Chapter 1937 The Meaning of Living

The fleet began to part and a small boat approached the treasure ship. The hanging ladder on the treasure ship hung down, and Hong Baogong cupped his hands and said, "Please tell the father-in-law that our family will never lose face of Daming, otherwise after death, the soul will be scattered and will not return to the ancestral hall."

Most of the eunuchs who were reused had adopted sons, and most of the adopted sons were their own nephews.

The purpose of accepting the adopted son is to have incense and worship after he goes, so that the soul can return to his hometown and attach to the tablet.

This is probably the spiritual belief of people at this time!

So Hong Bao's vow couldn't be more important than any death.

"We are all from Yunnan. Our family is older than you and your father-in-law. We are over fifty. It is not a pity to go first."

Hong Bao rejected the hanging basket, climbed up the hanging ladder with difficulty, and then slowly climbed down.

Standing on the boat, Wang Jinghong watched Hong Bao get on the boat and head to the small fleet on the left.

His face was normal, but his eyes were sad.

Everyone is in their fifties, how many times can they go to sea in the future?

I can't go to sea anymore. According to the way of the current emperor, will everyone have a chance to come out to do things in the future?

Nothing to do is the greatest pain, this is the consensus of the eunuchs. So they are very passionate about power, and they are willing to dive headlong into all kinds of disputes for this reason, and take pleasure in it.

Hong Bao boarded a warship, cupped his hands towards Wang Jinghong, looked at everyone, and said sharply, "Our family will take you to places you don't know, who wouldn't want to go?"

No one made a sound, but Hong Bao knew that these soldiers must have emotions in their hearts, but they had to participate because of the military law.

"Most of the people on this ship have wives and children. You miss your wives and children. Our family has no wives and children, and no real descendants..."

Hong Bao's words make people feel sad, but human nature is selfish, what business do you care about us if you get cut?

Indifferent, and then still silent.

"For Daming!"

Hong Bao said solemnly: "Bo Xinghe has sent people to Tianfang to inquire about the movements of the Taixi people. He said that the Taixi people will be a threat to Ming Dynasty in the future, the biggest threat, and the only threat."

Everyone couldn't help but look at Hong Bao. Daming gave people the impression that he was in the wild, and all the enemies were already kneeling at his feet.

Are there any enemies?

"So let's go take a look and act as Daming's eyes to see Taixi, even if we die a hundred times, we will have no regrets!"

Hong Bao walked to the bow of the boat, turned around and said, "Our family promises not to leave you alone, let's go!"

The small flotilla set off slowly, Wang Jinghong watched quietly, letting the tragic atmosphere spread in the flotilla.

He waved his hand and said, "Should the flag!"

The flags on the ships waved immediately, and someone shouted: "Good man!"

"Good man!"

Everyone is a person floating in the sea, how could they not know the danger of this trip, seeing Hong Bao's decisiveness at this moment, they couldn't help applauding.

A eunuch who is praised as a good man is probably unprecedented, and there will be no one in the future.

...

"We're not in a hurry with Tessie."

Zhu Zhanji's knowledge of this world probably comes from Fang Xing,

Later, relying on information from various parties, especially the fleet, Zheng He always brought some new news every time he returned from a voyage.

So he has a relatively clear understanding of overseas and is very calm.

In contrast, after the arrival of the Frankish mission, Fang Xing seemed extremely eager.

Yang Rong knew that the queen was going to give birth soon, so he didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he said: "Your Majesty, Taixi is far away, no matter whether it is Daming or Taixi, it is impossible to threaten the other party, so we should devote all our efforts to the country. When Daming is strong, Just like Frank, he will naturally take the initiative to seek cooperation."

Zhu Zhanji was also a little restless. He said: "This matter is not urgent, and the covenant with Frank is not urgent. I even think it doesn't matter whether I sign or not. Well, let's go, Bachelor Yang."

