Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 279: Two ways


The next morning, Zhu Diyi finally arrived at the pier in a mighty manner. In order to create the appearance of the emperor personally welcoming the return of the embassy, ​​Zheng He had already ordered the fleet to leave the pier in the early hours of the morning. Wait until noon and return to the dock in front of His Majesty the Emperor.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon, and Zhu Di took Yao Guangxiao and other confidants to the high platform specially built for today. From a distance, you can already see countless small black dots appearing on the sea level, and then the small black dots grow a little bit bigger, and slowly take on the appearance of a fleet.

"Your Majesty, this time, the envoy Zheng Guo brought back the special products of Western countries, including spices, jewelry and other items, and also captured the pirate giant Chen Zuyi who had been harassing the Western waters for decades." Standing beside Zhu Di Prince Zhu Gaochi said something to the emperor with a smile. After glancing at Yao Guangxiao who was sitting beside the emperor, he continued: "In addition to these, there are also credentials from more than 30 Western countries. This time Zheng He has established himself. It's a pity that he is disabled, otherwise the credit could be awarded as a marquis."

"Who said that eunuchs can't be made a marquis? Zheng He has made a peerless feat this time. If it weren't for his disability, I would have made him a duke." Thinking about his biggest scruples in the past two years I can have an explanation today. At the moment, Zhu Dilong was very happy. After smiling at Yao Guangxiao, he continued: "Waiting for Zheng He to return to the land, I will make him a marquis."

Yao Guangxiao also smiled and said, "Zheng He has done extraordinary feats, and it is right for His Majesty to reward him with a marquis. But should His Majesty also be kind to the Quartet, taking advantage of today's happy day to forgive him How about the monk Pu Qia?"

Pu Qia was Emperor Jianwen's replacement monk and a famous monk at that time. When the capital was captured by Zhu Di that day, Pu Qia did not escape. After being captured by Yan Jun, he has been detained until now, because he suspected that he knew Zhu Yunwen's whereabouts, so Zhu Di never released him. In the past two years, Yao Guangxiao also asked the emperor several times to release Pu Qia, but Zhu Di refused. Seeing that Zhu Yunwen has been captured by Zheng He today, Pu Qia should also be released.

Zhu Di turned his head and glanced at Yao Guangxiao. After hesitating for a moment, he laughed and said, "Then I will take the young master's face and let the monk Pu Qia go. I will show him a temple to give him peace of mind. Study the Buddhadharma, and don't come out to be contaminated with the mundane things."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, on behalf of Pu Qia." As he spoke, Yao Guangxiao stood up and asked Zhu Di to greet him. Before he could get down on his knees, Zhu Di had already grabbed the monk and said, "I've said it several times, you are a great hero of Jingnan, I can afford to pay homage to people in the world, the only thing I can't afford is less. Your great gift, Master... The supervisor of li came over and passed down my will, to forgive the sins of the monk Pu Qia, and let him go to the young master to study the Dharma."

Today, the emperor is surrounded by ministers of civil and military affairs, and it is inconvenient to tell in front of them that Zhu Yunwen has been arrested and returned to China. However, Zhu Di finally got the biggest knot in his heart, and simply gave this grace to Yao Guangxiao.

Seeing that the fleet on the sea was getting closer and closer, the fat prince held a black cylinder he had already prepared and said, "Your Majesty, this is the clairvoyance that Erchen got from the merchants of the red-haired country. His Majesty can see things in the distance with him."

While speaking, Zhu Gaochi opened the cylinder by himself. After adjusting the distance first, he presented the cylinder with both hands to his father. Zhu Di tried to look at it, and sure enough, he saw a large ship in the distance from the inside of the cylinder. From this clairvoyant, it looks like it is close, but the distance is still too far, and the characters on the boat are still blurred, but this is already very rare.

"The people of the red-haired country are still a bit weird and weird. Such things should be purchased more and used on the battlefield." Zhu Di looked at it with interest for a while, then put down the clairvoyance, and then put it down again. It was delivered to Yao Guangxiao's hand, and he said with a smile, "Young Master, take a look too, you have a foundation in magic, maybe you can see the people on the boat."

