Emperor Yongle issued an order to summon the envoys of Annan, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed.

When the Annan envoy saw Pan Ci, the young secretary of Honglu Temple, who conveyed his will, he could hardly believe his ears. has been neglected for so long, sat on the cold bench for so long, and finally kept the clouds open and saw the moon?

Ruan Jingzhen and the others didn't sleep all night, and gathered together to discuss, when they saw the great tomorrow, how to defend themselves, so as to dispel the idea of sending troops to the Ming Dynasty.

"But the son of heaven in the Ming Dynasty, Annan is willing to welcome the Chen family back to China."

"Welcome back to Chen? The king did not explicitly order it, and the blame was placed, how can we explain it? ”

"Burning eyebrows, what else can you do otherwise?" Ruan Jingzhen raised his voice, and immediately realized that the sound insulation effect of the wall was not good, so he lowered his voice and said, "The matter is in a hurry, and welcoming Chen Tianping back to China is just an excuse for Da Ming to send troops." When he returns to China, what kind of storm can Chen Tianping set off alone. The king knows and will not blame. ”

"This ......"

The people of Annam discussed it, and most of them agreed with Ruan Jingzhen's opinion.

As Ruan Xiang said, what if not?

With Annan's national strength, he had a hard time with the Ming Dynasty, and the chance of winning was almost zero.

Compared with the excitement of the Annan envoys, the Champa envoys were beating drums in their hearts.

The great tomorrow summons the Annan people, will it give the Annan people a chance to turn the tables? In any case, whether the arrogance of the Annam people can be suppressed and the land and population that were robbed by the Hu clan will require the help of the Ming Dynasty. If the great tomorrow suddenly doesn't plan to send troops, isn't he happy in vain before?

Prince Annan, who had lived in the hall for several months, was also apprehensive.

The Chen family has a blood feud with the Hu family, and if it weren't for the Hu family killing the Chen royal family, it would not be his turn to ask Daming for help.

With the expectation that the Ming Dynasty would send troops to help him seize the throne, he never received a tangible response.

Now, the Great Tomorrow suddenly summoned the traitor-minister-Ruan Jingzhen and others, could it be that things have changed?

In addition to the envoys of Annam and Champa, the tributary team of the Tatar tribes and savage Jurchens also lived in the guild hall. A few days ago, the envoys sent by the king of Joseon also arrived in Nanjing, and everyone had different purposes, and they were summoned by the Yongle Emperor at different times, and the rewards they received were also thick and thin, but they were equally concerned about the good show of Annam and Champa.

The Tatar tribe and the savage Jurchen calculated whether the Ming would send troops, and how much benefit the tribe would get if they followed and sent troops.

Since the middle of the year, the guards in northern Xinjiang have begun to gather strong men among the affiliated tribes. The tribal warriors who were subsumed into the border army system were treated several steps higher than those who guarded the thousand households. Especially in Daning, Xuanfu and other places, the grain, cloth and spices distributed outside the military pay alone are enough to make people blush.

If Da Ming really wants to send troops to attack An Annan, follow the army to go on the expedition, and fight for his military exploits, the rewards he gets will definitely make the family live a good life. Thinking about how much reward they could get by beheading a few levels, the tribal warriors couldn't help but rub their hands, and their hearts were hot.

In order to realize the tribe's dream of making a fortune, Annan must not be open, and continuing to die tenaciously is the best choice.

The Korean envoys also planned to calculate in their hearts, if the Ming Dynasty sent troops to Annam, would the border army in Liaodong be mobilized? If part of the border army in Liaodong goes south, will North Korea be able to take advantage of the opportunity?

Although the king of Joseon has changed, the Smecta have always drooled and salivated over the land of Liaodong. Even if he has not been able to do so, he does not hesitate to fabricate history. According to the words of later generations, the history of 10,000 years is nothing, and the ancestors of the people came from Mars.

