Wiraksara Search
Xie Jin the Great Secretary of the Yongle Emperor came forward
Yongle.
“For the Emperor, what Brother Wang said was
it is true that we are currently concentrating on the Mongol attack
from the North who are still trying to regain control of China, the current Mongol army
under Timurlenk had taken control of parts of Persia, India and Russia, not to mention war with the land of Annam
which is still protracted. Majapahit was a large kingdom in the region
Southeast, their war power cannot be underestimated. Even Kublai Khan's men have tried
repeatedly attacking Java always fails to control Majapahit. Moreover, the Majapahit Envoy was a guarantee
our compensation payments, lest they do not want to pay compensation
our war is due to the death of the Majapahit Envoy. My advice is we should send the troops
Jinyiwei or telik ciphers from Dhongchang unity to look for him at once
investigating the disappearance of that imperial stamp.”
Emperor Yongle seemed speechless considering Xie's proposal
Jin, after that he said
“Alright later we will look for it until we meet and
investigate this issue to the fullest.”
“Admiral Cheng Ho is coming!”
An eunuch exclaimed to announce the arrival of Chengho
palace, shortly afterwards entered Cheng Ho accompanied by Ma Huan Secretary
to the palace hall, they knelt before the emperor.
“Long life ...long life for Emperor!”
“Stand..is there any good news from your trip this time?”
Ask Emperor Yongle.
Cheng Ho stood up and began to report the results of his trip
“Your Majesty, our journey has reached Africa and
as proof that we had reached Africa, we brought the giraffe animals
large long-necked like bamboo.”
The audience became curious about giraffe animals, including the Yongle Emperor.
“Alright, immediately take the animal to the palace garden let me and
the inhabitants of the palace can see it more clearly.”
“Good Your Majesty, besides I also want to report
good news, Majapahit will come this summer to pay
their first installment. Maybe they want to visit too
Majapahit envoy who is still in China as collateral for the debt.”
Emperor Yongle was shocked to hear that
“Cheng Ho, Majapahit Envoy was kidnapped yesterday by
a group of unknown people after discovering them stole a stamp
Principality. So we should be able to find it before the Majapahit people
come.”
Cheng Ho was also shocked to hear the news
“Celaka, don't let them know that the messenger is missing
kidnapped or killed, unfortunately we as a big kingdom but not able
protecting guests. Our Majesty
must find him soon, otherwise our relationship with Majapahit will be
it ends with war. Business people from China have a lot of
investing in Java. Do not let the safety of the Chinese people
trade in Java is threatened because of this problem. If they find out the messenger was killed, the people
Majapahit will definitely take revenge killing the Chinese people who were in
Java.”
“Alright I command Wang Yu as leader of the Union
Jinyiwei and Meng Fei as the leaders of Telik Unit Sandi Dhongchang
sending his men in search of Majapahit's Envoy,” orders Yongle.
Suddenly Prince Gaoxi came forward to his father and said
“Dad, all this time Majapahit Envoy was treated with
bad, he used to be a steward in the palace and now I hear him
commissioned by Xianning as the caretaker of the palace dogs. She wasn't
prisoners of war except guests of the state. We should have put him in place
which is appropriate for a country guest like him.”
Emperor Yongle looked surprised and furious
“Is that so? Who treats him like
that it? I never had anyone put him in as steward of horses.
Who put him as the steward of horses?!”
The head of the Palace Household Appliances advanced before Yongle, the,
his body was trembling in fear
“Although Your Majesty, one of my subordinate officials has been
act arbitrarily. I guess it was just a misunderstanding, he thought
that as a guarantee of debt is the same as being a prisoner of war. Alright
treat him properly as a friendly country envoy.”
However the famous Yongle Emperor was very disciplined and temperamental
directly decree
“Prisons the Head of Household Management Palace and Office
his subordinates who had misdirected the order and gave the string punishment
now too!”
Several bodyguards were immediately prepared to carry out the string punishment, however,
The Chief Administrator of the Palace Household and his subordinate Officials were brought forward
Emperor and forced to lay down. Some guards held hands and feet
they do not move while being strung. After that, some of the guards
carrying a long cane directly thumped his cane onto their backs
powerfully many times.
The two men screamed in pain and begged for forgiveness
Emperors. After being dragged as many as 20 times the blows of Prince Gaoxi who did not
go on kneeling before his father
“Dad, please stop this string punishment, just input it
they go to jail, I think this sentence is enough of a lesson for them
they do not apply arbitrarily.”
“Gaoxi, after I die you will become emperor in my place.
As an Emperor you must not be too compassionate to those who
guilty as Buddha. If you're too compassionate, those people will
stepping on your head.”
Gaoxi only fell silent, as Crown Prince Gaoxi
more interested in artwork such as poetry, painting. Not at all
interested in a war he thought was cruel.
The Yongle Emperor then re-ordered
“It's enough, take them to jail!”
The guards dragged the two officials who were already half
teler due to a prison sentence. Gaoxi stared pityingly at
they, those two people were already unable to even walk anymore. Hurry her
salute his father and say
“Thanks for your mercy Father.”
As he returned to Gaoxu's side, his sister looked at him with a mocking look
and said to him
“What would China be if led by a weak Emperor
like yours? I can assure Timurlenk's forces will return to control China and
we will colonize the Mongols back.”
However Gaoxi only smiled cynically and said
“What would happen if you were emperor? The people will
rebelling because it is treated with injustice and the Ming Dynasty will collapse. You
think being cruel will solve the problem? If you really are
best of all, I will definitely appoint you as a Crown Prince.”
Gaoxu was silent his face was smouldering, his eyes staring with
a vengeful look at Supreme Secretary Xie Jin.
Because of your mouth, my father reversed his decision
to make me Crown Prince after Annam. Watch out just wait
my reply, inner Gaoxu furiously.
After the meeting with the officials, Xie Jin secretly met
Emperor Yongle in his study.
“Xie Jin, what's the matter you meet me here?”
“Although Your Majesty, there is an important thing that I must
convey. I have collected
reports from the Jinyiwei unit that night had surrounded the people
trying to steal the emperor's stamp. They are clearly the ones inside
also, if not how could they know where the stamp is located and
how could they know that the person who caught them was the messenger
The Majapahit we're holding here as a debt guarantee? Sorry if I
saying, it is likely that Prince Gaoxu is involved in this.”
Emperor Yongle looked surprised to hear that
“Gaoxu is my own son, how could he dare
doing that?”
“Even Your Majesty, didn't you know that all this time
Are Prince Gaoxi and Gaoxu competing to become Crown Princes? You
once almost changed the decision by elevating Gaoxu to Crown Prince
because of his fighting skills after he came home from Annam. And now you
aborting it after hearing the proposals of the nobles and palace officials.
Surely he has planned something with that stamp,” said Xie Jin.
