It happened so suddenly. Seeing that the military examination was about to happen, why did an Annan envoy appear again? He didn't read anything, but wanted to read "Three Prefectures Iron Coupons" which he had never heard of. What was his purpose? Zheng Yao

I was completely confused for a moment

Seeing the distressed looks of Liu Yan and Zhang Cheng, Zhengyao knew that this matter must be difficult to deal with, and this time it was Zhang Cheng and Liu Yan who were responsible for the engraving and arrangement. If the emperor blamed them, the two of them...

Thinking of this, Zhengyao no longer dared to think about it anymore. The plan for now is to figure out the ins and outs of the whole thing. What is in this "Three Houses Iron Coupon"? Why are there a few missing articles? Annan envoy this time

What is the purpose of coming to Daming to read this book? These are the primary concerns at the moment.

"Big brother and second brother, what exactly is this "Three-Prefecture Iron Coupon"? Is it important to Annan Kingdom?"

After Zhengyao thought for a moment, he spoke again. For him, only by clarifying all the doubts can he start to deal with the matter.

Liu Yan took a sip of tea, relaxed a little, and said: "Actually, my eldest brother and I don't know what the "Three Prefectures Iron Coupon" is about. We only know that the Annan people have always believed in 'Heaven, Water and Yin', and believe that there are things outside the world.

These three worlds, in Annan, regard this book as their national book, just like the "Four Books" and "Five Classics" of the Ming Dynasty.

There was a fire and the original copy was destroyed, so I wanted to borrow my Ming Dynasty edition to go back and make another copy. However, my Ming edition was in disrepair and was infested with insects. The emperor was afraid of showing his authority in front of the envoys, so he decided to make a copy.

After finishing the engraving, I discovered that a few articles were missing, and the content could not be connected. Although the matter was not reported to the emperor, paper cannot contain fire, so I am afraid..."

Liu Yan seemed to be calm and told the cause and effect of the matter. Of course, some of it was what he heard from others. Whether it is true or false is still open to debate. But in general, it is the same thing.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Cheng on the side sighed again and said: "It's a small matter for you and me to be punished for dereliction of duty, but it's a big deal for us to lose face to the Ming Dynasty in front of the Annan envoy."

What Zhang Cheng said is absolutely correct. Although this book was paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty by the Annan Kingdom, it is already the property of the Ming Dynasty. But if Annan Kingdom knew that the great Ming Dynasty could not even guard a book, it would lead to insect infestation.

If you go out, not only will you lose face, but it will also make Annan and other countries have a negative assessment of the strength of the Ming Dynasty. Then they may take advantage of the Mongolian Japanese pirates to interfere in the chaos, which will be really detrimental to the Ming Dynasty.

"So that's it." Zhengyao looked suddenly enlightened, but he suddenly turned his eyes and said, "Is it possible that Annan State sent envoys here just to see those iron bonds?"

As Zhengyao said, the Annan Kingdom did not send envoys early or late, but the Ming Dynasty came at the time when Mongolia and Japanese pirates were at their most rampant. This has to make people suspicious. If we just look at the so-called "Three Prefectures Iron Coupons",

Why didn’t we come to Daming after the fire last year instead of delaying it until now?

However, after listening to Zhengyao's question, Liu Yan and Zhang Cheng both nodded and expressed that they were indeed suspicious, but they were just soy sauce materials in the Imperial Academy, so how could it be their turn to take charge of national affairs? Yes.

This is naturally a matter of asking three questions without knowing what to do.

"I think we need to make it clear to the emperor, at least let Prince Jing know about it." Seeing that both of them were silent, Zhengyao continued.

Zhengyao is a master who likes to meddle in other people's business. Although he doesn't have that much power, as long as he encounters it, he will try his best to continue it.

Moreover, Prince Jing has a good relationship with him, as well as Princess Ning'an, and Xu Jie Lu Bing... In short, he must find out about this matter as a precaution. After all, for him, a time traveler, the Ming Dynasty has already become him.

era, and the Ming Dynasty naturally became his country's rise and fall. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. He was born in the elite army and remembered this sentence deeply. Therefore, he had reason and obligation to contribute to this country.

"Master Li, Master Li..."

When Zhengyao, Zhang Cheng and Liu Yan were talking animatedly, they heard a woman's voice coming from outside the door. After listening carefully, they found out that the woman was none other than Xiao Xi.

"Miss Xiao Xi? What do you want from me?"

Zhengyao turned his head and looked around, only to see Xiao Xi panicking and seemed to be in a hurry, and then asked doubtfully

Liu Yan and Zhang Cheng on the side couldn't help but smile. Xiaoxi came to see Zhengyao. What else could happen? Princess Ning'an was extremely close to Zhengyao in the past few days. It was hard to guarantee that Zhengyao and Ning would be together.

Nothing will happen to Princess An. Moreover, along the way, Zhengyao and Ning'an have really become a happy couple, so it is not surprising that Zhang Cheng and Liu Yan have this idea.

