Women's clothing in the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Houcong's birthday was celebrated amidst praises. Due to the strong impact he received before, Li Chengfeng didn't even attend the dinner under the pretext of being unwell.This provoked the little emperor to send people to inquire frequently, and he felt that if he couldn't get away, he would even come to visit him in person.

The more he was like this, the more uneasy Li Chengfeng became. He recalled the details that he had neglected intentionally or unintentionally in the process of getting along, and ten thousand grass and mud horses galloped past in his heart.

No matter what, my work will continue.Although Wanshou has passed, the envoys have not yet left.Every time the emperor of the Ming Dynasty changed, the foreign policy sometimes changed. The envoys had heard the news before that the Ming Dynasty seemed to have strictly enforced the maritime ban, and they were a little uneasy.

Since the third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang was so harassed by Japanese pirates along the coast that he closed down the three treaty ports of Guangzhou, Quanzhou and Mingzhou that had existed since the Tang Dynasty, and the Daming Sea Ban was implemented.Later, due to some well-known reasons, Chengzu Zhu Di ordered Zheng He to sail seven times to the West to demonstrate the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty.As a result, the prestige was shaken, but the established tributary system of thick exchanges and thin returns really caused the Ming Dynasty to bleed a lot.

For the people on the southeast coast, the sea ban is simply cutting off their way of life.Therefore, private smuggling by the people has never stopped, and the imperial court sometimes turns a blind eye to it, and the implementation of policies is sometimes strict and sometimes loose.What Xia Yan and others asked before was to destroy the ships and completely enforce the sea ban.

The small countries that came to pay tribute this time are more or less the beneficiaries of private smuggling and smuggling. After all, Ming silk tea and porcelain are very popular in the world.No, as soon as I saw Li Chengfeng, I couldn't help but approach him to make friends.

"My lord, I don't know if our Lu Song has the honor to present you with a gift, and I feel that you have taken care of us during this time." A young man with slightly dark skin and a bright smile on his face said to Li Chengfeng.It can be seen that the envoys sent by various countries have been carefully selected, not only fluent in official language, but also very good-looking.Even Isao Sato, the most annoying Japanese envoy, was very handsome.

Before Li Chengfeng could open his mouth, the North Korean envoy next to him interjected: "If the real person wants to accept it, he will naturally accept it from our country first. Our country has been paying tribute to Ming Dynasty from the very beginning."

What he said was not unreasonable. If you want to talk about the number one younger brother of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea is naturally none other than North Korea. Not only was it listed as a "country not to be conquered", but even the country's title "North Korea" was taken by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.The envoys were speechless, and could only silently stand back and watch the North Korean envoy triumphantly.

As a Japanese, Sato Xun has always looked down on North Korea, so he said sinisterly: "Yes, you must know that your country has paid tribute to more than a dozen young girls this time. If you take so much trouble, of course you should be the first."

When the North Korean envoy heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help sneaking a glance at Li Chengfeng.According to the rules of tribute, each country paid different tributes to Ming Dynasty, such as Japanese pearls, exotic beasts and horses from the Western Regions... When he arrived in North Korea, Chengzu Zhu Di was famously fond of Korean women. But he was one step away from ascending to the throne of queen, so it was stipulated that North Korea would pay tribute to Daming with a batch of beauties every few years.Of course, North Korea is also proud of this. Nowadays, the most beautiful women in the country can't even be found by domestic nobles, and they are all sent to Big Brother.Originally, this was nothing, but considering the gossip between this real Jinghua and the emperor... the Korean envoy Khan is about to come down.

Li Chengfeng was a little absent-minded at first, but suddenly he was shocked when he heard this, beauty!Very good!It's best to drown Zhu Houcong with beauties now!Let him quickly divert his attention.So he asked the North Korean envoy excitedly: "How is the girl selected by your country? Does the official saying be as slippery as you?!"

"It's less than a ten-thousandth of the real person. They are all vulgar fans. How can they compete with you? Don't worry, one or two are very stupid! Three sticks can't make a fart!" The North Korean envoy secretly complained, the real person I really care!

