The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1458

[1458.Chapter 1384 Even though he is far away, he will be killed]

After Guluozhi finished speaking, he felt a little regretful.

Then the Emperor of Ming Dynasty fell into silence.

Guluozhi felt even more uneasy.

After a long time, Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said: “Well, the Qing family should step back.”

His attitude was firm.

Guluozhi’s heart skipped a beat.

Everything stopped suddenly, there was neither thunder nor rain, but I don’t know what medicine Emperor Hongzhi was selling in his gourd.

The more so, the more worrying it is.

But he did not dare to neglect, and was busy saluting: “Your Majesty, I leave.”

After leaving Fengtian Hall, someone guided Guluo out of the palace and back to his residence in Honglu Temple.

It seemed…everything had calmed down.

He had just returned to Honglu Temple, but someone came to visit him.

This made Guluozhi feel disgusted.

At this moment, he was thinking about his duel with the Ming Emperor in the palace today.

He tried hard to recall the details of today, for fear of missing something.

As an envoy, he also shoulders the responsibility of spying on the movements of the Ming Dynasty.

But when I thought about it carefully, I found that there seemed to be nothing worthy of scrutiny.

Immediately, the companions from Honglu Temple arrived.

Envoys from Siam, Srivijaya, Aceh, and Bani all came.

Usually everyone lives in Honglu Temple, and we don’t see each other when we look up.

Moreover, we are all neighboring countries, and Ming Dynasty’s attitude towards Western countries is often the same, which also makes them move around more unconsciously.

Hearing that Guluozhi had been summoned by His Majesty the Emperor, all countries couldn’t help but raise their concerns and wanted to find out the Ming Dynasty’s attitude towards Zhenla Kingdom.

The seven or eight people came in and each saluted.

When they arrived in the Ming Dynasty, these envoys had already become accustomed to everything in the capital and enjoyed the benefits of the capital.

At this time, after everyone sat down, everyone drank tea as usual, and first learned to greet Han people.

It’s just, have you eaten?

The Siamese envoy coughed and couldn’t help but go straight to the point: “Brother Guluozhi, may I ask, the emperor summoned you this time, but it was because of the rumors about the Francois in the past few days.”

Guluozhi seemed to be confused about this. It was extremely taboo, but he saw other envoys looking at him one after another, with meaningful expressions on their faces.

Guluozhi had no choice but to say: “Yes.”

This could not be hidden from others. Even if they couldn’t find out from themselves, there were other channels.

The envoy from the Three Buddhas and Qi Kingdom took a sip of tea, but couldn’t help but said: “The Ming Dynasty court was furious.”

“That’s not true. The emperor has always been kind and cheerful. These are all rumors. Of course I will try my best to refute them.”

“In this way, the Ming Dynasty did not Are you surprised?”

Many people became excited.

If you are not offended by the Zhenla Kingdom, then…can your country try to get in touch with the Francois? The Francois obviously want to win over other countries. Although they are ambitious, if they can get benefits from it, It’s not a bad thing.

Gu Luozhi took a deep look at them and said: “The emperor’s face is not pretty, but…I dared to mention one thing.”

Everyone smiled, with a look of indifference on their faces. , but their hearts became tense. They needed to digest every piece of information and make a correct judgment.

Guluozhi continued: “I tell the emperor that although the Zhenla Kingdom is small, it has tens of thousands of armored soldiers, and it has the strength of mountains and rivers…”

At this point.

Many people suddenly said: “What?”

“Seriously said that? Doesn’t the emperor want Long Yan to be angry? Guluozhi, Guluozhi, you are reckless this time. Once such words are spoken, it will not be fun.

“Yes, you are an envoy to make friends with Ming Dynasty, not to make enemies with Ming Dynasty.”

Everyone

looked concerned and talked.

Guluozhi sneered in his heart.

How could they care about themselves and Zhenla Kingdom?

It’s just that I deliberately used this concern to find out more about what happened in front of and behind the scenes.

Zhenla Kingdom has aroused the resentment of the Ming Dynasty court, but Guluozhi also knows that the law does not punish the public.

If there was only one Zhenla country and it made peace with the Francois, the Ming Dynasty might target Zhenla. But if all the Western countries had such actions, then…

Guluozhi said with encouragement: “It’s just… The emperor didn’t seem to say anything about this. The current Emperor of Ming Dynasty is a generous emperor. Moreover, the Zhenla Kingdom was founded by force. Although it is a vassal, it is by no means weak and can be bullied. Everyone, it is the duty of envoys. , It’s not just about flattering the country, sometimes it also requires a bit of character.”

Everyone thought deeply, and seemed to feel that Lonely’s behavior was not unreasonable.

From this point of view, Daming’s tolerance is obviously more than he imagined.

