……

Nanjing City, Prince Han's Mansion, Zhu Song had just returned to the mansion, and before he could drink his saliva, Zhu Gaochi brought his son Zhu Zhanji, and Zhu Sui brought Zhu Youxuan together.

"Hahaha, Brother Song, didn't I bother you?" In the Chuhua Hall, people arrived before they came, and they were full of energy.

Zhu Song rolled his eyes, and said angrily, "I said I'm not disturbing you, do you believe me?"

"My nephew has met Uncle Song Huang, and my grandson has seen Uncle Song!" A few juniors came along with Zhu Xi.

"Okay, okay, let's avoid those customary etiquette!" Zhu Song stood up and waved his hands, and at the same time ordered: "Serve tea, and then bring some snacks, melons and fruits. It has been more than an hour in the early morning. I'm really hungry."

Hearing Zhu Song's order, a maid naturally brought hot tea, melons and fruits, and snacks.

"Brother Su, Prince, tell me, did you two agree to come here?" Zhu Song cast a glance at the two who were sitting on the chair, drinking tea silently, and said, "Don't tell me, you two are just Encounter."

"Of course not." Zhu Huan laughed when he heard the words, "Honglu Temple hosts and entertains the kings and royal families of the [-] foreign countries tonight. Didn't the emperor let us accompany you? I came here to ask you when you plan to go!"

"I believe you are a ghost!" Zhu Song muttered, and said: "Go there early, and you have to bring Miaomiao and Xuankun with you. After all, today's dinner will not only include the kings of various countries, but also their royal families. .”

As far as the various countries are concerned, what Zhu Di proposed before, asking them to bring their own queens, princes, and princesses, was not just a joke, they all complied, dragging their families one by one, and even bringing them along to prepare to inherit the throne I brought all my favorite sons and daughters.

Now Zhu Song is more and more convinced that Zhu Di is clearly here for a blind date with the royal family of Ming Dynasty.

"Ah? Uncle Songhuang..." Zhu Gaochi was a little dumbfounded. He could understand bringing the little guy. After all, it was not a formal court meeting, and it seemed lively with the children, but why did he bring Princess Han?

"I know what you want to ask." Zhu Song waved his hand and said, "You forgot that those foreign kings came with their own queens and concubines, how do we gentlemen entertain those female relatives?" ?”

Zhu Huan and Zhu Gaochi didn't expect this, and the expressions on their faces were obviously a little stunned.

"What else?" Zhu Song glanced at the two of them, "Tell me everything, don't hide it."

"Uncle Songhuang, what do you think is the purpose of the father to teach us to accompany you?" Now that Zhu Song has asked, Zhu Gaochi is not hypocritical, "Why does my nephew think that the father has not said anything?"

"Oh?" Zhu Song frowned slightly, looked at Zhu Lu, and said, "Brother Lu, what do you think?"

"Brother Huang, do you want us to test these guys?" Zhu Wei also hesitated.

"Testing?" Zhu Song laughed, and said, "What can you test them for? Today, in front of all the officials of the Ming Dynasty, they all expressed their submission. Why do you want to test them? Is it sincere?"

"Isn't it?" Zhu Wei said in astonishment: "Judging from the situation in the early court, except for a few of these foreign kings, such as Mengka, Steins and others, none of them sincerely surrendered to me, Daming. Brother Huang asked us to accompany us for a while, just to confirm."

"If that's the case, you're thinking wrong." Zhu Song picked up a piece of snack, looked it over carefully for a while, and said:

"Such a simple emotion, we can all see it, brother four can't see it? Don't think too much, brother four wants us to accompany these foreign kings tonight, it's nothing more than our status is enough, if it's just ordinary If the ministers of the second and third ranks go to accompany you, it is hard to guarantee that the kings of various countries will say that our Ming Dynasty does not understand etiquette."

"It's really that simple?" Zhu Wei said incredulously, "Could it be that you really think too much about your brother?"

Zhu Gaochi also had a look of disbelief. Did he know that his father, whether he was doing things or issuing imperial edicts, had a clear purpose. In this situation, there is no reason to be aimless?

"If it's not purposeful..." Looking at the expressions on the faces of the two, Zhu Song knew that they didn't believe it, so he could only continue: "There are also, just go on a blind date for us royal children."

Blind date?What the hell?

If Zhu Huan and Zhu Gaochi were just surprised just now, they are stunned now.

how can that be possible?The kings of twenty foreign countries, His Royal Highness the crown prince, and the two most distinguished princes gathered together for dinner. It turned out to be just a belief program?What about cheating?

