Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing and placed it later. He is in charge of the Nanjing Guards, as well as the affairs of Nanjing's left-behind and protective affairs. In the first year of Hongxi in the Ming Dynasty, eunuchs were guarded together.

"Wang Gonggong-?" Yang Zheng naturally didn't know who it was, and Chen Wu on the side hurriedly reminded: "Wang Jinghong?

Yang Zheng didn't know who this Wang Jinghong was, his expression didn't look surprised, he nodded and said, "What can the prince say?"

The little eunuch said, "The prince said that he came here for the matter of Gonggong Zheng's Dabao'en Temple?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone knew that this prince was here to be a lobbyist for Zheng He, and no one was surprised, as far as the relationship between these two people came out, it would be strange if he didn't come.

Yang Zhengzheng didn't know what to do, after hearing this, he also vaguely knew that this Wang Jinghong was here to be a lobbyist for Zheng He, and secretly felt that this Zheng He also had some face, and he actually let the dignified Nanjing garrison come to be a lobbyist for him, which really made him feel a little surprised, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise this situation was still a little unbearable, and he barely squeezed out a smile, nodded at the little eunuch and said: "It's okay, 500,000 is not a small amount after all, let's listen to what the prince said?"

Chen Shan was slightly flustered when he heard this, his plan today can be said to be completely disrupted, and the various scenes he expected never appeared, which made him feel faintly uneasy, and at this time, he didn't expect that it was not Zheng He, but the dignified Nanjing garrison.

For this Wang Jinghong, Chen Shan has no disgust, nor does he have any good feelings, but he still has some admiration for this person's talent.

This Wang Jinghong was a eunuch in the Hongwu period, and his reputation in the Hongwu Dynasty was not prominent, until the Jianwen period, he secretly followed Zhu Di to raise troops and help Zhu Di seize the throne, which was appreciated by Zhu Di. In the third year of Yongle, he was ordered by Cheng Zu to assist Zheng He, the envoy, and led a huge fleet of 62 huge sea ships, more than 27,800 officers and sailors to the Western Ocean. The fleet departed from Liujiagang in Suzhou, passed through the East China Sea and the South China Sea, and successively reached Champa (present-day South Vietnam), Siam (present-day Thailand), Java, Sumatra, and Sriwijaya (present-day Indonesia). The fleet annihilated a group of pirates led by Chen Zuyi who attempted to rob the fleet at Sriwijaya. Later, it passed through Manraka (present-day Malacca) to Tianzhu (present-day India) and Mount Ceylon (present-day Sri Lanka), and went north to Kochi (present-day Cochin in India), Guri (present-day Kozhikod, India), and Kolkata on the west coast of the Indian Ocean, and then returned to Khurumus (present-day Bandar Abbas, Iran). After more than two years, Yu Yongle returned to Nanjing in September of the fifth year. On the return voyage, most of the Western countries sent envoys to Nanjing with treasures to pay tribute to Nanjing. Since then, his fame has become prominent, and his status in the court and China is equal to that of Zheng He.

Since then, he has been following Zheng He to the West and has made many meritorious achievements. After the death of Chengzu, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne as the emperor, Wang Jinghong was promoted to the eunuch of the envoy because of his meritorious service in supporting the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, and his heir Wang Zhen was also given the hereditary Nanjing Jinyi Wei Zheng Qianhu, which was highly valued.

In September, Zhu Gaochi ordered Wang Jinghong to be appointed as the garrison of Nanjing, and to take charge of Nanjing's military affairs with Xiangcheng Bo Li Long; Wang Jinghong renovated the Ming Palace in Nanjing, after Zheng He came to Nanjing, the two were responsible for the construction of the Great Bao'en Temple, the official duties, just like when they went to the West, the two went to the West for many years, the relationship is extraordinary, their own inspection, not only found Zheng He's head, but also invisibly offended Wang Jinghong, at this time he can come to the palace, but also in Chen Shan's expectations.

When Chen Shan was thinking carefully, he heard a sound of footsteps, followed by a sharp voice: "Nanjing garrison Wang Jinghong has seen His Royal Highness, may His Highness be a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old?"

Yang Zheng was not familiar with this Wang Jinghong, but he still knew what the meaning of the four words of Nanjing garrison was, and nodded and said, "The prince doesn't have to be formal, get up and speak?"

Wang Jinghong is about fifty years old, with a fair complexion, light eyebrows and fine eyes, and a delicate appearance, but his nose is a little rosacea, showing his good wine temperament.

Wang Jinghong responded respectfully and got up from the ground.

Although Yang Zheng's face has remained calm, he was still a little nervous before he heard the little eunuch shouting, and he didn't know how to deal with Chen Shan, and at this time, when he heard that the person in front of him was coming for Zheng He's Great Bao'en Temple, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "Since people are coming, how can they fight an unprepared battle, these 500,000 taels of silver, I'm afraid they have been embezzled by Zheng He?"

Putting down the stone in his heart, Yang Zheng sat back with his slightly raised buttocks, this time he was too stable to be stable, he believed that the father-in-law in front of him, who always maintained the smile of the Mona Lisa on his face, would never let himself down.

This feeling was in his heart from the moment the person in front of him stood up.

"Father-in-law, but there is something to say?" Yang Zheng asked lightly.

