Chapter 235: The Country of Brothers
Zhu Jinghong chatted with several governors, and the complicated ceremony came to an end, which also heralded the official start of the banquet.
But even so, there are corresponding details when eating in the palace. For example, all envoys must first toast to the prince.
After doing this three times and expressing respect for the prince, the banquet really started.
Then the music sounded, and the Wuying Hall was filled with singing and dancing, which also made the banquet atmosphere more lively.
The envoys of the chieftains who were close to the Ming Dynasty walked up the imperial steps with wine glasses and knelt in front of the prince to express their submission.
However, there are still many similar envoys, and those who are not submissive, such as Junggar, are still in the minority today.
At this moment, Niu Jizong reminded him, "Master Thirteen, someone is looking for you."
Looking in the direction of Niu Jizong's line of sight, Zhu Jinghong showed a smile on his face , just because the person who came was an acquaintance.
"See the Thirteenth Master"
Hearing what the translator said, Zhu Jinghong sat still, glanced at the man kneeling on the ground, and then said, "Isn't this Okamoto-sama?" "
Okamoto Hideyuan was extremely frightened and said, "The villain has a humble status, how can he deserve to be called the Thirteenth Master like this?"
"That's not necessarily true, maybe one day Japanese pirates will appear along the coast. , I broke into the palace, and I will have to ask you for help."
These words did not save Okamoto Hideyoshi face, which made him feel particularly aggrieved at this time.
I endured the beatings, and later I insulted myself to save Da Ming’s face. Now I lower my profile to ease the relationship
I have done everything I can, and I have done it extremely well. He doesn’t understand Why haven't you been forgiven yet?
"Thirteenth Master, foreign ministers must not dare to have such intentions." Okamoto Hideyuan kowtowed to the ground.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Zhu Jinghong laughed out loud, leaving Okamoto Hideyuan confused.
"Get up"
"I was joking with you just now. I know how loyal the Okamoto family is to the Ming Dynasty."
Hearing this, Okamoto Yingyuan felt a lot more relieved, and then he got up from the ground.
Just listen to Zhu Jinghong continue to say, "How complicated your Okamoto family is. There will inevitably be some scum among them, trying to separate the friendship between you and us. You must strictly punish such ambitious people."
His remarks were equivalent to separating the Japanese pirates from the Okamoto family, and they could naturally ignore the past grievances in the future.
"Thirteenth Master Mingjian, our general is loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. I will definitely advise him when he returns home and ask him to eradicate the disloyal thieves in the clan and the country."
Zhu Jinghong clicked He nodded and said with a smile, "That's right."
"Thirteenth Master, I would like to propose a toast to you." Hidetoshi Okamoto looked flattering.
He came to Ming Dynasty this time to ease the relationship. He had already suffered such a big loss before, so he naturally wanted to make everything perfect.
As the emperor’s legitimate son, Zhu Jinghong’s attitude and views are crucial, but he stillHe has a "prejudice" against Japan, so Hidetoshi Okamoto must eliminate his grudge.
That’s why after being slapped in the face, he showed a shy face to get beaten again. He endured the humiliation and shouldered the heavy burden for the sake of his family.
But his hands were sore when he raised the glass, and even the smile on his face froze, but Zhu Jinghong had no intention of raising the glass.
"Thirteenth Master, look at this"
After hearing this, Zhu Jinghong finally reached for the cup and said calmly, "Your Okamoto family is the strongest in Japan, but It’s not like we have no opponents so we can do our own thing.”
“Yes”
Lifting the cup casually, Zhu Jinghong expressed his intention to Okamoto Hideyoshi, and then drank the wine in one gulp. .
After also drinking the wine in the glass, Okamoto Hidetoshi said respectfully, "Thank you, Master Thirteen, for your teachings."
Zhu Jinghong moved his little finger slightly, indicating that he could retreat, and put down the wine glass. .
