The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1440

[1440. Chapter 1368 Entering the DPRK]

the Dynasty After Liu Jian finished speaking, Emperor Hongzhi nodded.

The Northern Province is a pivot point.

This is just like the Francons getting involved in the West with the help of Luzon and Java. Without these two fulcrums, they would be nothing in the West.

In these two places, the Francois have been camped for a long time, and it is not easy to pull them out.

Instead of focusing on Luzon, Java, or the Golden Continent, the Ming Dynasty might as well directly pierce the heart of the Kingdom of Spain with a sword.

Treating the mission well is to win people’s hearts.

Sending a large number of envoys to return visits quickly strengthened Ming’s presence in the northern province.

Emperor Hongzhi was delighted: “Yes, now that the Francois have no time to look east, these tulips are making them anxious. The Northern Province should be firmly grasped in our hands, and we should take advantage of the contradiction between the Northern Province and the Spanish to firmly control it.” Northern Province.”

After saying that, Emperor Hongzhi paused and asked, “Where are these envoys now?” Zhang Sheng,

the

Minister of Rites, said, “Your Majesty, they were picked up by His Majesty the Crown Prince as soon as they arrived at the port.”

Emperor: “…”

Damn it…

I feel like something is going to happen.

Fang Jifan coughed: “Your Majesty, this is my son’s idea. Your Highness the Crown Prince is proficient in the languages of various countries. This visiting group has just arrived. If it is an ordinary person’s reception, the standard would seem stingy. But if it is a high-standard reception, this kind of reception for them The hosts do not understand each other’s language, and it is difficult for them to understand each other’s intentions. Even if there is an interpreter, the words will inevitably appear unfamiliar after being translated. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a high status and is familiar with the languages of various countries in France. He will definitely impress the envoys. Up and down, I feel the sincerity of my Ming

Dynasty.” Emperor Hongzhi sighed: “The prince is capable, but… he speaks a little willfully, and I am a little worried. Hey… how long has he been entertaining you?”

“It’s been two or three years .

It’s day.” Fang Jifan said.

Emperor Hongzhi was not from Liaodong, so even if he thought about it, he couldn’t say anything like this.

But his mood was probably complete.

Emperor Hongzhi said: “Let them come to see you tomorrow, and I will see you in person. The Ministry of Rites… here, prepare an interpreter who is proficient in the French language. I… am a little worried.”

Liu Jian and others are very capable .

Understand the mood of Emperor Hongzhi.

Everyone was very excited just now.

But think about the prince’s careless appearance. Although everyone knows that His Royal Highness has real abilities, this guy doesn’t speak through his brain.

Perhaps these Francois have become alienated.

Yes, break the jar and throw it away.

Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, looked even more distraught.

Finally, it was the turn of the Ministry of Rites to show up, and they had an opportunity to perform meritorious deeds. Everyone in the Ministry of Rites was sharpening their knives. Who knew that the prince would actually kidnap someone.

Zhang Sheng sighed: “Your Majesty, otherwise, I will go there in person…”

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: “That’s it, that’s it. Tomorrow… I will see them in person.” Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan again: “What I’m worried about now is that if these people in the Northern Province know that these tulips are related to our Ming Dynasty, they will definitely…become hostile to me, Jifan, what do you think?”

Fang Jifan smiled awkwardly: “I don’t think so. It’s so serious. Now it’s the Ming Dynasty that they seek, not the Northern Province. Your Majesty, they can distinguish between interests.”

Even so, Emperor Hongzhi seemed worried.

…

early the next morning.

Zhu Houzhao entered the palace according to the order.

He went with Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan looked at the delighted Zhu Houzhao and couldn’t help but said: “Your Highness, how are those visiting groups doing now?”

Zhu Houzhao said mysteriously: “This… I won’t tell you.”

Fang Jifan gritted his teeth with hatred: “Your Highness will not come out. What’s wrong, Your Highness? I gave His Highness a head as security in front of His Majesty.”

Zhu Houzhao blinked: “Whose head is it?”

“Uh…” Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao’s neck.

“You’re such a restless and kind-hearted guy.” Zhu Houzhao wanted to pinch Fang Jifan’s neck.

Fang Jifan coughed: “Be careful with your image, I am a decent man.”

The two of them were fighting until the Meridian Gate. The officials were already used to these two guys, one would pinch his neck, and he would bite each other’s arm.

So… everyone had a blank expression on their faces, as if they were used to it.

More than a hundred envoys have also arrived.

Hundreds of officials entered the court.

Fang Jifan felt quite uneasy.

In fact, Emperor Hongzhi was even more worried.

What this relates to is national policy. Emperor Hongzhi has already aspired to rule the world. For this national policy, the court has gone through countless discussions and made many preparations.

With this northern province, you can get twice the result with half the effort.

How could Emperor Hongzhi not be worried?

Seeing the envoys entering the court one after another, wearing strange and weird costumes, Emperor Hongzhi calmed down. Seeing that all of these envoys had their arms, legs and feet intact, he felt slightly relieved.

All the officials bowed down and saluted.

These envoys were still respectful, and they followed suit and followed suit.

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at the interpreter summoned by the Ministry of Rites. The interpreter understood what he meant and babbled before the envoys got up.

Emperor Hongzhi asked the case and said: “Prince.”

Zhu Houzhao looked energetic and said: “My son and minister are here.”

Emperor Hongzhi said: “Is it you who entertains the envoy of Franji this time?”

Zhu Houzhao said: “Reporting to the emperor, it is the Duke of Qi who has given birth to his son. I’m going.”

Fang Jifan stood in the crowd: “…”

Emperor Hongzhi’s eyes turned towards Fang Jifan’s face.

Fang Jifan laughed at Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi made a face and said: “How are the envoys… treated?”

Zhu Houzhao said seriously: “Since my sons and ministers have come in person, they naturally feel at home.”

Emperor Hongzhi, however, could not believe it at all. What did his son look like? He knew all too well that he was short-tempered and had a bad temper, and sometimes he dared to speak indiscriminately in front of himself, let alone these envoys?

Emperor Hongzhi coughed and glanced at the interpreter.

The interpreter then said to the envoys: “The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was overjoyed when he heard that you had entered the court. There has never been any dispute between the Northern Province and the Ming Dynasty. His Majesty the Emperor has always treated friends who came from afar with courtesy.”

The envoys were silent. After a moment, I barely understood the meaning of the translation.

Naqil then stepped forward, bent down and saluted Emperor Hongzhi, and said: “It is truly an honor for my ministers to be entertained by His Majesty the Emperor.”

After the interpreter finished the translation.

Emperor Hongzhi said with a smile: “You are coming from the northern provinces. I think you have suffered a lot from traveling and traveling. It is time for your family to have a good rest in Daming. Today I came to ask, but I don’t know that they treat me in Daming. What do you think?”

The interpreter understood and started to translate towards Zile and others.
