"Where are the people? Why didn't you bring them back?"
"Your Majesty, we have sent someone there. Mr. Jiang may have been frightened, so he did not take the initiative to find us. The Military and Horse Department is reporting that Mr. Jiang is currently recuperating in a common people's home."
"Okay, I'll reward this family heavily."
"yes!"
The ministers below were very puzzled when they saw that the emperor was so happy.
When did the emperor of the Ming Dynasty mobilize so much troops for such a small person?
The prince was also very helpless. Why was his father so interested in a small servant of the palace?
King Qin and King Jin were suddenly shocked. Is this boy alive? If he knew it was us, wouldn't the old man put us two brothers in prison when he came back?
King Qin touched King Jin's hand, and he could clearly feel that his body was shaking.
Only the stone in Zhu Di's heart finally fell to the ground, but he didn't know what would happen after finding Jiang Mingxuan, and he always felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.
"Di'er, I found your person for you, how do you want to thank me?"
When Zhu Di heard this, he knelt down and said, "My father's kindness shines brightly on the sun and the moon. He loves his subjects so much that it scares his son. I am willing to listen to my father's orders."
"Haha, when you get up, it's like the whole family is doing some errands."
"Fourth, among all my sons, you are the most like me. What do you think about foreign missions?"
"In my humble opinion, this mission seems to be on good terms with our Ming Dynasty, but in fact it is here to test the strength of our Ming Dynasty. If no one can translate their words, then the Ming Dynasty will definitely be regarded as nothing by foreign countries, and even more
Even worse, they will spread rumors and cause trouble. If we kill them all, it will damage the national prestige of our Ming Dynasty."
"In my opinion, our ministers have been diligently studying Sinology throughout their lives, and these barbarians will definitely not learn it. It is better to post the emperor's list and recruit talented people from all over the world. The Ming Dynasty has a lot of talents, and this crisis will definitely be resolved.
"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded happily after hearing this and stroked his beard.
"This matter is left to you, go and do it."
Zhu Di glanced at the prince sideways, and the prince nodded silently. The father and son seemed to be singing double recitals.
"My son, I obey your orders."
Immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the King of Qin, King of Jin and several other ministers standing below.
"You guys, how could you ever have an idea like the fourth child? You always let me make the decision, and I make the decision. Why do I support you?"
"Yes, yes, yes." King Qin and King Jin echoed.
"Okay, I'm tired, you all can step aside."
After coming out, King Qin and others stopped Zhu Di who was in a hurry in front.
"Fourth brother! Fourth brother!"
Zhu Di looked back, exhaled and stood down.
"What's wrong? Second brother, third brother."
"Hahaha, I asked for a good job this time. The old man seems to always give you the most difficult things. It seems that he trusts you so much. Look at me and your third brother. He is obviously the idle prince.
"
"Hey, second brother, you can't say that. This country is my father's country, and it is also the country of our Zhu family. We are all working for our own family, so there is nothing tricky about it."
"Yes, the fourth brother is right. This little handyman is back and he is really lucky." King Qin said.
When Zhu Di saw the faces of King Qin and King Jin, he was full of curiosity about Jiang Mingxuan.
"Second brother and third brother, you seem to be very interested in this Jiang Mingxuan?"
"No, no, no, we are just curious,"
"Second brother and third brother, I'm going to run an errand first. If I can't handle it this time, I'll have to move my head. You two can come to my house for tea anytime you have time."
"Fourth brother, walk slowly!"
The two looked at each other and smiled contemptuously.
At this time, Jiang Mingxuan was welcomed back to the palace by hundreds of officers and soldiers.
The battles along the way are comparable to a general's triumphal march, with fluttering banners, and the formations of the military commanders and royal guards are truly a bit unpredictable.
No matter what, he is still a first-class official, but why is he serving as a handyman in the palace?
Jiang Mingxuan was sitting in the sedan chair. He opened the curtain and looked outside. He saw that the people outside were blocked by officers and soldiers on both sides of the road. They looked at each other. This sedan chair almost made Jiang Mingxuan vomit. This is comparable to
My own Bentley is far behind.
Zhu Di returned home and saw Jiang Mingxuan hiding in the house.
Several eunuchs walked in and said to Zhu Di: "The emperor has given instructions that the fourth prince will bring Young Master Jiang into the palace tomorrow morning!"
Zhu Di ran into the room angrily and looked at Jiang Mingxuan sitting on the chair, drinking tea leisurely.
"Are you okay, kid?" Zhu Di touched Jiang Mingxuan up and down.
"Itchy, itchy! What are you doing?"
"Let me see if your kid is hurt. You've made us anxious." Zhu Di said anxiously.
"I'm fine, am I fine?" Jiang Mingxuan replied calmly.
"Tell me! Who kidnapped you! My father will avenge you!"
"I'm not familiar with this place, how do I know? The group of people were all masked, but there was another person who kidnapped me who was dressed differently from the others, and his accent sounded like you from Kyoto, but I didn't see it clearly.
Face."
"Forget it, let's not mention this matter." Jiang Mingxuan prevaricated.
"Don't worry, I can't spare them. Now that the old man has let us two into the palace, does he feel that you are the bones of our Zhu family? Why do he take such good care of you? He has been having trouble sleeping and eating since you have been missing these days.
.”
"I have never seen him like this. Even if he had a decisive battle with Chen Youliang, he could still eat and sleep. What did you two say that day?"
"Nothing? You just think I'm an interesting person and want me to come into the palace more often to talk to him. I'm a little handyman, what can you say to me?"
"That's right. Let's prepare to go to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit tomorrow."
Early the next morning, Zhu Di took Jiang Mingxuan into the palace to meet the saint.
Zhu Di was drowsy on the way, while Jiang Mingxuan looked at Zhu Di in front of him curiously.
It was hard for him to believe that this was reality. Is the person sitting next to him Emperor Yongle or his father?
Jiang Mingxuan slapped his face hard and felt a slight pain, like a needle prick.
Zhu Yuanzhang received a secret report at this time.
"The assassin has been apprehended and is now in private prison!"
The private prison was a prison under the direct control of Zhu Yuanzhang. It was set up by the emperor for the Imperial Guard to investigate and handle special cases. Only the emperor could enter and exit on his own. This was a more airtight place than the imperial prison.
"Keep them under strict supervision, I will go and see them personally!"
"Father, foreign envoys came to pay homage again today!"
"How many more days are left in the deadline they set? Are you still pressing for it so soon? I don't know what's going on with the fourth child?"
"They said they wanted to pay tribute to you!" the prince said.
