The cook on the treasure ship didn't dare to let Chen Kan wait for a long time, after all, Chen Kan is now the nominal supreme commander of this fleet.

Soon, the steaming fish soup and tender fish belly were delivered to his room.

After a bowl of soup and tasting it slowly, Chen Kan's thoughts slowly drifted back to Jingshi.

I don't know what the big-eyed cute girl is doing now.

Although there are only two sides, the big-eyed cute girl has always appeared frequently in Chen Kan's dreams recently, causing Chen Kan to wake up every day like a thief and change out of last night's pajamas and pajamas, for fear that others will find out that there are some strange things on them.

Maybe it's just thinking about it day and dreaming about it night.

If the original history continues, then she will soon be married to someone else by Zhu Di.

I'm going to have to speed up.

A sense of urgency inexplicably rose in his heart, Chen Kan knew very well that if he wanted to marry a big-eyed cute girl, even if Fang Xiaoru endorsed him, it would not be enough to rely on the credit he had made now.

But in addition to cutting the feudal domain, what other opportunities for meritorious service can I get next?

After thinking about the major events that occurred in history during the period when Zhu Di ascended the throne, he could only think that the Great Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty Mengting, Zhijin Kun Timur, was killed by the tribal chieftain Gui Lichi in this year, and Gui Lichi established himself as a khan, and was overthrown by the Taishi Arutai, who had mastered the military and political power of Mongolia.

At the same time, Arutai broke with the Vulture Polo, and Mongolia officially split into Eastern Mongolia and Western Mongolia. Its Middle Mongolia is called Mongolia, and Western Mongolia is called Warat.

However, these are too far away from Chen Kandu, and now that the country is unstable, it is impossible for Zhu Di to send troops to the grassland at this time, even if he sends troops, on the battlefield, it is not a place where Chen Kan, a rookie, can take credit.

So what else is close to him, and with his current status, he can get a meritorious opportunity?

After meditating for a long time, it really made Chen Kan think of a thing.

Revision of the Yongle Canon

Because at present, in front of Zhu Di, the urgent thing to solve is not as simple as cutting the feudal domain.

There is also the control of Confucianism.

Since the prevalence of Zhu Lixue in the former Song Dynasty, Zhu Di's seizure of the throne by force was regarded by the people of the world as a perverse act of rebellion, although Fang Xiaoru's dedication to a large extent made many young scholars realize that Zhu Di was not as unbearable as the old literati in the Jianwen Dynasty, but this could not fundamentally solve the problem of ideological cognition.

And if he proposed to revise the Yongle Canon, he would be able to solve Zhu Di's unbearable state in the hearts of the world's scholars to a large extent.

The advantages of compiling the Yongle Hall are twofold, one is that a large number of literati can be placed under the direct control of the imperial court, buried in the compilation of concise and concise displays, and have no intention of interfering with political affairs. On the other hand, it can also be used to let the people of the world understand that the political direction of the Yongle Dynasty is definitely not as simple as governing the country by force.

If this matter is done well, the credit will definitely not be inferior to the feudal domain.

Thinking of the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, Chen Kan's mood suddenly brightened.

It's just that the most important thing at the moment is to send Zhu Jixi to Taiyuan smoothly.

"Big-eyed cute girl, wait for me!"

After drinking the fish soup in the bowl in one gulp, I suddenly felt full of fighting spirit.

Putting down the bowl, standing up and moving his body, Chen Kan went out and walked towards the bottom of the treasure ship.

The main owner, Zhu Jixi, was imprisoned in a room on the lowest floor of the treasure ship that Chen Kan was riding, and Shi Wen led hundreds of people around the room, guarding day and night.

Seeing Chen Kan coming down from upstairs, Shi Wen hurriedly greeted him.

"My lord, why are you here?"

Chen Kan waved his hand to signal that they didn't need to be polite, and said with a smile: "Come down and take a look, after all, it is a repeat offender in the imperial court, and you should feel at ease when you take a look." ”

"Alright, open the door, I'll go in and have a look."

As soon as Chen Kan gave the order, the three Jinyi lieutenants each took out a key from a different iron box and began to tinker with the copper lock on the gate.

The copper lock is specially made, with three keyholes, and the door cannot be opened without any key.

After a few breaths, the copper lock opened, and Chen Kan pushed open the door and walked in.

The room where Zhu Jixi was imprisoned was also specially fortified, with huge logs sealing off the whole room, and the logs were connected by special mortise and tenon joints, and once one of the logs was destroyed, the other logs would collapse at the same time, crushing the people in the room into meatloaf, and the bottom of the boat was also reinforced with ironwood.

In such a room, not to mention Zhu Jixi with shackles and shackles, even if he didn't bind his hands and feet, and gave him a knife, he might not be able to escape, not to mention that there were hundreds of Jinyi captains waiting around the room day and night.

There is a fist-sized hole in the log wall that is used as a window, and when Chen Kan came in, he saw Zhu Jixi sitting on a stool, looking out intently through the hole, and the food delivered on the table was untouched.

The lighting was made of two giant butter waxes fixed to the candlestick, and the smoke coming out of the wick made Chen Kan unable to open his eyes.

Maybe it was the sound of Chen Kan entering the door that made a noise to Zhu Jixi, who was in a daze, Zhu Jixi glanced back at Chen Kan, and then pulled a sneer on his face.

Chen Kan looked at him and beckoned outside, Shi Wen entered the room, and Chen Kan ordered: "Replace the candle with beeswax, this candle smokes your eyes." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Jixi's face finally softened a little, and he began to eat the cold dishes and rice on the table with chopsticks.

It's just that the shackles on his hands are too laborious, making it extremely difficult for him to put food in his mouth.

Eventually, after a few attempts, Zhu Jixi gave up his chopsticks and used his hands to knead the rice into small rice balls and put them in his mouth.

Chen Kan just stood at the door and watched him eat.

Zhu Jixi looked very elegant when eating, and it could be seen that even if he fell to this point, he was still trying to maintain the stability that a person in the royal family should have, as if the hysteria in the edict that day was just what Zhu Jixi did at that moment, and it had nothing to do with him now.

"My lord, it's changed."

Huge butter candles were replaced, and rows of bee-dense beeswax illuminated the dimly lit room.

The gentle river breeze outside the door dispersed the smoke in the room, Chen Kan sat opposite Zhu Jixi, and asked lightly, "Your Highness, is the food delicious?" ”

Zhu Jixi unhurriedly wrapped the last bite of rice in fish skin and put it in his mouth.

After chewing, swallow in one bite.

Only then did he look at Chen Kan and said slowly: "In the big river, used for steaming, the best taste is perch instead of sturgeon, and it must be accompanied by Taiyuan's red vinegar, green garlic in Guanzhong, old ginger in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, sturgeon is steamed and ruined, it should be slightly fried with autumn oil, accompanied by sweet and sour, in order to experience the deliciousness of sturgeon." ”
