King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 386: Ancestral rules, is it important?

"what?"

In the imperial study room.

Suddenly there was a burst of surprised voices.

All the Japanese envoys looked at Zhu Gaoxu in disbelief.

No?

What the hell?
They all apologized and admitted their mistakes.

Isn’t this attitude and this posture enough?

What kind of attitude and reasonable solution do you want?
Please!

In your Ming Dynasty, only an insignificant civilian died.

Because of this incident, Japan was implicated and dozens of people died!
Moreover, they are all officials from their country of Japan, and among them there are one or two people in high positions, one of whom is a member of the Japanese royal family.

how?

Does this mean that these dozens of Japanese envoys are not as good as a common citizen or a pariah in the Ming Dynasty?
Don’t bully people like this, right?

In an instant.

The Japanese envoys, who had come to their senses, could no longer sit still.

He looked around with indignation at the ministers in the hall, and then fixed his eyes on Zhu Gaoxu and the Crown Prince on the high platform, and said:

"Prince Han...His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

"Your actions..."

The words have not yet fallen.

Ashikaga Yoshimochi, who was standing in front of the delegation, interrupted them with an angry rebuke:

"Bastard thing!"

"Shut up, everyone."

"You have no right to speak here."

"Do you understand the rules?"

Sudden changes.

The Japanese envoy was originally filled with righteous indignation and tried to express his dissatisfaction.

All of them looked at the leader Ashikaga Yoshimochi with an expression of surprise.

However, after meeting his cold gaze, those who were originally filled with righteous indignation calmed down in an instant.

Although everyone was very dissatisfied with this in their hearts, they had to keep silent and did not dare to say anything more.

no way.

The Ming Dynasty court has no control over them, so these people have nothing to fear.

But the people in the Japanese delegation knew better than anyone else how ruthless and powerful Ashikaga Yoshimochi was.

For this reason, they dared not disobey Ashikaga Yoshimochi's call.

They all shut up awkwardly, lowered their heads and stood quietly at the back, looking extremely humble.

Until the dissatisfaction of the accompanying personnel in the rear was suppressed.

The expression on Ashikaga Yoshimochi's face changed. His gloomy and introverted expression disappeared, replaced by a calm and composed face. He looked humble and modest. He slowly raised his head and bowed slightly to the people in the hall, saying:

"Your Highness the Crown Prince... Prince Han... My Lords."

"I'm so sorry."

"My subordinates are negligent in discipline, do not know the rules, and speak recklessly. I hope you will not take it seriously and forgive their ignorance."

After hearing this.

The six ministers who were about to speak out and charge into battle against the Japanese delegation saw the situation before them.

I had to suppress the words that were about to come out of my mouth.

After all, others have already said this, what else can they do?
It's impossible to keep harping on this matter.

Of course, the most important point is that the two gentlemen on the stage also gave them a subtle look to stop them at this moment.

to this end.

There is no need for them to speak out.

At the same time, they all had a deep understanding of the sinister methods used by Zhu Gaoxu, the Prince of Han, over the past few days.

I know that Prince of Han Zhu Gaoxu is not a good person.

Their methods are no worse than theirs.

For this reason, I feel very relieved.

Zhu Gaoxu, sitting on the high platform, waved at Ashikaga Yoshimochi with a smile on his face:

"No problem."

"This king understands."

"Since the Ashikaga envoy is acting like this, if nothing unexpected happens, he must have approved of the suggestion I just made!"

Upon hearing this, Ashikaga Yoshimochi slowly straightened up, half-closed his eyes and stared at Zhu Gaoxu for a long time without hesitation, then nodded:

"A proposal to the prince."

"We are indeed terrified by what the envoy did last time."

"There really should be a reasonable way to handle and resolve it."

"From the perspective of the prince and the Celestial Empire, I completely understand."

Having said this, he paused, and suddenly changed the subject, his voice becoming a little hoarse as he said:
"I wonder how your Highness thinks we should handle this matter."

"To eliminate the impact of our country's previous envoys?"

