Daming: the Bear Child of the Yongle Family

Chapter 246

After seeing the track and the new carriage, Zhu Gaoyu came back from Gordon, and before the tea in his hand was finished, Chen Qingzhi hurried over from outside.

"His Royal Highness, someone wants to see you, and his identity is somewhat special." After speaking, he leaned over to Zhu Gaoyu's side, lowered his voice and said, "It's an envoy sent from the grassland."

Originally, according to the footsteps of the envoys of the grassland ministries, they should be able to reach the capital in a few days, but they never thought that someone had arrived quietly, and it was not the first time they met the Holy Spirit.

"See me?" Zhu Gaoyu's mouth curled into a playful smile, "I just returned to Beijing, and so many people have come to my door. It seems that many eyes are staring at Prince Liang's mansion."

Everything in the capital seemed peaceful, and nothing happened, but in fact it was a turbulent undercurrent and treacherous changes. Zhu Gao’s return to Beijing was like a pebble thrown into the lake, causing ripples and stirrings. on the minds of many people.

"If I guess correctly, the envoys should be here to negotiate peace and surrender."

"Does His Highness want to see them?"

Zhu Gaoyu's expression was indifferent, and he suppressed the contemplation in his eyes. His gaze was like an unshakable rock, as if nothing could make him frown, "See, why don't you see it."

He looked out the window, his eyes passed through the red walls and green tiles, and further ahead was the direction of the imperial palace. The eaves were slightly exposed, revealing a faintly poignant trend.

Zhu Gaoyu stood hand in hand, as if he could ignore the obstacles of space and distance, and saw the magnificent palace. This was a battlefield where many forces wanted to compete.

"How can this play go on if I don't see them."

Chen Qingzhi walked in with two cloaked people. The long cloaks covered the whole body, and the wrapping was so tight that people couldn't see their appearance clearly, only to see that they were still carrying a large box behind them.

"I have seen His Royal Highness King Liang." The mysterious man took off his cloak, revealing an exotic face, deep facial features, and a high nose bridge. It was Chake and Wuluhui, the envoys sent by the grasslands.

After the two performed the grassland ceremony, they respectfully performed the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, and their attitude can be said to be very respectful.

Zhu Gaoyu's eyes flashed, "Both of them are envoys from the grasslands. They came to Yingtian for peace and tranquility, so why be so polite, please sit down quickly."

Chake and Wu Luhui glanced at each other, but did not get up. When they heard this, they immediately felt that there was a drama, and hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "His Royal Highness Prince Liang, we are here to ask for something."

"What's the matter?"

Due to the terrain and environmental factors, the people in the grassland are huge and powerful. Even if they are kneeling on the ground, compared to Zhu Gaoyu, who is sitting in the first place, they are like strong cows, and their bulging muscles look very explosive.

Zhu Gaoyu was tall and slender, and he was tall and slender among his peers, but he still looked a little weak, like a sapling next to a bull.

Even so, the two of them did not dare to underestimate Zhu Gaoyu, and even lowered their heads a little bit, "All the ministries of the grasslands are sincerely surrendering to Daming, please have your Highness speak a little more for us."

And Zhu Gaoyu guessed right, they really came to negotiate peace and surrender, what they thought in their hearts was one thing, and what they showed on the face was another.

He suddenly showed a somewhat embarrassed look, and said hesitantly: "The important affairs of the country are decided by the emperor. As a prince, I really dare not intervene too much."

Seeing Zhu Gaoyu's appearance like this, the two of them were a little anxious, "How can we be called to intervene, as long as His Highness speaks a few words for us and shows our attitude."

"If Daming can accept the peace talks on our grasslands, there will be no wars and we will live in peace, it will be beneficial to both parties without harm. I also ask Your Highness to consider the overall situation and not let the people suffer from the war. "

"To be honest, Your Highness, we have a mission this time, so we rushed to the capital ahead of schedule. I hope Your Highness can facilitate the peace talks between the two sides."

It's no wonder that the grassland ministries are so anxious, and even sent people to please Zhu Gaoyu in advance, asking him to mediate.

After all, the army of the Ming Dynasty had not completely retreated. If Zhu Di had not considered the shortage of food and grass, insufficient military supplies, and various problems, I am afraid that this would have continued to send troops.

Zhu Gaoyu knew very well that chasing sons was not a business, and continued to hesitate: "It's not that I don't understand what you said, it's just—"

"Just what."

