The next day.
The blazing sun broke free from the shackles of darkness and slowly rose from the East Mountain.
The morning light pierced through the sky, the earth, and the rivers, shining on every inch of the land of the Ming Dynasty.
...
On the shore of the East Sea.
There was a faint humming sound, like the roar of a giant beast, coming from the end of the sea.
A moment later, the blurry sound suddenly expanded into a valiant long cry, which hit the cliff of the coastline and turned into a rumbling echo.
Rows of dark brown sailboats swept through the remaining fog on the sea majestically and sailed briskly.
The sea was immediately filled with the roar of sails and strong winds!
"Zheng He is back!"
"Lord Zheng He is back!"
On the coastline, countless people cheered.
The sound of firecrackers and shouts converged into Wang Yang.
Zheng He stood on the deck and looked at the people of the Ming Dynasty who had come to welcome him. Tears filled his eyes.
"Big Ming, I'm back!"
......
Wuwuwu--
The horn of longevity sounded.
Outside the Hall of Heaven's Tribute, armored soldiers of the Great Ming Dynasty were gathered.
Rows and columns, starting from the front of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, extended all the way to the outside of the Gate of Heaven Influence, all the way to the edge of the Vermilion Bird Gate.
It formed a majestic dragon that lay in the Ying Tian Prefecture.
In Fengtian Hall, all the civil and military officials were in court.
Prince Zhu Gaochi, King of Han Zhu Gaoxu, King of Zhao Zhu Gaotong, King of Liang Zhu Gaoyan, and Grand Sun Zhu Zhanji Zhu's five dragons were arranged in turn under the dragon position.
On the dragon throne, Zhu Di was wearing a golden dragon robe and sitting upright.
Inside and outside the palace, everything was solemn and solemn.
The eunuch shouted,"Eunuch of the Inner Palace, Director of the Bureau of Ships, Commander Zheng He of the Oceanic Treasure Fleet, has been ordered to meet-"
A tall and handsome man wearing a black veil walked into the hall.
"This subject, Zheng He, pays his respects to the Emperor!"
"Greetings, Emperor!"
Kowtow.
Zhu Di smiled and said in a clear voice,""Zhen An!"
Zheng He stood up and slowly walked towards the front of the hall.
Zhu Di also stood up and walked down the dragon stairs.
The two of them stood at the Zhu brothers 'seats and looked at each other. Zheng He's eyes reddened slightly." Your Majesty!"
He kowtowed again and bowed deeply.
Zhu Di put his hands on his hips and smiled.”
Then, he looked at the officials.
"Ma Bao, you have followed me in Yunnan since young.”
"When I was the King of Yan, you led my warhorse.”
"During the Battle of Jingnan, he was the vanguard of our right army.”
"He's capable of fighting and is definitely not inferior to a famous general of a generation!”
"In these few years, leading the Treasure Fleet to travel across the ocean, cutting through thorns and thorns, and showing off his might overseas, this is a genius of my Great Ming!”
Zheng He cupped his hands and said,"Relying on the Emperor's heavenly might, the Ming Dynasty's national fortune is prosperous and prosperous."”
"How would Zheng He dare to cherish himself!"
Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and looked at his beloved general whom he had not seen for many years. He was happy from the bottom of his heart.
Zhu Di turned around to look at Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaotong and said,""Eldest, Second, Third, Zheng He is back, why aren't you showing any appreciation?”
Zhu Gaochi and his brothers walked forward with a smile.
Zhu Gaochi chuckled." It's been two years. Haha, it's good that you're back. It's good that you're back."”
Zhu Gaoxu said,"Brother Ma Bao, let's first do business before private matters. After eating the Emperor's banquet, we'll eat our own."”
Zhu Gaosui patted Zheng He's shoulder." A while ago, Second Brother was talking about you every day. If you didn't come back soon, the river would freeze and we would have to meet again next spring. In a while, I'll call all of our old brothers from the Right Army over."
"Crown Prince, Princes, please give me a moment." Zheng He suddenly said.”
Then, he walked to Zhu Gaoyan and knelt down.
"Your Highness, King Liang, peace be upon you!"
The smiles of the three Zhu brothers froze.
Zhu Gaochi didn't think much of it and chuckled.
