Originally, Emperor Liang Zhu Zhen set off first, but the first person to arrive was Wei Jun Jichuan.

Ever since he entered Daning's sea area, Himekawa has been quite arrogant, not to mention spending money and making purchases along the way. This is to win Daning's favor, and at the same time to protect himself.

The more ostentatious he is, the less likely Daning will do anything to him.

As soon as the dragon boat entered Lanzhou, it attracted a large number of onlookers. After all, he is the king of a country. It is difficult not to pay attention to him.

There is a canal in Daning, called the Lancang Grand Canal, which starts from the mouth of the Cangjiang River in the south and reaches Lanzhou in the north.

This canal existed during the Dakang period of the previous dynasty, but it has fallen into disrepair for a long time. The river has become more and more siltated, and the river is very narrow, making it difficult for large ships to pass.

After the founding of the new dynasty, Guan Ning carried out comprehensive management of the Lancang Grand Canal, renovated it, excavated several new river channels, and built dams to collect water. Over the years, it has benefited farming on both sides of the strait and promoted connectivity between the north and the south. It has played a huge role.

The role of...

During this war, all grain, grass and military supplies were sent to the south through the canal.

The canal was not built directly to Shangjing, but to Tongxian County. Later, an artificial river was dug from Tongxian County to Shangjing to divert water, named Jingtong River.

The dragon boat first arrived at Tongxian County, and then passed through the Jingtong River directly to the outside of Shangjing City...

Himekawa stood on the deck, looking at the empty space below with a slightly stunned expression.

He was building momentum along the way, and wherever he passed there were not only huge crowds of people, but also many people watching. But now that he has arrived in Shangjing City, which is a bustling place with many people, but few people come, it seems quite deserted...

Why is this?

Is there any control?

Only when you look at the capital of Daning on a dragon boat can you truly feel the majesty of this city!

Himekawa looked solemn.

This visit to Daning made him deeply touched.

The canal is wide and smooth, which shows that Daning's water transportation has developed to a very prosperous stage...

Coming to Beijing from the southeast, everything you see along the way is prosperous, which is in sharp contrast to the current Wei state.

This war lasted for so long, but it did not have much impact on Daning itself.

What a difference!

Himekawa's feelings were even more obvious.

He is also governing the country, but he has managed the country like this...

Ji Chuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

He saw a guard of honor approaching, surrounding the car, and it looked full of majesty.

"It's Seventh Sister!"

"Seventh sister is here!"

Himekawa looked very surprised.

Only Concubine Daning has such a graceful manner, and his seventh sister Ji Rui is Concubine Ying of Daning.

"That's the seventh princess."

Xie Kang, the bachelor of Wenhua Palace who accompanied him, also happily agreed.

The fact that the Seventh Princess came to greet her in person showed her attitude. She definitely could not make her own decision. Emperor Yuanwu should have agreed.

very good!

"Get off the boat!"

Himekawa waved his hand.

He didn't bring many people with him. In addition to the dragon boat he was riding on, there were only two escort warships. The accompanying people were all members of the royal family.

To put it simply, there are seven aunts, eight aunts, uncles and uncles.

When you come to visit relatives, how can you not bring your relatives?

The only one I can rely on now is Qimei. Once the family card is played and Qimei turns a deaf ear to Emperor Yuanwu, maybe things will work out. It’s worth it to be able to relax when negotiating terms...

After all, Himekawa and Zhu Zhen used the same method... moral kidnapping!

Within a moment, everyone got off the dragon boat. The ceremonial driver had stopped, and Ji Rui was already waiting, accompanied by Gong Liangyu, the chief minister of the Daning cabinet, and other officials.

As an enemy country, it has already given Wei enough face.

"Seventh sister!"

Himekawa walked over quickly.

His eyes were red. This moment was not a show, but a true expression of true feelings.

There is just such a princess in the Wei royal family. She is the youngest princess and is loved by everyone.

Himekawa is naturally very doting on her.

When Ji Rui got married, he brought many dowry items.

"Brother Royal!"

There were tears in Ji Rui's eyes.

The brother and sister have not seen each other for several years, and it is difficult for others to know their state of mind at this moment.

"You haven't changed much, you're still the same as before."

Himekawa looked at it carefully.

He knew that although Daning was at war with Wei State, Qimei had not been wronged.

On the contrary, Qimei also made military exploits for Daning.

This is a report from the envoys sent. At that time, the foreign armies in the Western Regions were attacking, and at the time of crisis, the three female commanders set out to conquer the northwest, and the seventh sister was the commander-in-chief!

When his father was still alive, he often lamented, why is the seventh sister born a girl?

Among all the brothers, no one can compare with him. It seems like this is true.

Ji Chuan felt a little regretful. If Seventh Sister had assisted him in the Wei Kingdom, maybe the Wei Kingdom would not be what it is now.

But there are benefits to marrying to Daning.

Himekawa felt mixed emotions in her heart.

"Brother, you have lost a lot of weight."

Himekawa let out a long sigh.

There is a backlog of many things, let alone losing weight, it would be nice to be able to stay alive.

He suppressed the urge to complain and turned sideways to let the people behind him gather around him.

The large-scale family recognition event has begun!

Ji Rui was surprised and happy. Of course she was very happy to see so many relatives. Then she understood the intention of this royal brother.

This is about playing the family card.

Himekawa looked a little uncomfortable being looked at, and only then did he notice the people coming from Daning.

He was a little disappointed that Emperor Daning did not come.

After some pleasantries, Ji Rui began to introduce.

"This is Lord Gong Liangyu, the chief minister of the cabinet."

"This is Lord Matsunaga Nematsu of the Ministry of Rites."

"..."

"This is Master Hongluji."

"Master Meng?"

Ji Chuan said: "This Lord Meng once went to Wei State. I still remember that Lord Meng is really young and promising. But why is Lord Meng still the minister of Honglu Temple after so many years?"

He was very impressed by Meng Hong.

It was this man who went to Wei State to force him to bow his head and handed Xiao Luan over to Daning.

At that time, he was still interested in talents and asked Song Taiping to win him over with his official position as a bachelor of Wenhua Palace.

But Meng Hong refused.

Bringing up old things is obviously intentional.

Honglu Temple is in charge of foreign affairs and will also be the main person in the peace talks. Previously, it was reported that this person is very tough and unscrupulous.

Himekawa is deliberately divisive.

But Gong Liangyu said directly: "Master Meng is the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, and also serves as the minister of Honglu Temple. His official position is not low at all, so I won't worry about you, Mr. Wei."

"Haha, I just cherish my talent."

Himekawa laughed and fooled him.
