holding a thick bright yellow edict in his hand, came between the two etiquette officials, and began to read out the edict, which was several meters long.
"I only serve the emperor's plan, abide by the constitution, promote it to the end, hope for the happiness of the world, keep peace forever, and make all things prosperous. I work hard day and night, and I dare not slack off. I look up to the Emperor Taizu Gao Emperor If you live in a world of peace, you will be far away from others."
"The rebels suddenly became evil, killed King Lihan, and invaded the territory of the Ming Dynasty. They were stupid and fierce, and accumulated evil like a mountain. The world could not tolerate it, and the gods and men were angry. I had no choice but to raise an army to attack and punish the people. It will rise and fall and continue to perish.”
"He ordered the commander-in-chief of the army to conquer the West. General Xining Hou Song Sheng and others led an army of 20 to attack them. They went deep into the adversity. The Huanhuan Tiger Brigade was as powerful as thunder and the murderers of the industry were as powerful as decay. The 300 million people were defeated in a moment. After all, the country's order of four thousand miles is all leveled. The officials, elders, and other people in the country are called Shamechaqian royal family and the descendants are all killed by sudden thieves and have no inheritance. It is also called that the Western Regions were originally Chinese counties and counties, and they have become corrupted by barbarian customs. , and in the years to come, we are now clearing away the filth, and hope that the county and the people will be restored and restored."
"In consideration of the public sentiment, I have established the Beiting Capital Command and Envoy Department, the Beiting and other departments to accept the Proclamation Envoy Department, the Beiting and other places to appoint the Criminal Procuratorate and Prosecution Department, the Anxi Capital Command and Envoy Department, and the Anxi and other departments to take charge of The Provincial Government Envoy Department, the Criminal Prosecution and Propaganda Department of Anxi and other places, the Puchang Du Command and Envoy Department, and the Puchang and other departments inherited the Proclamation and Administrative Affairs Department, the Penal Prosecution and Propaganda Department of Puchang and other places, and the military and civilian Yamen, and established officials and divisions. To clear up the enchanting atmosphere of Haigang and reform the old customs of Xia State, all matters related to cooperation are listed below."
"The north of the Tianshan Mountains is under the jurisdiction of Beiting, which has the four prefectures of Tingzhou, Yili, Hanhai, and Jinman. The south of the Tianshan Mountains is under the jurisdiction of Anxi, and has the four prefectures of Qiuci, Shule, Yutian, and Suiye. Yuanguan The West Qiwei, Turpan, and Luob areas are under the jurisdiction of Puchang, and there are four prefectures: Turpan, Hami, Loulan, and Anding."
Puchang Sea was called Puchang Sea from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, also known as Yanze, Laolan Sea, Zize, Furi Sea, and Linhai. It was formed by the confluence of Congling River and Yutian River. It was the main east-west transportation route at that time. .
The Chinese civilization could call it a sea, which shows how vast the water area was back then.
"Hanshu Biography of the Western Regions": "The river flows in the north, joins the Congling River, and flows into the Puchang Sea in the east."
It can be seen that here was once a vast expanse of blue waves, with water birds singing in harmony, and the shores covered with orchids and lush greenery.
To the southwest of Puchanghai is Loulan Kingdom.
During the Han Dynasty, Loulan prospered due to the Silk Road. Countless merchants from the East and the West stayed here and transferred goods.
Driven by trade and taxation, Loulan grew rapidly. Its wealthy city and location as a key transportation hub made it the focus of competition between the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty.
However, starting from the Wuhu Rebellion at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Silk Trade Road was basically abolished due to wars. The Central Plains dynasty could not protect itself, let alone the distant Western Regions.
Since then, Loulan or Shanshan has no longer appeared frequently in history books. It can only be seen from sporadic records that Shanshan has always maintained tribute to the Central Plains regime.
Later, during the Northern Wei Dynasty, Rouran, Northern Wei and affiliated tribes fought repeatedly in the northwest, and Shanshan as a country finally declined and even died.
