Shi Fenglai is indeed losing his temper. His dignified cabinet minister, the Grand Secretary of Yinghua Palace, and the former governor of the Ming Dynasty in Kyushu Island are now restricted to this small house. I can't even help him to welcome His Majesty?

Isn't it just sick? Isn't it just about to die? Isn't it just not dead yet?

But when Shi Fenglai heard Emperor Chongzhen's voice, he changed his body and bowed to Emperor Chongzhen at the door and said, "Your Majesty is worried, I deserve to die!"

Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly took two steps, supported Shi Feng and smiled and said, "Shi Aiqing's body can be better, so I won't go there in vain. Don't care about anything else, the most important thing is to take good care of your body."

Shi Fenglai wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and choked and said, "I, thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

Shi Fenglai was really moved now.

What Emperor Chongzhen said should not care about other things, but not care about the bullshit rules. There is no king who comes to visit his seriously ill ministers. The ministers must die, otherwise it will be a hidden rule such as deceiving the king.

Emperor Chongzhen was not polite, and signaled Wang Chengen to join Shi Fenglai back to bed to rest, then he directly found a chair and sat down, and said with a smile: "I have read the memorials between Shi Aiqing and Shen Aiqing."

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen's expression was still smiling, Shi Fenglai and Shen Hao let go of most of their hearts that had been hanging.

In the early years, Emperor Chongzhen liked to be expressionless, and his joys and angers were rarely expressed directly on his face. However, with the recent years of the eastern and western battles and the southern and northern battles, Emperor Chongzhen became increasingly disliked to hide his joys and angers.

Since he is still laughing now, it means that even if Emperor Chongzhen is not very happy, he will probably be able to accept his two of them's proposals and will not do anything too big in Japan for the time being.

After pondering for a while, Shi Fenglai thought about it: "I think the reason why I should not be too hasty about Japan is, in addition to the fact that I still need the Japanese as supervisors in the Ming Dynasty, there is actually another plan."

Emperor Chongzhen said in a daze: "What else do Shi Aiqing have to think?"

Shi Fenglai said, "I call on Your Majesty, the current shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu, the general of the Shogunate who is in charge of the Japanese state, deeply learns the etiquette of our Ming Dynasty. He observes his words and looks at his colors, and everywhere expresses the meaning of moving towards our Ming Dynasty.

Perhaps, in more than ten or twenty years, Japan will be able to be attached like North Korea and Ryukyu.

It would be better for our Ming Dynasty to take down Japan without bloodshed than to start a war with it?"

Emperor Chongzhen said yellingly: "I will just talk to Shi Aiqing and Shen Aiqing if I have something to say today.

North Korea can attach itself, Ryukyu can attach itself, Myanmar can attach itself, and even Annan can attach itself, but Japan cannot attach itself!"

Shi Fenglai was stunned: "I am ignorant, don't you know?"

Emperor Chongzhen sneered: "North Korea and other places have been practicing the Central Plains civilization for a long time, and regard themselves as small Chinese everywhere. After being attached, they are actually the same as those of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Combined with the policies of immigrating to the border and the prohibition of marriage between the various tribes, they could no longer distinguish each other after decades, but Japan was different.

Shi Aiqing must have known that Emperor Guangwu of Han once enthroned the southern king of Wanu as King of Wanu and gave the seal of the Han king of Wanu.

However, in the third year of Daye, the king of the Japanese king, who had already changed the king to the emperor, recommended that the ancient emperor send Ono girl as envoy, and the letter submitted to Emperor Yang began with the title "Emperor East Emperor Keibashi Xi". It was compared to the emperor's origin. During the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, the country was renamed Japan and has been renamed to this day.

From sending the Sui envoy to sending the Tang envoy, and then to the former Song Dynasty, how much knowledge did these Japanese slaves learn from our Central Plains? But can they be respectful?

The former shogunate of Japan, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, wanted to use North Korea to attack the Ming Dynasty, which shows how the wolfish ambitions of that country were.

As the saying goes, if you are not my race, your heart will be different. I have no habit of raising a tiger to cause trouble. Even if this tiger is now a cat - when the cat grows into a tiger, it will eat people!"

Shi Fenglai nodded and skipped this section, no longer mentioning the topic of solving Japan without bloodshed.

After pondering for a while, Shi Fenglai continued, "Since Your Majesty has made up his mind, how dare you ask Your Majesty to summon the Lord of Japan after summoning Tokugawa Ikawa?"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "When I return to my country, Chen Aiqing can preside over the things here and give appropriate support to the king of Japan to make Japan more lively."

