There are more than 400 emperors in history, some of them are self-made, and some of them are half-pushed and half-pushed to the throne, but there are really not many who can achieve the point of Zhu Zhanyan.

Relying on his ruthlessness, coupled with the identity of the royal family, Zhu Zhanqi's rise can really be said to be in the right place at the right time.

The so-called Tianshi is that he is in the best era, if it weren't for Zhu Di, maybe any other emperor of the Ming Dynasty would not indulge Zhu Zhanyan to do this.

The so-called geographical advantage, in fact, is talking about his experience and those changes in the situation that just contributed to his success, if it were not for the relocation of the capital of the Ming Dynasty and the war between the north and the south, whether Zhu Zhanyan succeeded or not would have to be tentative.

The so-called harmony is actually the identity of Zhu Zhanyan's royal family.

If it weren't for Zhu Gaoxu's eldest son, if it were any royal family other than Zhu Di's lineage, Zhu Zhanyu would not have succeeded.

However, even if these conditions are combined, Zhu Zhanyan's success is an existence that is infinitely close to a miracle.

Zheng He can really be said to have watched Zhu Zhanyan get up step by step.

He had witnessed Zhu Zhan's up-and-coming, and at that time he was still very hesitant about those who were inserted in the city, and he didn't know what to do.

Zhu Zhan's rise He has witnessed that Zhu Zhan's burning of Annan and the eastward expedition to the Japanese kingdom were the battles that really established Zhu Zhan's title of killing god.

The first thing Zheng He saw with his own eyes, and the second thing was that he almost participated in it, if it weren't for the fact that he was still shouldering the heavy responsibility of going to sea, it would not be Wang Jinghong who carried the Yunnan Army at the beginning, but him.

In the end, it was Zhu Zhanyan's success.

There is no doubt about this, not to mention the encounter and help in the Timurid Empire, let's just say that now, Zheng He is a witness.

"You don't have to look at me like that." Feeling Zheng He's gaze, Zhu Zhanyan smiled slightly.

He could probably guess Zheng He's thoughts, but it was only an approximation, and he didn't have the idea to delve into Zheng He's thoughts.

In Zhu Zhan's opinion, none of them are very important.

"Ma Bao, in fact, you should be glad that as soon as the emperor succeeded to the throne, it can be said that the ocean-going business was stopped almost immediately, and the city division was almost abandoned."

"I don't say that you should also know, if this continues, in a few years, the city can be said to be empty, and there is actually nothing."

"As for my cousin, he doesn't have much time to do anything ocean-going, you have been in Beijing during this time, and I think I have seen it, he has hardly done anything other than to concentrate on dealing with me."

Zheng He was silent when he heard this.

Indeed, although he didn't like Zhu Zhanji's practice of occupying Yingtian and actually controlling Daming, he had to say that Zhu Zhanji was really a little outrageous.

When Zhu Zhan was attacked and the news of Dehuan was caught in Beijing, the news that Wara took the artillery made in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty to attack and kill the royal family of the Ming Dynasty was also spread.

At that time, Zheng He only had one reaction, shock.

For a long time, he didn't actually have any camp, but when he stood in line, he stood behind the prince's line.

It's not because he is optimistic about the crown prince, nor because the prince has given him any favors, but simply because the prince is the most justifiable, and the prince's succession to the throne is the most stable for the Ming Dynasty.

But now, he has to deny what he saw at the beginning.

Is it Zhu Zhan's fault? Not.

No matter in any dynasty, it is not wrong to expand the territory, and Zhu Zhan Yan not only opened up the territory, but also governed the places that were fought well, and there were almost no rebellions.

In comparison, the imperial court is inferior to him, not to mention that Yongle was nine years ago, let's just say that after King Wu became a vassal in one line, the rebellion of the Ming Dynasty has never stopped.

Is that Zhu Zhanji's fault? Neither is it.

No matter which emperor it is placed on, in the face of an outlier like Zhu Zhanyan, it can be said that everyone thinks of getting rid of it, and no matter how bad it is, it will take away all his rights.

Because no emperor is willing to let this kind of situation arise where someone is equal to him, or even more powerful than himself.

Whose fault is that? Zheng He didn't know either.

He only knew that this was actually the final result of the survival of the fittest, and if he wanted to blame it, then he could only blame Emperor Taizong for not handling it.

"Zheng He's decayed body, I don't know if His Royal Highness the Prince can use the minister, if there is, the minister will definitely go to the soup and die."

Zheng He, who knelt down to worship, when he said this, it was equivalent to him compromising with the facts.

Or it can also be said that he is for the Ming Dynasty, and for the better development of his ocean-going career that he has insisted on for half his life.

Zhu Zhanyan is right, if it weren't for him, any emperor would have given up the ocean after ascending the throne.

Let's not talk about Zhu Zhan Gully, let's just say that Warat and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate are enough for an emperor to give up anything and concentrate on coping.

"It doesn't have to be this way." For Zheng He, Zhu Zhanyan actually has some complications.

This is a person who grew up learning his deeds in textbooks and looking at the portraits made up by unknown people, and he still admires Zheng He's seven trips to the West.

But alas, he is the prince of Han and now the prince of Wu, and they are opposites after all.

"Actually, what you need to do is what you are best at, and what you have been doing, that is, going to the ocean."

"I think you should have heard that I asked the Mu family to dig a canal in the west of the Timurid Empire, once the canal is completely dug up, you don't have to continue south after arriving at Thornsa and Adan when you go to the ocean in the future, but you can go in the direction of Mecca, the holy city in your heart."

"After crossing the canal, you will reach the Golden Horde and the Holy Roman Empire, and all you need to do is trade with them with silk, tea, porcelain, and other goods unique to our Han Chinese."

"Of course, this is only superficial, in fact you still need to find out about their situation, and there are even more things you need to do, but these are all to be determined for the time being, and I will let you know later."

"After the morning court on the sixth day of the first lunar month, you can pack up and go to Liujiagang in Taicang, and I will send a group of craftsmen to you to repair the treasure ships that have been shelved for more than a year."

"When the repairs are completed, you can basically set off, and after passing the Thornsa and Adam, you can go to Mecca, the holy city of your heart, because for now, the canal is not yet complete."

"Really...... Are you sure? ”

After hearing the words Mecca in the holy city, Zheng He raised his head suddenly, his eyes flashing with excitement, yearning, and disbelief.

As a devout Mu Silin, as a Mu Silin who obviously had the opportunity to go, but had to give up for the sake of the ocean career, going to the holy city of Mecca can be said to be Zheng He's greatest wish.