The envoys in the embassy had their own calculations, and they also held several forums behind closed doors, thinking that they were doing secrets. didn't think about it, their every move was under the watchful eye of Jinyiwei, and the content of the meeting was all written down into notes and sent to Zhu Di word for word.

Before the meeting of the Annan envoys, Zhu Di flipped through the reports of Jinyiwei one by one, and saw the private plans of the North Korean envoys, and sneered a few times.

"Proposed decree, order Daning, Xuanfu, and Liaodong Zhuwei to belong to the tribe and gather strong men. King Zhao led 1,000 cavalry and 3,000 soldiers to inspect Liaodong and prepare for Korea. ”

The internal official took Zhu Di's order to Wenyuan Pavilion, and Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong, who were on duty, received the order and polished the holy decree neatly. When everything is in order, it is handed over to the emperor for sealing.

Since Xie Jin, Huang Huai and others were ordered to repair the book, Wenyuan Pavilion has been named seven people, and it is actually the second Yang Dominance.

Yang Shiqi is cautious and careful, Yang Rong is good at observing words and feelings, and understanding the will, every time a will is issued in the palace, he can satisfy the Son of Heaven. Therefore, he has been rewarded by the Son of Heaven many times, and with the official position of five grades, he has been courteous to six heavenly officials.

The limelight of the two gradually overpowered Xie Jin, who had been praised by Emperor Yongle.

In front of Er Yang, Scholar Xie was already yesterday's yellow flower.

Knowing the change in Wenyuan Pavilion's ranking, even if Xie Jin was unwilling, he could only grit his teeth and admit it. He was tied hand and foot by the matter of repairing the book, and he couldn't play any tricks under Dao Yan's nose.

Xie Jin is a smart person after all, knowing that the foolishness of "The Great Completion of Literature" has made the Son of Heaven have an opinion of him, for the sake of today's plan, only by seriously repairing the book and completing his own work with high quality can the Son of Heaven change his opinion of him.

In order to regain the trust of the Son of Heaven and regain his position in the Wenyuan Pavilion, the scholar Xie rolled up his sleeves, concentrated his spirit, and went all out.

With his leadership, the collation and transcription of book materials became very fast. The people who participated in the revision of the book did not dare to slack off at all, except for eating and sleeping, the rest of the time was spent copying classics.

Fighting at night has become the norm, and anyone who dares to say that they work less than eight hours a day will definitely be despised by everyone.

The talents of the Ming Dynasty are working day and night on the front line of their posts, and through their hands, a great ceremony that will go down in history is about to come out.

The solution of the book repair is not easy, and the same is true of Dao Yan, who oversees the work.

Compared with Xie Jin, Dao Yan also served as the emperor's think tank. When Emperor Yongle encounters unsolvable problems, he will always ask Dao Yan one or two. Including the dispatch of ships to the Western Ocean, the cold treatment of Annan, there is a shadow of Daoyan behind it.

After summoning the envoys of Annan, Emperor Yongle once again invited Daoyan to Xinuan Pavilion for advice.

Dao Yan restored his common name, dressed in official robes and wearing official hats, but he always had a shiny bald head.

Emperor Yongle said it a few times, but Dao Yan is still the same.

Seeing that no matter what he said, it was useless, and Zhu Di also gave up.

The great monk is close to the age of antiquity, as long as he doesn't have a whim, go to which deep ancient temple to escape the world and practice penance, what do you want, let him go.

In the West Warm Pavilion, several ice basins are placed on the side of the wall, and there are beautifully made wooden fans standing next to the basins.

Wooden fans were donated by the Daning Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau, and the number is limited. In addition to the emperor himself, only the empress and Zhu Neng, the Duke of Chengguo, can enjoy the cool breeze treatment. The emperor's two brothers-in-law and his own son did not have any of them. Before Meng expanded production and sent finished products to Beijing, the emperor's brother-in-law and son could only drag their families to the palace to cool off.

Zhu Gaochi and Xu Zengshou didn't care for the time being, but Wei Guogong entered the palace three times and twice, which made it rumored in the court that the emperor was about to reuse his brother-in-law, and it was very likely that he would be sent to the north to guard it.