Chen Hao bowed and replied: "I obey the order."

As long as Emperor Chongzhen didn’t directly open a movie in Japan, the rest would be much easier to do.

In addition to supporting Tokugawa Iemitsu, he can also support the king of Japan and other daimyos.

The king of the Japanese would definitely want to take back his rights, even if it was the same as the Tokugawa I-Kao-Kao-Kao-Kao-Kao-Kao-Kao-Kao-Kao-Kao-Kao-Kao-Kao-Kao-Kao-Kao-Kao-Kao-Kao-Kao-Kao-Kao-Kao-Kao-Kao

As for other daimyos, who doesn’t want to try what it feels like to sit on the throne of the Great General of the Conquering Yi?

To put it bluntly, from top to bottom, all the civil and military ministers were most worried about by the civil and military officials, not natural disasters or man-made disasters, but by Emperor Chongzhen's chaos.

This man is so casual, no one can figure out what his next goal is - the preparations made for Jiannu will definitely have problems when applied to Annan, and who will be responsible at that time?

Being considered Emperor Chongzhen?

Stop being funny, the emperor cannot be wrong. Even if the emperor is wrong, it is the fault of the ministers below, not the emperor himself.

What are the civil and military ministers themselves?

When the board is beaten, who knows who loves, whoever dies will hurt...

...

When Emperor Chongzhen saw Tokugawa Iehiko, he felt angry first, and then he returned to stability.

Tokugawa Iemitsu is a typical Japanese figure, and it is most appropriate to describe it as short and ugly, especially the braid and a moustache, which is almost the same as the ronin samurai in later film and television dramas.

It was precisely this kind of dress that almost aroused the murderous intent in Emperor Chongzhen's heart.

Tokugawa Iemitsu did not feel the murderous intention of Emperor Chongzhen, because after entering the lobby, Tokugawa Iemitsu lowered his head throughout the journey and did not dare to look up at Emperor Chongzhen.

It has to be admitted that the guys from Honglu Temple and the Imperial College are indeed professional in brainwashing.

The etiquette of Tokugawa Iemitsu kneeling down is very standard: "The minister of Tokugawa Iemitsu, the minor minister of the lower country, will I bow to His Majesty the emperor of the upper country, and I wish you long live, long live, long live!"

If it weren't for this iconic outfit and his short figure, it would be difficult for Emperor Chongzhen to associate the guy who was so standardized in front of him with the Japanese slaves who were impeccably standardized with the Japanese slaves.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was squinting his eyes, picked up the skill of the King of Face-paralyzing, and then hid all the expressions on his face, and said lightly: "Stand flat, give him a seat."

After Tokugawa Iemitsu leaned over to thank him again, he carefully got to his position and sat in a straight kneeling position.

Emperor Chongzhen, who saw Tokugawa Iemitsu's performance, smiled secretly in his heart, suppressed the urge to laugh loudly, and asked expressionlessly: "I have been traveling here, where is the king of the Japanese king?"

Tokugawa Izumi felt a sudden heart and quickly leaned over and said, "I will tell you, the lord of my country was overjoyed when he heard that His Majesty's surrender. He had already set out from the capital and came to Kyushu Island to meet the saint. He would arrive soon."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "Then why did you arrive first before the lord of the Japanese king arrived?"

Tokugawa Iemitsu said, "I heard from Your Majesty that I have studied under Mr. Shi. Although I was not included in Mr. Shi's wall, I have always admired Mr. Shi. This time I heard that Mr. Shi was ill, so I rushed over first."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded again and agreed with Tokugawa Iemitsu's remarks.

Chen Hao also took the opportunity to bow and said, "I have a message to Your Majesty. General Tokugawa has long admired the culture of our Central Plains and intends to expand the number of Ming envoys. At the same time, he will change the five-year period to three-year period. I hope Your Majesty will allow it?"

Behind the twelve strings of crowns, Emperor Chongzhen was expressionless, which made Tokugawa Iemitsu who had secretly looked at him and felt a little unsure.

After a while, until Tokugawa Ie-Kiang began to feel uneasy, Emperor Chongzhen said lightly: "Sure."

Although there is only one word, it is like the sound of nature when it comes to Tokugawa Iemitsu's ears.

The issue of the number of envoys sent by the Ming Dynasty was irrelevant to the Ming Dynasty, but it was very important to the entire Japanese.

Just like sending the Tang envoy, the culture and technology brought back by these people are all knowledge that can promote Japan's development forward.