"I'm young, and I'm soft-spoken. I'm afraid that what I say, the emperor will not take it to heart..."

This is not to talk nonsense with their eyes open, both of them are a little speechless. If King Liang still speaks lightly, I am afraid that no one can speak in front of Zhu Di.

Chake flattered: "His Royal Highness is modest, no one in the capital knows that although His Highness is young, he is deeply favored and used by the Emperor."

Everyone knew that the emperor seemed to be a bowl of water, but in fact he favored King Liang even more. Who made Zhu Gaoyu not only born smart and witty, but also saved Zhu Di's life later.

"We heard that His Highness has just returned from the slaughter of Japanese pirates in the sea. It is the time for the Emperor to be happy. If His Highness can say a few words for us at this moment, the Emperor will surely not mind."

Seeing that Zhu Gaoyu didn't speak, Chake opened the box that he brought, which was full of gold, silver, treasures and various precious jade, and quickly shook the flower's eyes, "Little thank you, it's not a respect, please accept it, Your Highness."

Zhu Gaoyu's eyes moved, but his expression remained unchanged: "No merit, no reward, the two envoys are polite."

"Please accept it, Your Highness. If Daming really accepts our surrender, there will be generous gifts in the future."

He didn't expect that their shots would be so generous, a sly look flashed in Zhu Gaoyu's eyes, like a fox, but his expression was still watertight.

Wuluhui looked at Zhu Gaoyu carefully from the corner of his eyes, but his eyes were drooping, casting a small shadow below, making people unable to guess what he was thinking at this time.

"I wonder what Your Highness thinks?"

The two became more and more uneasy. They had never met a person like Zhu Gaoyu's side. At a young age, he did things and speaks without leaking, slipping like a loach.

"I think--"

Zhu Gaoyu seemed to deliberately betray him, so both of them had their hearts hanging in their throats, for fear that they would refuse if they opened their mouths.

After satiating the appetites of the two, he finally said: "The two envoys have already stated the pros and cons of the two. For the peace and stability of the two sides, this king is willing to say a few words in front of the majesty. As for the final result, it is not this The king can control it."

Chake and Wuluhui couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Highness!".

Chapter 247

Chake and Wuluhui left happily, even walking with wind, watching the backs of the two leaving, Zhu Gaoyu's eyes fell on the box of treasures, and he picked up a white jade pot and played with it.

The tentacles of this white jade pot are very warm and delicate, and the whole body is white without any flaws. At first glance, it looks like a group of snow falling into the hands. Such an exquisite method of making is definitely not something that can be made in the grasslands.

Zhu Gaoyu turned the bottom over, and as expected, he saw an official seal. It really belonged to Daming. I don't know where they kidnapped it from before, so he probably didn't care about it, so he put it in the box and sent it together.

A mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I think it's pretty beautiful. If you can't beat it, you can negotiate and surrender. After a period of recuperation, you can come back again. How can there be such a big good thing in the world."

These prairie tribes are like wolves. Whenever Daming shows a slight decline, they seem to smell the fishy smell and immediately come over. It was the same in the past, and I am afraid that it will be the same in the future. It is natural, I am afraid it will be difficult to change.

From ancient times to the present, tribes such as Oara and Arutai have all used this method. Their ambitions are like this grass. After being harvested by the Ming Dynasty, the spring breeze blows and it swells again, and it seems that it will never stop.

Chen Qingzhi saw him with such an expression, and thought that he would say such a thing just now in order to deal with Chake Wuwuluhui.

"It seems that His Highness does not want to accept their surrender, is he more inclined towards the main battle?"

Zhu Gaoyu said casually: "Since they want to surrender the book, then we will accept it. What's good about fighting a war."

Hearing this, Chen Qingzhi was a little confused and didn't understand what he meant, "But Your Highness didn't say before that their surrender was not sincere, it was just a plan to delay the army."

Zhu Gaoyu looked at the white jade pot in his hand, his eyes fell back on the pile of treasures, his eyes became unfathomable, "Who wouldn't use the strategy of slowing down troops."

Chen Qingzhi was still a little puzzled, "It is clear that at this time, our army has an absolute advantage. Although it is said that the military needs are insufficient, it can be prepared. Why not take this opportunity to wipe out all the grasslands."

"In case they wait until they recover and bite Daming again in a day, aren't we in a passive position, as His Highness said just now, so why not take the initiative and take the initiative in your own hands."

