"You want to see the North Korean envoy?" Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Zhanyang with some doubts.
At this time, several days had passed since Li Xiaozhu sent a secret letter to the North Korean envoy Zhu Zhanzhen. Unexpectedly, Li Xiaozhu received another secret letter from the North Korean envoy. The letter said that Li Shang told them about the relationship between Li Xiaozhu and Zhu Zhanzhen.
Intimate, maybe Lee Hyo Joo knows something about steam engines.
Only then did Zhu Zhanzhen tell Zhu Gaochi that he wanted to see the North Korean envoy.
Zhu Zhanzhen, who was honest and responsible, naturally told Zhu Gaochi everything about the secret letter and handed the secret letter to Zhu Gaochi.
Zhu Gaochi didn't seem angry and said calmly: "This Li Xiaozhu is quite interesting. I have told you everything. Aren't you afraid of being punished?"
"Xu still saw his son's good qualities of kindness and responsibility."
Zhu Gaochi laughed angrily.
"This is not the time for joking. The North Korean envoy inquires about the steam engine. How do you think it should be handled?"
"There's nothing to deal with. It's just prying, and we can't find anything. Moreover, North Korea has always been on good terms with our country. Now the war in the north is about to begin. It is not appropriate to add another enemy. If the north is united, we will be very uncomfortable."
Zhu Gaochi was quite surprised by Zhu Zhanzhen's opinion: "What do you think?"
"I met Master Yao Guangxiao two days ago, and he analyzed it with me." The Ming Dynasty's royal family had to use it.
"It is indeed difficult to have bad relations with North Korea now, but without warning, they will continue to pry for information. If they really let others master the technology of steam engines, it will do us no good at all."
Zhu Zhanzhen was very optimistic: "Even if I took them to see it and touched it, they couldn't understand it, but I still have to give a warning. Father, please give your son some money, and I will go and have a meal with them."
"Did you get a lot of money after the Zhoushan naval battle?"
"The previous attempts to make Buddha Jumping over the Wall were all made from expensive materials, so they are all spent. After all, it is official business to entertain the North Korean envoys."
To do things for the imperial court, I naturally have to spend public funds, and I have to pay for it myself, so I can't be taken advantage of.
I applied for a sum of funds and ordered someone to call out the envoy from North Korea, this time also bringing Lee Hyo-joo with me.
Originally, at this time, Qin Huaihe would definitely have a meal, but since he could only find a high-end restaurant with Li Xiaozhu, the matter could not be left in the palace.
"Two envoys, I hope some simple meals are to your liking." Zhu Zhanzhen ordered a large table of delicacies from all over the world to entertain the two envoys.
North Korea's envoys Zhang Zai and Pu Zhenghuan looked at each other and were flattered: "The foreign ministers are frightened. How can He De and the Five Highnesses sit around the table to eat."
"You and I have been friends for many years, and last year we let the two princesses enter the palace. If there was no chance, I would also like to meet your king."
"The king must be very willing to meet with His Highness." The two of them wore flattering smiles and kept their postures very low.
Zhu Zhanzhen put a few drawings on the table as soon as he started eating: "By the way, you two seem to be very interested in our steamship. These are the drawings of the steamship. If you like it, you can take a look." After that,
Just eat the food by yourself.
Zhang Zai stood up instantly, and Park Zhenghuan held down his arm, indicating no with his eyes.
You can't look at this picture. If you look at it, you'll die.
Pu Zhenghuan smiled sideways, without even looking at the drawings, and rolled it up slowly with his hands: "Your Highness, the Fifth Prince, is really joking. We just like novelty things. The Ming Dynasty's steamship is such a precious thing, how dare we look at it?"
Woolen cloth."
He handed the rolled-up drawings to Zhu Zhanzhen respectfully. This boy was smarter than Zhang Zai.
"That's good. I don't know who my father heard from, saying that the North Korean envoy coveted my Ming Dynasty steam warship in an attempt to spy on secrets."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be aware of it, His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness must be aware of it. We and I will not dare to die." Park Zhenghuan had big beads of sweat on his forehead. This was an attempt to investigate.
"What Your Excellency Park Zhenghuan said is reasonable. I also told my father that it is impossible, absolutely impossible. Can the envoy of North Korea be the kind of shameless person? There must be someone slandering you. Don't worry, my father still firmly believes in you.
, there is no blame from above.”
"Your Highness, the Fifth Highness, understands the righteousness deeply. Your Highness, the Fifth Highness, understands the righteousness deeply." Both of them began to sweat on their foreheads.
"Come, eat, eat, eat." Zhu Zhanzhen kept using his chopsticks, eating happily by himself. The two North Korean envoys held the chopsticks awkwardly, not knowing how to start.
Seeing that the two were about to use chopsticks, Li Xiaozhu took out the later secret letters. The first one had been burned by Zhu Zhanzhen.
This time, the two of them were so frightened that they almost peed their pants. They couldn't believe what their princess was going to do.
"What is this?" Zhu Zhanzhen pretended not to know and continued to eat his food.
"Fifth princess!?" Park Zhenghuan exclaimed.
Li Xiaozhu ignored them: "This is the correspondence between the two envoys and me."
Their hearts pounded like falling into an ice cave.
It's over now, it's over now, this secret letter is enough to confirm North Korea's intention to spy on the secrets of the Ming Dynasty, and the two of them are dead.
