Inside the main hall, the atmosphere was strange.
Zhu Di frowned and had a gloomy look on his face. No one could tell what he was thinking.
After being silent for a long time, Zhu Di finally spoke quietly.
"My dear, please don't mess around. This is a dangerous matter. You must not go there!"
"Your Majesty!" Li Jinglong said with tears of gratitude, "I know that this is dangerous, but this matter is related to the country and the country of the new dynasty. If it continues to be delayed, the hidden dangers to the new dynasty will be deeper!"
"I am willing to give up this old bone, but also to share your worries for you. I will go through fire and water without hesitation. I still ask for your permission!"
After hearing this, Zhu Di's expression became even more exciting.
Hiss... Li Jinglong is loyal to the country, Li Jinglong?
"Jiujiang, why is this happening!"
Zhu Di stood up and stepped forward, helping Li Jinglong up with his own hands.
"You and I have known each other for many years, and I really don't want to see you put yourself in danger!"
It sounds nice, but anyone who really believes it is a fool.
Li Jinglong had already seen through Zhu Di's hypocritical nature after previous temptations, so he would not be fooled again.
"Your Majesty, I hold a high position even though I have not made any achievements. I am always worried about this, lest I lose my late father's reputation!"
"Mei Yin currently has 400,000 troops entrenched in Huai'an, which poses a great threat to the new dynasty, and military leaders from all over the world are still watching, so it must be resolved as soon as possible!"
"Although I am not good at literature or martial arts, I have a good personality, and I am an old acquaintance with Mei Yin. I am the perfect choice to go to Huai'an!"
Li Jinglong spoke with great justice, and Zhu Di's face dropped as if he was really worried about Li Jinglong's safety.
What a pair of "loving each other"... a wise king and a wise minister!
In fact, Zhu Di was also thinking about it, as if Li Jinglong's words were reasonable.
Because Li Jinglong is not without merit, at least he is handsome!
Li Jinglong was born into a noble family, with a tall figure and a handsome face. His behavior was graceful and noble, and his bearing was extraordinary. His aristocratic air lingered throughout his body, making him very suitable for ceremonial work.
Moreover, Li Jinglong is different from other second-generation nobles who like to wield swords and guns. He has read poetry and books since he was a child and has a wide range of knowledge. He likes to read military books when he has nothing to do. Whenever he talks to people, he can often make them stunned. Yes, even Emperor Taizu Gao Zhu Yuanzhang liked chatting with Li Jinglong.
He is handsome and well-spoken. It is no wonder that Zhu Yunwen was deceived by this beast.
In other words, Li Jinglong was top notch in both appearance and lip service. Isn't this the best candidate for envoy?
Awesome!
I seem to have discovered the advantages of Li Jinglong!
Zhu Di stroked his beard and was quite moved by this proposal.
As for Mei Yin, it really needs to be resolved.
Although Zhu Di is now sitting on the Dragon Throne, he is not the Ming Emperor in the true sense!
The reason is very simple. He used a trick to bypass the main force of the Southern Army and directly attacked the imperial capital of Jinling. Only then did he successfully destroy the Jianwen court!
But local military leaders such as Mei Yin, who had strong military support and self-respect, did not buy the blame of Emperor Yongle!
After Zhu Di changed the Yuan Dynasty to Jianxin, he immediately spread the word to the world. Most of the local military leaders chose to surrender superficially and recognized him as the new emperor, but they refused to come to Beijing to have an audience. In addition, there were still a small number of Jianwen diehards who refused to recruit and were still there. Resist tenaciously.
For example, Mei Yin is entrenched in Huai'an, and Tie Xuan is holding on to Jinan. These die-hards are the most troublesome.
Zhu Di ordered Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu and others to lead an army to attack Jinan and wipe out Tie Xuan's army first. Because of this, he has been adopting a policy of appeasement towards Mei Yin.
But Mei Yin is a stubborn old man who accepts death and refuses to surrender!
After thinking about it, Zhu Di couldn't help but feel a little moved by Li Jinglong's proposal.
If Li Jinglong can really recruit Mei Yin to surrender, it will be great news for the new dynasty!
