I want to be a grandson

Chapter 305

"Yunxi, Yunxi, are you there?"

Zhu Yunxi, who was slightly drunk at the family banquet, returned to the East Palace, and Zhao Mingzhu hurriedly waited on him to take off his shoes and socks, and soak his feet in hot water.

One is to warm the feet of His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun, and the second is to dredge Qi and blood through gentle kneading, and His Highness also likes this kind of service.

But just after soaking for a while, Princess Jiangdu hurried over and shouted in a hasty voice before entering the room.

I'm afraid she thought she was doing something embarrassing, so she only shouted at the door and didn't dare to come in.

"Sister, please come in, you are welcome."

Zhu Yunxi, who was half lying down, quickly sat up. At this time, Zhu Yiwei, the princess of Jiangdu, had already arrived in the room, with tears still on her face.

Zhu Yunxi stepped on the basin and stood up, "Sister, why are you crying? What's wrong with you? Who bullied you?"

Zhu Yi wept slightly, and said a little excitedly: "Yunxi, let me ask you, is it because the Wonu Kingdom asked Daming to marry?!"

"Sister, what's the matter, sit down and talk slowly..."

He couldn't take care of it anymore, stepped on the floor with bare feet, and helped her to sit on the chair.

"Tell me the truth, are they going to let me marry into the country of Japanese slaves?"

Zhu Yunxi frowned slightly, "Sister, who did you hear that from?"

I have repeatedly issued orders to the eunuchs and maids in the East Palace not to chew their tongues, but now my sister still knows about it!

Zhu Yiwei said: "The Japanese slaves are asking the emperor in public in the hall. There are so many people in the palace today, I want to know it is easy. Don't interrupt, just tell me if there is such a thing!"

Zhu Yunxi knew that there were indeed too many people today, and he could control the East Palace, but he couldn't control the concubines and princesses talking about it.

I had no choice but to say: "Sister, don't worry, Wonu Kingdom did ask Grandpa Huang, but Grandpa Huang didn't agree."

Zhu Yiwei wiped away tears, stared at her younger brother and asked: "Grandpa Huang said that I will leave this matter to you, is this true?!"

"Really, Grandpa Huang really said so."

Zhu Yiwei held onto his arm tightly, and asked forcefully, "Then what are you going to do? Are you still going to let me marry those Japanese pirates!"

"Don't worry, sister."

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said: "Those Japanese pirates are smelly and vulgar, how can I have the heart to let my sister marry them, they are just wishful thinking!"

"Really? Don't lie to me!"

"I can't lie to my sister if I lie to anyone!"

Zhu Yunxi sat on the chair next to Zhu Yiwei, and Zhao Mingzhu obediently put the footbath under his feet, and used hot water to warm his feet that were a little cold from stepping on the ground.

The mainstream of Jiangdu County shed tears and said: "Brother, mother left early, and now we are left behind as a brother and sister. My sister's hope in this life is all on you. My sister will not marry even if she dies. You can never marry me." Don't lie to me..."

Knowing her worry, Zhu Yunxi explained, "I only have a sister like you, so how could I be willing to let you marry out? Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to explain to my parents..."

Then he said with reason: "Sister, you should understand how a marriage is a great humiliation to the Han Dynasty. Unless it is at the end of the mountain and has to compromise, the court will never allow marriage."

"But now that the Ming Dynasty is prosperous and has many soldiers and horses, the mere Japanese pirates are nothing to worry about. Even if there are some troubles, they will not be able to shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty..."

"And you know the character of Grandpa Huang, he was very angry when he heard about it, and immediately kicked out the envoys of the Japanese Nu Kingdom.
Grandpa Huang wanted to be strong all his life. He was a person who crawled out of the sea of ​​blood and corpses. How could he do such shameful things as marriage and shame on his ancestors. "

Only then did Zhu Yiwei wipe away her tears, feeling much more relieved, "So you won't sacrifice me?"

"Ouch, my good sister!"

Zhu Yunxi said dumbfoundedly: "Why don't you believe it? Even if my sister wants to marry someone, she also wants to marry a great hero and marry a real man! Ordinary people are not qualified to be the brother-in-law of the emperor's grandson!
Zhu Yiwei gave him another look, and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense! Then how are you going to reply them?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said: "The princess of Daming has a noble status, so she won't marry a dirty villain! Sister thinks it's good to reply like this?"

"Then you have to reply to them tomorrow! I'm afraid there will be more nights and dreams!"

"Okay, okay, listen to my sister! Tomorrow I will order people to reject them and cut off their wishful thinking!"

Zhu Yiwei said: "Well, tomorrow I will also order someone to inquire about the news, to see if you really refused! If you dare to lie to me..."

Zhu Yunxi said dumbfoundedly: "Sister, how dare my brother lie to you, if you don't worry, just ask, and I promise to satisfy my sister!"

Under Zhu Yunxi's comfort and assurance, the princess of Jiangdu felt at ease.

The two talked again, and Zhu Yiwei returned to her residence.

Honglu Temple Minister is a fourth-rank official position.

Because he often dealt with foreign countries, the person who can serve as the Minister of Honglu Temple must not only have profound knowledge, but also be able to speak.

Because when Minister Honglusi came into contact with them, he played the role of a diplomatic ambassador, and every word he said had to be carefully considered.

