Before the Longevity Festival, Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Di returned to Nanjing City.Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui also went back.

Zhu Gaochi was reprimanded by Zhu Di without any accident.Fortunately, Zhu Di did not punish him, which made him feel relieved.

At this time, Zhu Zhanji was talking to Zhu Gaochi in the study of the East Palace.

Of course, before talking to Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Zhanji went to play with his sister Yuanyuan for a while.

After not coming back for nearly a year, Zhu Zhanji originally thought that his sister Yuanyuan didn't know him, but he didn't expect her sister to remember him.

During the past year, Zhang Mingzhen and Zhu Gaochi often told their daughter about Zhu Zhanji, letting her know that she had an older brother.

As soon as Yuanyuan saw Zhu Zhanji, she ran towards him happily, calling "brother" sweetly.

Since Zhu Zhanji came back, Yuanyuan and Tuantuan have become his little tails.Wherever he went, the two of them followed.

Zhu Zhanji told Zhu Gaochi about some of the things they did in Beijing and what happened in Beijing.

Although Zhu Zhanji would write to Zhu Gaochi every once in a while, he didn't say much in the letter.

"Daddy, Second Uncle won't be returning to Yunnan for the time being." Zhu Zhanji said, "Grandpa Huang will keep him in the capital for a while."

Zhu Gaochi reacted quickly: "Is it used to check and balance me?"

"Daddy, you just need to be clear in your heart." Zhu Zhanji thought for a while and said, "In the next period of time, Grandpa Huang will love the second uncle very much, so that the second uncle has enough power to compete with you."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi sighed faintly: "Where do I get the power?"

"Daddy, I heard from the emperor's grandfather that the ministers all said that you are kind and have a good reputation." Zhu Zhanji glanced at Zhu Gaochi sideways and said, "Daddy, you are supported by civil servants, and you say you have no power .”

Zhu Gaochi grasped the key point of Zhu Zhanji's words just now: "Good name? When did I have a good name, why didn't I know it myself?"

"Daddy, you are quite famous among civil servants." Zhu Zhanji said in a strange tone, "When the ministers wrote the memorial to the emperor, they not only praised you for being a good prisoner, but also very kind, saying You have a heart of benevolence and righteousness, and it is Daming's blessing to have a benevolent prince like you."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a while, and his face immediately became heavy: "No wonder my father wrote to scold me before, so it was because of this."

"Daddy, it's a good thing for civil servants to praise you, but it's not a good thing to always praise you for your righteousness." Zhu Zhanji reminded Zhu Gaochi, "The emperor said that you are more famous than him, and that you are more righteous than him." .”

Zhu Gaochi was frightened by these words, and said with a pale face: "This...this..."

"Daddy, I told my husband, please tell the civil servants not to blow your rainbow fart all the time. If they keep praising you for your kindness in front of the emperor's grandfather, it will not be a good thing for you." Zhu Zhanji sighed in his heart Dao, the prince is really not easy to do. "You should also tell the ministers yourself, so that they don't always praise you in front of the emperor's grandfather. If you praise you too much, accidents will happen."

Zhu Gaochi nodded again and again: "You're right." He wiped the sweat off his face as he spoke, "I didn't expect the ministers to praise me so much in front of your grandpa."

"Second uncle and third uncle always say in front of the emperor's grandfather that you are supported by civil servants." Zhu Zhanji reminded Zhu Gaochi again, "Daddy, you have to be careful."

Zhu Gaochi straightened his face and said, "I will be careful."

"Second Uncle stays in the capital, and will definitely continue to win over courtiers, and at the same time, he will also deal with you." The emperor's acquiescence made Second Uncle's ambitions grow bigger and bigger, "Daddy, you will have a hard time in the future."

Zhu Gaochi smiled wryly and said, "I've been prepared for a long time." After speaking, he sighed and said, "I also guessed that your grandpa will call your second uncle back to the capital." Such a day was expected.

"Daddy, you just need to be ready." Zhu Zhanji didn't say anything more, because he knew his dad knew everything.

Zhu Gaochi didn't talk about political affairs anymore, but asked about the lives of ordinary people in Beijing.

While talking, Chen Wu walked in, first saluted Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji, and then respectfully reported

Said: "Your Highness, the emperor is calling you."

"Grandpa Huang is calling you, you go quickly."

"Father, I'll go now." Walking out of the East Palace, Zhu Zhanji asked Chen Wu, "What did the emperor call me?" In the past two days, the emperor was busy preparing for Ma Sanbao to go to the west to visit foreign countries.

Before they returned to Nanjing, Ma Sanbao had already done all the affairs of going abroad.Zhu Di also asked Si Tianjian to choose an auspicious day, which would be the Duanyang Festival on the fifth day of May.

"The slave does not know."

Zhu Zhanji guessed that it should be Ma Sanbao's mission to foreign countries.He hurried to the Imperial Study Room of Qianqing Palace, and when he approached, he found that Yang Shiqi and Xie Jin were there.

"I've seen Grandpa Huang." Zhu Zhanji saluted Zhu Di first.

Yang Shiqi and the others saluted Zhu Zhanji one after another: "I have seen Your Highness."

"Please, sir."

"Zhan Ji, come here." Zhu Di beckoned to Zhu Zhanji, and then picked up the "Document Dacheng" sent by Xie Jin and the others.

When Zhu Zhanji saw "The Great Completion of Documents", his eyes lit up immediately, and he said with surprise: "Master Xie, have you finished the book?"

