Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty

"Yes, Master Imperial Master, he is the fake Prince Annan!"

Chen Tianping, who was accused by Pei Wenli of pretending to be the grandson of Prince Annan, was stunned by the first words he said when he was escorted up by the soldiers.

"Master Imperial Master, they are not Pei Boxi and his son at all!" Chen Tianping raised his chin and said to Jiang Xinghuo.

"Pei Boxi and his son were killed by the Hu family a long time ago. They are imposter spies sent by the Hu family!"

What is imposter? What do you mean Pei Boqi and his son are both dead? Then who is the person in front of you?

After hearing his words, everyone who initially thought it was something wrong with their ears suddenly became uproar.

The polarity reversal is nothing more than that.

Pei Wenli said that Chen Tianping was a fake prince and a spy for the Champa Kingdom, but Chen Tianping directly said that Pei Boxi and Pei Wenli and his son were fake and were spies for the Hu family of the Annan Kingdom.

And when Chen Tianping said this, his face was very calm.

There was no expression of panic, let alone any emotions such as fear, fear, anger, or unwillingness.

This indifferent temperament makes people wonder if he is really the grandson of Prince Annan?

"Nonsense! He is the one who is lying!"

When Pei Wenli once again accused him of being a fake king and grandson, Chen Tianping suddenly moved and was immediately held down by the soldiers.

"What are you going to do?" The hands of the soldiers on both sides were already pressed on the handle of the knife.

Chen Tianping turned his head and said, "I have a letter in my arms that can prove it."

Seeing the Imperial Master nodding, a soldier beside him reached out and took out a letter from Chen Tianping's arms.

Chen Tianping said calmly: "This letter was written by General Pei himself before he was killed. You will know after reading it! If you still don't believe it, you might as well wait until the fake Pei Boqi wakes up and ask him to write it once and for all. To the handwriting.”

The attendant handed the letter to Jiang Xinghuo. Jiang Xinghuo did not take it, nor did he rush to let the soldier open the envelope. He looked at Chen Tianping and asked, "None of us have seen what you said." How can we verify Pei Boxi's real handwriting?"

Having said that, Jiang Xinghuo's eyes kept staring at Pei Wenli's expression.

Just now Pei Wenli gave him a memorial written by Pei Boqi to Emperor Yongle. Of course, this memorial cannot be used to falsify, because it can be said that Pei Wenli was ghostwritten by his father, and it seems that the handwriting is indeed Written by someone who has worked hard at calligraphy.

Judging from the situation of the two people, it is obvious that their father Pei Boxi was a general, and Pei Wenli was a literary student, so it makes perfect sense that the memorial to the Ming Emperor should be written neatly and beautifully by his son.

Pei Wenli's expression did not change significantly.

This is indeed difficult to do, because no matter how you verify it, as long as one party cannot accurately prove it, the handwriting of the other party cannot prove that it is absolutely wrong.

But Chen Tianping still looked very calm and replied with a smile: "If this letter was not written by General Pei, then why would I keep this letter? Why should I go to all the trouble to forge a letter written by General Pei? ?Since I dare to take it out, I am certainly confident enough to prove my innocence."

"How to prove it?"

"In his later years, Emperor Gao, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, went to Annan to ask for fire eunuchs (little eunuchs), monks, and massage girls (literally). A few years later, he released the monks and massage girls back to Annan, but left behind I hired some firemen as internal officials. I heard that among the people who did not come back were Ruan Suan, Wu Xin, Ruan Zongdao, and Xu Xie (ge has four tones, pronounced "ge"). They used to help King Annan. Those who reviewed the memorial, if they are still alive, will definitely be found in the palace, and they will definitely have seen General Pei's handwriting."

Chen Tianping's words sounded reasonable and reasonable.

However, his expression and demeanor were too calm.

This kind of calmness makes people feel a little weird.

"You don't have to believe me, but..."

Chen Tianping paused, and his tone became extremely cold: "If you believe the nonsense of this fake Pei Boxi and his son, I'm afraid it will be a happy ending for relatives and enemies."

