Chapter 2033 Zheng He Returns

Fang Xing knew the embarrassing mentality of the outside world very well, so he prepared to enter the palace.

"I'm here to disgust people."

Fang Xing got on his horse with a smile and entered the city in a flash.

Beiping City is still bustling with people coming and going. Merchants from the north and south meet here, and the amount of money and goods coming in and out every day is astronomical.

The common people and businessmen naturally have little interest in the so-called prince's young master. For them, having enough to eat every day is their greatest enjoyment.

As for the rest, I'm sorry, unless you are a great traitor, who cares what official position you hold.

"Uncle."

Fang Xing did not look back. The visitor approached and asked, "Uncle, are you going to the palace to thank me?"

"No, let's go see His Highness."

"You're trying to be annoying, right?"

A faint fragrance came over her, and Jingyue walked on the right side of Fang Xing, slightly behind.

This woman was getting plumper now. Fang Xing took one look and thought of something.

Peach!

"I heard that you are living a very comfortable life now, which is good!"

"Thank you uncle, my daughter's life will be much better after that man is caught."

The past between Zhu Jiyi and her was like a cloud of smoke, no longer visible on this woman's body.

Fang Xing knew that this woman didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, but he didn't take the initiative to ask.

Sure enough, after a few words of greeting, Jingyue came closer and said, "Uncle, some people say that you are going further and further away, and you are a little complacent."

Most of the places where Jingyue operates have distinguished guests, so this news should be unmistakable.

"Thank you very much."

Fang Xing nodded slightly, then quickened his pace.

Jingyue stood there, looking at Fang Xing's back. It wasn't until the servant walked past her with the horse that she revealed a wry smile.

"Woman! You can't make a wrong step..."

This world is too harsh on women,

One wrong step is a lifetime mistake, and you can never look back.

Fang Xing knew that Jingyue had always wanted to find him as a backer, but he was not interested.

He knew that there were people who backed this kind of place, who not only had money, but also had women who could play freely.

He couldn't prevent this kind of place from appearing, but he didn't want to contaminate it, that's all.

After entering the palace and meeting Zhu Zhanji, Fang Xing said that he wanted to see Corn.

"I just received the news that Zheng He will be here soon."

Zhu Zhanji asked someone to go to the harem to inform him, and he and Fang Xing strolled in front of the palace.

"According to the schedule, they should not have explored the new route."

Zhu Zhanji had some regrets. As a young king, he was curious enough about the outside world.

Fang Xing was also very sorry, but he remembered that his future exploration of this route also experienced several hardships.

"Take your time, if it doesn't work this time, go again next time. Anyway, the ships will get better and better, and the experience will only increase. But Zheng He can no longer go to sea."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "I don't want him to die at sea. He will eventually die. This is the explanation for the hero."

Fang Xing hesitated for a moment and said, "There is a lot of discussion outside about the prince's young master's affairs. After all, it is not good for the children, so I wanted to come and take a look today. At least it makes sense."

Zhu Zhanji's face darkened and he said: "Many things are beyond our control, but the future of the Ming Dynasty is always the most important. Those people... I received a lot of memorials today, all of which were tentative questions about the children's teachers. ridiculous!"

"As long as I open my mouth, the great scholars from all over the Ming Dynasty and the important ministers in the court will be able to give me a list and pull them out of the palace from here!"

Fang Xing felt that it was still early for this matter, and there was no need for others to enlighten him. Getting into this fight at this time was obviously not in the long-term interests.

"Take your time, it will take several years. The quarrel at this time will continue until the child feels that the palace is not old enough for him to run away."

After Corn was brought over, Fang Xing took action.

The child was given some face and didn't cry, but his little body refused to settle down and kept struggling in his swaddling clothes.

Fang Xing smiled at Zhu Zhanji and said, "He is restless, but this is the best. He is too honest and will suffer when he grows up."

Fang Xing was much more professional than Zhu Zhanji in holding the baby, and the baby was also safe, but his eyes looked around, a little confused.

"He's a strong boy!"

Fang Xing made a comment with a smile, and then handed the child to the nanny.

"Your Majesty, Zheng He has entered the palace."

"so fast?"

Zhu Zhanji waved to the nanny to take the child back, and said: "Welcome him in."

