At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 240 Great Ming is a Land of Etiquette

Chen Liulin suddenly realized that something was wrong.

He studied since he was a child and has a good understanding of Central Plains culture.

Daming is known as the kingdom of heaven, and has always treated people generously, and will never embarrass foreign envoys.

Because of this, he dared to speak uprightly and often acted very tough.

In the past, no matter who they met, whether it was Honglu Temple, the Ministry of Rites, or the cabinet, even the emperor, they had always behaved neither humble nor overbearing.

Because he knows that the tougher he is, the more he appreciates it, and he calls it the backbone of a scholar.

On the contrary, the more humble you are, the more people look down on you.

Another reason is that Fang Xianglai regards himself as a state of etiquette, and he always reasoned first in everything he did. Generally speaking, as long as they did something wrong, they would often not deny it.

For example, this time, the Ming army marched into Annan without warning, and it has already been wronged.

Although King Jing'an sent envoys to Qinghua to meet the king and expressed his attitude to mediate the war between Annan and Champa, of course, His Majesty the King would never agree.

Because the Annan Kingdom has taken full advantage, within three years, Champa can be completely conquered.

At this juncture, how can reconciliation be possible!

As for the envoys sent by the Ming Dynasty, they naturally couldn't offend them, so An Nanguo sacrificed the dragging formula!

I don't agree or refuse, let's procrastinate first.

After a delay of two or three years, and the demise of Champa becomes an established fact, what else can you do?
At that time, at most it will be a warning, but so what...

But I didn't expect that people's persuasion failed, and the soldiers directly suppressed the situation!

Not even a warning...

After hearing the news, Chen Liulin was shocked.

He never expected that Daming, who has always claimed to be a kingdom of heaven, would be so ignorant of martial ethics!

So, he hurried into the palace, wanting to ask for an explanation.

In his original prediction, this matter was originally caused by Daming's fault.

As long as you are going to the palace to face the saint dignifiedly, the other party knows that you are wronged, and you will definitely find a way to appease him. At that time, you will be tougher, argue with reason, and if necessary, you will curse on the spot. At that time, the other party will be overwhelmed by your righteousness. If you submit, you will be ashamed, and it is possible to retreat directly.

At that time, I will become the hero of An Nanguo.

Unexpectedly, although the ideal is good, the reality is far from it...

The Emperor Ming didn't follow the routine at all, and he was aggressive when they met each other. He actually pushed the root of the problem back to Annan!

It is true that Annan King Li Sicheng has been a little drifting in recent years.

This person not only regarded himself as the emperor, but also called Ming Dynasty the Northern Dynasty and Annan the Southern Dynasty, which meant that they were equal.

However, even if there is something wrong with An Nanguo, you can issue an order to warn him!
If the younger brother does something wrong, the elder brother will always try to persuade him first, and if the persuasion fails, he will consider doing something.

As a result, people gathered an army of one hundred thousand people, and started fighting without saying hello. If it was said that this war was not intentional, no one would believe it!
What are you talking about now, let King Annan take the blame, what kind of joke are you kidding?
We Annan people don't want to lose face...

Chen Liulin could roughly tell that his duties were probably coming to an end.

Since people have planned it for a long time, no matter what reason they find, this battle can be fought.

Now that things have come to an end, it's time to end my mission and return to my homeland. From then on, Annan and Daming have no possibility of reconciliation.

Thinking of this, Chen Liulin couldn't help being furious in his heart, and raised his head and said: "Since His Majesty Daming has made up his mind, I have no choice but to return to the country tomorrow. At that time, we can only see each other on the battlefield!"

Zhu Qizhen didn't reply because he had nothing to say.

He didn't know whether to laugh directly, or to say something to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Seeing that no one answered, Chen Liulin thought that his righteous words had a deterrent effect, so he continued: "Although An Nanguo lived in Nanyang, he respected Confucius and Mencius. From the king down, everyone knows the book and reason. Today, the Ming Dynasty is conquering our country. , There are also 50 armored men in Annan, thousands of good generals, and soldiers like clouds. Now that His Majesty has made up his mind, and the subordinates have nothing to say, then we have to fight each other. The king of our dynasty, Since inheriting the great cause of our ancestors, we have worked hard to govern, and now the Annan Kingdom has a strong army and horses, and it depends on who wins."

Since there is nothing to talk about, of course we have to say a few harsh words before leaving, so that after returning to China, there will be an explanation.

Zhu Qizhen felt very funny, and asked: "So, An Nanguo is planning to go all the way to the dark?"