Chen Tianping stared at Pei Wenli closely, his tone getting higher and higher, and at the same time it took on a slightly threatening tone, showing his strong posture.

Moreover, from beginning to end, he never showed any signs of panic or panic.

He was obviously a visitor in the Ming Dynasty. To put it bluntly, he was almost like a prisoner. However, he was like a hunter who had the initiative, and seemed to have complete control over the fate of others.

No matter what, Chen Tianping showed the magnanimity and demeanor that a royal family should have.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at him quietly, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"First go and report to His Majesty, and then find these four eunuchs in the palace."

"Here!" Wang Bin took the order and left.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance, but Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyiwei who was suspended at home to take care of his child, was temporarily called over to take charge of handling this important foreign matter.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Jing, the current top official of the Ministry of Rites, Zuo Shilang, also put down his preparations for the [Taizu's Death Day] and came to the scene with Xun Zhan, the young minister of Honglu Temple who directly managed the Huitong Hall.

Obviously, this vicious wounding incident has become a big deal.

The envoy from the Champa State stabbed General Annan, who had come to defect to the Ming Dynasty, which undoubtedly raised the nature of this matter to another level.

However, the two parties who came to the scene obviously had different perceptions of the right to handle the incident.

Wang Jing, who has appeared before, is the great writer who wrote profound and powerful articles, deeply grasped the essence of ancient literary styles, and was praised as "the successor of Qu Song Dynasty, and the successor of Ma Ma". He is already sixty-six years old this year .

It's a pity that if we have to use an all-or-nothing way to classify, this person is an out-and-out conservative, and one of the leading ones. After all, he is the first person in the ancient literature school, and he insists on "The past is better than the present" means it is impossible to agree with reforms.

Moreover, the old man's qualifications were too high. He was similar to Zhuo Jing. Although he was not a minister, he was still one of the top senior officials in the Ming Dynasty. He was not afraid of Jiang Xinghuo at all.

As for the young minister of Honglu Temple, Xun Zhan, who he brought over, he was a Jinshi in the second year of Jianwen, together with Yang Rong and Jin Youzi. He is only thirty-four years old now, but he has already risen from the fifth rank, far behind all others. In the same period, there were a large number of Jinshi.

Of course, it's not because Xun Zhan is very good, but because he has found a good dock early. Before, he was the right hand of the Ministry of Rites to the Minister of Rites. Seeing the Minister of Rites, the answer is self-evident. It is the left minister of the Ministry of Rites. As a disciple of the minister Wang Jing, he was also promoted by Wang Jing to a place that was actually under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites. However, the responsible official had to hold the title of Shaoqing of Honglu Temple and was responsible for receiving envoys from foreign countries and paying tribute. He had power and money, which was rare for the Ministry of Rites. The oil and water yamen has been controlled by Wang Jing, and Li Zhigang has no way to get involved.

After Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyiwei, suffered a big fall, he no longer had the arrogance of suddenly ascending to a high position. Now he was following Jiang Xinghuo like a little sheep, saying "Master National Master" at the same time. He shouted, not making the decision himself, relying entirely on Jiang Xinghuo's orders, obviously not planning to take the blame for the decision.

"slow!"

Just when Guard Jiang Xinghuo was about to read the letter in public, a loud shout rang out.

Xun Zhan, the young minister of Honglu Temple, had already stood up and stopped in front of everyone.

Seeing Jiang Xinghuo's unhappy expression, Ji Gang frowned at him while holding his embroidered spring knife, and said coldly, "Is something wrong, Shaoqing Xun?"

Xun Zhan looked very sincere and said: "Both Pei Boxi and Chen Tianping are under our management. Now that there is a bloody conflict, we naturally have to deal with it."

Xun Zhan said these words very firmly, and his face was full of sincerity, with no trace of falsehood, as if this was what he should have said.

Obviously, Xun Zhan said these words on behalf of his benefactor Wang Jing.

