The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

"Your Majesty! Which country sent this Wang Bengu as an undercover agent? Why is his elbow turned outward?" Huang Jin said in a sharp voice, "I am a worthless slave, but I have never seen such a lowly eunuch." Bones! Such eggless things!"

"That's right! The Japanese lords are fighting for hegemony. If we Da Ming don't take advantage of the fire to rob, the fisherman will benefit. Do we still have to pay back? This Wang Bengu doesn't understand anything, but he insists on pointing fingers. It's really irritating!" Lu Bing raised his eyebrows, Murderous:

"I am going to ascend to the kingdom tomorrow, and it was obviously brought down by force. It is only right and proper to bully my younger brother with the coercion of the suzerain. Does the boss still need to pay tribute to the younger brother to buy loyalty? Laugh!"

Lu Bing and Huang Jin refuted Wang Bengu's memorials one by one, each and every one of them was so angry that they sent people to search Wang Bengu's home immediately.

Jiajing's face was numb, watching the two slander Wang Bengu.

The two of them were talking, and found that the emperor's face was not right, so they had no choice but to shut up and laugh dryly: "Your Majesty, this is just our little knowledge, so I don't want to criticize you too much!"

Jiajing smiled lightly: "Every sentence you said is very agreeable to me. What's my dissatisfaction?"

Lu Bing and Huang Jin breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't a problem with the route, it would be easy to say: "Then why are you frowning?"

"Because of Wang Bengu's statement, there are not a few people in the government and the opposition." Jiajing smiled wryly, leaned back on the dragon chair, and pointed to the thick stack of memorials: "This Wang Bengu just hit the head. , There are still people who agree with him! You can see."

Only then did Lu Bing and Huang Jin realize that the matter was not that simple, otherwise Jiajing would have ordered Jin Yiwei to invite Wang Da Yushi and go to prison to eat a cell, why would it be so troublesome to discuss?

Lu Bing opened the second memorial and found that it was the memorial being written by Li Fanyuan.

The Lifan 680 Court is the yamen for Ming Dynasty to deal with relations with various vassal states, which is equivalent to the modern Ministry of Foreign Affairs.It’s just that at that time, the people of the Ming Dynasty were arrogant and believed that the world was completely centered on the Ming Dynasty, and there was not much concept of territory. All the surrounding countries were automatically turned into vassal states by the people of the Ming Dynasty. The relationship between the suzerain and the vassal state did not exist. What equal diplomatic relations.

Therefore, the dignified Ministry of Foreign Affairs is actually under the jurisdiction of a small vassal court under the control of the Ministry of Rites.All foreign affairs are handled by the Minister of Rites, and it is the least important responsibility of the Minister of Rites.The position of Lifan Academy is not as important as Imperial Academy and Honglu Temple in Xiajiuqing. Even Taiyuan Hospital dares to ride on its neck and shit.

what?

You say that we have an equal relationship with Daming, not a suzerain state and a vassal state, and should not be under the control of your Fanyuan Academy?

Screw you!go away!Not accepted!

This is the foreign policy attitude of Ming Dynasty.

PS: Who else remembers the phrase "Allies are inexplicably surprised.

Lu Xun's "On the Amazement of Allies" talked about the Nationalist Government and Japan.

Chapter 602 The public opinion is raging, and the bus writes a letter [6]

The foreign policy of the Ming Dynasty before, simply put——

"All countries are our Ming's younger brothers, and those who don't want to be younger are waiting to be beaten."

From the beginning of Da Ming's career, there were many people who didn't want to be a younger brother and dissatisfied with Da Ming, but there was no one who hadn't been beaten.From Mongolia to Annan, from the Northeast Jurchen to Laos, they were all beaten up by Ming Dynasty, and they basically surrendered. A few with stiff necks, such as Annan, ended up in a worse situation and were directly eliminated.

In short, the principal of the Lifan Academy, who had nothing to do for thousands of years, finally got the opportunity to speak about his duties, but what he said was the same as Wang Bengu.

