When the first rays of sunlight rose on the horizon, Nanjing City ushered in another lively day, and the people were still busy with their three meals. The emperor www.biquge.info sent a large army to attack Ryukyu Island and was defeated, which seemed to have no effect on them at all. As an ordinary person, what they care about is whether their pockets are bulging.

As for those things that are fighting and killing, as long as they don't affect them, they will always not pay too much attention to it. At most, when I am free, biting my tongue with my neighbors is just a pastime.

Whether the people care about Zhu Di or not doesn't know, he only knows that the last navy of the Ming Dynasty on the sea has become a legend. The army, which was more than twenty times larger than Tang Ming, was so defeated that there was not even a single ship to come back. As the emperor, naturally there can be no mistakes, and someone must carry this black cauldron.

And the objects of the black cauldron naturally fell on the three families of Sun, Fu, and Lin, and whoever called this fleet was led by the children of the three of them to fight. And it was defeated so badly when it was more than 20 times the enemy's strength.

The heads of the three families are all local prefects, county lords, and at this moment, the three of them knelt in the imperial study, trembling slightly, waiting for Zhu Di, who was full of murderous face, to announce the verdict.

Before sending troops, Zhu Di was confident that he would take Tang Ming's Ryukyu Island in one fell swoop, and in his thoughts, the most he could do was to lose some more ships or manpower. But the result was unacceptable to him, the entire Ming Invincible Armada, which had more than 1,000 ships, was never returned, and was directly destroyed by Tang Ming.

Zhu Di naturally couldn't accept such an unexpected ending, and after venting his temper, he ordered someone to bring the three patriarchs over.

Zhu Di was silent for a long time, and after taking a deep breath, he opened his eyes and said coldly: "Such a shameful defeat, you three old guys have something to say!" ”

Quiet, only Zhu Di's voice was still echoing in the imperial study, and the three family heads were still lying on the ground and didn't dare to take a breath, and their trembling bodies evolved into verbose. The three of them all knew in their hearts that they would not escape death this time, but judging from Zhu Di's anger, it seemed that it was far more than that.

They are now worried that the entire family will be implicated because of those three rice buckets, and if they are exterminated because of this incident, then they will not be blind to death.

After a long time, he still couldn't hear any answer, Zhu Di snorted coldly again: "Don't speak, right, or do you think it's not your fault?" ”

The head of the Lin family secretly stabbed the head of the Sun family who was lying in the middle with his hand, the latter looked at him in a slight stunned manner, and the head of the Lin family pointed his finger at the angry Zhu Di and signaled his response. After all, the three of them are the prefect of Suzhou and have the highest status, and the other two are just county masters, and they are also eight or nine sesame officials, which is not enough to reply.

The head of the Sun family is obviously very reluctant to act as a leading bird at this time, but if the three of them don't reply again, it is estimated that they will immediately anger the emperor. After hesitating for a moment, the head of the Sun family had no choice but to reply helplessly: "Your Majesty, the three of us all know that our sins are unforgivable, but please ask the emperor to give us a chance to make up for our mistakes!" ”

"A chance to make amends...... Hum...... Very good, very good. Then I will give you this opportunity now, and limit the three of you to return the same fleet within half a year, and if you can't do it, you will destroy your family. Zhu Di actually wanted to destroy them now, but it was not appropriate to make a big move before Tang Ming made a move.

Besides, he understands now that the reason for this defeat is likely to be that his unfilial son has a great relationship with the departure of Yao Guangxiao and Zheng He. In the past few days, he has been looking for the whereabouts of the three people, and now it seems that they have all gone to Tang Ming's Ryukyu Island, and he must not be wrong.

Da Ming is completely empty on the sea at this moment, and since the second son was bloodbathed in the treasure shipyard, there is no way to even make treasure ships there. The construction of warships is not as fast as when Zheng He was in the past, and the speed is less than one-third. It can be said that the entire treasure shipyard was abolished by Zhu Gaoxi, for this reason, Zhu Di also lost his temper once, and confined Zhu Gaoxi in the palace, and the treasure shipyard also returned to his own hands.

It's a pity that those experienced old shipwrights were killed by Zhu Gaoxi, and those who didn't kill also fled from Daming to join Tang Ming, and now it is difficult for Zhu Di to find someone who can build treasure ships.

The three heads of the family had dead gray faces, and in the face of Zhu Di's request, they knew that they couldn't do it at all. But there is at least a glimmer of hope, and now even if the three families are emptied of their financial resources, they will have to build a ship. It's a pity that they don't know that even if they have money, they have to find someone who can build ships.

Knocking the three heads out of the imperial study, Zhu Di rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, and in two months it will be the ceremony of moving the capital, and most of the projects in Beiping have been completed now. Envoys from various countries also came one after another, but such an inopportune thing happened at this juncture.

Once these things spread, these envoys would be deeply disappointed in the Ming Dynasty, and his reputation as a wise monarch would be greatly affected by this.

As soon as he was troubled, the more Zhu Di felt that all of this was because of Tang Ming. At this moment, his hatred for Tang Ming was far greater than his previous hatred for Jianwen, and he would never let Tang Ming spend the rest of his life like this.

"Someone! Go and call the second prince to me. Zhu Di suddenly yelled outside the room.

It wasn't the eunuch outside who hurriedly responded, and trotted to inform Zhu Gaoxi.

Zhu Gaoxi, who was grounded again, was losing his temper in his mansion at the moment, seeing that Zhu Gaochi had been forced away, and what made him happy was that Zheng He and Yao Guangxiao also slipped away together. Now his crown prince throne is also a certainty, and he can't run. But who would have thought that all of a sudden, the emperor would be furious with him because of the matter at the Treasure Shipyard, and even ordered him to be grounded again.

Zhu Gaoxi, who was angry, was smashing things in the mansion, and the crackling sound made the people of the entire prince's mansion shudder, and whenever something was broken, they would tremble unconsciously.

"Second prince, the emperor has an order, announce that you should hurry to the imperial study to reply." The voice of the eunuch who passed the word suddenly quieted the prince's mansion.

The door of Zhu Gaoxi's room suddenly opened, and his disheveled hair was not taken care of, and through the crack in the door, he could see that the room was full of fragments of some vases. The tables and chairs were all overturned to the ground, and the whole room was messy as if it had just experienced a twelve-level typhoon!

Zhu Gaoxi obviously didn't hear clearly just now, so after the door opened, he looked at the eunuch who was talking a few times, and found that it was the eunuch who was next to the emperor, so he reluctantly pulled out a smiling face and said, "Father-in-law just said that my father wants to see this prince?"
