Zhu Di drank a cup of Qiuli ointment when he woke up in the morning and felt that it soothed his throat and refreshed him.
"Wang Zhong, you should pay more attention to that boy in the future. Although he is not doing his job properly, the things he produces are really good."
Zhu Di chirped.
"My young master has already informed me of the secret recipe. I have asked the imperial hospital. This is the best drink to drink regularly in autumn and winter to moisten the lungs and nourish the body. The imperial kitchen has already prepared it."
Wang Zhong began to report warmly.
"Well, I really feel at ease when you do this. That boy said last night that he wanted to meet the Japanese envoy. What do you think?"
Zhu Di asked Wang Zhong as he stood up.
"This slave is an eunuch of the inner court and has no knowledge of government matters." Wang Zhong quickly avoided suspicion, at least he had to have this attitude.
"Let me tell you, there are no foreign ministers here, and no one will cause trouble for you." Zhu Di said nonchalantly.
"If it were anyone else, I wouldn't be able to trust him. But the little Duke, I always feel like he has some grudge against the Japanese country. Every time he mentions it, I'm either disgusted or angry."
Wang Zhong said while helping Zhu Di get dressed.
"Well, I noticed it too. I remember the last time I was drunk, this guy called the Japanese people "japanese". It was not a good word. You said that this Japanese people are also strange. They were dealt with so badly by him, and they took the initiative to go up. stick."
After Zhu Di got dressed, he looked in the bronze mirror. Then he picked up the palm-sized glass mirror and looked at it.
"I remember, my slave, that in the words of the young prince, he is a bitch. The more you beat him, the more he will obey you. The more you give in to him, the more arrogant he will be."
Wang Zhong recalled Xu Qin's words.
"I don't think it's that simple. There is a difference between the people of Japan and the people of the grassland. They don't follow the rules at all. Xu Qin said they..."
Zhu Di thought for a while.
"I didn't hold it in well." Wang Zhong couldn't let the emperor say dirty words, so he quickly caught it.
"Well, yes, why are you saying dirty words this morning?" Zhu Di said with a wave of his hand.
"I know my mistake." Wang Zhong lowered his head and said.
While Zhu Di was eating, Zheng He also came. While serving Zhu Di's meal, he talked about his second voyage to the West.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Mr. Xu has forged a new kind of firearm. Can you please let me take some with me when I go to the West?"
Although Zheng He was a eunuch, he could be considered a minister in front of Zhu Di.
Zhu Di's breakfast is still millet porridge and pickles, but there are too many North Korean pancakes and Korean kimchi.
In the court of the Ming Dynasty, starting from the Hongwu Year, North Korea offered beautiful women and eunuchs every year. Many beauties were even named concubines.
In order to serve these noble concubines, many foods were Koreanized. It also naturally has a Korean flavor.
Zheng He's second voyage to the West was about to set off, and many envoys followed his fleet directly.
Even with Xu Qin's coordination, Zheng He freed up many supply ships for these envoys to fill with goods from the Ming Dynasty.
When they arrive at the local area, these supply ships will be filled with fresh water and fresh fruits for free.
This time, Zheng He's fleet was accompanied by people who were entrusted with setting up a business. This time, they were on a trade inspection, and some were there to collect debts.
Zheng He helped Xu Qin, so he naturally wanted to ask for favors from Xu Qin.
"Okay, but you can hurry up that lazy boy yourself. He is a donkey. He will fall back if he is not led away." Zhu Di put down the millet porridge and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zheng He said happily and tore half a piece of cake for Zhu Di with his own hands.
After following Zhu Di for many years, I have long been familiar with his eating habits. Know more about his appetite.
Xu Qin is testing Zhang Yuanxing's martial arts, and according to him, he has mastered it.
Watching him jump across the room and back as if walking on flat ground, and his boxing skills are elegant and full of energy. This gave him a bit of an expert demeanor.
However, it is far different from the one in the TV series. You don’t fly up to the house, but you use your strength to climb up.
There was no shadow of the flying dragon in the sky. But I guess I still have one hand to spare.
"Master Zhang, look at my qualifications. How many years will it take to become like you?"
After all, Xu Qin still has the dream of being a martial arts master. What if he is the one with the unique talent?
Maybe he can be better than his master.
"You might be able to get into the palace in thirty years." Zhang Yuanxing answered conservatively after touching it.
Judging from that expression, this guy is already trying his best to lie.
"When I get the revolver, it will be of no use to the master."
Xu Qin's dream of martial arts was easily extinguished, but it didn't matter that he still had the dream of a musketeer cowboy who was a big prostitute in the west.
