Chapter 160: I am ordered by the sky
Although Zhu Di was happy on the surface, his eyes were wandering in the crowd and he didn't see Hao Fenglou. He couldn't help but feel a little impatient. Why didn't this guy come? Was he ashamed to meet people, or was he delayed by something?
Although he was swaying like this, he said, "Taizu captured the world by bows and horses. I followed the ancestral teachings and did not dare to humiliate my ancestors. How could my nobles and royal family in the Ming Dynasty love horses and swords? This time I entered the palace, I wanted everyone to show their magical weapons, not to distinguish between the superiors and the inferiors. I regard it as a play. What do you think?"
Everyone said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise."
Zhu Di laughed and was about to speak. At this time, the Japanese envoy Ashikaga Yoshi stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
As soon as Ashikaga Yoshihide stood up, the ministers in the court looked unhappy. It was obvious that it was very rude to interrupt the emperor at this time. His Majesty asked for a report before he could say anything. However, the Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi smiled, as if he had expected all this. At this time, he was watching the wall, leisurely, just waiting to watch the show.
Zhu Di was not angry, but just comforted the case and said, "Oh, who is you?"
Ashikaga Yoshidori: "The minister is an envoy of the Japanese Kingdom. He is here to congratulate His Majesty on his new journey to the great treasure."
Zhu Di didn't know where he came from. He asked this just a procedure. He said lightly: "I don't know what's going on?"
Ashikaga Yoshi said seriously: "A few days ago, the subordinates of the lower court had an indignation and hurt people because of a quarrel with others. This was a good thing. The subordinates traveled thousands of miles to make friends with the Ming Dynasty, because the Celestial Empire had always been harmonious with the lower country. The favor of the Celestial Empire spread overseas, but who knew that Yingtian Mansion actually took the people and took the subordinates of the lower court. The subordinates thought that if the two countries had a good relationship, how could they hurt the harmony for this? Please forgive me and release the few subordinates of the lower court. The subordinates would be grateful to Your Majesty for their behalf."
His Chinese language is very bad, and he can't express his meaning when he is slapped. Although he likes to use idioms and allusions, it is always a bit weird.
But the meaning is very clear.
From the beginning, he deliberately downplayed the murder, saying that it was hurting people, and then he talked about diplomatic relations between the two countries. On the surface, he said that the two brothers were good, but if he thought about it carefully, he would have a bit of threatening diplomatic relations.
Zhu Di's face pulled down.
Ashikaga Yoshinobu was not concerned and continued to talk: "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and the envoys of various countries have not been delayed. Only when the lower countries hear the call, they will immediately send envoys to come..."
Speaking of this, many people are already worried. You said that you Japanese people clearly have no IQ, but they still like to show off. They don’t have any pots to carry, whether they are intentional or unintentional, but they just use the wait-and-see situation in various countries. This seems to be a taboo.
However, no one took it seriously. No matter what the Japanese said, it doesn’t matter. After all, they are ‘guests’. Even if they are Emperor Taizu, they will not be too much about the guests. It would be okay if they say one or two wrong words.
Ashikaga Yoshi's words continued to echo in the hall: "If your Majesty is..."
"Enough!" A decisive sentence suddenly interrupted Ashikaga Yoshi's words.
Ashikaga Yoshi originally thought that his touching words of "informed with emotion and reason" would get a kind response, but unexpectedly, the silent Emperor of Ming Dynasty was furious.
Zhu Di stood up, and he stood on the Golden Palace with his hands behind his back, like a god, looking down at Ashikaga Yoshi, then sneered: "What is it? What do you think? The prince violated the law and the people. You said that it was Mu Hua's holy grace, but where did Mu Hua? He killed people in the street at my feet, but he was just an understatement saying that hurting people, and he wanted to use diplomatic relations to threaten me?"
Ashikaga Yoshika was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly felt that he kicked the iron plate. In fact, this method was very effective for the Celestial Empire. However, this time, he found that this method was not very effective and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I have no intention of threatening me. I just thought that since they are Japanese, I should hand it back to the country for disposal."
Zhu Di smiled and looked disdainful: "What if I refuse?"
"..." A little lieutenant like Ashikaga Yoshihide, now he encounters a big lieutenant like Zhu Di, and he is really a bit of an impulse to go crazy.
Zhu Di said sarcastically: "If I refuse, what can you do to me? I will cut off contact? Let me tell you the truth, I don't need you to carry a sedan chair. If you are willing, I will naturally miss you. But if you want to use this to threaten it rudely, then cut off contact. If you are still angry, you must have the ability to send troops to challenge me. Whether to yell or fight, you will also let you go. But I advise you not to offend, because I don't like others pointing at my nose and yelling. Scolding me, even though Japan is far away, it may not be enough to tolerate my 100,000 armored tiger bells. You can't afford to play!"
