Chapter 2211: The Strong Prime Minister
The Ministry of Rites did not carefully contact and examine the envoys of the Three Kingdoms, causing His Majesty to flee in panic because of such vulgar people.
Yes, Hu Yi was convicted and hid in silence.
Chen Mo naturally did not have the qualifications to be in the hall. When he saw that Duoke and the other two were a little panicked, he squeezed out a bit of anger and whispered: "How many times have I told you to be respectful, talk less, talk less, why do you talk so much?"
Henry saw Chen Mo's expression with just one glance.
——Very true, very sincere!
So are we really wrong?
He wanted to ask again, but the official who led the way couldn't bear it anymore. He urged them like a creditor, and if they didn't leave, they would be stuffed on the boat and get out.
They walked down the stairs step by step, looking back, and felt that they would never have the chance to see the Emperor Ming again, and their hearts were in a mess.
If they couldn't see the Emperor Ming, how could they make up for the mistake they had just made?
If they couldn't make up for the mistake, how could they be "friends" with the Ming Dynasty?
Until now, the three still don't know where they went wrong.
Fang Xing walked out of the hall and saw Chen Mo staring at the three people going away, so he said, "You are very good."
Chen Mo did not tell them these taboos, but today, the three envoys made a big mistake just for an audience.
"Lord Xinghe."
When Chen Mo was feeling proud, those important officials had already come out. How dare he stand shoulder to shoulder with them, so he bowed and hurriedly left.
Fang Xing leaned on the railing and turned around. Seeing Yang Rong and Hu Yi coming down together, he raised his head slightly and said, "Do you want to ask about Taixi?"
"Hong Bao didn't come, and I don't know what the emperor's rules are. We almost broke up just now."
The three of them went down together, and someone came to call Fang Xing from behind, saying that the emperor summoned him.
So Hu Yi hurriedly said: "Since Plantagenet and Frank are both great powers, and Lisbon is also a country with ambitions overseas, why should it be ignored?"
"It won't be friends."
Fang Xing said: "They are barbaric, we are civilized, do you understand?"
Hu Yi was a little confused, but Yang Rong was already stroking his beard and smiling.
"The Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette, but they are almost the same as eating raw meat and drinking blood, and they only have interests in their eyes. In such a place, Lord Hu, is it possible to be friends?"
Hu Yi fell into deep thought. He felt that he needed to ask Hong Bao, and then decide on the reception standards for the Western envoys.
Yang Rong naturally knew this, and he said: "That's right, but it's not good to provoke without authorization."
This is a warning. Yang Rong is worried that the military heroes, or even Fang Xing, will take advantage of today's east wind to provoke the envoys and then look for an opportunity to start a war.
Fang Xing glanced at the eunuch waiting for him on the side and said, "The current situation seems simple, with only Ha Lie and Rou Mi, plus Tai Xi, but they are bordering each other, so it will be more complicated. If things go wrong, it will be a situation where the Ming Dynasty is hostile to the world."
Yang Rong said with relief: "Okay, if that's the case, I'm relieved."
He and Hu Yi watched Fang Xing walk over, and then were taken to the back by the eunuch.
Hu Yi stood with his hands behind his back and said, "I always feel that today's situation is intentional."
The officials walked past them, and Yang Rong lowered his voice and said, "Intentional or not, they are not opponents at the moment, just deterrence."
Hu Yi remembered that Fang Xing had dealt with the envoys twice, and today, he felt that it was a bit too much.
"Is it too much?"
Yang Rong shook his head and said, "According to Hong Bao, there is a jungle over there, fighting each other. How can such a place be friends? One day, there will be fighting due to uneven benefits. If it is a friendship, the Ming Dynasty is nurturing a tiger to cause trouble!"
Hu Yi agreed with this deeply.
This is the pride and confidence of the Ming Dynasty at this moment: If you make friends with me, you will only get better slowly, and you will only get the advantage!
But it is not that simple to be a friend of the Ming Dynasty...
Those Western envoys were brought out, smiling all the way.
