As for external affairs, Zhu Yuanzhang has basically let go of his affairs to Da Sun.

Just pay attention to the general situation.

The Zhenla matter may seem troublesome, but in fact, from Zhu Yuanzhang's point of view, it's not a big deal.

Even if Chenla destroyed the country, so what? Do you still dare to invade the Ming Dynasty?

The Ayutthaya dynasty of Siam and the Malacca of Malacca, united together, are just a slightly larger ant on the sea.

The Ming's armada can easily crush them.

I only dare to make some small moves secretly. If it gives Ming an excuse to start a war, then I really have to thank them.

From Zhu Yuanzhang's perspective.

Regardless of the Manraka, Ayutthaya dynasty, or even the Sukhothai dynasty in Northern Siam, they were all his younger brothers in name.

The Ming Dynasty was powerful all over the world. As a state of etiquette, it would easily cause panic in neighboring countries if it rashly went to war with its younger brother without being violated.

Zhu Ying was not in a hurry.

After all, that is Lan Yu, Duke Liang.

If he died in the hands of the Ayutthaya Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty would naturally send out troops to avenge Duke Liang.

There is no need for the Ayutthaya dynasty to exist.

No bathing today.

Now the court meetings are held every three days.

Now that it is spring, Zhu Ying feels bored in the palace recently and is planning to take his children and concubines on an outing.

Tianjie Temple, Ambassador Hall.

Amona didn't sleep all night.

He received an urgent letter from the eldest prince Senlepa Piya, which should be said to be the King of Chenla.

With the help of Li Jinglong, it was obvious that the eldest prince Shenlie Popiya had succeeded to the throne of King Chenla.

The letter described in detail about Manchuria and Siam's newly established dynasty, Ayutthaya, jointly sending troops to Chenla.

If Duke Liang of the Ming Dynasty hadn't discovered Ayutthaya's conspiracy when he entered Chenla, he would have fought a battle with Ayutthaya's 100,000 soldiers along the coast.

Then it is very likely that Chenla has already perished.

When Amona saw the content of the letter, his back instantly became wet.

Even now, I feel a little scared.

In the letter, His Majesty the King told him that Chenla was now unable to cope with the Ayutthaya Dynasty, and the only way to save Chenla was to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty.

When he succeeded to the throne, Siam wanted to invade. Duke Cao Guogong of the Ming Dynasty sent a letter to Siam, so that Ayutthaya's troops at the border could not move, allowing him to seize the throne.

Because many nobles were executed after inheriting the throne, Chenla is now very weak.

Sereppa Piya hoped that Amona would tell Sultana and ask him to ask for the help of the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty to mediate the war between the Ayutthaya Dynasty and Chenla.

Although the Liang Kingdom is now retaliating against the Ayutthaya Dynasty, Shenlie Piya himself knows that it is difficult for the Ming Dynasty to directly intervene in the war, and it is the best way for the Ming Dynasty to mediate.

This will not affect the Ming Dynasty, and Zhenla will also have a chance to breathe.

At dawn.

Amona hurried out without even bothering to explain anything to his colleagues.

It was more than a month ago that the letter arrived at Amona, and he was really worried that Chenla was now on the verge of national collapse.

Every breath seemed so urgent.

As a foreign envoy stationed in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible for Amona to go directly to the palace.

If he wants to ask to see His Majesty the Ming Emperor, or if he wants to see the current Sultana and Concubine Dan, he must send a message through the Ministry of Rites.

After getting permission, he will be given a specific time and will be led into the palace by the eunuchs in the palace.

Among the many foreign ministers, only Amona has this power, because Empress Danfei is their princess of Zhenla.

"Hey, isn't this Amona? Where are you rushing to in such a hurry?"

"Oh, look at my memory, the news about Zhenla came last night. It's been more than a month, and I don't know if Zhenla has subjugated the country."

"It would be very interesting if the country was destroyed."

Amona looked fiercely at the person speaking in front of him. He knew that it was Kanaye, the chief envoy of the Ayutthaya Dynasty.

Obviously, Kanaye also received news about Chenla.

It's not a coincidence that we met here.

Chenla and Ayutthaya have been at war, and the relationship between Amona and Kanaya is of course very bad.

After Kanaya received the news last night, he specifically asked his subordinates to wake him up earlier, just to see Amona's panic.

Now that I have seen it, I feel very happy.

Amona snorted coldly and did not pay attention to Kanaye. The domestic situation was the most urgent.

Seeing Amona's hurried look, Kanaye chuckled, turned around and walked towards his house.

He got up too early, he still had to go back to sleep.

Amona jogged all the way and soon arrived at the Rites Yamen in Tianjie Temple.

There is a sign hanging on the door: Ministry of Rites, Host and Guest, Qing Officials Division.

This is a two-entry courtyard.

Apparently Amona arrived a little early and the courtyard door was closed.

Amona also knew that he was early, so he could only wait.

I don’t know how long I have been waiting. Anyway, in Amona’s heart, I feel that the day has passed, but in fact, the sky has just brightened.

With a creaking sound, the courtyard door slowly opened.

Six government officials came out and stood on both sides.

"Amona, the envoy of Zhenla, requested to meet with the head of the Ministry of Etiquette."

After saying that, Amona took out the waist badge issued to him by the Ministry of Etiquette.

The officer in front of the door took it, checked it, handed it back to Amona and said, "Please come in."

Amona then hurriedly walked in.

He is very familiar with this place, or every envoy is familiar with it.

When paying tribute, the envoys would come here to discuss with the officials of the Ministry of Rites about the price of the goods.

There are also new envoys who have to come here to receive Ming etiquette training.

This is so that if you are summoned by His Majesty, you will not be displeased by being rude.

Although ordinary envoys are rarely summoned by His Majesty.

Amona came to an office lobby and once again explained the situation to the government servant on duty at the door.

After the yamen officer went in to report, he came out and said to Amona: "Go in."

Amona nodded and walked in.

Seeing the officials in the lobby, Amona's eyes lit up, and then he bowed and said, "Mr. Li."

Manager Li was writing something on his eucalyptus. When he heard the voice, he looked up and said with a smile: "It turns out to be you, Amona. We just opened the door and you rushed over."

Chief Li is the chief officer of the Department of Hosts and Guests of the Ministry of Rites, and is the sixth rank.

There are three principals here, who are jointly responsible for foreign affairs.

Amona quickly apologized and said with a smile: "I am in a hurry. There are frequent wars in Zhenla. I would like to request an interview with our princess, Concubine Dan, and I would also like to ask Chief Li to help report."

Manager Li frowned slightly, thought about it and said, "I'm afraid this matter won't be easy to handle."

When Amona heard this, he immediately took out an envelope from his sleeve, walked a few steps forward to Director Li, put the envelope into the books on the table and tucked it away.

He bowed and whispered: "Please help Mr. Li, and I will thank you very much afterwards."

Amona was also fortunate that after the eldest prince became His Majesty the King, he immediately sent a lot of money to his side.

Otherwise, like the current situation, he really doesn't know how to open the way.

Manager Li smiled, took out the envelope from the book, put it on the table, and pushed it toward Amona.

Then he said: "Aren't you harming me? As the head of the Ministry of Rites, how can I accept bribes?"

But he cursed secretly in his heart: How could you give a gift like this? You are such an idiot.

Amona thought that Mr. Li thought he was short of money, so he took the envelope and was about to open it. There were hundreds of treasure notes here, a total of twenty, or two thousand.

However, Chief Li took the first step and put his hand on Amona's hand, and then explained: "It's not that I won't help you report it, but it's just that you can't report it now."

Amona heard this and asked, "What do you mean, sir?"
