No matter how the guard tried to help, the fallen front teeth still couldn't fit in. Chen Rikun had no choice but to give up, thinking to himself, there are many craftsmen in Ming Dynasty, since these two front teeth fell out, he will make a porcelain one later.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang held back his laughter and continued to ask him, "Chen Rikun, what is your intention in calling yourself the prince of Nanyue Kingdom just now?"

"Your Majesty Qi Zuo, Annan has been a branch of Baiyue since ancient times. There is nothing wrong with calling yourself the prince of Nanyue. This time I came to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and I just wanted to hand over the royal father's memorandum, requesting that Annan be changed to Nanyue."

After Zhu Tao whipped the king's whip for a performance, and after Liu Bowen reminded him, Zhu Yuanzhang had already understood that the difference between Annan and Nanyue represented completely different meanings.

Once this country name is agreed, it means that Daming will forever lose the territory of Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi in the south of Lingnan.

Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table and stood up, saying loudly.

"The small country in Annan dares to provoke me to be powerful tomorrow. Are you not afraid that the heavenly soldiers will turn your city into dust?"

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang settled Mobei in the north, Yunnan in the south, Uszang and Anxi in the west, and the frontier troubles in the northern and western regions had been basically pacified.

Hearing that the emperor Longyan was furious, Chen Rikun didn't dare to talk back, because the elephant soldiers were not in front of him, so he had to bow his head and admit his cowardice.

"Your Majesty's lesson is that foreign ministers are convicted."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded disapprovingly when he saw that he had completely confessed.

"I miss you, a wild and small country, and you don't understand the etiquette of the heavenly court. We won't add any offense to your first offence. Let's get up and talk, and pay attention next time, otherwise Tao'er's king whip will come into play."

Chen Ruikun was like a bastard paddling in the water, kicking his hands and feet, but he couldn't get up after struggling, so he had to beg the warrior of Ming Dynasty for help.

At this time, two guards came over, one left and one right supported him to stand up, but his legs were twisted and he still couldn't stand stably, so he had to let the two guards stand up to answer Zhu Yuanzhang's question.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the tribute list he presented was all ordinary items: thatch, orange peel, grapefruit peel, etc. Although they were all practical things, they were not so precious that they could be used as tribute.There is some contempt in my heart.

Remembering Zhu Tao's reminder to him, he didn't talk about rewarding him.

"Your father, Chen Xiaowang, has a heart. I will let the Ministry of Rites deliver an edict later to reward your father. When you leave, you can take this edict and go back."

Then he told the Minister of Guanglu Temple to say.

"Arrange a banquet for the envoys of several countries."

There is only one imperial decree to give back, and there is no mention of the gift to be given back. Isn’t this a waste of time? If I had known this earlier, I might as well listen to a ditty at home with a beautiful woman in my arms.

Filled with righteous indignation, Chen Rikun suddenly felt that his legs were full of strength, and kicked hard.

"I get up!"

With his unremitting efforts, a miracle finally happened, he stood up miraculously!

"Wait a minute, Your Majesty, the foreign minister still has this instruction."

At this time, the Minister of Rites, who paid great attention to etiquette, reminded the prince to kneel down and play, and Chen Rikun replied with a wry smile.

"My lord, please forgive me. I'm afraid I won't be able to get up again after I kneel down."

Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed his smile, looked at Zhu Tao very satisfied, and said to himself, boy, you have made another contribution.

"Considering the actual situation of the prince, I don't need you to kneel down, just stand up and answer."

Chen Rikun said very respectfully.

"I have heard about the mighty Ming army for a long time, but I have never seen it before. I want to use the elephant soldiers I brought to learn a few tricks from the Ming army. After returning home, I can praise the prestige of the Ming Dynasty to others."

It's here, it's finally here.

Zhu Yuanzhang had heard about Prince Annan's plan from Jinyiwei's detective report a long time ago. Today, seeing Prince Annan's performance in Mingtang, his previous worries were swept away.

A raging litter, the prince is such an idiot, why should his subordinates be afraid, so he nodded and said.

"My Great Ming's masters of tigers and wolves can be found everywhere, and there are so many fierce generals. Whoever you want to ask for advice can be called on the spot."

Hearing these words, Chen Rikun's original fear of Zhu Tao was swept away, and a sinister idea came to his mind.

"I don't know the name of this lord. He is holding a golden whip and looks majestic. He must be the number one god of war in Ming Dynasty. I dare to ask this lord for advice."

What he ordered was Zhu Tao's general.

Zhu Tao chuckled, showing his white teeth.

"Prince Annan, you are looking for me, are you sure you don't regret it?"

As he spoke, he raised the golden whip in his hand and said with a smile.

"I won't bully you either, let's use our weapons, let's fight for [-] rounds."

He said it easily, but he kept swinging the steel whip in his hand, and smashed it down on the prince's head.

The prince came to pay homage, and he had no weapon in his hand. He was so frightened that he hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, and then sat down on the ground again, unable to get up again.

"Stop, stop, they haven't started yet."

"Stop you, uncle, you have already challenged me, why haven't you started yet? If I don't smash you to death today, it won't be finished."

"Using a knife and a gun in front of the emperor is a bit disrespectful, why don't we go to the small school outside to compete?"

Seeing him throw another butt pier, Zhu Tao chuckled.

"Then you said it earlier, I thought you were going to compete on the spot, but a martial arts competition is a martial arts competition, there is no prize, and I don't want to compete."

"What king are you?"

"I am Zhu Tao, the protector of the king. I was given a golden whip to beat the king unconscious. Is this status enough to compete with you?"

Seeing the golden whip in his hand dangling on his head, Chen Rikun nodded repeatedly with the attitude of being a bachelor who doesn't suffer from immediate losses.

"It's enough, it's too good. I also ask the prince to teach me on the military field."

"Let's talk about it first, what kind of lottery do you want to bet on?"

Chen Rikun gritted his teeth.

"If you lose, the gift that Ming should give us should be multiplied tenfold. In addition, we are allowed to use the new name of the Nanyue Kingdom. Our king can call himself the Great Emperor and be on an equal footing with you, Ming."

Just because you are so cowardly, you still want to be on an equal footing with our Daming.

Zhu Tao secretly laughed in his heart, but asked quietly.

"What if you lose?"

"If I lose, I will recognize you as my own father, and the son of tomorrow will be my own grandfather. From now on, the tribute gift will be increased by ten times, and I will also send another tribute to your family."

Zhu Tao nodded.

"When your small country meets me, Ming Dynasty, it is right to increase the tribute, but if you lose, you shouldn't give some gifts from your grandfather? And His Royal Highness, but your uncle, shouldn't you give some gifts?"

Come on, I can't bear to let the child not be a wolf.

Chen Rikun hardened his heart.

"Alright, I agreed, but it's useless to just say, you have to win first before I say anything else!"
