Zhu Zhanji was pulled away by his father Zhu Gaochi and wanted to slip back.
Zhu Gaochi pulled his son and said,"Father asked me to bring you to toast the envoys of the various countries!"”
Zhu Zhanji took his father's hand away and said casually,""Maybe next time. I forgot to bring a knife today.”
"Bring a saber? What saber? I told you to drink, not kill…Hey, son, where are you going?”Zhu Gaochi was puzzled and wanted to ask his son why he was toasting, but his son had already tiptoed close to the Imperial Platform. It was obvious that he wanted to eavesdrop on his Imperial Grandfather and the woman's conversation. He shook his head repeatedly and went to find Zheng He himself.
Zhu Zhanji stood in a dimly lit place. Because of the Snake King's gallbladder, he could clearly hear the conversation between the imperial grandfather and the Japanese envoy.
Shogun Ashikaga, it seems that Japan is currently under the Muromachi shogunate's rule!
Zhu Di sat down while Sun Ruowei stood at the side, her eyes on the fruit knife on the plate.
The Japanese envoy finished paying his respects.
Zhu Di said condescendingly," Go back and tell your General Ashikaga that I have received the tribute he sent. I hope that he will like the gift in return. I suggest that he take more time to clean up the pirates on the sea. The Ming Dynasty's navy only knows that there are enemies, not enemies. Hahaha, if he doesn't care, I will take care of it for him. Harassing the Ming Dynasty's land and people is absolutely not allowed."”
The Japanese envoy said in broken Chinese,""Reporting to the Great Emperor, during the tribute, we encountered a storm or capsized a ship. I ask the Great Emperor to grant us a small island in Ningbo or Jinghai to dry the goods.”
Haha!
Deceiving Imperial Grandfather?
Zhu Zhanji had a mocking expression on his face. If he were the emperor, he would definitely kick him out.
Sun Ruowei saw that the Emperor's wine cup was empty and picked up the wine pot to pour wine.
Zhu Di turned his head and asked,"Is it allowed?"”
Sun Ruowei was stunned. She could participate in such a topic?
Zhu Di was just asking. He raised his wine glass and said,"With the local officials assisting you in drying the goods, how can you give away this ancestral land? I will summon him in a few days. I want to have a good chat with General Ashikaga.”
The Japanese envoy was a little confused. He had heard of the Chinese code for sending guests off. He slowly stood up and was disappointed.
"What do you think?" Zhu Di asked Sun Ruowei with a smile.”
"Me?" Sun Ruowei confirmed.
"Why don't you just say it!" Zhu Di said.
"The Great Ming Empire is vast, but there is no extra land!" Sun Ruowei said.”
Well said!
Zhu Zhanji secretly cheered!
Great Ming is mighty!
This dynasty had backbone!
Don't submit! No tribute! Not ceding territory! No compensation! This is the Celestial Dynasty in my heart!
The scene of leading a mighty army to expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty appeared in Zhu Zhanji's mind, and he couldn't help but feel his blood boil.
"What a good girl!”The Crown Prince chuckled as he walked to his son's side. He shook his large jade cup and said with a smile,""I've almost drunk two catties of wine, and you didn't say anything to come over and help.”
Zhu Zhanji thought that he would treat them to a drink, but he would only force them to drink with a knife.
Zhu Di looked at Sun Ruowei strangely and ordered,""Men! Take my silver cup and give me wine!"
His words stunned the Crown Prince, the King of Han, the King of Zhao, and the ministers who were watching.
"The Emperor is going to bestow wine!" Zhu Gaochi exclaimed in shock.”
Zhu Zhanji smiled and said,"If it were me, I would also give you wine."”
Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi stared at his son blankly for a moment. He suddenly felt that his son was becoming more and more similar to his father on the stage. This was not a good thing!
The King of Zhao reminded the King of Han,""Look! Old Master has bestowed wine!"
The Han King Zhu Gaoxu stared at Sun Ruowei on the stage in a daze.
On the stage, Sun Ruowei downed the imperial wine.
Zhu Di smiled in satisfaction." You're very heroic. What's your name again?"”
"Your Majesty, my name is Sun Ruowei."”
Zhu Gaoxu muttered to himself,"How could it be her?"”
"You know him?" Zhu Gaosui asked.”
Zhu Gaoxu laughed,"How could I know him?" But why did this kid bring her in?”
Zhu Gaosui said with disdain," Didn't Father tell him to choose himself? What kind of playboy can he pick?"”
On this side, Zhu Gaochi was burning with anxiety. His son was also learning from his father to engage in militarism. Big Ming was in danger. He earnestly advised,"Son, you're getting married soon. Don't go anywhere for the time being.”
I'm fine. Why should I study?
Besides, what's so good about reading ancient books?
Zhu Zhanji wanted to run away again. His father had been brainwashed by Confucian culture, and he wanted to wash himself too. Could it be that he could govern the country well by obeying the Confucian scholars like Zhu Yunwen?
Seeing that his son was about to leave again, Zhu Gaochi didn't know whether to laugh or cry."Where do you think you're going?"
Zhu Zhanji smiled." Didn't Grandpa ask me to accompany you to toast the envoys? Let's go drink!"”
Zhu Gaochi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. His son would rather drink with foreign envoys than study!
Zhu Gaoxu was just about to call out to his former brother Zheng He and question him why he had kowtowed to the Crown Prince in the main hall first, making his former comrade feel extremely awkward.
Zhu Zhanji pulled Zheng He and smiled,""I've wanted to talk to you for a long time.”
Zheng He was shocked and hurriedly bowed. Greetings, Grand Sun!"
"Let's continue toasting the envoy…" Zhu Gaochi chuckled.
Zhu Zhanji pulled Zheng He away and turned to Zhu Gaochi, who was smiling stiffly, and said,""Father, you can just accompany them for a drink or two. I'll look for Brother Zheng He to discuss the matter of the city shipping company.”
Zhu Gaochi stood in place and hesitated…
Not far away, the corner of Zhu Gaoxu's mouth twitched uncontrollably. He did not expect this little brat to be so good at winning people's hearts!
