I want to be a grandson

Chapter 497 Opportunity is here!

In a courtyard where the eunuch lived, Ma He entered the house, saluted Li Fu, and said, "I have met Eunuch Li, but I don't know if Eunuch called me here, what is your order?"

Li Fu, who was originally sitting on the chair, stood up with a smile on his face, without saying a word,

But his eyes looked back and forth on Ma He's body, from top to bottom, from left to right, and looked carefully.

It's just this kind of gaze that made Ma He feel cold all over his body, especially awkward.

If it wasn't for Li Fu's usual behavior and his lack of special hobbies...

Ma He is probably about to rush out at this time!
"Uh, Eunuch Li, what advice do you have? If there is anything wrong, please correct me."

Li Fu withdrew his gaze, and said with a smile: "Where did you think of our family, you don't think it's dirty!"

Of course Ma He refused to admit it, and said solemnly: "My father-in-law misunderstood, and I didn't think much about it..."

Li Fu waved his hand and didn't care, but said enviously: "Ma He, your chance has come!"

Ma He blinked his eyes and asked in confusion, "Elder-in-law, what do you mean?"

"Come on! Bring things up!"

Li Fu didn't explain, so he took care of the little eunuch and lifted up the armor in the army, together with the shelf.

"Put him on!"

Seeing that the little eunuch wanted to change his armor, Ma He hurriedly said, "Elder-in-law, what is the meaning of this? The servant is a survivor of punishment, how can she wear armor? If someone finds out, it's fine!"

But Li Fu said: "Be safe and don't be impatient, put it on first and then talk!"

Ma He felt uneasy and didn't understand what he was going to do, but thinking that Li Fu would not murder him,

Furthermore, since I and Li Fu are His Majesty's confidantes, if I was framed, how could His Majesty not ask?

Moreover, this kind of murder strategy is too low-level, and it is impossible to successfully frame him. Even if the eunuch fights for power and profit, it is impossible to wear the general's armor.

Ma He didn't understand why Li Fu did this, so he had to let the eunuch change himself into armor.

When Ma He was dressed properly, Li Fu looked him up and down, nodded and said, "What's missing... that's right!"

As he spoke, he held up the sword with both hands from the sword stand on the enshrined table, and said, "Come, match this sword!"

The eunuch buckled the sword around Ma He's waist three times, five times and two times, and it became the supporting sword in his waist.

After waving his hand to let the little eunuch back down, Li Fu said, "You will look energetic only when you wear this dress!"

At this time, Ma He's anxious heart also calmed down, and he smiled helplessly: "Elder-in-law, can you talk now? What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty asked me to pick it out and tell you to wear it. As for the reason... that is beyond my guess... Your Majesty is meeting with envoys from various countries in the Hall of Martial Arts. Ma He, go and serve!"

Ma He took a deep breath, this is His Majesty's intention!
He didn't know what His Majesty was going to do, but he knew that His Majesty must have deep meaning!

It is impossible to put on armor for no reason!

But as Li Fu said, my chance may really come!
She clasped her fists in salute, bowed and said, "Thank you, father-in-law!"

Li Fu took two steps to the side, avoiding his salutation, and said with a smile: "It's serious, thank me for what I did, and I will serve you faithfully and bravely in the future, so please repay His Majesty's grace!"

Ma He bid farewell to Li Fu, left the eunuch's residence, and headed for the Hall of Martial Arts.

With the armor on, Ma He's waist straightened a lot.

His eyes are no longer lonely, but instead burst out with a little bit of spirit, and his whole person's aura has also improved a lot.

When he came outside the gate of the Hall of Martial Arts, the eunuch on duty couldn't help being surprised to see him dressed like this!
"Eunuch, please inform me that the servants are ordered to serve in the Hall of Martial Arts."

Ma He remained humble, reaching out to untie the sword and hand it over to the storage place outside the hall.

The eunuch on duty quickly said: "No need, the prince has told you to enter directly when you come. You don't need to inform, and you can also bring your sword into the palace!"

The eunuch on duty knew Ma He's status in His Majesty's mind, so he couldn't flatter him, and there was a belt on it, so he was naturally polite.

"Thank you!"

Ma He entered the hall through the side door and saw that His Majesty was talking with the envoys from various countries, he was at a loss for a while.

Should I go over and salute, or should I stand aside?
At this time Zhu Yunxi also found him, and his eyes lit up!
People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, this is really true!

Wearing suitable clothes on the body will immediately change the aura of the whole person!

(Of course, except for the wood turtle!)

