Jinyi Night Walk

Chapter 530 The Way of a Gentleman

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu burned incense and knelt down, kneeling three times and kneeling nine times in a solemn and dignified manner, followed by Congta Gong and Samurai knelt down together, but there was a minister who was taller than the others and his movements were slow He raised a little, so that after everyone knelt down, he stood out like a chicken out of the crowd.Although he knelt down immediately, Xia Xun still noticed his hesitation at this moment.

Xia Xun saw that the man was pulled by a minister who was kneeling next to him, and then he knelt down reluctantly, and when he bowed his head, his cheeks tensed up, as if full of anger.This person is three steps behind Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and he is one of the seven most senior ministers among the ministers. There is no doubt that he should be one of the most powerful ministers under Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. Xia Xun carefully looked at him several times Eyes, remember his appearance.

Seeing that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was very respectful, Zheng He's expression became serious. He took out the imperial decree, took three steps forward solemnly, walked up to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and read aloud: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the edict said: Between them, the land is so vast that it cannot be counted. The ancient sages managed the territory, and those who paid tribute, paid labor, knew etiquette, and reached the Dalun of monarchs, ministers, fathers and sons, they were called China.

But outside of China, if there are kings who can seek righteousness, it is not a bad idea not to enter.If there is no other, so it leads the world, and both return to the good way.

The Japanese king of Zier, with morality and righteousness in his heart, cherished the sincerity of loving the king, and sent envoys to court across the waves, and returned to Buliu.

Japan is known as the country of poetry and books, and it is often in Lianxin.The state affairs of the third army are Yin, and there is no time to ask questions.Today, the king can admire etiquette, and wants to be the enemy of the country. He is not devoted to the way of the monarch and his ministers.Now send envoy Yang Xu and Zheng He to Japan, and give crowns, clothes, gold and silver, porcelain, calligraphy and painting, etc., and allow Japan to pay a tribute every ten years. Up to 200 principal and deputy envoys can trade in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Alas!Heaven has impermanence, only respect is cherishing.The name impermanence is good but loyalty is Sui.The joint capital is Jiangdong, and the king is the closest to overseas countries.Wang Qi is united with his heart, doing his best with his heart, thinking respectfully and obediently, so as to be loyal to Da Lun.Don't allow the escape, don't indulge in adultery.If you regard Japan as a country of loyalty and righteousness, it can be named for eternity.Wang Qi respects it to benefit his descendants.Therefore, this is an imperial edict, suitable for personal care. "

After Zheng He announced the decree, Yoshimitsu Ashikaga raised his hands to receive the decree, received the decree to thank him, and stood up after saluting.Xia Xun, who had been gazing coldly at the reactions of the princes and ministers of the Wu family behind Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, lightly touched Zheng He with his shoulder, took a step forward and bowed long: "Duke Da Ranfu, I have seen the king!"

When Zheng He was touched by Xia Xun, he understood, hurriedly and tacitly took a step forward, announced his identity, and bowed down.Just now the two were proclaiming the decree on behalf of the emperor and accepting the gift on behalf of the emperor. Now the decree has been announced. The other party is the king of Japan personally appointed by Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty. His status is one level higher than theirs, so he naturally wants to see him as a courtier.

When Ashikaga Yoshimitsu saw the respectful expressions of the two, he was startled for a moment, and then his face showed sincere joy. He quickly stepped forward, helped them up, and said repeatedly: "You two angels, you are welcome. The angels are coming, cross the sea Riding on the waves, the boat and the car were tiring all the way, it was really hard work. Daoyi was overjoyed to hear that the angels were coming, so he came here to welcome the two angels back to the capital personally, and invited the two angels to board the car!"

The three made a noise and gave way to each other for a long time. In the end, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's guard of honor walked in front, followed by Xia Xun and Zheng He's car drivers. The two guards of honor joined together as a team and continued to walk forward.Many officials and military families who were a little bit upset saw that the envoys of the Ming Dynasty were also very respectful to their generals, and their expressions eased a lot.

After a while, Zai Tianyang sneaked back into Xia Xun and Zheng He's car. In the car, the two were sitting side by side, talking in a low voice. As soon as He Tianyang came in, Xian Xun stopped. , asked: "What's the matter?"

He Tianyang said: "Duke, I have found that many Japanese ministers are very dissatisfied with their general who conquered barbarians bowing their knees to the two envoys, and the officials accompanying the Ministry of Rites are also very dissatisfied with the Duke and Eunuch Zheng's courtesies to the Japanese king. I think, I need to remind Duke Guo and Eunuch Zheng, such and such, you are not pleasing inside and outside, why bother to come here. We are a kingdom of heaven, and they are rushing to curry favor with our shabby settlers. Your lord should be more arrogant and domineering. That's right, so as not to make noise from those in the Ministry of Rituals, it can also shock them!"

Xia Xun shook his head and said, "Don't think so, tell me. If anyone of our people dares to show off and do unnecessary things to arouse the resentment of the Japanese, once the country's public finds out, they will be severely punished." No loan!"

He Tianyang was here to encourage Xia Xun, but he was startled when he received such an order. Although he agreed, his expression was not convinced.

Xia Xunyu said earnestly: "Don't underestimate anyone, especially potential enemies. The sea is tolerant, tolerance is great, and you must be good at learning from others, that is the real way to win. Blindly arrogant and arrogant, you can't see clearly The merits and strengths of others, then failure may soon come."

