Soon, Dolgon came, and Zhu Xu explained a few words, and then sent him away.
Zhu Xu and Zhang Yun then left the room, and Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong 'just happened' to come together.
"See the emperor, Niangniang."
The two of them practiced simple etiquette.
This banquet did not arrange for the cabinet and Wenchen to participate, Zhu Xu looked at the two and said, "What's wrong?"
” Bi Ziyan hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, there is no one in the capital, and there are still many government affairs to deal with, the ministers plan to return to the city first, please ask the emperor for permission." ” It stands to reason that such a large-scale military performance cannot be ended in three or five days, but too many things have piled up in this period of time, especially the governors of various places, and the governors have been in Beijing for more than ten days, and it is true that they cannot be delayed for a moment.
Zhu Xu's expression did not move, he knew the thoughts of these people well, and said directly: "Approved, the cabinet will look at the arrangements for other things." ” "Yes."
Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong raised their hands, and their expressions were slightly relaxed.
Anyway, they are blatantly 'opposed' against Zhu Xu, and it is also a 'fluke' to be released.
Zhu Xu ignored them and walked straight towards the banquet hall.
The hall is now full of people, all of whom are lords, envoys, and generals from all over the country.
Everyone was calm, smiling and talking to each other in low voices.
As for what lies beneath their surface, only they know it.
Zhu Xu and Zhang Yun walked in from the main entrance, and a group of people immediately got up.
After Zhu Xu and Zhang Yun sat down, these people saluted and said, "I will see His Majesty the Wise Shenwu Emperor, may Your Majesty live a long life and live a long life."
See the queen mother, may the mother be healthy and smooth, and the thousand years will be forever. ” Zhu Xu sat on the dragon chair, looked around at the group of people, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said with a smile: "No courtesy, sit." ” "Thank you, Your Majesty."
A group of more than 20 people sat down, sitting opposite each other, dressed in different costumes, all with light smiles on their faces.
Zhu Xu glanced at the wine and food on everyone's table, and said, "You have come from afar to watch my Ming martial arts, and I am very relieved." ” These envoys, the lords of the country, are now worried about the Ming Dynasty's martial arts exercise, but they don't show it on the surface, and they all said: "We are also honored to be able to watch the powerful Ming Dynasty's martial arts." ” Zhu Xu smiled, Zhang Yun turned his head to a palace maid beside him, and said, "Pass the dishes, let the imperial chef do it well, there is no need to be thrifty." ” "Yes."
The palace maid responded and quickly walked out of the side door.
When the king of Joseon saw it, he hurriedly got up, held a brocade box, and said to Zhang Yun: "The queen's simplicity and frugality is an act of holy virtue, and the ministers are deeply admired.
A little dedication, please don't dislike it. ” An internal supervisor stepped forward, hurriedly took it, and handed it to Zhang Yun.
Zhang Yun glanced at Li Kun, raised his little hand and opened it, and it was an agate necklace in his eyes, and there was a night pearl as warm as jade in the middle, which was worth a fortune just from the point of view of appearance.
Zhang Yun closed it lightly and smiled and said: "The lord of the country is sincere, the palace is very pleased, I heard that the princess has also arrived, and she can enter the palace tomorrow and talk to the palace." ” Mrs. has always been an indispensable part of politics, Li Liang was overjoyed, bowed down and said: "The queen's liking is the greatest kindness of the ministers, and the cheap will enter the palace on time tomorrow and serve the mother." ” Zhang Yunqiao smiled more, looked at Li Kun, turned to Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, should North Korea be rewarded?"
” Zhu Xu looked at Li Liang, said 'um' without hesitation, and said, "North Korea is a subject country of my Ming Dynasty, and it has always been loyal, so it should be rewarded."
Silk and satin, gold and silver are too tacky, so let's order the cabinet to pay for food, build a bridge on the Yalu River, allow people from the two countries to travel freely, and my Ming academies and schools are allowed to enter Koreans, and then order the well-educated people of the Hanlin Academy to regularly go to North Korea to give lectures, preach our Ming education, and help the Korean Wenchang sanctification......"
Li Liang was grateful for these and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, and the whole of Korea is very grateful."
However, the minister has one more request. ” "But it doesn't hurt to say it."
Zhu Xu smiled very decisively, he is now playing a hearty, tolerant, caring for his subjects, and full of benevolence.
Li Liang's face was worried, he hesitated slightly, suddenly knelt down, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, the Japanese Kingdom is ready to move again, gathering more than 100,000 troops on the island of the Nine Kingdoms, and requisitioning countless ships, intending to invade the north again, and the ministers ask Your Majesty to send troops to Korea to defend our Korea!"
