My father Yong Le Emperor, you let me keep a low profile

Chapter 100 Marry her daughter, take over her country, and cut off her successor!
"Here it comes, my God, so many boats, such big boats!"

Champa, Xinzhou Port.

As dense black spots appeared on the sea in the distance, the merchants of Champa who had been waiting for a long time, and the people who were looking for a job, couldn't help cheering excitedly.

In their impression, people from Daming are very forthright.

Helping them work, not only get paid, but also take care of food.

The people from Daming would not refuse the things they picked in the mountains that no one wanted, and the prices they offered were very reasonable.

So when news came out from the palace that the Ming Fleet was coming again, the people and businessmen in Champa rushed to Xinzhou Wharf.

In addition to these people, many women among the crowd who joined in the fun also showed smiles.

They were not happy for Da Ming's arrival, but for the arrival of the sailors on the Da Ming ship.

They don't have any skills, and they don't have the ability to go up the mountain to collect, so they can only sell some things they own.

And these are also the most needed by sailors who have been at sea all year round. The two are what you like, one is satisfied, and the other is benefited.

Moreover, Daming men are notoriously gentle, and they are very generous in paying.

They would rather receive 10 Ming sailors than a smelly and dirty native.

"Father, tell me what His Highness the King of Yue looks like. Will he be as tall as a house and eat several people for a meal like in the legend?"

Among the team welcomed by the Champa Kingdom, a girl with a skin color that was completely different from the people around her looked nervously at the approaching fleet in the distance, and asked about her father who was looking at the sea.

Hearing the baby girl's question, the old king laughed and patted the girl on the head.

"My dear daughter, don't worry, I've met His Royal Highness the King of Yue, and he was the procurement envoy who came with that eunuch Zheng last time."

"Handsome and tall, he is the most ideal husband candidate."

Hearing what her father said, Princess Dona was relieved, and at the same time, she fantasized about what His Highness the King of Yue looked like.

"Cough, cough, father, the residence for His Royal Highness Daming Yue King has been arranged. When they arrive, cough, cough, cough..."

While the father and daughter were discussing Zhu Gaoyu's appearance, the eldest son of Lai, the old king Zhanba, walked over with a pale face and reported the work his father had entrusted to him.

But for some reason, he coughed vigorously before he could finish his sentence.

"Harry, what's going on with you these days, why is your health so poor?"

Looking at the eldest son who covered his mouth and coughed vigorously before finishing a sentence, the old king frowned.

Harry shook his head, wiped his mouth vigorously with a kerchief, and then replied with a smile: "I may have suffered from the wind and cold for the past few days, and it happened that Daming's fleet came. I heard that their doctors are very capable, so I just Please take a look at them."

The old king frowned and looked at his eldest son for a long time before he nodded slightly.

Although his eldest son lives a bit extravagant, his physical fitness is still good, but he suddenly fell ill in the past few days, which made the old king feel a little hazy.

"Woooooooo..."

Just when the old king was worried about the condition of his eldest son, horns sounded in the distant sea.

"Wow, there are so many boats that cover the entire sea."

The exclamation of the baby girl awakened the old king.

He looked up at the sea, and couldn't help but gasped.

The endless ships covered the entire sea surface, and the white sails looked like clouds covering the sky.

The strength of Ming Dynasty is so terrifying!
Seeing such a huge fleet, the old king felt nothing but shock.

At the same time, I secretly rejoiced that when Daming was established, I sent envoys to pay tribute.

If he did not choose to pay tribute, I am afraid that the Champa Kingdom at this time would not be any better than Annan next to it.

"Play music and dance!"

When the first batch of ships approached the pier, the old king raised his hand, and the palace musicians next to him began to play the welcome music learned from Daming.

Hundreds of specially selected women danced a dance with national characteristics.

The first to come down was Wu Hai, who was promoted to the first guard of the Hujiao Battalion, the 1000th team of Qianhu.

The original [-]th household was promoted to the first lieutenant of the guard because of his military exploits.

Wu Shan was promoted by Zhu Gaoyu to be the commander of the Hujiao Battalion, and completely controlled the entire Hujiao Battalion.

"On behalf of Champa Kingdom, I welcome the envoys from the Ming Dynasty."

