Daming: You are really my eldest son

Chapter 77

"Your envoy don't need to worry too much. Your Majesty's dissatisfaction is only because your country's rogues have become rogues and harassed our people. If you want to unify your country's government, the rogues will naturally disappear in the future. The princes in the court have their own concerns about this matter. Relax."

Like Xuan Wenxi, the head of the club looked up at the clear sky, and his sympathetic comfort immediately lifted Xuan Wenxi's spirit.

It seems that the Ming Dynasty's attitude towards Dongpu is not unified. If this is the case, then there is room for him to return to the world during this trip.

"It's still the master who understands the difficulties of the country."

Xuan Wenxi immediately turned around and bowed to the head of the guild, as if grasping at straws:
"My lord, please tell Shangguan that the suzerain of our small country in Dongying is so weak that it is difficult to restrain the subordinates when it grows bigger. Most of the bandits who plunder the people of the upper country are those who do not respect the lord and the upper country. Insufficient strength.

If Shangguo can help our lord, Shangguo, eliminate the rebellion and unify Dongying, I will do my best to assist Shangguo in eradicating the bandits, and I will always be a vassal of the Ming Dynasty and pay tribute every year. I dare not be lazy. "

Dongying has been a vassal of China for generations, and in order to reflect the majesty of the great power, the vassal states receive more rewards than what they send out every time they pay tribute.

It was originally a matter of taking advantage, but Xuan Wenxi was used as a condition for Daming to admit his master.

The head of the guild hall felt a little disdainful in his heart, but on the surface he was still amiable.

"Your envoy, please rest assured that these matters will be reported to Lord Attendant. But today, there is another matter."

In Xuan Wenxi's mind, this main matter is the last straw he can grasp, before he finished speaking, he hastily agreed:
"If you have anything to do, just tell me, as long as I can do it, I will not disappoint you."

"It doesn't have to be like that, did you hear that His Royal Highness King Yong returned to court a few days ago?"

When it comes to King Yong, Xuanwenxi doesn't know.

Recalling that a few days ago, the entire Beijing Normal University went to the Zhengyang Gate to watch the exiled prince recognize his ancestor and return to his clan. When Zhu Yuanzhang was traveling, Xuanwenxi called himself the master compared to him. Just a country bumpkin.

Seeing Xuanwenxi nodding repeatedly, the head of the hall showed a smile on his face:
"It's a good thing for your envoy. Your Majesty King Yong received a map of the Ming Dynasty a few days ago. Seeing that there are countless vassal states outside the Ming Dynasty, I was quite curious. I also heard that the Dongying envoy is in Beijing, so I want to ask personally. What is the unique style of Japan."

Speaking of this, the head of the association showed a hint of envy on his face.

"Although His Royal Highness King Yong has not returned to the court for a long time, he is quite loved by His Majesty. You should know that if His Highness is favored, let him say a few good words for you in front of His Majesty, and your worries will be relieved immediately."

Xuan Wenxi didn't have the slightest doubt about Zhu Ji's flattery from the head of the association.

Ever since he came to the capital, the public's discussion about this eldest prince has never stopped.

The chief may have reservations because of his status. In fact, as far as Xuan Wenxi knew, the treatment of His Royal Highness King Yong was exactly the same as that of the current prince. It was even rumored that the Emperor Ming intended to make him another prince.

Such a royal son of the holy family, if he can really get in touch...

Thinking of this, Xuan Wenxi once again bowed to the principal beside him.

"Thank you, my lord, for your advice. I wonder when His Royal Highness King Yong will summon you?"

Seeing Xuan Wenxi's eager expression, the head of the hall immediately burst out laughing:
"The carriage that took the envoy to Jiu Nei arrived at the first time, and the envoy went to take a bath and change clothes. I have to say that since His Highness was entrusted, the envoy was the first guest in Jiu Nei. Looking at the government and the public, I wonder how many people are envious of it. .”

He told some things to pay attention to when meeting the prince, and amidst Xuanwenxi's gratitude, the figure of the principal disappeared at the gate of the small courtyard.

Xuan Wenxi raised his head again to look at the distant sky, the sun was so bright on the clear sky.

Zhu Ji did not summon Xuan Wenxi in the court hall of the mansion.

Although his heart was full of apologies for the envoy who was about to lose his motherland, Zhu Ji still gritted his teeth and buried that trace of guilt in his heart thoroughly.

As the master of a country, he must not restrain himself with the moral standards of ordinary people.If his heart softened today, then in the next few years, Daming would not be able to guarantee the construction of sea-going ships, nor would he be able to guarantee the stability of the territory.

In the back garden, the special products of midsummer are not only hot, but also colorful flowers.

Seeing Xuan Wenxi walking behind the guards step by step, kneeling on the ground before entering the gazebo, Zhu Ji nodded with a smile:

"Get up, you don't have to be so formal in front of me. Besides, your envoy can be regarded as my half-teacher today, and all these complicated etiquettes are omitted. Come in and sit and talk."

On the stone table of the gazebo, two blue-and-white porcelain bowls with twining patterns are exuding white mist.

After Xuan Wenxi sat down, Zhu Ji pushed one of the small bowls over:
"It's a hard journey under the scorching sun. This is the milk ice that Guanglu Temple sent over just now. Your envoy has a taste."

Looking at the bowl of cool dessert in front of him, Xuan Wenxi felt that he was about to lose control of his tears.

Look at people, this is the life of people.

This is the benevolence and virtue that the royal family of the upper kingdom of heaven should have.

Ice-making in midsummer costs a lot of money, and dairy products are even more rare in Daming.His Royal Highness King Yong gave himself a bowl so politely, Xuan Wenxi felt that his personality had been respected like never before.

He decided that after eating this bowl of ice, he would never hide anything from what His Highness asked me.

To be honest, Zhu Ji has lived in Daming for nearly 20 years, and today is the first time he enjoys such treatment.However, in his previous life, Zhu Ji, who was air-conditioned, TV watermelon, and ate two ice creams from time to time, only felt that this milk ice was cool.

In contrast, it is more normal for Xuan Wenxi to carefully hold the porcelain bowl and enjoy it like a bone-eating ecstasy.

So the Japanese envoy had to eat a small bowl of milk ice, which made Zhu Ji wait for two full minutes.

When Xuan Wenxi reluctantly put the porcelain bowl back on the table, Zhu Ji saw this Dongying man in his 40s with tears in his eyes.

"Your Highness's kindness, I will never forget it."

Seeing that Xuan Wenxi disagreed with him and was about to kneel again, Zhu Ji quickly stretched out his hand to stop his not too tall body.

"You don't need to be like this. I asked you first, so naturally I shouldn't neglect it. Later, I asked about Dongying Fengwu. Please forgive me if I made any rude remarks. After all, hearsay is not enough to believe. I am asking your envoy Testify for yourself."

After inoculating Xuanwenxi, Zhu Ji ordered the guards to spread the map sent by the Ministry of Rites on the stone table.
