How did you, a prisoner on death row, become an important weapon of the country? Yecheng Gao Weiming

Imperial City Xiyuan, just to the west of the Forbidden City, is where Zhonghai, Beihai, and Nanhai are now located.

During the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty was established here, which was called Long Live Palace.

During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, after the Forbidden City was built, this area gradually became a royal garden.

It was now mid-morning, the sky was clear and the air was clear, and the chirping of summer cicadas resounded throughout Xiyuan.

Next to the small dock next to Taiye Pool, there is a huge and beautiful treasure ship docked.

The large group of people standing next to the boat are today's cruise team.

Zhu Youxiao, Queen Zhang Yan, who was suffering from old illnesses, Dongchang Changgong Wei Zhongxian, and the palm eunuch Wang Tiqian were also pulled over. Even Ke Yinyue, who had just woken up from a coma and received a simple bandage, was also pulled over.

In addition, there were nearly a hundred Han generals accompanying him, nearly a hundred eunuchs and maids, Jin Yiwei, Dongchang Fanzi and other paraphernalia.

Thousands of people stood together, Wuyang Wuyang was so lively.

As for King Xin Zhu Youjian, he took leave because he suddenly had a stomachache yesterday and never came here.

"His Majesty……"

Just after everyone is ready.

Wang Tiqian said with a smile on his face, looking at Zhu Youxiao who looked obviously better.

"Look at this treasure ship. It is a dragon ship that the imperial concubine hired nearly a thousand Jiangnan shipbuilders and spent several years and a lot of money to build it."

"Don't underestimate it. It is a replica of the main ship that the Three Treasures Eunuchs rode on during their seven voyages to the West. It is just several times smaller."

"Your Majesty can use it to swim in the pool, and you can also feel the elegance of the Three Treasures eunuchs when they were in the West..."

"Ahem, cough, cough, Wang Banban."

Zhu Youxiao listened happily, coughed twice and said jokingly: "What? I want to compete with a eunuch? Do you look down on me, or do you look down on the three treasure eunuchs back then?"

Wang Tiqian shivered when he heard this, and then he realized that he had said the wrong thing.

He quickly knelt down and said with a mournful face: "I don't dare, I don't dare, Your Majesty."

"I just wanted to praise the majesty of this treasure ship, but I didn't expect that I said the wrong thing. Palm mouth, this mouth is really bad..."

Wang Tiqian said and started to fan his face, fearing to make Zhu Youxiao angry.

Zhu Youxiao seemed to be in a very good mood. He laughed twice and raised his hand to let him stand up.

"Okay, okay, let's go out to swim in the lake. There's no need to pay so much attention to it."

As he said that, he turned around, looked at the majestic and huge treasure ship, and sighed.

Such a large ship would easily cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to build.

Why not put it in Liaodong to resist the slaves, or put it in Zhejiang, Mining and other places to resist the pirates, but put it in the Taiye Pond in Xiyuan for me to play with?

Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao, look at what evil you have done in these years.

"Your Majesty, please come on board..."

Wang Tiqian had already come over, bowed and said.

But when he spoke, his voice inevitably trembled a bit.

Zhu Youxiao seemed oblivious, nodded, slowly walked across the steps with the help of several eunuchs, and stood at the bow of the ship.

Seeing that the emperor had boarded the ship, the eunuchs, maids, and guards also began to wait to board the ship, but they took another step.

Zhu Youxiao stood at the bow of the ship but smiled again.

He saw that there were still several motionless people on the shore, and asked with a smile: "Zi Tong, factory minister, Wang Banban, Ke Nai... why... you haven't boarded the ship yet?"

When asked in one sentence, everyone on the shore had different thoughts.

The first person to speak was Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan took a breath, showing a smile as bright as a flower for the first time, and looked up at Zhu Youxiao.

"Okay... Your Majesty, I will board the ship right now."

Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment, and a touch of joy appeared in his heart.

But seeing that Zhang Yan didn't need help from others, she lifted up her skirt slightly and started to walk to the boat.

"My lady..."

Lu Lingxuan, who was behind her, had red eyes and subconsciously tried to stop her.

But knowing that today was a big event, he didn't dare to shout. He just walked over, gently held Zhang Yan's hand, and started walking to the treasure ship together.

Zhang Yan was stunned and looked at Lu Lingxuan with eyes full of anger.

What are you doing here?

Didn't I tell you not to board the ship today, just stay on the shore?