Zhu Gaoyu patted Chen Qingzhi on the shoulder, "You are still too young."

Seeing Zhu Gaoyu, whose head hadn't reached his chest yet, and the immature face of Zhu Gaoyu, but said such words, Chen Qingzhi's expression suddenly became strange.

Fortunately, there were only the two of them in the room at this time, otherwise, they would have laughed out loud when they saw this funny and weird scene.

Zhu Gaoyu put the white jade pot into the box, following the principle that if he is not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.

"What's more, although we have an advantage at this time, if we really start a war, it will be nothing but a lose-lose situation in the end. Even if we really wipe out all the grasslands, we will still be left with a reputation for being cruel and ruthless."

Seeing Zhu Gaoyu's confident appearance, Chen Qingzhi knew that he had already made plans, "What does Your Highness mean?"

"You'll know in the future." Zhu Gaoyu's eyes shifted, as if he had everything under control.

Not long after the envoy of the grassland left, the eunuch in the palace brought an oral edict, and His Royal Highness King Xuanliang immediately went to Beijing to face the saint.

It was really after you sang that I came on stage, so that Zhu Gaoyu did not stop for a moment, he changed his clothes and came to the imperial study.

Looking at Zhu Di's plan, it was obvious that a small meeting was going to be held.

"Fourth brother really makes us wait. I don't know what we are doing."

Zhu Gaoyu just stepped on the threshold, and Zhu Gaoyu's yin and yang strange words sounded, which seemed to mean something.

"After all, I just returned to Beijing after clearing the Japanese pirates. I have a lot of things to deal with, but I'm not as leisurely as the third brother."

He replied calmly, leaving Zhu Gaoyu speechless, so he could only say angrily, "Where am I free!"

Zhu Gaoyu glanced at him sideways, "Those three are talking about what you did during these hours, little brother is all ears."

"I--"

Zhu Gaojiao was speechless for a moment. He still wanted to argue, but was stopped by Zhu Gaojiao next to him. He said with a smile, "I haven't seen you in a few months, and the fourth brother is still so sharp and sharp."

The few of them quarreled, I was afraid that together, they were not Zhu Gaoyu's opponents.

Zhu Gaoyu gladly accepted his compliment, and nodded his head, "Second brother is wrong."

It was obvious that Zhu Gaoyu was sarcastic, but Zhu Gaoyu seemed to be unable to hear it, making him feel as if he had hit cotton with a punch, and he was really aggrieved.

Looking at Zhu Gaoyu's casual words, the two of them were stunned between the words, but it was impossible to refute. The prince and Zhu Zhanji were watching with great joy.

Zhu Zhanji lowered his voice, "Why don't you say that the little uncle is the nemesis of the second and third uncles. It seems that in the end, the little uncle has to take action."

The prince smiled, although he didn't speak, his eyes were full of approval.

"Cough cough." Zhu Di coughed a few times, drawing everyone's attention back, his eyes fell on Zhu Gaoyu, full of love.

"The fourth is back, this time you have done a good job in fighting the Japanese pirates. Feel free to say whatever reward you want, and I will satisfy you."

In one sentence, you can see his love for Zhu Gaoyu, Zhu Gaojiu and Zhu Gaojiu couldn't help showing a jealous look beside him.

"These are all things that are within the responsibility of the sons, how dare you ask for rewards."

Zhu Gaoyu's words made Zhu Di extremely satisfied, "Although you said so, but you have done a great job this time, and solved a serious problem for me, Daming, and you should be rewarded."

"The reward can be put aside first. I heard that the envoy from the grassland is about to arrive in Yingtian. I don't know what Your Majesty's thoughts are, whether to fight or accept surrender."

Hearing Zhu Gaoyu taking the initiative to mention this matter, the expressions of the prince and Zhao Wang Han Wang and others changed slightly.

Now that Zhu Gaoyu has returned with military exploits, and the coastal Japanese pirates have been eliminated, the influence and effect of his words on Zhu Di can be described as important. .

Chapter 248

After Zhu Gaoyu finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the audience. At this time, the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard in the room. Zhu Di was sitting in a high position with his eyes lowered, so that no one could guess that he was at this moment. mind.

"Fourth, what do you mean?"

Zhu Di lifted his eyelids, his eyes flickered with dim light, like there was thick ink that couldn't be dissolved. His tone was neither salty nor light, as if he was just casually asking what to eat today.
