Han King's Residence.
A sumptuous feast was set up.
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaotong sat next to each other, drinking and chatting.
"Come, come, come. Third brother, second brother will toast you.”
"I misunderstood and hurt you a few days ago. It was my fault. I'll apologize to you.”
Zhu Gaotong scratched his head and said in embarrassment,""Second brother, it's my fault. I should be the one toasting you.”
"Damn it, we brothers still have to talk about respect.”
"Fuck!"
Gulp ~ Gulp ~
Two glasses of wine went down his throat.
Zhu Gaoxu put down his wine glass, wiped his mouth, and sighed,""Third brother, I haven't been having a good time recently.”
"Boss is in charge of the government. I can't speak at all in the court. The old master doesn't like me either."
"Sigh, if this goes on for a long time, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you in Beijing.”
Zhu Gaosui looked outside and said in a low voice,""Second Brother, tell me the truth. Is the Network really unrelated to you?”
Zhu Gaosui was a little scared.
Originally, Zhu Gaosui thought that the Network only had ten people and wouldn't be able to do much.
However, after Zhu Di finished speaking that day, he realized what kind of huge monster was hidden behind the net!
Although Third Brother prided himself on being cautious.
However, he knew that his ambitious second brother was not simple either.
For his own sake, Zhu Gaosui felt that it was necessary for him to probe.
When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he stared at him and said,"Why, Third Brother? You don't even trust me?"”
"Second brother, you misunderstood. I was afraid that you wouldn't trust me.”
Zhu Gaotong chuckled and poured Zhu Gaoxu a glass of wine.
Zhu Gaoxu shook his wine glass and said in a deep voice,""Actually, I also want to know who the person behind the net is!”
"The orphans of Jingnan that I tricked into coming here have been uncontactable ever since the incident at Jiangyang Lake.”
"Especially that little girl. She actually ran away before my men arrived!”
"I suspect that they are connected to the Network!”
"I remember her name is Sun Ruowei, right?" Zhu Gaotong said thoughtfully.”
"Last time at the Heavenly Phoenix Teahouse, Fourth Sister met her.”
Zhu Gaoxu was silent for a moment before he suddenly said,""Third Bro, how do you feel about Fourth Bro recently?”
"Fourth Bro?"
Zhu Gaotong was stunned. He patted Zhu Gaoxu's shoulder and said with a smile,""Second Brother, you're too suspicious! Fourth Bro is just a little kid, what does he know?"
"No!"
Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and said in a deep voice," I always feel that Fourth Brother's recent behavior is too coincidental."”
"Think about it. He and Sun Ruowei stayed in the Heavenly Phoenix Teahouse for so long. What did they talk about?”
"Those Jingnan rebels are not stupid. Why didn't they take him down when they sensed the Embroidered Uniform Guards?”
When Zhu Gaoxu said this, Zhu Gaosui also reacted. He frowned and said,""I also feel a little strange."
"When I woke up, I was at Fourth Brother's place.”
"Not only are you completely fine, even your clothes aren't wet.”
"But Fourth clearly said that he picked me up by the river.”
"Also, how did an eight-year-old child get me back?”
Zhu Gaoxu sneered." Could it be that he never left the mansion? Who sent you to the mansion?"”
Zhu Gaosui's eyes widened.
"If you still don't believe me, think about it again. When we returned triumphantly."”
"Why did Fourth Brother make a few cannon shots just before the assassin attacked and scare the assassin away?”
"Also, don't you know what kind of person Zheng He is? On the surface, he was honest, but on the inside, he was more cunning than anyone else. He knew who to curry favor with.”
"In the past, when Father was the King of Yan, he fawned over us. After his father became the emperor, he proposed to go to the sea and travel west to shock the people overseas. Later, when his father grew old, he set his eyes on the Crown Prince's family.”
"Now, he's the closest to Fourth Brother.”
"Either he knows that it's good for him to get close to Fourth Brother!”
Zhu Gaosui broke out in a cold sweat.
Even though he kept denying it in his heart, that strong psychological suggestion kept making his heart beat wildly.
Zhu Gaoxu stood up and patted Zhu Gaosui's shoulder." Third Brother, Second Brother will stop here today." As for how much you believe, it's up to you.”
...
Yangxin Palace Hall.
After listening to Zheng He's explanation of the miraculous effects of the medicine, Zhu Di could not help but ask,""Zheng He, you said that the little brat gave you a total of three good things.”
"Why didn't you mention the third item?”
"Your Majesty, this third item is too precious!" Zheng He said excitedly.”
"This official was planning to explain it to Your Majesty in detail and ask Your Majesty to allow this official to approach.”
"Interesting. Come over." Zhu Di was interested.
The first two items had already surprised him.
Therefore, he was even more curious. What was this even more precious thing?
Zheng He walked in front of Zhu Di and took out a piece of paper from his pocket. He spread it out on the table." Your Majesty, please take a look!”
