The first navigator of the Ming Dynasty

Zheng Hai still looked serious, and in the time of Ma He's silence, he also thought about many things.

Since he has traveled to the era of Zheng He, he wants to solve some historical mysteries of the Ming Dynasty. He wanted to go to the West with Zheng He to witness the greatest voyage of this era.

Zheng Hai looked at Ma He, his face was extremely reverent. In his eyes, the young man in front of him was no longer the little eunuch Ma He, but the future Ming navigator Zheng He.

Zheng Hai looked sincere, and said solemnly: "Ma He, let's bow down! We are brothers in this life, your hatred is my hatred!"

Ma He stared at Zheng Hai, tears flashed, and echoed: "Okay! We bow down! Be a brother for a lifetime!"

In Qingshou Temple, the monks were the first to know the news that Ma He was going to worship with the beggar Zheng Hai. When Zheng Hai and Ma He walked into the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the news spread quietly.

"Have you heard? Gonggong Ma of the palace wants to bow down to that beggar gang leader!"

"What Gonggong Ma, that's the abbot's apprentice, and it stands to reason that he is our junior brother." You said he was going to bow down to the beggar

?" "You don't know yet?" The monks

of all sizes in the temple were quietly talking about it. The guards in the backyard who were in charge of guarding the princess also received the news.

The guard Lu Xing found Xu Miaojin's maid Xiaolan, and he said to Xiaolan: "Xiaolan, let me tell you a strange thing! I heard that Gonggong Ma is going to bow to the beggar named Zheng Hai, and they are holding a ceremony in the Daxiong Treasure Palace!" "What? Gonggong Ma wants to bow to a beggar!"

The maid Xiaolan was a little puzzled, and then said: "No, I have to tell the little master about this matter quickly! She must want to know the news!"

Seeing the maid Xiaolan leave in a hurry, the guard Lu Xing showed a sly smile on his face, as if Xiaolan's reaction had already been expected by him.

"What! You said that Zheng Hai wants to bow down with Ma He? What you said is true?" Yuan Hui, who was in the abbot's room, was surprised when he heard the news.

A little monk reported the news he heard to the abbot monk Daoyan, but Yuan Heng questioned him, so he had to reply again: "This is indeed true, Senior Brother Ma and Master Zheng Hai are now in the Daxiong Treasure Hall..."

Monk Daoyan touched his beard and said with a smile: "Monk Liuzhuang, this is their business, how can I interfere? Although I am Ma He's master, I can't interfere with who he befriends him..."

In the Daxiong Hall of Qingshou Temple, two young people are standing under the giant Buddha, each holding three sticks of incense in their hands. The two knelt down in front of the Buddha statue and raised the burning Buddha incense in their hands above their heads.

"I

, Zheng Hai..." "Wait, Xiaohai, I should come first!" Ma He interrupted Zheng Hai's oath, he said: "Xiaohai, I am two years older than you, in order of eldest and youngest, I should swear first."

Zheng Hai was a little puzzled, and said to

Ma He: "I am 21 this year, how old are you this year?" Ma He said: "No! You are only 18 years old this year, I am 20 years old, I am two years older than you

!" "Ah!" Zheng Hai forgot that he had crossed into Ma He's childhood friend, who was three years younger than his original age.

Zheng Hai originally wanted to swear with Ma He, and then become the eldest brother himself, and by the way, he persuaded Ma He to change the title directly to Zheng He. The mystery of Ma and being given the surname "Zheng" in history may be solved directly.

However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and Zheng Hai's idea fell through.

Hearing that Ma He's age was 20 years old, Zheng Hai calculated a time: the twenty-third year of Hongwu (1390).

There may have been a lot of things in this year in history, such as the current Zheng Hai and Ma He's sworn worship. However, in the year recorded in the history books, there are three things in Zheng Hai's impression:

First, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, Zhu Di, the king of Jin, and Fu Youde, the prince of Yingguo, did not spend money on the northern expedition to the Northern Yuan Dynasty and returned with a great victory

; second, Zhu Yuanzhang used the Hu Weiyong case to kill another great hero, Li Shanchang, and killed more than 70 members of Li Shanchang's family, and even the Confucian minister Song Lian was implicated and died on the way to Sichuan;

third, Zhu Yuanzhang once again issued the "ban on foreign feudal traffic order," and the Ming Dynasty imposed a stricter ban on the sea.

Just when Zheng Hai was recalling the major events in history, the eunuch Ma He had already taken the lead in shouting the oath of worship:

"I, Ma He, am here today to marry Zheng Hai as brothers with different surnames. I swear to the Buddha that I will share the blessings and hardships with Zheng Hai in this life. We don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but we want to die on

the same day and month of the same year!" Zheng Hai was a little unhappy, and said in his heart: You Zheng He died of illness in Guri, India in 1433 at the age of 63. I don't want to die on the same day, month, and year, I want to live a few more years! If I had known that, I shouldn't have let you get up! I hope that the oath is just an oath, and it doesn't come true...

