Daming Super Daddy

This person often applies two standards when treating himself and others!

……

After No. 13 kings expressed their willingness to invite Ming to build an 'embassy' in their capital, King Mengka of Ceylon stepped forward and said to Zhu Di very formally:

"Your Majesty, I know that you are unparalleled in courage, martial arts and wisdom, and that the Ming Dynasty is rich in land and resources. When I visit the Ming Dynasty, I am also amazed. Therefore, I am willing to present you with treasures, beauties and beauties, and pay tribute every year. Every year is a state, and since then it has become a state under the subjects of the Ming Dynasty!"

While doing this, Mengka also took out a roll of light blue cloth from his arms, and made a gesture of presenting it with both hands.

credentials!Unexpectedly, Mengka still had such courage, and he read the letter of credence of surrender face to face!

You must know that even if they surrender to these foreign countries around them, they will definitely not say their surrender in front of so many people. After all, they represent a country, but the king of a country!

Expressing it clearly in this way is not to tell everyone clearly that I don't want to lose face, or I want to be next to the big thick legs of the big name, whoever wants to look down on who looks down on it!

Just when everyone had different thoughts, Meng Ka had handed over the cloth to Zheng He who came down.

"King Monka has a heart. For my Ming, Ceylon has long been my friendly neighbor!" Zhu Di resolutely did not mention the matter of surrender. At this time, he still needs to give Monka affirmation. These guys are all sensible, don't let the "embassy" be built?However, show the sincerity of surrender!

These kings are not fools, and they naturally understand the implication of Zhu Di's words. The faces of the seven small countries that did not want Daming to set up an 'embassy' in the capital were a little ugly.

Perhaps, the reason why they chose to surrender before this was not because they sincerely surrendered. They were afraid that Daming would directly attack and rob them of their royal status. I can't even look down on them.

Now, it's time for them to make a choice!

Chapter 527 Blue-eyed Cockatoo

With the first one, there will naturally be a second one. After King Monka of Ceylon, the Western King Stans, who proposed to build an 'embassy' in the capital of the king, followed closely behind, and saluted Zhu Di:

"His Majesty the Emperor Ming, although the Western Kingdom is an island country, the surrounding seas are adjacent to Ming Dynasty... My Western Kingdom is willing to submit to Ming Dynasty, proclaim its vassal status every year, and pay tribute every year. I am willing to protect the peace of the seaside region of Daming!"

As expected of Daming's lackey, he said "My Daming" when he opened his mouth and shut his mouth. This kind of person is really a natural sycophant.

Mengka and Stans' confession to Zhu Di can be said to have pushed out all the rest of the past. They are now unavoidable, and they must express their wishes to Daming in public, otherwise it will be difficult. survive.

"His Majesty the Emperor Ming..."

Man is a sword and I am a fish. Right now, the kings have no choice but to submit.

Of course, it was just a verbal promise. They didn't want to prepare a memorial a long time ago like Monka and Stans, so Zhu Di's attitude towards these people was also different from Monka and Stans.

"Respected His Majesty the Tang Emperor, this time the ministers came from Java. In addition to offering their most sincere greetings, they also brought some rare things from Java. I hope Your Majesty will like them!"

After everyone finally offered their final gifts, Zhu Song was a little surprised that the Java king Sparrow was the first to come out and present gifts to Zhu Di. It seemed that he had already made preparations.

Sparrow didn't look at the expressions of the crowd, but came to the gate of Fengtian Hall on his own and waved.

After a while, I saw a fair-skinned, very glamorous girl walking in coquettishly with two white bird-shaped creatures in her arms:

But the bird-shaped creature was about half a foot long and half a foot high, with a fat body and snow-white feathers, a light yellow crested crown on its small head, and a black-gray beak that fluttered more than its body. , with a fan-shaped tail dragging behind its long body.

What is more surprising is that this bird-shaped creature has a circle of blue eye circles, blinking, very lively.

"Blue-eyed cockatoo!" Zhu Song's eyes widened, "What a frightening couple!"

Coincidentally, the reason why Zhu Song recognized this parrot was because he had taken an escort mission in his previous life. He was a local tyrant of 'Di Bai' and got a pair of rare blue-eyed cockatoos in England. Parrots, local tyrants spend a lot of money, spending 500 million US dollars to hire Zhu Song to escort the pair of parrots, what a local tyrant's life!

However, it is reasonable to say that the country of Java is an ancient country in Southeast Asia, and its territory is mainly in the area of ​​​​Java Island, Indonesia today.The blue-eyed cockatoo is produced in New Britain and New Ireland in the Bismark Islands on the east coast of Papua New Guinea. The distance between the two is not thousands of miles away. How did he get this pair of parrots?

Looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, Sparrow also knew that everyone might have never seen this thing before, a rare expression of excitement appeared on his serious face, he pointed at the blue-eyed cockatoo, and said:

"Your Majesty Ming Emperor, this thing is called a blue-eyed cockatoo. It was captured by the prince of my Java country when he was out hunting. This parrot is extremely lively and well-behaved, and after being trained, he can speak some simple words!

