Chapter 120 I am the loneliest when it is the busiest time
Yun Zhao’s appointment as emperor is really what everyone expects!
If you don’t believe it, you only need to look at the piles of congratulations to understand how Yun Zhao wins people’s hearts.
There are congratulatory forms from officials, congratulatory forms from the army, congratulatory forms from rural sages, congratulatory forms from Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain, and congratulatory forms from eminent monks from major temples. There were also congratulatory messages from imams from the Western Regions, lamas from Tibet, and wizards from the grasslands.
There are even congratulatory forms from various local kings, chiefs, khans, emperors, kings, and generals.
In short, this is a symbol of the return of the world.
Yun Zhao even received congratulatory messages from Li Hongji, Zhang Bingzhong and Dorgon, the regent of Jianzhou.
Just in the early morning, Han Xiufen sent congratulations to the King of England, the Governor of France, and the Governor of Portugal by speedboat. Although the words above seemed very uneducated, Han Xiufen still sent these congratulations as quickly as possible. The watch arrived.
Only the Governor of the Dutch East India Company, Renn, refused to go on the congratulatory form... In fact, he had no way to go on the congratulatory form. Shi Lang's second fleet had landed in eastern Java and occupied East Timor, and The Portuguese governor here was easily hanged. The congratulatory note was written by the Portuguese governor in the book of life before he was sent to the gallows.
Among these congratulatory forms, the congratulatory form of King Li Zhu of North Korea was the most standard and sincere. To be honest, Yun Zhao felt a little unbearable after seeing the edict written in blood by Li Zhu.
After all, the King of Korea paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty for 254 years. Until the ninth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji led 100,000 troops across the Yalu River to attack North Korea. The North Korean army could not resist and had to enter the South. Hanshan City continued to resist, but unfortunately, Huang Taiji used his troops like a god. No matter how the Korean king resisted, he was ultimately no match for the Jianzhou people. Under the leadership of the king, the whole city surrendered.
Huang Taiji ordered the North Korean king to cut off all contact with the Ming Dynasty, and the North Korean king had to agree. However, every time Chongzhen's birthday, the North Korean king would present gifts to Chongzhen through merchants.
Even in November of the 16th year of Chongzhen, when the building was about to collapse, the gift from the King of Korea still arrived as scheduled.
This kind of behavior is very touching.
After thinking for a long time, Yun Zhao decided to allow the friendly Japanese shogunate Tokugawa Iemitsu to enter North Korea to help the Korean royal family in danger. After the Chinese army calmed down the world, the old Korean land would definitely be restored.
Nowadays, Li Si, the fourth son of King Li Zhu of North Korea, has entered Yushan Academy to study. It is hoped that one day after he completes his studies, he can return to North Korea and rebuild the country of the past.
Tokugawa Iemitsu was very satisfied with the decree sent by Yun Zhao and agreed to enter North Korea. However, he required that China must first solve his armaments before he could cross the strait and officially occupy the land of North Korea. Compete with the Jianzhou people.
Yun Zhao also allowed Tokugawa Iemitsu to use silver to trade with the Ming Dynasty, and allowed the Japanese to buy the Ming Dynasty in addition to what the army was using.All weapons other than standard equipment were strongly recommended to Tokugawa Iemitsu, a large number of Hongyi cannons that had been eliminated by the Ming Dynasty, hoping that he would buy them in large quantities.
Tokugawa Iemitsu was very happy. After buying 600 red barbarian cannons in one go, Yun Zhao realized that something seemed wrong. After these red barbarian cannons arrived in Japan, they would be thrown into iron smelting. The furnace is smelted into iron ingots...
This is very embarrassing, so the Lantian military no longer sells the Hongyi cannon separately. If the Japanese country wants the Hongyi cannon, they must purchase the accessories. of gunpowder, and cannonballs.
As a result, if the Japanese want to get enough steel from the Ming Dynasty, they will have to pay a higher price.
The armaments of the Japanese country have never been fully assembled, so Tokugawa Iemitsu has never had the intention to enter North Korea, and the King of Korea seems to have no intention of inviting Tokugawa Iemitsu to come to North Korea to help them.
The King of North Korea just kept telling Yun Zhao, and he was very humble every time he spoke. This time, he actually started to write in blood.
Although I don’t know whose blood this seal was written in, the North Korean envoy said that it was written by the king himself. Yun Zhao must believe it, otherwise it would be insulting.
For this reason, Yun Zhao had to issue another decree to Dorgon, the regent of Jianzhou, ordering him not to harm the Korean royal family.
This edict was written in two copies. One was sent to Dorgon, and the other was given to the North Korean emperor at the request of the North Korean envoy. It seems that the life of the North Korean king is really not good. Better off.
Yun Zhao was dressed in a formal dress, sitting on a tall red osmanthus tree like a clay or wood sculpture, watching his courtiers lining up to present congratulations to him.
The style of Zhang Guozhu's gown is also very complicated. It can be seen that this country bumpkin put on this dress, holding the wat board, trying not to look away and trying hard to walk in a straight line.
His walking was not straight at all, and he almost fell into the water mirror watching the sky on the side twice.
Zhu Cunji wore a wide robe and long sleeves, holding the ivory wat board to his chest with both hands flat, and kept giving instructions in his mouth, with a loud voice, and every sound seemed to come from his lungs.
