There are not a few people in Zhou Chong's team, in addition to the people he brought, there are also Jinyi Wei led by Wu Shan and Ma Liang, as well as Ashikaga Kazuki, these envoys from the Japanese country, these people add up to hundreds of people, although Wang Lun's mansion is not small, but it is definitely not able to accommodate so many people.

However, before coming, Zhou Chong had already arranged that Wu Shan and Ma Liang were the head snakes in the capital, so Zhou Chong gave them a sum of money and asked them to rent a few houses to settle down, and Ashikaga Kazuki and those people also stayed with Wu Shan and them temporarily, after all, they came secretly this time, and outsiders did not know their identities, and it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to treat them as regular missions, so they could only temporarily arrange accommodation for them by Zhou Chong, and they could only help them introduce Emperor Zhengde when they had the opportunity in the future.

It was also arranged in advance, so before arriving at Wang Lun's mansion, Wu Shan and they had already separated from Zhou Zhong with Ashikaga Ikki, and did not meet with Wang Lun, and Zhou Zhong also told Wu Shan to try not to leak the identities of Ashikaga Ikki and these people, so as not to cause trouble, to know that Lu Dao took an envoy from a country into Beijing privately, and he was not an official, and this alone was enough for people to punish him.

Wang Lun saw his daughter and son-in-law arrive home safely, which made him very excited, asked Jinxuan a lot of questions, and even forgot to invite them into the house, fortunately, the old family behind reminded Wang Lun to wake up, and immediately led his daughter and son-in-law into the mansion, and the family members in the palace also helped to settle the people brought by Zhou Chong.

When he entered the living room, Zhou Zhong found that the people of the palace had almost prepared the banquet, because Wang Lun knew in advance that Zhou Zhong had brought a lot of female dependents, so only one table of wine banquet was prepared in the main hall. As for Bang'er and Bai Mengwan. then dined with Jinxuan in the side hall. However, as soon as Jinxuan settled the bracelets, she immediately came to talk to her father.

Just when Jinxuan was talking to her father, she kept signaling Zhou Chong with her eyes, and at first Zhou Chong didn't understand what she meant, until Jinxuan secretly pointed to her stomach, which made Zhou Chong wake up, and immediately smiled and said: "Father-in-law, it's a coincidence." Just now, we have just arrived in Beijing, and we have received great news. ”

Hearing Zhou Chong's words, Wang Lun couldn't help but smile very curiously: "Oh, Wenda, tell me what kind of good news it is, which can make you so happy?" ”

At this time, Zhou Zhong sold a pass first, and did not rush to tell Jinxuan about her pregnancy, but first started from their departure from Weihaiwei, and told the story that Jinxuan was suspected of being pregnant, and the result was the most joyful, and Wang Lun was very happy at the beginning. When I heard that my daughter was not pregnant, I couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.

But at this time, Zhou Chong's words changed. began to talk about what happened when they entered Beijing, but as Zhou Zhong narrated, Wang Lun's eyes lit up again, and when he heard Doctor Tao conclude that Jinxuan was pregnant, he couldn't help but shout: "Great, I have also heard of this Doctor Tao, his medical skills are very clever, since he concluded that Jinxuan is pregnant, it will not be wrong, and after the two of you have it in the future, I will let go of my last wish!" ”

"Father!" Hearing that after she got married, her father was still worried about her own affairs, which made Jinxuan's eyes reddened slightly, and she couldn't help screaming, and then tears fell.

Seeing that his daughter was in tears again, Wang Lun said with a blank face: "Jinxuan, you must be calm during pregnancy, and there must not be too many mood swings, otherwise it will hurt the child, hurry up and stop crying!" ”

"Ha Luha, my father-in-law really forgot his daughter when he had a grandson, Jinxuan, you will be miserable in the future, it is estimated that in the future, my father-in-law will only have his grandson in his eyes, and there will be no daughter like you." Zhou Chong also joked when he heard this, but after Wang Lun heard it, he laughed, and Jinxuan also broke into laughter, and then kept saying that his father was partial, and now that the child has not been born, she can't even cry.

Then Jinxuan accompanied her father to say a few words of homely things, and thought that they were all in the side hall, so she got up and left, leaving only Wang Lun and Zhou Chong, the son-in-law of Weng, in the living room, and the two chatted while eating.

"Virtuous son-in-law, you suddenly came to the capital this time, but what is the important matter, do you need my help?" I saw Wang Lun take the wine glass and drink it all, then he raised his head and asked Zhou Chong.

Hearing Wang Lun's question, Zhou Chong stopped and hesitated for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law has indeed a few things to do when I come to the capital this time, but these things are all related to His Majesty's current situation, so in the next few days, I will wait for His Majesty's summons, and whether it can be done at that time depends on His Majesty's attitude." ”

Wang Lun didn't show a particularly surprised expression on his face when he heard that Zhou Zheng was seeing His Majesty the Emperor, after all, he had long believed that Zhou Zhong had a close connection with His Majesty today, so it was naturally normal for him to come to Beijing to see His Majesty this time.

"I see!" Wang Lun heard that Zhou Chong's affairs were all related to His Majesty's Majesty today, and after saying a word to himself, he didn't ask Zhou Zhong what he was doing, and began to talk about other topics.

Speaking of which, Wang Lun is also very curious about the relationship between Zhou Chong and Zhengde, but he has never asked Zhou Chong directly, mainly because he feels that as a courtier, he should not inquire about the private affairs of His Majesty the Emperor, and he has been an official for many years, so he naturally understands that it is best not to know some things, otherwise he will only cause trouble for himself.

