Hao Fenglou was silent. He felt a little understanding of the person he had been secretly slandering as the old guy. He glanced at Hao Zheng deeply and said, "Tomorrow, my son will come to the palace with his father to thank you."

Hao Zheng smiled slightly, patted his shoulder and said, "Then go to bed earlier, and you will get up early tomorrow."

Hao Fenglou was worried and wanted to tell Hao's mother about this, but in the end he gave up the idea. In fact, he knew a little about Hao Zheng's thoughts. People must have some meaning in life in the world. In fact, just like himself, they are constantly in trouble and take risks. Isn't it hope that what they do is more meaningful?

The next morning, the father and son entered the palace to meet.

There was no court discussion on this day, and Zhu Di got up early as usual. He was in a good mood. When he heard Hao Fenglou and his son coming to thank him, Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and asked Zheng He with a smile: "What expression did they have when they came? Hao Fenglou's face, I think it's not very good."

Zheng He smiled and said, "Things are not there, aren't thunder, rain and dew all the kindness of heaven?"

Zhu Di glanced at Zheng He and said with a deep meaning: "Do you think this is thunder?"

Zheng He hurriedly said, "I didn't say that."

Zhu Di smiled and said, "Let Hao Zheng come in and speak first, I don't want to see their father and son at the same time."

Zheng He nodded gently, and after a while, he called Hao Zheng in. Hao Zheng, wearing a new court robes, came in and fell to the ground, saying, "My minister Hao Zheng, have you seen Your Majesty."

Zhu Di said with a smile: "Get up, there is no need to be too polite."

Hao Zheng stood up and seemed a little nervous.

Zhu Di then said, "How about it? You have read the imperial edict. What are your thoughts? Come and talk to me."

Hao Zheng said seriously: "Your Majesty is so kind that I ordered the merits to enfeoff the land. I am so grateful to me. However, I learned that this fief is located at the junction of Annan, and now the fief has been invaded by Annan. Since I am solemnly enfeoffed there, I am so responsible for guarding the land. I dare not stay in the capital for a long time. I beg Your Majesty to enfeoff the empress immediately."

Zhu Di looked at Hao Zheng with a smile and said, "Well, what you said makes sense. You have a responsibility to defend your territory. These four words are well said. What we are afraid of in the Ming Dynasty are those officials who shirk responsibility when encountering problems. It is very rare for you to understand this truth. Since that is the case, I will add you as the deputy envoy of Annan. Follow the envoy of the Ministry of Rites to ask for land. Remember, I will only give you half a year. Within half a year, if Annan does not hand over the invaded land, you should return to the country immediately. Do you understand?"

Half a year... This period seems to be a bit tight. It is important to know that from Nanjing to Annan, various receptions and greetings along the way will take several months. When you arrive in Annan, you will still start lobbying and mediate with the people of Annan. There will definitely be fierce discussions within Annan. Half a year is really compact.

But Hao Zheng understood that half a year later, he was afraid that the Ming Dynasty would make all preparations and then dispatch troops. Because his son Hao Fenglou had talked to him, he said that there was a memorial in the mansion that impeached Yunnan Wubei in the recent report.

Yunnan is the basic foundation of the Mu family. Although the Mu family is far away from the court, it is not completely powerless. It is an ordinary envoy. How dare you eat enough to criticize the Duke of Qian? The only possibility is that this was Zhu Di's instructor, and he used the excuse to knock it out to convey a signal to Yunnan. The Mu family understood it and immediately began to prepare to purify the troops.

Half a year is enough.

Moreover, the imperial court also began to transport large quantities of grain in Guangxi, and the troops and horses moved forward before they moved their food and grass, which has always been the case since ancient times.

If negotiations fail within half a year, you must come back, otherwise once the Ming army starts to dispatch, the people on an Annan mission will be in danger.

Hao Zhengdao: "There are my husbands who obey the order."

Zhu Di smiled again and said gently: "Hao Aiqing, this is the first time I have seen you. Although I am not familiar with you, I think you are also a loyal person. Thank you for your hard work this time. Let's take care of yourself throughout the journey."

Hao Zheng thanked again and said goodbye.

Everything went smoothly. Hao Zheng carefully recalled Zhu Di's words and knew that Zhu Di had made various arrangements before he thanked him, and all he had to do was follow the envoy of the Ministry of Rites and prepare to set out to a field he had never touched, and do something he usually dared not do but had to do.

When Hao Fenglou saw his father coming out, a eunuch called him to meet him. The father and son had their eyes intertwined, and everything was silent.

"Mr. Hao Fenglou, I have met Your Majesty."

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and looked at Hao Fenglou who was saluting him and said, "Look up."

Hao Fenglou raised his head.

Zhu Di sighed and said, "I seem to be resentful when I see you, right? Alas, I'm so young that I just complain, it's not a good thing. Why, who bullies you?"

Hao Fenglou looked at his eyes and his nose, and said lightly: "I have no resentment."

