The King of Baoxiang Kingdom was unaware that the person arguing with their prime minister on the street was actually Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu.
Therefore, he mistakenly believed that the person who had a conflict with their prime minister was just an ordinary citizen of the Ming Dynasty.
Nevertheless, he still wanted to clarify the matter in front of Zhu Yunwen.
Even if the people of the Ming Dynasty were to be punished in the end, he would be in the right, and Zhu Yunwen would have no grounds for complaint.
Moreover, this matter must be dealt with, after all, the prime minister of the country has died.
If the matter isn't thoroughly investigated, what will become of the dignity of the Baoxiang Kingdom? Therefore, he had to consider both whether he would offend the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Yunwen, and also the dignity of the Baoxiang Kingdom.
Therefore, naturally, he needs to resolve this matter using what he considers to be a relatively fair and just approach.
Zhu Yunwen didn't say much, just smiled and wanted to see how things would develop.
Soon, a young man was brought to the court. This young man was the son of the deceased Prime Minister of Baoxiang Kingdom.
Judging from his appearance, he wasn't a good person, but at this moment he looked aggrieved and said to the King of Baoxiang Kingdom sitting above him:
“Your Majesty, my father’s death is too suspicious. I think his death must be related to those two people from the Ming Dynasty.”
The King of Baoxiang Kingdom nodded and said:
"I already know. That's why I've summoned His Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty. If it's confirmed that your father's death is related to those two Ming citizens, then I believe His Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty will certainly not protect those two Ming citizens."
Zhu Yunwen smiled again, and then said:
"That's right, but there has to be evidence."
The son of the Ming Dynasty Chancellor bowed to Zhu Yunwen:
“Your Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, there is indeed evidence for this matter, and I can testify to it. Moreover, my father had dozens of soldiers with him at the time.”
Zhu Yunwen then countered with a question:
"Then I am curious, why would your father lead dozens of soldiers into a conflict with the people of my Great Ming in the streets?"
The prime minister's son was stunned for a moment. Standing before him was the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty, whom even their king feared greatly.
Although he was the son of the prime minister, the difference in their social status was like heaven and earth.
Therefore, he could only answer cautiously:
"Your Highness, there may be some misunderstanding in this matter. But as far as I know, it was these two commoners of the Ming Dynasty who had a conflict with my father on the street, and even insulted him."
They were disrespectful to my country, Baoxiang. My father confronted them, but these two men from the Ming Dynasty, relying on the strength of their Ming, showed no respect for my father, the prime minister of Baoxiang, and their insults became even more excessive.
Furthermore, he repeatedly stated that the Ming Dynasty was very powerful, and that the mere prime minister of Baoxiang Kingdom was not even worthy of carrying the shoes of ordinary people like them. This angered my father, but unexpectedly, these kinds of events ultimately occurred.
Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but show a hint of mockery as he listened to his somewhat ridiculous, hastily made-up lie.
Thinking to himself, this clumsy lie was so obviously fake that it was hard to believe. Who could imagine that a prime minister of a country would be arguing like this with someone from another country in the street?
Does this mean they think the prime minister is a fool, or that they think the people of other countries are fools?
Then Zhu Yunwen said again:
"Oh? Just because of these kinds of things, a dignified prime minister is going to make some kind of deep-seated grudge argument with the people of my Great Ming? Is that normal?"
The prime minister's son even felt that this reason seemed a bit too weak. In fact, he made up this lie in order to leave some reputation for his father and his family.
This led the world to believe that his father died to uphold the dignity of Baoxiang Kingdom, and thus the king of Baoxiang Kingdom would not mistreat his family.
So he continued to refine his lie, saying:
"Of course not. Those two Ming citizens even said that if the Prime Minister dared to say anything more, they had a way to instigate a conflict between the two countries and have the Ming Dynasty destroy Baoxiang Kingdom. They also said that the Ming Dynasty had long had this idea..."
Actually, he wasn't entirely stupid. By saying that, he effectively labeled Zhu Yunwen as someone in a dangerous position.
After all, if this were true, Zhu Yunwen would be angry, feeling that these two subjects of the Ming Dynasty had brought shame upon the Ming.
He also worried that this incident would damage relations between the two countries.
After all, how can matters of national importance be manipulated by two ordinary citizens?
So, under normal circumstances, if Zhu Yunwen heard this, he would definitely be very angry and prepare to teach these two subjects of the Ming Dynasty a lesson.
He also stated that the Ming Dynasty and the Kingdom of Baoxiang would not go to war, as the consequences would have to be considered.
But in reality, Zhu Yunwen still wore a cold smile and even spoke on behalf of the Prime Minister's son:
"So you mean that two arrogant people from my Great Ming Dynasty came to your Baoxiang Kingdom and had a conflict with your Prime Minister."
They even escalated the situation to the point of conflict between the two countries and the possibility of war. That's why your father, the Prime Minister of Baoxiang Kingdom, is so angry and furious.”
The prime minister's son nodded and said:
"That's exactly right!"
He thought his lies were very well-crafted, and some ministers of Baoxiang Kingdom even secretly communicated with him, believing that the prime minister was truly devoted to the country.
