"Where is the red-haired monster? Let me show it!"

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile,

"Wait a minute, I have someone to pass it on."

Not long after, Wei Wu came with Ferrancis. This foreigner had never met the emperor before, and he did not know how to kneel down to worship. He stood behind Wei Wu, looking around with his blue eyes, amazed at the various luxurious and wealthy arrangements in the dragon boat. Liu Jin hurriedly shouted,

"Bold barbarians, don't kneel down when they see my emperor!"

Francis was confused for a while and realized what the eunuch with a sharp voice was calling. He glanced at Wei Wu at a loss. Wei Wu said quickly,

"Your Majesty, this foreigner is a barbarian who is not civilized when he sees this. I am afraid that there is no emperor in them. I think he must be ignorant. Please forgive him for his crime of losing his etiquette!"

Zhu Houzhao's eyes were already attracted by this person's strange appearance, and waved his hand when he heard this.

"It's okay! I don't blame him!"

The man came down here in person to circle around the red-haired monster, looking up and down, and reaching out to pull his curly hair that was spread to his shoulders.

"Is this true or false?"

Wei Wu smiled,

"It's true! I have also pulled one in front of me. Except for the different colors, it is no different from us!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded and looked at the red hair that was inch long on the back of the red hair monster's hand in surprise.

"How come the back of this hand is so hairy, it's indeed an uncivilized barbarian!"

Then he asked Wei Wu with a smile,

"Where did you find him?"

Wei Wu talked about how he met this red-haired beggar in that small town. Zhu Houzhao laughed and said,

"If I had known, I would have followed him to the ashore and I might have picked up a red-haired monster!"

Now, I am talking about Weiwu Taoism,

"You ask him what his name is, where did he come from, and what did he do?"

Wei Wu asked Frances again, and Frances talked about how he came from Daqing, what is his identity, and why did he come from thousands of miles to come?

"Oh...what teaching did you teach?"

Zhu Houzhao asked excitedly. When talking about his career, Francis finally had a little more spirit in his eyes, and said hurriedly,

"Dear Sir, I am a believer of God. God has suffered for the world, but he loves everyone..."

As he spoke, he reached his hand to his neck and took care of Zhu Hou with a silver chain that had been with him. All of Francis' belongings were lost in the sea, and only this silver chain was carried with him.

Zhu Houzhao was about to come over to see, but Liu Jin hurriedly rushed over and pulled off the silver chain.

"Your Majesty, the barbarians do not understand ethics, so they cannot collide with your Majesty!"

The two hands gave the silver chain to Zhu Hou to take care of. Zhu Houzhou looked at it and said, "

"The workmanship of this chain is really vulgar, but the pattern above is novel!"

After saying that, waved his hand,

"Give it back to him!"

Liu Jin returned the thing to Frances. Seeing that he had put it back with great care, Zhu Houzhao sighed,

"It seems...their place should be very poor, and a chain like this is considered a treasure!"

If such things were placed in the Daqing Dynasty, they could only be sold in roadside stalls on Fuqingxia Street.

Wei Wu smiled,

"These barbarians are all over their bodies and have a natural smell. They are like monkeys who have become eloquent and learn to walk down the ground. What good things can they have!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said,

"It's a pitiful!"

He said with a wave of his hand,

"Liu Jin gives this red-haired monster some clothes and cloth, and it's a guest from afar, so we can't lose our etiquette!"

"……yes!"

After giving the gift here, Wei Wu wanted to take the people down, but heard someone coughing behind the screen.

"uh-huh……"

Zhu Houzhao called Liu Jin,

"Go in and ask the Queen what she has to say?"

"yes!"

Liu Jin turned in, but soon he turned out again, but he looked weird.

"Your Majesty, the Empress said that the journey was boring. She wanted to leave this red-haired monster on our boat. Listen to him when there is nothing to do, so it would be easy to relieve her boredom!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded after hearing this,

"That is, the queen just wants to relieve her, so she will keep the person!"

"yes!"

Here a little eunuch came over to take Francis down. But the red-haired monster refused to leave, so he looked at Wei Wu.

"Sir, am I not your servant?"

As soon as he said this, everyone laughed, Zhu Houzhao said,

"Hey! This barbarian still knows loyalty..."

Smiling,

"Don't worry, it's just that you can talk along the way to relieve your boredom. When you arrive in the capital, you will let you go back to follow Wei Wu!"

Then Francis heard that he was not selling him, so he felt relieved and followed the eunuch obediently. When he arrived at his residence, he saw the clothes and a few pieces of cloth on the bed, and immediately threw his nervousness out of the sky, pounced on the smooth and exquisite brocade, and rubbed his face with his face.

