[332] Zheng He Enters Beijing(2/3)
"Is this the imperial envoy's intention?"
When he arrived in the capital, Wang Jinghong calmed down and did not dare to make rash decisions in front of the Shangshu Gate. He only said, "It is not just the imperial envoy, but also the more than ten eunuchs and deputy envoys, who are all discussed together!"
"Hiss." The people from the Ministry of Rites were gasping for a cold air and looked at each other.
More than a dozen eunuchs are not united and have their own factions, so that they can ensure that the authority to sail from oceans can be stable and no one will rebel. They intend to borrow military power overseas to become independent.
Now more than ten chief and deputy envoys share the same will, which will inevitably involve major issues.
This time, only whispered to the two of them, and the minister and the doctor dared to speak and remain silent.
At the same time, Zheng He had already greeted the officials in the court, and the atmosphere was in a good mood.
"Go and order Bao'en Temple to retreat, everyone in Tianfei Palace will retreat, and the Xiangxiang vow is temporarily gone!"
Wang Jinghong then relaxed, looked behind him and said, "Don't blame me, Lord Shangshu, I still need to accompany you. I will thank you again after the celebration today."
He came and went quickly and returned to his original position.
The people from the Ministry of Rites were puzzled: "It is a rule to carry out incense and fulfill their vows. Why don't you respect the old rituals? The last time Zheng He thanked the monks of the Tianfei Palace, the last time, even if they encountered storms and dangers during this trip, they should not be so presumptuous."
"Why are there two young children beside Wang Jinghong?"
"Is it possible that there is a prince of some country, and the princess is... Hiss, why do those people dress so strangely, and they also have a face from the Yuan Dynasty."
Jueyu and others landed on the shore this time, and their presence was extremely low.
Others didn't pay attention.
However, because Wang Jinghong's instructions and positioning, the people of the Ministry of Rites discovered the clues.
But it’s useless to think about it just by thinking about it.
All the envoys landed on the shore, and firecrackers were ringing;
Immediately afterwards, servants from foreign envoys began to drive away the rare beasts.
At this time, there was no name, but everyone knows that these rare beasts were tributed by envoys from other countries.
He got off the boat at a few giraffes of different sizes, which attracted everyone's surprise.
“What is this?”
"The horse is not a horse, but it has the fur of a deer, but the neck is about to climb to the sky..."
"Auspiciousness is for auspiciousness, or for the name of Qilin written in ancient books!"
Seeing that everyone was excited, Zheng He finally explained: "This is a strange beast given to Malindi Country. Is it necessary to explain it in detail after entering the palace!"
The officials eagerly responded and wished the imperial envoy a happy triumphant victory.
And there are undercurrents in the darkness.
"Those are Malindi?"
"Ten days ago, Quanzhou sent a message, and a visit from the Malindi Kingdom in the depths of the West, was highly praised by Zheng He and others..."
"What's even more strange is those young people and two young children."
"The deputy envoy Wang Jinghong actually made a wild statement to the Fujian Provincial Administration and threatened that if someone in Fujian offends the envoy, his nine clans would be killed!
”
The messenger's delivery is rushing at 800 miles, so it is naturally faster than the ship's sea and land.
It was not because of this that the abnormal situation of returning to Zheng He and others;
The officials in the court paid more attention to Zheng He's harvest of gold and silver treasures during this trip.
The treasury is empty.
Although Your Majesty's northern expedition to the Oirat has come to an end, it has cost a lot of money. No news has come yet to come, whether the Oirat tribes have made up for compensation.
In addition, British Duke Zhang Fu came out from the southwest to suppress the rebellion, and also drew a large amount of troops, money and food.
The only investment return that China Middle School can expect is to dredge the river, which will restart the canal transport and abolish the excessive loss of sea transportation.
The canal transportation will benefit all regions along the coast and connect the north and south.
Zheng He and his group were all gifted with money.
After the rare beasts got off the ship, many sealed treasure chests were listed on the shore and loaded quickly.
The scale of this time is far more than the previous times.
