"I, the eunuch Zheng He, kowtow to my emperor!”
Accompanied by a vigorous and powerful voice, Zheng He kowtowed respectfully in front of Zhu Di. Zhu Zhanhe finally saw the true appearance of this famous eunuch!
Zheng He was tall and burly, with an imposing appearance.
His face was sharp and angular, his eyes were like lightning, his eyebrows were like swords, and his body was as straight as a pine tree. He did not have the wretched look of a eunuch in the palace at all. Instead, he looked even more powerful!
Zhu Zhanhe looked at Zheng He and thought to himself, So this is that Zheng He. He really lives up to his reputation!
When this fierce man followed Zhu Di to settle the crisis, he had made great contributions at Zheng Village Dam. He was also a ruthless man who could fight well. Later on, Zhu Di gave him the surname "Zheng"!
Eunuchs were eunuchs, but eunuchs were not necessarily eunuchs.
There were only twelve eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, and the rest could only be called eunuchs and envoys.
Zheng He was the eunuch in charge of the internal officials, and he was in charge of all the internal officials in the world. The head eunuch!
When a eunuch reached Zheng He's level, he would have achievements and honor. He was the only one among the eunuchs.
Even Wang Zhen, Liu Jin, and other eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty regarded Zheng He as their idol and wanted to reach his level.
Of course, they didn't have the ability to do so.
When Zhu Di saw that Zhu Di had come, he felt relieved and smiled."Beloved minister, rise!"
Zheng He stood up and said,"Your subject respectfully reports!"”
"With the help of the ministers, the preparations for the voyage have been completed. The emissaries from the western countries are also ready to set off!”
"This voyage will start from Taicang and head south to Changle for supplies. It will go to Boni, Java, Jiugang and other places in the South China Sea. Then, it will go to Sumatra-Ceylon, Guri, Adan, and finally to Brawa, Malin and other places!”
"Now, we are only waiting for Your Majesty's orders. I will lead the army to sail far away and spread the might of the Great Ming Empire to the four seas, and show Your Majesty's great kindness to all countries!”
"Good!" Zhu Di was overjoyed.
At this moment, a group of people dressed in colorful clothes walked into the hall. When they saw Zhu Di, they immediately beamed with joy and kowtowed. Their repeated kowtows caused the hall to ring with thumping sounds.
They did not know what to say, but the respect and admiration in their eyes for Zhu Di was obvious!
The officials all distanced themselves from him. Some of them even covered their mouths and noses in disgust.
Zhu Zhanhe looked at this group of foreigners and thought that this should be Zheng He's fifth voyage to the West. This time, he should be here to report his route.
These foreigners were the emissaries of the western countries.
Of course.
From the looks of it, all the civil and military officials in the court despised these foreigners.
Judging from the situation of these foreigners, their admiration for Zhu Di came from the bottom of their hearts.
Da Ming's power spread far and wide.
In the years that Zheng He had been on diplomatic missions to the West, many foreigners had said that they wanted to be born in the Ming Dynasty in their next life!
After Zheng He reported the flight route to Zhu Di, Wang Yan shouted to retreat!
However, the officials did not leave.
They wanted to attend Zhu Di's banquet to send off Zheng He and the foreign envoys.
At this moment, Wang Yan shouted,"Your Majesty is holding a banquet in the Hall of Worship!"”
As soon as he said this, the officials all happily headed towards the Hall of Respect. In the past, the Great Ming Dynasty would hold a grand feast in the Hall of Heaven's Tribute. As for sending Zheng He off, it was held in the Hall of Respect.
When Zhu Zhanhe saw that the officials were about to leave, he immediately stood up and slipped inside, planning to leave.
"I'm finally leaving this place!"
"Can't see me!"
"Can't see me!" Zhu Zhanhe muttered in his heart.
However, Zhu Di's gaze never left Zhu Zhanhe. Seeing that Zhu Zhanhe was about to leave, he immediately became furious.
This bastard.
How much do you want to hide from me?
"Zhan He!"
"You go too!"
Zhu Zhanhe's body paused and he could only say helplessly,""I understand!"
Zhu Zhanhe turned around and rolled his eyes, feeling extremely helpless.
To put it bluntly, this banquet was set up by Zhu Di to show the foreign envoys the wealth of the country.
During this period, those ministers would definitely praise Zhu Di with all their might. It was just a rainbow fart scene.
Zhu Zhanhe followed the officials to the Jinshen Palace Hall and immediately heard the pleasant sound of palace music. Waves of fragrance filled the air and refreshed the heart. The fragrance of food mixed in, making one's appetite increase.
As soon as he entered the gate, he saw a bustling scene. Flowers were blooming everywhere, buzzing and dancing butterflies. The dancers of the Education Bureau were singing and dancing, plucking the strings and rotating the axis. Their voices lingered, and they were beautiful.
The officials sat down according to their positions. The haze on their faces that was caused by Zhu Zhanhe was instantly swept away by this prosperous scene.
Wang Yanjing quietly came to Zhu Zhanhe's side.""The heir of the Han King! His Majesty asked you to sit anywhere. Where would the prince like to sit? This servant will arrange it for you!”
On the high platform, Zhu Di and the crown prince's grandson sat together.
After that was the upper table, where the important officials of the imperial court sat, and then the middle table, where most of the officials sat.
As for the lower table, there was no lower table. No official was willing to admit that he was a "lower"!
Zhu Zhanhe raised his eyebrows and watched for a while, thinking that it was better to be quiet. He said seriously,"I'll sit at the kid's table!"