At the same time, the number of places sent to the Ming envoys was changed to tribute every five years to tribute every three years, which allowed me to gain more bargaining chips to win over other daimyos, and also to increase my strength a little more.

It was already a blessing to think that these two conditions could be achieved, but I didn’t expect that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty would be so generous and agreed to two conditions at once?

Tokugawa Iemitsu, who was overjoyed, hurriedly leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, Xiao Xiaoming feels the Five Insiders."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded slightly, but his heart was filled with joy.

If you send a Ming envoy to bring back advanced civilization, you can indeed do it. After all, the Four Books, Five Classics and Eight-Legend Articles are enough for him to learn from in Japan.

After all, the Imperial College of Ming Dynasty teaches more about the Four Books and Five Classics, and the Eight-Legends of the Imperial Examination, rather than various technical and technical techniques. Those technical and technical techniques are all classified into the Royal Academy. Those with mature technology will first be applied to the military, and the basics will slowly spread to the people.

Besides, even if all kinds of skills do not involve the military, even if they are simply folk technology, who can try it out? These Ming envoys will have the opportunity to learn?

Can you really be a Jinyiwei eater?

As for changing the tribute every five years to every three years, there is actually no problem.

Emperor Chongzhen, who likes to run to the Emperor Shicai to recharge after carefully understanding the tribute system, had to give his ancestors a thumbs up - Gao, it's too high, it's simply the height of the high Lego!

Many people in later generations thought that tribute was a loss to the Central Plains court. The number of tributed items offered by the tribute country was obviously disproportionate to the number of gifts given by the Celestial Empire. Moreover, the economic value of the tributed items was far lower than that of the gifts given by the rebirth, but what about it?

In fact, the significance of the tribute system has never lies in the tribute trade itself, but in the national relations circle constructed through one of the political and economic acts of tribute.

In the tribute system, the core power of the dynasty is not the jurisdiction of each vassal state, but the power of judgment. The dynasty has the right to make judgments in conflicts between countries; the legitimacy of the regimes of each country has the right to make judgments.

The corresponding ruling power is to maintain authority and the Celestial Empire can enforce it if it is dissatisfied with the ruling. The most common method used by the Central Plains dynasty is also the most terrifying method, which is "residing tribute".

Jue Gong means rejecting the tribute to the side, which means excluding the tribute system. It is equivalent to the five major gangsters in later generations who joined forces to kick a small country out of the WTO and also kicked the United Nations, and the whole world will not take him to play.

This kind of punishment is definitely not a joke - the strongest Chinese father said that no matter you, there are still a lot of Chinese father's godsons around him, and as long as the Chinese father signaled a little, what would you do if these godsons would do?

If you didn't say anything, whoever was punished by Chinese father would kill him! If his land, minerals, people, gold and silver would become his own family?

If the Chinese father is so angry that once the Chinese father sends troops, who will not be excited to "set up a large army to respond to the king's army"?

Moreover, who is in charge of the pricing power in the tribute system?

It is definitely not in the hands of these godsons, or even in the hands of the sons of the royal family and princes of the Ming Dynasty, but is firmly controlled by the court.

To put it simply, how much is the value of North Korea’s tribute to ten Dongzhu?

If we look at North Korea itself, this thing can be worth about 1,000 taels of silver, but in the tribute system, it may be worth only 500 taels of silver.

The same pound of tea may only be worth one tael of silver in the Ming Dynasty, but it may become ten taels of silver in the tribute system.

This is the tribute system in which the Zhongyuan father has mastered the pricing power - because only the Zhongyuan father has things like tea and silk, so how much money is the amount of money!

Can you be dissatisfied? OK, you are dissatisfied. Some people are eager to pay tribute. At worst, they will exclude you from the tribute system and then signal their godsons...

In other words, unless the Central Plains dynasty is out of the way, tribute is definitely a sure profit and loss.

Of course, the fact that the Central Plains Dynasty recorded small notebooks or the crying miserable book was too powerful, so that when they exchanged ten Dongzhus with a pound of tea, they were shouting that they had lost money and lost their money. By the way, they let the historian record it in the history books, which gave people an illusion.

The Central Plains Dynasty was stupid, with more money, come quickly - then the Central Plains father smiled and counted money at home, and went out to cry and cried.

Now, Tokugawa Iegun, a fool, actually wants to change the five-year dynasty to three-year dynasty?

This is a good thing. For those unconventional people from the Ministry of Revenue, and the style of Honglu Temple, which has become more and more biased, will not even be fooled by these shorts, even Emperor Chongzhen travels through time in vain!
