However, Chu Yi would not tell Chen Du and others what he was thinking at this time. He would just have a smile on his face. However, Chu Yi wanted Chen Du and Han Chao to give birth to his own governor. This must be what Chu Yi thought.
The idea comes.
Sure enough, the power of role models is infinite, especially the influence of the three-guarantor eunuch Zheng He. Chu Yi somewhat underestimated the importance these eunuchs attached to their posthumous reputation.
After all, throughout history, those who have been glorious throughout the ages are civil servants and military generals, but there are very few eunuchs who have left their names.
Of course, that's not to say there aren't any, but most of the names left behind are like Zhao Gao, Zhang Rang, Gao Lishi and even Wang Zhen, who have been infamy for thousands of years.
Chen Du and Han Chao endured the excitement in their hearts and recalled their memories of the blueprints and materials of Zheng He's treasure ship.
The incident during the Chenghua period was not a big deal. After all, the emperor personally sent his confidants to the Ministry of War to ask for the blueprints and information of the treasure ship, but the Ministry of War directly rejected them. Later, it was even said that the blueprints and information were set on fire.
Burn.
Decades have passed, and most of the old people in the imperial court have disappeared. After all, the turnover in the imperial court is much faster than the turnover in the palace.
Perhaps few of the current court officials still remember what happened back then, but as chamberlains in the palace, Han Chao, Chen Du and the others have not forgotten it.
Chu Yi was not in a hurry. He did not expect to find the blueprints of the treasure ship immediately. Even if he did not burn them with fire at the beginning, in order to prevent future emperors from having the idea of opening the sea and building ships again, given the behavior of these civil servants in the court,
The treasure ship blueprints and information will definitely be hidden.
A bright light flashed in Han Chao's eyes and he said: "Master Governor, I thought of it. It seems that there is a record about the treasure ship in the Yongle Ceremony."
When Chu Yi heard this, he couldn't help but stood up suddenly, and said with a bit of surprise on his face: "Is there still such a thing?"
At this moment, Chen Du also nodded and said: "If nothing else happens, it must be in the Yongle Grand Ceremony. Even if there is no detailed record, there is at least general information."
Chu Yi couldn't help but think of the Yongle Dadian, the largest encyclopedia in China. This book was written during the Yongle period. At that time, Zheng He made seven voyages to the West. Such a big thing, Zheng He's fleet almost represented the top navy of the Ming Dynasty at that time.
It is impossible to say that there is no record of equipment in the Yongle Grand Ceremony.
In Huang Shichen's library, facing a dense row of bookshelves, tens of thousands of classics are neatly arranged in categories.
Han Chao stretched out his hand and pointed to a place and said: "Lord Governor, we found it!"
As he spoke, he took down a volume from the bookshelf. Chu Yi took a look at it. It contained records of Zheng He's voyages to the West.
Opening the book, first there was an introduction to Zheng He's voyages to the West, and then a reduced but accurate sea map appeared in Chu Yi's eyes.
Just by looking at this chart, Chu Yi was able to confirm that these were the countries that Zheng He passed through during his seven voyages to the West. The most important thing was the sea roads marked in detail on this chart.
The sea is mysterious and full of dangers. For sailing, the most important thing is the tool for sailing, that is, the big ship. The second is the sea route, which is the safe navigation route on the sea.
These safe navigation routes can avoid countless dangerous dangers in the sea. It can be said that countless sailors have explored them little by little with their lives. They have been marked and drawn by future generations, which are nautical charts.
The ship and the nautical chart can be said to be the biggest guarantee for Zheng He's seven successful voyages to the Western Ocean. Although the ship has not been found, the nautical chart was found by Chu Yi.
When Chu Yi's eyes fell on the navigation chart, Han Chao and Chen Du on the side also saw the chart. If they were able to control the emperor Shicheng, Han Chao, and Chen Du talked about erudition,
I'm afraid even the great bachelors in the imperial court may not be able to match them.
Even a foolish person who has stayed in a place like Huang Shichen for decades will probably be nurtured with talents.
So when it comes to South Korea and North Korea, Chen Du knows very well what navigation charts mean.
After finding the navigation chart, Chu Yi naturally expected to find drawings and information about the treasure ship in the Yongle Ceremony.
However, it is indeed recorded on it, but it is only briefly mentioned. It is simply unrealistic to rely on this record to build a ship.
You must know that a treasure ship involves all aspects. If the manufacturing information were written on paper, it would probably fill a room.
Putting the book down carefully, Chu Yi sighed softly and said: "It is recorded in it that the drawings and information about the construction of the treasure ship are stored in the Ministry of War."
I'm afraid that Emperor Yongle never dreamed that his later officials would actually burn the treasure ship's information in order to restrict the emperor and not allow him to open the sea.
Seeing that Chu Yi's expression was a little gloomy, Han Chao whispered: "Supervisor..."
Chu Yi took a deep breath and said to Han Chao and Chen Du: "You two, give me a copy of this chart and the introduction to the treasure ship. Especially the chart part, it must be accurate!"
The two responded.
Following Chu Yi, Wang Zhengdao said: "Lord Governor, do we want to go to the Yamen of the Ministry of War?"
Chu Yi looked at Wang Zheng with a strange look and said, "Why do you want to go to the Yamen of the Ministry of War?"
Wang Zheng wondered: "Isn't the governor looking for treasure ship drawings and information? If we don't go to the Ministry of War Yamen, what else can we do..."
Chu Yi shook his head slightly and said: "Go back to Dongchang first."
Although he was puzzled, Wang Zheng always obeyed Chu Yi's orders, so he naturally followed Chu Yi back to Dongchang.
As soon as he returned to the East Factory, he saw a foreman eunuch coming forward. He was one of Wang Zheng's confidants who had conquered the East Factory.
The foreman eunuch handed a confidential letter to Wang Zheng and whispered a few words. Wang Zheng's expression changed slightly.
At this moment, Chu Yi was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, with a portrait of Yue Fei behind him. Seeing Wang Zheng approaching quickly, he put down the teacup in his hand and said, "What's the matter?"
General Wang Zheng presented the letter in his hand to Chu Yi and said: "Lord Governor, this is the secret letter sent by someone from the cabinet not long ago."
Chu Yi raised his eyebrows. He really made a clever move when he chose to conquer Jiao Fang. Even Liu Jin never dreamed that Jiao Fang, whom he regarded as his confidant, would be Chu Yi's person. It can be said that with Jiao Fang here,
Every move of the Liu Jin Group is under Chu Yi's control.
Sometimes Liu Jin makes some small moves to deal with Chu Yi, and Chu Yi doesn't even need to take action. Jiao Fang alone can easily deal with it.
Not to mention anything else, just like when Liu Jin failed to recruit Chu Yi, Jiao Fang just changed the situation with a few simple words, allowing Liu Jin to turn his attention to Gu Dayong again.
Although it is said that even if Liu Jin deals with Chu Yi, it is impossible to cause much trouble to Chu Yi in a short while, but it is trouble after all, isn't it?
"Oh, it's already night. Old Jiao Ge sent someone to send a secret letter. Is there something important?"
While speaking, Chu Yi opened the secret letter and spread the letter with a flick of his hand. With a glance, he saw a bright light flashing in Chu Yi's eyes, and a smile gradually spread across Chu Yi's face.
[Well, thank you to the leader for the reward. This leader is a low-key person. He didn’t want his real name to be exposed, so he chose such a shameful name. Well, he must be really low-key! What can I do? I’m also desperate. 】