Hearing what he said, Li Chengfeng originally planned to send a few familiar palace people to take care of the North Korean girls, but after thinking about it, he knew Jiajing a little bit.Zhu Houcong, if you are honest and do your duty, he may dislike you, but he will never dislike you; but if you dare to play tricks and opportunistically, then I'm sorry, and you will definitely be treated.The show girls of North Korea are dull, and maybe they are attracting the eyes of the little emperor.

These are the first batch of show girls in the palace!And all of them are gorgeous, maybe Zhu Houcong will be enlightened from then on!Thinking of this, Li Chengfeng couldn't help but feel a little excited, and even took the audience envoys to his eyes, and even agreed to take them to visit Beijing New City.

Because the emperor's birthday was sensitive, the envoys were all restricted in their movements. Even if they wanted to go out, they were accompanied by guards, so this was their first time visiting the capital.As a result, as soon as he left the inner city, he was deeply shocked.

"I have been to many countries, and this is the first time I have seen such a majestic city wall! Really worthy of Ming Dynasty!"

"Yeah! With this city, I no longer have to worry about others coming! It's as solid as gold!"

Everyone flattered one after another, their expressions were full of envy and admiration, but it was not clear what they were thinking in their hearts.Xun Sato was careful, and seeing that there were still people busy in the city, he asked, "What are those people doing? Haven't they all been repaired? Why are you still building up?"

Li Chengfeng glanced at it, and then said: "Ah, that's a turret at the corner of the city, so it's convenient to place weapons for vigilance and defense."

Everyone looked at the size of the turret, and couldn't help being shocked, Sato Xun asked again on behalf of everyone: "What kind of weapon is that!"

Li Chengfeng smiled but said nothing, shook his head, indicating that this is beyond their knowledge.

This round of beatings and strikes can be regarded as temporarily calming down some small countries that are ready to move, after all, they have to weigh their own weight.

After talking about nonsense, it's time to deal with serious matters.After the other countries dispersed, Li Chengfeng purposely and secretly left behind the envoy from Lu Song, who was the young man with a bright smile from before.

Seeing the other party's anxious expression, Li Chengfeng smiled kindly: "It's been so long, and I still don't know the name of the messenger, it's really a sin."

"Where is it, in Xia Suleini, the current Raja is my brother."

Rajah is the king of Luzon, and it is hard to see that this person is still a prince.It would be even better if he had a status, Li Chengfeng poured him a cup of tea, and said slowly, "I wonder what brother Su thinks about me?"

Soleini: ... His surname is not Su.But he didn't dare to correct the other party, and he just said repeatedly: "□□Shang Kingdom, the atmosphere of the prosperous age, there is no better country than Ming Dynasty, I, Lu Song, am willing to be a vassal from generation to generation, and defend Daming."

"Brother Su is out of touch. Since I accepted the tribute from your country, I will be proud and prosperous from now on. Daming has always believed in Luzon and has the intention to make friends with you, otherwise he would not let so many people go to Luzon. Smuggling. It's a pity...Some people just don't have enough people." Li Chengfeng said lightly.

Suleini was sweating on his forehead. There are a lot of Chinese businessmen in Luzon. Now there are tens of thousands of them. Most of them are coastal fishermen. They secretly dumped domestic things to Luzon, and indeed brought a lot to the local people. convenient.Just as he was about to explain, he was interrupted by Li Chengfeng again.

"Of course, Pindao is not talking about Luzon, but that little thing, even if it is given to your country for free, I, Ming, would not blink. But that Japan is really deceiving people!"

Soleini suddenly realized that they had naturally heard what the Japanese did in Ningbo.Quickly echoed: "Yes! Fusang people never know how to be grateful!"

Li Chengfeng seemed to have found a confidant, and said excitedly: "I'll tell you the truth! I think so too! Think about Fusang, who receives the most favors from us every year, but always makes troubles because of his own elementary school! So now the Holy Majesty Interested, open the Guangzhou port, do business with Nanyang exclusively, beat those Japanese people hard!"

"It's true!" Soleini's heart was pounding when he heard it. You must know that among the Southeast Asian countries, Luzon has the best relationship with Ming Dynasty. Isn't it clear who benefits at a glance!

