Why are you applying for credentials again? Zhu Yunxi said impatiently, asking for canonization and gold seal again?
When Zhu Yunxu first became the grandson of the emperor, the old man approved the new name of Goryeo to be Korea. However, he did not canonize Li Chenggui as the king of Goryeo. However, he persevered and sent envoys several times to request the canonization of the Ming Dynasty.
The title of king means that North Korea has become a formal vassal state with independent sovereignty. The Li family has become the lord of North Korea. It should be noted that at this time, there are still many people in North Korea who miss the previous royal family.
The Li family was secretly dissatisfied.
The Li family's request for canonization was to use the Ming Emperor's edict and the legitimacy recognized by China to silence the nostalgic forces.
How could the Zhu family be willing to do this kind of thing! Even though the Li family has gold, silver and beauties, not only did they not agree, but the old man often cursed in his credentials to Korea.
It is advisable not to compare with a small country far away, but its deceit and hypocrisy must not be ignored. Everyone should be safe and do not feel guilty.
He is stubborn and cunning, so let him take his own course. He has sent a letter to the official to ask for a seal and an imperial edict. Do not treat him lightly.
This is as easy as pointing at Li Chenggui's nose and saying, you are a sinister villain. But Li Chenggui is really as his name suggests. Li Cheng knelt and knelt all day long.
The more he scolds, the more he gives gifts, the more he scolds, the more he behaves, and he has no sense of shame.
Furthermore, in the old man's mind, the Li family is a usurper of the throne and a rebellious official.
Chinese emperors have been like this since ancient times. I can do whatever I want here. But these vassals like yours must behave themselves and be loyal ministers and filial sons.
Although he was impatient, he still wanted to read the letter of credence handed over to the Ministry of Rites from Honglu Temple. Zhu Yunxi opened it and saw the beautiful regular script written by the North Korean civil servants, which was no less than a national hand.
Minister, I have the right to know the state affairs of North Korea, Li Chenggui pays tribute to the Emperor of China, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty......
Since the beginning of spring, the Liaodong Jurchens have been invading the borders, plundering people, burning villages, and beheading officials of the country. The lives of the people have been devastated, and there have been heavy casualties!
North Korea is a small country, and it would not dare to use weapons in Liaodong for fear of angering the country. However, the people of North Korea are also human beings, so they send troops to protect themselves...
Huh! Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi snorted coldly, his face turned horribly cold.
He is really a loser to future generations and makes himself look so pitiful! He said that he did not dare to send troops to conquer the Jurchens, but he dared to invade the old land of Liaodong. It should be noted that in order to annex some Jurchen tribes in Liaodong, Li Chenggui led 5,000 elite cavalry and 10,000 paces
They almost reached the gates of Liaoyang City.
Now that I have been harassed by the Jurchens several times, I have come out pitifully, saying that I don’t dare to use weapons without permission? Are you fooling the devil? I really think the Ming Dynasty is a fool, he is really an insidious villain.
He said he didn't dare. Maybe he had already united the army at this time and was preparing to continue to encroach on the land in Liaodong.
You are right, old man, and I don’t want to argue with you or bother to go on an expedition. If you wait for me to come to power, you will have your teeth broken into pieces and stuffed in your buttocks!
Zhu Yunxi cursed in his heart and then looked down.
If the superior country does not allow the subject country to interfere without permission, then beg the superior country to frighten the Jurchens and protect the peace of our small country of Korea!
His Majesty the Emperor of Fuwang, with the measure of the universe and the brightness of the sun and the moon, understands the heart of the country...
Ha! Zhu Yunxi sneered in his heart again. He was so shameless. He said both good and bad things. While begging for forgiveness because they were fighting with the Jurchens, he also said that if the Ming Dynasty did not want them to fight, he would ask the Ming Dynasty to fight those Jurchen tribes.
But suddenly, Zhu Yunxi's heart moved.
If the imperial court wants Liaodong to be stable and without war, then the Yan Fan in Peiping will bear the brunt. Over the years, the imperial court has always had a conciliatory attitude towards the Jurchens, and after North Korea annexed many Jurchen tribes, the Jurchens suffered heavy losses and retreated three feet away.
Take the initiative to provoke North Korea.
Why did they suddenly start harassing the North Korean border this year? Moreover, at this juncture?
How can there be so many coincidences in the world? Too many coincidences means something fishy!
Seeing the change in the expression on Zhu Yunxi's face, Li Yuanming, the Minister of Rites, spoke up and said, Your Highness, when I received the letter of credence, I heard from the Korean envoy that after the beginning of spring, the Jurchens broke into the border city of North Korea and slaughtered three thousand soldiers and civilians...
...
What does it have to do with us? Oh, the Li family is only allowed to go to North Korea and annex the Jurchen tribe. If they are not allowed to resist, they will be killed? What's the rationale?