When Guluozhi saw everyone’s eyes, he began to show admiration: “Actually… many things are not a big deal. Don’t always take it to your heart…”

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and his face began to turn red. Just now, he was still worried about contradicting the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, but now, he felt that it was really not a big deal. What could Ming Dynasty do, just because of some false rumors? Are you going to launch a war against Zhenla? If this is true, then morally speaking, it will lose its advantage. What’s more, Zhenla is by no means a soft persimmon. How much price does Ming intend to pay?

The envoys all had their own concerns and were constantly digesting the information in front of them.

Guluozhi got excited and patted his thigh. But at this moment, his entourage hurried in and saluted.

Gu Luozhi glanced at his entourage, who came to his side and took out a secret letter.

I guess this is news from the palace, sent urgently.

Gu Luozhi raised his head and glanced at the envoys.

Seeing this, these envoys seemed to know what was going on, but they all sat shamelessly and refused to leave.

It was not convenient for Guluozhi to catch up with the guests, so he opened the secret message subconsciously, with a deliberately calm smile on his face, revealing a calm and calm look.

Everyone craned their necks.

Or carefully observing Gu Luozhi’s expression.

Gu Luozhi smiled at first, but… suddenly his eyes became stiff.

Then, he frowned.

He seemed to have suddenly forgotten that there were guests around him, and couldn’t help but said angrily: “How dare Liu Wenshan, a mere Liu Wenshan, be so rude… This is Zhenla’s great shame and humiliation, hehe…hehe… my king will not kill this person… “

When the envoys heard the three words Liu Wenshan, they became more interested and raised their ears one by one.

Why, the king of Zhenla wants to kill Liu Wenshan?

If so, something big is going to happen.

Many people even began to feel faintly excited.

Anyway, it’s not a big deal to watch the fun.

But the next moment… Guluozhi’s face suddenly turned miserable.

His body trembled, and his eyes suddenly became dazed and lifeless. He couldn’t help but suddenly said hysterically: “It’s over, it’s over…”

His body was trembling continuously as he looked at the contents of the secret message.

Of course Liu Wenshan was not killed by the angry King Zhenla. Not only that, King Zhenla also laughed.

Laughed…

What frightened Guluozhi even more was that after laughing, there were also edicts about King Zhenla, and these edicts could almost all confirm one thing.

Zhenla Kingdom…is finished.

Since then…the so-called Zhenla has existed in name only.

Chenla Kingdom actually lost the power to make money.

Actually… he also gave up the right to trade.

Even… the national treasury actually relies entirely on loans from Xishan Bank.

Guluozhi shuddered, feeling desperate. Suddenly, he remembered something. Then, he stood up crazily, threw the secret letter aside, and said sternly: “I want to enter the palace and see the Ming Emperor. I want to enter the palace…”

He ran away like crazy.

The other envoys all looked astonished.

However, everyone was even more shocked when they saw Guluo running away while smoking.

They didn’t care about anything and hurriedly picked up the secret letter on the slip. The Siamese envoy picked it up and took a look. Then, his face turned sallow.

He slowly put down the secret message, and then looked around: “The Kingdom of Zhenla no longer exists.”

“Then… us… what about us?”

“Considering what happened before, I’m afraid…” Siam The envoy’s face showed pain…

The whole hall suddenly boiled, and everyone began to wait anxiously for the news.

………

In the Fengtian Palace.

Emperor Hongzhi looked very calm, and after the lonely man left, he looked pleasant and smiled.

But at this time, if His Majesty smiles, it may not be a good thing.

At least Fang Jifan felt that this…may be a sign before the thunder came.

Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a long time, seeming to make some kind of determination. After everyone was afraid to show up for more than half an hour, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly said: “Passengers from the Siyang Trading Company are trying their best to find out the map of Zhenla Kingdom. , to draw the map, every mountain and river must be marked, and there must be no mistakes.”

Fang Jifan dared to neglect: “I obey the order.”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: “I don’t like to use swords and guns. There are always many things in this world that make people feel helpless. That’s right, Successor, please recall your disciple Liu Wenshan. Since I have other methods, there is no need to keep him in the West, where… It’s not safe after all.”

Fang Jifan thought for a while and opened his mouth to say something.

But a eunuch came in a hurry: “Your Majesty… the Four Foreign Trading Firms reported to the General Administration Department that the situation was urgent and immediately sent it urgently.

“

“

Emperor Hongzhi was quite upset.

He really didn’t like to go to war, because war is a helpless act, and it is a method that has to be used after all other methods have failed.

After all, war means the loss of life, hatred, and hatred. Countless money and food were wasted.

Emperor Hongzhi opened his mouth: “Nian. “

“Yes.” The eunuch nodded, then picked up the report and said word for word: “Your Majesty, Liu Jin, kowtow…”

Liu Jin called himself a minister, not a slave, because he had already been awarded the title of earl.

It’s just… that it’s a little weird for a eunuch to call himself a minister.

Emperor Hongzhi closed his eyes and sat upright, pretending to be calm, but in his heart, he was very uneasy.

When the other ministers saw His Majesty acting like this, they naturally did not dare to express their anger.
