Tang Yin is still calm-minded and knows that these are all sugar-coated bullets from the Koreans. Once he accepts them, he will be easily controlled by others, and will be easily impeached by Ming Dynasty officials after he returns.
The main reason is that he doesn't feel that this woman makes him very attracted.
During the meeting of North Korean ministers early the next morning, Tang Yin, Park Yuanzong and Liu Ziguang entered Gyeongbokgung Palace and headed to Qinzheng Hall. On the way, he asked directly, "Boyin, if you do this, will you let I'm in a dilemma."
Pu Yuanzong said, "Sir, I'm sorry. I'm just doing my best to help you live a more stable life in North Korea. In addition, I know that Ambassador Xu is ill. I bought some medicines and supplements, they should all be here."
Pu Yuanzong was afraid that the people below him would not handle the matter well, or that Tang Yin and Xu Jing would return the gifts, and who would end up taking advantage of them. So he was very serious about seeking verification.
"You can keep the medicinal materials for treating diseases. As for women, you don't have to think about sending them to the Huitong Hall in the future." Tang Yin said, "If you really meant it, you shouldn't have come to take care of me. Don't you think so?" You don’t know who has a higher say in the Ming Dynasty today regarding the succession of the leader of North Korea?"
Pu Yuanzong was startled.
Immediately he realized that the person Tang Yin was talking about was, as expected, Zhang Zhou.
You can’t be talking about Liu Jian, the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, right?
Pu Yuanzong said in a low voice, "I just heard a news from the Ming Dynasty, saying that there is a baby in the palace of Lai Guogong. , but I don’t know if he was born to the Yuan wife.”
“No.” Tang Yin answered directly, “I haven’t heard that Lai Guogong’s first wife is pregnant. The young lady of the Wang family of Marquis Weining, but you know Marquis Weining is also very popular in the Ming Dynasty, and his status is not too low."
Pu Yuanzong smiled and said, "So we are ready here. It will inevitably be a little late to send the gifts from Gyeonggi Province, so I specially asked Ping An Road and other departments to select the gifts. It is estimated that they can be sent to Liaodong in the next two days."
Tang Yin said, "You finally know how to do things. ."
"That's ridiculous, sir." Pu Yuanzong said.
Tang Yinxin said, where did you hear that I was praising you?
"After finishing the matter, I can go back to Daming. Please don't give me any money." I caused some trouble. As a civil servant of the Ming Dynasty, I will definitely face cross-examination by the court officials when I return to the capital. If they know that I accept generous gifts here, even from women, it will be detrimental to my reputation. "Tang Yin. road.
Pu Yuanzong was startled and said, "The gift will be sent to your hometown later."
It is inconvenient for you to receive the gift, then we will send the gift to a "convenient" place.
Whether he is considerate or considerate
Tang Yin said, "Save it, he will be worthy of whatever you give to Duke Lai, and no one in the court will treat him badly." His merits are worthy of your tribute and filial piety. But I have only been in the court for a short time and have not made any meritorious service. How can I deserve this?"
Pu Yuanzong thought again. oneNext, his head seemed to be very flexible, and he said, "Then as a tribute to the Duke of Lai, I will specially set aside your share and ask the Duke of Lai to hand it over later."
"Bo Yin, I think you should be able to handle things, but why are you paying so much attention to a gift-giving matter now? Your current thoughts should not be on how to stabilize the situation in North Korea," Tang Yin said with a serious face.
Pu Yuanzong cursed in his heart.
I respect you as an ancestor, but you are still picky
Tang Yin sighed, "What do you want? Don't come and tell me. Even if you take down the entire North Korea." Give them all to the Duke of Lai. That is also a matter for you Koreans. There is no need to discuss it with me. Of course, I will help you get an official position in the Ming Dynasty and let you get the care of the Ming Dynasty. This is what I can do." /p>
"What about your title in North Korea?" Park Yuanzong has always been thinking about giving Tang Yin the title of Lord of the Court.
"As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, you cannot have two loyalties." Tang Yin said.
Pu Yuanzong thought, you don’t want to be a second minister, so I want to be one, right? If you give me an official position in the Ming Dynasty, North Korea will not regard me as a traitor
Tang Yin seems to be the same Considering this, he reminded, "North Korea is just a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. It is a kindness and courtesy to you to be canonized by the superior state. Do the officials of North Korea still dare to make irresponsible remarks about this?"
