Chapter 192: Da Ming, You've Changed
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!
After three crisp whips, the eunuch with a loud voice stood outside the Fengtian Gate and shouted: "Grand ceremony, begin!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the drums were noisy all around, and the flags were fluttering,
Hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in Fengtian Hall to congratulate Wansheng.
Lan Yu was wearing a unicorn suit, but his unicorn suit was different from others, it was woven gold, and the whole person was yellow and clear, which was particularly conspicuous...... This is the reward of the battle of Lao Zhu Yuerhai, destroying the Northern Yuan, respectfully asking the jade seal to return to the dynasty, and Lan Yu deserves this reward.
After the blue jade, there are many heroes, all wearing festive clothes, and at a glance, all of them are red, like the groom's officials.
Lan Yu swaggered and walked in the front, even the vassal king was in the back.
Don't be unconvinced, Huaixi Xungui, that is the founding hero, the vassal king is a generation lower than them, and he can only be ranked behind. But when Lan Yu stepped in, she was startled.
I saw Lao Zhu sitting in the middle without a problem, and it was reasonable for the prince Zhu Biao to stand on the left, but the question was on Lao Zhu's right, how could there be a young man standing on the right side of Lao Zhu?
looks pretty good, wearing a red unicorn suit, although it is a little worse than his own golden one, but it is still very conspicuous. Lan Yu subconsciously rubbed her eyes, obediently, isn't this Liu Chun?
How did this rabbit cub run up on it and stand?
When Lao Tzu kowtows to His Majesty, wouldn't Liu Chun also stand in front of him and accept my half salute? Little cub, I am your future father-in-law, you dare to deceive me?
Lan Yu was furious, and his old face turned red.
And behind Lan Yu, Xin Guogong Tang and the corners of his mouth smiled, Song Guogong Feng Sheng, and Ying Guogong Fu Youde couldn't help but marvel. I really underestimated Liu Chun, I didn't expect His Majesty to love him so much! can actually stand next to the prince, could it be that there is a rumor that this kid belongs to His Majesty?
Otherwise, my son wouldn't have this treatment!
How did these people know that Liu Chun could stand here entirely because he helped Lao Zhu save millions of taels of real money. If it weren't for that, Liu Chun wouldn't even be qualified to participate in the ceremony.
After spending so much money and buying a scalper ticket, what else can you say? Of course, it's time to watch the show!
"Kneel!"
Liu Chun shouted out in his voice, Lan Yu gritted his teeth, and quickly knelt down, all the nobles, congratulations to Lao Zhu on his longevity. Zhu Yuanzhang looked excited, and couldn't help but stand up, he took two steps, stood with his head held high, full of domineering.
"I raised the three-foot sword, swept the south of the Yangtze River, drove the Great Yuan in the north, restored the Chinese clothes, and relieved the people of the Central Plains. Twenty-two years have passed since his accession to the throne. You and others followed me to fight in the south and the north, and made great achievements, and I did not hesitate to reward, and you and others were each given a hundred taels of gold, plus one year. Yin Yizi is the commander. ”
Hearing Lao Zhu's reward to the ministers, Liu Chun always felt that he was gritting his back molars and saying that, according to the character of this Hong Wuye, he was absolutely unwilling to waste it.
However, at the moment of the grand ceremony, I can't help but appreciate it, but fortunately, there are not many nobles, and they are still within the scope of bearing, and Lao Zhu will not be too painful.
Lan Yu took the lead in thanking and stepped aside.
Immediately afterwards, he was the son of the clan, led by the three princes, and congratulated Lao Zhu on his birthday.
They are both courtiers and sons, and Zhu Yuanzhang's tone is inevitably much harsher, quite a strict father's attitude.
"The so-called fighting the country is easy, but it is difficult to defend the country. I have never slacked off for a moment, and I dare not say that the world is under great control. You are a vassal king, ruling thousands of living beings, and the responsibility is extremely heavy. You must not be a little arrogant, let alone prey on the people and pervert the law for bribes. You must know that water can carry a boat or capsize a boat, this truth, as a child of the Zhu family, must be kept in mind. I don't give you a reward, I just want you to study hard, be a good man, and don't ruin the royal reputation! ”
What else can you vassal kings say, the above is their own father, don't say that they won't give money, even if they are beaten, they have to endure it.
They retreated, followed by civil officials, and Fengyang folks, who came to congratulate Lao Zhu on his birthday.
When he saw his hometown, Zhu Yuanzhang finally had a lot of smiles on his face. His Majesty the Emperor actually walked to the middle of the big guys, as if they were old friends, chatting about the past, and laughing heartily from time to time.
The congratulatory ceremony, which was originally scheduled for half an hour, was stunned for an hour, and Zhu Yuanzhang was still unsatisfied.
There was no way, Liu Chun could only secretly hand a note to Lao Zhu, wanting to say that there was still a dinner, a group of envoys from the vassal kingdom were waiting outside, and it was their turn.
