Chapter 623: The so-called protection
As for what else was written at the back of the letter, Chu Ze just glanced at it very quickly.
Very good.
The last part of the content is just a pat on Zhu Yuanzhang's ass again.
Chu Ze secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he didn't mention himself again in half of the letter, otherwise he would have really come in vertically and go out horizontally.
Chu Ze silently returned the letter.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, he was grabbed by Zhu Zhang.
"Father, let's take a look."
He also wanted to see what was written in the letter that could make Chu Ze change his face almost on the spot.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand in disgust, letting him feel free.
Zhu Di also leaned over.
When they saw the third part, Qi Qi raised his head and glanced at Chu Ze sympathetically and worriedly.
They finally understood why Chu Ze's face changed abruptly
Even they, their hearts have to jump to their throats.
Fortunately, the king of the Ryukyus still knows the severity, and the last paragraph also saved Chu Ze a little.
Otherwise, Chu Ze would really be in danger this time.
After reading the letter, they returned it to Zhu Yuanzhang's desk.
"Father, what this Ryukyu King said is fake at first glance." Zhu Fan was the first to speak out and accused, "The turmoil in the Ryukyus is real, but our envoys are not without the protection of their entourage, even if they restrict the envoys from entering and leaving, then there is no need to threaten them to send fake letters, right?" ”
Zhu Fan opened his mouth, he still wanted to say something, but in the end he closed his mouth.
Because he was afraid that he would accidentally say the wrong thing, in the end, not only did he fail to help Chu Ze, but he hurt Chu Ze.
Then he was afraid that he would regret it in the future, and he could get up in the middle of the night and slap himself a few times.
Zhu Di also said: "What the second brother said is true, who protects the envoy and threatens the envoy to write fake letters?" ”
Don't say it's an envoy, even if it's an ordinary family relationship, it won't be like this.
The Ryukyus are clearly provoking.
Now deliberately writing such a letter is eighty percent because he wants to do something.
And it is also related to Chu Ze.
Otherwise, they would not have deliberately set aside such a paragraph on the letter, and they didn't write anything on the side, only Chu Ze.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't answer them immediately, but looked at Chu Ze.
"What do you think?"
Chu Ze pondered for a moment and replied, "We don't know, but one thing is certain, the King of the Ryukyus is by no means as honest as he wrote in his letter. But what exactly he wants to do, then we can't guess. ”
Zhu Biao nodded: "Not bad." ”
Don't look at the wording on this letter, it's very respectful.
But Zhu Biao could clearly feel that the other party was just courteous.
His thoughts coincided with Zhu Di, and they both believed that the purpose of the Ryukyu King was Chu Ze.
As for what, they haven't thought of it yet.
Zhu Yuanzhang can naturally see the problems that they can all see.
He said: "Let's just ask, do you think we should agree to his request and let Chu Ze take over the ore vein." ”
"Surely not!"
Do you still need to think about this question?
Zhu Fan was the first to disagree.
Zhu Di and Zhu Biao also disagreed: "The current Ryukyu is too dangerous, if you let Chu Ze go, I am afraid that the consequences will be unpredictable." ”
"Yes, the eldest brother is right."
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at them, then looked at Chu Ze and asked, "What do you think?" ”
If you want to ask Chu Ze what he really thinks, he naturally wants to leave Yingtian.
Now there is a strange balance between him and Zhu Yuanzhang.
On the surface, it seems to be uneventful.
But under the calm, the undercurrent is turbulent.
If he could, Chu Ze wanted to leave this raging lake for a while.
But Zhu Biao and the others all said that he couldn't go, and he insisted on going, maybe Zhu Yuanzhang would have to suspect that he wanted to go and not go back.
Maybe he thinks he wants to go to the Ryukyus and rebuild the country.
If that's the case, he's in danger.
So Chu Ze resolutely couldn't say that he wanted to go.
Chu Ze said in embarrassment: "Although the purpose of the King of Ryukyu is us, we think that we must not compromise for his small island country. Didn't he want the emperor to send us? Then we won't go, but send someone over again to get the matter of the ore veins done, and the king of the Ryukyus won't dare to say anything. ”
But Chu Ze felt that the other party was very likely to disobey the yang and the yin.
Their goal is themselves, so if they don't come out, the other party will definitely not hand over the ore vein easily.
If they do, it means that their purpose is not themselves.
It doesn't matter if you go or not.
Zhu Yuanzhang also thought so in his heart.
However, the starting point is different from Chu Ze.
Chu Ze was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would be suspicious, but Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't get used to the praise of Chu Ze in the letter from the King of the Ryukyus.
In the past few days, his relationship with Chu Ze has been strained.
If Chu Ze is allowed to leave Daming now, in case this kid is really moved by the Ryukyu King's words, and he has the intention of staying in Ryukyu, wouldn't it be a big loss for their Daming?
If you think about it, you must not let Chu Ze go.
Who can be sent?
The three Zhu Biao brothers each proposed several candidates, but in the end they were all rejected by Zhu Yuanping.
He said: "We have to think about the candidates. But we have to let the Ryukyus release the envoys we sent out earlier. ”
If it's Ryukyu, it's fine.
But if they don't let go, then don't blame Zhu Yuanzhang for using force again.
I don't know what I thought, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was heavy for a moment, and soon returned to normal.
Zhu Yuanzhang wrote the letter, and then handed it to the chamberlain, and the courtiers below immediately sent it to Ryukyu.
After Zhu Yuanzhang dealt with these things, Chu Ze spoke again: "Your Majesty, we have a small request, and please ask the emperor to grant it." ”
At this time he made a request?
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Let's talk about it." ”
"That is, our mines have been successfully made, and they have been tested in the rivers, but they have not been tested in the sea, so we want to ask the emperor for permission to let the people at the test site take the mines to the beach to test the mines." Chu Ze said his request in one breath.
Zhu Yuanzhang also thought that Chu Ze was going to say something.
It turned out to be this.
"Didn't you say that it had been tested in the water? Why go out of your way to the beach? Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, a little disapproving.
This time it was not Chu Ze who spoke, but Zhu Zhang.
He immediately broke up the call that Chu Ze had told them before, and explained it to Zhu Yuanzhang.
It is said that father and son are connected.
Chu Ze saw it today.
Zhu Fan didn't understand all the explanations, but Zhu Yuanzhang actually understood.
And Zhu Yuanzhang also summed up a correct conclusion: "So, if this mine wants to be used in the sea, it has to go through this test?" ”
Chu Ze nodded: "Yes." ”
"In that case, then just go. You ask them to report the list of people who are tested and the number of mines they are carrying, and we will send someone to send them there. Zhu Yuanzhang replied very happily, but he was not at ease in and out of his words.
Chu Ze nodded in understanding. (End of chapter)
