"What Cao Guogong said just now seems to me to be quite unflattering!"
Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth and first disparaged Li Jinglong.
The latter smiled, as if he was not talking about him.
"It is too arrogant, unreasonable, cunning and cruel, which is not the way for a great country to act!" Zhu Gaochi added, "Our Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette, how can we do such rogue things!"
As he spoke, he smiled and said, "When a person dies, he or she is dead. Anyone who commits suicide in my city of Daming Guanyi commits suicide!"
"As for why he committed suicide, it is open to question. He made such nonsense when our court held the grand ceremony for the arrival of the King of Burma, and there are witnesses!"
"The kings of Siam, Chenla, Ceylon, and Burma can all testify! If King Annan is not afraid of embarrassment, we will let these people write their testimonies!"
"As for Li Wenliang's death, there was even more ulterior motives. He disrespected the Ming Dynasty and our emperor, but the emperor was kind and didn't care about it. He just wanted to send gifts out of the country!"
"It stands to reason that if he returns to Annan and doesn't add jealousy to whatever he says, the two countries will be in peace."
"But he just pretended to be wronged and committed suicide. Isn't this sowing discord? Where do you put the king and father? Where do you put the people of the two countries?"
Zhu Yunxi nodded frequently, and Zhu Gaochi thought about it together.
"As for some people saying that this is not a good time to question Annan? But in my opinion, it is precisely because the envoy died that he must be questioned?"
When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he smiled and said, "Why?"
"First of all, as the leader of a country, what do you, the leader of Annan, mean by sending such a stupid young man here?"
"Whose intention was he to insinuate in the main hall? Who gave him the courage to disrespect our emperor?"
Zhu Gaochi said seriously, "Is he congratulating me to the Ming Dynasty? Or is he trying to cause trouble for the Ming Dynasty? Is he deliberately embarrassing the Ming Dynasty through his status as an envoy? Or does he think Annan and the Ming Dynasty are equals and wants to point fingers?"
"King Annan cannot escape the blame for a misappointment."
"Second, regarding the fact that Annan is eyeing the Ming Dynasty's use of troops in Burma! The Ming Dynasty's use of troops is for the traditional legal system of Burma, and also for the reunification of Burma, so that the people will be less exposed to the disaster of weapons!"
Zhu Gaochi said again, "What do you have to do with Annan? What is his intention behind the cold look in the dark?" He said with a cold smile, "Is it true that Annan has evil intentions towards Burma?"
"Third!" Zhu Gaochi said again, "According to the old practice of the third year of Hongwu, Annan was a vassal state conferred by the Celestial Empire, and it had to come to pay tribute every year. But now it has been three years, and it still sends envoys...
..."
"Isn't that disrespectful?"
As he spoke, Zhu Gaochi said again, "The way of a great country is to be upright and upright... I, the Ming Dynasty, have never been sorry to him at the beginning of Annan, but Annan has a lot of thoughts towards my Ming Dynasty... We must issue an edict to hold him accountable!"
After the words fell, the officials fell into deep thought.
"What about after questioning?" Zhu Yunxi asked again.
"If the Lord of Annan is sensible, he will definitely apologize!" Zhu Gaochi said with a smile, "I guess he will have to write some perfunctory words such as, improper employment, Li Wenliang has lost his conscience!"
"But the crime of disrespecting the Ming Dynasty and disrespecting the emperor cannot be just forgotten!" Zhu Gaochi added, "With this, I, the Ming Dynasty, will go to the credential again and ask him to make some substantial apology!"
"What about?" Zhu Yunxi asked with interest.
"First of all, since the two countries have not yet left the Qing border, they should immediately erect monuments to demarcate the border!" Zhu Gaochi said, "And on the Annan side, as a sign of respect, no troops can be stationed within 500 miles!"
"Hiss..." Someone in the palace took a breath of air, "This is a bully! Why does this trick sound so familiar? It seems that it was used against Korea and Burma before?"
"Second..." Zhu Gaochi said again, "open the port, allow our Ming merchant ships to have their own transactions, and set aside an area specifically for our Ming merchants and others to live, and Annan people are not allowed to enter!"
"Third, our Ming Dynasty's merchant ships will be exempted from tax...and cannot be searched. If there are any traffickers in contraband or unscrupulous traders, Annan cannot arrest them...but he can report the matter to Yunnan or Guangxi
Chief Secretary...."
