Prime Minister's Mansion.

Front yard study.

Hu Weiyong was pacing in the study with his hands behind his back, his expression slightly solemn.

At this moment, footsteps were heard, and Hu Fei, accompanied by Qin Hai, slowly came to the door of the study.

"Master, the young master is here."

Qin Hai bowed his hands and said respectfully.

While talking, Hu Fei had slowly walked into the study, sat aside and poured himself a cup of tea.

Hu Weiyong glanced at Hu Fei, waved his hands towards Qin Hai and Chundie, and signaled them to leave.

Immediately afterwards, Hu Weiyong looked at Hu Fei again.

"Has the mission already settled in the Huitong Pavilion?"

Hu Weiyong looked at Hu Fei and asked slowly.

"Um."

Hu Fei took a sip of tea and said lightly.

"Nothing happened, right?"

Hu Weiyong frowned and asked hesitantly.

"No, what could happen?"

Hu Fei smiled and replied nonchalantly.

"Didn't I tell you to stay away from the mission? Why didn't you listen?"

Hu Weiyong hesitated for a moment, frowned, and said reproachfully.

"His Majesty personally summoned me and ordered me to go to Kyoto Guard to welcome the envoy to Beijing. What can I do?"

Hu Fei smiled and said.

"Can't you refuse? There are so many people in the DPRK, do you have to do it?"

Hu Weiyong frowned and said.

"It seems that I really have to do this. Others probably don't have the guts."

Hu Fei spread his hands and said helplessly.

"What do you mean? Does your Majesty have other intentions?"

Hu Weiyong was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully.

"No."

"Don't worry, I have handed over the matter to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War. The rest has nothing to do with me, and I am too lazy to take care of them."

Hu Fei smiled and said lightly without explaining too much.

"Well, since nothing happened, I can rest assured."

"Don't interfere with the rest. People from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War will be responsible for it."

"After moving into the Huitong Hall, they need to learn etiquette for a few days first, and they can only go out once within five days. There shouldn't be any big problems."

Hu Weiyong nodded and said slowly.

"You can only go out once in five days? Isn't this the same as house arrest?"

Hu Fei was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile, suddenly beginning to sympathize with the arrogant people in the mission.

"You can't say that. Although the envoys will be treated as honored guests after entering Beijing, in order to prevent extraneous matters, travel can only be restricted. This is a rule set by His Majesty long ago, and any envoy must abide by it."

Hu Weiyong hesitated and slowly explained.

"I understand, then I won't bother to take care of it anymore. Jinyiwei has recruited a lot of people during this period. I am also busy training troops and have no time to deal with the envoy."

Hu Fei smiled and said lightly.

"That's good. The mission will leave Beijing in ten days at most. Don't cause any more trouble before the New Year."

Hu Weiyong nodded, and then gave another warning.

Hu Fei agreed, then exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then left with Chundie and others.

He didn't say much about Zhu Yuanzhang's secret instructions and what happened in Kyoto Guard.

…

Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Pang Yuhai quickly walked into the hall and bowed respectfully.

"Your Majesty, Zhou Tong, the Minister of Rites, is waiting outside the palace."

Pang Yuhai said respectfully while saluting.

"Xuan."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, he nodded and said.

Soon, Zhou Tong walked into the main hall quickly.

"Weak minister Zhou Tong, please see Your Majesty!"

Zhou Tong walked closer and bowed respectfully.

"Get flat."

"How about it? I heard that the Japanese delegation has moved into Huitong Hall?"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and asked in a deep voice.

"Back to Your Majesty, the delegation has successfully moved into the Huitong Pavilion. The minister has sent someone to explain the etiquette to them, and they can enter the palace to see them in a few days."

Zhou Tong stood up slowly and replied respectfully.

"That's great. Will everything go smoothly on the way to welcome the delegation?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and asked tentatively.

"this…"

After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's question, Zhou Tong hesitated for a moment, recalling what happened in Kyoto Wei Zhong, and hesitated whether he should report the truth truthfully.

"Why are you hesitating? If you have something to say, just say it! Did something happen?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened and he asked dissatisfied.

"Reporting to your Majesty, something did happen while we were guarding Kyoto."

Zhou Tong hesitated and answered slowly.

"What's the matter?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly, not looking worried, but with a hint of expectation.

"Jiu'an Hou seemed to be very angry that the delegation did not welcome his arrival. Regardless of the obstruction, he led people directly into the backyard residence where the delegation was located. There was almost a conflict between the two parties."

"The envoy's words to Kuroda Yoshitaka, the representative of the Japanese Ministry of Administration this time, were also sarcastic and merciless. I am afraid that he has offended everyone in the envoy."

Zhou Tong hesitated for a moment, then told all the facts he had witnessed with his own eyes.

After listening to Zhou Tong's words, Zhu Yuanzhang did not mean to blame him at all. Instead, he nodded frequently, with a slight smile inadvertently flashing across his lips.

However, Zhou Tong, who lowered his head and told the truth, did not see this scene.

"Okay, if nothing happens, Zhou Qing will leave. You can worry more about entertaining the envoys next."

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhou Tong and said slowly.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Zhou Tong was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but raise his head and look at Zhu Yuanzhang blankly, showing a trace of confusion.

He did not expect that after he said so much, His Majesty said nothing, let alone any hint of reproach.

"Master Zhou, is there anything else?"

Seeing Zhou Tong's confused look, Pang Yuhai on the side asked hurriedly.

"Oh, no more..."

"Wei Chen resigns!"

After hearing Pang Yuhai's reminder, Zhou Tong came back to his senses, bowed hurriedly and respectfully, and slowly retreated.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched Zhou Tong leave, the smile of approval on his lips becoming more and more obvious.
