When Cao Jixiang saw Zhu Jianshen, his eyes filled with tears as he thought about his busy life in the past two years.
A philosophical question, why should I be a eunuch?
I just didn’t want to work hard anymore, so I entered the palace to get an iron job and became a civil servant, but who knew that eunuchs also have to work hard.
If you don’t work hard, someone will force you to work hard.
However, Cao Jixiang is not resentful. On the contrary, during the two years of preparation work, he even has a glimmer of expectation for the rest of his life. He hopes that the harder he works, the luckier he will be, and he will quietly stand out and surprise everyone.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I really miss you. I haven't seen you for two years, and your majesty has become even more powerful."
Zhu Jianshen looked at Cao Jixiang and couldn't help but nodded in his heart.
This resilience can.
"I miss you too..."
As soon as he heard Zhu Jianshende's words, the tears in Cao Jixiang's eyes suddenly slipped out. Then Cao Jixiang wiped the tears clean and said quickly: "Your Majesty, the fleet is ready and will sail to the West soon."
Zhu Jianshen chuckled and said, "Prepare more food and fresh water."
"Yes, your majesty, but don't worry, your majesty. The voyage is planned. The old fishermen who are looking for me all say that when you sail to the Western Ocean, you will pass through many small countries along the way. You can get food and fresh water."
"No, it's not a voyage to the West..." Zhu Jianshen said with a smile.
"Not a voyage to the West?" Cao Jixiang looked surprised.
"right."
"Go in the opposite direction..." Zhu Jianshen said slowly.
"Since Zheng He has sailed to the Western Seas, and his national prestige has spread far and wide, then if you go to the East China Sea, you will be in symmetry with him..."
Then Zhang Bao brought out a small wooden box, which contained the sweet potatoes and corns that Zhu Jianshen painted two years ago.
Cao Jixiang took it with both hands.
Cao Jixiang stayed in the Qianqing Palace for half an hour. After coming out, his mind was still a little dull.
His Majesty said he was not going to the West, but to the east, but there was only a Japanese Japanese in the east...
First go north along the Ming Dynasty to Liaoping Prefecture for a replenishment, then go north and go east along the sea...
"How did your Majesty know that there are sweet potatoes in the east?"
"Does this thing exist?"
"No matter, His Majesty said, I will look for it myself. If I can't find it, I won't come back."
By the way, Cao Jixiang has been dealing with grassroots fishermen and soldiers for a long time, and he has also begun to call himself Lao Tzu.
Although he won't have a biological son, it's not bad to give him a shout to comfort his heart.
Zheng He's voyages to the West were clearly recorded in the nautical charts, and the waterway was stable. However, his historical achievements in his voyages to the West would be much less. But if he went east, it would be a whole new world.
Most importantly, he was ready.
Whether it's sailing to the Western Ocean or heading to the East China Sea, I'm not afraid.
At this time, Cao Jixiang went to see Xu Youzhen. After not seeing each other for two years, Cao Jixiang was thinking about someone else in the capital besides His Majesty.
That was Xu Youzhen. In the past two years, he had been working hard to get Xu Youzhen to sail with him, but this effort was of no use at all.
Zhu Jianshen had no intention of letting Xu Youzhen leave the capital.
Xu Youzhen now has another yamen.
The cabinet duty room in the palace.
However, although he joined the cabinet, he was only a member of the political affairs committee at this time. At this time, he only had the right to make suggestions but not suggestions. Moreover, except for Li Xian, all the members of the cabinet team excluded Xu Youzhen, and he had no right to make suggestions on many political affairs. Not to Xu Youzhen.
This made Xu Youzhen's days in the cabinet very leisurely.
However, Xu Youzhen knew that this was the result of always following His Majesty, but Xu Youzhen was not worried. Sooner or later, these guys would leave the cabinet one by one, and sooner or later, she would step into the role and become a real cabinet minister.
I’ve seen so many tricks played between people every day, and I’m tired. Let’s destroy it.
Therefore, it would be good to stay in this cabinet duty room for two days out of ten.
But today he arrived early.
Because Cao Jixiang is back.
Cao Jixiang, old friend, I haven’t seen you for two years and I miss you very much.
When Cao Jixiang entered the palace, he passed by the cabinet duty room and was kidnapped by Xu Youzhen. He said that he would also treat Cao Jixiang to a drink today and have a good time with him.
By the way, I’m asking, Pu Ning’er.
During this time, Xu Youzhen also used herself to talk to Zhang Baoneng, and then inquired about the 23-year-old young eunuch from North Korea.
There were eighty people. With the help of Zhang Bao, after an investigation, only one person, Pu Ning'er, slipped through the net.
If he wasn't either, then he would have probably been buried long ago.
Xu Youzhen was eagerly anticipating the arrival of Cao Jixiang.
Xu Youzhen had a very special feeling for Cao Jixiang, and the two of them went on a mission to North Korea together.
In North Korea, Cao Jixiang saw Xu Youzhen's ability and worked with him to kill Lord Shouyang.
And he always felt that God had arranged that he and Xu Youzhen had a huge thing to do. After completing it, they would start a life of falling in love and killing each other...
He admired Xu Youzhen.
But when he and Xu Youzhen went to Wuding City and met the most noble Queen of the Ming Dynasty, his fate began to change.
His Majesty attacked him for concealing the truth, but the cunning Xu Youzhen did not say a word for him, and eventually he wanted to go on a long sea voyage.
