Chapter 146: A Good Port in the Open Sea
Zhu Qizhen enthusiastically left the two Champa envoys behind, and arranged for the imperial dining room to greet a table of dishes.
These two people have helped a lot, if it weren't for that, how could those civil servants and Qingliu be willing to give up easily.
"Don't be polite, I'm a state of etiquette, as the saying goes, guests come with good wine, the enemy comes with swords, Zhancheng has been loyal to Daming over the years, and I will never ignore your affairs!"
Mahagui and Xuanzhen looked at each other, why did they feel that the emperor had something to say?
Looking at the restrained appearance of the two, Zhu Qizhen still greeted enthusiastically: "Come, move quickly, hmm...... You should be able to use fast shots, right? ”
Xuanzhen whispered something in Mahagui's ear, only to see Mahagui pick up the fast child, and then muttered something.
Immediately afterwards, Xuan Zhen translated: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness Mahagui said......"
Zhu Qizhen suddenly raised his hand and interrupted him.
"In my Ming Dynasty, there is a law called the sin of deception, do you know what it means?"
Xuan Zhen's face changed suddenly, and he was about to translate in Mahagui's ear, but he heard Zhu Qizhen continue: "Don't translate, I'm talking about you!" ”
The scene was suddenly a little embarrassing, and Mahagui was a little confused, so he began to mumble again, as if asking Hyun Zhen what had happened.
Hyun Jin didn't answer, just got up from the seat, and then slowly knelt down.
"The road from the occupied city to Daming is long, the sea bandits are rampant, and there are Annan chasing soldiers on the way, the little woman has to pretend to be a man, not intentionally to deceive the emperor, and ask the emperor for forgiveness."
As she spoke, she removed her headscarf, revealing her true face.
Mahagui already understood what was happening, and hurriedly knelt down to the side, muttering something to the side.
Zhu Qizhen couldn't understand the Champong language, so he ignored him, but continued to ask, "Is that all?" ”
"If you really can't hide everything from the emperor's eyes!"
I saw Xuanzhen smile bitterly and said, "Princess Xuanzhen of Zhancheng, meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
It turns out that among these two people, Hyun Zhen is the main one.
Although Mahagui is also a royal family, he already belongs to the royal family, and his identity is naturally not as good as Xuanzhen.
Jinyiwei has set up a large number of spies in Quanzhou and Fuzhou, and these two people have been under Jinyiwei's surveillance since they landed.
The two of them didn't know that they were actually secretly escorted by Jinyi Guards along the way, and if it weren't for that, it was difficult to say whether they would be able to reach Jingshi smoothly.
After all, Annan also has secret agents in Daming, and it is not difficult to intercept and kill the two along the way.
Zhu Qizhen saw that the other party was willing to confess, and he did not pursue any crime of bullying the king.
"Since you can be honest with each other, I am not a stingy person, okay, get up!"
Xuanzhen kowtowed in thanks, and then slowly stood up, and when Mahagui saw this, he also stood up.
Zhu Qizhen said with a smile: "I know your difficulties, but you remember that if you dare to play tricks in front of me, you will regret it!" ”
Xuan Zhen hurriedly replied: "The little girl is guilty!" ”
The dinner continued, but the atmosphere became strange.
The two of them, who were already more restrained, didn't dare to come out.
Zhu Qizhen took a bite of the dish and quipped: "What's the matter, can't you get used to my Daming's food?" ”
Mahagui didn't understand Chinese, and stared straight at Hyun Jin, waiting for her to translate.
Xuan Zhen replied directly: "The emperor said that he laughed, the Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, and even the food is much more delicious than that of Zhancheng, but it is ...... The courtiers were worried about their father's safety and had no appetite, so they asked the emperor to be considerate. ”
"I said, Da Ming will not sit idly by and ignore your business!"
"But Father, he ...... He ......"
As she spoke, Princess Xuanzhen's tears fell.
Zhu Qizhen said helplessly: "Didn't you see it all just now, I have already ordered the cabinet to draw up the decree, and next, the king of Jing'an County will personally go to Annan with the holy decree, if they don't listen, I will send troops south and arrest their king!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty...... The little woman had nothing to repay, only ...... Only ......"
Princess Xuanzhen was crying, but Mahagui looked confused, not knowing what the two were talking about, holding the fast child in the air, wanting to pick up the vegetables but not daring to move.
Zhu Qizhen put the fast son on the table and said: "Don't say thank you again, I will take care of your affairs, but I can't toss in vain, when you repel foreign enemies, you also have to promise me one thing." ”
Princess Xuanzhen hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please speak!" ”
"I am already preparing to restart the Western Ocean, you occupy the city and occupy the best location, I want a port for the supply of the voyage fleet!"
Princess Xuanzhen was stunned for a moment, and whispered a few words in Mahagui's ear, and Mahagui hurriedly nodded after listening.
"I don't know which port the emperor wants?"
Zhu Qizhen smiled slightly and spit out three words: "Saigon Port!" ”
Sai Kung Port is located in the northeast of the Mekong Delta, downstream of the Saigon River, a tributary of the Dong Nai River.
"The Great Age of Genes"
The area of Champa is located in the South Seas, and he knew the importance of Saigon Port at that time, and when he heard the other party's request, he immediately showed hesitation.
The two discussed again with each other, and then, Princess Xuanzhen said: "The stakes are very high, can the emperor allow me to discuss with the ministers after returning to China?" ”
Zhu Qizhen's face suddenly changed, and he said dissatisfiedly: "You can go and discuss, and then inform Yu Zhen after discussing the results!" ”
Princess Xuanzhen asked cautiously, "Then ...... Thank you, Your Majesty! ”
Zhu Qizhen said disapprovingly: "It is not a trivial matter to mediate the contradiction between Annan and Zhancheng, and I also need to convene the ministers to discuss it carefully, don't you say?" ”
"The Emperor's ......"
Princess Xuanzhen was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly said, "...... you just promised"
"I didn't say I wouldn't go!"
Zhu Qizhen sneered: "It's just that when to go, you need to think carefully before making a decision!" ”
Just kidding, your country is about to be destroyed, and you can't bear a port?
You can't let my Ming soldiers and horses toss in vain!
Mahagui looked at Princess Xuanzhen suspiciously, as if asking, what is the situation?
Princess Xuanzhen frowned, thought for a while, and finally made up her mind.
"Saigon Port can be given to Daming!"
"You talk counts?"
"Count!"
"Don't go back and discuss?"
"No need!"
It was only at this time that she figured out that she was asking for something at the moment, and if those ministers objected, wouldn't her father never come back?
If the city is destroyed, those ministers only need to change their names and continue to enjoy the benefits of high-ranking officials, but the fate of the Champa royal family can only end here.
At that time, all the royal bloodlines will be hunted down, and this family will completely disappear from the world.
"Good!"
Zhu Qizhen finally smiled with satisfaction, waved his hand, and said, "Jin Ying, go and call a Hanlin to come over and draft a treaty!" ”
