Zhu Di watched Zhu Chen ride the little mare farther and farther, and grinned: "Stinky boy, good job!" ”

The speed of the little mare made Zhu Di look out of reach.

It seems that this is a hidden dark horse.

It's gone, but his grandson can tame it, which shows the strength of his grandson.

Moreover, this boy is riding on a horse, although he does not know how to control the direction, but he is already stable and does not fall off the horse.

Zhu Di looked at it and raised a smile on his face: "Hehe, your eldest brother is very talented, and he is a good material for horseback riding." ”

"I learned it three times, I think you used it for a day."

He said this to his grandson.

The old man said casually, but it made Zhu Zhanyan's face red, looking at Zhu Chen's soaring figure, his heart exploded with jealousy.

Why did his father not be able to subdue the horse, he was subdued, obediently listen to him.

Grandpa is saying that he is not as good as him.

Zhu Zhanyan took a deep breath and nodded with a smile: "Yes, the eldest brother is really talented, wise and martial. ”

About half an hour, Zhu Chen rode the little mare and had already come back from a lap.

Although you can't fully control it yet, you won't fall off either.

Zhu Zhanyan smiled and arched his hand: "Big brother, Xiang Yu is really alive, this horse is at your feet, how docile." ”

Zhu Di smiled: "Stinky boy, how do you feel?" ”

Zhu Chen grinned: "Very good, this horse is so fast." ”

Zhu Di bowed his head: "You kid is lucky, you have found a treasure." ”

Zhu Chen glanced at the horse shed that was knocked down: "Old man, this ......"

"It's okay, I'll just tell the emperor." Zhu Di said.

Zhu Zhanyan led the horse and said with a smile: "The little brother should really feel guilty when he sees the eldest brother so talented, why don't we have a race in the suburban racecourse three days later and have a competition between men?" ”

Zhu Chen smiled: "My own brother, what is the comparison, you won." ”

Zhu Chen directly admitted defeat.

This big brother's bearing has been done enough, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Chen so steady, and he appreciated it even more in his heart.

However, he also intends to make the two grandchildren compare with each other to see who is stronger.

Zhu Di instructed: "Since he has spoken, you can compete with him, you go back and practice hard in the past three days, and I will see your results in three days." ”

Three days, Zhu Di is looking forward to how far Taisun can use equestrianism after three days.

After all, on the battlefield, mounted archery is important.

Since the old man said so, Zhu Chen nodded and said, "Okay, you can come to me then, I'm in Zhu's Mansion on West Street." ”

Zhu Zhanyan smiled: "Okay." ”

With Zhu Zhan Yan here, the old man's mood of wanting to teach Zhu Chen more seemed to be ruined, and after talking to Zhu Chen, the old man took off his armor and left first.

Zhu Zhanyan and Zhu Chen also walked out of the racecourse side by side.

Zhu Chen led the little mare and wanted to go home.

Zhu Zhanyan shouted to him and said with a smile: "Big brother, don't lose in my hands in three days, then I will look down on you." ”

Zhu Chen sneered in his heart, but said with a smile on his lips: "Okay, when the time comes, the junior brother will teach more." ”

Let's leave.

……

In the eleventh year of Yongle, September 15, the emperor's birthday.

Several envoys were brought into the Yongle Palace, where the emperor held a feast and feasted the ministers and foreign envoys to enjoy the food together.

At this meal, the envoys of the Li Dynasty ate with sincere fear.

Because Zhu Di deliberately named him by name and told him: "I have an old relationship with your Taizong, he is a good king, go back and tell him that if there is a chance in the future, I will personally go to the Li Dynasty to play and see your country." ”

What else could Jin Yuanji say, he could only nod again and again: "The Li Dynasty must welcome Emperor Yongle together!" ”

Zhu Di's words are a warning, don't make small moves.

Otherwise, I would have gone to your Li Dynasty that day and it would not have been good to see anything.