"Why, don't you believe it?" Seeing that the two of them and their little nephew Zhu Youxi were all stupefied, Zhu Song was immediately happy, "Look, didn't Brother Sihuang go to invite Zhu Fanbang to come to me with celebrities? When Da Ming participated in the 'Feast of Hundred Nations', he specially added a rule that he must bring their queens, princes and princesses with them?"

"This... yes." Zhu Wei nodded subconsciously.

This is a well-known fact, and almost everyone in Ming Dynasty knows about it.

Zhu Song's eyes sparkled, and he said, "Brother Sihuang did this because of three considerations!"

Chapter 528 Why Are You Here?

"Oh? Let's talk about the three considerations." Zhu Wei asked with his eyes brightened.

"The first point, it's easy to understand. It's nothing more than bringing all the relatives of the kings of Fanbang to our Daming, so that they can have a good look at the demeanor of our Daming."

Zhu Di is still a good-looking person in essence. He is guarding such a big country. Although those foreign countries surrendered to Daming, if they had never been to Daming, they would inevitably be contemptuous. Let them come, really show off, tell They, Daming are very strong!

"One more thing, it's what this king said just now, Brother Four is asking us to go on blind dates for my Ming royal family, princes and grandchildren."

Zhu Song laughed, and said: "Two days ago, this king made a special trip to Honglu Temple and looked at the list of those foreign countries. There are more than 40 foreign countries that came to Ming this time, and there are more than 40 foreign countries. How many princes and princesses are there in the royal family?"

When talking about this, Zhu Song shook his head, and without waiting for anyone to argue, he said, "As for the last point, it's just my guess. Brother Lu, do you know that there were protons during the Warring States period in the Central Plains? "

"Proton?" Zhu Huan understood, but Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Youxuan were a little confused.

"During the Warring States period, there were constant struggles between countries. In order to maintain the short-term peace between the two countries, the two countries would send people to each other as hostages. Most of the hostages were princes or princes and other nobles." Zhu Lu explained to everyone, "The father of the first emperor, Prince Zhuangxiang of Qin, was once a hostage."

When talking about this, Zhu Wei's face changed slightly, and he said, "Brother Song, what do you mean..."

"That's right!" Zhu Song nodded, and said, "This is the most likely. Otherwise, how could the fourth brother add such an inexplicable condition? According to my guess, this may be very likely."

"This... no way?" Zhu Wei shook his head in disbelief, "This is not one or two countries, but at least forty. If Brother Huang really intends to do this, can those guys agree?"

"Hmph, so what if you don't agree?" Zhu Song snorted coldly, and said: "Right now, people are fighting for the knife and I'm for the fish. If they don't agree, can we walk out of our Daming, or just talk about it!"

"It's really unbelievable." Zhu Wei shook his head to himself, "I still don't believe it."

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, it's just my guess anyway." Zhu Song took a sip of tea and continued, "Anyway, after the 'Hundred Nations Feast', everything will be clear."

……

Honglu Temple hosts the dinners for the kings and their royal families of various kingdoms, and it is held in the huge hall of the other courtyard.

When Zhu Song, Zhu Lu and the others arrived at Fanbang Bieyuan, it was just the beginning of the lights.

A horse-drawn carriage is parked on the street outside the other courtyard, and is looked after by a well-known coachman. Everyone has a smile on their face, and the gate of the other courtyard is decorated with lights and festoons. lively.

"Hey, it really looks like that. If you don't know, you'd think there is a happy event in some house!" Zhu Song got out of the carriage, wearing a not-so-luxury robe, and Although the lights were bright, no one noticed him, so no one recognized him.

Zhu Huan and Zhu Gaochi are different from Zhu Song. After all, they represent the court of the Ming Dynasty, and they must not let the court lose face, so they are dressed very luxuriously, with the attitude of landlords and rich people.

"Uncle Songhuang, these are moths made by Honglu Temple." Zhu Gaochi's body was a little plump, so he walked a little slowly. He touched the black beard on his lips and said: " I really don't know what they think, but it's just a dinner, why make it so grand? Could it be that all of these don't cost money?"

Well, this kid is starting to feel sorry for Yin Zi.

"Hey, these won't cost a few coins." Zhu Song replied, "Let's go in quickly, my king will tell you, although the cooks in this other courtyard are not as good as the cooks in my mansion. , but there are still two brushes, we must eat and drink enough today."

Hearing Zhu Song's words, Zhu Su couldn't laugh or cry immediately, that is, this brother, any other prince, would never have such a good attitude. Accompanying guests is accompanying guests, how could he just think about eating and drinking.

Everyone entered the other courtyard, just entered the other courtyard, before they even had time for the celebrity to report, they saw men and women in luxurious clothes, and even children entered the other courtyard all the way.

This made Zhu Song stunned for a moment, and even thought he came to the wrong hospital for a while.
