I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 165 Tang Bohu Wang Shouren sets out for Japan! The Eight Tiger Eunuchs sailed to the West again!

Dali Temple cell.

"You can all go out."

The jailer opened the cell with an expressionless face and said something to the prisoners in the cell.

Wang Shouren subconsciously raised his head and looked at the jailer...Does the word "you" include him?

No one moved, including Wang Shouren.

First, Wang Shouren knew that it would be difficult to clear his name. Second, Wang Shouren looked at the other prisoners and knew what he might say to them.

After all, he has also understood these days that these prisoners did not make any big mistakes, they were just unwilling to lose money and disrupted the order of Taizu's death anniversary.

The crime may be serious or minor.

"What about you! You're talking about something!"

"You can go out now! Our Dali Temple is not a place that raises you for free!"

"Speaking of which, apart from Mr. Qian, you are already a respectable man. You stayed in our Dali Temple for free for several days. Are you embarrassed?"

The jailer was speechless and just kicked and whipped, as if he wanted to drive away this group of burdensome people.

"I don't have a house anymore, why are I still going out?" The disheveled Qian Yuanwai finally said.

"Let's make a comeback! Don't you still have hundreds of acres of land...a dozen boats! Let me tell you a piece of news, the Presidential Office has released the news...The Jinling Baobao Market will reopen after Taizu's death! Don't you want to make up for it? Really? Once the treasure money trading market is opened, it will last for three months until Taizu’s birthday in October!”

The jailer knew that there was no point in saying anything else, so he immediately released a breaking piece of news.

"Ok?"

"The treasure banknote market has restarted!"

"It's like saying that our treasure money, no, is not waste paper?"

"Do we still have a chance to make a comeback?"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Shouren found that the inmates had come to life, and the eyes of each one had light again. The inmates in other cells were almost the same, and the entire cell seemed to have come to life.

"Really? Sir!"

"Is this news true?"

Many people still subconsciously don’t believe it.

"Believe it or not! Believe it or not! You can get it! If you want to continue to stay inside, you can...stay with ten gold coins for one day! We will not give you a chance to eat for free!"

The jailer rolled his eyes and didn't even want to explain.

"Hiss! Ten gold coins a day, you are robbing money! Now ten gold coins are worth more than one tael after all!"

"I want to get out! I want to get out!"

These people finally rushed out of the cell under double stimulation. Suddenly, Wang Shouren found that he was the only one left in this cell, and he felt a little lonely again.

However, the jailer did not leave at this moment, but came directly to him and untied his anklets.

"Master Wang, please go out with me, there is a big shot who wants to see you." The jailer became polite again.

"Huh? Me... see me?" Wang Shouren was surprised and subconsciously glanced at his father: "Where is my dad?"

"That big shot only asked to see you." The jailer glanced at Wang Hua.

"Go ahead, son, and remember not to talk nonsense." Wang Hua also warned Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren nodded slightly and followed the jailer out with a trace of doubt in his heart.

As soon as he left, he found that the jailer took him to change into his own clothes and asked him not to wear prison uniform.

Then... they took him out of the cell in Dali Temple. The moment he came out of the cell, he saw the sun again for almost twenty days, and he couldn't help but cover up the sun.

"Brother, where are you taking me?" Wang Shouren finally realized something was wrong, and the person taking him was replaced by a pianist.

"Come along, you'll know in a moment." The man didn't say anything and just led the way.

Then, Wang Shouren discovered that when he arrived at the office of Dali Temple, in the reception room, Wang Chao, the minister of Dali Temple, was drinking tea with a eunuch.

"Sir, Wang Shouren has been brought here."

"This is our Lord Wang from Dali Temple."

"Shen, see Mr. Wang."

Wang Shouren quickly saluted and ignored the eunuch.

"Eunuch Luo, Wang Shouren has been brought here."

Wang Chao just nodded to him and then spoke politely to the eunuch.

The eunuch turned out to be Luo Xiang, one of the Eight Tigers. He was a close minister of the emperor, and Wang Chaoshan wanted to treat him politely.

