Of course, given his current situation, he dared not say anything too definitive, so he could only speak in the most favorable manner possible:

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty, you and the Crown Prince of the Great Ming Dynasty promised to send 200,000 troops to help us fight against the Chechi Kingdom. But now that my Gaochang Kingdom is about to be destroyed, the Great Ming army is slow to arrive and is not coming to help us. Why is that?"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately looked at Zhu Yunwen and said:

"It seems you made such a promise before."

Zhu Yunwen nodded and said:

"That's right, but our Great Ming is so far away from your Gaochang and Chechi kingdoms, we need to make preparations. But I didn't expect Chechi to act so quickly."

"My Great Ming Dynasty hasn't even had a chance to help you, and they've already nearly destroyed your country. Don't blame me for that."

The King of Gaochang immediately understood that Zhu Yunwen was doing this on purpose, and he was somewhat angry, saying:

"So, does the Ming Dynasty intend to help my Gaochang Kingdom, or not? Even if the Ming army needs to prepare, it doesn't need to take this long, does it? If the Ming Dynasty doesn't want to help, it can just say so. There's no need to play games with our Gaochang Kingdom like this."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunwen's face darkened, and he coldly said:

"Does your Gaochang Kingdom know that my Great Ming is just playing with you? This is originally a matter between your Gaochang and Chechi Kingdoms."

You, however, used some schemes to drag my Great Ming into this mess, intending to use my Great Ming to solve the crisis for your Gaochang Kingdom.

Don't you find such behavior shameful? Or do you think our Great Ming Dynasty is foolish enough to be manipulated by your mere Gaochang Kingdom?

The King of Gaochang was speechless after being rebuked by Zhu Yunwen. After a moment of silence, he spoke again:

"Although my Gaochang Kingdom does intend to use the Ming Dynasty, the current situation is that your Ming Dynasty has also made it clear that it is willing to help my Gaochang Kingdom."

You've also offended the Kingdom of Chechi, and things have come to this point, yet you haven't sent any troops. Don't you realize you've offended both countries?

Zhu Yunwen sneered:

"So what? So what if we've offended them? My Great Ming has never taken Chechi Kingdom and Gaochang Kingdom seriously."

The reason we promised to help you deal with Chechi Kingdom is because we are not afraid of Chechi Kingdom.

The reason we didn't send troops to rescue you in the end was because we couldn't let Gaochang's conspiracy succeed.

As for whether it will offend your two countries, is that important to my Great Ming?
