Jinyi Night Walk

Chapter 351 Three adults The Jin'an River in Fuzhou is a moat dug out during the Song Dynasty. This river winds eastward and leads directly to the sea. Merchant ships from the Nanyang area sail directly to the Leyou Bridge Wharf under the city of Fuzhou via this river. Landing and unloading here, customs inspection and cooperation.

However, on this day, a large ship came from afar, caught in many large and small merchant ships, and after checking the shore, it was neither closed nor closed. Buckle it down, and at this time the guests came down from the shore, and unexpectedly they took out a letter of credence.

The people from the Shibo Department opened it and saw that the content of the national letter was written in Chinese characters in the colorful pattern on the top. The emperor made a pilgrimage to offer gifts and so on.

Seeing that the other party's identities were the prince and concubine of a foreign country, who represented the country's dynasty to pay homage to the emperor of his own country, the Secretary of Shibo did not dare to be negligent, and immediately welcomed them into the post house, checked and accepted the goods they brought for the pilgrimage to the emperor, and pulled out the list Afterwards, the flying cavalry reported to the capital, and at the same time arranged for the prince, concubine and their servants of Shanhou Kingdom to live there.

As a small foreign country, Shanhou Kingdom's tributes are relatively rich, including ten pieces of painted fabrics, a pair of South China Sea agarwood screens, five paintings, a pair of mother-of-pearl five-clawed dragon lacquer bottles, and ten purple gold ingots. .

The prince at the back of the mountain is called He Tianyang, and the princess is called Pingnu. The clothes of the two are quite Tang-style, but they have been changed a lot, and they are very close to Daming costumes.In addition, they had more than ten men and women accompanying them, only one of them was an accompanying official named Xun Xia, who served as the envoy of Shanhou Guocheng Zhilang and Yiwei.

According to the Ryukyu official system, the first-rank crowns are woven with royal colors, and the second-rank purple hats are honored officials; the third-rank is from the beginning to the seventh-rank, and they wear yellow hats to go to court; eighth- and ninth-rank officials are combined with miscellaneous positions, and they always look like red hats; only minor officials Wearing a green hat is not allowed for common people.Therefore, Cheng Zhilang Xunxia, ​​who has a big beard and a naive look, wears a green robe and a yellow hat. Except for him, all the other minor officials wear blue robes and green hats.

Eunuch?Of course not.

Xia Xun was the man who thanked him, not to mention whether he would be recognized more easily if he shaved his beard, just letting him pretend to be a father-in-law in a sissy voice would not be happy to thank him.

On the way to Shuangyu, Xie Xie's menstruation was over, and the two of them completed the first time in the real sense on the swaying sea waves.As for the two ladies Xia Xun, Peng Ziqi's first time was in the heavy snow, under flat mountains and rivers; Snow, really is a romantic, such a beautiful landscape.

Xie Xie knows the majesty of her own man, Xia Xun is vulnerable under her cunning tongue; Sensitively, if you don't use words to help, you will have to beg Ziqi to rescue you in the end, so that you can lie there softly like mud to catch your breath.She loves and fears her man's majesty and domineering style. When the two are newlyweds, and they are inseparable, how can she let her man pretend to be a eunuch? She doesn't even think about it.

After Jinling received the Fuzhou memorial, they were very happy.

Jinan was besieged for three months. Zhu Di took the initiative to withdraw his troops out of strategic considerations. The siege of Jinan was resolved, but was declared a great victory by the court.A group of scholars and literati splashed ink, praised heroes, praised achievements, and boasted a lot of flowers.

In fact, it was just that the siege of Jinan was resolved, and it was unilaterally announced by the court as a big victory when the opponent retreated voluntarily.According to their descriptions, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court who had been guarding the city until the other side took the initiative to retreat were extremely wise and mighty, while the side that was actively advancing and retreating around the outside was in a state of embarrassment and was devastated. It suffered major setbacks and lost countless troops. .

This kind of propaganda has indeed played a great role in winning the morale of the people for the court, because the common people know too little news after all, and they can only listen to what the court says.As a result, the imperial court tasted the sweetness, and the great victory battle report began to be continuously announced to the world.

The imperial court recovered Yucheng, the imperial court recovered the plains, the imperial court recovered Dezhou, the imperial court recovered Cangzhou, and the imperial court recovered Hejian...

In short, wherever Zhu Di's soldiers and horses withdrew, they were taken back by the court. Don't worry about whether they gave up on their own initiative. The newspaper in the mansion said that the court took back. Take it back, naturally..., right?

After the imperial court noticed the sweetness of mastering the mouthpiece, it deliberately strengthened the publicity in this regard. At this time, another foreign envoy came to make a pilgrimage. Do you think this is the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty, De Bei Si Hai, Wei Jia Yunei, and the barbarians obeyed? What about the sign?

In fact, the first foreign envoys to arrive were not Xia Xun and the Xijia gang, but genuine envoys from other countries. These people had just arrived in Hangzhou Bay and were waiting to enter Beijing for a pilgrimage.They are envoys sent by the Japanese shogunate, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

Before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Adachi family occupied Kyoto, deposed Emperor Go-Daigo, supported Emperor Guangming who had only a name, and called himself General Zhengyi, and established the shogunate in Muromachi, Kyoto.After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the Ashikaga shogunate paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty. However, because the Ashikaga shogunate failed to suppress the Japanese pirates, and later Japanese ronin got involved in Hu Weiyong's rebellion case, Zhu Yuanzhang Longyan was furious and made many tributes to Japan. Restrictions are punishments.

