Traveling through the heavens from the prequel of the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 807: You, you are just like your mother said, you are naughty and you will be punished.

When Cheng Shaoshang saw Zhu Di looking at her expressionlessly and not interrupting him, he couldn't help but let go and said openly:

"Also, they all say that small countries are poor, but as the saying goes, a rotten ship still has three pounds of nails. There must be some things that our Ming Dynasty does not have. If we simply conquer them all, I still don't believe that these small countries are really that poor."

"After all, there are always many people in the world who like to pretend to be poor in order to take advantage of others."

"I see that these Japanese people have this kind of character. They are robbing by nature, love to take advantage, fear power but not morality, and have small courtesy but no great righteousness."

"But having said that, if these small barbarian countries become my subjects of the Ming Dynasty, it is also a blessing they have cultivated for several lifetimes. Just like the emperor went to the north, they should be beaten to the ground and let them cry and shout. I, the people of Ming Dynasty."

"In the past, Genghis Khan was able to use all the Mongolian tribes to conquer a huge territory. The emperor's wisdom and martial prowess are far superior to Genghis Khan's origins as a barbarian. It is time to conquer the Han Dynasty where the sun and moon shine and the rivers reach. This is a prosperous age that has never happened before. .”

As soon as she finished speaking, she added with some concern:

"Well, my mother has always said that she has a naughty temperament, does not understand the rules, and will retaliate. Please don't take offense, Your Majesty. Even if you ask me, I don't dare to hide it. I will say whatever comes to my mind."

Zhu Di laughed loudly:

"If you are good enough, you should be the one who shines under the sun and the moon. Wherever the rivers come, all are Han lands. There has never been a prosperous age in the past. With your spirit, if you are not a daughter, I will definitely use you again."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shaoshang scratched the back of his head, couldn't help but laugh, and then said dubiously:

"Really? This is the first time I heard someone other than my father praise me."

Zhu Di also laughed heartily and ordered:

“Bring me my silver cup and give you wine.”

Cheng Shaoshang saw a great eunuch walking up to him carrying a silver cup on the case tray, and couldn't help but ask:

"Your Majesty, my mother never taught me the rules of the palace. In her opinion, I will never have anything to do with the palace in my life. So, at this time, I should bow and thank you, right?"

Zhu Di's smile became even stronger:

"There's no need to be polite here. What you just said was deeply appreciated by me."

Below, the three brothers Zhu Gaochi walked up to Yang Jiao and Zhu Zhanji holding wine cups.

"The emperor actually gave me a drink. What a good girl she is. Zhan He, where did you find this?" Zhu Gaochi was the first to speak.

Yang Jiao said calmly:

"I met her when I was having some free time. I saw that she was not at all gentle and demure like an ordinary girl, so I found her quite interesting. It was like we felt like old friends at first sight."

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he immediately shouted:

"It's good to feel like old friends at the first sight. After so many years, I haven't seen you get close to any girl. Now you finally have it. After I return home, I will let your mother make arrangements."

Yang Jiao frowned slightly:

"Dad, is it necessary to be in such a hurry? My cousin hasn't even started the draft yet."

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand:

"Your cousin's father is a prince, so of course the emperor has to worry about him, and you are the heir apparent to me, Prince Han, so of course your mother and I have to worry about you, so you don't have to worry about it."

Zhu Gaosui looked at Cheng Shaoshang's generous appearance on the high platform, drinking it all in one gulp, and said with a smile:

"Zhan He, your father is right. This girl is indeed good. She is not a weak girl at first glance. She is really suitable for the Han Dynasty Palace."

Yang Jiao immediately fell silent.

"Very heroic, what's your name?" Zhu Di saw Cheng Shaoshang finish his drink in one breath.

"Your Majesty, my name is Cheng Shaoshang."

"What about you, what's your name?" Zhu Di turned around and asked again.

"Your Majesty, my name is Sun Ruowei."

Zhu Di nodded and began to summon the Wuliangwei envoys again.

The envoy Wu Liangwei opened his mouth to ask for the land outside Shanhaiguan, but was immediately interrupted by Zhu Di and shouted back.

Zhu Di looked at Sun Ruowei:

"I think he's a little rebellious."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhu Di said in a relaxed tone:

"After a few years of personal expedition again, and the problem of Arutai harassing the Ming Dynasty completely resolved, should we also take care of the Wu Liangwei?"

Sun Ruowei laughed inexplicably.

Zhu Di looked sideways and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Sun Ruo slightly lowered his eyebrows and said:

"Just do it the way you did it."

Zhu Di asked curiously:

"What can I do?"

Sun Ruowei whispered:

“Either don’t do it or never do it.”

Zhu Di also smiled:

"Haha, it's really you. No one dares to say that. Girl, you are so courageous."

Cheng Shaoshang said curiously:

"Your Majesty, is Sister Sun talking about the Battle of Jingnan? Although I was still young back then, I had heard of it. What's wrong with doing it?"

"Since we are an enemy and have a knife held to our neck, why can't we resist? There is no such truth in the world. If it were me, I would stand up like the emperor and resist. Regardless of victory or defeat, I would bite off a piece of the enemy's flesh. .”

"Besides, if we don't deal with those ministers who are disobedient to the emperor, I'm afraid that the world will be in chaos again. That will be the real peace. Furthermore, Tang Taizong killed his brother and imprisoned his father, which is not the same as becoming a wise king."

She spoke firmly:

"Your Majesty, let me tell you, even if the whole world thinks you are wrong, I still think you are right. I have always been petty and will always use the same means to retaliate against those who want to harm me."

Zhu Di said loudly:

"You, you are just like your mother said, you are naughty and you will be punished."

Although he said this, there was no hint of blame in his tone.

At this moment, a crossbow arrow quickly penetrated Zhu Di's robe, and Cheng Shaoshang and Sun Ruowei blocked in front of Zhu Di.

In an instant, a man dressed as a Wuliangwei was kicked hard and flew out.

Immediately, the word "protect" was heard from the high platform.

The three brothers Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji rushed towards the high platform.

After Yang Jiao kicked away the assassin from Wuliangwei, he asked the surrounding guards to restrain Wuliangwei in the courtyard.

Afterwards, he also walked towards the high platform and passed the many guards on guard. He saw the three brothers Zhu Gaochi greeting Zhu Di while the two women stood aside.

He walked to Cheng Shaoshang and said:

"You are very courageous. You actually want to defend yourself against the assassin's hidden arrows."

Cheng Shaoshang said in shock:

"I just thought the Emperor was very good, so I got confused and stood in front of the Emperor."

Facing the concern of the three brothers Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Di did not show any expression. He suddenly spoke:

"Zhanji, Zhanhe, you two send Miss Sun and Miss Cheng back first. Remember to ask the imperial doctor to take a look at them."

After that, he turned and left.

What could the three Zhu Gaochi brothers do about this? They first ordered everyone in the courtyard to be controlled, and then hurriedly caught up with their father.

Zhu Zhanji walked up to Yang Jiao:

"Zhan He, where does this Miss Cheng live? I will directly ask the imperial doctor to visit her house."

Before Yang Jiao could reply, Cheng Shaoshang said:

"Your Highness, the imperial doctor is no longer needed. I'm fine."

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said:

"This is an errand ordered by the emperor. If you don't do it, it will be a serious crime of disobedience."

When Cheng Shaoshang heard this, he was so frightened that he froze in place.