Zheng Ci, the Minister of Rites, swallowed his saliva and continued to read the edict.
"Yili Wang Shami Chagan was killed by the traitor Hu Dauda. He committed an unfavorable fate. It is appropriate to give Mi as a gift to comfort his ghost. If his descendants and clans are harmed by sudden thieves, it is appropriate to give him an official. Come by name. I heard that the descendants of Shami Chagan were all killed by the sudden thieves and the ancestral rituals were abolished. It is appropriate for a minister to build a temple and repair the tombs in the temple. Each of the [-] households will provide sacrificial urns to the people."
"The officials, soldiers and civilians of the three provinces were driven to death by the thieves. It is pitiable to be exposed. They will be buried immediately. The officials of the three provinces, counties and counties are all Shamicha Qian's old man. They have no choice but to be threatened by the thieves. When the edict is issued, all those who are in office will Those who serve are still the same as before."
"However, the people have been immersed in foreign customs for a long time. It is appropriate to set up officials who can also govern and teach according to Chinese etiquette and law. Suddenly the thieves became harsh in government and tortured the people. Now they are all eliminated and the imperial decree is announced to bring peace to the people."
"There are people who are connected to guard the camps at various passes in the three provinces, and those who have fled outside the territory will be disbanded on the day the edict is issued. Their people have been suffering from deserters and bandits for a long time. It is appropriate for the officials to provide good care to them so that they can live in peace and not lose their homes. Their officials, soldiers and people Anyone who has been harmed by a sudden thief, a tattooed disciple, or a family member who has been exiled cannot find his place, and anyone who should have been harmed will be released to their original place and resume their business on the day when the edict is issued. There will be a department in their place. Even if they set off, they will not be allowed to stay. They are imprisoned. Those who are imprisoned will be released immediately."
"In the three provinces, for those who are senior and virtuous, the officials will treat them with courtesy. As well as those who are widowed, widowed and lonely, we will set up almshouses to care for them. If there are talented and virtuous people who can be used, the officials will treat them with courtesy. When I get to Beijing, I will use my talents locally to discuss them."
"The three provinces are bordered by the Timurid Kingdom, the Northern Yuan Dynasty and other places. It is advisable for each of them to guard their borders and not invade the territory. Soldiers and civilians are also not allowed to pass through the territory privately. Violators will be punished according to the law. How can you show your strength in the drama? As you wish, since the original evil has been eliminated and there are actually many people, sympathize with it and spread it, treat it with all benevolence, and govern the peace of Yongle. Announcement at home and abroad, and the envoys will know about it." Zheng Ci finished reading, and then another ceremony official bowed and walked away Come over and hand him a new edict.
So, he continued to read.
"Edict to reward the meritorious officers and soldiers of the Western Regions, and posthumously confer the posthumous title of the former governor, Tongzhi Pingxiang Hou Zhang Yu, in order to quell the chaos and conquer the difficulties, push the sincere military minister to advance to the right column of Ronglu, the Duke of Guoping County, and posthumously confer the title of Zhongxian. The posthumous title of the governor, Qian Shihuozhen, is Defeating chaos and overcoming difficulties, promoting sincerity and proclaiming force, the military ministers specially entered the state of Zhu, the great minister of Ronglu, and joined the Marquis of Anxiang. He was given the posthumous title of Zhuangyi, and Yin Yizi was appointed as the capital to direct the affairs."
"The commander-in-chief of the old capital, Tan Yuan, was posthumously appointed as the commander-in-chief of the guards in order to quell the chaos and overcome the difficulties. He was a military official who entered the country of Chong'an, Ronglu Dafu Zhuguo. He was given the posthumous title of Zhuangjie and Yin Yizi was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the guards."
"The Duke of Cao, Li Jinglong, was conferred the title of Military Minister to quell chaos and overcome difficulties, to promote sincerity and declare power. He was specially invited to the Guanglu doctor, the crown prince of Zuozhu, and was rewarded with 3000 taels of silver, [-] pieces of silk and satin, and [-] gold notes."
