"Wen Di has returned to Beijing?" After hearing Lu Yi's words, a woman's voice was full of surprise.
"Yes, Concubine Yun, the news just came from the pier. His Highness Seventh Prince has arrived at the pier and should have disembarked by now." Lu Yi paused and added a few words: "Captain Li commanded the Indian Ocean Fleet to escort His Highness back. Now,
We have also arrived in the capital; the princess of Aragon has also arrived in the capital together with His Majesty the Seventh Prince."
"The princess of Aragon is also here?" When she heard that her future daughter-in-law had also come to the capital, Li Shaer suddenly stopped caring about her elder brother and said in even greater surprise.
"Yes, empress." Lu Yi replied.
"Here, here, Wen Xing, quickly, take out all my clothes, I want to choose carefully." Li Shaer said again.
"Look at you, it doesn't feel like you are meeting your daughter-in-law, but rather like you are meeting your mother-in-law." Yun said with a smile.
"Isn't this the first time I've met my daughter-in-law? Besides, she's still a daughter-in-law, so of course she's nervous." Li Sha'er retorted.
"Just because she is Fulai's daughter-in-law, you don't have to be nervous." Yun said with a smile. The local daughter-in-laws of Daming Dynasty inevitably have various relationships, and maybe one relationship will force Li Shaer to treat it with caution; but Fulai
The daughter-in-law of the Ming Dynasty will not have various relationships in the Ming Dynasty. The national power of the Ming Dynasty far exceeds the alliance of Castile and Aragon. Facing such a daughter-in-law, no matter how Li Shaer treats her
It doesn't matter.
"That's not what you say," Li Sha'er said: "If Wen Di has a very good relationship with this daughter-in-law named Leonore, and if I treat Leonore badly, won't it affect the relationship between our mother and son?
From now on, we, mother and son, will be able to see each other for at least five or six years, and our relationship is not so easy to make up for."
'Moreover, Wen Di's fiefdom is far in the west, as far away from the Ming Dynasty as it is, but very close to the country of Aragon. If I treat Leonore badly and she cries to her relatives after she goes back, it will definitely affect Wen Di.
The development of the fiefdom. Even if I want my son's fiefdom to last forever, I can't treat her badly.' Li Sha'er thought in her heart again but didn't say it out loud.
"What you are saying is true. No matter what the relationship between the two of them is, you should not treat Leonore badly. However, you can't see Leonore today. Even if envoys from foreign countries who often go to the Ming Dynasty want to see me, they will have to pay homage to me.
To teach three days of etiquette, Leonore has never been to the Ming Dynasty, or even to the Central Plains. It takes many days of etiquette instruction before she can meet her. You couldn't see her a few years ago," Yun said with a smile.
"I forgot." Li Sha'er, who was about to start choosing clothes, heard this and said with some disappointment: "I forgot this rule." But she immediately became excited again: "Even if I can't see you,
When I go to Leonor, I always see Wen Di, so I just want to ask him if he likes Leonor first."
"By the way, we need to clean his palace. Although there are servants who clean it on weekdays, they will be a little slack when the master is not around. This time, we must let them clean it carefully. If they can't clean up the dust, I will definitely
There will be severe punishments; the house must be re-decorated, I think about it, it should be..." Li Shaer started chirping again.
Yun originally wanted to spend the day with her and Wen'er today, but when he saw that Li Shaer was too concerned about his son, he could no longer care about him. Moreover, Wen Di would definitely come to see him immediately after returning to Beijing, and he also had some things to tell him.
, after breakfast, I spoke to Li Shaer and left the palace.
He came to Qianqing Palace, briefly glanced at the memorials on the table, and saw that they were all still admonishing Cao Zheng, who was named Huaiyuan Bo. He told his servants to stay here and stop reading. He came to the back hall. I took out the documents and memorials sent back from Egypt a few days ago and looked at them.
He watched for a while, and after the general had finished reading all these documents and memorials, Lu Yi walked in and whispered: "Guan family, His Highness Seventh is waiting outside, can His Highness come in?"
"Let him come in." Yun said immediately. Lu Yi agreed and stepped back. After a while, a tall man with dark skin walked in, faced Yun and saluted, "I have met my father, father." Long live the emperor!"
"Get up, get up!" Yun shouted excitedly: "Why do we need so many courtesy between father and son? Lu Yi, help him up quickly."
"Dad, Eunuch Lu can't help his son." Wen Di said with a smile.
"Guan family, His Majesty Seventh Prince is getting stronger and stronger, and I really can't help you." Lu Yi also said with a smile.
"Then father will help you up." Yun smiled and stood up, walked to Wen Di, and leaned forward to help him up. Of course, Wen Di did not dare to let his father help him with force, and stood up by himself according to Yun's strength. He stood up. Lu Yi on the side slipped away quietly at this moment.
"You are indeed a lot stronger." Yun reached out and patted his shoulders and chest, smiling: "Much stronger than before."
