Zheng He and Wang Jinghong returned to their hearts like arrows, and the fleet docked at the seaport of Zhejiang, immediately disembarked, refused the hospitality of the local officials and gentry, and led the members of the fleet and the tributary envoys to Nanjing.

Along the way, the scenery and objects seen along the way still opened the eyes of the envoys of various countries who traveled with them.

The water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, Tianmo Lianqian, and lively towns are far different from the customs, soil, and people of their own countries, which make the envoys dizzy.

The exquisite silk and porcelain left a deep impression on the envoys.

When the convoy arrived in Nanjing, the tall city outline and the feeling of heaviness rushed towards it.

Wearing a scarlet jacket and pressing the waist knife with one hand, the majestic and majestic officers and soldiers stood in front of the city gate.

Convoys full of goods, pedestrians passing shoulders in the city, shops on the streets, and the smell of food.

The mere sight of it in front of the city gate made the envoys unable to move their feet or take their eyes off.

Only such a strong Ming Dynasty can build a miraculous sea ship.

The image of the Heavenly Empire, a powerful and majestic state, was finally completely imprinted in the minds of the envoys. Most of the thoughts when I came were dispelled. The envoy of the king of Java, who followed the fleet to deliver the gold, kept beating drums in his heart.

The Great Tomorrow designated 60,000 taels of gold, dug three feet into the ground on the island, and robbed a few large food merchant ships to make up 10,000 taels.

In case the son of Da Da is not satisfied, if he turns his face, he will cut off his head, and it will be cut for nothing! No wonder the people who have come to Daming before have shrunk their necks and will not be killed.

Not to mention how the envoy of the king of the west of Java was worried, how the envoy of the king of the east who was defeated by the king of the west gloated, and how the envoys of Guli, Ceylon and other countries were shocked by the prosperity of Nanjing, the arrival of the envoy team once again succeeded in attracting the onlookers of the residents of Nanjing.

More and more pedestrians gathered on the side of the road, and some merchants in the shops also dropped their door panels, and they looked lively on the roadside. The restaurants, restaurants and teahouses on the street are even more crowded, as if they are celebrating a festival.

The soldiers and horses of the five cities and the officials of the Shuntian Mansion rushed out, wielding swords and iron rulers to maintain order, in fact, they also wanted to join in the fun.

Although the team of envoys who come to the capital to pay tribute is endless throughout the year, such a big scene is rare.

Last time, it was the imperial court's fleet that went to the East, and this time, the number of carriages alone was twice as much. How many strange things there are, it is even more believable to the heart waiting on the side of the road.

Not long ago, the Siamese envoys entered Beijing, and the parrots who paid tribute shouted long live all the way, attracting many onlookers.

Will the Western envoys this time also carry such a rarity?

Onlookers, must watch!

The defenders of the city gate did not let them go immediately, but sent people to inform Shangguan and Honglu Temple.

Even though such a huge team is difficult to counterfeit, the city gate defenders still uphold the spirit of not being afraid of 10,000 but just in case, and carefully check the waist cards and related documents carried by Zheng He, Wang Jinghong and others.

After Honglu Siqing arrived, he recognized Zheng He at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Gonggong Zheng has worked hard all the way. ”

Zheng He is a eunuch, and he is also the ambassador of the Son of Heaven.

Identity is important, but it is more important than the emperor's order?

Zheng He returned the salute and asked Honglu Siqing, "Our family hasn't been in Beijing for two years, and this city gate seems to be much stricter?" ”

Honglu Temple said with a smile: "This matter is difficult to explain, after entering the city, the lower official will talk to his father-in-law in detail." ”

Zheng and Wang Jinghong did not return to the capital for two years, and they didn't know the changes at the city gate, but Honglu Siqing knew it very well.

Since the incident of "the small flag at the city gate was on duty to chant the Buddha, was reprimanded by Xingningbo, and the small flag committed suicide", there have been rumors in the capital. The emperor personally ordered the Jinyi guard to inspect the monks' temples, and found out the military households who had escaped from their posts in the temples in the capital, and the governor's mansion and the military department of the five armies were all taken aback.

The Son of Heaven ordered that the governor's mansion of the five armies, the soldiers and horses of the five cities, the government army, the eighteen guards of Yingtian and the twenty-six guards of the palace all began internal investigations.

This investigation really found a lot of problems.

As Xing Ningbo said, the capital is the façade of a country, and the city gate is the façade of the façade.