At this moment, a frivolous smile suddenly appeared on Chen Liulin's face, and he said, "Could it be that Your Majesty has forgotten what happened 30 years ago?"

Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen's face finally darkened, and he said coldly: "I'm not in the mood to argue with you. Tomorrow, someone will escort you back to the country. As you said, when the time comes, the winner will be determined on the battlefield!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"

Chen Liulin was still neither humble nor overbearing, nodded and said: "From the perspective of a minister, His Majesty is still a sage, but, compared with the monarch of the subject, His Majesty is not as wise as in case. The king of the subject is superior in strategy, decisive in killing and attacking, while your majesty is far away." It's not enough. On the battlefield, what depends on the number of troops is not the number of troops, but the wisdom and strategy of the commander. Perhaps in his lifetime, when the subordinates come to meet His Majesty again, they will no longer be the envoys of the lower kingdom, but the king of the upper kingdom, but the Southern Dynasty Messenger, see the emperor of the Northern Dynasty! These words of the minister may be rude, but they are also words from the heart, and I hope I will forgive you if I offend you!"

These words are not just talking nonsense, Chen Liulin is indeed very confident in his monarch.

The northern part of Annan, where it meets the Ming Dynasty, is separated by a hundred thousand mountains.

From this natural moat, the Ming army wanted to enter Annan to fight, it was not easy.

What's more, there are many deep forests in Annan, and the Ming army is not familiar with the terrain, so it is easy to be ambushed by Annan's army.

Taking a step back, even if you are not an opponent of the Ming army in a frontal battle, you can retreat to the city and turn to attack and defense.

Today's Annan is no longer what it used to be. The main cities such as Qinghua City and Shenglong City have high walls and deep pools. It is not easy to break the city!

In addition, since this period of time, Annan's territory has expanded by nearly [-]% to the south, extending to the hinterland of Champa, where rice is grown three times a year, and logistical support is not a problem at all.

Timing, location, and harmony, the Ming army does not occupy any of them!

Because of this, Chen Liulin speaks with confidence.

Now that you are going back to your country, you can simply disgust them.

And his reliance was because the emperors and ministers of Ming Dynasty were bound by etiquette, and he was an envoy of the state, no matter what, they would not do anything to him.

"That's the end of the conversation, my subordinates bid farewell..."

"I'll sue your mother!"

A figure suddenly flew out and came straight to Chen Liulin.

Chen Liulin was bowing politely, when his eyes blurred, suddenly there was another person.

This person's hair was all messed up, his clothes were burnt with big holes, and his whole body exuded a burnt smell, like a beggar on the street.

Chen Liulin was a little confused. During these years in the capital, he had been in contact with high-class people every day. Naturally, he had to be polite and behaved when speaking and doing things. Where did this guy come from? How could he just curse at people?
Immediately after...

boom!
Belin has a violent temper, and seeing this person showing off his might in the hall, she couldn't hold back anymore.

It's just a foreign envoy, the emperor doesn't want to talk to you, it's because of your status, it's not because he's afraid of seeing your letter!

Seeing this person humiliate Daming with his rude words, how can he bear it?

Immediately, he punched him and went straight to the door.

Chen Liulin felt his eyes go dark, he leaned back and fell to the ground.

boom!
"Ouch!"

The first sound was a punch in the face.

Immediately afterwards, the second sound was the sound of the back of the head hitting the floor...

Chen Liulin's eyes went dark, and at the same time, severe pain came from the bridge of his nose and the back of his head, and he couldn't help howling.

Belin stepped forward, directly riding on Chen Liulin, and punched down hard again.

boom!
Chen Liulin's left eye was swollen high, and he wailed, "Who are you, why did you hit me..."

"It was you who hit!"

The small universe in Bei Lin's body exploded completely, and she swung out her old fist, beating Chen Liulin to the point of crying.

"I am an envoy... How dare you wait..."

No matter what, he never expected that he would be beaten violently by someone riding on him.

While beating, Belin said, "Seeing that you have been upset for a long time, if I don't beat you to death today, I'm sorry for what you said just now!"

"Stop it... ouch, ouch... stop hitting, stop hitting..."

Chen Liulin has been studying since he was a child, and he has no strength to restrain a chicken. In addition to his advanced age, he is no match for Beilen. He has no power to fight back when he is beaten up, and can only beg for mercy.

Bellin grabbed his neck with one hand, and raised the other hand: "I'll ask you again, who is the Southern Dynasty and who is the Northern Dynasty?"