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Hideyoshi Okamoto was happy, but at the same time he felt endlessly aggrieved.
Zhu Jinghong's contempt made him feel even more humiliated. He represented the face of the Okamoto family and should have received the minimum respect.
Looking at Hideyoshi Okamoto's back, Zhu Jinghong said softly, "I think he is not convinced."
The ones who could hear this were the governors sitting with him , but they all had different opinions after hearing this.
Niu Jizong stroked his beard and said, "Thirteenth Master, Japan is a small country and not worth mentioning."
Others had almost the same attitude, and Zhu Jinghong actually understood this very well.
Although the hegemony is partially unstable, the Ming Dynasty still dominates other countries, and it is normal for everyone in the court to be arrogant.
"It's not worth mentioning now, but it may not be worth mentioning in the future"
Shi Guangzhu couldn't help but say, "The Thirteenth Master thinks highly of them so much"
"I heard It was said that a large gold mine had been discovered in Japan. Mining gold is very easy, and you can find pure gold by just looking around."
No one here really knew about this situation, so everyone immediately became interested.
"Where did the Thirteenth Master know about this?"
As soon as Niu Jizong asked, Liu Fang answered, "I have heard about this."
p>
With Liu Fang's words to prove it, everyone did not doubt that it was false, and at least they discussed it a few more times.
At this time, Zhu Jinghong said, "There is so much gold and silver, if we use it all to buy guns and cannons, do you think they will be a big problem?"
This seems reasonable, but When thinking of Japan's weak national power and the sea across from Ming Dynasty, it was still difficult for everyone present to take them seriously.
So Zhu Jinghong planned to change his perspective and talk to the governors about gold and silver. After all, there are very few people in the world who don't love money.
Zhu Jinghong said this with excitement, and the banquet gradually reached its climax, and the atmosphere was harmonious and became more and more lively.
Whether they are acquaintances or not, envoys from all over the world communicate with each other in Ming Dynasty Mandarin, which is not fluent, and the customs and customs of various places can be heard here.
It was at this time that ZhaEnvoy Sark led several people and walked up the royal steps like other envoys.
"The foreign minister has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince"
There is no doubt that thorny heads like Junggar and Zhasak attracted the attention of most people at the scene.
So at this time, many people realized that something was wrong, because the envoy Zhasak on the imperial steps did not kneel down to the prince.
You must know that Zhasak officially accepted the canonization of the Ming Dynasty. Legally speaking, the officials of the Ming Dynasty had to kneel even if their Khan came.
If the envoy does not kneel, it is a crime of disrespect.
"Insolent" the head guard shouted loudly.
Zasak envoy Mulati calmly replied, "Your Highness, we have come to propose a toast to show that the two countries are as close as brothers. Is this wrong?"
Here are The problem is that Ming regarded Zhasak as his son, so what Mulati said was wrong.
The prince didn't realize this and couldn't find anything to say.
In the prince's opinion, it was good enough for someone to come from thousands of miles away to express his surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
At present, the envoys from all countries are here. If he is too harsh, he is afraid of the public opinion of other countries.
Obviously, the prince's problem of being afraid of chickens in front and ducks in the back has happened again.
He didn't speak, which embarrassed the guard who scolded him, as if he was messing around.
Seeing this scene, the martial artists around Zhu Jinghong were also very anxious.
Niu Jizong had the most explosive temper. He immediately stood up and yelled, "The prince is the crown prince. How dare you refuse to bow to me? Do you want to rebel?"
These words spoke to the hearts of the martial artists. After that, everyone, including most of the envoys, glared at the Zasak people.
Mulati smiled and said extremely humbly, "The prince didn't say anything, but the general spoke first. Who has the final say in this Ming Dynasty?"
The next moment , the Junggar envoy at the imperial level followed and said, "It is indeed true. The Ming Dynasty taught the world with etiquette, but it seems that it is not really about etiquette."
