Chapter 491

The first day of the first year of Xuanwu is the first day of the new year.

That is to say, from this day on, officials can rest for five days, visit relatives and friends, and rest for a while.

"Master, someone sent a greeting card..."

After dinner, it was getting dark, and when Tie Xuan was studying in the study, the butler sent greeting cards.

"Who is it? Come to the door on New Year's Day."

The butler replied: "The person who came here didn't say anything, he just said that the master should watch the greeting post. Besides, I don't think he is from the Central Plains..."

Tie Xuan took a look at the housekeeper, took the greeting card and opened it to look at it. Wherever his eyes went, his mood suddenly brightened, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Bring him to the study, be careful not to disturb others."

"Yes."

After a while, the visitor was brought into the study by the steward, and he hurriedly saluted as soon as he entered the room and said, "Guishan pays homage to Mr. Tie, it is really rude to disturb you late at night, please forgive me..."

That's right, the person who came here was Guishan from the imperial family of the Southern Dynasty. He had been a deputy envoy to Daming before, and had a long history with Tie Xuan.

"You're welcome, please sit down. Last time you were the deputy envoy. Why didn't I see your name in the envoy list this time?"

Tie Xuan asked him to sit down, and said with deep meaning...

Guishan sat on the chair, his face full of embarrassment, and he moved his body slightly, "I was ordered to go to Daming last time, and in the end I was the only one to go back. The king was furious, but luckily he didn't pursue it too much, so I was excluded this time. outside..."

Tie Xuanyi didn't ask too much, not only did Guishan not have the name of Guishan on this envoy, even people from the Southern Dynasty were not included in the envoy!
The reason is that people from the Southern Dynasties conducted private trade with Daming and linked up with each other. This aroused Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's vigilance, so he should exclude them no matter what he said!

"Why did you come to see me this time?"

Kameyama quickly replied: "My lord, the person who went to Ming Dynasty this time is Ouchi Yoshihiro of our country. He is from the Northern Dynasty. Please be sure to distinguish clearly and not be deceived by them.
This time the people of the Northern Dynasties want to trade with Ming Dynasty, this is simply wishful thinking!How unreasonable! "

Tie Xuan knew his worry, so he said calmly: "I know what you said, but you must also understand that Ouchi Yoshihiro came as an envoy of the Japanese slave country, and was appointed by your king. It is also necessary to conduct trade negotiations with Ming Dynasty,

It's just that whether Daming agrees or not needs to be considered by the Dukes of the court and His Majesty before reaching a conclusion..."

Hearing this, Guishan became anxious immediately, "My lord, you must not do business with them! If we establish trade with them, they will be able to rely on Daming's goods and resources to increase their strength even more...

By that time, how can our Southern Dynasty be their opponents?This, this... please be enlightened, my lord! "

Regarding his anxiety, Tie Xuanhao turned a deaf ear to it, "It's up to you to ask this time, if there are also various vassal states of Ming Dynasty, and they come as tribute, is there any reason for Ming Dynasty not to accept them?
Let me tell you the truth, Da Ming will accept the tributes from other countries as usual, and your Japanese slave country has a respectful attitude, Da Ming really has no reason to refuse!So the tribute goes on as usual! "

Gui Shan stood up all of a sudden, and said in a hurry: "My lord, it must not be like this, they brought a lot of goods this time, and if they start this way, they will pay tribute every year, what should I do? !
Therefore, it is better to cut off their thoughts as soon as possible, so as to avoid troubles in the future, if Shangguo is really difficult to speak, I am willing to give reasons..."

There are many ways to give reasons, as long as you show the disobedience of the Japanese slave country, or disrespect to Daming, you will have enough excuses for Daming to reject them!

But Tie Xuan never agreed: "No! This year is the first year of the new emperor's ascension to the throne, and it is the year of Kaiyuan. Any actions of Ren and the vassal states will affect His Majesty's majesty, which is thousands of times more important than trade!
I advise you not to have such an idea, otherwise Daming will be held accountable! "

"Yes, yes, it's the villain's lack of consideration, please make amends..."

Guishan took a deep breath, and asked tentatively, "My lord, what are Daming's thoughts on the trade proposed by our envoy?"

Tie Xuan knew that people in the Southern Dynasty could not sit still!

Once the Northern Dynasties established trade with Daming, their current private trade with Daming would be terminated, or even robbed!

And Daming's attitude will change from supporting the Southern Dynasties to supporting the Northern Dynasties!
At that time, it will be a real disaster for the Southern Dynasty!
Nan Chao will become an abandoned son!
Tie Xuan sat on the chair, patted the armrest lightly and said: "In the future, trade with other countries will definitely increase, and Daming's grace will inevitably spread to all vassal states. As for whether it will be open, it is hard to say. There's not a single case..."

Guishan took a deep breath, saluted and said, "My lord, no matter what state policy Da Ming has, please remember us in the Southern Dynasty... Never dare to let the people of the Northern Dynasty receive favors again..."

