Snapped!
Zhu Di casually grabbed an inkstone on Long'an, and slammed it to the ground.
A good inkstone is just torn apart.
After venting for a long time, Zhu Di sat on the Longtao out of breath, and said, "Phew, tell me, has the identity of the resignation been investigated?"
Ji Gang respectfully replied: "Long live, the person whose arms were cut off by His Royal Highness King Han is named Ashikaga Yoshiyuki, but..." (To be continued.)
Chapter 242
It turned out that this Ashikaga Yoshiyuki was the third general of the Muromachi Shogunate in Japan and the fourth son of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.
You know, after Zhu Di seized the throne, he sent envoys to all directions.Among them, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was rewarded by the Ming Dynasty, and was canonized as the "King of Japan" by Zhu Di, and formally established diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty.
Although there is still an emperor in Japan today, the real power is in the hands of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.
In this way, Ashikaga Yoshiyuki can be regarded as the royal family of Japan.
"You mean, this Ashikaga Yoshiyuki is Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's son?" After hearing Ji Gang's introduction, Zhu Di frowned.
"That's right, but..." Ji Gang hesitated for a moment, and said: "But this Ashikaga Yoshiyuki is the most dissatisfied son of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. If not, I'm afraid he won't be able to come to Yingtian Mansion."
"Hmph, aren't you a filial son?" Zhu Di snorted coldly, and said, "No matter what, the Japanese mission must give an account of this matter, plotting to assassinate my prince of the Celestial Dynasty, and not letting them bleed. Didn't Brother Song make trouble this time for nothing?"
As expected of a brother, even Yoshiyuki Ashikaga was blamed for his fault.
He, Zhu Song, suffered a lot. On the contrary, he also killed about thirty young Japanese, but he let out a big breath of anger.
"Long live, do you want me to trip Japan again?" Ji Gang said.
Zhu Di nodded, then shook his head again, and said: "There is no rush, other foreign countries have already sent New Year's gifts, but this Japanese country has not sent New Year's tribute for a long time. Look at their Let’s talk about the annual tribute!”
"My minister obeys the order!" Ji Gang nodded, and he was about to withdraw.
"Ji Gang!" Zhu Di stopped him at this time, "Send a copy of what you Jin Yiwei found to King Han."
……
It is located in a small courtyard of a post house on the east side of Nanjing City.
A middle-aged Japanese man with a hooked nose, white and fat, and a moon haircut, slapped the table angrily and cursed:
"Bage, Ashikaga Yoshiyuki, that idiot, didn't he just ask him to capture a small slave? He even paid for more than [-] warriors from our Dahe nation! Fortunately, I also brought him out of the family. Pigs are smarter than him!"
As soon as the middle-aged Japanese finished speaking, another thin-looking Japanese jumped out and said:
"Your Majesty Zhong Nayan, please calm down. Now is the critical period. We don't know whether the King of Han intended to kill the warriors of our country and nation, or he did it unintentionally!"
Speaking of this: "We are in the land of Daming, and there are some things that need to be carefully considered."
Zhongnayan?
This furious guy turned out to be Japan's Nakanogen Ashikaga Mitsuru!
"Watanabe, what was the situation at that time? Is the idiot Ashikaga Yoshiyuki still alive?" Ashikaga Mikun took a few breaths and said, "Don't tell me, I don't know anything!"
"Your Excellency, Zhong Nayan!" Watanabe thought for a while, and said, "This time, Your Highness the General asked us to pay tribute. In addition to presenting the New Year's gift, we also want to show the strength of our country to the Ming Emperor. Your Excellency, Zhong Nayan, I thought it was time to bring up this matter after meeting Emperor Ming?"
Snapped!
Ashikaga raised his hand and slapped Watanabe's face and eyes hard.
"Hi!" Watanabe was taken aback by the slap, but because of Xiao Japan's slavishness, he subconsciously put his legs together and lowered his head to admit his mistake.