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, isn't he the barbarian of the vassal country? What's wrong with making them wait a little longer?
Although Lao Zhu thought so, he still followed the process to meet with these envoys of the vassal state.
When these people came up, Zhou Wang Zhu Hu, and several others couldn't help but snicker...... I don't know what the people in the Ministry of Rites think, they are obviously a bunch of barbarians, and they have to dress them in the official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty, one by one, black and black, thin and thin, and they wear official uniforms, and they are not majestic at all.
It can only be said that they perfectly interpreted the words "Mu Monkey and Crown".
The Ministry of Rites also knew that they had planned to let the envoys of various countries wear their own domestic rites...... Wakoku, Goryeo, Annam, Ryukyu and other places are fine, and you can basically wear them out to meet people. But in some Nanyang countries, their most expensive dresses, that is, two pieces of cloth, cover the important places, and then put a lot of peacock feathers on their heads.
There is no way but to dress uniformly. Anyway, it won't make jokes.
Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't care about this, anyway, in his eyes, barbarians should be like this, if they are all polite and well-dressed, then are they still barbarians!
"Since ancient times, the kingdom has been hospitable and has opened its doors to welcome visitors from all over the world. You congratulate me on my birthday, and I will be kind to you. The kingdom will not easily raise troops to fight, and will award the country that does not conquer, a gold medal! As a national heirloom, give you and so on! ”
As he spoke, a little eunuch held a tray and presented the gold medals to every envoy present.
The land of non-conquest!
That is, the kingdom will not fight us, right?
Many messengers trembled with their hands and took the gold medal, and they were so excited that this trip was finally not in vain.
But Lan Yu didn't think so, because he found out how the gold medal of this non-conscripted country was so similar to their Danshu Iron Coupon! Wouldn't there be an exception to the above?
really let Lan Yu guess correctly, this thing is also Liu Chun's idea, anyway, with him involved, there will be no good thing.
Liu Chun asked Lao Zhu a question, the Ming Dynasty listed the countries that would not be conquered, but what if those vassal states invaded the Ming Dynasty? Don't look at the current situation that no country is willing to look for death, but throughout history, barbarians are in the middle of the country, it happens from time to time, and you can't make trouble for yourself and tie your hands and feet, right?
Under Liu Chun's prodding, an article was added behind the gold medal, there is nothing illegal in the vassal country, and the kingdom must not be conquered for no reason!
To put it bluntly, of course the obedient will not fight, and if the disobedient will ask for more blessings!
As for how to define whether to listen or not, this depends on Daming's mood......
Liu Chun played a word game, of course, this is just an appetizer, and the next reward made many people laugh out of internal injuries. No need to ask, it's also Liu Chun's handiwork!
"I Suzhier and others admire the education of the country, and the heart of learning is hungry and thirsty. The classics of the kingdom are the condensation of the painstaking efforts of the sages of the past dynasties, how can they be passed on lightly? On the occasion of longevity, I am especially gracious and bestow you with four books and five classics, one hundred sets for each vassal state, and after you get the classics, you must carefully study them and understand the great meaning of the sage's words. Do a good job of governing the country and educating the people with the way of sages. In this way, the four seas can be peaceful, all the people can be happy, and they will always enjoy peace. ”
……
All the envoys of the foreign domain were dumbfounded, they had long heard that the rewards of the kingdom were quite rich, they had spent a lot of money before, and there were even debts, all counting on the rewards to make up for the losses, and some even dreamed that they wanted to get more money back!
This time it's good, nothing...... It can't be said that a gold-plated brand and a box of books can be worth much?
Da Ming!
How have you changed?
Became so stingy?
Many of the envoys of the vassal kingdom scolded the street in their hearts.
It's over, this mission is a complete loss!
They complained bitterly, but fortunately, Lao Zhu was still polite, the reward was gone, and the meal still had to be eaten. So this dinner, that's called a sumptuous, all kinds of dishes, dazzling, not only beautiful, but also delicious.
The messengers were relieved that they had not received the reward, so they ate it back! These guys don't want to think about it, can they eat it back? They didn't care, anyway, they stuffed hard, and some people found that the utensils for the imperial banquet were particularly good-looking, and they also put them in their sleeves.
Liu Sanwu saw it in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched, Liu Chun, Liu Chun! There's no good thing with you kid!
Longevity Ceremony, what a good atmosphere, you have been disturbed.
There is no way, the old man can only instruct those Hanlin, pick a good note, and omit it if it should not be written, this is also the Spring and Autumn penmanship, what the saint does, that's right......
Just when the sack of the imperial banquet reached its frenzy, suddenly the sound of firecrackers sounded outside, and two huge hot air balloons rose and threw a couplet from the sky.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty on his long life!"
The envoys hurried out, staring blankly at the sky, and the plate hidden in someone's sleeve fell out and shattered, but they didn't notice it...... Could it be that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is really the son of heaven? Otherwise, how can there be celestial birthdays?
