In the next few days, Wanli learned to swim alone in the divided pool. After playing for a few days, he felt a little tired, so he called Zhang Yun and told him that he could leave for Nanjing.

At the Qingdao wharf in September, the yellow acacia swayed in the wind, reflecting each other with the figures on the wharf. A gust of wind blows, and the acacia flowers fly all over the sky and fall on the shoulders of the fishermen, adding some different colors to this autumn scene.

The fleet docked at the Qingdao wharf, waiting for Wanli's order to sail towards Nanjing.

Officials in Shandong respectfully stood at the Qingdao wharf, seeing off Wanli, wanting to make another wave of presence in front of Wanli.

"Ministers, go back quickly. Remember, stick to your job. Wanli waved his hand to disperse the ministers.

The officials present saluted Wanli again. "The ministers send the emperor to him."

Wanli nodded and smiled, and then walked towards the big boat. Seeing this, Zhang Yun hurriedly followed.

In a short time, all the people who accompanied him boarded the treasure ship.

"Let's go!"

Zhao Hu roared.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom" With the loud sound ......of the fleet, the sea water set off white waves, and then the fleet gradually sailed out of the Qingdao dock.

Wanli stood at the bow of the ship, watching the figures of the Qingdao people get smaller and smaller, smaller and smaller, until they disappear. When Zhang Chucheng and the others saw Wanli's fleet disappear from view, they withdrew their gaze, and then retreated in an orderly manner.

Two hours later.

Wanli looked at the blue ocean and blue sky, took off the shackles on his body, and became extremely lively. From time to time I look here, and from time to time I run over there, as if I have an endless experience.

"Your Majesty, you better save some effort, it will take two or three days to get to Nanjing." Zhang Yun looked at Wanli's lively appearance and reminded with a smile.

Wanli glanced at Zhang Yun angrily. "Now I can do whatever I want, no one can control me."

Zhang Yun and Feng Bao looked at each other and smiled, then stopped talking and stepped aside.

No, in the evening of the same day, the sky was not beautiful, and it rained heavily. Suddenly, the originally calm sea surface instantly became turbulent.

Fortunately, Wanli's treasure ship was big enough, otherwise it would have been enough for him to drink a pot. Rao is like this, and he still tosses Wanli enough.

No, the ship swayed a little harder, and Wanli was a little seasick.

"Gross! Vomit! At this time, he was holding the spittoon and vomiting. Feng Bao patted him on the back behind him.

"Ah, this storm is too big, I feel like I'm almost going to pass out..."After vomiting, Wanli said weakly.

"The first time you were at sea, you might not be used to it, but after a few times you got used to it?"

Wanli heard Zhang Yun's words, and replied with a bitter face: "Huh? How many more times? I can't stand it this time. ”

"No, no, when I go back, I will definitely go back by land."

Zhang Yun smiled and stopped talking, and then bowed his hand to him and exited Wanli's room and ran to his room.

Then, take off your clothes and slowly lie down on the bed, closing your eyes tightly.

"Boom!" "Whoa, whoa....." The sound of rain on the sea was mixed with thunder, and it was so noisy that Zhang Yun couldn't sleep. I don't know how long it took, the sound outside became quieter, and Zhang Yun gradually fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, when the dappled sunlight shone on Zhang Yun's face through the window of the boat, Zhang Yun felt the warmth on his face and hurriedly covered it with his palm, "Ah! He yawned and slowly opened his eyes.

When I opened the window, I saw that it was already sunny outside. The gray sky has become brighter, and there are still a few pieces of wood floating on the sea, which are witnesses to yesterday's storm.

Zhang Yun looked at Xu Xi who was sleeping next to him again, gently pinched her pretty face, and then walked straight out of the room. When I got out of the room, I saw that Zhao Hu and the others had already started to get busy, and there were people coming and going on the deck, and after a while, the fleet wafted with a burst of fragrance.

"Is the emperor up?" Zhang Yun asked Zhao Hu.

