Daming primary school students

Chapter 700
Historically, the top level of the Ming court made mistakes in making foreign decisions one after another. Qin Dewei's current main intention is to try his best to avoid this trend.

The reasons for decision-making mistakes are subjective malice and lack of information.

For the problem of subjective malice, one can only do one's best and obey the destiny. If you really encounter such a pervert, you can only admit that you are unlucky.

But for the lack of information, the traveler is the best at remedying it.

So what Qin Dewei has done in the past six months is to use the trust of Emperor Jiajing to repeatedly "brainwash" Emperor Jiajing, the meaning of which is to complete the information.

His Majesty!Forbidden sea has no effect!Can't prevent Japanese pirates at all!Smuggling is still rampant!
His Majesty!Your money is still earned by others!Japanese state-owned silver!Japan is in civil turmoil!
His Majesty!Japan itself cannot eradicate Japanese pirates!The Japanese state has signs of being disrespectful to Daming!So what should Daming do!
Although Qin Zhongtang may not know what to do in the future is the right way, but he always knows what to do to make mistakes.

Until today, there are finally staged results, and the silver medal bestowed by Emperor Jiajing is a symbol of support.

At this time, a eunuch came over with a silver medal and awarded it to Qin Dewei on the spot.

After Qin Dewei finished accepting it, Emperor Jiajing dismissed the others, and said to Qin Dewei himself:

"I think that people are the most deceitful at the time. If I lose the secrets, my monarch and ministers will be killed by others. Now I give you the seal of the secrets to verify its authenticity. In addition, all the secrets mentioned can be written in a small book with a certain name on the back of the page. , you can use the word loyalty."

Qin Dewei received orders again and again, which is why they are dense and sparse.

No seal, no signature, only sealed with a silver seal unknown to others, and only a single word known only to the emperor is written in the signature.

After Qin Dewei exited the front hall of Renshou Palace, he took a peek at the silver medal, only to see that the characters on the silver medal vaguely read "Loyalty and Uprightness".

For now, in theory, only Emperor Jiajing and Qin Dewei know the words on this silver medal.

But a theory is a theory, and Qin Dewei couldn't understand why the silver medals of many ministers were all recorded in later generations.

But in any case, the confidentiality of the secret memorial is at least much greater than that of the ordinary memorial, so Qin Dewei can finally write something that cannot be written in the ordinary memorial.

After discussing major national affairs, the great scholars walked out of the Renshou Palace one after another, but their demeanors were different.

The one who did not pre-order maintenance was refreshed, while the other two were both annoyed and indignant.

They parted ways outside the palace gate, and the one who didn't attend to the maintenance went east to the Yinghe Gate and went back to Wenyuan Pavilion, while the other two went south to Wuyi Palace to Zhilu.

Xia Yan and Yan Song are different from elders like the late chief assistant Li Shi and the current nominal second assistant Gu Dingchen. They all have a strong desire for power in their hearts.

The history books commented that Xia Yan was "tyrannical" when he was the first assistant, while Yan Song was "specialized", and it was better after being dealt with by Emperor Jiajing.

With Qin Dewei so blatantly poaching a corner of power, the two elders, "Bossy" and "Specialist", would be in a hell if they could be in a good mood.

The point is that they watched all this happen!

On the issue of barbarian affairs, Qin Dewei didn't have any conspiracy and tricks, and the whole process was in front of their faces, forcibly seizing power without any concealment!

It's not that they don't want to struggle, but they are far worse than Qin Dewei in professionalism. Resistance has no effect except to make Qin Dewei more excited.

Then Qin Dewei's anecdotes about Dongyang and Xifan are so precious, and he can speak in front of the emperor, and it will be even more difficult to stop him from obtaining the right to go to the secretariat in the future.

Walking to the courtyard in front of the Wuyi Palace, Yan Song said to Xia Yan a little annoyed: "The barbarian affairs are all in the hands of Qin Dewei. Just now you are in the Renshou Palace, why didn't you speak to stop it!"

Does self-deprecating talk work?Xia Yan replied indifferently: "Don't let Qin Dewei focus on foreign affairs, let him interfere in the government affairs of the court?

Instead of letting Qin Dewei focus on other aspects, it is better to let him concentrate on foreign affairs outside. "

Xia Shoufu's response is not known whether it is helpless self-consolation or the essence of dialectics.

No matter what, it is just barbarian affairs, not the mainstream in court affairs.

"Shou Kui thinks that barbarian affairs are nothing serious? This is just the beginning!" Yan Ge said angrily.

Xia Yan was really surprised, the Yan Song he knew was very tolerant, he was always willing to lower himself at critical moments, but unexpectedly Qin Dewei broke his defense today.

He also heard Yan Song angrily say: "The ancestors of Sijue Ci, exposed to frost and dew, cut thorns, so as to have a place the size of the cabinet!
If we treat it with no pity and give it to others, it is like abandoning grass and mustard, abandoning the middle hall of Wenyuan Pavilion today, and abandoning the barbarian government office tomorrow, and then we will have to sleep overnight.Starting to look at the four realms, and Qin Dewei is coming to an end!
However, the space for the cabinet is limited, the desire to tyrannize the Qin Dynasty is insatiable, and the invasion will become more urgent, and the victory of the strong and the weak will be judged without fighting!

