    The first day of October, the Hall of Supreme Harmony!

    As the first court meeting of each month, the first court meeting is always the most crowded and the most solemn. All the civil and military officials who came to attend the meeting were all dressed up and looked solemn. They were arranged according to rank from the Hall of Supreme Harmony to  Outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony!

    However, today's court meeting is still a bit special after all, because before the court meeting, the cabinet requested all officials in the court in the name of Fang Congzhe and Liu Yishui not to submit any memorials, because today's court meeting is about to summon the Japanese criminal minister Tokugawa Hidetada.  Father and son and papal envoys to Europe!

    Officials of the Ming Dynasty were not new to this kind of external audience, because every year several small countries came to the Ming Dynasty to meet the emperor. However, the real intention of these small countries was not to admire the power of the Ming Dynasty, but to come to the Ming Dynasty.  Beat the autumn wind!

    However, this external visit to the imperial court was different, because Tokugawa Hidetada and his son from the Japanese country were escorted to Beijing as prisoners to plead guilty to the Ming Emperor, while the European papal envoys were Ming Dynasty's second imperial envoys.  The official form of contact with Europeans is also the highest-level contact!

    Before that, the first official contact the Ming Dynasty had with Europeans was done by Emperor Zhengde. At that time, in order to enter the Ming Dynasty, the Dutch bribed Emperor Zhengde's cronies and said a lot of good things to the Dutch!

    In addition, Emperor Zhengde was a curious baby, so he established formal official relations with several Dutch businessmen. However, Emperor Zhengde was short-lived. After his death, Emperor Jiajing was not interested in the Dutch and drove them away!

    In the end, the two sides fought over this matter. Although the Ming Dynasty won, it also paid a heavy price, and it also started the Japanese pirate rebellion that had been invading the southeast of the Ming Dynasty for decades!

    Therefore, the civil and military officials were extremely curious about the two waves of people coming to the dynasty today. They all felt that this was a rare new thing in the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years!

    Long live Baiguan Mountain, the congratulations are over!

    Li Jinzhong took a step forward and shouted as usual: "If all officials have their own abilities, they will start early. If they don't, they will withdraw from the court!"

    Fang Congzhe walked out of the courtroom with a solemn face and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Tokugawa clan, the Japanese general who conquered the barbarians, carried out Cao Cao's affairs and took the country's leader to order his princes. Your Majesty acted as a benevolent and righteous army to destroy the rebels. Now, now  Tokugawa Hidetada and his son have been escorted to Beijing, please ask His Majesty to judge!"

    Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "Bring them up and let me see for myself what kind of people they are. They can do such rebellious things!"

    As soon as Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, Li Jinzhong flicked his fly whisk and shouted at the top of his voice: "Your Majesty has a decree to bring Tokugawa Hidetada and his son to the palace!"

    Not long after, Tokugawa Hidetada and his son were escorted to the main hall by four Han soldiers!

    Since being captured, Tokugawa Hidetada and his son knew that they would definitely be used by the Ming Emperor to show off their achievements, so they accepted their fate and were escorted from Japan to Beijing all the way. They were extremely obedient!

    After arriving in Beijing, Tokugawa Hidetada and his son were directly taken to Nanzhen Fusi Prison, and then it was as if they had been forgotten, and no one paid attention to them for several months!

    Just when Tokugawa Hidetada and his son thought that they were going to be imprisoned like this until death, they suddenly got the news that they were going to meet the Ming Emperor!

    Although they had already predicted their fate, Tokugawa Hidetada and his son still hoped to perform well and win the forgiveness of the Ming Emperor. Therefore, as soon as the father and son entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the imperial palace step by step.  Before the stage!

    After bowing three times and bowing nine times, Tokugawa Hidetada shouted in unfamiliar Chinese: "The criminal Tokugawa Hidetada has visited His Majesty the Ming Emperor and wishes His Majesty the Emperor long live! Long live! Long live!"

    Tokugawa Iemitsu was not as proficient in Chinese as his father, but he still followed behind Tokugawa Hidetada, shouting "Onboard! Onboard!", and at least he managed to handle the situation!

    Zhu Youxiao sat on the dragon chair and looked at the two historical celebrities kneeling below. He couldn't help but feel very happy. As a time traveler, Zhu Youxiao hated the Japanese country quite a lot. After all, in the history of later generations, the Japanese country had a lot of hatred for the Japanese country.  The damage done to China cannot be erased by time.

    However, now the Japanese country has not had the opportunity to commit heinous crimes, and it is estimated that there will be no such opportunity in the future, so Zhu Youxiao did not let Cao Ling carry out an extermination-style massacre of the Japanese country. This can be regarded as Zhu Youxiao's reservation.  The bottom line of your own humanity!

