On the twenty-fourth day of the first spring of the first year of Yongle, Jingqing was arrested and imprisoned shortly after.

Zhu Di was congratulated by the Imperial Palace, and the queen also gave a banquet in the Kun Palace in the evening, and the keen people smelled a different signal.

On this day, Jiang Xinghuo, Yao Guangxiao, the Duke of Rongguo, and Zhu Gaoxu, the second prince, arrived in Nanjing.

"Mr. Jiang, there is Miyagi ahead" Zhu Gaoxu's simple voice echoed in his ears.

Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyes and looked deeply.

Seeing the towering, magnificent and magnificent buildings in front of him, shining in the sun, he couldn't help but feel a sense of serious dislocation caused by the three major halls that came from the torrent of history and memory, the dilapidated and decadent Tang Dynasty in later generations to the foundation of the foundation.

It was as if he was alone in the world, and a thousand years had passed in a flash.

"That's right."

Jiang Xinghuo's mind was like a glimpse of light, as if he remembered something, he turned his head to look at Yao Guangxiao, who still had a bald head and a ring scar, and said.

"Can you send someone to visit a cemetery in Taiyuan, Shanxi? I'll draw the exact location. In addition, there is one in Henan, but it may not be easy to discover. ”

"It's easy."

Dao Yan, who changed into a unicorn suit. Yao Guangxiao bowed slightly, and wanted to habitually turn the rosary in his hand to make him feel at ease, but he couldn't find it, maybe this is the price of re-entering the world and getting involved in the temple turmoil.

Yao Guangxiao remained silent, but a smart person like him almost instantly thought that Jiang Xinghuo was most likely looking for traces of his previous reincarnations.

After telling this, the carriage slowly drove towards the magnificent palace gate.

When you come here, except for Empress Xu, no matter what your identity is, even if it is the second prince Zhu Gaoxu or Rongguo Gongdaoyan, if you don't have the emperor's permission, you can only enter the palace on foot.

It can be seen from this that Zhu Di gave Jiang Xinghuo such an honor as "Miyagi horseback riding".

However, as soon as he returned to Beijing this time, he was directly caught in the whirlpool, Jiang Xinghuo did not plan to ride a horse alone, and it was more convenient to enter the palace with Zhu Gaoxu and Yao Guangxiao.

"Drive!"

However, the sound of horses' hooves broke the silence, and then several horses in the army were seen galloping across the Heavenly Street, crossing the Five Dragons Bridge, and heading straight for the gate of Miyagi.

"What is this?"

As soon as Jiang Xinghuo stepped out of the carriage, he saw this scene.

Zhu Gaoxu explained: "Mr. Jiang doesn't know anything, they are all messengers of Zhongyiwei to transmit military information. ”

Jiang Xinghuo raised the curtain and looked out, and sure enough, he saw that the riders on the horses were all wearing conspicuous small flags on their backs, and one of them also took out his waist card and shook it to prove his identity.

Only one messenger was allowed to ride into Miyagi, and the rest unsaddled and dismounted.

"What happened?" Zhu Gaoxu walked over and asked deeply.

Seeing that it was the second prince Zhu Gaoxu, these loyal and righteous guards who had lived and died with him during the Jing disaster hesitated for a moment, but still revealed.

"—Urgent report from Annan's side."

"I see."

also knew that the other party couldn't say too much, Zhu Gaoxu retracted his gaze, turned around and returned to Jiang Xinghuo's side to enter the palace together.

However, at this moment, a crisp and pleasant bell sound came from not far away, Jiang Xinghuo and a few people looked back, only then did they notice that it was a luxurious and luxurious sedan chair, and the sedan chair was surrounded by red silk, embroidered with a hundred birds and phoenix patterns, extremely graceful and luxurious.

Before and after the sedan chair, there are palace people holding six obstacles (moving screens to cover the sight of passers-by to noble women), and it is also made of red silk for it, painting the lifting of the phoenix cloud text, and the sound of the bell is from the long belt hanging barrier, which has the role of warning passers-by.

"Sons and daughters, see the queen mother." A flattering smile appeared on Zhu Gaoxu's face at the right time.

"Meet the Queen."

Yao Guangxiao also saluted symbolically, and the entourage around him knelt on the ground in unison.

"Excuse me." A soft woman's voice came from the sedan chair, it was Queen Xu who came back from her mother's Wei State Mansion.

There were two rows of palace ladies and guards standing next to the sedan chair, ignoring Zhu Gaoxu who came up.

"Queen Mother, the son-in-law will send you to the palace." Zhu Gaoxu looked at it and said with a smile.

Before the words fell, I heard the voice of Queen Xu in the sedan chair again: "Xu'er, you invite Mr. Jiang over, this palace has admired his name for a long time, but he has never seen it." ”

"But ......" Zhu Gaoxu hesitated, his eyes kept glancing at the sedan chair.

"Stiff wings?" The tone of the person in the sedan suddenly turned cold.

Zhu Gaoxu's face turned pale, and he hurriedly confessed: "Erchen knows his mistake, Erchen will go." ”

Jiang Xinghuo and Dao Yan could hear the conversation between the two.

After Zhu Gaoxu gave a little guidance, Jiang Xinghuo calmly bowed his hand: "Say hello to the queen." ”

"Mr. Jiang doesn't have to be polite."

Yet, yet.

According to the rules, Jiang Xinghuo can't look up at this time, the so-called "look", that is the queen's unilateral look, not the two looking at each other.

But Jiang Xinghuo doesn't know!

