I am the king of the dead

Chapter 394 Your Majesty prefers Daming women

When Zhu Qiyu saw this Tomiko Hino, he immediately felt that something was wrong.

This face was covered with a thick powder, white and frightening, as scary as it could be.

I don't know but I thought it crawled out of that well!

Hino Tomiko saluted and said, "See Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please be safe."

Zhu Qiyu's eyes widened suddenly, and he sat back and said, "Xing'an, take Zhengshi down to wash your face and brush your teeth first! You know it's a person, but you don't know it and you think it's a ghost!"

Thanks to Zhu Qiyu being an adult, this kid doesn't have nightmares after seeing him?
Because Tomiko Hino actually has two black spots on her forehead, white face and black teeth!
Exactly like a ghost!

Zhu Qiyu couldn't accept this kind of aesthetics at all, picked up his water glass, and drank several sips in a row, which was regarded as suppressing the irritability in his heart.

This kind of makeup is so weird that Zhu Qiyu's heart is very manic.

"What kind of makeup is this? It scares me to death!" Zhu Qiyu was still feeling chills.

"Hey..." Hino Fuko was dragged away, and Xing'an asked the old maid in the palace to wash her up and down, inside and out, and changed into Da Ming's clothes.

Hu Wei met the Japanese envoy and said with a smile, "That's the custom."

"The black spot on the forehead is called Yinxiaomei. In order to hide the emotions, I will pull out all the eyebrows and put black spots on the forehead. The white face can show my identity. The black teeth... I am incompetent, no know why."

If Hu Yan really wanted to know, it wouldn't be a difficult task, he just didn't want to know.

"Your Majesty didn't ask Katsumoto Hosokawa to raise his head, and he would dress like this if he raised his head." Hu Wei explained.

Zhu Qiyu shuddered, this would be a constant nightmare.

It didn't take long for Tomiko Hino to walk in again, and she changed into a normal dress, which immediately looked more pleasing to the eye.

The lips are red and the teeth are white, and the teeth look like they are brushed frequently, and they are not as scary as the black teeth just now.

Remove makeup, much better than makeup.

"Disturbing the holy car, I'm terrified." Fuko Hino was terrified. She was going to use her status as a marriage contract to see if she could take a chance and spend a little time with the emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Some men like this one.

The Hino family and the Muromachi shogunate were indeed intermarried from generation to generation. A dragon son of the Ming emperor was much more noble than an intermarriage with the Muromachi shogunate.

But obviously, she didn't even think about it, she scared His Majesty the moment they met.

"The small country of Japan, Cuer, is reckless and ignores enlightenment. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Tomiko Hino bowed again.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said: "Although I, Da Ming, respect the customs of all parties, in Da Ming, I don't want to dress up like this anymore. If I'm a good person, I have to dress up like a ghost. What if I scare the children?"

Zhu Qiyu didn't let Hino Fuko die, he continued to say: "I gave you the sample banknotes of the Daming Treasure, have you ever seen it?"

Hino Fuko bowed again, and hurriedly said: "I have read it myself, and it is precisely because I have read it that I agree to your majesty's banknote law."

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "The new banknotes are different from the old banknotes. No matter in terms of material, anti-counterfeiting or exquisiteness, they are far superior to the old banknotes. They are also light, easy to use, and easy to manage, aren't they?"

Hino Fuko bowed again, and asked softly: "The new banknotes are so good, why doesn't Your Majesty use them in Daming?"

Hu Wei was taken aback for a moment, Tomiko Hino's verbal skills were much better than Katsumoto Hosokawa's.

But Zhu Qiyu said nonchalantly: "The two countries are different. The Ming Dynasty has a vast land and abundant resources, and the money method is convenient for the north and the south. The Wa country is a small country, and the banknote method is available."

Hino Tomiko paid homage again, and said helplessly, "Your Majesty has a high opinion."

Only when the land is vast and the resources are abundant can the law be used and is conducive to commerce and trade. The emperor is obviously talking nonsense.

