Ten years of Yongle, Jinling, outside the palace.

"Whew, it's been five years, and I'm finally back."

Looking at the palace with golden walls and blue tiles, Zhu Zhangui let out a sigh of emotion.

"Your Highness, you still have the heart to sigh, you still have to think about it more, how to explain it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in a while."

The person who spoke, with a black face and no beard, knotted muscles all over his body, and calluses on his hands, coupled with the faint smell of the sea on his body, knew that this person had been walking on the sea all year round.

"Explain what?"

Zhu Zhangui glanced at Zheng He, who was dressed in a commanding envoy robe.

"I was hiding hide and seek and was only taken away when I hid in your goods, but I didn't run out with you secretly, you didn't find out, it's your responsibility."

Zheng He was speechless.

Who's hide-and-seek, can hide in a box for half a year, do you believe this?

"Then be careful yourself, there were a lot of people who inquired about you last night, and it is estimated that there will be a large wave of imperial history today, and I want to refer to your book."

Zhu Zhangui waved his hand absently.

"Let me be careful, I think you should be careful."

"I brought back so much money, but you only brought back some spices, ivory, and coral. For the sake of going to sea, the imperial court has spent so much money, so you bring these useless things back, do you think that the guy Xia Yuanji, the head of the household department, can spare you. ”

Zheng He's face instantly cried.

Zhu Zhangui is right.

The imperial court spent so much money to build a fleet and leave it to itself. And after going out for five or six years and spending countless assets, he only brought back less than two or three million taels of silver. The income is not worth the payment, and the gangsters are definitely unwilling.

Thinking that he would face those big guys later, Zheng He looked at Zhu Zhangui pitifully.

"Your Highness, why don't you give the ministers a little bit?"

Zhu Zhangui's eyes widened, and he raised his feet and stepped to the side, distancing himself from Zheng He.

"The surname Zheng, with our friendship, it's okay for me to block the knife for you, but it's not okay to borrow money, it's all my hard-earned money, without money, what do you let me use to support my 365 maids."

Zhu Zhangui crossed into this world ten years ago and became the second son of Renzong Zhu Gaochi and the twin brother of Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji.

In the fifth year of Yongle, Zheng He went to the West for the second time, and Zhu Zhangui, who wanted to go out to earn money with his golden finger, asked to go out with Zheng He, but was refused.

The bold Zhu Zhangui ran away from home directly, hid in Zheng He's caravan, and quietly followed the other party all the way to the Western Ocean, until he left the sea area of the Ming Dynasty.

Then there was five years of drifting on the sea with Zheng He.

Zheng He originally planned to come back in the sixth year of Yongle, but Zhu Zhangui, who made a lot of money from selling goods, squatted at sea for a few more years.

"Your Majesty has a decree, declare the commander of the ocean-going treasure fleet, Zheng He, and meet you!"

Just when the two were at the gate of the palace, one borrowed money and the other did not borrow, Zhu Di's personal eunuch Xiao Snot walked out.

"Little snot, didn't my grandfather call me?"

Hearing that Zhu Di only saw Zheng He, Zhu Zhangui reached out and grabbed the little snot that turned around.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty said: This little cub likes to float outside, so don't come back."

Zhu Zhangui glared, "Then why didn't you say it just now?" ”

Little Snot said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty said, if you don't ask, you won't let the slave and maid say, and let you stand here." ”

Zhu Zhangui's face darkened, and he turned around and left.

I don't see the pull, there are times when this old man regrets it.

"Hey, hey, Your Highness, don't go."

Zheng He saw Zhu Zhangui turn around and leave, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Zhu Zhangui.

"Why don't you leave? Do you stay here and drink the wind? As I said, I still have a lot of things to do, my gold and silver worth 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, Now the world is not safe, what should I do if I don't get it done in advance, and I am robbed by some shameless old guys? ”

"Mother! 100,000,000,000 taels ”

The little snot almost flew out of his eyes.

"Why are you still stunned! Why don't you come over and help. ”

Zhu Zhangui insisted on leaving, but Zheng He didn't dare to use force, for fear of hurting Zhu Zhangui, so he hurriedly beckoned Xiao Snot to help.

The little snot, who was thinking about how much 100 million taels of gold and silver was, ran forward in a daze.