However, Zhou Zhong considered that Wang Lun had been in the court for so long, and he was one of the high-level officials of the Ming Dynasty, he must have been very aware of the attitude of the Ming Dynasty towards overseas countries, so he wanted to know what Wang Lun of the Ministry of Enlightenment had to say about the arrival of Ashikaga Ikaki and other envoys of the Japanese Kingdom.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chong immediately spoke: "Father-in-law, in fact, the son-in-law came this time, not only us, but also a team of people who separated from us after entering Beijing, and among this team of people are the overseas envoys sent by the Japanese state, they want to ask to see His Majesty the Emperor, I don't know what the father-in-law thinks about this matter?" ”

Wang Lun was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhou Chong's words, and then asked in surprise: "The mission of the Wa Kingdom?" What are they coming to do, now is not the time to pay tribute, could it be that they want to see His Majesty to increase the number of tributes? ”

Seeing that Wang Lun did not leave the tribute, this made Zhou Zhong quite helpless, I am afraid that in Wang Lun's heart, the understanding of the Ming Dynasty only knows that the other party is one of the tributary countries of the Ming Dynasty, and at most knows that the Ming Dynasty is a tribute for ten years, as for the internal situation of the Japanese Kingdom, Wang Lun is probably ignorant, and it is worth mentioning that there are definitely not a few officials like Wang Lun in the Ming Dynasty.

"Father-in-law, I wonder how much you know about the current situation in the country?" Zhou Zhong asked helplessly, if he wanted to explain the reason for Ashikaga Kazuki and their arrival, Zhou Zhong had to let Wang Lun understand the current situation in the Wa Kingdom.

"This ......" Wang Lun was also a little embarrassed when he heard this question, but then he said a little indifferently, "The Japanese country is just a small overseas country, and the Japanese rebellion at the beginning of the founding of the country made His Majesty Taizu very angry, scolding it as a small country of beasts, if it weren't for the kindness of His Majesty Taizu, I'm afraid that he would have sent troops to destroy this small country long ago!" ”

Hearing Wang Lun's words, Zhou Chong couldn't cry or laugh, if Zhu Yuanzhang, who was murderous, could also be called merciful, the current Emperor Zhengde could simply be called a generation of Ming Jun. And at the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang was angry because of the arrogance and rudeness of the envoys of the Japanese State, and the reason why he did not send troops to attack the Japanese State was because he took a breath and did not send troops to attack the Japanese State, firstly, considering that the Japanese State was far overseas, and the cost of sending troops to attack was too great, and in addition, the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty were not extinguished at that time, and he came to the Central Plains from time to time to harass them, so Zhu Yuanzhang's energy was all focused on consolidating domestic power and eliminating the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty, and he had no spare strength to attack Japan again, so he could only curse a few words on his lips to relieve his hatred.

Seeing that Wang Lun really didn't know anything about the current situation of the Wa State as he guessed, he had to talk about the political situation of the Wa State that he had summarized these days. Although Wang Lun had a mentality of the Heavenly Empire and didn't care much about some small countries overseas, he knew that Zhou Dao would definitely not talk to him about this for no reason, so he also listened very carefully.

After talking about the political situation of the Wa Kingdom, Zhou Zhong talked about the relationship between Ashikaga Kazuki and the shogun, as well as the relationship between himself and Ashikaga Kazuki, and only then did he speak: "Father-in-law, Ashikaga Kazuki hopes that with the help of my strength, the envoys of the Ashikaga family can meet His Majesty the Emperor, I don't know what you think about this matter?" ”

I saw Wang Lun stroking his beard and going through the situation of the Wa Kingdom in his heart, and then thinking about the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, and then sighed and said: "Wenda, you shouldn't have promised that Ashikaga Kazuki in this matter, because according to my analysis, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to meddle in the political affairs of the Wa Kingdom, even if you can convince the current saint, but this kind of national major event is not good to rely on the consent of His Majesty, and it is necessary for several cabinet elders to agree, but with my understanding of several cabinet elders, They will never agree to use the power of the Ming Dynasty to meddle in the affairs of the Ming Dynasty, after all, for the Ming Dynasty, no matter who is in power in the Ming Kingdom, it will not have much impact on the Ming Dynasty! ”

Hearing Wang Lun's analysis, Zhou Zhongzhong couldn't help but sigh, in fact, for this situation, he had already thought that the Ming Dynasty seemed to be powerful now, but the domestic natural and man-made disasters continued, and civil unrest would break out from time to time, and the Tatars and Tile Thorns in the north also invaded south from time to time.

Speaking of Ashikaga Kazuki, whether they can convince Emperor Shotoku this time, according to the previous agreement, the Ashikaga Chamber of Commerce will withdraw from Shuangyu Port, and after the establishment of the Haimeng, the entire Shuangyu Port will be Zhouzhong's world, so on the surface, the success or failure of Ashikaga Kazuki and others will not have much impact on Zhouzhong.

However, Zhou Zhong values not only the interests of Shuangyu Port, his vision is more long-term, and he even hopes to use Ashikaga Kazuki and others to control the political situation of the Wa Kingdom, but if he wants to do this, he must persuade Emperor Shotoku to support the Ashikaga family in name, and then he can justifiably lay out the layout of the Wa Kingdom!