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui's faces turned darker than the bottom of a pot.
Zheng He had grown up with the two brothers. They had fished together and fought together. Everyone knew that they had a good relationship.
However, at this moment, Zheng He interrupted their conversation and turned to greet Zhu Gaoyan.
The two of them instantly lost some face.
Zhu Gaoyan grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth." Get up, get up. You don't have to be so polite."”
Zheng He said excitedly,"Zheng He is able to travel thousands of miles all because of Your Highness 'blessing."”
"Your Highness's all-purpose compass, map, and medicine have saved the lives of countless sailors.”
"If it wasn't for Your Highness's help, Zheng He would have been lost in the storm. How could he have returned to his homeland?”
"Zheng He represents the entire Treasure Fleet to thank Your Highness!”
After saying that, he kowtowed heavily again.
Zhu Gaoyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Zheng He was too honest.
Actually, he did it casually.
When Zheng He left, he was only six years old.
When he heard that Zheng He was going out to sea, Zhu Gaoyan gave Zheng He some of the rewards he had received for signing in and personally drew a simplified version of the world map.
It was an unintentional move back then, but now it seemed to have come in handy.
......
Zheng He stood up and walked to the center of the hall.
Zhu Di also sat back on the dragon throne, and the atmosphere in the hall became solemn again.
Zheng He cupped his hands solemnly and said loudly,"
"I am Zheng He."
"Yongle 7th year, 9th month, appointed as the Great Ming's shipping envoy.”
"Together with Deputy Wang Jinghong and Hou Xian, they led 27,000 soldiers and 48 treasure ships.”
" Set sail from Taicang's Liujiagang and go to Champa, Bintong Dragon, Zhenla, Siam, Jailimartin, Jiaolan Mountain, Java, Chongjialuo, Jilimendi, Xilan, Pahang, Dongxi Zhu, Longya Jiamiao, Tanyang, Sumatra, Huamian, Longxian Island, Cuilan Island, Kezhi, Bangkala, Brawa, Zhubu, Mugu Dushu, Sulu, and other countries.”
"The kings of the various countries have sent envoys to the capital to pay tribute with the Treasure Fleet.”
"This subject respectfully requests the emperor to summon him!"
Zhu Di crossed his fingers and said thoughtfully,""I've never heard of the West Mist Country."
"The West Mist Country is a Chong Kyara Vassal Country.”
"The king has brought his prince and princess here personally to request for the emperor's order.”
"The West Mist Country is rich in agarwood and yellow ripe incense. This time, the West Mist King is paying tribute with nine large and small agarwood trees and ten liters of high-grade ambergris.”
"The other countries all have tributes."
Zhu Di smiled and gave Zhu Zhanji a look.
Zhu Zhanji understood and walked to the door of the hall, shouting,""The emperor of Great Ming has decreed that the envoys of all the kings shall pay their respects in turn! Play the music-"
The Sheng bell, Song bell, and other musical instruments sounded together, and the music echoed in the hall.
The King of Champa, who was dressed in strange clothes, walked into the hall with the envoy. He knelt down respectfully and bowed." Greetings, Emperor of Ming!”
"I'm fine," Zhu Di said.
Immediately after, the tall and big Dragon King Bin Tong entered the palace and knelt down respectfully." Greetings, Emperor of Ming!”
"I'm fine." Zhu Di also said.
After that, Zhenla, Siam, and dozens of other large and small countries entered the hall in turn to worship the Ming Dynasty.
The scene was unprecedented!
......
Looking at this scene, Zhu Gaoyan couldn't help but feel heroic.
At this time, Ming was the most powerful country in the world. It was the center of the world's politics, economy, and culture.
The emperor of Great Ming was also the greatest emperor in the world!
People from all countries were proud of being able to speak fluent Chinese.
All the kings of the countries were proud to be able to come to this rich land of Ming.
This was the most brilliant era of the Zhonghua people!
............
Sorry, this chapter is a little difficult to write. I'm short of updates. I'll make it up in the next two days.。
He was also working hard to come up with the plot for the rest of the story. This was just a small transition.
The characters in the front had already been revealed, so the conflicts in the back would be even more intense, and the plot would be even more interesting.