After all, the Ming Dynasty now belongs to Zhu Di. If he can avoid fighting, he will not fight. It is best if he can avoid swords. Otherwise, after the war is over, he will have to clean up the battlefield and develop people's livelihood!
"Jiujiang, are you sure about this?"
Zhu Di asked tentatively.
When Li Jinglong heard this affectionate address, he couldn't help but vomit in his heart.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will accomplish this even if my body is shattered to pieces!"
"If I fail to live up to the emperor's favor, Your Majesty can punish me. I will never say anything!"
Li Jinglong's posture was very upright, as if he was loyal to his country.
Anyway, it's a knife to extend your head, and it's a knife to shrink your head. It's better to listen to your son and take a blow.
After hearing this, Zhu Di's face became uncertain and he was not in a hurry to express his position.
"But this trip is extremely dangerous, so I ask the emperor to give me something!"
Zhu Di nodded after hearing this.
If the hidden danger of Mei Yin can be solved, Zhu Di will not be stingy even if he is given thousands of taels of gold, not to mention giving Li Jinglong something!
"Whatever you want, my dear, just ask."
"A letter home!"
Letter from home?
Whose letter home?
Zhu Di was startled when he heard this, and then suddenly realized it, his expression was slightly unnatural.
This family letter is naturally addressed to Mei Yin, whose wife and children are in the imperial capital of Jinling.
But the only problem is that Mei Yin's wife is Princess Ningguo, the eldest daughter of Emperor Taizu Gao!
Zhu Di's face looked uncertain for a while, and he paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back.
He didn't want to criticize his imperial sister harshly, and he couldn't beat her...
But solving the Mei Yin issue is the most important right now.
After hesitating for a long time, Zhu Di suddenly sighed.
"Jiujiang, if I get you a family letter, are you sure you can recruit Mei Yin to surrender?"
"If you don't succeed, you will be successful!" Li Jinglong replied firmly.
Hearing his answer, Zhu Di forced a smile.
"If that's the case, then I will believe you!"
"Tomorrow I will appoint you as the imperial envoy to the Meiyin Army."
"As for that letter from home, I will find a way. Jiujiang must not let me down!"
Li Jinglong knelt on the ground, but Zhu Di waved his hands and refused to say anything.
Seeing this situation, Li Jinglong could only run away knowingly.
Zhu Di looked at his back and fell into deep thought, and then a monk in black walked out from behind the screen.
"Monk, this Li Jinglong... what do you think?"
The black-clothed monk stroked his beard, his triangular eyes filled with light.
"Your Majesty, compared to Li Jinglong, the poor monk is more curious about the person behind him!"
"Oh?" Zhu Di was surprised, "You mean..."
"With Li Jinglong's wisdom, he will definitely not act like this and risk his life to recruit Mei Yin to surrender and break his own deadlock!"
"Even with Li Jinglong's IQ, I'm afraid he can't see that he is in a dead end."
The black-clothed monk smiled lightly and said: "In other words, this Duke Cao Guo got advice from an expert, so he did what he did!"
Monk Dao Yan's speculation finally answered Zhu Di's doubts.
Li Jinglong has so much wisdom, he is just a complete idiot!
If no one had pointed him out, would he have done such an abnormal thing?
"That's all, let the Jin Yiwei keep an eye on us."
"What I want to ask you is, is it okay to send Li Jinglong as envoy to Mei Yinjun?"
"Why not?" Daoyan in black asked with a smile.
"If Li Jinglong fails, he will die. There will be no harm to the court."
"But if Li Jinglong succeeds, it will solve a major hidden danger for the court. Your Majesty can also use this achievement to spare his life. After all, he is a descendant of King Qiyang. It is not good to force him too much, so as not to chill people."
Zhu Di was startled when he heard this, but he soon felt relieved.
This matter is really a good deal. As for whether it is successful or not, it depends on Li Jinglong's own luck.
"But your Majesty should be concerned about another matter now, how to get family letters from Princess Ningguo!"
Upon hearing the black-clothed monk's words, Zhu Di's face suddenly darkened.
Princess Ning Guo, his nominal imperial sister, does not have a very good temper, and...
Zhu Di seemed to have thought of something terrible, and his face almost twitched together.
"I will solve this matter myself!"