"The Marquis Qiufu of Qi Township was promoted to the title of Duke of Qi County, the Marquis of Ningyuan Township He Fu was promoted to the Marquis of Ningyuan County, and the Marquis of Tingbo Zhu Neng was promoted to the Marquis of the County. Each was rewarded with 2000 taels of silver yuan, [-] pieces of silk and satin, and [-] yuan of gold notes... ( A thousand words are omitted here)…”
After Zheng Ci finished reading, Zhu Di said loudly: "Announce the presence of kings and envoys from overseas countries."
The official then repeated Zhu Di's words several times.
Then all the envoys from Southeast Asia and Western countries went to the palace in order.
"Bring Ariel Kunel up again!"
When Yalie, whose hands were tied, was brought to the back of the palace by the royal guards, Zhu Di looked at the people in the palace and said: "Every king, envoys from various countries, and ministers, you can all speak frankly today about how to deal with Yalie Kuner. I I am discussing this with you to seek justice.”
"Your Majesty, Yalie raised troops to kill people in order to seize property. He committed a heinous crime. Foreign minister Nurita suggested that he be killed."
The envoy of Kezhi State bowed his head and spoke in less fluent Chinese.
"Nurita, you are just a coward as timid as a mouse. You are willing to be the lackey of the Ming Dynasty, but I am not willing! You juniors do not strengthen yourself and are willing to be the vassals of the Ming Dynasty. People have no spine and the country has no dignity. You still have Why do you have the shame to stand here and point fingers?"
Ariel shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty, since the founding of the Yongle Kingdom, the Ming Dynasty has made extensive connections with countries all over the world. The Ming Dynasty fleet has even traveled far and wide to overseas countries, broadcasting the benevolence of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to the world. All parties overseas have treated each other with courtesy, but only There is Ariel Kunel who sneaked into the fleet and killed our officers and soldiers. This person has committed a heinous crime and must be beheaded."
Censor Guizhan bowed his head and walked out of the procession.
Of course, Zhu Di knew that kings of overseas countries could not be killed easily. He just wanted to use the opportunity to clarify the crimes of Ariel Kunel, and then grant amnesty, giving him both kindness and power.
Xu Huizu, Duke of Wei, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, [-] officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were killed. This is an insult to all the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and an offense to our country. I believe that Yalie Kuner should not only be killed, but also Xi Lanshan State should also compensate me for the losses suffered by the Ming Dynasty fleet."
"Ariel, what you do will be justified."
Zhu Di looked at Yalie and said in a deep voice.
Yalie said boldly: "What nonsense, these people are just vassals of the Ming Dynasty, just relying on others! If I were the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, they would be willing to be my lackeys. After all, the law of the jungle and the power of the strong are the truth in the world. .”
Zhu Di asked: "I ask you, is beef prohibited in Mount Ceylon and is it strictly prohibited to kill cattle?"
"Yes, this is the Buddhist law and national law of this country." Ariel answered truthfully.
"I know only a little about the etiquette and customs of Mount Ceylon, and I am just trying to do whatever I want. Please don't laugh at me."
Zhu Di looked at the ministers, said something first, and then stared at Yalie and said: "Yale, your country respects cows as gods because you sincerely do good and respect them throughout your life. Cows are docile in nature, work hard and work hard for people all their lives. Those who take it are just clear water and green grass.”
Then, he stood up and said loudly: "Cows and all living beings are all created by heaven. If people slaughter living creatures at will based on their own strength, what is the difference between them and animals? Therefore, the powerful cannot bully the weak! I sent a fleet to patrol the sea. , I am exemplifying a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, who wiped out pirates on the way and restored peace along the coast. He followed the road of friendship, treated all nations with courtesy, treated favorably with favors, did not covet an inch of other countries' land, and did not take away other countries' private property. This was to eliminate evil and promote good. Maintain the order of the Celestial Empire with peace and common prosperity and development in the world!"
