Chapter 345 [344] The Immortal Fate of Longevity

In the imperial study.

The three of them were brought in, they were in a state of distress, full of travel and dust, and they didn't have the attire of a brocade guard, they only wore plain civilian clothes, and they were taken directly into the palace not long after they arrived.

"Wang Da."

"Qian Liu."

"Yu Hai."

"Meet His Majesty the Emperor."

The three bowed and cupped their hands in a respectful manner.

Zhu Di was still immersed in the shock of the "shocking news", but he didn't want to show his emotions in front of his courtiers, so his face was livid:
"Fei Xianyang, go out and guard, and order everyone to retreat fifty paces away."

Ji Gang was not accompanying him this time, and Jin Yiwei's fellow acquaintance Fei Xianyang followed.

This person is also the elder brother of Fei Xianwang, the governor of Jinyiwei Township, and both brothers hold important positions.

Fei Xianyang obeyed, turned and retreated, and closed the door.

He also heard all the footsteps outside the house, and gradually moved away.

Zhu Di turned around and sat down, staring at them.

Among the Western General Army, Zhu Di placed no less than 20 people, but now there are only these three people who have returned: "Where are the others? Why are there only three of you?"

Wang Dao: "Master Zheng ordered the ban, and the officials and people on board are not allowed to disembark at will."

Yu Hai added: "When Quanzhou is in port, except for one main ship, the rest are moored in the open sea."

"The three of us are all on the main ship, so we can jump into the sea and go ashore amidst the noise of the ceremony on the shore."

"Master Zheng stayed in Quanzhou for three days, then led his team north to Yingtian Mansion..."

"If there is no accident, there are other brothers who can escape after arriving at Yingtian Mansion."

"It's not like the three of us, starting from Quanzhou, changing horses at various Jinyiwei Posthouses, and arriving today."

From Quanzhou to Shuntianfu, there are more than 4000 miles of twists and turns.

The three of them traveled hundreds of miles a day to arrive so quickly, even leaving behind the Fujian Chief Secretary's residence newspaper.

Moreover, the mansion newspaper also had to enter the capital first, and then be transferred to Shuntian Mansion by the crown prince, the procedure was rather cumbersome.

Zhu Di frowned, and asked again: "Why did Zheng He order the ban?"

In fact, he knew the answer.

If the news brought by Fei Xianyang just now is true, there are gods overseas who established the Kingdom of God...

Once such news spreads widely, it may cause riots in various places.

All Zheng He could do was to control the spread of news as much as possible.

However, as an emperor, Zhu Di would never trust a courtier 100%.

Zheng He led the Western General Army with [-] officials and civilians, and drove a fleet of hundreds of treasure ships on the sea, looking down on everything!
Human beings have desires.

After one or two years, if people's hearts are inflated, it is not impossible for Zheng He to rebel.

With this capital, in a place like Sanfoqi, establish a city-state order, and establish yourself as a king, then even Daming will not be able to do anything to him.

Not to mention...

See the gods! !
This is the biggest variable.

Lords like Emperor Qin, Han and Wu are all obsessed with the dream of longevity, how many mortals in the world can't be thrilled?

Zhu Di can only judge whether Zheng He has changed from the mouths of these guards in Jinyi.

The three of them spoke in unison: "I'm afraid of causing shock."

Hearing this subconscious answer, Zhu Di was relieved.

Zheng He is in the light, they are in the dark.

If there is a discrepancy, it will definitely be noticed, and it is time to raise the inappropriate point.

"Wang Da will talk first, and you two will add later."

Wang Da did not dare to be negligent. Starting from the Ming Dynasty, he first talked about the turmoil in Nanyang. There was a Sumatran prince who planned to attack the Ming fleet, but was suppressed and imprisoned on the ship.

Then continue westward, visit many countries, and finally arrive in Malindi.

It is also the place where the coming of the gods takes place.

"That morning, the fleet was guided by the envoy of Mugudushu, and arrived at the sea off Malindi. Prince Malindi took people on board to meet the envoy."

