Xu Fu came to this era, he was called Zheng He, and in order to escape the scourge of war, he hid in Yunnan.

In the fourteenth year of Hongwu, Fu Youde and Lan Yu were ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang to go on an expedition to Yunnan, and the Ming army was like a bamboo, and it took only half a year to pacify the entire territory of Yunnan, and it was this expedition that changed the fate of Zheng He. For the Ming Dynasty government and Zhu Yuanzhang, this was just one of countless expeditions, but for Zheng He, this expedition was a turning point in his life, an unknown turning point.

After the war, many people became prisoners of war, and Zheng He also became prisoners of war of the Ming army.

Although this is not the first time for Zheng He, he was also castrated once when he was a tall force in the Tang Dynasty, although this was an extremely cruel punishment, but he endured it, because he had an immortal body, and soon his little brother grew again.

It is not difficult to imagine that many people have experienced such pain, and countless dreams seem to have left, but the beginning of tragedy is often the starting point of glory. Whether it is a tragedy or glory depends only on people's hearts, and whether people's hearts are strong enough.

From then on, Zheng He began to follow the Ming army to fight in all directions, and the wind and snow in the north and the yellow sand in the desert left his traces everywhere, and suddenly became a member of the war, running on the battlefield where rivers of blood flowed and corpses were everywhere. In war, no one can guarantee that he will survive tomorrow, so the only person who can take care of him is himself.

It is impossible to imagine how much Zheng He has suffered, how tired he has suffered, how many times he has escaped death, and the tragic encounter has not wiped out the hope and belief in his heart. After five years of wandering, he met a person who influenced his life, and this person was Zhu Di.

As Zhu Di, the king of Yan, he took a fancy to this taciturn but resolute young man at a glance, and chose him to be his personal guard, and Zheng He followed Zhu Di's left and right and became his cronies. Gold shines everywhere, and Zheng He is a man destined to achieve great things.

Heaven wants you to suffer, and often returns more to you, which is also not uncommon, Zheng He was reused by Zhu Di and became a hot figure in the court, as Zhu Di's courtier, he has received a lot of glory that others dare not imagine. But fate seems to have made him a legend, to make him immortal, and a greater mission and glory will befall him, and a greater cause will await him to create.

Zhu Di was born to the concubine of Emperor Yuan Shun who did not have time to escape, and the concubine was accepted by Zhu Yuanzhang as a harem. Zhu Di was born with a strange appearance and a beautiful beard, which is very different from his father Zhu Yuanzhang, who has a melon face and a slut appearance, because he has the blood of the northern Koreans.

In the twenty-third year of Hongwu, Zhu Di and his imperial brother Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, and Zhu Feng, the king of Jin, led troops to attack the remnants of Mongolia. Zhu Fan and Zhu Feng were cowardly, they both stayed and did not dare to advance, Zhu Di doubled the way, and the soldiers of the command post went straight to the capital mountain, and the defeat was not spent, and countless people and cattle and horses were captured.

Hearing the news of his son Zhu Di's great victory, Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed, and after that, he repeatedly sent Zhu Di to lead the generals to the expedition, and ordered him to control the soldiers and horses along the border. Zhu Di is a good martial prince who has been studying side affairs for a long time and is skilled in bow and horse, and has nearly 20 years of experience in dominating one side.

Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, and Zhu Su, the king of Zhou, was arrested first, so that Zhu Di, who had different intentions, seized the time to recruit troops, selected strong men as guards, and gathered strange warlocks everywhere.

By the end of the same year, Emperor Jianwen's ministers had learned that King Yan's actions were unusual and had taken some measures to guard against Zhu Di. First of all, in the name of guarding against Mongolia in the north, Emperor Jianwen sent military generals to garrison Kaiping, and ordered the guards belonging to King Yan to be transferred out of the fortress.