However, this is still relatively far away. The materials and technologies of this era are really stuck in progress.
It is really difficult to pull up this progress bar, as it involves too many areas.
"What do you think of Xu Hao?" Xu Qin planned to find a good teacher for Xu Hao.
"It's a talent that can be made, but the young master only wants to study, and practicing martial arts is just to strengthen his body." Zhang Yuanxing said.
Xu Qin became even more upset after hearing this. It seemed that he had been inspected before and that his qualifications were better than his own.
"Do you have any internal skills in Wudang Mountain? After practicing, which aspect can make a man stronger? Do you understand?"
Xu Qin asked furtively and in a low voice.
"There are ways to cultivate and refine the spirit, but it requires a long period of practice. If the young master is in a hurry, it is best to see a doctor."
Zhang Yuanxing said heartwarmingly.
"I don't know how powerful your uncle is. You stand tall in the sky every morning. Get out of here..."
Xu Qin was completely irritated and angry. This bastard really didn't understand human nature at all. He only trained his muscles without developing his brains.
Zhang Yuanxing scratched his head, turned around and left silently.
"Young Master, Wudang Mountain also has prescriptions for aphrodisiacs. If..." Zhang Yuanxing turned around and whispered.
"If you didn't tell me earlier, come back..." Xu Qin became excited upon hearing this.
Although I am very good at it, I have to be prepared and the stronger, the better. Who told so many beauties to wait for me?
The two of them were secretly studying the secret recipe in the study, as well as the secret method of aphrodisiac in Wudang Mountain.
If Zhang Sanfeng knew that his Taoism was being used in this regard, he would probably kill Xu Qin with a thunderbolt from his palm.
As soon as I learned how to breathe, someone informed me. Zheng He's father-in-law asked to see him.
When Xu Qin heard that Zheng He was coming, he quickly dressed up and went to greet him. This is someone I admire more.
The most important thing is to ask for help from others.
Zheng He was still so gentle and came to Wei Guogong's mansion to talk about the matter. Xu Qin could only hold his nose and admit it.
If you still want to delay taking office for a few days, it would be best to wait until after this winter. But since Zheng He wanted to bring new guns to the West, time was running out.
There is only more than a month left.
"Don't worry, father-in-law, I will go all out for this matter." Xu Qin promised. Although lying down is his dream, it feels good to be able to participate in a great historical event.
Next, we will talk about some navigation issues, such as reminding you to bring more oranges, and if water is not easy to store, it is better to bring some light wine.
Xu Qin told everything he could about the Age of Discovery that he would later know. After all, he hoped that Zheng He could go further.
He asked Zheng He to collect crops from various countries as much as possible, especially sweet potatoes, potatoes, peppers and the like. Collect as many as you can and bring them back.
He described the appearance of sweet potatoes and potatoes in detail, and Zheng He promised to bring them back if he found them.
Xu Qin saw Zheng He off and felt very excited. Maybe some things were popularized in the Ming Dynasty in advance because of me.
As soon as Zheng He mounted his horse and left, Dongping Feifu's fat face appeared.
Xu Qin had already reported to Zhu Di, so he no longer had any taboos about seeing him at this time. But it is impossible to enter the Duke of Wei's mansion.
Xu Fugui was asked to find a private room in a teahouse, and the two met again.
This is extremely insulting to Dongping Feifu. To refuse to come in is to treat guests with indifference and even insult.
But Dongping Feifu still endured it and smiled all over his face.
"Master Xu, I have offended you a lot before, so please forgive me, but that was not my original intention. It was really someone who instigated me."
Dongping Feifu didn't hesitate to get straight to the point, and he directly betrayed that person for his own benefit.
"Did I tell you, you are so brave for a foreign minister. If it had been someone else, you might have tricked him to death! That person probably didn't tell you that the emperor is my uncle. Who gave you the idea?"
Xu Qin first boasted that this uncle was real, but whether he was near or far depended on his mood.
It should be enough to scare Dongping Feifu.
"Master Xu, I want to make a deal with you privately. As long as this deal can be completed, I can not only tell you who your enemy is. I can even give you a huge fortune."
Dongping Feifu pretended to be mysterious.
"You Japanese envoys have spent all their money, and you still borrowed 40,000 taels from the Royal Bank. What wealth can you give me?"
Xu Qin asked relentlessly.
"Of course I can't give it to you, but the wealth I want to talk about is in the Ming Dynasty itself. It's easy to get it if you want."
Dongping Feifu rubbed his hands, looking very greedy.