After all, there was an act of suppressing the rebellion of Sukanla, and the indigenous Sumatra states contributed almost half of the treasury wealth and paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty to express their gratitude.
The dock was boiling, and officials from various departments were full of red faces.
After a series of carriages that were beyond the end came into the military camp in the north of the city first, the sergeants on the ship carried a large number of unknown "local products" off the ship.
Everyone saw that the "local products" were covered with soil, with different appearances, strange and unbearable appearance, which made people frown.
That's it...
Tang Jing and several generals ordered the deployment and gathering to guard the "local products"—
"This thing must not be lost, it will be lost in a slight amount!"
"Those who dare to attack ten steps will be killed without mercy!"
Wow.
The scene exclaimed again, wondering which was the mess.
The generals of the Nanjing Governor's Office were all dissatisfied and had already reached the emperor's feet. How could you come to your Western officers and soldiers to show your power?
Zheng He stood up immediately and whispered: "This treasure is the most precious gain of this trip. Only these few values can match the gains from the West several times!"
"I personally gave the imperial envoy to the emperor to worship the saint of Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty. Before His Majesty has been removed from his name, I should follow the imperial envoy's orders!"
"Tang Jing!"
Tang Jing stepped out: "The last one is here!"
"You will personally escort the treasure into the city, and there must be no mistakes!"
"yes!"
Everyone's expressions suddenly changed, and people became even more angry: "Zheng Sanbao, do you want to lead troops into the city? What do you mean by?!"
"It's unreasonable. Your Majesty personally conquered the Ola and ordered the six tribes to be the crown prince to supervise the country. If you, as an imperial envoy, dare to disobey the crown prince and the six tribes?"
On the side, Wang Jinghong hugged his arms and started to laugh coldly.
This place is not as good as Quanzhou, so he cannot be called an imperial envoy, so he naturally cannot act violently.
Therefore, more than a dozen of them had already discussed this trip. After arriving in Beijing, Zheng He was still required to preside over the overall situation and suppress the situation.
Zheng He took a deep breath. He was not a person who did not want to offend others, but the "god-given thing" was related to the hunger and fullness of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty and implicated the fate of the country.
If he is not taken care of himself and is consumed by others, he will be a sinner forever.
It is precisely because of this that he agreed to Wang Jinghong and others' proposals, and everything else could be given up, and it would not work for "a gift from God"!
"If you don't believe Zheng..."
"Okay, all the gains from the Western Ocean have been ashore. I can take the Western generals to the Shuntian Mansion north and bring this item directly to Your Majesty!"
"Zheng has no stranger intentions, and heaven and earth can be seen, but Zheng vows to ensure that this thing is complete and intact and hand it over to Your Majesty. Otherwise, I, Zheng, will let Your Majesty down and take care of the millions of people in the Ming Dynasty!"
Zheng He finished his words and was very imposing.
Those who know him all understand that Zheng Sanbao is not a pretentious person.
Anyone who makes the voice heard is Wang Jinghong, and officials of the six ministries will not show weakness at all.
It's Zheng He...
Reckless man!
This reckless man will do his best!
The six ministries quickly gathered together and began to discuss.
Earlier, officials from the Ministry of Rites of Wang Jinghong's tribe realized that this matter was becoming more and more abnormal.
Especially before Zheng He started to speak out, several people clearly saw the old Yin and Yang people sneered without fear on their faces.
Zheng He and Wang Jinghong are only in the fourth rank. As the fourth rank eunuch, if the senior officials in the court are impeached, they will not have a good idea.
However, this group of people obviously looked willing to do their best and were not afraid of losing the money.
That must be because this treasure is indeed huge, and it will only make you happy when you send it to His Majesty.
"Zheng He will not do anything randomly, he is a minister who follows the dragon."
"But how could he lead his troops into the city?"
"Then let him only enter the north of the city. If he wants to enter the city, they can only go alone. The rest of the soldiers will be supervised and guarded by the Nanjing Governor's Office!"
"Can!"
"This is the only way!"