Hearing the rumors, the northern neighbors who had learned the military value of Wei Guogong in the early years all tightened their skins.

Having a killing god in Beijing is enough to infiltrate people, and another one is coming? What does Zhu Laosi want to do, can he still be a neighbor happily?

In the Xinuan Pavilion, when the hour came, the eunuch who turned the wooden fan wiped his sweat and changed shifts with his colleagues who were sticking to the corner.

Turning the handle requires manpower, people will always be tired, in order to ensure that the file is continuous, the eunuchs who serve around the emperor and queen temporarily increase several places, all of them are strong and healthy, especially good at arm strength.

No one thinks that being a manpower generator is a chore, on the contrary, being able to show his face in front of the Son of Heaven and the queen is not something that ordinary people can ask for.

The eunuchs who were fortunate enough to be named read all day long, don't come so soon in the cool autumn season, it's best to be hot for another ten days and half a month. Serving by the emperor's side, regardless of the benefits, the status in the inner court is like a rocket.

In the past, when I met someone who was obedient, I had to nod my head and bow down, and in recent days, the young eunuchs in the twelve prisons have to give a smile to the person who shakes the fan leaf for the emperor.

With all the face in the inside, who is willing to go back to the old days?

After learning that the wooden fan was offered by the Daning town guard, the favorability of the eunuchs who benefited from it instantly soared towards Xingningbo.

The civil officials - pap - pap - put a big poke of "courtier" on Meng's head, but the eunuchs insisted that Xingningbo was a good person worth befriending.

The so-called unintentional willows and willows are shady.

Meng just wanted to brush the emperor's favorability, by the way, drive the popular trend in the capital, and make some extra money, of course, it is better to sell products overseas, but he never thought that while brushing **OSS, it also improved the favorability of a group of NPCs.

There is an old saying that there are people in the DPRK and China who are easy to do.

Meng raised his head and raised his eyebrows, what is it that there are people in the court, there are people in our palace, it is better to do things!

It is a foregone conclusion that he will not deal with the civil officials, and it is not uncommon for him to point his nose and scold him for being lucky. The reputation is already like this, and being good friends with the eunuchs is completely stressful. It must be noted that it is necessary to report to the emperor in advance.

Fortunately, his relationship with Jinyiwei is good, even if someone sues the emperor in front of him, it will not become a big climate.

But in this way, the big poke on the door of the head must be stamped again.

Next to the friend of the eunuch, there are five big characters of Jinyiwei's accomplice.

With such a big poke, there is no need for others to point out, Meng himself thinks that the word "Shechen" is very appropriate.

Who made the ancients and historians define it this way?

Coupled with the monk master with a mixed reputation, and the prince who took advantage of him in the name of a friend at every turn, Meng was sure that he would continue to move forward and stride forward on the broad road of treachery.

Regarding Meng's situation, Dao Yan just twisted the Buddha beads and occasionally mentioned a few words. He believes that he looks at his apprentices, and those who achieve great things are not informal, and they do not want to be famous.

How is Shechen? He was also scolded by scholars and incomprehensible by his relatives. In the scolding, he realized his lifelong ideal, and Daming also had a master.

Once you have identified the road ahead, you don't have to look ahead, you just need to go on firmly.

Dao Yan believes that Meng may be criticized by others, but his nature is pure and good, and most of the things he does are for the country and the people. The Son of Heaven also knows this, otherwise, Meng Shishilang's head would have moved a long time ago.

Zhu Di summoned Daoyan to Xinuan Pavilion, which was still a matter of Annan.

"The Hu clan wants to welcome the Chen clan back to China and return the land they occupy, what does the master think it means?"

"What is Your Majesty's intention?"

Zhu Di didn't speak, Dao Yan simply closed his eyes and recuperated, he was older, and his energy was no longer as good as before.

If someone else dared to do this in front of Emperor Yongle, he would have been dragged down by the Han general to serve with a stick.

After a long time, Zhu Di spoke; "Does the master know what I mean?"