The ancients said that if the land is the Qin Dynasty, you still hold the salary to put out the fire. If the salary is not exhausted, the fire will not be extinguished!Think about it first! "

Xia Yan: "."

Since the "breakup", the two have rarely had such a direct dialogue.

But these two people are already enemies, and naturally it is impossible to reach any real consensus. It is not so much communication as it is to vent their emotions.

Yan Song caught a glimpse of Zhang Chao, Minister of the Ministry of Rites strolling in the yard, and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "If Minister Zhang enters the cabinet one day, how will he teach your good students a lesson?"

Zhang Chao thought for a while and said, "The cabinet and the cabinet are internal affairs, regardless of foreign affairs!"

Yan Song: "."

With Emperor Jiajing's current style, even the ministers have disappeared, let alone the envoys of the mere "vassal states".

But after being brainwashed by Qin Dewei, Emperor Jiajing suddenly became interested in the Japanese envoys again, so he passed down an edict to receive the Japanese envoys and deputy tribute envoys in Xiyuan three days later, and hold a royal banquet for them.

The reason why it was three days later was because there was time for Honglu Temple to teach the etiquette of the barbarians.

The two envoys Huxin Shuoding and Ceyan Zhouliang received the edict, needless to say they were overwhelmed by the imperial edict, they nervously studied etiquette with the officials of Honglu Temple for three days.

No matter what the upper-class cultural people in Japan think, Da Mingzi is the "co-lord" in name, and it is an honor to meet Da Mingzi.

Then Qin Dewei temporarily disappeared from the presence of the two envoys, and Qin Zhongtang did not intend to participate in this pilgrimage.

How to guide the barbarians to meet the Emperor of Heaven and answer questions should be the power of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, and one must know how to delegate power.

On the day of the court meeting, the two envoys were led to Xiyuan.After the red-tape dance worship, Emperor Jiajing asked a few words on the occasion.

Then Ce Yan and Zhou Liang presented a poem saying: "Thousands of miles make the stars worship the heavens, and the five clouds hold them in front of the jade tower. The only way to offer the king is to have a boundless life. I am the fairy of Ridong Pengdao."

Emperor Jiajing casually gave back a poem saying: "Dongyi has courtesy and trustworthiness, far away from Chaoming and Ming Guoyi. Tribute should be treated to you from now on, and don't forget my dunyi when you come back."

After the ceremony, enter the banquet link.

Emperor Jiajing suddenly took out a note from his sleeve, looked at it, and questioned the envoys of the two monks, Shuoding and Zhou Liang:

"I heard that there is a mad monk Ruixi Zhoufeng in Erguo, who wrote the book "Treasures of Good Neighbors".

In the book, there is a sentence "Since the ancient times, the righteousness of the Eastern Emperor and the Western Emperor's resistance is the same today." What's the reason?

There is also the language of "the great Japanese god country", how to interpret it? "

Hearing Tong Shi's sentence-by-sentence translation, the two envoys were sweating profusely, Ce Yan and Zhou Liang hurriedly kowtowed and said to each other: "The detailed reason has been explained to Scholar Qin, and there is a reason for it.

I implore Your Majesty to be aware of the subtleties, there are false and crazy words in all countries, they really cannot represent the hearts of the people, and you must not generalize them!
What's more, Zhou Feng was a person decades ago. He has passed away, so there is no way to investigate. "

After the official translation, Emperor Jiajing snorted coldly: "After you return to the country, I will tell the king on my behalf that this mad monk will be opened up and killed, and all his works will be confiscated and burned!"

The "imperial decree" of Emperor Da Ming cannot be rejected, but Ce Yan and Zhou Liang only feel a deep pain.

He was selected by the Ouchi Clan, and the Ouchi Clan is just a powerful minister. How could he have the ability to flog the corpse of a former eminent monk and senior adviser to the shogunate and destroy his books?

But today's "King of Japan", that is, the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiharu has no real power at all, let alone the ability and motivation to carry out this imperial decree.

There is no other way but to take the imperial decree back first, and then fool around.

Emperor Jiajing took out the note and looked at it again, and then said again: "From my point of view, it's because your king has no morals, so he indulged such a crazy monk!

What's more, the current chaos in the country is also the result of the king's innocence!I heard that Ouchi's heart is loyal and righteous, and he can be rewarded."

Ce Yan and Zhou Liang knelt down, the more he listened to Tong Shi's translation, the more painful he felt.

I heard that the emperor of the Central Plains was made by heavenly beings, but I didn't expect that he would talk nonsense in a serious manner!

When Emperor Jiajing received the principal and deputy envoys and their cronies in Xiyuan, Qin Zhongtang, the assistant minister of foreign affairs, also came to the Huitong Hall and hosted a banquet for other members of the embassy.

