Chapter 745
  Zhu Xuan did not go to Kunning Palace today. After returning to the East Palace, he was thinking about which concubine he should accompany.

"Whose turn is it today?"

Zhu Xuan asked Hou Xian beside him. Hou Xian had been recording these things, but before Hou Xian could respond, he remembered it and said, "It should be Xiuying."

As he said this, he walked in front, and Hou Xian quickly followed behind.

Sometimes when there are too many daughters-in-law, it is really troublesome. Zhu Xuan also needs to consider a balance issue between the daughters-in-law. To achieve a state where two bowls of water are equal, no one will be jealous of the other. In this way It’s not easy to do.

Arriving at the place where Tie Xiuying lived, Zhu Xuan just entered and saw Tie Xiuying running over happily and said happily: "Why are you here, Your Highness?"

Zhu Xuan said softly: "I missed you, so I came!"

Hearing these simple words of love, Tie Xiuying's face turned pink, and she took the initiative to take off Zhu Xuan's coat, then took Zhu Xuan's hand, sat on the soft couch, and asked: "Your Highness, have you had dinner? "

"not yet!"

Zhu Xuan shook his head.

Tie Xiuying said happily: "I made some pastries and some meals, which I personally cooked for His Highness."

As she spoke, she clapped her hands gently and someone brought the food.

In fact, she had calculated the date clearly and knew that Zhu Xuan would definitely come to her tonight, so she made preparations in advance. This was a small trick, which was a must in the palace. It was mainly to please Zhu Xuan. Be favored.

Zhu Xuan could understand Tie Xiuying's thoughts. This little thought was nothing. Seeing Tie Xiuying so considerate, he smiled and said, "Are they those cute little white rabbit pastries? I couldn't bear to eat them after seeing them!"

Hearing that Zhu Xuan still remembered the pastries at Jiming Temple, Tie Xiuying's heart felt warm. His Highness still had his own heart in his heart, so he nodded first, then took the pastries over and said softly: "Your Highness, there are also Meals.”

"Have you eaten?"

"not yet!"

"Shall we eat together?"

"it is good!"

They sat together and ate the meal simply.

After the meal, Zhu Xuan hugged her and felt warm for a while, then asked the little palace maid next to her to turn off the lights, and they fell down on the couch together, their belts gradually widening and lingering.

-

the next morning.

Zhu Xuan got up, and Tie Xiuying gently and considerately helped Zhu Xuan put on clothes and comb her hair into a bun.

"Your Highness, it's time to go up."

Hou Xian walked in and reminded.

"coming!"

Zhu Xuan saw Tie Xiuying combing his hair and putting on court clothes, then walked to the main hall. After meeting Lao Zhu, they went to the main hall together.

At this time, all the civil and military officials had arrived and stood in the main hall. When they saw Zhu Xuan and Zhu Yuanzhang coming out, they knelt down and saluted together. After the salute was completed and they officially went to court today, Chen Di was the first to speak.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness!"

"The Tubo envoy Na Wa is waiting for the summons outside!"

Chen Di said loudly.

Yesterday, Zhu Yuanzhang said that when he met with Nawa today, Chen Di made arrangements for people to wait outside.

"Call him in!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

After a while, Na Wa entered the main hall and learned the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty.

“The Nawa envoy came to Ming Dynasty, what’s the matter?”

Zhu Yuanzhang asked politely.

Na Wa bowed and said: "The main reason why I came to Ming Dynasty is to reestablish good relations with Ming Dynasty. From now on, Ming Dynasty will be the king, and Tubo will continue to be the minister." In fact, Tubo is on the plateau, far away from Ming Dynasty, and its geography and environment are not as good as Ming Dynasty. Over the years, no one from Tubo came to contact him, and Zhu Yuanzhang ignored him, mainly because Tubo was really too far away, and it was not suitable for Ming Dynasty to do anything.

It would be better to ignore Tubo and treat it as if it didn't exist.

Even if the Ming Dynasty is unhappy, it mobilizes its troops and leads the troops to fight. With the Ming Dynasty's current military strength, it can fight, but how can it be defeated?
  In the end, we still have to rely on the monks and officials within Tubo to govern Tubo. Over time, they will lose control of Ming Dynasty. It is better to just ignore it and not fight. This is Lao Zhu's idea.

What Zhu Xuan wanted to do more was to assimilate the Tubo people together, but after listening to Na Wa's words, Zhu Xuan felt incomprehensible and thought it was impossible.

The Ming Dynasty has no control over Tubo, nor does it want to control Tubo. Normally, Tubo is in a state of breaking away from surrendering to the Ming Dynasty and becoming the boss. Now it takes the initiative to come to the Ming Dynasty to become a vassal. It doesn't feel right. Could it be that they have some special hobbies in Tubo?

"I don't think I have any hobbies, but I must have some special ideas!"

Zhu Xuan was thinking.

That must be it!
  Zhu Xuan felt that the Tibetan people came to Ming Dynasty for more than a simple purpose and had some agenda.

"very good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "When the envoy returns in a few days, I will also give your king a letter of credence and an imperial edict. We will always be friends from now on!"

Na Wa solemnly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"However, I have one more request, and I would like your Majesty's consent."

he said again.

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked calmly.

Na Wa said: "The eldest son of our Lord of Tubo is nearly 20 years old. He is tall and good-looking. It is the time to choose a mate. However, there is no woman suitable for our prince in Tubo. Therefore, I sincerely request your majesty to marry a princess, or Princess, when you come to Tubo, you will be like Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty."

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden exclamation in the court.

It has been decades since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, but it has never married any princess, nor has it tried to form a marriage alliance with any other country.

As soon as Na Wa arrived, he asked Zhu Yuanzhang to marry the princess. This was the rhythm of actively requesting marriage with the Ming Dynasty. At this time, various ideas emerged among the ministers in the court. Some thought it was feasible, and some thought it was not feasible.

Of course, since Lao Zhu hadn't spoken yet, their ministers naturally didn't dare to speak out their thoughts.

"Marry a princess or a princess?"

Zhu Xuan was also surprised.

However, he believed that Tubo's initiative to become a vassal was definitely not for the princess and princess, and that asking to marry the princess might be just one of their reasons.

It's not that simple.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was no marriage or tribute, the emperor guarded the country, and the king died in the country.

This is an important reason why people like the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years later. Although some emperors in the Ming Dynasty are not very good, the Ming Dynasty is indeed very strong. It is also one of the reasons why Zhu Xuan likes the Ming Dynasty. When he heard Na Wa proposed marriage, , Zhu Xuan shook his head slightly.

It was impossible to get consent.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang agreed, Zhu Xuan would not agree.

Lao Zhu's daughter does not marry far away easily, let alone to maintain peace.

"Are you asking for a marriage?"

Zhu Yuanzhang took a long time to say.

Na Wa nodded and said: "Yes, it is a marriage. What do you think, His Majesty the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a long time, neither agreeing nor objecting. He nodded casually and said: "We will consider this carefully and then give a reply to the envoy. Please wait a few days."

It is impossible to think about it. I just want to find a reason to politely refuse Na Wa. After all, Na Wa comes from a long distance and the visitor is a guest. Ming Dynasty cannot be rude.

"it is good!"

Na Wa doesn't expect to get the answer today. I can wait slowly.
