What dreams does Zheng He have?

His biggest dream is to go to the West, spread the Ming culture all over the world, if one day, the Yongle Emperor dies, the next emperor will no longer fund him to go to the West, that is when his dream is shattered.

By then, Zheng He would probably be alone to death.

Therefore, after hearing that the imperial grandson attached so much importance to going to the West, how could Zheng He's mood not be excited?

Does this mean that as long as the imperial grandson ascends to the throne, his journey to the West can be continued?

"Little brother, do you really think I can leave a name for eternity?" Zheng He's breathing was slightly short, and he looked at Zhu Chen.

Zhu Chen smiled and said, "At least what you are doing now is very meaningful." ”

Zheng He's heart was ecstatic, and he continued to ask: "I'll give you an analogy, I mean an analogy, if you become an emperor one day, will you support going west to the West?" ”

He was testing Zhu Chen.

Zhu Chen was shocked in his heart, but he still pondered for a moment, and said: "Although it costs a lot of money to go west, this is a matter of establishing national self-confidence, and I will fully support it on the premise of ensuring that the people have food." ”

Full support!

Taisun, it is enough to have your words, I Zheng He is grateful.

Zheng He was relieved, as if he had found a confidant, and he couldn't wait to show Zhu Chen the magnificence of the Western Ocean.

He took out a world map and spread it out directly on the table: "Little brother, then I'll explain it to you now, so that you can see the actual meaning of going to the West." ”

Zhu Chen saw that the world map was not complete at this time, but it had already begun to take shape.

Above, there are all kinds of mountains and rivers drawn, and the Ming Empire is in this world map, with a wide territory and a majestic appearance!

At this time, Da Ming should be a well-deserved world boss.

Zheng He's hand pointed to a few small islands: "Don't look at these small islands, this is the Wa Kingdom, in the second year of Yongle, when I first went to the Western Ocean, the Wa Kingdom became my Ming vassal." ”

After the introduction, he pointed to a place: "This is Chao X, even their country name was given by Ming Taizu, before they were called Goryeo, when the country was in turmoil, Chao X reversed, I went to the West for the first time, let them witness the strength of the Ming Dynasty, and they surrendered." ”

After that, he looked at Zhu Chen with a smile: "You don't know any of this, right?" ”

Zhu Chen is very clear about the history of the Ming Dynasty, and naturally knows this period of history, but after mentioning it like this, Zhu Chen still has a sense of pride.

Zheng He seemed to have found a confidant, and continued to introduce himself: "The first time I went to the West, I subdued the Wa Kingdom, Goryeo, Annam, Ryukyu, Zhenwax, Siam, Champong, Java and other vassal countries, so that they would send envoys to make a pilgrimage every year. ”

"The second time I went to the West, I subdued the Forty-Three Kingdoms and made the Forty-Three Kingdoms a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty."

"Third ......"

When Zheng He said this, he gushed endlessly: "Since going to the West, my Ming vassal kingdom has grown to hundreds of countries, and they all surrender to the feet of the Ming Dynasty, and when they hear the name of the Yongle Emperor, they will bow down and worship." ”

"Anyone who goes out can proudly announce to the world that I am a Han Chinese, and they will definitely care for you."

"All nations come to the court, the world is watching, this is the real purpose of going to the West."

Zheng He explained very carefully and enthusiastically, and Zhu Chen also listened carefully, and he was full of emotion in his heart.

It was not until this moment that he understood that the history books were not just a cold story, seven trips to the West, not only carrying Zheng He's life, but also the glory of the Ming Empire.

On this day, Zheng He and Zhu Chen had similar interests, and they didn't leave excitedly until late.

Before leaving, Zheng He took out another piece of gold and jade from his arms.

This piece of gold and jade is only the size of a small palm, but it is engraved with a beautiful scene of the Ming Dynasty.

This piece of gold and jade was given to him by the king of Sumatra, but now Zheng He is willing to give this piece of gold and jade to his future king and to the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji!

At the same time, this is also the purest gold and jade, which is priceless.

"This piece of jade, for you." Zheng He said with a smile.

Zhu Chen looked at it and hurriedly shook his head: "No need." ”

Zheng He grabbed Zhu Chen's hand and said with a smile: "It's speculative to talk to you today, this gold and jade will be sent, if you have the opportunity to talk again in the future, I will leave first." ”

After that, he stood up and was about to leave, but Zhu Chen had no choice but to send him off.

After walking out of the small courtyard, Zheng He muttered: "Your Highness, this piece of gold and jade is extremely strong, it should be regarded as an agreement between our monarchs and ministers, when you ascend the throne in the future, I will definitely lead the four seas to worship, and a hundred countries will make a pilgrimage, so that you are extremely beautiful." ”

"At that time, which king of ancient and modern times will have your beauty?"

"Although I don't know why the emperor didn't take you back to the palace, the emperor must have his own considerations, and it will be sooner or later."

Thinking of this, Zheng He smiled, looked back at the inconspicuous small courtyard, and quickly rushed towards the post station.

……

Jinyi Wei edict prison.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck!"

"Zheng He, this guy is sincere in blocking Lao Tzu."

"It's killed, and now the Jinyi Guard can't live in the prison."

Ji Gang held his forehead and looked at the cage in Jinyiwei's prison, where a person was overcrowded.

In the past, a maximum of two or three prisoners were held in a single cell.

But now, a prison cell is crowded with people, like a carp crossing a river.

The most important thing is that the entire Jinyi Guard Prison is like this!

Moreover, there is a steady stream of people being escorted in.

Inside the prison, countless people are crying out for injustice.

"I didn't break the law, why arrest me."

"Lord Jinyiwei, okay, let me out, the child is still waiting for me at home."

"I just stole a chicken, is it necessary to put me in the Jinyi Guard's prison?"

Zheng He knelt down to the emperor's grandson in public, and Ji Gang couldn't tell which of these ordinary people would be the eyeliner of the King of Han, and he simply looked like a thief or didn't look like a good person, so he was all caught.

In order not to reveal the identity of the emperor's grandson, Ji Gang secretly arrested more than 1,000 people today, and Jinyiwei was tired and paralyzed.

"Zheng He, you want me to wipe your ass with the shit you pulled, and sooner or later I will join you." After Ji Gang finished speaking resentfully, he beckoned and called a brocade guard.

He commanded: "Let these people squeeze a little longer, and you will find out their identities overnight, and if they are good citizens, let them all go before tomorrow." ”

"Why, these people are making me really hurt in the head."

Ji Gang's tone was full of helplessness.

The brocade-clothed guard said in a deep voice: "Commander, we have arrested more than 1,000 people without authorization, if the emperor knows about it......"

Ji Gang's face was pale, and he shook his head and said: "It's about the emperor's grandson, the emperor can tolerate anything......