"Did you let him wash up?" Luo Xiang looked Wang Shouren up and down, then frowned slightly and felt the strange aura on Wang Shouren's body.

Wang Shouren felt uncomfortable being looked at, and now he also found that his body was itchy.

"Not yet..." The official hesitated.

"Why don't you take him to wash up quickly!" Wang Chao scolded him directly.

"it is good!"

So Wang Shouren was taken to wash up again and was given a new set of clothes.

He felt more and more strange, and even asked the official, only to find out that the eunuch was the eunuch beside the emperor.

This made him even more strange.

"It's much more pleasing to the eye now. Wang Shouren, let's go with the Za family."

He appeared in front of Luo Xiang again, and Luo Xiang didn't talk nonsense to Wang Chao and just left with Wang Shouren.

Wang Chao even sent them out personally.

After getting on the carriage, Wang Shouren became even more curious.

"Father-in-law, where are we going?" He suppressed his slight dislike for the eunuch and asked decisively.

"The Za family thought you were mute! Naturally, I went to see His Majesty. His Majesty wants to see you... When I see Your Majesty later, I can't be like your father..."

Luo Xiang finally waited for him and quickly told him some details and precautions for meeting the emperor without stopping him.

But Wang Shouren was already confused. What, His Majesty wants to see him?

How is it possible, how could it be? He is such an inconspicuous little person, even a tainted official who has committed crimes. Why does Your Majesty want to see him and why do you want to see him?
He couldn't help but recall the only scene and the only conversation he had seen with the emperor.

He was thinking about it, but he didn't know why the emperor wanted to see him?
Does his father know? And...when you meet the emperor, what should you say and what should you not say? His father didn’t teach him anything!
He was a little nervous and worried... Although he gained a lot in the cell, he also tried to analyze Zhu Houzhao's thoughts on coming to Jinling, but the information he got was too little, and his analysis was completely useless.

In addition, he was not familiar with the place and place of Jinling. He was not accompanied by his father when he saw the emperor again... he was unavoidably nervous.

"Okay! We're here, come down."

In his wild thoughts, Wang Shouren couldn't even feel where he was.

Then, when he got off the ground, he was even more surprised.

Because this is the dock outside Jinling City. The emperor wants to meet him at this place? This meeting place immediately filled his mind with questions.

He could only follow Luo Xiang numbly to the dock.

The dock...has been cleared.

Except for dozens of boats on the river and heavily guarded soldiers outside, there was no one else.

But Wang Shouren noticed that some of these ships were decorated with lights, and some were filled with soldiers, roughly divided into two teams.

What is your Majesty doing? Do you really want to sail to the Western Ocean and start immediately? Wang Shouren suddenly thought of the message about the Great Court Meeting he heard in the cell.

"Just wait here."

Wang Shouren, who was thinking wildly, boarded the largest boat, and then... he did not see Zhu Houzhao for the first time, but was left alone.

Because Zhu Houzhao is talking now.

"Anyone who offends our Ming Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away! When you go to the Japanese country, you will definitely show off the prestige of our country..."

Wang Shouren happened to hear Zhu Houzhao saying this impassionedly.

Isn't it? Your Majesty is going to send troops to Japan! ?
Wang Shouren was even more shocked.

"Also! Qiu Ju, I hope you will target the Three Treasures Eunuch. Your mission on this voyage to the West is even more important than the Three Treasures Eunuch. You are responsible for promoting the wealth and beauty of our Ming Dynasty to the barbarian world in the West... You must communicate with them Tell me clearly! If you come to Ming Dynasty, you will have thousands of treasures..."

Not only going to Japan, but also going to the West?

Wang Shouren finally knew the general direction of the two fleets.

But, whether it was a voyage to the West or a trip to Japan, what did it matter to him? Doesn’t His Majesty want me to go to the West or to Japan?
Wang Shouren was messy in the wind, and had a hint of ominous premonition. How could anyone be like this? It was fine before you were in jail, but in the blink of an eye you have made people unprepared to go to the West or Japan...

Such abruptness made Wang Shouren even more uneasy.

Win! Win! Win!
Ming Dynasty is victorious!

