Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 619: The Eastern Roman Princess enters Beijing’s right young prisoner Chen Linqiao and reports on her duties
On the ninth day of August, Zhu Qiyu got up, drank milk, washed his face, ate meat and noodles as usual.

It is said that eating meat, milk and noodles for breakfast is a very nutritious combination, and then eat some fresh fruits.

The difference from usual is that there are uninvited guests visiting today.The mission sent by Cao Guogong miraculously brought Constantine XI's sister-in-law, nephew, and niece back to the Ming Dynasty.

This made Zhu Qiyu very embarrassed. He just sent a mission to the West to observe the wind direction. He really had no intention of letting the mission do such a radical thing.

Chen Lin, the right young eunuch of Yuma Jian who was sent to supervise the army in Gansu, personally led his people back to Beijing.

Dressed neatly, Zhu Qiyu chose to lead his concubines to meet the guests in Changle Palace.Even Empress Dowager Wu, who has always been indifferent to worldly affairs, came to see what was new.

First, Chen Lin was called in. As soon as Chen Lin saw his prince, it was like meeting his relatives. He kowtowed first, then hugged Zhu Qiyu's thigh and started crying.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Okay, okay, it's quite hard to do business in Gansu. I won't let you go in the future. You can follow Hao Yi to form a new army of Shenshu Camp."

After Chen Lin expressed his feelings, he began to vividly explain to everyone the gains of the mission to the West: "Your Majesty, you don't know that another Ottoman Empire has risen to the west of Timur's empire.

Further west is the Eastern Roman Empire with a long history. The mission went west just in time for the Ottoman Empire to conquer Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire.

The Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, Constantine XI, was an extraordinary figure. He led thousands of men to resist the Ottoman Empire's 10,000+ army and almost succeeded.

The Ottoman Emperor Mehmed II ignored our mission. The mission watched the entire defense process there, and then took a boat to a small island country called Morea.

Constantine XI was childless and had only two younger brothers.

These two brothers rule Morea together. We don't know what the habits of those barbarians are, but two monarchs rule a small country together.

People don't talk about the year, they just call it random names like "Second Generation" and "Eleventh Generation".

Then the elder of the two remaining brothers defected to the Ottoman Empire and defeated the younger brother with the army of Mehmed II.

The younger brother, Thomas, fled in panic to Western Rome.Just run away. His wife Katrin, eldest son Andres, and second daughter Zoe were separated during the war and were 'picked up' by our mission. Finally, they were brought back after going through all kinds of hardships. "

Chen Lin finished speaking in one breath, and then stared at his prince intently, trying to see the expression of confusion and helplessness on his face.

Zhu Qiyu was not confused, but stared at Chen Lin in surprise: How did this guy manage to remember so many people's names, place names, and the twists and turns in them.This guy is very smart. I used to underestimate this guy.

This second daughter, Zoe, was Constantine's niece. She must have been the one who later changed her name to Sophia and married Grand Duke Ivan III of Moscow.

Empress Dowager Wu, Lin Xiangyu and others were confused.

Lin Xiangyu secretly poked Zhu Qiyu: "Husband, do you understand? What is Chen Lin talking about?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "The Eastern Roman Empire, which lasted for thousands of years, died, and the last emperor died without any children.

There were only two younger brothers left. The older brother defected to the enemy country, and the youngest brother ran to Western Rome and became the so-called emperor in exile.

The youngest brother's wife, eldest son, and youngest daughter are all in our hands. "

Lin Xiangyu nodded: "The slave family seems to understand, a little bit. As for the Osio Empire, the Eastern Roman Empire, and Morea, I'm still confused."

Zhu Qiyu smiled: "Even if you don't understand, it's of no use. Let's just feed these people. They can't eat much food with just a few mouths."

Keep it for Xu Wenfang of Anguo Gong's family. Maybe it can be used in the future, or at least it can disgust the Ottoman Empire.

There is also an extreme method, that is, in the future, we can send a son to the West and marry the kidnapped little princess from Eastern Rome to him as a princess.