The Ming army guarding here was like chanting the small flag of the Buddha, dereliction of duty, slipping on duty, falling into the eyes of the people and the envoys who came and went to pay tribute, losing not a person's face, but the face of the entire Ming Dynasty.

When the Son of Heaven comes back to his senses, he will definitely flip the table.

At that time, as long as there is a little relationship, there will be no escape.

Demotion and exile became inevitable.

Although there are precedents for meritorious service and reinstatement of officials, or even promotion by one or two levels, how easy is it to emulate them?

Seeing the fate of Annan Li's family, other states will no longer be easy to be stupid. The Tatar Wara in the north did not stop, but the border troops of Ningxia in Gansu, Daning in Xuanfu, and the guards in Liaodong and the strong men attached to it were not vegetarians, and they were all fierce, and when they heard that the Tartars were coming, their eyes were bloodshot.

Fighting with such a fierce man is tantamount to grabbing food from the tiger's mouth, which is not an ordinary difficulty.

The Governor's Office of the Five Armies held an emergency meeting and agreed on countermeasures, which must be extinguished from the source to damage the face of the Ming Dynasty!

The guards assigned to the city gate must go through strict political-political-examination-military assessment, and the most important thing is that there must be no Buddhist scriptures in their hands!

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the work, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies took the initiative to seconded personnel from the Jinyi Guard.

Looking at the comrades who came to the door, the commander of the Jinyi Guard made Yang Duo stunned for the first time.

"Chen Tongzhi, are you sure?"

"Sure."

"Sure enough?"

"Sure enough."

The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies made up his mind to borrow someone, and Yang Duo was speechless.

Wasn't Jinyiwei rated as the least popular department in the Ming army system and the twenty-six guards of the Son of Heaven?

Now, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies has taken the initiative to invite people, is Cheng Guogong coming back from the south, his body has not fully recovered, or is he dreaming?

No matter what Yang Duo thought in his heart, he was still polite and sent away from the future, and immediately handed a note to the palace, and after receiving a positive answer, he personally named several capable Jinyi guards to cooperate with the work of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, including the commander of Jinyi Wei and Zhiji Gang.

As soon as Jin Yiwei made a move, he immediately knew if there was one.

As a result, the defenders of the capital began to change greatly, and the appearance of the guards at the city gate was even more new. Then he drove the twenty-six guards of the Son of Heaven, and at the suggestion of Xingningbo, he began to compete in the first car.

The audience of the competition is the three generations of royal ancestors and grandchildren and the nobles who were knighted by martial arts, and the chief referee of the game is naturally the Yongle Emperor.

On the day Zheng and Wang Jinghong arrived in the capital, they happened to catch up with the Yulin Wei competition.

After entering the city, the envoys of Fanbang were shocked by the prosperous city of Nanjing again, and they were also frightened enough by the surging crowd, and they were taken to the Huitong Hall to rest with fluttering steps.

Other people living in the Huitong Pavilion, such as the leader of the Uliangha, Qi Lecai, saw these envoys who "floated" into the gate, and compared their fingers with the Fuyu Wei who had just arrived yesterday, and the meaning was very clear, "See, a group of soil buns!" ”

An Chuyi grinned, called the tribal leader who came to defect to Uliangha, Naida'er, haha pestered, and said seriously: "Because you took the initiative to defect from the grassland, and you have a lot of strength, and your riding and archery skills are not bad, I brought you to the capital, recommended to the Son of Heaven, and asked for an official position." From now on, you are the hundred and thousands of households of the Ming Dynasty, and you must not be as useless as these soil buns! ”

"Yes!"

"That's what I said!"

"I'll keep it in mind!"

Naithar is a brain, and Haha is not a stupid person, otherwise he would not have resolutely abandoned everything on the steppe and defected to Uliangha when there was a change of power within the Tatars.

Seeing that both Beggar and An De showed a dark color of satisfaction, Nai'er lowered his voice and asked, "Excuse me, the matter of the bald king, should you report it to the Son of Heaven as soon as possible?" ”

"Yes." An De and Qi Lie should look at each other, nodded and said, "This matter naturally has to be reported, but the envoy sent to the grassland by the imperial court will be back in the next two days...... Naithar, did you see Ghost Lichi and Arutai turn their faces with your own eyes? ”

"Yes, I swear to the Immortal Heaven!"

