Wang Wenle was born in the thirty-second year of Hongwu (the first year of Jianwen, 1399), his father Wang Futian Xiucai, his mother Wang, all of whom were from Wangjia Village, Jimo County, the capital of Lai Prefecture, Shandong Province, were enlightened by his father since childhood, Yongle two years (1404) Zhang Sanfeng Zhenren came to accept Wang Wenle as a waiter, born in Laoshan Quanzhen Sect, the real person once said that this son is very human, the previous life was the prince, because of the father received and died early, but in this life when he was young, there is still a catastrophe in the world, so that he was born here to practice for nine years to resolve the catastrophe, He will bless the people in the future, and when he is completed, he will go down the mountain to Nanjing to join the WTO, and after the real person left, he has been working as a partner in the kitchen, and he usually meditates and cultivates not out of the deep mountains. In the eighth year of Yongle (1410), the plague affected by Dengzhou Mansion, no one in Wangjia Village was spared from the disease and died of illness in the whole village, and his parents and relatives were among them. In the eleventh year of Yongle (1413), after leaving Laoshan to worship his parents and relatives, he went to Nanjing, which coincided with the fact that Zheng He, the chief military officer of the Qincha, was about to go to the Nanyang countries for the fourth time to recruit people, so he was conscripted as the leader of the ship until now. This person is silent and unsmiling, but he is good at cooking, and he praises his deliciousness at the entrance, and the chef listens to his treasure ship with him. ”

After reading this secret report, Zhu Di said with a smile: "I didn't expect this son to be really blessed, and he actually had a fate with Zhang Xianshi, so he turned evil into good fortune and became auspicious in trouble." ”

With this secret report in his hand, Zhu Di fell into deep thought: "My fourth son, Gao Yao, died early, and the young master Yao Guangxiao once advised me to mourn, saying that this is the way of heaven; The eldest brother Zhu Biao died, and his father named Zhu Yunwen as the emperor's grandson, and the young master said that this is also the way of heaven; Zhu Yunwen began to cut the feudal domain and kill his uncle, but the young master still said that this was the way of heaven; At that time, my five brothers had been imprisoned, exiled, and committed suicide by my eldest nephew (Zhu Yunwen), who was pure and filial. Then the sixth one was my turn, I was forced to have no way out, and in order to survive the death, I launched the "Fengtian Jingjing", which the young master also called the way of heaven; During the Battle of Jingjing, no matter how difficult and dangerous it was, the young master unswervingly told me every time that it was the way of heaven to hold on, until I ascended the throne and became the emperor's young master, and I only received a false title and continued to practice in Qingshou Temple, because helping me to ascend the throne is contrary to orthodoxy, which is a rebellion and usurpation, resulting in relatives not being able to see each other. Today, I have only woken up, if there are no these antecedents, how can I be today, the young master firmly believes that this is the way of heaven that cannot be violated, and the good brothers who were born and died with me don't think so, if they don't believe that I can one day ascend the throne and become the emperor, how can they tie their lives to me, it is that I care too much about this orthodox statement. The sky does not drop out of winter because of the evil cold of man, the earth does not drop out of the far and wide for the evil of man, and the gentleman does not drop out for the villain Hun and Hun Hun and Hun Hu Today, I am like an initiation, the mouth is suddenly opened, this heavenly way is in me, why be afraid! ”

Thinking of this, Zhu Di felt more comfortable than he had ever been, and Zhu Di said happily: "Saihazhi, select smart and capable people, and strengthen the intelligence collection of the political envoys and Songmen guards of Jiaozhi Chengxuan on the premise of not startling the snake, if it is successful, I will not hesitate to reward, if it does not work, I will not blame, if it is bad, I will judge and apologize, and all news from these two places will be reported first, and there shall be no delay." In addition, the same is true for overseas news, until Wang Wenle is escorted back to Beijing, everything related to Wang Wenle is strictly confidential, and his archives are handed over to Wang Zhong for safekeeping. I'm fine, you step aside. ”

Saihazhi saluted and said: "Wechen respectfully obeys the holy oracle and will live up to the holy hope, and Wechen will retire." ”

Zhu Di lowered his head and looked at this secret music again: "I have repeatedly searched for Zhang Xianren, but I only got a letter, and after Gao Yi was reincarnated, he got a transformation. Gao Yi died on behalf of me, Zhu Yunwen's act of killing his uncle made Gao Yi reincarnate, this is the way of heaven, the young master is honest and does not deceive me, but the young master is about to leave me not far away, I am really confused, painful. Thinking of this, Zhu Di's eyes began to moisten......

After Zhu Di calmed down, he said to Wang Zhong: "Xuanxia Yuanji will come to see you, and then send someone to the Tai Hospital to inquire about the young master Yao Guangxiao Kangtai." ”

Then Zhu Di took a sip of tea and continued to look at this secret recital: "How will I settle Gao after he returns to Beijing?" This matter is too unbelievable to be kept secret, and only the three people who know about it are the young master, Zheng He, and Wang Zhong, but I am not worried about leaking the secret, but it will take a lot of effort to find a good place for him without attracting attention......"

At this time, Xia Yuanji arrived, and after the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, Zhu Di said: "Xia Yuanji, the New Year is about to close, and the household department will deposit about 100,000 people's salary and grain and grass for more than half a year in advance to deal with the emergencies of the coming year. ”

"Minister, thank the emperor for his care, the emperor is eloquent, Wenzhi martial arts, since the enthronement has been 13 years since the Yongle prosperous era, I am rich and strong in the Ming Dynasty, the Quartet is a guest suit, and the width of the fall is far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties. It's time for the emperor to rest with the people, the household has a lot of silver but also a lot of money, the old minister is worried about the silver every day, the household has never been rich, if the emperor is sympathetic to the old minister, this time Zheng He will stop sailing. Xia Yuanji got up and saluted after speaking.

