Chapter 115: The Guawa Incident.

Emperor Zhu Di saw Di Xiaojie and Xu Ruoxuan coming in, so he said with a smile: "Your literary talent has won the appreciation of the first assistant of the cabinet, Xie Jin, so he begged me to give the two of you a chance to go out to practice, don't let down the hard work of the scholars!" ”

Di Xiaojie and Xu Ruoxuan hurriedly kowtowed to thank them.

The emperor smiled and said, "If it is decided today, the officials in various places have also been settled, but I don't know what their political achievements are, so I have high hopes for the two of you." ”

As soon as Emperor Zhu Di said this, Di Xiaojie and Xu Ruoxuan were a little confused, since the officials from all over the country were properly placed, wouldn't they be redundant, but listening to the emperor's words, it was not like that.

"Both of you are scholars, so it is inevitable that there will be some inconvenience outside, and I know that you and Ye Xing, the champion of the new science and martial arts, are good friends, so I decided to let the three of them go on the road together."

Ye Xing immediately knelt down after hearing this, and Di Xiaojie and Xu Ruoxuan also liked it very much after listening to it, being with Ye Xing was not only interesting, but also safe, but they were still very puzzled, what kind of errand did the emperor assign to them?

But just when the emperor was about to speak, a eunuch hurriedly came to the emperor from one side, and the emperor knew that something big had happened at a glance, so he asked the eunuch to speak first.

After the eunuch knelt down, he hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, something is wrong, Zheng He's ship has encountered a situation in the country of Ma Ba Xie on the island of Java, and the big thing is probably not good." ”

The eunuch didn't finish his words once he spoke, and after Zhu Di heard that something happened to Zheng He, he hurriedly asked nervously: "What's going on, tell me quickly!" ”

The eunuch didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly said: "The East King and the West King of the Ma Ya Ba Xie Kingdom are fighting a civil war, and the East King was defeated, and his territory was occupied by the West King's people, and Zheng He's crew went to the market to trade, and was mistaken by the West King's soldiers for coming to aid the East King, so our people were mistakenly killed by the West King more than 170 people. ”

"What, more than 170 people were killed?" After hearing this, Emperor Zhu Di was furious, he didn't expect Zheng He to encounter this kind of change when he went to sea for the first time, which was simply a disadvantage.

What made him even more angry was that more than 170 of his people had been killed.

The eunuch saw that Emperor Zhu Di was so angry, and he didn't dare to say anything for a while, and it took a long time for Emperor Zhu Di to calm down, and inside and outside the hall were whispering about this matter at this time.

After Zhu Di calmed down, he asked sharply, "When did this happen?" ”

"About seven days ago!"

"Why did you report it now, and how did Zheng He react?" Zhu Di asked coldly, which made the civil and military officials in the palace extremely afraid.

The eunuch also said tremblingly: "More than 20,000 officers under Zheng He asked to stand one after another, they said that the blood of the soldiers could not be shed in vain, and they wanted to declare war on the country of Ma Ba Xie and take revenge, but Zheng He was a little hesitant, he didn't know if it was a good thing to declare war on the country of Ma Ba Xie. ”

"What's the reaction of the country?" Zhu Di continued to ask, as if he had forgotten that he was still going to divide Ye Xing and them just now.

"The king of the west of the country was very scared, so they sent a messenger to apologize for their sins and were willing to compensate 60,000 taels of gold for forgiveness, which was also the reason why Zheng He hesitated."

The people in the palace were still discussing, and the emperor Zhu Di pondered for a moment, and then said to everyone in the palace: "What do you think of Aiqing?" ”

Everyone, you say everything I say, it is extremely chaotic, and the emperor Zhu Di has not seen anyone say anything after listening to it for a long time.

Zhu Di was extremely angry when he saw this situation, these are still the pillars of the country, he doesn't even have an idea of such a thing, and he is called the pillar of the country, Zhu Di really wants to depose these people from their official positions now and let them go home to farm.

But Zhu Di is the emperor after all, considering that things must be comprehensive, depose these officials, where will he find so many officials, and these officials have nepotism, depose them, it is no wonder that the world is not in chaos.

In order to come up with a way to deal with it, Zhu Di suddenly said loudly: "Whoever can find a way to solve this matter, I will seal him to walk in the world!" ”

After Zhu Di said this, the entire hall and even the outside of the hall were quiet, although this world walking is not an official position, but it is an extremely free, and very powerful position, it can be said that whoever is sealed to walk in the world can wait for the emperor to exercise power.

In other words, you can go anywhere and fight anyone, of course, the premise is that you can't do anything illegal.

As soon as these words came out, those people tried their best to find a way to solve the matter.

At this time, Ji Wu stood up and said: "Back to the emperor, do you think that we should declare war on the country of Ma Baxie, more than 170 soldiers, 60,000 taels of gold?" Even if we don't talk about the money, where is the national prestige of our Ming Dynasty, we have been bullied, can we swallow our anger like this? ”

As soon as Ji Wu said this, everyone else also expressed their invitation to fight.

Ji Wu continued: "Our army already has weapons like cannons, and we are still afraid of those people in the country of Ma Yaxie, so it can be said that it will be easy for us to eliminate them. ”

When Ji Wu said this, the others became more confident, so they all declared war on the country with a superficial attitude.

Zhu Di sat on the dragon chair and pondered for a long time, then looked at Ye Xing and asked, "What do you think about this matter?" ”

Ye Xing didn't have any opinion on this matter, or he knew that the emperor already had his own opinion on this matter, and the reason why the emperor did this was just to see what they could do about this matter.

And this matter is simply a very simple thing for a person like Ye Xing who knows history.

But sometimes, simple things are not easy to solve.

First of all, it is a matter of expression, and then it is necessary to convince the other party of your own words.

Ye Xing hurriedly stood up and said, "The minister thinks that this matter should be turned into a jade silk and live in harmony with the country of Ma Baxie. ”

As soon as Ye Xing said this, the others all stood up and accused Ye Xing, saying that he had lost face and was too dignified.

Zhu Di looked at Ye Xing and continued to ask, "Is there a reason?" ”

"Of course, the purpose of Zheng He's going to sea is to promote the national prestige of our Ming Dynasty, but how can we show the national prestige of our Ming Dynasty, to attack a country that is smaller than us and cannot be smaller is to raise the national prestige of our Ming Dynasty? It is never force that is convincing, and if we want other countries to worship, we must let them admire us from the bottom of our hearts. ”

Ye Xing's words were extremely shocking, more convincing than what Ji Wu said just now, but how to solve this matter Ye Xing did not say a specific situation.