"Well, I'll go and see Xingningbo tomorrow! There is Xing Ningbo who said a sentence in front of the Son of Heaven, which is more useful than others saying a hundred sentences. ”

"Hinningber?"

Naithar and Hahatang have lived in the grassland for a long time, and before they defected to Wuliangha, the only impression they had on the border of the Ming Dynasty was that the border army was getting stronger and stronger, and the grass was becoming more and more difficult to fight.

What makes the strong men of the grassland remember in their hearts is a fierce general like Xu Huizu and Shen Xuan, killing gods. Military generals who engage in "logistics work" like Meng and are busy developing economic development all day long cannot be taken seriously by strong men.

Unless, like Uliangha, following Meng's footsteps and following his suggestions, he has obtained great benefits and his living standards have been improved in a straight line.

Otherwise, it is like Naita and Haha, hearing the three words Xingningbo, racking his brains, he finally remembered, Daning guarded!

"Don't underestimate Xingningbo." Since the palace banquet, Beggar Gaimeng has been even more respected, and he is simply impressed, "Remember my words, let the uncle see your ability, and start to help, the whole family and even the entire tribe can benefit." ”

The beggar should have attended the palace banquet, and was also given wine and food by the emperor, which had long been passed back to Uliangha.

The leaders of the three guards are extremely envious of him, not everyone can be given wine by the Son of Heaven, even if they are high enough to participate in the palace banquet, it is rare to receive the same treatment.

Commander Tai Ningwei, who should be in charge, was even more sour, "With the favor of Immortal Heaven, I have such good luck!" ”

But Begger himself knew that he might have been favored by the Immortal Heaven, and more importantly, he had fallen into the eyes of Xingningbo.

Looking at An Chu, who was bubbling with sour water, and Naita'er, who was full of envy, haha, begging to open his mouth proudly, we just got the blue eyes of the uncle, envy, right? Jealous, right?

Hahahaha!

Not to mention the people in the hall, Zheng He and Wang Jinghong returned to the palace, and the first thing they did was to meet the Son of Heaven and report the harvest of this voyage in detail.

"Two fathers-in-law, Your Majesty is here in Wulou, not in Xinuan Pavilion."

"Wu Lou?"

"Exactly, today is the Yulin Wei competition, Your Majesty, the two Royal Highnesses, Xiao Shizi, Chengguo Gong and Xingningbo are all here."

The eunuch who led the way explained the situation in a few words as he walked.

"Father-in-law Hou specially instructed the little one, the two fathers-in-law arrived, and immediately reported to the people."

Hou Xian?

Zheng and Wang Jinghong glanced at each other, and they both pouted.

What does this old boy mean? When they go to sea for two years, can they crush them?

also pretends to be a good person on the surface, the turtle looks at the old turtle, who doesn't know who!

In front of the martial tower, the war drums were beating like a sound.

The fully armored Yulin Guards were divided into two teams, each with a two-colored cloth scarf on their arms, and fought in formation.

The horses neighed, Jin Ge handed over, and the sound of killing was bursting.

A young general rode on a horse, fighting against three generals without falling into the wind, the wooden spear head was broken, and the gun was used as a stick, sweeping over, the wind sounded suddenly, and the killing intent was awe-inspiring.

The three generals were swept off their horses one after another.

Zhu Di saw it and called Yang Duo, who was in charge of the security work in front of the fifth floor, "What is this person's surname, and what position does he have in the army?" ”

Yu Linwei's generals, but asked the commander of Jinyiwei.

If the commander of Yu Linwei who was fighting in the field found out, I don't know how he would feel.

Yang Duo looked at it fixedly, and quickly recognized the identity of the young general, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, this person's surname is Chen Mingji, and he is a thousand households in Yulin. His father was Chen Gong, the governor of the Later Army, and his grandfather was Chen Heng, the Duke of Xianjing. ”

"The grandson of the Duke of Jingguo?"

"Back to Your Majesty, exactly."

Zhu Di was silent for a moment, and then said angrily: "Jing Guogong has an old relationship with me, and during his tenure in Beiping, he once went out of the fortress from me to conquer the desert. I fought against the enemy, and even made many feats in battle, and was seriously injured in the battle...... I ordered his eldest son to be known to the governor, but not as well as his father. Now looking at his grandson, there is finally a successor. ”

Yang Duo didn't speak, and Zhu Di didn't need his answer, his gaze returned to the field.

