Chapter Three Hundred and Forty Two: Misfortune Causes Xiao Qiang
Compared to Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu, Hao Fenglou and Prince Zhu Gaochi from any angle, most of them are third-class disabled in the "martial arts world". Hao Fenglou is better. Although he can't draw a bow and shoot arrows, he can still get on the horse. However, Zhu Gaochi is obese and bloated, and even needs the support of an internal official to get on a horse. He stepped on a high stool and panted. Therefore, whenever he encounters his father's hobby, he always smiles and stands on the side and stares silently.
But now, there was a guy who was not likable standing next to him, but this guy kept applauding the people in the school, which naturally caused a lot of trouble to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Zhu Gaochi's eyes turned, he glanced at Hao Fenglou with a squint, but suddenly said: "I have heard of the Emperor's musket, why didn't the Emperor's musket go to the colonel field to try the power of this musket?"
Hao Fenglou immediately knew Zhu Gaochi's thoughts. His musket was indeed sharp. Sitting on the horse and firing out the musket, even if he didn't hit the target, it would be horrifying. However, Zhu Gaochi encouraged himself to appear, but obviously deliberately let himself weaken the limelight of the Han King Zhu Gaoxu. Zhu Gaoxu relied on the arch and horse to gain the love of his father. Even if he had a good relationship with Hao Fenglou and was stolen by others, he was afraid that he would feel unhappy. This was obviously Zhu Gaochi's so-called trick of driving away tigers and swallowing wolves.
Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "This... Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is my specialty, so there is no need to make a fool of myself."
He deliberately took the words "The Prince" seriously and deliberately showed his alienation.
Seeing that Hao Fenglou was not deceived, Zhu Gaochi just smiled. However, he said, "This may not be the reputation of the emperor's brother, I am well-known. The emperor is too modest. Look at the King of Han, the bow and horse are really good. That is, a few days ago, several scholars praised him, saying that His Highness the King of Han will definitely be a tiger general in the future."
Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "Isn't Your Majesty also a tiger general?"
Zhu Gaochi's eyes suddenly became more complicated, and his eyes narrowed. Only a thread of gap projected out the dark and deep pupils. Obviously, he understood what Hao Fenglou meant, and the King of Han might not be just a tiger general. Moreover, whether it was a tiger general was not his final say.
After a moment of silence, Zhu Gaochi laughed dryly and said, "You said it well, it's not bad..."
Immediately afterwards, the two ignored each other. Hao Fenglou didn't care about his feelings. Anyway, he had offended him. With his temperament, he could not imagine looking forward to him over and laughing at you.
After half an hour, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu and his son were sweating profusely and led the horse out. Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "The father's bow and horse are not as good as the father in those days. Although the sons were in their prime, they were always unable to match the father."
Zhu Di laughed and said, "This is your promise to me. Do you think I don't know? Well, this is your filial piety. I don't blame you."
When he went to the pavilion on the side to have tea, Zhu Gaochi found an opportunity to interject: "Father, the emperor is a blessing for the country."
Zhu Di'er felt his head and immediately picked up the tea and drank it. Suddenly asked Hao Fenglou: "Hao Fenglou, how is the Beizhen Prefecture Department recently?"
Hao Fenglou replied: "Everything is in order."
This answer is the most perceived, you can advance or retreat. If Zhu Di reveals his dissatisfaction with the Beizhen Prefecture Department, Hao Fenglou can be said that although it is well-organized, there are omissions. Please don’t blame the Holy Emperor. If Zhu Di feels satisfied, this sentence also implies modestness.
Zhu Di just smiled and continued, "It's good to do things, okay, I won't make things difficult for you three young people to accompany you. I know you are not interested in being by my side every day. I am old and have a strange temper. How many younger generations have such patience? It would be great to have Zheng He here, you all go back."
Even the three of them said something, as if they were reluctant to accompany each other day and night, they all took the opportunity to say goodbye.
Zhu Di was still in the pavilion, but he waved to Zheng He who was standing far away. Zheng He stepped forward and said, "What are your instructions?"
Zhu Di blew the tea foam and said slowly: "Just...when I talked about King Zhao, the prince and the King of Han were both displeased. Maybe I was blinded. Have you seen it clearly?"
Zheng He's face changed, and he didn't dare to say anything. This kind of thing was not something he could discuss. Any answer might put him in danger, so he hurriedly said, "I saw nothing."
Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and thoughtful, but finally sighed leisurely: "What have I been saying? It's not worry-free to be the emperor. Is this right? I really hope that their brothers can be harmonious forever, but... it's easy to say but difficult to do."