Wouldn't it be boring to mess around with the Emperor of Ming Dynasty?

Zhu Qiyu always felt weird, he finally found the weirdness, and said: "Can you just say goodbye once!"

"Isn't this the etiquette of the heavenly kingdom?" Tomiko Hino wanted to worship again, but stopped abruptly.

Zhu Qiyu was full of doubts and said: "Who told you that? Heavenly Dynasty Shangguo, if you say a word back, you have to kowtow once?"

"Hu Shangshu? Or Yang Qing?"

Hu Yan shook his head and looked at Yang Shan, Yang Shan shook his head again, and looked at Tomiko Hino.

Hino Tomiko was a little sluggish, and whispered: "My father said so."

"Okay, don't kowtow, just sit down on your knees." Zhu Qiyu was helpless, this was like a hammer, just to say, kowtow to the head is really paradoxical.

Zhu Qiyu continued: "No matter how bad the banknote method is, your Japanese country will not be able to make the same one. At least ten years, it will be impossible to imitate it at all. Therefore, whether the banknote method is good or the money method, it is better than nothing."

"Ten years..." Tomiko Hino sighed and said, "Your Majesty thinks highly of Wa Kingdom."

"Give the Japanese country another hundred years or 200 years, and it will be impossible to imitate it. Your Majesty does not know the suffering of the barbarians. When this kind of paper arrives in the Japanese country, its price is even more expensive than the face value of banknotes."

"It's a pity that such a good paper is just cut and printed like this."

Tomiko Hino tightly held the new banknotes tightly.

Does Japan have copper coins?There are, but Japanese copper coins are not even as good as Daming's flying coins.

In Japan, only Yongle Tongbao and Xuande Tongbao can be regarded as general equivalents.

"I remember that there is tissue paper among the tributes of the Japanese country?" Zhu Qiyu frowned. This Fuko Hino is making a low profile enough, hoping the emperor will forgive him?

Yang Shan bowed his head and said: "There is paper in the tributes of North Korea, called Gaoli tribute paper. Even in North Korea, it is not a big sacrifice, so it is not used."

"There is no Wa country."

It is precisely because there is no Wa country that it is called a wild dog by the North Korean people.

Gaoli tribute paper, Zhu Qiyu has used a kind of tribute paper, it is true, but it is not as easy to use as Daming paper.

"The power of the Muromachi shogunate is gradually declining, what's going on with those guardian daimyos?" Zhu Qiyu asked about the business.

The power of the Muromachi shogunate continued to weaken. There were two internal and external factors. One factor was that the sixth general Ashikaga Yoshimasa went to the Akamatsu family for a banquet and his head was chopped off, and the other was the protection of the daimyo.

Tomiko Hino told the story one by one.

Around the seventh century, Japan began to enter the feudal era, that is, feudalism in the literal sense. It learned from the Tang Dynasty's system of rent adjustment and mediocrity, and imitated the bantian collection and teaching method.

The foundation of the rent adjustment system is the land equalization system of the Tang Dynasty. If the land equalization system is destroyed, then the rent adjustment system will be impossible to talk about.

Ban Tian of the Wa Kingdom received and taught the law. From the very beginning, the land in the world was collected as state-owned, and the land was awarded by signing the letter of appointment. Those who signed the letter of appointment became the masters.

The small master was annexed, and the daimyo was conferred by the shogun as a guardian, so it is called guardian daimyo.

In fact, when this method of receiving and teaching in the field was first implemented, it was fundamentally wrong. Rather than saying that it was more like the rent adjustment system of the Tang Dynasty, it was more like the well field system nearly 2000 years ago.

Zhu Qiyu understood the cause and effect. The current situation of the Wa country, if it is really forced to be compared, is a bit like the era of the separatist regime at the end of the Tang Dynasty.

The decline and fall of the Muromachi Shogunate has become an established fact, because the guardian daimyo has already started a chaotic war.

Zhu Qiyu lost interest in supporting the Muromachi shogunate. In fact, supporting a comprador regime is much cheaper than fighting by himself, and the cost of rule is much lower, and the benefits are also great.

