Zhou Xing, in his previous life, he was also a "well-read person", but in this life, the original owner who crossed the possession was a muddy guy, and everything would be fine if he promised not to starve to death every day, and he couldn't even remember where his home was. The Zhou Xing who crossed over is also a person who has never read a book or touched a pen.

Relying on the little inventory in his head, Zhou Xing got rid of the work that almost made him die suddenly in minutes, which attracted the attention of the future Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, and was summoned by Zhu Di. It's only a few days in total, and reading books or something, that's not there at all.

However, if you have not read a book, but you can make "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment", it is not right and abnormal. So Zhou Xing must not say that he has not read.

"Back to the eldest young master, I haven't been to school, but I know a fellow villager who is reading, and he is very good and willing to lend me books. If you read too much, you won't have to say a few words. ”

As a cheeky modern person, when it comes to lies, it's really done in one go, without stuck, my brother's name is Shunyu.

"I see." Zhu Gaochi didn't think much about it, and was about to communicate a few more words with Zhou Xing, but there was a young man in his twenties outside who said a few words to Zhu Gaochi's attendant, and then Zhu Gaochi's attendant came in and said to Zhu Gaochi again. After Zhu Gaochi heard this, he said to Zhou Xing: "Zhou Xing, the three treasures outside called you." ”

Sambo? Zhou Xing frowned slightly, he had only heard of the Eight Treasures Porridge, where are the Three Treasures? There are three treasures in winter, autumn clothes and pants and a big leather jacket?

When the group went out, the three treasures bowed to Zhu Gaochi and said, "I've seen the eldest young master." ”

His voice is very special, as if it is not fully developed, in the stage of voice change, between magnetic and non-magnetic, but it seems to be choked by something, which makes people listen a little weird.

Many eunuchs in costume dramas have this voice. Zhou Xing couldn't help but glance at this three treasures, this young man is a eunuch? Eunuchs generally appear in the palace, which is a special person for the inner court, and it is still rare to appear in the prince's mansion, unless it is assigned by the palace, otherwise the eunuch will be killed if he places it himself.

Eunuchs have been known since ancient times and are called palace slaves. "Eunuch as a slave", broadly speaking, is an extremely cruel and barbaric system that originated in the late slave society.

Originally, these people may have been called "palace slaves". But later, there were gradually other names, and with the changes of the times and dynasties, the names changed and derived - palace people, temple people, temple palaces, palace ministers, eunuchs, eunuchs, eunuchs, eunuchs, eunuchs, eunuchs......, eunuchs, eunuchs, eunuchs, eunuchs, The list goes on and on, but before the Ming Dynasty, there should be no such thing as a "eunuch".

In the feudal system, there was the Guozijian Agency, or Taixue. The most heard of the Guozi priest wine is the official in charge of Taixue, if you count, it should be the Minister of Education and the like. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there were generals and young eunuchs. Since Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, this kind of official position with "eunuch" began to appear in a large number of eunuchs, and over time, it was inherited to the Qing Dynasty, and they were all called eunuchs. In fact, this is not right, the eunuch is a serious official position, and the eunuchs and palace slaves are all "functional" talents.

Three treasures, eunuchs, eunuchs, three treasure eunuchs? Zheng He?

I'm going to go.

Connecting these keywords, Zhou Xing almost jumped up. The inconspicuous-looking little eunuch in front of him is Zheng He?

The famous navigator Zheng He! The reason why Zhu Di was able to stand out among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the Battle of Jingyan, the biggest reason was that Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures, the feat of seven trips to the West, recorded in the history books, every time I read it, it still makes people's hearts surge.

Zheng He was captured by the Ming army when he attacked Yunnan in the thirteenth year of Hongwu, and was tortured by the palace, and in the fifteenth year of Hongwu, he was selected to be trained in the palace Shangyi Bureau for two years; In the seventeenth year of Hongwu, at the age of fourteen, he was assigned by the palace to enter Zhu Di's Yanwang Mansion to serve as a servant, and it has been seven years since then.

Seeing Zheng He himself, Zhou Xing couldn't help but bow deeply, and said, "I have admired the name for a long time." ”

Zheng He's common surname is Ma, and his surname is Zheng, with three small characters.

Zheng He felt a little strange, at this time he was just a small squire, his military talent would not be brought into play until the Battle of Jingjing, and the voyage was even more after seven years, where did he come from to admire the name for a long time?

It seems that this long-admired daimyo is just a polite remark, he thought.

Zheng He didn't dare to slack off on Zhou Xing, after all, although the person in front of him, although he looked the same age as himself and his appearance was not outstanding, it was King Yan who personally specified that he was invited over and arranged for him to live in Yayuan, which must be extraordinary. Although this "long-admired name" is impossible to mention, but this Zheng He can only admit it, at that time, Zhou Xing saluted back to his own promotion, and said: "Zhou Gongzi, King Yan has a call." ”

Before, Zhou Xing was still thinking about what role this Zhu Di wanted to arrange himself into, but he didn't expect that now he has been waiting for a few days in vain - it is not in vain, at least Zhou Xing feels that his calligraphy has made great progress, at least it can be understood. However, compared with Zhu Gaochi's calligraphy, it is still far behind. Now, after a few days, he finally arrived.

