Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1384 Although it is far away, it must be punished

   After Gu Luozhi finished speaking, he felt a little regretful.

  Seeing that the Emperor Ming fell into silence.

  Gu Luozhi felt even more uneasy.

   After a long time, Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Well, the Qing family will step back."

  A firm attitude.

  Gu Luozhi's heart skipped a beat.

  Everything came to a sudden stop, there was neither thunder nor rain, but he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Emperor Hongzhi's gourd.

  The more so, the more worrying.

  But he didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly saluted: "Your servant will leave."

  Out of the Fengtian Temple, someone guided the Guluo Zhigong back to the residence of the Honglu Temple.

   It seems... everything has calmed down.

  He had just returned to Honglu Temple, but someone came to visit him.

   This annoyed Gu Luozhi.

  At this moment, he is reminiscing about today's match with Emperor Ming in the hall.

  He tried hard to recall the details of today, for fear of missing something.

  As an envoy, at the same time, he also shoulders the responsibility of spying on the movements of the Ming court.

  But after thinking about it carefully, I found that there seemed to be nothing worth pondering.

   Immediately afterwards, the companions from Honglu Temple came again.

  The envoys of Siam, Srivijaya, Aceh, and Boni all came.

  Everyone lives in Honglu Temple at ordinary times, and we don’t see them when we look up.

   Moreover, everyone is a neighboring country, and Daming's attitude towards Western countries is often the same, which also makes them move around more unconsciously.

   Hearing that Guluozhi was summoned by His Majesty the Emperor, all countries couldn't help but feel aroused, and wanted to find out about Daming's attitude towards Chenla Kingdom.

   These seven or eight people came in and saluted each other.

  These envoys, when they arrived in Daming, had long been accustomed to everything in the capital and enjoyed the benefits of the capital.

  At this time, after each seated, as usual, everyone drank tea cups and first imitated the common greetings of Han people.

   It’s nothing more than, have you eaten?

  The Siamese envoy coughed, and couldn't help but go straight: "Brother Guluozhi, dare to ask, the emperor called you to go this time, but because of the rumors about the Frangji people in the past few days."

  Gu Luozhi seemed extremely jealous of this, but saw other envoys looking at him one after another, showing meaningful expressions.

  Gu Luozhi had no choice but to say: "Yes."

   This cannot be hidden from others, even if they cannot find out from their own mouths, there are other channels.

  The envoy of the Three Buddhas Qi State took a sip of tea, but couldn't help saying: "The court of the Ming Dynasty is furious."

   "Not at all. The emperor has always been amiable. These are all rumors. Of course I will try my best to refute them."

   "So, Daming didn't feel offended?"

  Many people became active.

If you don't feel offended by the Chenla Kingdom, then...can you try to get in touch with the Franji people in your own country? The Franji people obviously have the intention of wooing other countries. It's not a bad thing.

  Gu Luozhi took a deep look at them, and he said: "The emperor's complexion is not pretty, but... I ventured to mention one thing."

  Everyone smiled, with a calm look on their faces, but they became nervous in their hearts. They needed to digest every message and make a correct judgment.

  Gu Luozhi continued: "I told the emperor, although the Zhenla Kingdom is small, it has tens of thousands of armies, and it has the strength of mountains and rivers..."

  Speaking of which.

  Many people suddenly wondered: "What?"

   "Did you really say that? Didn't the emperor want Longyan to be furious? Gu Luozhi, Gu Luozhi, this time you are reckless. Once you say something like this, it will not be fun."

   "Yes, you are an envoy, and you are here to make friends with Daming, not to make enemies with him."

  Everyone looked concerned and chattered.

   Gu Luozhi sneered in his heart.

   Where do they care about themselves and the country of Chenla?

   It's just that, deliberately taking advantage of this concern, I want to find out more about the front and back of the stage.

  The Kingdom of Chenla has aroused the resentment of the Ming court, but the lonely Luozhi also knows the truth that the law does not blame the public.

  If there is only one Chenla country, and the Franji people make peace, Ming Dynasty may target Chenla, but if all Western countries have such moves, then...

Gu Luozhi thought provocatively: "It's just...the emperor didn't seem to say anything about it. The current emperor of Ming Dynasty is a generous emperor. Besides, the Chenla Kingdom was established by force. It's not about being weak to be deceived, gentlemen, the duty of an envoy is not to flatter the country blindly, sometimes, it also needs to have a bit of character."

  Everyone was thoughtful, and seemed to feel that their lonely behavior was not unreasonable.

  From this point of view, Daming's tolerance is obviously more than he imagined.

   Seeing the eyes of everyone, Gu Luozhi began to show admiration: "Actually... many things are not a big deal, don't always take it to your heart..."

The more he talked, the more excited he became, and his face began to turn red. Just now he was still worried about contradicting Emperor Daming, but now, he felt that it was really no big deal. What could Daming do? Do you want to go to war against Chenla? If this is the case, morally, the opportunity has been lost instead. Besides, Zhenla is by no means a soft persimmon. How much is Daming going to pay?