How could Zhengyao not know what these two people were thinking? But he didn't take it seriously, he just looked down on them with a look of contempt.

"Mr. Li, the princess has... something urgent to ask... for you, so I sent Xiao Xi to come over quickly and pass the message." Xiao Xi gasped and stammered. After finishing, she came to the table and brought

When I pick up a cup of tea, I don’t know if anyone has drunk it before, so I drink it in one gulp without thinking.

Xiao Xi's appearance is quite cheerful, and she and Hua Qingyue have the demeanor of a knight-errant, which Zhengyao admires a lot. After listening to what Xiao Xi said, Zhengyao couldn't help but frowned: This

Man Po, what are you doing to me if you have nothing to do? And you even asked Xiao Xi to come and pass the news, why don’t you come?

However, Zhengyao also understood that in this case, there must be a reason, so he did not delve into it more. He nodded and immediately looked back at Liu Yan and Zhang Cheng's malicious smiles. Zhengyao couldn't help but give two more

With a contemptuous look in his eyes, he sighed in his heart: "I made a bad friend by mistake, I made a bad friend by mistake."

Xiao Xi also acted vigorously and resolutely. She put down the tea cup and immediately rushed out of the door with Zheng Yao, running straight to the palace.

Zhengyao has come to the palace two or three times, but this time under Xiaoxi's tug, Zhengyao felt that the Shuzhou Guild Hall was so close to the palace, and he had arrived in less than half an hour.

After greeting the two guards at the palace gate with a smile on his face and saying that he was a regular visitor, Zhengyao walked into the palace happily, as if he regarded the palace as his own home.

"No, this is the way to the imperial study, not to the Qianqing Palace." Zhengyao has a good memory. He has gone to both the Qianqing Palace and the imperial study twice. Which way leads to which place?

The face is naturally very clear

Xiao Xi just made a "shush" gesture, and then whispered: "Master Li, don't be in a hurry, you will know later."

After saying that, Xiao Xi quickened her pace and went straight to the door of the imperial study room.

Zheng Yao became more and more confused, thinking that the barbarian woman was up to something else. She was indeed a playful and unruly princess. She couldn't be saved, but there was nothing she could do. Who made her a princess? She wanted to see herself.

Don't you want to show up? So after sighing helplessly, you still have to take those steps that you don't want to move and walk towards the imperial study room.

When he reached the door of the imperial study room, Zhengyao stopped, and then he looked inside the door, hoping to see clearly whether the unruly princess would set any traps to harm him. He had read "The Deer and the Cauldron" a lot.

How Princess Jianning punishes Wei Xiaobao's Zhengyao is very clear, and in his opinion, this Princess Ning'an is even scarier than Princess Jianning, and he is not as lucky as Wei Xiaobao, so...

"Xiao Xi, where is the person?"

Suddenly a man's voice came from the room. Since Zhengyao was at the door and didn't fully put his head in, he couldn't see who was speaking.

"Man? Haha, this barbarian woman is doing this again." Zhengyao couldn't help but shook his head and smiled. This naughty princess had used this move to pretend to be Emperor Taizu in front of the ministers in the hall. Now she is using this move again.

Yao naturally felt a little ridiculous: "Isn't this what I taught her? What a fool to play such a trick with me?"

Zhengyao was sure that Ning An wanted to tease him. After all, with Ning An's playful temperament, he could do anything, and he didn't need any reason.

"Back to the emperor, Mr. Li is right behind and should be there soon," Xiao Xi replied

Listening to Xiao Xi's tone, it sounded a little timid. However, to Zheng Yao, it sounded like a trick played by Ning An on him. It was already strange to ask Xiao Xi to send a message to him, and to meet him in the imperial study room.

, this is even more abnormal. Now I hear a man's voice again, and this voice is Jiajing's voice. In this way, Zhengyao has reason to believe that Ning'an is behind all this.

Zhengyao then pushed the door gently, and after a creak, Zhengyao walked into the imperial study room. At this moment, he saw a person sitting on the dragon chair, with a large document spread out in both hands. He didn't seem to be too concerned about the person who came in.

I care, but still remain silent, looking at it with rapt attention.

Zhengyao couldn't help but smile, walked forward slowly, and said frivolously: "Okay, stop making trouble, just tell me if you have any questions, there are no outsiders here."

"Um?"

But after listening to Zhengyao's words, the man sitting at the table suddenly said "Hmm" in surprise, as if he was very surprised by this.

However, to Zhengyao, this seemed like a trick played by Ning An. Zhengyao shook his head and said helplessly: "Stop playing around. This is the imperial study. If the emperor knows that you are messing around here,

That would be bad.”

It is not difficult to hear that there is still a hint of concern in Zhengyao's words.

And just as Zhengyao continued to walk forward and just took a step, he saw the man suddenly put down the document in his hand, looked at Zhengyao with wide eyes, and said with confusion: "Where do you start talking about this?

Ah, Li Zhengyao?"

This is not Ning'an but Jiajing

Zhengyao's mind suddenly went blank, and he was completely at a loss (to be continued)