"I dare not." Pu Yuanzong said.
"Then hurry up and go to court to discuss matters. Today we have to talk clearly about military expenditures."
Tang Yin was not just waiting to die in North Korea.
He has an important task, which is to help the Ming Dynasty pacify the Jurchens in Liaodong and continue to raise food, grass and funds, especially when it comes to Wang Shouren's governance of Nuergandusi, which requires a large supply of food and grass. If the food, grass and materials are If it is supplied from the Central Plains or Jiangnan, the freight is much greater than the value of the grain itself, so it is better to transfer it from North Korea.
This kind of thing was unimaginable in the past. Even if North Korea would give it, it would not give more.
But now
I am asking for it for you because the Celestial Empire values you and allows you to contribute to the Ming Dynasty's efforts to pacify the foreign barbarians.
In the Qinzheng Hall.
In the past, court discussions were not conducted in Chinese, but now that Tang Yin was here, all conversations had to be in Chinese, and those courtiers who did not understand Chinese suddenly became marginalized figures.
In addition to the fact that North Korea has no founding leader, there is a king and a concubine. They are not qualified to listen to politics behind the curtain. The main seat is vacant. The most important position below is occupied by Tang Yin, sitting on the left and right. Li Kedun and Yin Bishang, the leaders of the Old Xun Sect and Shilin Sect, and Pu Yuanzong and Cheng Xiyan, who had previously helped bring order to the chaos, could only sit back.
At this time, Pu Yuanzong was still in the government as Wu Xun, while Cheng Xiyan was in charge of political affairs as a leftist, and his official position was even higher than that of Pu Yuanzong.
"The suzerain country wanted to pacify the Jurchens and sent troops to northern Liaoning. The mountains and rivers were long and it was difficult for North Korea to allocate food to the north. Furthermore, North Korea had experienced droughts and floods, and the people had too much time to take care of themselves., now we should ask the Ming Dynasty to come to relieve the disaster. If we allocate food or even impose additional taxes at this time, I am afraid that the Korean people will be miserable and starve to death everywhere."
Yin Bishang, as a civil servant The leader was talking about the difficulties of North Korea in preparing food for the Ming Dynasty.
Liu Ziguang said, "The Ming Dynasty wanted to pacify Liaodong, and it was also to protect the stable life of the people of North Korea. Now there is no need for North Korea to station troops, but only some troops." If food, grass and supplies have to be pushed back and forth, I'm afraid the Ming Dynasty will be unhappy. "
"Are you on the Korean side or the Ming side?" Someone immediately asked Liu Ziguang in Korean.
Tang Yin raised his hand and said, "What's going on?"
p>
Li Kedun also said, "Speak in the language of Shangbang. Don't pretend to be a ghost here. What you mean is to ask why Ming Dynasty needs to adjust food from North Korea."
Soon Someone translated the Korean sentence for Tang Yin.
Tang Yin was also very angry and said, "I don't care what your attitude is in your heart, but if you are so uncooperative about the Ming Dynasty and Liaobei, then I think so. There is no need to continue talking. ”
As he said that, Tang Yin suddenly stood up and touched the sword at his waist.
It is quite stylish for a scholar to wear a sword, and he seemed to clearly give it to him. The North Koreans present are putting pressure on you. I f**king defeated you North Korea with weapons. It is only natural that I ask for food from you. You should stop pushing back here. Believe it or not, whoever opposes will be destroyed
"The superior appeases the anger. "Liu Ziguang said.
Tang Yin stepped outside the Qinzheng Hall and coldly said, "One million stones of grain must be transported to Liaodong within half a month. This is also because Show your sincerity to Ming Dynasty. If you fail to do so, you will be responsible for the consequences. ”
Tang Yin left with the guards of Ming Dynasty.
There were a bunch of North Korean ministers left in the Qinzheng Hall, sitting there who were filled with indignation, especially those from the Shilin faction. This is the most painful thing.
"The country will not be the country." Some people almost beat their chests and cried.
Pu Yuanzong stood up. He was not sitting in the front seat and stood up to talk. At that time, he seemed to be the prime minister second only to Tang Yin, and said loudly, "Compared with the tyranny of Lord Yanshan, now he is just helping the Ming Dynasty to quell the border troubles in northern Liaoning. In addition to the three hundred soldiers who came with the envoys, the Ming Dynasty can no longer I have sent out one soldier and one soldier."
