Bright Spring

Guo Wei turned to the eunuch Huang Gou and said, "Take care of the child."

The yellow dog said: "The servants will obey Yi's orders."

Zhu Gaoxu also walked out of the gazebo, and Cao Fu hurriedly followed by him.He wandered around for a while, watching the garden scenery in early summer, and after passing the arched bridge over the creek, Cao Fu said softly: "My lord, Yisuwa is in the room ahead."

"It's already here, it's good to see her, let's go." Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and glanced at Cao Fu.

The two walked through a small brick floor and entered a door.Zhu Gaoxu saw two Taishi chairs inside, so he sat down on the chairs.Cao Fu stepped back and left the house.

After a while, Yisova walked in alone.When she was walking, her eyes were fixed on Zhu Gaoxu.The eyes of this foreign woman are very beautiful, deep and energetic, as if expressing some meaning or emotion at any time.Zhu Gaoxu wondered when he met for the first time in the temple, he didn't have a clear identity, maybe Yisuwa was comparing the scene of the meeting above?

Her light brown skin and more three-dimensional facial features have an exotic style, and the lines of her tall figure are concave-convex.She wore a silk double-breasted gown with a prominent breast and an unlined collar around her neck, so that even the scenery below the collarbone could be seen indistinctly.

Yisuva clasped her hands together and said, "I pay my respects to His Majesty the Emperor."

"Excuse me, sit down." Zhu Gaoxu said, "Have you learned Chinese yet?"

Yisuva said, "A little bit."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded his head.Yisuwa walked to the teacher's chair next to her and sat there.Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at her, only to feel that she vaguely had the temperament of a queen, generous and calm, with a bit of nobility.

Yisuwa also turned her head to look at Zhu Gaoxu, and said proactively, "I didn't greet... I'm sorry for welcoming you."

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while, and said: "Let's come to enjoy the flowers and peonies today." He raised his hand to compare the size of the peony flower, "The peony flower is very big and brightly colored, which means generosity and wealth. In our Daming, the peony flower is the most Like a queen among flowers."

Among the barbarian states in the south, it is obvious that etiquette is very different from that of the Ming Dynasty.Yisuva turned her head to look directly at Zhu Gaoxu, and kept watching him speak.

"Queen." Zhu Gaoxu emphasized a word, "Madam, can you understand me?"

Yisuva nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu said: "So if you don't come to visit the queens and concubines, or you don't want to do anything, I can at least understand."

Yisuva stared at him with great interest, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but the smile was forced, vaguely desolate.With her facial features, it seems easier to make any expression.

She was silent for a while, and said: "I saw it, Your Majesty and family." She paused for a while, and said, "I have family, before."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded in response.Since he could only speak as simply as possible, he didn't say much, for fear that Yisuwa wouldn't understand.

Yisuva's face gradually showed coldness and resentment, "They killed An En and other people, my sister is a child."

Zhu Gaoxu froze for a moment, sitting close to her, he could clearly feel her hatred.But I don't know if her hatred includes hatred for Ming; after all, the Siamese had the opportunity to slaughter the Chenla country. First, the Ming army weakened the Chenla country's army and created opportunities for its enemy.

But looking at her eyes, Zhu Gaoxu can roughly confirm that it is the Siamese who she hates the most, and at least Daming is not the main enemy.

Yisuwa turned her head to look at him and said, "Da Ming persecuted Siam and wants to attack Siam?"

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a while, and said: "National affairs are mainly based on advantages and disadvantages. Siam's unlimited expansion is not what the Ming court wants. This matter has nothing to do with you, and it is impossible for me to make major decisions for women."

After being quiet for a while, when Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look, he saw that Yisuwa was still staring at him. He couldn't understand the meaning or emotion in Yisuwa's eyes.

Zhu Gaoxu sighed, and said again: "If the dynasty and race decline, then hatred, grievances, and honor and disgrace..." He waved his hands twice, "It doesn't matter, and no one will remember it."

At this time, the position of the sun just moved to a certain angle, and a ray of sunlight came in from the window, just touching Zhu Gaoxu's face.He suddenly felt a little dazzling, squinted his eyes and looked up.

Or under the influence of strong light, when Zhu Gaoxu looked sideways at Yisuva again, he felt that the light in her place was a bit dim, and her body seemed a little more gloomy.Only her eyes were particularly bright, as if there were tears, but upon closer inspection, there were no tears, and she even made a sound that seemed to be crying and laughing, with a sad and desolate expression on her face, and a bit of regret.

The two of them had difficulty in communicating with each other verbally. Zhu Gaoxu did not expect that they could talk so deeply today.

Yisuwa finally asked: "Someone in Chenla is plotting to murder me, does King Benhaya know about it?"

Zhu Gaoxu was a little confused for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he remembered the process before Yisuwa came to Daming.Probably the Minister of the Palace of the Chenla Kingdom used a false edict to trick Yisuwa into asylum, but the people accompanying her wanted to rape-kill her.What Yisuwa meant was to suspect that the king's warrant might not be a false edict, but it was one of the people involved in the conspiracy.

