At this time, Zheng Enze, the envoy of the Daling Dynasty, had also returned to the Daling Dynasty with a look of helplessness.
Originally, when I secretly went to the Ming Dynasty, I did it with high spirits, patting my chest to the emperor and promising to complete the mission. But as it turned out, the Ming Dynasty emperor was really difficult to deal with. Faced with such temptation, he still refused.
Strictly refuse without changing his expression. No matter how hard he tries, it will be difficult to get his decision.
In fact, the most important problem is that the princess came out to cause trouble. The emperor of Ming Dynasty and his own princess, when the two of them were at odds, he really didn’t know what to say. After all, even the person involved, the princess who was the beneficiary,
, stood up to oppose, what else could he say.
It's really a headache to return to the Daling Dynasty in such a dejected manner without completing the simple tasks set. However, with a shrewd son-in-law and a confused daughter, the emperor should be more worried than him.
.
Zheng Enze, the palace chief of the Daling Dynasty, stood aside with a face of shame and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I am ashamed of your Majesty's trust. This time I went to the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty emperor rejected your majesty's proposal."
"Oh!" The emperor of the Daling Dynasty was very surprised by this. He could refuse this even if it was a pie in the sky. "What did the emperor of the Ming Dynasty say? Why did he refuse?"
"This..." Zheng Enze took a careful look at his emperor and then said: "Emperor Ming means that the princess of our dynasty can only be a concubine, and the princess also agrees with this."
At this point, Zheng Enze sighed helplessly, "Emperor Ming insists on this, and the princess also agrees. The same insistence. I can't do anything about it!"
"You can only be a concubine, not a queen. Are you afraid that our Daling dynasty will take the opportunity to attack and annex the Ming Dynasty? The emperor of the Ming Dynasty is really careful." After he came to send Zheng Enze out, he regretted that this was a bit rash.
That's the way to go. Now that Emperor Ming has simply refused, that's just right. The Daling Dynasty will not eagerly ask Ming for help again.
Shen Zhize, the emperor of the Daling Dynasty, sighed and said helplessly, "The matter is now over, let's forget it!"
"By the way, Your Majesty." Zheng Enze, who was waiting carefully on the side, seemed to remember something. He touched it from his arms, took out the letter that he had carefully collected, and handed it forward, "Your Majesty, the princess asked me to bring you a letter.
."
"Letter? You still know how to write me a letter, otherwise I would have thought that I had raised such a daughter in vain." Shen Zhize got the letter from Zheng Enze. Shen Zhize slowly read it with a smile on his face. But as the letter continued,
Opening it up, the originally smiling face looked a little more melancholy, and even his brows were wrinkled.
Zheng Enze became nervous all of a sudden. What did the princess say in the letter? How could His Majesty, who always had a straight face, behave like this? Is it possible that the Princess could fall out with His Majesty or even sever ties for the sake of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty? No. However,
Thinking about it on the other hand, with the princess's temper, this is not impossible.
After reading the letter, Shen Zhize held the letter in his hand tightly. He gently raised his hand and put it down helplessly, looking a little hesitant. This look made Zheng Enze who was watching on the side.
Confused.
"Your Majesty, what did the princess say in her letter," Zheng Enze lowered his head and said carefully, "No matter what the princess said, it is still your majesty's flesh and blood. The princess is still young and will inevitably be misled by others. Why is your majesty like this?"
"
"Oh! Read it for yourself!" Shen Zhize sighed softly, and then handed the letter to Zheng Enze, who was thinking about various possibilities. Seeing the letter handed over by the emperor, Zheng Enze hurriedly stepped forward to catch it.
When I opened the letter to Zhi Zhou, the contents of the letter came into view. There was nothing like "I am very good" or "How are you doing", which are common things in calligraphers' books. There were only eight words on the letter: "The country is powerful, think twice before you act!"
"
What does this mean? The Ming Kingdom is still powerful, and the princess is living in confusion in the Ming Kingdom. A mere kingdom has just been promoted to a dynasty, how can it have such great power? Now the Ming Kingdom has just been promoted to a dynasty, and it is still busy dealing with all aspects.
pressure.
Even if the people from the Chiyan Sect came to arrest the Emperor of Ming, the Emperor of Ming was still alive in the end, and the three Supreme Elders were missing. But what does this mean? It can only mean that there was something on the tomb of the Emperor of Ming's ancestors.