"Please make it clear, Your Majesty."

The words are sincere.

It can be said that he put his posture extremely low.

However, the more this happens, the more it proves that Japan has a big agenda in this move.

There must be some unspeakable secret.

But this doesn't matter to Zhu Gaoxu.

After all, no matter what these Japanese bastards are planning, or what dirty things they are planning behind the scenes.

Just humanely destroy these dirty, filthy bastards.

The country will be destroyed and all the conspiracies and tricks will disappear into thin air.

It will not have any impact on the Ming Dynasty.

But let’s just do the full set, that’s all I have to say.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled helplessly and waved his hand at him:

“It’s easy to deal with this.”

“As the saying goes: Money makes the world go round.”

“As long as there is adequate compensation, sincere compensation.”

"I think not only the people of our Celestial Empire will have no objections, but we can also take this opportunity to let those surrounding vassal states know the attitude of our Great Ming."

"What do you think, Ashikaga envoy?"

Same problem.

Zhu Gaoxu did not make a decision directly, but threw the issue directly to Ashikaga Yoshimochi and let him decide for himself.

Of course, letting him decide for himself does not really mean letting him decide.

But it is this so-called decision.

Zhu Gaoxu must be satisfied.

otherwise.

This so-called decision naturally has no effect.

In this regard.

Faced with the questions thrown back by Zhu Gaoxu, how could Ashikaga Yoshimochi, who was such a smart man, not understand the implied meaning of his words?
He paused for a moment.

Ashikaga Yoshimochi suddenly opened his half-closed eyes, his expression suddenly became extremely serious, and he spoke in a low voice:

"Yes."

"What Prince Han said makes sense."

"Because of the incident with the envoy last time, our country is willing to pay one million taels of silver to eliminate the influence our country has brought to the Celestial Empire and to make up for the damage done to the relationship between our two countries by our envoy."

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince of Han, and all the gentlemen."

"I wonder if you are satisfied with my way of handling the matter and my approach."

Another one million taels of silver were thrown out lightly.

There was absolutely no hesitation, no reluctance at all.

This local tycoon, with his attitude like a nouveau riche, made all the Ming officials in the hall extremely envious.

How often have they wished they could be so heroic?

They would just talk about throwing away millions or even tens of millions of taels of silver without even blinking an eye.

but
It seems that such a heroic opportunity should not be too far away from people like them.

After all, Zhu Gaoxu, the Crown Prince, and even Emperor Yongle, the three decision-makers in the court, had already reached a consensus on this matter. Now, together with the six ministers, the people with the highest power in the court except the emperor and the princes, they also chose to agree to the team without any hesitation.

This is the case.

It can be said that this matter is already a done deal. There is almost no one in the entire Ming Dynasty who can change this matter.

so.
Once Japan is conquered, the capital of these Japanese people's heroism will naturally become theirs.

oh.
It should not be theirs, but the Ming Dynasty court's.

Of course, as important officials of the Ming Dynasty court, they could drink meat and drink wine while the court was eating meat and drinking wine, so they could naturally follow behind and drink some soup and eat some meat scraps, which was actually quite good.

To Ashikaga Yoshimochi’s answer.

The ministers suppressed their restlessness and excitement and said nothing more. Instead, they looked at Zhu Gaoxu and the Crown Prince on the podium and waited for their answers.

Afterwards, Zhu Gaoxu and the Crown Prince looked at each other and smiled, without dwelling on this issue too much.

There is no other reason.

Judging from the eager reactions of the ministers below the stage, the goal that the two of them wanted had obviously been achieved.

"Okay!"

"That's good."

"Messenger Ashikaga, you are very sensible and have a good sense of the big picture."

"This prince and the prince are extremely satisfied with what you said and did."

Having said this, he paused, suddenly changed the subject, and continued:
"In that case."

"Just do it!"

"As for the cooperation on refined salt, I will immediately arrange for someone to prepare the contract."

"Once everything is sorted out, I will send someone to notify you."

"Do you have any objections?"

