Chapter 177

Very ethnic characteristics

It has exceeded 600,000 words. Celebrate yourself. Students who suspect that Xiaoyu will be within 1 million words or have no end can rest assured that Xiaoyu will work hard to achieve 2 million.

———

After being moved for a while, Xie Hong also calmed down. He was not a sentimental person at all. Since things had happened, regret or something was useless.

Besides, even if there is no such thing as today, the civil officials have similar attitudes towards him. If he has more debts, he will not care about more or less.

Those who achieve great things must first suffer their will. Xie Hong deeply understood this sentence. He believed that before realizing the ideal of revitalizing China, he had to do a higher technical work... that is, to act as a MT that attracts hatred!

There is no way, who made him have a halo of ridicule? Who made him form a group with Zhengde?

But it doesn't matter. Anyway, as long as Zhengde supports him, the civil officials will just hate him in their hearts. Xie Hong recovered his spirit and let his brother attract hatred in a high-profile manner and do things in a low-key manner.

"Sir Xie, have you slept well?"

Who is so poor? He asked, sleeping well... Xie Hong curled his lips and looked up. He recognized the person who spoke that he had seen Ma Yongcheng that day. The eunuch, one of the eight tigers, had a smile on his face, and his body was like a big shrimp. He was very respectful, even in front of Zhengde.

"It's Eunuch Ma, the Emperor summoned me in?"

"That's not the case. The court will talk about the envoy at the end." Ma Yongcheng shook his head and said, "It's the emperor who is afraid that you will be anxious to wait. The younger one knows a little about this matter, so let the younger one explain to you."

As we were chatting, Xie Hong nodded and understood.

There is a few people who have not seen anyone else, Xie Hong also knows almost everything about the North Korean envoys, so the two of them talked nonsense. After a while, Ma Yongcheng then carefully asked the topic: "Mr. Xie, I'll ask for a bold question. Is the gift given to North Korea in the carriage?"

"Yes." Xie Hong nodded.

"Sir Xie is sure?" Ma Yongcheng asked again. He did not have the confidence in Xie Hongke. Long lively Master's character also knew that Zhengde thought good things might not be really good. If he failed today, the consequences would be serious.

But Zhengde was full of confidence and he didn't dare to say much. He was not the one who was blind in Liu Jin. He clearly saw Lord Xie's momentum, but he always wanted to fight overestimate himself. It can be seen that Xie Hong was also relaxed and calm and did not take things seriously at all, so he couldn't help but worry.

"Eunuch Ma, don't worry." Xie Hong comforted casually, looked at the sky, and said, "This court meeting has been long enough. Is it usually the case?"

"Last year, the court meeting was not long, and the adults in the court occasionally had some disputes, but these days, the time has been long, and the ministers have put in their best efforts to go against the Emperor Long Sui." Ma Yongcheng sighed and said, "You have also seen that there are so many people just now, how long does it take for each person to say one sentence? Their words are still long..."

"That's right." Xie Hong was deeply touched by this. The ancients actually spoke similarly to later legal workers, but they first quoted classics. Later lawyers said directly: According to the articles of the "A certain law", it is just to make unprofessional people unable to understand it. Otherwise, how should they be called professionals?

"Actually, it's too soon. The little yellow gate just ran out to Xuanren..." Ma Yongcheng looked at the Taihe Gate and said.

"Oh?" Xie Hong also looked over and saw a few figures there. When the emperor summoned someone, he would not let you come from home. Naturally, he had prepared in advance and waited outside. Xie Hong himself was like this.

"Your Majesty has an edict: I promise that the Korean envoy Jin Xia loves him, and Li Zida will meet him!" Sure enough, as soon as the person was in office, an edict was issued in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the eunuchs and the Han generals sang together.

Two of the group came out and walked quickly towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony. They came at least once a year. The Korean envoys were not unfamiliar with the Forbidden City and the etiquette of the Ming court, and they were very familiar with each other.

He graciously sang, and went to the hall to see him. His movements were like flowing clouds and water, which was very smooth. The etiquette novices Xie Hong could only sigh, not because he admired the movements of these two people, but because he praised the names of the two envoys: "This name is so ethnic. You know it comes from that peninsula at the first glance."

"How can I see it?" Ma Yongcheng was curious. He had only heard that North Korea admired the style of the Celestial Dynasty and imitated it effectively in many aspects such as culture and clothing, but he didn't know the name's particularity. He also secretly admired it in his heart: It's worthy of being the one the emperor values, and this experience is indeed great.

"So narrow-minded and arrogant!" Xie Hong exclaimed repeatedly, "These two are perfect matches and directly reveal the national characteristics of North Korea!"

"Uh..." Ma Yongcheng's words were choked back into his stomach, and he couldn't help but complain: Is it possible that a small North Korea is narrow-minded and arrogant? Why are you arrogant? Don't you see that they are tribute every year? I heard that they are crying and shouting to be possessed. How can they be arrogant? In terms of unreliable things, Lord Xie is like Master Long Live.

"Xuanqianhu Xie Hong met!" After a while, the two of them went in, there was another sing. I don't know if it was Zhengde who was anxious to solve the problem or the courtiers who were anxious to solve the problem. In short, it was very urgent.

"Brother Jiang, bring your things and let's go in." Xie Hong turned around and greeted Jiang Bin, then followed Ma Yongcheng and entered the Palace of Supreme Harmony.

"Okay."

Since entering the Forbidden City, Scar's mouth has never closed. I am so happy that I have entered the Forbidden City. I have come in from Taihe Gate. I have known that I have found a good backer, but I didn't expect it to be so good. Ha, I'm going to go to the Golden Palace again soon, which is a promising prospect.

