The first navigator of the Ming Dynasty

"Oh my God! On this day, I was actually allowed to enter the palace as a duty in the palace! Could it be that Fu Youde's tragic fate also has something to do with me?"

After listening to the summons of the eunuch in the palace, Zheng Hai's mind fluctuated.

On November 29, the 27th year of Hongwu (1394 AD), Fu Youde, the Duke of Yingguo, will draw an exclamation mark of his life on this day!

Today, Zhu Yuanzhang is going to hold a large palace banquet in the palace, inviting the civil and military ministers of the court, and Zheng Hai is in charge of the security work of the banquet.

Today he is going to enter the palace and be in charge of the imperial guard, which is to be Zhu Yuanzhang's personal bodyguard. Protect Zhu Yuanzhang's safety, and deal with emergencies at any time, such as blocking and killing assassins, blocking knives for Zhu Yuanzhang, etc.

Of course, if Zhu Yuanzhang wants to kill someone, then Zheng Hai and several other imperial guards are the ruthless characters who are responsible for taking down the person to be killed and being responsible for the execution.

Zheng Hai put on the most gorgeous brocade clothes and flying fish suits, put on black leather boots, and wore the embroidered spring knife given by the emperor.

He was both excited and confused, excited and curious: "What happened to this banquet? Was Fu Youde's death caused by an emergency, or was it planned by Lao Zhu? Could it be that this is a Hongmen banquet?"

Three years ago, on the prairie, he knew that Fu Youde, the Duke of Yingguo, would have such a day.

He dared to make a three-year covenant with Fu Youde because he knew that Fu Youde's life would end on November 29, the 27th year of Hongwu.

But he didn't expect that he would witness the arrival of this day, let alone that he would be directly involved.

Today, the courtiers did not go to the morning court, and the palace and the palace were busy preparing for the afternoon banquet.

In order to complete the task of the imperial guard, Zheng Hai followed the route of the courtiers and walked the route into the palace.

This was the first time he had observed the palace from the perspective of a courtier entering the palace. In the past, he entered from the side gate as a Jinyi guard and token, but today he walked through the main gate.

Enter from the noon gate of the imperial palace, walk through the Wulong Bridge, cross the Fengtian Gate, step on the empty stone square, and the majestic Fengtian Hall is on the three-story pedestal in front of you.

Walking up to the three-story pedestal, a large palace about eleven rooms wide stands in front of you. The overlapping eaves, the golden glazed tiles, and the double eaves and heavy ridges are very magnificent!

This is the first time that Zheng Hai has seriously looked at this palace from the front: the carved beams and painted buildings, the vermilion lacquer gate is majestic and solemn, and the gold-carved lattice windows are exquisite and luxurious.

After walking through a few doors, I stepped into the hall, the spacious hall, the tall columns, and the most eye-catching thing was the golden dragon chair on the high platform in the middle.

This Fengtian Hall is the so-called Jinluan Palace, where Zhu Yuanzhang is about to feast his ministers.

The eunuchs and court ladies were setting up their seats in the hall of the Fengtian Hall and arranging the various decorations of the banquet.

After walking around the Fengtian Temple and checking around, the time was in the afternoon.

Coming out of the Fengtian Temple, Zheng Hai walked towards the martial arts tower to the west.

Before he reached the martial tower, in the corridor between the Fengtian Hall and the martial tower, Zheng Hai met an acquaintance.

"Zheng Hai, it's you again!" Fu

Rang was dressed in a brocade dress and looked at Zheng Hai with a depressed face, the expression on his face seemed to be saying a word: the road is narrow.

"See Zheng Baihu!" several

brocade-clothed guards greeted Zheng Hai.

Zheng Hai didn't mind Fu Rang's rudeness, but instead smiled, and said politely: "Fu Zongqi, at today's banquet, are you in charge of guarding the gate of Fengtian Palace

?" "Zheng Hai, what do you want? I'm on duty, what?"

"It's nothing, it's good!" Zheng Hai still had a smile on his face, and his smile was even brighter than usual.

"Good dog doesn't get in the way, it's okay, get out of the way!"

Fu Rang was not polite to Zheng Hai at all, he didn't regard Zheng Hai at the official and senior levels as a superior at all, his nostrils were facing the sky, his eyebrows were raised

, and he was very arrogant! Zheng Hai took a step to the side, and he really gave Fu Rang a way.

This move surprised Fu Rang and the other Jinyi guards with an expression of disbelief. They didn't expect that Zheng Hai would make way for a general flag

! Fu Rang came back to his senses, and the surprise on his face was immediately replaced by pride, and he laughed and said: "Zheng Hai, you are interested! Let's go!" Fu Rang

glanced at Zheng Hai proudly, and swaggered past Zheng Hai, with a proud face.

"Wait

!" Fu Rang's brisk pace hadn't gone far, and when he heard Zheng Hai's words, he couldn't help but be stunned, and turned his head to stare at Zheng Hai: "I knew that you didn't have a good heart! Zheng Hai, what do you want?" Zheng Hai didn't

look at Fu Rang's face, but stared at a red bag next to the saber on Fu Rang's waist.

The red bag is embroidered with the word "wonderful", and with the swing of the body, you can vaguely see the mandarin duck lotus pattern embroidered on the other side.

"You can leave, but leave the bag behind!" Zheng

Hai said in a calm tone, but the smile on his face disappeared, and his eyes were sharp.

"This is not your trick, why did you tell me to stay?" Fu Rang looked arrogant and ignored Zheng Hai.

"Why?

I saw a flash of cold light and a stabbing sound.

Fu Rang and the guards were stunned.

No one expected that Zheng Hai would turn his face when he said it, and he didn't expect that Zheng Hai would openly draw a knife in the palace.

The saber on Fu Rang's waist fell on the stone slab, and lying on the floor with the saber was a brocade bag.

There was another stabbing sound, and Zheng Hai's knife was already in its sheath.

Fu Rang was silent, his eyes glaring at Zheng Hai fiercely.

The brocade guards opened their mouths wide and looked at Zheng Hai in a daze.

Zheng Hai stretched out his right hand, palm facing up, and gently put it forward.

Seeing Fu Rang standing in place and glaring at Zheng Hai, a brocade guard hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the brocade bag on the ground, and sent it to Zheng Hai.

"Zheng Baihu, you put it away!" said the brocade guard cautiously and hurriedly retreated.

Zheng Hai put away his bag, regained his smile, and said a meaningful word to Fu Rang: "Fu Rang, it's good to go, don't send it!" I hope that in the next life, you won't meet me again."

Fu Rang's face was red, and his cheeks were bulging with anger. He held back and didn't say anything cruel to Zheng Hai again.

Picking up the waist knife on the ground, he wanted to hang it back on his waist, only to find that the button tied to the waist knife had been cut off by Zheng Hai, and he couldn't hang it back up.

The other Jinyi guards around him reminded: "Fu Zongqi, let's go quickly, the banquet will start soon." Later, His Majesty and the ministers will come. "

Hmph!" Fu Rang snorted coldly, took the waist knife, and turned to leave.

Before he had taken a few steps, he turned his head and glared at Zheng Hai, gritted his teeth and said, "Zheng Hai, you wait! One day, I will make you unable to survive or die." You wait for me!"

Zheng Hai smiled and did not answer.

Waiting for Fu Rang to go away, Zheng Hai said to himself: "I'm afraid you won't have a chance, in the next life, if you still remember me, then let's talk about it." "
