Two days later, the drizzle was still on the rippling lake surface like floating tides.

The pier here in Longjiang has been newly decorated, attracting countless officials and people to watch.

Prince Zhu Gaochi, wearing a python suit, came early in the morning.

Zhu Gaochi was particularly energetic today. His father ordered himself to be responsible for the reception. It seemed like a pleasing job, but behind this, he had a deeper intention. This intention clearly implies that the prince, as he can take it out to meet people.

It is very important to show it to others, because this is Zhu Gaochi's weakness. Think about it, if a superstar of the idol sect gave birth to an extremely ugly son in later generations, he would definitely not want to show it to others. Zhu Di's heroic martial arts already give people a sense of heroic spirit, but with such a son who is powerless and slightly disabled, you can imagine his thoughts.

Now, the father is finally willing to teach himself to appear on such an occasion, showing his face for a while in front of the people of the world and the vassal envoys.

For this reason, he deliberately wore a strong python suit and a silver crown on his head, walking slowly to hide his fatness and inconvenience of his legs and feet.

However, although two hours ago, there were reports from the fast horses that the fleet was about to arrive, but when they waited around the bell shed, they were always not here. Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but feel a little angry, but he was still angry.

Those who came with Xie Jin, Jin Youzi and Hu Yan, Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi were also allowed to come, but unfortunately, the two of them only said they were discomfort and went to work in the cabinet.

Zhu Gaochi was a little displeased about this, but Xie Jin smiled and said, "Your Highness, these two Yangs respect your highness quite much. But they couldn't help but have some concerns..."

Zhu Gaochi ate the tea, but smiled faintly: "Of course I know. People's hearts are separated from their belly, but I want to be the one who is responsible for the rulers and ministers, and abide by the ministers' words, but... the crown prince is also the king, and there is no one here. Mr. Reconciliation said a few words to open his heart. I have seen through it in the past few years. This crown prince is not like a king. Although his father is increasingly paying attention, his heart is always full of ups and downs, and I don't know when it will be."

Xie Jin's face was pale and he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, be careful of your words!"

Zhu Gaochi smiled slightly: "There are only you and me in this shed, and I am all my confidants nearby. They can't hear them, so what can I be careful about? Mr. Jie, thanks to you, without you, I may not be able to have this day without you in front of my father day and night, and I have been walking on thin ice for the past two years. My heart is really cold. How many people say that the prince is the future emperor, but they are all cautious and cautious. When they meet this palace, they don't even dare to say hello..."

Xie Jin listened silently to Zhu Gaochi's complaints. He felt over and over again, and finally heard someone outside say, "Here you come."

Zhu Gaochi immediately looked up straight, held his clothes and strode out.

When he went out, he heard countless amazement, and Zhu Gaochi's face was stunned, so he couldn't even care about his appearance.

On the spacious river, thousands of lurking and shouting horns on both sides were slowly coming upstream.

But this big ship is really amazing. The hull of more than ten feet is as high as six or seven floors, nearly forty feet long. Half of the hull is exposed, like an island swimming in a river. Especially the mast, even if it does not have a sail, it is actually comparable to the hull, which makes people look up and feel insignificant.

In fact, if people from later generations might not be able to experience this sense of majesty, but in this Ming Dynasty, you can imagine how surprised you are when you see a big ship like a palace floating on the river.

The monks, lay people and officials along the coast couldn't help but suck the cold air. The dark hull, the cabins were continuous, and the deck was piled with non-perishable cargo. The black sailors on the ship stood on the side of the ship. Compared with this big ship, they were like black spots.

Zhu Gaochi's chin was about to fall. In fact, before this, Xie Jin had said that Hao Fenglou boasted that he would not be able to build a big ship, and he would definitely use some small boats to do it perfunctorily.

If you just brought those small boats here, there might not be any complaints in the palace, but once you have a comparison, this barbarian country thousands of miles away is still like this. You, Hao Fenglou, boasted about building a ship, but compared with others, you are like a fireflies competing with the sun and the moon. Now that the envoys of all countries are coming to the court, can the court still be there?

What Your Majesty wants most is face. He was ridiculed by the envoys, and the military and civilians were amazed at the majesty of the ships of the small barbarian country. On the other hand, the Ming Dynasty was covered in dust. With His Majesty's competitive spirit, he would definitely be furious. If he took advantage of the situation and kicked Hao Fenglou from behind, even if Hao Fenglou was not guilty, his weight in his mind would be...will be wiped out.

