Chapter 3 Prince Palm Fan
He Xi returned to his cabin and immediately began to write a memorial.
For the Ming Dynasty's national strength, sending several expedition teams was not a problem. But He Xi thought it would be better to send three teams.
The first branch goes north along the Japanese archipelago, crosses the Bering Strait, and goes to America. This one doesn't need to be too hard. All it takes is a foothold in North America to come back.
The second branch goes to the South Ocean, along the Pacific islands to the Americas. He Xi remembered that there was an ocean current here. But what kind of ocean current is it? They can only rely on themselves to explore. After arriving in North America, it depends. If conditions permit, we should continue to bypass South America and head towards Africa. Returned from the West.
Well, although Westerners feel that they are important and the center of the world. But He Xi felt that there was no need to increase the burden on the expedition members now. You don’t have to go to the West.
The third branch is the original western route, heading west from Malacca, all the way to Europe, and then from Europe around South America and back to China. This is the farthest channel, but the first half is a known channel. The problem is in the second half. Of course, if we look at it in chronological order, when he returns home, he should be able to encounter the traces left by the first two expeditions.
He Xiwen did not add any points. Finish writing the memorial. I was extremely happy and thought to myself: "This is the first step for the Ming Dynasty and the first step for the great voyage. This time, the Ming Dynasty will never fall behind in the age of great voyages."
Then he polished it a little and sent it to Nanjing.
At this time, there was a "bang" and the door was pushed open.
He Xi was startled and looked up, only to see dark clouds covering Princess Anqing's face. Sitting on the edge of the bed.
He Xi quickly went up and said, "What's wrong?"
Princess Anqing said: "What else can I do? King Jingjiang. I think they are all my relatives. I went to visit him. Who would have known that he actually looked down on me and scolded me severely. I was so angry."
He Xi frowned immediately when he saw this.
He Xi frowned. First of all, it was for Princess Anqing. He and Princess Anqing had a deep love for each other. He had always doted on Princess Anqing. Don't dare to point a finger, how can she be wronged.
Secondly, it is the attitude of King Jingjiang.
King Jingjiang's feudal state in Taiwan was of an experimental nature.
In fact, the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty may not really want to stay away from the prosperous land of the Central Plains, but they conquered their own world one by one. Therefore, if King Jingjiang cannot do this one thing well, many other things will also be difficult to do.
If King Jingjiang does not cooperate, this matter will be more difficult to handle.
He Xi secretly thought: "No matter what the reason is, I want to meet Prince Jingjiang for a while."
So He Xi comforted Princess Anqing. Princess Anqing herself does not hold grudges. Although the anger passed after a while. It's just that He Xi is a vengeful person.
Princess Anqing comforted her.
He Xi called Wang Qianli up. Go to see King Jingjiang immediately.
Jingjiang King Zhu Shouqian's cabin was no smaller than He Xi's. In terms of living enjoyment, he has always been treated as the best in the world. However, Zhu Shouqian was locked in the cabin and was not allowed to come out. Because Zhu Shouqian's guilt-ridden body has not changed.
Of course, He Xi had an imperial edict in his hand, which was to pardon Zhu Shouqian.
However, He Xi is free to announce when.
This was allowed by Zhu Yuanzhang.
He Xi took Wang Qianli and pushed in the door.
But he saw Zhu Shouqian who was heavily drunk.
Zhu Shouqian is now in his twenties, older than He Xi. Almost thirty. Speaking of which, Zhu Wenzheng was imprisoned and died twenty years ago. Zhu Shouqian has a good-looking appearance, but it seems that his long-term unhealthy diet has made him a little thinner. His cheekbones are prominent and there are shadows under his eyes, giving him a mean look.
Zhu Shouqian didn't even look up to see who was coming. Instead, he held up the bottle and said, "Get out of here."
He Xi said: "King Jingjiang, do you know who I am?"
Zhu Shouqian then looked up at He Xi and said calmly: "I don't care who you are?"
He Xi said: "I am Princess Anqing's consort."
"Well." Zhu Shouqian said, "Can you get out?"
He Xi found that Zhu Shouqian was unable to communicate at all, so he waved his hand and said, "Sober up the wine for King Jingjiang."
