Meng Ji found a chopstick to block the tea in the iron cup, and then poured the tea soup into two Jingdezhen blue and white porcelain cups, which were originally intended to be exported.
The tea was drunk quite dull, and Liu Ming didn't say anything, so Meng Ji calmed down.
At some point, Liu Ming seemed to want to speak but stopped and glanced at Meng Ji.However, after a while, Liu Ming suddenly stood up and said: Thank you for Eunuch Meng’s tea.
Hearing this sentence, Meng Ji was stunned for a moment, and finally couldn't help saying: I can take a bath twice, Envoy Liu, don't be anxious first, sit for a while.
Liu Ming had no choice but to sit back on the wooden bench.
Meng Ji had no choice but to ask: The Siamese and the Zhen La people have been here for a few days, but things are not going to be difficult.Can Envoy Liu be calculating?
Liu Ming's expression became serious. He pondered for a moment and said: What the Zhen La people did was quite bad, and I hate those people very much.But the emperor has entrusted a great task, how can the subordinates decide on their likes and dislikes?The emperor talked to his ministers about strategies many times. The new policy was to maintain the sea route to the West and establish rules in the countries of the South China Sea.Whenever I think of this, the subordinate reminds myself to be cautious and share my worries.
The destruction of the country by Zhen La was not good for the Ming Dynasty.
It is impossible for us to migrate a large number of military and civilians to come to this humid and hot miasma to establish an official government and directly manage the local area.
In the end, the Zhenla Congress was annexed by the surrounding countries such as Siam, Chameng, and Annan. Among them, the Siam Kingdom had already dispatched a large army and would occupy most of the land in Zhenla.
In recent years, Siam's national strength has become increasingly strong, and countries such as Mantaga have paid tribute to it.Moreover, Siam may not necessarily follow the advice of the court. If they still expand their power in large quantities, it may not be a good thing.
Meng Ji nodded and said: Yes, at the beginning of the war, Siam was waiting and watching.The difference between them and the Zhen La people is that they are not that reckless and do not necessarily have loyalty to the court.
Since Liu Ming had made his statement, Meng Ji said again: Envoy Liu is a minister who advocates the new policy. The situation in the South China Sea will improve, which will also be beneficial to the great affairs of the Dukes.
Liu Ming did not deny it.
Meng Ji observed Liu Minghaoran's righteous expression, and could not tell whether Liu Ming was selfish or had some selfishness.
It is difficult for people in the world not to think about themselves. At least Meng Ji is not devoted to the public, and he also has his own considerations.
How to arrange the real la after the abolition?Meng Ji asked again.
Liu Ming said: According to the rules, determine the identity first, and then the Central Army will discuss the matter.
The so-called discussion, the people who speak with weight are nothing more than Liu Ming and Meng Ji.
Lin Zixuan, who guarded this place, was a guard commander, and he deserved to be in charge of military affairs; but it was involved in the imperial diplomatic relations, and a guard commander and military officer could not be said to be involved.
Meng Ji said calmly: Let the deposed queen look at her younger brother An En's head. An En is the culprit for the massacre of our envoys, not a rebel thief. This person deserves his crime.
Liu Ming said: If it is indeed An En's head, the criminal will be executed, and Chen Zhang's revenge will be considered a conclusion.But the murderer is not abolished, so we still do it for the business.
Meng Ji was relieved when he heard this.On the surface, he was still very calm: It is said that when the Siamese killed Ann, they captured his territory and killed his entire family.Is this considered cause and effect?
Liu Ming said: I don’t believe in Buddhism very much.Chinese Buddhism seems to be very different from the Buddha here.
Meng Ji said at this time: We have an idea, but we still have to make a decision for the envoy Liu.To confirm the identity of the deposed queen, let her first look at An En's head, and then find a seriously injured and surrendered Zhenla general to meet.Zhenla messengers, don’t let them see the abolished queen.Look at it?
Liu Ming thought for a while and asked: What is Eunuch Meng’s meaning? Is the Zhenla messenger asking the deposed queen to go back?
Meng Ji said: Since Liu Envoy is ready to accept the Zhenla people's request for peace and the two countries need to repair it, it is logical that they should be repaid.The deposed queen was also the queen of the king.
If Liu Ming thought about it, would the news leak?
Meng Ji smiled and said: So what?We do not admit that unless the real la people come up with real evidence, where does the evidence come from?
Liu Ming said: It’s according to Eunuch Meng’s wishes.
Meng Ji thought Liu Ming would continue to ask the reason, but Liu Ming didn't ask anything.
Meng Ji couldn't help but look at him again. This young Jinshi who had just entered the official position during the Wude period seemed not as immature as his age.
Liu Ming then stood up and said goodbye. Meng Ji did not keep him this time and sent him outside the tent.
The next day, Liu Ming met with commander Lin Zixuan and informed Lin Zixuan to dispatch a team of soldiers as guards of honor and wear military uniforms to the central army tent the next day.
Officials from the Ming Dynasty will formally receive envoys from various countries and discuss diplomatic relations.
But on that day, Liu Ming privately met the real La people among them, and of course they were accompanied by eunuch Meng Ji, official of the communist, and the on-duty captain of the Jinyiwei.
After seeing the Ming officials, Zhenla envoy immediately began to defend himself.
He claimed that the slaughter of the Ming Dynasty's mission and the proposition were not the wishes of the Zhenla royal family; the Zhenla king and minister were also in great trouble after they learned about this.
The enemy of the Ming Dynasty was because of the incitement of the envoys of the Manchus and the confusion of the descendants. The nobles and civil and military officials in the country have tried to oppose it.