Lu Lingxuan's face was determined, and her red eyes were filled with determination.

Orb!

If you don’t live, I won’t live either!

Zhang Yan was speechless and could only sigh deeply in her heart, and was led by Lu Lingxuan to Zhu Youxiao's side.

The smile on Zhu Youxiao's face became brighter and brighter, but he said to Zhang Yan: "Zitong, although the sky is clear and clear today, there is always a breeze on the lake. You are weak, no...it doesn't matter, right?"

Zhang Yan glanced at Zhu Youxiao blankly and said softly.

"Your Majesty, my body doesn't matter."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and looked at the other people on the shore.

"Huh? Wait, why don't you get on the boat?"

He asked Wang Tiqian, Ke Yinyue and Wei Zhongxian again.

Because after most people boarded the treasure ship, the shore was empty.

The three of them stood there looking so awkward.

"Ah...this..."

Wang Tiqian's face turned pale, and he bowed to Zhu Youxiao hurriedly and said.

"Your Majesty! This slave has to prepare lunch and urge the imperial kitchen to bring His Majesty's favorite food."

"You won't board this ship, right? Haha, it will save you a while and delay His Majesty's meal..."

"Hey, Wang Banban, I've only been drinking Xianfang Linglu these days, but I've never eaten anything."

However, Zhu Youxiao interrupted the other party and continued to wave.

"Come on, companion! Board the ship with me and let's see if you can appreciate the glory of the Three Treasure Eunuchs back then?"

Wang Tiqian almost cried when he heard this.

Why did my mother-in-law have to say that?

It would be better now to let Zhu Youxiao take it to heart and ask me to board the ship together.

Can……

But our family doesn’t know how to use water. How could we drown alive in Taiye Pond?

"Banban, why don't you board the ship?"

Zhu Youxiao shouted loudly, obviously not allowing Wang Tiqian to refuse again.

Wang Tiqian had no choice but to frown, stepped onto the pedal with three stops, and finally stood behind Zhu Youxiao.

"Guest Nai! What about you, why haven't you boarded the ship yet?"

Zhu Youxiao looked at Ke Yinyue again.

Ke Yinyue was scared to death.

Why don't you board the ship?

Say it!

What did you, Zhu Youxiao, tell me last night.

Do you want to take me with you and go to hell together?

Is there something weird on this ship?

Not only taking me away, but also taking away the Queen Zhang Yan, Wei Zhongxian, Wang Tiqian and others?

Emperor Tianqi, Emperor Tianqi, you are so cruel.

Ke Yinyue shook his head in fear: "Your Majesty! I accidentally fell down last night and hit my head and arm..."

"The imperial doctor said that I must not be in trouble these days, and I really cannot travel with His Majesty..."

Zhu Youxiao laughed when he heard this: "You can't attract trouble? Guest sister, you can just stay in the cabin."

"With such a beautiful scenery on such a good time, guests and colleagues gather together, and wine is placed in the lake. How can it be appreciated for a moment?"

"Don't refuse to be a guest, come here! Help the Holy Lady aboard quickly!"

"His Majesty……"

Ke Yinyue was about to go crazy, but he couldn't help being helped by two eunuchs who ran down and limped into the cabin.

In the end, Wei Zhongxian was the only one left on the shore.

Zhu Youxiao looked again.

"Factory minister? You..."

Wei Zhongxian smiled and walked towards the boat.

"Your Majesty, I didn't sleep well last night. I took a nap. When I opened my eyes, I almost missed the cruise ship. Hahaha... Thank you for reminding me, Your Majesty."

With that said, Wei Zhongxian strode behind Zhu Youxiao and also stood at the bow of the ship, his expression as usual.

Zhu Youxiao took a deep look at him and smiled sincerely.

Zhang Yan glanced over, her heart finally dropped.

Only Wang Tiqian was still shivering and looked at Wei Zhongxian in surprise.

Don’t you know what happened today?

Didn't His Highness King Xin tell you?

"Your Majesty, it's already three o'clock in the morning, and I still haven't ordered the ship to be launched. When will we wait?"

When Wei Zhongxian saw Wang Tiqian looking at him, he sneered and urged.

Wang Tiqian finally recovered.

Hey!

Forget it.

At worst, our family will hold on to a plank and wait for rescue.

I don’t believe that each of you should accompany Zhu Youxiao!

With a stern look on his face, he waved for the treasure ship to set off.

who knew...

"Wait!"

A voice suddenly sounded from the bow of the ship.