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't answer her this question.However, based on Zhu Gaoxu's experience, in some places, people really do everything they can, and it's not too strange to do anything.

"What Meng Ji said, he dare not lie to His Majesty." Yisuwa said in her voice.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I will help you to ask. But Meng Ji is not from Chenla, so he doesn't know too much. There are some secrets, who can know?"

Yisuva looked at him and said, "The king doted on me very much, before."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I understand, if the king's heart for you is still the same, it may be more realistic for you to expect the king to avenge you in the future."

Isuva was noncommittal.

On a whim, Zhu Gaoxu asked, "Troy, have you heard of it?"

Isuva shook her head in bewilderment.

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while and said, "Probably two countries fought a protracted war because of a beautiful woman, and finally destroyed the city-state of Troy." He paused and said, "But I think the truth may not be that simple. It's just that people are more willing to believe in such a happy motive."

These words are a bit complicated, and I don't know if Yisuva understood.

After Zhu Gaoxu finished speaking, he stood up and said, "My lady is at ease here, I, Da Ming, will not embarrass a woman."

Yisuva stood up and bowed in place to say goodbye.Zhu Gaoxu didn't care about it, she didn't send the red tape to the door, he walked out of the door, looked up at the dazzling sun, and became a little curious about the secret of the King of Chenla for a while.He still wondered for a while, what exactly did the king do?

Chapter 961 It's just speculation

Yisuwa asked Zhu Gaoxu to ask Meng Ji whether the king of Chenla was involved in the conspiracy.She is a sensible person, knowing that eunuch Meng Ji may deceive her, but she dare not easily deceive the emperor.

When Zhu Gaoxu saw Meng Ji, he suddenly remembered this matter, so he asked Meng Ji a question.

Meng Ji's expression was a little embarrassed at the beginning, and then he told the truth. He really said it casually, but actually knew almost nothing about the details of the conspiracy that took place in the Chenla Kingdom.Meng Ji didn't explain why he lied to Yisuwa, and Zhu Gaoxu didn't continue to ask; the matter was indeed a bit embarrassing, why did Meng Ji insist that Yisuwa had no choice but to come to Daming to avoid disaster?

However, a person who may know more will be returning to Beijing soon.He is Liu Ming.

Zhu Gaoxu received the memorial, and the main force of the naval fleet is returning.The navy has avoided the storm-prone season along the southeast coast, and is expected to reach the lower reaches of the river this month and enter Liujiaxiang on the Taicang side.The memorial was written by Liu Ming.

Regardless of dissuasion, Liu Ming personally went to Phnom Penh City in Chenla Kingdom and stayed there for a long time.Thinking about it, Liu Ming must know more than Meng Ji.

Most of the main force of the Ming Navy has returned, including the commander Chen Xuan and the envoy Wang Jinghong.Only two commanders, Lin Zixuan and Tang Jing, stayed in Longyamen in Malacca and Xinshicheng in Saigon Bay respectively.The loss of naval warships and soldiers mainly occurred in that big storm, which caused thousands of casualties; on the contrary, in the subsequent wars in the south, the loss of ships and troops was very small.

Judging from the results, Chen Xuan and Wang Jinghong made great contributions.So Zhu Gaoxu quickly issued an order to ask Honglu Temple and other government offices to prepare a celebration banquet, and ordered the household department to calculate a sum of money to reward the soldiers.

However, there was something about Chen Xuan that made Zhu Gaoxu a little dissatisfied.

After the war between the Ming army and the Chenla army, the time is not appropriate for the official army to continue to attack Mancijia, because it will soon enter the hot season; and Mancijia took the initiative to send envoys to seek peace and agree to everything in Ming Dynasty The request is very respectful.It was obviously unnecessary to continue waging war at that time.However, Chen Xuan still used various means, including arbitrarily driving away the envoys of Mancijia, etc., so that the Chinese army reached a decision to continue to attack Mancijia.

Zhu Gaoxu thought of these things, and thought about Chen Xuan again.

Ordinary people may meet a lot of people in their life, but most of the people who really spend their time thinking about it are only a few people, probably their bosses or close companions.But Zhu Gaoxu is different, he has a lot of people to think about, and he is afraid that he will use the wrong person.So sometimes he gets mad at someone and then forgets about it.

This is how Zhu Gaoxu treated Chen Xuan. If it wasn't for the recent memorial to remind Chen Xuan to return to China, Zhu Gaoxu would have almost forgotten what Chen Xuan had done.

However, no matter what, the rewards should not be less, after all, it is best to talk about results on the bright side.Now that Chen Xuan won the bet, Zhu Gaoxu did not intend to disclose the process of calculating with him.

In mid-April, Zhu Gaoxu led the ministers of civil and military affairs to give a banquet in Fengtian Hall. He hosted the banquet for the meritorious soldiers, civil officials and eunuchs who had returned, and rewarded a lot of property on the spot.
