When Zhu Di heard Zheng He coming, he stood up and said, "Ao, hurry up and announce him to the palace!"
Zheng He crossed the ocean several times and became famous overseas, which made Zhu Di have a lot of face, and now when he heard that Zheng He was back, he hurriedly let him go to court. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zheng He walked up to the court, and Fan Xiaojian saw that he was sturdy, his face was dark, his eyes did not squint, and he walked with great strength, of course, there was no beard under his chin.
Zheng He stepped forward, knelt down and saluted, and said: "Long live my emperor, long live long live, long live my majesty this time I went to sea, Your Majesty's prestige is far away, and the barbarians from all directions are all bowing down to the ministers, and the ministers are on this trip, and they have also brought back a lot of tribute for Your Majesty." ”
Zhu Di was very happy and said: "Ao, Zheng Aiqing went overseas, worked hard, and the tribute is still second, so let's rest for a few days first." ”
Zheng He said: "Your Majesty, this tribute is extremely special.
When Zhu Di heard this, he was very interested and asked, "Ao, how special?"
Zheng He said: "In addition to the tributes from various countries, the minister also brought back unicorns and dragons from abroad. ”
The courtiers were shocked and said, "Is there really a unicorn? What is this foreign dragon?"
Zhu Di was also very surprised, and said: "No wonder I haven't seen the Qilin all the time, it turned out to be far overseas, Zheng Aiqing, you have made a great contribution, then hurry up." ”
Zheng He said: "The minister obeys the order!"
Not to mention that Zheng He went out, the courtiers here exchanged heads one after another, and this one said: "Lord Shangshu, have you seen the real Qilin?"
He said, "I haven't seen it." ”
Here, he said: "General Wei, you have been on the border for a long time, not far from a foreign country, and you have seen the real Qilin?"
Over there, General Wei said: "Don't talk about the real Qilin, I haven't seen the fake one." ”
Fan Xiaojian said in his heart, what does this unicorn look like? I have only seen it in books, is there really one in this world? Besides, this foreign dragon can breathe fire and smoke, and you can't eat all these people when you come?
Zheng He said that he brought the unicorn and the dragon, everyone was suspicious, and there was a lot of discussion, only to hear a commotion outside, everyone was surprised and curious, and they all craned their necks to look at the door of the main hall, and everyone who saw it said "Wow!", only Fan Xiaojian almost fainted.
I saw a giraffe and a kangaroo brought in by the samurai outside the door.
Everyone's eyes first focused on the giraffe, and they were amazed by the giraffe from afar, and Zheng He smiled on the side.
It's no wonder that the giraffe, this guy, is too tall, taller than Yao Ming, and first attracted the public's attention.
At that moment, the ministers looked around the giraffe and the kangaroo, and Zhu Di also stepped down from the dragon chair to watch closely, but fortunately, the two monsters had a very good temper, the giraffe did not kick people, and the kangaroo did not scratch people.
Zhu Di looked at it, and suddenly asked Fan Xiaojian: "Master Fan, why is your face so strange?"
Fan Xiaojian said: "Your Majesty, the minister is not eccentric, the minister is happy that the facial nerve is compressed. ”
Zhu Di said: "Okay, whatever you want." ”
Lu Zhen quietly asked Zheng He: "Lord Zheng, are you sure this is the Qilin?"
Zheng He said: "Yes, I spent a lot of money to buy it, this is a rui beast, only one has been produced abroad for hundreds of years, and i bought it, this is still the holy grace to popularize birds and beasts, so this rui beast has descended to earth." ”
Lu Zhen nodded: "Ao ~~~~~~ so that's it." ”
He didn't dare to say no, if he said no, then Zheng He's words just now said that it was because of the kindness of the saint, if you say no, then you deny the kindness of the saint, so do you want to have your head?
Xie Jin said, "Master Zheng, where is the dragon you said?"
Zheng He pointed to the kangaroo: "Master Xie, isn't this here?" ”
Jian Yi asked Zheng He: "Lord Zheng, this is a foreign dragon? How can this dragon not be gray, and it does not have the dragon majesty of our Ming Dynasty at all?"
Zheng He said: "Yes, this overseas barbarian land, of course, can't be compared with our Ming Dynasty, adults, look at this thing, small head, big belly, thick tail, can squat, like the dragon in the comic book." ”
Fang Bin said: "Oh, but this dragon seems to have horns, if it doesn't have horns, is it considered a dragon?"
Zheng He said: "Yes, maybe it's because he's still young, he hasn't grown yet, you see that the sheep didn't have horns when it was small, and then it grew again, besides, the dragon of this foreign male has horns, and the female has not." ”
Fang Bin said: "Ao, yes, it makes sense, but Lord Zheng, is this because of the child or because of the mother?"
Before Zheng He could answer, Ji Gang stepped forward, touched the kangaroo's head, and said, "I'll see if this is true, Master Zheng, I'm either suspicious of you, or I'm a little curious." ”
Zheng He smiled and said, "Master Ji, this must be true, how can people do it? But you have to be careful." ”
Ji Gang said: "Be careful of what?" Before the words fell, the front chest was hit several times by the kangaroo's front paws, and the mouth was also hit slightly, and a tooth fell out at that time.
Ji Gang hurriedly withdrew his body, covered half of his face and looked at the kangaroo angrily and hatefully.
