Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

Chapter 326: Ayutthaya’s invasion of you has nothing to do with me, Suphanburi?
The wedding procession, headed by Zhu Gang, wore red clothes and red pants.

Carrying various red boxes, red tables, red chairs, and red cabinets, they walked at the front of the team.

There is also a red dragon and phoenix sedan chair, accompanied by a gong and drum team, walking in the ancient alley.

The procession carrying the dowry stretched from the imperial palace all the way to Prince Jin's mansion.

The entire wedding procession looked like a golden dragon in a red robe.

The scene along the way was very spectacular.

The assassins sent out by the Jiangnan Family Alliance to carry out the mission all chose to return to their base and continue to hide their whereabouts.

At the same time, Zhang Long, commander of the Hidden Dragon Guard, took out a carrier pigeon from his sleeve and released it.

About a cup of tea later, the prince's eunuch Li Heng took the bamboo tube off the pigeon's leg and then walked quickly towards the Fengtian Hall.

"Lord Wang, how many envoys from vassal states are still outside the Fengtian Palace and have yet to see the emperor?"

When Wang Jinghong heard Zhu Biao asking him a question, he bowed and said, "Your Highness, the others call me that to give me face.

If you call me that, you are really embarrassing me!"

Although the eunuch working in the official school was a new position, no matter which one was used, "Imperial Envoy" or "Governor-General", they could be regarded as high-ranking officials of the court.

The highest position a eunuch in charge of specific affairs could reach in the imperial palace was, at most, a fourth-rank eunuch.

The positions above that are basically sinecure.

Even if there are additional beautiful prefixes such as general manager, before the emperor, before the palace, leader, in charge, and in charge, they just sound nice.

In Wang Jinghong's view, eunuchs who are not responsible for specific affairs have no real power in the palace.

Zhu Biao’s current status as the Crown Prince Regent is equivalent to that of the Executive Vice Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Now he has the privilege of wearing dragon robes and sitting on the dragon throne. No one knows whether one day Zhu Yuanzhang will suddenly announce his abdication and become the emperor emeritus.

In this situation, Wang Jinghong could only treat Zhu Biao as the emperor.

Zhu Biao saw through Wang Jinghong's thoughts at a glance, "My third brother once said that there is an important reason for the fall of dynasties since ancient times, that is, there are too many people who do not work but only take money.

I hope that the eunuchs coming out of the inner study hall are all capable people."

Wang Jinghong said solemnly: "As long as it is something that your majesty and the crown prince have instructed me to do, I will do my best to do it and will never let you down!"

At this moment, the Prince's eunuch Li Heng walked in from outside the Fengtian Hall with a small bamboo tube in his hand.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince has received news from Commander Zhang of the Hidden Dragon Guards."

After taking the paper out of the bamboo tube, Zhu Biao took out a book from under the dragon throne and slowly unfolded the paper.

Only after all the Morse codes were deciphered did he look up at Wang Jinghong and say, "Eunuch Wang, go and pass on the imperial decree immediately to suspend the audience with the remaining vassal states.

After lunch, let the envoys from the sixty-one countries of the Southeast Yi gather on the city wall of Shangyuan County."

Although it was not easy to build city walls in ancient times, in fact the city walls of the Ming Dynasty were not short.

Taking the largest extant Nanjing city wall as an example, the highest point is about 20 meters, and the shortest point is more than 10 meters.

Although the city wall of Xi'an is not as tall as that of Nanjing, it is still 4 meters high on average. If we calculate it based on meters per floor, even the city wall of Xi'an is at least as high as floors, which was not considered short in ancient times.

As for the Nanjing city wall, its construction began in the 17th year of Zhizheng, and now it is the 10th year of Hongwu, and it is still not even half completed.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Biao could only ask the envoys from the 61 countries of the Southeastern Yi to gather on the city wall of Shangyuan County.

After receiving the imperial edict, Prince Nakhon Ying of Suphanburi, Siam, said in bewilderment: "The upper country always does things unexpectedly. I don't know what shocking things will happen next."

The Lanna envoy said proudly: "As early as the second year of Zhishun, I, Lanna, became a chieftain of the Central Plains Dynasty.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty has already agreed to re-establish the Eight Hundred and Other Places Xuanwei Office.

If you, Ayutthaya, want to invade Lanna again, it would be tantamount to openly opposing the superior country. I hope the envoy will take care of himself!"

In the first year of Hongwu, Lanna helped Sukhothai resist the invasion of Ayutthaya, and was invaded in retaliation by Ayutthaya.

Later, the Sukhothai people betrayed their loyalty and launched a counterattack against Lanna, causing Lanna to suffer heavy losses.

In addition, the Luchuan regime of Mengmu also invaded Lanna many times.

They seized Kengtung, which originally belonged to Lanna, and the two sides began to fight each other endlessly.

But what Kong Ying didn’t quite understand was, what does Ayutthaya’s invasion of you have to do with my Suphan Buri?

However, in order to save the reputation of the Eight Hundred and Other Places Xuanwei Office, Na Kongying finally nodded and said, "It is a blessing for the Lanna people to be recognized by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Ming.

I hope you won’t do what you did in the first year of Yanyou, refusing to submit to the country on the surface, but using envoys to intimidate the troops of Payao and Kunkua to retreat.”

The Lanna envoy hurriedly explained: "Lanna was unstable at the time, and Khun Kwa, the brother of Khun Kwa, made a wrong decision, and we cannot let our king take the responsibility for him.

Besides, it is King Phayatana who is in charge of government affairs now, so it is impossible for the kind of thing you described to happen again!"

In fact, Na Kongying knew very well that whether Lanna surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, it was all for the sake of ensuring the peace of the northern border of the kingdom.

After all, this vassal state is currently surrounded by enemies on all sides. If it can find a powerful backer to rely on, it will probably perish like Sukhothai.

At this moment, Kong Ying suddenly remembered the reminder Wang Jinghong had given him before.

"Why would an envoy come to pay tribute to a vassal state that has already been destroyed?"

Could it be that the vassal state that has been destroyed is Sukhothai?
Following this line of thought, Kong Ying finally understood how the Sukhothai envoys had infiltrated the delegation of the sixty-two countries of the Southeast Yi.

But if Kong Ying's guess is true, Lanna has now become a chieftain of the Central Plains dynasty again, and it would be difficult for him to take action against the Sukhothai envoys.

Just when Kong Ying was in a dilemma, Zhu Biao, wearing a five-clawed dragon robe, appeared on the city wall accompanied by Wang Jinghong and others.

“I’m sure you are all very curious as to why I suddenly interrupted the audiences with the vassal states.

In fact, we are the most elite plate armor breakthrough troops of our Ming Dynasty. We are about to launch an actual combat military exercise. I would like to invite everyone to observe and guide us. "

As they were talking, several eunuchs handed out telescopes on trays to the envoys from vassal states who had already completed their audience with the emperor.

Looking at the single cylindrical refracting telescope in his hand, Kong Ying asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Your Highness, what is this thing you sent us, and how should we use it?"

Zhu Biao took a single cylindrical refracting telescope in his hand and explained while setting up the stand: "This thing is called a 'telescope'. Not only can you look up at the sky, but you can also see objects several miles away as if they were right in front of you!"