This is a reminder to the ministers present.
Hurry up and let the Ming Dynasty determine our position as the leader of the country, and then send envoys Tang Yin and Xu Jing and their entourage to Send them away, and Korea will return to its previous state.
If you insist on the dignity of your actions, the result will be that Ming Dynasty will send troops directly from Liaodong to Korea, and then they will not negotiate with you for food adjustments. The problem can be solved directly.
Liu Ziguang also quickly defended his behavior and said, "I heard that after the Jurchens surrendered, even those who surrendered voluntarily would migrate to southern Liaoning and other places for resettlement. , native officials would become exiled officials. As a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea would be governed by exiled officials appointed by the Ming Dynasty.If so, it probably isn’t what we want. "
"The worst case is that"
Some people from the Shilin sect will rise up soon, probably to break the deadlock with Daming Yu.
This time Yin Bishang said "Da Ming Yu" This is the suzerain country. This sending of troops to establish slaves was requested by the previous leader of Korea and His Majesty the Ming Emperor. They were previously promised to send 20,000 troops, but in the end they only sent less than 5,000 troops and no food and grass were supplied. Now in this situation, allocate Grain was supplied to Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, and the conditions were not excessive. But the quantity is still questionable. "
Li Kedun stood up and said, "You have been led astray by the trend of Taiwan's remonstrance. No wonder you are like this."
"Guangyuan Jun, what do you mean by the previous military disaster? When persecuting Zhongliang, did you forget that Taiwan's remonstrance was a rule established by the late emperors to ensure that there would be no deviation in the administrative affairs of Korea?"
The old Xun sect and the Shilin sect were not dealt with in the first place. When it came to a matter of grain adjustment, tensions suddenly arose again.
Pu Yuanzong said, "That's enough. Now that the king of the country has not been decided, the ministers everywhere are ready to make a move. You actually have the intention to fight among yourself to see if it's okay." If food can be raised again, and food needs to be transferred this time, the clan and ministers can be expected to stay out of the matter and treat them equally on such issues. "
"Why?" Immediately another official from Taiwan asked.
Pu Yuanzong also patted the hilt of his sword.
Just like Tang Yin before , They are all threatening the ministers present.
Don’t be shameless.
A gift from North Korea to Zhang Zhou. , after several days of transportation, they were all presented in front of Zhang Zhou.
The quantity was quite large, but the unit price was not high, and the total number was not enough, which made Zhang Zhou see the "stinginess" of North Korea. < /p>
He was also thinking in his mind that the gift that my old Zhu family gave to Brother Zhang was more than that.
The Koreans actually expected these three melons and two dates to let Brother Zhang. Help them establish their country and stop putting pressure on them
Zhang Zhou held the gift list in his hand, smiled, and said to the North Korean envoy who came to deliver the gift, "You are from Hanyang City"
"No. "The envoy said, "The villain is sent by the Jiedu Envoy of Huanghaidao. The head of the family has a life-long friendship with General Pu Yuanzong Pu.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "It's the newly appointed military commander of Huanghaidao, right? Pu Yuanzong is very good at controlling military power. He keeps a low profile in Hanyang City, but secretly replaces the military commanders from other places one by one." His cronies, in order to avoid hidden dangers in various places, but he does not know whether this will cause resistance from the governors and soldiers in various places."
""
The envoy's face Zhang Zhou didn't dare to breathe when he was questioned like this.
Zhang Zhou said, "I heard that you also gave Tang Yin a gift."
The envoy shook his head, "I don't know. ”
"Then where are you going after you go back?" Tang Yin asked.
The envoy said, "We will use fast horses to go to Gyeonggi Province to recover, or we may enter Hanyang City."
"Well, you can take me to deliver a message. Tell them what I need, everything must be clearly priced, and I will not engage in hidden things. Who makes them lose a good situation? I could help the Ming Dynasty to pacify the Jurchens, but I can't say a word. Now they themselves The leader of the country has been overthrown, and they still want Ming to appoint a new one to them."
"Don't be a rebellious minister, and let Ming take the blame for them. The Ming court will not do things in vain, and will not receive benefits. "It's so simple, can you understand it?"
Zhang Zhou looked at the messenger with a smile.
The envoy said, "Yes, I understand."