In Dongying, Ryukyu, Java and other countries, this meal was also beaten, but the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty was done very well and there was no slack.

This night, I ate for more than an hour before it ended.

By the time the envoys of various countries came out of the palace, it was already night.

The other envoys returned to the palace, but Jin Yuanji, who instructed the subordinate officials below to carry a box of things and went to Zhu's Mansion on West Street.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door of the Zhu Mansion.

"Is the Ming envoy here?"

"I'm Jin Yuanji, and the Li Dynasty envoys are leaving tomorrow, so I'll visit overnight tonight, please forgive me."

The door was opened, and Jin Yuanji hurriedly ordered his subordinates to carry the box and walked into the Zhu Mansion compound.

Seeing Zhu Chen, Jin Yuanji hurriedly saluted: "Little general, Li Chao has no acquaintances in Daming, let alone anything to do with it, but you and I are more familiar." ”

"Please also tell the emperor for me that the Li Dynasty is loyal and has no two hearts!"

"This is a box of money, I didn't bring much on the road, and I ask the little general to forgive me."

After that, Jin Yuanji hurriedly ordered someone to open the box.

The box was opened, and it was suddenly full of jewels, and it was full of all kinds of gold and silver.

Zhu Chen was amazed, this Li Dynasty has really developed well in recent years, and he can still bribe himself with so many treasures.

This big box is worth at least two thousand taels, right?

Li Chao is really generous enough, and Linzhou has to bribe himself a wave.

Zhu Chen had a little more smile on his face, after all, who didn't like it recently.

"Lord Jin is really generous, then I will accept these things."

"Don't worry, the emperor is there, I will definitely say a lot of good things for Li Chao."

Zhu Chen laughed and patted Jin Yuanji's shoulder.

Jin Yuanji was relieved, and after a few words of greeting from Zhu Chen, he left.

Zhu Chen sent him out of the door, looked at the box of treasures, and sneered: "Just these treasures and bribes are enough?" ”

"Emperor Yongle promised to give you the ten virgin Jurchen lands in Liaodong, and sooner or later I will let you get them back."

"It was given to Daming by the ancestors, how can it be occupied by you."

Zhu Chen instructed Cuihua Qiuxiang to put away the box before going back to rest.

As for sending the envoy away tomorrow, those officials will do it for him, and he will not worry about it.

……

The next day.

The envoys were sent out of Yingtian, and Zhu Chen was still asleep at home.

It just so happened that Natsuhara Yoshishi came to visit early in the morning.

He came to thank Zhu Chen.

So when he saw Zhu Chen, Xia Yuanji smiled: "Little brother, your trick has completely solved the urgent need for the household." ”

"No thanks, yes." Zhu Chen said with a smile.

These are the little things.

Xia Yuanji's face was solemn, and he said solemnly: "No, you helped our household, then I have to thank you." ”

"Little brother, you stand up and accept my worship."

Zhu Chen hurriedly shook his head: "No need, Lord Xia, you are loyal to the country and worthy of admiration." ”

Xia Yuanji said solemnly: "Please also ask the little brother to stand up, this bow is wanted, I thank you." ”

Xia Yuanji has always insisted, but Zhu Chen had no choice but to stand and bow to him.

Xia Yuanji arched his hand, bent down slightly, and solemnly saluted Zhu Chen.

After making a salute, Zhu Chen wanted to support him.

Xia Yuanji's face was solemn, and he shook his head and said, "Little brother, there is still a courtesy, you have to accept it!" ”

Zhu Chen was surprised: "What ceremony?" ”

"Find a horse source for the Ming Dynasty, so that the Li Dynasty will pay tribute to military horses and stallions year after year!"

After saying that, Xia Yuanji was solemn and gave Zhu Chen a deep salute.

This time, Xia Yuanji's back was bent directly to the bottom, and he saluted Zhu Chen at ninety degrees.