This.........Suddenly, Li Yuanming was speechless.
Zhu Yunxi smiled coldly and threw the North Korean credentials back. Li Yuanming was so surprised that he couldn't react in time. The credentials fell to the ground and he hurriedly bent down to pick them up.
Don't pick it up! Zhu Yunxi said in a cold voice, "There are only oral instructions, please listen carefully!"
Li Yuanming quickly lowered his hands and listened solemnly.
Reply to North Korea's Li Chenggui. Zhu Yunxi stood up and said, it's all nonsense......
Suddenly, the courtiers in the palace were stunned again. How could the credential be worded like this?
Hearing Zhu Yunxi speak again, he wrote back and told him that what you said was nonsense. I heard that although Korea was small, it still had a hundred thousand soldiers and horses. The Jurchen tribe only had a few thousand soldiers. How could they invade the border and massacre the soldiers and people?
The Jurchen tribe grew up on the banks of rivers in the forest. How could they attack the city as barbarians?
Your Korea first invaded and occupied the homeland of Liaodong and annexed the Jurchens, but the matter has not yet been settled. Now it wants to use weapons without permission. What is its intention? Could it be that it is still peeking at the fertile land of Liaodong?
If you have this intention, wouldn't it be detrimental to my Ming Dynasty's sword?
If there is a Jurchen invasion, you can protect your own city. But if a Korean soldier sets foot on our land in Liaodong, he will come back a hundred times. Don't say you were unprepared!
In addition, if North Korea cannot protect itself and the Jurchen tribe cannot stop it, why should it be called a country? If not the country's name is abolished and counties are established, the Ming Dynasty will definitely preserve it!
With that said, Zhu Yunxi picked up the tea and took a big sip. He just wrote and said this without changing a word!
Several people in the hall were stunned and looked dull.
Your Highness! It took a long time for Li Yuanming, the Minister of Rites, to realize what he said. He asked hurriedly, "Isn't there something wrong with such wording?" The two countries are at war with each other. The Ming Dynasty is a celestial dynasty and a superior country. What Your Highness said is a bit aggressive and hurts Your Highness' kindness.
The name!
With a bang, Zhu Yunxi put the tea bowl on the imperial desk. He didn't even get a canonization. What kind of country does it belong to, North Korea? The emperor's grandfather wrote it in the letter of credence he gave him last year, "She is a concubine!"
Son, why are you being polite to him?
Seeing Zhu Yunxi getting angry, Li Yuanming did not dare to say anything.
However, several civil servants in the palace were thinking that His Highness seemed to be too harsh on the vassal state.
Zhu Yunxi looked at them, but felt a little regretful for no reason.
I regretted sending Li Jinglong to the army and was about to go on an expedition with the army.
If Lao Li was here, it would be strange not to spray the North Korean envoys and Li Chenggui, who proclaimed himself king, into a sieve!
You are not being mean! Zhu Yunxi said patiently, North Korea's Li family is self-reliant. If they don't give it a hard beating, they may lose their respect!
How can you be respectful when people are almost kneeling on the floor?
Everyone was slandering in their hearts, but they said with their mouths, what His Highness said is absolutely true!
If nothing happens, please step aside, I still have a memorial to approve! Zhu Yunxi sat down and said.
Please leave!
Li Yuanming and Lian Zining stood up to leave, but Zhao Mian, the Minister of Household Affairs, did not move and said, "I have something to report!"
Zhu Yunxi picked up a memorial and said, "Let's talk!"
There is a vacancy among the doctors in the Land and Acres Liquidation Department of the Ministry of Household!
Officials below the sixth rank are arranged by the Ministry of Personnel! After the memorial, Zhu Yunxi showed half of his face and said this to me. Don't you think it's a bit of a fuss?
Zhao Mian smiled awkwardly and continued, I want to boldly recommend someone, please make a decision, Your Highness! He said and smiled again, there is a capable person in the Ministry of Household Affairs, named Luo Ben...
Wait, why is this name so familiar? Zhu Yunxi frowned and thought about it, suddenly realizing it.
This Luo Ben is Zhao Ning'er's brother-in-law, and he is also his brother-in-law. However, this man is only an eighth-rank official in the Ministry of Household Affairs, while the doctor is a sixth-rank official, and he manages the liquidation department, which can be said to be a small official with great power.
Immediately, Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhao Mian's face, a little unkind.
He wanted to scold him, but after thinking about it, he put his words back in his stomach. Everyone has the intention of trying to make a profit. He nominated Robben, most likely because he wanted to stand out in front of him.
However, Zhu Yunxi didn't like this kind of behavior. He had a characteristic. Once he didn't like someone or had an opinion in his heart, he didn't even want to say more.
