The navy reported to the General Affairs Department. Seeing that Zhu Di's grandson was coming, the General Affairs Department did not dare to neglect and immediately sent the certificate to the cabinet.
"Sir, there is an urgent report here, please take a look at it." The cabinet official came to Wang Yuanji with a folder.
Wang Yuanji glanced at his subordinates, put down the brush in his hand slowly, reached out to take it and opened it.
The next moment, Wang Yuanji suddenly lost consciousness and couldn't help but said: "Zhu Zhanji..."
Then he came back to his senses and saw that the subordinate officer was still standing in front of him. He closed the fold slightly and waved to him: "I know, you can go down."
"I excuse myself."
After the subordinate officer left, Wang Yuanji opened the folder again and read it carefully from beginning to end.
Although the emergency report described the situation of Zhu Zhanji's fleet in detail, it did not mention Zhu Zhanji's purpose of coming to Ming Dynasty.
Wang Yuanji frowned slightly. He didn't know whether this was the navy's negligence or Zhu Zhanji's failure to express his purpose.
Thinking of Zhu Di's rebellion and the late emperor's attitude towards Zhu Di, Wang Yuanji shook his head in his heart. He had no interest in knowing these royal secrets.
Besides, I still don’t know what the emperor’s attitude is towards Xinming now. Wang Yuanji sighed slightly and decided to report to the emperor immediately.
Zhu Yunye was feeding the fish in the imperial garden. He was not his model-worker grandfather who would spend all day and night reviewing memorials.
The current cabinet is very powerful. There are not many memorials that require Zhu Yunye's personal approval, and there is still plenty of time for leisurely fish farming.
The eunuch hunched over and trotted all the way from the end of the corridor to Zhu Yunye. He was afraid of disturbing the emperor's interest in feeding the fish, so he stood aside and waited quietly.
Zhu Yunye continued to feed the fish. After throwing down all the bait in his hand, he clapped his hands and asked, "What's wrong?"
He noticed it when the eunuch came, but he was in a mood and ignored him.
"Your Majesty, the king's chief assistant would like to see you."
"Wang Yuanji is here?" Zhu Yunye turned back violently, raised his finger and pointed at the eunuch, complaining: "Why didn't you report it just now? If you delayed an important event, can you afford it?"
Others Zhu Yunye may not pay attention to it, but if Wang Yuanji comes to him, there must be something important.
The eunuch quickly bowed and explained: "I saw that there was no eagerness on the face of the king's chief minister, and I also saw that the emperor was in high spirits... The emperor has been working hard for many days, slave... I am just like the emperor. Please relax for a moment
, please punish me..."
The eunuch had a heartbroken look on his face and slowly knelt down on the ground.
Zhu Yunye just got angry subconsciously and didn't think about whether to punish the eunuch. Now that he saw the eunuch's appearance, the dissatisfaction he felt just now dissipated immediately.
He waved his hands and said, "Don't pretend to be pitiful in front of me, get out of here."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I really want you to take care of your dragon body..." After the eunuch finished speaking, he got up.
Zhu Yunye waved his hands repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I know what you mean. Come with me to see Wang Yuanji first, it will be bad if it delays important events."
"yes."
Royal study room.
There was a cup of steaming tribute tea on the table, but Wang Yuanji didn't touch it. He just stood aside.
When Zhu Yunye walked to the door, he had a thought and waved his hand to stop the eunuch who was about to shout, and suddenly appeared at the door of the palace silently.
At a glance, Wang Yuanji was seen standing in the hall with his hands in front of his belly, eyes closed and meditating. Zhu Yunye suddenly showed a satisfied look and said loudly: "Wang Aiqing, what are you standing for? Sit down!"
After saying that, he waved his sleeves and robe, put his hands behind his back, strode to the upper position and sat down.
Wang Yuanji was really resting his mind just now. When he heard the emperor's voice, he came back to his senses, opened his eyes, and bowed: "I pay my respects to the emperor."
Zhu Yunye sat on the chair, took a sip from the tea cup with both hands, and said with a smile: "Wang Aiqing came to see you today, what can I do?"
"There is one thing that a humble minister cannot specialize in. I would like your Majesty to decide." With that said, Wang Yuanji took out the urgent report from his sleeve robe.
Hearing that something important was really important, Zhu Yunye quickly put down the tea cup and sternly motioned to the eunuch to get the urgent report.
After receiving the urgent report from the eunuch, Zhu Yunye frowned: "An urgent report from the navy?"
The Ming Dynasty Navy has been invincible for many years, what else can happen that warrants an urgent report from the Navy? Zhu Yunye vaguely remembered that the last time he received an urgent report from the navy was several years ago.
There was no time to think too much, so he opened it and looked at it seriously.
The next moment, Zhu Yunye couldn't help but said in surprise: "Fourth uncle sent Zhu Zhanji back?"
In his impression, Zhu Zhanji was still the chest-high child.
"Your Majesty, since King Yan went to America, he has never had any direct contact with Ming Dynasty.
style of correspondence. Now he suddenly sends someone back, and he is still his direct grandson..."
After listening to Wang Yuanji's words, Zhu Yunye couldn't help but frown slightly and asked subconsciously: "Why do you think the fourth uncle sent Zhu Zhanji back?"
Wang Yuanji slowly shook his head and said: "There is too little information, and even the ministers don't know about it. However, there has been no contact between the two parties for so many years, and now they suddenly send someone back, it should be a big deal."
"So, we still have to wait until Zhu Zhanji comes to Beijing to know everything?" Zhu Yunye smiled faintly and closed the urgent report: "Then order him to come as soon as possible. It just so happens that I also want to see what he looks like. What does it look like to be big?"
"yes."
The fleet arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and Zhu Zhanji ordered the fleet to sail into the Yangtze River.
Yin Yong interrupted: "Your Highness, the Emperor has a decree that His Highness can enter the capital as soon as possible."
Zhu Zhanji was also very interested in the emperor's uncle whom he had met when he was a child. He quickly said: "I want to do it too, but no matter how anxious I am, why don't we have to slowly swim upstream from the Yangtze River?"
Yin Yong suddenly smiled very proudly, "Your Highness does not know, but the fastest way back to Beijing now is not by taking the Yangtze River waterway."
"Oh? Do you want to ride a fast horse?" If you don't go by water, you can only go by land. This is what Zhu Zhanji can think of.
Although riding a horse is tiring, if the emperor's uncle sees this, then Zhu Zhanji doesn't care.
Yin Yong waved his hand quickly: "No, no, no, we can take the train back to Beijing. It is much faster than riding a horse, and we can also take a rest."
"Faster than riding a horse? Rest?" Zhu Zhanji frowned and asked with confusion on his face: "What is a train?"
"The train is..." Yin Yong was familiar with trains and thought he could easily explain it to His Highness. But when he opened his mouth, he suddenly didn't know how to describe it to His Highness.
"A train is... just... it's just a series of long carriages, and then the coal is burned, and then the train starts running, faster than a horse..."
Zhu Zhanji was very confused when he heard this. He wanted to ask Yin Yong, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
Yin Yong also reacted, his explanation was feeble, and he suddenly laughed awkwardly.
He said directly: "Your Highness will know after you go and take a look."
"Okay, let's go and see what this train is." Zhu Zhanji also wanted to know curiously.
