The hall was silent for a while, in fact, some people were eager to try, but according to the usual temperament of everyone as officials, they were mostly unwilling to be the first bird, and would rather wait for someone to say something before going out to play a report; Therefore, often at this time, the temple will be silent for a moment, and then some people will not be able to bear to come out.
But at this time, there was a humanitarian: "The deputy envoy of the minister and the country, there is something to do." ” Everyone looked towards the source of the sound, and sure enough, it was a widow kneeling in the hall, and when the court was meeting, in addition to the officials above the fifth grade, there were also lower-grade Qingliu officials, and then some nobles and foreign envoys.
As soon as the Japanese came out, the envoys began to talk in low voices, and the envoys of various countries seemed to have different attitudes, some were joining in the fun, some were indignant, and some were coldly watching.
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, his face fell, and he said, "What's the matter?"
The deputy envoy of the Japanese state said: "The lord of our country admires the grace of the Ming Emperor, sent an envoy to the court, I wanted to submit the credentials, and was willing to serve the Ming Dynasty as the upper country, and the good of a hundred years, this time into the court, I wanted to submit the credentials but never expected, the lord of the country attached great importance to it, and sent the second son Ashikaga Yoshifumi to the court, you can see its heart, but there are Ming officials, serving in the Hanlin Academy, surnamed Ye Ming Chunqiu, is actually an unprovoked beating is making Ashikaga Yoshifumi, and now His Royal Highness Ashikaga Yoshifumi is dying, he was severely injured, and his life is not long, but the beater is still at large, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is to make the decision for His Excellency Ashikaga Yoshifumi and severely punish the culprit."
His words brought tears to his eyes, as if he had suffered a great grievance.
Zhu Houzhao listened, but snorted slightly: "I have also heard about this matter, I want to ask you, how many of you were present at that time" The envoy said, "Eight." ” Zhu Houzhao continued: "Ye Aiqing came out. ” Ye Chunqiu came out of class, bowed down and said, "The minister is here." ” Zhu Hou glanced at him: "I came to ask you, how many people were there at the beginning" Ye Chunqiu said: "There is only one minister." ” Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "Deputy Envoy of the Japanese State, the eight of you are present, and Ye Aiqing is only one person, but you said that Ye Chunqiu beat people to death, should you be confused?"
This envoy couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and the old man said angrily for a long time: "The country of Wa is a state of etiquette, and it has been a king for a long time."
Zhu Houzhao shook his head and said: "But I heard that you Japanese people have always been brave and ruthless, otherwise where did this Japanese come from?"
This envoy originally thought he had a plan, on the one hand, he asked Ashikaga Yoshifumi to pretend to be dying, just to win sympathy, and on the other hand, he cried here, thinking that the other party was just a small Hanlin, and things could have a result soon, after all, the attitude of the Ming Dynasty towards the feudal domains has always been quite tolerant, as long as he shows a willing attitude of respect, if there is any request, the court will always be satisfied regardless of gains and losses, but this envoy never expected that he would hit a nail today.
Zhu Houzhao's unscrupulous words deeply pierced the self-esteem of the deputy envoy of the Japanese state. mentioned the Japanese Kou, which is equivalent to saying that the Japanese are all thieves, and it is said that eight or nine people can't beat a Hanlin Xiu, which is full of ridicule.
This made his face change so much that he couldn't speak for a while.
It's just that the envoys of the various countries originally watched the lively attitude, but now they can't help whispering.
The Ming Emperor suddenly spoke violently to the Japanese envoys, which inevitably reminds people of whether the Ming Dynasty has changed the national policy of the vassal state or even some of the feudal envoys who want to see the jokes of the Japanese people, are also worried at the moment, the Ming Dynasty is the state of etiquette, the so-called state of etiquette, that is, although it is usually extremely friendly, but once some national policies are changed, it is difficult to see anything verbally, but some details can be deduced from it.
This time, Ashikaga Yoshifumi, the envoy of the Wa Kingdom, was beaten badly enough, and he didn't say whether he was dead or alive, but the eyeballs were directly exploded, but many people knew that the eyeballs were directly exploded, and the imperial doctor who went to diagnose and treat was said to be dumbfounded when he saw the tragic situation, but the great emperor actually made sarcastic remarks, this This deputy envoy is called He Maoqing, Ashikaga Yoshifumi, as the son of the general of the expedition, is not very clear about the situation of the Ming Dynasty, so this time into the court, naturally need a person who understands the Ming Dynasty as a deputy, in fact, the interaction between the Japanese and the Ming Dynasty, most of them are responsible for this deputy He Maoqing, as for Ashikaga Yoshifumi, it is more like a look.
Now that Ashikaga Yoshifumi has been beaten like this, He Maoqing, as his deputy, knows that he can't return to China to explain, if he doesn't severely punish this Ye Chunqiu to give Ashikaga Yoshifumi anger, he, the deputy envoy, will not be able to turn around.
However, the attitude of the Ming Emperor was completely an attitude of disregarding diplomatic relations with the Wa State for the sake of Ye Chunqiu.
He Maoqing was furious in his heart, and felt that he had been greatly insulted: "His Royal Highness Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the ancestor of His Excellency Ashikaga, was appointed as the king of Japan by Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the identity of His Excellency Ashikaga Yoshifumi is no different from the county king of the Ming Dynasty, and now he is beaten and humiliated by the first revision of the Ming Dynasty, and the ministers will definitely go back to the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Houzhao looked very impatient, and said, "Go to Ming, is there anyone else who has something to play?"
The hundred officials in the palace all felt that Zhu Houzhao's words were a little inappropriate, but in front of the envoys, it was difficult to say anything.
He Maoqing's face turned red suddenly, and he almost used the last killer move, but people didn't care at all.
This new emperor of the Ming Dynasty obviously has a completely different attitude from the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, when their first emperor was there, although his attitude towards the affairs of the vassal country was not intimate, but the treatment he gave was favorable.
He Maoqing was a little panicked in his heart, he glanced at Ye Chunqiu on the side, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, the subordinates still have something to play, I go to the country, if there is a dispute, often between the samurai, the competition is a duel, and now the country has been humiliated, and the country has a swordsman, this time he also came to the court with His Excellency Ashikaga Yoshifumi, he is a samurai in the family of the general Zhengyi, and he is willing to challenge Ye Chunqiu who caused the accident for the head of the family, and I implore Your Majesty to fulfill it." ” He knew it wasn't going to be right, but it was almost his last resort.
In fact, he knew that this Hanlin was not weak, and this time a small Hanlin actually beat Ashikaga Yoshifumi like this in front of seven or eight Japanese people, which would have brought shame to the Japanese country, and the Japanese people have always been brave and ruthless, if this matter is passed back to China, I am afraid that it will be a big joke.
So he simply broke the jar and broke it, no matter what, since this Ming Dynasty had to protect Ye Chunqiu anyway, then he simply used this method that was not a way.
After he proposed a duel, he was sure in his heart, so he said: "I have heard for a long time that Hanlin Ye Chunqiu is a master of the sword of the upper country, and the samurai of the lower country is the sword saint of the lower country, after the sword saint of the lower country, he is also the kendo teacher of His Excellency Ashikaga Yoshifumi, and this time he also entered the court with His Excellency Ashikaga Yoshifumi, and is willing to teach the sword of the upper country." ” aa2705221:
