Gao Gu was not good at saying anything, so he had to lift up his pen and draw a circle in the blank space.

Cao Nai was still angry, so Gao Gu took the excuse to retreat and returned to his public housing. He immediately ordered the clerk to say, "You go to the Ministry of War and let Chen Ruyan come over to see me immediately!"

"yes!"

The Ministry of War was very close to Wenyuan Pavilion, and Chen Ruyan arrived in less than a cup of tea.

"I've seen Eun's Mansion!"

Gao Gu said with a dark face: "I'll ask you, what did you do last night?"

Chen Ruyan was stunned for a moment and replied subconsciously: "I didn't do anything last night..."

"Think about it carefully, who have met and what have you done?"

Chen Ruyan then reacted and said, "The student did see someone, and it seemed... Dongchangyuan, who is an envoy of the Japanese country. He visited him and it was difficult for the students to refuse."

"Is it just not easy to refuse?" Gao Gu snorted coldly and said bluntly, "How much money did you take him?"

"Students dare not..."

Dong Changyuan was so scared that she trembled and quickly explained: "It's just... this person brought some gifts when he came to the door."

"Do you know what he did?"

"What did he... do?"

"This person is at the Honglu Temple and has promoted your dialogue last night and submitted a memorial to the court in the name of the Japanese envoy, which is full of praise for you!"

"this……"

Chen Ruyan suddenly realized that he might have fallen into the pit.

Gao Gu said expressionlessly: "The memorial will be submitted to the King of Huang soon. You must be mentally prepared!"

Chen Ruyan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked, "Water is a country that is not conquered by Emperor Taizu Gao. I think the students' remarks are nothing..."

"A country that does not seek?"

Gao Gu sneered: "Annan is also a country that does not seek refuge, so what in the end?"

Chen Ruyan felt a chill on his back more and said carefully: "His Highness King Hui is a wise king, so he should... not provoke war easily. Besides... there is no evidence to prove that he has a direct relationship with the king of Japan. This matter..."

Gao Gu interrupted him and said, "Although the emperor is not here, His Highness King Hui has changed a lot now and has a faint sense of being the main war. If you have this attitude now, the position of this Left Minister is probably unstable!"

Chen Ruyan hurriedly said, "The student was careless last night. I would like to ask the Enfu to say a few good words in front of the hall. The student is very grateful!"

Gao Gu shook his head helplessly and said, "You, you must think clearly about things and don't be used like this! As for whether this war can start to fight, Your Highness King Hui has no final say, and wait for the emperor to come back from Mobei..."

While he was talking, a clerk arrived in a hurry.

"Hao Lao..."

Gao Gu said impatiently: "What's the matter? Didn't you see me talking about official duties with Mr. Chen?"

"Yes, yes...small presumptuous, but..."

Gao Gu saw this person holding a letter and seemed very anxious.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"This is sent back by Lord Zhang and Lord Kuang from Mobei, and it is urgently accelerated by 600 miles!"

Gao Gu's expression changed and he said, "Give it!"

The clerk handed over the letter, and Gao Gu waved his hand at him: "Go down!"

"yes!"

Chen Ruyan walked up curiously and asked, "It must be Lord Zhang and Lord Kuang who saw the emperor!"

Gao Gu took apart the letter, looked at it for a moment, and was stunned.

Chen Ruyan asked in confusion: "En Mansion, is something wrong with Mobei?"

Gao Gu did not speak, but just handed over the letter, and Chen Ruyan took it carefully.

Immediately afterwards, he was also shocked and murmured: "Your Majesty... haven't you gone to Mobei?"

Gao Gu sat for a long time before saying, "It seems that the emperor is going to Nanjing!"

"But why did the emperor go to Nanjing? He still had to sneak into it and not let me know?"

Gao Gu's face changed, he stood up and said, "I'll settle the score with you after you turn around!"

After saying that, he hurried to Cao Nai's public housing with the letter.

Cao Nai was holding a pen and writing annotations on a memorial. When he saw Gao Gu running over quickly, he asked, "What's the matter?"

Gao Gu took out Zhang Yi's letter. After Cao Nai read it, he fell into deep thought.

The two of them were just like this, one stood and the other sat, and were silent for a long time.

Finally, Cao Nai sighed and shook his head and said, "It makes no sense!"

"Yes!" Gao Gu said then, "It makes no sense!"

"What is the emperor going to do in Nanjing?"

