The Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was extremely rebellious

Chapter 365 Severe Humiliation
There are many strange things in history.

There were even more strange things happening during the two wars between the Ming Dynasty and Japan during the Wanli period.

Not to mention that Toyotomi Hideyoshi suddenly sent an envoy to request peace talks while the war was going on.

Shen Weijing was obviously a traitor who colluded with the Japanese pirates.

This guy actually dared to bring Japanese pirate envoys to the capital for peace talks in broad daylight!

Who gave him the courage?

Historically, it was the Zhejiang Party that gave him the courage.

At that time, Wanli didn't care about the government affairs at all. He was too lazy to take care of the cabinet ministers and the six ministers without him, so naturally he would not care about such a small character who came out of nowhere.

With the support of the Zhejiang Party, Shen Weijing even became the envoy for negotiations between the Ming Dynasty and Japan!
In history, this guy led the Japanese pirates in the Battle of Ulsan but was caught by the secret guards. He was definitely a traitor who collaborated with the enemy and was a traitor to his country.

It is absurd that a traitor who colluded with the Japanese pirates would represent the Ming Dynasty to negotiate with them!
At this moment, Wanli naturally would not let this guy represent the Ming Dynasty to negotiate with the Japanese pirates. He had no intention of negotiating.

The reason why he met with the Japanese envoy was to severely humiliate this guy and anger Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

As for this traitor Shen Weijing, he was unaware that his death was imminent.

This guy actually followed the Japanese envoy and bowed, saying, "Students and Japanese envoys pay their respects to His Majesty."

You are still a scholar, right?
I will humiliate you first, you traitor!
Wanli pretended to be curious and asked, "Who are you?"

Don't you know who I am?

Shen Weijing bowed helplessly and said, "Student Shen Weijing."

Wanli pretended to be curious and asked, "Where are you studying?"

Why are you asking these questions?

Shen Weijing could only explain in detail: "I am a student from Pinghu County, Jiaxing Prefecture, Zhejiang Province."

Wanli still pretended to be curious and asked, "Are you from Zhejiang too? Your last name is Shen too? Are you related to Shen Yiguan?"

What are you talking about?

You can't know about our relationship with Shen Yiquan.

Shen Weijing shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, I am not a relative of Master Shen."

You are not relatives, but accomplices!

Wanli thought about it and pretended to be curious and asked, "What do you do?"

Are you going to meet the Japanese envoy or me?

Shen Weijing said helplessly: "The student is a maritime merchant, specializing in maritime business."

Upon hearing this, Wanli seemed a little surprised and asked, "Why are you doing maritime business in Japan?"

Are you asking this question without knowing the answer?

Shen Weijing explained helplessly: "Your Majesty, Japan is overseas, and students go to Japan to do business."

If you go into this shitty business, you're actually collaborating with the enemy and selling out your country!

Wanli's face suddenly turned stern, and he said coldly: "Don't you know that the Ming Dynasty and Japan are at war right now? Why are you still going to Japan to do business?"

this!

how to explain?

When Shen Weijing heard this, his expression changed.

He seemed to have forgotten about it.

The Ming Dynasty and Japan are at war now, and he still goes to Japan to do business. Isn't that aiding the enemy?
At this moment he really didn't know how to explain it.

Seeing this, Wanli coldly asked, "Who asked you to go?"

Shen Weijing lowered his head, his eyes rolling around for a while, and suddenly an idea struck him: "Your Majesty, the Japanese pirates from Japan want to negotiate, so I asked you to bring an envoy to the capital."

Who are you fooling?
Wanli turned around, stared at the little man and asked coldly, "Who is he?"

Shen Weijing quickly explained, "He is Konishi Fei, the adopted son of Konishi Yukinaga, the general commander of the First Army of Japan. He was sent by the Taiko Toyotomi Hideyoshi to negotiate peace."

Toyotomi Hideyoshi promoted himself?
Wanli feigned doubt and asked, "Peace talks? I haven't even sent out my troops yet, what's the point of peace talks?"

Uh, this.

Don’t the thousands of troops in Yizhou City count?
Shen Weijing thought about it and simply asked Xiao Xifei about it.

Xiao Xifei was stunned when he heard this.

Yes, what are we talking about?

The Ming Dynasty only sent a few thousand troops to garrison the small city of Yizhou, but they sent more than 200,000 troops and almost took over the entire vassal state of Korea.

Why did His Majesty Taiko request peace talks?

Toyotomi Hideyoshi naturally couldn't tell him this.

He was stunned for a long time, then he started chattering and gesturing to Shen Weijing.

Upon hearing this, Shen Weijing quickly explained, "Your Majesty, their rear is being harassed by the remnants of the Korean army and the rebel army, and they are in a very passive position, so they want to negotiate a ceasefire."