Zhao Hu shook his head. "You haven't woken up yet, why don't you call the emperor?"

"Forget it, let the emperor sleep a little longer. Let the brothers wait a little longer, and wait for the emperor to wake up before starting the meal. ”

Zhao Hu got Zhang Yun's general order, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately passed the order down.

So, the huge fleet began to wait, waiting for Wanli to wake up from his sleep.

The sun was getting higher and higher, and everyone was enduring hunger and heat, staring at the direction of Wanli's cabin.

"Branches!" A voice came, the cabin slowly opened, and Wanli slowly walked out of the cabin under the gaze of everyone.

When everyone saw Wanli come out, they hurriedly saluted him. "Ministers, see the emperor."

"Get up."

"Tell me to go down, and we can start eating."

With Wanli's order, the command continued to spread between the fleet.

Half an hour later.

The fleet ran out of food and continued towards the city of Nanjing.

Zhang Yun looked at Wanli's bored appearance, and proposed with a smile: "Your Majesty, why don't we borrow the Daohua Pavilion and go to pay tribute to Xu Taibao first?" ”

"It's fine." Wanli pondered for a moment and immediately responded to Zhang Yun.

The fleet traveled for another day, and at noon on the second day, Wanli's fleet arrived in the waters of Huating County.

When the officials of Songjiang Prefecture learned that Wanli was coming to Huating, they immediately dispersed the crowd. Then he cleaned the street several times, for fear that Wanli would find something wrong.

After doing all this, the officials sorted out their clothes, came to the dock neatly, stretched out their heads to look at the sea, and looked forward to the arrival of Wanli.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man in a cyan official robe shouted while running. "It's coming, it's coming, the emperor's fleet is almost here."

"Wang County Order, where has the emperor's fleet arrived?" Wei Ting grabbed the man's arm and asked excitedly.

"It's almost there, it's almost there..., I came from there just now, and I have already seen the fleet enter our Huating, and it is estimated that it will arrive soon."

As soon as Wang Xianling's words fell, someone exclaimed: "Look, the emperor has arrived, arrived." ”

"Colleagues, let's quickly get dressed and get ready to take over." Wei Ting tidied up his outfit again, and did not forget to remind the other officials.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Many officials once again sorted out their clothes, for fear of losing their honor in front of the king. Just when everyone was tidying up, Wanli's fleet was getting closer and closer, and finally they could even see Wanli's face clearly.

After the fleet docked, Zhang Yun ordered someone to lower the ladder. Wanli was carefully supported by Feng Bao and slowly walked off the treasure ship.

"Your Majesty!" After seeing Wanli get off the boat, Wei Ting hurriedly took the officials of Songjiang Mansion to salute him.

"Ministers are exempt."

"By the way, what about Xu Yuanchun, the grandson of Xu Taibao?"

Xu Yuanchun hurriedly responded to Wanli: "Your Majesty, where is the minister here?" ”

Xu Yuanchun was a jinshi in the second year of Wanli, when Wanli was only twelve years old, and it was normal not to remember him.

"You take me to pay tribute to your grandfather, Xu Taibao Three Dynasties Elder, I am deeply saddened to hear that he passed away. Today happened to pass by Huating, so I naturally wanted to go to Huating to see Xu Taibao. ”

"Thank you for the emperor's grace."

Xu Yuanchun heard that Wanli memorialized Xu Jie, and his heart was overjoyed. In this way, he can send a message to the outside world, that is, his Xu family still has holy relatives.

If you want to move, you have to weigh it.

And his sister married Zhang Juzheng's eldest son, and his sister-in-law married Zhang Yun. Although the Xu family is no longer as brilliant as when Xu Jie was alive, it is still a leader in this Nanzhili.

Xu Yuanchun took Wanli to a cemetery, which was littered with graves. However, the most conspicuous and largest tomb is the tomb of Xu Jie.

Wanli was taken to Xu Jie's tomb, looking at the life deeds carved on his tombstone, he couldn't help but sigh.