"Since King Yan has a call, then ask my father-in-law to lead the way." Zhou Xing said.

Although Zhu Gaochi still had something to say, but now that Zhu Di was looking for Zhou Xing, he naturally didn't dare to keep Zhou Xing, so he said: "Zhou Xing, when you come back, I'll come back." ”

The Yanwang Mansion was ridiculously large, and Zhou Xing followed Zheng He to turn left and right, and walked for a long time before he came to the door of a large hall.

This big hall, only one floor, but as high as more than ten zhang, flying eaves and arches, carving dragons and painting phoenixes, showing the skills of skilled craftsmen. The foundation was made of large strips of stone, seven or eight feet above the ground, with eight steps. Standing in front of this hall, looking up, you can just see the lacquer dome in the hall, beautiful and solemn, as for the furnishings inside, you can only see it when you walk into the hall.

"Standing here, there is no way to see the people in the hall, the purpose is naturally to remain mysterious, this angle, the design is really accurate. All I could see was beautiful murals. And once you go up the steps, it must be the people in the main hall, and the first to notice the visitors is simply wonderful. ”

Zhou Xing thought.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, Zhou Xing has already brought." Zheng He stood at the bottom of the first step and said loudly. This is Zhu Di's study, and no one will ever step on this step without permission.

Zhu Di's voice came from inside: "Come in." ”

His voice was not high, but because of the special structure of this hall, his voice was reflected layer by layer, and when it finally converged into Zhou Xing's ears, it was still very clear and had a unique rhythm.

In the place of the last dynasty, and in the Forbidden City built by Zhu Di later, the echo wall in the Temple of Heaven also has such a unique design. In the last dynasty, the emperor did not have to speak hard, and the civil and military officials could hear it clearly.

Zhou Xing had to admire the super high skills of these skilled craftsmen in ancient times.

Zheng He made a gesture of invitation to Zhou Xing and said, "Zhou Gongzi, please." ”

Zhou Xing took a deep breath, smiled at Zheng He, and said, "It's hard work." ”

Subsequently, Zhou Xing tried to calm down his mood and stepped onto the steps.

Zhu Di's study is very large, more than five zhang long, and two zhang deep. Although it is large, it is not empty, with famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, and bookshelves filled with subsets of scriptures and histories. Screens, tables and chairs, the four treasures of the study, are well organized.

Dozens of candles illuminate the entire study. Zhou Xing saw Yao Guangxiao's big bald head at a glance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This guy is really Zhu Di's follower, no matter where he goes, Zhu Di can always see Yao Guangxiao's figure.

"Grass people Zhou Xing, see King Yan." Zhou Xingzuo said.

Feudal etiquette should be to kneel, but Zhou Xing felt that he could let himself die, but he must not kneel.

Fortunately, Zhu Di didn't seem to care about this, he said: "You came just in time, I have something to tell you." ”

"Zhou Xing, what you told me before, but you cut the domain?" In the next sentence, Zhu Di's words were amazing.

Previously, in order to attract Zhu Di's attention, Zhou Xing used his hand on his long banner to make a movement of peeling sugarcane skin, which was a homonym, which was to cut the domain.

Zhou Xing has been thinking about how to deal with Zhu Di, and now as soon as Zhu Di speaks, he is asking about cutting the domain, and Zhou Xing has already done his homework on this topic.

"Yes." There are no outsiders here, Zhou Xing doesn't have to hide it, since he decided to get on Zhu Di's thief ship, he naturally knows everything in order to win Zhu Di's trust.

A very interested expression appeared on Zhu Di's face, and said, "Tell me, why do you think that your father will cut the domain?" ”

In fact, cutting the feudal domain was a policy implemented after Zhu Yuanzhang's death and Zhu Yunwen succeeded to the throne under the instigation of Huang Zicheng.

But can Zhou Xing tell Zhu Di about this? Of course not.,Predict the future or something.,That minute is the fate of being slashed and killed as a monster.。

Well, the reason is that you know too much.

Zhou Xing said eloquently: "In the thirteenth year of Hongwu, the emperor punished the prime minister Hu Weiyong for the crime of misdeeds, and killed several people such as Chen Ning, Zhongcheng Tujie and so on. In the twenty-third year of Hongwu, the emperor promulgated the "Record of the Traitorous Party", and executed the descendants of the Korean Duke Li Shanchang, the liehou Lu Zhongheng, and the late Teng Guogong Gu Shi for the crime of conspiring with Hu Weiyong. Later, Hu Weiyong was used to communicate with the widow and Tongyuan, and investigated his henchmen, and killed more than 30,000 people before and after. I am the founder of the Ming Dynasty, and almost all of them have been implicated. ”

This is already a historical fact, people who pay attention to major events in the world basically know it, it is not a secret, Zhou Xing knows, it is also very normal.

"Yes, and then?" Zhu Di's eyes lit up, and he felt that Zhou Xing could say this, indicating that he was paying attention to the affairs of the court all the time.

Zhou Xing said: "Then I don't dare to say it, unless His Royal Highness King Yan forgives me for my innocence." ”

Zhu Di is listening to it, where will he blame? He said, "Forgive your innocence, speak quickly." ”

"His Royal Highness King Yan, may I ask how many generals in the entire court who can recruit good soldiers in the entire court?"