His eyes were a little melancholy at first, but the next moment suddenly became sharp: "I gave the order to let the Jinyiwei and the Censorate to check the Longjiang Shipyard. I always felt that it was a bit wrong. Even if it was nothing, I would just take it as a blow. If these people didn't beat them, they wouldn't know how to do their best. I don't have time to tell them how to build a ship."
Zheng He hurriedly said, "I obey the order."
Zhu Di's face then calmed down, and then said, "Zheng He, you have been with me for a few years. Thank you for your hard work from the 20th year of Hongwu to the present. I am thinking that I can't keep you forever. You have the ability to learn from Mr. Yao. I can't let you serve others all your life, otherwise I will not be sorry to you."
After hearing this, Zheng He's eyes turned red and said, "I am willing to serve Your Majesty."
Zhu Di shook his head and said, "No, no, no, now it's not. I plan to go to the West, but I need someone who can trust me. This person has entered the vast ocean and controlled so many people. If someone makes a mistake, I can do nothing. Therefore, I must have someone who can trust me. After thinking about it, only you are the most suitable. You can go to the West on my behalf and patrol the world on behalf of the heavens. It's hard, but it's also a success. Things are settled."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "But now, what I care most about is to build a ship. If I can't build a ship or waste time, I don't have so much effort to spend money, I can't afford to delay. I am not young anymore, and there are too many facts to do... When I was wearing a mirror in the early morning, I saw a few white hairs between my temples. I am not a woman, and although I am not as sad as a woman, I still feel unhappy in my heart. Life is like a flash of time, and I can't delay it. If I delay any more, I will accomplish nothing."
Zhu Di's emotions changed extremely complicatedly. At this time, Zheng He's emotions were probably not much better. The master and slave were thinking about their worries, but they didn't say anything for a long time.

Hao Fenglou left the palace and did not go to the Beizhen Prefecture Office. He hated the matter on this case. Now he finally put down his burden and naturally did not want to go to the trap. However, he thought it was too early to go home, so he simply went to the Qianhu in Dongcheng to sit idle.
The Thousand Houses in Dongcheng are considered the cornerstone of Hao Fenglou, and the people inside are closely related to Hao Fenglou.
When they heard that Hao Fenglou was coming, not only Qianjia Zeng Jian, but also Zhou Fang, the official secretary of Qianjia, and the hundreds of households in Qianjiayuan, all came to greet Hao Fenglou. These people were all promoted by Hao Fenglou. When Hao Fenglou was a 100 household, everyone fought and bragged together. Even though the status was very different now, they all felt so close.
Hao Fenglou was in a particularly good mood. He reached out to hold Zeng Jian's arm. The guy's arm was like a bull, with strong muscles. He couldn't help but sigh: "Why haven't there been any fat yet? How can I bear this? Zeng Qianhu, you don't need to use your life like this. Look at your appearance, black and strong, you have been on the streets a lot, right? You are a grand thousand household and go on the streets all day long. What should you do if you ask the people? Zeng Qianhu, listen to me, be a Jinyiwei, you must be restrained and never do the fishing activities of exhausting the lake."
Zeng Jian refuted loudly: "What is this? He has always been clear about treating people with humility. Even if he goes out to eat watermelon, he will be paid."
Hao Fenglou followed his words and said, "This is great, so let's invite Zeng Qianhu to treat us to melons."
Zeng Jian suddenly felt that he had been fooled, but he was generous and threw a small piece of silver out and asked several lieutenants to buy melons.
After joking for a while, the melon is still in the future, but a clerk from the Beizhen Prefecture Department came to the door.
The clerk politely said seriously: "Sir, the commander-in-chief heard that the Lord has left the palace, so he ordered the villain to ask the Lord to return to the Beizhen Prefecture Department as soon as possible, saying that there is something important to discuss."
How long has it been before someone found out about his whereabouts. Hao Fenglou couldn't help but frown and said, "But he doesn't know what's going on?"
The clerk shook his head and said, "I don't know if it's humble."
Hao Fenglou had no choice but to sigh and said to everyone: "I remember to keep my melon. If it is rotten, it will be Zeng Qianhu's fault. Come again next time, remember to double the portion. If there is something really wrong today, it's not easy to bother me, so it's all gone."
Everyone sent Hao Fenglou out together. Hao Fenglou agreed to come again next time, and then rushed to Beizhen Prefecture Department without stopping.
Ji Gang is indeed in trouble, and this trouble is quite large.
He was holding a newly handed over from the palace, but the content of the decree was vague.
Ji Gang's errands are different from others. Others' errands are doing things, but his errands are doing things, especially to be a person that the emperor thinks is useful.
He deeply understood this, so any person who took over and did anything the Jinyiwei took was greatly involved in the emperor's thoughts. How to do it was extremely important to His Majesty's appetite was extremely important to Ji Gang.