Welcome is the treatment of a hero.

Zhu Zhanji did not plan to let Zheng He go to sea again, which was considered a courtesy to him.

The nanny returned to Kunning Palace with the corn in her arms. When she saw Hu Shanxiang, she said happily: "Mother, Xinghe is very happy to hold His Highness in his arms and says that His Highness is a strong boy."

As she said this, she looked around, Yi'an waved her hand, and the maids went out.

"But what else is there to say?"

Fang Xing can come to see the child at this time, this is just a gesture.

Uncle Ben has a destiny with this child!

The wet nurse whispered: "Earlier, Uncle Xinghe said that His Highness is restless."

Hu Shanxiang instantly turned pale, and Yi An shouted: "Finish your speech!"

The wet nurse held the child in her arms, and then said: "Uncle Xinghe went on to say that it is better to be restless. If you are honest, you will suffer when you grow up."

Only then did Hu Shanxiang rejoice. Yi'an glared at the wet nurse and said, "Uncle Xinghe, this is a reminder for His Majesty. If His Majesty is more adventurous in the future, he will have an explanation."

With the conscience of heaven and earth, Fang Xing just said this casually, but the people around Hu Shanxiang carefully considered it.

Zheng Hehei lost a lot of weight and looked old.

"I am guilty."

Zhu Zhanji's courtesy did not make Zheng He feel happy. He said bitterly: "The fleet encountered a storm in Mugudushu and lost several ships. I was also ill for several days. Hong Bao, the deputy commander of the fleet, was brave and took him with him. Several ships moved forward alone..."

Hong Bao?

Fang Xing thought of the eunuch who was a little obsessed with fame and fortune, and recalled the several exchanges with him, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Are you sure?"

Zhu Zhanji looked more and more like an emperor. He directly asked about the result, but he was not worried about the danger that the fleet would encounter.

Zheng He shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know. The fleet is too big. If we all go to explore the waterway, it will be difficult to supply supplies along the way."

He didn't say that he was going there, nor did he say that Hong Bao had drugged him.

This is responsibility!

Zhu Zhanji turned around and asked, "According to the land route deduction, what country should we pass through there?"

Fang Xing didn't need to think about it and said: "First, there is a large area of ​​​​Kunlunnu. Most of those places are ignorant, but it is not a good place at the moment... Next, we should go to Taixi, including Frank!"

Zhu Zhanji thought for a while and ordered: "Send the Frank envoy to come immediately, I want to see him."

"They haven't left yet?"

Fang Xing was a little stunned. He had not paid attention to this matter since he went to Jinan. Frank at this time was not worthy of his attention.

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said: "Those people want to explore the bottom line of Ming Dynasty, and also want to get some benefits back, but they have always failed."

Zhu Zhanji went to change clothes, while Fang Xing and Zheng He were talking in front of the palace.

"Mr. Zheng, please rest when you come back this time. Write a book and write down everything about your voyage. When the time comes, it will be published in the world. It will be considered a meritorious deed."

Fang Xing hopes that Zheng He's experience can inspire people's interest and curiosity in the sea, and leave a wealth of navigation information and experience to future generations.

At this time, there was no one around them. Zheng He pointed to his temples and lamented: "Our family is old, and we are in the open sea where our bones are tied. At that moment, our family just thought that they would be buried in the sea, but in the end we couldn't let go, so we I was going to take the small fleet there myself, but Hong Bao..."

Fang Xing was a little curious. Needless to say, Zheng He had control over the fleet. How did Hong Bao obtain his consent?

"He was drugged."

Fang Xing was stunned, but Zheng He was a little sad: "When our family woke up, he had already run away with the fleet. Wang Jinghong asked for forgiveness, but how can our family blame them? It's just... our health is not as good as theirs. If you want to die, it’s our family’s turn!”

He was not optimistic about the future of the Hongbao fleet, but Fang Xing felt there was hope.

"This is the first time our family has encountered a storm there. This is obviously a warning from God, but our family... is in a dilemma!"

The fleet set out this time with an excess of supplies. If they turned back in the face of a storm, their morale would be gone. Next time they set out to sea, most of them would be exhausted and no one would be willing to continue moving forward.