Zhu Di gave the eunuch Little Snot a look. Little Snot understood and handed Zhu Di's presbyopic glasses over.
After putting on his presbyopic glasses, Zhu Di picked up the piece of paper and looked at it carefully. His expression suddenly changed.
"This is a map?"
"That's right," Zheng He said. Can the emperor guess, where is the land of our Ming Dynasty?”
Zhu Di stroked his beard and pointed at the largest spot in the middle of the map. He smiled and said,""My Great Ming has a vast territory, it must be here.”
As he spoke, he pointed to a few narrow areas in the north and said happily,"This place is narrow to the north and is the territory of the Tartars and Wala. This place is a little like the Wo-Nan River."
Zheng He smiled without saying anything.
Zhu Di's old face darkened." Little bastard, you've learned to be clever after going out. You even know how to joke around with me. Tell me quickly!”
Zheng He smiled and said," Your Majesty, Heavenly Intellect Eye, this is indeed the land of my Ming Dynasty. It's just that it's actually a little smaller.”
As he spoke, he pointed to Zhu Di.
Zhu Di's eyes widened." So small!？”
The spot Zheng He was pointing at was only the size of a baby's fist, while the spot Zhu Di was pointing at was the size of an adult's palm.
Although it was not ridiculously small, it was still far below Zhu Di's psychological expectations.
"So Big Ming is so small. What about the other places? What are the other places?"
" Your Majesty," Zheng He said," this is a map of the world. It can also be called a map of the entire world.”
"The land, oceans, mountains, and deserts we live in, as well as Siam, Jiri, and other small countries that came to worship, are all on this map.”
Zhu Di was shocked and sighed deeply."So that's how it is. The world is actually so vast.”
Zheng He shook his head." Your Majesty, although the world is big, our Great Ming is still the most powerful country in the world!”
"Look, this green bean-sized island in the east of the Ming Dynasty is the Wei Nation that once invaded us.”
"This sesame-sized place in the northern part of the Wei Nation is a tribute to us every year.”
"The entire empty area to the east is an ocean.”
"Your Majesty, look to the west. On this land, these pea-sized places are the countries that came to pay tribute."
"Although these countries are located overseas, their national strength is far inferior to my Great Ming!”
"Their people are still living in the barbaric era of eating raw meat and drinking blood. Theft and plunder are everywhere.”
"The streets of their city are filled with feces. Every day, there are people dying of starvation and illness on the roadside.”
"Their army is also very weak. A few thousand people is the entire military strength of a country.”
"In their eyes, Great Ming is the legendary celestial palace of the celestial heavens!”
"Wherever my Great Ming's fleet went, countless barbarians thought that a god had descended!”
"Because in their eyes, only the legendary Gods can create ships that are comparable to mountains.”
"Only Heavenly Deities can live in buildings that are as dazzling as gold!”
Zhu Di's eyes lit up and he laughed out loud.
"Good, good, good!"
"It can really be said that heaven and earth respect each other!”
Since ancient times, the greatest dream of emperors was to make contributions, and Zhu Di was no exception.
Once upon a time, Great Ming was still a war-torn wasteland.
At that time, he followed his father, Zhu Yuanzhang, to battle in the south and north, and was used to seeing the sufferings of the common people.
From then on, Zhu Di swore to build the Ming Dynasty into the most powerful country in the world!
The people of this country would never be oppressed by outsiders!
The people of this country would never be humiliated again!
From Zhu Yuanzhang to Zhu Biao, Zhu Yunwen to Zhu Di.
Every Emperor of the Zhu Clan worked hard for this goal.
From the first year of Hongwu to the tenth year of Yongle, 44 years of hard work and 44 years of accumulation!
The Zhu family had dedicated all their blood to the land under their feet!
And now.
When Zhu Di saw that all the countries in the world respected the Ming Dynasty.
The excitement in his heart could no longer be described with words!
"Zheng He, this map of yours is the most precious gift I have ever received in my life.”
"Tell me, what do you want this zhen to reward you with? This zhen will not forbid you!”
Zhu Di waved his hand and said boldly.
Zheng He immediately took a step back and cupped his hands in refusal.""Your Majesty's grace, this subject is grateful!"
"However, I would never dare to take the risk of receiving the reward and profane the grace of the heavens.”
"What do you mean?" Zhu Di frowned.”
"Your Majesty, do you still remember the third treasure that His Highness the King of Liang gave me?”
"To be honest, the third treasure is this map!”
"I relied on this map to cross the four oceans and sail ten thousand miles to reach the lands of the various countries!”
"If it wasn't for the Prince of Liang's help, this subject's achievements would have been extended for a thousand years!”
"Your Majesty, please reward the King of Liang!"
In Yangxin Palace Hall, Zhu Di stood still, his ears ringing.