"Watanabe, I want you to determine Ashikaga Yoshiyuki's life and death as soon as possible. If I still can't receive news tomorrow, you can follow the practice of the Kamakura Shogunate and commit seppuku!"
Ashikaga's voice is very cold, leaving no room for it.
"Hi!" Watanabe's face darkened, and he could only bite the bullet and agree.
……
After all, Zhu Song is a restless person. Not two days after the massacre that happened on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhu Song started to run away from his village.
After all, Zhuangzi was rewarded to him by Zhu Di, and some architectural design items still need Zhu Song's approval.
And the bloody case of the previous few days, to Zhu Song, he also wanted to remember seven seconds, let it go.
The Japanese mission has also been surprisingly quiet these past few days, and they haven't bothered to find Zhu Song or Zhu Di.
In the past few days, his fourth brother Zhu Di is also very leisurely. Apart from being in Fengtian Hall every day, he just stays in the warm pavilion honestly, like Yao Guangxiao, Xie Jin, Mao Zedong and other resident close friends. The courtiers would also come to the palace every now and then to have a heart-to-heart chat with Zhu Di.
Of course, it is said to be a heart-to-heart talk, but most of the time is still talking about state affairs. After all, Zhu Di can't neglect the government, can he?
This kind of leisurely life lasted until the 15th day of the Lunar New Year, that is, after the Lantern Festival on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the Japanese mission finally responded.
On this day, Zhu Di called Ji Gang, Yao Guangxiao, and Xie Jin to discuss state affairs in the warm pavilion.
At this time, the Sanbao eunuch hurried in, saluted Zhu Di, and said, "Long live, the Japanese mission sent the letter of credence."
Zhu Di frowned slightly when he heard the words, and then said with a smile: "It's been more than ten days, and they really can bear it! Take it here."
Immediately afterwards, the Sanbao eunuch sent a letter of credence to the dragon case.
Picking up the letter of credence in his hand, Zhu Di first glanced at it calmly, then his face gradually turned cold, and finally his face was so gloomy that water dripped out:
"Hmph, I thought these Japanese were just here to pay tribute, but I didn't realize they wanted to take advantage of my Ming Dynasty. Damn it, really damn it!"
Yao Guangxiao was the number one dog-headed military adviser beside Zhu Di. Seeing Zhu Di's expression was not right, he couldn't help asking, "Long live, what did the Japanese mission say?"
Snapped!
Putting the letter of credence on the dragon case, Zhu Di sneered and said: "Actually, it's nothing. I'm the first to become a great treasure. This year's annual tribute from all the vassals is logically the most valued by all countries. Other vassals who pay tribute should either It's gold, silver and jewellery, or it's beautiful jade and precious stones... In short, it's priceless, and it's used to win my favor. But this Japan...you can see for yourself."
Xie Jin took two steps forward, took the letter of credence, and read: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tomorrow Dynasty: I am called Emperor Komatsu after my country, and I have to hear about His Majesty the Heaven... As a tribute: [-] refined Japanese swords, [-] pieces of Nishijin weaving, and [-] cypress fans..."
After reading the national book, not to mention Yao Guangxiao and Ji Gang, even the Sanbao eunuch standing by thought that these Japanese people were fucking poor and crazy.
How much value can such a little thing have?No matter how they say Japan, there is no shortage of gold and silver, right?Instead of offering such a little thing as a tribute, it is better to give 3 taels of gold!
At this time, a young eunuch came into the palace and reported to Zhu Di: "Long live Qi Zuo, His Royal Highness King Han asks to see Long live." (To be continued.)
Chapter 243 The Damn Little Japan
"My brother Zhu Song, I have met the Fourth Emperor Brother!" Just after entering the Nuan Pavilion, Zhu Song bowed and saluted Zhu Di.
Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "Okay, brother Song, there are no outsiders here, so you don't have to stick to those empty etiquette."