The strips of cloth in Chen Ji's hand have increased to five, and his face is not tired, but like a tiger that has tasted the smell of blood, his momentum is even stronger.

"Good!"

Zhu Di is a good word, combined with the previous words, everyone present knows very well that after today, Chen Ji will not ascend to the sky in one step, and he will not be in the position of a thousand households for too long. At the very least, he will be promoted to the next level and promoted to be a commander. It is possible to be promoted to command, to be a commander, and even to command.

Meng stood beside Zhu Zhanqi, while protecting Zhu Zhanyan from being frightened by the sound of drums and shouts of killing, while answering his questions.

After all, he became the prince and a young guard, and Zhu Zhanyan's nominal teacher must always fulfill his responsibilities.

Zhu Di brought Zhu Zhanyu to Wulou, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui did not speak, and Meng naturally did not have a position to say anything.

However, he was still worried that Zhu Zhanyan would be frightened.

Let a three-headed body face the battlefield to fight, even if there is no blood, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not leave a psychological shadow.

Reality shocked Meng's jaw.

Zhu Zhanyan was not frightened, but looked with great interest, his eyes were wide open, his small fists were clenched, and his bun face was tight, but he was by no means afraid, but excited.

"Shaobao, that's what you call artillery?"

"Hui Shizi, exactly."

"Shaobao, firecracker! It's exactly the same as the firebolt you drew for me! ”

"Hui Shizi, exactly."

"Shaobao, it turns out that you have to squat in stride when archery?"

"Hui Shizi, this is for better strength."

"Shaobao, that thousand households are so powerful! Five, six! ”

"Back to the world, Dingguo Gong is even more powerful."

Zhu Zhanyan's eyes became rounder, "Uncle? What about the father? ”

Meng Gang realized that he had said it smoothly and wanted to make amends, and when he heard Zhu Zhanyan's words, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Hui Shizi, of course His Royal Highness the King of Han is powerful, the minister has seen His Royal Highness the King of Han on the battlefield, and he has the courage of ten thousand troops."

"Ahh Father is so powerful! ”

Zhu Zhanyan's mouth and eyes are round together, more like a New Year's doll.

"Ahem!"

Zhu Gaoxu bathed in his son's adoring gaze, his teeth no longer hurt, his legs no longer sore, and his waist stopped. With his hands behind his back, the corners of his mouth turned upwards vigorously.

Zhu Gaosui couldn't stand it anymore, and said sourly, "Brother Huang, congratulations!" ”

"Ahem!" Zhu Gaoxu coughed again, "Thank you." ”

Zhu Gaosui pouted, was adored by his son? Xingningbo is just "polite", is it serious?

Wait for the Dingguo Gong class to return to the court, try it, and see if you can still laugh!

When the princess also gave birth to a son to him, he still had a son to worship!

Zhu Gaoxu was proud, and another sentence came from his side, "Gaoxu, it's good." ”

Turning his head, Daddy stared at him with a smile.

At this moment, His Royal Highness the King of Han couldn't laugh.

hurriedly corrected his son's concept, "Zhan Yan, my father's ability is nothing, not as good as your imperial grandfather!" ”

"Grandfather Huang is so powerful!"

The object of worship of the simple Zhu Zhan Yan children was immediately replaced.

The feeling of being on his back disappeared in an instant, and Zhu Gaoxu wiped a cold sweat and let out a sigh.

Meng Mo turned his head and resolutely refused to admit that the pit that King Han stepped into was dug by himself.

If you don't do it unintentionally and don't admit it, it should be okay...... Right?

Zhu Di was in a good mood, hugged Zhu Zhanyan in front of everyone, and personally instructed him to arrange troops and fight in the field.

A eunuch approached Hou Xian's side and whispered a few words.

Hou Xian waved his hand to let him step back, took two steps forward, and reported the news of Zheng and Wang Jinghong's return to the palace to Zhu Di.

"I see." Zhu Di said, "You don't have to go back to Xinuan Pavilion, let them come and talk back." ”

"Yes."

Hou Xian received the order and went to deliver the word in person.

Walking out of the porch and seeing Zheng He and the two of them, who were a lot blackened by the sea breeze, Hou Xian smiled with his hands, "Gonggong Zheng, Gonggong Wang, come with our family." ”

Zheng He and Wang Jinghong suddenly held their breath, but the smile on their faces was extremely kind, "I'm tired of Father-in-law Hou." ”

The eyes of the three collided in mid-air, and sparks flew in an instant.