Wang Qianli said: "Yes." He hesitated slightly, but still strode forward and poured a bucket of water on Prince Jingjiang's head.
Although it is not the twelfth lunar month of winter, it is still the coldest month of spring. When a bucket of water was poured down, Zhu Shouqian's whole body suddenly trembled. Zhu Shouqian was like an angry beast. He picked up the wine bottle and threw it at He Xi.
He Xi had quick eyes and quick hands, and he dodged in a flash. Just hearing a "bump" behind him, countless pieces of porcelain flew around. Immediately, Zhu Shouqian rushed over and was about to punch He Xi in the face.
Wang Qianli was shocked and grabbed Zhu Shouqian.
Wang Qianli is now the guard leader of the Prince Consort's Mansion. He Xi asks him to attack the feudal king, but he actually doesn't dare. After all, he was just a member of the Qianhu family from Luan Yiwei. He might be considered an official, but in front of these vassal kings, he was nothing at all.
But when it came to protecting He Xi, he didn't dare to neglect anything. Then it was the feudal king who attacked He Xi, and he did not dare to hesitate.
In just one move, Zhu Shouqian was pinned to the table by Wang Qianli.
Zhu Shouqian had long been drained of alcohol and sex. Even if he hadn't been drained of alcohol and sex, he might not be Wang Qianli's opponent.
It was just that Zhu Shouqian was pressed back on the table. He was very unconvinced, incompetent and furious. He yelled and rubbed his whole body on the table repeatedly. He tried his best to get up, but he couldn't get up. He shouted: "I want to kill your whole family, attack the clan king, and want the lives of your nine clans."
When He Xi saw this, he went up and slapped Zhu Shouqian.
The sound of "pop" is clear and sweet.
Zhu Shouqian suddenly became quiet. His eyes widened, almost popping out, staring at He Xi. He has probably never been slapped in the face in his entire life. He looked at He Xi and suddenly said: "Ah------"
There was a "pop" and another slap in the face. Zhu Shouqian's yelling was interrupted.
Zhu Shouqian became even more angry and said: "You-----"
"Pop" was heard again, He Xi's face was expressionless and she rubbed her hands slightly. He used his full strength every time. The palms of my hands were all red.
Zhu Shouqian was breathing heavily, like an angry bull, but the bull was suppressed tightly and could not move, and said: "Who are you?"
"Pah." Another slap in the face. He Xi didn't answer at all.
Zhu Shouqian said: "What do you want to do?"
"Pop" again.
Zhu Shouqian stopped talking. Just eyes of hatred, staring at He Xi.
As if the slap went smoothly, He Xi slapped her again, and then wiped her hand with a handkerchief. Said: "Is this good?"
"I want you to die." Zhu Shouqian said.
He Xi said: "I know."
"I will cut you into pieces." Zhu Shouqian said.
He Xi said: "I know. However, my actions just now have not made you understand your situation? You are just a prisoner, why should you kill me?"
Zhu Shouqian said: "Because I am the king of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang owes my family."
He Xi looked at him with a half-smile but said: "Have you ever thought that today's situation is tacitly approved by His Majesty? Some people are very annoying. They want things they shouldn't want, but they have to give them. Not giving them, is Fault. No amount of compensation will satisfy me."
"You don't understand." Zhu Shouqian said: "He personally admitted that if he defended Nanchang, he would make my father the crown prince. I am the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty."
He Xi nodded and said, "I understand. If you have a debt and you can't pay it back no matter what, there is only one way to pay it back. Let the nagging people die." He Xi's face was gloomy, and he stretched out his hand gently Patting Zhu Shouqian's face.
Zhu Shouqian's face was already swollen. But at this moment, there was a hint of panic in his eyes.
If He Xi said this directly, Zhu Shouqian would not believe it. But at this moment, He Xi slapped him so many times without mercy. His psychological defense had been broken long ago. In his opinion, no one dared to do anything to him.
But He Xi dared to do so and acted so confidently. There must be a reason behind this.
Zhu Shouqian couldn't help but think: "Does Zhu Yuanzhang want me to die?"
