At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 150
Zhu Qizhen was very enthusiastic to keep the two Zhancheng envoys, and arranged for the imperial dining room to serve a table of dishes.

These two people have helped a lot, if not for that, how could those civil servants Qingliu give up so easily.

"Don't be too polite, you two. My Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette. As the saying goes, guests come with good wine, and enemies with swordsmen. The Champa Kingdom has been loyal to Daming over the years. I will never ignore your affairs!"

Mohagui and Xuanzhen looked at each other, why did they feel that the emperor had something to say?

Seeing the reserved looks of the two, Zhu Qizhen still greeted enthusiastically: "Come on, move your chopsticks, um... You should know how to use chopsticks, right?"

Xuan Zhen whispered something in Mohegui's ear, and Mohegui picked up the chopsticks, and then murmured something.

Immediately afterwards, Xuan Zhen translated: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty said..."

Zhu Qizhen raised his hand suddenly and interrupted him.

"In my Ming Dynasty, there is a law called the crime of deceiving the emperor. Do you know what it means?"

Xuanzhen's face suddenly changed, and she was about to translate in Mahegui's ear, but Zhu Qizhen continued to say: "Stop translating, I'm talking about you!"

The scene was suddenly a little awkward, and Mohegui was a little confused, so he started talking again, as if he was asking what happened to Xuanzhen.

Xuan Zhen didn't answer, just stood up from the seat, then knelt down slowly.

"It's a long journey from Zhancheng to Daming, the sea is full of bandits, and Annan is chasing soldiers on the way. The little girl had to dress up as a man. She didn't intend to deceive the emperor. Please forgive me."

As she spoke, she took off her headscarf, revealing her true colors.

Mohagui already understood what happened, so he hurriedly knelt beside him and chatted.

Zhu Qizhen didn't understand Zhancheng language, so he ignored him, but continued to ask: "Is that all?"

"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from the emperor's eyes!"

Xuanzhen smiled wryly, and said: "Princess Champa Xuanzhen, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Ming!"

It turned out that among the two, Xuan Zhen was the right one.

Although Mohegui is also a member of the royal family, he already belongs to the collateral line of the royal family, so his status is naturally not as good as Xuanzhen's.

Jin Yiwei deployed a large number of spies in Quanzhou and Fuzhou. Since the two men landed, their every move has been under the surveillance of Jin Yiwei.

The two of them didn't know yet that Jin Yiwei was secretly escorting them along the way. If it wasn't for this, it would be hard to say whether they could reach the capital smoothly.

After all, An Nanguo also had spies operating in Daming, so if he wanted to intercept and kill two people along the way, it would not be difficult.

Seeing that the other party was willing to confess, Zhu Qizhen did not pursue any crime of deceiving the emperor.

"Since you can meet each other honestly, I'm not a stingy person, that's all right, get up!"

Xuanzhen kowtowed to express her gratitude, and then stood up slowly. Seeing this, Mohegui also stood up.

Zhu Qizhen said with a half-smile: "I know your difficulties, but you should remember that if you dare to play tricks in front of me, you will be the ones who regret it!"

Xuan Zhen hurriedly replied: "The little girl is convicted!"

The dinner continued, but the atmosphere became weird.

The two of them who were relatively restrained did not dare to show their air.

Zhu Qizhen took a bite of the food and joked, "Why, can't you get used to my Ming's food?"

Mohegui didn't understand Chinese, so he stared straight at Xuanzhen, waiting for her to translate.

Xuanzhen replied directly: "Your Majesty is joking, Ming Dynasty is a kingdom of heaven, and even the food is much more delicious than Champa, but...my minister is worried about the safety of her father and has no appetite. Please forgive me."

"I told you, Daming won't sit idly by and ignore your affairs!"

"But, father, he...he..."

As she spoke, Princess Xuanzhen burst into tears.

Zhu Qizhen said helplessly: "Didn't you see it just now? I have already ordered the cabinet to draft an edict. Next, King Jing'an will personally take the edict to Annan Kingdom. If they don't listen, I will send troops south to take Their king is taken too!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty... the little girl has nothing to repay, but... only..."

Princess Xuanzhen was crying, but Mohegui looked confused, he didn't know what the two were talking about, the one holding the chopsticks was held in the air, and he didn't dare to move when he wanted to pick up food.

Zhu Qizhen put the chopsticks on the table and said: "Don't say thank you anymore. I will take care of your affairs, but I can't make a fuss in vain. After repelling the foreign enemies, you also have to promise me a deal." thing."

Princess Xuanzhen hurriedly said: "Please speak, Your Majesty!"

"I'm already making preparations to resume voyages to the Western Seas. You occupy the city and take advantage of the location. I want a port for the fleet to resupply!"

Princess Xuanzhen was stunned for a moment, and whispered something in Mohegui's ear, after Mohegui listened, he nodded quickly.

"I don't know which port the emperor wants?"

Zhu Qizhen smiled slightly, and spit out three words: "Saigon Port!"

Saigon Port is located in the northeast of the Mekong Delta, on the lower reaches of the Saigon River, a tributary of the Dong Nai River. Its geographical location is just like Shanghai Port, and it is a good natural port.

The area of ​​Champa is located in Nanyang. At that time, they knew the importance of Saigon Port, and when they heard the request from the other side, they immediately showed hesitation.

The two chattered again, and then Princess Xuanzhen said: "The matter is of great importance, can the emperor allow me to discuss it with the ministers after returning to the country?"

Zhu Qizhen's face suddenly changed, and he said dissatisfiedly: "You can discuss it as much as you can, and let Yu Zhen know the result after the discussion!"

Princess Xuanzhen cautiously asked: "Then...thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Qizhen said disapprovingly: "It is not a trivial matter to mediate the conflict between Annan and Champa. I also need to call a group of ministers to discuss it carefully. You say, don't you?"

"emperor……"

Princess Xuanzhen turned pale with shock, and hurriedly said: "You just promised..."

"I didn't say no!"

Zhu Qizhen sneered and said, "It's just that when to set off, you need to carefully consider it before making a decision!"

Just kidding, your country is almost wiped out, and you still can't bear a port?
You can't let my soldiers and horses of Ming Dynasty make a fuss in vain!

Mohagui looked at Princess Xuanzhen suspiciously, as if asking, what's going on?
Princess Xuanzhen frowned, thought for a while, and finally made up her mind.

"Saigon Port can be given to Daming!"

"You count?"

"count!"

"Don't you need to go back and discuss?"

"no need!"

It wasn't until this moment that she realized that she was asking for help from others. If those ministers objected, wouldn't her father never come back?

If Champa is destroyed, those ministers only need to change their titles, and they can continue to enjoy high officials and generous salaries. However, the fate of the Champa royal family can only end here.

At that time, all royal bloodlines will be hunted down, and this family will completely disappear from the world.

"it is good!"

Zhu Qizhen finally smiled with satisfaction, waved his hand and said: "Jin Ying, go and call a Hanlin to come over and draw up a treaty!"
