Chapter 493: The Provocation of the Ceylon Envoys.

After Michelle listened to Zhu Di's words, he smiled coldly: "Emperor Ming is really refreshing, but although we have to compete, we also have to make some bets!" ”

This Michelle is a little bit inched, and he seems to be very confident in his own people.

Zhu Di smiled faintly: "Okay, what bet do you want?" ”

Michelle clapped his palms, and then a man walked in with a flower pot, which was not full of dirt, but a little dirt at the bottom, and water at the top.

Clean as promised.

But this is not a strange place, what makes people feel strange is that there is a lotus flower planted in this pot, and the leaves and flowers of this lotus flower are close to the water, which is very beautiful.

Zheng He knew about this flower, this is the national flower of Ceylon, the water lily, he once wanted to introduce this to the Ming Dynasty, but the king of Ceylon refused to live or die, and finally Zheng He gave up.

There are many lotus flowers in the Ming Dynasty, but they have never seen this kind of lotus with leaves and flowers close to the water.

After the ministers were amazed, Michelle said: "This is the water lily of our national flower of Ceylon, if this water lily is planted in the lake, it is a wonder, if you people of the Ming Dynasty can overcome us, we will give this water lily to the Ming Dynasty, and it also includes a bag of water lily seeds and the method of raising." ”

Zhu Di laughed secretly in his heart, a water lily can even be used as a bet, which is too much to look down on him in the Ming Dynasty, so after a while, Zhu Di shook his head: "Some water lilies, my Ming Dynasty is not rare, so you take these as bets, it really seems that you have never seen the world in Ceylon." ”

Zhu Di's words fell, and those ministers also echoed: "That's right, it's just a water lily, what's so strange, if you want to bet with our Ming Dynasty, just take something valuable, don't throw a basin of water on your face Ceylon." ”

Ministers, you and I said one sentence at a time, which made Michelle's face red, he didn't expect that their national flower would be insulted here.

Michelle said angrily: "You said that your Ming Dynasty is not rare for our national flower, then good, if someone in your Ming Dynasty can say the cultivation method of water lilies, I will take out that your Ming Dynasty has nothing to bet." ”

Michelle's words made Zhu Di very angry, since he became the emperor, there has never been a person who has just spoken to him in this tone, but he is the emperor and represents the image of a country, so he only smiled slightly: "Okay, I am a big country, there must be someone who knows how to cultivate water lilies!" ”

Michelle smiled coldly: "Okay, then I'll give you half a day, if you can't find anyone who can cultivate water lilies, then you will lose!" ”

Provocation, naked provocation.

When this provocation made Zhu Di even more angry, he looked at the ministers and asked, "Who of you knows how this water lily is cultivated?" ”

They are all important ministers of the court, and there are many people who are rich and wealthy, but if they are asked to name the cultivation of a flower, they are not good at it, these are the things of the gardener, and they do not have the time to plant flowers.

Their time is spent admiring the flowers.

Among the ministers, no one spoke, which made Zhu Di very angry, if no one could really say the cultivation method of these flowers, then where would he put the face of the Ming Dynasty?

At this time, Ji Gang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Ye Xing and his party have been walking all over the world for a year, and they should have seen a lot of strange things, maybe they know how to cultivate water lilies." ”

The ministers were shocked, this Ji Gang didn't hate Ye Xing very much, why did he recommend Ye Xing to the emperor now?

Zhu Di looked at Ji Gang and immediately understood his intentions, he wanted to trap Ye Xing to death, if Ye Xing and the others didn't know how to cultivate water lilies, then he would definitely not be able to forgive Ye Xing easily.

At this time, a minister stood up and said, "What Master Ji said is true, but if Ye Xing doesn't know how to cultivate water lilies, wouldn't my Da Ming's face be defeated in his hands?" ”

Zhu Di smiled secretly, it turned out that Ji Gang had already discussed it with the people in the court.

"If Ye Xing and they don't know how to cultivate water lilies, then they will be punished according to the Great Ming Law!" Zhu Di looked at the ministers and said, and when he said this, it can be regarded as leaving a way for Ye Xing to live, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, those who destroy the dignity of the country will be punished, but if Zhu Di says something, he should be able to save his life.

With the emperor's words, those brocade guards naturally happily went to invite Ye Xing and them, or rather, they invited Ye Xing and them to die.

At that time, Ye Xing and the others were enjoying the flowers and drinking in the Zhongshan Palace, and they were not comfortable, and they didn't know that a danger was waiting for them.

A group of brocade guards rushed in, but their faces were very good-looking today, without the disdain of the past, and they also said in a low voice: "Ye ...... Several, the emperor invites you to the Jinluan Palace! ”

When Di Xiaojie saw Jinyiwei's face, he suddenly felt a hope in his heart, did the emperor want to give Ye Xing and them freedom, so these Jinyiwei came to invite them?

Ye Xing is also very strange, isn't today the day when Zhu Di receives foreign envoys, is it possible that Zhu Di is happy to see the envoys, and he wants to let himself go?

But Ye Xing felt that it was unlikely, so they could only follow those brocade guards into the palace in peace.

When a few of them came to the Jinluan Palace, they completely understood what was going on, Di Xiaojie was angry for a while after he knew it, and when he could use his big brother Ye, he called it in exchange, and when he didn't need it, he was confined in Zhongshan Palace, what kind of thing is this!

But these Di Xiaojie can only think about it in his heart, he dares to say it, if he says it, he doesn't have to worry about his life, the key is that he will also affect his big brother Ye.

Although Di Xiaojie is sometimes reckless, he understands the truth.

After Ji Gang told Ye Xing the reason for the matter, he then asked, "Ye Xing, are you willing to accept the challenge of Ceylon for Daming?" ”

Ji Gang's words undoubtedly mean that Ye Xing must continue any challenge in Ceylon in the future, and Ji Gang's words make Ye Xing have to continue, otherwise he will not think about the country, and the final result will only be death.

Ye Xing nodded: "I have no regrets after I have done my best for the country, and I am willing to accept the challenge of the envoys of Ceylon." ”

Zhu Di was very happy, and hurriedly said: "Okay, if you can win the envoy of Ceylon, I will reward you heavily!" ”

Ye Xing hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, then looked at Michelle, the Ceylon envoy, and asked, "I don't know what you want to ask?" ”

Ji Gang didn't tell Ye Xing about Michelle's problem just now, because he was afraid that Ye Xing would not dare to fight after knowing the problem, so he only said that Michel, the envoy of Ceylon, wanted to make a bet with the Ming Dynasty, and whether this bet could continue depends on Michelle's problem.