"In Prince Malindi's team, however, there are several youths whose appearance is astonishing."

"Whether you are the envoys or the commanders in the army, they all believe that they are descendants of the Mongolian Yuan, and they are the remnants of fleeing overseas when the Great Yuan collapsed in the early years."

"Just then, there is suspicion that the Malindi Kingdom is actually a puppet, secretly controlled by the descendants of the Mongolian Yuan."

Zhu Di listened quietly and realized that this was the key.

Sure enough, Wang Da went on to say: "Before boarding the main ship, Mr. Zheng gathered the officers and soldiers and made a plan to round them up."

"The confrontation between the two sides happened!"

"But when your lords revealed their identity, those descendants of the Mongol Yuan did not admit it, but instead called themselves the envoys of the Kingdom of Balance God, the servants and servants of the true God."

"The Taoist Tai Chi logo is engraved on their strange costumes."

"Master Zheng said that there were nobles in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty who believed in Taoism, and it was possible to pass on a bloodline to control the merchant ships of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, travel around overseas, and gain a foothold in foreign countries."

"Changing Taoism to Equilibrium is just a way for them to cover up their tracks."

"The two sides can't reach a consensus, and Commander Tang Jing, Mr. Tang, will take action to suppress it..."

"However, there was a young man who showed his bravery. He stood in front of everyone with his own body and protected everyone. He shouted that he was an immortal bestowed by the true God, and he would not perish today, so he had nothing to fear!"

"At this moment, a vision appeared in the sky..."

"God descends from the sky!"

Wang Dayan said that [-] officials and civilians witnessed the miracle and the sacred artifact gliding into the sea.

The gods landed on the deck of the ship from a high altitude.

The gods were furious and punished Tang Jing, causing him to be seriously injured in one leg.

Finally came the most critical point——

"When the gods wave their hands, miracles appear."

"Abducted Zheng He, Wang Jinghong and other principal and deputy envoys, and disappeared in front of everyone!!"

Talk to here.

The faces of Wang Da and the three were flushed, as if everything that happened a few months ago was still vivid in their minds.

Immersed in the worship of the gods, it is difficult to extricate myself.

Zhu Di also trembled in his heart. Although he couldn't witness it with his own eyes, he knew it was not fabricated out of thin air after hearing him describe the details.

God! !
There are gods in this world! !

Also at this time.

The three touched their arms, took out a book together, and opened it for Zhu Di.

Zhu Di carefully reviewed the notes of the three people, and the descriptions were almost the same, taking the year, month and time recorded by one of them as an example——

"In the 12th year of Yongle, on June 22; Zheng He's ship went to Malindi, and saw the only true god in the world, the Lord of Balance..."

"Gods manifest miracles, beyond the reach of ordinary people..."

"Just making Zheng He, deputy envoy Wang Jinghong, eunuch...young supervisor...a number of people disappear out of thin air with the applause of the gods, without a trace."

"Take the holy vessel to climb to the sky again, and disappear!"

Zhu Di continued to read.

See the record.

Zheng He and others reappeared, and it was already a month later. During this period, all parties on the ship were restless, and there was a plan to set sail and return.

Fortunately, the gods were merciful and brought everyone back.

Then they held a sacrificial ceremony together in the country of Malindi.

The divine Dharmakaya appeared, causing tens of thousands of people to bow down devoutly.

Jin Yiwei Anzi's rank on the ship was not high.

Only one person is the deputy commander, hiding his identity;
If you see rebellion and rebellion on board, you can take out a secret decree to seize power and suppress the situation.

However, this person was not included in the ranks of more than a dozen people who were kidnapped, and the book that he recorded several secret meetings with the ship's high-level officials could not be presented until Beishang Shengshi.

Zhu Di compared the records of the three, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.

Everyone sees the same, but feels differently, which makes the image of the god full and real.

Zhu Di felt a layer of awe in his heart.

It also made him uncomfortable.

How can the Emperor and Son of Heaven accept that there are more noble beings in the world who are above him?
There is a gap in my heart, so I am silent.

