During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, fifteen "non-expropriation countries" were designated, among which North Korea was ranked first.

And unlike other vassal states who are fence-headed by Qin and Chu, North Korea adheres to the "majorism" for most of the time period, and treats the Ming Dynasty as its own father. It is the greatest blessing to be the dog of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the word "dog" in the Ming Dynasty was not as insulting as later generations. Many people even took pride in their lackeys.

The reason is that the Lee family usurped the throne of Wang's Goryeo, and the improper acquisition of the country led to insufficient legitimacy of the regime. They could only crazily please the central dynasty to obtain the canonization to maintain the correct authorization of the legal system.

In addition, under the education of Confucianism, the development of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism in Korea was even more extreme than that of the Ming Dynasty. They believed that they were "kingdom sanctification" and even small Chinese in foreign lands, which was more than one level higher than other barbarians who were not educated.

Based on these factors, the Korean envoys who paid tribute to each tribute are ranked first, which demonstrates their special status.

Zhu Qizhen looked as if he was so naughty when he saw this scene. The envoys from foreign countries were ranked at the same time. You didn’t stand wherever you wanted. What was the intention of the Wasan Mission’s approach? Is it openly disobeying the tribute etiquette of the Ming Dynasty?

The four barbarian envoys stood in front of the emperor's throne, and the black crowd was nearly a thousand people. You should know that the number of foreign countries in the Ming Dynasty was as high as more than one hundred and forty.

Now the Zhengtong Dynasty is at the peak of the Ming Dynasty and is at its peak, and it is regarded as the princess of the world in all directions. It is not surprising that the tribute mission is so large.

According to the interview process, the Honglu Temple clerk will come forward and kneel down to report the situation of the emperor coming to pay homage to the envoys. At the same time, the deacons of the Ming Dynasty will also remind the envoys to perform their rituals in accordance with the Chinese etiquette requirements, and submit a letter to the country to contribute local things.

Now the problem arises. In theory, the North Korean envoys should be summoned to submit their offerings, but in fact, the Imperial Envoys are in the first place. How should we introduce it now?

Should we strictly follow the tribute etiquette process, or should we be randomly accused and ordered according to the position?

A mere Honglu Temple clan member dared not make such a decision in front of the emperor and the civil and military officials of the court.

So a strange scene appeared. The emperor could not surrender his identity and announced that he would let anyone meet first. The officials present did not dare to make any comments in the tribute ceremony without the emperor's order. The sacrificial servants and officials in charge of etiquette did not have the authority or qualification to make decisions.

No one wants to be troublesome, and no one is willing to take responsibility.

The rigid system of the Ming Dynasty officialdom was really revealed at this moment!

After a brief stalemate, Hu Yi, the Minister of Rites, planned to stand up and scold the envoy of the Assassination. After all, if he really wanted to pursue the matter later, as the highest chief of the Ministry of Rites, he would definitely not be able to escape responsibility.

However, just as Hu Yi was about to step out of the shift, he saw Shen Yichen stand up first and directly replace the power of the Ming Pian official, shouting loudly: "The envoy of the North Korean people came forward to offer their gifts!"

Shen Yichen's order made all the civil and military officials present look at each other. It turns out that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. If he pays tribute to such a national ceremony, this kid dares to act cheaply, so he is really not afraid of messing up?

But for the Honglu Temple clan who was sweating and trembling at this moment, the order issued by Shen Yichen simply saved himself from the fire and water!

The people of the Honglu Temple did not dare to hesitate at all, and quickly walked to the North Korean envoys, leading them from the four barbarians to a position closer to Zhu Qizhen. At the same time, they placed the North Korean letter of commemoration and the gift of tribute on the case held by the deacon.

Then the officials of Taichang Temple played rituals and music, and the Korean envoys and their followers knelt down to the Ming Emperor Zhu Qizhen. This etiquette not only wanted to demonstrate the majesty of the Celestial Empire, but also to enhance the envoys' awe of the Ming Dynasty!

After the ceremony, the official Xuanbiao took the letter of the North Korean letter and read it in public. The content of the letter was full of praise to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, as well as his surrender and respect to the Celestial Kingdom.

After hearing this letter of nationality, Zhu Qizhen's expression finally looked a little better. This is what he wanted to come from all directions and congratulate him from all directions!

After the announcement of the publication, the Xuanfang court's entrusted official displayed the tributes presented by North Korea in front of everyone.

In fact, most of the tributes from foreign countries are local specialties, and then under the "thin come and go" system of the Ming Dynasty, they exchanged several times or even dozens of times of rewards. Some small foreign countries even fought for a place to compete for a tribute.