"If you go back to Your Highness, it has been repaired."

Zhu Zhanji couldn't wait to pick up one and read it.After reading it for a while, he found that something was wrong, which was different from the "Yongle Dadian" in his golden finger book.

Last year, Zhu Di ordered Xie Jin to preside over the revision of the book, which was completed in just over a year.This is too fast.

"Zhanji, what do you think of this book?" Zhu Di asked.

Zhu Zhanji looked carefully again, and said sincerely: "It's a bit rough, and it's not the same as what you want, Grandpa Huang."

"Even Zhanji can see that you are not doing well in cultivation." Zhu Di looked at Xie Jin and the others with a sullen face, "This is not the revision book I want. Roughly compile the books I bought back together."

Xie Jin quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, forgive me."

Zhu Zhanji saw that Zhu Di's face was not good, so he interceded for Xie Jin and the others: "Grandpa, Mr. Xie and the others didn't do well in cultivation, so let them do it again."

Zhu Di calmed down and said, "I'll give you another chance. If you don't repair well this time, I will never forgive you lightly."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xie Jin said sincerely and fearfully, "Your servants must do their best to compile the book."

"Grandpa Huang, you can tell Mr. Xie what kind of book you want to repair, so as to save them from re-editing and making mistakes." Zhu Zhanji said again, "Grandpa Huang, you have to compile all the good books in the world. Together, it is not enough to understand the adults, you should send more people to repair books." Book repair is a complicated and huge project, and it is not enough to rely on dozens or hundreds of people.In fact, the most important thing is that there is no printing technique at this time.

He vaguely remembered that in his previous life, a lot of the "Yongle Canon" that the emperor asked people to repair seemed to be lost, and not many remained.

It's a pity that he still hasn't recovered the memory of his previous life, otherwise he can get the printing technique out, so that when "Yongle Dadian" is compiled, more copies can be printed.

"I will send more people to repair books this time."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Grandfather, please show me these books." Although these books are not very well done, it does not mean that the content of these books is not good.

"If you want to read it, just take it and read it." Although Zhu Di was dissatisfied with the bad books Xie Jin and the others had repaired, these books were not useless and could not be read.

"Thank you, Grandpa Huang." Zhu Zhanji asked, "Grandpa Huang, is there anything else? It's okay, I'll take my leave first."

"You go down first."

"Grandson resigns." Before Zhu Zhanji left, he asked Chen Wu and the others to move the books that Xie Jin and the others had edited to Kunning Palace.

Over the past year, Xie Jin and the others have edited hundreds of books.

These books were moved to the Kunning Palace in a mighty manner, and the scene was very spectacular.

Empress Xu picked up a book at random, flipped through it carefully, and felt that the repair was not bad.

"Isn't this book repaired very well? Why isn't your grandfather satisfied?"

"The content of these books is good, but not up to

To the goal of Grandpa Huang. "Zhu Zhanji said with a smile, "The book that the emperor wants is to benefit all generations. "

"If this is the case, then these books are not well-repaired." Empress Xu smiled, "However, these books are not bad, you can read them."

"So I asked Grandpa Huang for it."

Zhu Zhanji talked with Empress Xu for a while, and played with his little aunt for a while, then went back to his study and looked at the book he just got back from Zhu Di.

In the imperial study room, Zhu Di called Yao Guangxiao over and ordered him to work on the book with Xie Jin.He also asked Xie Jin and the others to recruit more educated people to participate in book revision together.

After talking about compiling the book, Zhu Di then told Yang Shiqi and the others about Ma Sanbao's mission to a foreign country.

Yang Shiqi and the others have no objections, and look forward to Ma Sanbao's mission to foreign countries.

Then, Zhu Di bestowed the name of Ma Sanbao as Zheng He, appointed Zheng He as the official eunuch on the voyage to the West, and set sail on the Duanyang Festival on the fifth day of May.

Soon it will be the Duanyang Festival on the fifth day of May.Early this morning, Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Di went to the pier in Nanjing City.

Before setting sail at the auspicious time, Zhu Di naturally wanted to say something to inspire the soldiers sailing to the West.

After speaking, Zhu Di personally burned incense and prayed for Zheng He and the others.Then, Zhu Di gave Zheng He a sword.

After Zhu Di and Zheng He finished talking, Zhu Zhanji stepped forward and said a few words to him, asking Zheng He to bring back some good things.He also reminded Zheng He not to forget to inquire about the continent he had told him in the letter before.

Zheng He said that he would not forget this incident, and promised that during the voyage to the West, the national prestige of Ming Dynasty would not be damaged.

The auspicious time has come, Zheng He bid farewell to Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji, boarded the ship and prepared to set off.

Before the fleet set off, Zhu Di originally ordered people to beat drums and set off firecrackers, but Zhu Zhanji felt that playing drums and setting off firecrackers was not ostentatious enough, so he asked the soldiers of Shenji Battalion to see Zheng He and them off with firecrackers.Similar to the famous wooden warehouse of later generations.

The mighty fleet set sail, the scene was very spectacular, and everyone present was excited to see it.

A few days after Zheng He left, it was Longevity Day.

This year's Longevity Day, many foreign envoys came, a little more than last year.This year's three-day Wanshou Festival was successfully held without any accidents.Last year's assassination did not happen again.

Speaking of assassins, during this year, Jin Yiwei found many members of the White Lotus Sect and wiped out many hidden White Lotus Sect strongholds, but they still did not find the main altar of the White Lotus Sect.
