Sitting in the sedan chair. Novel

Ma Wensheng suddenly woke up.

Oops...

When Xu Jing came back, he seemed to have nothing to do with him. How could he be so happy?

Thinking back to the beginning, I had a lot of ridiculed Xu Jing's trip to sea.

But slowly, he calmed down.

The same goes for me, I am concerned about my family and country. If Xu Jing can come back, the Ministry of War will benefit a lot, at most... the money and food will not be wasted.

So... for yourself, this is a great thing.

Why can't you be happy?

Why can't you?

The higher you are, the colder you get. The more you get to this point, the more you feel that the face is a big obstacle to life. For a face, you are restless every now and then, and negative emotions such as shame come out from time to time, which makes your mind confused. Well... don't care about these details.

He hurried to the Meridian Gate and entered the palace to see him.

…………

Emperor Hongzhi lay halfway behind the imperial case, holding scriptures in his hand.

As a waiter, Ouyang Zhi stood beside him.

Emperor Hongzhi slowly put down the scriptures and suddenly sighed: "Ouyang Qing's family, are your parents in the church?"

Ouyang Zhi was silent for a moment: "My father died early."

Emperor Hongzhi said regretfully: "I want to support my son but my parents are not here to stay. This is a regret in life."

Ouyang Zhi thought for a while: "The students and mentors."

Emperor Hongzhi was amused: "Why do you always keep talking and always keep your mentor?"

"My teacher is the rebirth of parents." This time, Ouyang Zhi reacted a little faster.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "What you said in your family is also reasonable. You are the most affectionate and kind. I heard that among your mentors and students, you value the most, right?"

Ouyang Zhi was silent.

"Why didn't the Qing family answer?"

Ouyang Zhi looked at Emperor Hongzhi deeply: "What my mentor values ​​most is Junior Brother Xu."

"Which junior brother Xu..." Emperor Hongzhi was surprised.

Ouyang Zhidao: "Editor Xu Jing."

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly realized that it was him: "How can I see this?"

Ouyang Zhi thought for a while: "Since Junior Brother Xu went to sea, his teacher has never mentioned him again. He is a person who values ​​love and righteousness and will definitely not forget Junior Brother Xu. However, his teacher not only never mentioned it, but even ordered people to paint a portrait of his disciple, but he deliberately missed Junior Brother Xu. From this, it can be seen that his teacher is like this, but he just doesn't want to feel affection when he touches the scene."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "I didn't expect that... there was such a past. It was really... a pity... it was hard for him. I usually see him laughing happily, but I didn't know that he had such sad things. He must have worked very hard when laughing in front of others."

Emperor Hongzhi thought about something and couldn't help but sigh.

Isn't that the same?

In his miserable childhood experience, his biological mother still cannot see that she becomes the crown prince or the emperor, or even the birth of Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Xiurong, or the adulthood of Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Xiurong. Whenever he thinks of this, Emperor Hongzhi feels that this is an untouchable thought.

Emperor Hongzhi was moved and his tears became blurred.

He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "There are people who cannot be touched or mentioned. This is not because of the heart of a sarcastic heart, but because of the touch. When mentioned, it will be heartbreaking. People should look forward, not look back. Ouyang Qing's family is very careful in observing it. It seems that they know you have a teacher."

Ouyang Zhi was silent.

Emperor Hongzhi thought he had something to do and was distracted, so he didn't care.

But after a long time, Ouyang Zhi suddenly said, "My teacher is an amazing person..."

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly realized and smiled.

But soon, his smile froze: "Xu Jing, have you... been...intoo difficult?"

After a moment, Ouyang Zhi's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears flowed down, silently choking.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at him and felt soft-hearted. He shouldn't have mentioned Xu Jing. This Xu Jing was not only Fang Jifan's disciple, but also Ouyang Zhi's brother. This must have made him fall in love with the scene.

Ouyang Zhi lowered his head and tried his best to hold it back.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed, "If you want to cry, just cry."

Ouyang Zhi sobbed for a moment before he cried: "I am a little sad. I think back then, our six disciples served our mentor together. Junior Brother Xu is a playful person, and he treats us well..."