Your Majesty, he didn't dare to resent you, but Xu Youzhen was different.
It's a bit one-sided to say that he resents Xu Youzhen. He just wants Xu Youzhen to go to sea with him and share the joys and sorrows. He can't let me wander on the sea while you enjoy the hot and spicy food in the capital.
Therefore, this reason caused Cao Jixiang to have an obsession in his heart, and even became a little distorted.
When he saw the treasure ship for the first time, he was thinking about Xu Youzhen. How great it would be if Xu Youzhen was here...
When he ate sea fish for the first time, he was thinking about Xu Youzhen. How wonderful it would be if Youzhen was here...
When he got on the giant ship for the first time and sailed on the sea for the first time, he was still thinking about Xu Youzhen. It would be great if she was here...
For every first time, he wanted to try it with Xu Youzhen.
So after meeting His Majesty, he came immediately to meet the Xu Du Yushi whom he missed...
He is still so rich, his face is red, and there is countless cunning hidden in his small eyes.
"Eunuch Cao, Eunuch Cao, Xu Youzhen really misses you so much." Xu Youzhen laughed and said.
For some reason, Cao Jixiang was very angry when he saw the smile on Xu Youzhen's face.
"Censor of Xudu, if you really miss me so much, go to His Majesty and ask him to allow you to go to sea with me."
"Well, there's no need for this. Don't we have to be together all the time to miss you? Eunuch Cao, go to my house or a restaurant."
"Go now, don't you think it's worth it?"
"I, Xu Youzhen, have long wanted to hear about Eunuch Cao's experience, and I don't want to delay it for a moment. Let's go, let's go, just ask for leave."
Cao Jixiang nodded, and then the two of them walked out of the palace. Xu Youzhen talked and laughed, while Cao Jixiang sarcastically mocked.
"Let's go to the residence of Xu Du Yushi."
"Okay."
Li Xian, who was in the duty room, looked outside through the window and smiled bitterly.
Xu Youzhen has a bright mind and is relatively clean as an official. The only drawback is that she likes to deal with eunuchs.
Yu Qian was sitting in his seat, handling official duties.
Li Xian turned around and said, "Yu Taibao, your majesty's voyage is almost done."
"I know."
"Why don't you meet Cao Jixiang when he comes back? If Cao Jixiang succeeds in his voyage, he will be just like Eunuch Zhang and become a popular person in front of His Majesty." Li Xian said with a smile. In addition to Xu Youzhen, there are also One person who likes to deal with eunuchs is Yu Qian.
Yu Qian raised his eyes and glanced at Li Xian: "Is Li Fuchen making fun of me?"
"Haha, absolutely not."
Yu Qian has a very good relationship with Zhang Bao, which of course is also needed by the government.
Zhang Bao can act as a lubricant between Yu Qian and His Majesty the Emperor.
Zhu Jianshen stopped his Jingyan lectures at the beginning of the eighth year of Chenghua. At that time, there was a turmoil in the court.
Yu Taibao became angry and brought a group of lecturers to explain the classics to Zhu Jianshen.
Zhu Jianshen knocked them back one by one.
Yu Qian was very angry. Why did His Majesty become more and more like the Supreme Emperor as he grew older, not only in appearance but also in personality.
This turmoil gave Xu Youzhen and other general supervisory censors an opportunity.
A swarm of people impeached Yu Qian, saying that he was a powerful minister and could not compare with His Majesty, so they blew their beards, glared, and pounded the table...
In fact, the situation at this time is very serious. If Zhu Jianshen is unwilling to come out to support Yu Qian, Yu Qian's title as a powerful official will be secure, and the best outcome waiting for Yu Qian is to resign and go into seclusion.
At this time, Zhang Bao made a brilliant appearance. In front of the equally angry Zhu Jianshen, he said all the good things about Yu Taibao, which reminded His Majesty the Emperor of Yu Taibao's many years of assistance and companionship. The fight for life.
The impeachment of Xu Youzhen and other officials slowly subsided.
The dispute over the banquet started at the beginning of the eighth year of Chenghua, and it was not until April of the eighth year of Chenghua that the turmoil gradually subsided. Then Zhu Jianshen summoned Yu Qian alone, and the two chatted in the Qianqing Palace for more than an hour. Only Zhang Bao was present. .
After returning, Yu Qian worked even harder.
Li Xian didn't know what His Majesty the Emperor said to Yu Qian, but Yu Qian turned his attention to taxes and kept looking up the experience of the previous dynasty. After clocking out from get off work, he kept drawing and writing...
"How is the Emperor's life in Yunnan?"
"Everything is fine, but the Emperor is a bad student and has learned to curse."
Leng Kuang informed Yu Qian of the Emperor's mantra in a letter, and Yu Qian also asked the Mongolian generals and learned the translation of this sentence "Fuck you".
The general was also very curious and said to Qian: "Yu Taibao, the person who swore this sentence is also a genius. We Mongolians are just beasts at best when we curse others. This can be made into a sentence. Yu Taibao, where did your sentence come from?" Where did you hear that? I'm going to chop him up to make you angry."
Li Xian chuckled and said: "Yunnan is a place for cultivating one's temperament, with green mountains and green waters, and rich food and clothing. If the Supreme Emperor can calm down, he will definitely benefit a lot..."
Yu Qian glanced at Li Xian, and then sighed. He had indeed benefited a lot.
"The seventh prince was also born..."