Yang Rong resigned and asked after returning to the value room: "Is there any progress in the negotiation between the Ministry of Rites and the Frankish envoy?"

Almost no one paid attention to this matter, so someone asked, and came back later to report: "Master Yang, Mr. Chen from the Ministry of Rites..."

Seeing the pained look on the little official's face, Yang Rong frowned and said, "What makes you so embarrassed?"

The little official couldn't hold back suddenly, and burst out laughing.

Laughing wildly in front of several bosses, what kind of behavior is this?

To say this matter is trivial is to be frivolous, to say that it is too big is to despise the Shangguan, he deserves to die!

The little official also knew it was wrong, but couldn't bear it. After he suppressed his laughter, he saw that the faces of the assistant scholars in the duty room were all ugly, so he knelt down and said, "The little one just couldn't help it for a while, please forgive me, my lords."

"Hurry up and talk!"

Yang Rong is also waiting for the news of the queen's birth. He hopes to be a prince. But giving birth to a woman is like hell. Before seeing that little thing, who would know if it is the prince or not.

So he was a little anxious, he didn't want to see turmoil in the royal family, he hoped that according to the tradition, the empress would always stabilize her position, and there would be no difficulty in Ming Dynasty's smooth transition in the future.

"My lords, Mr. Chen has become good friends with the Frankish envoy, and now they all went to take a bath naked together."

...

"They actually... actually went to take a bath together?"

Fang Xing's expression was weird, he was thinking about soap.

Huang Zhong nodded, and couldn't help but said with a bit of laughter: "The people in the Ministry of Rites couldn't see this matter, so they said it when they were complaining."

Seeing Fang Xing, he tilted his head and suppressed a smile

, Huang Zhong laughed and shook his body, and then said: "People from the Ministry of Rites said that this incident is unique, and it will probably be recorded in the annals of history in the future, and it will also disgrace Daming and the Ministry of Rites."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Fang Xing finally couldn't help laughing, Huang Zhong followed suit, the laughter spread from the study, the knife outside looked inside, then bit the grass root, thinking of the children at home, couldn't help but be lost in thought.

In the study room, the laughter did not stop, Fang Xing said: "This is his trick, let's be honest, I don't think it's shameful."

Chen Mo followed Huang Jinlu to the sea, and he relied on this trick to win the trust of the natives along the way. Now that he returns to the country to serve, he will naturally carry forward this trick.

There was silence between the two of them for a while, Huang Zhong said: "Uncle, Madam, I'm afraid it will only be in these two days."

Fang Xing was a little irritable, he was playing with a jade pendant, his breathing was a little short, and he said, "I'll go out for a while."

It is best to take a walk if you are restless, but Fang Xing went to Qingshou Temple on a whim.

Ming Xin actually got fatter, looking at her white and fat, she looks a little more honest.

"Are Xing and Bo worried about your empress? No, you are worried about the gender of that child."

In May, Qingshou Temple is cool and windy, and the path is quiet and silent.

"I like here."

Fang Xing looked up at the canopy that blocked the sunlight, and said with a smile: "I was too busy before, and I liked to be lazy, but now standing here, I think... I think your life is not bad."

Mingxin looked at the canopy of the tree, and said: "The poor monk often looks at this place, so he can't feel any emotion for a long time. Uncle Xinghe, are you thinking about tranquility?"

Moss grows around the trails as the canopy shades the sun and the surrounding woods cool the surrounding area.

A big tree fell on the left side of the path, and only a small part of the roots were connected to the ground, but it was still lush and green.

Fang Xing walked to the edge of the tree, squatted down, and touched the broken root, feeling peaceful in his heart.

"I feel like two people, one of whom likes to live a quiet and lazy life. Read books and keep peace of mind. The other wants to get out of the house and do something that others have never done, or others are afraid to do, and don't want to. what I did..."

Fang Xing looked at Ming Xin sideways, and asked with a smile, "Do you think I'm hysterical?"
