Chapter 388 Nothing to say
Song Na came out: "His Royal Highness, there is no such thing as going to sea before. Therefore, in the Yuan Dynasty, private caravans went to sea. people."

I advise you to accept it as soon as it is good, and don't talk about too many problems.Zhu Biao slandered Song Na in his heart.

Zhu Biao nodded, glanced at the courtiers under the imperial steps, and said with a smile: "Good mention, everyone learns from Song Na, and you will be alone in embarrassment."

Embarrassed?
Listen to what His Royal Highness is speaking in human language.I, Song Na, have read a lot of poetry and books, and I hold an important position in the Imperial Academy, so I can't help you.

Can't help it is the biggest joke in the world.

Song Na was proud of himself, but he also stumped the prince.This is the first among the courtiers today.

"Everyone, just now Song Jijiu said that there is no suitable person, and everyone present seems to be mediocre. Are you convinced?" Zhu Biao repeated a few words.

There were constant echoes in the Fengtian Palace, everyone present was mediocre, these words bounced back to the ears of the courtiers from all directions.

Song Na's face turned pale, he didn't say that, he just said that the Ming court didn't have suitable talents.

His Royal Highness, this is completely misunderstood.

After Zhu Biao's preconceived induction.

Everyone is full of poetry and books, and the words will change after they are analyzed.

"Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, I have been full of outstanding people. Talented people have all entered the court as officials. The Ming Dynasty is a huge country filled with talents." Zhu Biao paused and smiled: "In my heart, all the ministers present are all talents. Everyone is full of knowledge, and sailing is like a bag for everyone, how can there be no talents, the Maritime Bureau is just a dry meal."

The envoy of the Bureau of Maritime Affairs immediately said: "The Bureau of Maritime Affairs has no problems and will be loyal to Daming at any time."

The courtiers didn't know how to answer the words for a while, if they denied that they could not sail.Wouldn't it be laughable by other colleagues?

But if he agrees, one of the problems of Song Nati, the son of the country, will soon be solved.

Everyone fell silent for a while.

Zhu Biao looked at Song Na, and he couldn't blame himself for this. If he wanted to blame it, he could blame the 5000-year-old culture, which is too broad and profound, and the words can be understood in multiple ways.

There is no suitable person for sailing, and these ordinary but confident civil servants have some backbone, and a small ocean can still stump them.

I don't pay attention to it at all.But Song Na said that there is no suitable person, just to destroy their officials and their prestige.

Of course, there are also a few who are not in the trap, such as Qian Tang and Hubu Shangshu.

Hubu Shangshu said rationally: "Your Highness, I think the words of Song Jijiu are justified."

Zhu Biao waved his hand, indicating that the Minister of the Ministry of Finance and Qian Tang should be calm and calm.

"My lords, I'm here today to discuss matters concerning navigation with you. I hope you can offer advice and suggestions on the issue of navigation. Apart from this matter, there are memorials from various prefectures and counties. Even if you submit them, they will also answer your doubts. Bring out any disputes. The people above the court can discuss as much as possible. If no one asks questions, I will start to answer them."

His Majesty asked the crown prince to take his place. It seems that His Royal Highness is the backer of the crown prince, and he has to make good use of it.At that time, it will be smooth sailing.

Hu Weiyong said: "I don't have any doubts at the moment, and I would like to hear His Highness answer."

"The old minister is fine." Song Lian's voice rattled in his throat, speaking like a broken bellows.

"Gao Qi, what about you?" Zhu Biao motioned to him with his eyes.

"I don't have any opinions, everything depends on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Asking Gao Qi is equivalent to asking one's own family members.

Zhu Di smiled and said, "If there is no one, I can do it too."

Seeing that Zhu Di went to show off in front of his elder brother again, Zhu Yan also said: "This king can do it too."

Although Zhu Xi was a little angry with Zhu Biao because of Chen Rulan's matter, but Dahu's brother, at this time, he was standing beside his elder brother as a supporter: "This king can do it too."

The ministers didn't say much. Among the sons of His Majesty, they have seen the ability to fight on horseback and lead troops to do things.

Regardless of character, talent alone is more than enough.

Zhu Biao smiled: "There is already a suitable candidate in front of Gushu. Since everyone has no big opinions today, this matter is settled."

The ministers followed the rules and wanted to say a few more words on the grounds that they had no experience in going to sea, no candidates, and no money.

"I dare to ask, who is the person selected by His Royal Highness?"

"Your Highness, who is this person?"

Everyone looked at their colleagues to determine who the prince was talking about.

Zhu Biao looked past the courtiers, and Yu said a few words in his ear.