Then he claimed that he had the right to inherit the Eastern Roman Empire. Regardless of whether the people there recognized it or not, he could disgust them as much as he could. "

Lin Xiangyu nodded: "Anyway, my husband is planning ahead, and then he will go through the Western Regions, and all the nations will come to visit us."

"That's pretty much what it means, but Chen Lin, I have a question. How did this mission come back?"

Chen Lin replied: "I can't explain the specifics. It probably means that the mission first took a boat from Morea, then crossed the territory of the Ottoman Empire and entered the Timurid Empire. Our Ming Dynasty has people in the Timurid Empire, and among them With the help of others, he entered East Chagatai.

Once you reach Dongchagatai, you will be considered safe.Under the threat of the Ming Dynasty cavalry, Dongchagatai did not dare to do anything to our Ming Dynasty mission. "

"Do we have anyone in Timur's empire?"

Chen Lin nodded affirmatively: "Taizu once sent Fu An and Guo Ji as envoys, leading more than [-] soldiers to the Timur Empire, and then they were all detained.

Three years later, Taizu sent Chen Wende to lead an envoy to the Timurid Empire again, but they never returned.

Most of the people here were forced to stay in the Timurid Empire, and to this day, they still miss their homeland.With their help, the mission was able to return to Ming Dynasty smoothly.

The mission also brought back more than a dozen people who could provide information for the emperor to conquer the Timur Empire in the future. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded and praised: "This job is really well done. I will reward you later. Bring Katrin and her two children in first, and I will see what they look like."

As soon as these words came out, the concubines became nervous.

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "I'm not a thief, why are you so nervous? Don't bring a slightly younger woman, you will be as if you are facing a formidable enemy.

Be confident, there will be no one better than you in the Ming Dynasty.There should be no people who are prettier than you, and even if there are, their skills are not as good as yours.

I may have better skills than you, but I'm not as pretty as you, so what are you afraid of? "

Ningxiang retorted: "But I heard that people in the far west have yellow hair, blue eyes, and their skin is very white."

"Oh, you little girls know a lot about movies. I don't like people with yellow hair, and I don't like people with blue eyes. I do like people with fair skin, but people in the west are older and have looser skin after giving birth to children. , it’s ugly.”

Hearing this, Lin Xiangyu teased: "Okay, Zhu Shoumen, let's reveal the truth. You know the women of the Western Regions so thoroughly, and you dare to say that you have never done anything bad."

Zhu Qiyu coughed twice in embarrassment: "Don't scream like a gatekeeper, the queen mother is still here."

Lin Xiangyuguang was thinking about the beauties from the Western Regions, and he forgot his feelings for a moment, and he was used to it casually in his palace, so he suddenly became a big blush.

Sure enough, Queen Mother Wu became interested when she heard this: "What does Zhu Shoumen'er mean? Why do you call him Zhu Shoumen'er?"

Ningxiang explained with a smile: "During the battle to defend the capital, my husband shouted every day that the emperor should guard the country. Our sisters would occasionally jokingly call him Zhu Shoumen'er when we were at home.

Where Meng Lang was, he also asked his mother to punish him. "

Empress Dowager Wu nodded: "Zhu Shoumen, that's very nice to hear. I understand the relationship between you as a young couple, whether to punish a crime or not.

Harmony between husband and wife is better than fighting every day.Look at the concubines in Xuan Temple, they are all very dignified, but what happened in the end.

Concubine Sun Ru, in particular, caused so many troubles, and the Sun family was the source of the troubles in the Zhengtong and Jingtai dynasties. "

Zhu Qiyu sighed: "When North Korea and Japan are conquered, my prestige will be raised to a new level. It is estimated that my cronies will be completely unable to hold back by then.

They are probably going to kill my dear eldest brother and force the prince to give up his throne.

When it comes to fratricide, there's nothing I can do about it.Even if I want to be brothers and sisters, my subordinates can't agree to it. "

Empress Dowager Wu asked: "The prince cannot die, right?"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Let him be a prince in a down-to-earth manner. Zhu Qizhen only has this son. We can't let him cut off his descendants. That would be too cruel.

There are so many of my sons, and the overall situation has been decided, and he can't turn the tables. "