"Fine come and go" is essentially a kind of moral and cultural cultivation that treats people well, emphasizing the reciprocity of respecting and not coming and going is not polite.

As a result, the Ming Dynasty imposed the personality into the national standard, and the act of tribute became that the Ming people were stupid and had a lot of money, so they came to pick up the money quickly.

Or let Chen Yichen look at it from the perspective of later generations, Daming is simply a pure and great injustice!

But it would be better to be vain and face if the emperor and officials who could not withstand the influence of the ideological thoughts. After the North Korean mission's letter and square objects were displayed, they swept away the previous tense and low atmosphere, and everyone was in a state of joy...

At the same time, Zhu Qizhen also politely talked with the Korean envoys, and everything was fixed, such as asking the envoy whether the king was safe and whether he was working hard on the way to the court.

The Korean envoy ended his visit, and the clerk of the Honglu Temple also understood Chen Yichen's intention and directly summoned the envoys in the order of tributes over the years.

Japan, Big and Big Ryukyu, Annan, Zhenla, Siam...

The envoys of foreign countries met the emperor under the leadership of the Honglu Temple, which made the faces of the Wassad envoys standing in the first place extremely embarrassing.

The reason why they robbed the North Korean mission was to give Ming Dynasty a warning, and on the other hand, they were to warn North Korea.

You should know that Ye Yi first issued an "elected letter" in the name of Tutuobuhua. It is impossible to be so naive that he thought that an imperial letter could make North Korea surrender. His original intention was to test North Korea's reaction.

Now for the Wasai tribe, the three Guliangha guards are already in their pockets, and it is only a matter of time before they can be annexed. The next step is to take Liaodong directly, capture the twenty-five guards of Liaodong Dusi of the Ming Dynasty, and obtain the land population of the Jurchen tribes.

But I also knew that once the three Guliangha guards were annexed, no matter how slow the Ming Dynasty reacted, it would be impossible for it to allow itself to seize Liaodong. If the Ming emperor ordered the vassal states to send troops in the name of the emperor, the Wassai tribe would be very likely to be attacked in the abdomen.

However, the result of this temptation disappointed Yesen, and North Korea was beyond expectations for his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.

It would be fine if it was not afraid of the Mongolian cavalry, but North Korea did not even have the beginning and the end. It immediately reported to the Ming Dynasty guard of Huining and made a clear statement.

"There is no two days, and the people have no two masters. Now that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty has unified the world, why do you make such unreasonable words? It must be without your reason!"

This passage made Yesen feel very embarrassed. He inherited his father's will and controlled the Khan of the Tatar tribe, Tuotubuhua, and used the emperor to unify Mongolia. He was preparing to show his strength and revitalize the glory of the Dayuan, but he could not even scare a mere North Korea.

So he ordered the envoys to pay tribute to find the place. Now it seems that this move is useless and even feels like he is humiliating himself.

After the Ming Dynasty met with the envoys of the vassal states, it was the turn of the most powerful "Beidi" Wasat tribe in the Wasat tribe.

As a result, just as the Honglu Temple Mingzhan was about to announce it, Chen Yichen once again left the squad and stood in front of the ministers, and shook his head at the Mingzhan.

If it were any time before, the process of tribute gifts would not have been stopped by the cabinet master and the six ministers of the ministers of the Ministry of Justice, the praise officer would definitely not be able to hold it.

This does not mean that the Pian Zheng is so powerful, but that he cannot afford the consequences of interrupting the etiquette system.

But for some reason, Chen Yichen had not spoken this time, but just shook his head and the praising official chose to obey. He did not continue to announce the interview with the envoy of the Sect.

After seeing this, all the civil and military officials looked at each other and were extremely surprised.

Is Chen Yichen so arrogant? He interrupted the tribute gift in front of the emperor. What's even more outrageous is that the praise officer of the Honglu Temple actually took the risk to obey!

The only sixth-rank Zhan Shifu is in the right Chunfang, and this sixth-rank official is still a false title. If you only have a real job, you can be as prestige as a member of the sixth-rank Hanlin Academy?

"Duke Chengguo, his father has no dog son, and Chen Xiu has already revealed his talent as a general."

After seeing this scene, British Duke Zhang Fu had an unstoppable envy in his eyes.

You should know that he also got a son when he was old, and his family was not prosperous. He had only two sons in name, just like Zhu Yong, Duke Chengguo. Moreover, his legitimate son Zhang Zhong was disabled and could not inherit the title. If nothing unexpected happened, he could only rely on his concubine's son to inherit the title a hundred years later.