It cannot cause misunderstanding, and the expression of words must be accurate, but sometimes the words need to be ambiguous.

After all, some questions do not have a precise answer.

As a diplomatic ambassador, the most basic thing to do is to be gentle and calm, even if you are extremely disgusted and hated,
It can't be brought out in the tone, and there can't be the slightest expression on the face.

If you put on a stern face when encountering a little problem, show strong words, or even use your hands, it will damage the image of the court.

Although sometimes such a role may not be so pleasing, after all, it cannot be straight from the heart, nor can it be high-spirited, but it is still essential.

So in the Huitong Hall, Jin Tai, Minister of Honglu Temple, said to the chief and deputy envoys of the Wonu Kingdom: "His Royal Highness ordered someone to send an order, and the answer to your country's request to marry the princess has already been given."

Under the nervous gaze of Xiaosong and Guishan, Jin Tai said to them: "The Princess of Jiangdu lost her mother since she was young, and her life experience is rough, and this year the crown prince passed away. The Princess is very sad and has no intention of getting married.
And according to the etiquette of Ming Dynasty, children also need to observe filial piety and cannot arrange marriages, so the princess is not suitable for marrying outside, please let me know. "

Xiao Song's face suddenly collapsed, "Then you mean that the princess cannot be married to our king?"

Guishan clasped his hands tightly, and looked at Honglusi Qing in front of him with a little joy.

Jin Tai replied, "Indeed!"

Xiao Song did not give up and said: "But now there is no need for the princess to marry far away to Japan immediately, as long as the marriage contract is established."

Jin Tai glanced at him, frowned slightly and said: "You should know that marrying a princess is a marriage! For the Ming court, it will lose face and damage the country's prestige! So don't say it is you, it is anyone who comes to beg Marriage is also impossible!"

Xiao Song hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand, the Ming Dynasty is powerful, and the culture of the Central Plains is something we admire very much, so we are willing to regard Daming as the suzerain, treat each other with the courtesy of a monarch and minister, and are willing to bow our heads and profess ministers, without any intention of humiliation!"

Jin Tai shook his head and said: "His Royal Highness has already spoken, there is no reason to change this matter, so you don't need to say more."

Guishan felt relieved immediately, and glanced at Xiaosong. Although he had no expression, the joy in his eyes could not be concealed.

Xiao Song said with a disappointed face: "We treat your country sincerely and are sincerely willing to regard your country as suzerain. Is there no room for change in this matter?"

"There is absolutely no reason to turn around, so don't think too much about it."

Xiao Song shook his head, and said with a sigh: "Alas... this is really a pity, if I thought I could marry the princess, I would..."

Looking at Jin Tai again, he said with some doubts: "Lord Jin, with all due respect, you have married princesses in the history of Han people, and your emperor has also married women from Fanbang, why can't you give us a chance..."

Jin Tai didn't want to mention the dishonorable matter of the princess's marriage, so he said in a perfunctory way: "You have to understand that these two things should not be confused. The tribute daughters of the vassal states express their respect for the court, and the court can accept it. A reward for a subject..."

In the Yuan Dynasty, because the Yuan Dynasty had a huge sphere of influence, Goryeo was a vassal state of the Yuan Dynasty at that time.

As a vassal state, Goryeo has to offer tributes to the Yuan Dynasty every year, and among these tributes, a considerable proportion is not property but people.

Among them were eunuchs and virgins.

These women who are selected as tribute are generally called "tribute women".

The ones with excellent looks must have been selected into the palace, and those who look a little less, not necessarily beautiful, will be rewarded by the emperor as gifts to dignitaries.

Before the Yuan Dynasty, there were foreign women in almost every dynasty's palace.

In fact, in a strict sense, this is also a kind of marriage, because marriage does not only refer to the marriage of women, but also the offering of beauties by vassal states.

So there is a popular saying on the Internet, do you think that the ancient emperors attacked the Western Regions for two taels of raisins?

There was a "bass"!
Xiao Song immediately stood up, and said very excitedly: "Since Daming is unwilling to marry the Princess to us, His Majesty the King requests that the younger sister be married to His Royal Highness the Emperor Grandson!"

Guishan was taken aback, and quickly said in their own words: "Mr. Xiaosong, where did the king say such a thing, why didn't I know?!
Xiao Song was afraid that Jin Tai would hear it, so he also replied in the words of a Japanese slave: "This is what the king told me personally, and he wants to dedicate sister Wang to His Royal Highness, the emperor's grandson of Daming. This is a secret edict, you don't need to know it!"

Then he said to Jin Tai: "Lord Jin, please be sure to tell His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to grant our request,
As long as His Highness the Emperor Taisun is willing to take in our country's queen sister, we will definitely punish the thieves in the sea and never allow them to harm the southeast again! "

In Xiaosong's view, as long as the purpose of marriage can be achieved, it doesn't matter how you marry!
Jin Tai asked back: "Is what you said true? You must know that this matter must not be careless!"

Komatsu said firmly: "It's true! King Komatsu and General Ashikaga Yoshimitsu very much hope that Princess Hideko Komatsu can dedicate it to your grandson. As long as you agree, we will send people here immediately!"

Jin Tai thought for a while and said, "I am not in charge of this matter, I will report it to His Majesty the Emperor."

"Thank you, Lord Jin!"