Chen Liulin's heart was ashamed, and he shouted: "It's an insult to gentleness...ah!"

boom!
With another punch, Chen Liulin's eyes were filled with gold stars.

Belin raised her hand again, as if to strike.

"Don't hit, don't hit, I said..."

"Say!"

"I said, yes... no, there is no Northern Dynasty, yes, yes... the Celestial Dynasty!"

"What about the Southern Dynasty?"

"Southern Dynasty, Southern Dynasty..."

"Speak or not?"

"No...there was no Southern Dynasty, it was King Annan who was arrogant and put gold on his face..."

"Is this your truth?"

"Yes Yes……"

Chen Liulin was already crying, it was too bullying.

I am the envoy of the country, and if the two countries are at war, they will not kill the envoy, yet you insult me ​​so much...

However, in order to survive right now, this is the only way...

Belin got up, took the pen and paper from the royal case, and threw it on the ground.

"Write what you just said!"

Chen Liulin: ...

"Write or not?"

"Write, I write..."

Chen Liulin had no choice but to pick up a brush and write a few lines, which roughly meant that An Nanguo was arrogant and shameless...

"signature!"

"Yes Yes……"

Chen Liulin signed his name, but he didn't know why.

Belin picked it up and said, "This letter will be sent to King Annan in an expedited six hundred miles. You can do it yourself!"

"what!"

Chen Liulin was completely dumbfounded, and hurriedly argued: "I was forced to, you, you..."

"Didn't you say that your king is ten thousand times more virtuous than my Emperor Ming? When he reads this letter, he will definitely understand your difficulties. At that time, he will still regard you as a hero of Annan Kingdom. I said right?"

Chen Liulin felt like he was going crazy. Originally, he was just an envoy. To put it bluntly, he was just a mouthpiece. Now that the two countries are at war and cannot mediate, then his duties have ended.

And what I did here will definitely be reported back to the country. At that time, King Annan and the ministers will definitely praise my righteous deeds, and my mission to Daming will be a complete sentence.

However, if this letter is sent to Annan...

Although he was being coerced, would King Annan and his ministers believe in him?

Belin sneered and said, "That's good. From now on, we will spread rumors that you have joined Daming. Moreover, this time to conquer Annan is your strategy. Let's see if your king believes you!"

Chen Liulin burst into tears: "You...you can't do this, I'm an envoy, I'm insulting gentlemen..."

Cao Nai and others witnessed the whole process with their own eyes, but they were not too surprised.

Belin had beaten someone in the hall as early as two years ago, and the one who beat was a veteran of the four dynasties...

Therefore, it is not surprising.

It's just that this kind of thing spread out, saying that Da Ming used the big to bully the small, it's hard to say.

So, Cao Nai said, "Beilen, step back first, and speak slowly if you have anything to say."

Bellin shook her head and said, "No, I have to make it clear today!"

"Then you can't hit people. If it spreads out, wouldn't it make people laugh?"

Belin thought about it, and she was right!
So he said: "Then just keep doing it, kill him, and it won't spread!"

"Don't, don't..."

Chen Liulin finally felt the fear. He believed very much that the person in front of him could really do it.

"Don't worry, I won't say..."

"Okay, okay!"

Finally, Zhu Qizhen couldn't stand it anymore.

This is Fengtian Temple, a place where state affairs are discussed, how did it become a gangster fighting on the street.

It's really outrageous!

Chen Liulin seemed to have grasped at straws, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please spare me!"

Zhu Qizhen looked at Beilin and said, "You too, can't you change your hot temper, fight every now and then, can fighting solve the problem?"

Belin still said angrily: "I just want to see this guy flaunting his might, and I can't swallow this breath!"

"You two, go out and fight, my Fengtian Temple is not for you to fight!"

Immediately afterwards, before Chen Liulin could react, Belin suddenly grabbed her clothes and dragged her outside.

An ominous thought suddenly appeared in his mind, and he shouted: "Let me go, what are you going to do?"

Belin was young and strong, dragging him to the outside of the hall, and said: "The emperor said that fighting is not allowed in the hall, I will go outside the hall and beat you!"

Chen Liulin became anxious, and hurriedly said: "That's not what His Majesty meant, can't you hear it?"

Belin ignored him at all and dragged him out of the hall, followed by a burst of wailing.

Above the main hall, Zhu Qizhen, Cao Nai and others looked at each other in blank dismay.

However, no one spoke.

After about a cup of tea, Beilene returned to the hall.

"Your Majesty, he said he knew he was wrong!"
