Zhu Di tore a memorial to pieces. Several Hanlin ministers were so arrogant that they dared not let go and bowed down: "I deserve to die for all my crimes!"

Zhu Di said angrily: "Why didn't Yingtian Mansion take people immediately? What food do they make? The emperor killed people in the street and was so arrogant. Is this aware that I can bully?"

Xie Jin said: "Your Majesty, this matter is not clear at the moment. The pear seller bullies the Japanese people, and the price is a few more copper coins than other places. The Japanese people are resentful. In the humble opinion, the Japanese envoys can directly deal with this matter by themselves, and there is no need to make a big fuss. If the court asks the truth, the foreign countries will be disappointed. The Wei minister and the Japanese envoys have already negotiated, and they agree to severely punish those entourages who committed the crime..."

Zhu Di sneered: "If you talk nonsense, let them deal with it, it means there is no deal. I can't bear it anymore. How can I allow him to be arrogant? I issued an order, Yingtianfu took action directly, took the person first, and then did it."

Xie Jin and others dared not say much, and obediently said the wise and wise.

Half an hour later, a team of Yingtian Mansion officers surrounded the Honglu Temple and grabbed several Japanese people.

The Japanese envoy Ashikaga Yoshi was shocked. You should know that Japan is not a monolithic one. There are many internal daimyos. Every time they go on a mission, although they are led by the shogunate, some powerful daimyos also expect to get a share of the pie. Therefore, in addition to the chief envoy and deputy envoy, they also select many escorts, nominally assisting the chief envoy, but their real purpose is to come and get some benefits, such as bringing some goods to trade in the Ming Dynasty, etc.

The identities of the escorts who were taken were naturally not just the escorts. Two of them were "envoys" of the Japanese powerful men. Once they were taken by the Ming Dynasty, how would they explain to their return to China?

Ashikaga Yoshi hesitated for a while. In the end, through connections, he first went to consult a few Japanese merchants who were doing business in the Ming Dynasty. After guidance, he went to the East Palace to pay a visit.

Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi has now become a big celebrity. He has chariots and horses outside the Eastern Palace. Now he has not only confirmed the position of the crown prince, but also participated in government affairs. He is very popular. At this time, an eunuch came in and said, "Your Highness, the Japanese envoy Ashikaga Yoshi, seeking a visit."

Zhu Gaochi was looking at the government newspaper in the capital two days ago. Hearing this, he raised his eyes and said lightly: "Is it for the murder of yesterday? Tell them that I will not see you, so let them go back."

The eunuch looked at Zhu Gaochi deeply: "In his visit, it was said that Mr. Liu introduced it."

Mr. Liu...

Zhu Gaochi's eyes narrowed. Mr. Liu's identity was extraordinary. He was quite famous in the scholarly forests. Zhu Gaochi had no choice but to say, "Call in and talk."

Yoshi Ashikaga entrusted a lot of relationships. After learning about Zhu Gaochi's preferences, he spent a lot of money and finally asked someone to help. As for Mr. Liu, he was a famous scholar in Nanjing. He was well-known and received his recommendation letter. Yoshi Ashikaga was relieved.

After entering the Eastern Palace, he was led to a side hall by the eunuch. The Japanese envoy saw Zhu Gaochi who was standing tall behind the desk.

Although Zhu Gaochi was obese, he was wearing a python suit and a long-distance crown. He was so arrogant that he said casually: "Killing people to pay for their lives, owing debts and paying them back. This is the rule of the Ming Dynasty. Although you are a foreign country, you have been Muhua for a long time. How can you not even know this principle? I know your purpose, but I tell you that this Ming Dynasty is not your place to go wild. Your Majesty's hole is like a candle, how can you not see through your intentions? Now you want to plead for mercy on my head. Humph, it is simply a delusion. Today, the Japanese Palace saw you in front of Mr. Liu, but if you think this would be safe and sound, you would be wrong."

Ashikaga Yoshi was stupid. His IQ was obviously not enough. Because after being advised by others, His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince has always been willing to help others. This time, many Hanlin ministers did not want to take others. The Crown Prince was very close to the Hanlin people, so it was natural that His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince would help.

Ashikaga Yoshi had to say in bad Chinese: "Your Highness, this matter..."

Unexpectedly, Zhu Gaochi didn't buy it at all and sneered: "You don't have to argue about this matter. You are so kind to the Japanese. Instead, I am so kind to the Ming Dynasty, but I will repay my grudges and kill my people. It's simply outrageous. Please come back, and I am short of it."

Ashikaga Yoshi was stunned, but he refused to leave and wanted to speak. At this time, several guards from the East Palace had already brought their swords in, holding the hilt in his hand, and looked at him coldly.

