Daming: In the beginning, he mistakenly regarded Emperor Yongle as his own father

The envoy of An Nanguo also saw Emperor Ming's displeasure, and hurried out to explain.

"Emperor Ming calmed down, this fact was a last resort."

"The Chen family, the successive kings of An Nanguo, had withered offspring. When the last king died of illness at a young age, the Chen family has no descendants."

"This matter was originally reported to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, but when the Ming Dynasty was constantly fighting, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty ordered the cessation of tribute, and our envoys could not enter the Ming Dynasty, so it has not been properly handled."

"But the country cannot be without a king for a day, so the people of Annan supported the Chen family's nephew, the Hu family, as the king, and the Hu family temporarily replaced the Chen family to rule the Annan country."

"Nowadays in Annan Kingdom, the weather is smooth and the people live and work in peace and contentment. That's why my king has the courage to beg the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to confer Hu's family as the king of Annan Kingdom."

The envoy's tone was sincere and his attitude was modest and polite.

And listening to his words, there is no flaw, and the matter is reasonable, although it is a bit abrupt, but it is also understandable.

After all, the Ming Dynasty was full of wars and had no time to take care of itself. How could it have the time and thought to manage the life and death of a dependent country.

"Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, what do you think?" Zhu Di threw the question to the Minister of Rites.

The Minister of Rites is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, so he naturally knows that this is not in accordance with the etiquette, but it is also reasonable, so he said.

"Your Majesty, if this matter is true, it is not a deception."

Zhu Di nodded when he heard the words, and said.

"Even so, let the envoy take his seat."

On the surface, there is no intention of blaming the Hu family, but it also does not mean to officially confer Hu's family.

Seeing this, the envoy saluted again.

"Your Majesty Daming is wise and mighty, generous and benevolent. Don't blame me, the people of Annan, for acting abruptly. My servants thank the Emperor Daming on behalf of my king and the people of Annan."

"However, the Annan Kingdom is a subsidiary state of the Ming Dynasty. If my king hadn't issued an imperial edict to confer the title, it would be disrespectful and disrespectful. I would like to make amends for my king."

It is a good move to advance and retreat, saying that it is an apology, but in fact it is reminding Zhu Di, don't forget to officially canonize and give the Hu family a legitimate title.

Zhu Di is not stupid, so he can understand it naturally, but he just doesn't canonize it.

Hey, just play.

"The envoy is too humble. This is because my Ming Dynasty made a mistake first. How can I blame the Annan people."

After finishing speaking, he turned to the courtiers and ordered in a stern tone.

"Everyone, listen carefully. This matter is not allowed to be mentioned again in the future. If anyone dares to say a word about the Hu family in An Nanguo, they will be dealt with according to the law of the Ming Dynasty."

All the ministers heard the words, stood up very cooperatively, and said in unison: "Respect."

The envoy was overwhelmed by Zhu Di and was so choked that he couldn't speak a word.

He knew that Emperor Daming was blocking his mouth, if he was speaking, then he would be charged with guilt.

Although he was not reconciled, but his arms couldn't twist his thighs, he had no choice but to give up for the time being, and returned to his seat resentfully.

After entertaining the envoy graciously, Zhu Di ordered someone to send him back to the envoy's residence.

Then Yang Shiqi and others were left behind. He felt that something was wrong with An Nanguo.

"Your Majesty, I think there is nothing wrong with what the envoy of An Nanguo said. If the Hu family is really loved by the people, it can be formally canonized." The Minister of Rites was the first to stand up.

But Yang Shiqi objected: "Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate."

"Oh? Why did Yang Aiqing say that?" Zhu Di didn't care about what the Minister of Rites said, but turned to Yang Shiqi.

Because he also felt that something was wrong. Although there was no flaw on the surface and what the other party said was reasonable, Zhu Di just felt something was wrong.

His rich political experience told him that this matter is definitely not as simple as what the envoy said, and there must be something else hidden in it.

Yang Shiqi was not polite, and said bluntly: "I feel that the envoy is lying."

"I remember that there are many descendants of the Chen family of King Annan. How come they have reached the point of extinction in just four years? It doesn't make sense at all."

"In addition, even if the Chen family really has no descendants, An Nanguo couldn't go to court to keep up with the letter because of the great war, so the people privately supported the Hu family as king. What about after His Majesty ascended the throne?"

"Mr. Hu obviously has many opportunities to write a letter to explain this matter, but why has there been no movement?"

"Moreover, such a major event as An Nanguo's change of dynasty, it is impossible not to let the news out. Even though Daming was in the midst of war at the time, normal trade with other countries was still going on. An Nanguo had such a big event. Daming didn't even think about it. I don’t even know, so it makes sense?”

Yang Shiqi's series of questions, every sentence is Zhu Di's heartfelt voice.

It is indeed unreasonable. Although Annan Kingdom is a subsidiary country, its territory is very small.

But things like changing the dynasty are not trivial matters. Since there are those who support the Hu family, there will naturally be opposition.

Zhu Di didn't believe that the Hu family could make all the subjects of the Annan Kingdom support him wholeheartedly.

Since it is impossible, what about those opposing voices?Where have you all gone?Why can't I hear anything?

The king is chosen by the people themselves, so the king does not need to be afraid of those opposing voices, so he will not suppress them at all, so those opposing voices should always be there.

But now it is obvious that no voice of opposition can be heard. Why?

There is only one reason, and that is being suppressed.

It is very contradictory to suppress what the people choose for themselves.

"Your Majesty, I propose that the Hu family not be formally canonized for the time being." Yang Rong also came out and said.

"Our dynasty can confer the name, and first send envoys to An Nanguo to find out the truth. If the matter is true, then let the envoys formally confer Hu's family according to the law of the Ming Dynasty."

"If it wasn't for the truth..."

Yang Rong didn't say any more, but everyone knew in their hearts that if it wasn't the truth, it was Hu's plot to usurp the throne, and deliberately blocked the news to deceive Daming.

Behavior like this is a crime.

Zhu Di nodded when he heard the words: "Okay, just follow what Ai Qing said."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Di handed the matter over to the Minister of the Ministry of Rites: "As for the matter of canonization, in order not to arouse An Nanguo's suspicion, the envoys will be selected from among the officials of the Ministry of Rites. Minister of the Ministry of Rites, do you have someone to choose?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites had already prepared: "I recommend Yang Bo, the servant of the Ministry of Rites. This person is diligent and clever. He has assisted the minister in dealing with the affairs of the Ministry of Rites for many years, and he is very effective."

"Okay, then appoint Minister of Rites Yang Bo as an envoy, lead two hundred followers, and follow the envoys of the Annan Kingdom to Annan Kingdom in the name of canonization."

"You're welcome to deal with it."

The Minister of Rites happily accepted the order: "The minister accepts the order."