At this moment, Yalie Kuner was shocked by Zhu Di's mind.
"You are the king of Mount Ceylon, and you should benefit the people of your country. You should not let your soldiers go out to plunder other people's property and do evil everywhere. You yourself should not be an unkind and unjust criminal, worshiping sacred cows for your country. Disdainful to benevolence.”
Zhu Di said loudly: "The Ming Dynasty repays evil with kindness. I hereby declare that the subjects of Mount Ceylon will decide the life and death of Ariel. I will choose a sage from the royal family of Mount Ceylon to be the new king. "
As soon as he said these words, all the overseas countries present were greatly shocked.
Two thousand soldiers of the Ming Dynasty defeated tens of thousands of soldiers in Mount Ceylon, captured its capital, and captured its king. Now the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty deposed the old king of Mount Ceylon and established a new king. He really showed his unparalleled magnanimity and power.
"You really don't want to kill me?" Yalie said in great surprise.
"Not only will I not kill you, I will also send someone to take you back to your country. Come, take Ariel down to the palace."
Zhu Di waved his hand.
"Your Majesty, Yalie is not ignorant of his guilt. He just thought that he was detained in the Ming Dynasty and would die or live, so he uttered arrogant words in order to die quickly and be dignified. Your Majesty has the world in mind, benefits the world, repays evil with kindness, and is boundless in generosity!"
When Ariel said this, he knelt down and said with utmost respect: "The sinner Ariel Kunel, please your majesty to behead me, and use my head to warn all countries in the world! I am convinced and will never complain!"
"Yale, I will give you a way to live without execution, which reflects the benevolence of God and fulfills the good destiny of Buddha and all sentient beings. I let you go back, hoping that you can learn from it. You invaded our great Ming Ship. The team thing is a thing of the past, but it shouldn’t disappear.”
Zhu Di walked down from Danbi, came to Yalie, and said slowly: "I want to erect a heroic monument in Mount Ceylon. From now on, I will send people to Mount Ceylon every year to commemorate these fallen heroes with your country in March. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty you killed. We must use our friendship from generation to generation to comfort the souls of these soldiers! This heroic monument should be preserved for eternity and remembered by future generations!"
"The sinner Ariel Kunel must change his mind and change his ways. When he returns home, he will tell his descendants that Mount Ceylon is willing to be friends with the Ming Dynasty forever and be its vassal forever!"
Ariel touched his head to the ground and bowed respectfully.
"We are willing to be friends with the Ming Dynasty forever and be our ministers forever!"
Infected by the conversation between Ya Lie and Zhu Di, other overseas countries bowed and saluted and spoke in Chinese.
"Wang Jinghong?" Zhu Di said loudly.
Wang Jinghong bowed and came out of the queue: "The humble minister is here."
"Reinstate your official position, prepare the ship, and send Ariel and the envoys from various countries back to the country for me!"
Zhu Di ordered.
"According to the order." Wang Jinghong accepted the order.
Zhu Di looked at the kings and envoys of the states in the hall and said majesticly: "You are all my guests of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not polite to come and go. I will send Wang Jinghong to the West again to visit all the states to exchange trade and share peace!" "
"Long Live Long Live Your Majesty!"
The kings and envoys of all the states said in unison.

Temple of Heaven.
The forbidden courtyard behind the mountain.

After listening to Zhu Di's troubles, Monk Daoyan dropped a black chess piece in his left hand and stroked his beard with his right hand: "This move of the envoys is clearly to protect Wang Jinghong from His Majesty. It can be seen that Wang Jinghong's influence overseas is not small!"

Monk Dao Yan comforted him: "On the other hand, if it is done well, the opening of the sea in the Ming Dynasty will open up a new world from now on."
Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "Gao Xu suggested that I detain Yalie in the Ming Dynasty, and then select a sage from the royal family of the Ceylon Mountain King to be the Ceylon Mountain King. What do you think of this strategy, young master?"