Dao Yan opened his eyes and said, "The heart of the Hu family is clearly revealed, and Your Majesty must have a heart like a mirror." Shock Annan and take back the land on the border, or once and for all, but in the mind of His Majesty. ”

Zhu Di laughed loudly, "The master really knows me." ”

"I don't dare."

"According to the master's opinion, what should I do if I want to do it once and for all?"

"The minister thinks that according to the will of the Hu family, send the Chen family back to the country."

Zhu Di looked at Dao Yan, Dao Yan lowered his eyes, and looked drooping and old.

The monarch and the minister have been together for more than ten years, and what Zhu Di thinks, Dao Yan can guess. Dao Yan's idea for Zhu Di, without thinking deeply, Zhu Di can also understand,

Sending Chen Tianping home?

Zhu Di knocked on the imperial case, his tiger eyes narrowed slightly, and then he suddenly became apparent.

It's time to send Chen home.

If you don't give Hu a chance to start, how can you do it once and for all?

In September of the third year of Emperor Yongle, the great emperor summoned the envoys of Annan, and then sent the pedestrian Nie Cong and others to send an edict to the Hu clan of Annan, saying that I would be the king of all countries, and treat people with heart.

After some lay-up, it leads to the main topic.

However, he is accustomed to deceit, seizing the position of the first lord of the country, and recovering his cunning to seal it. Now that the repatriation is resigned, Erguo sincerely repents, and returns the Chen family to the king's affairs. Returned to Luzhou and other places, waited for the village, did everything before the reform, I should be a big mistake, built a large county, and passed on to the descendants. I said that the words were connected to the heavens, and I came to the chapter to issue the order.

In short, it is to say to the king of the Hu clan that I am the son of the great tomorrow, ruling over all nations, and treating people with their hearts. I already know about the usurpation of the throne and the canonization of you. Now that the incident has happened, it is useless to resist stubbornly, and it is the right way to change the past.

If he sincerely repented, he welcomed Chen Tianping back to China, gave up the throne, returned the land he had occupied, and vowed not to harass the Ming Dynasty border again.

I'm happy, I can give you a knighthood, and let the new king carve out a big county from Annam, and have hereditary descendants.

If you dare to disobey the yang and the yin, what will happen to you, weigh it yourself.

The edict was issued, and the envoy of Annan, Ruan Jingzhen, and others asked to return to China with Nie Cong and others, and Zhu Di immediately approved it.

Asking the Chen family to return to the country is Ruan Jing Allah Zhang, if the Hu family wants to obediently do it, Ruan Jingzhen and the others naturally cannot stay in Daming.

When the Annan mission left, Zhu Di did not give any reward, not even the travel expenses.

Daming, who has always been wealthy and stingy, made this move, undoubtedly warning Annan again that if he does not act according to Daming's wishes, the consequences will be very serious.

Ruan Jingzhen and others set off with a long sigh, but the Cham people who stayed in Nanjing celebrated with their palms.

Don't worry, the Ming Dynasty will definitely clean up Annan, and the time is only in the morning and evening.

When Nie Cong and Annan's envoys left, it was already October.

The golden autumn moon is the time of abundant harvest.

The feudal kings from all over the country have successively sent people to Beijing to worship, since the rules set by the Hongwu year, every spring ploughing and autumn harvest, the vassal kings must send people into Beijing to offer wheat.

After the Daning wheat was harvested, Juntun and Shangtun were hurrying to replant buckwheat. The fields in Longshang are another busy scene.

Meng Da rode out of the city, inspected the military tun with the two commanders in charge of Tuntian, and saw the Jurchens driving the horse team from a distance, carrying leather goods and medicinal herbs, and asked sideways: "The autumn market will open, and the west of the city has been arranged?" ”

"Uncle can rest assured, the shop stalls are all according to last year's example, and the signs were issued in the spring. Those who have been here can find a place directly, there are new arrivals, and there are also experiences that log in at the west gate, and there will be no mistakes. ”

Meng nodded, saw the Jurchens stop at the city gate, and said, "The tax officials sent by the imperial court must be courteous." The money and grain that belong to the household department shall be truthfully reported to the tax department. If it is handed over to the Son of Heaven, it shall be recorded separately and copied in two copies, so that no one needs to know. ”

"Yes."

