Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 197 Are you sure you really want the answer?

Ryukyu is a small maritime country and is often bullied by the Japanese.

They often asked the Ming Emperor for help, but the Ming Dynasty was not capable of naval warfare. The Japanese pirate crisis on its own coastline had only subsided in recent years, so it could not help Ryukyu.

Now the Ryukyu envoys can only seek some comfort by watching Zhu Yuanzhang reprimand the Japanese envoys.

"Back to Your Majesty the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates have nothing to do with our Japanese country."

Ashikaga Hisuki lowered his head and argued: "As far as I know, those Japanese pirates who committed all kinds of evil are actually ordinary people who went to sea to become bandits during the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered: "You say that, are we wronging you?"

"Don't dare!"

Ashikaga Hisuki bowed and said: "This time we are sent as envoys to the Ming Dynasty for two things. The first is to pay tribute to His Majesty the Ming Dynasty. We will pay tribute to a coral."

He clapped his hands, and someone immediately brought a basin of red coral and placed it in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

This coral is not ordinary, it should be worth a lot of money.

Seeing that the Japanese really came to pay tribute, Zhu Yuanzhang softened his expression and asked Yun Qi to accept it.

Ashikaga Hisuki added: "Secondly, I came here because of the incident where our envoy disappeared for no reason many years ago."

Hearing that they were still entangled in the matter and even dared to question them in the main hall, Zhu Xuan felt a little surprised and looked at his grandfather.

The last batch of envoys were all thrown to feed the wild wolves by the Jin Yiwei.

Now I'm afraid I won't even be able to get the bones back.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard that he dared to mention this matter, he snorted coldly and said: "We have told you a long time ago that we don't know how they are alive or alive, and we don't know where they have gone. You still deliberately arranged for Japanese pirates to invade us because of this matter." Ming Dynasty, we haven’t settled this account with you yet!”

boom!
  As he spoke, he slapped the table hard.

The envoys from the small countries were so frightened that they trembled slightly.

Ashikaga Hisuki quickly knelt down. No matter how unhappy the Japanese nation was with the Ming Dynasty, he himself was within the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill him with just one sentence.

What's more, he couldn't help but be afraid of Lao Zhu's majesty.

"We have found out that the envoy back then seemed to have a conflict with a certain emperor's grandson in the Ming Dynasty, and then he could not go back. Please give us an answer, His Majesty the Ming Dynasty." Ashikaga Hisuki said bravely.

It took several years of investigation to find out this matter.

Zhu Xuan felt that the efficiency of their work in the Japanese country was a bit low, and then he thought, wouldn't the people of the Japanese country arrange some spies in Yingtian Mansion?

It is possible!
  Otherwise, this is the first time they have come here in the past few years, and they can actually find this. They should have arranged for spies to come in in advance to check Yingtian.

Zhu Xuan even felt that the Japanese country could not stay and must be destroyed in the future.

"Are you sure you really want answers?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry, but asked calmly.

Ashikaga Hisuki wanted to nod and get the answer, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back. After recalling Zhu Yuanzhang's tone, it seemed to have a touch of murderous intent, as if he wanted the answer. He would end up with the previous batch of envoys. That way, we lost contact for no reason.

"If His Majesty the Ming Dynasty doesn't know the answer, forget it."

Ashikaga Hisuki reacted quickly and immediately shook his head and said: "Maybe they really sank into the sea and died in the belly of the fish."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and ignored this person.

Even if he can't get the answer, Ashikaga Hisuki is basically certain that it is related to the Ming Dynasty.

The envoys of other small countries secretly laughed when they saw the shriveled Ashikaga Hisuki tree. Especially Ryukyu, they really wanted to see a conflict between the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese country, and then the Ming Dynasty sent troops to attack the Japanese country, and they took revenge.

"Okay!" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to talk about this anymore, and said calmly: "Tell the people in the imperial kitchen to prepare a banquet to entertain the envoys!"

After saying this, he took Zhu Xuan and left the hall.

"My dear grandson, we have decided to abandon the sea ban."

Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "We have already discussed this matter with the ministers of the DPRK and China. After we open the sea, with Guaisun's big ship here, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with the Japanese pirates from the Japanese country, right?"

Hearing that the emperor was willing to give up the sea ban, Zhu Xuan was overjoyed and said confidently: "It's not difficult at all, it's very easy. It's a pity that we don't have enough big ships now. If there are enough, the emperor can give an order and his grandson can lead We, the warships of the Ming Dynasty, are going to destroy the Japanese country."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought of the faces of the Japanese and said coldly: "The Japanese must be destroyed, not only for the gold and silver mines on the island, but also because we don't like the Japanese. When we see their appearance, we want to go up and beat them up."

Zhu Xuan echoed: "My grandson doesn't like those Japanese people either. They are short and ugly. If it weren't for the reputation of the Ming Dynasty, my grandson would have beaten up the Japanese people."

"Ha ha……"

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard what Guaisun said, he laughed and said: "When Guaisun's fleet is ready, we will leave it to Guaisun to fight against Japan. How about that?"

Zhu Xuan readily agreed: "Okay! But my grandson discovered a problem."

"what is the problem?"

"My grandson suspects that the Japanese country has arranged many spies in our Yingtian."

Zhu Xuan continued: "This is the first time they have come to Yingtian in the past few years, but they found out that the last disappearance of the envoy was related to their grandson. Doesn't Grandpa Huang find it strange?"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it carefully, and his expression suddenly darkened.

What my dear grandson said makes sense.

Those Japanese dared to arrange for spies to enter Yingtian. This was challenging Zhu Yuanzhang's limits. He said angrily: "Jiang Yu, check it out!"

Jiang Wei immediately went out to make arrangements and conduct a thorough investigation of the entire Yingtian.

Zhu Yuanzhang added: "My dear grandson is still attentive and can think of so many things."

Zhu Xuan said: "My grandson just thought that the Japanese must be very ambitious. They are not good people and can do anything, so he thought of this."

Those Japanese people are indeed very ambitious.

They must be coveting the Ming Dynasty. Those Japanese pirates from the Japanese country, in addition to plundering the Ming Dynasty's property, must also want to invade the Ming Dynasty's land, but they do not have the strength now.

A few years ago, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't really want to launch troops against the Japanese country. He thought that the enemies of the Ming Dynasty were only those in the northern grasslands.

After experiencing the intrusion of Japanese pirates and the questioning just now by Ashikaga Hisaki, he wished he could personally lead his troops to destroy the Japanese country.

After chatting for a while, the grandfather and grandson returned to the main hall.

I saw the envoys eating quietly.

Zhu Yuanzhang still treated the envoys of other small countries very politely, but he was not satisfied with the Japanese state. This time he came out, said a few words, and began to give some rewards to each envoy. How much was the value of their tribute, and what would be the value of the reward back. Double.

This is why the vassal states like it so much and come to Ming Dynasty every year.

The rewards received can completely offset the expenses on the road, and can also generate income for his treasury.

Zhu Xuan sat aside and looked at the rewards given by the emperor. He secretly wrote down which country the envoys came from, and began to figure out which country he could conquer in the future. After conquering it, it would be easier for Ming Dynasty to manage.

The banquet went on for a while and finally ended.

Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Xuan to Wenhua Pavilion to deal with some memorials, and also taught Zhu Xuan how to read the memorials.

The first day of meeting the envoy passed like this.