Zhu Di pondered for a while and said to Wang Zhong: "You serve tea here, and everyone else should retreat." ”

After Wang Zhong made arrangements, Zhu Di said, "Xia Yuanji, I will talk to you a few words from my heart today." I know your difficulties, but this voyage can't be stopped, this silver still has to be spent, you Xia Yuanji has made great contributions to the prosperous world of Yongle, and I don't have any silver to do these big things. It was right to live with the people, but every time Zheng He came back to show me a new chart after he went to sea, the more uneasy I felt in my heart. How big is this world? Is there a country and fleet as strong as the Ming Dynasty on the other side of the sea? If Da Ming didn't have a sailor, what if they were like Zheng He leading a fleet from the sea? So when Zheng He came to the edge of the sky and let me know the general trend of the world, if I have no opponent in the Ming Dynasty, I will rest with the people as you wish, if otherwise, you will continue to find money for me, and I will let Zheng He go as far as I can in my lifetime. I am the emperor immediately, and I can't compare with the ministers in terms of reading, and I can gain the experience and wisdom of my predecessors from the sage books, but what Zheng He did was exactly what the sage books did not have. This unknown ocean cannot give us an accurate description of the well-read, which requires us to explore and discover. I work harder and do more because I want to leave more comfort for my children and grandchildren. Therefore, it is also hard for the ministers to follow me, and I understand in my heart that it is not easy to be an official of the Yongle Dynasty! ”

Zhu Di took a sip of tea, motioned for Xia Yuanji to drink tea too, and then continued: "Born in sorrow, died in peace. In addition to the known Mobei, I just want to know if there is an unknown danger from an unknown place in addition to the harassment of the Japanese on the sea, if there is, I can also know myself and know that I can take precautions as soon as possible, and I don't want to leave it to my children and grandchildren to do it. This desert north is the great trouble of the Ming Dynasty, if I can't sweep it away, who can after me? I know what the emperor in your hearts is like, Zhu Yunwen, Gao Chi and Zhan Ji are the kings of Shoucheng that you are satisfied with, can they do it? Therefore, I built the Great Wall while marching north, and in the future, the northern captives will make a comeback, and even if the descendants are incompetent, they can rely on the strength of the Great Wall to guard the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty. Can this money be saved? Look at the sea of my Ming Dynasty, there are more than 1,000 pirates and 100 pirates, and 100 people have been harassing my coastal area for decades, and I have deployed hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to guard the coastal line alone, and the ridiculous thing is that the attacks are still endless, more than 100 people will dare to rob the land under your 100 households, and more than 1,000 people will dare to attack the land under your 1000 households. Since Zheng He's envoy to Dongyang captured more than 20 leaders of the pirates and sent to Nanyang to capture alive the leader of the great pirates, Chen Zuyi, this powerful Japanese pirate and pirate has disappeared. However, the people along the coast of the Ming Dynasty are still harassed by the attacks of this small pirate and pirate, and cannot live and work in peace and contentment, so I still want to pacify the pirates and pirates, and when the four seas are cleared, more than half of the guards can be removed. Xia Yuanji, this money is not only for the sake of opening the current peaceful and prosperous world, but also for future generations! ”

Then Zhu Di took another sip of tea and continued: "It's ridiculous that some people actually said that I sent Zheng He to the sea to find Zhu Yunwen. When I started the army, there were only 800 generals and 50,000 soldiers, if it weren't for the way of heaven in me, this would be tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. It's fashionable and fearless, let alone today. What I want is to eliminate all the external troubles of my Ming Dynasty, since the defeat of Qiu Fu's army, this northern expedition I will no longer pretend to others, the north is uneven, the north is difficult to peace, this is the trouble of my Ming henchmen; There is Zheng He on this sea, and the pirates and pirates will never be able to become powerful, so it is only the disease of scabies of my Ming Dynasty, but if the navigation is stopped, as the young master Yao Guangxiao said, one day the Japanese and pirates will become tens of thousands, and my Ming Dynasty will passively defend in the coastal areas, and the increase in troops will still be not satisfied with one million, and this food and salary alone will drag down my Ming Dynasty, and the harm is especially worse than that of Mobei, not to mention that there may be an unknown danger from the unknown sea. Therefore, only the north of the desert and the sea can open the peace of eternity, so that the people of my Ming Dynasty can enjoy the peace and prosperity forever, and only in this way can my Ming Dynasty survive forever. Xia Yuanji, I sympathize with you, but not only can I not stop sailing, but I will continue to conquer Mobei. Tang Taizong said, taking the ancient as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall. The reason why the country fell in all dynasties was not internal and external troubles, but only the length of time. When Liao was strong, Jin was weak, and Liao regarded Jin as a disease of scabies, but Liao was eventually destroyed by Jin. When Jin was strong, Mongolia was weak, and Jin made the same mistake as Liao, so Jin was destroyed by the Mongols. The Northern Song Dynasty united with Jin to destroy Liao, and then was destroyed by Jin. The Southern Song Dynasty Lianmeng destroyed Jin, and then was destroyed by Mongolia. The Jin people don't read history, so don't the Song people read history either? Now the views of the ministers of the court and the central government on Mobei are also the disease of scabies, what do you think of Xia Yuanji? ”
