Chapter 221 The Tribute from All Nations(1/4)

The 26th year of Hongwu, the third day of the first lunar month.

Yingtian Mansion.

banquet.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat down and could not see the joys and sorrows. He slowly swept across everyone, as if he was still making some decisions.

He was granted all the vassal kings. Now that they want to move the capital to Peiping, the vassal kings of Jiubian will indeed become a problem of speed in the future, but the palms and backs of the hands are everywhere.

In the square of Fengtian Hall, all the ministers and various lords attended the meeting.

Duke Chang Mao of Zheng, Duke Xu Huizu of Wei, Duke Lan Yu of Liang, Duke Feng Sheng of Song, and Duke Tang He of Xin, and Duke Fang Shiyu's most attention was Duke Li Jinglong of Cao.

This is the first god of war in the Ming Dynasty and the most hero in the Jingnan Battle.

Among these dukes, the only ones who were older than Feng Sheng and Tang He, Xu Hui and Zu Chang Mao, were left. Although they also had military achievements, they were one generation away.

As for Lan Yu, it is sandwiched between the two sides and is still in his prime.

Fang Shiyu took Zhu Yunxi to wander around the square of Fengtian Hall. Various dances and music in the whole of China were fully displayed in this place.

Suddenly, Zhu Yunxiu said, "Master, do you think that isn't Zhu Yunwen?"

"What is he doing there?"

Zhu Yunxiu looked at Zhu Yunwen's direction with a suspicious look on his face.

After glanced over, Fang Shiyu smiled and said, "It's you who make friends with foreign ministers. Zhu Yunwen, your father just fell ill, and you started planning?"

"I must have wanted to avenge his mother. Master, this person has a problem."

Zhu Yunxiu seems to be a treacherous person and has no great ability, but when he becomes ruthless, it is really ruthless.

The reason why he could say this in Fang Shiyu's ear was obvious.

Zhu Biao fell ill, which triggered an internal change in the palace. The Lu family was directly ordered to be executed secretly by Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yunwen probably realized that a huge change was about to come.

"Don't say this in the future, let your grandpa hear it. If you can't even eat rotten fruits, let him do it. No matter how hard it is, it won't be his turn."

Fang Shiyu said something indifferently. Even if Fang Shiyu doesn't interfere with Zhu Yunwen's fate, he will be destined to fall from the throne.

It can be seen that the Zhan Shi Mansion did not hand it over to him. The ministers were approaching the ministers and the officials were quitting the notices. The imperial examinations in the 25th year of Hongwu provided Fang Shiyu with many officials who could be promoted.

"Oh, go check, who are the people who are following him and where they are working." Fang Shiyu suddenly became interested.

Zhu Yunwen is like this, and there are still people who make do with him. Are you really not afraid of death? Or do you believe that they have the ability to make things worse?

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master, I will definitely do it for you."

Just as Zhu Yunyu left, a figure walked to Fang Shiyu. Li Wan held a tray in her hand and bowed slightly and said, "Your Highness, this is the trench ear and snow lotus porridge I just cooked, which can relieve drinking..."

Fang Shiyu looked at Li Wan and said casually: "How do you know you want to drink tonight?"

"This is the grand occasion. The Holy Lord invited more than ten envoys from the country to gather in Yingtian. The Holy Lord is old, so he naturally wants His Highness to accompany him!" Li Wan held the white fungus and snow lotus porridge in her hand as she spoke.

He pulled the spoon and took a bite in front of Fang Shiyu's noodles, saying, "Your Highness, it's still hot!"

"Okay, go and do your business! Thank you!" Fang Shiyu took the porcelain bowl from Li Wan's hand, and just took a sip, a warm current surged.

“Yeah, it’s delicious.”

Fang Shiyu smiled, and Li Wan leaned over and said, "Your Highness likes it!"

Fang Shiyu didn't say anything, turned around and looked around. Just as Fang Shiyu turned around, it seemed like a shadow appeared in front of Fang Shiyu.

Fang Shiyu looked at his back and hurriedly chased after him. However, at this moment, the little eunuch beside Zhu Yuanzhang stopped Fang Shiyu and said, "Your Highness, the Lord, the Lord, call you to enter the palace!"

Stopped, Fang Shiyu said, "Duke of Wei came by himself?"

The little eunuch looked at Fang Shiyu awkwardly and said, "If you go back to your highness, Duke Wei did not come by himself. Duke Wei Xu Huizu, Duke Zhongshan King Xu Yingxu, and fourth son Xu Zengshou have all come."

In Fengtian Hall.

Fang Shiyu looked at the ministers and nobles sitting on both sides. He stood at the door and bowed.

He walked to Zhu Yuanzhang, without asking or saying anything, and just stood there blankly.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "I will meet the envoys of the Thirteen Kingdoms later. You will do it for the Emperor. If you are old, you will be too lazy to see them!"

"Old Zhu, how should Li Chenggui answer?" Fang Shiyu hesitated.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not hesitate and said bluntly: "Since I want to give the country name, then call it North Korea. The North Korea and the sun are bright. The name He Ning is not comparable to that!"