Monk Dao Yan's eyes lit up and he asked in surprise: "The prince really said that?"
"This is natural, I keep my word!"
Zhu Di didn't quite understand Monk Dao Yan's surprise, and couldn't help but ask: "Why did the Young Master react like this?"
Monk Daoyan looked happy and said, "I would like to congratulate Your Majesty!"
Zhu Di swept Mobei and pacified the Western Regions. Monk Dao Yan had already congratulated these two great events.
The old monk even praised Zhu Di without hesitation for his achievements in conquering the Western Ocean, pacifying the Western Regions, and conquering Mobei, surpassing Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, when Zhu Di saw Dao Yan's happy face, he asked even more strangely: "What exactly do you want to say, Master?"

Zhu Di sat on the golden dragon chair, waved his hand and said loudly.

To clear up the enchanting atmosphere of Haigang and reform the old customs of Xia State, all matters related to cooperation are listed below."
"The north of the Tianshan Mountains is under the jurisdiction of Beiting, which has the four prefectures of Tingzhou, Yili, Hanhai, and Jinman. The south of the Tianshan Mountains is under the jurisdiction of Anxi, and has the four prefectures of Qiuci, Shule, Yutian, and Suiye.

After Zheng Ci finished reading, Zhu Di said loudly: "Announce the presence of kings and envoys from overseas countries."
The official then repeated Zhu Di's words several times.
Then all the envoys from Southeast Asia and Western countries went to the palace in order.
"Bring Ariel Kunel up again!"
When Yalie, whose hands were tied, was brought to the back of the palace by the royal guards, Zhu Di looked at the people in the palace and said: "Every king, envoys from various countries, and ministers, you can all speak frankly today about how to deal with Yalie Kuner. I I am discussing this with you to seek justice.”
"Your Majesty, Yalie raised troops to kill people in order to seize property. He committed a heinous crime. Foreign minister Nurita suggested that he be killed."
The envoy of Kezhi State bowed his head and spoke in less fluent Chinese.
"Nurita, you are just a coward as timid as a mouse. You are willing to be the lackey of the Ming Dynasty, but I am not willing! You juniors do not strengthen yourself and are willing to be the vassals of the Ming Dynasty. People have no spine and the country has no dignity. You still have Why do you have the shame to stand here and point fingers?"
Ariel shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty, since the founding of the Yongle Kingdom, the Ming Dynasty has made extensive connections with countries all over the world. The Ming Dynasty fleet has even traveled far and wide to overseas countries, broadcasting the benevolence of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to the world. All parties overseas have treated each other with courtesy, but only There is Ariel Kunel who sneaked into the fleet and killed our officers and soldiers. This person has committed a heinous crime and must be beheaded."
Censor Guizhan bowed his head and walked out of the procession.
Of course, Zhu Di knew that kings of overseas countries could not be killed easily. He just wanted to use the opportunity to clarify the crimes of Ariel Kunel, and then grant amnesty, giving him both kindness and power.
Xu Huizu, Duke of Wei, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, [-] officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were killed. This is an insult to all the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and an offense to our country. I believe that Yalie Kuner should not only be killed, but also Xi Lanshan State should also compensate me for the losses suffered by the Ming Dynasty fleet."
"Ariel, what you do will be justified."
Zhu Di looked at Yalie and said in a deep voice.
Yalie said boldly: "What nonsense, these people are just vassals of the Ming Dynasty, just relying on others! If I were the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, they would be willing to be my lackeys. After all, the law of the jungle and the power of the strong are the truth in the world. .”
Zhu Di asked: "I ask you, is beef prohibited in Mount Ceylon and is it strictly prohibited to kill cattle?"
"Yes, this is the Buddhist law and national law of this country." Ariel answered truthfully.
"I know only a little about the etiquette and customs of Mount Ceylon, and I am just trying to do whatever I want. Please don't laugh at me."