The meaning is also very obvious, which is to warn Jiang Xinghuo not to cross the line. Now that Li Zhi, the Minister of Rites, has just been imprisoned, his left minister Wang Jing is temporarily acting as minister. This is the matter of the Ministry of Rites, so Jiang Xinghuo should not interfere casually.

But how could Jiang Xinghuo spoil him?

It would be fine if it was easy to talk and discuss, but such a rigid attitude could not scare Jiang Xinghuo.

What's more, this bad thing done by the Ministry of Rites can arrange the feuding feuding people of Annan and Champa together. What else can they be expected to investigate at this time? What can be done to deal with the aftermath?

"My master has received instructions from His Majesty that all matters related to Annan must be handled."

Xun Zhan was about to say something, but when he saw the knife on Jiang Xinghuo's waist, he was immediately frightened.

It's not that the Imperial Master doesn't dare to kill people, this knife has killed Ding Meixia, the fourth-rank Changzhou magistrate.

There was an oral instruction and a precious sword. If Jiang Xinghuo killed him right now, no one would be able to avenge him.

Although it seemed that he hadn't reached that point yet, the thought flashed through Xun Zhan's mind, and his momentum suddenly became much weaker.

"Xun Shaoqing, there is no need to say any more."

Wang Jing stroked his white beard and said slowly from the side: "Let's just wait and see how the Imperial Master handles it."

After Jiang Xinghuo signaled, the attendant at his side slowly tore open the envelope, checked it first, and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the contents inside. After confirming that it was just a piece of letter paper, he carefully pulled out the letter inside, held it with his hand and opened it for Jiang Xinghuo. Watching and reading means fearing that poison will be smeared on the letter.

There is not much content in the letter, only a few lines. Excluding the content before and after, there are only two sentences at the core.

"The Li family usurped the country, and we rose up to resist, but the thieves were really helpless.

Wang and his grandchildren can rush to the Ming Dynasty to pray to the king, and there may be a glimmer of hope for the restoration of the country. "

The signature at the end of the letter is none other than Pei Boxi.

Above the name, there is the seal of "Fenwu General Pei Boqi". He is a general with a mixed number, which fits the previous description.

It seems that this letter is indeed from Pei Boxi.

Seeing the Imperial Master's brows furrowed, the crowd of people watching also murmured. They didn't know the content of the letter, but judging from the Imperial Master's reaction, this letter was definitely not ordinary!

Subsequently, the letter was circulated to Wang Jing, Xun Zhan and others.

Due to lack of information, the two did not comment, but it was obvious that the degree of bizarreness of this matter had exceeded their expectations. Now that Jiang Xinghuo took the initiative to take over this hot potato, they were happy to see it happen.

Chen Tianping was held in front of Jiang Xinghuo by the soldiers, with a smile on his lips but his eyes unblinkingly stared at Pei Wenli on the other side.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the expressions of the two people and thought to himself:

"Why would Pei Wenli directly say that Chen Tianping is the fake Wang Sun? Is he betting that Chen Tianping can't prove himself, so he takes the lead? But if Chen Tianping proves himself, isn't he afraid that the secret will be exposed immediately? This method can only solve it temporarily. Even in such a dangerous situation, he is still dead in the end, Pei Wenli doesn't look like such a stupid person."

At present, it seems that Chen Tianping, who was regarded as a fake king and grandson just now, is more confident, while Pei Boxi and his son are more like spies sent by Annan to infiltrate the Ming Dynasty.

But Jiang Xinghuo paid close attention to Pei Wenli's gaze, and found that his peripheral vision had been staring nervously at Pei Boqi, who was lying on the door panel and was still in a coma just after surgery. He seemed to be very worried about his father's safety.

This discovery suddenly gave Jiang Xinghuo a thought: "It seems that Pei Wenli cares more about his father's life than the current situation? Why is this? In this case, what he cares about is his father's life. Or die?"

Once this idea came up, Jiang Xinghuo had a new guess, but it was not easy to confirm it at this time.