Qingyan allowed the Ming Dynasty emperor to escape disaster.
After sorting out his thoughts for a while, Zheng Enze persuaded Shen Zhize, "Your Majesty, the princess only lived in the Ming Kingdom for a period of time and was deceived by the Ming Emperor. Your Majesty does not have to worry..."
"No, Ling'er is right. The Ming Dynasty is powerful, and our Ling Dynasty is small." Before Zheng Enze could finish speaking, Shen Zhize suddenly said this sentence. This made Zheng Enze fall into disgrace, princess.
It’s okay to let the Ming Emperor be deceived. Why did his own emperor say the same thing?
After taking a careful look at his first wife, Zheng Enze whispered, "Your Majesty, our Daling Dynasty has been standing in the world for hundreds of years. The Ming Dynasty was just a country that had just been promoted to a dynasty.
Even if there is some internal problem in the Daling Dynasty, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. How can the Ming Dynasty be comparable to our Daling Dynasty? Moreover, it is said that the Baihua Sect is at odds with the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty emperor does not dare to be there at all.
Any objections before Baihua Sect?"
"No!" Shen Zhize waved his hand gently, "The strength of the Ming Kingdom is unfathomable. When the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom was in our Daling Dynasty, his men silently killed many elders of the Chiyan Sect and captured them alive for law enforcement.
Elders, their skills are unfathomable. Moreover, their respect for Emperor Ming is definitely not false. This alone is enough to illustrate the depth of Ming's strength."
"As for the Baihua Sect, I have heard about this sect for a long time. It has always wanted to find a place to settle down, and its attitude is extremely peaceful. Now that the Baihua Sect is settled in the Ming Kingdom, it will never act like this. It will definitely make the Ming Kingdom and Baihua Sect
If the sect turns against each other, the Baihua Sect may lose the place it finally gained with great difficulty. Therefore, the Baihua Sect will never do such a thing."
At this time, no matter how stupid Zheng Enze was, he still heard, "What does your Majesty mean...?"
"As soon as the envoys from the Yan Dynasty arrived, the Baihua Sect seemed to have fallen out with the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The timing was so coincidental. Moreover, facing the envoys from the Yan Dynasty, they did not give any face to them. This is too unreasonable." Shen Zhize
He smiled disdainfully and said, "If it's not that Baihua Sect is at odds with Liu Yu, then all of Baihua Sect has surrendered to the Ming Dynasty."
"Ah!" Zheng Enze thought for a while and asked doubtfully, "Your Majesty, Baihua Sect is also a second-level sect after all, and will not give in so easily."
"It's hard to say. In order to survive, it's okay to submit to others or cooperate temporarily." Shen Zhize raised the letter in his hand and said lightly, "The letter Ling'er gave me now illustrates the problem. Ling'er
He is a filial child. Even if his heart is attached to Emperor Ming now, he will not deceive me. This really shows that the strength of Ming Kingdom is really extraordinary. Now that Baihua Sect is helping him, he is even more powerful."
"Then why didn't Emperor Ming agree to the conditions of the Daling Dynasty, so that he could take the opportunity to annex me..." At this point, Zheng Enze immediately shut his mouth and did not dare to finish the sentence.
"It doesn't matter, I also know what you want to say." Shen Zhize generously excused Zheng Enze's mistake, and then said coldly, "The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is a sensible person and knows how to choose. If Feng Ling'er becomes the queen now, he will annex me in the future.
After the Daling Dynasty, the royal children of my Daling Dynasty will definitely become the most powerful. Killing them rashly will lead to the infamy of crossing the river and burning the bridge. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty had a good plan."
"Your Majesty, if the Ming Dynasty is really strong, how should our Daling Dynasty make a decision?"
"Originally, I planned to simply give the Daling Dynasty to this son-in-law, but now," Shen Zhize took a few steps lightly, "Since Emperor Ming does not have my good intentions, then forget it. The provincial good intentions will be regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs."
Only then did Zheng Enze realize that his emperor really knew how to offer his hands to the Daling Dynasty. But fortunately, looking at it like this, he regretted it after calming down.
"Your Majesty!" Just as the two of them were talking, a chamberlain hurried over sweating profusely and said loudly, "Your Majesty, the elder of the Chiyan Sect has arrived and wants to receive you!"
