The Forbidden City of Nanjing, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers, is bathed in the morning light in the early morning, which is extraordinarily quiet.

This time of day is the time for breakfast, the palace has its own rules, and the prisons and bureaus have already been busy, although Zhu Di is diligent in government, but it is different from Emperor Taizu's work and rest, Emperor Taizu's schedule can be described as meticulous, when to get up, when to eat, there is no deviation.

However, Zhu Di, who is also accustomed to the military, is extremely disordered, and sometimes he directly orders someone to take some pastries in the warm pavilion, and he easily finishes breakfast.

There are a lot of recitals today, and the General Administration Department sent them early in the morning, and at this moment, Zhu Di was eating tea with pastries, and Zheng He was reading a book of recitals on the side.

"Yang Biao of the Ministry of Rites Langzhong said: There are people from the noble clan of the Great Food Honor, etc., stopping the ship in Quanzhou City, claiming to be ordered by the father and elder of the country, although the Great Food is far away from the Middle Earth, but I have long admired my Ming Wanghua, so I begged to pay tribute, lead the fleet into the court, and pay homage to the great tomorrow son......"

Hearing this recital, Zhu Di couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, because this recital was a little strange.

However, when paying tribute, most of the names are the delivery of letters of state in the name of the king of the country, which is called vassal tribute. However, this note did not mention the lord of the other party, only said that it was the Xungui clan, and it was vague what kind of name this Xungui clan was, and most of the Dashi court might not know. In addition, these people did not say that they represented the imperial court, but only said that they were ordered by the fathers and elders in the country, which is a bit interesting, and no one can say what the fathers and elders in the country are.

But then again, people came together. There seemed to be no reason to treat him coldly, Zhu Di pursed his lips, and he roughly understood in his heart. Most of the big food merchants saw that it was profitable, so they also learned from others to pay tribute.

This kind of thing is not nothing, there were many such people who pretended to be envoys in the Tang and Song dynasties, and there were similar incidents when Emperor Taizu was there, and they were all severely reprimanded and sent back to China directly.

But......

It's not the same time it used to be. The Northern Yuan Dynasty was brutal and alien, making the people of China. The liver and brain of the dead are smeared on the ground, and the flesh and blood of the living are not protected, and Emperor Taizu raised troops to expel the tyrannical yuan and create the Ming Dynasty. The righteous man who has won the country since ancient times. There is no emperor Taizu.

A justifiable emperor naturally doesn't need a group of unknown people to add icing on the cake, so he is full of confidence, and naturally he doesn't have to be polite to these people who take advantage.

But Zhu Di is different, Zhu Di's country is based on the cannibalism of uncles and nephews, Zhu Di urgently needs internal and external recognition, this urgent mood can be imagined.

This is also the reason why Zhu Di hesitated, knowing that these people were here to take advantage of him and eat his tofu. But he couldn't help but think about it, wanting to turn a blind eye. After all, this thing is not for outsiders to see, but for the people inside, and it is nothing more than a trick that you and I want.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di's eyebrows raised slightly, and he was still chewing the meal in his mouth, but he said a little vaguely: "What did Wenyuan Pavilion say." ”

Zheng He said: "This will is the solution of the bachelor's personal vote, what is said is that it is the great food of the father's hospitality, the court should be treated with courtesy, since the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, the country and the people, the gentleman Ying Dynasty, I have the Ming Dynasty has the image of a prosperous era, the feudal clans are vying to come to the court first, bathing the king, it is also excusable, if the court is not allowed, it will inevitably chill people's hearts, it is to be gracious to the Quartet, it should be hospitable. ”

These words went to Zhu Di's heart, and Xie Jin's vote did not mention any questions about the other party's origin, but only emphasized that this was because of his admiration for Daming's kindness, which meant obviously, and Wenyuan Pavilion also hoped that the person who came would not refuse, and it would be tacit.

Zhu Di smiled and nodded: "That is the case, then it is approved, order the relevant officials of Quanzhou City to welcome the envoys of the Great Food into the court, and treat everything with the courtesy of close relatives and feudal countries, and the relevant personnel must ensure their safety, and the tribute and goods must also be properly disposed of." ”

Presenting these, Zhu Di's mood is obviously very good, although something unpleasant happened two days ago, but obviously after that time was not very pleasant, all kinds of happy events are coming, on the one hand, it is time to pay tribute, countries are vying to be the first to enter the court, which is very different from when Zhu Di just ascended the throne, compared to the previous door, this year can also have a bit of a prosperous atmosphere.

Zhu Di seemed to be full of interest, and couldn't help but shake his spirits, and said: "The tribute period is approaching, and the envoys of various countries have heard that they have already left, and now it is rumored that the envoys have arrived in Beijing, which is a good thing, the court can't have any accidents here, so keep an eye on it, don't make any more trouble." ”

Zheng He hurriedly said yes.

At this moment, the internal official came in broken steps, and after entering the cabinet, he bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, the brocade guard handed a note to enter the palace...... Say yes...... Say yes ......"