Seeing that Zhu Di no longer flipped through the pages, the three could comprehend the holy will. This matter had a huge impact on anyone.

Even if he is the emperor.

Qian Liudao: "Your Majesty, the villain dares to speak out."

Zhu Di's expression recovered, and he was neither sad nor happy: "Let's talk."

Qian Liudao: "The three subordinates also discussed along the way, and they have some feelings about the balance."

"The gods are more kind to Daming, because the language used by the envoy is actually the same as us."

"Secondly, there are three ways for the gods to bless Daming;"

"When returning from this trip, the gods sent an envoy to visit Daming, and the envoy taught the 'Law of the Earth', allowing the fleet to open up a new route, which greatly shortened the return time."

"Afterwards, I went to Xuanweisi in Palembang to supply supplies, and then sailed south to see more small countries in Southeast Asia. Finally, I went north and crossed several straits, and finally arrived in Luzon directly, and finally returned to the dynasty."

"In addition, there are grains given by the gods that are loaded onto the ship. Your lords cherish this thing very much, and it may increase the amount of grain produced."

"I don't know about the last blessing, but the blessing from the gods must be extraordinary!"

"Third, the gods established the Kingdom of God overseas, and some of the people of the Kingdom of God will be granted longevity!!"

Speaking of this, Qian Liu's voice was high-pitched: "Your Majesty! This is a good omen!"

"Emperor Qin, Han and Wu all sent envoys to explore the overseas fairy mountains, but only our emperor, Yongle, can see the true god..."

"Your Majesty will be able to obtain the immortality of immortality, immortality, and imperial power forever!"

After hearing this, Wang Da and Yu Hai also shouted: "Long live my emperor!"

The three of them knelt down together, solemnly and piously.

Zhu Di's expression also showed extraordinary splendor.

When he heard about the gods for the first time, he was more anxious and uneasy, and he was not in the mood to weigh the pros and cons.

How could he not be moved when he heard three people shouting?
In ancient times, countless kings asked for it but couldn't get it.

If you come to him, maybe you will get your wish!
"Get up!"

Zhu Di restrained his joy and didn't show his face.

The letter sent by the three of them is still not true, and everything has to wait for Zheng He's arrival before further judgment can be made.

"Fei Xianyang!"

He called out, and footsteps came from outside the door, "The minister is here!"

"Come in, arrange for Qian Liusan and others to go down to rest, and be promoted to the post of Deputy Qianhu of the Jinyiwei, and become the fifth rank!"

The three were ecstatic, that is, they were the first to arrive, and when Brother Jin Yiwei arrived later, there would be no such treatment or reward.

Fei Xianyang ordered someone to take them down.

I heard Zhu Di ask again: "The capital has not yet received a letter? Has Zheng He ever arrived?"

Fei Xianyang shook his head: "Not yet! But according to the time, it should have arrived..."

"Your Majesty, judging from the three people's words, if Mr. Zheng comes to the capital, he will definitely go north to see His Majesty as soon as possible."

"It will dredge the river and take the Grand Canal day and night, and it will be less than a month away!"

Zhu Di nodded: "You will lead the [-]-household Battalion of Jinyiwei to meet the imperial envoy Yijia!"

"If you can see the imperial envoys, bring them here quickly!"

"If you don't see him, send a fast horse south to Beijing and order him to leave immediately!"

"Yes, I accept the order."

That night, the thousand households pulled out their camp and went south.

Another vanguard scout led three horses to ride quickly to Yingtian Mansion.

The next day.

Accompanied by Zhu Zhanji, the grandson of the emperor, he discussed with a group of ministers about the Oala negotiations.

Oala was "defeated", and envoys have arrived, asking for a peace agreement.

But Zhu Zhanji's mind is not here at all...

He carefully looked at Grandpa Huang's expression and found nothing wrong, as if what happened last night never happened.

Of course Zhu Di noticed the baby emperor's grandson's gaze, but he didn't explain much.

Because he himself still doesn't know the specifics of the gods.

Under the superficial calm, it is actually full of restlessness and anticipation.

a few days later.

