Chapter 471
The emperor bled and drifted away in a rage, not to mention beheading a small envoy.

Zhu Changyuan returned to his seat, sat upright, and said, "Continue!"

Then some countries sent congratulatory gifts one after another, and Zhu Changyuan either encouraged or reprimanded them depending on the amount of gifts.All books are encouraged to be given back, but most of them are the Analects, Shangshu and other Four Books and Five Classics.

Before long, it was Holland's turn to come up and offer tribute.

The ceremony official sang: "The Netherlands pays tribute!"

The envoy of the Netherlands was a fat man who stood up from the chair in vain and fat. He didn't want to kneel down to Zhu Changyuan like envoys from other countries, but just bowed to Zhu Changyuan and put one hand on his chest.

Zhu Changyuan was very unhappy, but he knew the etiquette of these foreigners and did not show it too much.

"Your Majesty of the Ming Dynasty, I am the envoy of the Netherlands!" Although the Dutch's Chinese is not very standard, they can communicate at the most basic level.

"However, we, the Netherlands, came here to negotiate with His Majesty, not to pay tribute to His Majesty!" The envoy looked at Zhu Changyuan without fear.

Zhu Changyuan snorted coldly, smiled, and said softly: "Naughty, I don't know etiquette, let him have a long experience first!"

Cao Huachun understood what he meant, and brought a few eunuchs to the Dutch envoy, grabbed him and slapped him more than a dozen times before letting him go.

"You, you, you eunuchs!" The envoy was slapped in the face in public, not only because of the pain in the face, but also because it was very embarrassing.

"Report!" Zhu Changyuan finished softly, and the eunuchs took their positions, and then the officer of ceremonies shouted loudly: "The envoy of the Netherlands pays tribute!"

The Dutch envoy still didn't understand, and continued to say: "Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, let me declare again that we, the Netherlands, are not here to pay tribute to you, but to negotiate with you. Please release the 500 people detained in our country as soon as possible." , otherwise, my Dutch fleet might come to China for a trip!"

Zhu Changyuan sneered, and waited for the Dutch envoy to finish speaking, and said: "It's not polite! If you want me to release 500 Dutch people, you can also release 1000 taels of silver per person, a total of 250 million taels. In addition, since the Netherlands has been harassing me in Taiwan for a long time As long as 20 years, it has brought endless pain to the people of our country, and the compensation is 1000 million taels of silver every year, a total of [-] million taels."

"As for what you said about letting the Dutch fleet come to my Greater China, hehe, I'd be happy to see it succeed. If you don't come, you're a fucking son of a bitch!"

Zhu Changyuan uttered a rare swear word in the hall, and then signaled Cao Huachun to pull the emissary down and walk around the torture equipment room in Dongchang.

Although the East Factory no longer exists, and the torture room is no longer used, it is not for the Chinese.When foreigners come, they can also start to resume their old business, so that they can understand that not only the etiquette of reciprocity in China is extensive and profound, but also the interrogation in the torture room is beyond their imagination.

"It's just the Netherlands, and the land is only two and a half Beijing City University. How dare you dare to challenge me, how arrogant! If I didn't pity you for your limited land, it would be more than just paying compensation!"

"What should I do?" The two Spanish envoys began to discuss below, because they, like the Netherlands, did not bring any gifts, and they did not know that the Chinese emperor would attach so much importance to the tribute.

"I don't know either!" The other envoy had a bitter face. He didn't want to be beaten, but he also didn't want to lose face for the country. After thinking for a while, he said cruelly, "Don't they want a gift list? Let's just write it down. "

"But what if we can't fulfill it afterwards?" asked another emissary.

"We ran away early afterwards, or the king will send it."

"Okay, that's the only way to go!"

After the discussion, the two Spanish envoys took out a pen and paper on the spot, and wrote down the gift list.

"Next..." Zhu Changyuan waved his sleeves.

The ceremonial official sang: "King Philip IV of Spain pays tribute!"

The Spanish envoy stood forward with the gift list just written, and suddenly thought of the fate of the Dutch envoy, he had no choice but to kneel down again, and honestly kowtowed to Zhu Changyuan a few times.

Zhu Changyuan smiled and said: "You can teach a child! Let's get down!"

The Spanish envoy stood up and said to Zhu Changyuan, "On behalf of the King of Spain, the foreign minister sends his greetings to the Emperor of Ming!" While speaking, he handed the gift list to the little eunuch, who in turn passed the gift list to Zhu Changyuan.

Zhu Changyuan took a look at the gift list, and it was 10 taels of silver.

After reading it, I smiled and said nothing.

The Spanish envoy said: "Your Majesty, the foreign ministers have come here this time to ask for something else. Can Your Majesty return more than a dozen citizens of my country? In addition, our Majesty is slightly dissatisfied with the matter of compensation and cession proposed by His Majesty. Can you discuss it?"

Originally, the words they had prepared were much more intense, but after seeing what happened to the Dutchman, their attitude could no longer be tough.

