Zhu Xuan agreed and saw Ashikaga Yoshichi as his side.
But it wasn't in the palace, but in the factory when inspecting supplies, and someone brought Ashikaga Yoshimochi.
Ashikaga Yoshimichi came to Zhu Xuan, first knelt down and kowtowed, and begged: "His Royal Highness the Ming Emperor Grandson, we were wrong. Our people should not have colluded with the Ming officials to steal relief supplies. We did not do the right thing. Please forgive our Japanese country, Your Highness."
Ashikaga Yoshimichi had long known the news that all their Japanese ships were impounded, and that the Japanese who came to Yingtian Mansion were all captured and sent to prison. Recently, he has been trading at the port of Huating.
When he received the news, Ashikaga Yoshimochi's courage was almost frightened. He was worried about antagonizing the Ming Dynasty. He came to the capital as quickly as possible to plead guilty and beg Zhu Xuan to let go.
That's what he did, kneeling in front of Zhu Xuan and begging for mercy.
If Zhu Xuan cannot be satisfied, Ashikaga Yoshimichi is worried that the Japanese nation will be destroyed.
"You Japanese are not so courageous!"
Zhu Xuan said calmly.
Ashikaga Yoshimochi kowtowed and said: "We, the Japanese nation, respect the Ming Dynasty very much, but there will always be some short-sighted people who take risks and act recklessly for the sake of profit. Your Highness should kill them all. Please forgive us, the Japanese nation."
"Japanese country, not guilty!"
He put his forehead on the ground.
Whether he can be forgiven depends on whether his attitude is sincere enough.
Seeing how sincere Ashikaga Yoshimochi was, Zhu Xuan originally wanted to torment them, but now he could only put down such thoughts temporarily.
"You, the Japanese country, got a lot of cold-warming supplies from our Ming Dynasty, right?" Zhu Xuan asked.
"Yes!"
Ashikaga Yoshimochi did not deny it. This kind of thing would be fine if he just denied it. He continued: "Those ignorant people have transported part of the supplies back to Japan. I will order them to send back what they transported."
Zhu Xuan waved his hands and said, "I don't want what you sent away."
He is not willing to take the things that the Japanese have used.
It’s not for anything else, just because it’s a bit jarring to bring back the dirty things that the Japanese have used.
"Excuse me, Your Highness, what should we do?"
Ashikaga Yoshinori asked cautiously.
"Just treat it like you bought it, just give me the money."
Zhu Xuan just wanted to blackmail Japan.
The Ashikaga family has a great cause in the Japanese country. If you don't blackmail them, who else can you blackmail?
"this……"
Ashikaga Yoshimochi thought that the supplies they sent back were actually purchased from corrupt officials of the Ming Dynasty.
Your Highness, if you catch a corrupt official and confiscate his or her home, then the money will become the property of the Ming Dynasty.
Why do we still have to pay for it?
Ashikaga Yoshimachi didn't want to give money, he just wanted to send the supplies back, but he hesitated and didn't dare to say this.
Zhu Xuan saw it and asked coldly: "What, you're still not happy?"
"No...no!"
Ashikaga Yoshimochi didn't dare to show his displeasure. He nodded repeatedly and said: "We are happy. I... will collect the money right now."
In fact, he could also think that the reason why Zhu Xuan didn't tell them directly how much money he needed was because he wanted to defraud their Japanese country and let him take the initiative to give a large sum of money to sell the consequences of this disaster.
However, the Japanese country did not dare to do this.
Ashikaga Yoshimachi does not want to be destroyed.
With Zhu Xuan's consent, Ashikaga Yoshitomichi left quickly.
He didn't know whether the money brought to Ming Dynasty this time was enough to give Zhu Xuan the "payment", but the Japanese country suffered for itself and could not blame others.
"Your Highness hates the Japanese very much!"
Ji Wenjing said.
Zhu Xuan explained: "The Japanese are not good people. If the timing is not right now, the Japanese still have some residual value, and my navy has crushed the Japanese country."
"Destroy the country and massacre them all?"
Ji Wenjing asked.
"That's right!"
Zhu Xuan responded affirmatively.
hiss……
Ji Wenjing felt like he had gotten to know Zhu Xuan again.
I can't tell that the usually kind and righteous emperor Zhu Xuan can be so cruel and ruthless. When he wants to slaughter an entire country, I can't figure out where Zhu Xuan's hatred for the Japanese country comes from.
It seems to come from the heart, an innate hatred.
Zhu Xuan said, "Mr. Ji, are you afraid?"
Ji Wenjing shook his head and smiled: "What am I afraid of? It's not me who was destroyed. I just felt that when His Highness said those words, it gave me a very strange feeling."
Zhu Xuan laughed and said: "Am I a stranger? It seems that I am really scared of Mr. Ji. Mr. Ji will help me accept the payment for the goods sent by the Japanese and use it for disaster relief. By the way, the recent section Time, Yingtian Mansion has nothing else to do, right? Are the disaster relief supplies still sufficient?"
For a while, he did not pay specific attention to the situation in Yingtian Mansion.
What I read in the palace in the past two days were all the memorials sent in by Liang Fu. Of course, I didn't ask Ji Wenjing's truth when reading the memorials.
Ji Wenjing said: "Your Highness has dealt with Lishui County Magistrate and the Japanese. Who else in Yingtian Mansion dares to embezzle relief supplies? As for the supply of supplies, it is still sufficient. Due to ice and snow, roads in many places are impassable and it is difficult to transport supplies. Nature is sufficient.”
"well!"
Thinking of the difficulty of material transportation, Zhu Xuan sighed: "We can only do our best to deliver materials to other places to survive this winter. I think we must make preparations in advance for winter cold disasters in other years. What does Mr. Ji think?"
Ji Wenjing agreed with the conjecture of the Little Ice Age mentioned by Zhu Xuan before, and agreed: "It is very necessary. Whether the Ming Dynasty can be stable internally, the people at the bottom are very important."
If the people at the bottom can live safely, then the Ming Dynasty will not be in chaos.
If Zhu Yuanzhang and his family had enough to eat, they would not have taken up the knife to rebel.
“We’ll think about it after this winter.”
Zhu Xuan said helplessly: "To do this requires another huge investment. I hope our cigarettes can make more money next year to cover this cost."
Ji Wenjing didn't know why when he mentioned cigarettes, he felt uncomfortable all over: "Your Highness, don't mention cigarettes again. I can't help but want to take a few puffs. Cigarettes are really... very addictive."
Zhu Xuan smiled and said: "Then Westerners will become more and more popular, which is a good thing!"
Controlling Westerners from having to smoke from above, thereby creating benefits for the Ming Dynasty. Although this method is not very fair, it does not matter when dealing with Westerners.
"Your Highness's actions are a bit immoral, but I don't deny that the more immoral you are, the easier it is to get rich. You can't make money with a conscience." Ji Wenjing said with a smile.
"Okay, you've already described me as a heinous bad guy."
Zhu Xuan stretched and continued: "In terms of materials, you will allocate them all. Yingtian Eight Counties, please keep an eye on me. I still have many things to deal with when I return to the palace."
In addition to the homework of the main hall, I also help Grandpa Huang read memorials and deal with cold disaster problems in other places.
Every morning, I have to go to court.
Sit next to Lao Zhu and listen, learning how to go to court alone in the future.
Being an emperor means there are many things to do. The emperor is not as comfortable and comfortable as Prince Xiaoyao, but possessing supreme power is what countless people desire.
