However, Zhu Di, the Emperor of Yongle, supported Yao Guangxiao with so much manpower and material resources, but not for the happiness and perfection of his life. For him, a lifetime of deeds and achievements is enough.

What he cares about is the permanence of the country.

With his life, he won't take the risk of going back and doing it all over again - if he fails, the cost is too great! Moreover, the so-called "tool" has not been experimented, so he does not have to take this risk. But he was very interested in someone crossing back and finding out where Zhu Jianwen was hiding.

It's a pity that Yao Guangxiao didn't give him this opportunity.

Because of that tool, you may only be able to use it once. And if you go, you can't go back to the present – because everything has changed!

Therefore, he ordered Yao Guangxiao to complete the development of the "tool", so that if his descendants encountered the encounter of being codified like Jianwen, or like the Northern Zhou Dynasty handed over the real power to Zhao Kuangyin and caused the country to be destroyed, or was attacked by other clans like Jing Kangsha, then the person he designated could activate the instrument and restore the dynasty under the premise of having the least impact on time and space.

Just like a repentant chess player who knows exactly where the future direction of the Dao and all the choices of the enemy is, his dynasty will smoothly survive the dangers that all dynasties cannot endure, and find the magic opportunity to continue the legend in the face of helplessness!

So Zhu Di strongly supported it.

But Yao Guangxiao is very contradictory.

Because he believes in providence, man-made, but it is just a manifestation of providence.

But he had to do it, not for the emperor's order, but because he found out that someone was already secretly conducting research in this area. Liu Bowen's "The Ballad of Baked Cakes" hinted at the attempts of Chen Youliang and the rest of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. So his original intention was to prevent this kind of behavior from happening, so as not to be used by the despicable villain to turn things upside down.

But it's amazing, it's fascinating. Once you start, you can't stop!

At the beginning of the first year of Yongle when Chengming Chengzu succeeded to the throne, in the third year of Yongle, they made major discoveries on the basis of their predecessors. I also found that it would take a lot of materials that Middle-earth didn't have to accomplish that! Yao Guangxiao saw the advent of the Age of Discovery, so he had to bring these things back to Middle-earth before the Western powers discovered them!

And so began another world-famous feat!

In 1405 AD, in the third year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, the largest fleet in the maritime history of the Shilu Realm, composed of 27,800 soldiers and 240 large ships, began the earliest and farthest voyage!

The leader is called Zheng He!

And he is actually the logistics support specialist of the five-person research team. He is the only person who knows part of the truth of the Tao except for the five Feng Shui masters and the Yongle Emperor. His mission. It's to find the materials to make the "artifact". Zheng He's candidate was recommended by Yao Guangxiao to Emperor Yongle.

So Zheng He went to the West, and the real mastermind was Yao Guangxiao!

So Zheng He sailed thousands of miles to a hundred countries. but they have never conquered a country or a city;

So he brought with him a lot of jewelry, finances, preparations, and related tribes to exchange the necessary raw materials!

When Huangfu Fengliu heard this, he also began to be suspicious. Because he finally solved the mystery of Zheng He's voyage to the West: it was rumored that this was to find Emperor Jianwen - so vast. If Jianwen had heard the wind, he would have run away! and they do not take siege or plunder. Could it be that Yongle was a "pure person" like a great doctor later?

It turned out that his real purpose was to search for materials for the construction of time-traveling artifacts in the Continent of the World!

"What happened then?" Believe it or not. This "story" is becoming more and more appealing.

Master Musaku went on to explain:

Zheng He went to the West, arrived in Java and other places, and returned to Middle-earth in the fifth year of Yongle, bringing back a large number of strange treasures, but did not find any really useful materials. In that year, the compilation of the Yongle Canon was completed. The theoretical research on the crossing artifact has also been completed, and it is just waiting for the materials to be experimented. The four core feng shui masters were all placed by Yao Guangxiao in the Qingshou Temple in Beiping.

And the chief editor of the Yongle Canon, Xie Jin, found that Yao Guangxiao, who was ordered to compile the book with him, had other "intentions", and it is said that with the identity of Yao Shaoshi and his relationship with the Yongle Emperor, he should pretend not to see it, in fact, Wang Jing, Zou Ji and others, who were also involved in the compilation of the book at that time, did just that.

But Xie Jin's self-control is high, and he has repeatedly searched for the truth.

The truth often has to pay a price, but fortunately, Yao Guangxiao hopes to save the seeds of the scholar after Fang Xiaoru for the world, so he strongly advises Yongle not to kill him. In that year, he was demoted to the political envoy of Guangxi, and then he was released even further.

In that year, Zheng He went to sea again, still in the direction of the eastern Indian Ocean, which lasted two years and still had no harvest.

In the summer of 1409 AD, that is, in the seventh year of Yongle, Zheng He, after full preparation, led the fleet abroad for the third time.

Unlike the previous two times, there is also a heavyweight who sails at the same time!

Yongle's first strategist Yao Guangxiao!

It turned out that after returning twice in vain, Yao Guangxiao decided to go in person this time, after all, his attainments in feng shui and strategy are unmatched in the world, although Chengzu was worried and admonished, but finally agreed to him. In the second year, former Prime Minister Xie Jin returned to Beijing and privately met with the prince to ask Prince Zhu Gaochi to pay attention to "Yao Guangxiao's mysterious moves", which completely angered Yongle, and Yao Guangxiao was not there, so Xie Jin was imprisoned.

On the other hand, Zheng He and Yao Guangxiao's voyage finally found some materials in Manthorn. Arriving in Ceylon, which is closer to the equator, Yao Guangxiao discovered the rock of the "Fire in the Center of the Earth", which is an important raw material for the artifact's energy field.

However, the king of Ceylon was not very cooperative.

So the fleet defeated King Arekhnar in Ceylon, and Yao Guangxiao finally found most of the materials to make the magic.

Unfortunately, this time-changing artifact was not so easy to complete after all, so in November 1412, Zheng He set out for the fourth time. This time his destination is Africa! Yao Guangxiao has no peers because of his advanced age and the fact that the research of artifacts has reached the most advanced stage. In 1415, Zheng He brought back African ivory and other extremely hard accessories, so that most of the materials used to make the machine were almost complete.

In other words, at this time, Yao Guangxiao reported to Cheng Zu: It was determined that within a period of time, the artifact envisioned by the sages for thousands of years could be produced.

Emperor Yongle did one thing and instructed Jinyiwei to execute the talented son Xie Jin!

Because of the secret of the Dao, the four feng shui masters were almost in a state of "captivity" and stayed in the temple, Yao Guangxiao was his own minister and a monk; The other is Zheng He, who does not know all the Tao. Cheng Zu is most worried about Xie Jin, who speaks "not taboo".

For the sake of his descendants, in his eyes, the difference between a talented man and a slave is not big-

Everyone heard that this matter was originally about the fate of so many people, and the time node was completely consistent with history, and while admiring Zheng He and sighing for Xie Jin, they couldn't help but believe it a little more.

Huangfu Fengliu asked: "In this case, why did the eunuch of Sanbao go to the West three times later?" Indeed, if the goal is achieved, why continue? That's a lot of money! (To be continued......)