Zhu Zhanzhen took the secret letter while eating, and only glanced at the cover, intending to open it but glanced at the two of them, with extremely complicated expressions on their faces.
Throwing the letter in front of the two of them: "This is a letter between you and your mother's family. What's interesting about it? Could it be a secret letter from a spy? The two envoys can take it back themselves."
The two of them hurriedly took back the secret letter, but they were even more shocked. This performance showed that Zhu Zhanzhen must have read the secret letter.
If you haven't seen it, you should return it to Li Xiaozhu even if you don't want to see it. But now it is thrown to the two of them. What does this mean? The two of them are worried and confused.
The Fifth Highness's errant words made it difficult for them to tell the truth from the truth.
Unable to distinguish between reality and reality, and unable to see his intentions, he became even more panicked.
"Eat, why don't you eat? Isn't it to your liking?" Zhu Zhanzhen asked, and the two of them hurriedly grabbed the chopsticks and started eating.
Li Xiaozhu looked dignified and sat next to him. Seeing the two of them pick up chopsticks again, Zhu Zhanzhen said immediately: "You two have to talk to your king when you go back. The two princesses lived very well in the Ming Dynasty. As fathers
I always worry about my daughter’s life outside the home, so I can just say a few words to reassure her.”
"The foreign minister understands."
"By the way, Hyo-joo, what kind of princess are you?"
"Your Highness, I am ranked fifth."
"What's Li Shang's rank?"
"It's the third sister."
"You can't be a fake princess, right?"
puff
The two envoys almost vomited out a mouthful of blood when they didn't eat the food. Zhu Zhanzhen's questions took a big turn and always appeared from angles they didn't expect.
"Go back to Your Highness, and I'll keep it true."
"What about Li Shang?"
The two envoys' eyes widened and they were a little panicked. Li Xiaozhu said slowly: "That's my third sister."
"Oh, that's good. I said it's impossible to send a fake princess to get married. That wouldn't be taking advantage of our Ming Dynasty."
"Yes, yes, how is it possible? How dare we deceive His Majesty the Emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and His Majesty the Fifth Highness." Zhang Zai and Pu Zhenghuan were so frightened that they did not dare to breathe.
"Hey, you didn't mention my second brother. Do you want to deceive my second brother? Then Li Shang is fake."
The two of them were so frightened that beads of sweat broke out: "I don't dare to deceive His Highness."
"What about my eldest brother?"
"I dare not deceive His Highness Taisun, His Highness the Third, His Highness the Fourth, His Highness the King of Han, His Highness the King of Zhao..." The two of them hurriedly added and told everything they knew.
Zhu Zhanzhen was eating and listening. When they stopped, he said, "Why don't you two eat? I'm full."
The two of them picked up their chopsticks and put them down again, barely taking a bite, and now they no longer dare to pick up their chopsticks.
"It doesn't seem to be to your liking. Okay, let's move them out. I hope you won't be offended by the poor hospitality." Zhu Zhanzhen ordered the people to remove all the food and drinks on the table.
Seeing a table full of delicacies being taken away, the two of them had no intention of paying attention to the food now. They looked nervous. Seeing that Zhu Zhanchen was about to leave, they panicked and hurriedly went to see Zhu Zhanxi off, sending the old man away first.
Before Zhu Zhanxi got on the carriage, he reminded: "Two envoys, North Korea and the Ming Dynasty have always had a good relationship. The principle of our Ming Dynasty is that if we have good things to eat, we will give them to our friends. But if the friend is not sensible, then a table of good food will
He won't even be able to eat a bite of the good food. Not only will he have no food to eat, but next time, he will even overturn the table."
Zhu Zhanzhen's words were very straightforward, with a chill in them. Today he came to warn the two of them, and also to warn North Korea.
The two of them sent Zhu Zhanchen off respectfully, looked at each other, swallowed, and did not dare to have any other thoughts.
Zhang Zai said cautiously: "All the five princes of the Ming Dynasty are so powerful."
"Why do you think the fifth princess is?"
"Shhh, from today onwards we won't ask more, see more, or say more. If we offend Daming, we really won't be able to go back."
Inside the leaving carriage.
Zhu Zhanzhen said to the unhappy Li Xiaozhu: "They will definitely report what happened today to your father. Don't you regret it?"
"I am a daughter who was sent out. I will never go back in this life. If my father is angry with me, will he still ask the Ming Dynasty to let me go back?"
"What if he really asks you to go back?"
"You can always find a chance to run away on the road."
"Haha, I thought you were stupid, but I didn't expect you to be quite smart. Your father will probably give you more gifts when the two envoys return."
Li Xiaozhu sighed: "Really? I have never received a gift from my father."
"By the way, talk to Li Shang yourself. She told the North Korean envoy that you know about the steam engine. This guy is not a good person."
"Your Highness, why do you still keep her?"
Zhu Zhanzhen was a little surprised by Li Xiaozhu's words, and then he smiled: "You guys really have a deep love for each other as sisters."
Li Xiaozhu lowered his head and said nothing.
"You should warn her, she is still useful, and if you attack her, you will be brought with her. Since you have shown your loyalty to me, I told you that I will protect my people."
"I understand, Your Highness." Li Xiaozhu's eyes had a different color.
Zhu Zhanzhen smiled slightly, "You sisters have a deep love, why don't we brothers have a deep love? It's not been a day or two that my second brother has troubled me. Since the Crown Princess has arranged for him to be the North Korean royal concubine, I have to keep it for him."
