Yan Rongling pondered for a moment, raised his head and said: "Father, although he is coming from all directions to congratulate him now, his sons still feel that if they are not of my race, their hearts will be different. ”

Emperor Hong Zheng moved his hands and feet, sat back on the dragon chair, and looked at Yan Rongling with blazing eyes.

"Go on."

"Now on the Emperor's Birthday Day, the surrounding countries have sent envoys to congratulate each other. This is both surrender and temptation, and I want to personally come to explore my Da Zhou's reality and wait for the next step to decide my attitude towards my Da Zhou. ”

Emperor Hong Zheng's expression was calm, he couldn't see his joy or anger, and said lightly: "Say everything you think." ”

In fact, Yan Shaoxun had also mentioned the need to guard against foreigners before, which made Emperor Hong Zheng greatly appreciated. It's just that Yan Shaoxun, in order to shine at the birthday banquet, just stopped at the point and did not elaborate.

Now the son he values the most is so far-sighted, how can he not make Emperor Hong Zheng happy.

Yan Rongling couldn't see his father's thoughts, and only said everything in his heart.

"Father, my Great Zhou is a vast area, a vast land, surrounded by seven countries or tribes. On weekdays, I see that the Great Zhou soldiers are strong and strong, and there is only a little friction, but once the Great Zhou is in civil strife or the national strength is insufficient, the wolves will definitely rise up and devour. ”

Emperor Hong Zheng nodded slightly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Yan Rongling is prepared for danger in times of peace, which already shows that he has a long-term vision and has the vision and mind of a prince.

"Father, now that Yanmen Pass is the same as Yumen Pass, we must not relax for a while, even outside Shanhaiguan, the Jurchens also sneak attack from time to time. In the territory of my Great Zhou, every inch of land will be contested, and those who commit my Great Zhou will be punished even if they are far away! ”

Yan Rongling said so loudly and loudly that even the princes who were waiting next to him felt their blood boiling, not to mention Emperor Hong Zheng.

"Good, good, good!"

Emperor Hong Zheng said three good words in succession, and the appreciation in his heart was beyond words. On weekdays, he was strict with Yan Rongling, but now he really didn't let himself down.

However, Emperor Hong Zheng still has to take a detailed examination.

"Then based on these five countries, how will you respond? After thinking about it, I want to listen to practical solutions! ”

Yan Rongling said respectfully: "Yes, Father." The ministers spoke freely, and asked their father to correct what they said badly, and if they were arrogant, they also asked their father to forgive them. ”

"Well, I'll allow you to speak your mind."

Emperor Hong Zheng looked at Yan Rongling expectantly, this was his only bloodline after he married Yuan, and he was also his eldest son.

Over the years, Emperor Hong Zheng has high hopes for him, but he can't pay too much attention to him. He knew the Queen Mother's care and the thoughts of the Yang family, but if it weren't for his own private care, Yan Rongling would not have been able to grow up safely and healthily.

Thinking of this, Emperor Hong Zheng's suspicion of Empress Jiang faded a little.

Although Empress Jiang was a little cautious, the means were not enough, and the harem still had the queen mother.

It doesn't hurt to be petted, there is still Xiao Jiu.

Yan Rongling had already roughly sorted out his thoughts, and said: "Father, the son doesn't know much about the envoys, and I happened to meet three of them today, so let's start with these three." ”

"Well, you say."

"The Mongolian people have no fixed place to live, and they live in places where water and grass are fertile. Like Hui and Jurchen, they are all tribes that can fight well, and they all envy the richness of my Great Zhou, so they are waiting for the opportunity and should not be underestimated. ”

"Today, the retainer has seen Hershemin, he is more powerful, brave and aggressive, and he is not good in strategy, but he is a tiger general on the battlefield. I will pay close attention to the situation in Mongolia and pay attention to their expansion of territory. ”

Emperor Hong Zheng nodded, according to secret reports, the Jurchens have fought again and again over the years, and the tribe has not been as good as before.

The Mongols were ready to move, and they had the idea of capturing the Jurchens. If the Mongols annexed the Jurchens, it would be even more powerful, and it would be rare to find peace outside the Shanhai Pass.

Yan Rongling saw that Emperor Hong Zheng didn't say anything, and continued: "As for Florida, he is far away from us, separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. Erchen thought that it was most appropriate to reconcile with them from afar and close to attack. ”

"As for Princess Delis, the courtiers see her as straightforward, but she must be more expensive, and she is not a fuel-efficient lamp. It's just that I don't know if she came this time for fun or for another purpose. ”

Emperor Hong Zheng nodded and explained: "Florida has officially submitted its credentials and is willing to conduct business and trade with us. Sell porcelain, silk, and tea from the Great Zhou Dynasty to Florida, and they will send clocks, precious stones, and rare spices. ”

Yan Rongling suddenly realized that in the past, if Florida wanted these things, it could only rely on fishermen to sell them secretly. Now it is possible to formally form caravans and communicate with each other.

Emperor Hong Zheng said with Yan Yuese: "It's a good thing to communicate with each other, we also have to understand the situation outside, and we can't sit in the well and watch the sky." ”

"Father is wise!"

"Okay, don't be a sycophant, I don't eat this set, and Fusang, let's talk about it."

Yan Rongling was a little disgusted with Fusang, so naturally when he spoke, he was particularly disdainful: "Father, this Fusang is clearly still a wild place, without any shame, and its behavior is vulgar and rude, it is really difficult to get into the hall of elegance." ”

"Because of the borrowed seeds?"

"Yes, Father. This made Erchen feel difficult to talk about and difficult to accept. ”

Emperor Hong Zheng also despised such behavior, but he still smiled on his face: "Since they are wild places, then educate them." What are your thoughts on the return to Magadha? ”

"Returning to my father, the return is similar to Mongolia, and Mogata is similar to Florida. The details must be seen by the envoys, and the sons and daughters can know. ”

Yan Rongling's answer, Emperor Hong Zheng was very satisfied, and talked to him for a while, and then let him go back to the palace.

Not long after Yan Qihuo knelt here, a little eunuch passed the word, and as soon as he got up and felt that he had escaped punishment, he was invited to Kunning Palace by Aunt Yao Qi, who came from Wen Xun.

Empress Jiang sat elegantly on the phoenix seat, and her originally anxious demeanor turned into indifference when she saw Yan Qihuo coming in.

"Mother, my son is back."

"What are you going to do when you come back, you dare to sneak out of the palace without bringing anyone, and you still need to come back?"

Seeing that the queen mother was angry, Yan Qihuo was not afraid, and leaned over with a salivating face: "Queen mother, didn't I come back?" My father didn't punish me, so you still want to be angry? ”

Empress Jiang pointed her finger and pushed it on Yan Qihuo's forehead, and said dissatisfiedly: "Of course this palace is angry!" You don't study hard, follow Gu Mingzhu and them out of the palace. That's right, the girl from the Zhong family is also there, say! Who the hell are you chasing? ”

As soon as he mentioned this, Yan Qihuo was very depressed, sat down, slumped on the chair and stretched his legs.

"Queen Mother, can't I go out and play by myself?"

Empress Jiang didn't believe it, waved away the palace people, hated iron and said: "Do you really like that girl of the Zhong family?" ”

Yan Qi changed his posture uncomfortably, and denied: "How is it possible! ”

Knowing the son Mo Ruomu, looking at Yan Qihuo's expression, where does Queen Jiang not know?

Anxious and angry, he couldn't control his scolding for a while: "Are you blind? Zhong Taojiao has no talent, she looks average, only brute force, what do you like about her? ”
