There was silence in the palace. The Supreme Emperor, who had just said that he could do whatever he wanted, now looked at Zhang Shi and fell silent.

Zhu Yi lowered his head and couldn't see his face clearly. On the other hand, Jiao Jing, who was on the side, immediately darkened his face after hearing Zhang Shi's words and said.

"General Zhang, if you dare to say such outrageous things, aren't you afraid of being punished by the Supreme Emperor?"

At this time, Zhu Yi also knelt down and said.

"The Supreme Emperor has clearly learned that this method is absolutely impossible. Although the title of the Duke of Chengguo is important, he cannot offend the Tian family in this way. However, I ask the Supreme Emperor to be loyal to General Zhang and not to punish him."

The scene became a little solemn, with one side scolding and the other interceding. Zhang Xi was caught in the middle and did not say a word.

So, after a few people hesitated for a moment, they set their sights on the Supreme Emperor. In the final analysis, he still needed his nod for this matter.

Zhu Qizhen was sitting on the throne with a complicated look on his face.

In fact, when Zhang Xi said this method just now, his first reaction was not only surprise, but also anger.

However, if you calm down and think about it, this may be the only way to break the situation.

It's just that I feel really uncomfortable...

However, looking at Zhang Xi's silence below and Zhu Yi's slightly depressed look, he hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said.

"I'm sure!"

After saying this sentence, the three people below were stunned. Immediately, Zhang Shi was the first to react and kowtow.

"The Supreme Emperor is so kind and kind that it is hard for me to repay him with my body."

At the same time, Zhu Yi was slightly behind by half a point, but also followed suit.

"I would like to express my gratitude to Your Majesty for your grace."

Seeing this situation, it was too late for Jiao Jing on the side to stop him, but after hesitating for a moment, he still spoke.

"Your Majesty clearly knows that although General Zhang's plan is good, it requires the right time and place. It's easy to say, but it's hard to find the right time. If..."

After saying half a sentence, Zhang Xian on the side said.

"Your Majesty, I have already asked the alchemist in the palace who is good at calculations. Since your Majesty has given permission, I will find the right time to complete this matter."

Initially, Zhu Qizhen was a little hesitant, but when Zhang Min said this, he had nothing to say, so he nodded and said.

"In this case, the Zhang Qing family can handle it. As I said, as long as you can get back the title of Chengguo Duke, I will agree to it at any price."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Mian kowtowed again and blocked all Jiao Jing's words.

At this time, Ruan Lang suddenly stepped forward and whispered a few words.

So, Zhu Qizhen frowned, seemed a little surprised, and asked.

"Now?"

Ruan Lang nodded.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Qizhen hesitated for a moment and then said.

"This matter is settled like this. We can start preparations after returning to Beijing. That's it for today. You guys go back first."

The three people below looked at each other, and they all guessed that something had happened. However, the Emperor refused to tell, and they made a tacit agreement not to ask.

So, the three of them cupped their hands at the same time and said.

"I'll take my leave."

…………

In the main hall of the palace, while the Supreme Emperor was having a friendly exchange with a few of his "confidants", Zhu Qiyu was faced with a group of "excited" envoys from the barbarians.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, above the Spring Hunting Ceremony, on the side of the Emperor's bed, someone dared to poison the camp. He really has no respect for the imperial court. Please punish him."

"Yes, Your Majesty, we respect the majesty of His Majesty the Great Emperor, admire the wealth and etiquette of Ming Dynasty, and also ask Your Majesty to treat every tribe fairly."

"Your Majesty, you must protect the safety of every subject who surrenders to you, and please seek justice for us loyal subjects."

It was obvious that the envoys were very angry about being drugged in the camp.

Led by Naha Chu, they stood in the temple, chatting in all directions, some complaining, some acting rude, and for a moment, they almost tore off the roof.

"Your Majesty, Hu Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Du Siqing of Dali Temple, and Li Siqing of Guanglu Temple are outside asking for an audience."

Amidst the commotion, Wynn stepped forward and whispered.

So Zhu Qiyu waved his hand to signal him to call the people in, and then glanced at Huai En next to him. Then, the eunuch immediately understood and shouted loudly.

"quiet!"

The emotions of these envoys slowly calmed down.

Not long after, Hu Hui, Du Ning, and Li Pengfu, the minister of Guanglu Temple came in.

"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"Get flat."

Zhu Qiyu glanced down, and he could naturally see that it was Naha who was inciting these people's emotions.

