Today is a special day for Da Ming!
Because Zheng He had returned!
They even brought nearly a hundred kings and emissaries from various countries, claiming to be coming to pay their respects!
Outside Taihe Palace!
Flags fluttered!
For the first time ever, Zhu Di sent out nearly a thousand soldiers to welcome Zheng He!
In Taihe Palace!
The civil and military officials stood up!
The Crown Prince, the King of Han, the King of Zhao, and Zhu Zhanji stood at the front!
Everything showed the prestige of the Tian family.
Zheng He calmly passed through the guards of honor and stood outside the hall to wait.
The young eunuch outside the hall immediately shouted at the top of his voice,""The Imperial Supervisor, the Director of the Bureau of Ships, and the Commander of the Oceanic Treasure Fleet, Zheng He, are here to receive an audience!”
Today, Zhu Di was glowing with glory!
"Announce!"
Zheng He entered the palace and knelt down excitedly." I, Zheng He, pay my respects to Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please pay your respects!"”
"Zhen An!"
Zhu Di didn't want to sit down. He stood on the steps with his hands on his waist and walked down the steps.
Zheng He also stood up and walked forward. Looking at the Emperor whose hair had blossomed, his eyes were red. Finally, he stood in front of Zhu Di and kowtowed three times and nine times.
"Get up!" Zhu Di sighed.
Zheng He stood up.
Zhu Zhanji was the closest to him. This Zheng He was handsome and heavy, not like a eunuch, but more like a Confucian general!
Zhu Di recalled the past and sighed,"Ma Bao! During the Jingnan period, he was the vanguard of my right army. He was good at fighting and was definitely not inferior to a famous general. In these few years, he led the treasure fleet across the ocean and cut through the thorns to show off his strength overseas for my Ming Dynasty. He is my genius!”
Zheng He did not dare to accept it and bowed,""Relying on His Majesty's heavenly might, the Great Ming Dynasty's national fortune is prosperous and prosperous. How could Zheng He dare to cherish himself!”
Zhu Di laughed out loud." I'll take it as flattery if others say so. But I believe you!"”
Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi glanced at his son!
Han King Zhu Gaoxu also looked over!
Zhu Gaosui, the King of Zhao, did not hide the smile in his eyes.
Why are you all looking at me?
Zhu Zhanji was very uncomfortable. The smile of the smiling tiger was a mocking smile. What did this third uncle mean?
Zhu Di turned around and said to his two sons,"Second Brother, Third Brother, Zheng He is back.”
Zhu Gaoxu, who was standing next to the Crown Prince, revealed a smug smile and said,""Brother Ma Bao, let's put business first before private matters. After the Emperor's banquet, we'll have a good gathering.”
Zhu Gaosui patted Ma He's shoulder like a good brother. His peach blossom eyes became manly as he smiled and said,"Second Brother has been talking about you for the past few days. If you don't come back soon, the river will freeze and we'll have to meet again tomorrow in spring.”
Zheng He had been smiling politely the entire time. When he heard Zhu Gaosui's words, he immediately apologized and came to Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi's side. He knelt down and greeted,""Crown Prince, the Holy Body is safe!"
Zhu Gaochi's small eyes were almost gone from laughing. Ma He knew how to be a good person. He smiled kindly and said,"Get up! Get up! I wanted to go over and say hello to you just now, but I couldn't squeeze in!”
Zheng He smiled humbly again,"Crown Prince, good luck and good health!"”
Zhu Zhanji saw his Second Uncle Zhu Gaoxu and Third Uncle Zhu Gaosui's angry faces and couldn't help but laugh. Zheng He had abandoned them in front of the civil and military officials to flatter the Crown Prince's father. This was the end of their friendship in the military!
Following that, Zheng He reported in detail to the civil and military officials about his harvest in Nanyang, where he had passed, what kind of tributes the various countries had sent, and so on!
After Zheng He finished his report, Zhu Di couldn't wait to give his grandson a look.
It's my turn!
Zhu Zhanji smiled and nodded at Zheng He. He walked to the middle of the civil and military officials, pinched his throat and shouted,""Announce the kings and envoys of the Nanyang countries to pay their respects!”
MMP！
Why was he a little feminine!
Zhu Zhanji wanted to shout again, but the king and envoys waiting outside had already begun to enter!
Zheng He looked at Zhu Zhanji in surprise and nodded with a smile.
It just so happened that Zhu Zhanji was not interested in these country bumpkin kings. He walked to Zheng He's side and whispered with a smile,""Zheng He, I've heard a lot about you."
"Zheng He sends his greetings to Grand Sun!”
"It doesn't matter if you ask or not," Zhu Zhanji said."Tell me about the Treasure Fleet when you have time!"”
Zheng He's spirits were lifted. He was most afraid that he would not have the chance to go to Nanyang again. Hearing that the future emperor was interested in the treasure ship, he suddenly had hope in his heart. He smiled politely and said,"Zheng He will definitely answer your question!”
"Your Treasure Fleet has tens of thousands of people at sea, but you didn't rob them?" Zhu Zhanji asked quietly.”
Zheng He was speechless.
Zhu Zhanji was surprised." It can't be, right? You really didn't snatch it?"”
Zheng He said awkwardly," You must be joking, Grand Sun. Zheng He is an envoy, and the Treasure Fleet is a public tool. How could Zheng He dare to plunder? Besides, the Nanyang countries are not far from the Celestial Empire. Once they report it, it will be treason. How could Zheng He dare to do that?"”
Zhu Zhanji muttered," Indeed. If you're too close, it'll be embarrassing to rob them…It'll be fine if you're further away. If you don't do a few things, how can you live up to the expectations of the people of the Ming Dynasty?"”
Zheng He was speechless.
Was this really his great-grandson?
The future emperor of Great Ming?
Zheng He raised his head and looked at the current emperor. He suddenly felt that his grandson was very similar to Zhu Di's alternate account. Back then, the King of Yan, Zhu Di, treated the Mongolians the same way. He would snatch whatever he could. However, after becoming the emperor, he began to pay attention to the coming of the dynasty and create a prosperous atmosphere!
Zhu Zhanji whispered," Imperial Grandfather has already put me in charge of the Department of Ships. You are the director of the Department of Ships. Let's discuss how to make the Department of Ships work. I heard that there is a continent in the far west. There are many countries there. I think the Treasure Fleet should at least go around to show the true might of our Ming Dynasty.”
Zheng He was shocked. His final destination was the Holy Land of Mecca, but his grandson was even further than he had thought. He felt a surge of emotion in his heart. It was just like how the emperor often said that he would die on horseback. If he wanted to die, he would die on the sea!
