Chapter 186: Worry
Zhu Gaochi's ignorance must have been self-inflicted, and in the face of the advice of the most authoritative navigator of this era, he was not in the same place. Zheng He saw that he didn't listen to persuasion, so he didn't say much, the fleet would soon reach the open sea, and whether Zhu Gaochi and the others would vomit upside down, he just waited and seeed.
The sun is high, the blue sky and the sea are beautiful, and the vast sea level is always comforting. The sea is no stranger to Zhu Gaochi, he has been used to watching the sea by the sea since he was a child, but this is the first time he has seen the sea on the boat.
Zhu Gaochi, who was interested in the slope, couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, and went to the deck of the bow of the ship with the help of Ji Gang, smelling the salty sea breeze and wandering around.
The wind and waves on the sea are not small, but fortunately, the huge treasure ship ensures his stability, and the shaking of the hull is not so obvious when riding the wind and waves. But Zhu Gaochi already felt that he was a little uncomfortable, and only relieved himself after letting Ji Gang help him find a place to sit down.
However, his stomach has begun to churn, and his face has gradually turned pale, and it is a miracle that Zhu Gaochi, who took the boat for the first time, can only survive until now before he has a seasickness reaction. Ji Gang also saw the change in his expression, and wanted to help him into the room, but Zhu Gaochi couldn't hold back in the end, and all the things he had just eaten in his stomach and hadn't had time to digest gushed out.
An unpleasant smell instantly permeated the deck, spitting out something from his stomach, Zhu Gaochi just felt a little more comfortable, but before a while, his stomach began to churn again. Moreover, the fleet has really entered the open sea, and the ships sailing at full speed collide with huge wind and waves, and begin to shake violently.
Zhu Gaochi, who felt dizzy more and more, began to vomit out again, until all the things in his stomach were vomited, and he said to Ji Gang, who had a wry smile on his face, half-dead: "This prince is no longer on the boat, let Inspector Zheng dock the boat and take the land route!" ”
Zheng He heard Zhu Gaochi's howl in the cabin, shook his head with a smile and came to his side and hugged his fists and said: "The eldest prince doesn't know, it is the emperor's intention to take the sea route, and this can't be changed." In fact, don't panic, the eldest prince is like this for the first time on the boat, just wait for two days to get used to it. ”
It was actually the emperor's intention, and Zhu Gaochi could only admit it, but the pain in his stomach made him feel that life was worse than death. With the support of Zheng He and Ji Gang, he slowly returned to the cabin, and soon fainted and fell asleep.
The five-day voyage also tortured Zhu Gaochi for five days, and he miraculously lost weight. In these five days, he ate almost only a little liquid food, and from drooling at the sight of food to his current disgust with food, only in these five short days.
The moment he stepped on land, Zhu Gaochi felt that he was no longer fluttering, and as soon as he got into the carriage, he fell asleep peacefully. In the evening, the team finally arrived at the gate of Nanjing's northern city.
He had already received the news of the arrival of the eldest prince, Tang Ming had been waiting at the north gate since the afternoon, and after meeting with the eldest prince, he immediately rushed to the Zheng Mansion with them. The eldest prince has not woken up yet, so he naturally can't enter the palace in such a state, so he has to rest in the Zheng Mansion for one night, and wait until tomorrow to enter the palace to see the queen and the emperor.
In the Dongchang Admiral's Mansion, the second prince stared at Li Xing opposite with a blue face, he had learned about Zhu Gaochi's coming to Beijing to live in Zheng's mansion, and immediately rushed to find Li Xing.
Tang Ming's arrival completely disrupted the original plan of the two of them, and the favorable situation of the second prince also fell to the bottom all of a sudden. Tang Ming even came up with a test paper, saying that he wanted to rely on this to choose the prince, and the most hateful thing was that the emperor actually agreed.
Faced with such a one-sided situation, Zhu Gaoxi had to be nervous, and he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so he could only come to Li Xing in a hurry to negotiate.
"Father-in-law Li, this Tang Ming is really hateful, he finally got this guy overseas, but he came back suddenly, and he just came back, and he always couldn't get along with us." Zhu Gaoxi showed an evil face, and put his hand in the shape of a knife on his neck.
"Why don't we kill him secretly."
Li Xing glared at the second prince, the deeper he had been in contact with him recently, the more Li Xing looked down on this impulsive guy. Every time I encounter something, I only know how to kill and kill, and I don't know how to use my brain more. Sometimes he regrets that he formed an alliance with Zhu Gaoxi at the beginning, this kind of guy who has more than enough success and more than failure, he will be dragged into the water by him if he is not careful.
Although there is a lot of dissatisfaction with Zhu Gaoxi in his heart, but the identity of the family is there, Li Xing did not dare to be too presumptuous, so he had to suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart, shook his head and said: "The second prince is not in a hurry, although the eldest prince has come to Nanjing, but this is your and my territory, and there are many eyeliners in the dark. ”
"Besides, things haven't reached the point of necessity yet, don't mess up and brand any tricks in their hands."
The eldest prince came to Nanjing, which is a good thing in Li Xing's eyes, he has always been unloved by the emperor, and he knows better than anyone else. This time I came to Nanjing and lived in the palace with the emperor every day, looking up and not looking down, and the emperor would definitely become more and more annoyed as the days went by.
Although the temper of the second prince is a little worse, his performance on the battlefield is still very popular with the emperor, especially saving his life, with these two points, Li Xing is sure that the second prince will not necessarily lose.
"But this kid always does things unexpectedly, and keeping him in front of his mother and father is always a variable." Zhu Gaoxi's hatred for Tang Ming has reached the point of being out of control, and now he just wants to kill him and save trouble.
Seeing that Zhu Gaoxi didn't listen to persuasion, Li Xing's face also changed several times, and he warned coldly: "It's not easy to kill that kid, I'm afraid that if I can't kill him, I'm afraid that I won't be able to kill him and cause trouble." After all, he is also a disciple of Young Master Yao, and he is a dignified marquis, he was assassinated to death for no reason, the emperor will give up, Yao Guangxiao will ignore it, until the last moment, I advise you to put away this thought. ”
"What's there to worry about, as long as you let the dead soldiers cultivated in the East Factory disguise themselves as Jianwen's thieves to assassinate, if you really miss, it won't affect us." Zhu Gaoxi didn't take Li Xing's warning to heart at all, and still didn't give up.
"Hmph, you want to get involved with those dead soldiers in my East Factory, this is the foundation of my East Factory, every dead soldier is cultivated with great difficulty, and these people will only be allowed to go out when something major happens, without the consent of the emperor, no one can order them." Li Xing tried to control his emotions, and the ignorance of the second prince made him very helpless. (To be continued.) )