The only envoy who could speak the official language of Ming Dynasty proficiently was arranged by the old king as the plenipotentiary to receive the Ming fleet.

Wu Hai, who walked down without looking sideways, arched his hands at the envoy, and gestured a few gestures towards his subordinates. The five hundred households took their soldiers and occupied important positions one by one, and the remaining five stood in front of them. on both sides of the road.

No one in Champa has an opinion on this.

The one who came this time was the prince of Daming, his status was so noble, no amount of security arrangements could be overstated.

After the soldiers guarded their positions, Zhu Gaoyu's flagship slowly approached the pier.

The main fleet at the rear stopped in order, waiting for the main fleet's orders.

Zhu Gaoyu has already strictly instructed that no one is allowed to go ashore without the permission of the main fleet in other countries, and those who violate it will be disqualified from going to sea in the future.

Although the ship owners really want to go up for a breath of air, if they lose their qualifications to go to sea because of this, then the loss outweighs the gain.

"Meet Your Royal Highness the King of Yue!"

As soon as Zhu Gaoyu got off the boat, the envoy greeted him respectfully.

The two looked at each other, and the exchange was over in just a moment.

"Free gift!"

Zhu Gaoyu stretched out his hand with a smile.

After the envoy got up, he said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, our King and Princess Dona have been waiting for a long time, please move to the reception platform."

Under the guidance of the envoy, Zhu Gaoyu and his party walked across the red carpet sprinkled with flowers, and were welcomed by the dancers of the two parties, and walked towards the old king and his party who also greeted them.

"Welcome His Royal Highness Yu, your arrival, in Daming's words, will make our Champa Kingdom flourish!"

When the two sides approached, the old king spoke the not-so-standard Ming Mandarin, put his hands together slightly, and made a salute similar to that of the Buddhists.

Champa was influenced by the culture of the Three Kingdoms in the past, and its own customs were also biased toward the Asan side. Although the beliefs have changed a bit later, there are still shadows in it.

"His Majesty's Daming official speech is getting better and better. If you don't listen carefully, you may think it's a Daming person talking to me."

The so-called diplomacy refers to mutual favors in business. The other party not only made such a big reception, but also personally brought the whole family to greet each other, which is enough to save face.

Coupled with the fact that the two parties were about to become in-laws, Zhu Gaoyu naturally wouldn't refute the old man's face, praised each other, and bowed his hands with a smile.

"Haha, isn't it? It seems that this old guy like me is also very talented in languages."

The old king walked forward with a big laugh, and kindly pulled Zhu Gaoyu towards the reception platform.

Standing on the stage, Princess Dona was holding a garland woven with various flowers. Looking at the handsome young man walking hand in hand with her father, her pretty face couldn't help but blush.

So handsome, is this my future husband?

Seeing the approaching figure, Dona's face became more and more red, and his little heart was beating nervously.

"Your Highness Yu, let me introduce you. This is my daughter, the jewel in my palm, Donna."

A group of people came to the ceremony stage, while the others stayed outside. Zhu Gaoyu and the old king walked in with their personal guards.

As soon as he entered, the old king warmly introduced his daughter.

Zhu Gaoyu had already noticed the girl waiting with a wreath in her hand.

The young girl is not very old, and her appearance is at most just old-fashioned.

Her skin color and facial features are not the same as those of the people of Champa, but they are very similar to the women of Ming Dynasty.

If it wasn't for the fact that the other party was wearing Zhancheng costumes, Zhu Gaoyu would have thought it was a girl from the south of the Yangtze River.

"Ahem, girl, why don't you come over to see His Royal Highness Yu?"

After introducing his daughter, the old king suddenly found his daughter, her face was reddish, staring blankly at Zhu Gaoyu, standing motionless on the spot.

The embarrassed old king coughed and reminded his daughter not to lose her manners.

Dona, who was already thinking about the name of the child in the future, heard his father's reminder, and his red face became even redder with embarrassment.

With a hum like a mosquito, he came to Zhu Gaoyu with a wreath in his hand, stared at Zhu Gaoyu with bright eyes, and put the wreath on Zhu Gaoyu's neck.