"Oh my God! Praise my Lord! My merciful Lord! You really did not abandon me, and let me suffer for two years, but I saw this gorgeous moving palace, which is smooth like a cloth in the skin of a baby, and praise my Lord..."

This room I murmured in the cabin, which made the two little eunuchs guarding outside laugh.

"What does this red-haired monster say, chubby gurgling like a bird's chirping..."

During the journey that followed, the emperor and the empress summoned Francis to talk to him when they were nothing. This barbaric red-haired monster was a capable person. Although he could speak Chinese dialect when he first boarded the boat, he stuttered and stumbling. He couldn't tell a complete sentence for a while. He stayed for seven or eight days and spoke too much, and gradually became fluent.

Xiaomei Xia said in surprise,

"Isn't it said that the barbarians are not yet civilized? How can they learn to speak so quickly?"

Han Qi smiled,

"We say they are barbarians, mostly because of their hair color and their eyes, and their bodies are covered with hair. However, as I see him, his mind is very flexible. I think I have been in Daqing for two or three years and have learned a lot of Chinese dialect. However, because I have been begging along the street before, no one talks to him, and there are no practices. Now there are more people talking to him, so naturally I become more and more fluent in speaking!"

Han Qi was right. When the dragon boat arrived in Cangzhou, Francis's Middle-earth dialect was already very fluent, and the eunuchs learned various rules, and their behavior and speech gradually became similar.

When everyone had nothing to do, they heard him talk about the characters from far away to the West and how they came here thousands of miles away. When Zhu Houzhao heard that they were on a big boat to Daqing, he remembered the seven voyages to the West during the reign of Emperor Taizong, and sighed to Wei Wu,

"It seems that there is indeed a heaven beyond the sky, and there are people beyond the human beings! It turns out that there are indeed different countries across the vast ocean. I remember that there is a navigation map left by Emperor Taizong in the palace. When you go back, you can find it out!"

Wei Wu nodded,

"I used to be rare. I only saw that there were only people with black hair and black eyes between heaven and earth, but there were different people on the other side of the sea!"

Han Qi smiled at Wei Wu when she heard this,

"This is really ignorant. I read the book that Zheng He also brought back Qilin auspicious beasts and the island natives with dark and red skin!"

Everyone was amazed when they heard this, and Zhu Houzhao smiled,

"When I have free time in the future, I will build a big ship to see what those people look like?"

Sister Xia applauded,

"If your Majesty wants to go, you must bring me with you!"

Han Qi smiled and said in her heart,

"The three eunuchs who guaranteed the three eunuchs could voyage to the West seven times, because the country was strong during the reign of Emperor Taizong and could build a sea ship that was 44 meters long and 18 meters wide, so they could only voyage to the West seven times. Now our country is not able to do well and the people's livelihood is difficult. The remaining money from there to build a ship and go to sea, and your Majesty can only think about this idea!"

After Zheng He voyages to the West for seven years, in the eighth year of Xuande, court officials stopped sailing from the ocean on the grounds that it was too much to damage national strength. Later, Liu Daxia, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, hid Zheng He's documents on the grounds of being exhausted by the people and hurting money, and then burned the sea charts, shipbuilding drawings, etc. privately.

Liu Daxia's actions made it impossible for people in later generations to know the grand occasion of his voyage to the West that day, but he was extremely supportive of all officials in the court. Until now, there are people in the court who are following the precepts of Taizu and not allowed to go into the sea. They all feel that they build ships and go to sea, and work hard to expeditions, killing and injuring countless soldiers and civilians. Although they can promote the power of our heavenly dynasty, it is really not worth the loss and is a useless act. Now, His Majesty wants to restore the glory of Taizong again!

Zhu Houzhao was just talking casually at this time, so naturally he would not think about going in the future. He just treated Francis as a strange thing. When he had nothing to do, he summoned him to listen to him. After a few days, he saw that he was about to come to Tianjin to guard. Then he remembered his thunder thunder in the box, and immediately ordered Liu Jin to take it.

Liu Jin carefully took a wooden box, opened it and saw that the black gunpowder ball appeared in front of him. Zhu Houzhao reached out to get it, which scared Liu Jin to scream.

"Oh! My master! This thing is a life-threatening thing, please be careful!"

Zhu Houzhao didn't care.

"When I was capturing King Ning in front of me, I saw this thing falling around, but I didn't see it explode!"

As he said that, he raised his hand and threw it twice in the air. Liu Jin was so scared that his face turned pale. Francis, who had been standing beside him, spoke at this time.