"I am in charge of the vassal court, which is responsible for the affairs of the various vassal states. Therefore, I have jurisdiction over the envoys from Japan and the Mughal Empire who came to us to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty. The chief assistant, Yan Song, handled the matter privately without consulting our court. Such a major event in the country is a matter of ultra vires."

"The principal of Lifan Academy seems to be called Ma Sande?" Lu Bing tried hard to recall, and suddenly thought: "He is Xu Jie's classmate and the same year."

The Lifan Academy is under the jurisdiction of the Minister of Rites, and the Minister of Rites of Daming at this time happens to be Xu Jie.

As far as the resentment between Xu Jie and Yan Song is concerned, more than half of it lies in the position of Minister of Rites.

At that time, Xu Jie was about to climb into the sky and enter the pavilion, but Yan Song played with him with beans. The dream of entering the pavilion was like a flower in the water, and the bamboo basket was empty, and he became seriously ill.In the end, it was Yan Song who, out of compassion, gave him a small step forward. He was promoted and actually surrendered, from the position of Minister of Officials to the position of Minister of Rites.

But this time the feng shui turns, and it happens to be in charge of foreign relations, which is the responsibility of the Minister of Rites!

Xu Jie, through the Lifan Academy controlled by him, the Ministry of Rites, and the censors of the princeling party, launched an attack on Yan Song together, bombarding Yan Song in turn!

Through this memorial, Lu Bing can even see Xu Jie's eternal resentment.

"There's more in the future'¨!" Jiajing sneered and said, "One good show after another, the singing is endless."

Lu Bing put down the second memorial and picked up the third.

Now, it's the Lord!

The Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Jie himself!

Xu Jie fired fiercely at Yan Song on this issue, which is justified. Originally, foreign relations were the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites.

He wrote in the memorial: "My husband is a big Ming, a great country, a big country and a proud people, and wealth all over the world. How can I compete for profits with my friends? Once I compete for profits, the friends will have no sense of awe, and the heart of equal transactions with me will grow. , is such a trivial matter?"

He also knew that Jiajing was eager to ask for money, so he changed the subject: "Don't be afraid of floating clouds to cover your eyes. It's better to keep your eyes on things. Once my Ming Dynasty erects its majesty, it will be unprofitable for all nations to come to court? Now Yan Songgou In the dog fly camp, pennies must be weighed, competing for profits with allies, and spreading the word will only hurt the hearts of allies yearning for my great Ming education, and it will be detrimental to my great Ming in the long run. I hope your majesty will order it."

As expected of a minister of the Ministry of Rites, his ability to chew words and grind people's hearts is much stronger than the previous pawns.

This attitude already represents the views of the princelings on this matter.

Lu Bing was silent.

The matter has risen to the duel between the princelings and Yan Song, so he can't easily express his views.Once the prince decided that he was falling for Yan Song (although it was a fact in secret), he, Lu Bing, could easily become the target of the prince's attack.

Seeing that Lu Bing and Huang Jin had stopped talking, Jiajing sighed: "How is it? It's not easy being the emperor, isn't it? I have to manage the mess of Ming Dynasty, and I have to take care of the appearance of the donkey dung and the inside. How difficult is it?"

He sneered: "I don't know if the prince will really be enthroned in the future, and this kid will still say such sarcastic remarks in the face of an empty treasury and debt collectors from all sides?"

Lu Bing and Huang Jin knelt on the ground in fright, not daring to speak.The emperor criticized the prince, which is no small matter.These courtiers dare not meddle.

Fortunately, Jiajing didn't speak ill of the prince any more. He pointed to the other two memorials, which were full of autographs, and said lightly:

"Let's talk about how to deal with this matter. In addition, the students of the Imperial Academy and the Guozijian have jointly signed a letter, asking the country to treat foreign envoys well and not to lose the dignity of a big country. This is their bus for ten thousand people. Book!"