Hearing this, Tie Xuan's eyes widened, and his aura became much colder.

He said coldly: "Guishan, are you asking Daming!"

Guishan was taken aback, stood up quickly, and apologized: "Don't dare, even if I lend the villain a hundred courage, I don't dare to ask Daming what to do. Please be aware, sir, the villain has absolutely no such intentions." ..."

Tie Xuan stared at him and said, "I understand your worries! Aren't you just afraid that Daming will abandon you and thus associate with the Northern Dynasty?
But the Wonu Kingdom, as a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, made friends with the Ming Dynasty in an upright manner, so why not?What reason does Daming have to refuse? ! "

"On the contrary, you in the Southern Dynasty kept saying that you want to take back the artifacts, wipe out the rebellious officials and thieves, and that you want to raise troops to capture the Northern Dynasty and completely unify the entire territory of the Japanese slave country.
For your righteous actions, Daming naturally supports them. Over the past few years, they have conducted private trade with you, and how many items have they delivered?But what about you, use these things to win people's hearts and consolidate your own interests, but you haven't seen any action yet!
Could it be that in your mouths, taking back the artifact and going back to the source is just empty talk, a tool to deceive Daming and use it for profit? ! "

Tie Xuan stood up, flicked his sleeves and said, "Since you don't have any intentions, even if Daming has intentions, how can you help? Please come back, someone will see you off!"

Gui Shan's heart trembled, and he knelt down on the ground with a plop, knocked his head a few times and said, "My lord, my lord, that's not the case, my lord, please learn from me! The Southern Dynasty has been plotting counterattacks all along!
Now I am waiting for the opportunity, as long as the time is right, I will definitely deal a fatal blow to Beichao and regain the artifact!Take control of the kingdom! "

It's no wonder why he is so afraid, his current status in the Wonu country comes from the support of Daming.

If Daming is not supporting Nanchao, he will be useless, and his status will plummet!
At that time, the people of the Northern Dynasty will definitely be liquidated, and they will not say that he traded with Daming, but will investigate him for secretly colluding with "pirates"!

And if there is no use value, people in the Southern Dynasty will not protect him,
At that time, even if you wanted to die, it would be difficult!

It's a matter of family and life, so what's the point of kneeling!
Besides, their spines are not hard...

Tie Xuan asked: "Really?"

"Really!"

"Humph!"

Tie Xuan snorted coldly and said, "You Nanchao haven't moved for a long time, and many people in Daming thought that you had lost your ambition and devoted yourself to money piles!
Recently, with the envoys of your Japanese slave country, many people in the court have come to report to His Majesty, by the way, that is the Lord Qi you saw last time,
He is also His Majesty's confidant, tried his best to dissuade His Majesty, let Da Ming support the Northern Dynasty, so that Da Ming will not lose his tongue!It also saves the uneasiness of Japanese pirates along the southeast coast! "

Guishan took a deep breath, he knew that if Daming changed the "national policy", the Southern Dynasty would not be long before it would be wiped out under enough blows!
You must fight for yourself!

"My lord, please don't worry, Nan Chao will definitely launch a counterattack as soon as possible, and will never make your lord difficult!"

Tie Xuan stared at him firmly and said: "As soon as possible? How long is it as soon as possible? Now some important officials in the court have changed their attitudes towards the Wa Nu Kingdom. Even those who originally supported your Southern Dynasty have wavered now.
I have fewer and fewer helpers in the court, and my right to speak in this matter is gradually decreasing. Maybe when His Majesty will agree with their opinions,

So... When it really comes time to do nothing, don't blame me for not remembering the past! "

Don't miss old love, just to protect yourself, abandon them!

Finally, he asked again: "Since I support you so much, how should you repay me? You give me a certain word, when will it be launched!"

Guishan knew that the arrow was on the string now, so he had to send it!
Even though he has no right to start a war, he must give Tie Xuan an accurate word!
Otherwise, he might immediately turn around and support the Northern Dynasty!

If there is no Tie Xuan, Nan Chao will completely cut off contact with Daming!

Therefore, Guishan gritted his teeth and made up his mind and said, "Don't worry, my lord, Nanchao will definitely launch a counterattack this year to repay my lord!"

"Okay! Just this year! If you can't do it, you don't have to come to Daming in the future!"

Tie Xuan said: "Yoshihiro Ouchi, you can win over privately. The Ouchi family supported you in the first place, but later they stood on the side of the Northern Dynasty. I believe you will have a way..."

Kameyama was taken aback, and quickly asked, "Your Excellency, you mean that Yoshihiro Ouchi can be won over?"

With an unfathomable appearance, Tie Xuan stroked his short beard and said: "Everything in the world is for profit, and the world is for profit. As long as you are an individual, you can't escape the word profit.
If Ashikaga Yoshimitsu solves your Southern Dynasty, the next threat to him will be Ouchi Yoshihiro. I believe he knows this very well.

So you have a common enemy and common interests, as for how to join forces, that's not something I should worry about! "
