"Fourth, our father seems to be very satisfied with this Miss Sun!”
Beside Zhu Gaojin, the boss was holding a wine glass. His face was red from drinking, and he reeked of alcohol.
Usually, the crown prince consort was very strict, so he couldn't do anything to her.
Today, he had an opportunity and an excuse. He had to enjoy himself.
"It's alright!"
Zhu Gaojin nodded and raised his wine glass.""Come, Boss, ignore them. Let's drink our own.”
There was no need to care.
The entire banquet hall was covered by his spiritual will. If there were any accidents, he would be able to discover and stop them at the first moment.
Sun Ruowei would definitely satisfy the old man.
……
"Greetings to the Great Emperor, the Great Emperor's Golden Body!”
"Stand up. Which country are you from?”
"Reporting to the Great Emperor, I'm an envoy from the East Ocean Continent, representing General Ashikaga.”
"Japan…"
Looking at the short man below, Zhu Di, who was originally indifferent, narrowed his eyes slightly. There seemed to be a flash of killing intent.
Ever since the Ming Dynasty was founded, the coastal areas were often raided by Japanese pirates. For this reason, the imperial court even established a Japanese defense army in Shandong.
Zhejiang, Fujian and other places also had guards to deal with these pirates.
However, in recent years, the scourge of Japanese pirates has increased instead of decreasing.
It was hard to say that there wasn't the support of the Japanese government behind this.
If Zhu Di hadn't placed his focus on the north and was separated from the East Ocean by a sea, he would have attacked them long ago.
"Why did your general ask you to come?”
Killing intent flashed in his heart. Zhu Di sat on the chair and glanced at the other party, his expression still unchanged.
His killing intent was directed at the Japanese, not this little envoy.
"Great Emperor!"
The Eastern Islands envoy bowed and lowered his head, saying in a flattering tone,"Shogun Ashikaga wishes to represent the shogunate and establish friendly trade relations with Great Ming for mutual benefits.”
"However, it is inconvenient for both sides to communicate across the sea. Therefore, General Ashikaga hopes that the great emperor can set aside a place in Fujian as our base.”
"As a price, General Ashikaga is willing to send troops to help the Great Emperor eliminate those vagrants who are causing trouble along the coast of the Great Ming Dynasty.”
These words sounded polite and respectful, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with the logic.
But in reality, they harbored evil intentions and harbored ill intentions.
It was even more excessive than the request of the Wala emissary.
After patiently listening to the Japanese messenger, Zhu Di expressionlessly looked at Sun Ruowei and asked,
"What do you think of his words?”
“……”
Sun Ruowei was stunned. She didn't expect Zhu Di to ask her. She gently placed the cut pear in front of Zhu Di and lowered her head.
"My Great Ming doesn't have any extra land!”
His voice wasn't loud, but it was deafening.
Hearing this answer, Zhu Di's eyes instantly lit up, and his gaze at Sun Ruowei deepened.
If he was satisfied before, he was very satisfied now.
This Miss Sun could become Fourth Brother's wife.
As he thought about this, Zhu Di looked at the short Japanese envoy again. His tone was calm, but there was a hint of coldness.
"Did you hear that? My Da Ming doesn't have any extra land.”
"Go back and tell your general that if he wants to do business with my Great Ming, he can, but he must offer his sincerity.”
He smiled faintly and said with a deeper meaning,"It's just that we're separated by the sea. It's not difficult to come and go with each other.
Another day, zhen will let my Ming navy go to your place to take a look.”
Was this a threat? Not really.
Thinking of what Zhu Gaojin had said about using firearms and cannons to do business with the Japanese, Zhu Di agreed.
The request of the Japanese envoy today gave him some ideas.
"Great Emperor, please don't misunderstand. I came with good intentions. I will definitely inform General Ashikaga of your words.”
The Eastern Islands envoy's heart trembled, and his face was filled with fear as cold sweat covered his forehead.
He was not a fool to be able to come as an envoy. He naturally heard the dissatisfaction in Zhu Di's words and the surging killing intent.
He felt bitter in his heart. He didn't know what kind of madness General Ashikaga had gone crazy for him to come and test Da Ming's attitude.
Now, it had backfired.
After all, the Great Ming was the overlord of this region, the suzerain of the East Ocean Continent, so how could they be so easily offended?
"You may leave!"
No matter what the messenger thought, Zhu Di waved his hand and told him to get lost.
"Yes, I will take my leave."
The short messenger squeezed out a smile and retreated respectfully, not daring to show any disrespect.
"The East Ocean Country might become a great enemy, so we can't stay for long!”
Zhu Di suddenly said as he watched the other party leave. He seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be talking to someone else.
"A mere tiny place, Great Ming can destroy it with a flip of his hand.”
A faint voice sounded from the side. Zhu Gaojin had appeared beside Zhu Di.
He didn't have a good impression of the Japanese at all.
Know small etiquette and no righteousness, fear power and no virtue!
However, it had to be said that they were thick-skinned and learned from the strong. They were also patient enough.
If he let it go, there would indeed be problems.
"The East Ocean Continent isn't a big threat right now, those wolf pups in the north are the real enemies.”
Glancing at Zhu Gaojin, Zhu Di picked up a piece of pear meat.
The Wala, Tartar, Arutai, and other races in the north had become his obsession. As long as they weren't destroyed, he wouldn't be at ease.
As for the Japanese, he would leave them to his fourth brother to worry about!
"This Miss Sun isn't bad, she's as cute as you said!”
Zhu Di glanced at Sun Ruowei again with a smile in his eyes and said whatever he was thinking.
"Of course!"
Zhu Gaojin smiled and wasn't humble. Sun Ruowei's face was flushed and she felt a little awkward, but she was relieved.
It was good that he was recognized.