At this time, Pei Wenli's eyes finally moved away from the door panel and fell on Chen Tianping's face again.

Chen Tianping looked at him without fear.

"Hmph!" Pei Wenli sneered and said, "It can't be fake if it's true, and it can't be true if it's false."

Chen Tianping said calmly: "To each other."

Pei Wenli's eyes instantly turned cold. After he was silent for a moment, he suddenly said to Jiang Xinghuo: "Master National Preceptor, this person is indeed pretending to be a king's grandson and conspired with the Champa Kingdom to deceive the Ming Dynasty. I have evidence."

Jiang Xinghuo was too lazy to praise him and just looked at him quietly.

Pei Wenli had no choice but to continue: "He collected money from the Champa State mission."

"Oh? Really?" Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyebrows with interest.

Pei Wenli nodded and said: "I saw it with my own eyes. Otherwise, how could my father be stabbed by the Champa State envoy? It was because they happened to see through their identities and secrets that they became angry and bit me. Father and son. Please think carefully, if not so, how could they 'happen' to have such a letter with them?"

Chen Tianping's expression suddenly changed and he said: "Slander!"

Looking at the two people biting each other, seeing that Shen Si Jiang Xinghuo remained silent, Wang Jing stroked his white beard and smiled, saying:

"Now the two of them have caused a big case. One said that Wang Sun was fake and the other said that the general was fake. No one can judge now. Chen Tianping, if you can prove that you are not fake Wang Sun, then you can return to Where you live; and if you can't prove it, we'll try it again, and if you are willing to cooperate, you won't suffer much, otherwise, you will have to be judged by His Majesty."

Chen Tianping took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I am willing to cooperate with Ming Dynasty's investigation. If it is confirmed that I am not the grandson of Prince Annan, Ming Dynasty can do whatever he wants with me."

"very good."

Wang Jing looked at Jiang Xinghuo and asked again: "Has the Imperial Master figured out how to deal with it?"

Jiang Xinghuo frowned. The flash of inspiration just now was interrupted by words, which made him quite annoyed. Just now, he seemed to have thought of something and touched the threshold of the truth.

But the matter has come to this, and we can only continue according to the steps.

Jiang Xinghuo turned to look at Ji Gang and ordered: "Summon the Champa State envoy."

"Yes, Master National Preceptor!"

Ji Gang personally took the royal guards to "invite" the Champa State envoy. Since there were dozens of Champa State envoys, they must be disarmed and guarded, and it was impossible to bring them all, so they could only Bring the chief, deputy envoys, and some key personnel over for questioning.

Now it's up to the three parties to confront each other to see who reveals the secret.

The Champa State mission also knew that the matter was serious, and they did not dare to resist on Ming Dynasty's territory, so they had actually

I was waiting for the summons outside, and I was already very anxious at this time.

Upon hearing the summons, more than ten representatives of the Champa State mission immediately entered the courtyard. When they saw Jiang Xinghuo, they immediately knelt down and bowed to the ground, with their heads pressed tightly to the ground, showing unusual cowardice.

But they didn't speak.

The reason is also very simple. The members of the Champa State mission who were present did not speak Chinese.

Compared with Annan, Champa is not bordered by the Ming Dynasty, so the degree of Chineseization is lower. A Han Chinese can basically walk in the aristocratic society of Annan without any hindrance, but this is not the case in Champa. Champa is still dominated by the local language. The surnames used are not the common surnames in Annan such as "Chen, Ruan, Wu, Wu, Li, Hu, Pei", etc., but surnames that have nothing to do with Chinese characters.

But even so, logically speaking, the chief and deputy envoys of the Champa State mission should still understand Chinese characters and speak Chinese. However, the Champa State envoy who was brought here knelt on the ground and talked a lot, but Jiang Xinghuo listened completely. don't know.

Fortunately, the Huitong Pavilion here in Daming has an interpreter (translator). This is not the first time that Daming and Champa have interacted, so the translator seems to be very skilled.

