"Is this the Japanese king? You can falsely accuse Fei Shenggong with just one word. Just looking at the tributes sent by the Japanese king, you can know that he must not be disguised by others." Zhu Su said, turning directly to Kong Xixue, He looked at the many foreign envoys.
He could also see that these envoys from foreign countries were the reason why Kong Xixue dared to create momentum during the Wanshou Festival.
"I don't understand very well. The Japanese country is deeply troubled by rebellion. Our soldiers are traveling thousands of miles away to help them eliminate evil. What do you have to be afraid of?" Zhu Su put his hands behind his back and kept scanning with a pair of scrutinizing eyes. These many envoys.
"If you sincerely adhere to Ming Dynasty, if there is rebellion in the country in the future, Ming Dynasty will generously help you. This is the ultimate benevolence. Has there been such a benevolent government in the past and present that harms oneself and benefits others?"
"This undoubtedly adds a layer of consolidation to the many foreign kings of the Ming Dynasty. Where can such good things be found? Why are you here seeking life and death, disturbing the joy of my father's longevity festival?"
After all, a group of envoys have never seen much of the world, so they can't understand the twists and turns. After Zhu Su said this, he looked at the Japanese king of Houguishan. He had a flattering look on his face, without any intention of retorting, and he couldn't help but start to waver.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zheng Mengzhou, the envoy of Goryeo, hurriedly came out to salute and said: "His Royal Highness King Wu of our country is kind to you. We are not deliberately misinterpreting your country's good intentions. In fact, your country went to conquer Japan, and what you did was really... excessive." . It’s hard to believe that your country is really trying to protect the Japanese country.”
"Moreover, your country bribed General Li Chenggui of our court to occupy Tamna Island in Goryeo..."
"Wait a minute." Zhu Su stopped Zheng Mengzhou who was talking.
"When did Tamna Island become your Goryeo?"
"Your Highness, you don't know. Tamna Island has been our territory since ancient times. It was the former Yuan Dynasty that was violently plundered..."
"In other words, this Tamluo is the land of the former Yuan Dynasty?" Zhu Su spread his hands and looked like the truth was revealed. "In this case, when we, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, opened the Yuan Dynasty and founded our country, we once made a sacrifice to heaven and earth, clearly stating that our Ming Dynasty would inherit the foundation of the Yuan Dynasty. Now we are sending troops to conquer Tamluo Island. What's wrong with that?"
"If you Koreans thought this was your Korean land, why didn't you send troops to take it back when the Yuan Dynasty was here? Instead, you devoted yourself to serving the Tatar master. And today, you accuse me of this, the Ming Dynasty?"
"Do you think that the Ming Dynasty is easier to bully than the former Yuan Dynasty, and you want to take back this island with nothing? Or do you think that the Qian Yuan Dynasty is still orthodox and that the Ming Dynasty is not worthy of this destiny?"
"This... the foreign minister dare not!" Zheng Mengzhou quickly apologized.
He thought for a while and decided not to dwell on this topic that was likely to get him killed. Instead, he turned to the situation of Japan: "Your Highness, even though Tamluo was there for a reason, the Ming Dynasty established Yingzhou in Japan. Xuanwei Division, accepting more than half of the land, this move..."
"More than half of the land is accepted? How do you say this? Most of the land under the jurisdiction of the Xuanwei Division of Yingzhou is a concession. What is a concession? It is the territory that our Ming Dynasty rents from the Japanese country to settle the people of our Ming Dynasty." Righteous and confident. "How did I, the Ming Dynasty, take away even a single cent of the land of the vassal state? The Japanese king is here, you can ask me. If you don't believe it, Goryeo and the Japanese country are separated by a sea, so they will not send envoys to investigate ?"
Zhu Laowu was of course confident that even if the lease date was nine hundred and ninety-nine, it was indeed a lease. The Ming Dynasty did not covet the land of Japan at all. On the contrary, the Ming Dynasty not only put down the rebellion that had been difficult to suppress for the past century for the Japanese country, but also established the Yingzhou Xuanwei Division to run the concession, which in disguise allowed the Japanese country to benefit from the Ming Dynasty's favor.
