After coming out of the Huagai Palace, Zhu Ying began to inspect the twelve personal guards.

There are less than ten days left until the first day of October, which is an important day for Zhu Ying.

At the same time, Zhu Ying also suggested to the old man that a Ming military parade should be held around noon after the morning ceremony.

The location for the military parade was chosen to be at the gate of the imperial palace, and all citizens would be allowed to watch.

The most important thing is the envoys from all tributary states. This is the best time to demonstrate military power.

Especially the Piermaheima.

Thinking of Pier Ma Heima, Zhu Ying couldn't help but ask Ye Yueqing beside him: "What is Pier Ma Heima doing recently?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yueqing smiled and said, "Reporting to His Highness, recently Pier Ma Heima and His Highness Yun Wen have been getting along very well. The two hit it off right away and have been traveling around the capital for the past few days."

Although Pirmahema came with the envoy team, he was not actually an envoy but more like a tourist.

Previously, through Zhu Ying’s thirty-seventh disciple Zhou Bingyan, I had a deep understanding of the royal family.

At the same time, he also entrusted Zhou Bingyan to pass a message to His Highness Yunwen and meet him.

After reporting to Ye Yueqing and obtaining Zhu Ying's permission, the people from the Qun Ying Chamber of Commerce found Huang Zicheng and asked him to convey the message.

Currently, not many people know about the relationship between the Qun Ying Chamber of Commerce and Zhu Ying, and many people are very secretive about it. Huang Zicheng does not know that the Qun Ying Chamber of Commerce belongs to His Royal Highness the Chang Sun.

For this reason, he did not refuse the benefits sent by the Chamber of Commerce, but accepted them directly.

Huang Zicheng, who had benefited from it, naturally worked harder in conveying the message. The key point was that Pierma Heima's situation was very similar to Zhu Yunwen's situation.

Both of them have older brothers and are second in line to the throne. Their grandfathers were emperors, their fathers are dead, and their ages are not much different.

Upon hearing this news, Zhu Yunwen immediately became interested and went out of the palace to meet Pierma Heima.

"I was saying that during the morning court session just now, this guy was absent-minded about the Duke of Liang's affairs. It seems that he wanted to leave the court early and go meet his good friends."

"At this time, I'm afraid he has already met Pierma Heima."

Zhu Ying asked with a smile.

Ye Yueqing nodded. As a female official similar to that of His Royal Highness Changsun, she was not qualified to attend the morning court. During the morning court, she would also exchange information with the Embroidered Uniform Guards.

Now the Jinyiwei is nominally under the jurisdiction of Zhu Ying, and Ye Yueqing is the representative of the actual executors.

"Your Highness guessed correctly. After the morning court session, His Highness Yunwen had already left the palace."

After hearing Ye Yueqing's answer, Zhu Ying smiled and continued to patrol the Imperial Guard Station.

In fact, it was a very troublesome thing for the prince to leave the palace. If the prince wanted to leave the palace, he had to get Zhu Yuanzhang's approval.

Later, when Zhu Ying and Zhu Yuanzhang were communicating, it was mentioned that the princes should be allowed to see more of the real situation of the people, and that they would not be too bored in the palace and have too many thoughts in their minds.

Therefore, the princes now have the right to enter the palace on their own when they turn twelve years old.

At this point, many princes were very grateful to His Royal Highness the Grand Prince.

Most of the princes have only been out of the palace for a handful of days since they were born. Who doesn't have a playful heart?

Although the palace is large, it has many rituals. Besides, after living here for more than ten years, it is too boring and everyone wants to go out of the palace to play.

Now that we have the order from His Royal Highness Chang Sun, everyone is overjoyed.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect that just this small thing would make Zhu Ying's status in the hearts of many princes rise sharply.

This is also the reason why Zhu Yunwen gradually accepted his elder brother.

Just as Zhu Ying was inspecting the personal guard station, Zhu Yunwen finally arrived at the Qinhuai River.

There were several Jinyiwei following Zhu Yunwen.

As a prince, normal security precautions are certainly necessary, and any prince who leaves the palace will be protected by the Imperial Guards.

"Brother Yunwen, I've been waiting for you for a long time. It's almost time for lunch. Why did you come here just now?"

On a luxurious two-story boat on the river bank, Pierma Heima looked around and finally waited for Zhu Yunwen.

Zhu Yunwen bowed and said, "Brother Ma Hei, I am not as carefree as you. I have to attend the morning court before dawn. Only after the morning court can I have my own time."

As he was speaking, Zhu Yunwen boarded the ship, and the Jinyiwei also went on alert on the ship.

