In the heavy rain, the quaint building complex of Annan Governor's Mansion became hazy, and the accumulated water on the bricks and floors began to flow to all sides.Chen Xianzhen, who was holding a green umbrella, had her shoes soaked.
Chen Xianzhen looked at the gate in front and couldn't help but stand there.She stood in the noisy rain for a while before she stepped out toward the door in the distance.
On the small bench in the doorman, there were people from the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei, which is said to be called the seating record.In addition to the military generals under Zhang Fu, there should be many civil officials in the yard.
Stop, what are you doing? The guard said something.
Chen Xianzhen immediately started yelling, and excitedly claimed her name, and mentioned Empress Dowager Chen and others.
The guards didn't allow her to go in, but they immediately asked someone to run in and inform.After a while, some military generals and civil officials came to the gatehouse and listened to Chen Xianzhen crying there.
At this time, a general hurriedly walked out and said: Mrs. Chen, please be careful, please go inside and talk slowly.
Chen Xianzhen said: Are you the Queen Mother Chen’s person and want to harm me?
The general hurriedly said: You can't talk nonsense. This is the Annan Governor's Office. Please meet the person Zhang Dashen, the Marquis of Xincheng. Don't worry.I'm yelling here and I'm going to be laughed at.
Chen Xianzhen followed him in as he spoke, and went from a corridor on the side of the yard to a large room directly north.
A burly man in his thirties was standing in the middle of the house. He was wearing a beam and a red robe. He was a high-ranking official, and he should be Zhang Fu.
Zhang Fu looked at Chen Xianzhen and asked: Are you the official envoy Chen Xianzhen who was originally sent to the Ming Dynasty?
Chen Xianzhen didn't have time to answer, and there was a shorter civil servant next to her and said: It's indeed Chen Xianzhen, the official has seen her.
She looked in the sound and felt that the civil servant looked familiar, but she couldn't remember the name for a moment.
After hearing this, Zhang Fu asked again: Why is it noisy?
Chen Xianzhen said in grief and anger: I just want to write a letter to Emperor Ming to let him know what I had experienced after returning to Annan!Since the Chen family has restored the King of Annan Kingdom and our family is a royal family, why is it not recognized by the government?
Zhang Fu said: Don’t worry, just talk slowly.Someone came, give Mrs. Chen a cup of hot tea.
She started crying when she said this, and she didn't know whether it was tears or rain on her face. The Qinghua government took away our fields and houses, and snatched all our property, let alone give us salary.I had already seen through the world and just wanted to find a temple of divine peace and practice seclusion and go home to get some money and property. I realized this. Now I can't even think about it.
Zhang Fu said kindly: You must have the power to live in seclusion.
He spoke very kindly, but it was obvious that he didn't care at all about the life or death of Chen Xianzhen's family.
Chen Xianzhen continued: I wrote a memorial to go to the capital, and asked my brother to try to send it to the capital to inform the emperor of this. Unexpectedly, the memorials were detained by the people of Queen Mother Shenglong, and Queen Mother Chen also sent someone to secretly chase me. What sin do I have? I was really desperate and found the Governor's Office and wanted to ask the Ming officials to help us so that our memorial could be sent to the capital.
I will understand what's going on.Zhang Fudao, if you do this, you can stay here first, it is very safe.This matter will be properly handled.
Without saying a word, Zhang Fu immediately ordered: Come, find a gallery house for Mrs. Chen to settle down.
...After Chen Xianzhen left the lobby, Hou Hai, the civil servant next to him, said: How can such a small matter be alarmed by the court?The Marquis of Xincheng asked someone to say something to Empress Dowager Chen and comforted Chen Xianzhen's family.
Zhang Fu said: The Governor's Office has a great influence on the Chen royal family. Once we talk about it, it will definitely affect the governance of Queen Mother Chen.We are too lazy to care about their own affairs, so we simply send Chen Xianzhen back to our hometown and ask the local Annan officials to take good care of it, so that she can't let her come out to cause trouble again.
This is not possible.Hou Hai walked up and said in a deep voice, Chen Xianzhen had lived in the palace for a long time, maybe with the emperor...
Zhang Fu was slightly surprised and said: Is there anything wrong?
Hou Haidao: The Marquis of Xincheng may not know, but the official understands it.
Zhang Fu asked: Then why did she return to Annan Kingdom?
Hou Hai replied: The official did not know the inside story. I am afraid that only the eunuchs in the palace knew about it, such as Cao Fu.But there is nothing strange. During the Yongle period, I went to conquer the Hu family of Annan. I got close to several Annan girls, but finally forgot about it.
Zhang Fu nodded.
Hou Hai pondered: The emperor is very talented and has issued an order to prohibit the collection of beauties and jewelry in Annan Kingdom, but Chen Xianzhen should not be considered a beauty who collected the beauties.
Zhang Fu did not comment and stopped talking about this matter.
As the hour of You approaches, the rain has stopped and a sunset appears in the sky.Zhang Fu left the lobby, asked where Chen Xianzhen was, and walked over there.
I saw Chen Xian really writing hard on the side of the desk, as if he was writing a memorial.
She turned to see Zhang Fu, and stood up and bowed her knees in a regular manner.
Seeing that she was well-educated, Zhang Fu nodded quietly when he saw her appearance.
Zhang Fu asked in a casual tone: I heard that Mrs. Chen has lived in the capital for a long time. Isn’t it good in the capital? Why did he go back to Qinghua?
Chen Xianzhen immediately said angrily: Is it not that Queen Mother Chen’s slander!
oh?Zhang Fu said.