Now the Ashikaga shogunate just heard the news of the death of Emperor Hongwu. When he heard that the stubborn old man who was not easy to talk about died, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was very happy, and quickly sent another envoy. This time, it is not considered public. Because they came this time only to inquire about the intention of the imperial court, if the imperial court intends to accept it, they will formally send a national envoy to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty again in exchange for the opening and preferential treatment of the tributary trade.

After all, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu in Japan can now be regarded as a big man who coerces the emperor to order the princes. He did not first find out what the Ming Dynasty meant, but he rashly sent envoys to pay tribute. It would be a shame to send them back if they were not accepted at all.

Zhu Yunqi had just heard that the Japanese envoy had landed in Hangzhou Bay and asked for an audience with a heavy gift, and then received a report from Fuzhou that there was a country in the Ryukyu Islands, Jiumu Tianyan, and now the prince and concubine were sent to Beijing for a pilgrimage. Really happy.This is the first time since he proclaimed himself emperor that foreign envoys have come to the pilgrimage, and there are two of them, especially the Shanhou Kingdom, which not only sent such a grand prince, but also a foreign country that was never known by Ming Dynasty before. Now that he has come to submit, isn't this the martial art of his Zhu Yunwen to open up the territory?

Zhu Yunwen immediately issued an edict, ordering Hangzhou and Fuzhou to immediately arrange vehicles to transport the envoys of the two countries to Beijing, and asked them to arrange the itinerary. The special envoys of the two countries entered Nanjing at the same time and made a show of it. Isn't this also a kind of excellent publicity?

Thus, under the arrangement of Daming, the Japanese envoys and the Shanhou envoys headed towards Nanjing at the same time and arrived at Nanjing city at the same time.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In the eastern suburbs of Nanjing, a line of guards of honor, three adults.

Shangshu Ruchang, servant Meng Fusheng, imperial envoy Huang Zhen.

This is all the people who greeted the envoys of the two countries.

In fact, if only the Japanese envoys come, there is no need for such a grand welcoming ceremony. They have been honored by the "Mountain Back Country".

It was the first time that the "Shanhou Kingdom" paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and the envoy who came to the pilgrimage was a prince, and when Zhu Yunqi urgently needed to publicize the country's prestige, the standard of etiquette was naturally raised.

The envoys from the two countries had not yet arrived, but Tan Ma reported that the two missions were still ten miles away from the Changting Pavilion, and the accompanying personnel were pressing their steps, constantly adjusting their pace under the notice of the outpost personnel who were constantly going back and forth, to ensure that they arrived at the same time.

Ru Chang is not the official secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he is Zhu Yunqi's temporary arrest of a strong man and a part-time job.Because the imperial court suppressed the rebellion in the north a few days ago, it made a mess of corruption, so the time of the scientific research in Qiuwei was postponed for a while. Now that the news of the "Jinan Great Victory" came back, the court was relieved, and the scientific research was completed. At the official start, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites was presiding over the scientific examination and couldn't escape, so only a servant came. Zhu Yunqi worried that the standard was not high enough, so he spared another Minister Ru.

The three adults are all literati, and they can talk to each other very well. They sat under the long pavilion, waiting for the envoys from the two countries to arrive, while reciting poems and composing Fu, enjoying themselves.

The three of them were chatting when suddenly a big yellow dog ran across the field in front of him. When Ru saw it, he became anxious and pointed at the indistinct big dog running in the weeds, stroking Xu smiled and said, "Take a look, is it a wolf or a dog?"

Meng Shilang turned his head to look into the grass, but Huang Zhen, the royal envoy beside him, was already laughing heartily. He could already hear Ru Shangshu's homonym mocking Meng Fusheng: "Is it a wolf or a dog? Is the servant a dog!"

Hearing Huang Zhen laughing, Meng Shilang immediately understood. He was both funny and angry. After thinking about it for a while, he sneered back with a smile: "The tail of a wolf is hard, and the tail of a dog is short, so... the lower official thought, just look at the tail. Then you can know: hanging down is a wolf, standing up is a dog!"

This Shangshu is homophonic to Shangshu, and Huang Zhen was overjoyed when he heard it, he just clapped his hands and laughed.

"This old guy, did you pick it up for a laugh?"

Ru Chang glared at Huang Zhen and said calmly: "Cough, it seems that we can also tell the difference. Wolves, they eat meat, but dogs are different. When they meet meat, they eat meat, and when they meet shit, they eat shit!"

As soon as these words were uttered, Meng Shilang also burst into laughter, and said, "Okay, what a royal envoy eats shit, hahaha..."

When Huang Zhen heard this, he became embarrassed immediately, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of any witty words to tease them. At this moment, he saw a team appearing on each of the two forked roads ahead. Standing up, he said solemnly: "Hey, two adults, the envoys of Japan, Shanhou, and the two countries have arrived!"! ~!