Xu Jie was a tanhua in the second year of Jiajing, and because he was good at writing green words and played an important role in the process of fighting Qiu Luan, he was valued by Emperor Jiajing.

Since then, he has curryed favor with Yan Song on the one hand, and forbearance on the other, preparing to give Yan Song a fatal blow. Finally, in the forty-third year of Jiajing, he finally seized the opportunity, and he became a famous minister to eradicate Yan Song in one fell swoop.

It's just a pity that he indulged his children and grandchildren in his later years, and ended up in a bad night.

Xu Yuanchun found a few pillars of incense for Wanli, Wanli took it and lit it, arched his hand at Xu Jie's tombstone, and directly inserted the incense in a piece of land in front of the grave.

"Let's go." After doing all this, the people around Wanli spoke.

Xu Yuanchun stepped forward and hurriedly led Wanli to his home. Not long after, Wanli came to Xufu surrounded by a group of people.

Wanli couldn't help frowning when he saw that Xu Mansion was so luxurious, Zhang Yun saw Wanli's expression, and secretly said that it was not good.

"Your Majesty, I have prepared a room for you to ensure that no one disturbs you." Xu Yuanchun didn't notice Wanli's ugly face, but talked to him about himself.

"Oh, you've put a lot of thought into it."

"Doing things for the emperor, don't dare to bother." Xu Yuanchun replied with a smile.

Wanli and Zhang Yun glanced at each other, and Zhang Yun smiled and nodded at him.

"Okay, you put Changning Hou next to me."

"That's nature, that's nature."

After that, Xu Yuanchun made a gesture of invitation to Wanli. Wanli took a step forward and walked towards the mansion with Feng Bao, and the surrounding officials hurriedly followed, for fear of slowing down others.

About twenty minutes later, Wanli was taken to a secluded courtyard. The courtyard is planted with all kinds of rare and exotic grasses, which further sets off the solid foundation of the Xu family.

"Your Majesty, are you still satisfied?" Xu Yuanchun asked with a smile at Wanli.

"Hmm."

"By the way, Changning Hou is in the courtyard next to you, just across a wall."

"Alright, alright, I'm a little tired, you guys go down first." Wanli waved his hand impatiently.

Xu Yuanchun smiled awkwardly, and then retreated with the ministers.

Suddenly, only Zhang Yun, Wanli and Feng Bao were left in the courtyard.

"It's really magnificent, I think this Xu Mansion is about to catch up with my palace." As soon as Xu Yuanchun left, Wanli immediately said angrily.

Zhang Yun smiled and didn't pick up the conversation.

"I know that your new wife is Xu Yuanchun's sister-in-law. It was for your sake of your face that I didn't reprimand him just now. ”

"Thank you to the emperor." Zhang Yun cast a grateful glance at Wanli.

"You go and bang him, keep him low-key. Previously, someone impeached the Xu family for being called Xu Bancheng, but I didn't believe it, but today, I believe it. ”

......

That night, Zhang Yun called Xu Yuanchun and his wife, and knocked on the side to convey the meaning of Wanli to them.

After Xu Yuanchun heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat and arched his hand at Zhang Yunyi. "Thank you brother-in-law for reminding me, my Xu family has been a bit arrogant these days. I'm going to warn the children below to keep a low profile, open more academies, and subsidize the people. ”

"Sister, brother-in-law. There are too many places in your Xu family, I advise you to make a move as soon as possible, otherwise you will be killed sooner or later. ”

"Brother-in-law, this land is not easy to sell. It was not easy for my Xu family to save this family business, how could I sell it cheaply at will. ”

Seeing that he didn't let go, Zhang Yun had to sigh, "Okay, be careful yourself." ”

Anyway, I have already reminded that 240,000 acres of land, if Wanli knows about it, he must be confiscated.

Then he looked at Zhu Yu and said with a smile: "Everything is fine in Ziyi, please rest assured sister." ”

"Well, she handed it over to you, and I naturally felt at ease."
