Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 483 Great Tribute
Sure enough, too many women will affect the speed. Zhu Biao glanced at the bowl full of food, and added in his heart:
It's so hard to be an emperor.

Father, I can't help you anymore. Zhu Yunchi lowered his head to eat, and couldn't make himself laugh out loud. I didn't expect Father to have such a day. This mood is really good for dinner.

The atmosphere in the bedroom was weird, and everyone ate in silence.Zhu Biao put down the bowl and said, "I still have something to do."

Zhu Yunchi put down the bowl and glanced around: "Mother and concubine, my son and minister will leave."

Zhu Biao went to the Imperial Study Room and sat down comfortably: "Have you arranged the arrangements for Yuan Bao, Lu Song, Jiao Zhi, and Koryo?"

Yuan Bao rubbed Zhu Biao's shoulders and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, King Zhou has already made arrangements."

In the second year of Tianyan, the second day of the first lunar month, the wind was not very strong and the sky was not very bright.

Early in the morning, the courtiers had rushed to the imperial city one after another, preparing to participate in this year's grand court meeting.

I heard that Luzon and several other small countries have been added to the capital this year, and His Majesty is very concerned about this matter.

It is undoubtedly a great honor for the ministers who can participate in the Great Court Meeting.

There are quite a few people who are dressed lightly, and for the sake of the so-called demeanor, the temperature has long been abandoned.

As a result, many ministers hugged their shoulders and clapped their hands, a thick layer of frost formed on their eyebrows.

Of course there are people who are not cold, such as Zhu Di, Zhu Wei, Xu Da and the others, each of them wrapped themselves up like an old bear.

"Young man, his body is stiff." Xu Da rubbed his hands together, pointing at the few officials who wanted demeanor but not warmth: "Be careful of old cold legs."

Geng Bingwen turned his head and glanced at Xu Da, and said, "Your body is hardened now, it's all because of taking a cold bath in the cold winter months."

Xu Da didn't care and said, "Give me ten, and I can still defeat you."

Geng Bingwen said disdainfully: "You try ten now! Last time, His Majesty singled out fifteen Japanese captives in the training ground."

"Your Majesty must be the toughest, how dare I compare with Your Majesty." Xu Da turned and left.

These two fierce generals are probably the only ones who can speak the words of tigers and wolves in front of so many civil and military ministers.

The censor corrected the words and deeds of the officials, but for these two, they would not take the initiative to provoke them.

During the reign of King Hongwu of Koryo, Da Ming did not embarrass him too much. In the past two years, he repeatedly seized commercial goods at the border, and Zhu Biao didn't want to bear it.But as a monarch, he should also be magnanimous, so he let Goryeo be the last one to go to the palace.

Luzon, Jiaozhi, and the Western Regions were already subjects of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Biao accepted their pilgrimage and arranged to be included.

"Xuan Goryeo Mission sees you." The eunuch shouted the imperial decree.

The Goryeo mission includes principal envoys, deputy envoys, scribes, general officials, and horses.There are pledges, doctors, cornermen, envoys of gratitude, envoys of congratulations, memorials, etc., but only a few representatives entered the hall.

First, there was a flattering meal, and then a few Korean women were brought to Zhu Biao, and the gifts they gave were all medium.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, I want to marry Princess Daming on behalf of the king, and we will marry Ming and Goryeo." The Goryeo envoy looked directly at Zhu Biao and said.

After looking at the Korean women who paid tribute to him, Zhu Biao didn't express his opinion immediately.

The tribute women system was one of the important forms of communication between the Yuan Dynasty and the Koryo State. It was based on the marriage system. The women of the Koryo State married soldiers and married the court.

Seeing that Zhu Biao had not spoken for a long time, the envoy asked, "His Majesty the Emperor of Ming."

"I accept the woman sent by King Goryeo. As for my sisters, I will talk about them later."

The envoy is also a person who has seen the world. Seeing Zhu Biao's insincerity, he felt unhappy and said: "Your Majesty, it is an honor for my king to form an alliance with Daming. His Majesty is not sincere."

sincerity?Using all kinds of eyesight to check and seize Daming's goods, I really thought I didn't know.

It's ridiculous to talk about sincerity now.

The envoys of Goryeo praised how powerful their King Goryeo was, how noble his blood was, and so on.

The more Zhu Biao and the other ministers listened, the harsher they became.

After that, the hall fell into absolute silence.

It was the first time for the Koryo envoys to meet the new emperor, thinking that the new emperor would sell Koryo's face.

All the ministers are waiting for the emperor to express his position, so that they can bet against or follow suit.

Zhu Biao looked at the Goryeo envoy for a long time, and said: "Goryeo is a good place, and the women are also beautiful. I know that the King of Goryeo is not an ordinary person."

"So, what His Majesty the Ming Emperor meant."

Seeing what Zhu Biao said, the envoys of Goryeo thought he was willing, and began to praise King Goryeo again.

Seeing Zhu Biao's praise of Goryeo, all the ministers followed suit for a while, and even the officials from Luzon and the Western Regions began to echo Zhu Biao.

"My younger sister only marries people of noble blood, and the King of Korea is not eligible." Zhu Biao said loudly.

Now the Koryo envoys are confused, what is a person of noble blood, isn't their Koryo king noble?
"Dare to ask His Majesty the Emperor, what is the noble blood in the eyes of Princess Daming?"

"The Han people of the Ming Dynasty are not the King of Korea." Zhu Biao said calmly.

The minister felt an uproar, this was not in line with the praise just now.

The Goryeo envoys were dissatisfied, which obviously meant that the Goryeo King was not noble.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, it is really rude to slander our king in this way." The Koryo envoy then said a lot, to the effect that their Koryo king is honorable, and they will truthfully report Daming's rudeness to the Koryo king when they go back.

Zhu Biao looked at these Goryeo envoys, waved his hand and said, "Bold envoy, you are not the one to judge me. Take it down!"

"I obey the order." Zhu Di quickly ordered the Korean envoys to be tied up.

"You Ming people said that if the two countries are at war, the envoys should not be killed." The Korean envoy said loudly.

"I said I never said that, take it away."

All the ministers looked at Zhu Biao. His Majesty praised the King of Koryo just now, how could he change so quickly.

Zhu Biao felt that the ministers had doubts in their eyes, but he still felt baffled.

He raised his head slightly, and asked Yuan Bao beside him, "What's wrong with me, you all look at me like this."

Yuan Bao said in a low voice: "I am curious, why does Your Majesty praise the King of Koryo?"

Zhu Biao thought for a while, then lowered his voice and said, "I'm just talking nonsense, and besides - scolding directly, it's always a bit out of the emperor's demeanor."

Today's morning is drawing to a close, and it is arranged for the prince to go to Fengyang, announcing the plan for this year, officially attacking Goryeo, and taking it as the land of Ming Dynasty.

The prince is the foundation of the country, and Zhu Biao hopes that they can be close to the farmers in the spring.

Zhao Yunsheng went to protect the prince.

Daming is currently implementing the New Deal in full swing, ushering in a new era for Ming.

When Lao Zhu heard that Zhu Biao wanted to let the prince go to Fengyang, he immediately said that he would follow in person.

Zhu Biao refused, saying that he wanted to train and train them, and he couldn't be used to it.

Zhu Biao naturally took the matter of safety into consideration, and arranged for his trusted confidants to go.

Send your own army to follow Zhu Yunchi, Zhu Yunye, and Princess Huaiping to Fengyang.