” Zhu Xu's face suddenly turned cold, and his eyes showed a fierce look.
In the lobby of this makeshift banquet, a chill flowed.
Li Hui, another king of North Korea, hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the Japanese country is like a jackal, tiger and leopard, without education, and there is no China in your heart. ” Many people sitting here looked immovable, watching coldly, all wanting to see how Da Ming would act, so all eyes were focused on Zhu Xu's face.
But there are two exceptions, the Ryukyu State Minister Shang Lian, and his daughter, Shang Jing.
If the Wa Kingdom is big, North Korea will certainly bear the brunt, but the Ryukyus will inevitably be second!
And the Ryukyus are weaker than North Korea, and there is no depth, even a thousand elite soldiers of the Wa Kingdom can swallow the Ryukyus!
Shang Lian's expression was indifferent, and his brows furrowed slightly.
He already knew that although the Ming Dynasty had defeated the enemies around him, the domestic disaster had worsened, and he was reducing troops and shrinking his strategy to reduce the expenditure of the treasury.
The Ministry of War has clearly informed Shang Lian that the Ming Society will withdraw the 8,000 troops in the Ryukyus and only retain three naval supply bases!
Obviously, the North Korean side of the Ming is also planning to withdraw troops!
Shang Lian looked at Li Lian and Li Hui, and then turned to Zhu Xu, who was sitting still and smiling at all, his heart was heavy, he suddenly got up, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers also think that the Wa Kingdom is ambitious and urgently needs to be contained, otherwise not only our vassal countries will suffer from it, but the Ming Dynasty will also be affected!"
Please act decisively to nip the danger before it happens!
” The envoys of the Wa Kingdom have been driven out of the capital by Zhu Xu, so there are no them here today.
The people in the hall looked at Shang Lian again, with different expressions, and without waiting for their reactions, Horqin Great Khan Badali's eyes flashed slightly, and he stood up, raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Horqin is also a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, if your Majesty sends it, the minister is willing to lead the troops to go out to crusade against the Japanese country, so as to show the majesty of the Ming Dynasty and ensure the stability of the four seas!"
” Zhu Xu looked at Badali with an impassive expression, this one would hitchhike, follow on the side of 'morality', and 'persecut' him.
But Zhu Xu still didn't speak, and took a sip of the wine glass in front of him with an expressionless face.

Li Kun, Li Hui knelt on the ground, glanced at each other, and their eyes were deeply worried.
Now the Japanese have stationed more than 100,000 troops on Jiuguo Island, nominally to 'suppress bandits', if they suddenly go north and invade Korea, what can they do?
Without the protection of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea would not be able to resist the Japanese state at all!
Seeing that the country is in front of them again, how can they not be in a hurry!
Shang Lian's mood is similar, Ryukyu almost lost the country last time, if it weren't for the Ming Dynasty to send troops to intervene in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Now that the Ming wants to withdraw his troops, and the Wa State has repeatedly issued a letter to threaten, how can he amplify the Ming's 8,000 elite soldiers to leave the capital Shuri?
Shang Lian raised his hand and stood there, as if Zhu Xu didn't nod, he wouldn't withdraw his hand.
The other standing Badaali's mind is more simple, he is also a subject of the Ming Dynasty, if the Ming Dynasty does not save North Korea, how can he make him believe that the Ming Dynasty will protect Horqin and crusade against Chahar?
Regarding the situation around Daming, Zhu Xu was insightful about the thoughts of these people, but he still didn't say it, and sat there quietly, although his eyes were sharp, he seemed to have thoughts and hesitation.
Zhang Yun looked at him from the side, and vaguely saw a subtle smile from the corner of his mouth.
After a while, behind Shang Lian, dressed in white, with a delicate body and a rather pretty body, Shang Jing, seeing that Zhu Xu did not speak, secretly gritted her teeth, got up, and said to Zhu Xu: "Your Majesty, we have no other luxuries, I just hope that the Ming Dynasty can protect us from violation."
We also know that the Ming Dynasty is facing an unprecedented disaster, and the treasury needs to be used for disaster relief, if we can provide money and food for the Ming army, I wonder if we can continue to be stationed in our country?
” Li Kun, Li Hui, Shang Lian and others looked slightly moved, whether it was North Korea or Ryukyu, the national strength was extremely weak, the population was not large, and the taxes were even less.
North Korea wants to support an army of 30,000 that has always been well-equipped and well-trained, but it is too difficult to raise it!