"But why did it become so dark? And you have been overseas for nearly a year, have you suffered any injuries?" Yun said with concern: "I don't know you are outside, even if you are injured, as long as it is not life-threatening, you will not be harmed. My family told me to take off my clothes quickly and let my father see if he is hurt."
"My son has never been injured, really." Wen Di said with a smile: "My son doesn't personally lead the troops to kill the enemy. He stands behind the formation and uses his clairvoyance to see the battlefield situation. Even if he goes into battle himself, the Mamluks' artillery range will not be the same." Even my son was careful to avoid it, so how could he be hurt?"
But even though he said this, Yun still forced him to take off his shirt and inspected it himself before giving up.
"Dad, the sun in Egypt is too poisonous. My son felt that he didn't stay outside for long, but he got sunburned like this. Later, my son discovered that the locals wear strange-looking robes on weekdays. With this Planting robes will prevent them from looking like Kunlun slaves." Wen Di added.
"It's better to be darker, it will look more handsome." Yun said with a smile.
"My son doesn't think he is handsome when he is black." Wen Di also said with a smile.
The father and son exchanged pleasantries for a while, and continued talking about the meal. During the meal, Wen Di also talked about several strange local meals, as well as jokes about the strange meals made by the soldiers who conquered Egypt, which made Yun laugh endlessly.
After taking a nap at noon, the father and son began to talk about business in the afternoon. "Father, I read the memorial. You have pacified the entire territory of Egypt and occupied the Isthmus of Suez. Are you sending people to explore the terrain and prepare to build a tram or a canal?" Yun said.
"Yes, father, my son occupied Egypt in August. At the end of the month, General Cao personally led the troops to occupy the Isthmus of Suez. After that, my son went to the country of Aragon to propose marriage, and then to the country of Castile to meet Queen Catherine, the regent of this country. After that, my son Return to Egypt, finish handling the matters that need to be dealt with, and return to the capital by boat." Wen Di briefly talked about what he had done in the past few months.
"By the way, my son has something to apologize to his father for." Wen Di hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said: "Before leaving the capital, my mother asked her son to bring back the woman who was engaged to him, but the Crown Prince of Aragon, A Fangso also said that Leonor followed me to the Central Plains like this. His name was unjust, and he asked me to propose marriage to the country of Aragon immediately. His son thought that this was okay, so he agreed. But Alfonso also asked that his son must be the king of the country. When a son proposes a marriage in his name, the son has no choice but to call himself the Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of Egypt without being granted the title by his father, and proposes marriage to the Kingdom of Aragon in the name of the Grand Duke."
"Although this was an act of obedience to authority, it was still against the rules, so the son asked his father to apologize."
The first time he heard Wen Di's words, Yun was a little unhappy. Although he had long said that he would make Wen Di the vassal king, after all, the imperial edict had not yet been issued, and Wen Di's doing so was an act of transgression. But things were different.
After doing it, Fu's country probably knows about it, so why can't he depose him as king? As for other punishments, there is no need. Yun just said: "What you did is indeed inappropriate, but it is also a matter of urgency.
, father will not punish you. But remember, it will not be the same again."
"Yes, father." Wen Di said hurriedly.
"How many people in Egypt were slaughtered?" Yun asked again.
"Father, ever since his son led the troops to land at Sefaj Port, he has been attacking local people in the villages along the way when he marched from south to north. First he requisitioned food, then he requisitioned, and after the requisitioned people were executed, the entire village was requisitioned.
"People," Wen Di didn't finish the sentence, as if he couldn't bear to say it. He paused before continuing: "The local people from Qina to Beni Suave disappeared like this."
"After arriving north of Fayoum, since the population from here onwards is very dense and widely dispersed, it is difficult for the locals to avoid leaking the news if it is solved in this way, so the son changed his strategy and still forced the people to be recruited, but he did not include them.
Instead of putting them to death, let them work and build the Suez Canal or tramcars, and at the same time introduce people from Fu and India. After there are more local Fu or Indian people, let the locals disappear. But the city of Cairo
People, because it is common for countries to launch armies and plunder after seizing a big city, they took advantage of it to deal with all the people in the city." Wen Di said. If the incident of dealing with the Egyptian locals spread, the impact would be too bad, so Wen Di did not
Write it in a memorial letter and tell your father face to face.
"That's okay." Yun nodded. "It's better to deal with it this way. It's safer. However, Cao Xing will take the blame for you when you deal with the locals during the march and massacre in Cairo. If you deal with it this way, you can deal with the locals in a few years."
When you are in trouble, who will take the blame for you?"
"Of course it's the Fu people." Wen Di thought about this question and came up with the answer. "The Fu people all believe in the Cross religion and have been fighting with the Tianfang believers for hundreds of years. They hate each other very much. It can provoke conflicts between them.
conflict, allowing the Cross believers to deal with the Tianfang believers, thereby eliminating all the local people."
"Okay." Yun praised, "It's good that you can think of this."
"Thank you father for the compliment." Wen Di said with a smile.
