The tenth year of Yongle, outside the imperial palace.

"Huh, it's been five years, and I'm finally back."

Looking at the palace with golden walls and green tiles, Zhu Zhangui sighed.

"Your Highness, you still have the intention to sigh. You should think more about how to explain to Your Majesty and the Crown Prince later."

When talking to this person, his face was black and beardless, his muscles were tangled, and his hands were covered with calluses. With the faint smell of the sea on his body, he knew that this person was walking on the sea all year round.

“What does it explain?”

Zhu Zhangui glanced at Zheng He, who was wearing a commander's robe.

"I was playing hide-and-seek at the beginning, but I was taken away after hiding in your goods. I didn't run out with you secretly. You didn't realize it. It was your responsibility."

Zheng He was speechless.

Who can hide in the box for half a year? Do you believe this?

"Then you be careful. Last night, many people asked about you. I guess there will be a large number of censors today, and I want to study one of your books."

Zhu Zhangui waved his hand indifferently.

"Let me be careful, I think you should be careful."

"I brought so much money back, but you only brought some spices, ivory, and corals. For the sake of the ocean, the court spent so much money, so you brought back these useless things. Do you think that guy Xia Yuanji, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, can spare you."

Zheng He's face suddenly became mournful.

Zhu Zhangui is right.

The court spent so much money to build a fleet and handed it over to himself. After five or six years of going out, he spent countless assets, and only brought back less than two or three million taels of silver. The income was not as good as the expenses, so the big guys would definitely not want to.

Thinking of facing those big guys later, Zheng He looked at Zhu Zhangui pitifully.

"Your Highness, why don't you give me some?"

Zhu Zhangui glared, raised his foot and stepped aside, and distanced himself from Zheng He.

"My surname is Zheng. With our friendship, I can just let me block the knife for you, but I can't borrow money. That's all my hard-earned money. Without money, what do you want me to support my 365 maids."

Zhu Zhangui traveled to this world ten years ago and became the twin brother of Zhu Gaochi, the second son of Renzong Zhu Zhanji, and the Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji.

In the fifth year of Yongle, Zheng He went to the West for the second time, trying to rely on his golden hands to point out Zhu Zhangui, who was making money, and requested to go out with Zheng He, but was rejected.

Zhu Zhangui, who was brave, ran away from home and hid in Zheng He's caravan. He quietly followed the other party to the West until he left the sea of ​​the Ming Dynasty.

Then there was the five years of drifting on the sea with Zheng He.

Zheng He originally planned to come back in Yongle in six years, but Zhu Zhangui, who was making a fortune by selling goods, fooled him and squatted on the sea for a few more years.

"Your Majesty has an order to Xuanyuanyangbao fleet commander Zheng He, to meet him!"

Just when the two were at the gate of the palace, one borrowed money and the other did not, Zhu Di's personal eunuch came out with a snot.

"Little Snot, didn't my grandfather call me?"

When Zhu Di heard that Zheng He was seen, Zhu Zhangui reached out and grabbed the little snot that was turning around.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty said: This little boy likes to float outside, so don't come back."

Zhu Zhangui glared, "Then why didn't you say it just now?"

Xiaoniu said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty said, if you don't ask, you won't let me tell you, and let you stand here."

Zhu Zhangui turned black and turned around and left.

I didn't see the consequences, and there was a time when this old man regretted it.

"Hey, hey, your highness, don't leave."

Seeing that Zhu Zhangui turned around and left, Zheng He hurried forward and grabbed Zhu Zhangui.

"Why don't you leave? Stay here to drink the wind? I'm talking about it. I still have a lot of things. My gold and silver worth 100 million taels and my 365 maids have no place to settle. The world is not safe now. If I don't do it in advance, I'll be snatched away by some shameless old guys?"

"Damn it! One hundred million taels of silver."

The little snot-eyed beads almost flew out.

"Why are you still standing there? Come and help."

Zhu Zhangui insisted on leaving, but Zheng He did not dare to exert force, for fear of hurting Zhu Zhangui, so he hurriedly asked Xiao Biss for help.

Just as he was thinking about how much it cost to have 100 million taels of gold and silver, he ran forward blankly.

