Two years later, three years later.

Three and a half years have passed since the fourth year of Jianwen was changed to the thirty-fifth year of Hongwu.

In the past three and a half years, Daming has recuperated, and the vitality that has been fought out in the past four years has begun to slowly recover.

Under a series of national policies, the treasury began to gradually fill.

With the money, the Yongle Emperor was finally able to let go of his hands and feet, and first built the Longjiang Shipyard in the Songhua River basin north of Liaodong and south of Nurgan Dusi.

The ships needed for the treasure fleet of the Ming Dynasty have all been built, and now it is the beginning of the spring of the third year of Yongle, and it is also the day when the imperial court set the day to go to the West.

The new treasure ship built from Longjiang Shipyard has come to Yingtianbao Shipyard from the north along the coastline of Daming, and the treasure ship built and repaired by Yingtianbao Shipyard is one place, which is the starting point of Ma Bao's voyage to the West.

This is a major event in the Ming Dynasty, and it is a big day to go to the West, and Zhu Song will naturally appear.

Ma Bao was wearing a python robe given by Emperor Yongle, and he was wearing a cloak given by King Han, and he came to Zhu Di and knelt down.

Zhu Di looked at Ma Bao with a smile and said.

"Ma Bao, today is a big day for you to set the sun, raise the prestige of my Ming Dynasty, and maintain the friendship of the countries of the Nanyang countries, I will make you the treasure ship envoy today, give you a new name, and from today you will be called Zheng He."

When Zheng He heard this, he bowed his hand and said respectfully: "Minister, Zheng He, will definitely live up to the emperor's trust!" ”

Zhu Di smiled and helped Zheng He up, and then whispered in Zheng He's ear.

"You take the treasure fleet, you have to secretly find Jianwen's traces, find Jianwen, bring him back, and if you can't bring it back, you will be killed on the spot!"

Zheng He nodded heavily and replied in a low voice.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Zheng He retreated to the side, and at this time, Wang Jinghong also came to the emperor and knelt down.

"The Emperor bows to Jin'an!"

"Zhen'an, get up, the prince used to serve by the side of Emperor Taizu Gao, his heart is as careful as a hair, no matter how big or small, today I will appoint you as the deputy envoy of the treasure ship, and go to the West with Zheng He, I am very relieved."

"It's not too early, today's calm is God's blessing for my Daming, and for my Damingbao fleet to set sail smoothly, you two hurry up and board the ship, I am waiting for the two of you to return as soon as possible."

"Obey the order!"

After the main envoy and deputy envoy of the treasure ship got on the ship, the gongs and drums were noisy, the firecrackers rang out, the treasure shipyard was not lively, and the people surrounded three or four circles inside and outside to see the lively people, and saw Zhu Di's figure from a distance, and the people shouted long live, which made Zhu Di's heart very happy.

Zhu Di looked at the people who were kneeling towards him, waved his hand in the direction of the people, and said to Zhu Song on the side with a smile.

"After the Jingjing, the national strength has recovered well, and the people really kneel, calling me a long live is more comfortable than drinking honey."

Zhu Song replied with a smile: "The emperor's exploits can be seen by the heavens, and the people can also see them. ”

"It's a pity that those orphans can't see it." Zhu Di narrowed his eyes: "In the past few years, you have caught a lot of orphans in Jingnan, but none of them know Jianwen's whereabouts, where do you say Jianwen has gone?" Will he really fly to the sky and become a god? ”

Zhu Song pondered the emperor's words carefully, and then replied: "Then it shouldn't be, Zhu Yunwen has any merits that are enough to become an immortal, obviously not, and the courtiers don't want the emperor, know too much about alchemy and becoming an immortal, the emperor must not follow the path of Qin Shi Huang." ”

Zhu Di laughed after hearing this.

"Am I such a fool? The first emperor was wise and martial, but in his later years, he did not look down on life and death, what a pity, Qin II died, it was because of him that he made a wedding dress for the Han Dynasty for 400 years. ”

"The Tatars in the north have begun to be dishonest again, the country repairs treasure ships, and now the treasure fleet has successfully gone to the Western Ocean, and has gradually moved away from the borders of the Ming Dynasty, I really want to simply send troops to annihilate them in one fell swoop, so that future generations will never suffer from war, what do you think?"

Zhu Di asked Zhu Song's advice as he walked.

Zhu Song pondered carefully when he heard this.

"The emperor's treasury of the Ming Dynasty is now, although it has been filled a lot, but the ceremony of repairing the Yongle ceremony has just been finalized now, a few years ago, the scholars of Xie Jin University repaired the "Taizu Record" well, and the ministers thought that the advanced scholars could return to the cabinet, and the Yongle ceremony could start to be repaired, as for the north, now it is still necessary to take harmony as the precious."

Before Zhu Di asked Zhu Song's opinion, he had actually asked the prince, and the prince's answer and Zhu Song's answer could be said to be surprisingly consistent.

"You and the boss have exactly the same meaning, they both want me not to fight for the time being, and to make peace with the north, I want to make peace with them, but do they want to make peace with me? I haven't been to fight outside the fortress for a few years, and they think that after the Ming Dynasty experienced civil strife, there would be no more majesty in the past, a group of shameless things. ”

"The people on the border of the Ming Dynasty are living in dire straits now, the boss doesn't understand, don't you understand?"

While speaking, the two brothers had already stepped down from the high platform.

"Fourth brother, people can't be killed, can Qianyuan break the cultural context of my Han people? If it can't be broken, people will never be able to kill it cleanly, and if you want to make the north truly peaceful, it is impossible to solve it by force alone. ”

"The fourth brother wants to fight his younger brother and support it, but now is really not the best time, if you want to fight, you have to wait a little longer, after all, our father is Emperor Wu, you want to be Emperor Wen, the two emperors of the Ming Dynasty are Emperor Wu, which is not in accordance with the rules, and the cultural governance still has to be grasped."

Although the prince and the king of Han said roughly the same thing, but the point that hit Zhu Di was different, the prince would only say that the people were suffering, and now the country should not go to war, and Zhu Song can say it every time he says it to Zhu Di's heart, that is, the so-called inheritance first, the founding emperor is Emperor Wu, and the second emperor According to the rules, you have to start grasping the country's cultural governance, where does your Yongle canon not repair the country's cultural governance?

"It makes sense, then wait, I really have itchy hands, I really want to seek a little peace for the people on the border, there are always ministers in the DPRK and China recently, I hope the country can give up the operation and management of Liaodong and recover the soldiers and horses in Liaodong to consolidate the border defense, what do you think."

Zhu Song didn't think about it after hearing this, and immediately denied it.

"Fourth brother, this is absolutely impossible, although Liaodong is outside the border of the Ming Dynasty and outside the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, but it is also the land of my Daming, the people living on the land of Liaodong are also the people of my Daming, we are not only not expanding the territory, but also losing the land, how can this be worthy of our father?"