Secondly, Zhang Rui, the squire of the Ministry of Works, was sent as the political envoy of Beiping, and Xie Gui was appointed as the commander of the capital, to investigate the movements of this prince anytime and anywhere. At the same time, Zhu Di's brother-in-law Xu Huizu, the son of the hero Xu Da, often sent the information about King Yan from his sister to Emperor Jianwen, which was greatly used, and was crowned as the crown prince and concubine, and together with Li Jinglong, he commanded the army, ready to launch the move of Tuyan at any time.

In the spring of the first year of Jianwen, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, sent Shi Gecheng, the chief of the army, to Beijing to perform affairs, but in fact, he also went to the imperial court to listen to the tone and explore the truth. Emperor Jianwen treated each other sincerely, and asked Ge Cheng about the situation of King Yan, Ge Changshi was an honest man, and when the emperor asked, he reported the misdeeds of Yan Fan one by one. Emperor Jianwen was both happy and worried, and sent Ge Cheng back to Beiping, and secretly ordered him to be the internal response. Zhu Di has a suspicious personality, like his father Zhu Yuanzhang, after Ge Cheng came back, he noticed that this person's expression was different, and he immediately became suspicious.

In March, King Yan met with Emperor Jianwen, the nephew of the new monarch, in front of the public, Zhu Di angrily did not bow down, obviously not only the old treacherous and slippery, but also domineering. At that time, there was a superintendent of the imperial history to impeach him for the crime of disrespect, and Emperor Jianwen was benevolent and couldn't bear to ask about the crime.

Yan Wang Zhu Di returned to China, if he wanted to deal with Yan Wang Zhu Di in Nanjing, the strength of the two jailers could give him any charge at will, and he would be arrested first. It's a pity that Emperor Jianwen is too soft, and what makes people wonder is that they don't know what Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng and others, who have been coming up with ideas to cut the domain, have done, and they don't try to persuade Emperor Jianwen to start at the critical moment, let the tiger return to the mountain, raise the tiger and fight back, and regret it.

Emperor Jianwen took some remedial measures, sent the governor Geng Zhen to take charge of the Beiping capital, and the imperial Shi Jingqing was the chief of the Beiping political department, and sent Song Zhong to lead 30,000 soldiers to guard Kaiping, in the name of preparing for the border, and ordered the elite soldiers of the Yan Mansion to be subordinate to Song Zhong, and at the same time he also secretly ordered Zhang Rui and Xie Gui to prepare every move of the king of Yan. After Zhu Di returned to China, he immediately refused to go out due to illness, and soon said that he was critically ill to confuse the imperial court.

On the day of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's death, according to the etiquette system, all the kings should come to the mausoleum to pay tribute. Zhu Di claimed to be seriously ill and sent his son Zhu Gaochi and his other two sons Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui into Beijing. Zhu Di, the king of Yan, said in one word: "This move is just to make the court no longer doubt me." ”

Yan Shizi Zhu Gaochi and other three brothers entered Beijing, and Qi Tai, the secretary of the military department, persuaded Emperor Jianwen to put all three of them under house arrest. Huang Zicheng objected: "No, it's not a good thing to put them under house arrest if you suspect them." It's better to repatriate. ”

Xiucai deliberated, thought about it, and finally did not complete the case. However, Xu Huizu, the uncle of the three brothers of King Yan's son, entered the palace and said: "Among my three nephews, only Zhu Gaoxu is a brave and scoundrel, not only is he disloyal, but he will also betray his father, and it will definitely become a big disaster in the future." ”

Emperor Jianwen hesitated and asked Xu Huizu's younger brother Xu Zengshou and his concubine Wang Ning for advice. These two people usually have a close relationship with King Yan and his three sons, drinking and singing, naturally they all say good things, and Emperor Jianwen sent the three back to China after the ceremony. When Zhu Gaoxu was leaving, he also sneaked into his uncle Xu Huizu's stable and stole the best horse, revealing his rogue character.

Originally, not long after Zhu Di sent his three sons to Beijing, he suddenly regretted it, for fear that the three boys would be wiped out by their cousin who was the emperor. Now seeing the three people returning safely and unharmed, Zhu Di was overjoyed and shouted: "Our father and son are reunited, God help me!"

