"Commander Zheng, look!"

Just when Zheng He looked at the shore and secretly made a decision in his heart.

Liu Zhong, the commander of the right side of the fleet, seemed to have discovered something, and pointed to the shore to remind Zheng He.

Coming back to his senses, Zheng He looked in the direction of his finger.

A piece of white flags, paper money flying.

"This ......"

Such a scene made Zheng He slightly stunned.

Glancing at Liu Zhong beside him, the two of them looked back at the back of the fleet in unison.

There was a lonely ship, and between the huge sails, there were also soul-attracting flags flying.

Looking at the boat that made his heart tug all the way, Zheng He muttered, "It's to pick them up." ”

"Crackling...... Crackling......"

When the first ship docked, the sound of firecrackers sounded along with the cheers of the people watching the excitement.

Taking a deep breath and looking at the welcoming team, Zheng He was the first to get off the boat.

"Hahaha, Brother Zheng hasn't seen you for a long time."

As soon as Zheng He's foot touched the ground, a hearty laugh rang out.

Looking up, Zheng He saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, King Han, King Zhao, and King Yue looking at him with a smile.

And the hearty laughter just now was the king of Han who walked over quickly.

"His Royal Highness the King of Han!"

Zhu Gaoxu, who walked over and opened his hand to hug him, arched his hand.

Zheng He said a word of unaccompaniment, bypassed the other party, and walked towards Zhu Chubby, who was looking at him with a smile.

A smile froze on his face, and a trace of annoyance flashed in Zhu Gaoxu's eyes, and he withdrew his outstretched hand.

Zhu Gaoyu, who was standing beside Zhu Chubby, couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene.

has been with Zheng He for so long, and he knows each other very well.

On this kind of formal occasion, Zheng He is very well-behaved, and he also knows how to be proportionate.

Even if he is familiar with Zhu Gaoxu, he will not leave the prince by his side and chat with Zhu Gaoxu.

"The commander of the treasure ship envoy Zheng He visited His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is blessed with Jin'an."

Really.

Zheng He, who bypassed Zhu Gaoxu, came to Zhu Fatpang and bowed respectfully.

"Good, good... Hurry up, it's hard Eunuch Zheng. ”

Eunuch is not an insulting title, in the Ming Dynasty, eunuch was an official position, and only the eunuch in charge of the twelve eunuchs was qualified to be called so.

If you call him like this, an ordinary eunuch will not only be unhappy, but will also annoy you.

The palace with strict rules, calling him a eunuch is not a slap on his ass, but a harm to him.

"The foolish brother is not sensible, and he has been taken care of by Eunuch Zheng along the way."

After Zheng He got up, Zhu Chupang took his hand and thanked him again and again.

This is the cleverness of Zhu Chubby.

The old man didn't let him supervise the country, he didn't ask about state affairs at all, and just opened his mouth as a brother, thanking Zheng He for taking care of Zhu Gaoyu along the way.

"Haha, what the eldest brother said is right." Zhu Gaoyu also smiled and agreed, and arched his hand towards Zheng He: "Along the way, Mr. Zheng has taught me a lot of things, which has benefited my foolish brother a lot!" ”

"Your Highness praised it falsely, and the minister just did his duty."

Zheng He hurriedly dodged away and shook his head modestly.

"Okay, big brother, don't we still have important things, let's talk about it when we get back."

Zhu Gaoxu, who walked back, saw that the three of them were chatting happily, and interrupted with some pantothenic acid in his heart.

"Oh, yes, yes, you see my memory."

Zhu Chupang suddenly raised his forehead, and said in a serious voice: "The emperor's message!" ”

Zheng He and the others hurriedly knelt down.

"Your Excellency, please Saint Ann!"

"I'm there."

"You are not afraid of hardships, go overseas, overcome thorns and thorns, and promote the prestige of our Ming Dynasty, and I comfort them."

"Let the fleet dock to rest, arrange the cargo personnel on board, and let the king of Yue take over. Zheng He led the officers and soldiers of the fleet into Beijing to wait for the reward, and after the celebration, he will talk about it again, admire this! ”

Hearing this order, Zheng He glanced at Zhu Gaoyu.

Zhu Gaoyu smiled at him.

"Thanksgiving!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, whether the envoys of various countries will enter Beijing with the ministers?"

After getting up, Zheng He glanced at Zhu Gaoyu again and asked Zhu Fatpang how to arrange the envoys of various countries.

"You just go back with me, the affairs of the envoys, the father and the emperor have been handed over to the fourth brother, and the ceremony of all nations will be arranged by him." Zhu Fatpang talked about the arrangements of the imperial court, and there was no trace of dissatisfaction with this in his expression.

Zhu Gaoyu stepped forward with a smile and said to Zheng He: "Yes, you guys go back first." ”

Glancing at the envoys of various countries who were disembarking, the smile on the corner of Zhu Gaoyu's mouth disappeared a little, and he said slowly: "They are from a wild land, they don't understand the rules of my Ming Dynasty, and if they don't explain it, it's not good to collide with their father." ”

Zheng He pinched it violently in his heart, and he felt that the explanation in Zhu Gaoyu's mouth was mixed with other meanings.

Although there was a guess in his heart, Zheng He did not speak.

Although he has been going to sea all year round, he has also been in the palace for a long time, and he still knows what he can ask and what he can't ask.

During the time when several people were talking, the people of the fleet had already begun to disembark one after another.

Lu Zhen, who had already discussed with Zhu Gaoyu, took the officials and interpreters of the Ministry of Rites to welcome the envoy to the side first, waiting for the next performance.