The result of the translation for Jiang Xinghuo was that the Champa State envoy said that the reason why they came to the Ming Dynasty was simply to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty on the order of the Champa King, but they did not expect to encounter such a terrible thing. They would never admit that their move was to challenge the majesty of the Ming Dynasty, and they did not know Chen Tianping's true identity.

Jiang Xinghuo asked them straight to the point what happened today and why Pei Wenli's father, Pei Boxi, was attacked by them.

"The envoy from the Champa State said that in the alley just now, Pei Wenli used a very embarrassing allusion between the two countries, which was roughly similar to our country's 'Gou Jian tastes dung' to insult them, so they angrily They pulled out the daggers they carried and rushed forward, but Pei Wenli ran away, so they stabbed Pei Boqi."

As mentioned before, the Annan State and the Champa State became feuding after the common external pressure of the Mongols disappeared. Champa was bullied miserably by Annan, and after Champa became stronger, Annan’s capital, Thang Long Mansion, was also bullied. The army captured the city three times and the king was killed once.

Therefore, the two countries do have a blood feud. Once they mention something that should not be mentioned, they are stabbed to death. It is really not unjust.

But Jiang Xinghuo still pondered for a moment and asked a seemingly unnecessary question: "Why didn't Pei Boxi run away?"

The envoy from the Champa State babbled a lot, and finally said that they didn't understand it either. They just said that maybe it was to cover Pei Wenli's escape.

After all, Pei Boxi was Pei Wenli's father, and he was also a military commander. When in danger, it was only natural for him to protect the son of a weak scholar from escaping.

Looking at Pei Boqi who was still looking bad on the ground but breathing a little more evenly, Jiang Xinghuo looked at Pei Wenli who lowered her head and said nothing, seeming to remember the suspicion she had been interrupted before.

Seeing that Jiang Xinghuo didn't speak, Ji Gang, commander of the Jin Yiwei, asked for Jiang Xinghuo from the side.

"Then are there any financial transactions between you and Chen Tianping?"

"have."

In fact, there is no need to ask, because Jin Yiwei has already found gold engraved with the unique logo of the Champa Kingdom from Chen Tianping's body, so it is impossible to deny it by saying "no dealings". The only doubt is what happened. Is it because of some exchange? Is it because Pei Wenli said that Chen Tianping once surrendered to the Champa State? There is a collusion between the two parties about Chen Tianping acting as a spy to deceive the trust of the Ming Dynasty and asking the Ming Dynasty to help send troops to Annan, and the Champa State benefited from it. .

It should be noted that in the initial confrontation between Pei Wenli and Chen Tianping, Pei Wenli only said that Chen Tianping was the fake Prince Annan, and in the conversation just now, she only said that their identities and secrets were revealed by her. The violence and wounding did not mention the specific relationship between Chen Tianping and the Champa State mission.

The deputy envoy in the Champa State mission naturally insisted that there was money exchange between him and Chen Tianping, but he only lost it in gambling. He didn't bring any money yesterday and didn't give it to Chen Tianping. Today he went over to give the money back. Provided an IOU sent to Chen Tianping last night, which indeed stated that the deputy envoy owed the money, which matched what was found on Chen Tianping.

Seeing that the characters on the IOU were not in Chinese characters, Jiang Xinghuo asked for the interpreter and found out that they were in the characters of the Champa Kingdom.

But obviously, if the relationship between the two parties is a cooperative relationship as Pei Wenli said, and Chen Tianping is the fake Prince Annan and a spy employed by the Champa State mission, then the two parties will make such an IOU to rationalize the money exchange in case of emergencies. The need seems to make sense.

Therefore, relying solely on the article is actually not enough to prove anything. It cannot prove that Chen Tianping did not collude with the Champa State mission, nor can it prove that the two have any secrets.

The envoy of the Champa Kingdom, whose skin was dark red and seemed to have been exposed to wind and sun all the time, stood in the center of the Champa Kingdom's mission without saying a word.