Originally, a banquet was prepared, but the emperor was displeased, so naturally no one reminded this, but the Huitong Pavilion would send a few tables over.
So the envoys were ready to go back and wait, and then there would be fine wine and delicious food, and such a life would be worth more than gold!
As for the Ming Dynasty being too powerful...it would threaten the safety of small countries.
If you say this out, you will be sprayed by these envoys.
In the years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, those vassal states, no matter how small and weak, have not been bullied as long as they have become friends with the Ming Dynasty. Even if they are bullied, as long as they come to the Ming Dynasty to complain, there is nothing to say, the Ming Dynasty will make the decision for you.
So these envoys think that the three people from the West are just frogs in the well, asking for trouble.
The group left with a smile, and Yang Rong stayed until the end. Sure enough, someone came to invite him.
All the way to the outside of the warm room, the sun had just shone here.
Zhu Zhanji and Fang Xing were in the warm room. Yang Rong bowed and saluted. Zhu Zhanji pointed to the side and motioned him to sit down.
There was no seat during the court session, which was Zhu Yuanzhang's rule, but he was very flexible after the court session.
After Yang Rong sat down, Zhu Zhanji said, "Wait a minute."
Not long after, another person came outside, but it was Hong Bao.
He knelt down and saluted, and Zhu Zhanji smiled and said, "In the future, you will be the deputy governor of the navy, and you can call yourself a minister."
Yang Rong smiled at Hong Bao without surprise. He felt that the eunuchs of this dynasty were a strange flower. Huang Yan was the only one who caused trouble, but he was forced to rebel by Emperor Wen and Emperor Ren.
As for other eunuchs, starting from Zheng He, many eunuchs were more capable and powerful than the dignitaries in the court.
This was a tradition left by Emperor Wen, but it had no tendency to be carried forward in the Xuande Dynasty.
Zheng He and Hong Bao were both meritorious officials, and they were both very young. The navy had just been formed and needed someone trusted by the emperor to lead and suppress it.
This is a suitable arrangement!
Yang Rong was not immutable, nor did he think that eunuchs and civil servants were necessarily enemies of life and death, they were just enemies.
"...The countries in the West and the West are having a hard time. There is only so much territory, and everyone is fighting for it. They originally wanted to expand to the east, but they were blocked by the meat-loving country. There were many wars between the two sides, and the people in the West and West were fighting for it. Losing or losing is not flattering.”
"That being said, Meat Fan is really awesome."
After hearing that the meat fan had unintentionally acted as a shield for Ming Dynasty, Yang Rong narrowed his eyes and said: "Soldiers have no permanent momentum, and water has no permanent shape. Your Majesty, Ming Dynasty must be careful."
He glanced at Fang Xing, and his next words made it known that the civil servants Zhu Di left behind were not just civil servants.
"The Roumi Kingdom and Halie have joined forces. If they want to attack the Ming Dynasty, they must form an alliance with the Western countries first. Otherwise, if they fight the Ming Dynasty in the front, the Western countries will take over their nest."
He looked elegant in appearance, but he was talking about swords and weapons: "Your Majesty, if the meat fans and the Western countries are at peace, then the Ming Dynasty must be prepared to attack from both sides. If necessary..."
He said coldly: "If necessary, the Ming Dynasty will attack first."
"As for the waterway..."
Yang Rong smiled slightly at Hong Bao and said, "I don't understand water warfare. I believe that all of you in the navy can praise your majesty."
good!
Fang Xing secretly cheered Yang Rong, feeling that this man's skills were becoming more and more sophisticated.
His words made people appreciate the toughness and sharpness of the chief assistant, and at the same time he showed his goodwill to Hong Bao, which can be said to be watertight.
Hong Bao naturally accepted the good intention and nodded slightly, then said: "Your Majesty, if the navy wants to attack the enemy first, it must build warehouses and leave manpower along the way, and then the fleet can supply supplies all the way..."
"How about Dragon Bay?"
Zhu Zhanji heard that Hong Bao had said about the dangers of Longlong Bay, so he asked about it, but he was worried that the Ming Dynasty's fleet would be destroyed in the storm.