However, Liu Ming seemed to be not interested in the past. He asked: Did the Zhen La Kingdom openly admit that the Ming Dynasty set up an "envoy" in Saigon Bay, and would he be willing to transfer the land east of Saigon to Chameng?In addition, envoys should be sent to pay tribute and submit to the emperor. The king accepted the position of Ming Dynasty and served as the governor of the "Zhenla Governor's Office".
The envoy had almost no hesitation and asked directly: Can the Ming Dynasty retreat from Angkor Thom and stop threatening Phnom Penh City?
After a translation of the common story, Liu Ming said: If the court cannot do it, and the Zhenla Kingdom will be destroyed, what is the purpose of the request made to you?
So the two sides almost hit it off and immediately reached a peace agreement.
One night later, the Central Army's tent was laid out, and a simple ceremony to receive the envoys of the foreign vassal in the morning began.
First, Liu Ming and Meng Ji and the lieutenant generals went outside the gate to greet the envoys of the Three Kingdoms, and walked all the way to the open space outside the central army's tent.
At this time, the soldiers wearing neat blue military uniforms arranged in a scrupulous team and began to play rituals and music to raise the flag.In the magnificent horizontal blowing song and the rhythm of the copper cymbals, a dough dragon, sun and moon flag is raised to the high flagpole.
All the officials bowed to the flag, and the messengers had to bow.Then Liu Ming and others headed north, praising the emperor and longing forever, and then welcomed everyone to the tent.
The guards and generals outside the tent shouted and saluted. The guards standing on both sides raised their guns together and held their fists to salute the people in the middle. A neat sound came from the air.
The envoys of the foreign vassal could not help but look at the guards with complex eyes.
In today's era, they probably have never seen a more rigorous military appearance than this army.
The blue military dresses purchased by the Shenxu Shangbang are exactly the same style and color. They don’t wear this outfit when they are marching and camping, so they are very neat and clean.
The queue also continued the training of the Crime Army, which was quite neat and looked really regular.
Liu Ming followed the rules and asked the kings of the envoys from various countries for their well-being before he sat down.Because Liu Ming was just an official, after he and Meng Ji took the seat, they also invited all the envoys and deputy envoys to sit down.
But the Zhen La people dressed a little similarly to the Siamese people, and their hats were all steep, just like their Buddhist temple pagoda; however, these two gangs were enemies.
On the contrary, the Mantaja people, who had formed an alliance with the Zhenla people, wore clothes very differently. They wrapped cloth around their heads like the Persians.
After the translation and conversation of the general affairs, today's discussion was not as smooth as yesterday.
Soon the Zhenla people quarreled with their allies, Mantaya.The dispute lies in the initial war and who initiated it.After the war between several parties, it seems that they have become a fool.
Liu Ming came forward to stop them from quarreling.
The envoy of Manchusjia made another request: The Ming Navy should withdraw its troops from Malacca and stop attacking the Manchusjia country. They would send envoys to pay tribute and reconcile with the Emperor of Ming.
This officer cannot decide on this matter.A boat will return to the capital of the Ming Dynasty a while. You can send envoys to the capital with the boat to meet and ask the emperor for an order.After Liu Ming finished replying, he turned to look at the news.
Then the Siamese envoy came out to ask for merit, claiming that they obeyed the orders of the Ming Emperor, attacked Zhenla with the Ming army, and captured the Zhenla capital Angkor Thom.
The Zhenla messenger could understand Siamese. They could not bear it anymore and started cursing on the spot.
Liu Ming asked about the information before he figured out what they said.
It is roughly the real La people who called Siam a cunning and cunning country, first watching the outcome, and then choosing a side to make a profit.
Liu Ming raised his hands and signaled the two of them to stop. The officials of the communications were also speaking from it, and then they calmed down a little.
The criminals of Zhenla Kingdom have been executed, and the royal family sent envoys to discuss peace, intending to rebuild the old.Liu Ming said, the Ming Dynasty court has always been fond of peace and war, and state affairs can be discussed, so it is not advisable to continue to use wars.The Siam army should immediately retreat to its own country and stop invading Zhenla.
The Siam messenger was shocked and first asked himself if he had heard it wrong.
However, the envoy of the Full Thorns finally felt a little relieved.The Mantaga people also had hatred with Siam. It is said that Siam forced them to pay taxes with gold for many years.
The Siam envoy continued to argue and believed that the attitude of the Ming court changed too quickly and was unreasonable.He also did not agree to the request for withdrawal.
After listening for a long time, Liu Ming said: In the past, the Hu family in Annan did not obey the court's persuasion and destroyed the country the following year; the Chameng people did not mediate by the court in the matter of Chenghua area, and were soon defeated by the Annan army. The royal city was in crisis, but fortunately the emperor was kind and avoided their devastation. Now the treacherous ministers of Zhenla Kingdom massacred the Ming embassy, what would happen?Go back and ask your monarch, does the Siam country still want to try the Dharma with one's own body?
After the translation of the news into the Three Kingdoms language, the big tent was extremely quiet for a moment.People had no words to say for a long time, and many people did show serious and worried expressions on their faces.
After a while, the Siam messenger stepped forward and bowed, claiming to say goodbye, and then left the seat.
The eunuch Meng Ji, who was sitting by the side to observe, could see that the Siam envoy was very angry with today's ruling.But now it’s time to finish the big thing.
The tea was drunk quite dull, and Liu Ming didn't say anything, so Meng Ji calmed down.
At some point, Liu Ming seemed to want to speak but stopped and glanced at Meng Ji.However, after a while, Liu Ming suddenly stood up and said: Thank you for Eunuch Meng’s tea.
