Su Chen must have been worried about the possible emulation of the Japanese people, and after asking Jia Xu, he finally felt a lot more comfortable.

After all, this old fox does not leak anything, from the dispute between Wu and Yue to the end of the final surrender of the Yue Kingdom, and thoroughly understands the hearts of the people, no wonder after the original design killed Cao Ang and Dian Wei, he can still stand tall in Cao Ying, achieve such a high position as Taiwei, and live until the end of his life.

At the moment, Su Chen took a sip of tea comfortably, and felt no more annoying to listen to the cicadas, patted the old man's shoulder with a smile, got up and walked out of the pavilion.

"With the captain here, I should sit back and relax."

Jia Xu followed behind with his sleeves caged and whispered, "Your Majesty, this is unlucky, is it better to say less?" ”

"Why?"

"That's what Taishi Dong said in Luoyang back then."

Su Chen was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, strode with his hands in his hands, walked out of the middle palace, returned to the front palace, sent the old man away first, and then returned to deal with the backlog of government affairs.

Seeing the twists and turns coming back from the Western Regions, he frowned slightly, "General Su, Huo Hussar, and General Ma are unequaled, they have destroyed thirty-one countries and lowered twenty-four countries, and the remaining seventeen countries are also going to be taken in one go!" ”

Dian Wei and Xu Chu are like two door gods standing outside the Qinzheng Palace, and Zheng He, who serves inside, can't understand what Kai Wushuang is, but he can still understand the words behind.

He put his orchid finger to the corner of his mouth, and chuckled: "Your Majesty, the seventy-two countries of the Western Regions are already weak, and the strongest is only the strength of my Great Xia County, if it weren't for the Gobi and the desert as barriers, I'm afraid it would have been wiped out by the original Gang Division." ”

"Well, if the seventy-two countries gather into one country, it will have some strength, but it is a pity that it is scattered, even if the alliance is independent, then spread my will, give the Iron Buddha of the Liangzhou Department, and the Taishi over there, to supply grain and grass for Su Dingfang and Huo Quai, but it will inevitably be lost too much halfway, and supply points will be set up in the Western Regions Zhanmi and Changkang."

While speaking, Su Chen took up the pen to give approval for Su Dingfang's note, and then sent it to Xunyu in Zhongshu Province, a country with a population of 40 million, to support the expedition of more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, not to mention that there are Liangzhou and Xirong to assist and share the daily expenses of the treasury.

Zheng He was not in a hurry to leave after receiving the approval, but pointed to another book with a smile, "Your Majesty, General Su still has a book." ”

"And?"

Su Chen took the fold he was pointing to and looked at it, and couldn't help laughing, "Let the surrendered twenty-four countries send envoys to pay tribute?" It's really the original Datang set. ”

Zheng He pinched his orchid finger and said with a smile: "Foreign countries are ministers, and it is natural to pay tribute to the heavenly kingdom throughout the ages, not to mention that if Your Majesty is subdued from all over the world and unifies the six countries, the heavenly power cannot be violated, and you should be respected." ”

"It's true to unify the six countries, but it's still a little bit short of subduing the four seas, and only when the Japanese people are killed can it be regarded as truly subduing the four seas." Su Chen approved the piece and handed it to Zheng He together, and when he said this, he paused and continued: "Speaking of the Japanese Kou, how is the construction progress of the treasure ship now?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it has basically been built, and now it is already doing the final overhaul before it can be launched for sea trials."

"I'm going to see this trial with my own eyes!"

But no, Su Chen had seen the sea once before, and he still passed by in a hurry, and when he conquered the Wa Kingdom, he had already made up his mind to conquer it himself, so why should this big ship sit and adapt to it in advance.

After making up his mind to deal with the matter in hand, he went to the Zongmiao and told the emperors to go to the sea to have a look, which naturally made everyone agree, after all, most people have lived a lifetime and have never been to the sea.