Chen Xianzhen said: There are many concubines in the palace of the Ming Dynasty. Empress Dowager Chen is not jealous and insists on being unable to get along with me.She will blow the wind beside her pillow when she has the chance...
Zhang Fu looked embarrassed because from the official statement, the relationship between Empress Dowager Chen and Zhu Gaoxu was very innocent because her son was the legitimate heir of Annan Chen Dynasty and was protected by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.
Chen Xianzhen said aggrievedly: Which one is worse than her?It's not like she's even married.Perhaps because Empress Chen was particularly good at flattering and pleasing, the emperor was confused by her and wanted to support her son as the king.The emperor couldn't bear to leave me. If it weren't for Queen Mother Chen's repeated slander, the emperor wouldn't have sent me back or suffered all the hardships.
Zhang Fu nodded, thinking that the emperor seemed to be that kind of person, but it was not because of Empress Chen's beauty.
Chen Xianzhen said again: I have said good things to the general in the memorial, so please help me and let the memorial be sent to the capital.Queen Mother Chen has been resentful until now, and she really doesn't want to give us a way out.
Zhang Fu did not agree and asked again: Who else is there in your family?
Chen Xianzhen said: I am a real Chen Dynasty royal family. If the general does not believe it, please send someone to investigate.First, my parents passed away, and there was also a eldest brother, nephew and other relatives. We used to live in Shenglong, but later went to Qinghua, and have been in Qinghua until now.However, now all the houses and mansions have been robbed.
Zhang Fu nodded: The Governor's Office is completely different from the royal family of Annan. In name, the Governor's Office is also subordinate to the royal family.Therefore, I will not be able to deal with the affairs of Annan and whether you are allowed to submit a memorial.But you can go to the capital in person. Our people will introduce you to the eunuchs in the palace, and the eunuchs will deal with this matter.
Chen Xianzhen shook her head and said: There is an eunuch Cao Fu who has been bribed by Empress Dowager Chen.I don’t want to go to the capital, I just want the Ming Dynasty court to give our family justice.
Zhang Fu advised with kind words: I cannot put pressure on the Annan royal family in the name of the Ming Dynasty. If you don’t go, I will be unable to help you.
He said again: After a while, the left garrison envoy of the Northern Department of the Guardian Department may return to Beijing, and you and their team will enter Beijing.If Hou Zuoshi did not leave, Wang Jinghong's fleet voyage to the West should have come back within this year. When they pass through the sea of Annan Kingdom, you can go to Beijing by sea.
……
At the beginning of the next month, Hou Hai indeed set off to return to Beijing to report his work.
However, at this time, Wang Jinghong's fleet was also on his way back.
When they went on their way, they had already sent the envoys from all over the country who came to Beijing during the Yongle period back to their original place, and enthroned the Han people of Shi Jinqing as the old port Xuanfu envoy, commanding the Han people who were exploring gold there and some people from the Three Buddhas.
Then the fleet continued to explore the strait near Adan (the Gulf of Aden in the Arabian Sea, near the Red Sea), and searched towns and markets to trade, selling silk, porcelain, cloud brocade, Shu brocade, ruby jewelry, various traditional Chinese herbal medicines and other precious products. They also obtained rare animals such as long-necked kirin beast (giraffe), lions, long-willed horses, peacocks, black bears, and some rare plants.
Having completed the mission of sending the envoys of the country and enthroned Shi Jinqing, Wang Jinghong ordered the fleet to return to do the third mission: to collect 60,000 taels of gold from the king's promised compensation from Java.
Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the sea in the north of Java, they found that this matter was not that easy at all.
On Wang Jinghong's ship, several black Javanese came.
The Javanese were quite polite. When they arrived on the deck, they pressed their hands on their chests and bowed to Wang Jinghong. It seemed that before the Ming fleet came here to move, the Hui and Hui Sect in Persia had also come here.
Wang Jinghong also got up and bowed with his fists. He heard them silly for a while, and he couldn't understand at all.
Wang Jinghong and others knew nothing about Java's words and did not understand words. Fortunately, the Sanfoqi people under Shi Jinqing fought with Java and understood some Java language, so they followed the ship as a translator.
The messenger in front of him seemed to have a translator, but he didn't say anything.The Sanfoqi people were not very proficient in Javanese and Chinese, so they could only simply translate the general meaning: They came to negotiate.
Wang Jinghong said: Didn’t the agreement be made a few years ago?
The Sanfoqi people's translator gestured with the Java people, and the translator said: Can they only give 20,000?
Wang Jinghong frowned and said: Do your subordinates want to be corrupt?
After a while, the translator said: They said they were the king's messenger and had a token.
Wang Jinghong whispered to the generals around him and the generals of the Jinyiwei for a while, and Wang Jinghong said coldly: The Eastern King of Java, who lives in the old port, is willing to give 60,000 taels and will also subsidize the military expenditure of the Ming army.
The dark-skinned people on both sides talked for a while.The translation said: The king does not have that much gold, nor does the Eastern King, and the Eastern King deceives you.
Wang Jinghong said angrily: The thing the King of Java promising on the memorial was written in black and white. Why did he go back on his word?
After waiting for a while, the translator said: They are going back to report to the king.
Wang Jinghong said angrily: Tell these envoys that they must give a reply within three days.see a visitor out!
Chen Xianzhen looked at the gate in front and couldn't help but stand there.She stood in the noisy rain for a while before she stepped out toward the door in the distance.
On the small bench in the doorman, there were people from the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei, which is said to be called the seating record.In addition to the military generals under Zhang Fu, there should be many civil officials in the yard.
