Let's say that Zhou Xu'an followed the king of Anyang County into the palace, because he was only a five-grade official, he did not follow the king of Anyang County into the Fengtian Palace, but sat in the banquet hall outside the palace.

The banquet was just an ordinary banquet, just to celebrate that Samarkand in the Hongwu and Yongle years, before and after sending more than a dozen envoys to the Ming Dynasty to show goodwill, and Xuande six years again sent a delegation over, in addition to the Ming Emperor once again to show favor and willing to be a minister, but also brought white jade jewelry, camels, lions, spotted leopards, as well as a variety of BMW and precious metals and other rare gifts. And in addition, there are also Naharai, Hami, Turpan, etc., who have also sent groups to come to Daming many times to worship and worship. In addition, even Timur and many other countries in Central Asia sent people to visit Wèn.

Therefore, when the officials are happy, they naturally hope that the ministers of the court and the central government will also be happy, so they held a banquet to enjoy themselves. However, this face is not as good as last year, because of the heavy snow Zhaorui, the official family held a snow banquet, Shang Baosi set up the throne on the palace, spread the yellow man, and set up 24 guards to serve Jinwuwei. The teaching department has set up nine music songs in the hall, and also set up a big music outside the hall, and the dance team is waiting outside the hall. Guanglu Temple has a wine pavilion in the west of the throne, a dining pavilion in the east of the throne, and a Zhensha Delicious Pavilion on the east and west sides of the wine and dining pavilion. In the light song and dance, the luxury of the royal banquet is fully displayed.

Unlike today's event, the monarch and the ministers had a small gathering, so even the wives in the harem of the East Palace did not participate, so the banquet ended quickly. It's just that after the ministers dispersed, the prince of the great inner eunuch came out and stopped Zhou Xu'an, saying that he was summoned by the official family.

Zhou Xu'an had already expected it, and he deliberately waited here, and when he saw the prince coming to give advice, he followed the prince into the inner hall.

The inner hall has been evacuated at this time, and only a seat on the right side of the hall remains. After Zhou Xu'an knelt down, Emperor Xuande flattened him and gave him a seat. In fact, in the early years, Emperor Xuande went out of the palace to serve micro-clothes. When he went to find his cousin Anyang Junwang, he happened to meet Zhou Xu'an and had a good conversation with him.

Zhou Xu'an didn't know that he was today's official family at that time, but after he found out, he found that he was very different from the "cricket emperor" in people's mouths today. He may have liked the drama of weaving, but because he accompanied his grandfather to conquer Mongolia several times in his early years, he traveled to the people and experienced some things that emperors could not understand. And in terms of character, he inherited the generosity of his father Renzong, and knew how to make good use of his talents, even in this period when the status of a merchant was declining. He also entrusted Zhou Xu'an with important tasks. It is to make Zhou Xu feel at ease and be grateful to Dade.

And this time, the official family asked him to go to the Western Regions with the king of Anyang County, and the most important thing is to monopolize the trade between the Western Regions and the Ming Realm, and prevent some merchants from selling goods without permission.

Coincidentally, a few days ago, there was a group of Hami merchants who wanted to communicate with the Ming Dynasty. He even pretended to be an envoy to visit, and his previous letters were written in a stumbling manner. In fact, no one in the official family or the ministers of the DPRK and China saw it, but they were still happy to pretend not to see it. Anyway, as soon as the contract is signed, both parties get rich, isn't it just that everyone is happy. In fact, the imperial court also used this subtle diplomatic means. to obtain the wealth that is rolling on the trade routes from the northwestern state.

So I took this opportunity to discuss with the ministers. So he asked his cousin Anyang Junwang, who was valued by the emperor, and Zhou Xu'an, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, to go to the Western Regions with the caravan pretending to be Hami's envoys. After arriving there, in order to keep the secret they were impersonating, the caravan naturally had to do its best to introduce the customs and business details of the Western Regions to the Ming mission. So this time I only made money and didn't lose money.

Moreover, this envoy also happened to be able to reply to the vassal kings of those states who were subordinate to the Ming Dynasty for the Ming Dynasty, and bring them the long-term friendship of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the king of Anyang and Zhou Xu'an went to the Western Regions this time. It is also very important, and the official family naturally has to pay attention to them. So the banquet of the ministers over there ended. The official family summoned the king of Anyang County and Zhou Xu'an, on the one hand, to practice to them, and on the other hand, to give them some rewards before departure.

The king of Anyang was named the king of Anyang by the king of the county, and in the future, he will inherit the throne of his father King Zhao, and he will reward the good land and 1000 taels, gold and silver. Zhou Xu'an's was sealed as a third-class Fuxing Hou, three generations of Fuyin, and also rewarded a town in Miyun District, the original site of the Zhou family, and gave the name Fuxing Town as a territory, in addition to a thousand taels of gold and silver......

After the two thanked them, they chatted with the official family for a while and then went home.

After Zhou Xu'an returned home, the will of the palace reward arrived, and the whole family happily accepted the holy decree, and Zhou Xu'an didn't bother to listen to the lively voices of those people, so he went back to Rui'an Courtyard alone.

As soon as he returned to Rui'an Hospital, Ah Cai brought the things he received from Chunyu to Zhou Xu'an. He had already come back, and he went to Yimengju to see the third lady first, but he didn't protect the spring rain girl to the eldest young master, saying that it was a hamburger to eat, and the third lady snatched it and ate two.

He returned to Rui'an Courtyard very sadly, and he was still a little nervous about whether to tell the eldest young master, and later saw that the eldest young master entered the palace again and sealed the reward, and felt that he had no time to take care of these and remained silent. just told Zhou Xu'an in detail about meeting Miss Chunyu, and showed everything to Zhou Xu'an, and saw that the eldest young master of his family had no orders, so he went with confidence.

Zhou Xu'an listened to Ah Cai's reaction when he saw Chunyu's token, and looked at the things she asked Ah Cai to bring back to him, feeling funny but happy, she still thought about him, otherwise she wouldn't have thought so carefully. But why didn't he miss her, he had already thought about it before he left, and it was really hard for him to imagine what it was like to not be able to see each other for two months.

He never imagined that he would one day miss someone desperately, and he still longed to never leave her every day. And he thought that there were still many unstable factors between them, so he couldn't wait to hurry to the Western Regions and then rush back, and Shun Shun Lili properly solved the matter of the two of them. Then he can hug the beauty and see his sweetheart every day.

Thinking like this, he laughed unconsciously, he looked at the sleeping bag universal bag and the like that Chunyu gave him, and he only felt that he was worthy of being the person on the tip of his heart, the idea was really novel and strange, and it was convincing. He must cherish what she prepared this time, and this burger is also very practical, and people must prepare it more, so that they can take this delicious and nutritious food with them on this trip, and it can be regarded as living up to her wishes.
