The first navigator of the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Yunwen turned into the cloister, followed by a small eunuch.

When Zhu Yunwen was about to walk towards the Imperial Garden, he saw three brocade guards escorting one brocade guard out.

"Hong Yun, save me!" Zhu

Yunwen didn't believe his ears, turned to the little eunuch behind him, and asked, "Changsheng, was someone calling me just now?"

"Your Highness, I didn't hear anyone call you. However, among the guards just now, one of them called Hong Yun's name. I don't know who this Hong Yun is?" the little eunuch behind him responded.

"Stop them!" Zhu Yunwen heard the word "Hong Yun" and immediately remembered someone.

Changsheng, a eunuch who was one or two years younger than Zhu Yunwen, heard the order of Zhu Yunwen, the emperor's grandson, and immediately ran to the four brocade guards who were walking out.

The little eunuch Changsheng ran and shouted to Brother Se's guards: "Wait a minute, His Highness has called a few of you, you come over for a while."

Zhu Yunwen saw a Jinyi guard general banner coming over with three guards, two of whom were escorting a guard to the left and right.

Zhu Yunwen stared curiously at the guard, who was escorted, staring up and down.

"My subordinate Jinyi Wei General Banner Fu Rang, meet His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson. Fu Rang, who was dressed in brocade guard armor, clasped his fists and saluted Zhu Yunwen: "I don't know why His Highness stopped us?" "

What did he do?" Zhu Yunwen glanced at Fu Rang, and then looked at the guard who was being escorted.

Fu Rang replied truthfully: "This person dozed off during his duty, which damaged the prestige of Jinyi Wei, and his subordinates were about to arrest him for punishment, hoping that His Highness would be gracious."

Zhu Yunwen smiled, two small dimples appeared at the corners of his mouth, one hand covered his mouth and laughed for a while, and then said to Fu Rang: "That guard, what is your name?"

Zheng Hai glanced at Zhu Yunwen in a daze, a little hesitant.

"The imperial grandson asked you something, and you dared not answer! Your Highness, this person has no one in his eyes, ignoring His Highness, and his subordinates will punish him!" Fu Rang Zhenzhen said, with a sly smile on his face.

As soon as Fu Rang finished speaking, Zheng Hai immediately replied: "The emperor's grandson, the youngest one is named Zheng Hai, and he is on duty in the palace for the first time today. I was so excited last night that I didn't fall asleep, so I dozed off just now..."

"Hehehe!" Zhu Yunwen laughed, leaning forward and backward with laughter, his eyes narrowed together.

The little eunuch beside him, Changsheng, stood quietly and did not speak, while Fu Rang had a smile on his face, and his eyes were full of pride when he looked at Zheng Hai.

Seeing that the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen finally stopped, Fu Rang hugged his fists again and said: "Let His Highness see and laugh, his subordinates will take him down to punish

him well, and let him remember this lesson!" Zhu Yunwen smiled, held back a smile, and said to Fu Rang: "In this way, you hand him over to me, and I will punish him well! What do you think?"

"Your Highness, such stubborn guards who have no one in their eyes should be handed over to their subordinates! Fu Rang saw that Zhu Yunwen was also going to punish Zheng Hai, and assured with a resolute face: "Your Highness rest assured! His subordinates will severely punish this person, so that he will always remember this lesson and never forget it!" "

Could it be that His Highness's words are not good?" Zhu Yunwen stared at Fu Rang, his face a little unhappy.

When Fu Rang heard this, he immediately replied: "No, no! It's all up to His Highness to dispose of, someone will escort Zheng Hai and go with the imperial grandson!" Zhu

Yunwen pursed the corners of his mouth, smiled slightly, and walked happily towards the imperial garden.

The little eunuch Changsheng followed behind Zhu Yunwen, and behind him were two brocade guards escorting Zheng Hai, following behind.

Zhu Yunwen came to the gate of the imperial garden where Zheng Hai was standing guard just now, and the guard who was standing guard with Zheng Hai was still there, and there were two more guards next to him. One is the Jinyi guard who replaced Zheng Hai, and the other is the small flag official who led Zheng Hai into the palace.

The brocade guards of the Ming Dynasty also had official ranks, the highest official position was the commander, and the official rank was usually the third grade or from the third grade, and the official rank in the early Ming Dynasty had a grade change. Under the command, there are also commanders and acquaintances, commanders, pacification envoys, thousands of households, deputy thousand households, hundreds of households, trial hundred households, general flags, and small flags.

Xiaoqi is usually the smallest rank official of the Jinyi Guard, and then there are usually non-grade guards who do not enter the stream.

According to the different division of labor, the non-grade guards are divided into Tianwu generals, school captains, and wrestlers.

Tenmu Shogun was generally a guard who listened to the errand in front of the palace, while most of the other brocade guards who performed various guards and patrols in the palace were school captains.

