Chapter 2172: A Ray of Hope
"Fang Xing is so blatant?"
"He will become the emperor's teacher in the future. Who can you ask him to support if he doesn't support the eldest prince?"
"But it's too early now! Who bets so early? Let's not talk about anything else. What if something unexpected happens in the middle?"
"What accident?"
"You are stupid! If something happens to the eldest prince, Fang Xing will be dumbfounded."
The two readers thought they spoke in a low voice, and they were surrounded by peddlers, so they were very bold.
Just as they were talking nonsense, a man with a bamboo hat came over, slapped a waist card on their table, and sneered: "The East Factory is questioning, come with me!"
Not mentioning these two unlucky guys, the biggest news in the capital today is that the eldest son went to Zhixingyuan and participated in the ceremony that only Zhu Zhanji could participate in in the past, and then the capital was boiling.
The memorials rushed into the Forbidden City, and there were impeachments: they impeached Fang Xing for putting Yumi in danger.
Some praised him: His Highness is a natural beauty, he has such grace at such a young age, and he will definitely be able to rule the world in the future.
No one dared to say that Yumi would rule the world in the future. At most, they said that the royal family had a smart child, which was a cause for celebration.
For a while, the Queen's place became a hot spot, while Sun's place was deserted.
But the Queen just closed the door and let the concubines think about how to surround and "accidentally meet" Zhu Zhanji.
And Sun's place remained the same, neither sad nor happy. The imperial doctor came to diagnose her pulse every day, and Sun took a walk in the yard every day.
Everything was running in order, so this is the Tao.
"What is Tao?"
Hong Bao looked at the familiar dark clouds and the big waves ahead, and said: "The Tao of officials is to govern the country, the Tao of soldiers is to defend the country, and our Tao"
He looked at the crew members who were no longer as afraid as last time and said: "Our Tao is to fight against the wind and waves. Before we die, we are the winners!"
"Eunuch, the fleet has encountered a favorable wind. As long as we pass this place, we can reach Daming in March at the latest."
Zhang Wang knew that this was a checkpoint,
and it would be a smooth road after passing it, so he just went to mobilize.
Hong Bao nodded and saw that someone was drawing the terrain on both sides and would draw a map later.
Someone climbed to the top of the mast and looked around. They would not come down before entering the storm.
These are people who are loyal to their duties.
Hong Bao asked, "Where are those people?"
Zhang Wang said murderously, "We have already assigned more people to watch them. If they don't behave, just throw them into the sea."
"Okay!"
Hong Bao felt that everything was ready, except for a good meal, so he ordered, "Make a good meal for everyone to eat, and bring out the wine, but don't get drunk."
So a big meal began immediately. Everyone knew that this might be the last meal before execution, and after eating this meal, there would be no next meal, so they cherished it especially.
The chefs were not stingy, they took out all the good things, and used all the skills at the bottom of the box. For a while, the fleet was full of fragrance.
The envoys locked in the cabin under the deck also smelled the fragrance. Doc sniffed the smell and said, "They are having a feast. What does this mean?"
Abel said lazily, "Either they found something or they survived the danger. Well, we should be able to eat together."
Henry sat in silence. Hearing the two arguing about this, he whispered, "Don't forget one thing. There are very few deaths among the Ming people."
The cabin was suddenly silent. Henry, as the top navigation expert, expressed his opinion.
"Sailing is a matter of gambling with the gods. It is very likely that you will not come back after going out. Some people are lost, some are destroyed by wind and waves, but the biggest problem is illness."
Doc nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't hear their people crying, nor did I hear anyone being thrown into the sea."
"No, there is one."
Abel habitually exposed the shortcomings of the grudges: "That person followed your orders to test the Ming people, but was caught and thrown into the sea. I remember it was off the coast of Lisbon, right?"
At that time, the Ming people called all the envoys to see how they threw the Plantagenet man into the sea.
Doc looked at Abel gloomily and said, "Don't talk about this, it's for everyone's good."
"The Ming people didn't catch turtles or drink alcohol, but they didn't get sick. How did they achieve this?"
Doc shook his head to show that he didn't understand, and Abel was even more of an ocean idiot. He had only recently started to take supplementary lessons with the people in the delegation.
Henry said, "The biggest enemy of navigation is disease. If we can know the medical skills and medicines of the Ming people, then I think this discovery will not be inferior to the Ming people's method of making firearms."
"Really?"
Doc's eyes flashed with greed, and he said, "We need to cooperate, but the last time it was my people, this time it's your people's turn."
Henry shook his head and said, "I don't want to anger the envoy. I've seen his eyes, it's very dangerous, and the person he wants to kill the most is me, so my people can't go out."
Abel frowned and said, "Then my people can't go out even more."
The three of them were silent for a while, and Henry said, "When we get to the Ming people, we have more opportunities."
But everyone knows that when they get to the Ming people, unless there is no way out, the three families will separate and seek benefits by luck.
"Shut up!"
There was a sound of kicking the door outside, and Henry said helplessly: "Well, it seems that our friend is a little uneasy."
At this time, the ship moved a little, and Doc said: "Stop the ship. This is the first time we stop the ship for dinner. Be careful!"
"Our life and death are in their hands. Pray."
Hong Bao drank a few glasses of wine. Since the day before yesterday, his eyebrows have been beating, and his heart is beating.
Just to appease the morale of the army, he never showed any abnormality.
He felt that he should die, and maybe he would die in the storm ahead.
He smashed the cup on the ground, and Zhang Wang and others followed suit, but they smashed the bowls, the Ming Dynasty bowls that made the Westerners crazy.
Hong Bao stood up and said: "Let's go, let's meet those storms again!"
"Okay! Follow the father-in-law, don't be afraid of it!"
"Go, go, go! Let's take a look."
Everyone walked out of the cabin together, but saw Hong Bao standing outside motionless, with a dull look.
They looked forward, and countless crew members and sergeants stood on the deck, staring blankly ahead.
Zhang Wang ran a few steps to the right, jumped onto a platform, and then saw the distance.
If someone used the words "windy and sunny" to describe the scenery and climate of a place to Zhang Wang before, he would feel bored.
Jinling's summer can make people forget this word, and only think of winter, no matter how cold it is.
But now there is only this word in his mind.
"Windy and sunny"
Just in the distance, before they had dinner, the sky was still overcast, but now the sun was high in the sky, and the white clouds in the sky stopped moving, as if time had stopped there.