"His Royal Highness, King Yue, welcome to Champa Kingdom."

The smile on Zhu Gaoyu's face suddenly disappeared, and he frowned, looking at the shy girl in front of him.

The reason why he had such an expression was because the girl in front of him spoke fluent Daming official dialect just now.

A princess from a foreign country, not only looks very similar to a Daming person, but also speaks the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty, which has to make Zhu Gaoyu feel a little bit in his heart.

"Your Majesty, is your lady Daming's official speech very good?"

After the girl stepped aside, Zhu Gaoyu looked at the old king and said something meaningful.

The old king himself was a two-handed sword, Zhu Gaoyu's words made him a little confused.

But he is the king of a country after all, and his eyesight and insight are naturally better than ordinary people.

He looked at his daughter, then at Zhu Gaoyu, who was frowning, and his eyes were a little cold. He seemed to understand something, and explained with a smile: "Dona's mother is from Daming, and I was a prince who went to pay tribute to Daming. When I was a child, I met her mother, we really loved each other, and her mother followed me back to Champa.”

Speaking of this, the old king sighed.

"It's a pity that her mother was weak, and she gave birth to Donna herself. After drifting with me on the boat for so long, she became ill when she returned to Champa. She left the child and me soon after, and left this place. world."

"Later, when I was busy with state affairs, Dona was always taken care of by my mother's maid. The maid was from Ming Dynasty. Dona was similar to Da Ming in terms of habits and language."

Hearing the other party's explanation, Zhu Gaoyu relaxed his brows.

Looking at the other party's sad expression, Zhu Gaoyu guessed that the other party was not lying.

"Sorry for mentioning your sadness."

The old king waved his hand, "After so many years, no matter how painful the wound was, it has healed. I just feel sorry for Dona's mother, and I left this world without enjoying the blessings."

After this little misunderstanding is resolved, the welcome ceremony will continue.

"Your Highness."

In the temporary accommodation arranged at the pier, as the envoy of the Champa Kingdom to welcome the chief envoy, he came to Zhu Gaoyu's resting room on the grounds of arranging meals.

"How's it going."

Lying on the brocade couch with his eyes closed, Zhu Gaoyu waved his hand towards the door, waited for the sound of footsteps going away outside, and asked a faint question.

"It has been arranged. The eldest prince has taken the magic medicine."

"His Royal Highness, the second prince, is currently at the border. I believe he will come back when he receives the news, but the minister heard that the remnants of Chenla are planning to take revenge."

The envoy reported in the lowest voice.

"About the marriage?"

The face of that shy girl appeared in Zhu Gaoyu's mind.

Zhu Gaoyu didn't know what the other party's daughter looked like at first.

His initial thought was that he would accept the other party regardless of his beauty or ugliness. For the sake of occupying the territory of the city, he would marry even if he married and left it at home.

This is the helplessness of being an upper-class person. Sometimes, for some purposes, one has to make sacrifices.

Fortunately, the result was not as bad as expected.

The princess Donna, no matter her appearance or figure, is of the superior kind, which completely fits Zhu Gaoyu's aesthetics.

"His Majesty the King agreed in principle, but he dotes on Princess Dona very much. After discussing with Her Majesty, Her Majesty wants to meet you in person before making a decision."

"However, based on the performance of Her Highness the Princess today, it is obvious that she has been conquered by your charm."

"Ha ha!"

Zhu Gaoyu chuckled and waved at the envoy.

"I don't have much time to stay here, so go back and make this happen as soon as possible."

"When you get married, remember the final arrangement."

The envoy bowed his head respectfully, and slowly exited the room.

Zhu Gaoyu was asking about the envoy, and the old king was also asking about his daughter's thoughts.

"How about my good daughter, if you are not satisfied, even if you offend Daming, I will refuse this marriage."

In the old king's temporary palace, the old king, who had changed his clothes and was about to attend the dinner, asked Princess Dona what she thought of the same dress.

"My daughter, my daughter..."

But Princess Donna didn't seem to hear what he said, she just quietly looked in a certain direction with a smile on her lips.

"Uh, father, what did you just say?"

The old king kept shouting, and Princess Dona gradually came back to her senses, and looked at her father in embarrassment.