"Could it be..." Gao Gu's expression suddenly changed, and he said with a heart of ease, "Is the emperor going to Annan in person?"

Cao Nai was shocked. According to the emperor's current urination, it was really possible!

Before the envoys of Chameng Kingdom arrived in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor had planned to conquer Annan, but he was only unable to find a reason.

Now there is a reason, but it is not sufficient.

If the Prince of Jing'an takes the envoy to Annan and the other party surrenders, he will do so and the battle will not be fought.

Could it be that the emperor couldn't hold back and was preparing to fight in person?

This joke is a big deal...

Cao Nai said impatiently: "Stop talking about anything. The most urgent thing is to get the emperor back. I'll go there!"

"I'll go!"

Gao Gu stopped him and said, "The capital needs someone to be in charge. You are the chief minister and you can't move easily."

Cao Nai didn't argue with him, and the cabinet must have gone there. As for the two of them, it would be the same for anyone to go there.

The two discussed it and decided the matter, and then went to meet King Zhu Qiyu together.

Cao Nai told the whole story. After hearing this, Zhu Qiyu was very calm and seemed to have known this result for a long time.

Gao Gu then said, "Your Highness, the emperor's situation is very dangerous now. The old minister decided to bring officials from the Ministry of Rites to welcome the emperor tomorrow morning."

Zhu Qiyu Dandan nodded and said, "The emperor's move is indeed incompatible with etiquette, so I will work hard for you!"

Cao Nai said again: "I originally planned to go together, but considering that there is no one in the cabinet..."

Yu Qian went to Huai'an, Zhang Yi went to Mobei, and Gao Gu was leaving again. If he went there, the cabinet would be gone.

Zhu Qiyu said, "I understand, by the way, what's going on with that Chen Ruyan?"

As he spoke, he took out a memorial, which was exactly the one Cao Nai had just drafted.

Cao Nai and Gao Gu looked at each other. Sure enough, His Highness King Hui seemed to be very disgusted with Chen Ruyan's actions.

"Your Highness calmed down. Mr. Chen was not willing to refuse because of his affection. He was just used by the Japanese envoy. This matter was indeed because Mr. Chen was not considerate. The old minister had already talked to him and ordered him to return the gift immediately to ensure that this would never happen again!"

Gao Gu was also helpless and planned to ignore it, but Chen Ruyan was one of his more capable people. At this time, he would say a few nice words to him and would be even more devoted to himself in the future.

Cao Nai saw Gao Gu defending Chen Ruyan, but said nothing.

He knew that it was probably because Chen Ruyan was greedy for small gains and took money from others, but he didn't want to suffer a big loss.

This matter was also a lesson for him. See if he dares to accept gifts in the future!

"snort!"

Zhu Qiyu threw the memorial aside and said, "I will leave this memorial first and hand it over to the Emperor's Holy Punishment!"

Gao Gu smiled awkwardly, but did not dare to persuade him again.

Otherwise, it would seem like I was deliberately covering up.

I hope that when the emperor comes back, everyone will forget about this, and everything will be fine...

Zhu Qiyu seemed to think of something and said, "There is another thing, do you remember, when Peng Qing, the Imperial Heaven Supervisor, and Tang Xiaozhong from the Hanlin Academy's Literature and History Museum started fighting?"

Cao Nai and Gao Gu nodded together and said, "Remember!"

"Before the emperor left, he talked to me about this matter. The voyage to the West is related to national policies. Any small mistake on the chart may cause serious consequences. Therefore, some people were specially found from Nanjing and Fuzhou. Some of them had followed the eunuchs of Sanbao to the West, and some were smugglers who went out of the sea and have now joined the court. After entering Beijing, these people carefully reviewed the existing charts in the Hanlin Academy. After repeated consideration and comparison, there were indeed many mistakes!"

Cao Nai asked: "In this way, is there really something wrong with the copying process of the Hanlin Academy?"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said, "But the problem is that Tang Xiaozhong refused to admit it. He insisted that the picture brought by the Ministry of War was like this. The Hanlin people just copied one according to the original picture and would never smear and modify it without authorization."

The difficulty of this matter is that it is difficult to explain. Although everyone believes that the charts of the Hanlin Academy are incorrect, they cannot produce conclusive evidence.

Who can guarantee that what he said is correct? Is it possible that the chart drawn by Zheng He is like this? Did you remember it wrong?

The original version of that year is gone, and now Tang Xiaozhong is still unwilling to let go, and he really can't determine who is right and who is wrong.