Ashikaga Yoshi was really confused at this time. I had never seen such a person before.
Zhu Di pointed to the brick under his feet and sneered, "The one standing at your feet is my territory, and your escorts are also my people. You want me to deal with it lightly, wanting to threaten diplomatic relations and force me and my court to submit. Then I can tell you now that this is a delusion. I enjoy this country, and it is not your people who carry the sedan chair or your congratulations to enhance my color. I have been ordered by heaven and will be the emperor. Who is that? I would like to care about these few words of congratulations? Now, I only ask you once, are you convinced?"
Ashikaga Yoshi was already sweating profusely. He was a little confused and felt his brain buzzing. This time he was really a big loss of face and lost face. He knew that he represented Japan. Now he was so humiliated by the Emperor Ming in front of so many people. He was no longer the only one who was humiliated. But what should we do now? Just leave with our sleeves? Look at this, the emperor's mind is not normal. Will he be cut off his head?
In fact, it was not just Ashikaga Yoshi's surprise, but even the ministers in the court were all scared to the point of being ashamed. A large number of people felt that Your Majesty was a bit too much. But at this time, Your Majesty was in anger, and everyone dared not speak out.
Zhu Di raised his tone, his face full of arrogant expression, and said, "I am asking you, why don't you answer?"
Ashikaga Yoshi's clothes were already soaked, and he weighed the pros and cons, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, whether you accept it or not, my subordinates have not yet made a conclusion. But if your Majesty wants to convince me, then just compare it." He suddenly remembered the prince's reminder in his mind, and looked at Zhu Gaochi deeply, and said grimly: "The country of the lower country is naturally not as good as the Great Ming Dynasty, but the country of the lower country is definitely not an ordinary person. This time, Your Majesty summons people to compete for swords. What does the following are the opinions of the following ministers, only swords, what's the meaning? If you want to compare, you might as well compare who is the warrior and whose swords.
Even more profitable, the minister is brave enough to bet with Your Majesty. He is willing to choose thirty samurai warriors, use the magic weapons of the country, and fight with the thirty samurai of the Ming Dynasty. He is also a divine weapon of the Ming Dynasty. He is just blind and afraid of hurting the harmony of the two countries. However, after hearing that Your Majesty is also a warrior, he is not afraid of blood. If Your Majesty refuses, he has nothing to say. But if Your Majesty is willing, then there is a good start. If Your Majesty loses, he is willing to be the few samurais who are willing to do so. But if Your Majesty loses, please release the samurais who are in charge of the law!"
Ashikaga Yoshinobu was willing to do his best. Anyway, he had reached this point and could not explain it even when he returned to China, so he simply tried his best. Moreover, in his heart, all the samurai he brought were elite Japanese. The Japanese took great respect for themselves in this regard and may not take the Ming Dynasty seriously.
Rich may not be able to compare with, but he is brave and fierce, but Ashikaga Yoshi thinks that the Ming Dynasty is not enough.
This is a provocation...
The entire Fengtian Palace exploded in an instant, and everyone glared at Ashikaga Yoshi. Some showed resentment, some felt inappropriate, and some felt dizzy, and they felt that it was really embarrassing.
King Zhu Gaoxu of Han was energetic today and wanted to shine in this sword competition. He specially invited a famous craftsman and made fifty good knives. He was looking forward to his father looking at him with a green eye. Unexpectedly, the Japanese envoys directly provoked him. Zhu Gaoxu suddenly became bloody and couldn't stand it. He shouted: "So brave, who is you? You dare to talk to Your Majesty like this!"
Ashikaga Yoshihide was willing to do anything, and ignored Zhu Gaoxu at all. Instead, he stared at Zhu Di and said, "Your Majesty doesn't know whether to bet or not. If you don't bet, you have nothing to say. If you bet, you will admire Your Majesty."
Zhu Gaoxu said angrily: "You want to bet? OK, then bet." Then he volunteered: "Father, the Japanese are too rude. My son is brave enough to ask me to take thirty warriors in person, take down the heads of these Japanese people and offer them to the father."
The face of the prince Zhu Gaochi showed an unpredictable expression. As he expected, his emperor brother was indeed too eager to show off and was about to appear in person. He would be without eyes when his sword would be...
But he was secretly happy that he succeeded, but his face was also painful.
"Father, I am willing to share my worries for my father." Zhu Gaoxu had already bowed to the ground, and the veins on his forehead burst out with anger.
Zhu Di looked at the second son who volunteered, and looked at the provocative Ashikaga Yoshi. He couldn't help but smile and said, "I don't like to bet, and I know that you are deliberately provoking me. I can't fulfill your wishes. But since I have said that I am very interested in betting with you. You said just now that there is no eyebrow in the sword, and there are probably casualties. I am quite pleased that my son is willing to volunteer, and even if he takes risks, he is willing to share his father's worries. I have a good son. But..."