With Zheng He, one hugged his legs and the other hugged his waist, carried Zhu Zhangui and ran to the palace.

"My surname is Zheng, you're done. Our friendship ends here. Let's go to sea next time. Do you see if anyone else goes with you?"

"Your Highness, I'm helpless. How dangerous the capital is now. Some time ago, Jianwen had the remnants of the emperor. I'm not at ease when you go back alone. Let's go to the palace first. After meeting His Majesty later, I'll go back with you, so it's safer."

"Okay, Zheng's name is good at lying. Now he doesn't blush when he lies. Wait, we're not over."

Along the way, the palace maids, guards, and eunuchs stared at the emperor's close-fitting general manager and the father-in-law Zheng He who could only look up to them, carrying a struggling boy into the palace.

Although Zhu Zhangui struggled so hard, he actually had no intention of running away.

Zhu Zhangui knew very well that it was impossible for him to eat all the gold and silver worth nearly 100 million taels.

If Zhu Zhangui dares to eat them all, he can use his toes to ensure that there will definitely be a large number of masked robbers who will break into his house and rob his treasures tonight.

What's even more amazing is that these robbers only rob money and do not hurt their lives.

Then within a quarter of an hour, the court would break a major case and seize countless stolen money. Due to the lack of the owner, it would be notified that all the decisions would be confiscated.

Thinking of this possibility, Zhu Zhangui decided to go back tonight and make some preparations.

Xiao Bistu and Zheng He carried Zhu Zhangui and ran all the way into Fengtian Palace.

Zhu Di and the civil and military officials in the court were confused when they saw the scene in front of them.

What's going on? Why are you carrying it in?

"When I got to the place, why are you still carrying me? Why don't you put it down quickly?"

Zhu Zhangui, who was stared at by everyone's strange eyes, kicked Xiao Nose angrily.

"Oh, your highness, please wait!"

"snort!"

With his feet touching the ground, Zhu Zhangui sorted out his messy clothes and shaved his eyes fiercely. He sat down angrily, facing the door, and ignored Zhu Di and others who were glaring at him.

"Didn't I say that? Why did you bring him in if you let him stay outside?"

Just as the civil and military officials in the court were curiously thinking about what happened, Zhu Di's angry voice sounded from above.

I was so tired that I was sweating and panting. I was still immersed in a small snot in the 100 million taels of gold and silver, and looked up at Zhu Di in a daze.

"Your Majesty, one hundred million taels."

Zhu Di frowned, glanced at Zhu Zhangui, who pretended to be angry and kept twisting his body to move out, stared at his little nose and asked, "What 100 million taels? Explain it clearly."

Little nose turned around and pointed at Zhu Zhangui regardless of etiquette.

"His Royal Highness the Second Emperor said just now that he has...100 million taels of gold and silver."

"boom!"

In an instant, the whole court exploded.

Zhu Di stared at Zhu Zhangui blankly, clenched his ears hard, unable to believe the numbers he had just heard.

Standing below, Zhu Pangpang, who looked at his second son excitedly, heard this number and couldn't help but tremble.

Zhu Zhanji, who was watching his second brother's joke, was surprised to put his hand in his mouth, and used the calculations he had learned to calculate how many 100 million taels were in his mind.

No matter who he met, he was the Minister of Revenue Xia Yuanji whom he had owed him one hundred and eight hundred million yuan. He was almost shocked by this number.

"Sanbao, what Xiaoniu said just now is true."

Zhu Di's voice trembled a little as he tried hard to suppress the shock in his heart.

Zheng He, who was pulling Zhu Zhangui to prevent him from running away, nodded with a wry smile.

He had expected this expression from everyone. When he heard this number, he was so shocked that he had not come back to his senses for a whole day.

"Yes, Your Majesty, His Highness the Second Emperor Sun went out with me for the past five years, doing business and selling goods and some other means, and totaling 98.73 million taels of silver."

"Boom!"

Zheng He's affirmation was like a sunny and drought thunder. From Zhu Di to Zhu's station, the eunuchs and guards were standing there in shock, with a confused face.

One hundred million taels, God, how much is that!
Chapter completed!