Zhu Yunxi raised his finger, signaling him to stand beside Qu Tao and Zhang Fu, and Ma He walked over quietly without any alarm.

Wang Zhong, who was standing on the other side, was drooling with envy!

With this armor on, who would know that he is a eunuch?
Proper battlefield warrior!
Oh, forget it, I can't be envious...

I don't have that ability myself, so I want to serve the emperor well...

Zhang Fu touched Ma He quietly, and said in a low voice, "You dare to wear this clothes, you are not afraid of losing your head! Not to mention, you are very energetic... It is worth losing your head!"

Qu Tao looked at Ma He out of the corner of his eye, nodded slightly, and Ma He responded in the same way.

Zhang Fu said again, "Hey, it's still a paper armor. It's precious. Where did you steal it? How about we exchange it?"

The position they occupy is several steps away from His Majesty, and even farther away from those foreign envoys, who can't hear them at all.

But etiquette is etiquette, you can't mess with the rules!
So Qu Tao frowned slightly, and shouted in a low voice: "Don't lose your dignity in front of the palace!"

Only then did Zhang Fu shut up resentfully, not daring to say anything.

He also knew that Ma He's pulp armor was definitely not stolen. Which eunuch dared to steal the armor and still wear it to His Majesty who is heavily guarded?
Isn't this the old birthday star hanged himself, because he thinks his life is too long!

Ouchi Yoshihiro knew that he was not welcome here, so he retreated under the pretext of feeling unwell.

If you stay any longer, there may not be any complaints!

For his self-knowledge, the envoys of various countries lost the target of the accusation, and their emotions gradually stabilized.

Now that we are talking about bandits at sea, Daming, as the suzerain state, cannot protect the interests and territory of the vassal states well, which really affects the majesty of Daming as the "big brother in charge".

In addition to the Japanese pirates, there are also some large pirate gangs, and their infringement on Ming Dynasty and the countries in Southeast Asia cannot be underestimated.

Knowing that even if Daming doesn't say it, they will bring it up,
So Zhu Yunxie took the initiative to say generously: "Everyone, regarding the Japanese pirates' actions, from now on, Daming will definitely inform the Japanese slave country, let them restrain their own people, and stop allowing the thieves to make trouble!

However, there are not only Japanese pirates, but also pirates at sea.
As far as I know, Chen Zuyi, who is entrenched in the Bolin State and proclaimed himself king, is also a great disaster. Over the years, you have been robbed by Chen Zuyi a lot, and you must also hate him.

Ma He, tell me about Chen Zuyi! "

Ma He was wearing armor at this time, with a knife on his waist, and riding boots on his feet. In addition, he was tall and upright.

In the eyes of everyone, it is a majestic general!

Heroic and compelling!

Like a reader at a certain point!
Under Zhu Yunxi's suggestion, Ma He had already begun to study the customs and customs of the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty a few years ago, including their topography, product characteristics,

As well as the different power groups in various countries, of course, this also includes the closeness and closeness between the countries, and what are the origins.

For Ma He, these things are at his fingertips, and there is no embarrassment at all!
"Yes!"

After Ma He saluted, he turned to face the envoys of the various countries without the slightest timidity, and said, "Everyone, Chen Zuyi was originally a criminal.

He became a general under King Manazhe Wuli. After the death of the king, he gathered a group of pirates and made himself king, becoming the king of Bolin State.

Under his command, there are over 50 minions and nearly [-] warships, and they are dispatched in groups at every turn. He plundered more than [-] passing ships and captured more than [-] coastal towns...

As long as Chen Zuyi and his men go, all the business property, but all the previous things will be robbed by them, all the people will be slaughtered, and all the village buildings will be burned to ashes by him..."

Chen Zuyi's ancestral home is Chaozhou, Guangdong. During the Hongwu period, his family fled to Nanyang and entered the sea as pirates.

At its peak, there were more than [-] members, and they were active in Japan, the South China Sea, and the Indian Ocean.

Some countries in Nanyang even paid tribute to him. Zhu Yuanzhang once offered a reward of 50 taels of silver to capture him. During the Yongle period, the reward was as high as 750 million taels!
At that time, the annual fiscal revenue of the Ming government was only 100 million taels, which also made Chen Zuyi the most wanted criminal with the highest reward in history.

Many historians once believed that the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang adopted a closed-door policy to overseas countries and abolished the Shibo Department was largely due to the rampant pirates and rebellion against Japanese pirates!

