Chapter 243: Harbor on Virtue and Energy

Facing a group of soldiers, Zheng He said loudly: "Tomorrow, the old king of Sumatra will hold a funeral, all soldiers, this is a holy nah, it will bring you great benefits, you must obey Prince Hani's arrangement, you need to remember: through all nations, do not disgrace the mission!" ”

"Pass all nations, live up to the mission!" A thousand men and horses echoed in unison, and the sound of the voice was endless over the harbor for a long time. Zheng He also ordered people to move out many boxes, which were filled with woven gold and Wenqi, all of which were gifts from the Yongle Emperor to the Sumatra Kingdom. Prince Hani helped his mother into the chariot, and the people and horses behind him followed him in a procession, and they drove towards the capital.

Zheng He and Wang Hou stood side by side, and when they saw that the team was far away and there was no one around, they laughed: "General Wang, you handed over the two people you captured to Su Ganra to deal with, knowing that the sheep were in the mouth of the tiger, and still doing this, it is a good way to appease Su Ganra." ”

Wang Hou hurriedly said: "Chief soldier, just now I made my own decisions and returned those two people to them, I wanted to find out the assassin and the mastermind behind the scenes, but I remembered what the chief soldier said, this is their internal matter, and it is not good to interfere more, so I gave up." ”

"General Wang has done a good job, we have no way to investigate this matter, and we have no right to pursue it, I believe that it will not take long for Prince Hani to solve this problem. Besides, this is a major trade place, and we will stay here for a month, and maybe we will find something new. The two walked back as they spoke, and Zheng He said again, "General Wang, tomorrow I will take people and envoys from various countries to see off the old king, what are your plans?" ”

Wang Hou thought for a moment and replied: "I like to be lively, tomorrow will be over, and the new king's coronation celebration the day after tomorrow, I will go over." Zheng He nodded: "It's okay, then you can rest well tomorrow...... By the way, General Wang, do you think that Prince Hani's luck is very good, the blue-belted cow was about to lose, but the white-belted cow suddenly went out of sorts, I only saw a little silver flash, but I didn't find anything abnormal. ”

Wang Hou said with a smile: "The chief soldier has good eyesight, admire!" Ten flavors of Tianxiang needle is a lily fairy unique secret weapon, with poppy, five-color plum, nightshade, heavenly fragrance lily and other ten kinds of flowers extracted, soaked in ordinary embroidery needle, you can become the most poisonous ten flavor Tianxiang needle, the tip of the needle is slightly floral, glowing with blue light, there is no poisoning symptoms after stabbing, but if the lily fairy does not save within a quarter of an hour, it will definitely die. ”

Zheng He suddenly realized, but asked with a smile: "It's so far away, it must have been the general's own shot, right?" …… Lily Fairy, was it the bewitching woman who the general called yesterday and asked her to bring some 'flower mist' to the capital? Wang Hou replied: "'Flower mist' is also made by the lily fairy, and it can release mist after igniting, and people will be poisoned after smelling it, and without her antidote, they will die of itching all over their bodies within three days." However, I think that although it is vicious, it eliminates the need to fight and kill, which is a good way to control violence, and there is still room to make up for it, unlike ordinary swords, which cannot be recovered after killing. ”

"What General Wang said is that there is no good or bad martial arts and weapons in the world, the key depends on who uses them, where they are used, and good people use them in good places, which is to suppress evil and promote good; When a bad person is used in a bad place, he is doing evil. The real viciousness is not the martial arts weapon, but the person who has the martial arts weapon. Although Zheng He's words were simple, Wang Hou had also thought about it, but he was still listening carefully.

Zheng He said: "On the rivers and lakes, why do you often fight to the death with martial arts secrets and magic weapons, but you don't know that these things are lived by the virtuous, and those who are not virtuous, even if they get it, they will only attract the curse of heaven and bring bad luck, so once they participate in the competition, they have lost their qualifications." ”

Wang Hou never thought deeply about these remarks, and whispered to himself: "Once you participate in the competition, you have lost your qualifications...... Doesn't that mean that Prince Hani has lost his qualifications to become a virtuous king by participating in the struggle for the throne? ”

Zheng He muttered: "This can't be compared, the core of royal power is to benefit the world, so not everyone can take the throne." Virtue is important, but the ability to govern the country is even more important, otherwise the people in the world can't even guarantee their livelihoods, where will there be peace? Virtue is the guarantee of eating a good meal; Yes, but it is a guarantee of food. ”

Speaking of this, Zheng He fell into contemplation and said slowly: "Twenty-two years ago, when I was not yet thirty years old, I participated in the 'Battle of Jingjing' with the Holy Lord, endured countless hardships, survived countless tribulations, and killed countless people. At first, many people thought that this was a rebellion, that it was his uncle who robbed his nephew of the throne, but the real reason was that Emperor Jianwen at that time listened to slander and was worried that the Holy Lord would bring him a threat and wanted to kill the Holy One! If you don't start the battle of martyrdom, the Holy One will not be able to live! Twenty-two years have passed, you see how powerful our Ming Dynasty is to catch up with the Tang Dynasty, and the Yongle Prosperous Era will surely shine for thousands of years! ”

The more Zheng He spoke, the more impassioned he became, and Wang Hou's heart was also surging, and he bowed down and said: "The words of the chief soldier have been taught by the subordinates, and it is not a secret that the reason why I decided to go to sea with the fleet a few years ago was that a senior master asked me to 'sail the rivers and lakes and promote morality'." I thought I would have to endure a lot of hardships on this trip, but I didn't expect to get more. ”

Zheng He high-fived and said: "Sail the rivers and lakes and promote morality." Good! Morality is virtue, and propagation is ability, which is the same as what I said before: 'To be good to all nations, not to disgrace the mission.'" Although one stands on the position of the rivers and lakes, and the other stands on the position of the imperial court, they are on the same path and work the same! ”

At this time, after the rain, the sky above the harbor is like a wash, large white clouds are piled up on the distant sea, and flocks of seagulls spread their wings and soar between the water and the sky. There are high-rise ships moored in the harbor, stretching for ten miles, and the two of them look into the distance, and their emotions are excited.