"You have it!" Zhu Di's eyes became deeper, and he pointed to Hao Fenglou and said, "Don't want to hide it from me, I'll see it."

Hao Fenglou had no choice but to say: "I do have resentment."

Zhu Difu said in the case: "Where does this resentment come from?"

Hao Fenglou said: "Your Majesty really wants me to tell the truth?"

Zhu Di said directly: "But it's okay."

Hao Fenglou said: "Weichen's father is not young at all. He has miasma along the way when he goes to Annan, and the mountains are high and the waters are far away. He is used to being respectful and superior..."

Zhu Di said, "I knew you would plead. After all, your resentment was against me." He suddenly rose up, with an unhappy expression on his face, then he looked behind his back, not looking at Hao Fenglou, but looking at the red pillars in the hall like bridge piers, and said with a solemn expression: "Do you think I was deliberately making things difficult for you father and son, and was deliberately trying to mess with you father and son? You were wrong, Hao Fenglou, I have taught you many principles, but there is one reason, you still don't understand, there is no gift in this world, do you know? Although what I saw and heard were all the ministers who were grateful and said in fear and fear, what were the gratitude and thunder and rain, actually these were all fake, do you believe these lies? I tell you, these are fooling people and those books

Idiot. Your Hao family wants honor for generations, not my reward, but you should rely on yourself. There has never been a generous gift for no reason in this world. Even if I am the same, if I wait for the pie to fall from the world, how can I be today? I sit here to guide the country today, and govern the people on behalf of the heaven and the people. Who do you think you are relying on? I rely on a sword and a sword, and I stand here by stepping on the dry bones of countless people. I am very lucky because I earned a huge foundation and an endless wealth and glory that has been enjoyed for generations. I am the same, and you are the same. Although Lang Shan is small, it is enough to accommodate your Hao family. Of course, if you want to reproduce there for generations and want your descendants to enjoy endless wealth and honor, your father should do what he should do."

Speaking of this, Zhu Di sat down, looked at Hao Fenglou, and continued, "I value you very much, and I believe that your father will not disappoint me. I believe that you also know that I have made up my mind and decided to launch troops in Annan. The so-called mission is just a cover, so your father can come back and report. Then my Ming army and horses divided into two groups to capture Annan. According to my estimate, I can take Annan in at most one year. At that time, the fief of the Hao family will naturally belong to your family, but if you want to eat ready-made ones, you can't do it."

Hao Fenglou sighed and could only say, "Your Majesty is wise."

Zhu Di smiled and said, "I've said what I should say. Now I'm raising my responsibilities, and you should do your best. Annan Chen family has a son who claims to be the Annan royal family. I have ordered people to investigate. This person is indeed the Annan royal family. Since the Annan Chen Dynasty was usurped, its royal family has been killed by the rebel Hu Jiyao, leaving only this bloodline. If this person had not come to the capital to sue, I'm afraid I'm still in the dark. This person is called Chen Tianping, and he is still in the Honglu Temple. If you have time, get closer to him..." Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and said, "In the future, you have to borrow this person to attack Annan. Do you understand?"

Hao Fenglou quickly understood Zhu Di's meaning. Zhu Di was talking about borrowing the heavy lifting. Logically speaking, the Ming Dynasty would definitely launch an attack on Annan in the name of supporting Chen Tianping, but the word borrowing the heavy lifting had the meaning of exploitation. In other words, Zhu Di did not intend to let Chen Tianping regain the throne from the beginning.

It is better to say that it is about getting closer, and control him in his palms and treat him with courtesy.

Hao Feng Louhe nodded and said, "I understand."

Zhu Di said again: "In addition, Chameng was also an envoy to accuse Annan traitor Hu, who repeatedly provoked Chameng. They had wronged and naturally came to sue. You can also contact them. You are the Jinyiwei. You can understand the details of these people clearly. If you do well, you will be a great achievement."

Hao Fenglou said: "Why, Hu is so bold? He dares to launch troops against Chameng Kingdom at this critical moment?"

Zhu Di said: "The traitor Hu Jimao has always been ambitious. This is why I decided to send troops. How can I allow others to snore under me? He is a small traitor with such great ambitions. He not only usurped the throne, but also attacked Zhancheng in the south and invaded the territory of the Ming Dynasty in the north. If he doesn't beat him well, he will sooner or later be in trouble in the future. But I always feel that something is strange. I have met both the envoys of Chameng and Chen Tianping in person. Alas... But what's the problem? I can't explain it clearly. This kind of thing is not my strength. You go and try it. Your father, you don't have to worry. He has his future. Do your own business with peace of mind. Don't worry, the envoys sent to Annan. I will send military and horses to escort them. I will not let them have any accidents."

Hao Fenglou then relaxed a little and hurriedly said, "I obey the order."

Zhu Di smiled and said, "Boy, don't pretend to be bowing your head. Don't I know what kind of virtue you are? Go back."
