Chapter 178 No matter what, I have to defect to you (2)
explain?
say what?
Can you still live after dying?
Li Jianshan really wants to strangle Dedopaye to death!
Because what he said is...
He said that since a man from the Zhu family married his daughter, could he also marry a daughter from the Zhu family?
"This guy is crazy!" Li Jianshan thought to himself, "When we return to Burma, we must control him tightly and not give him any freedom!"
But at the same time, his mind was racing rapidly.
No matter, lying is better than telling.
In that case, the Emperor will lose face, and if the Emperor loses face, I will lose my life. Even if I survive, my future in Burma and even the whole family will be ruined!
Because the role of the Li family in Burma was to help the Ming Dynasty control the Burmese king.
"The king said that this time he came to Ming Dynasty, the world's wealth opened his eyes." Li Jianshan stared at the lie, "He didn't want to go back after staying here, and he also said..."
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yunxi's eyes were as bright as fire and he said with a smile, "He really said that?"
What hasn't he seen? None of the ministers in the court could escape Zhu Yunxi's eyes, let alone Li Jianshan's little trick.
Under the direct gaze of Zhu Yunxi, Li Jianshan could only bite the bullet and said, "Go back to the emperor, that's what the king said in the telegram!"
Even if you give him ten thousand courages, he won't dare to tell the truth.
"Yeah!" Zhu Yunxi nodded, then looked at Dedopaye with a smile, "Since Aiqing likes the Ming Dynasty, you must learn to speak Chinese!" He said with another smile, "How many sons do you have?"
Li Jianshan immediately said, "Four...the oldest is twenty-one, the youngest is six years old..."
"Send them all to the capital and let them study in the Imperial College and learn Chinese!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "We are all one family, and it is not allowed to talk about two families!"
Afterwards, Zhu Yunxi never looked at Dedopaye again and walked away.
"My limit? My limit is that a dog is a dog. I can feed you, but you can't ask for it from me!"
"This person seems to be scheming, but in fact he is extremely stupid!"
Li Jinglong followed Zhu Yunxi, following every step, and whispered, "It seems that he is scheming, but in fact he is not a tolerant person! Even if he has some thoughts, it is just a little cleverness and it is difficult to achieve anything!"
This evaluation is right to the point.
But King Fanmian is a truly wise man. He should know at this time, even when he is pretending to be a grandson. What qualifications do you have to probe other people's limits? Even if you know it, do you have the right to challenge other people's limits?
Pretending to be crazy and acting stupid?
That just makes him more of a clown!
A complete clown.
The self-humiliating clown!
~~
Arriving in front of the Ryukyu envoy, Zhu Yunxi stopped again.
And the look on his face was as if he had just met his family.
"Foreign Minister, please pay homage to the Emperor!" The Ryukyu envoy was already prostrate on the ground, so excited that he couldn't help himself.
"Get up! Why should a family be so generous?" In the astonished eyes of Zhenla Ceylon and other envoys, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty actually bent down and helped the Ryukyu envoy up, and even held his hand warmly.
arm.
"How is the Lord of Ryukyu?" Zhu Yunxi asked with a smile.
"Go back to the Emperor!" Being treated with such courtesy by the Ming Emperor, the Ryukyu envoy was so excited that he couldn't help himself, "My king... my king is seriously ill this autumn!"
"Oh?" Zhu Yunxi turned to look at Li Jinglong and said displeasedly, "Why didn't the Lifan Academy report to the court?"
"It was the head of my family who said not to do anything about Duke Cao..." the envoy said excitedly, "my envoy was so sad that after hearing the bad news of the death of Emperor Taizu Gao, he fell ill. He was seriously ill.
At that time, he repeatedly told us not to inform the emperor about his illness. He said..."
"He said that you are already suffering enough. As the first vassal of the Ming Dynasty, I really can't cause you any more trouble!"
"Bah! Who gave you the title of the first feudal lord of the Ming Dynasty?" envoys from other countries cursed in their hearts.
"Is he cured now? Do you need me to send an imperial doctor?" Zhu Yunxi frowned and said, "The Ming Dynasty of Ryukyu is like a family. If my family has any trouble, I won't bother. As early as when Taizu Emperor Gao was still alive, he praised the leader of Ryukyu Kingdom very much.
, and even sent six surnames from Fujian and craftsmen to Ryukyu to help build palaces!"
"What does one family say to two families? The Lord of the Ryukyu Kingdom, I am my brother!"
"It is hard for the Emperor to repay the kindness of the Emperor. The small country of Ryukyu was shattered to pieces!" The envoy suddenly choked up and said in tears, "Thanks to the blessing of Emperor Taizu Gao, my king is fine."
"When I come here this time, the king has specifically asked me to serve His Majesty with sincerity. Therefore, the tributes from my country this time are all carefully selected by me..."
As he said that, he presented the gift list with a somewhat shy hand, "It's just a small country in a remote and remote area, and there really isn't anything I can offer as a tribute..."
There is a long list of gifts on the list.
Sappan wood, pepper, conch shell, whetstone...
Onyx, ivory, Japanese sword and bamboo armor...
Ripe copper cowhide pearls......
