Li Chonghe's situation is far less relaxed than Li Chonghai said before. Although Zhu Yunxiu wanted Li Chonghe to restrain Zhu Di's development in the Americas, because the distance was too far, and the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Di had to maintain friendly relations on the surface, Li Chonghe was under considerable pressure on the Americas.

"I just met King Yan some time ago, and I initially divided the sphere of influence. I reached a consensus. There should be no conflict in the short term." Li Chonghe said with a relaxed expression.

"When did King Yan be so easy to talk to? Didn't he write a letter to his father at the beginning of the year, expressing his dissatisfaction with you in the Americas?" Li Chonghai couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard this.

Li Chonghe is in North America and Zhu Di is in Central America. Although the two are far away on land, there are many intersections between maritime forces. For example, the route from Japan to America was originally in the hands of Zhu Di, but now it falls into Li Chonghe.

Although the Ming Dynasty to the Americas has now become steamships and the importance of the route from Japan to the Americas has also decreased a lot, it is still one of the main routes between the Ming Dynasty and the Americas, so Zhu Di has always been very dissatisfied with this matter.

"Of course, the King of Yan is not so easy to talk to, but some time ago, my father asked someone to make a noise, saying that the court planned to send someone to South America. As soon as the news came out, the King of Yan immediately became much more honest. He talked to me about marriage when he met before, and finally I agreed." Li Chonghe smiled again.

"Marriage? Who and who?" Li Chonghai immediately asked after hearing this.

"Who else can it be? Your eldest nephew and the eldest granddaughter of King Yan, both of them are about the same age and know each other. They will be engaged to get them in a while." Li Chonghe said helplessly.

Influenced by Li Jie, he was somewhat rejected by this political marriage, but in the current situation, marriage can indeed effectively extinct the relationship between him and Zhu Di, so after thinking about it, he finally agreed to the marriage between his son and Zhu Di's granddaughter.

"It's good to be engaged. When I came out, Yongshen was clamoring to go on the battle with me. After being rejected, he wanted to get on the boat secretly. As a result, his father was severely taught a lesson. With his age, it was time to calm down." Li Chonghai laughed and said when he heard this.

Yongshen is Li Chonghe's son and Li Jie's eldest grandson. This kid is extremely smart. He can learn what Li Jie taught him, but he is not calm and he is also bold. He usually runs out whenever he has the opportunity. Two years ago, he even secretly took a boat to Oceania. He was caught halfway through the journey. Li Jie, who never beats others, broke the precepts.

"Shen'er is indeed too erratic. King Yan's granddaughter is also in school in the capital. They both know each other. I hope he can calm down after getting engaged." Li Chonghe couldn't help but say with a headache when he thought of his naughty son.

Many years ago, Zhu Yunqiu established a royal college at the suggestion of Li Jie. The college's teaching imitates the truth-seeking academy. However, all the students in the college are from the royal family, and some overseas princes will send their children and grandchildren to study in the Ming Dynasty. After all, compared with the Ming Dynasty, their educational conditions are too backward.

Li Yongshen and the granddaughter of King Yan were naturally studying in this royal academy, but men and women were separated. However, because Li Jie and Zhu Di had a good relationship, most of the descendants of the King of Yan often visited Li Jie's mansion, so both sides must have known each other long ago.

"By the way, I heard that Your Majesty is not in good health recently?" Li Chonghe suddenly thought of something again, so he lowered his voice and asked Li Chonghai that others are not very familiar with many news about the Ming Dynasty, and some things are not convenient to write letters. At most, they would just mention a few words when communicating with Li Jie.

"This is true." Li Chonghai also showed a solemn expression and said, "Brother, you also know that the late emperor's health is not very good, and the death was very sudden. Your Majesty is the legitimate son of the late emperor. He seems to have inherited the late emperor's illness. However, it is not as serious as the late emperor. He was not obvious when he was young, but now he often has chest tightness and heartache, and his energy is not as good as before."

"What do you say about my father?" Li Chonghe asked with a serious expression when he heard this. Zhu Yunxi was his uncle. Of course, he was also very concerned about the other party's physical condition, but he knew that Zhu Yunxi was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and his physical health was also related to the stability of the Ming Dynasty.

"My father was also very worried about this matter. He and the aunt went to the palace many times to persuade Your Majesty, because according to research by his father and medical staff, his Majesty's illness was born with congenital causes, and it was difficult for medicine to be effective, so he could only focus on rest. However, Your Majesty's government affairs are busy and he has no time to rest at all, which is also very unfavorable to his health."

Li Chonghai paused at this point, and then said: "At the beginning, His Majesty was a little unwilling to let go, but later he became seriously ill, which made His Majesty finally start to delegate power to the prince, just like Emperor Taizu trained the predecessor."

"The prince Wenqi is not easy to do. Now that His Majesty finally gave him power, this is a good thing for him." Li Chonghe was relieved when he heard this.

Zhu Wenqi is not only his cousin, but also his playmate since childhood. The two studied with Li Jie together and naturally formed a deep friendship. Even though he was in America, the two kept in touch with each letter a half month.

"Yes, when I left, the prince saw me off and pulled me to say a lot, and even said to you, Brother, for a long time. After all, there is one less person who can make him say what he says in his heart when you leave." Li Chonghai sighed at the end of his speech.

It is difficult to be a prince of the Ming Dynasty, especially Zhu Wenqi has been the prince since he was young. Behind him, no matter who is staring at him, Li Chonghe was accompanied by him in the past, and someone helped him share his pressure, but now as soon as Li Chonghe left, even fewer people could rely on Zhu Wenqi.

"No matter what, Wenqi finally made it through. With his father watching from the side, there shouldn't be any major problems." Li Chonghe said with a long sigh. Li Jie is Zhu Wenqi's Grand Tutor, so he is naturally a firm princeling. Although Zhu Wenqi has experienced a lot of open and secret arrows over the years, he has been through it with shock and danger under the protection of Li Jie.

After talking about Zhu Wenqi, the two brothers talked about a lot of family affairs, and Li Chonghai also learned in detail about Li Chonghe's situation in the Americas and the changes in immigration policies in the Ming Dynasty in recent years.

When the kings went to sea, they took away many immigrants from the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the population of the Ming Dynasty was a little nervous at one time, so they tried their best to encourage childbirth. Even if the family gave birth to two sons, they would reward a cow. If they had three sons, they could go to the local government office to collect money every month until the child became an adult at the age of fifteen.