He Tianyang scratched his head, but still didn't quite understand. Xia Xun smiled and said, "That's right. As you can see, there are many people in Japan who are dissatisfied with their king's courtesy. In fact, if you are Why is their attitude so incomprehensible? Could it be that your country is small, and you will be completely convinced if your king is the emperor?"

This time, He Tianyang really fell into deep thought, as if he wanted to understand something.

Xia Xun said: "Remember, we are not here for alms. We are here to obtain the actual benefits we want. This is the foundation. Respect for others will not lower your worth, and you will be blindly arrogant. , will make people really look down upon, arrogant and arrogant, and cannot win the respect and obedience from the heart of others. In Japan, some people admire my Chinese culture, and some people resent bowing their heads to the Chinese dynasty. What should we do at this time? Do something stupid , to push those who admire and respect my heavenly dynasty to the side of those who are hostile to us?"

He Tianyang nodded, but still said unwillingly: "But...then Ashikaga Yoshimitsu may not be sincerely obedient, don't you think it would be good for him to be a minister to our Daming?"

Xia Xun said: "This is obedience! What do you think is obedience, asking him to be unconditionally obedient and loyal? If it were you, would you do this? Don't say that he is a Japanese, even if he is a Ming person, if he goes far away Overseas self-reliant king, will you still treat me with respect, fear, respect, and obedience under the condition of no benefit? Don't talk about overseas ministers. The sage Meng said, "The king treats his ministers like brothers and feet", and the ministers treat the king like his heart; If you treat your ministers like dogs and horses, then your ministers will treat your ruler like a countryman; if your ruler treats your ministers like dirt, then your ministers will treat your ruler like an enemy. If the people in the country are like this, what do you want from the king of a foreign country?"

He Tianyang was born as a pirate and was not as respectful and loyal to the court as a person who studied since childhood. These words hit his mind: "I will do things for you because you treat me well, otherwise why don't you care about what you say and do?" I will be a loyal minister even if I die?" So he couldn't help nodding frequently.

Xia Xun said: "A truly honorable and courteous person is a gentleman who treats anyone who is respectful and humble to you, even if he is as poor as a beggar, and treats him like a beggar! Otherwise, with those who have some spare money at home, What's the difference between a second-generation ancestor who flaunts dominance in front of others, and a dandy?"

He Tianyang nodded happily and said: "If the Duke said so, he will understand the humble position. Arrogant and arrogant, is that self-deprecation?"

Xia Xun said with a smile: "It's almost like we are here to do things and not to show off! Those who only know about arrogance and arrogance are fools who don't understand farts! So, tell our people to give me all their arrogance Concentrate, they don't know how to restrain, I will clean them up!"

He Tianyang clasped his fists together: "Obey, I will pass on the Duke's order immediately!"

He Tianyang went out in a hurry, Xia Xun turned to Zheng He and said: "It seems that not only I, Ming, have many ministers who have objections to whether to open sea trade with Japan. There are also many ministers in Japan who are unwilling to win at the price of bowing their knees. Take the trade with Daming."

Zheng He nodded, and said: "Back to the past, there is nothing wrong with what the Duke did. At this time, we should give him enough support for Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who is close to my Ming Dynasty, and attack those who are hostile to our Celestial Dynasty. It’s not about handing over others, pushing Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to the side of those who are hostile to me! Besides, respecting others is not something to be ashamed of, the Duke of the country acts honestly and kindly, he is a real gentleman!”

Xia Xun smiled. He didn't want to be a gentleman for a while. His ultimate goal was to achieve free and equal trade. This free and equal trade means that everyone can earn money based on their own ability, with less adulteration. Political Factors.It is impossible to completely separate political factors from international trade. Even in modern society, economic and trade relations must serve politics in a timely manner, and this phenomenon will never disappear.

Therefore, there is no need to criticize Ming’s “political” trade for nothing. International trade serves politics to a certain extent. The actual interests and political reputation are two different things.

Some countries indirectly control other countries through trade and influence their policies, and we often pay for a false name regardless of investment, so what will happen in the end?Tightening their belts, they have wronged their own people and want to provide financial assistance, but shyly refuse to intervene and control them. On the one hand, they benefit from it, and on the other hand, they pretend to be gentlemen. In the end, they raise a group of white-eyed wolves, and they want to turn their backs. Just turn your face, your false name can become the other party's means to blackmail you at any time, how stupid.

But these are not things that can be reversed from the root of thought with a few words. To achieve this step, a long process of natural fermentation and maturity is required. Zheng He will not understand it now, and Xia Xun does not expect a few words He can persuade Zheng He, let alone think that convincing Zheng He can change anything. Now he only needs Zheng He, the deputy envoy, to fully support him.

Xia Xun paused, and then said: "The seven people behind Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, if I'm not mistaken, are the three in charge and four in charge. They are the seven most powerful daimyos under Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and some of them treat me very well." Quite hostile. Ordinary Japanese people are hostile to us. The problem is, as Ashikaga Yoshimitsu’s most trusted and trusted ministers, they should be in step with Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. Even if they disagree in their hearts, they should not show it in public. What do you think it means if a man does this and sings against his lord in public?"

Zheng He hesitated, "What does the Duke mean?"

Xia Xun rubbed his chin and smiled sinisterly: "I'll find out the identity of this person first, and if I use it well, I can stir up unrest in their homes and dogs. This will be of great help to us, hehe!"

Zheng He was dumbfounded when he heard this: "Didn't the Duke just say..." Is this a true gentleman who acts with kindness?The contrast is too great! "