Zhu Di asked, "Ji Aiqing, are you okay?"
Ji Gang hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's the minister's carelessness, maybe it's time to change your teeth." ”
Zhu Di nodded: "Commander Ji knows a lot about the general situation, and I am very pleased. ”
Ji Gang hurried: "Thank you for your trust." ”
Zhu Di nodded, and said to Zheng He: "This foreign dragon seems to know martial arts?"
Zheng He said: "Back to Your Majesty, there is a kind of boxing method in the West, which is different from my Celestial Empire, the name is boxing, and punching is somewhat similar to this." If you want to come to this foreign dragon smart, you will learn it when you see it. ”
Zhu Di nodded, and suddenly his gaze did not move, and everyone followed Zhu Di's line of sight, only to see a small head peeking out of the dragon's belly.
A sharp-eyed minister saw it and said, "Look at it, what is that?"
Everyone saw it and said, "Oh, what is this, Lord Zheng, what is this?"
Zheng He knelt on the ground and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, this is a buy one get one free, it's really a great good omen." ”
Zhu Di laughed and said: "Qing went to sea this time, not only to promote the foreign land, but also to bring me Rui Beast, hard work and high achievement, enough to be a model for human ministers." ”
Zheng He said: "The minister is loyal to the country and works tirelessly, this time the minister returns, and the kings and envoys of the thirty-one countries follow the minister to pay tribute." ”
Zhu Di perked up and asked, "Ao, what are the thirty-one countries?"
Zheng He said: "These thirty-one kingdoms are Champang, Siam, Kurumus, Adam, Zufar, Thornsa, Buthornwa, Mugudushu, Zhubu, Malin, Guli, Kezhi, Gajel, Ceylon Mountain, Tashan, Timur, Namwuli, Sumatra, Aru, Manthorna, Gambari, Manpasa, Boni, Java, Sulu, Lamboli, Burawa, Sumatra, Saliwan, Pahang, Sun Ra, these kings have long admired the prosperity of our Celestial Empire, know that the saint is generous, like to send things to outsiders, they all rush to pay tribute, trying to exchange less for more, and they are reluctant to take their own boats, they have to follow the minister's boat, saying that they are afraid that their ship will be damaged by the sea, the minister has no choice but to agree, the position on the ship is not enough, and there are those who fight in order to grab the quota, they all say that they want to see Tianyan, saying that even if they die, there will be no regrets, Your Majesty, will you let them see it?"
Zhu Di laughed and said, "In this way, let them meet, come!
The eunuch shouted: "The Ming Emperor sent the vassal kings from all over the country to face the king!"
Zheng He said, "Your Majesty, what about this unicorn and dragon?"
Zhu Di said: "Guanglu Temple is a good student to take care of, and eat seven kinds of food. ”
Guanglu Siqing said: "The minister's decree." ”
Immediately, the kings and envoys of thirty countries came to Hulala, and Hulala knelt down and saluted Zhu Di, and said one by one: "Long live the Ming Emperor, long live, long live, long live." ”
Two of them bent down and bowed.
The eunuch was furious, and said, "Boy, everyone is kneeling, and you two are standing by yourself, are you three noses and eyes angry?"
One of them, a bearded man, proudly said: "I am Ardushah, an envoy of the Great Timurid Empire, and I cannot bow down to anyone other than the Great Khan." ”
Another bearded man said, "I am a descendant of Marco Polo, my name is Marco Guoguo, and I have come here to give back what belongs to me, and I will bow down if I am given what I have been given." ”
Zheng He was furious on the side and said, "Why didn't you two say it at first, and only say this now, since you are so rude, why did you come on my boat, you pay the boat money first." ”
Aldushah said, "I am your guest, and you should bring me by boat, and you will send me back by boat." ”
Marco Guoguo said: "What I have here is very valuable, and what you have given me, I can give you money for the ship." ”
There was a commotion when the minister boarded, and Fang Bin, the secretary of the military department, said: "What is the Timurid Empire?"
Aldushah said: "Our Timurid Empire is the largest country, the west to the edge of the sky, the north to the edge of the sky, the south by the sea, also the edge of the sky, our bravest hero, riding the fastest horse, can not run for ten years." ”
At this time, a fellow person said: "This guy is bragging, he is our largest country, but he is far from being compared with the Ming Dynasty." ”
Fang Bin said, "Who are you?"
The man said, "I am the king of the kingdom of Manchuria, and we are a small nation, and we are often bullied by them. ”
At this time, the kings and envoys of other countries all said that Althusa was wrong.
Aldushah said: "King Manthorna, if you speak ill of us like this, be careful that I will go back and tell Timur Khan that the army of our country has robbed all the cattle and sheep of your country, and let all the people of your country starve to death." ”
The king of the thorns did not speak, but was gasping for breath.
Fang Bin said, "You arrogant fellow, you dare to threaten our guests in front of your host, you don't want to live?"
Aldushah said: "As an envoy, I should protect the honor of our empire, and my Timurid empire is rich and powerful, and everyone should pay homage to us." ”
Lu Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "You barbarian, you have never seen the world, you don't know the majesty of my Ming Dynasty, and you are arrogant here, which is really an unforgivable sin. ”
He said to Zhu Di again: "Your Majesty, please arrest this guy." ”