He happily moved the pendulum clock from the carriage. Although this thing was called a "clock", it was in a strange shape, like a big cabinet. If Jiang Bin had not had the strength to hold on to his arms and strength, he would not have been able to hold on to this thing.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony is the place where court meetings are held, and there is no need to say that the hall is solemn and solemn. Today, it is a grand ceremony for the envoys, so there are more court officials participating in it than usual. I just couldn't see it in front of the hall, but when I looked in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, it was full of darkness.

When Xie Hong entered the hall, everyone glared at him. Because there were too many people, the eyes seemed to have condensed into substance. Even with Xie Hong's mood, he felt pressure. However, since he formed a group with Zhengde, Xie Hong's ability to withstand pressure has increased greatly and is changing to an excellent MT, so he didn't care.

"I Xie Hong, please see Your Majesty..." You don't care about etiquette in your daily life, but it's not possible in formal occasions. Xie Hong still understands the etiquette you see.

"Hurry and don't give me a gift." Zhengde Zheng had a headache and was also very happy when he saw Xie Hong. If Gu Dayong had not winked repeatedly, he might have stood up and met him.

"Thank you, Lord, for your kindness." Xie Hong did the etiquette he learned, then raised his eyes and saw clearly the situation in the hall.

Not far ahead of him, he was still lying down. Uh, no, he was kneeling on two people, Jin and Li who had just seen. These two people had a horse-faced and a long beard and a horse-faced face. Xie Hong couldn't tell which one was which one, but he felt ashamed. Their etiquette was much better than that of him, and they were all lying on the ground with a promiscuous body, very respectful.

Before Zhengde could continue speaking, the horse-faced and bearded suddenly burst into tears and said, "Your Majesty, the strange treasures of the Celestial Kingdom must be very valuable, but our country is small and barren. Even if there are strange treasures, it is useless. Last year, it was famined and the people lived in dire straits and heat, and they were eagerly waiting for the sweet rain of the Celestial Kingdom day and night. Please pity the people of Korea. Foreign minister Jin Xia loves them, and chant their heads for hundreds of worships on behalf of the Korean King Lee Long."

"The foreign minister Li Zida paused his head for a hundred bows..." The other one with a long bearded and horse-faced echoed in unison. Xie Hong knew who was the two of them.

"Didn't I just say it? I told you not to cry anymore, why did you cry again!" Zhengde was not so kind to these two people, and said with a stern face, "Relief is relief, and return gift is return gift, how can we confuse it? Besides, you haven't seen the treasure yet, how can you know that it's not possible? If the treasure cannot be regarded as the gift, the treasure in the tribute will be crossed out."

The crying stopped abruptly, and Jin and Li were both shocked. This time they went on a mission to pay tribute, and they were counting on that pocket watch. If they crossed it out, the errands would be impossible to do, because those routine tributes were less than in previous years. You must know that last year, there was a major famine, and even the ginseng on the mountain could not be collected much, otherwise would it be possible for two classes of nobles to starve?

Moreover, the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty is really unique. In previous years, he could occasionally see his beauty, but the emperor only said a few examples, and the real dealings were officials of the Ministry of Rites.

The people of the Ministry of Rites are all well-educated and polite. Even if they bargain, they smiled and circled around. How could they say such direct words? Both envoys were not adapted to the style of Zhengde, so they went to see Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites. Lord Zhang was very particular about people and was very particular about doing things for others when they received the gift.

Isn’t it just that I have collected some silver and a few broken ginseng? I even asked me to say it for you. They are really two useless people. Zhang Sheng cursed in his heart, and then he came out to hear the news: “Your Majesty, the final code I gave is the ancestral system and the majesty of the Celestial Dynasty…”

"I didn't say I wouldn't give it back, but they could pay a gift from a strange treasure, but I don't want my gift back! Zhang Aiqing, you hear it clearly. They don't want my things? Is it so majestic to be rejected? Do you mean that?" Zhengde interrupted Zhang Sheng impatiently.

"This..." Zhang Sheng was snatched by Zhengde, and his face was very unhappy, but he was not very anxious and didn't know how to answer for a while.

What can be paid tribute and what can't be returned? It is impossible to say so in the ancestral system. Moreover, there are many traps in Zhengde's words. If he speaks rashly, it may cause trouble. It cannot be said that the ancestral system stipulates that the emperor must sell the imperial house to return the gift, right? Who is Lord Zhang? How could he say such stupid words?

His special trick - crying, was used first by the North Korean envoy, and he was a little embarrassed to use it in front of the envoy. What's more, Zhengde was still very immunized to this move, so Zhang's face was red and white, and was frozen by Zhengde's words.

"Your Majesty, the envoy's meaning is not to reject Your Majesty's return gift, but to say that the treasures given by Your Majesty may not be suitable for use. The treasures in the tribute are time-based and are quite magical. If you give them back... according to the ancestral system, you will have to give the corresponding treasures back." The old rival Han Wen rescued Zhang Sheng. Although there are many internal differences among the civil officials, they are still very consistent when it comes to external affairs.

"Isn't it just a timekeeping? Big...well, Xie Aiqing, what is the function of what you brought?"

"It is the purpose of timing." Xie Hong bowed and replied.

Zhengde nodded and said to Han Wen: "Han Aiqing, what do you think?"

Han Wen looked at Xie Qian and saw that Grand Secretary Xie nodded slightly. He felt confident in his heart. According to the previous discussion, he pushed the matter to the envoy: "I obey the order, but... will your Majesty listen to what the envoy says again?"

"Since the envoy has something to say, it's okay to say it?" Zhengde glanced at Han Wen and turned to the two envoys.