Together with Zheng He, one hugged his legs, the other hugged his waist, and ran to the palace with Zhu Zhangui on his shoulder.

"The surname is Zheng, you're done, our friendship is over, the next trip to the sea, you see if there is anyone with you."

"Your Highness, I am also helpless, how dangerous is the Jingshi now, some time ago there was Jianwen Yu who assassinated His Majesty, you go back alone, I don't worry. Let's go to the palace first, and after meeting Your Majesty later, I'll go back with you, so it's safer." ”

"Okay, the surname Zheng is good at things, and now I don't blush when I lie, you wait, we're not done with this matter."

Along the way, the palace maids, guards, and eunuchs stared at the emperor's personal chief in astonishment, as well as Zheng He's father-in-law, who they could only look up to, carrying a struggling teenager into the palace.

Zhu Zhangui doesn't look at the struggle, but in fact, he has no intention of running.

Zhu Zhangui knew very well in his heart that he couldn't eat all the gold and silver worth nearly 100 million taels.

If Zhu Zhangui dares to eat it all, he can guarantee with his toes that there will definitely be a large number of masked robbers who will break into his house tonight and loot his treasure.

What's even more amazing is that these robbers only rob money and don't hurt their lives.

Then, within a quarter of an hour, a major case will be solved on the side of the imperial court, and countless stolen money will be seized, and since there is no reason for the loss of the owner, it will be decided to confiscate all the notices.

Thinking of this possibility, Zhu Zhangui decided to go back at night and make some preparations.

Xiao Snot and Zheng He carried Zhu Zhangui and ran wildly all the way into the Fengtian Palace.

Zhu Di and the civil and military officers of the Manchu Dynasty, who were waiting, were a little confused when they saw the battle in front of them.

What's going on? Why did you still carry it in?

"When you get to the place, why are you carrying me? Why don't you put it down quickly? ”

Zhu Zhangui, who was stared at a little unnaturally by everyone's strange eyes, kicked his little snot angrily.

"Oh, Your Highness, slow down!"

"Humph!"

With his feet touching the ground, Zhu Zhangui tidied up his messy clothes and shaved Zheng He viciously. He sat down angrily, facing the door, and ignored Zhu Di and the others who were glaring at him angrily.

"Didn't I say that? Let him stay outside, how did you bring him in? ”

Just when the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu was curiously thinking about what was going on, Zhu Di's angry voice sounded from above.

Tired and sweaty and panting, he was still immersed in the small snot of 100 million taels of gold and silver, and looked up at Zhu Di in a daze.

"Your Majesty, 100 million taels."

Zhu Di frowned, glanced at Zhu Zhangui, who was pretending to be angry and kept twisting his body to move out, glared at the little snot and asked, "What 100 million taels?" Make it clear. ”

The little snot turned his head and pointed at Zhu Zhangui regardless of the courtesy.

"Just now, His Royal Highness the Second Emperor Sun said that he has... and a hundred million taels of gold and silver. ”

"Boom!"

In an instant, the entire court exploded.

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhangui in a daze, and pinched his ears hard, unable to believe the number he had just heard.

Standing below, looking at his second son's Zhu Chubby with an excited face, hearing this number, his fat couldn't stop trembling.

Zhu Zhanji, who was watching the jokes of his second brother, stuffed his hand into his mouth in surprise, and used the arithmetic he had learned in his mind to calculate how much 100 million taels was.

No matter who he saw, he was a pair of household Shangshu Xia Yuanji, who others owed him 1.8 million, and he was almost surprised by this number.

"Sambo, what Little Snot just said is true."

Trying to suppress the shock in his heart, Zhu Di's voice trembled a little.

Zheng He, who was pulling Zhu Zhangui to prevent him from running away, nodded with a wry smile.

He had expected everyone's expressions, and when he heard this number, he didn't come back to his senses for a day.

"Yes, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Second Emperor Sun has been out with me for the past five years, doing business, selling goods and some other means, and getting a total of 98,730,000 taels of silver."

"Boom!"

Zheng He's affirmation was like a dry thunder on a sunny day, and the little eunuch guards who went up to Zhu Di and down to the station were all stunned and stood in place, their faces dazed.

100 million taels, God, that's how much is that!
