"What?"

Ruan Fuyuan stood up from the chair with a "rub", and his fat body trembled slightly.

"Father, this ......" Hearing this, Ruan Fucang was also slightly shocked.

Only Ruan Fulan frowned with a normal expression, and said, "I'm afraid that Emperor Ming's edict has arrived, father, how should this be?" ”

Ruan Fuyuan turned around anxiously, and muttered in his mouth: "The Ming Dynasty can't be offended, but on the Zheng side, we can't fight either, and the people of Guangnan won't be able to bear it anymore." ”

Ruan Fulan looked outside and said, "Come in." ”

One of the servants hunched over and ran over.

Ruan Fulan asked about the situation carefully, and after learning that the Ming Dynasty came to be a second-grade official, and he was also the imperial seal of Ping Dongbo, his heart suddenly broke out, and he drove the subordinate away, and then said to Ruan Fuyuan: "Father, the Ming Emperor actually sent such a big official over, I'm afraid he really wants to seal his father." ”

"No, it won't!" Ruan Fuyuan said a little nervously: "It should be that the matter of grain and rubber trees is too important to them, so they sent someone to talk to us about business, in this way, Lan, you go and deal with it first, probe their tone, and the master will make a decision later." ”

"Yes, Father!" Ruan Fulan bowed down and was about to withdraw.

Ruan Fuyuan said again: "Wait, after you see the envoy, if there is really a canonization decree, it will be said that the lord is old, and he has recently contracted a vicious illness and cannot accept the decree, so you must wait for the lord to recover from his illness, and then bathe and burn incense for three days." Take this as an excuse, and in addition, you must not let him know about the fact that Emperor Li sent someone to seal it. ”

"I see, father!"

"Good, good." Ruan Fuyuan said: "You go first." He turned around and told his youngest son Ruan Fucang and said: "Also, strictly guard the envoys from the Li Dynasty, so that they don't go out if they have nothing to do, just say that Fuchun has been unstable recently." Anyway, they must not be allowed to know that the master has dealings with Da Ming, otherwise, the Zheng family will definitely bite him like a mad dog. ”

Although everyone is now a prince, and the rights of Emperor Li no longer exist, on the surface, both of them are still Emperor Li's courtiers. This is the rule of the game, as a courtier, you have no right to have political dealings with foreign vassals.

……

In Su Baiyi's team, in addition to the ceremonial officials and accompanying servants and sailors, there were also 500 elite soldiers with armor, and the total number of them was more than 600. The group took a turn from Lingjiang, and then came to Fuchun under the leadership of Shi Cheng.

Fuchun is not near the sea, the city is about ten kilometers away from the coast. Su Baiyi and the others parked the fleet on the sea and led the team to enter Fuchun City from the land.

After arriving in Fuchun City, he was warmly received by local officials.

arranged them into the best post station in Fuchun, gave them the best food, and even the official Ruan Lord sent someone to send a few tender girls to Su Baiyi to serve.

However, after the national letter was submitted, he didn't wait for Lord Ruan's summons for a long time, which made Su Baiyi feel a little like sitting on pins and needles.

"Chaozong!" Su Baiyi called Hou Fangyu over and said, "You came here once a while ago, and you are quite familiar with this place, so take a few brothers to the city in disguise to find out the bottom and ask if the Zheng family really sent an envoy." This Ruan lord didn't summon him for a long time, and I was afraid that someone would interfere with it. ”

"Yes, sir!" As soon as Hou Fangyu gave up his hand, he went down to prepare.

After lunch, the Quang Nam official finally came.

It was a fat man of about fifty years old, tall and dressed in yellow, yellow, green and green like a singer. After Su Baiyi and him met him seriously, they learned that this person was the eldest son of the current Ruan Lord, and his name was Ruan Fulan.

Su Baiyi really didn't care much about the name, his eyes were all on the clothes of this goods.

It stands to reason that Vietnam, like North Korea and Japan, has been attracted by the broad and profound culture of Greater China, and has learned a little bit over the centuries, and this clothing is naturally the Ming Dynasty.

At the beginning, when Zhu Yuanzhang set the Ming Dynasty to serve, there was a rule that the court service of the foreign domain was three levels lower than that of the courtiers, and it was the same level as the eunuchs. Therefore, the clothes of the king of Joseon are basically the same as those of Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen.

That's not bad either.

But what is going on with this Annanite?

If you want to talk about culture, I also learned a part, for example, the clothes worn by the Ruan family, the whole fabric is yellow, but the yellow cloth is embroidered with green, red, black, blue, purple, and blue, anyway, piece by piece, it looks like countless patches from a distance.

Yes, that's not an image, it's a patch!

The court costume was originally a very solemn costume, but this Ruan Fulan wore it with a somewhat funny meaning, even more fancy than the costumes in those troupes in Beijing.

Could it be that the men of Annan all use this kind of colorful patches to show their identity?

Su Baiyi felt funny in his heart, but his face was a righteous salute: "I don't dare to be a great gift for the prince, this envoy came this time, one is to promote the friendship between the Ming Dynasty and Quang Nam, the other is to talk about the business between us, and third, Your Majesty has sealed Lord Ruan, and he must read the holy decree in person, and ask the prince to pass it on his behalf, so that the envoy can meet Lord Ruan as soon as possible." ”

There is indeed a holy decree!