"Come here, come here, which of you has been on a boat in the sea?" When Zhao Kuangyin heard this, he and Li Shimin hurriedly beckoned the unlocked emperor to gather in front of the offering table, Wu Zixun only stood at the entrance of the temple, he felt the wind gusting, and consciously moved to the side, standing with Dian Wei and Xu Chu.

Inside, Su Chen was surrounded by the emperor, and when he heard Zhao Kuangyin ask, he shook his head in unison, and Cao Cao frowned: "Does standing by the sea count?" ”

"Next!" Li Shimin set his eyes on Zhao Gou.

Zhao Kuangyin saw him looking at Zhao Gou, and wondered: "What do you see him doing?" ”

"yes, what do you see me doing?" Zhao Gou frowned as he held the score.

"Your Zhao Gou is the most capable emperor, and he must flee in battle, so I want to ask if he has ever run at sea."

The corners of Zhao Gou's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Zhao Kuangyin weakly.

Zhao Kuangyi on the other side also felt embarrassed, he felt that Li Shimin was attacking the east and west, and made fun of him by the way.

Zhao Kuangyin glanced at his younger brother and his descendants, felt embarrassed, and snorted coldly: "It's really the same lineage, lose the face of the old Zhao family, although the emperors behind the Zhu family are also incompetent, but they also have a little backbone." ”

"Hey, Lao Zhao, don't get involved with my old Zhu family." Zhu Yuanzhang took Queen Ma over from the small courtyard, accompanied by Zhu Di and Emperor Jiajing.

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business, Changsheng asked us to go to sea, do you want to go?"

"It's not nonsense, naturally I want to go!"

The emperors were excited, many of them were born in the palace, grew up in the palace, and never went out of the capital much in their lives, only those founding emperors, as well as people like Zhu Di, were just walking by land and wandering on the sea, which was never thought of.

Even the only female emperor, Wu Zetian, was quite excited, after she married into the Li family, even if she later became the emperor, the scope of her actions only expanded from the palace to Chang'an or Luoyang, the divine capital.

"So what are you waiting for, everyone is ready to prepare!" Li Shimin, like a tour guide in later generations, began to greet everyone, and asked Zhu Di to come over and talk about things on the sea, after all, in the Ming Dynasty, especially in his time, maritime trade was quite prosperous, and he could still show off in front of other emperors what scenery there was on the sea.

Everyone who listened was eager to immediately ask Su Chen to move the offering table over together.

Don't look at the emperors' excitement one by one, the news that Su Chen was going to Feiyungang to personally board the treasure ship for a trial voyage spread in the afternoon, and a group of civil and military officers were more excited than the emperors.

"Your Majesty think twice!"

Wang Lang's expression was serious, and he bowed his hand when he stepped forward, and there was a posture that Su Chen would not listen to persuasion, and he was about to hit the Golden Palace to death, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, how can you risk your life, the sea is turbulent, the wind and waves are not stopped, if there are three long and two short, what should I do?" The old minister is loyal to the monarch and the country, and he is willing to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire for His Majesty. ”

"Wang Situ, my old Cheng heard your abacus outside the palace!" Cheng Yanjin carried his axe and strode up the steps, and there was a huge burden hanging under the axe, which was to pack the bedding and pillows at home.

Su Chen sat on the dragon chair, looking at the generals, wanting to laugh but not laughing, suppressing his smile, he said as majestically as possible: "Zhuqing, you still have to wait a few days, you don't have to be in such a hurry, General Cheng, why do you still move all the bedding and pillows, do you plan to live in this hall?" ”

"I don't care, I'll just wait here, what if Your Majesty sneaks in with other generals and doesn't bring me, Qin Shubao, and Yu Chi Heizi? Isn't it, pharmacist? ”

Cheng Biting Jin is getting old, and he still looks like he was messing around with when he was young, no wonder he is called the Demon King of the Mixed World.