On the Grand Canal, the oarsmen sang chant loudly, and the treasure ships advanced steadily in the countercurrent.

"Jining Guard is ahead, and the speed of the boat is faster than expected!" Zheng He and Wang Jinghong said.

After the secret conversation that night when they set sail, the relationship between the two heated up sharply.

People around were surprised by this.

Because everyone knows that His Majesty arranged for the two to be the principal and deputy envoys, not only to complement each other, but also to hinder each other.

One family should not be the only one, and make Daming's precious Armada go overseas.

Although the two are rarely impatient, their relationship will never be as close as it is now.

Moreover, even if the relationship between the two is harmonious, it shouldn't be shown on the surface, right?
We will be in Shuntian Mansion soon.

How will Jinshang feel when such news reaches Jinshang's ears?

If there is another trip to the West, can you rest assured that the two of them will go together?
of course.

The truth of this is well understood by both of them.

But compared to the suspicion of the emperor, they feel that balance is more important.

Now is not the time to be cautious.

If we can't unite as one and work together to wait for the legendary disaster prophecy to come, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger!
Therefore, the harmony between the two is also what they deliberately want to show to the emperor.

If you cooperate, you will benefit, and if you divide, you will suffer!
We should show the demeanor of Jing Nan back then, and the armies trust each other instead of doubting each other.

Wang Jinghong is also very satisfied with the speed of travel: "After all, it is Erlang who has been at sea for ten years. To them, this inland river is like a child's bath tub!"

"Will Jining Guard take a break?"

Zheng He shook his head: "Forget it, the sooner you arrive, the sooner you will face the saint!"

"You should also know that since the port of Quanzhou, there have been vacancies in the military and civilian registers!"

"There are people from all sides, and there are people from His Majesty!"

"Except for the 14 of us, others can't call it understanding equilibrium at all!"

"If you want them to talk nonsense, His Majesty will preconceive things first, and things will get worse."

Wang Jinghong nodded: "Then it's up to you!"

After half a day.

When the ship entered Jiningwei, there was a small boat ahead to report that the treasure ship would not berth.

Everyone also entered the cabin and prepared to eat.

But I heard the report from the people below——

"Jining Wei blocked the river;"

"There is another pass, Jin Yiwei's fellow Zhi Fei Xianyang brought the imperial decree to welcome the imperial envoy! Waiting at the pier..."

At this point, everyone in the room stood up.

Tiaoyu and the others also looked at each other in blank dismay, probably knowing that this was the arrangement of the Ming Emperor.

Zheng He and Wang Jinghong also looked at each other.

It seems that the news has already reached Shuntian Mansion, which attracted His Majesty's dispatch fee Xianyang...

Jin Yiwei should respect Ji Gang.

But the two knew that His Majesty did not fully trust this courtier.

Then he drove north with Fei Xianyang, and left his younger brother Fei Xianwang to guard the crown prince and supervise the country in Yingtian Mansion.

If Fei Xianyang found out that Ji Gang was missing, he would be very happy, right?

But this is not the time for flirting.

Zheng He said: "Order the boat to dock, pack up your light luggage, and prepare to go ashore!"

Wang Jinghong also said: "My god envoys, it seems that the boat will not be able to sit on the boat, and all the envoys need to move to the shore, take a carriage to Shuntian, and greet His Majesty to express condolences."

See you, see them, but they dare not mention it.

The envoys have a special status and should be treated with religious etiquette.

It doesn't matter to Tiaoyu and others, isn't the Emperor Ming the one who is responsible for this trip?

Everyone set off and packed up...

Not long after, the ship docked.

Fei Xianyang recited the imperial decree and met with the imperial envoy.

The two sides didn't exchange more pleasantries, so they boarded the car immediately and rested overnight in Jiningwei, Jining Prefecture.

Early the next morning, the convoy set off.

Fei Xianyang's eyes kept falling on Tiaoyu and the others. He already knew the origin of these nine people...

He is the servant and servant of the only true God in the world.

Envoy of the Kingdom of God.