"Xuan Ma He has an audience." Yu's voice was loud and clear, and the servants outside the hall shouted again: "Xuan Ma He has an audience."

Sanbao, who was waiting outside the hall, had gone back and changed into formal clothes just now, and stepped up the steps firmly.

"Your Highness, this servant will definitely live up to your entrustment and will not embarrass you." Sanbao straightened his hat and entered Fengtian Hall.

"Ma He has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The civil and military officials on both sides were already surprised when they heard the name just now, and now their eyes are about to fall out.

Fengtian Temple became a swarm.

"What? A servant can also take on this important task?"

"That's a eunuch."

"Hmph, a little servant."

Zhu Biao listened to the discussions in his ears, but didn't say much. During the Yongle period, Zheng He was also very young when he entered the palace. Later, he continued to learn and shape, and became a talent.

Since the founding of the country, I have been telling Sambo'er to go to the Longjiang Shipyard and the Maritime Affairs Bureau. He has every link. Compared with others, he is the most suitable.

Sure enough, the officials began to question Sambo.

The first ones who asked the question were those from the Metropolitan Procuratorate: "The vast sea has swallowed up countless ships and people. How can you reach the distant Western Ocean from Daming?"

"Exactly, the West Ocean is far away from Daming, and the wind and waves on the sea are invisible. How do you ensure that the fleet can reach the West Ocean with you?"

"Have you ever been to the West? My Ming Dynasty is now self-sufficient and self-sufficient. Is it necessary to go to the West? Do you know that going to the West will consume a lot of military supplies?"

"Yes, do you know where the treasury's money comes from? It doesn't come from the wind."

Sanbao glanced at Zhu Biao, and began to answer the questions of the ministers one by one.

"Since the founding of the country, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has taught me the knowledge of the sea, the art of crossing the ocean and the "Hydro Acupuncture", and these most basic questions, the three treasures are very familiar with them.

Astrolabe, compass, quadrant... Nautical chart... Marine disasters, these three treasures will study hard in the middle of the night.Learning water skills in the navy, I think that I can take on the responsibility of going to the west for Daming.

The craftsmen of the National Academy of Scholars have worked hard on the tools needed, and the seven representative treasure ships of the Longjiang Shipyard can be checked by you adults at any time. "

"His Royal Highness, the court is leaving today, and I will go to the shipyard to have a look in person. If there is any discrepancy with what Ma He said, I will definitely go to the East Palace to meet the prince. If I am convinced, I will fully support Your Highness's voyage in the future."

It was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials who spoke.

"The shipyard has built a lot of ships in the past five years. In the third year of Hongwu's consultation with Si Tianjian, the chartered ship was named after the Big Dipper, Tianshu, Tianquan..." Sanbao replied truthfully.

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "The Maritime Affairs Bureau can also make preparations for going to sea, gentlemen, do you have any questions?"

Everyone seemed to have no opinion and nothing to say.His Highness the Crown Prince seemed to have been prepared to answer the questions they raised one by one.

Take the National Academy of Scholars as an example, it seems that all the good things were brought.It doesn't hurt.

Song Na asked: "May I ask what is the art of crossing the ocean and the sea way acupuncture?"

Three Treasures said: "Hai Dao Acupuncture and Crossing the Ocean and Astrology are the treasures of sailing. When someone went to sea in the former Yuan Dynasty, they relied on them."

Song Na snorted coldly: "Hehe, it seems that Mr. Song is ignorant. The servant of His Royal Highness is really knowledgeable and talented. Mr. Song is educated."

At this moment, Minister of the Household Department walked up to the Three Treasures: "Having sailed, dare you ask if you have counted the cost of silver taels? This trip will cost our Daming treasury a million taels of silver."

Sambo didn't speak.

The Minister of the Household Department continued: "The silver in the national treasury is the tax paid by the people of Li.

"I don't dare, but I have absolutely no intention of doing so." Sanbao knelt down and said to Zhu Biao.

"Gu is going to make a decision on this matter today, and there are still a few months before going to sea. As long as Gu solves the cost of one million taels, Zhu Qing will have nothing to say."

All the ministers said: "Yes, I have nothing to say."

Zhu marked that, in the past five years, the money that Shen Qiancheng and the others sent to the winery seemed to be in the National Academy of Scholars, and it should not have been used up.

Just wait until the dynasty is over, and send someone to the National Academy of Scholars to ask Lu Chang, and you will have a silver two and a half.

What Zhu Biao didn't know was that Lao Zhu was hiding in the dark and watching everything in the court this morning.

"His Royal Highness, I still have questions."

 Ask for a ticket.