"Fourth, because Li Wenliang deliberately killed the Ming Dynasty in an attempt to instigate diplomatic relations between the two countries, Annan must send someone to apologize in person! And he must be a member of the royal family!"
This damn fat man is so evil!
He still has the nerve to call Li Jinglong a scoundrel, but he is not a scoundrel but an outright robber!
"It stands to reason!" Zhu Gaochi hadn't finished speaking, "To show sincerity, the tribute from Annan must be doubled. But my Ming Dynasty is rich all over the world, and you, the emperor, are definitely not willing to care about this, so forget it!"
Are you still a human being?
The ministers cursed in their hearts.
At first Fang Xiaoru said that there were no good people in the entire dynasty, but now it seems that it is not just the dynasty that has good people. It is not just that there are no good people in the dynasty! They are simply eating people without spitting out the bones!
"Well..." Zhu Yunxi nodded, "Isn't this too overbearing?"
"You have no face, who are you pretending to be innocent for?" Zhu Gaochi cursed in his heart, "Aren't these what I said in your heart?"
But he said with a serious face, "My Ming Dynasty is a country of parents. If a child makes a mistake, he will naturally be beaten and taught. Let him know to be afraid, so that he will not commit the same mistake in the future!"
"Yeah! That makes sense!" Zhu Yunxi nodded, "Just do what you want!"
At this moment, Deng Ping suddenly hurried in from outside.
"Your Majesty, the Jinyiwei side found an autographed letter from the Annan envoy Li Wenliang in the palace!" As he said, he paused, "The Jinyiwei Qianhu in charge looked at it and felt that the matter was so serious that it could only be handed over to the palace.
middle!"
"Oh...?" Zhu Yunxi said, "Bring it over and have a look!"
After saying that, he asked again, "How did you find it?"
Deng Ping whispered, "After Annan's envoy committed suicide, his entourage protected his body so that no one could get close to it. The royal guards on duty felt that something was fishy. So they brought it to the envoy on the pretext that the envoy's clothes were messy and detrimental to his appearance.
Please change your clothes!"
"But the envoy's entourage still stopped him violently! So, the Jin Yiwei used force and found this last letter among the clothes of the Annan envoy's body!"
Zhu Yunxi glanced at He Guangyi and said, "The people under your command are quite clever!"
"I neglected my duty, which resulted in the death of Annan's envoy. Please punish me!" He Guangyi said hurriedly.
"Who can stop him from dying?" Zhu Yunxi snorted, opened the letter, and said with a smile, "This man's handwriting is quite elegant..."
But the next second, the smile on his face froze.
"ha!"
Everyone looked over.
"What a brilliant person who violently attacked the Qin Dynasty!" Zhu Yunxi laughed and said, "What a person whose lips are dead and his teeth are cold and the situation is precarious, and what a person who can advance and retreat together with the same voice!"
As he spoke, he held up the letter in his hand and said, "This Li Wenliang, I really underestimate him! He wants to imitate Su Qin and Zhang Yi!"
"He said in the letter that the Ming Dynasty was eyeing the surrounding vassal states and wanted to devour them."
"And in order to prevent the ancestral temples of various countries from losing their territory and changing their owners, all countries must unite to fight against our Great Tomorrow Dynasty..."
"He also compared the Ming Dynasty to the Qin Dynasty..."
"From now on, we will no longer pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and actively prepare for war on the border... At the same time, we will cut off commercial ties with the Ming Dynasty, and no ships will be allowed to dock..."
"Ha!" Zhu Yunxi laughed again, "Isolate my Ming Dynasty, and then if one of them is in trouble, all sides will support him!"
"This thief deserves to be punished! It's easy for him!" Li Jinglong cursed.
"So... it seems!" Zhu Yunxi held the letter with a gloomy expression on his face, "In addition to the edict of guilt to Annan, this final letter must also be sent!"
"He, Li Wenliang, represents the monarchs and ministers of Annan. Our great Ming Dynasty has no fault in morality, but he is regarded as a flood beast, and his heart is to be punished!"
Zhu Gaochi immediately said, "Your Majesty, then...do we need to add a few more terms of apology that Caichen mentioned just now?"
"Of course I have to add... It's one thing to apologize, but now it seems like it's as simple as apologizing for something like this?" Zhu Yunxi sneered.