Piermahem smiled and said, "You Ming Dynasty people are really troublesome. When I was in Samarkand, I never had to worry about these things. My eldest brother took care of them. I could get up whenever I wanted."

"My teacher has to wait until I wake up before he starts teaching me. If I'm not in a good mood, I can just go out and play. I don't need to worry about these things."

When Zhu Yunwen heard what Pierma Heima said, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes.

After all, they are barbarians. Although their status is similar to mine, they really lack teachings on etiquette.

Although it is a bit tiring, I am not as shallow as Ma Heima in front of me.

Zhu Yunwen didn't want to talk more about this, so he talked to Ma Hema about the customs and practices of the Middle East.

The two of them chatted, sipped tea and looked at the scenery on the river.

Zhu Yunwen still felt very comfortable with such a life.

"By the way, Brother Yunwen, I heard from the envoys that on the first day of October ten days later, the Ming Dynasty will hold a grand military parade. Not only will all the envoys who have come to pay tribute be invited to participate, but the common people will also be allowed to watch the ceremony."

"Could you please help me explain the various aspects of this, Brother Yunwen?"

Piermahemada seemed to suddenly remember something and asked.

Pirmahema was very jealous of this grand military parade. All the envoys were very excited when they received the news. They could see the situation of the most elite army of the Ming Dynasty from the parade.

Especially people like Ma Hema, who were somewhat hesitant about paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty, attached greater importance to this matter.

The location has not been officially announced yet, but Pirmahema has already instructed the envoys to get the best viewing position no matter what the cost.

Over at Tianjie Temple, the officials in charge of contacting foreign envoys have been extremely busy ever since this notice was issued, and every day they are trying their best to get the envoys a specific location to watch the ceremony.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunwen's eyes dimmed for a moment, but he immediately recovered and said, "This military parade was arranged by my eldest brother, His Royal Highness Changsun. The first day of October was also the day my eldest brother was canonized as the Crown Prince."

Upon hearing these words, Pierma Heima immediately closed his lips, knowing that this had touched Zhu Yunwen's sore spot.

Pierma Heima knew some information about Zhu Yunwen, and he felt that this was the only difference between Zhu Yunwen and himself.

My eldest brother has been alive and well all this time. Pierma Heima is a posthumous child, as his father died when he was born.

So since he was old enough to understand, Pirmahamad's elder brother, Mahma Sultan, had already been the heir to the Timurid Empire, but he had never experienced the same pain as Zhu Yunwen.

He wanted to say something, but Piermahemama didn't know how to say it.

He also knew that Zhu Yunwen's elder brother had only returned several months ago.

From Pierma Heima's perspective, it seemed normal that Zhu Yunwen's elder brother returned after disappearing for ten years.

Because there are too many such situations on the grassland, it is easy to get lost during migration. Nomadic peoples often encounter this kind of situation.

But for Zhu Yunwen in front of him, he must be in a very bad mood.

After Zhu Yunwen finished speaking, he also sensed Pierma Heima's thoughts, so he continued, "My elder brother is far inferior to me in both literary and military skills. He is a natural king, and even if he is living in exile, he is still very powerful."

Seeing that Pier Ma Heima seemed a little unconvinced, he casually said, "You may not know yet, but the Heroes Chamber of Commerce was founded by my eldest brother when he was wandering outside. I don't know if you have heard of it. It is said to be very famous in the Western Regions."

"What!"

When Pierma Heima heard this, he was shocked and stood up from his seat instantly.

Zhu Yunwen was so shocked by Pierma Heima's reaction that he accidentally spilled some of the tea in his hand.

"Brother Ma Hei, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Yunwen asked in surprise.

Pier Ma Heima quickly explained: "Nothing, nothing, I didn't expect that the Qun Ying Chamber of Commerce was founded by your eldest brother."

As he spoke, Pierma Heima's voice sounded a little flustered.

Zhu Yunwen continued, "I think Brother Ma Hei must have heard of it. My elder brother is truly a man of great talent and is blessed with great talents."

Pierma Heima smiled awkwardly, but the shock in his heart still continued.

He had more than just heard of it. The Qun Ying Chamber of Commerce was not very famous in the Ming Dynasty, but it was extremely famous in the Western Regions. It was a force spanning a wide area and had the support of many nobles.

Even Pierma Heima has come into contact with quite a few people from the Qun Ying Chamber of Commerce.

Many precious porcelains, teas, and silks were dumped by the Chamber of Commerce of Heroes. Even many nobles in the Timurid Empire were partners of the Chamber of Commerce of Heroes.