Originally, the position that Jiang Cheng promised Zheng Hai was General Tianwu. Zheng Haigang was a brocade guard, and he was not clear about the rules in the palace. may be that he was not at ease with Zheng He's errands in front of the palace, so the token that Jiang Cheng gave to Zheng Hai when he entered the palace was just a token for an ordinary captain.

Seeing Zheng Hai being escorted and following behind the imperial grandson, the guards who were standing guard with Zheng Hai before were surprised: "Lord Xiaoqi, why did this Zheng Hai offend such a big man again?"

"It's really unlucky, how did Lao Tzu take such a hot potato! It's over, how should I explain to the commander now!" The little flag officer of Jinyi Wei looked depressed and muttered in a low voice: "This guy is too capable of causing trouble!" It's just a matter of offending the prince of Yingguo, how can even the imperial grandson have a grudge against him!"

The little flag official had a gloomy face, but he saw Zheng Hai smiling at him, and his face was very relaxed.

The little flag officer looked at Zheng Hai's back as he was escorted away and muttered: "Is this kid stupid, he can still laugh at this time!"

Zhu Yunwen came to a small pavilion in the imperial garden, and there were already several palace maids waiting there in the pavilion. On the stone table in the pavilion are a few small dishes, as well as snacks and fruits.

Zheng Hai and the others followed Zhu Yunwen to the pavilion in the imperial garden, and the two guards were still escorting Zheng Hai.

Zhu Yunwen looked at the Jinyi guards who were escorting Zheng Hai and said, "Okay, you let him go, retreat!"

The two Jinyi guards were slightly stunned, glanced at each other, and then retreated, with some confusion in their eyes.

"Zheng Hai, how am I going to punish you?" asked Zhu Yunwen seriously.

Zheng Hai knelt down on one knee and saluted respectfully: "Zheng Hai, captain of the Jinyi Guard, meet the imperial grandson." "

Alright, alright, I'm teasing you! Get up! Don't forget that the two of us are gentlemen's friends!" Zhu Yunwen stepped forward to help Zheng Hai.

Zheng Hai replied respectfully: "Subordinate Xie Huang Taisun for his rescue

!" "Okay, Zheng Hai! If you want to do this, I won't recognize you as a friend!" Zhu Yunwen pretended to be displeased.

Zheng Hai stood up and looked at the palace maids and eunuchs around him, still not daring to be rude.

Zhu Yunwen looked at the palace maids and eunuchs around him and said, "Okay, you all step down, I want to talk to Zheng Guards alone." The

palace maids and eunuchs answered yes, and they all withdrew from the pavilion and walked out of the imperial garden.

There was only a small eunuch left by Zhu Yunwen's side, and there was no one else.

"Shenzhi, come here, taste the things in this palace, how does it taste compared to Bai's first-class duck?" Zhu Yunwen pulled Zheng Hai into the pavilion and let Zheng Hai taste the delicious food on the stone table.

Zheng Hai glanced at the little eunuch Changsheng, and replied with a fist: "The minister doesn't dare! Thank Your Highness for your kindness

!" "Don't worry, Changsheng is my person, don't worry that someone will sue you, sit down!"

Zhu Yunwen pulled Zheng Hai again, directly pressed Zheng Hai's shoulder, and let Zheng Hai sit on the round stool next to the stone table. Zhu Yunwen sat down on the stool opposite Zheng Hai and pushed a plate of side dishes in front of Zheng Hai: "You taste this, it's very delicious! I'll let you eat, you can eat!" Zheng Hai

carefully picked up the chopsticks, took a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

"! The craftsmanship of the imperial chef in this palace is good, it's really delicious! I can actually eat the royal cuisine of this palace, it's like a dream!" Zheng Hai's heart was turbulent, but his face was extremely calm.

"How is it? Is it delicious? How is it better than Bai's Yipin duck?" Zhu Yunwen happily asked Zheng Hai how he felt.

Zheng Hai gave a thumbs up and replied, "It's delicious, it's awesome!"

Zhu Yunwen followed Zheng Hai's example, and also gave a thumbs up, and asked, "Shenzhi, what does this mourning mean?"

"Your Highness, this is praise! Very good, very satisfied."

"Hehehe, it's really interesting, Shenzhi, you're really fun!" Zhu Yunwen was very happy: "There are no outsiders here, you still treat me as Hong Yun, and I still call you Shenzhi." Changsheng, you go to the imperial dining room to get a pot of wine, I want to have a good drink with Shenzhi

!" "Your Highness..."

"Call me

Hong Yun!" "Hong Yun, I can't drink alcohol in the palace!" Zheng Hai was very sober and hurriedly refused.

He understands that the consequences are still very serious, and if he loses his words after drinking, it may be a major crime of killing his head.

Zheng Hai thought for a while and said, "Hong Yun, we are gentlemen's friends, and gentlemen's friendships are as light as water. The first time we met outside the palace, we didn't drink, and this time we also used tea instead of bar

!""Good! The gentleman's friendship is as light as water!".