Li Jing, who was asked by him over there, also couldn't cry or laugh, and wanted to veto, but was stared at by Cheng Yanjin's copper bells, so he had to echo him and nodded.

"It's all, it's all there!" Zheng He stepped forward to make a round and said with a smile: "This treasure ship is big enough, even if the generals bring their guards together, it will be enough to accommodate it." ”

has been a eunuch for most of his life, Zheng He's every sentence is a thoughtful word, and it is not for nothing that he can stand tall in front of Zhu Di.

"What Zheng Dugong said, is also what I want to say, since the generals want to get on the ship, then together, by the way, call Li Dian from Longyang County, and Yantang Guan Lei Tong together, they have been stationed there for several years, I can't favor one over the other, I should let them follow around and see the scenery on the sea!"

Su Chen immediately made a decision and decided this matter, since he decided to take the ancestors there, then he would be more powerful, anyway, now that the north is different from the beginning, there is no need to worry that there are still people who want to rebel or something.

Subsequently, he comforted Lu Bu and Xiang Yu and them back, and ensured that everyone went together before sending these generals away, and soon after, with the order of the holy decree, he rode to Yantang Pass and Longyang County in an urgent manner for hundreds of miles, and received the order, Lei Tong and Li Dian, who accompanied the Son of Heaven to board the treasure ship for sea trial, suddenly put on their armor excitedly, said goodbye to their families, and took their guards out of the city overnight.

The emperor was going to Feiyungang, and the news of the rumored trial of the treasure ship built soon spread.

On the day of April 11, the Chinese civil and military officers in the court had already begun to pack up early, and Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Xuan, Xu Huang, Zhang He, Le Jin and other generals took the lead and went to the city gate to pick up Li Dian and Lei Tong, and then entered the palace together.

When the sun rose, Cheng Yanjin sat up directly from the bed, and noisily asked the maid to quickly change his clothes: "Hurry up, don't be late, wouldn't it be a joke if you fall behind!" ”

In fact, the generals in Yanjing are used to fighting, and now there is no enemy to fight, one by one they are panicked, and finally have the opportunity to go out in armor, which one is willing to lag behind, Zhao Yun got up early, and Ma Yunlu helped each other put on armor, and then rode out together.

"It's a pity that my eldest brother, second brother, and big brother followed General Su to the Western Regions, otherwise they could have followed him to take a boat."

"Maybe your brother will find you a brother and sister-in-law from the Western Regions to come back!"

Zhao Yun said with a smile, and Yu Guang caught a glimpse of his wife's angry face, and his chuckle turned into a hearty laugh, and the horse galloped out, provoking Ma Yunlu to chase after him with a gun.

Not far away, I met Lu Bu and Lu Lingqi, father and daughter, and there was a carriage next to it, and the Yan family was sitting in it, which was a posture that a family of three had to take with them.

"Zilong, don't look at a certain family with this look."

"Hehe, Yun Ke didn't say anything, it's because Wen Hou is not confident."

In the sunshine, Guan Yu rode the red rabbit, and Zhang Fei, Qin Qiong, Li Jing, and Li Xuanba came over with a smile and a smile, and after meeting with the people here, they went to the majestic imperial city together.

After having dinner in the imperial city, the dense banners of various colors were displayed in the wind and came out of Yanjing, the tooth flags with various surnames written on them, and the Great Xia banner with the white dragon pattern on a black background in the middle was hunting and flying in the sky.

The sturdy war horse sighed and stopped, the wind blew Su Chen's cloak in the air, he carried the Xia Wang sword at his waist, and galloped up, behind him were the generals who followed him, and the ancestral locomotive with many different laughs.

Tianshu clouds rolled, countless banners gradually extended to the east in the startled dust and smoke, the wolf riding the strings, the white horse Yicong, the tiger and the leopard rode roaring across the earth, and the two battalions of the tiger guard and the divine machine opened up, and marched forward mightily.