Jiang Xinghuo subconsciously raised his eyes, but saw that the sedan curtain in front of him was slightly lifted, and he saw a girl about eighteen or nineteen years old poking her head out of the sedan chair, obviously not Queen Xu.

The girl's skin is fair and delicate, her facial features are elegant and delicate, and the corners of her mouth are smiling, giving people a kind and gentle feeling.

She sat in the sedan chair, her skirt dancing lightly in the wind, and the black and thick green silk shawl fell, and the whole person revealed a faint softness.

"Yikes!" The voice is soft and clear.

There was silence at one point.

"Little sister is rude, Mr. Jiang is not strange."

In the end, it was Queen Xu in the sedan chair who opened her mouth.

"People who are in the mountains and wilderness, if they lose their manners, they still hope that the queen is not strange." Jiang Xinghuo hugged his fists and had a sincere attitude.

This time, it was the real Queen Xu who came forward and met Jiang Xinghuo once generously.

Empress Xu opened the sedan curtain, looked at Jiang Xinghuo meaningfully for a moment, pursed her lips and smiled, re-closed the sedan curtain, and said softly: "Those who don't know are not guilty." ”

After saying that, the sedan chariot continued to move forward, and soon disappeared into the corner of Miyagi.

In the red mountain screen of the sedan chair, a small head was exposed, and the queen Xu Miaoyun leaned on the red brocade mattress with gold carved on her back, and lazily flicked her sister's forehead.

"Satisfied?"

said to be sisters, but Xu Miaoyun is Xu Da's eldest daughter, Yuan Zhizheng was born in the twenty-second year, Xu Miaojin is the youngest daughter, Hongwu was born in the thirteenth year, Xu Da was born in the steproom, Xu Da died of illness at the age of five, and has always grown up under the care of his brothers and sisters.

Xu Miaoyun, who is twenty years older, is not like a sister to her sister Xu Miaojin, but more like a mother.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, Xu Miaojin actually had to marry at the age of eighteen at the latest, but unfortunately at the age of eighteen, Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, her second sister was arrested on behalf of the princess, and the eldest sister Yan Princess Xu Miaoyun was wanted by the emperor.

Now that King Yan has won the country, Xu Miaoyun, who has changed from Princess Yan to the queen, naturally worries about her sister's marriage, and gives a banquet to the clan girls and wives at night, on the one hand, it is to win the hearts of the ministers for Zhu Di, and on the other hand, there is also this consideration.

But now that Jiang Xinghuo has returned to Beijing, Queen Xu has a temporary idea, so she has this slightly embarrassing meeting.

"People are handsome and tight, quite a bit of the demeanor of the wind god, but unfortunately some don't know the etiquette." Xu Miaojin commented.

Empress Xu sighed: "You underestimate him too much, Mr. Jiang is not a person from the mountains, people are immortals on the side of the mountains. This is a rare figure for hundreds of years, and his ability is far better than anyone else in the world. ”

"More than my brother-in-law?"

Xu Miaojin was stunned and asked.

Empress Xu didn't want to explain more, but said, "You'll know in the future." ”

——————

"Bastard!"

"Zheng He, prepare the sea boat! I'm going to teach Annan Hu Jiyak, the old monkey, a lesson! ”

In the Fengtian Palace, Zhu Di crossed his waist and looked at Kanyutu, and said indignantly.

However, Zheng He, who was beside him, obviously saw a hint of joy in the wrinkles at the corners of Zhu Di's eyes.

The opportunity to go to war has finally come.

That is to say, a few months before Zheng He "returned to the court", the center of the Ming Dynasty vaguely sensed that something was wrong with the envoys of Annan.

After Zhu Di ended the Fengtian Jingjing and ascended to the throne, according to the traditional system of clans and vassals, the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty sent a message to the vassal states, Korea and Annam, the two land-bordering vassal states, came to the court first, and the envoys of the Chen Dynasty of Annam obviously changed a little from before, and many things were fragmented.

Annan and North Korea are both countries in the Confucian cultural circle, using Chinese, learning the Four Books and Five Classics, and taking the imperial examination.

Since there is no conclusive evidence, the Ming Dynasty is hindered by the face of the Celestial Empire, and it is not good to really arrest and torture other people's envoys.

So, Zhu Di sent people to the palace eunuchs as envoys, and went to Annan, Zhancheng and other places to announce the decree to the local rulers, in the name of this kind of open-minded and righteous Xuanmu Wanghua, to spy on intelligence.

But as soon as the envoy was halfway through, he met the Lao army escorting Chen Tianping, the "grandson of the king of Annam", to Daming.

From the mouths of these people, the messengers of the Ming Dynasty knew what had happened in Annan.

The Chen Dynasty of Annam, has been usurped by his relatives and ministers, and Hu Jiyak, who is under the Pingzhang of the same Zhongshu Sect, changed the name of the country from the original "Da Yue" to "Da Yu", and Chan is located in his son Hu Hancang, who calls himself the Emperor Taishang to control the state government.

So the envoy of the Ming Dynasty urgently sent a messenger to deliver the news to the city of Nanjing with an expedited specification of 600 miles.

And Zhu Di, who learned about Annan's situation, first thought of the "comparative advantage and the scissors difference between industry and agriculture" that Jiang Xinghuo talked about, as well as the first link in the "three-ring diplomacy".

The Red River Delta, such a rich place, is it a pity that the Ming Dynasty can't have it?

As for the other leftovers of Annan, it is good to re-support this Chen Dynasty emperor and grandson to restore the country, and the Red River Delta will be regarded as the reward of the Ming Dynasty to help him restore the country.

"Your Majesty, the national teacher, Rong Guogong, and the second prince ask to see each other."