Ashikaga Yoshi had no choice but to say angrily: "Go away." After that, he left with his sleeves.

Zhu Gaochi's face showed a little calmness, he smiled, and picked up the newspaper again.

But Ashikaga Yoshihide left the main hall and a eunuch led him out. Although Ashikaga Yoshi was unwilling to accept it, he did not dare to act rashly in such a place. Unexpectedly, the eunuch who led the way suddenly whispered: "Sir, I will tell you that your prince is wrong. I have offended you so much just now. I hope you don't have to worry about it."

Ashikaga Yoshi was stunned for a moment.

The eunuch said, "Your Highness said, Your Highness can understand the mood of yourselves. Unfortunately, Your Majesty is in a rage. It is useless to just plead with others. But there are ways to do everything. Half a month later, Your Majesty invites envoys from all over the country and the vassal kings to enter the palace to compete for swords. If you can take the opportunity to provoke and use the release of those Japanese envoys as a bet, with Your Majesty's good face, you will definitely not refuse in front of so many people. As for the final victory or defeat, whether your escort can be safe or not, it depends on your escort. Your Majesty can only help here. As for how you consider it, this is your essay's business. I will send you here and ask you back."

Ashikaga Yoshi was stunned for a moment and immediately became deeper. He always heard that people were good at planning and had no expression on their faces. Today, he really saw it. He nodded heavily and left quickly.

The eunuch immediately went back to report. When he saw the eunuch, Zhu Gaochi smiled and said, "Did you say it? How did this Japanese envoy say it?"

"When you say that to your highness, the Japanese envoy just nodded and didn't say much."

Zhu Gaochi said, "I know a little about the Japanese. They are eager to save people. On that day, they will definitely attack. Alas... My second brother likes to show off the limelight the most. He is eager to show off in front of his father. He will definitely volunteer at that time. Nine-headed ox will not pull him back. This is fine. The sword has no eyes. If he hurts him, it is because he is ungrateful. Even if he is not injured, he will be defeated and will just hit him with a blow. I have heard that the Japanese are brave and fierce, and the sword is sharp. I should use their hands to give the King of Han a little color. He should be treated as a matter of being too proud. He will definitely not be convinced if he loses, and he will not be ashamed to stay in the capital at that time..."

Zhu Gaochi stretched and said, "Parent Zhao, the words are not passed on to Liu Er. You know and I know at this time, and the Japanese envoy knows. Don't mention it to others again."

Zhao's partner responded, but said, "I'm afraid that the Japanese invaders will not be nervous."

Zhu Gaochi smiled and said, "Let him say he's going, others only know that I've scolded him here. Even if he's a Japanese man telling him about this matter, will his father and the people of the world believe me, or will he believe me? Others will only think that he's humiliated in this palace, so they use this to slander me. If he wants to bring humiliation to himself, then let him go."

A hint of coldness flashed through Zhu Gaochi's eyes and continued, "It was a brother after all. It was still useful to keep that second brother. The royal family should be harmonious; but he insisted on staying in the capital, and everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart, so it's no wonder that my brother is ruthless!"

A piece of news about the East Palace reached Zhu Di's desk. Zhu Di read the news tiredly, breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but say, "Well, the prince is still very popular with my heart. Although he is usually gentle, he is still a little bit aggressive when encountering problems. These Japanese people deserve to die. Say hello to Yingtian Mansion, all the murderers who killed people will be killed, and then I will give them to me to decide."

Zheng He responded.

Zhu Di leaned on the chair and continued, "How has Hao Fenglou been lately? There has been no news about this guy for a long time. I am really not used to it without this guy making some noises on the side."

Zheng He said: "It is said that eating and living in Zijin Mountain every day is peaceful."

Zhu Di smiled: "Your senior brother is rarely at peace, go and see what this guy has made on my behalf."

Zheng He nodded.

As for Hao Fenglou, he is still smelting iron every day. Iron is the mother of industry. Although Hao Fenglou is not interested in developing any industry, he also knows that once the materials pass, many interesting innovations and inventions of this era can be applied. For example, crossbows, crossbows have already existed, but because the materials are not up to standard, the development of crossbows has not made progress for hundreds of years after reaching its peak, and even regresses. In fact, many problems are materials, many mechanisms have a high demand for materials. If you want to make modern crossbows, the first thing is to refine better iron and make better wood. In addition, artillery, the artillery of modern significance has matured, but the problem is that because the cast iron technology of the cannon body is not up to standard, not only is the accuracy extremely poor, but the range is also unsatisfactory. No one can bear it.

Although there are applications, the real large-scale application has not been truly expanded. This is the biggest problem.