The mission said that there were [-] people here, and there were only a few dozen of them. Qin Zhongtang entertained these dozens of people.

Although due to news and language barriers, most members of the mission did not know Qin Dewei's identity.

But everyone in the mission knew from this person's aura and vermilion official robe that he had an extraordinary background.

This time Qin Zhongtang brought his own general, and the general only briefly introduced some qualifications such as the number one scholar.

Qin Zhongtang also brought a gift, a copy of "Qin Xueshi Twenty Years Old Collection".

After all the members of the mission had finished toasting together, Qin Zhongtang put down his wine glass, and asked Tong Shi to interpret in a compassionate manner:
"I heard that since the Yingren Rebellion in Erguo six or seventy years ago, there have been many wars and chaos, endless wars, people's lives have been devastated, and rituals and music have been lost in the wild!
In my opinion, the king of Seoul can no longer afford the burden of Japan! "

Everyone in the mission looked at each other, neither knowing why nor how to answer.

Qin Zhongtang sighed again: "It's a pity that in Japan, only the Ouchi family is still loyal, and they know how to pay tribute to their father, Ming Dynasty."

As soon as Tong Shi finished translating, he saw someone in the mission standing up, bowing his waist and wanting to speak.

Qin Zhongtang stretched out his hand, motioning for the other party to speak, but the man took a pen and ink and wrote some Chinese characters.

This made Qin Zhongtang look at him differently, for there were actually some people in the mission who could write Chinese characters.Looking down, I saw these words are "Da Nei, Kanhe has it, others don't".

Qin Dewei couldn't help laughing, and said to Tong Shi: "In Japan, other than monks and ministers, everyone else should study Chinese seriously."

Then Qin Zhongtang said sternly: "I have several certificates like Kanhe in my hands, so what if I hand them out to you? Those who have the loyalty of the Ming Dynasty are not allowed to come to pay tribute?"

Tong Shi translated this sentence, and everyone in the mission was in an uproar.

In fact, the Japanese who were able to participate in the mission to Daming also knew more or less about tribute affairs.

They knew that Daming's attitude towards the tribute in recent years was to refuse or refuse, and they had never seen such a happy official!
But can this young official speak accurately?
Sensing the doubts of the Japanese, Qin Dewei said, "Let me tell you first, I am the minister of the newly established Barbarian Yamen in Ming Dynasty, and I will handle all tribute matters from now on!"

Feeling that writing Chinese characters might make the young man in front of him feel good, another member of the mission wrote: "Chief, tribute, not enough."

Tribute, as the name suggests, is to bring tribute, this time they can return to Ningbo and then back to Japan, it is estimated that it will be the end of the year.

There are only a few months until Shunfeng's departure time next year, and there is no time to prepare the tribute.

Qin Zhongtang laughed loudly and said: "As for the tributes, my heavenly dynasty is rich in products, so I don't need things from Erguo! So from my point of view, just come with your heart!"

Tong Shi translated it sentence by sentence, but everyone in the mission still didn't understand, what exactly is "with heart"?
What a desperate person, these Ming officials are too fond of being riddlers, can't they speak more clearly?

Qin Zhongtang waited and waited, seeing that the gang of stubborn Japanese still hadn't figured it out, he couldn't help cursing the idiots secretly.

Then he could only speak again: "There is also a rule that the tribute missions issued by the official are only allowed to pay in silver when they go to Daming to trade goods!"

Hearing this sentence, everyone in the mission was relieved. They were afraid that there would be strange restrictions. If it was stipulated that transactions could only be made with silver, it would be more worry-free.As we all know, the most scarce thing in Japan is copper coins, not silver.

But the Japanese were still puzzled and stared blankly at Qin Zhongtang.

What does the rule mentioned just now have to do with the preparation of tributes?Silver is silver, and it cannot be directly used as a tribute.

Qin Dewei looked at dozens of pairs of eyes that were thirsty for knowledge, and he had already started to "sell hemp batches" in his heart!I am used to dealing with official elites, I really can't stand these stupid people!
What is mind!Bribing the Minister of Foreign Affairs with silver in order to pass the tribute issue is called Xinyi!What Daming wants is money!

Forget it, anyway, these idiots will live in the capital for a while, and they will do business several times, and they will definitely understand in the end.

Qin Dewei pointed to Ling Kongmu of the Japanese Pavilion in the Yiwu Yamen, and said to the embassy: "Next, this person is responsible for the trade and market opening issues. You can find him if you can! If he can't solve it, come to me again. !"

After finishing speaking, Qin Dewei got up and was about to leave. The banquet was just a formality. After saying what he had to say and expressing his attitude, he could leave.

After all, Qin Zhongtang was one of the four great scholars of the dynasty, so how could he stay with him from the beginning to the end!
But I saw a Japanese man anxiously holding up a paper, on which was written: "Research and cooperation, distribution, how about it."

Qin Dewei replied casually: "I will investigate by myself during this period of time!"

　There are still things to do at night, and it is really crazy to rush to draft during the day. . . .Just open the document and it's done
