Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 611 Dare to insult me, Daming, hit me!

It's another bloodbath!

Zhang Ziduan's head is in a different place.

The faces of the imperial officials present were pale, and at the same time, they were secretly thinking about the words of His Majesty the Emperor:
"The establishment of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is to strive for greater interests for Ming Dynasty through non-military means!"

It was the first time for Ma Shiying and other Ming officials to hear such a definition. In their previous understanding, Daming was the suzerain state, and it was right to give preferential treatment to the surrounding vassal states and even sacrifice their interests.

But at this moment, they discovered that what Daming should value in dealing with foreign feudal clans is interests.

"The Yongjia Rebellion, the Anshi Rebellion, and even the fact that Jianlu almost destroyed our Ming Dynasty, these are all tragedies that happened when foreign captives disrupted our Huaxia. Before the tragedy happened, whether it was the Western Jin Dynasty or Li Tang or our Ming Dynasty , Why don't you treat these foreign captives more preferentially, but you don't understand what the consequences are!
Non-my family, its heart must be different!The law of the jungle is the law of the jungle!If you want to bring great harmony to the Ming Dynasty, you want the people to abide by the law and not rebel, and the officials and gentry are rich and honored for generations, so you can only take the benefits of foreigners to realize China!And sacrificing the interests of China in order to achieve peace in the world is no different from a farmer holding a snake and being eaten by a poisonous snake;
You always say that it is an ominous thing to use swords and weapons, and it is unkind to sacrifice human life. What is the role of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? It is to enable you to maintain the dignity of the Ming Empire without using weapons, and win more for the people of Ming Dynasty from foreign vassals. Interests;
Pit him with an acre of land today, talk about his city tomorrow, this is a truly outstanding diplomat, even if necessary, I can let the imperial army cooperate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to do things, and let you sing the main tune! "

When Zhu Youjian said this, the officials of the empire had to think carefully.

They had to admit that they had never heard such a point of view, but they couldn't help but admit that what His Majesty said seemed to make sense, and it could not be said that it was not deafening.

"Thinking about China for thousands of years, until now I have ruled China in the Ming Dynasty. There have been times of great chaos. The root cause is that it is not strong externally and not lenient internally. The so-called benevolence should be treated to the people of the country, while tyranny should be dealt with. Foreigner barbarians, His Majesty's hadith today, I'm waiting for you to be enlightened!"

After Ma Shiying finished speaking, he knelt down:

"Chen, Ma Shiying, listen respectfully to the hadith!"

"Chen, Li Yan, listen respectfully to the hadith!"

"My minister, Huang Zongxi, respectfully listen to the hadith!"

"Chen, Qu Shisi, listen respectfully to the hadith!"

"Your Majesty, Wang Fuzhi, respectfully listen to the hadith!"

……

Because of Ma Shiying's explanation, the imperial officials present also understood, and at the same time sincerely followed Ma Shiying to salute Emperor Ming Dynasty Zhu Youjian and asked for advice.

Under the dazzling brilliance, the vermilion Forbidden City was plated with a layer of gold. Seeing this, Zhu Youjian couldn't help smiling.

At this time, most of those who can still stay in the court are no longer pedantic people, and basically have maintained the same political philosophy as Zhu Youjian, the great Ming emperor.

Zhu Youjian is confident that he can lead the Ming Empire to a brighter future with them!

The officials and assistant officials of Yangzhou and Nanjing also escaped punishment.

But this major case did not leave too much haze for the empire. On the contrary, because of the blood in the peaceful and prosperous times, the rulers of Ming Dynasty understood a lot of truths and saw the road ahead of the empire.

On behalf of the cabinet and the Police Headquarters, Yi Lianqi made a public speech on this major case, and invited hundreds of newspapers and media throughout the Ming Dynasty, and immediately let the scholars and people in the entire Ming Dynasty know why the imperial court wanted to kill two ministers in a row. The people of Daming saw the court's determination to safeguard the interests of the people.

In this way, the domestic cohesion of Ming Dynasty was further strengthened.

……

About half a month later, Ma Shiying, the chief assistant of the cabinet, had to remind Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian: "Your Majesty, the North Korean tribute has been delayed for some time. Do you think it should be deported directly, or how to deal with it?"

Zhu Youjian, who was leisurely cutting the tip of the potted plant, heard this, and said: "There is no need to rush to expel. According to the current strategic deployment of Ming Dynasty, there is no plan to attack North Korea by force. Since he is here to pay tribute, let him pay tribute. Well, just in time, let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs use this opportunity to gain some benefits in the court and prepare for the conquest of the Wa country."

As he said that, Zhu Youjian stood up, handed the scissors to Ma Shiying, and beat his waist that had been bent for a long time and was a little sore, and said: "But before the tributes can see me, they must first let them spend the money they spent in Nanjing." Pay it back, if you can’t pay it now, you can write a contract first, specifying the repayment period.”

Ma Shiying didn't expect that His Majesty would still remember this, and said with a smile: "In this case, I will ask someone to write a contract first."

……

"What, we have to pay for the money we spend in Nanjing, is the Celestial Dynasty so stingy?"

Li Xuan, the great lord of North Korea's Linping, did not dare to yell at him now, but Gulong complained.

"Why, you still have an opinion. You didn't ask for a penny for eating and drinking at the post station and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. When you go to Nanjing to drink wine and show off, you still want us to pay you for the money. No way. ! You are here to pay tribute, not to enjoy the blessings, so it’s okay if you don’t want to pay back, well, then you will stay here until you are willing to pay back!”

Yi Lianqi, who was in charge of contacting the North Korean mission, turned around to leave after finishing speaking, and ordered: "From now on, cut off their food and water, and now they are not willing to repay their debts, they are not the mission of the tribute, my Ming Dynasty!" There is no obligation to provide basic hospitality."

Seeing this, Li Xuan, the great lord of North Korea Linping, shouted anxiously: "Wait a minute! Since you want me to repay you, I will repay you. Take the contract and I will sign it. But frankly, I am very disappointed in you Daming." , very disappointed, what kind of Kingdom of Heaven is this! Pooh!"

Snapped!
Yi Lianqi slapped him straight away: "You don't have a long memory, do you? What are you, dare to insult me, Daming? Come here, drag him out, and ask him to sign for the [-]th board first!"

"You, you dare to hit me, you guys".

Li Xuan was very angry, but he didn't dare to say anything more. At this time, the police soldiers had already passed and forcibly dragged out Li Xuan who had spoken so badly.

The North Korean envoy Li Xuan was also a little scared when he saw the big wooden stick in the policeman's hand, and hurriedly said: "I am wrong, I am wrong, why not! Can you please stop hitting me!"

"It's up to you whether to fight or not. Since you dare to speak disrespectfully to me, Daming, you should be taught a lesson and beat me severely!"

Yi Lianqi shouted.

Thus, the North Korean envoy Li Xuan was pressed down on the bench, and the wooden stick with a thick arm was hit directly, and the buttocks of the North Korean envoy Li Xuan jumped immediately, causing him to yell out in pain: " Ah! It hurts! It hurts!"

"Do you still dare to speak rudely and answer me?" Yi Lianqi laughed at this time and asked.
