Chapter 568: The First Year of Yongle
Yu Yanzhao stuffed a huge chicken leg into his son's bowl, and then said with a smile: "What do you think of Liufu?" Okay, is it fun? ”
Yu Yanzhao felt that he was the most faceless father.
It's not a good thing to have a very smart son. As soon as Yu Qian could speak, he began to recite poems, and within a year, he had memorized all the poems at home.
Just before Yu Yanzhao decided to enter Beijing, his son went out to play, wearing a pair of buns, similar to the horns of a cow, and a monk said: "The head of the bull likes to give birth to dragon horns." ”
The little Yu Qian immediately replied: "How can a dog's mouth spit out ivory." ”
When Yu Yanzhao went home, he told his wife what happened, and when he was afraid that his son would offend people, she changed Yu Qian's hairstyle and made it into three horns, this time it's okay!
No!
I ran into the thief again, and the monk said to him: "The three prongs form a drum rack." ”
Yu Qian was not polite, and said directly: "A bald is like a hammer." ”
The monk hid his face and walked away, no longer daring to laugh at Yu Qian.
Yu Yanzhao knows that his son is very young, but he is a little thorn, there are so many nobles and royal relatives in Liufu, it is not good to offend any of them.
Yu Qian took a bite of the chicken leg and gave his father a thumbs up, and then said: "Liufu is very good, but the rules are different from ours." ”
"yes, what's the difference?" Yu Yanzhao said worriedly.
"Liufu doesn't pay much attention to the superiority and inferiority, and everyone looks quite casual. By the way, in Liufu, the subordinates can eat with the master. Also, Liufu's breakfast will send an egg, everyone has it, it's delicious, but some people don't like it. ”
"Who?" Yu Yanzhao was very curious about anything in Liufu.
"It's a very fat little girl, it should be the daughter of Lord Liu, she doesn't like to eat, there is a black-faced kid, and the proposal is that she is young, and she should eat small ones, so she replaced the eggs with quail eggs."
Yu Yanzhao laughed, "That's a good idea. ”
Yu Qian shook his head, "It's not good at all, Lord Liu said, it's okay to change quail eggs, but the black boy's eggs are also replaced by goose eggs." Lord Liu also said that when he grows older, he will change an ostrich egg...... By the way, what is an ostrich? Dad, you know what? ”
Yu Yanzhao thought for a moment and shook his head slightly, "Maybe it's a strange beast that only exists overseas!" This time, my father went to sea, and eighty percent of them could meet him. Yu Yanzhao thought about it, and said to his wife and mother: "Let the child go to Liufu, he can learn things from Lord Liu, and he will have a bright future in the future." ”
Madame sighed lightly, "Having said that, how old are our children, and Lord Liu is a good person, I am afraid that our son will be wronged." ”
Yu Yanzhao shook his head, "No, I just heard from the child that Lord Liu is fair and good to the people below." Our son is not a fool, how can he be bullied? ”
Madame held back her tears and finally nodded.
The son was also arranged, and Yu Yanzhao felt that he could go to sea with confidence.
At the same time, time has also entered the first year of Yongle, the world has changed its yuan, Vientiane has been renewed, and finally officially entered the era of Zhu Di.
In the first morning of the new year, Zhu Di announced to his ministers that he was ready to go to the West.
"This time, the fleet temporarily dispatched thirty ships, ten of which were warships and twenty merchant ships, to carry cargo. I am peace-loving, I like to make friends the most, and we will not use force easily. ”
Zhu Di announced with a smile, Liu Chun lowered his head, too lazy to demolish him, what merchant ships, the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty, are stronger than many foreign warships.
Moreover, among the ships that went to sea this time, they were equipped with a large number of new weapons, including various rockets, firearms, and even two ships were equipped with artillery.
Coupled with the huge size, this fleet is definitely a giant beast in the wilderness, and wherever it passes, there is absolutely no armor left. Of course, if you are willing to cooperate with Daming, you can still get along amicably.
After Zhu Di announced the plan, he announced that he would appoint Wu Zhong as the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple and promote him to an official, and then said to him: "Prince Harlie said that he wanted to learn from the Ming Dynasty, and I have agreed, you can choose a few Wenchen with good character and profound knowledge to go to sea with you." When you arrive in Harai, you want to preach and educate, and I have prepared a hundred Analects, a hundred Mencius, and a few other classics for you. I really hope that in a few years, there will be barbarians who will learn the Han Chinese script and read the writings of the sages. ”
Zhu Di said enthusiastically and encouraged, Wu Zhongzhong's original intention was like ashes, but when he heard Zhu Di's words, there was a trace of liveliness.
It turns out that he is not the most unlucky.
You can also choose Wenchen.
So who to pick?
His gaze swept among his former colleagues in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the gang all lowered their heads in fright, desperately avoiding Wu Zhong's gaze, for fear of being discovered by him.
It's just that the Golden Palace is so big, unless it is hiding in the cracks of the ground, how can it not be discovered?
Wu Zhong gradually had a plan, but he didn't want to say it at this time.
"Your Majesty, please allow the minister to think carefully, and then play Your Majesty."
Zhu Di nodded, "Yes, but in three days, you will have to leave, and you must report the candidate to me before you leave." ”
"Minister, obey the order." Wu Zhong replied happily.