  The envoys were all on their minds, constantly digesting the information in front of them.

   When Gu Luozhi got excited, he patted his thigh, but at this moment, his entourage hurried in and saluted.

  Gu Luozhi glanced at the attendant, who came to him and took out a secret letter.

   This seems to be news from the palace, sent urgently.

  Gu Luozhi looked up at the envoys.

   Seeing this, the envoys seemed to have figured it out, but they all sat there brazenly, refusing to leave.

   Being lonely and inconvenient to drive away guests, he subconsciously opened the secret letter, with a calm smile on his face, showing a calm and calm look.

   Everyone stretches their necks.

   Or carefully observe the expression of Lonely.

  Gu Luozhi first smiled, but...suddenly his eyes froze.

   Immediately afterwards, he frowned.

  It seemed as if he forgot that there were guests beside him all of a sudden, and he couldn't help saying angrily: "Liu Wenshan, a mere Liu Wenshan, dares to be so rude... This is a great shame for Zhenla, ha... ha ha... my king will not kill this person..."

   When the envoys heard the word Liu Wenshan, they became more interested and raised their ears one by one.

  What, the king of Chenla wants to punish Liu Wenshan?

  If this is the case, something big will happen.

  Many people even faintly began to get excited.

  Anyway, watching the excitement is not a big deal.

  But the next moment... Gu Luozhi's face suddenly became miserable.

  His body shook, his eyes suddenly became dazed and lifeless, and he couldn't help it, he suddenly said hysterically: "It's over, it's over..."

  His body trembled constantly, looking at the contents of the secret letter.

  Of course Liu Wenshan was not killed by the angry King Chenla, not only that, the King Chenla laughed.

Laughed…

   What frightened Gu Luozhi even more was that after laughing, there were also edicts about King Chenla, and these edicts were almost certain of one thing.

  The Kingdom of Chenla...is finished.

  Since then...the so-called Chenla has existed in name only.

  The Kingdom of Chenla actually lost the power to make money.

   Actually... the right to trade is also handed over.

  Even...the national treasury is completely maintained by borrowing from Xishan Bank.

Gu Luozhi shuddered, his heart was a little desperate, suddenly, he remembered something, then he stood up frantically, threw the secret letter aside, and said sharply: "I want to enter the palace, I want to see Emperor Ming, I want to enter the palace..."

  He seemed to be crazy, and ran away all at once.

  The other envoys all showed astonishment.

  But seeing Gu Luozhi running away in a puff of smoke, everyone was even more shocked.

  They didn't care about anything, they were busy picking up the secret letter on the file. The Siamese envoy picked it up and looked at it. Immediately afterwards, his face was also sallow.

  He slowly put down the secret letter, and then looked around: "The Kingdom of Chenla no longer exists."

   "So...we...us?"

   "Concerning what happened before, I'm afraid..." The Siamese envoy showed pain on his face...

  The whole hall suddenly boiled, and everyone began to anxiously wait for the news.

  …

  In Fengtian Temple.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked very calm. After the Gu Luozhi retired, he looked pleasant and smiled.

   But at this time, if His Majesty smiled, it might not be a good thing.

  At least Fang Jifan felt that this...may be a sign before the thunder came.

Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a long time, as if he had made up his mind. After more than half an hour when everyone dared not show their anger, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly said: "Decree, the spies of the Siyang Trading Company will try their best to find out the map of Zhenla Kingdom." , To draw a map, every mountain and river must be marked, and there must be no mistakes."

  Fang Jifan dared to be negligent: "My son obeys the order."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "I don't like to use swords and guns, but there are always many things in this world that make people helpless. That's right, Jifan, call back your disciple Liu Wenshan. Since I have other methods, Then, there is no need to let him stay in Xiyang, where... is not safe after all."

  Fang Jifan thought for a while, and opened his mouth to say something. "

  But an **** came in a hurry: "Your Majesty...Siyang Commercial Company reported that the Secretary of General Administration felt that the situation was urgent, so he sent it here immediately."

  Emperor Hongzhi was quite depressed.

  He really doesn't like to go to war, because war is a helpless act, and it is a method that has to be used after other methods have failed.

   After all, war means loss of life, hatred, and the wasting of countless money and food.

  Emperor Hongzhi opened his mouth: "Read."

   "Yes." The **** nodded, then picked up the memorial, and said word by word: "Chen Liu Jin, kowtow..."

   Liu Jin claimed to be a minister, not a slave, because he had already been made an earl.

  It's just...a **** who calls himself a minister, after all, it's a bit weird.

  Emperor Hongzhi closed his eyes and sat upright, pretending to be calm, but his heart was very restless.

  Other ministers, seeing His Majesty like this, naturally dare not show their pride.