"Oh? Can you give me a demonstration?"

Zhu Di suddenly became interested. This thing is like mynah, it can learn some human language, but it is not easy to cultivate mynah who can learn human language.

Now it's easy to see varieties similar to starlings, so naturally I have to listen to them first.

"Of order." Sparrow responded, turned to look at the parrot he had brought, first whistled to attract the parrot's attention, then pouted at Zhu Di, and said, "Long live my emperor! age!"

The parrot blinked its blue eyelids, stared fixedly at Zhu Di for a while, and moved its beak: "Long live, long live!"

Nima, the voice was quite loud. The civil and military ministers in the hall were startled at first, subconsciously wandering around the world, trying to find the source of the words, but they couldn't find them.

"My emperor, long live!" At this moment, another crisp voice sounded.

"Hahaha, good, good, good!" Zhu Di suddenly burst out laughing, "King Sparrow, I like this blue-eyed cockatoo very much, but King Sparrow has a heart, so I will keep this parrot." down!"

"Your Majesty, apart from this pair of parrots, there are some other spiritual and rare things that I did not bring to the palace. This is the list of tributes from my country of Java." Zhang memorial.

"Long Live Lord." Zheng He walked down the dragon case, took the memorial back, and handed it over to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di unceremoniously opened the booklet and looked at it twice, his eyes lit up immediately, and said: "Zheng He, draw up the decree: From today onwards, the Kingdom of Java will grant crowns, belts and clothes from the king to the concubine. The ceremonial officer invites the king to see you." Prince Yi, I promise him the honor of the Duke and Marquis, and give the king a ceremonial guard, a trustee, silver utensils... ten bolts of silk and silk clothes, and order the Javanese royal family to become the king."

After Zhu Di made an imperial edict, all the ministers of civil and military affairs in the entire hall were shocked. What was written on the paper made the Lord Long Live directly confer the king of Java on him and allow him to perform as a prince in Daming.

"Long live my servant!" Sparrow also had a hint of shock on his face, which he did not expect at all.

"Okay, okay!" Zhu Di had a cheerful expression on his face, waved his hand, and said, "Stand to one side first."

Sparrow consciously stood on the right side, seeing the eyes of the kings of other countries, and thought: This Sparrow is really lucky, it seems that he is going to blend into the rhythm of the Ming Dynasty!

"Respected His Majesty Ming Emperor, Xiyang Kingdom..." "Long Live Lord, I am Siam..."

Seeing that Sparrow was granted both imperial titles and rewards, the kings of the other countries all began to present gifts.

"Zheng He, put away all these things!" After that, the time will no longer be the same, from flying in the sky, running on the ground, living things swimming in the sea, to gold, silver and jewelry, and all kinds of rare treasures, Zhu Di will come here. Those who did not refuse, accepted all the things sent over.

It's just that there are not many cases where Sparrow was rewarded just now, only those seven or eight kings.

Right now, there are no less than forty boxes piled up in the Fengtian Great Hall. Judging from the opened ones, there is no gold or silver in them, but they are full of pearls, corals, and tortoise shells. The jeweled ones are probably worth tens of millions of taels of silver.

Fortunately, all the courtiers in Fengfengtian Hall are not upstarts. Although the things in this box are greedy, they all understand that these have nothing to do with them, and it is useless to be greedy.

"To be able to pay tribute to such treasures, it seems that the kings have bothered!" After so many treasures were easily accounted for, Zhu Di was naturally in a very happy mood. He looked down and said, "Where is the minister of Honglu Temple? "

A refined middle-aged man stood up, bowed and saluted: "Hu Liyan, Minister of Honglu Temple, I have seen the Lord Long Live!"

Honglu Temple is in charge of foreign tributes from the Fan Ministry, and Honglu Temple Minister is a fourth-rank official, and was also a high-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty. He is naturally qualified to attend the court meeting. Of course, Honglu Temple is still under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites.

"Hu Qing's family is exempt from courtesy." Zhu Di raised his right hand lightly, and said: "Hu Qing's family, this time the kings of various countries and their royal families have traveled thousands of miles to my Ming Dynasty to participate in the feast of a hundred countries. Let Honglu Temple arrange a feast for them. By the way, Prince, King Han, and King Zhou, please wait for your company!"

"Follow the will of Long Live!" Hu Liyan, Zhu Gaochi and others respectfully bowed to Zhu Di and received the order.

These kings are not fools, so they naturally knew that the emperor of Renmin Ming had issued an order to drive away guests. In addition, the stimulation they had suffered today was not small, and they needed to go back to digest and digest, so they all saluted and said: "My minister thanked Ming. From His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Well, let's go to the palace!" Zhu Di waved his hand and sent all the kings to the palace.