Historically, Chen Zuyi also went to pay tribute to Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty, but he set off with an empty boat, robbing all the way, giving what he got, and returning home without fail.

What angered Zhu Di the most was that he not only robbed the ships of the small western countries, but even dared to rob the envoys of the Ming Dynasty!
What's more, the policy of "three alls" is implemented, robbing everything, killing everything and burning everything, leaving no survivors or villages and towns wherever they go!That's why Zhu Di set up a high reward.

In the fifth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, he surrendered to Zheng He. Zheng He saw through his plot and launched a surprise attack with ingenious tactics, killing more than 5000 pirates on the spot and capturing Chen Zuyi alive.

In September of the fifth year of Yongle, Zheng He returned to Daming and escorted Chen Zuyi back to the imperial court. Zhu Di ordered Chen Zuyi to be killed in front of envoys from various countries, and beheaded in public as a warning to others.

As soon as Ma He finished speaking, the Sumatran envoy knelt down on the ground and pleaded in pain: "Long live the Emperor of Ming Dynasty! Your Majesty, last year Chen Zuyi led more than [-] warships to plunder our country's property. The prince led troops and horses to fight against them.

After being captured by them, he shaved off his flesh and blood, and even his head was used as a wine vessel by them. From all over Sumatra, there is no way to avenge any grudges. Let the Emperor of Ming be the master! "

The Siamese envoy also said, "Your Majesty, Chen Zuyi leads troops to attack and plunder Siam five or six times a year, and each time a large number of people are slaughtered by him. Be the master, eradicate this bandit!"

The envoy of the Java State also said: "Your Majesty, Chen Zuyi led the pirates to plunder our country frequently. Our country is originally small and there are not many people. He has a tough attitude and has come to plunder many times.
And threatened the king of our country to pay tribute to Chen Zuyi, extorting a lot of property every year, if not, they will be madly retaliated by them,
Many people died because of this, and there is really no way to go down to the country, so I have to compromise with them... Please forgive me, Your Majesty!I also ask Your Majesty to uphold justice for the next country! "

Envoys from Panheng Kingdom (now the Malay Peninsula), Baihua Kingdom (now the northwest of Sumatra Island), Sanfuqi Kingdom (now Palembang, Sumatra Island), Boni Kingdom (Brunei) and other countries also complained.

Chen Zuyi ran rampant in the West, and those countries in the South Seas were all poisoned by him, otherwise Daming would not have offered so much money!
Zhu Yunxi said: "My dear friends, please be safe and don't be impatient!"

Pointing to the table, the credentials sent by the envoys of various countries, and said to them: "I have read all the credentials sent by you!
I already know something about the actions of Chen Zuyi and other bandits in Western countries. Please rest assured that the Ming Dynasty will never ignore this matter. Chen Zuyi will definitely be eradicated and justice will be given to all countries! "

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yunxi's words quickly received gratitude and responses from envoys from various countries!
If he wasn't born in that era and didn't live in the local area, it's hard to imagine that a robber who stole the country and made himself king could cause such great harm in the West!
Make such a big splash!
The reason why Zhu Yunxi took the initiative to mention Chen Zuyi today is because the envoys of various countries are accusing Chen Zuyi of robbery in their letters of credence!

The reason for their complaint is that Daming is the suzerain state of all foreign states and has the responsibility to protect the safety of the younger brothers.

Otherwise, what is the reason for people to bow down to you?
Don't you expect the elder brother to take care of the younger brother?

The second reason is because Chen Zuyi was originally from Daming!
Chen Zuyi's ancestral home was in Guangdong, but he escaped from Daming and became a disaster at sea!
If the countries don't look for you, Daming, who else can they look for?

Although there was a banquet for the envoys today, Zhu Yunxi did not accompany them.

Instead, Shaoqing of Honglu Temple and Minister of Rites Ren Hengtai were arranged to entertain him.

Since Zhu Yunxi had given them reassurance, the envoys from various countries were satisfied, beaming with joy, eating and drinking happily.

"My lord, please have some tea."

Back in Jinshen Hall, Wang Zhong brought a cup of tea, and Zhu Yunxi drank a few sips to moisten his throat.

"Slave Ma He, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Ma He, wearing armor, saluted and said.

"Ah."

Zhu Yunxie said approvingly: "This armor fits you very well, and you have the appearance of a general. Presumably those foreign envoys think you are a general of soldiers and horses."

Ma He was a little embarrassed, and said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, this servant will take off now..."

Zhu Yunxi raised his hand to stop it, and Ma He also felt that it was inappropriate to go to the armor now, so he stopped.