Zhu Di looked at the ministers, said something first, and then stared at Yalie and said: "Yale, your country respects cows as gods because you sincerely do good and respect them throughout your life. Cows are docile in nature, work hard and work hard for people all their lives. Those who take it are just clear water and green grass.”
Then, he stood up and said loudly: "Cows and all living beings are all created by heaven. If people slaughter living creatures at will based on their own strength, what is the difference between them and animals? Therefore, the powerful cannot bully the weak! I sent a fleet to patrol the sea. , I am exemplifying a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, who wiped out pirates on the way and restored peace along the coast. He followed the road of friendship, treated all nations with courtesy, treated favorably with favors, did not covet an inch of other countries' land, and did not take away other countries' private property. This was to eliminate evil and promote good. Maintain the order of the Celestial Empire with peace and common prosperity and development in the world!"
At this moment, Yalie Kuner was shocked by Zhu Di's mind.
"You are the king of Mount Ceylon, and you should benefit the people of your country. You should not let your soldiers go out to plunder other people's property and do evil everywhere. You yourself should not be an unkind and unjust criminal, worshiping sacred cows for your country. Disdainful to benevolence.”
Zhu Di said loudly: "The Ming Dynasty repays evil with kindness. I hereby declare that the subjects of Mount Ceylon will decide the life and death of Ariel. I will choose a sage from the royal family of Mount Ceylon to be the new king. "
As soon as he said these words, all the overseas countries present were greatly shocked.
Two thousand soldiers of the Ming Dynasty defeated tens of thousands of soldiers in Mount Ceylon, captured its capital, and captured its king. Now the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty deposed the old king of Mount Ceylon and established a new king. He really showed his unparalleled magnanimity and power.
"You really don't want to kill me?" Yalie said in great surprise.
"Not only will I not kill you, I will also send someone to take you back to your country. Come, take Ariel down to the palace."
Zhu Di waved his hand.
"Your Majesty, Yalie is not ignorant of his guilt. He just thought that he was detained in the Ming Dynasty and would die or live, so he uttered arrogant words in order to die quickly and be dignified. Your Majesty has the world in mind, benefits the world, repays evil with kindness, and is boundless in generosity!"
When Ariel said this, he knelt down and said with utmost respect: "The sinner Ariel Kunel, please your majesty to behead me, and use my head to warn all countries in the world! I am convinced and will never complain!"
"Yale, I will give you a way to live without execution, which reflects the benevolence of God and fulfills the good destiny of Buddha and all sentient beings. I let you go back, hoping that you can learn from it. You invaded our great Ming Ship. The team thing is a thing of the past, but it shouldn’t disappear.”
Zhu Di walked down from Danbi, came to Yalie, and said slowly: "I want to erect a heroic monument in Mount Ceylon. From now on, I will send people to Mount Ceylon every year to commemorate these fallen heroes with your country in March. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty you killed. We must use our friendship from generation to generation to comfort the souls of these soldiers! This heroic monument should be preserved for eternity and remembered by future generations!"
"The sinner Ariel Kunel must change his mind and change his ways. When he returns home, he will tell his descendants that Mount Ceylon is willing to be friends with the Ming Dynasty forever and be its vassal forever!"
Ariel touched his head to the ground and bowed respectfully.
"We are willing to be friends with the Ming Dynasty forever and be our ministers forever!"
Infected by the conversation between Ya Lie and Zhu Di, other overseas countries bowed and saluted and spoke in Chinese.
"Wang Jinghong?" Zhu Di said loudly.
Wang Jinghong bowed and came out of the queue: "The humble minister is here."
"Reinstate your official position, prepare the ship, and send Ariel and the envoys from various countries back to the country for me!"
Zhu Di ordered.
"According to the order." Wang Jinghong accepted the order.
Zhu Di looked at the kings and envoys of the states in the hall and said majesticly: "You are all my guests of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not polite to come and go. I will send Wang Jinghong to the West again to visit all the states to exchange trade and share peace!" "
"Long Live Long Live Your Majesty!"
The kings and envoys of all the states said in unison.
