After listening to Zhengde's words, Yasan, the fire man next to him, also looked at Zhu Houxi expectantly, how much he could earn by envoying Daming this time, he had to count on the little imperial brother in front of him.

As long as Zhu Houxi said that according to the practice of the past, the mission of the fire man Yasan can also make a lot of money and return to the Franc Machine, and Pires will definitely thank him at that time, and he will become the hero of the Franc Machine.

What is the reward?

How could Zhu Houzhao throw this kind of problem to himself.

If you say that you don't reward anything, won't it seem unkind?

Zhu Houxi thought for a while, Zhengde smiled without saying a word or urging, only the fire man Yasan was so excited that he couldn't control himself, and the greedy look on his face gradually emerged.

Zhu Houxi tentatively asked Zhengde: "Big brother, the younger brother still has two jars of pickles in the fief, why don't you take them as a return gift?" ”

Zhengde was amused and laughed, touched Zhu Houxi's forehead dotingly, and said, "Okay, according to what the imperial brother said, this time I will return the gift of two jars of pickles." ”

The face of the fire man Yasan looked very ugly, he never expected that the envoy who was supposed to return with a full load was waiting for two jars of pickles.

The fire man Yasan smiled awkwardly: "The Ming Dynasty is a big country in the Celestial Empire, and the land is vast and the land is vast, how can it be possible to only return two jars of pickles, such a practice is not a great country, so His Royal Highness the emperor should not make a fool of it." ”

Zhu Houxi frowned slightly, squinted at the fire man Yasan and said: "Who is playing tricks on you, this son doesn't have that idleness, do you know what it means to be a joke, my eldest brother said two jars of pickles, just two jars of pickles, and there is no more than one jar." ”

The fire man Yasan's heart has begun to roar, where is the problem of a few jars of pickles, what is the difference between one more jar and one less jar, he came to Daming with a mission and tribute, but he didn't want those jars of pickles, this time in order to get more benefits, they paid a lot of money on the tribute, even if he gave him a hundred jars of pickles, it was impossible to return the cost.

Although he was angry in his heart, the face of the fire man Yasan was still humble, and he said in a low voice: "Yes, yes, you have no jokes, you understand this, but I just brought two jars of pickles back, and I really don't know how to explain to my king." ”

Before Zhengde could speak, Zhu Houxi preemptively said: "Explain? Explain what? Your royal city that has been beaten by the Franco-Rang people is almost gone, and your king still has the heart to ask you to explain? Go back and tell you the king that these two jars of pickled vegetables are the reward of the Ming Dynasty, and if he dares to be meaningful, the son of this world will lead the Ming navy to Manraka. ”

The fire man Yasan was so frightened that he almost broke his heart, he never thought that the intelligence information of the Ming Dynasty was so well-informed, and he even knew about their capture of the royal city of Manraka.

The current fire man Yasan no longer dares to ask for a return gift, if he really lets His Royal Highness Zhu Houxi, the emperor's younger brother, lead his troops to the Manraka Kingdom, then their plan to colonize Malacca will be completely ruined.

It has been nearly a year since the fire Yasan came to Daming, and he knows Zhengde's temper very well, a typical war maniac likes to fight, Zhu Houxi, as the emperor's younger brother of Zhengde, according to what he just said, was also labeled with the same label by the fire Yasan.

"No...... No need to explain. The frightened Fire Warrior replied with a stammer.

Zhu Houxi's originally angry little face immediately regained its composure, and then stood on tiptoe with a smile, patted the fire man Yasan on the shoulder with his small hand, and said with a smile: "That's right, pay tribute once in the next three years, otherwise this son will lead troops to Manraka to visit your king, understand?" ”

The Fire Warrior Yasan said respectfully: "I understand below, and I will definitely go back to tell my king." ”

Zhu Houxi turned his head and pretended to be innocent again, and said to Zhengde: "Big brother, the matter is settled." ”

Zhengde waved his hand at the fire man Yasan and said, "You stand down first." ”

Waiting for the fire man Yasan to turn around and run away with relief, Zhengde said: "The appearance of the imperial brother just now is not like a child. ”

Lying down, over-the-top, Zhu Houzhao became suspicious.

What to do? What to do?

Zhu Houxi pretended to be embarrassed and smiled: "The younger brother is not a child in the first place, and next year the younger brother will be in the year of binding his hair, and he will still be able to inherit the title of King Xing." ”

The corners of Zhengde's mouth turned up slightly, as if he had discovered something interesting.

"I'm referring to your attitude toward Yasan the Fire just now."

Zhu Houxi said flatteringly: "The eldest brother is powerful in Kyushu and the four seas, and the four sides pay tribute to congratulate, and the younger brother, as the royal brother of the eldest brother, must not lose the face of the eldest brother, not to mention that with the eldest brother's Long Wei by his side, the younger brother naturally has the confidence to face the envoys of Fanbang." ”

However, although Emperor Zhengde was stubborn, he was not stupid, otherwise why did he have outstanding achievements in military affairs and was called Ming Wuzong by later generations.

Zhengde pretended to be angry and asked Zhu Houxi: "Don't pretend to be stupid, how did you know about the capture of the Manraka Kingdom by the Francophone?" ”

How do you know? I said that I had read "History of the Ming Dynasty", do you believe it?

Zhu Houxi admitted that he was indeed a little carried away, and many things were not good things for him to say in this era of underdeveloped news, but it would bring disaster to himself.

Zhu Houxi, who quickly adjusted his mentality, said unhurriedly: "Big brother, these things were told to his brother by Jiang Bin that day, and my brother didn't care about it before. ”

Now when Zhu Houyu is lying, he has long cultivated to the realm of not being red and not panting, and at this moment, Comrade Jiang Bin, who was demoted to the small banner of Jinyi Wei, was directly pulled by Zhu Houxi to take the blame.

Zhu Houxi's answer barely passed, and Zhengde, who pretended to be angry, quickly returned to normal.

The fire man Yasan was indeed recommended by Jiang Bin to Zhengde, if it is said that Jiang Bin, who was demoted, knew something and did not inform Zhengde, it is logically reasonable.

As the emperor, Zhengde will not deliberately call Jiang Bin to check whether Zhu Houyu is lying for this little thing, after all, Zhu Houyu is his imperial brother, and Jiang Bin is just a former favorite minister, even if the answers of the two people are inconsistent, Emperor Zhengde will believe Zhu Houyi in his heart.

Zhengde said with a serious attitude: "Remember, if there is such a major event in the future, you must not deceive and not report it. ”

Zhu Houxi explained humbly: "The younger brother really forgot about it for a while. ”

Zhengde didn't dwell on Zhu Houxi's mistakes, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to open your eyes after lunch." ”

Zhu Houxi nodded like pounding garlic, and then followed Zhengde's pace, Wei Bin followed behind the two brothers to cover his mouth and snicker.

Originally, Zhu Houxi thought that Zhengde was going to take him to see foreigners, but after he had lunch with Zhengde and came to the destination of this trip, he knew what Zhengde was going to show him.

Zhu Houzhao, are you fucking sick?

If you want to kill yourself, just say it, there's no need to go to such great lengths to bring yourself to the leopard room.

Zhu Houxi felt that Zhengde was a madman, the kind with absolutely sick brains, if the conditions didn't allow it, he must find a way to send Zhengde to a mental hospital for examination to see if there was a hole in his brain.