When Zheng Hai was thinking in his heart, Ma He's voice came into Zheng Hai's ears: "Xiao Hai, why are you stunned, it's your turn!"

Zheng Hai came back to his senses, held the Buddha incense, and also shouted: "I, Zheng Hai, am here today to marry Ma He as a brother with a different surname." I swear to the Buddha that in this life we will share the blessings with the horse

and the horses, and we will share the difficulties, we will not seek to be born on the same day and month in the same year, but we will die on the same day and month in the same year!" Ma He looked at Zheng Hai and said, "Xiaohai, I will be your eldest brother in the future." However, you still call me Sanbao, and I still call you Xiaohai. After all, my identity is quite special....."

Zheng Hai nodded and responded: "Xiaohai, understand!" After

taking an oath, the two of them inserted the Buddha incense into the incense ash burner on the incense table, and the brief worship ceremony was over.

"Yo! Is this worship ceremony over? I still want to witness this rare anecdote! Why are you ending so quickly?"

Zheng Hai inserted the three incense sticks into the incense ash burner, looked back at the person who came, and it was Xu Miaojin from the Yanwang Mansion who spoke.

Ma He respectfully saluted the visitor and said, "Ma He has seen the little master of Miaojin.

Xiaolan, the maid who followed Xu Miaojin in, also echoed: "This beggar and eunuch worship is really a great miracle in the world! I can't witness this worship process, it's a pity!"

"What! already bowed?" The warlock Yuan Hui walked in from outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall just in time to hear Xiaolan's words.

Seeing Yuan Heng, Zheng Hai immediately recognized that this was the previous fortune teller. Zheng Hai remembered the scene where he mistook the real physiognomy genius Yuan Heng for an actor, and he felt a little embarrassed.

When Ma He saw Yuan Heng, they had met at Dao Yan before, so he hurriedly saluted and said, "I've seen Liuzhuang Jushi."

Yuan Hui, who was already in his fifties, sighed, and then said to Ma He: "Ma He doesn't have to be polite. I am friends with your master, and you are my nephew..."

"Horses and salute again.

Yuan Jue sighed again, he looked at Zheng Hai on the side, his eyes were very hot. He bowed down to Zheng Hai and said, "I've seen Mr. Zheng!"

Yuan Jue's call stunned several people in the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

Xiao Xu Miaojin looked at the old Taoist priest Yuan Hui in surprise, and said with a smile: "Hehehe, old Taoist, how do you call this little beggar a gentleman? Do you have a brain problem, or have you eaten the wrong thing?"

Xiao Lan said: "Little master, I think this old Taoist priest is old and confused!" Zheng

Hai looked at Yuan Heng, who was called a strange man of physiognomy by later generations, and didn't know how to return to Yuan Hui's words that he had counted down on the street before.

Zheng Hai secretly felt guilty: If Yuan Heng took my words seriously, would I have leaked the secret of heaven and the historical ending... Will there be a curse? Will it change history?

Even such a thing as crossing has happened, and Zheng Hai is not sure if he will encounter something beyond science again.

Yuan Hui saw that Zheng Hai did not respond to him, and said: "Mr. Zheng, don't you know Yuan? I am the one who told you fortune on the street before, my name is Yuan Hui, the word Tingyu, and the name is Liuzhuang Jushi..."

Uncle Yuan, they are from the Yan Palace, this is Princess Xu's sister and her maid. Please don't mind Uncle Yuan.

Yuan Hui didn't take the two little girls seriously at all, but continued to look at Zheng Hai respectfully, and saluted again: "Mr. Zheng, Yuan wants to learn Taoism from Mr., please Mr. Zheng

don't hesitate to teach!" You recognized the wrong person!" Zheng Hai really had no choice but to pretend that there was no such thing.

"Mr

. Zheng..." Zheng Hai looked up and asked for help, and suddenly found a small man with unkempt hair at the door looking into the hall. He hurriedly said: "Xiaoyun, I'm here!"

Yuan Hui said to Zheng Hai again: "Mr. Zheng, you haven't promised Yuan yet? Are you willing to teach you, and you are willing to worship you as a teacher?"

Xiao Xu Miaojin turned to Ma He and asked,

"Father-in-law Ma, does your uncle have a problem with his head?" Before Ma He

could answer, the little beggar Di Yun came in and heard Xiao Xu Miaojin's words, and immediately interjected: "How can Mr. Yuan's head have a problem, he is accurate in fortune-telling!

"You stinky beggar!" "You

have a problem with your head..."

Xu Miaojin and the little beggar scolded each other.

Zheng Hai hurriedly pulled the little beggar over and said in a low voice: "Xiaoyun, please tell Mr. Yuan, I have a problem with my head, and my brain is burned out..."
