Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

As for what else was written at the back of the letter, Chu Ze just glanced at it very quickly.

well.

The content written in the last part is just another flattery to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Chu Ze secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, half of the letter didn't mention himself, otherwise he would really have to go in vertically and go out horizontally.

Chu Ze silently returned the letter.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, Zhu Xi grabbed it.

"Father, let's take a look too."

He also wanted to see what was written in the letter that made Chu Ze almost change his face on the spot.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand in disgust, letting him do as he pleased.

Zhu Di also approached.

When they saw the third part, they all raised their heads and glanced at Chu Ze sympathetically and worriedly.

They finally understood why Chu Ze's face suddenly changed.

Even for them, their hearts jumped into their throats.

Fortunately, the King of Ryukyu still knew the importance, and his last words somewhat saved Chu Ze's life.

Otherwise, Chu Ze would be really in danger this time.

After they read the letter, they returned it to Zhu Yuanzhang's desk.

"Father, what this Ryukyu King said is false at first glance." Zhu Ping was the first to speak out, accusing, "The turmoil in Ryukyu is true, but our envoys are not without protection from their entourage, even if they restrict the envoys' access. , then there’s no need to threaten them with sending fake letters, right?”

Zhu Xiang opened his mouth. He wanted to say something else, but finally closed his mouth.

Because I was afraid that I might accidentally say the wrong thing, and in the end not only failed to help Chu Ze, but actually harmed Chu Ze.

Then he might regret it in the future and get up in the middle of the night and give himself a few slaps.

Zhu Di also said: "What the second brother said is true. Who protects the envoy and threatens the envoy to write false letters?"

Not to mention being an envoy, even ordinary family interactions would not be like this.

Ryukyu is clearly provoking.

If you write such a letter deliberately now, you probably want to cause some trouble.

And it’s also related to Chu Ze.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have specifically set aside a section of the letter, and left nothing else there except Chu Ze.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not answer them immediately, but looked at Chu Ze.

"What do you think?"

Chu Ze pondered for a moment and replied: "We don't know either, but one thing is for sure. The King of Ryukyu is by no means as honest as what he wrote in his letter. But what exactly he wants to do, then we can't guess."

Zhu Biao nodded: "Not bad."

Don't look at the words and sentences in this letter, which are very respectful.

But Zhu Biao could clearly feel that the other party was just respectful on the outside and cowardly on the inside.

His thoughts coincided with Zhu Di's, and they both believed that the purpose of the Ryukyu King was Chu Ze.

As for what it is for, they haven't thought about it yet.

Zhu Yuanzhang can naturally see the problems that they can all see.

He said: "We are just asking if you think we should agree to his request and let Chu Ze take over the mine."

"That's definitely not possible!"

Do you still need to think about this question?
Zhu Xi was the first to disagree.

Zhu Di and Zhu Biao also disagreed: "Ryukyu is too dangerous now. If Chu Ze is allowed to go, the consequences will be unpredictable."

"Yes, brother is right."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at them, then looked at Chu Ze and asked, "What do you think?" If asked what Chu Ze's true thoughts were, he naturally wanted to leave Yingtian.

Now he and Zhu Yuanzhang maintain a strange balance.

On the surface, everything looks fine.

But beneath the calm, there is an undercurrent.

If possible, Chu Ze would like to leave this lake with turbulent undercurrents temporarily.

But Zhu Biao and others said he couldn't go, and he had to insist on going. Maybe Zhu Yuanzhang would suspect that he wanted to go and never come back.

You might even think that he wants to go to Ryukyu and re-establish a country.

If that's the case, then he's really in danger.

Therefore, Chu Ze was determined not to say that he wanted to go.

Chu Ze said with difficulty: "Although the King of Ryukyu's goal is us, we believe that we, the great China, must never compromise for his small island country. Doesn't he want the emperor to send us? Then we will choose Instead of going, send another person over to take care of the mineral veins, and I’m afraid the King of Ryukyu won’t dare to say anything.”

But Chu Ze felt that the other party was likely to be obedient and disloyal.

Their target is themselves, and if they don't come out, the other party will never hand over the mineral veins easily.

If they hand it over, it means that their goal is not themselves.

Then it doesn't matter whether you go or not.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought so too.

But the starting point is different from Chu Ze.

Chu Ze was worried that Zhu Yuanzhang would be suspicious, but Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't stand the praise the King of Ryukyu had given Chu Ze in his letter.

His relationship with Chu Ze was tense these days.

If Chu Ze is allowed to leave the Ming Dynasty now, if this kid is really persuaded by the King of Ryukyu and wants to stay in Ryukyu, wouldn't that be a great loss to the Ming Dynasty?
If you think about it, you must never let Chu Ze go.

Who can I send?
The three Zhu Biao brothers each proposed several candidates, but in the end they were all rejected by Zhu Yuanping.

He said: "We have to think about the choice again. But first we have to let Ryukyu release the envoys we sent before."

It would be fine if Ryukyu released it.

But if they don't let go, don't blame Zhu Yuanzhang for using force again.

I don't know what he thought of, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was heavy for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

Zhu Yuanzhang wrote the letter and gave it to his chamberlain, who immediately sent it to Ryukyu with his subordinates.

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished handling these matters, Chu Ze spoke again: "Your Majesty, we have a small request. Please grant it."

Is he making a request at this time?
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Tell me about it."

"It is clear that our mine has been successfully made and has been tested in rivers, but it has not been tested in the sea. We would like to ask the emperor's permission to let people from the testing site take the mine to the beach to test the mine." Chu Ze He said his request in one breath.

Zhu Yuanzhang still thought Chu Ze was going to say something.

It was this.

"Didn't you say that it has been tested in the water? Why go to the beach?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, somewhat disapproving.

This time it was not Chu Ze who spoke, but Zhu Ping.

He immediately broke down the conversation Chu Ze had told them about earlier and explained it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

It is said that father and son are connected.

Chu Ze saw it today.

Zhu Yuanzhang actually understood Zhu Yuanzhang's explanation, but he didn't even understand it.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang also came to a correct conclusion: "So, if this mine is to be used in the sea, it must go through this test?"

Chu Ze nodded: "Yes."

"In that case, let's go. You ask them to report the list of test personnel and the number of mines they carry, and we will send someone to send them there." Zhu Yuanzhang answered cheerfully, but there was a lot of confusion in his words. I am worried.

Chu Ze nodded understandingly. (End of chapter)