This kind of kindness is enough to show that the Ming Dynasty is not only not militaristic, but also a teacher of benevolence and righteousness and a state of etiquette.
"Also, Zheng Mengzhou, don't think that I don't know this. Wang You, the king of Goryeo, was first canonized by Yuanting, and then was canonized by my Ming Dynasty and became king. Now, although you, Goryeo, have changed the uniform of my Ming Dynasty, you are still the first rat. Both ends... Wang Yu met with the envoys of the Yuan Court a few days ago and resumed his attitude towards the Yuan Dynasty. He intended to hide it from the Ming Dynasty and become a villain... Is that right?" Zhu Su scolded.
"You...how do you know!" Zheng Mengzhou was shocked, as if he was a ghost.
"How brave!" Zhu Biao took a step forward and expressed his admiration for Zhu Suzhuang. He was an upright man and couldn't bear this kind of behavior. With an angry look on his face, he asked Zhu Su, "Fifth brother, are you telling the truth? How dare he deceive me, the Ming Dynasty, like this?"
"Whether it is true or not, you can tell by looking at the Goryeo envoy." Zhu Su pursed his lips to Zheng Mengzhou.
Of course, he didn't know whether the King of Goryeo received the Yuanting envoy, but he knew that in later history, the faint king of Goryeo, Wang You, had done such ridiculous things. At this time, he used his bluff, and it turned out that the inside story was revealed.
This Goryeo actually dares to play with Ming Dynasty like a monkey!
"Okay. That's great. After receiving the title of Yuanting, you still dare to send envoys to our Ming Dynasty." Lao Zhu, who had been listening, opened his mouth and spoke. His voice was calm, but it chilled people to the bone. "You colluded with Yuanting and became Yuanting's lackey. That's why you took advantage of our Wanshou opportunity to make alarmist remarks and wanted to incite other vassals to deal with me, the Ming Dynasty."
"What a good plan, what a good plan. The King of Korea is so courageous!"
"If he takes refuge in Yuanting, isn't he afraid that our Ming Dynasty's heavenly soldiers will arrive overnight?"
The last words were like thunder, exploding above the entire palace.
"Your Majesty, no, it's not like that..." Zheng Mengzhou was so frightened that he knelt down. He didn't even care about the confused looks cast by the envoys from other countries behind him. He quickly opened his mouth to defend Goryeo and said, "That's not the case. This is all done by the treacherous ministers of our Goryeo Kingdom."
"However, the treacherous ministers were powerful, and they used the 'pioneering and enterprising' teachings of the new country as an excuse to falsely accuse the Ming Dynasty of wanting to annex Goryeo, and used this to persuade the king..."
"It is precisely in order to prevent our country, Goryeo, from rebelling against the Ming Dynasty that the foreign ministers came up with this strategy. As long as I can teach your majesty to abolish the new learning, my country, Goryeo, will never rebel again, your majesty!"
Oh, so that's the reason. No wonder Zheng Mengzhou was making alarmist remarks every day, encouraging us to join him in remonstrating... It was only then that the envoys from foreign countries suddenly realized that the rhetoric that Zheng Mengzhou had made up was all for the sake of Goryeo, and he was taking advantage of their poor people. of foreigners. At this time, their eyes suddenly became filled with anger when they looked at Zheng Mengzhou.
Because we were deceived by this guy, we actually offended His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty!
"Never rebel again? Oh, who can believe the words of the traitor?" Lao Zhu's eyes were full of anger. Zheng Mengzhou, shrouded in huge imperial power, was trembling, and he was covered in cold sweat and almost fainted from dehydration. "We won't kill you today. Go back and tell your king who is willing to be a slave to the Tatars. The wise man tied his hands and feet, took off his clothes and carried thorn sticks on his back, and went all the way to our Yingtian Palace to kowtow to the Nine Nine Eights Ring your head eleven times and apologize to us."
"If we happen to be in a good mood that day, we can still spare the lives of those dogs in Korea."
"But if you dare not come, hum."
"Your Master Beiyuan's broken king's tent is running fast enough, and we may not be able to reach it. But it's just a Koryo country..."
"If we send out a large number of soldiers at will, we will be able to plow the courtyard and sweep out the holes, and we will defeat you first!"
