Chapter 365: A Letter to Tianzhu

After the fight was over, Lu Ning sighed and said to Chen Wang speechlessly.

"Lord Chen, I didn't want to do it, but I think you might understand it faster if you reason in this way, don't you say?"

One of Chen Wang's front teeth had been knocked out by Lu Ning, but Zhu Yuanzhang was indifferent when he watched from the side.

No matter how stupid he is, he can understand that Zhu Yuanzhang is towards Lu Ning, and it is in vain to try to defend himself, so he simply can't say anything.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched Lu Ning beat up this imperial history, but said with a smile.

"Chen Aiqing, I don't know if you have heard the truth of Fu Guogong and you clearly? Do you want to talk about it again. ”

Chen Wang has already been beaten by Lu Ning, his nose is blue and his face is swollen, if he talks about it again, it will basically be fatal.

He's not a fool, and he's never going to do the same thunder a second time.

Therefore, he had to bow to Zhu Yuanzhang with his heart in his heart, and then said.

"Your Majesty, these ministers have all understood what the Duke of Fuguo said, and the ministers must live up to His Majesty's expectations and live in harmony with the Duke of Fuguo."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, and said in his heart, aren't you looking for a fight by yourself, after all, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person.

After being beaten, I don't have any temper now, otherwise this beating would not have been in vain.

However, Chen Wang is the second-class member of the imperial court, and Zhu Yuanzhang can't help but defend it, so he said.

"Chen Aiqing, you don't have to worry too much, this Lu Ning is so temperamental, you can get used to it in the future, but we can't let you suffer this beating in vain, give you two hundred taels of silver and five days of vacation, go back and recuperate for a while."

When Chen Wang heard Zhu Yuanzhang say this, he was also happy, after all, this was also a blessing in disguise.

A second-grade adult's annual income is only more than 100 taels of silver, and his income is really low.

I was beaten now, but I had an extra income of two hundred taels of silver, and this beating was really worth it.

Even Chen Wang wanted Lu Ning to continue beating him up and earn another two hundred taels, using this as a way to generate income.

However, thinking so, he still couldn't say anything, Chen Wang could only kowtow and thank him, and then quickly went down to the palace.

After he left, the rest of the Liubu Jiuqing could be regarded as completely obedient, and everyone didn't dare to continue to work with Lu Ning.

You must know that this rich prince is not only the emperor's nephew, but also a person who speaks and counts above the court.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Lu Ning.

"You've finished talking about the reason, there should be something serious next, what should you do to Tianzhu?"

Lu Ning smiled indifferently, and he told Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Your Majesty, you might as well repair a letter of state to Tianzhu in the name of the Ministry of Rites, and then in this letter of state, let them ransom Prince Shagra with a large number of slaves and gold and silver, if you don't obey, this prince who offended the kingdom of heaven will not want to go back alive."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Daotong, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and asked.

"This letter of state is easy to write, but after it is written, who will go to Tianzhu to deliver this letter to the messenger, and what suitable person does the Ministry of Rites have!"

Dao Tongxin was also a little entangled, and he shouldn't have come to this meeting.

He is a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, but Shang Shu, who is the official in charge of the Ministry of Rites, is on leave due to illness, so he is temporarily on top.

I finally came to a meeting for the chief officer, but I encountered such a thorny problem.

The envoy sent to Tianzhu is likely to be killed on the spot, after all, he has detained the prince of the family, and he has to write letters to ask for a large number of slaves and money, which seems to be a bit insatiable and unreliable.

As long as King Tianzhu has some blood, it is estimated that he will not treat the envoy well, but this letter of state must be delivered by someone.

Dao Tong knew in his heart that whoever sent this letter would make the family jump into the pit, and he really couldn't bear to do it.

In desperation, he had to say to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Your Majesty, since you are going to deliver the letter of state, you need to be an official of a certain grade, and the minister, as a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, may be the most suitable for this errand, so it is better to let the minister go to Tianzhu as a special matter to deliver the letter of state."

Zhu Yuanzhang understood in his heart that this was a more benevolent and generous way for the Tao, and he didn't want to pit others in this matter, so he could only pit himself.

So, he immediately told Daotong.

"This time, we will send you as a special envoy to Tianzhu to deliver the letter of state of the Ming Dynasty, but we don't treat you as an outcast, but let you raise the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, and I will send a team of elite brocade guards and firearms battalions to accompany you."

At this time, Dao Tong suddenly found that he had confidence again.

You must know that the Jinyi Guard and the Firearms Battalion are the elite of the Ming Dynasty, and they are all controlled by the Son of Heaven himself.

And his own mission to Tianzhu is actually dangerous, with the blessing of these two troops, then he has greater confidence.

Daotong was almost moved to tears, and immediately knelt down and thanked Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Your Majesty can have such grace, the minister will never let Tianzhu underestimate our Daming, and will promote the grace of Daming in Tianzhu."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and then he asked the Ministry of Rites to draft this national letter, and continued to tell Daotong.

"After going down to the palace, you have a good chat with the Duke of Fuguo, he will tell you what to do next, and when you return from Tianzhu, we will crown you as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites."

These words made Daotong a little tearful, he knew that the Son of Heaven had the weight of nine tripods, and he would not promise easily.

Now that I have a proper letter to the Ministry of Rites, of course, this will have to wait until I come back alive.

After this meeting, Daotong came to Lu Ning's house, he saluted very solemnly, and then said.

"This time I went to Tianzhu, although I didn't have any fear in my heart, but it was still full of dangers, and I asked the prince to teach me the way of self-improvement."