However, the situation is unclear at the moment. At least on the surface, they are victims, so it is not easy for him to blame these people.

Seeing Hu Hui and others arriving, he asked.

"I just received news that a large number of people with diarrhea suddenly appeared in Nanyuan. It is suspected that someone deliberately poisoned them to disrupt the spring hunting. Do you know about this?"

This was not a harsh question, but the sweat on Li Siqing's head immediately fell down and he immediately fell to his knees. Nuonuo did not dare to say anything.

Zhu Qiyu glanced at the envoys from all over the world and realized that they would not leave unless Qing Zhijin gave them an explanation today, so he had to darken his face and said.

"absurd!"

"Spring hunting is a grand ceremony of the imperial court. On such an occasion, someone could actually poison you. What did you do?"

Li Siqing was even more frightened now and kept saying.

"Your Majesty, I have neglected my duties, please forgive me."

Although it is already known that this matter may not be the responsibility of Guanglu Temple. After all, although Guanglu Temple will send them tea and rice, most of the food and drinks for these envoys are made by themselves. Therefore, it is said that it is Guanglu Temple.

If there is a problem, it is more likely that they themselves have a problem.

However, this is Nanyuan after all. Under such circumstances, if Zhu Qiyu said it was their own problem without investigation, he would be suspected of shirking responsibility and make these people dissatisfied with the court.

Therefore, Guanglu Temple can only be scolded first.

After scolding Li Pengfu for a few words, Zhu Qiyu turned his attention to Hu Hui and Du Ning and continued.

"Today's matter must be investigated strictly. No matter who is found who dares to cause trouble at the imperial ceremony, he must be severely punished."

"Qing Du Si, I will leave this matter to Dali Temple for investigation. No matter what, you must give me a result as soon as possible and give an explanation to these envoys who were drugged and poisoned!"

"I obey the decree."

During this period, Du Siqing was busy with the matter of investigating the imperial examination. He had just sorted it out there, and originally planned to report it when he returned to the capital, but he never thought that such an incident would happen again.

At this time, Du Siqing missed the days when Jin Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment was here. If he were here, this kind of case would have to be jointly tried by Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, and he would not be left busy alone.

No matter what Du Ning thought, this gesture was shown.

Zhu Qiyu continued to turn to the aggrieved envoys from all over the world and spoke.

"Don't worry, everyone, I will investigate today's matter strictly. No matter who is found out in the end, I will punish them severely."

"Now that it's getting late, it's more important to treat those who are sick first. I will hand over the investigation to Dali Temple for strict investigation and handling. You can leave first."

Logically speaking, the attitude that should be given has been given, and the matter should have come to an end at this point.

However, what Zhu Qiyu didn't expect was that Nachuha still looked dissatisfied and said.

"Your Majesty, the nature of this matter is extremely bad, but it is not complicated. There is no need to trouble Sir Dali Temple. I have already found out who the real culprit is before I come here. Please punish him severely."

Zhu Qiyu frowned, not expecting that Nachuha was so ignorant that he would continue to make trouble.

However, when it comes to this, it is not easy to refuse.

So, he asked.

"Who is the real culprit? How was he found out?"

"It is Asu, the leader of the Seven Guards of Kansai!"

Nachuha raised his head and said with an angry look on his face.

"Your Majesty, the great emperor, it is normal for tribes in the grassland to fight against each other. However, my envoy and the Seven Guards of Guanxi have no grudges and have come together to pay a pilgrimage to the Ming Dynasty. They should live in peace with each other."

"But when Asu first arrived in the capital, he came to provoke me, injured my missionary guards, and forced his way into the inn."

"Under the Emperor's feet, Asu is committing such atrocities. He simply does not take His Majesty the Emperor into consideration. Your Majesty Bodu, considering that this is the realm of the Ming Dynasty, made more concessions to Asu."

"But that Asu didn't know how to restrain himself. He publicly humiliated me, Grand Master Wala, and forced His Excellency Bodu to duel with him. In desperation, His Excellency Bodu made a bet with him to compete in a martial arts competition at the Spring Hunting Arena."

"However, the military exercise was coming, and in order to win, Asu turned out to be so despicable that he poisoned our mission. In order to cover up his despicable behavior, he even implicated other missions in an attempt to get through."

"Your Majesty, if these people are not severely punished for their wanton and reckless behavior, their audacity, and their disregard for the imperial court, they may cause panic among the envoys from all over the world, and they will lose the great power of tomorrow."