Zhu Houzhao finally finished speaking, and the soldiers on the ship and the soldiers on the shore began to cheer. This voice brought Wang Shouren back to reality again.

"Wang Shouren, His Majesty has called you."

Luo Xiang also came over, which is outrageous... isn't it? Wang Shouren's scalp was numb and his feet felt as if they were filled with lead. He no longer wanted to see Zhu Houzhao.

He was not prepared at all!
But he had no choice but to walk up to Zhu Houzhao numbly.

Zhu Houzhao was on the deck, the wind was strong, and there were several people surrounding him. Wang Shouren began to salute ten meters away.

"The guilty minister Wang Shouren, I have met your Majesty."

This time, Wang Shouren didn't even dare to look at Zhu Houzhao. Because, Zhu Houzhao's words can really determine his fate.

"It's so far away...get up."

"Wang Shouren, come closer and talk."

Wang Shouren stood up and quickly moved closer. This time, he took a peek and saw that Zhu Houzhao had amusement written on his face.

"The sinner Wang Shouren, please bow to Your Majesty!" He knelt down again.

"I told you, there is no need to be so polite." Zhu Houzhao's voice came: "Wang Shouren, please raise your head and let me take a good look at you. How are you doing in prison?"

Wang Shouren had no choice but to raise his head stiffly and meet Zhu Houzhao's gaze.

"Yeah, I've lost a little weight. How are you doing in prison? Have you figured out whether it's your head or your heart that's thinking about things?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at Wang Shouren in front of him. He looked simple and honest, and his body was quite strong. He shouldn't die, right?
"As far as your Majesty is concerned, the prison is not bad. Everyone is very friendly, and the criminal... also happened to have time to think through a few things."

Seemingly unable to escape, Wang Shouren tried to calm himself down and chose to face it calmly.

"Oh, what have you figured out?" Zhu Houzhao was curious about what interesting things this guy could say.

"I figured it out...how many hearts do people have?" Wang Shouren replied bravely.

"Huh? How many hearts do people have...Don't they only have one heart?"

Zhu Houzhao was decisively restrained, but this guy was still as clear-minded as ever.

Zhu Youqian, Huang Bao, Chen Qing, Lin Han and others next to Zhu Houzhao all had their mouths twitching. There was no doubt that they were once again deeply impressed by Wang Shouren.

The answer was as wild as ever.

"It is true that people only have one heart... But how do you look at it? What I am thinking of is... such as His Majesty's imperial heart, such as my father's stubborn heart, Mr. Li Ge's perseverance from the capital to Jinling... and The heart of flattery, the heart of evil, for example, the greed and luck of the inmates in the past few days..."

Wang Shouren replied bravely: "There is also the uneasiness of the last guilty minister."

woohoo...

Silent except for the sound of the wind.

As soon as Wang Shouren's answer came out, Zhu Houzhao was surprised. Zhu Youji, Lin Han and others were also restrained and stopped looking down on him.

This guy's answer is perfect! Very bold!

"Interesting! So, Wang Shouren, understand what's the use of all these worries?"

This guy is really getting more and more interesting. Zhu Houzhao has never seen such a leisurely and bold person. Only the emperor's mind can study these people's hearts.

"The guilty minister doesn't know yet, but the guilty minister knows...perhaps after understanding these inner thoughts, then doing things may have a different effect."

Wang Shouren answered bravely, not knowing where he got the courage to say these things to His Majesty.

"Haha, that's interesting."

"Well, Wang Shouren, you've said so, so have you guessed the reason why I asked you to come?"

Zhu Houzhao didn't mind at all, but wanted to tease him.

"Does Your Majesty want the guilty minister to... go to the Japanese country, or sail to the West?" Wang Shouren said anxiously.

Zhu Houzhao was even happier. This guy was not stubborn: "Haha! You guessed it right! You should remember that your Wang family still owes me 2,700 heads... I like to talk to smart people and give you a chance to atone for your sins." , and...you choose, go to Japan or go to the West? "

Zhu Youyi, Huang Bao, Lin Han and others twitched their mouths. Your Majesty is really as unpredictable as ever.

They wanted to see what Wang Shouren would choose.

