The first navigator of the Ming Dynasty

Zheng Hai himself didn't expect that what he said to the little beggar Di Yun caused Xu Miaojin to misunderstand and attack Ma He.

Zheng Hai really wants to enter the Yan Wangfu, after all, the future true son of heaven is Yan Wang Zhu Di. If he can enter the Yanwang Mansion early, maybe he can not only grow up with Zheng He, but also witness the rise of Zhu Di. He also wants to mix up his qualifications, and maybe he can become the founding hero of the Yongle Dynasty.

Therefore, Zheng Hai did have this plan in his heart, but he didn't have time to tell Ma He yet. He slipped out when he was talking to little Diyun, and then he inadvertently fell into a situation of injustice.

was so mixed with Xiao Xu Miaojin, Zheng Hai was difficult to ride a tiger.

He looked at Princess Xu and said, "This is indeed what I said. I want to enter the Yanwang Mansion as a guard. However, this is my personal thought, and I haven't had time to say it to Sanbao yet..."

"You quibble! You are sworn brothers, you are here to help him shirk it, that's why you say this!" Xiao Xu Miaojin didn't believe Zheng Hai's statement at all, and the spearhead was still pointed at Ma He.

Ma He once again respectfully saluted the princess and Xiao Xu Miaojin, and said, "Princess Yu, little master Miaojin, the slave really doesn't know that Zheng Hai has this plan. The minion originally planned to help my righteous brother find a place to live near the palace. Then, buy him something, and maybe he can start some small business, which is better than being a beggar. Slave, how dare you take him into the palace without authorization, and ask the princess and the little master to see it

!""Sister, don't believe them....."

"Okay, Miaojin! Ma and they have explained clearly, this is a non-existent thing. I believe in Ma and.

Princess Xu interrupted Xu Miaojin's words, and then said: "Even if Ma He wants his righteous brother to enter the palace as a guard, it is not for him to be the master." This matter also has to go through the royal palace guard department, and to be a guard, you must also have a military status.

Princess Xu paused and glanced at Zheng Hai again.

Zheng Hai is old enough to join the army, and he is tall, but his body is relatively thin. The most important thing is that Zheng Hai has no military registration, he is a beggar without household registration, let alone military registration.

Princess Xu is the eldest daughter of Xu Da, the king of Wuning, Zhongshan, the founder of the Ming Dynasty. She is gifted and intelligent, has been studying since childhood, is knowledgeable, and is known as "female students".

She is the daughter of the famous general Xu Da, and she has followed Zhu Di all the year round, and she is familiar with military soldiers. It can be said that she is a talented woman who is both civil and military.

After Zhu Di, the king of Yan, took up the throne of Beiping, Zhu Di alone could not handle the military affairs of the north and the affairs of the Yan Wangfu at the same time. And Princess Xu is the biggest housekeeper and hostess of Yan Wangfu, except for the military and political affairs handled by Zhu Di in Beiping Mansion, everything else is basically handled by Princess Xu.

Behind a successful man is often a great woman. And behind Zhu Di, the king of Yan, is Princess Xu, she is Zhu Di's virtuous helper, and she is the core and hostess of the Yan Palace.

Princess Xu has some understanding of Zheng Hai's skills, after all, she has seen Zheng Hai kidnap the guard Lu Xing. She stared at Zheng Hai and said, "If you want to be a guard, you need to wait for the prince to return from the Northern Expedition." At that time, Ma He asked the prince for instructions, and if you are suitable, he will grant you military status. Now that the prince is on the expedition, you might as well go to the backyard of the palace to help temporarily and do some chores..."

Xiao Xu Miaojin suddenly said: "Sister, in addition to the guards in the palace, there are eunuchs and palace maids. He can't be a guard, so it's better to be a eunuch..."

"Nonsense!" Princess Xu glared at Xiao Xu Miaojin and reprimanded sternly: "If you dare to mess around again, I will drive you back to Tianfu!"

Xiao Xu Miaojin stuck out his tongue and grimaced at Zheng Hai.

Zheng Hai was taken aback by Xu Miaojin's words, and secretly smacked his tongue: Isn't it just that the beggar stole the wallet once, and it wasn't stolen by me and Xiaoyun, is it necessary for the little girl to hold a grudge like this!

Princess Xu trained Xiao Xu Miaojin, and turned back to Zheng Hai and asked: "Would you like to go to the palace first to do some miscellaneous work and be a servant for a few days?"

Ma He saw that the princess was so generous, and he hurriedly thanked Zheng Hai first: "The slave and the righteous brother thank the princess for her kindness, Zheng Hai quickly thank the princess!"

"I'm willing..."

As soon as Zheng Hai said it, he felt that something was wrong.

Zheng Hai was pulled by Ma He to kneel down to thank Princess Xu, while Xu Miaojin looked unhappy and was pulled out of the Daxiong Treasure Hall by the princess.

Princess Xu finished praying for Zhu Di and doing good deeds, and after saying goodbye to Daoyan, she got into the carriage back to the palace and left Qingshou Temple.

Zheng Hai and the little beggar naturally followed the back of the convoy and went to the Yanwang Mansion to report for duty.

Princess Xu's carriage did not go fast, on the one hand, in order to make the car smooth and avoid bumping into the car, Princess Xu, Xu Miaojin and others, on the other hand, the other entourage mostly followed on foot.

There were horseback guards in front of the carriage to clear the way, and some soldiers on foot behind them.

Among the guards on foot, Lu Xing said to another guard: "Ge San, why did they follow us back to the mansion?"