Get a definite answer.

Upon hearing this, Ashikaga Yoshimochi had no intention of taking him away.

There is nothing more to say.

After all, nothing happened in Yu Yu's study today.

The shameless behavior of Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaochi and a group of ministers really disgusted him.

For this reason, I don't want to stay here any longer.

Otherwise, if he stayed any longer, he really didn't know whether he would do something even more shameless and disgusting.

of course.

Ashikaga Yoshimochi could not guarantee what would happen if any other incident occurred.

With my own self-cultivation, can I really hold back and not swear?

and so……

Plan for today.

Leaving and letting yourself calm down is the best option.

After that, Ashikaga Yoshimochi was stunned for a moment, bowed slightly, saluted to everyone, and said:
"I have no objection."

"Everything is up to the prince and His Highness."

Say it.

The Japanese delegation did not hesitate at all.

The group turned around and walked out quickly.

Wait until everyone disappears.

After a while.

The originally silent hall suddenly erupted into a deafening laugh.

"Good good!"

"Okay!"

None of the six ministers involved in this matter could sit still any longer.

Everyone stood up from their chairs excitedly, with smiles on their faces.

Seeing the excited expressions of the crowd, Zhu Gaoxu and the Crown Prince couldn't help but look at each other and burst into laughter.

Wait until the ministers' emotions have almost dissipated.

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand towards everyone, and half-jokingly scolded:

"okay."

"That's almost it."

"Everyone is acting like this, but this is still the right attitude."

Talking, talking.

For some reason, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but laugh as well.

The ministers who came back to their senses also realized their own loss of composure in an instant. They gathered their minds in a moment and calmed themselves down quickly. There was still a hint of excitement and desire in their expressions. They stared straight at Zhu Gaoxu and the Crown Prince and asked:

"Your Highness the Crown Prince... Prince Han..."

"When will we take action against Japan?"

After hearing this.

Zhu Gaoxu took in everyone's expressions and couldn't help laughing. He said jokingly:
"Look at how anxious you are."

"Didn't I just say that?"

"King Zhao is on his way to respond to Tianfu City."

"When King Zhao returns, we will discuss the expedition to Japan."

"but……"

Having said this, he paused, his expression suddenly became serious, and then he changed the subject and continued:

"Since you all have no objection to sending troops to Japan."

"Then we still need to prepare some things in advance."

Afterwards, he looked at the Minister of Revenue Xia Yuanji and the Minister of Works who were presenting gifts, and instructed:

"Master Xia..."

"The Ministry of Revenue must raise supplies... and must not be negligent in the slightest."

"Prepare these things in advance, and send troops as soon as the time is confirmed."

"Master Song..."

"The Ministry of Industry must produce all kinds of military supplies at the fastest speed to meet the military needs of the Northern Expedition as quickly as possible, and at the same time, it must also meet the military needs of the expedition to Japan."

“Because the expedition to Japan is far away and separated by a vast ocean, the quality of all types of ships must be strictly controlled.”

"This is the key to whether our expedition to Japan will be successful or not."

"If you need money during this period, you can submit a petition."

"This king will review it for you."

"Master Jin..."

"The Ministry of War is responsible for coordinating the remaining generals and soldiers across the country, excluding the Northern Expedition."

"Soldiers for the expedition to Japan must be strictly screened, and those who can swim will be given priority."

"The rest of you, stay back."

"As for the other three ministries, they will cooperate with the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of War within their limited authority."

"Do you have any objections?"

This statement came out.

objection?

What kind of objection is there?

Everyone was so excited that this problem no longer existed.

They were all eager to send troops immediately to destroy Japan and then take possession of the huge amount of silver mines in Japan.

And in their view, how could a small country like Japan, a tiny country, be qualified or worthy of possessing so much money and silver?

Only the Ming Dynasty is qualified to own such a thing.

As for the unconquered country set by Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, the so-called ancestral system had long been forgotten by them.

No one mentioned this matter again at all.

There is no other reason.

The benefits are enough.