"I can promise to release the citizens. As for the matter of ceding the land and paying compensation, I will never give in! You go back and tell Philip IV that if he insists on refusing, I will come to the land of your country in two months! Go down!"

"Next..."

Then. . . .

Then the offering of tributes was over, Zhu Changyuan ordered the officials of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple to have a grand banquet for the guests, and after he hurriedly dealt with a few words, he couldn't wait to run back to the platform separated by a wall and enter the side hall.

Apart from the young eunuch on duty in the side hall, there was the envoy from Fusang Kingdom.

"Master messenger!"

"The foreign minister pays homage to His Majesty!"

"Get up." Zhu Changyuan took off the heavy dress on his body, and asked the messenger, "What's Aiqing's name?"

The messenger bowed and replied, "The foreign minister's name is Hatoyama Jiro!"

At that time, he felt that these officials were deliberately playing tricks on him. Now that he thought about it, although there were these elements in it, he was too eager to become the throne, and he was indeed not fully prepared.

Well now, there is a crown of twelve beads (the twelve beads of the Ming Dynasty are displayed on the hat, not the kind that hangs from the crown board), which is much lighter than the golden crown used by the dead before. , but it is still more than ten times heavier than the ordinary leather bean.

"Sit down!" Zhu Changyuan pointed to a seat below, let the envoy of Fusang Kingdom sit down, sat on a high place, took out the gift list and asked: "I like this gift list very much, but there is a problem."

"Before the gift slip came into your hands, who touched it?"

The envoy looked at the list of gifts, and didn't understand why Zhu Changyuan asked such a question. He said blankly: "General Tokugawa personally handed over the list of gifts to the villain. The ministers don't know who handed it before?"

Zhu Changyuan nodded.

Japan is now in the era of the shogunate, and the entire royal family is manipulated and controlled by the Tokugawa shogunate.The Tokugawa General that Hatoyama Jiro said is naturally the contemporary actual ruler of the shogunate.

"You're talking about Iemitsu Tokugawa, the general who conquered barbarians!" Zhu Changyuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Hatoyama Jiro nodded, but his heart trembled: The emperor of Ming Dynasty is so powerful, he even knows about such things as Fusang Kingdom!
Zhu Changyuan took the pink note in his hand again, looked at the neat lowercase characters on it, sniffed the faintly lingering scent on it, and asked a little erratically: "This season, the cherry blossoms in Fusang Kingdom are already blooming all over the mountains and plains. right?"

In addition to the smell of cool flowers, the note also had a strong aroma of cherry blossoms. If Zhu Changyuan expected it to be right, the light pink color of this note was dyed with the juice of cherry blossoms.

Hatoyama Jiro was surprised again, lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "The cherry blossoms are in full bloom in my country at this time!"

At this time, Fusang has formed a unique culture. Although it is slightly different from Chinese Confucianism and Taoism, the major aspects are still the same, such as national integrity, such as standing upright and standing upright!
As for that kind of evil **** is a later thing.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, Zhu Changyuan is not willing to destroy such a distinctive national culture in his heart.But there is no way, the culture of the Han Dynasty must be displayed, everything else is weeds, which must be mowed quickly.

"Then do you know where this page of notes came from?" Zhu Changyuan pushed the note in his hand forward and placed it on the table.

As the main official of this mission to China, Hatoyama Jiro must have checked over and over again such important things as the gift list, so it is impossible for him not to know that there is a note on the last page.

Now that I know it and send it up, the meaning of this is really thought-provoking.It is still unknown whether it is a strong friendship or a more political meaning.

Although Zhu Changyuan is full of hope, he doesn't have to get it!
Compared with Greater China, compared with the ten thousand races in the world and the Han family, everything else is scum!
"Foreigner's redemption!" When Hatoyama Jiro saw the note, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Zhu Changyuan, and then said: "This is the work of the third lady of the Tokugawa family."

"Oh?" Zhu Changyuan's eyes lit up, and he said, "Say it!"

Hatoyama Jiro said: "The third lady of the Tokugawa family admired His Majesty's heroic youth for a long time, and she had a deep thought, so she wrote this note casually and asked me to put it behind the gift list."

"Please, Your Majesty, forgive me, it's the minister Meng Lang!"

"No problem!" Zhu Changyuan smiled and said, "Tell me, what is the name of this third lady, and what does she look like?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Jiro Hatoyama raised his head, heaved a deep sigh of relief, and said, "Miss San is the third daughter of General Tokugawa, the general who conquered barbarians. ..."

"Ding ding ding ding..."

"Ding ding ding ding..."

Jiro Hatoyama had just spoken halfway when Zhu Changyuan's cell phone rang.

Originally, he could not answer the call, but after seeing the caller's name, he could only answer it. Then, he talked with the person on the other end of the phone for nearly a quarter of an hour with a gloomy face.

"He, King Long, I said that if you don't work, you really won't die!" Zhu Changyuan put the mobile phone on the table, glanced at Hatoyama Jiro, and said: "Envoy, you should go back first, I have important matters to deal with."
