Chapter 114 Literary Inquisition
The deep blue sky reflected in the azure water, and the waves gently slapped the ship's side.
Zhu Gaochi sat in the middle of the cabin by the window, his eyes fluctuated with the sea. He suddenly had an illusion. He was like clouds in the sky, now swimming in the sea, free and happy like fish.
He stood up hard, held the window and looked out, and went out from the sea to Japan from Jiaodong. He encountered two winter tides. The warship he was riding in looked extremely huge when docked in the port, but in the tide, it was like a small boat that could capsize at any time.
He tortured his bitter gallbladder and knotted his intestines. Along the way, he finally understood what the power of heaven and earth is.
At this moment, the warship was quietly anchored in the port of a foreign land, which made the terrified sea water calm again. At this moment, he suddenly realized that the terrifying sea was so within reach.
Looking out, his face seemed to flash in the clear sea water.
"I'm really thin!"
He touched his face weakly, and felt that the flesh on his face seemed to have given birth to eight sons. He held the breasts of the breastfeeding women every day. His mother was as loose as a sack. He flicked his hand and swayed his mother twice.
I don’t know how many times I vomited, as if I had spit out all the food I had eaten last year, as if I had spit out all his energy.
"How did I offend you?"
Zhu Gaochi looked at his outline in the sea and cursed sadly in his heart, "I am a man from the north, you have assigned him to the sea. Do you know how much sin I have suffered along the way? I can't eat or sleep, and there is no one around me to serve. I'm more evil than a woman who vomits when she is pregnant with a child."
As he cursed, he suddenly wanted to cry and couldn't help but smell his clothes, "I'm fucking bad!"
Then, he looked into the boundless coastline in the distance, "Zhu Yun-chan, your uncle! You are so bad and you know how to bully me. Vomit..."
Suddenly, the chest and abdomen were overturned.
Zhu Gaochi could no longer help, lying on the window and sprayed his mouth.
"Vomit, vomit..."
In fact, he had nothing to vomit in his stomach, and what was spraying out of his nostrils and mouth was yellow water.
"vomit......"
The vomiting was too strong to control, and it was even more intense every time.
"Very...cough cough...cough cough...."
Push, Zhu Gaochi's body fell softly, and he shouted to the outside with his last strength, "Three Treasures!"
Powerful steps came from the corridor of the cabin, and then the cabin door was directly pulled open, revealing a young and resolute face with bright eyes.
"Three treasures!" Zhu Gaochi's voice was already crying.
"Haven's spitting again?" The man who was called Sanbao quickly stepped in, helped Zhu Gaochi up with his powerful arms and placed it on the couch, then took a quick towel and carefully helped Zhu Gaochi wipe his face.
This man's name is Zheng Sanbao, and he is one of the personal guards around Zhu Gaochi's father, King Yan Zhu Di.
His name is Zheng He, the nickname is Sanbao, and he has a face that is both strong and beautiful. If you look carefully, it seems that there are some differences between the eyebrows and eyes that are different from traditional Han people, and some are like Semen.
In fact, his ancestors were Saidanchi, the king of Xianyang, the upper pillar country during the reign of Emperor Shizong of the Great Yuan Dynasty. This man started from Ogedei and was a prominent official in the Great Yuan Dynasty. His family was originally a royal family in Central Asia, and later he joined Mongolia.
He served as the political affairs of Pingzhang, Sichuan, Shaanxi, and the power of Pingzhang in the Yuan Dynasty was far greater than that of the governor of a province in the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was just a governor of the people, and Saidianchi, the political affairs of Pingzhang, controlled all officials of Shaanxi's Five Roads and Sichuan Xingshuyuan.
What is even more rare is that after China established a province in Yunnan, it was the first political affairs officer of Yunnan. During his reign, he devoted his wholehearted efforts to make Yunnan truly integrate into the territory of China. Kublai Khan heard the news of his death and cried loudly.
In terms of origin, Zheng He was considered a descendant of the nobles. His family has a long history and a profound background. His father, who died in the war, was also given the title of Marquis of Dianyang.
However, when the Yuan and Ming dynasties changed, his descendants of nobles fell into the hands of the Ming army...
When Lan Yu, Fu Youde and others pacified Yunnan, the thing that those who killed people liked to do was to plunder the descendants of such noble people, then directly kill them, and then send them to the palace...
In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, when Zheng He was a child, he became a eunuch. After going through many twists and turns, he was sent to Zhu Di to serve him.
But unlike ordinary eunuchs, it may be because Zheng He had a good background and received strict education since childhood. Zhu Di quickly discovered that this young eunuch was both literary and military. After being with him, he showed his superhuman talent.
This time, Zhu Gaochi, the eldest son, went to sea, and because he could not bring women, he specially asked Zheng He to come and accompany him.
"Damn it, it's going to be dead!" Zhu Gaochi lay on the couch, his bulging belly kept rising and falling, and he was weak in his mouth. "It's going to be dead, and he vomited all the bitter gallbladder!"
"Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense!" Zheng He spoke very softly and pleasantly, "You are the prince of the King of Yan, how can you be as vulgar as a rough man? Outsiders listened..."
"Okay, OK, Sanbao, come and teach me a lesson too!" Zhu Gaochi pulled his fat hand open his collar, "Look at how many places this place are there? How much hardship did I suffer along the way? Going to sea? What's the best thing about this sea..."
Zhu Gaochi said in a vague manner that he was the prince of the King of Yan, and that he should pay attention to etiquette, law and dignity in front of outsiders, and could only complain in front of confidants like Zheng Sanbao.
However, Zheng He listened to Zhu Gaoxu's nagging while looking at the sea outside the cabin.
"The sea is pretty good. On the other side of the sea is another completely different world..."
He suddenly remembered what his father and grandfather said to him when he was a child. The sea was far wider than the land. He remembered even more the strange overseas experiences that his father and grandfather had told him when he was a child.
By his grandfather's generation, his family had changed his surname to Ma, but because his ancestors believed in Islam, his ancestors had followed the fleet of Semuren to Mecca...
"I've suffered this trip..."
Zhu Gaochi was talking when he suddenly found that Zheng He was absent-minded, and then his eyes fell on the other party's wrist. He found that the other party was carrying a string of rosary and smiled, "Are you studying Buddhism just now?"
Zheng He's ancestors believed in Islam, but he himself believed in Buddhism.
Hearing this, Zheng He withdrew his gaze, smiled and took the rosary back into his sleeve, and said, "The uncle is joking, how can it be called research? It's just reading scriptures!" As he said that, he personally made a basin of clear water and sent it to Zhu Gaochi, "It's not that he's too much. You are now a national envoy, and you cross the sea to foreign countries. There is no precedent in the national dynasty."
"You are both the prince and the envoy, representing the face of the royal family and our Ming Dynasty, as well as the majesty of the Celestial Kingdom. No matter how hard or tired you are, you cannot complain. You must not complain, but also behave dignified..."
"I know! Sanbao, you are so long-winded!" Because I grew up together since I was a child, Zhu Gaochi also had such deep friendship with Zheng He in addition to his master and servant. "Isn't this in front of you? How can I say this when others give me face!"
