"Okay, this is what an emperor should be like."
After Zhao Min said this, she walked out from the back hall of the Daming Palace.
Yin Yewang and others all frowned: "Bold Zhao Min, this Daming Palace is not a place you can come to."
Zhao Min still held Zhu'er's wrist tightly in her hand.
She ignored Yin Yewang and others at first, but bowed to Zhang Wuji first.
"Your Majesty."
Zhao Min did not kneel, but she looked very respectful.
King Yin Ye said angrily: "Zhao Min, you are so bold that you dare to bully my daughter. Are you looking for death?"
The Daming Hall suddenly became lively.
The Japanese envoys who had been so arrogant just now were also a little confused. They seemed to have heard Zhang Wuji saying that he wanted to kill him, but before they could react, two more beauties came out.
…
Zhao Min looked at Yin Yewang coldly and said, "Hmph, you defeated general. If I had used a little more strength back then, I would have captured you alive."
Zhang Wuji said coldly: "Min'er, this is the Daming Palace, please leave first. If you have anything to say, wait until I get home and talk to you."
A smile appeared on Zhao Min's lips. She really didn't expect that Zhang Wuji would call her Min'er in front of all the civil and military officials in the court.
Zhao Min was very happy. No matter what, just for calling Zhang Wuji Min, she had to give him some face.
Zhao Min bowed respectfully to Zhang Wuji again and said, "Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me. It was indeed Min'er who was rude today, but Zhu'er insisted on making a bet with me."
"This morning I heard that the Japanese envoys were coming to pay homage. I said that most Japanese people were only up to my chest height. The girl Zhu'er refused to believe me and said I was talking nonsense."
"After all, I was an emperor before, and I have met with foreign envoys before. Zhu'er said I was talking nonsense, so I could only drag her over to see these Japanese people."
Zhang Wuji said: "So that's how it is."
"Then you can pull Zhu'er and take a look. In a while, these Japanese envoys will be beheaded. By that time, they will be even shorter."
It was not until then that Matsui Ichiro believed that he had not heard wrongly, and Yang Xiao also felt that he had wasted his time.
As soon as he saw you, Zhao Min, he felt as if he was shrouded in shadow.
Yang Xiao quickly ordered people to take these Japanese envoys away.
Ichiro Matsui said in broken Chinese: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why are you doing this? Even when two countries are at war, envoys are not killed. Why are you killing me?"
Before Zhang Wuji could say anything, Zhao Min said, "Hmph, why? Because you have thoughts that you shouldn't have."
"When Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty was still alive, the emperor of your country of Japan sent envoys to ask for the coastal territories, using the same tactics as today, saying that they wanted to help my Yuan Dynasty quell the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River. However, at that time, I was not yet the empress of Yuan Dynasty, otherwise I would have done something like Zhang Wuji."
"Whether it's me, Zhang Wuji, or Zhu Yuanzhang, no matter how much we fight, it's our own business. Even if we all die, the Japanese will never succeed."
"When I see your height, I feel sick."
"Okay, Min'er, you're right," Zhang Wuji laughed and said, "That's what I meant."
"The world can only belong to us. Even if I fail, I will never let the Japanese take advantage of us."
"General Yang, hurry up, there will be fewer people in Caishikou soon."
Yang Xiao didn't dare to be negligent any longer: "Yes, sir."
Zhu'er quickly said: "Uncle Yang, don't be anxious. Let me look at this group of Japanese. I made a bet with Zhao Min. If I can't find a Japanese pirate taller than Zhao Min, I'm afraid I will be embarrassed to death."
…
On that day, Caishikou was the busiest place in Beijing.
More than one hundred Japanese envoys were beheaded.
This was the first time that Zhang Wuji killed so many people after he changed Dadu to Beijing.
Before being beheaded, these Japanese envoys asked Zhu'er to estimate their height, but the result was predictable.
I'm afraid Zhu'er will be humiliated tonight!
…
Zhao Min was very happy today. Even when it was time for dinner, she was still in high spirits. She was happy not only because she won the bet with Zhu'er, but also because Zhang Wuji called her Min'er in front of all the civil and military officials in the court. Although she was not the Empress of the Yuan Dynasty anymore, this Min'er still had great value.
"Sister Min'er seems to be in a good mood today": Gong Yu said.
Zhao Min smiled and said, "That's right. I am too lazy to hide anything. Today I broke into the Daming Palace and was a little presumptuous. After all, I am no longer the emperor."
"But Zhang Wuji's call of 'Min'er' saved my face. Even though I am no longer the emperor, I still have my dignity."
Zhang Wuji smiled foolishly: "Min'er, look at what you said, I don't know how to answer you."
After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Zhiruo said, "Zhao Min, I have been accompanying Zhang Wuji in the Daming Palace all year round. If you really treat Zhang Wuji well, you can do the same as me."
Zhao Min said with a wicked smile: "Zhou Zhiruo, aren't you afraid that I will steal your limelight? Be honest with yourself, I am not weaker than you in any way."
Zhou Zhiruo said: "Maybe. I just hope that this enemy can defeat Zhu Yuanzhang smoothly. For this, it doesn't matter if I take some personal risks."
"If you really can steal my limelight, it's your own ability."
Seeing Zhou Zhiruo so serious, Zhao Min felt bored instead.
"I hate your serious look the most. It's more interesting when you quarrel. What I like most is seeing you can't win an argument with me but don't dare to fight me."
Zhou Zhiruo glared at Zhao Min fiercely, but said nothing more.
Zhao Min continued to say to Zhang Wuji: "My dear, the visit of the Japanese delegation to our court has revealed a signal that the Japanese emperor has begun to think about encroaching on our territory again."
"Although you have no intention of joining forces with them, you can at least let Zhu Yuanzhang guard against the coastal areas, especially Fujian. When I was helping Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty to handle government affairs, I felt that there were too many Japanese along the coast, far beyond the scope of normal caravans."
"What's hateful is that you guys made me so anxious back then. There were so many rebel kings in Jiangnan. I wanted to take care of them, but the soldiers I sent out were simply unable to cross the territories of you rebel kings."
"In those years, I was busy fighting you, and you were busy fighting me. With all the fighting, the Japanese might have gotten the upper hand."
"You should write a letter to Zhu Yuanzhang, telling him about Japan's evil ambitions and asking him to send troops to defend the coastal areas. This way, we can kill two birds with one stone."
