Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1368 Entering the dynasty

  After Liu Jian's voice fell, Emperor Hongzhi nodded.

  Northern Province is a fulcrum.

   This is the same as the Franji people meddling in the West, with the help of Luzon and Java. Without these two fulcrums, they would be nothing in the West.

  Franji people have been operating these two places for a long time, and it is not easy to pull them out.

   Instead of focusing on Luzon, Java, or the Golden Continent, Daming might as well stab directly into the heart of the Kingdom of Spain.

  Being kind to the mission is to buy people's hearts.

  Sending large-scale envoys to return visits is to quickly strengthen the presence of Ming Dynasty in the northern province.

Emperor Hongzhi rejoiced: "Yeah, now that the Franji people have no time to look around, the tulips have caused them a lot of trouble. The Northern Province should be firmly in their hands, and they should take advantage of the conflict between the Northern Province and the Spaniards to firmly control it." Northern Province."

   After finishing speaking, Emperor Hongzhi paused: "Where are these envoys now, can the Ministry of Rites welcome them?"

  Minister of Rites Zhang Sheng said: "Your Majesty, as soon as they arrived at the port, they were picked up by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

  Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

  Damn it...

   There is a feeling of wanting something bad.

Fang Jifan coughed: "Your Majesty, this is my son's idea. His Royal Highness is proficient in various languages. This visiting group has just arrived. If it is received by ordinary people, it will be stingy in terms of specifications. But if it is a high-level reception, it is not a good idea to entertain them." The hosts do not understand each other's language, and it is difficult to understand each other's intentions. Even if there is an interpreter, the words will inevitably appear strange after the translation. His Royal Highness is of high status, and he is proficient in the languages ​​​​of Franz and other countries. Up and down, feel the sincerity of my Daming."

  Emperor Hongzhi heaved a sigh of relief: "The crown prince is capable, but... he spoke a little waywardly, and I'm a little worried, hey... how long has he been entertaining."

   "It's been two or three days." Fang Jifan said.

  Emperor Hongzhi was not from Liaodong, so he couldn't say something like this.

   But his mood is probably over.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Let them come to have an audience tomorrow, and I will see you in person. The Ministry of Rites...here, prepare an interpreter who is proficient in Francophone. I... am a little worried."

  Liu Jian and others can understand the mood of Emperor Hongzhi very well.

   Just now everyone was very excited.

   Think about the prince's sloppy look. Everyone knows that His Highness the prince has real skills, but this guy doesn't talk through his brain.

   It’s impossible to tell, these Franji people have already lost their morality.

  Okay, let’s break the jar.

  Minister of Rites Zhang Sheng looked even more distraught.

  Finally, it was the turn of the Ministry of Rites to appear on the stage. There was a chance to make meritorious service.

  Zhang Sheng sighed: "Your Majesty, otherwise, I will go in person..."

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: "That's all, that's all. Tomorrow... I will see them in person." I have something to do with Ming Dynasty, so I will definitely...have a heart of hatred, Jifan, what do you think."

  Fang Jifan smiled awkwardly: "Thinking about it, it won't be so serious. Now it is they who ask Daming, not Daming who asks the northern province. Your Majesty, in front of interests, they can distinguish the importance."

  Even so, Emperor Hongzhi seemed worried.

  …

   Early the next morning.

  Zhu Houzhao entered the palace by order.

  He went with Fang Jifan.

  Fang Jifan looked at the happy Zhu Houzhao, and couldn't help saying: "His Royal Highness, how are those visiting groups doing?"

  Zhu Houzhao said mysteriously: "This... I won't tell you."

  Fang Jifan gritted his teeth with hatred: "Your Highness, there will be nothing wrong. Your Highness, this minister is in front of His Majesty, and I used the head as a security for Your Highness."

  Zhu Houzhao blinked: "Whose head."

   "Uh..." Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao's neck.

   "You uneasy and kind fellow." Zhu Houzhao wanted to pinch Fang Jifan's neck.

  Fang Jifan coughed: "Pay attention to your image, I am a decent person."

  The two fought and fought until the Meridian Gate, and the officials were already used to these two guys, you strangled his neck, and he bit each other's arm.

  So...all of them had blank faces, as if they were used to it.

  More than a hundred envoys have also arrived.

   Hundreds of officials entered the dynasty.

  Fang Jifan was quite disturbed.

  In fact, Emperor Hongzhi was even more disturbed.

   This is related to the national policy. Emperor Hongzhi already has the heart of the world. For this national policy, the court has gone through countless discussions and many preparations.

   With this northern province, you can get twice the result with half the effort.

  Emperor Hongzhi had no reason not to worry.

   Seeing the envoys entering the court one after another, wearing strange costumes, Emperor Hongzhi calmed down. Seeing these envoys, all of them had two arms, legs and feet, and their limbs were intact, he felt relieved for Wei Wei.

  Hundred officials bowed down and saluted.

  These envoys were still submissive, and they followed suit and saluted.

  Emperor Hongzhi glanced at the interpreter recruited by the Ministry of Rites, the interpreter understood and chattered, and the envoys just got up.

  Emperor Hongzhi approached the case and said, "Prince."

  Zhu Houzhao looked energetic: "My son is here."

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "This time you are entertaining the Frangji envoy?"

  Zhu Houzhao said: "Reporting to my father, it was the Duke of Qi who sent his ministers to go."

  Fang Jifan stood in the crowd: "..."

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan as expected.

  Fang Jifan laughed at Emperor Hongzhi.

  Emperor Hongzhi pulled his face, and said: "The envoys...how is the hospitality?"

  Zhu Houzhao said solemnly: "Since my ministers are here in person, they will naturally feel at home."

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't believe it at all. He knew what his son was like. He was impatient and had a bad temper. Sometimes he dared to say anything in front of him, let alone these envoys?

  Emperor Hongzhi coughed and glanced at the interpreter.

  The translator said to the envoys: "The emperor of Ming Dynasty was overjoyed when he heard that you have entered the court. There has never been any dispute between the northern province and Ming Dynasty. His Majesty the Emperor has always treated friends from afar with courtesy."

  The envoys were silent for a moment, barely understanding the meaning of the interpreter.

  Naqile stepped forward, bent down and bowed to Emperor Hongzhi, saying: "It is really an honor to receive the hospitality of His Majesty the Emperor."

  After the translation by the general interpreter.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said: "Qing and others came from the northern province. I think they have suffered a lot from the exhaustion of boats and cars along the way. Your family should have a good rest in Daming. Today I came to ask questions, but I don't know. They treat me in Daming. What do you think?"

  The interpreter understood, and started to translate to Qi Le and others.
