Zhu Qizhen enthusiastically left the two envoys of Chameng and arranged for the imperial kitchen to greet a table of dishes.

These two people helped a lot. If not, how could those civil officials and Qingliu give up easily?

"You two, please don't be polite. My Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette. As the saying goes, guests come with fine wine, and enemies come with war. Chameng Kingdom has been loyal to the Ming Dynasty for many years. I will never ignore your affairs!"

Mahagui and Xuanzhen looked at each other, why do they feel that there is something in the emperor's words?

Looking at the two of them being reserved, Zhu Qizhen still greeted enthusiastically: "Come on, use chopsticks, um... you should be able to use chopsticks, right?"

Xuanzhen whispered in Mahagui's ear, and saw Mahagui pick up the chopsticks and then mumbled something.

Immediately afterwards, Xuanzhen translated: "Thank you, Your Highness Mahagui said..."

Zhu Qizhen suddenly raised his hand and interrupted him.

"In my Ming Dynasty, there is a law called the sin of deceiving the king. Do you know what it means?"

Xuanzhen's face suddenly changed. Just as she was about to translate in Mahagui's ear, she heard Zhu Qizhen continue to say, "Don't translate, I'm talking about you!"

The scene was a little awkward, and Mahagui was a little confused, so he started to talk again, as if asking Xuanzhen what happened.

Xuanzhen didn't answer, but just stood up from the seat and then slowly knelt down.

"The journey from Champa to Daming is long, and bandits on the sea are rampant. Annan pursues troops on the way. The little woman had no choice but to dress up as a man. She did not intend to deceive the emperor, but also asked the emperor to forgive her."

As she spoke, she took off the turban and revealed her true face.

Mahagui already understood what was going on, so he hurriedly knelt aside and said something till hell.

Zhu Qizhen couldn't understand Chameng's words and ignored him. Instead, he continued to ask, "Is that all?"

"It turns out that nothing can be hidden from the emperor's eyes!"

Xuanzhen smiled bitterly and said, "Princess Xuanzhen, Princess Champa, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty!"

It turns out that among these two people, Xuanzhen is the real master.

Although Mahagui is also a royal family, he already belongs to the royal family and his identity is naturally not as good as Xuanzhen.

The Jinyiwei has set up a large number of spies in Quanzhou and Fuzhou. Since the beginning of the landing, the two of them have been under the surveillance of the Jinyiwei.

These two people don’t know that they were actually secretly escorting the Jinyiwei along the way. If not, it is still hard to say whether they can arrive in the capital successfully.

After all, Annan Kingdom also had spies in the Ming Dynasty, so it would not be difficult to intercept and kill two people along the way.

Seeing that the other party was willing to confess, Zhu Qizhen did not pursue any crime of deceiving the emperor.

"Since you can meet with each other honestly, I am not a stingy person. OK, get up!"

Xuanzhen kowtowed and thanked her, and then slowly stood up. Seeing this, Mahagui also stood up.

Zhu Qizhen said with a smile: "I know your difficulties, but you remember that if you dare to play tricks in front of me, you will regret it yourself!"

Xuanzhen hurriedly replied, "The little woman is guilty!"

The dinner continued, but the atmosphere became strange.

The two who were already quite restrained were even more arrogant and did not dare to show off.

Zhu Qizhen picked up a bite of the food and joked: "Why, can't you get used to my Ming Dynasty food?"

Mahagui didn't understand Chinese, so he stared at Xuanzhen straight at him, waiting for her to translate.

Xuanzhen replied directly: "The Emperor is joking. The Ming Dynasty is the country of the Heavenly Kingdom. Even the food is much more delicious than Chameng. But... the daughter of the minister is worried about the safety of her father and has no appetite. Please forgive me."

"I said that the Ming Dynasty will not sit idly by and watch your affairs!"

"But, Father...he..."

As he spoke, Princess Xuanzhen's tears fell.

Zhu Qizhen said helplessly: "Didn't you see it just now? I have ordered the cabinet to draft an imperial edict. Next, the Prince of Jing'an will personally bring the imperial edict to Annan Kingdom. If they don't listen, I will send troops south and capture their king too!"

"Thank you, the prince... the little girl has no choice but to repay you, only… only…”

Princess Xuanzhen was crying, but Mahagui was confused. He didn't know what the two were saying. He held the chopsticks and held them in the air, trying to pick up the food but didn't dare to move.

Zhu Qizhen put the chopsticks on the table and said, "Don't say anything thankful. I have settled your affairs, but I can't do anything for nothing. When you fight back against foreign enemies, you must also agree to me."

Princess Xuanzhen hurriedly said, "Prince, please speak!"

"I am already preparing to restart my voyage to the West. You occupy all the land. I want a port to provide supplies to the long-distance fleet!"

Princess Xuanzhen was stunned for a moment, and whispered a few words in Mahagui's ear. After hearing this, Mahagui nodded quickly.

"I wonder which port the emperor wants?"

Zhu Qizhen smiled slightly and spit out three words: "Saigong Port!"

Sai Kung Port is located in the northeast of the Mekong Delta, in the lower reaches of the Sai Kung River, a tributary of the Tongnai River. Its geographical location is like Shanghai Port and it is a natural good port.

The city-country country was located in Nanyang. At that time, he knew the importance of Saigon Port. When he heard the other party's request, he immediately looked hesitant.

The two of them discussed it again, and then Princess Xuanzhen said, "It's important. Can the emperor allow me to discuss it with the ministers after returning to the country?"

Zhu Qizhen suddenly changed his face and said dissatisfiedly: "You can go and discuss it, and then tell me the result after discussing it!"

Princess Xuanzhen asked carefully: "Then...thank you, the emperor!"

Zhu Qizhen disagreed and said, "Medaling the conflict between Annan and Chameng is not a trivial matter. I also need to summon ministers to discuss it carefully. Do you think, right?"

"emperor……"

Princess Xuanzhen was shocked and hurriedly said, "What you just agreed to..."

"I didn't say I couldn't go!"

Zhu Qizhen sneered: "It's just that when to set out, we need to consider carefully before making a decision!"

Just kidding, your country is almost beaten away, and you still can't bear to leave a port?

I can’t let my Ming Dynasty soldiers go for nothing!

Mahagui looked at Princess Xuanzhen in confusion, as if asking, what is going on?

Princess Xuanzhen frowned, thought for a while, and finally made up her mind.

"Sai Kung Port can be given to Da Ming!"

"You keep your word?"

"count!"

"Don't you have to go back and discuss?"

"No!"

It was not until this time that she realized that she had something to ask for. If the ministers opposed it, wouldn’t the father never come back?

If Champa City is destroyed, the ministers only need to change their names and continue to enjoy high officials and generous salaries. However, the fate of the Champa City royal family can only end there.

By then, all the royal bloodlines will be chased and this family will completely disappear from the world.

"good!"