Zhu Gaochi originally thought that such a small trick would be of no use to deal with a plump guy like Hao Fenglou.

But now... Zhu Gaochi's eyes suddenly lit up. He understood that Hao Fenglou was dead this time!

The big ship finally stopped, and then boarded the pallet. Zhu Gaochi was excited and hurried up to greet him.

Many people came down from the boat, including Kunlun slaves who were in dark autumn, and the rich man wearing Ming silk. The man with big eyes and a tall nose. At first glance, it first surprised Zhu Gaochi, but then he smiled and led officials from all over the world and went forward.

Unintentionally, Zhu Gaochi looked at Xie Jin who was following him deeply, lowered his voice and said, "The big cannibal boat is really amazing. Why is it just one ship coming?"

Xie Jin said: "It is said that the ship is too big and there are not enough boatmen, so he has to bring it in batches."

Zhu Gaochi smiled: "It's time to get out of the way, let everyone come and see this rare big ship. It's better to have fun alone than to have fun, and let everyone see the world."

Xie Jin smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, you have already made arrangements. I have a few friends. As long as they come, everyone from Nanjing City will come."

Zhu Gaochi smiled and said nothing. He laughed and had already headed towards the big cannibal who was coming to the pier.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The whole of Nanjing was shocked.

In this city of Nanjing, ordinary scholars often take the imperial examinations and then become officials. If they fail the imperial examinations, they will continue to study until the entrance examinations. Some of them have repeatedly failed and abandoned themselves, and simply changed to other industries.

But there are always a few scholars who may not be willing to take these two paths. They neither do the imperial examination nor do they manage other careers. Instead, they are idle every day and make associations to discuss mystery.

After the founding of the article, the atmosphere began to become more open, and the control of scholars was no longer so strict. In a sense, there was still a little bit of indulgence, because the emperor lived in the palace, and who knew you was beyond the reach of anyone. In the cabinet, from the six ministries and to various yamen, these officials were mostly scholars, so they would not suppress the "backwards". Otherwise, they would have stabbed the hornet's nest and would have been criticized by the Shilin for a few words.

So, as long as you don’t have too outrageous, no one cares about scholars. Since then, the phenomenon of association has rekindled. A group of scholars gathered together to find a quiet place, gathered together every now and then, writing poetry or discussing history, which is very easy.

And such a group of people will always have outstanding people, and these outstanding people are famous people. They are always the most outstanding people in the society and the most eye-catching. Naturally, their knowledge must be good and their moral character must be respected enough. Such people, not to mention ordinary scholars, even those who are officials in the court, admire him when they see him.

Wang Bin and Wang Kui are such people. They are rare famous scholars in Jiangyou. They have been famous for a while and have written many poems and are highly praised by the Shilin. Almost everywhere they go, countless people welcome them. What is even more rare and valuable is that they are still mountain people. This mountain people are not called casually. The so-called mountain people are hermits, which means people who do not want to be officials. They have such good knowledge but refuse to be officials. They regard fame and fortune as dirt. Such character is even more fascinating.

Therefore, everyone is proud to make friends with such people. Even the cabinet and Hanlin figures occasionally invite them to sit in the mansion, stealing a long time of leisure and talking about the past and present.

The reason why the capital was shocked was that the problem lies here. These two brothers went to Longjiang together.

Longjiang is actually not a good place. It is just a suburb. Although Nanjing is constantly expanding, it is no longer just the size of the city, but there are many houses outside the city. However, Longjiang is still too far-fetched. Apart from some mud legs, ordinary talented men and beautiful women will never go there.

Not only did Wang Bin and Wang Kui go there, they were also shocked by a sea boat. Then, they wrote a poem there, praised the big ship, but they still lingered and refused to return to the city.

I'm afraid no one can tell whether this story is exaggerated. However, these deeds have been spreading wildly in the circle of scholars, so many people aroused curiosity. It's not far away anyway, and they're idle again, so it's better to go and see it.

Everyone was in groups and invited each other, and they were excited and headed to Longjiang. There were more and more large ships moored on the Longjiang River, which almost blocked the river. There were no scenic spots there, so scholars naturally would not be interested in this. This attention naturally turned to the large ship that shocked them.
