After all, they would be opponents in the future.
Naturally, Zhu Houcan wanted to understand it first.
That's right. Even though Great Ming had been helping Great Sui and Great Song, it was because Yuan Meng and Manchu had not been destroyed yet. After they were destroyed, they could eat Great Song and Great Sui together.
After all, it was not like a modern transmigrator had not done anything when he transmigrated into the Wuxia world. It was just that he had not taken it out yet.
Although Zhao Gou was the Crown Prince, the Imperial Palace was a place where dragons lay dormant, so even he did not dare to casually bring his troops in.
Therefore, he ordered the soldiers outside the palace walls to retreat. After Zhuge Zhengwo and the others handed over their weapons to the imperial guards, Zhu Houcan led a few people to follow Zhao Gou to the Hall of Heroes.
The Hall of Heroes was a hall used by the Emperor of the Song Empire to hold banquets. At the same time, it was also a place to entertain foreign envoys. The buildings in this hall were carved and painted, with flying eaves and elevated roofs. The buildings were curved and tall, with vermilion railings and colorful railings. It was magnificent and extraordinary, showing the dignity and atmosphere of the royal family.
However, compared to the Ming Dynasty's Forbidden City, it was still a little inferior.
Each country had its own customs, and the architectural features were naturally different.
"Brother Zhu, the banquet has been prepared. My Imperial Father has been waiting for you in the Hall of Heroes for a long time.”
Zhao Gou was now familiar with Zhu Houcan and smiled at him.
"Thank you for reporting, Brother Zhao!" Zhu Houcan said to Zhao Gou.
Zhao Gou nodded and walked into the Hall of Heroes.
"Brother Can, why are you waiting here? You didn't even need to wait when you went to the palace in the past?”Huang Rong remembered Zhu Houcan's unrestrained behavior when he went to the palace and asked.
"Miss Rong 'er, the prince is now an envoy. His words and actions represent the Great Ming Imperial Family, so naturally it should be like this!”
Ruthless pulled Huang Rong and said.
"Oh!" Huang Rong nodded her head, not fully understanding.
At this moment, a eunuch shouted.
"Great Ming's envoy, please come to the palace!"
When Zhu Houcan heard this, he stood up and entered the Hall of Heroes.
He walked into the Hall of Heroes.
A middle-aged man in a yellow robe entered their sight. His face was thin, delicate, and fair. At first glance, he did not look like a mighty emperor. Instead, he looked like a gentle and refined scholar. At first glance, he made people feel very close to him.
" Zhu Houcan, the son of the Great Ming's King Wu, greets Your Majesty." Zhu Houzhao bowed to the end.
He wasn't a citizen of the Great Song Kingdom, so it was enough for him to bow to Zhao Ji. There was no need for him to kneel and kowtow.
" Prince, you're welcome." Zhao Ji was very gentle. He didn't look like an emperor at all.
"Speaking of which, when I was on an diplomatic mission to Great Ming, your father Wu Wang took great care of me! Some time ago, I heard that he fought three Land Immortals. I was very surprised!”
Zhao Ji said to Zhu Houcan with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. My father is in good health!”
Zhu Houcan said with a smile.
Although Zhao Ji looked amiable, Zhu Houcan would not let his guard down.
Song was weak, but Ming was strong, so Zhao Ji was kind. Song couldn't resist the attacks of other races, so they needed help from the Ming royal family. Therefore, the royal families of Song and Ming were as close as family on the surface.
However, in essence, Song and Ming were still opponents.
As soon as Zhao Ji opened his mouth, he asked about his father's situation because his father was one of the few land immortals in the world. He could even fight against many alone and could be called the pillar of the Ming Dynasty.
It was also because of this that his health became a matter of concern to many people.
Soon, both parties sat down and began to feast.
After three rounds of wine, the guests were all happy. Zhao Ji beat around the bush, wanting to pry some information about the Ming Empire from Zhu Houcan's mouth.
Unfortunately, Zhu Houcan brushed them off one by one.
After the banquet, it was time to get down to business.
"The prince is here to help Great Song. Investigate the case of the year coins being swapped! I wonder if you have any thoughts?"
Zhao Ji asked Zhu Houcan.
"Why don't we investigate together? Zhuge Zhengwo of the Divine Constabulary will investigate this matter in secret, and I will be in charge of this case at the Six Fan School!”Zhu Houcan said after thinking for a while.
"Alright!"
Zhao Ji took out a gold medal and handed it to Zhu Houcan, saying," Prince Zhu, this case is no longer as simple as the annual coins. At this time, a large number of fake copper coins are flowing into the people. Prince Zhu, please put the matter first and solve this case as soon as possible!"”
"This is the token that I carry with me. I will temporarily give it to the prince today.”
"This? Isn't that bad?" Zhu Houcan was somewhat puzzled.
"It's fine. Back then, when I was on an diplomatic mission to Great Ming, I relied on your father, King Wu's token, and there were no taboos in the capital. In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years have passed! The events of the past are still before my eyes!"
Zhao Ji said.
"Then, it would be impolite of Hou Can to refuse!”Zhu Houcan cupped his hands and received the token.
"Alright, the prince doesn't need to stay in a state guesthouse. The residence outside the palace has already been tidied up. The prince can stay there!”
Zhao Ji said with a smile.
"Thank you, Emperor Song. Hou Can will take his leave!”
Zhu Houcan stood up and said goodbye.
"Good! Gou 'er, send the prince to the mansion for me!”
Zhao Gou stood up and said,"Gou 'er, accept the order!"”
……
Bianliang City.
In the mansion that Zhao Gou had arranged.
"Prince, we are being watched!" Zhuge Zhengwo looked at Zhu Houcan and said seriously.
"That's normal. Today's banquet itself was a test.”
Zhu Houcan's eyes flickered as he spoke.
"Could it be that the year coins were a conspiracy set up by the Song Dynasty?”
Zhuge Zhengwo said in fear.
Zhu Houcan shook his head. The Song Dynasty did not dare to lie about this matter, so it was true that the coins were lost. However, they wanted to test the attitude of the Ming Dynasty.
"They want to investigate your information network in Bianliang. Although they won't destroy your information network, they will be prepared for any eventualities.”
Huang Rong said to Zhu Houcan.
"That's right. Follow the vine to find the melon. If I don't go looking for the melon, do you think my expression will be very ugly?”
Zhu Houcan muttered.
"Prince, what should we do?”Zhuge Zhengwo asked Zhu Houcan.
"Go to Six Fan School and get the dossier back.”
Zhu Houcan smiled at Huang Rong.
PS: Phew, the transition chapter is finally finished. The transition line is also buried. The Song Dynasty has begun. Everyone said that they want to add a female lead. Arrange it reasonably!!