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Okay, okay, I know, you don't have to be sad. It's been two years now, and there's no news for two years. If he were still alive... I think he should have come..."

Why is Emperor Hongzhi also sad?

Xu Jing did not come back indeed.

That man is not a man...

From this point of view, the final remedy has also failed.

It was because of the perfunctory work of the Ministry of War that it was unbearable.

It was obvious that the Ming Dynasty spent countless money and food to voyages to the West seven times, but now everything started over.

Emperor Hongzhi really felt tired.

Too tired.

It's like a broken house that has been repairing it again and again since it ascended the throne. However, after repairing it, it was leaked elsewhere, and it was very annoying.

When the entire Ming Dynasty arrived in his hands, it became increasingly riddled with holes, giving him a feeling of being unable to turn things around.

Under this surface calm, Emperor Hongzhi clearly saw that there was a huge inertia that was constantly destroying and corroding the foundation of the house, but he was helpless and had no choice but to repair the leaks again and again.

But this time... the loophole is too big.

Will you go to the West again? With the current national strength, can you continue? It took two generations of people to go to the West again? So... can I wait for that day?

Emperor Hongzhi put the scriptures in his hand and sighed: "What you lost in your family is your junior brother. What I lost... is hope... what all people have lost... is dawn. I inherit the virtues of my ancestors, inherit the great throne, and work diligently, and I am afraid of being ashamed of my ancestors, but... many times, I am powerful, but I don't know where to go, and I can't help it... I am really too tired, but do you understand? Many times, conscientious work may not be a good result. Many things cannot be stopped by human power."

He shook his head.

I feel sad.

At this moment, he felt like a thorn in his throat, but found that he had no temper at all.

Xiao Jing hurried over: "Your Majesty, Minister of War Ma Wensheng asked for a meeting."

Emperor Hongzhi only raised his eyelids: "It's really rare to be quiet for a moment, come in."

He glanced at Ouyang Zhi with red eyes and didn't say anything.

Even at this moment, he was a little shaken.

Really...want to start over?

Ma Wensheng walked in quickly and said hoarsely: "I... have seen Your Majesty..."

He bowed and choked and said, "God blesses the Ming Dynasty."

Emperor Hongzhi stared at Ma Wensheng, a little unaware of his intentions.

Ma Wensheng said: "Your Majesty, Ningbo Prefecture sends a quick report. The king of scum on earth is not an official title... I am back, editor Xu Jing... I am back!"

“…”

Emperor Hongzhi's face suddenly changed: "What did you say?"

"The king of scum on earth will not be a slap..."

"Have Xu Jing returned?" Emperor Hongzhi sat up straight and his eyes shone.

"Yes... I have arrived in Ningbo, and I will arrive in Beijing soon." Ma Wensheng burst into tears and could no longer help it: "He is back... Ningbo Mansion reported that Xu Jing arrived at the Mugudu Bus, and then returned to the voyage. Your Majesty... This Mugudu Bus is the eunuch of the Three Treasures. He has arrived at the farthest place. Xu Jing and the soldiers who did not serve as the Slag on Earth did not go back and forth. He took two years to travel back and forth to bring the route back... This is the protection of God!"

Emperor Hongzhi was silent.

He raised his eyes and looked at Ouyang Zhi.

After a brief silence, Ouyang Zhi's face suddenly slowly unfolded.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Report and bring it."

After the report was submitted, Emperor Hongzhi trembled his hands and looked at the report word by word. After a long time... He put the report down and took a deep breath: "I'm back, God bless the Ming Dynasty, this... isn't a painstaking person, God bless it?"

He suddenly felt energetic, and the haze in his heart was wiped out, and he felt energetic: "Get the map."

It took two sticks of incense before the eunuchs found a map from the old paper pile.

This was drawn by the eunuch of the Three Treasures, just a rough map.

Emperor Hongzhi found the rumored location of Kunlun Continent and was silent for a long time: "Xu Jing... is such an amazing person."

He raised his eyes, and there was a light in his eyes.

"When will they enter Beijing?"
To be continued...
