The king of Ceylon was quite adept at making excuses, claiming that the matter had nothing to do with him and attempting to deny any connection to the events in an extreme way.
This left Zhu Yunwen somewhat bewildered, thinking to himself that this guy was too good at making excuses.
Of course, this matter cannot be covered up with sophistry, and Zhu Yunwen is no fool.
Therefore, Zhu Yunwen didn't listen to his further nonsense at all, but instead calmly said:
"If you think you can get away with your crimes and mistakes by making excuses like this, then you are sorely mistaken."
I, Zhu Yunwen, am not so easily fooled. The crimes you have committed will not be so easily escaped.
King Ari of Ceylon looked at Zhu Yunwen and said:
"Your Highness, how can you be so unreasonable? No matter what, there must be evidence. In any case, I can only accept the previous matter if there is evidence."
It is hardly convincing to say that the King of Ceylon deliberately killed hundreds of people from your Ming Dynasty based solely on your words.
"It wouldn't be a good thing if word got out, would it? Besides, for the mighty Ming Dynasty to do something like this without any evidence would certainly have a negative impact."
Zhu Yunwen frowned slightly and glanced at the King of Ceylon. He hadn't expected that this guy would dare to threaten him again.
Therefore, Zhu Yunwen spoke with great certainty:
"You'd better not think that saying this will do any good. My Great Ming is not unreasonable, nor do we bully the weak. But, when dealing with someone like you, what difference does it make whether we can produce evidence or not?"
Even without evidence, what harm is there in me destroying you? At this point, you still want to play dumb with me, thinking you can get away with it like this?
Let me tell you this: no matter what you say today, nothing can stop my determination to destroy you. Because destroying you doesn't need many reasons.
Moreover, even if there were no reason to wipe you out, the surrounding countries would only cheer and believe that our Great Ming is ridding the world of evil.
What is the situation and reputation of your Ceylon? Don't you know it yourself?
Upon hearing Zhu Yunwen's words, the King of Ceylon paused slightly, then spoke:
"Is His Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty going to be unreasonable?"
Zhu Yunwen stood up and looked down at King Nayar from the ship, saying:
"You seem not to understand what I'm saying. Fine, you're not qualified to waste your breath on me here."
"Guards! Convey my decree: From this day forward, a new dynasty shall be established in Ceylon."
Furthermore, during Arykunar's reign, he acted recklessly and frequently engaged in acts of robbery against neighboring countries.
Today, all nations are filled with resentment towards it. The Ming Dynasty, acting on behalf of Heaven, destroyed the Kingdom of Ceylon.
"To help this place, a new dynasty will be re-established. Furthermore, the culprit of the Ceylon Kingdom, Arekkunar, is guilty of heinous crimes. I hereby sentence him to immediate execution."
After he finished speaking, Zhu Yunwen said to Ma Sanbao:
"Let's get started."
Ma Sanbao nodded, and then, without giving Naya Liekunair any chance to beg for mercy, he picked up his broadsword and quickly walked towards Naya Liekunair.
Yare was truly terrified; he hadn't expected this grandson of the Ming Dynasty to be so domineering.
Moreover, it directly pronounced his fate, leaving him no chance to refute it.
At the same time, he also deeply regretted that he shouldn't have been so assertive before, and perhaps admitting his mistake back then would have led to a different outcome.
But now it seems too late to say anything.
As Ma Sanbao stepped forward with his knife, Alejandro opened his mouth as if to say something, but Ma Sanbao did not give him a chance. With a sudden swing of his knife, a head flew up and fell to the ground.
Zhu Yunwen took a deep breath and then said to Ma Sanbao:
“Go to the palace and choose someone to help him ascend to the throne and establish a new dynasty. You have three days.”
Ma Sanbao accepted the order and left, while Zhao Qingzhu inquired of Zhu Yunwen:
"Why should we help the people here establish a new dynasty? We could simply ignore it."
Zhu Yunwen smiled and said:
"There are some things we have to do. We can't just leave a mess behind, or people will criticize us. We've destroyed the dynasty here, but we can't let it affect the lives of the people."
If left unchecked, various factions will quickly rise up, vying for control of the area, which would obviously not be good for the people.
Our Great Ming Dynasty stepped in to help them establish a new system and dynasty before chaos ensued, allowing the people to transition directly and preventing potential war.
They directly began to live a relatively good life, and the new dynasty established in this region could also conduct trade with our Great Ming. This was also a good thing.
After hearing Zhu Yuntong's words, Zhao Qingzhu roughly understood and stopped worrying about it.
News of this event quickly spread to other countries. After learning that the Ming Dynasty had decisively crushed King Arakkuner and his dynasty, other neighboring countries sent important officials to the coast of Ceylon and the other two kingdoms to pay homage to the grandson of the emperor, Zhu Yunwen.
They were extremely grateful to Zhu Yunwen for stepping in and resolving the matter.
Zhu Yunwen took this opportunity to have his officials negotiate with officials from various countries on establishing diplomatic relations and trade.
Since we're going to be staying here for a few days anyway, why not establish relationships with all the neighboring countries?