"Also," Meng seemed to suddenly remember something, and the corners of his mouth curled, "Two days later, the deputy envoy of the Shuntian Prefecture Tax Division will come to Daning, and a copy of the transcript will be handed over to him immediately." ”

"Humble and courageous, but what does it mean to be a prince of the country?"

"That's what I meant." Meng put away the smile on his face, "The Son of Heaven has long intended to move the capital to Beijing, and the Beijing Xingbu Department wants to move the Xingtaifu Temple located in Beijing to Daning. What is the situation of Daning in the future, and what is the future of the capital, it depends on the personal creation. ”

Although it is artificial, it must be mentioned.

Liu Yanshi clenched his fists, "Uncle Xie." ”

Meng Xiaoxiao, "You don't have to thank me, just go back and bring a letter to everyone." ”

"Yes."

At this time, Zheng He's fleet, which was docked on Java Island, finally had a harvest.

The people sent to the island to inquire reported that they had contacted the remnants of the former Song Dynasty on the island and learned some specific information about the island from them. The previous attacks on the convoy were not an isolated case, but all the fleets docked in the shore ports were more or less taboo.

"The subordinates also learned that there are several countries on the island, with the largest Duma Ban in the west of the country of Ma Baxie, and the rest are Yuanjiang in Cheli, near Saucer, Rixia Luozhi, and Jinmaoli The three kingdoms are all headed by Dumapan. Before the king of the east and the king of the west of the country of Ma Ya Ba Xie contended, fought for several years, after the defeat, the land was occupied by Dumapan, the place where the fleet docked, the Javanese people called the old port, the former land of the king of the east, now under the jurisdiction of Dumapan. ”

The military man was concise and to the point, and quickly clarified the form of the island, and also locked down the main envoy who attacked the Ming fleet.

Zheng He and everyone in the cabin were solemn, pondered for a long time, and then said: "From this point of view, there is no doubt that the culprit is Du Maban. ”

"Then immediately send someone to Dumapan.

"There are many dense forests on the island, and the islanders are dark and short, hiding in the forest, where to find it?"

"Someone can be found to lead the way."

"What if there is an ambush? Dumaban is the culprit, but everyone knows that the neighboring countries may also harbor evil intentions. ”

"Zhou's admonition is reasonable."

"But ......"

Everyone in the cabin argued, and in the end, it was Zheng He's words that made the smell of gunpowder in the cabin disappear.

"Dumaban must be seen, one can ask the remnants of the previous dynasty again, the second can find the islanders, promise money and silk, let them lead the way, and three can send people to Sauceri and other countries, and tell the truth."

Zheng He spoke well, and there was no one in the cabin. With two voyages, Zheng He had already established his prestige in the fleet.

"The country is powerful, and the neighboring countries are up and down on the surface, behind it, there may not be no selfish intentions, and it should be used well to benefit me."

At this point, everyone nodded.

"When he was found in the country of Ma Ya Xie, he hoped that Du Ma Ban should be severely reprimanded for his crimes, and ordered him to surrender the first evil and compensate for the loss of the fleet. If not, we can do it instead. ”

Hand over the first evil and compensate for the loss?

Everyone looked at each other, needless to say, the islanders who attacked the fleet before had already gone to see the king of Hades, what did Gonggong Zheng mean by letting that hope tie himself up?

As for compensation for damages, what is the most valuable thing on the island, apart from the large forests and peppers? I heard that the island next to it is rich in gold, but it has nothing to do with Dumapan.

Bite to death and let Du Ma Ban compensate, what can he give?

Wood, pepper, exotic animals?

Or, land?

After carefully pondering Zheng Gonggong's words, he reacted quickly, and his eyes were already shining.
