I Want Someone From Fourth Brother, Zheng He!
Inside the King Yan Residence.
The King of Yan, Zhu Di, was currently in the meeting hall, discussing with his subordinates, Zhu Neng, and the others about the planning work after the Tibetan uprising.
Because it was located in Beiping, the capital of the Yuan Dynasty could be directly used as the king's residence.
therefore
Zhu Di's Jiufan naturally lacked the construction of the palace compared to other vassal kings.
However, it was precisely because it was located in Beiping that they had to consider the situation of fighting against the Mongol Empire.
Even if he did not take the initiative to attack, he would have to spend some effort on passive defense.
How much grain could be transported up north and when, these were all matters that needed to be planned in advance.
While everyone was discussing, Princess Yan, Xu Miaoyun, walked in with a plate of fruits.
"Generals, you've worked hard!"
Xu Miaoyun, the princess consort of Yan, said as she placed the fruit plate on the empty seat on the table." Come, everyone, have some fruit and rest!”
"Thank you, Sister-in-law!"
The generals cupped their fists in unison and saluted Princess Xu Miaoyun.
Those who were able to participate in this meeting in the King Yan's residence were all the trusted aides of Zhu Di, the King of Yan.
Therefore, these people didn't address Xu Miaoyun as Princess Consort, but as sister-in-law.
This was to show their close relationship with the King of Yan, Zhu Di.
While the generals were busy eating fruits, Princess Xu Miaoyun strolled to the side of Prince of Yan Zhu Di and whispered in his ear.
Zhu Di was shocked when he heard this and immediately called the generals to return to the camp first. The matter of grain and fodder would be discussed another day.
After saying that, everyone left.
The Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, hurriedly extended his hand to Xu Miaoyun and asked,""Let me see!"
Princess Xu Miaoyun took out the unopened letter from her bosom and said,"" It was sent back from Qiongzhou 800 miles away…"
Zhu Di took down the sword hanging on the wall and opened the letter.
After a long time, when Zhu Di finished reading the letter in his hand, he frowned.
Consort Xu Miaoyun asked with concern,""What's wrong? Is King Qiong unwilling?"
Zhu Di handed the letter to the princess consort and said,""He's not willing. This kid's temper is getting more and more stubborn!”
"If this goes on, the court will not tolerate him sooner or later. At that time, what will Twelfth Brother do when he faces those dignified Confucian scholars?”
"Sigh!"
At this point, Prince Yan Zhu Di lowered his head and sighed again. He said worriedly,"I wonder if twelfth brother can subdue Yao Guangxiao.”
" That monk is arrogant. If he is not willing to help Twelfth Brother, then…"
Zhu Di didn't continue to think about it. His expression was a little painful.
This fourth brother was really worried about his twelfth brother!
Consort Yan, who was reading the letter, raised her head and asked Zhu Di,""King Qiong even asked you for a person. What do you think?”
Zhu Di was stunned when he heard the princess consort's words. He took the letter again.
Earlier, he had only seen the front. After knowing that Zhu Bai did not compromise, the Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, was a little angry.
Before he could read the contents, the letter was handed to the princess consort.
at this time
Zhu Di lowered his head and read the contents of the letter carefully.
"Fourth Brother, I want to ask you for someone. This person's surname is Ma and his name is San Bao. You gave him a name later, Zheng He.”
Seeing this, a figure appeared in Zhu Di's mind.
It was a young eunuch in his twenties.
Because of the family's harm, she was forced to enter the palace when she was young.
Later, he was assigned to Zhu Di, the King of Yan.
Later on, in the Battle of Zheng Zhuang, this young eunuch named Ma Sanbao displayed astonishing military talent and commanding ability.
From then on, Zhu Di named Ma Sanbao Zheng He!”
At this time, because he received Zhu Di's trust and promotion.
Zheng He had already become the Vice Domain Chief of Zhu Di's guards.
Zhu Di thought for a while and decided to give Zheng He to Zhu Bai.
Loving a general was important, but compared to the safety of his 12th brother, there were still many things that the King of Yan could give up.
He doted on his younger brother endlessly!
After reading the letter, Zhu Di gave a few simple instructions to the princess consort before personally setting off to find Zheng He.
A moment ago, Zhu Di was furious because of his twelfth brother's stubborn temper.
However, as long as Zhu Bai had a request, no matter how busy or angry the King of Yan, Zhu Di, would definitely agree!
Walking out of the meeting hall and arriving at the courtyard of the Imperial Residence, Zhu Di saw the Vice Domain Chief Zheng He from afar. He was currently leading a dozen Imperial Guards to patrol the area.
Zhu Di looked at Zheng He and hesitated for a moment. Then, he raised his hand and said,""Zheng He!"
Ta Ta Ta--
Hearing the summons of Prince Yan Zhu Di, Zheng He immediately ran over.
"Your Highness, what are your orders?"
Looking at the strong Zheng He in front of him, the Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, still felt a little reluctant.
"Good!"
Zhu Di raised his hand and patted Zheng He's broad shoulder." Come, drink with me!"”
"Your Highness, it's your subordinate's turn to patrol the Prince's mansion today…" Zheng He said awkwardly.
The Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, waved his hand and said loudly,""This king grants you special permission to rest for a day today. Come, drink with this king!”
finished
Zhu Di led Zheng He to the hall where they usually received guests.
He arranged for the servants to serve a plate of fried peanuts and a pot of wine. The two of them sat down and drank.
Zheng He, who had never sat across from Zhu Di before, was now not only sitting across from Zhu Di, but also drinking with him.
Looking at the situation in front of him, Zheng He felt uneasy.
Zhu Di drank his wine and told Zheng He everything he knew about his visit.
After hearing Zhu Di's words, Zheng He jumped up from his chair." Why does Your Highness want to chase me away?”
Zhu Di, who was holding a wine glass in his hand, shook his head and said,"It's not that this king is chasing you away. On the contrary, this king is placing you in an important position!”
Zheng He, who had stood up, was a little confused. Under Zhu Di's persuasion, he sat down again.
Zhu Di said unhurriedly," You've been with This Prince for quite some time. Prince Xiang Zhu Bai, who is also the current Prince Qiong Zhu Bai, do you know what relationship he has with This Prince?"”
Zheng He, who was sitting down awkwardly, answered honestly,""This subordinate knows that King Qiong is your highness 'younger brother, a blood relative!”
"Yes ~"
Prince Zhu Di nodded and continued,"" Now, my brother is in danger. I'm far away in Nanjing, and next year, I'll go to Beiping to save my brother..."
Zhu Di fell silent.
Then, he continued," I want to send someone, the person I trust the most, to Qiongzhou to protect my brother!”
At this moment, Zheng He understood Zhu Di's meaning. He stood up suddenly and held the wine glass in his hand."Your Highness, Zheng He is willing to go to Qiongzhou in your place and protect His Highness King Qiong with his life!”
Zhu Di also raised his glass and stood up. He toasted Zheng He and said,""Good!"
"With you going, this king can be at ease!”
Then, the two of them downed the wine in their glasses.