The Wa country has already started a chaotic war, and the comprador regime has to knock down the whole house before it can start to support it.

"The small country of Quer, where is the benefit? The system of the country is like a duckweed in the water, without roots and roots, so it is naturally full of chaos." Fuko Hino said with a bitter expression.

How can the kingdom of heaven understand the suffering of the small country of Cuoer?

Zhu Qiyu nodded, and he said quite seriously: "Don't let the matter of the Japanese country grow again. From next year, if it is discovered again, it will be sent to Jiejieyuan."

This kind of thing is of no benefit to Daming, on the contrary they gathered a bunch of women as spies to collect information.

Daming does not take advantage of this kind of thing, because they are pregnant and have children, most of them will be brought back to Japan.

Zhu Qiyu is undoubtedly warning, this is not a threat, but telling them the consequences of doing so.

"The concubine is in charge." Tomiko Hino said hastily.

In addition to being a kind of espionage, this kind of business is still a business, which has always been controlled by the Hino family. There are more than a thousand people on this tribute ship, and no one can board the ship if they want to. The Hino family has decided on their names.

No one cared about it before, but now His Majesty has said well, if he doesn't know how to repent, His Majesty will not show mercy.

Zhu Qiyu nodded. Tomiko Hino and Katsumoto Hosokawa had different positions.

That Hosokawa Katsumoto couldn't speak a single serious word other than being incompetent and furious.

Zhu Qiyu continued to speak: "How much do you shogunate and the Hino family know about the Confucian government's work in the Japanese silver mine, write it down and send it to Beizhen Fusi."

"Retire if nothing happens."

Hino Tomiko was unwilling, but she didn't know how to speak, so she left the side hall.

Zhu Qiyu continued to discuss with Yu Qian and others about the prime minister's departure from the state department.

In some articles, the "state department" in Han Feizi's sentence was mistakenly written as "state county".

"State and county" is an ancient high-level administrative division, and its chief is the shepherd of the state.

The state and county system first appeared in the fifth year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (106 BC).

Obviously, "states and counties" and "departures" are not at the same level.

Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian had discussed this matter once before, but the time was not ripe at that time, but now it is time to come up with a charter.

Even if they went to various prefectures to be promoted officials, they would still be at the seventh rank, and Zhu Qiyu planned to send them to other places to practice.

Wenyuan Pavilion is now in charge of the examination method, and the real power has greatly increased. If Wenyuan Pavilion, which was originally a secretary, still follows the ancestral system and chooses from Wenlin Lang, it will inevitably screen out a bunch of empty talkers. This is not the situation Zhu Qiyu wants to see.

This matter is difficult to say, but it is actually simple. The emperor will probably bear the infamy of treating scholars harshly.

Is Zhu Qiyu worried about notoriety?

He is not worried at all.

It was not until noon that Zhu Qiyu and Xing'an rode their horses towards Tai'an Palace. After lunch, they would go to the lecture hall.

After Xing'an followed His Majesty back to Tai'an Palace, he said in a low voice, "Tomiko Hino is planning to come to His Majesty's place to spend time here."

Xing'an has eyes and ears, so he naturally knows why Tomiko Hino insists on facing the saint.

I just hoped to amaze His Majesty all at once, but when we met, I obviously disturbed Sheng Jia.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said: "It's good that the emperor's uncle is in Beijing, let the emperor's uncle go to plant."

"Ah?" Xing'an smiled, then shook his head.

His Majesty obviously has no interest in this Tomiko Hino. His Majesty's lack of interest in this kind of thing is the only criterion.

Zhu Qiyu was about to go to the dining room to prepare a meal, but saw Ran Siniang head-on.

She was wearing a veiled hat and was about to leave Tai'an Palace. The wind blew the veiled hat, revealing half of her pretty face, and she was a bit embarrassed to speak.

Her fear is always a kind of fear that makes people want to bully.

Zhu Qiyu stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Ran Siniang who looked like a frightened deer.

