Early morning.
Early in the morning when the sky was just getting dark.
The palace began to get busy.
Countless eunuchs and palace maids gathered in the direction of Xihuamen.
After going out from Xihua Gate, there is Xiyuan.
As early as a few months ago, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said that he would swim in the lake in the West Garden.
It’s June and it’s warm.
And the dragon boat built by the Ministry of Works has also been completed.
At this time, a dragon boat that was 100 meters long and like a giant ship was docked at the pier of Tailiu Pond.
The dragon boat, painted with a layer of gold paint, reflects the golden sheen under the sunlight.
At the head of the dragon boat there is also a huge dragon head carved from wood, and the dragon kiss is unusually open.
The stern is the shape of a dragon’s tail, with fine scales, each uniform in size, and the carvings are lifelike.
With the addition of gold paint, it looks just like the real thing.
The whole dragon boat is more than a hundred meters long.
It is about three stories high.
People stand below like ants.
Lu Yu looked at the dragon boat in front of him and marveled at the wisdom and labor ability of the deceased.
The shipbuilding technology of the Ming Dynasty was once the pinnacle of the world.
During the Zhu Di period, the ships built by the Ming Dynasty could even go overseas.
However, the Ming Dynasty has been going downhill.
After Zhu Di’s death, the shipbuilding drawings that had been able to build ocean-going giants disappeared one after another.
The Ming Dynasty also missed an opportunity to completely dominate the world.
There are rumors that.
The reason why the drawings of those giant ships that can go far away disappeared was not that they were lost, but that they were stolen and burned.
As for why it was stolen and burned.
There are many sayings.
During Zhu Di’s period, the biggest contradiction with the Jiangnan Shi clan was that Zhu Di single-handedly monopolized shipping.
All the routes of those Jiangnan Shi tribes to smuggle at sea were blocked, and the wealth of the Shi tribe was cut off.
Then let Zheng He go to the West and start trading in the name of the Ming Dynasty, collecting all the wealth into his own hands.
Otherwise, where would Zhu Di be so rich, and he has been fighting for years.
And during the Zhu Di period, those who opposed Zheng He’s going to the West were not because Zheng He’s going to the West cost a lot of money.
In fact, Zheng He’s harvest every time he goes to the West is huge.
Without exception, those who opposed Zheng He’s descent to the West were all Jiangnan Shi tribes.
And since the death of Zhu Di, from the change of Tumu Fort, the Ming Dynasty was not without shipping.
It’s just that they are all monopolized by the Jiangnan Shi clan.
But it was smuggling, and all the wealth obtained was put into the pockets of the Jiangnan Shi clan, and it had nothing to do with the imperial court.
In other words, Daming is not poor, only Daming is poor.
There was no silver in the treasury, but the homes of those clans and wealthy families were mountains of gold and silver.
This is also why after Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he could pinch out 80 million taels of silver with a splint.
Not to mention the huge wealth that the Tunguska people converged in the Jiangnan Shi clan after entering the customs.
“What to see?”
A voice suddenly sounded behind Lu Yu.
Looking back, Suiping Princess Zhu Huijing was standing behind her and looking at herself with a smile.
After a period of moisturizing, the girl has completely matured and has become more and more seductive.
Lu Yu smiled slightly, turned his head and glanced around.
“Why are you here too?”
Zhu Huijing smiled and said, “I knew that you were coming too, so I told the emperor’s brother to come together.”
“Oh, my sister is here too.”
Zhu Huijing said and stretched out her finger in a direction not far away.
Lu Yu looked.
Wearing a white skirt and a five-point resemblance to Zhu Huijing, Zhu Huiyan just stepped down from the carriage.
Fell to the ground with the help of two palace maidens.
“Your sister and you really look alike, haha.”
Lu Yu smiled.
As if remembering something, Zhu Huijing immediately blushed.
“Don’t let you think about it, that day… What did you see that day.”
Zhu Huijing’s face was a little red.
Zhu Huijing is talking about the night Qi Zanyuan died.
Lu Yu smiled: “I saw everything that should have been seen, and I have seen everything that should not be seen.”
“You… I’ll hit you.”
Zhu Huijing raised her fist coquettishly to land on Lu Yu’s body.
But there are too many people around, and such an intimate act is not good if people see it.
So Zhu Huijing closed her hand.
“My sister didn’t know you were there that night, and when my sister left, I found out that you were gone.
“You bad guy… You…… You have me, how can you still look at my sister.”
Zhu Huijing lowered her head.
Lu Yu smiled.
This is a sister flower, who is not hungry.
“Well, kidding you, I didn’t see anything.”
“There are many people here, don’t let others see it, you go and play.”
Lu Yu said to Zhu Huijing.
Originally, Lu Yu did not plan to let Zhu Huijing on board.
Because this dragon ship has cats on it, if nothing else, it will definitely sink.
But if you say it to Zhu Huijing now, if the dragon ship really sank afterwards, then there was no explanation.
The sinking of the dragon ship on which the Emperor of the Apocalypse was riding was no small matter.
At that time, it will inevitably cause an abnormal unprecedented chaos.
So Lu Yu should deal with it carefully.
It’s a big deal to wait for the dragon ship to sink, just save Zhu Huijing in advance.
Just as Lu Yu was thinking.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse had already begun to board the ship surrounded by a group of eunuchs and palace maidens.
Next to her is the Holy Lady Guest Seal Moon.
Keyin Yue waved at Lu Yue.
Lu Yu followed suit.
Just stepped onto the boarding splint.
Lu Yu felt a gaze that fell on him.
Turn your head and look.
It was none other than Empress Zhang Yan.
Today’s Zhang Yan is wearing a set of golden phoenix robes, which complement the golden dragon robe of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and is extremely graceful and luxurious.
It stands to reason that Zhang Yan should go side by side with the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
Keyin Yue occupies the side of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, so Hakka Yin Yue is one step behind.
Lu Yu followed behind Keyin Yue and became a walker with Zhang Yan.
Seeing Zhang Yan’s gaze.
Lu Yu bowed slightly and saluted: “., I have seen the queen mother-in-law.”
After saluting, Lu Yu found that Zhang Yan was looking at him with a strange look.
Lu Yu was puzzled.
“Could it be that Zhang Yan found something?”
But after thinking about it, Lu Yu shook his head again.
Probably not, I used the Super Transfiguration Technique that night.
Just when Lu Yu was puzzled, Zhang Yan spoke.
“Motogu saw you before?”
ZHANG Yandao.
Lu Yu was stunned.
Then quickly nodded.
“If you return to the queen’s mother-in-law, I have seen it.”
“The night of Princess Suiping’s birthday.”
Lu Yu said.
Zhang Yan immediately frowned.
“At that time, the slave was standing behind the Holy Lady, not far from the queen mother-in-law.”
Lu Yu quickly explained.
After all, the heart is weak, what if Wan Zhang Yan really sees something?
Hearing Lu Yu’s words, Zhang Yan’s eyebrows stretched slightly.
Then, without saying a word, he followed the Emperor of the Apocalypse directly onto the dragon ship.
In addition to the accompanying palace eunuchs, there were also hundreds of Yu Lin Wei who were armed with swords, and they also boarded the dragon ship to protect the safety of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
Although this is the imperial palace, the safety of the emperor must be foolproof.
In addition to Yu Lin Wei, Lu Yu also saw a large number of Jing Army.
and Wei Zhongxian, who was dressed in a white robe and surrounded by more than a dozen eunuchs.
“Anchor~”
“Open the boat~”
Under a shout.
The dragon boat began to anchor and then slowly sailed away from the dock.
