Zhu Di's face was extremely gloomy, and his eyes kept flickering as he pondered how to deal with it. The entire hall was extremely quiet, and even Zhu Di's long inhalation could be clearly heard.
After pondering for a moment, Zhu Di gritted his back molars to hold back his anger, and looked down at the credential in his hand. His eyes suddenly widened. Only then did Zhu Di realize that the entire credential only mentioned the envoy Hosokawa Mokiyuki.
, not even a word was mentioned about Komatsu Reiko.
"Why is there no Xiaosong Lingzi?" Zhu Di immediately frowned and looked sideways at Zhu Gaochi.
Zhu Gaochi's eyes widened immediately, his breath was stuck in his throat, and his body tensed up and he said: "My son... I don't know..."
Zhu Di stretched out his hand expressionlessly and handed him his credentials.
Zhu Gaochi hurriedly stepped forward and took it with both hands. After a quick look, it turned out that only Hosokawa Mochiyuki's name was on it, and there was no name of Komatsu Reiko in it.
"This...she...what does she mean?" Zhu Gaochi took a deep breath and said in surprise.
It is clear that everyone from Komatsu Reiko has arrived, but her name is not on the credentials. What does this mean?
Zhu Gaochi immediately raised his head and looked at his father in surprise.
Zhu Di looked at the capital outside the palace and snorted with a half-smile: "It seems that she wants to hide her identity!"
Conceal your identity?
Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but curl his lips. This was a very risky matter for Komatsu Lingzi. Since her name was not in the mission list, Xinming had no need to admit that Komatsu Lingzi had been to Xinming.
It is even possible that Komatsu Reiko is still in Japan.
In other words, even if Komatsu Reiko died here, it had nothing to do with Xinming, and the Japanese country could only knock out their teeth and swallow blood.
Zhu Gaochi looked up at his father and asked with confusion: "What is the reason why she came to Xinming like this...?"
"I don't know." Zhu Di said coldly, and then laughed: "But no matter what she wants to do, the initiative is now in my hands. If I want her to do it, she can do it. I don't want her to do it.
She does... hum!"
Zhu Gaochi instantly understood what his father meant, and he could also see that it was a failure for Xiaosong Lingzi to come to Xinming so quietly.
Even if Xinming killed her, it would be impossible for Japan to avenge her.
"Where is Hosokawa Mochizuki at this moment?" Zhu Di raised his head and asked Zhu Gaochi.
Zhu Gaochi was shocked and quickly replied: "Still in the Huitong Hall."
"Let's go to the Huitong Hall." Zhu Di waved his hand fiercely and started to walk out of the hall.
"Father!" Zhu Gaochi quickly stopped his father, bowed with a wry smile and said: "Father is the lord of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and Xiaosong Lingzi is just the leader of a small country. Only Fan Guo has come to pay homage to the superior country. Where can I
Is there anyone who goes to the country to see Fanguo?"
"Yes, the emperor's priorities must not be confused!" Han Shu didn't know why Zhu Di was anxious to see Xiaosong Lingzi, but he still echoed the advice.
But Zhu Di insisted on meeting Komatsu Lingzi. She even dared to risk coming to the capital. If Zhu Di didn't go to meet him, wouldn't he be looked down upon by Komatsu Lingzi?
However, what Zhu Gaochi and Han Shu said was very reasonable. He was the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty. How could he lower his status to meet the leader of a small country?
Zhu Di thought of an idea, smiled and waved his hands: "It doesn't matter! She didn't identify herself anyway, so it's okay for me to go see the Japanese envoy, right?"
"That's... that's okay." Han Shu was stunned for a moment and nodded slightly. The Emperor of the Shang Dynasty took the initiative to meet the envoys of the Fan Kingdom, which can be seen as the importance he attached to the Fan Kingdom.
Although Zhu Gaochi was very reluctant for his father to see Xiaosong Lingzi, he also knew that as long as it was something his father had made up his mind to, he would not be able to object to it at all.
I can only nod in agreement.
Huitong Hall.
Komatsu Reiko sat at the top, holding a white porcelain tea cup in her hand. She leaned over with a pair of red lips and took a sip gently.
Hosokawa Noriyuki sat opposite, serving him carefully.
After being seen by Han Shu, Komatsu Reiko asked Hosokawa Mokiyuki to present his credentials and move from the inn to the Huitong Hall.
Hosokawa Mokiyuki looked at His Majesty's eyes staring out the window, lowered his head and asked softly: "Your Majesty..."
"What's wrong?" Komatsu Reiko smiled slightly, put down the teacup and looked sideways at Hosokawa Mochiyuki.
Hosokawa Noriyuki quickly brought forward the teapot, poured tea for His Majesty, and said with worried eyes: "Since Your Majesty wants me to present credentials to Xinming, why doesn't Your Majesty leave Xinming immediately, but continues to stay here?
"
"Can't I stay here?" Komatsu Reiko smiled slightly and reached out to pick up the tea cup.
Hosokawa Mochiyuki took a deep breath and sighed. Although he knew that His Majesty would not listen to his advice, Hosokawa Mochiyuki still said: "Your Majesty, this is too risky. Since you have been recognized by Han Shu, then
He will definitely report this matter to the Xinming Emperor."
"If Xinming is not good for you, we won't even have room to resist here..."
Komatsu Reiko lowered her eyes, glanced at Hosokawa Mochichi lightly, and chuckled: "Don't worry, it's not as dangerous for me to stay here as you think."
"But there is still danger. There is no need for Your Majesty to stay here..." Hosokawa Noriyuki did not want His Majesty to take any risks.
The smile on Komatsu Reiko's face gradually faded, and she put down the tea cup with a sigh: "Haven't you discovered Xin Ming's ambition yet?"
"What?" Hosokawa Mokiyuki was now focused on persuading His Majesty to go back. It was too dangerous to stay here in His Majesty's capacity. He didn't have any extra energy to pay attention to anything else, so he didn't understand His Majesty's intentions for a while.
mean.
Komatsu Reiko took out a breath and said calmly: "What do you think about Xinming's invitation to the tribal leaders to observe the ceremony?"
Hosokawa Mokiyuki frowned when he heard this and said slowly: "Xinming has had deep grudges with the indigenous tribes for so many years in America. They want to invite the tribal leaders to watch the ceremony, but I'm afraid the indigenous tribes don't dare to come, right?"
Although the Japanese country has been hiding in Latin America these years and dare not show up easily, they still got some news about Xinming.
I know that since Xinming came to America, he has never stopped fighting with the surrounding tribes. Which tribe around Xinming does not have a blood feud with them? Under such circumstances, even if Xinming really extended an invitation, others would not
return.
Even the surrounding tribes thought this was a trap set by Xin Ming and wanted to gather them together and kill them all.
Even if the tribes further away have not had any conflicts with Xinming, they will still be wary of Xinming and will not dare to come to Xinming easily.
Therefore, Hosokawa Mokiyuki was not optimistic about Xinming's sacrifice, and even thought it might become a joke.