"In addition, I will take your princes to the Imperial Garden later. You will be responsible for the matters ahead. Don't lose the etiquette and spirit of the Celestial Empire!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Shiyu was slightly stunned and puzzled: "Go to the Imperial Garden?"

"They don't believe that something can produce more than ten stones per mu. I will take them, these stubborn people, to gain a better understanding!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, and stood up and said, "Everyone, let's go!"

"Affect the Holy Order!"

A group of noble dukes and two senior officials from six ministries followed Zhu Yuanzhang to the harem...

When Lan Yu and Fang Shiyu passed by, they handed a note to Fang Shiyu without knowing it.

When they arrived in Fengtian Hall, everyone dispersed.

Fang Shiyu sighed and looked at the empty hall, with doubts: "They will definitely not come here when they go to the Imperial Garden. This seat is better filled with seats!"

As he said that, Fang Shiyu was about to go out to find some ministers who could hold on to the scene.

Standing inside the gate of Fengtian Hall, Fang Shiyu opened the note that Lan Yu handed him.

"Boy Fang, I can't hold it anymore. I'll find a solution!"

With a cold smile in his stomach, Fang Shiyu said, "You might as well hold it in for a while. There is no place for you to use it for the time being!" As he said that, Fang Shiyu wiped Lan Yu's note from the candlelight on the side.

Standing at the gate of Fengtian Hall, Fang Shiyu glanced at him and said, "Go and invite the Minister of Revenue Zhao Mian, Minister of War Ru Rui, Minister of Justice Yang Jing, Minister of Works Qin Kui!"

"I would like to ask for the founding Duke Chang Mao, the son-in-law Guo Zhen, and Geng Xuan!" Fang Shiyu said the name directly.

He will meet the envoys of various countries in a short while. Old Zhu handed over such a big thing to himself, so he must have done it.

There must be majesty in Fengtian Hall.

Among them, in addition to a group of civil officials and senior officials, the founding Duke Chang Mao was the real one to use to defend the situation. The son-in-law Guo Zhen was Guo Ying's son.

But don’t underestimate Guo Zhen. His aunt, Concubine Guo Ning, is now the most favored by the harem. Although he has no name for the queen, he has the power of the queen and holds the phoenix seal.

She will most likely handle big and small things in the palace.

As for Geng Xuan, he was also the son-in-law of Princess Jiangdu, the eldest daughter of Zhu Biao.

When the eunuch heard this, he hurried down to make arrangements.

Fang Shiyu turned around and looked at the hall. There was only a dragon chaise above, and there were more than a dozen kneeling tables on both sides of the hall.

It was at this moment that Zhu Yunxiu came over and said, "Master, are you looking for me?"

"Go and check for me. Is your aunt Ziyi here just now? Go quickly!"

Fang Shiyu pushed Zhu Yunxie, and Zhu Yunxie, who rushed over, saw Fang Shiyu in such a hurry to drive him away.

Zhu Yunxiu said in confusion: "Brother, is something happening?

"It's nothing big. Your grandfather asked me to entertain these Gentile envoys. You can check the list of guests who came today. In addition, check the people around Zhu Yunwen, their origins and backgrounds."

Fang Shiyu's face was calm and he had just arranged for Zhu Yunyu to leave.

Everyone who had just named Fang Shiyu entered Fengtian Hall together.

Originally, according to the regulations, they had no right to attend the banquet in Fengtian Hall, but why did Lao Zhu never play according to the routine.

He took a group of top nobles to the Imperial Garden, but instead handed over the task of receiving foreign envoys to Fang Shiyu.

......

Imperial Garden.

Zhu Yuanzhang stopped and walked: "It's the cold winter month now, and food cannot grow in the field. Let's call you here just to say a few words to you!"

No one knew whether Zhu Yuanzhang's words were true or false. As Zhu Yuanzhang sat down, the rest of the people felt their scalp numb and said intimately that the Hongmen Banquet was called.

What is more important than meeting foreign envoys, coming to the Ming Dynasty to congratulate, and attending the Ming Dynasty's New Year's Day?

Zhu Yuanzhang did not preside over the reception of the envoys to pay tribute in Fengtian Palace, but instead called them here. Obviously, it would not be like a few heart-wrenching words that could end.

It seemed that they were all waiting for Lao Zhu to speak first.

"Tang He." Zhu Yuanzhang chose Tang He at a glance and said sternly.

Tang He had a dull expression, neither shocked nor annoyed, and smiled and bowed, "What does Your Majesty have to say? Even if you say that, we old brothers will naturally follow His Majesty's leader!"

If you talk about it in detail, Zhu Yuanzhang really has the aura of domineeringness in the novel.

When he went to join the Red Turban Army led by Guo Zixing, he was a young soldier and could make Tang He, who was already a commander of the thousand men, be submissive and willing to walk behind him.

Mainly, Tang He also thought this was what he should do.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked sternly: "We remember you said that the salary of the vassal kings is too high, and it will continue for generations. The sons, grandsons, and descendants of the vassal kings will be endless. Sooner or later, it will burst the Ming Dynasty!

"You said this, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fixed their eyes, feeling their scalp numb and could not answer for a moment.
To be continued...
