Wang Yuling followed beside him and took good care of him.

There were several horse-drawn carriages parked next to the pier, and several Xuanwu Lang who had returned with the ship were standing on both sides of the road with their bodies hunched over.

"Ah! We are finally home!"

Yutong sat up with the help of his hands on the stretcher, looking at the scenery around him, feeling endless emotion in his heart.

But suddenly, he saw a white dragon approaching from afar.

Then, the rumbling sound of the bull cart was heard.

At first he didn't take it too seriously, thinking that the Ministry of Works came to transport wood. However, when the bull cart stopped near the dock and Zhu Youxiao walked out of it, Yutong was completely stunned.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty......."

"Quick! Help us get down!"

"Bring us a crutch..."

He never dreamed that Zhu Youxiao would come to Tianjin!

The Emperor...

Could it be that he is here to pick us up?

If it is true, then there is probably no one else in the entire Ming Dynasty who can afford such an honor!

"Stop talking and just lie down!"

Before the crutches were brought back, Zhu Youxiao had already approached. Seeing Youtong's anxious expression, he spoke to comfort him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration!"

Upon hearing this, Yutong's eyes turned red and he almost cried out loud.

"Okay, stop acting like a little girl. How is the injury on your leg?" Zhu Youxiao said, reaching out to lift the blanket covering his legs.

Under the blanket, Youtong's leg was wrapped like a dumpling, and there was no visible injury at all.

Wang Yuling led the others to bow, then stepped forward and spoke.

"Your Majesty, I have already helped Captain Yu with his bones, but judging from his current recovery, it will take at least two months before he can get out of bed."

After hearing this, Youtong could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

"Your Majesty, this servant is useless!"

"During this period of time, I am afraid that I will not be able to accompany you and listen to your teachings..."

"Hold it back for me!"

"A third-rank Xuanwu Commander cries at every turn. What a disgrace!"

Zhu Youxiao shouted with a look of feigned anger.

"I have sent someone to Liaodong to pick up Niu Yiling. During this time, you should rest well and be quiet!"

"When you are completely well, I have another task for you to do."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yutong was lying on the stretcher, unable to stop crying.

Zhu Youxiao didn't want to see him like this anymore, so he turned his head and looked away.

Just at this time, a team of Jinyiwei escorted Emperor Go-Mizunoo, Konoe Maeko and other female relatives down from the treasure ship.

When the Jinyiwei saw Zhu Youxiao, they were stunned for a moment. After saluting, they kicked Emperor Go-Mizunoo in the knee.

"The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has arrived. Why don't you kneel down quickly?"

Emperor Go-Mizunoo was completely confused and did not understand what he said at all. Although he knelt down uncontrollably, he still asked a question subconsciously.

"Nani?"

"As the Emperor of Japan, you don't even know the language of the Ming Dynasty. You are really unqualified as an Emperor."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Hou Shuiwei with disdain and shook his head.

"Send them to the Ministry of Rites and hand them over to Meng Shaoyu, who will teach them well for me. I will see him again when they can speak our official language fluently!"

"Yes!"

After hearing this, Jinyiwei Shuiwei walked towards the carriage next to him, but his female relatives were stopped by Zhu Youxiao.

There were more than a dozen women in this group, and their hair was already gray due to their old age. They were none other than Gomizuo's mother, Konoe Maeko.

The younger one looked only four or five years old.

Among them are Gomizuo’s wife Tokugawa Kazuko and his daughter Umemiya.

The youngest girl, who was only four or five years old, was the seventh female emperor in Japanese history, Okiko, and the youngest daughter of Emperor Mizuo.

These women huddled together because of nervousness.

Zhu Youxiao stroked his chin, his eyes constantly looking at these women.

By the way, although there is a big age gap between them, after all, they are three generations of a family, but their figures are really not bad!

Where there should be fat, there is fat everywhere.

The places where they should be thin are still plump.

It's very exciting!

What a pity......

It's a pity that I don't have Boss Cao's hobbies...

Konoe Maeko is too big.

Tokugawa Kazuko looks to be in her thirties.

Only the two daughters of Hou Shuiwei can be trained.

After thinking for a moment, he waved to the Jinyiwei.

"Send them to the Ministry of Rites as well and take good care of them. Don't neglect them."

"As for the two little ones, send them to Hong En Academy!"

"Yes!"

The Jinyiwei did as they were told, forced the family of four onto the carriage, and headed for the capital first.

After explaining all this, Zhu Youxiao waved towards the fire bull cart.

But then Concubine Liang came over pushing a wheelchair.

That style is much more majestic than the one that Zhuge Liang sat on in movies and TV dramas.

After receiving the news, Zhu Youxiao specially asked the Ministry of Works to tailor it according to Youtong's body shape.

Seeing the wheelchair, Youtong cried even harder and reached out to grab Zhu Youxiao's sleeve.

"Your Majesty has been so kind to me that I cannot repay you even in my three lifetimes..."

Zhu Youxiao pulled back his sleeves, pointed at him with disgust and shouted, "Stop crying! If you keep crying here, I'll kick you into the sea!"

Yutong quickly stopped talking and, with tears in her eyes, she sat on the wheelchair with the help of the people around her.

"Don't rush back to the palace yet. Come with me to the shipyard to take a look."

"I obey your order..."

So, more than ten minutes later, the craftsmen in the shipyard saw a strange scene.

The emperor was walking on his two legs in front, but a eunuch was sitting in a wheelchair and being pushed behind!

This picture is simply unbelievable...

"Your Majesty, I am sorry that I failed to welcome you from afar. I have forgotten your Majesty's forgiveness!"

Huang Gouzi, Ximen Cang and other foremen rushed over upon hearing the news and stood on both sides of the road bowing to salute.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand at them and said, "No need to be polite. Just go and do what you need to do. Just leave two people to accompany me around."

After dispersing the craftsmen, Zhu Youxiao said to Huang Gouzi.

"I heard that the Ministry of Industry has developed a new shipbuilding technology. Has it been used here?"

Huang Gouzi nodded quickly: "Your Majesty, it has been used!"

"The first ship built using the new technology is almost finished. I will take you there."

The four large docks of Tianjin Shipyard housed the treasure ships that were still under construction, and outside the large docks, more than a dozen small docks were built at some point in time.

In one of the shipyards, craftsmen were busy, doing the final work.

When Zhu Youxiao saw the boat that Huang Gouzi mentioned, his eyes widened subconsciously.

To be honest, this ship can't be compared with the treasure ship!

The ship is only about 60 meters long and less than 20 meters wide, with only four floors. There are only about 20 cabins visible from the outside.

But these are not the point!

The point is that this boat is no longer made entirely of wood.

Instead, it uses the iron-clad wood technology!

In the sunlight, the metallic luster of the ship gives people an invisible sense of oppression when viewed from a distance.

So domineering!