    "Raise your heads and let me see what kind of characters you and your son are!" Zhu Youxiao said in a deep voice.

    Tokugawa Hidetada and his son did not react for a moment, they were still lying on the ground with their buttocks stuck out!

    "The two big Han soldiers went up and grabbed their hair and lifted their heads up so that Zhu Youxiao could see clearly, and thisOnly the interpreter from the Ministry of Rites translated Zhu Youxiao's words!

    Tokugawa Hidetada and his son endured the severe pain on the top of their heads and almost cried. They secretly cursed the interpreter in his heart, he would die if he spoke faster!

    But in this situation, Tokugawa Hidetada and his son have to endure it no matter how resentful they are. Especially Tokugawa Hidetada, although his hair was pulled, a flattering smile appeared on his face!

    It¡¯s just that this general who once took charge of the Japanese country was stunned when he saw the aloof Emperor Qi of the Ming Dynasty!

    young!

    It¡¯s really too young!

    When Tokugawa Hidetada, who was already in his forties, saw Zhu Youxiao, he only had this cry in his heart!

    It was the young and outrageous Ming Emperor in front of him who, for some unknown reason, sent people to destroy the Tokugawa family and made himself a prisoner!

    Doesn¡¯t Tokugawa Hidetada hate him in his heart?

    That is of course impossible. If there was a chance, Tokugawa Hidetada would chop off Zhu Youxiao's head without hesitation, but he also knew in his heart that he might never have this opportunity in this life!

    "I'm very sorry!" Zhu Youxiao looked at the embarrassed Tokugawa Hidetada and his son and said, "I couldn't meet Toyotomi Hideyoshi and your father Tokugawa Ieyasu. I don't know if they will behave better when facing my army.  Be better!¡±

    Zhu Youxiao¡¯s words were rather complicated. Tokugawa Hidetada, who only roughly understood Chinese, couldn¡¯t understand it at all. He could only endure the severe pain in his head and look at the slow-talking interpreter!

    Indeed!

    The slow interpreter took a moment to translate Zhu Youxiao's words!

    Finally, after understanding what Zhu Youxiao meant, Tokugawa Hidetada felt like he had been stabbed in the heart again!

    When he was in Japan, Tokugawa Hidetada lived in the shadow of his father. Unexpectedly, he was now a prisoner and was sent to the Ming Dynasty. He still had no time to escape from the almost endless shadow of his father.  !

    But no matter how aggrieved he felt, Tokugawa Hidetada could only say respectfully: "His Majesty the Emperor, you are the co-owner of the world, and every word and deed represents the will of God. No matter how bold the guilty minister is, he will not dare to fight against God.  I believe that except for those crazy people like Toyotomi Hideyoshi, no one in the world dares to be your Majesty¡¯s enemy. I believe that even if my father is still alive, he will think the same as my father!"

    Tokugawa Hidetada's words were a slap in the face. Not only did he compliment Zhu Youxiao, but he also framed Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who had turned into ashes, and complained that he was no worse than the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles dad.  !

    Zhu Youxiao listened to Tokugawa Hidetada's words, showed a smile, waved his hand and asked the Han soldiers who were holding Tokugawa to retreat!

    Then he calmly said: "I know the affairs of your Japanese country. The leader of the country claims to be the emperor, and his ministers are causing chaos in the court. It can be said that the chaos cannot be more chaotic. I cannot sit idly by and ignore such treason and injustice, so I have sent troops.  Conquest, do you have any objections?"

    Tokugawa Hidetada looked at the interpreter eagerly. When the interpreter finished translating this sentence, Tokugawa Hidetada quickly fell to the ground and banged his head on the gold bricks of the main hall like a drum!

    "Your Majesty, the guilty minister feels deeply that he has sinned deeply. It is his own fault for being punished by His Majesty. I dare not feel the slightest resentment. I only ask that Your Majesty be merciful and give the guilty minister a chance to repent!"

    Seeing Tokugawa Hidetada kowtow in such a way, the civil and military officials of the entire court couldn't help but feel their scalps numb. Especially when they saw that Tokugawa Hidetada's forehead was bleeding, many people felt sympathy for him!

    Zhu Youxiao looked at Tokugawa Hidetada, pondered for a moment and then said: "Everyone says that Hidetada is not as good as Ieyasu, but Ieyasu can endure it, and Hidetada is no less generous!"

    Hearing Zhu Youxiao¡¯s comments, Tokugawa Hidetada felt a chill in his heart!

    broken!