During this period, whether it was lectures in the Imperial College or attending the lectures, the British Duke Zhang Fu actually had several dealings with Chen Yichen.

Of course, except for Chen Yichen's greetings, Zhang Fu only looked at and judged the young man from the perspective of a bystander.

Looking step by step, British Duke Zhang Fu was increasingly amazed at Chen Yichen's talent. This does not refer to his talent in academics, but his actual ability, which is too many than his peers.

In addition to some impulse and out of order, there is no shortage of courage, strategy and responsibility. Today, I also discovered that I have a convincing leader talent, which is the general's qualities of those who achieve great things!

How can you not be envious of the British public if you are both civil and military?

Hearing the words of British Duke Zhang Fu, Zhu Yong showed a proud smile on his face, and at the same time, he felt a little dull in his heart.

However, Chen Yichen is not his eldest son, otherwise the Duke of Cheng would be able to be prosperous in his hands!

On the other hand, Chen Yichen interrupted the praises of the official, he looked at the envoy of the Wasan, who was standing at the top of the tribute envoy below, and said word by word: "The envoy of the Envoy of Xuan Sulu came forward to offer something!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the whole audience changed instantly. The tribute envoys and civil and military officials all looked at Shen Yichen's identity, and their eyes were shocked.

Chen Yichen skipped the envoy of the Imperial House, don’t he intend to let them pay tribute?

Especially the civil and military officials present, they almost fell off when they heard Chen Yichen's announcement!

If Chen Yichen stood up and made a quick decision, proclaiming that the North Korean envoys would first meet, and could also describe it as a newborn calf not afraid of a tiger. Then Chen Yichen's current words and actions are not perfunctory, but a naked usurpation!

Even if the envoy of the Washen had the intention of being unjust and provoked the Ming Dynasty, it would not be your turn to decide whether to refuse them to pay tribute. This is the authority of the emperor!

Chen Yichen was impatient with the power of Emperor Yue!

"Yuan Fu, this son is too rude and arrogant. He is so arrogant in front of so many envoys in the country, which is simply a detriment to the emperor's majesty!"

Cao Nai was so angry when he saw this scene. If there were no foreign envoys present, outsiders could not have seen the Ming Dynasty joke, he would have to go out and scold Chen Yichen on the spot.

If you are above and below, you should be punished by your superiors and inferiors, and you should be punished by your actions!

Looking at Cao Nai's excited appearance, Yang Pu just replied indifferently: "Wan Zhong, Du Jun lost his etiquette before."

"Yuan Fu, Chen Yichen has abducted power in front of the king. Do we still care about the loss of etiquette in front of the king?"

Guli

In the past, in order to prevent Chen Yichen from being attracted by Wang Zhen, Yang Pu would give this kid some olive branches, which Cao Nai could understand.

However, the ruler, minister, father and son are moral and moral. Chen Yichen's move put the emperor in, and why did he call the emperor on behalf of the emperor?

If this behavior is not stopped, the court will be in the future without any ministers!

Not only Cao Nai was excited, but all the officials who participated in the tribute ceremony could not contain their anger. Especially the censors of the Kedao, many of them were eager to try and were waiting to leave the list to impeach Chen Yichen.

Zhu Qizhen on the imperial throne stared at Chen Yichen's back expressionlessly. Although he issued a sage to grant Chen Yichen the identity of a special envoy, he had full authority to deal with tribute matters!

But the power was not delegated to the point where Chen Yichen could decide the tribute of the vassal states.

The great emperor's grace is not your capital to act recklessly. If Chen Yichen cannot solve this problem perfectly, Zhu Qizhen will never condone it.

The essence of the emperor's mind technique is the combination of momentum, law, and art, plus the word "ruthless".

Only by giving kindness and power can one control one’s superiors!

Chen Yichen saw all the comments, anger, and doubts of the ministers. He did not give any explanation, and it was impossible to explain anything in such an occasion.

After praising the ceremony, he looked as usual and prepared to return to the train, without any indication of his behavior that he had just done.

However, just as Shen Yichen stepped forward, the envoy of the thorn below finally couldn't hold it in. He spoke loudly and questioned: "Ming Dynasty officials, are you trying to refuse my thorns' thorns' thorns' tribute?"

Hearing this question, a very undetectable curve appeared on the corner of Chen Yichen's mouth. I'm waiting for this sentence.

"Whether to accept the tribute is decided by my Emperor Ming Dynasty. You shouldn't ask me about this sentence."