Ruan Fulan was both embarrassed and happy in his heart.

The embarrassing thing is that now the father is at both ends of the rat, towards Qin Duchu, and he wants to save face, and he is afraid that he will be beaten by the Zheng family after accepting the edict of the Ming Dynasty.

Happily, Da Ming really brought the edict.

Once they dare to follow in Guangnan, then from now on it will be the vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

Whether he doesn't care about the Ming Domain, the key is that once it is recognized by the Ming Dynasty, it is equivalent to the establishment of the country.

Now no matter how much their Ruan family is bullish, it is just a small force in the territory, but once it rises to the level of a feudal state, it is equivalent to being on an equal footing with the Li Dynasty in the north.

"Thank you Emperor Ming for your love!" Ruan Fulan also spoke good Chinese, and arched his hand towards Su Baiyi and said: "Thank you Lord for coming to the disadvantage from thousands of miles away, the sea is stormy and rough, and the Lord has a lot of hardships, you might as well rest in the post station for a few days, and when your spirit is better, it is not too late to see your father again." ”

Su Baiyi snorted coldly in his heart, and said lightly: "It's not as unbearable as the prince said, the envoy came from Nanzhili and took my latest big ship in the Ming Dynasty, and it will arrive in four days at most, so there is no hardship." ”

"What?" Ruan Fulan opened his mouth and said, "Four...... Fourth, sir, you're not kidding, are you? ”

"Do you think I'm going to joke with you?" The corners of Su Baiyi's mouth curled: "Shizi, what this envoy said is true, if you don't believe it, you can go to my ship tomorrow to take a look, and you will know after a try." ”

"Amount, amount......"

Ruan Fulan's mind was a little messy.

Before, his father Ruan Fuyuan told Hou Fangyu to ask the Ming court to give a reward, but in fact, there was not much sincerity. If you offend Daming, there will be no serious consequences.

Not to mention that the Ming Dynasty now has to deal with the powerful Hong Taiji on the one hand, and the more and more powerful thieves in the country on the other, and it is a little too busy to take care of itself. Even if the Ming Dynasty didn't have these problems, they wouldn't easily send troops to Annam.

If you take 10,000 steps back, what if you send troops?

There is the Mo clan in the north, and there are two unlucky ghosts of the Zheng clan in the middle, can they really let the Ming army come to the south of the Lingjiang River smoothly?

No way!

As for talking about the sea.

Ruan Fulan knew very well the strength of their Quang Nam Naval Division, and although he did not dare to say that he could match the Daming Naval Division, it should be no problem to rely on the advantage of near land to entangle.

But now, when he heard that Su Baiyi had only taken four days from Nanzhili to their Fuchun, he became nervous.

If this is the case, then the Ming Dynasty does not need to attack from the land at all, and can directly transport the army to Quang Nam by boat, if this is the case, Quang Nam will be finished!

However, whether Daming has such a ship or not, we still need to test it tomorrow.

Ruan Fulan instantly adjusted his mood, took a deep breath, and started another profession in his life: actor.

"Sir, I can't hide it!" Ruan Fulan's eyes turned red in a second, and he said in a crying voice to Su Baiyi: "My father is seventy this year, and his body is not as good as a day, some time ago, the Zheng family bullied me Guangnan was weak, and sent 100,000 troops to attack, my father was ill in that war, and now it is more than two months." Today, he was overjoyed to hear that the Great Tomorrow Envoy had arrived, but his current physical condition was really not suitable to worry about state affairs. ”

"Sick?" Su Baiyi frowned: This special mother's is a good excuse.

"Yes, sir!" Ruan Fulan lowered his head and said: "My father said, let the kid be sure to treat the angel well, and when he is cured, he will bathe and fast for three days, and then he can receive His Majesty's edict to show respect." ”

"Okay!" Su Baiyi frowned, this guy is obviously talking nonsense, but there is nothing to find fault with on the surface, if he wants this old man to accept the order honestly, it seems that he still has to start from the envoy of the Zheng family, or make this big brother in Guangnan fearful, otherwise, this trip will be difficult.

"But!" Su Baiyi's eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "There are other things in this envoy, and they won't wait too long, Shizi, so do it yourself!" ”

"Absolutely, definitely!" Ruan Fulan wiped the fine sweat on his forehead and said, "The villain is provincial." There was a rather embarrassing saying: "Don't call me the son of the world in the future, we don't have this statement in Guangnan, and my father has not set up any son, otherwise I will really fall into the situation of disloyalty and injustice." ”

"Haha!" Su Baiyi smiled slightly, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Do you think the envoy doesn't know?" Hehe, but the envoy didn't shout nonsense, after His Majesty's holy decree is issued, you Ruan Fulan will be the son of Quang Nam, and the son of Quang Nam recognized by my Ming Dynasty. ”

"My lord is ......," Ruan Fulan felt excited.

Although he is the eldest son, Annan does not pay much attention to the inheritance system of the eldest son, and seeing that his father is old, he loves his younger brother more and more, and he also mutters in his heart. Now that he heard Su Baiyi say this, how could he not be excited?

"Hahaha!" Su Baiyi laughed: "Don't worry, it's all written in the holy decree, but the king of Guangnan has not yet received the decree, and it is inconvenient for the envoy to say it to the outside world." ”

King of Quang Nam!

After Ruan Fulan heard these three words, his heart began to beat again.