After Wang Hou broke up with Zheng He, he returned to the "Tianzhu", Liu Hanyan and the others were still talking about the bullfighting competition just now, and when they saw him come in, they all laughed. Wang Hou asked in surprise, "What is so happy?" "You haven't come back yet, and we're all wondering if you're going to look for the little flower cow." Liu Hanyan's words made several people laugh and bend over.

Wang Hou rubbed his hands: "You really deserve to be the elder of my ruthless gang, I can't escape your eyes for anything, guess what's wrong with the little flower cow?" Liu Hanyan took a sip: "The more you talk about it, the more unserious it becomes, do you still want to let go of the little flower cow?" ”

Jin Minhui said with a smile: "Brother Wang, the Ten Flavors Tianxiang Needle is infected with flower poison, after the cow is shot, will the flower poison attack and hold the cigarette boy?" Wang Hou knew that she was alluding to the lily fairy, and said strangely: "Hey, what about the fairy?" I'm looking for her...... Oh, can't she get on the 'Heavenly Pillar'? ”

"The fairy didn't have the time to come here, so he went with Mo Qixia." Li Zhixian laughed on the side, and continued, "Brother Wang, we are still discussing how to catch the assassin. Several of them giggled again. Wang Hou came back from the palace last night, and the four of them, Zhuang Zhaoxue, and Liu Zhaohui asked about Wang Hou's situation, knowing that the queen had made an oath that whoever helped her catch the assassin would be committed to marrying her. At that time, several people also made a joke, saying that they would find a way to catch the assassin and try to keep Wang Houneng in the palace.

Wang Hou deliberately pretended to be stupid and asked, "Catch the assassin?" I've heard that the Assassin is very martial arts, so it's good that we don't get caught by him...... However, Zheng Zongbing said just now that the fleet will stop here for a month, and if you are lucky this month, you may really be able to catch that assassin. ”

Zhou Qingzhu, who had not spoken, hurriedly said: "Brother Wang, if you really catch the assassin, after the queen marries you, then you won't go to sea with us?" Wang Houqiang couldn't help laughing, and hummed: "If I'm lucky enough to catch the assassin, I'll stay in the palace and not go anywhere, lying on the dragon couch every day, enjoying the same treatment as a king, it must be very enjoyable...... Besides, my name is Wang Hou, and she is also called the queen, which is not an ordinary fate. ”

Liu Hanyan asked, "Just you?" Wang Hou wiped the mustache on his lips and asked, "What, you also want to enjoy such treatment?" "Phew! You don't let go of a woman in her forties, it's really not an ordinary taste, and I'm too lazy to talk about you. Liu Hanyan stood up and shouted, "I haven't played mahjong for a few days, who is playing hurry up." ”

Several people rushed up, leaving Wang Hou and Liu Zhaohui aside, Zhuang Zhaoxue moved half a step slower and didn't grab a seat. Liu Hanyan shouted while stacking cards: "Zhuang Shiyan, the old rules, the old rules, whoever wins will let you." Otherwise, you accompany my brother to go outside, my brother's tea and rice are not fragrant these days, I'm afraid I'm thinking about Sister Xiaosha. ”

Liu Zhaohui hurriedly said: "Sister, what are you talking nonsense, when will I stop eating?" Zhuang Zhaoxue took his hand and walked out of the door: "It's been hot recently, and it's normal to not be able to eat, but Senior Sister Yan's mouth is the same as martial arts, it's getting more and more powerful, Senior Brother Liu, I'll accompany you to go outside, and your longing will be better." "Senior Sister Zhuang, you are also talking nonsense, I really didn't think about Xiaosha......"

The next day, many people gathered in groups, mostly to attend the king's funeral, but also to visit the capital. Wang Hou and the others didn't go anywhere, only spent a day on the treasure boat. It wasn't until it was almost dark that Wang Hou went to the "Gate of Heaven" and agreed with the seven sons of Wudang and the lily fairy that they would go to the palace tomorrow morning to watch the coronation celebration of Prince Hani. The third child was arrogant and arrogant, and at first he didn't want to go, but he couldn't stand the persuasion of everyone, so he agreed.

The third day was June 23, and the weather was sunny and the temperature was getting hotter and hotter. Early in the morning, the five members of the Ruthless Gang, Liu Zhaohui, Zhuang Zhaoxue, and the seven of them all held a folding fan in their hands, which was still a folding fan given by Xiaosha. After the seven people met with the Lily Fairy and the Seven Sons of Wudang, a group of fifteen people rushed towards the capital.

After the buffalo race the day before yesterday, Suganra reluctantly announced the results of the game, saying that June 23 was an auspicious day, and that the coronation ceremony of the new king would be held, and everyone present was invited to the capital. However, this day was a disaster day for Wang Hou and his party.
