Ministry of Rites.

The chief minister was confused and slumped on a recliner in the government office. Anyway, Shangshu Fangtang was promoted by his father, and the entire Ministry of Rites was angry with him and dared not speak out.

"You bastard! If Master Tao Kai were here, our etiquette department would never slack off like this!"

"Being a minister and a minister, I really don't know why Mr. Tao Kai resigned and went into seclusion!"

"Keep your voice down, don't let that dude hear it! This guy is the best at complaining!"

Hu Tu yawned. These days, he has received many benefits from foreign envoys.

If he had known earlier that the Lili Department was trying to make money like this, I'm afraid he wouldn't have stayed at home for so long.

In Hu Tu's view, the group of people Tao Kai left behind were all pedantic people.

The emperor has said that he is not allowed to covet people's money, but he has never said that he is not allowed to covet the money of foreign envoys!

He was confused that he was helping the Ming Dynasty fill the treasury. If the officials of the Ministry of Rites were like him, they wouldn't be so poor!

"Why is the head of the Ministry of Etiquette so confused?"

Armed with a embroidered spring knife and a flying fish suit, Jiang Gu stepped into the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, his eyes so bright that he was so frightened that all the officials temporarily forgot to answer the question.

"I wonder what your lord has to do with Hu Tu?"

Chen Ying, the Minister of Rites, bowed his hands in salute, his face as pale as a lake, which attracted Jiang Ying's attention.

"The Emperor wants me to take him away!"

"oh?"

Chen Ying pointed at Hu Tu and said with a smile: "Brother Hu, please go with Mr. Jiang."

Hu Tu was a little panicked at this time. He had already heard of Jin Yiwei's rules for handling people.

Only corrupt officials will not take it!

Those who are not traitors will not take it!

No one except cunning villains will take it!

Hutu was almost all over the place. If he wasn't flustered, who would be?

"I...my father is the prime minister..."

Jiang Wei's big hand pressed directly on his shoulder, "It doesn't matter even if your father is the Emperor!"

——

Above the court hall.

Ashikaga Yoshiken was dressed in the official uniform, and every time he stepped into the Fengtian Temple, his heart was filled with excitement.

How great would it be if this place were the palace of the great shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu?

Why was the Ming Dynasty able to occupy the Central Plains, while Japan had to live on several isolated islands?

"The humble minister Ashikaga Yoshiken comes to pay homage to His Majesty the Great Emperor!"

When it comes to etiquette, the Japanese can never be faulted.

"Plain body."

Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was cold. He had always looked down upon this country.

It is listed as a country not subject to conquest because I just feel that this place is indifferent and there is no need for conquest at all.

"Have you ever attacked Champa?"

Hearing this, Ashikaga Yoshiken rolled his eyes, looked at Chen Xiangming and others, and instantly understood the meaning.

It turned out that the envoys from the city came to the Ming Dynasty to complain. No wonder the emperor suddenly summoned them today.

"That's absolutely not the case."

Ashikaga Yoshiken always maintained a smile, bowed and saluted again: "Your Majesty, since we became the country of Ming Dynasty's children, I have always been cautious."

"The occupation of the city has nothing to do with our Japanese shogunate!"

Chen Xiangming was so angry that his fingers trembled and he yelled angrily: "The ones who attacked my city were clearly your Satsuma clan warriors! You still said that it had nothing to do with you!"

Ashikaga Yoshiken said calmly: "Those people are worthy of being called samurai? They are just a group of ronin pirates!"

"Could it be that pirates were plundering the city, and your occupation of the city will be blamed on our Japanese shogunate?"

"Because of things like this, when it comes to His Majesty the Great Emperor, are you jealous of my relationship with the Ming Dynasty?"

Ashikaga Yoshiken's eloquence is far beyond what Chen Xiangming and others can match.

The envoy who occupied the city was speechless for a moment. Ashikaga Yoshiken saw this and struck while the railway was hot: "His Majesty, the Emperor, is clear! We, the Japanese shogunate, are also doing our best to prohibit the plundering of Japanese pirates."

"It's a pity that there are always some fish that slip through the net and we can't catch them! This is what caused today's misunderstanding!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Great Emperor, we will never do anything to oppress other countries!"

Hu Weiyong raised the corners of his mouth. Ashikaga Yoshiken was so smart. This was the reason why he asked the emperor to summon this person.

"Oh? Brother Ashikaga, can you guarantee that those who looted the castle have nothing to do with your Japanese shogunate?"

Yue Lin dressed in official robes and stepped into Fengtian Hall.

Jiang Yu was sent to the gate of his palace and was arranged to catch Hu Tu. It could be said that he was very busy.

Fortunately, Yue Hanlin was familiar with the road. As the consort of the Ming Dynasty, he just returned to the princess's natal family.

"Master Yue?"

Ashikaga Yoshiken frowned and said: "Yes, those are the actions of ronin pirates and have nothing to do with my shogunate!"

Yue Lin gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "So, if the Ming Dynasty sends troops to clear them out, the Japanese shogunate will not stop them?"

this……

Hearing this, Ashikaga Yoshiken was a little confused, but he quickly smiled and said: "Master Yue, please take care of yourself. It just so happens that those Japanese pirates are giving my shogunate a big headache."

The only person in Japan who has confidence now is the navy.

In their eyes, the Ming Dynasty did not have a powerful naval force.

Instead, the sea became the last natural barrier to protect them.

"Your Majesty, I think it is very simple to resolve this matter."

Yue Lin bowed his hands and said in salute: "First, the envoy's request is to drive away the Japanese pirates and restore the territory."

"My Ming Dynasty can send the Chaohu navy there and help the Japanese shogunate clean up the country."

"Secondly, the envoys who occupied the city were innocently made things difficult for them, which insulted the majesty of our great dynasty."

"The officials involved will be punished directly."

Yue Lin glanced at Fang Tangming, then looked at Hu Weiyong again, with something strange in his eyes.

"The Ministry of Rites was able to receive foreign envoys very well before. Why did it deteriorate to this in just over a month?"

"I am impeaching Fang Tangming, the Minister of Rites, for neglecting his duties and bringing disgrace to our country. Please give me a clear warning from your majesty!"

When Fang Tangming heard this, he kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty! I know my fault! I know my fault! But the matter of the Ministry of Rites..."

Hu Weiyong glared at the other party, and Fang Tangming chose to shut up simply because his wife and children were still in Hu Weiyong's hands.

If he confesses nonsense, even if he survives, his wife and children will also be killed.

Yue Lin said calmly: "If you are driven by others, you can tell it. Your Majesty is fair and wise and will definitely make the decision for you!"

Yue Lin has already taken action to directly target Hu Weiyong. Instead of letting him make bigger mistakes, it is better to take this opportunity to drive him out of the court.

"This matter was all done by a certain person named Fang!"

Fang Tangming sighed and said: "Fang even instigated the head of the Ministry of Rites to be stupid and collect money from foreign envoys! Please punish the emperor!"

What a pity!

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed in his heart and missed another opportunity to attack Huaixi.

Fang Tangming took the initiative to abandon his car to protect the commander, which made the emperor more determined to eradicate Huaixi.

If such meritorious groups continue to exist, Zhu Biao's soft-heartedness may not necessarily kill them all.

What about the emperor who can be the queen? It is very likely that he will become the plaything of these nobles!

"Come here, take Fang Tangming away and kill him!"

"If you don't bring harm to your wife and children, we will not pursue your wife and children!"

"Do you know your guilt?"