The princess asked him to do chores in the palace temporarily, saying that he would wait for the prince to come back and then make a decision

..."Lu Xing said indignantly: "Damn! Just because he wants to be like us, it's really a fool's dream!" A stinky beggar!

" "Then do we want to find someone to put him down....."The guard Ge San did not say everything, but made a gesture of cutting his throat.

Lu Xing glanced at Zheng Hai, who was following the entourage of the palace, gritted his teeth and said, "That's nature. However, at the moment, we are not in a position to do so, so you are looking for good people and waiting for my instructions. In Fuzhong, I still have some connections, and I won't let him go well.

The guard Ge San nodded.

Out of Qingshou Temple, the convoy drove along the avenue. The streets are wide enough to accommodate at least two horse-drawn carriages at once, and there are many vendors setting up their stalls along the road.

Zheng Hai once consulted the information and knew that Qingshou Temple was on West Chang'an Avenue in modern Beijing, but Beijing in the Ming Dynasty was still called Beiping at this time.

The convoy went straight north along the street, then turned east, and a towering wall and gate appeared in front of it.

"Brother Hai, this is the former imperial city in front of this. The little beggar told Zheng Hai excitedly.

Zheng Hai nodded and said, "Well, this city wall is really high.

Zheng Hai looked up at the city wall, there was a city tower on the city wall, which was the imperial city of the Yuan Dynasty in the past. After the Yuan Dynasty was replaced by the Ming Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty became Beiping Mansion. After the construction of Xu Da and Zhu Di, the inner and outer cities of Beiping have been rebuilt and reinforced.

Zheng Hai couldn't help but be amazed when he looked at this magnificent inner city. Thinking that Li Jinglong led an army of 500,000 to besiege Beiping in the Battle of Jingyan, but failed to defeat it for a certain reason, this city defense will be really difficult to break through for a while and a half.

Entering the city gate of the inner city, the convoy turned south, passed through several streets and alleys, and finally arrived at the Yanwang Mansion. The Yanwang Mansion covers a large area, and it is also surrounded by high walls.

When Zheng Hai checked the information of Zheng He and Zhu Di, he checked the Yanwang Mansion, but the accounts on the Internet were different. Some people say that the Yanwang Mansion was established by Zhu Di occupying the Longfu Palace of the Yuan Dynasty before the occupation, and some people say that the Yanwang Mansion was the Taigong Palace before the Yuan Dynasty.

In Zheng Hai's opinion, these two statements are correct, but they are not all right, because the Yanwang Mansion he saw was actually bigger. Judging by Zheng Hai's visual inspection, the Yanwang Mansion in front of him should be surrounded by the Longfu Palace and the Taigong Palace of the Yuan Dynasty, and is composed of two major buildings.

Zheng Hai followed the convoy into the Yan Wangfu through the side door, and Ma He led him and the little beggar to the annex on the side of the palace and handed it over to a chief steward surnamed Zhao. Ma He explained a few words, asked Zheng Hai to follow Mr. Zhao, and then went to the palace to be busy.

Zheng Hai followed Manager Zhao to familiarize himself with some of the miscellaneous work in the other courtyard and some of the rules of the palace. He was arranged in the outer courtyard of the palace, mainly responsible for horses and carriages to pull goods, that is, to run errands for the palace and pick up goods.

"Little Liuzi, come here, this is a new guy arranged for you. His specific food and accommodation are arranged by you. Manager Zhao shouted to a young father-in-law with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks.

"Manager Zhao, don't worry! With my little sixth son here, the quasi-insurance arrangements are properly arranged. The father-in-law named Xiao Liuzi looked flattering at Manager Zhao, glanced at Zheng Hai and the little beggar, and his smile immediately turned into a look of disdain.

The little sixth son with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks looked at

Zheng Hai and said angrily: "You are Zheng Hai?" Zheng Hai replied without humility or arrogance: "I am Zheng Hai, dare to ask my father-in-law what to call him?"

"This father-in-law and Mr. Zhao are of the same sect, and everyone under me calls me Zhao Liuye." And so you call it. "The eunuch Zhao Liuzhi is arrogant, and he is the same as when he faced the old eunuch Zhao just now.

The little beggar Di Yun rolled his eyes and said with disdain: "Didn't that Chief Zhao just call you Little Liuzi? Why did you become Zhao Liuye?

Didn't you take advantage of us?" "Hmph, little beggar, how can a pariah like you come in the palace!" The eunuch Zhao Liu glared at the little beggar Di Yun, and then said: "If it weren't for the face of Chief Manager Zhao, I would have blasted you out a long time ago! If you want to stay in the palace, then listen to me obediently!"

Zheng Hai didn't want the two of them to be stiff, so he hurriedly said, "Gonggong Zhao, where do we live?"

Zhao Liu's face was unhappy, but he glanced at Zheng Hai, and it was not easy to attack, so he said: "Accommodation, I will naturally arrange it for you, come with me

!" The little beggar pulled Zheng Hai's clothes and said in a low voice: "Brother Hai, why did he bully us? He just came here to show us his face, and he doesn't know what he will do to us in the future!"

Zheng Hai stretched out a finger on his lips to make a boo, telling Di Yun not to say anything. He took Di Yun's hand and followed the eunuch Zhao Liu through the courtyard, and then came to a side door.

The guard guarding the door greeted him: "Little Liuzi, are you going out?"

The eunuch Zhao Liu grinned, hunched his waist, and said with a smile: "This is not arranged by Chief Manager Zhao, I want to take them out."

Zheng Hai and the little beggar looked at each other, both of them had doubts in their hearts, but they still followed the eunuch Zhao Liu out of the side door.