In fact, the skin of these envoys from the Champa State is this color, and they also have calluses on their hands. However, considering that the Champa State is indeed underdeveloped, and the entire country has a long and narrow border along the coast and is located in a low latitude area, this look is not bad. common.

After a round of questioning, the Champa State mission did not provide any effective clues on the truth behind the stabbing of Pei Boxi or on confirming Chen Tianping's identity.

For a moment, this suspenseful case seemed to be in a stalemate.

At this moment, Chen Tianping suddenly raised his head and spoke.

"Master Imperial Master, I have something to say to you alone."

Hearing this, Chen Tianping's eyes fell on the deputy envoy of the Champa State mission.

Although the deputy envoy of the Champa State mission did not understand what they were talking about, there was a trace of panic on his face at this time, which was obviously extremely abnormal.

——There are secrets.

Jiang Xinghuo nodded and said, "Commander Ji, bring him with me."

"etc."

Wang Jing, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, suddenly said: "I and Shaoqing Xun also want to listen."

Seeing that the leader of the Ancient Literature School seemed to be deliberately trying to make things difficult for him, Jiang Xinghuo did not do anything to them, but said calmly: "Come with me if you want to hear it."

Wang Jing was slightly startled, as if he didn't expect Jiang Xinghuo to be so easy to talk to.

At this moment, Pei Wenli, who was also being escorted, glared at Chen Tianping reluctantly, and then watched helplessly as two Jinyi guards took over from Jiang Xinghuo's attendants, escorted Chen Tianping away from the place, and followed Jiang Xinghuo into A room in the courtyard.

After a while.

"Master Imperial Master, I want to report this."

As soon as he entered the room, Chen Tianping said bluntly: "I have important news to tell you, Master Imperial Master."

"oh?"

Jiang Xinghuo said with great interest: "What's the important news? Tell me about it."

Wang Jing and Xun Zhan were also obviously interested in this, and Ji Gang quietly pricked up his ears.

Obviously, everyone realizes that what Chen Tianping is going to explain now will definitely affect the direction of the entire incident.

Chen Tianping made no secret and said simply.

"I have financial transactions with the mission of the Champa State, and it is indeed not because of the debt. The debt is just a cover."

"So, you are a spy of the Champa Kingdom?" Ji Gang asked with a frown.

If enemy spies were allowed to sneak into Nanjing, especially if they were disguised as Wang Sun, someone who might meet Emperor Yongle, this would actually be a dereliction of duty by Jin Yiwei.

Contrary to Ji Gang's expectation, Chen Tianping shook his head.

Then, events took another dramatic turn.

Chen Tianping looked at everyone and said: "I am not a spy of the Champa State. This money is the hush money they gave me."

"Why should you be silenced?" Ji Gang's brows furrowed even more tightly.

Chen Tianping suddenly smiled.

Immediately afterwards, I became overjoyed, and my nose and tears flowed out of laughter.

"——Fake, it's all fake!"

“Because the Champa State’s mission is fake, from beginning to end!”

"What did you say?" Xun Zhan, who had been watching the fun just now, couldn't sit still at all. He actually stepped forward, grabbed Chen Tianping's collar and shook it back and forth, asking in disbelief.

Yes, if the Champa State envoy stabbed General Annan who came to defect to the Ming Dynasty, although he was the official in charge, his responsibility for this matter was actually large or small. With Wang Jing's protection, he would most likely be punished. The salary was settled in a few months.

But if the entire Champa State mission, yes, the entire mission, is fake, then the fun will be in full swing!

After watching the fun for a long time, the biggest fun is actually myself?

Jiang Xinghuo smiled.

Now it’s interesting.

First, Pei Wenli said that Chen Tianping was a fake Prince of Annan, a spy bought by the Champa State, and wanted to get the Ming Dynasty to support him so that the Champa State could profit from it; then Chen Tianping said that Pei Boxi and Pei Wenli and his son were dead long ago. These two people were fake Annan spies sent by the Hu family; at this time, Chen Tianping actually told him that the entire Champa State mission was fake!

