Zhu Gaoxu's plea for mercy failed to impress Zhu Di, and he was carried out by two guards in front of the door of the imperial study, and a farce ended in this way.

Tang Ming looked at the emperor in front of him with a tense face, he never thought that the king of a country in front of him would be so ruthless, and he could be so ruthless to his beloved son. If you make a mistake, you will be imprisoned, and as a courtier, the consequences of making a mistake can be imagined.

Yao Guangxiao is unfathomable at the moment, and Zhu Di's actions obviously mean to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys. Otherwise, in normal times, Zhu Gaoxu would never have fallen to the point of going to prison. Using his son's matter to warn Tang Ming, it seems that the effect is still remarkable.

Zhu Di seemed to be very satisfied with Tang Ming's stunned look, the kid was exquisite, and there was no need to say more. Holding the dragon's head high, he stepped into the imperial study.

Tang Ming bent down and followed him carefully, deliberately slowed down to wait for Yao Guangxiao, and whispered in his ear: "Teacher, the disciple wants to ask your old man to help ask the emperor for a treasure ship, I don't know if it's possible?" ”

Yao Guangxiao had a smile on the corner of his mouth and nodded: "Your fiefdom is on an isolated island overseas, and its island is isolated, once it is profitable, pirates will be rampant, and you can ask for the Three Treasures for the sea ships and related personnel." As for the number of treasure ships, it is still feasible to have one or two. ”

While speaking, the two of them had arrived at the door of the imperial study, Tang Ming stopped speaking, bowed slightly and walked in the door. Zhu Di sat on the dragon chair, lowered his eyes and made no sound.

Tang Ming was a little apprehensive in his heart, he didn't know whether he should stand up and talk to Zhu Di about the treasure ship, and the atmosphere in the quiet imperial study was a little strange for a while. Tang Ming peeked at Yao Guangxiao from the corner of his eye, the old monk was in a steady state, no different from Zhu Di's appearance.

This means to force yourself to speak! Tang Ming had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to do!" ”

"Aiqing can just say something if she has something, why be so polite." Zhu Di changed his dullness and said.

Seeing that this tone didn't seem to blame himself and Zhu Gaoxu, Tang Ming suddenly calmed down a lot, and said casually: "The minister has been preparing to leave for Weihai Island in the past two days, although Lord Zheng He generously donated some sea boats. However, considering that there are many pirates roaming on the sea, for the sake of their safety, without one or two treasure ships as a guard, it may be difficult for the minister to domesticate cattle and horses for the emperor on an isolated island. ”

"The treasure ship is my Ming Dynasty's weapon at sea, and it stands to reason that it will never be sent to the courtiers, but if you have made a contribution to transforming the keel of the treasure ship, I will give you one. Go and discuss with Zheng He on your own, and just say that I have promised you. If it is peaceful today, and I am about to ascend the throne in the near future, Weihai Hou can first send his subordinates to arrange the affairs of the fief, and as for you to stay and participate in my enthronement ceremony, you can go to the fiefdom later. ”

After four years of war, more than 100 battles, large and small, until today, he finally succeeded in ascending the throne, and Zhu Di is very happy.

Tang Ming promised to accompany Zhu Di to chat a few words, and then said goodbye and retired with Yao Guangxiao. On the way back to Qingshou Temple, Tang Ming was troubled by curiosity and asked Yao Guangxiao about the East Factory. Yao Guangxiao didn't have any concealment, and answered them one by one.

After Zhu Di started this morning, he did discuss with Yao Guangxiao whether the East Factory needed to be established. Yao Guangxiao didn't support Zhu Di from the beginning, but Zhu Di had already made up his mind, and he just informed him when he came to talk. Zhu Di can be said to be quite dependent on the eunuchs around him, and his trust in them has far exceeded that of Jinyiwei.

But if you directly let the eunuchs around you go to join the Jinyi Guard, it is not appropriate to do so, and such a change does not mention that the ministers of the DPRK and China will have a discuss. Jinyiwei, a powerful organization itself, could not accept it, so in order to be able to do it once and for all, Zhu Di simply came up with the idea of setting up another institution comparable to Jinyiwei.

And this institution is of course run by the eunuchs around him, and the first candidate is, of course, Li Xing, who has always been loyal to Zhu Di. Yao Guangxiao saw that his persuasion was ineffective, so he stopped talking, and the older people were, the older they were, and he almost lost interest in these things in power.

Yao Guangxiao was very interested in another initiative proposed by Zhu Di, that is, the compilation of the Yongle Grand Canon. Yao Guangxiao expressed strong support for this matter, and Zhu Di also ordered him to start preparing personnel, and he could start operating as soon as the time was ripe.

Tang Ming naturally knew about the Yongle Grand Ceremony, but for the establishment of the East Factory, Yao Guangxiao's indifferent performance was a little surprising. After all, the so-called first ruler of Dongchang is Li Xing, and Zheng He's current relationship with Li Xing, Yao Guangxiao can't know anything about it.

can know that his disciples will be in big trouble in the future, but Yao Guangxiao can still treat this incident as if it never happened. Tang Ming, who was in a daze, wanted to ask, but in the end he endured it, an old fox like Yao Guangxiao was not worried about Zheng He, what did he care about as an official.

When the sky falls, aren't there still these big guys like them? If you want to be able to live easily in the future and be a Hou Ye freely, there are some things that you still know less.

It's already the second watch day to send Yao Guangxiao away, I don't know how Lingyi's kid is doing? After all, Tang Ming was still a little uneasy about his temperament, and urged the guards to speed up and rush back to Zheng's mansion.

The imperial study in the palace was still lit, Zhu Di had not yet gone to bed, and a broken teacup was scattered on the thick carpet of the imperial study. Zhu Di's face was angry, and the two fierce glints in his eyes poured out unreservedly on Ji Gang who was kneeling on the ground.

It turned out that Ji Gang had received a secret letter from the Beiping Jinyi Guard not long ago, saying that the Tatars had attacked the Ming frontier again, causing a large number of casualties to the local defenders. Seeing that the situation was large, the situation was not optimistic, and asked the emperor to take precautions and send reinforcements.

Zhu Di heard the news before he had the angry performance just now, Tatar's actions undoubtedly deeply angered Zhu Di, the family was still fighting in the past, and there was no time to take care of the Tatars, so he could only try to be patient. But now it is different, the family has calmed down the civil strife, although it still needs to recuperate to restore the national strength, as long as it can be withdrawn.

Zhu Di was willing to have a big war with the Tatars, especially from the time he was divided into Beiping and guarded the frontier, he formed a lot of hatred with the Tatars. It can be said that if Jianwen is Zhu Di's thorn in the heart, then Tatar is a thorn in his side, and he is a person who must be eliminated quickly.

"I want you to order the dead soldiers in the brocade guards to infiltrate the Tatars to spy on the military, and it has been a while since the days are counted, but what is the result?" After some venting, Zhu Di finally suppressed the anger burning in his chest and asked Ji Gang in a cold voice.