As for the real person behind the Heroes Chamber of Commerce, it has always been a mystery in the entire Western Regions. No one has ever known or even seen him. All we know is that the Heroes Chamber of Commerce is very powerful and has very deep cooperation with many great nobles.

The amount of money he controls is unimaginable.

Even many of the expensive treasures in Samarkand were given to his grandfather Timur by the Chamber of Commerce of Heroes.

However, in the Chamber of Commerce under the Timurid Empire, the main person in charge was not the Han people, but the Sogdians.

"Your elder brother is really amazing."

After a long time, Pierma Heima sighed and said.

Zhu Yunwen nodded in agreement. He was now convinced by his elder brother.

From Pierma Heima's reaction just now, it was not difficult for Zhu Yunwen to guess that the Qun Ying Chamber of Commerce under his elder brother's command was probably much more well-known outside the Ming Dynasty than he imagined.

In fact, Pirmahema and Zhu Yunwen did not know that the Qun Ying Chamber of Commerce of the Timurid Empire and the Qun Ying Chamber of Commerce of the Ming Dynasty could strictly speaking be regarded as two different chambers of commerce.

It is more similar to the concept of franchisees in later generations. The heads of the Chamber of Commerce in the Timurid Empire have relatively higher autonomy. They are nominally under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, due to distance restrictions, the decisions are basically made by the Sogdians.

The expansion of the Chamber of Commerce over there is mainly due to the person in charge.

Of course, the model of the Qun Ying Chamber of Commerce and the goods from the Ming Dynasty are also irreplaceable by the Chamber of Commerce in the Timurid Empire.

The core economic lifeline is also controlled by the Chamber of Commerce of the Ming Dynasty.

Businessmen are always profit-seeking, and at least for now, the relationship between the two chambers of commerce is very harmonious.

In fact, there are many such chambers of commerce. In the current scope of the Timurid Empire, there are not only Sogdians, but the Sogdians are the most famous in terms of business.

The Sogdians were an ancient people speaking Middle East Iranian languages ​​from the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers in Central Asia.

From the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, China was active on the Silk Road.

Their business activities promoted economic exchanges and cultural communications between the East and the West, and built a bridge between agricultural civilization and nomadic civilization, and between Eastern civilization and Western civilization. They were called "the Jews of Central Plains."

For example, An Lushan during the Tang Dynasty was a Sogdian.

A large part of the Sogdians were influenced by the Central Plains culture and began to merge with the Han people. However, there are great differences between the Sogdians on Timur's side and those on the Ming side.

"My elder brother is not only good at business, but also very capable in military affairs."

Zhu Yunwen said with a somewhat proud tone.

Perhaps this was the first time that he described his elder brother so proudly in front of outsiders.

Especially when he thought about the time when he was training in the imperial palace martial arts field, his shocking training method would definitely surprise Pirma Heima in front of him.

"Brother Yunwen, what do you mean by that? Could it be that this military parade was mainly organized by your eldest brother, His Royal Highness Changsun?"

Pierma Heima asked.

Organizing and arranging are two different things.

If it was an arrangement, it was done by His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Ming to enhance the reputation of His Royal Highness Chang Sun, but if it was an operation, the concept was completely different.

Zhu Yunwen nodded and said, "That's right, this military parade was organized by my eldest brother alone, and even the training methods of the army were trained by my eldest brother himself."

"Just a month ago, I was also trained by my elder brother at the martial arts training ground in the palace along with many other princes."

"When you see the scene, you will understand it. It is truly spectacular."

Thinking of the scene in the imperial palace at that time, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but feel a little longing for the military parade.

The scale of this military parade is extremely large, with envoys and civilians watching the ceremony, which will definitely shock the world.

When Pierma Heima heard this, he became even more excited.

However, he did not ask for any specific details. After all, it involved the military, and some things were not easy to ask too much about, as the identities of the two were already there.

After thinking for a while, Pier Ma Heima imitated the gesture of bowing and said, "Brother Yun Wen, I do have an unwelcome request."

Zhu Yunwen said: "You and I are friends, if you have any problem, just tell me directly. If I can help, I will definitely not refuse."

Hearing this, Pier Ma Hema immediately said, "Recently, the Tianjie Temple has already notified us about the military parade in the capital, but the specific location for the envoys to watch the ceremony has not yet been decided."

"I would like to ask Brother Yunwen for help to find a good place to watch the ceremony."

When Zhu Yunwen heard this, he felt a little embarrassed.

It's true that he is the grandson of the emperor, but he has no power to arrange anything regarding Tianjie Temple, especially regarding envoys.

Zhu Yunwen, who didn't want to lose face, had to bite the bullet and said, "I have to ask my elder brother for permission on this matter."