Emperor Jianwen made one mistake by letting Zhu Di return to Beiping; he also indulged Zhu Gaochi, the son of King Yan, and others to return to China, so that Zhu Di had no scruples in raising troops, and made two mistakes; in particular, he let go of Zhu Gaochu, who was strong and daring to fight, and made three mistakes. In the future, Zhu Di's sharpest soldiers, the one who added the last force at the critical moment, was this Zhu Gaoxu. At that time, Emperor Jianwen sighed: "I regret not listening to Xu Huizu's words. "It's too late.

Now that the tiger has returned to the mountain, Jianwen Junchen should wait and see what happens, and not arouse Zhu Di's impatience. However, in July of the first year of Jianwen, the young emperor sent people to arrest Yu Liang and Zhou Duo, the official schools of King Yan, to kill them in the capital, and issued an edict to condemn Zhu Di.

In order to gain time, Zhu Di pretended to be crazy, shouted and walked around in Beiping City, snatching people's wine and food, eating nonsense, talking nonsense, lying on the ground rolling and scolding, and pretending to be unconscious all day long. Emperor Jianwen's eyeliner Zhang Rui and Xie Gui entered the palace to visit the sick, and in the middle of summer, they saw Zhu Di roasting in front of a big stove wearing a big quilt, and shook their heads again and again and shouted: "Freeze me to death!"

Zhang Rui and Xie Gui played secretly, Emperor Jianwen and others really believed it to be true, but fortunately, Yan Wang Changshi Ge Cheng was the internal response, and the secret report was that Zhu Di was about to raise troops. Qi Tai, the secretary of the military department, immediately made a decision, and immediately sent a messenger to order Yousi to quickly go to Beiping, arrest the relevant people in the Yanwang Mansion, and secretly order Zhang Rui, Xie Gui and others to act at the opportunity.

At the same time, the Ming court secretly commanded Zhang Xin, the envoy of Beiping, because he had always been the prince of Yan, and ordered him to personally arrest Zhu Di. If Zhang Xin is ordered, no matter how great Zhu Di's ability is, he is just the only dragon of the palace, and the emperor will edict it, everyone will put down the staff and arrest him and send him to Beijing, and the story will come to an end.

History has been dramatic at a critical moment.

Zhang Xin held the secret in his hand, very worried, and didn't dare to make a noise, but sighed with a sad face. His mother asked him suspiciously, Zhang Xin was honest, and his mother was shocked: "No, I heard that King Yan should own the world, and the king's person will not die, not something you can capture." ”

Zhu Di has been gathering monks, Taoist priests, and scholars around him, and this key point has an effect. This old lady must usually like to eat and worship Buddha, often walk into the temple, heard a lot of rumors, and believes that this Yan King is the incarnation of the Ninety-Five True Dragon.

I can't help but listen to my mother's words, Zhang Xin has made up his mind and decided to have a showdown with King Yan. Zhang Xin rode to the mansion of King Yan, but was stopped by the doorman, and excused himself by saying that the king was seriously ill and could not see anyone, but in fact, Zhu Di was afraid of being arrested in front of him, and no one from outside was allowed to see him. There is also a way to take this letter to a woman's sedan chair, disguise herself, enter the house, and then report her true identity and ask to see her.

Zhu Di had no choice but to hum and chirp, crooked on the bed and barely took care of him. Zhang Xin entered the room, kowtowed and bowed, Zhu Di pretended to be half-paralyzed, squeaked and gestured, and pretended to be speechless.

Zhang Xin said: "Your Highness, don't pretend like this, if you have any important matters, please discuss with your subordinates." ”

Zhu Di shook his tongue and said, "I'm very sick, not pretending." ”

Zhang Xin also said: "If Your Highness does not tell the truth to the ministers, I have an edict on me, you should be arrested immediately and enter Beijing to be interrogated; ”

Seeing Zhang Xin so relieved, Zhu Di didn't dare to pretend anymore, and hurriedly rolled off the bed and bowed to Zhang Xin, saying, "Please save my family's life!"
