Chapter 70: On the eve of the ceremony

Yao Guangxiao's words were not wrong at all, but Tang Ming never let go, the old monk didn't understand love in the world after all. A man who breaks his word about a woman, especially his future wife, is not a good start. Once you have it, it's hard to guarantee that you won't have a second time.

Besides, there are still many people engaged in agriculture in their fiefdoms, which is also a problem. Yao Guangxiao saw that Tang Ming was silent, and naturally knew that he couldn't let go of his feelings for a while, so he didn't speak, and continued to meditate peacefully.

On the way back to Zheng's Mansion, Tang Ming kept thinking of a way, and he still couldn't think of a good idea until late at night, until he fell asleep in a daze.

On the third watch, he was awakened by the chaotic noise in the house, and when he opened the door, he saw that the people in the house were actually arranging the Zheng Mansion in the middle of the night. The bright red cloth hangs horizontally on the door curtain, and the brightly lit Zheng Mansion is full of lanterns, and the lanterns are colorful in a festive atmosphere.

Tang Ming was about to call someone to ask what was going on, but he saw Zheng He, dressed in a red official uniform and wearing a black gauze hat, striding towards him, with a smile on his face. seemed to be in a good mood, and when he saw himself standing at the door stupidly, he laughed from afar.

"You kid, why are you still standing stupidly, at dawn the emperor will drive the southern suburbs of the imperial mausoleum to worship the ancestors and ascend the throne. Hurry up and change into official uniforms, and follow me to the palace gate to meet you. ”

Tang Ming slapped his forehead, and then he suddenly came to his senses, thinking about things and falling asleep in a daze, he didn't expect to forget such an important thing.

"Damn it!" Secretly scolding himself, Tang Ming pulled his legs and retracted into the room, quickly dressing up.

Zheng He smiled and waited quietly at the door, looking at the joyful arrangement of the house, and he was in a good mood. The steel keel of the treasure ship has been officially mass-produced, and due to the shortage of iron production, only five ships can be built a day, but this can already meet the immediate demand. In the future, it is only necessary to increase the mining of iron ore, and it is normal for the keel of the treasure ship to be cast entirely of steel.

With these ships, Zheng He has no worries about sailing to the sea, and today on the day of the emperor's enthronement, he wants to report the good news to the emperor. Tang Ming, this kid, will definitely be rewarded again, and then he will be able to show his face in front of the ministers.

Especially let Li Xing take a look, although he was sent as an official, he is still a celebrity in front of the emperor. I heard that this guy has been promoted by the emperor to the capital of Dongchang, and Jinyi Wei Jigang was also transferred out of Nanjing for this reason. It seems that I also need to avoid some during this time, and it is better to stay in the shipyard and go out less.

As long as Li Xing is not allowed to find an excuse for trouble, he will not dare to do anything to himself at will? Yang Fan will be able to go to sea at the beginning of spring next year, and even if Li Xing wants to do anything with himself, there is no way.

Zheng He, who was pondering, did not find that Tang Ming was already dressed and standing beside him, and Tang Ming, who had been observing Zheng He for a long time, didn't know why he was in a daze here, but time no longer allowed the ink to go down, and said casually: "Father-in-law, are we going to leave now, the carriage has been prepared outside the mansion gate." ”

Zheng He came back to his senses and nodded, and the two of them walked outside, got into the carriage and drove the carriage with only four guards plus Lingyi, and slowly walked towards the palace gate.

Today's Nanjing city is destined to be lively, along the street on both sides of the door of the house are hung two large lanterns, on the long Suzaku Street, at a glance like two lanterns gathered into a flying dragon, in the dark night sky is about to rise. As we approached the palace gate, the number of people gradually increased, and all kinds of carriages gathered here.

In addition to the different symbols of each family's identity, the appearance is decorated with bright red cloth to show good luck.

emperor

Zhu Di's 50,000 pro-army soldiers became guards along the street, all of them looking vigilant, and their eyes kept sweeping over the officials who came and went. If there is any abnormality, the knives and guns in their hands can kill people on the street at any time, this is the privilege that Zhu Di gave them today.

Zhang Yu was wearing a full-body armor, surrounded by Li Jinglong, a military general who had surrendered, and two generals who were also tall and burly, standing in the middle of the gate of the palace, like two bottles of door gods, majestic appearance, people couldn't help but admire!

Zheng He's identity is an internal official, although he has a mansion outside the palace, and he usually does not stay in the palace, but the emperor ascends the throne for such a major event, he, an internal official, naturally has to enter the palace to serve by the emperor's side.

Zhang Yu and Li Jinglong, who were stationed at the gate of the palace, naturally understood the rules, and let Zheng He pass after verifying his identity. Tang Ming was originally unable to follow Zheng He to enter the palace, but who made our Tang Marquis have a big face, Zhang Yu and Li Jinglong were stunned and turned a blind eye, pretending not to see it and letting it pass.

"It seems that you kid is mixing well in the palace! Even Zhang Yu, a general who has always regarded rules as more important than life, can let you enter the palace regardless of fouls, which is really rare! Zheng He suddenly looked at Tang Ming with a smile, although there was blame in his words, but his eyes were full of appreciation.

Tang Ming touched the back of his head in embarrassment and smirked, Zhang Yu would give himself face like this, it was nothing more than the reason why the thousand sergeants who were arrested by Jinyi Wei a few days ago. If you really want to talk about this matter, thank you Ji Gang for giving yourself a big face, otherwise Zhang Yu would not have treated himself so politely.

Soon after the carriage entered the palace gate, Tang Ming and Zheng He got out of the car and walked into the long road, and Zhu Di climbed at the gate of the Taiji Palace. It was now overcrowded, and the carriage could no longer go straight into it.

Zheng He was separated from Tang Ming at the gate of the Taiji Palace, and he seemed to have many acquaintances in the palace, and many palace maids and eunuchs who met him along the way saluted and greeted him. When he first arrived at the Taiji Palace, an old man who claimed to be a palm seal eunuch seemed to have been waiting for Zheng He for a long time, and when he saw him pulling, he hurried to the palace.

Tang Ming was left alone outside the hall, although there were many people around, but none of them knew him, and it was impossible to even talk to someone. Zheng He left in too much hurry again, and forgot to tell Tang Ming where he should stay, so that at this moment, Tang Ming didn't seem to have even a place to stay.

Hou Ye's official uniform was on his body, and after the palace maids and eunuchs around him, and the guards saw him and only saluted in a hurry, they left on their own, not even giving Tang Ming a chance to ask questions. Stupidly stayed at the door of the Taiji Hall and waited, and I didn't know when I would have to wait. Tang Ming casually glanced around and found that there was a path next to the Taiji Hall, and there seemed to be no one there.

With a happy face, he walked slowly over there, people have three urgencies, at this moment, Tang Ming couldn't find a place to pee, he couldn't hold it back, he had to find a secluded place to solve it.