Li Chengfeng said seriously: "Of course it is serious."

The two chatted for a long time about the trade deal. In the end, Soleini was almost moved to tears. With Daming's support, their Luzon would surely become the wealthiest country in Nanyang with one fell swoop!

After fooling around for a long time, Li Chengfeng said casually: "However, I heard that your country has been in close contact with Franji recently. Is there such a thing?"

"Ham, don't mention it! In the past few years, for some reason, a bunch of Frangji missionaries have come to the country, and everyone wants us to believe in the God of Nao Shizi. You know, the real people, some of the people in our country can't survive. The problem is that there is no time to believe in God, so no one cares about them."

In the Ming Dynasty, Franji specifically referred to the countries on the Iberian Peninsula, namely Spain, Portugal and France.Thirty years have passed since Columbus discovered the New World of America, and there are almost everything that should be there.

Li Chengfeng said again: "You must also know that Pindao is in charge of the Tiangong Bureau. To put it bluntly, he is only half a craftsman. As early as a few years ago, I heard that there were some rare seeds in the hands of the Frangji , I’ve been feeling itchy all the time, but there are too few Frangji people in Daming, so I don’t know if I can ask you to buy it for me, and the price is whatever you want.”

At this time, Li Chengfeng revealed his real purpose. First, he really needed those kinds of crops, and second, it was true to support Luzon, but it was not for Fusang, but to hold back the pace of Spain.You must know that Spain and Portugal have already started the era of great navigation. If the Ming Dynasty wants to open the sea ban in the future, it is hard to guarantee that it will not encounter it.As for Luzon, if I remember correctly, within a few years, it will be on the front line with Spain, and after a period of hard resistance, it will be completely colonized by Spain, and the king's family will die in battle.In the case of lagging behind in technical experience, Li Chengfeng only hopes that the opponent can slow down a little bit, and a little bit slower.

After hearing this, Soleini had no doubts about him, and agreed to it all-in-one.

When Li Chengfeng tried his best to deal with the envoys of various countries, and finally sent all the people away, the little emperor made another big move.

On this day, as in the past, all civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty reported to the court.Just when everyone thought they were going to retreat, Zhang Cong, the servant of the Ministry of officials, suddenly stood up.

"I have something to play!"

Jiajing nodded on it, and the officials of the General Administration Department planned to take over the memorial and read it for him.This can be regarded as one of the unspoken rules in ancient times. After all, not all officials can speak clearly. Some officials can’t speak clearly and have a strong accent.

Zhang Cong pushed away the hand of the official of the Secretary of General Affairs, and signaled that he could play.The pushed official was a little unhappy, but soon, he began to rejoice that he didn't read it!

I saw Zhang Cong's expression was agitated, and he paused word by word: "Chen Qizou: First, the provinces guard the fields of the ministers, and second, please merge the rent and tax, and combine the food and grain..."

Following Zhang Cong's impassioned speech, all the ministers fell silent on the side of death.

The author has something to say: Everyone must have noticed that what Zhang Cong proposed is exactly the famous whipping method.

In fact, the prototype of the so-called "one whip method" was put forward in the tenth year of Jiajing.But in the end it was implemented by Zhang Juzheng.

In addition, let me briefly talk about Zhu Di's concubine, Concubine Quan. I only found this history by accident.It's interesting

Everyone knows that Zhu Di has a good relationship with the queen, but the queen's life is not good and she died earlier.

Out of respect, Zhu Di never became a concubine. At that time, it was this Concubine Quan who acted as the phoenix power in the harem.

Concubine Quan came here as a tribute from North Korea. She was very bright and talented. Zhu Di doted on her very much, but she also died young.

At that time, there were a lot of Korean women in Chengzu's harem. Two Korean women surnamed Lu framed each other, saying that the other party had harmed Concubine Quan.

So Zhu Di began to investigate, and finally involved a lot, including concubines who had adultery with others, court ladies and eunuchs who disrupted the court, and even those who wanted to murder the emperor.

In the end Zhu Di became anxious and simply killed them all.In the end, it is said that 2000 people died, which is considered a tragedy.

There's another chapter tonight
