In the face of Zhu Di's questioning, Watanabe Village and the real messenger old man looked stunned, they had already learned before they came. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Da Ming can hardly mobilize any fleet to defend against Tang Ming's possible counterattack now, so he decided to come to Zhu Di to discuss the alliance.

The Watanabe family has good reasons and confidence, and they believe that Zhu Di will definitely form an alliance with him without delay under such a situation. After all, this is a place where there is no harm to both sides, and there is no conflict in interests, as if they are holding the same goal, that is, revenge.

But this will Zhu Di's reaction is obviously not what they imagined, not only dislike them for not being qualified enough, but also give an explanation for those small offenses before.

After Watanabe Village was stunned, he immediately sank his face and asked again unwillingly: "Does the emperor really not want to eradicate the scourge of Tang Ming and let it still develop and grow freely on Ryukyu Island?" ”

Zhu Di has obviously lost patience with Watanabe Village, a small island country is still just a small Watanabe family, even if they are now the largest family in the island country, they can represent the island country to envoy the Ming Dynasty. But after all, it was only a small force, and its own invincible army was easily defeated, even if it was in alliance with this Watanabe family at this time, it would be powerful there.

In this regard, Zhu Di has made a conclusion from the beginning, as he just said, the Watanabe family is not qualified to talk about the alliance. Or from the beginning, Watanabe Village brought up something else, even if it was because they wanted to help. Zhu Di will definitely have a different attitude.

It's a pity that Watanabe Village overestimated the status of the Watanabe family in the eyes of Emperor Ming from the beginning, and it is inevitable that he will be frustrated at this moment.

The Watanabe family alliance failed, and in the end, under the pressure of Zhu Di, he lost tens of thousands of taels of silver to make up for the mistakes he made before, so he was able to get out!

When she walked out of the palace gate, Watanabe Village's face was iron-blue, and the attitude of the Emperor Ming made her feel both angry and helpless. The dead camel is bigger than the horse, and even if the Ming Dynasty is hit again, its comprehensive strength is far more powerful than the island country at this time. In the face of this unfair treatment, she had no choice but to knock out her teeth and swallow them in her stomach, and there was no other way to do it.

When Watanabe Village was about to get into the carriage, he looked back at the majestic imperial city and instructed the old man beside him to send someone back to inform the clan of what had just happened. Now she can only wait for news from the clan, and dare not act rashly.

Not long after Watanabe Village left, Zhu Gaoxi's figure walked out of the imperial city, with a malicious smile on his face, one hand touching his chin, and his mouth kept making a hehe laugh.

Zhu Gaoxi whispered a few words with the eunuch guarding the palace gate, and after finding out where they were staying in Watanabe Village, he stuffed dozens of taels of silver into the eunuch in a good mood, and turned around and went back to his prince's mansion in laughter.

Not long after, a little eunuch in the prince's mansion hurriedly left the palace with a letter written by Zhu Gaoxi himself, and went straight to the place where the Watanabe family stayed. When the eunuch came back and told Zhu Gaoxi that Watanabe Village had agreed to his invitation, Zhu Gaoxi was in a good mood to bathe and change clothes.

was busy until near evening, when Zhu Gaoxi took more than a dozen guards and two personal eunuchs to the first floor of the world in Nanjing City.

Because the envoys from various countries came to Nanjing, Nanjing City was much more lively than usual, and the business of merchants was also making money every day. Everyone smiled from ear to ear, especially Xu Jingchang, the owner of the first floor of the world, this guy has been like a revolving day in the past two months.

Earlier, he had learned that Zhu Gaoxi was going to come here to meet guests, and he had personally arranged a private room for him, and he would wait outside the door with the shopkeeper and a group of shopkeepers.

As soon as Xu Jingchang saw Zhu Gaoxi's carriage stop at the door, he immediately squeezed out the most hypocritical smile on his face and greeted him, personally lifted the curtain for him and said with a smile: "Why did the second brother suddenly remember to have a treat today, I think this person who can get your invitation must be an extraordinary person." ”

In the face of Xu Jingchang's sycophancy, Zhu Gaoxi obviously didn't hold him, pouted and said: "Okay, Xu Jingchang, don't you have any nonsense, can you prepare the private room that this prince wants?" ”

Xu Jingchang was humiliated by Zhu Gaoxi in public, and he didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction, although his face was a little ugly for a moment just now, but he was quickly hidden by him.

It turned out that Xu Jingchang had a long time since the queen passed away, and his life was not easy. As the saying goes, people go to tea and cool, and the death of the queen, his royal relatives and relatives will soon be forgotten. From the former head of Nanjing City to today's no one to give him a good face, the rapid change is indeed touching.

In the past, Zhu Gaochi would take care of him when he was there, and others would give him some face, although life was not as good as before, but it was not the worst. But not long ago, Zhu Gaochi left, and his life can be regarded as over, even this restaurant almost can't be opened.

When Xu Jingchang was most helpless, he had to seek Zhu Gaoxi's protection, personally brought a lot of silver to show favor to him, and said that he would hand over the benefits every month. For the sake of the silver, Zhu Gaoxi reluctantly agreed, and Xu Jingchang's restaurant was able to continue to open in Nanjing.

In fact, the current Xu Jingchang is at best a dog in Zhu Gaoxi's eyes, and the former is also self-aware, so when facing his humiliation, he can handle it calmly.

The group soon came to the largest and best private room on the second floor, Zhu Gaoxi was quite satisfied after a little look, and waved Xu Jingchang to step back and stay in the room alone.

When Watanabe Village received Zhu Gaoxi's invitation, she was also hesitant to come, but she agreed out of curiosity. After all, the other party is the identity of the prince, although I don't know why he invited him to meet, but his identity is there, and Watanabe Village is not easy to refuse.

In fact, Watanabe Murako didn't know that this prince was the man who stared at her in the imperial study, so after she entered the private room, she saw that this person was the prince, and her face immediately darkened. Suddenly turned around and wanted to rush out of the door, but Zhu Gaoxi had already seen her and was immediately stopped by him.

"Does the princess of the village hate this prince so much, she didn't even want to talk about it when she came, don't you want to know why this prince invited you to come?" Zhu Gaoxi looked like he was going to eat Watanabe Village, and at this moment he was not in a hurry at all whether the woman in front of him who made him quite novel would stay. (To be continued.) )
