Chapter 324: The Beginning of Restarting the Great Navigation (2)
"I also know that you also took the martial arts examination back then, but unfortunately you failed, which shows that you are very interested in martial arts.\\9vk.com first release\\And you are older than Yang Hong and Shi Biao, and you are in the army. , you also have outstanding military exploits and have made many achievements in southern Xinjiang. Now you are even the eunuch of the imperial horse supervisor. At least in terms of official position, you are still higher than Yang Hong and Shi Biao, but you can ask for advice humbly, and you can also It is very good to lead by body and mind, much better than many warriors." Zhu Qizhen's words made Cao Jixiang have the urge to burst into tears. As an eunuch, he has to distinguish between the near and far, and the most satisfying. Of course, they were the eunuchs who grew up with the emperor.
It seems that he has never heard such compliments since Cao Jixiang entered the palace. However, after he entered the palace, he finally gained the trust of Wang Zhen, the leader of the Ming Dynasty, with his own ability. , in the Royal Horse Prison, he worked hard step by step, and even volunteered to fight in order to climb up.
He led his army in the southern expedition and made great achievements in battle. In the end, he became the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Guard. But once Wang Zhen died, he had no backer. Even his position as the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Guard was dependent on him. Despite his abilities and military exploits, those who climbed up were still useless and were kicked far away.
If it weren't for Zhu Qizhen's return, if the Queen Mother hadn't found him, and if he hadn't made a timely decision at that time, maybe he would have continued to hang out in the capital camp.
But even so, he regained control of the Royal Horse Supervisor, but he still kept in mind that after all, Zhu Qizhen was not Zhu Qiyu. Looking at his current performance, although he was not as bloodthirsty as Taizong Zhu Di, he also had a resolute and resolute temperament. , has the appearance of a hero, and Zhu Qizhen's lukewarm attitude towards eunuchs since he entered the palace has made many eunuchs in the palace feel faintly uneasy.// 《》.com《》Novel Network//
No one knew what Zhu Qizhen was going to do, not to mention that the butcher knife Zhu Qizhen raised in the Xuan Mansion was aimed at the eunuchs. Therefore, although the eunuchs in the palace are not in danger, they are feeling anxious in their hearts. They were all very anxious.
But today, Zhu Qizhen called him over with such a smile and made such comments about himself. How could Cao Jixiang not be flattered?
"To be praised by Long Live Lord, I will be willing to die even if I die now." Cao Jixiang said again with his forehead touching the ground.
"Haha, get better. You are now in your prime. I still have important things to entrust you with, so don't say those unlucky words." Zhu Qizhen smiled and waved his hand, then turned his head, He ordered the guard next to him. The guard immediately moved into the back hall. After a while, he brought a wooden box about a foot thick and returned to Zhu Qizhen and placed it down.

"Long live my Lord, what are your orders? This old slave is so angry that he will not hesitate to do so." After hearing this, Cao Jixiang was overjoyed and hurriedly added. This shows that Zhu Qizhen still trusts him. If he can handle him well, If you leave things to yourself, it will definitely be more beneficial to you in the future.
"You don't have to agree to me in a hurry. You can take a look at these things first." Under Zhu Qizhen's signal, someone placed the wooden box about a foot thick in front of Cao Jixiang, with a puzzled look on his face.
After opening the box, Cao Jixiang looked at the books in the box that seemed to be brand new and looked at them carefully.
When Cao Jixiang saw clearly the words on the covers of the books one after another, Cao Jixiang's face couldn't help but feel a little more admiration, but he also became more suspicious. "Long live Lord, you are..."
"You should know all the words on the covers of these books, right?" Zhu Qizhen smiled and asked directly.
Cao Jixiang "replyed to Long Live Lord, among these books, the old slave has only read "Water Journey to the West", and the rest include "Historical Records of Western Countries" written by Gong Zhen, "Xingcha Shenglan" written by Fei Xin and Yuan Dynasty
"Zhi Dao Yi Zhi" written by Wang Dayuan has never been read by this slave."
"Have you read Wang Jinghong's "Water Journey to the West"?" Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but asked in surprise when he heard Cao Jixiang's words. Although this book has been published for about fifteen years, scholars in the Ming Dynasty,
The number of people who can name this book is probably less than 1%. If there is one person out of a thousand who has read this book, it would be considered a big deal.
Zhu Qizhen really didn't expect that Cao Jixiang had actually studied this book, which really made Zhu Qizhen feel a little unexpected, and Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but become curious.
"Back to Long Live Lord, I have indeed read Wang Gonggong's "Water Journey to the West". That was only a few years ago. Speaking of which, figures like Sanbao Gong and Jinghong Gong are in the hearts of us eunuchs.
"..." Having said this, Cao Jixiang, who seemed to be a rough-and-tumble man, smiled rather embarrassedly.
"Do you also hope that you will be famous in history like Sanbao Eunuch and Wang Jinghong?" Zhu Qizhen changed his position comfortably and started tapping the table with his fingers rhythmically. It seemed that he really
You didn't choose the wrong person.
When Cao Jixiang heard Zhu Qizhen's words, his originally red and black face could not help but turn a little red. He snarled for a long time, and then he said to the ground: "Old slave, please forgive me for your delusion."
"I am very happy that you have such ambitions. How can I blame you?" Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but shook his head and took a deep breath. "Emperor Taizong was a great leader. In order to subdue the barbarians, he
In order to show my majestic appearance of China, I will lead tens of thousands of eunuchs with three treasures, and more than a hundred giants, across the ocean, so that all nations will come to court, and the prosperous times will follow the Han and Tang Dynasties. I will also show to all the people in the world that I am the country of Chinese etiquette and the central country.
The power of Huanghuang Tianwei has further solved the policy of banning seas in Taizu's time, opened up overseas trade, and brought huge benefits to our Ming Dynasty, making our Ming Dynasty's products more abundant, and the people can also benefit from it..."
"...It is a pity that at the beginning of my reign, I was still young and did not understand the aspirations of my ancestor, Emperor Taizong, so I stopped this feat and stopped doing foreign business. It is a pity..."
Zhu Qizhen indeed felt regretful that the Chinese had embarked on unprecedented voyages more than a hundred years before the advent of the Western Age of Discovery, but they did not persevere, or in other words, they completely regarded it as political
Behavior.
Failure to take into account the interests of the country and not getting any benefits would naturally be a very costly and outweighing gain, so I finally stopped. But fortunately, I came to this era, and it was not until the last voyage.
In less than ten years, I can still catch up with the trip and catch the wind.
Zhu Qizhen finally recovered from his emotion, and his eyes fell back on Cao Jixiang's face: "Do you know why I collected these books and gave them to you?"
"Long live the Lord, I don't know..." Although he didn't know the answer, in fact, Cao Jixiang's heart started to beat wildly. Thinking about what Zhu Qizhen said just now, and then contacting these books, he felt vaguely
, Cao Jixiang already felt that it seemed that the great emperor in front of him really wanted him to do something great.