The cargo ships were approaching the unloading dock next to them, and the people from the Chamber of Commerce were already waiting.

As for Xia Yuanji and the people of Tobe, they have been stared at by the old man.

In the words of the old man.

Raiding your house during this period of time has already made your household fat enough, and if you dare to worry about my money, don't blame me for turning my face.

Therefore, the household department can only regretfully give up and plan to make another progress.

This made Xia Yuanji's flesh hurt very much.

"Your Highness, the last general has returned with his brothers."

As the last ship docked, a hundred households with a white belt around his waist walked down from the boat, came to Zhu Gaoyu, knelt down on one knee and whispered a report.

Zhu Gaoyu, who had already restrained his smile when the fleet docked, stretched out his hand to help Baihu, and nodded to Zhu Fatpang and the others.

Zhu Fatpang, who understood the next arrangement, took a deep breath and instructed a eunuch next to him: "Go and invite Wang Gongzi and them to come!" ”

Soon, a group of people dressed in linen and filial piety came over under the guidance of the eunuchs.

"Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

After the salute was finished, Zhu Chupang said with a heavy expression: "Go and bring your father back." ”

The young man in filial piety clothes at the leader kowtowed again with red eyes, and walked to the boat leaning against the shore with a few servants behind him.

In addition to the youth, hundreds of people of all ages and children came out of the crowd, and they followed the steps of the youth to the side of the boat, ready to take their father, son, and brother home.

The ladies knelt on the ground and whispered to the boat.

At this scene, whether it was the soldiers who got off the boat, or the people who were watching, as well as Zhu Fatpang and others, their faces were a little sad.

"Woooooo

When the young man and his servant came out carrying a small coffin, ten trumpeters standing by the side of the boat raised their trumpets with white cloth in their hands and blew a desolate wail.

The voice seemed to be a call, calling for those soldiers who died overseas that it was time to go home.

Listening to the desolate sound of the horn, Zhu Gaoyu closed his eyes slightly and faced the sea.

"My robe, my soul returns!"

In a somewhat oppressive atmosphere, the urns of the fallen soldiers finally returned to the arms of their loved ones.

As the last urn was placed, Zhu Gaoyu strode forward and said coldly: "Take someone to commit a crime!" ”

"Whoa... Whoa..."

The sound of chains grinding against each other rang out from the cabin, and everyone on the shore turned their heads to look.

I saw a group of unkempt people, escorted by soldiers, staggering out.

At the front is a skinny, skinny man with heavy shackles.

Judging from his tall skeleton, this man should have been very strong.

Scold!

The cold knife was unsheathed, and Zhu Gaoyu came to the young man holding the spiritual position with the knife in his hand.

Handing the knife over, Zhu Gaoyu looked at his reddish eyes and pointed at the tall prisoner with heavy shackles.

"Son of Alekunal, your father died at his hands."

"The revenge of killing your father, I brought him to you."

Hearing this, the young man looked at Zhu Gaoyu gratefully, and handed the spiritual seat in his hand to the cousin next to him.

He didn't reach out to take the knife, but first buckled his head gratefully to Zhu Gaoyu, thanking Zhu Gaoyu for giving him the opportunity to avenge his father, and then took the knife with trembling hands, and walked towards Alecunel's son with cold eyes.

At the same time, Wang Jin led hundreds of officers to the other family members holding the urn, pulled out the knife from his waist, and handed it to them.

The sad family members who were holding the urn of their loved ones looked at the handle of the knife in front of them for a long time, and there was a trace of other emotions in their numb eyes.

One, two, three...

One by one, trembling hands grasped the hilt of the knife, there were old people, children, and even women.

They carried some heavy steel knives, and under the guidance of Wang Jin and other officers, they walked to the opposite side of the prisoners.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this... Is this appropriate? ”

Looking at the families of the fallen soldiers who were walking towards the prisoners, Zheng He asked Zhu Chupang with some concern.

He originally thought that Zhu Gaoyu asked people to bring these people back because he had an explanation to the imperial court.

But he didn't expect it.

The role of these prisoners turned out to be like this.

"You can rest assured of that." Zhu Fatpang soothed: "Your Majesty said, as long as you can appease the hearts of the families of the fallen soldiers and make the people feel at ease, not to mention hundreds of heads, even thousands are worth it." ”

Hearing that even His Majesty agreed, Zheng He's heart relaxed.

He can still bear overseas affairs, if he makes a mistake in front of so many people, he can't carry it for Zhu Gaoyu.

"Ready!"

Wang Jin, who served as the supervisor and beheader, saw that the families of the fallen soldiers had been led to the prisoners by the officers.

He raised a command flag high and waved it down heavily under the horrified eyes of the envoys of various countries watching from a distance.

"Slash!"

"Ahh

Hearing the order, Wang Jinghong's son, Wang Zhen, roared angrily and slashed down at the numb head.

Not to be outdone, the others, blessed by grief and hatred, forgot the fear of killing, roared and raised their knives to slash down.

July 13 of the ninth year of Yongle.

In front of the tributary envoys of various countries, Da Ming beheaded the other royal family members of the mountain country of Ceylon except for Alekhner.

This move severely shocked the envoys of various states, so that they learned the first rules as soon as they set foot on the land of the Ming Dynasty.

The Great Tomorrow is inviolable.

And just when the imperial court was bustling with the preparation of the Great Ceremony, a group of people disguised as merchants and refugees gathered in a valley dozens of miles away from Qufu, preparing to carry out an operation that shocked the ancient and modern.