Hearing Yang Zheng's question, Wang Jinghong immediately stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said: "Your Highness Mingjian, the slave heard that Gonggong Zheng and Lord Chen had some misunderstanding yesterday, and was entrusted by Gonggong Zheng to come to explain to His Highness today, so as to eliminate the misunderstanding?" Wang Jinghong's voice was sharp, but it was unhurried, and it fell into the ears of others, and there was a faint feeling of extreme confidence.

Yang Zheng said "oh" and said, "Since that's the case, then the father-in-law will talk about it, right?"

Wang Jinghong answered, but did not speak immediately, but reached into his arms, took out a fold from his arms, saluted Yang Zheng, and said: "What the slave wants to say is written in the fold, please look at it?"

"My day, is it another twist?" Yang Zheng was afraid that this twist and turn would be like Chen Shan, smelly and long, and he couldn't help but be a little resistant, but at this time, the disgust in his heart did not show half a point, and nodded and said, "Present it?"

Chen Wu on the side responded, walked up and took the fold with both hands respectfully, then opened it carefully and put it in front of Yang Zheng's desk.

Yang Zheng frowned and began to read, I have to say that this is not much literate, and there are also the benefits of not being literate, Wang Jinghong's recital is much more concise than Chen Shan's, it is all spoken language, and after reading it carefully, it can be understood.

There is no mention of silver in the fold, but the scale of the construction of the Great Bao'en Temple is written a lot, there are thousands of words, including a lot of local colloquialisms, but Yang Zheng was a native of Jiangnan in his previous life, and he also knew a little about the words in Nanjing.

Yang Zheng read this recital twice, and the more he looked at it, the more he admired the shrewdness of the eunuch in front of him.

Although the fold did not mention the silver two things, but before and after but said that the Great Bao'en Temple was not easy to build over the years, the original Zhu Di Ministry of Engineering was rebuilt on the original site, "according to the Great Inner Tuwu, build a nine-level five-color glazed tower, said the first tower, the temple is called the Great Bao'en Temple." Because it is a temple to worship Zhu Di's biological mother, its specifications are not ordinary, according to Zhu Di's will, the construction of the entire Da Bao'en Temple, according to the words on the song, can be summarized into three uniques.

The first must: the huge structure is different, towering clouds. The glazed pagoda is one of the tallest buildings in ancient China. The tower is octagonal, with a total of nine floors, and the height is nearly 30 zhang. The top of the glazed pagoda is a jewel made of pure gold, weighing more than 2,000 taels, and the copper wind chimes are hung under the eaves corner of each floor, a total of 152 from top to bottom, even in the gentle breeze, the crisp ringing can be heard for several miles.

The second unique, the whole body of glass, unique ancient and modern. The main body of the glazed tower is brickwork, except that there is a "pipe core wood" at the top of the tower, and the whole building is "not an inch of wood". Its inner and outer surface layers are all made of various shapes and colors of glazed components. This unique decorative art has won the reputation of "China's great antique, Yongle's great kiln".

The shape, size, color and ornamentation of almost every glass component used in the glazed pagoda are different, so it is extremely difficult to make zuò and fire. This is an important reason why the glazed tower has been built for more than ten years.

The third is unique, the long night is deep, and the Buddha lamp is forever bright. Whenever twilight comes, one hundred and forty-four oil lamps as bright as torches are lit on the glazed pagoda and will not be extinguished all night. Whether it is the evening when the moon sets and the stars are sparse, or the stormy night, whether it is in the jungle at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain, or in the fishing boats on the river, people can see the lights on this tower that never go out.

After about a cup of tea, Yang Zheng coughed lightly twice, this piece of money did not mention a word, but it was talking about silver everywhere, or a lot of silver, in Yang Zheng's view, this twist and turn in his hand is quite a bit of the sword intent of the sword technique of seeking defeat, and there is a trick to win without a move.

In his previous life, he also had a good understanding of this great Bao'en Temple, which took 17 years to build, and the Forbidden City in Beijing, which was several times as large as it during the same period, took only three and a half years. The construction of Dabao'en Temple is so time-consuming, mainly because the construction of the glazed pagoda is extremely difficult, and it has to be postponed repeatedly. According to the estimation of later generations, the money and grain consumed in the construction of the glazed pagoda alone are equivalent to more than 2.48 million taels of silver. That is to say, the entire Da Bao'en Temple is actually piled up with silver, and it is impossible to estimate how much silver was used, and it is not surprising that only 500,000 taels of silver are missing.

Seeing the meaning of this compromise, Yang Zheng admired the eunuch in front of him more and more, and threw a look at him without moving, and the other party immediately understood, and his face, which had been slightly nervous, suddenly relaxed.

Yang Zheng smiled without moving, and quickly regained his calm just now.

Everyone's eyes were quietly looking at Yang Zheng at this time, and Chen Shan was looking more at the fold in his hand, just now he quietly raised his head and glanced at the prince, and saw that the prince showed a hint of joy on his face at that moment after reciting the fold, which made him faintly uneasy.

He was really a little curious, what Wang Jinghong said to Yang Zheng in the recital, which could make Yang Zheng still happy when he learned that the whereabouts of 500,000 silver taels were unknown.