In fact, it seems that except for the shells and conch shells, Ryukyu purchased them from elsewhere and donated them to the Ming Dynasty.
This is really...a deep friendship.
"It's good to have people come and bring so many things!" Zhu Yunxi sighed slightly.
"In the past, when Taizu Emperor Gao was still alive, he once said that when the former emperor ruled the world, no matter where the sun and moon shined, there would be no one far or near, and everyone would be treated equally!"
"When the envoys from the Celestial Dynasty arrived, the barbarian chiefs paid tribute, but Ryukyu is far away in the southeast of China, far away from the sea..."
At this point, the envoy was so excited that he trembled all over, "The Ming Dynasty did not look down on Ryukyu as a small country, but treated it like a brother and sister. Ryukyu people from top to bottom serve the country of Ming's parents with all their heart and soul!"
His excitement is not unreasonable. Ryukyu has always been greedy and unparalleled for all dynasties...
He was so poor that no dynasty had any interest in him, even if he could be canonized as a vassal king.
When an envoy goes there, he has to pay his own way.
But when I arrived at the old man's place, I particularly liked this overseas country.
First, they are respectful.
Second, they pose no threat.
"This tribute is too heavy!" Zhu Yunxi sighed again.
"It's not serious, I just hate Ryukyu as a small country and I can't give it my all!"
Zhu Gaochi looked on with cold eyes and cursed in his mind, "How excited are you? Do you really think that Xizi's conscience finds it difficult for you to come here and bring so many things that you paid for with your own money and bought from others?"
"You think you gave him so many things, how should he return the gift?"
"He is picking at it like a Pixiu, light can't come out. It makes his face less beautiful and more distressed!"
At this moment, Zhu Yunxi turned his head slightly and said, "Hong Xi!"
"I'm here!" Zhu Gaochi immediately leaned over and said.
"Since Ryukyu is so sincere, I will leave the return gift to you. The return gift to the leader of Ryukyu must be carefully selected!" Zhu Yunxi said seriously.
"I am Cao..." Zhu Gaochi thought to himself, "This...isn't this fucking Li Jinglong's job? How should I choose? I will choose 10,000 taels of gold, 20,000 silver dollars, 1,000 pieces of silk and satin, and porcelain
A thousand pieces, why don't you turn around and grab the oil out of me?"
Suddenly, the Ryukyu envoy fell to his knees again.
He shouted, "Since the Emperor loves Ryukyu, then..."
Seeing his excitement, Zhu Yunxi wondered, "Speak slowly!"
"Since the Emperor loves Ryukyu, why doesn't he let Ryukyu follow the example of Burma?" The envoy said loudly, "We, the small country of Ryukyu, are willing to follow the example of Burma, and all the soldiers and civilians will join the Ming Dynasty..."
Suddenly, there was silence in the hall.
I want you, I have wanted you for a long time!
The key is that your place is too poor!
In Myanmar, there are three seasons of food throughout the year, and there are countless mines and forests. It’s no good for people!
What do you have?
Just an island...
Conch shell...
If you are included in the territory, I, the Ming Dynasty, can't get anything out of it. I have to join in a little bit every year...
Everyone in the Ming Dynasty understood this truth! But they couldn't say it out loud, because saying it would hurt the vassal's self-esteem!
Zhu Yunxi pondered for a moment, "Although Ryukyu is small, it is still a foundation. If the Ming Dynasty is included in the territory, it will be necessary to set up counties and increase garrison troops!"
"I regard the Lord of the Ryukyu Kingdom as my sibling, so why would I bear to seize his ancestral temple and state?"
For an ordinary person, this matter would be over after a few kowtows.
But this time the person who came was a stubborn one. He raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, I, the Lord of the Ryukyu Kingdom, have long said that I would like to be an idle prince in the Ming Dynasty, better than a wild king of Ryukyu!"
As he spoke, he burst into tears again, "Your Majesty, how could you bear to let me, Ryukyu, hang alone overseas, unable to bathe in God's grace!"
"This matter needs to be discussed in the long run!" Li Jinglong stepped forward, helped the envoy up, and whispered, "Ryukyu and Burma cannot be generalized. Besides, today is the king of Burma who personally comes to Beijing..."
"The leader of my country can come too!"
One sentence made Li Jinglong choked up and even a little embarrassed.
If someone is so sincere, wouldn't it be unreasonable to shirk it anymore?
Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi sighed in his heart that Ryukyu's kindness to China has not faded for thousands of years.
Even if later generations integrated into the Japanese territory, they never regarded themselves as Japanese people. The Chinese emperor's canonization ceremony for them was held on time every year without interruption.
"What I said are the words of the country's leader!" the Ryukyu envoy added, "Now the Ming Dynasty is also using troops against Japan, and Japan has Ming troops stationed there, so why should we, Ryukyu, not do the same?"
"Our country's leader also said that once the Ming Dynasty uses large armies against Japan in the future, our country is willing to serve five hundred athletes as pioneers for our emperor!"
"Why are you causing so much trouble with so many people?" Zhu Yunxi thought to himself, "Besides, this envoy is too honest. In front of so many vassal envoys, he bluntly stated that Ming Dynasty was also thinking about Japan! What do people think of this?
