Chapter 289: Doubts and Worries
This time, Fei Xin was called, but in fact, the main thing was to let him go to the sea to find the mysterious island of the Illumination Sect. In order to hide people's eyes www.biquge.info treasure ships must not be dispatched, and the fleet needs to be disguised as a caravan.
After learning that the Bright Sect had a hidden stronghold on the sea, Tang Ming ordered Lao Wang to prepare the ship early in the morning, and Fei Xin took people to set off after resting for two days. And Bai Xiaolan followed, who volunteered to follow, and Tang Ming could only be left to her.
After sending Fei Xin away, when Tang Ming returned to the mansion, he received an edict from the queen and ordered him to enter the palace. At this time, let himself enter the palace, Tang Ming more or less guessed that it must be the emperor's side of the news. He didn't dare to slack off and hurried to the palace again.
The queen seems to be in a very good mood today, her face is full of smiles, and when she sees Tang Ming coming, she rarely counts him down first, but chuckles: "The mourning family heard that you have sent people to find Jianwen's whereabouts just now, but is there such a thing?" ”
"Returning to the queen's mother, this is indeed the case." Don was visibly crisp.
The queen nodded: "That's fine, the emperor just sent a letter, and he also ordered you to arrange people to go out to find it as soon as possible." The mourning family knows that this matter is in a hurry, so they won't rush you, but they can't relax and know? ”
"Wechen remembered!"
"Well, if you keep this thing in mind, don't spread it, just do it secretly. In order to avoid the hardships of the long journey, after you go back, you will organize a fleet to go to Tianjin Port to welcome the emperor, and pay attention to safety on the road. ”
No wonder the queen has such a good mood, it turns out that the emperor is going to return to the court, and the war in Tatar will come to an end, which is in Tang Ming's opinion. A long conversation with Yao Guangxiao last time had already made Tang Ming guess something, but he couldn't say it.
It's just that I don't know how sick the emperor is, and I need to go and see it myself. After bidding farewell to the queen and leaving the palace, Tang Ming did not dare to delay, and immediately rushed to the treasure shipyard again, mobilized the nearly 100 ships that were currently left, and prepared to leave for Tianjin tomorrow.
The vast sea is full of mystery and is the origin of all life on earth, and floating on this sea is like returning to the arms of Mother Nature. Tang Ming stood on the deck of the treasure ship, with seagulls following all the way above his head, and Tang Ming, who calmed down and looked at the sea, couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart.
Daming's shipbuilding technology is advancing rapidly, and its practicality and quality have changed dramatically from before. It's a pity that the technology of iron control is still too backward to build a treasure ship with steel, which is Tang Ming's only regret now.
Four days later, the fleet entered the port of Tianjin, and Tang Ming immediately sent people to Beiping to inform the emperor. This time, Zhu Di stopped by to see how the imperial palace in Beiping was built, so he stayed there and did not come directly to Tianjin.
It wasn't until the evening of the next day that Tang Ming waited for the emperor, and Yao Guangxiao and Zhu Yong, who had not seen him for many days, came with him. The scar on this guy's face was hideous and terrifying, if Tang Ming hadn't known how he was injured, he would really not be able to recognize him.
Zhu Yong, who was completely disfigured, didn't seem to care about his appearance, this guy was actually proud of it, and when he met people, he told him how the scar on his face came about, of course, his statement was naturally exaggerated.
Zhu Di's return trip was not in a hurry, so the fleet did not leave, but still docked at Tianjin Port. At dinner, Tang Ming and the emperor ate at the same table, and they didn't open their mouths during the meal, and Zhu Di didn't ask until after the meal.
"Did the people who searched for that mysterious island send out?" As he spoke, Zhu Di's eyes flashed with a fierce gaze, and his face showed a solemn look.
Tang Ming squeezed out a smile on his sullen face, nodded and said, "Back to the emperor, I have already sent it out." ”
Zhu Di nodded and then fell silent, stood up and walked around the room, stopped at the window and looked out, and after a long time, he suddenly said: "How big do you say this sea is, bigger than my Ming Dynasty?" ”
Tang Ming followed behind him, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and grinned: "Big, much bigger, Wei Chen has also walked back and forth in this Bohai Sea a few times, the area of this Bohai Sea alone is not smaller than Da Ming, not to mention that there is the Pacific Ocean outside the Bohai Sea." ”
Tang Ming didn't know how to explain to Zhu Di for a while, the current people have always been aware of the fact that the sky is round and the place is round, and he doesn't dare to say that the earth is round, so he can only explain it in general terms.
Zhu Di looked at the deep sea outside, and said nostalgically: "I have always been very curious about the sea since I came to Beiping by King Yan, but I have never really walked on this sea. There is no hurry to go back this time, it is better that we will not go back directly tomorrow, how about you take me to this Bohai Sea for a circle. ”
Unexpectedly, Zhu Di suddenly made such a request, which was the rhythm of his own life. Before leaving, the queen had repeatedly explained that safety should come first, but the emperor suddenly wanted to go around the Bohai Sea, and Tang Ming felt very embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, the people of Nanjing know that the army has returned victoriously, and they are waiting to warmly welcome the soldiers. Besides, the queen is also anxiously waiting for the emperor in the palace, and it seems that there is something wrong with us doing this. Why don't we go back to Nanjing first, recuperate for a few days, and get ready for Weichen, and it's not too late to go to sea when the preparations are complete. ”
Zhu Di turned around and squinted at Tang Ming, seeing that his face was full of urgency, he smiled slightly: "Well, as you said, when I return to Nanjing, I will prepare for a walk on the sea again." Speaking of the sea, I don't know where Inspector Zheng's fleet has gone, and he has been gone for almost half a year, right? ”
Tang Ming secretly pinched a cold sweat, and said with a smile: "What the emperor said is extremely true, this fleet is traveling along the coast back and forth, so the preparation is not sufficient, and if you want to go to sea, you need to make other preparations." As for his father-in-law, he is an old man, Weichen guesses that he should be on the way back, and if nothing else, he should be able to return to Daming before the end of the year. ”
At this moment, Zhu Di's words were full of an old tone, which was very different from his violent temper on the battlefield. Tang Ming's mind was a little worried, and after bidding farewell to the emperor, he immediately went to find Yao Guangxiao.
There are a lot of doubts, he has to ask the teacher to make it clear, Zhu Di's words and expression tonight are like the last words of a dying old man. To say that there are no ghosts in this is certainly a lie, and the Tatar war will certainly not be so half-done.
Huerhot has been taken, why not wave the army north in one go, completely sweep away the Tatars, but symbolically accept the Tatar peace, search for some cattle and sheep and hurriedly withdraw the army back to the DPRK. All kinds of signs made Tang Ming feel incredible, and coupled with Zhu Di's expression, he had to worry. (To be continued.) )