Zhu Di looked displeased, took a sip of tea, and said, "I have something to say." ”

The internal official glanced at Zheng He before he said: "It is said that the case of Zhu Qian in Langzhong of the Ministry of Industry is involved in Xiao Yue and Xiao Gonggong of the War Bureau. ”

Zhu Di was slightly stunned: "Xiao Yue? ”

Xiao Yue, Zhu Di has an impression, and his impression of him is not bad, I think this guy is usually cautious and practical, and he does a lot of errands in the palace, and he does it well.

Zhu Di didn't expect that this matter would be implicated in the palace. He squinted, his face looking a little terrible.

For eunuchs, Zhu Di has always been generous, and this Xiao Yue can be regarded as a martyr in terms of appeasement, if it wasn't for them to pass on military information back then, Zhu Di may not be able to hold out in Beiping for so long, and he went all the way south after the last.

So when Zhu Di learned that Xiao Yue was involved, he was a little hesitant.

Immediately afterwards, another internal official came in and said, "Your Majesty, Xiao Yue asks to see you." ”

Zhu Di sneered: "Call in, see what he says?" ”

After a while, Xiao Yue stumbled over, and after getting the news, he immediately felt that something was wrong, looking at His Majesty's disposal of the shipyard, it was obviously biased to Hao Fenglou's side, and now that Zhu Qian was in the hands of Hao Fenglou, he would be involved sooner or later, so he immediately made a decision and rushed here immediately, in order to distinguish and intercede for himself.

In any case, with his impression in front of His Majesty, as long as he can come and cry first, there is still a glimmer of life.

As soon as Xiao Yue came in, without saying a word, she fell to the ground, Tao Tao cried: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid can't live, I beg Your Majesty to spare the slave and maid......"

"Slaves and maids have been trembling all these years, serving the Son of Heaven, and not daring to have the slightest violation, these are all seen by the emperor, Jinyiwei spewed blood, saying that slaves and maids cut people's hearts and livers, how dare people like slaves and maids do such things, this is either Jinyiwei framed and framed, or ...... Something just went wrong...... His Majesty's ...... His Majesty's ...... The slave and the maid have been wronged, the slave and the maid have worked hard without merit over the years, and your majesty ......"

While crying bitterly, he denied his sins, his voice was choked, his eyes were red and swollen, and he kept kowtowing, as if he was going to smash all the gold bricks, and the puddle of blood on his head looked very scary.

This pitiful appearance made Zhu Di feel a little sympathetic, and he couldn't help but wonder if something was wrong, even if it was true, this slave and maid...... At least not to the point of dying without a burial, after all, he is still a meritorious man......

Seeing that Zhu Di couldn't help but be moved, Xiao Yue immediately seized the opportunity and continued: "Your Majesty...... The slave is conscientious and conscientious, and she doesn't dare to think about it, besides, that case is a mess, and after so many years, how can you say it clearly? At this time, those brocade guards took the opportunity, even if they just wanted to invite the slave and maid to assist in the investigation, but who didn't know that as soon as Lu Dao entered the edict, whether guilty or not, few could come back alive, the slave and the maid were not afraid of death, but they were afraid that there were not a few confidants around him, and the slave and maid ......"

"Strike...... You get up and speak. Zhu Di's face softened a little, and he seemed to have a little forgiveness in his heart.

Zhu Di sighed and said: "You are meritorious, how can I not know, this matter is ......" He couldn't help but glance at Zheng He, and said: "Zheng He, this is a matter in the palace, and it can be regarded as a family matter, it is difficult for Qing officials to decide family affairs, even I am a little embarrassed, so you can talk about it, what do you say about this matter?" ”

Zhu Di did this, but he had ulterior motives, it was Hao Fenglou who wanted to handle the case to the end, and he did promise Hao Fenglou that he would let him investigate this case.

But now you can't go back on your word, and this Zheng He is Hao Fenglou's junior brother after all, if at this time, Zheng He comes to intercede, then he will get off the donkey down the slope, and Hao Fenglou will not be able to say anything.

Zheng He's face looked very calm, in fact, no matter at any time, he had this expression, Zheng He just glanced at Xiao Yue, in the palace, Xiao Yue and himself did not deal with it very well, and this time, Xiao Yue had a dislike with his senior brother Hao Fenglou outside the palace, so he understood that if he didn't take the opportunity to kill Xiao Yue at this time, then sooner or later, it would be difficult for their senior brother to be planted in the hands of this Xiao Yue.

So...... Xiao Yue must die.

After thinking about everything, Zheng He said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Xiao Gonggong is indeed honest and responsible, but the slave maid is thinking, this brocade guard has just arrived in the palace, and someone has just come to report to His Majesty, why did Xiao Gonggong come back on his feet, Xiao Gonggong is very well-informed, and many things are more than the slave and maid know the Tao earlier......

Hearing this, Zhu Di's body shook slightly, and his gaze instantly became a little more stern.