The normal diplomatic relations between the two countries, and even the political meetings and negotiations, were directly transformed into a market. What else don’t you understand?
You Ming Dynasty just want to exploit North Korea
“Smart people know how to do things, so I will list what I can for you. These bastards I won’t let you take the gadgets back, please. I’ll pay them directly for the military rations. I’ll give you the highest price for these things based on the lowest price of food. At worst, I’ll pay you a few dan less for the military rations.”
< p>"Yes, yes."Zhang Zhou had already made a detailed list, all-inclusive.
For example, if the Ming Dynasty no longer sends troops to the North Korean border, how much food, grass and luggage will be provided.
For another example, how much "thank you gift" should be given to the appointed leader of the country; how much should Tang Yin and Xu Jing be given after completing their mission and returning to the court? Even the price of killing Li and exiled Li is not the same. It's different.
The position of the head of the country is not given to Li's sons, nor to Li's brothers who were born as concubines, but it is directly explained that it can be given to Li Yi, but the price is the highest and needs to be paid by the two Koreans. The queen mother gave me detailed information on the price.
Don’t ministers also hope that everything in North Korea can get back on track after killing a foolish king?
Wouldn’t it be nice to give you an option?
Of course , if you think it is very expensive, you can also provide manpower to fill the vacancies. How much food can be offset by one soldier, a thousand people can cover it.
For example, let’s talk about how much food can be paid by one labor. If you don’t even come up with the labor and insist on giving some women and children, the price can also be negotiated. After all, after the Ming soldiers settled in northern Liaoning, they also We need people to help with laundry and cooking, we need to settle down and start a business, and we also need a population. If the Han people who migrated to Liaodong don’t want to go north, then let the Koreans go
Promote ethnic integration and give them the identity of Ming people. Any bullying involved, and even necessary resettlement rations were given.
What's wrong with this?
After reading the list, Zhu Feng exclaimed, "Brother Zhang, you are better at talking about business."
Zhang Zhou Bai glanced at him and said, "What kind of business do you treat family and country affairs as business? Even if it is really an exchange, you won'tIt can be called a business, but it should be said that this is an exchange of interests between the suzerain and the vassal state. The suzerain will help you guard the border, give you a stable environment, and even protect you, so you also need the necessary taxation and manpower support. This is the most basic Confucian etiquette and music education. "
Zhu Feng was confused when he heard this.
Zhang Zhou looked up at the North Korean envoy and asked, "I think it is very bad that you are giving women to Tang Yin. Women can Send it to Liaodong, no matter what your origin, Daming will need it. You know, this is a resource on the grassland and can bring about the development of the ethnic group. "
The envoy asked "How many women?"
"The more, the better. Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Then the woman you gave to Tang Yin, I heard her name is Zhang Lushui. I like this person very much. Since Tang Yin won't accept it, just send her to me." ”
“Ah”
The envoy was also surprised.
People say that Duke Lai is greedy for money and lustful, and some people say that this is a rumor. It seems that the rumor That's not true.
Zhu Feng also looked at Zhang Zhou and frowned slightly, meaning that you are so flirtatious, so why don't you accept it if someone else gives you a woman? Or do you just like this exotic feeling< /p>
Zhang Zhou said, "Don't get me wrong, I just appreciate this girl's musical talent. It is said that this girl is very good at singing, and it is not impossible to listen to music on a daily basis. In addition, I also want to find some younger women from your territory in North Korea and let their families move to Daming. I plan to open a singing and dancing hall so that they can show off their talents. ”
The envoys and Zhu Feng were dumbfounded.
They had never seen anyone like Zhang Zhou negotiating political terms.
He actually wanted to withdraw from North Korea. If you want to find a singing and dancing girl in the country, you have to go to Daming to open a restaurant specifically for people to perform. Wouldn't it be good for you to open a brothel directly?
"People, it's not just you who choose them. You want me to designate them myself. Let's try it." Well, maybe you can find it, maybe you can't. In order to avoid the separation of family members, I also agreed to let them move as a family and give them the status of Ming Dynasty's beloved people. Such an opportunity can be regarded as a kindness to ordinary ordinary people in North Korea. "
"Stop looking at it, go back early, and get things done quickly as I said. I haven't been feeling very well in Liaodong recently. I want to return to the capital as soon as possible to live a more stable life. When you can finish it, I can leave and return to the capital.