Ran Siniang hurriedly saluted, and said in a low voice, "Chen Xuanshi is sick, so my concubine came to the palace to give Chen Xuanshi a diagnosis."

Zhu Qiyu nodded and asked: "I see, what happened to Chen Xuanshi?"

Ran Siniang thought for a while and replied: "I'm not acclimatized to the climate. The weather in the north is dry. Chen Xuanshi comes from a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. I'm not used to it for a while, so it's okay."

Chen Wanniang was not in good health at first, and she was a bit uncomfortable from Nan Ya to Bei Ya, but she had already passed the level of acclimatization, and she had already started clamoring for bedtime in the past few days.

"Are you okay in Tai Hospital?" Zhu Qiyu asked about Ran Siniang's life in Tai Hospital.

After all, Ran Siniang is thousands of miles away, so it's not easy to be alone in the capital.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy, Ran Siniang is in the imperial hospital...excellent, the Lu court judged that I have the talent to study medicine." Ran Siniang replied hastily.

Lu Zicai spoke highly of Ran Siniang's medical skills and talent.

Now Lu Zicai was relieved to let Ran Siniang see a doctor for the palace people in Tai'an Palace.

Of course, it's just the palace people. If there is quality and rank, it's Lu Zi who will come to see it in person.

When standing together, Zhu Qiyu realized that Ran Siniang actually looked petite, but she was also quite tall. Standing in front of Zhu Qiyu, she could reach the bridge of his nose.

A strong scent of herbs surrounds Ran Siniang. It is not the bitter taste of boiled Chinese medicine, but the aroma of herbs, and there is also the scent of flowers mixed in it.

Zhu Qiyu suddenly stretched out his hand, as if to pick off Ran Siniang's veil.

Ran Siniang didn't know whether to dodge or cooperate for a moment, she froze in place, and said softly, "Ei (ei)..."

Zhu Qiyu moved his hand from the lower curtain of the veiled hat, swept across Ran Siniang's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Spring is here, and there is a bee, probably mistakenly thinking that Miss Ran is the pistil, so it came to gather honey."

Under Ran Siniang's hood, her face turned red, even her ears were red, she gritted her teeth tightly, and hurriedly saluted and said, "I will resign."

After finishing speaking, Ran Siniang hurriedly left Tai'an Palace as if she was running away.

"Your Majesty, Miss Ran and the Yang family of Bozhou are also feuds, and she also hates the Yang family of Bozhou. Does this mean that she will be summoned to the palace in another day?" Xing'an asked His Majesty what he meant.

As Da Dang, the position of Flower and Bird Envoy is also an important function.

Is the heir important?If it is important, Huaniaoshi is an important position.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile, "No hurry."

Xing'an knew it immediately, His Majesty didn't say no, but not in a hurry, this word difference is enough.

As His Majesty's Da Dang, he didn't have this awareness at all, and he was overthrown by his disciples and grandchildren long ago.

For example, His Majesty didn't mean anything to Tomiko Hino when he was doing business. He said that he was persecuting the emperor's uncle, but when he met Ran Siniang, he was full of smiles and it was even more pleasing to the eye.

Indeed, His Majesty asked Katsumoto Hosokawa in Fengtian Hall, women from Japan are better-looking than women from Ming Dynasty?
In comparison, His Majesty prefers Daming women.

At this time, Hosokawa Katsumoto asked Tomiko Hino who was wearing a heavy veiled hat: "How is it? When you saw Your Majesty, did Your Majesty rush forward immediately?"

Hino Tomiko said extremely disappointed: "Never."

"Is it the appearance?" Hosokawa Katsumoto asked in great puzzlement.

Hino Tomiko said dejectedly: "No, it's... etiquette."

The Hino family has been a famous Confucian family for generations. They are the family that is best at etiquette in the Wa Kingdom. However, in this field that she is best at, Hino Tomiko's visit to Ming Dynasty caused a great sense of frustration.

Hosokawa Katsumoto's eyes widened, and he said dully, "Etiquette?"

　At least three changes today!
