The prosperity of Zhongdu was beyond their wildest dreams, and the grandeur and extravagance of the Zhongdu Palace made the two of them slow down and did not dare to look around as before, making them look like country bumpkins.
The guards standing on both sides were all tall and burly in stature. The two of them were considered 'great men' in Japan, but here, he could only look up to these people.
This serious atmosphere made the two of them feel more and more awe-struck.
"You two, wait at the door and wait for the report!" The official of Honglu Temple said, and then went into Fengtian Hall to report.
Not long after, when there was a sound coming from inside, the two of them walked in cautiously.
The floor was as bright as a mirror. It seemed like one's own face could be reflected when one stepped on it. It felt like a kind of blasphemy to step on it.
It was their honor to enter this luxurious and magnificent palace.
They were extremely excited and even felt like a pilgrim.
He didn't dare to look at the emperor in the Jinluan Palace. He just knelt on the ground with sincerity and said, "The envoy of the Japanese island country, Nitta Giyu (Kusunoki Nakasai), is here to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor Daye!"
"Get up." Zhu Yuanzhang immediately offered him a seat.
The two of them only dared to touch half of their buttocks, and they were very embarrassed. After presenting their credentials, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it and couldn't help laughing, "Your king is quite polite, but how did we hear that your king is in Japan?" Call yourself the emperor!"
The two of them felt numb, and Nitta Yoshiyong hurriedly explained: "Wodao is a small country with weak people and has never seen much of the world. How dare you call yourself the king in front of His Majesty Emperor Daye?
When he came, the King of Heaven repeatedly told him that after coming to Daye, he should treat the people of Daye like brothers, and treat His Majesty the Emperor of Daye like his parents, serving him with filial piety! "
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing.
Li Shanren also stroked his beard with a smile.
"It's not impossible to be our son." Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "Unless your king asks to be our adopted son!"
"This is the honor of the Japanese island country and the king's luck. When I return this time, I will definitely find a way to convince His Highness!" Kusunoki Chengcai said.
Zhu Yuanzhang was quite satisfied with the attitude of these two people, even if this compliance was because they wanted something.
Then the two hurriedly presented gifts. Zhu Yuanzhang was not very interested in these gifts, but he still accepted them.
After accepting it, letters of credence were exchanged and the primary and secondary relationships were determined.
The moment they received the canonization, both of them couldn't help but get excited.
However, the two of them did not forget another mission, so they knelt down again and begged: "Please, Your Majesty, Emperor Daye, send troops to attack the rebellious ministers!"
Zhu Yuanzhang is also very cooperative, but if these two people don't mention it, he will never mention it.
After some acting, Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to their request and ordered Weihai King Zhu Jun to send troops to aid the Northern Dynasty and attack the rebellious ministers.
As a result, the Japanese island country became a dependent country of Daye again.
Secondly, people from the Southern Dynasties did invade Weihaiwei, so it was reasonable to send troops.
Third, as a suzerain country, it is naturally a subordinate country that has the obligation to defend its great cause, and it must also maintain the dignity of a great country.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang announced the sea ban strategy and was unwilling to interfere with the government affairs of other countries.
But this idea was gradually influenced by Zhu Jun.
Since Ningbo opened the sea and the court received tangible benefits, Zhu Yuanzhang never mentioned the ban on sea.
In addition, after the pirates on Peach Blossom Island were wiped out and a major worry was eliminated, he even deliberately encouraged sea trade.
Wouldn't it be the icing on the cake if we could take this opportunity to publicize the power of our great cause?
That man doesn't want to dominate the world, so congratulations come from all over?
If hundreds of vassal states come to pay their respects every year, how will the history books write about him?
It is said that there is no chance to become a figure like the Khan in history.
"Well, you are here for the first time, so you might as well stay in the capital for two more days!"
The two also heard the meaning of Zhu Yuanzhang's words and hurriedly left.
After walking out of Fengtian Hall, both of them were extremely excited.
"King Weihai is King Weihai. It is indeed extraordinary. I thought this matter would be difficult, but I didn't expect His Majesty Emperor Daye to agree immediately!" Nitta Yoshiyong said.
Nanmu Chengcai also nodded, "It seems that we made the right bet this time. Although King Weihai is greedy for money, he keeps his word and is a trustworthy person."
The two walked for a while, and Nitta Giyong said, "But why didn't Emperor Daye give us a reward?"
Kusunoki Chengcai said: "Stupid, we haven't left yet, why are you giving us a reward, are you urging us to leave?"
Nitta Giyuu thought the same thing, "Then let's stay for two days and then bid farewell to Emperor Daye. When we destroy the Southern Dynasty in the future, we will still have a chance to come here."
The prosperity of the great cause is charming. Although they are envious and want to stay for a few more days, they cannot delay the important event.
Besides, the Japanese island country is now a vassal state of Daye, and there will be many opportunities to send envoys again in the future.
"We have agreed for now, but we still need to inform the Ministry of Education about this matter. After all, sending troops to assist a dependent country is a major event and must be reported!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"Absolutely not!" Li Shanren said hurriedly: "Things are kept secret. If it is reported, no one can say whether the news will reach the Japanese island country. If the Southern Dynasties are prepared, won't it only increase trouble?
Furthermore, once Zhang Zhou or Chen Han knew that His Highness was leaving with his troops, wouldn't they expose their own shortcomings?
So we can’t say anything about emotion or reason. "
"Is it possible to launch a sneak attack on the Japanese island country?"
"The people in the Southern Dynasties of the Japanese island country are despicable. They came to attack Weihaiwei without telling everyone. We are just treating them as if they knew it!" Li Shanren said.
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally understood that he just wanted a step up, so that he wouldn't have trouble dealing with it when people mentioned it in the future. "Forget it, wait until that bastard goes to the Japanese island country, and then he can help Xu Jinda."
A plan gradually formed in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind. This time, he not only wanted to attack the Japanese island country, he also wanted to attack Liaodong.
If everything goes well, Liaodong can be recovered in one fell swoop.
At that time, he will be free to take care of Zhang Zhou and Chen Han.
Rather than being attacked from both sides.
Li Shanren smiled and said, "Your Majesty is a wise man."
"Okay, aren't you the one who organized our work?" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, "We still have memorials to review. How about you wait for us and have dinner with us at noon?"
Li Shanren said hurriedly: "How dare a humble minister disturb His Majesty's handling of state affairs!"
"Forget it, then we won't keep you." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.
Li Shanren also took the opportunity to leave. He knew very well that the emperor was very entangled in his heart.
He valued Zhu Jun and knew that he had strong military and governance capabilities, but he had some doubts in his heart.
Li Shanren has always wanted to build a golden body for Zhu Jun. He was originally the most staunch princeling, but at this moment, the balance has tilted towards Zhu Jun!