Zhang Guozhu finally put the congratulatory form on a red lacquered wooden plate, bowed to Yun Zhao and saluted before leaving. He heard Yun Zhao say: "Ai Qing is the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, and you have supervision." It is the duty of all officials to just stand here and supervise the etiquette of the ministers."
Zhang Guozhu raised his head and looked at Yun Zhao calmly, then bent down and saluted again: "I obey the order!"
p>After speaking, he followed Zhu Cunji's example, holding the wat board to his chest and looking at the other officials with bright eyes as they continued to present their congratulatory forms.
Immediately afterwards, Han Lingshan walked up with brisk steps. He seemed to have always been cautious. Although he was wearing a similarly complicated dress, his steps were light and he walked up in two or two steps. Danxi, a complete set of etiquette is so smooth that no one can find any flaws.
However, he was also left behind by Yun Zhao, standing on the other side of Danxi, looking exactly like Zhu Cunji and Zhang Guozhu, with their feet right next to him.It is a water mirror filled with water. As long as you lower your head, you can see your funny face.
Both Han Lingshan and Zhang Guozhu are very aware of Yun Zhao's bad taste, and they don't care at all. They have thought about this set of court rituals for a long time and made it based on the etiquette of previous dynasties. of.
Perhaps it seemed ridiculous to Yun Zhao, but in the eyes of the common people and those watching the ceremony, this was definitely a solemn and solemn scene.
When Qian Shaoshao, Yun Yang, Zhou Guoping and the other ten people were all left by Yun Zhao on Danxiang, Yun Zhao didn't look so stupid sitting on the chair.
A team is always stronger and more lively than one person.
After the lengthy dedication ceremony, Yun Zhao was already sitting with a dry mouth.
For this moment, he has not drank water or eaten since last night, just to persevere in this five-hour ceremony.
After Yun Zhao thanked the wise man who came up to offer the gift at the end, Zhu Cunji, who had also been standing for a whole day, mobilized his energy in his Dantian and shouted, "The gift is done!"
Yun Zhao He got up and took a group of people back to the People's Palace.
As soon as he left people's sight, Yun Zhao angrily tore off the crown on his head and threw it to Zhang Guozhu. As he walked, he untied the complicated clothes on his body and threw them away as he walked. .
In the end, only the shoes and inner clothes were left, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at the group of subordinates with jingling rings and said: "It feels so comfortable."
Zhang Guozhu Carefully handing the crown to the chamberlain, he shook his numb arm and said: "It will be fine in the future. Although this is red tape, it is necessary. We must always respect our departed companions. If there is no big gift, who would think Is what we are doing a meaningful thing?"
Han Lingshan said: "Even if we have to endure it, we must endure it."
Yun Yang imitated Yun Zhao. He tore off his clothes, threw away his hat and revealed his bald head. He casually sat on the carpet and said to Zhou Guoping: "You look a bit bride-like in this outfit, which is more beautiful. I wear this outfit, like a bride." "I grabbed it."
Zhou Guoping pulled her clothes proudly and said, "The main thing is that she looks good, and she looks good no matter what she wears."
As the waiter brought tea and snacks. , the group of people suddenly gave up the idea of chatting, including Yun Zhao himself who also devoured the food.
Zhang Guozhu looked at the way the people in front of him were eating, sighed and said to Yun Zhao: "We can't do this in the future."
Yun Zhao took a bite of the snack, swallowed it and looked at Zhang Guozhu and said: " It's better to get closer. Let me tell you, it's really scary to sit in that position alone.
Look, there is a blue sky above the red osmanthus, and there is a huge smoking cauldron behind it. I am sitting in front of the giant cauldron, not like an emperor, but more like a sacrifice chosen by you!"
As Yun Zhao spoke, he took an apple from Zhou Guoping's hand and bit it! He continued: "People are reallyYou can't be superior. When there is only one person left in the world, that person will definitely have random thoughts.
Especially for people like me who hold the power of life and death, they can’t think wildly. If I think too much, good things can be seen as treason.
We have grown up together and have never really been separated in these years. It’s better not to separate me alone.
As of now, we brothers just have different divisions of labor, and there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority. "
Han Lingshan said calmly: "Just say this here, don't take it out. "
Zhang Guozhu said: "I'm worried that if you say this too many times, someone will take it seriously.
Yun Yang sneered from the side and said: "Your Majesty can treat us as brothers, but we must treat him as the emperor. If anyone oversteps his bounds, I will be the first to refuse." ”
Yun Zhao chewed the delicious apple silently without saying a word.
Just like Zhang Guozhu, Han Lingshan, and Yun Yang said, he has already Now that he has become the emperor, it seems particularly hypocritical to say this.
I originally wanted to gather my brothers and sisters for a drink, but in this situation, it seems not a good idea.
Yun Zhao was determined not to live in the People's Palace. Although the palace beyond the second entrance was his palace, he had never stayed here.
Yun Zhao thought to himself. Every word is true, but unfortunately, in the eyes of politicians, there is no truth in the world. All truths will eventually turn into lies as the environment and time change.
Yun Zhao. He felt that the friendship he had before was as high as the mountain and as deep as the sea was becoming more and more distant as he went to heaven. This was a very sad thing.
He wanted to pay tribute to it. His lost friendship could not find a quiet place.
The entire Yun family mansion was decorated with red lights and brightly lit, and two beauties who were decorated like goddesses descending to earth were greeting him. He came forward, with bright eyes and white teeth, so noble that people dare not look directly at him...