As a person who has been there, the old king couldn't see what his daughter was thinking, he shook his head pretending to sigh, and sighed in the half-familiar Daming official dialect.

"Hey, if you don't stay in a female university, if you stay or stay, you will become enemies!"

"Father!"

Princess Dona, who was ridiculed by her father's words, blushed and acted coquettishly.

"Hahaha……"

Seeing the cutest side of his daughter, the old king couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The welcome banquet held by the old king was very grand, and not only Zhu Gaoyu and his officers and officials were invited, but also sea merchants were invited to attend.

He wanted to make friends with the officials of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, he also wanted to increase the exchanges between the businessmen of the two parties, so as to prepare for the next trade.

It's a pity that he thought too much.

Without Zhu Gaoyu's permission, these sea merchants would not dare to trade privately.

After all, their lifeblood is in Zhu Gaoyu's hands, and it is impossible to ruin their future future by trying to be quick for a while.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is not well."

When Zhu Gaoyu clinked glasses with the old king enthusiastically, a servant hurried over.

"Presumptuous, there are distinguished guests here, how can you be so rude."

The old king's expression was serious, he slapped the table heavily, and reprimanded the hurried servants.

The prince of Daming is sitting next to him, if this makes the other party think that the people of Champa do not understand the rules, it will be embarrassing for him if it spreads.

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

The servant knelt on the ground in fear, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Humph!"

The old king snorted coldly, then said to Zhu Gaoyu with a smile on his face: "This servant has no rules, His Royal Highness Yu laughed at him."

Zhu Gaoyu shook his head, "It's okay, maybe something happened, His Majesty the King should do things first."

The old king nodded apologetically, looked at the servant and asked, "Why are you so flustered, if you can't say something, you will be punished."

The servant quickly kowtowed, "Your Majesty, when His Royal Highness was arranging matters later, he suddenly vomited blood and fainted, and his life is now in critical condition."

"what!"

The old king stood up in shock, and Zhu Gaoyu also showed concern, and said loudly: "Zuo Jun, go and call the doctor on board."

"what happened."

The old king looked at the servant angrily and asked loudly.

The servant timidly explained the situation.

It turned out that the eldest prince, who was in charge of the banquet arrangement, was arranging the process later, but while talking, he suddenly coughed violently, and finally even spat out a big mouthful of blood, and passed out directly.

With such a big incident, the banquet will naturally not go on.

Zhu Gaoyu asked Wang Jin to bring people back to the boat, and he took the imperial physician who rushed over in the name of visiting, and went with the old king.

"Doctor Zhou, what's the matter?"

In a room, the old king anxiously walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, constantly looking at his eldest son who was lying on the bed with a pale face.

Dona accompanied the old king by the side, showing no concern for his brother's serious illness.

Her two elder brothers were very envious of her father's doting on her, and they used words and sarcasm from childhood to adulthood.

Not to mention that this elder brother is seriously ill now, even if he died, she would not shed a single tear.

Zhu Gaoyu, who was sitting on the guest seat, saw the imperial physician who was taking the pulse open his eyes, and asked knowingly.

Hearing Zhu Gaoyu's inquiry, the old king stopped quickly and looked nervously at the imperial physician.

The imperial physician stood up and pondered for a moment, and cupped his hands towards Zhu Gaoyu.

"Your Highness, this is a disease of lung fatigue, and it is already dying. The medicine stone is useless. Unless the gods come down to earth, there is no possibility of treatment."

Zhu Gaoyu's expression was serious. He looked at the old king whose face was getting paler and paler under his daughter's translation, and asked again.

"You know how much time is left!"

Physician Zhou stroked his beard, pondered for a moment and answered.

"If the old man treats me, I can live for another month, otherwise it will be up to 5 days!"

Hearing that the eldest son had only 5 days left, the old king's eyes darkened and he almost passed out.

The pain in life is nothing more than the loss of a father in youth, a wife in middle age, and a son in old age.

But he caught up with them all.

Thinking of the misery in his life, the old king, supported by his daughter, let out a painful lament.

However, the old king didn't know that the blow to him was just the beginning. In the future, not only would he lose his son, but he would also have no descendants, and even the country would have to change its name.
