Pei Boqi's tears rained down, "Who knows, not long ago, the minister heard that Hu Jichen somehow learned the news, and actually sent someone to intercept the prince and kill the prince on the way." ”

This is also the reason why the envoys of Annan did not catch up with Zhu Di's birthday in the end. Because the envoys heard that this prince named Chen Tianping actually escaped the pursuit, they are all Hu Jichen's people, how can they not be in a hurry, in case Chen Tianping enters the capital and is known by the Ming Emperor, who can withstand the wrath of Shangbang?

"Your Majesty, my king has been wronged!" Among Annan's envoys, except for Pei Boqi, the others were Hu Jichen's cronies.

If it weren't for the youngest son's consideration of Annan, Zhu Di would naturally want to get to the bottom of this matter and uphold justice as the suzerain, but right now, he is worried about Annan's namelessness!

"My birthday was yesterday, you Annan didn't take me seriously, let alone the birthday gift, I haven't even seen the congratulatory watch, this is disrespectful; Second, disrespectful, without my permission, you privately support the king and stand on his own, and I ask you, where is the current king Hu Jichen from a chaotic minister and thief? ”

Pei Boqi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and he turned to reprimand the envoys who came with him, "You know that the current king is a usurper and a thief, but you are a tiger and are not worthy of being a minister!" ”

One by one, the envoys bowed their heads and were silent, ashamed.

Zhu Di deliberately trembled with anger, and pointed to Annan's envoy and said, "Okay, good, since the king doesn't respect me and doesn't take me in his eyes, I have to use troops against Annan, so that you can know what a righteous army is and what it means to hang the people and fight crimes!" ”

Pei Boqi didn't know what Zhu Di meant, he was grateful, lay on the ground, and cried, "The emperor is the emperor of the state, and if such chaotic ministers and thieves are not punished, they will bring disaster to the country of the Ming Dynasty in the future!" ”

Annan's envoys trembled with fear, and one of them dared to say, "Your Majesty, Annan's Chen clan is dead, and now Annan's kingdom is under the leadership of the king......

"Shut up!" Zhu Gaoxian scolded, "Just Annan, a place with a big palm, you dare to use the four seas to level up?" I don't know what to do! ”

At this moment, a map appeared in Zhu Gaoxian's mind, Annam is the north of Vietnam, the south is Champang, together on the map is as long and narrow as a crooked and lying caterpillar, the northwest is Laos, the southwest is Cambodia, one step across the border between Thailand and Malaysia, along the Malaysia to Singapore.

To the south, Singapore is Indonesia, a small island scattered and bordering Australia in the south.

If you knock down this area, will you be able to open up a short route? Zhu Gaoxian thought of this, and shook his head again, there are too many small islands in Indonesia, and there are scattered ones, and that section can't be passed.

At the court meeting the next day, Zhu Di ordered to bring Yang Bo and the envoys of Annan, except for Pei Boqi, the rest were tied up, and when they saw these people, except for Jingqing and Zhang Yu's father and son, the rest were a little confused.

Zhu Di sat on the dragon chair, cleared his throat, and said, "Yang Bo, the Ministry of Rites asked you to go to Annan to find out the situation, you said that now Hu Jichen, the king of Annan, was recommended by his subjects to take the throne, is this true?" ”

Yang Bo knew these Annan envoys, but at this time, he didn't know that the matter had been revealed, and he didn't dare to say a word.

Pei Boqi glared at Yang Bo fiercely, resisted the urge to expose Yang Bo's bribery and lying, and knelt on the ground and pleaded, "On behalf of me, the people of Annan, I ask His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to send a righteous teacher to punish the rebellious ministers and thieves in Annan, and to uphold the righteousness of heaven and earth!" ”

Zhu Di looked around at the ministers and asked, "What do you ministers say?" ”

The conquest of a country is a major event, although Zhu Di has made up his mind to do this, but he cannot but give the ministers the opportunity to express their opinions, which is a manifestation of mutual respect and cooperation.

Xia Yuanji has long known Zhu Gaoxian's idea of fighting Annan, the importance of rubber, and now, he, who is the head of the household department, already knows that the ministry treasury is abundant, and if he fights, he can't afford to fight, and after thinking about it, if he wants to get more benefits from the four highnesses in the future, he naturally has to support the four highnesses first.

Speaking of which, with the weapons and equipment of the Yan Army in the past, how much money can it cost to fight Annan?

It's just that before he opened his mouth, some people have already begun to object, "Your Majesty, Annan is a country that was not conquered by Emperor Taizu Gao in the past, and today the emperor wants to go out to fight, but it is really a change of order, please think twice!" ”

Zhu Di's brows furrowed fiercely, but as an emperor, he couldn't allow the courtiers to speak his heart, he asked, "What about the rest of the ministers?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Annan Hu Jichen is rebellious, if the Ming Dynasty, as the suzerain, turns a blind eye to this disloyal and unrighteous behavior, how can he correct the order and erect majesty?"

Zhang Yu naturally wants to support his son, if Zhang Fu has the merit of destroying the country, the title of the Zhang family can be passed on for another generation in the future.

Moreover, the emperor and the fourth highness have already made up their minds about this matter, and it is irreversible, how could he not stand on the side of the attack?

Zhu Di is naturally very satisfied, but the ministers are definitely unwilling to start the war again, at present, the Ming Dynasty is thriving, all walks of life are booming, the ministers want to participate in the construction of the Ming Dynasty, for fear that they will be eliminated by the times if they run slowly, where can they spare time to support the war?

"Grandpa Guo, dare to ask, now that the Chen family has no descendants, someone must rule Annan, is it possible that Grandpa Chengguo can sit in Annan?" Youwen Chen mocked.

Although the other party's words were fierce, Zhang Yu did not see anger, he was extremely elegant, and arched his hand, "Lord Guo, this is a later story, we can't have to admit his succession because the king of the Chen family has no descendants, and because it is a chaotic minister and thief like Hu Jichen who is in power right now, if so, where is the three outlines and five Lun?" ”

Three Outlines and Five Lun are the concepts that the ministers attach great importance to, Guo Ren's face is red, and he can't speak for a long time.

Zhu Di stood up, took two steps forward, and said, "I have no intention of encroaching on Annan, Guo Ren's words also have a certain truth, and all the ministers should also discuss it carefully, if the chaos is rectified, Hu Jichen will naturally be punished, and what will happen to the management of Annan in the future?" I think you should also listen to Annan Pei Boqi's opinion. ”

Ranwen

Today's court meeting is equivalent to Zhu Di's conquest of Annan, which reminds the courtiers in advance, and I also want to see the reaction of these people.

After the court meeting, Zhu Di left King Ning, King Zhou, Military Aircraft Department, Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, Xia Yuanji, Ru Yu and Song Li to discuss matters.

Zhu Gaoxian had already gone to the academy, and Zhu Di led them to the world map and said, "Look here!" ”