You can fight when you say so and stop when you say so?
Wanli sneered, "Didn't Toyotomi Hideyoshi say that he would add Tang territory to our territory as long as he lived? He's asking for peace just as the war has begun. Is he just bragging or just talking nonsense?"

Uh, that's what I said.

Shen Weijing didn't know how to tell Xiao Xifei.

Seeing this, Wanli simply gave a wink to the secret guards around him.

The secret guard in the flying fish uniform immediately started chattering in Japanese and questioned Xiao Xifei.

Xiao Xifei was a little dumbfounded when he heard this.

This is just a bit too much bullshit.

Is His Highness Taiko bragging?
Seeing this, Wanli said with disdain: "Toyotomi Hideyoshi still wants to invade the Ming Dynasty. He can't even defeat the remnants of the Korean army and the rebels. How dare he talk about invading the Ming Dynasty?
"Xiao Xifei, go ask your so-called Taiko Toyotomi Hideyoshi if he still has any shame. He couldn't even defeat the remnants of the Ming Dynasty's vassal state, Korea, and the rebel army, yet he brags about it. Did he get to be called Taiko just by bragging?"

The secret guard didn't even need him to wink, and started chattering away in Japanese to mock him.

Xiao Xifei's face turned green when he heard this.

He thought about it and simply replied in a babble.

The secret guard immediately explained, "Your Majesty, he said it's not that they can't defeat the remnants of the Korean army and the rebels, they are just a little troubled by them."

Upon hearing this, Wanli said with disdain: "Then go and fight. What's the point of just bragging? You can't even defeat the remnants of the Korean army and the rebels of the Ming vassal state. How dare you come to talk to me?
Go back and tell Toyotomi Hideyoshi, stop bragging and go fight the remnants of the Korean vassal state and the rebel army. Only if you win will you be qualified to negotiate with me. If you can't win, don't come to negotiate. Just go find a piece of tofu and kill yourself."

The secret guard mocked Xiao Xifei so vividly that his face turned red.

Eight of you are just mocking us on purpose, right?

The problem is, he doesn't dare to curse.

Shen Weijing had reminded him many times that the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty had a bad temper and would chop people if he was angered.

He could only hold it in.

Seeing this, Wanli suddenly asked again: "Do you want to talk?"

Didn’t you say you are not qualified to talk?
After listening to the secret guard's retelling, Xiao Xifei nodded repeatedly and said, "I think so, I think so."

Wanli held up a finger, rather playfully, and said, "If you can agree to one of my conditions, I am not against negotiating with you."

You're putting forward conditions before we even start talking?

Xiao Xifei was puzzled and asked, "What conditions?"

Wanli said solemnly: "Didn't Toyotomi Hideyoshi say that the Ming Dynasty was like women, and you Japanese pirates were the men?
Now it is proven that our Ming Dynasty is the real boss. Our Ming Dynasty does not marry off princesses, cede land, pledge allegiance, or pay compensation. The emperor guards the national border, and the king dies for the country!

You Japanese pirates are cowards. You can't even defeat the remnants of the soldiers and volunteers from your vassal state, Korea. How dare you run to the Ming Dynasty to ask for peace?

I have never seen women like you, and I really want to meet one.

Go and tell Toyotomi Hideyoshi to put on the most feminine clothes you have in Japan, put on some rouge and powder, and kneel before me so I can take a good look at him, and I will talk to you."

The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country!
My Ming Dynasty is a real man with a strong character and pure character.

The secret guard immediately began to translate with pride on his face.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xifei gritted his teeth secretly and trembled with anger.

Seeing this, Wanli pretended to be serious and asked, "Do you agree to my conditions or not?"

After listening to the secret guard's translation, Xiao Xifei gritted his teeth and shook his head, saying, "This is absolutely impossible."

Upon hearing this, Wanli could not help but sneer and said, "Don't jump to conclusions too quickly. In my opinion, your so-called Taiko Toyotomi Hideyoshi is a shameless woman. He might agree. If you don't believe me, go back and ask."

How dare you humiliate our Lord Taiko in this way!
Deceiving too much!

Xiao Xifei was so angry that he was about to explode.

He didn't dare to get angry at Wanli, so he could only turn around, glare at him, and grit his teeth and say, "Shen Sang, can't you say a word?"

Shen Weijing was puzzled when he saw this.

Why are you angry at me? Your Highness Taiko is really like a woman.

They attacked the vassal state of Korea with such great momentum, but in the end they could not even defeat the remnants of the Korean army and the rebel army, so they ran to the Ming Dynasty to seek peace.

What do you want me to say?
Toyotomi Hideyoshi has been bragging so much and now he wants peace. What should I say?