After Zhu Di explained, he said to the ministers: "Three days later, I will personally bid farewell to the envoy fleet, I will be mighty tomorrow, and I will fly far away to foreign lands, so that those barbarians will know that under the sun and the moon, it is the territory of the Ming Dynasty." ”
In the first early dynasty of the first year of Yongle, Zhu Di couldn't wait to announce his ambitions.
This time, the fleet carried a total of 150,000 horses of silk, which were finally loaded on the ship the day before departure, as the first batch of goods officially set off for Haret.
The day turned, the wind and the sun were beautiful, just like the mood of people.
Wu Zhong was in a particularly good mood, this guy couldn't hide his joy, and said to Yu Yanzhao beside him: "What have you been doing in the past three days?" ”
Yu Yanzhao said honestly: "I just want to see my son, after all, I have to be separated for a long time, and I am afraid that the child will forget me as a father." “
Wu Zhong frowned, this guy is too unambitious, what a good opportunity, how can he clean up some things about children's affection? Thinking that they were about to go to sea together, Wu Zhong had nothing to hide, not to mention that he had done such a great thing, he should find someone to share it with.
"I've received some gifts in the past three days."
He said casually, Yu Yanzhao just nodded and didn't continue to ask.
Wu Zhong is in a hurry, can you cooperate?
"It's not a great thing, it's the Chengxin Hall of Empress Li, the calligraphy of Song Huizong, by the way, and a poem written by Li Qingzhao himself. Good things, all good things! Wu Zhong thought for a while, and then said: "By the way, there is also a jade cup, let me tell you, this jade cup is amazing!" On the outside is a pale yellow leaf, and on the inside is a white and flawless plum-shaped jade cup. Pour the wine into it, and drink it warm in winter and cold in summer. ”
"By the way, under the jade cup, there is a plum blossom, pour the wine into it, and the plum blossom will immediately come alive, and when the wine is drunk, the plum blossom will disappear."
Wu Zhong kept talking, Yu Yanzhao didn't have the slightest interest in these things, but since he said it, he couldn't help but answer.
"It is reasonable for adults to go to sea, work hard, and some people offer treasures to show respect!"
"Hahaha!"
Wu Zhong laughed loudly, "You are really an honest man!" The grandchildren will give me something? They wish I had died at sea! But I'm smart, I'll stay for three days, and if you don't want to go to sea with us, you're going to give me a gift. ”
Yu Yanzhao suddenly realized that this guy was blackmail at all!
Wu Zhongman didn't care, "Anyway, it's a fight of life and death, I don't know if I can come back alive!" Why do I pay so much attention to it? I haven't eaten it before, but I want to eat it. If you haven't played it, you have to play it! As for the reputation, I've already seen it, fame and fortune are tiring, it's better to be happy! ”
……
At the same time, four people knelt in front of Zhu Di and kowtowed.
"Your Majesty, spare the ministers! Your Majesty! The minister's family is taken care of by his mother, and when the minister leaves, I am afraid that he will say goodbye to heaven and man forever. ”
Zhu Di frowned, "What are you doing?" What I said a long time ago, it was Wu Zhong who recommended you, and now that the fleet is leaving, you are running and crying, so who can I find to replace you? All of them are on the way, and no one is allowed to complain. ”
The four people looked at each other, and one of them, Yushi, surnamed Mo, knelt and climbed two steps, kowtowing to the ground.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are willing to go, but the ministers have something to say. That Wu Zhong is a traitor! He, he accepted our gifts, he didn't do anything! ”
Mo Yushi took the initiative to say: "The minister gave him an ancestral jade cup in the family, it was a priceless treasure, he promised with his mouth, but, who knew that he would go back on his word!" ”
"Your Majesty, how can such a traitorous minister take on the heavy responsibility of being an envoy? Your Majesty, please behead Wu Zhong, kill him, and punish him. ”
The remaining three people also followed: "That's right, Your Majesty, Wu Zhong also took our things, all of them are the best gifts, this beast, he eats people and doesn't spit out bones, he is too bad." ”
Zhu Di didn't know what to say for a while.
Wu Zhong is really a goddamn talent, he asked him to recommend it, he said to delay it for three days, but he took advantage of this time to receive gifts in a big way, and it was just a matter of receiving gifts, he didn't do anything!
This bastard king eight lambs, he really deserves to be killed!
"Your Majesty!" After Liu Chun listened, he suddenly smiled and said: "Your Majesty, in the past, the minister was worried that Wu Zhong might not be able to succeed, but after listening to them, the minister was relieved." ”
Zhu Di said coldly: "What's the explanation? ”
"Your Majesty, the sea is changing and dangerous, and only the fiercest and most cunning people can survive." Liu Chun looked at the four poor people who were about to go to sea, and said with a smile: "At this point, you have to learn from Wu Middle School, he is your master!" ”
These four goods are going to be angry, they can't wait to kill Wu Zhong and apprentice, nonsense!
They can't figure it out, if they want to go to sea, they have to become wicked first?
Zhu Di simply put on a straight face and didn't give them time to think.
"Hurry up to the docks, I'm going to toast and flag the fleet!"
The dragon flag symbolizing the supreme of the Ninety-Five Dynasty fluttered on the top of the mast, hunting sounded, and the huge ship like a mountain slowly moved forward, Zhu Di's face was full of happy smiles.
"The route is open, the money is coming, and I can expand the territory!"