Yao Guangxiao took the clairvoyance with a smile. After the monk looked at it for a while, he returned the cylinder in his hand to the prince, and then said, "The monk's eyes are all smeared, so it's better for His Royal Highness to see it." /

When talking about this, Yao Guangxiao paused and glanced at Zhu Di, who was smiling, and then the monk continued: "Your Majesty, what are you going to do with that person when he comes back? You will really keep him in the deep palace. Among them?"

After Zhu Di, who had a smile on his face, heard the monk's words, his smile instantly stiffened. After turning his head to look at Yao Guangxiao, he lowered his voice and said, "What does this mean, Master? Do you think I will kill my nephew?"

"Your Majesty misunderstood, how could His Majesty do such a thing as a benevolent king?" Yao Guangxiao did not have the slightest fear on his face, after the monk smiled slightly, he continued, "What the monk is worried about is that someone has misunderstood the holy will, To end that person without authorization. If His Majesty sees Emperor Taizu a hundred years later, I am afraid I will be speechless..."

"Enough..." After hearing Yao Guangxiao's words, Zhu Di's face finally sank. He said to the **** beside him: "The young master is getting old, and he rushed over from the capital to get a saddle horse. Find a place for the young master to rest, he doesn't have to go back to Beijing with us. Just find a nearby temple and ask the young master to preside over... …”

"Thank you, Your Majesty..." Yao Guangxiao was not angry either. After he smiled slightly, he stood up and knelt on the ground and gave Zhu Di a big gift. This time the emperor didn't extend his hand to help him, he looked blankly at the big ship in the distance. A few eunuchs came from behind and helped the monk down from Zhu Di's side.

Looking at the two monarchs and ministers who were talking and laughing just now, they turned their faces when they turned their faces, and the rest of the ministers also closed their mouths. Just now, Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao both spoke in low voices. These ministers were far apart. Until Yao Guangxiao walked away, they didn't understand why the two of them turned their faces.

After watching Yao Guangxiao walk away, Zhu Di snorted coldly. In my heart, I am surprised that this monk still sees his own thoughts, how can he tolerate another emperor when he has already ascended the throne himself? It's just that I started the army in the name of the Qing monarch. Now I just need to find a minister who can understand my heart and let him guard Zhu Yunwen, who will not suffer from a sudden illness...

At this time, Zhu Gaochi smiled, and just when he was about to come over to persuade a few words, he suddenly heard someone among the ministers shouting: "Look at what that is... It's a small boat, why is it so fast? It seems It's like flying..."

After hearing this person's words, everyone hurriedly looked towards the sea again. I saw a small boat galloping towards the distant sea boat like an arrow from the string. There was a vague figure on the boat, but it was too far away to see who this person was.

Before Zhu Gaochi opened his clairvoyance to see who this person was, Zhu Di had already turned around and snatched the cylinder from his son's hand. Then he looked through the cylinder and saw a man with white hair and white clothes on the boat. Although he still couldn't see his face, he could guess who this man was with his fingers.

Meanwhile, Zheng He, who was standing on the deck of the foremost treasure ship, also saw the boat. He got closer, and he could clearly see Wu Mian's expressionless little white face. There was only a white-haired man on the boat, and no one was rowing. How could this boat travel so fast...

The boat stopped more than a hundred feet in front of Zheng He's treasure ship, and after looking at Zheng He who was standing on the deck, Wu Mian said, "Two ways, one, you go to see the emperor, let the one Follow me. Second, you hide at the bottom of the sea, and that person follows me..."

Wu Mian spoke in a low voice, but it was clearly heard by the people on the hundreds of ships. At this time, Wang Jinghong on the other boat sent a semaphore, and the other boats rushed over to surround the white-haired man's boat.

Seeing that the fleet was about to reach the pier, but was stopped by this man, Zheng He took a deep breath and said to Wu Mian: "Zheng He is a minister of the Ming Emperor, and he wants to be loyal to His Majesty... I choose the third way..."
