Daming: Distribution of Lingnan, you develop the Pearl River Delta?

Chapter 279 The talks suddenly collapsed
These are calculations.

On the surface, Zhu Ping transferred the Ming army to the emperor of the Chen Dynasty, which seemed very risky.

But actually?
This is a sign of Zhu Xi’s self-confidence!
He believed that with the current combat effectiveness of the Ming army, there was nothing the Chen Dynasty could do against them.

As long as it is safe, there is no need to worry about it.

Besides, the Ming army is not a puppet on a string.

Although there was an order from Zhu Ping to obey the emperor of the Chen Dynasty, they were not children and could definitely tell what they should and should not listen to.

All in all, Zhu Xi's move was very subtle.

Simply divine!

Chen Zhaoting has finally seen what it means to kill without a knife!

It was clearly Zhu Ping who wanted to clear out any resistance forces in South Vietnam. However, when he did this, the orders came from the emperor of the Chen Dynasty, which had nothing to do with him, the king of Ming and Qin...

No blood on your hands!
"Chen Zhaoting will definitely convey His Highness's kind wishes to my father... Now, I am a minister of the Ming Dynasty. I wonder if Your Highness can allow Chen Zhaoting to go to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to seek an audience with His Majesty the Emperor in order to honor His Highness's promise. Where's the promise?" Chen Zhaoting's situation is now irreversible, so she has no choice but to get benefits for herself first.

Get the canonization of Zhu Yuanzhang and become the princess of the Ming Dynasty, so let's talk about the identity first!
Otherwise, wouldn’t the Chen dynasty have surrendered the territory of South Vietnam in vain?

But it is a pity that Zhu Ping is very clear about Chen Zhaoting's thoughts, but in the current situation, Zhu Ping is absolutely dominant.

The Chen dynasty, on the other hand, did not have any strength and could talk to Zhu Xi on an equal footing.

Therefore, Zhu Ping rejected Chen Zhaoting's request. He said: "In the future, after your father and daughter surrender sincerely, I will naturally arrange this matter and let my father accept you as my adopted daughter. But, now is not the time!"

"Then how can I know that His Highness will not go back on his promise?" Chen Zhaoting was unhappy.

In fact, this is a matter of trust between both parties.

Zhu Fang refused to canonize Chen Zhaoting now because he was afraid that Chen Zhaoting would not surrender after being canonized. He also used his status as a princess of the Ming Dynasty to make the Chen Dynasty vassal the Ming Dynasty to get rid of the problem.

And since she was a princess of the Ming Dynasty, it would be inappropriate for the Ming Dynasty to send troops to attack her.

To put it bluntly, even if Zhu Ping wanted to fight, he could still fight against South Vietnam, but Chen Zhaoting had the status of a princess of the Ming Dynasty, and she could also use this status to make some articles.

Zhu Xi didn't want to cause trouble.

As for Chen Zhaoting, she was also worried that if the Chen Dynasty first offered the land of the South Vietnam Kingdom, but then Zhu Ping refused to give her an identity, wouldn't she be at a loss?
Before the surrender, she was a princess of the Chen Dynasty and her father was the emperor.

The other families are all ministers.

What about after surrender?
The remaining families are still ministers.

However, her father also became a courtier.

She, the princess, has become a court lady...

The difference is huge!

"It's a joke. The whole world knows it. I always stick to my word and do whatever I say. Since the princess doesn't believe it, it seems we can't talk anymore." Zhu Xi was a little unhappy.

I thought Chen Zhaoting would give in.

But I didn't expect that Chen Zhaoting was brave enough to come to Panyu Mansion on behalf of the Chen Dynasty. She actually left without saying a word.

This made Zhu Xi a little speechless.We were having a good conversation, but suddenly it fell apart?

However, even so, Zhu Xi had no intention of changing his mind.

"Humph, Chen Zhaoting?"

Zhu Feng said coldly: "As long as I order the frontline soldiers to continue the attack, can your Chen Dynasty withstand the pressure? By then, even if you want to beg me, you will have no chance!"

He planned to do it directly.

Although it is said that it would be best if the land of Nanyue could be captured without any bloodshed, and less killing would be caused and more people could be retained to participate in the construction, but if there is no other way, then Zhu Xi will not hesitate to take up the Butcher knife!

Since ancient times, how can there be any conquest without blood?
Zhu Fang didn't take Chen Zhaoting seriously!
However, this is Zhu Xi. Among all the princesses he has met after traveling to the Ming Dynasty, the one who truly resembles a princess from the Central Plains Dynasty is the one whose temperament is most similar. Chen Zhaoting does have the noble temperament of a traditional Central Plains Dynasty princess.

Moreover, she has fair skin and big and bright phoenix eyes. Compared with the delicacy of Central Plains women in this era, her figure is plumper, even better than some Western women.

In addition, she rejected Zhu Xi's proposal just now, which made Zhu Xi feel a little desire to conquer her in his heart.

But soon, reason suppressed the desire!

Zhu Xi knew very well that Chen Zhaoting couldn't touch her randomly.

Especially now, the Ming Dynasty and the Chen Dynasty are at war. This is a critical period and is very sensitive. If he does something to Chen Zhaoting and causes all parts of South Vietnam to fight to the death, the gain will outweigh the loss.

For the sake of a woman, he lost the support of the people of South Vietnam. Even if Zhu Ping captured all the South Vietnam, it would be nothing but corpses everywhere, a dead land!
What Zhu Xi wants is not only the territory, but also the population!
So Zhu Fang held back and planned to ignore Chen Zhaoting. He even said to Xin Ying: "This Chen Zhaoting, tell her to go ahead. If she wants to see me in the future, she will refuse!"

Missing her.

Who made her refuse her proposal?

Xin Ying nodded and immediately went to convey Zhu Ping's order.

However, when Zhu Xi passed the order to Princess Xu Miaoyun of Qin who was having a baby, Xu Miaoyun pulled Xin Ying and asked: "Why did this princess of the Chen Dynasty offend His Highness?"

Xin Ying did not dare to hide it from Xu Miaoyun. After all, everyone in the world knew that although King Qin had many concubines, the woman he loved most was Xu Miaoyun. So Xin Ying replied: "In reply to the princess, Chen Zhaoting rejected your highness's proposal and let His Highness is very unhappy.”

"oh, I see……"

Xu Miaoyun sent Xin Ying away.

Then, she took out a post with Chen Zhaoting's signature on it.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Miaoyun called out: "Here, go and invite the two sisters from the Luo family to come over."

She now has a big belly and gets tired easily, so she rarely moves around. This is also for the safety of the fetus in her belly, so people summon sisters Russell Jing and Russell Jie.

When the Luo sisters arrived, Xu Miaoyun looked at them and asked, "Princess Chen Zhaoting, did she say anything else when she asked you to help deliver the name card?"

Sisters Luo Jing and Luo Jie shook their heads together, and then Luo Jie said: "Returning to the princess, this Chen Zhaoting didn't say anything else. She just sent some jewelry to the house, saying she wanted to thank our father."

"Understood……"

Xu Miaoyun smiled and said: "In that case, then go and reply to her and tell her to come to me through the back door early tomorrow morning."
