Chapter 79 Difficult task

Zhu Yunwen originally wanted to see Mu Ying off, but he called him to enter the palace with an imperial edict. This was really not the time. Zhu Yunwen could only say goodbye to Mu Ying in a hurry and entered the palace. He didn't have time to inquire about what happened, but just when Zhu Yunwen was about to arrive at the Palace of Supreme Harmony, he unexpectedly found that all the vassal kings had arrived. Judging from their grand appearance, they were going to meet some important figures.

"Grandpa Emperor, Jin'an!"

"No gifts and calmness!"

Zhu Yuanzhang changed his seriousness and grabbed Zhu Yunwen's hand. His enthusiasm made the vassal kings change their faces, but at this moment he announced something incredible to everyone.

"I announced that the task of receiving foreign envoys will be handed over to the prince to carry out, and the King of Yan is responsible for assisting the prince..."

"Grandpa Emperor..."

"Father..."

Zhu Yunwen and the King of Yan raised objections at the same time, but Zhu Yuanzhang blocked their mouths with no joke, and the princes were even more stunned. However, they did not dare to gloat. After all, whether it was King of Yan or Zhu Yunwen, they could not afford to provoke a partner.

"In five days, foreign envoys will arrive. You will be responsible for receiving me at that time. Remember that our Ming Dynasty is a great country, we must not be rude."

"Yes, Father." King Yan agreed first.

"Yunwen, what about you?"

"Grandpa Emperor, I will never let you down. I promise to let these foreign envoys know the power of our Ming Dynasty..."

Zhu Yunwen actually proposed a fireworks show. Although he was a little hurried, he could still get these fireworks out. The King of Yan was not willing to be with his descendants, so he actually prepared a singing and dancing performance. This was Zhu Yuanzhang's plan. Although he did not like the fight between King of Yan and Zhu Yunwen, these benign struggles were still indispensable.

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted loudly: "You all have to make some programs. The one who doesn't make a salary stop for a year, and the taxes for the fiefdom are all state-owned."

"Father..."

"It's useless to call it. If you can't get the show, just do it."

It was the turn of the vassal kings who had a headache. They asked Zhu Yunwen and the King of Yan to help each other, but in the end, Zhu Yunwen and the King of Yan came up with a solution to solve the problem. However, they did not know that this was actually Zhu Yuanzhang's plan.

"Your Majesty's plan is very wonderful!"

"Qi Tai, I don't want you to pat Ma Xuying now, I want you to stare at them..."

"Prince, please rest assured, I will report it immediately if there is anything."

"You must stare at Qi Tai, the prince and the king of Yan, if you know if it is."

"Yes, your Majesty."

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to use this plan to make Zhu Yunwen and the King of Yan get along well, and at least he could accept each other slowly, but Zhu Yuanzhang still thought things too simply. Even if they could work together, they would never let go of their hatred. The reason why they cooperated was to be a shame for the country and not let Zhu Yuanzhang lose face.

"Your Highness, I wonder what arrangements you have?"

"Uncle King Yan, why not do this. We will manage the entire banquet separately..."

"How to take charge?"

"I am more familiar with the diet of these foreign envoys, so I can be responsible for this..."

"Your Highness, you are responsible for your diet, so the singing and dancing performances will be held accountable by me and the vassal kings."

"This is enough to follow the arrangements of the King of Yan. I just need to arrange a fireworks show after the dinner."

Zhu Yunwen adopted a method of division of labor and cooperation. This method not only provides work efficiency but also allows each to act independently. This is a major reason for the plan that the King of Yan immediately agreed to. After all, you can act without looking at Zhu Yunwen's expression. In addition, the King of Yan manages the performance, which can also become a bargaining chip to win over other vassal kings.

"Your Highness, why should you give this great opportunity to the King of Yan?"

"Zhao Fei, I'll ask you a question..."

"Your Highness, what's the problem?"

"Zhao Fei, do you think I will be grateful to me for helping the princes?"

"Of course not." Zhao Fei answered without thinking.

Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, "I'd better do less of such thankless things. Besides, Uncle Yan seems to be happy to do it, so why should I argue with him?"

Zhu Yunwen's intelligence was not even enough for Zhao Fei to catch up with him. How could he understand Zhu Yunwen's intention? It turned out that Zhu Yunwen's actions were actually a concession and a warning, telling the King of Yan to know that he would advance or retreat, otherwise Zhu Yunwen would take action. The King of Yan certainly understood Zhu Yunwen's intention, and he readily accepted Zhu Yunwen's suggestions. Of course, this was not because he was afraid of Zhu Yunwen. The King of Yan did this just not want to humiliate the national system, but the most important thing was that he did not want to make Zhu Yuanzhang angry. What reason did they reach a consensus for, which was no longer important to Zhu Yuanzhang. They could work together to do something well, but this matter was far more difficult than they imagined. After all, it was not easy to prepare so many things in such a short time.

"Your Highness, does this cow really need to prepare a hundred heads?"

"Of course, you think there are only those foreign envoys."

"Your Highness, we are responsible for preparing food so much that we have lost all our energy. This raw material alone has made us half exhausted."

"Zhao Fei, there is no way to do this. Grandpa Huang asked these foreign envoys to not only enjoy the delicious food of our Ming Dynasty, but also let them taste the Western food unique to our Ming Dynasty."

"Your Highness, why are you working so hard?"

"This is where the national prestige is located and there is no reason."

Zhu Yunwen didn't explain anymore because he knew that it would be impossible to let Zhao Fei understand that it would not take a day or two. The most important thing now is how to prepare this state banquet. This matter is more difficult than imagined. Now Zhu Yunwen understands why the King of Yan was

"Western food requires a lot of knife and fork, are you ready..."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, those knife and forks are seriously out of stock, and there is still 500 sets short of stock."

"What! There are still five hundred sets left..."

Zhu Yunwen suddenly had a headache, but soon he thought of a solution. Zhu Yunwen actually thought of letting the arsenal build tableware. The number of these 500 sets was a piece of cake for these people. In a day, he actually made 500 more sets.

"The tableware has finally been solved..."

"Your Highness, something is wrong..."

"What's so panicked..."

"Your Highness, our spice-filled ship has sank."

"What!"

Zhu Yunwen really had a headache. This was the spice he prepared specifically for this Western food. He finally raised it from various provinces and counties. Even if he raised it again, it would be too late.