This answer made Ji Gang, the spy chief, stunned. He suspected that Chen Tianping was joking. However, the other party's laughter made him short of breath, but it really didn't look like he was joking.

"open!"

Ji Gang reacted and shouted to Xun Zhan, the young minister of Honglu Temple who had lost his composure.

Although Ji Gang was a scholar from Jinan Prefecture, he was a big man from Shandong and was skilled in bow and horse. He also served as a personal guard for Zhu Di. When he saw that Xun Zhan was still holding on to Chen Tianping's collar, and Chen Tianping was already short of breath, he grabbed him. Pulled Xi Zhan out.

After Chen Tianping finished laughing, Jiang Xinghuo took out his handkerchief and asked him to wipe the tears on his face.

Chen Tianping then continued: "There is no such thing as a mission from the Champa State. They were disguised as pirates from Southeast Asia. The only mission from the Champa State came to pay tribute in the first month of the Yongle year." Later, on their way back to China by sea, they were robbed by this group of pirates who were rampant in the seas east of Annam and Champa. The members of the mission were thrown into the sea to feed the fish, and all their clothes , ornaments, seals, and tokens were all stripped off. Everyone in the world knows that the Ming Emperor was very generous to the countries that came to pay tribute, and they just came to defraud the Ming Dynasty out of money."

"Master National Master, if you think about it carefully, if you say that these people have dark skin and vulgar conversation, it can also explain that they are like this by nature. But which country in the world does not learn Chinese? How can there be a Champa who cannot speak Chinese? The chief and deputy envoy? Does this make sense?"

Chen Tianping's every word was precise and resounding, and it seemed that every word pierced the hearts of everyone present.

Yeah, that doesn't make sense.

Just when Xun Zhan was already sweating all over his body.

Chen Tianping paused and continued: "Master Imperial Master, I know these words are too abrupt, but if you think about it carefully, I heard that these so-called 'missions from the Champa State' wrote memorials to the Ming Dynasty because of The 'Champa State Mission' was robbed by the Annan State, so the Champa King sent another group of missions to the Ming Dynasty to complain. However, Annan and Champa have been feuding for generations and have long been jealous. If it was a robbery How is it possible to put the person back intact? Are we waiting for these witnesses to tell the king of Champa, and then let the king complain to the Ming Dynasty? And since it is a complaint, where are the witnesses? "

After Chen Tianping finished speaking, the air in the room became dull.

There are indeed too many doubts, but who can guarantee that these so-called ‘doubts’ raised by Chen Tianping are not true? After all, the people from the Champa State mission are here, and their behavior is indeed suspicious. Moreover, every word spoken by this person named Chen Tianping seems to be flawless, making it impossible to find fault.

However, Jiang Xinghuo still had some doubts in his heart, always feeling that things would not be so simple.

At this time, Ji Gang frowned and said: "This matter is easy to confirm. I will investigate clearly, but you have to explain to me why you know each other? If you don't know each other, how did you find out their pirate identities? "

Chen Tianping's answer was plain and simple: "I understand the Champa dialect. Their disguise is indeed full of loopholes, and the most important thing is that I have no money."

"Nonsense! Full of nonsense!"

Xun Zhan's hands and feet were already a little weak at this time. He was the one who received this "mission from the Champa State". If it was all fake and he didn't notice it at all, then it would be a sure sign that if word spread, his career would not be good. If you say it's completely over, you will definitely become the laughing stock of all your colleagues in the future!

"Look, this idiot got tricked by a bunch of pirates."

Xun Zhan seemed to have auditory hallucinations in his ears, and double images began to appear in front of his eyes, as if a group of people were pointing and whispering at him.

However, in the end, Chen Tianping added another blow and said: "I heard that the memorial also said that the king of Champa was willing to cede land to the Ming Dynasty and let the Ming Dynasty send officials to manage it. Based on this alone, do you think this is possible? Is this possible? You are just writing randomly, showing generosity to others in order to win the trust of Ming Dynasty. Master Xi, you don’t believe it, do you?”