"Your Majesty, with the 2,700 heads of our family, I am afraid that it would not be enough for the guilty minister... to go to Japan or go to the Western Seas alone. Therefore, the guilty minister wants to choose the Japanese country first, and then the Western Sea. The guilty minister wants to go to a country. After returning from Japan, Your Majesty can pardon my father and Mr. Han... and then go to the West."

Wang Shouren once again gave an unexpected answer.

Obviously, he has thought clearly. Instead of choosing one, he might as well take them all.

Naturally, he also knew here that the Japanese country was relatively close, and if he could come back early... he could first verify whether His Majesty kept his promise, otherwise, everything else would be empty talk.

"Haha! Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!"

"It's really good! I agree with your choice!"

"Now, I will pardon your guilt. You used to be the head of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War in Beijing. Now, you happen to be the head of the Military Selection Department of the Jinling Ministry of War, so you will continue to follow Chen Qing! In addition, I am making you the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army. Responsible for protecting Tang Bohu! You go to Japan first..."

Zhu Houzhao made arrangements for Wang Shouren on the spot.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Tang Bohu thanked him first. This time, he took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the Japanese country. He was responsible for finding the silver mines on the map for Zhu Houzhao, so he also accompanied him.

"I accept the order!" Wang Shouren glanced at Tang Bohu strangely and could only accept the order.

Without any precaution, he was really about to go to sea right after he was released from prison!
"Okay! That's almost it!"

"My farewell ends here!"

"I hope you can all complete the task perfectly!"

Zhu Houzhao then looked at Chen Qing and Qiu Ju.

Chen Qing was the minister of the Ministry of War, and he coordinated three thousand people to go to Japan this time. In addition, there are two Portuguese, Wang Shouren and Tang Bohu.

Qiu Ju was one of his Eight Tigers. Seeing that Liu Jin and Wei Bin were being used in important positions, he also volunteered to be a member of the Ming Dynasty broadcast team, accompanied by the Portuguese Fisher.

In short, it is all an attempt and a test.

"Yes! I will do my best to complete the mission!"

Under Zhu Houzhao's watchful eye, the two fleets set off from Jinling Pier in a mighty manner.

In these ten days, Zhu Houzhao basically completed most of his goals.

After seeing off this group of people, the time for the fifth chat also happened to come.

Zhu Houzhao rushed straight to the imperial mausoleum without stopping.

On the ship... Looking at Jinling in the distance, Wang Shouren felt even more complicated. He never expected that the journey from the prison cell to the Japanese country was so close.

"How about...Yang Ming, you're not used to it yet, you haven't reacted yet."

On the deck, Wang Shouren was tapped on the shoulder. He turned around and found that it was Tang Bohu.

"Brother Bohu... I didn't expect that after we parted ways in the capital, we... would be able to be together under such circumstances."

Wang Shouren naturally knew Tang Bohu. He was only two years younger than Tang Bohu and had similar experience in the imperial examinations. Both of them even failed several times.

Anyway, they were both taking the imperial examination in the capital, so they were in the same year and were old acquaintances.

This time he was caught off guard and went to sea when he came out of the cell, which made him completely unprepared. The only comfort in his heart now is that he still has Tang Bohu as his companion.

"Yes... the encounters in life are sometimes really hard to describe in words..."

Tang Bohu looked at Jinling going away and felt the same emotion. He didn't know if he could gain a future with his hard work.

"I can't figure it out, Brother Bohu... You're already working for His Majesty and you're just a scholar. Why do you want to go to Japan? Your Majesty also asked me to protect you..."

Wang Shouren looked at Tang Bohu strangely, and for a while he was unclear about Tang Bohu's position in the team.

"Maybe, I'm better at drawing. Your Majesty needs me to draw the map of Japan..."

Tang Bohu said half-jokingly, Wang Shouren looked at him: "Do you think I will believe it?"

"Haha, anyway, when we get to Japan... you just have to protect me the whole time. Follow me... and I will ensure your safety."

Tang Bohu smiled and said no more. Wang Shouren also knew what was going on and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he had some inexplicable expectations for the trip to Japan.
