Chapter 126 The Seven Truths
Li Dacheng was concerned about Zheng He's seventh voyage to the West, not because he spent 100 million taels of silver. This matter has nothing to do with whether he can earn money from Zheng He, but mainly because of Du Jiuniang , If you find it, you will die, it's too frustrating.

Although he knows that the other party is a person from hundreds of years ago, and has already turned into the dust of history, it is one thing to read the textbook, but it is another thing to happen around him. After all, he is also a WeChat friend, and it is fate if he can find it , Die as soon as he comes up, isn't this playing with his feelings?
"The next step is on the way to the ocean, passing through Mount Ceylon, making a short stop for supplies, and the next stop is Guli Kingdom." Zheng He replied truthfully.Talking to God, there is nothing to hide. To be honest, maybe you can still get God's protection, and it will be smooth sailing.

"So you haven't returned yet?"

"Yes."

It's on the way to the west, so that's fine.Li Dacheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it, and his heart that had been hanging was finally relieved.

Although according to historical calculations, there is not much time left for Zheng He, but it is better than dying as soon as he becomes a friend. If there is another one, Li Dacheng will start to doubt his life and whether he is the lone star of the devil.The image of God that was finally built up on Li Lianying, He Shen, and Nalan Mingzhu disappeared.

"Zheng He, I wonder what your purpose is for your voyage this time?" Li Dacheng asked curiously.

When I was in school in my early years, Li Dacheng’s history text said that Zheng He’s voyages to the West were to promote the Ming Dynasty’s national prestige, expand Ming Dynasty’s trade, and strengthen the ties between countries. However, Zheng He had already made seven voyages to the West. At the age of 60 and in poor health, how can it be unconvincing if this purpose is used for the seventh time.

"The emperor sent veterans to other countries to increase the connection between countries." Zheng He replied with his head bowed.

Li Dacheng frowned, why did the answer sound so familiar?It seems that we can often hear similar words from the mouth of a certain spokesperson on TV.This old man is still speaking in an official style.

"Zheng He, you can fool others, but you can't fool me. Do you think I don't know the purpose of your voyage this time? Hmph! Have you forgotten? I am God." Li Dacheng said.As expected of a diplomat, what he said is so righteous, but the diplomatic rhetoric is not easy for him. If you want to talk about it, he can say better than Zheng He, such as "in order to achieve good neighborliness and friendship" and "common development and peaceful coexistence". Like, every night at seven o'clock, turn on a TV channel at random, it's all these words.But that wasn't what he wanted to hear.

Zheng He was slightly taken aback when he heard what God said, a test?God is testing yourself?Thinking of what the emperor said to him before leaving, and repeatedly asking not to tell others, Zheng He felt a little uncertain.

"Zheng He, you have spent a lot of money on your seven voyages, don't you think? The voices of the court accusing you of wasting money and food on your voyages have never stopped from your first voyage to the present. Ten years later, the emperor allowed you to continue to sail to the west, just for the sake of envoys and friendship with neighbors? Then why did you send such a large fleet with elite soldiers and generals? What is it like to be an envoy? fight."

What Li Dacheng said to Zheng He was actually what he wanted to tell the history teacher back then, but the history teacher couldn't answer his question at all. Today, he was able to chat with the Lord, of course he would not miss such a rare opportunity.Only by knowing the true purpose of Zheng He's seventh voyage to the West can he take this opportunity and make a fortune.

That's right!

Traveling to the West will pass through many countries along the way, and trade is inevitable. For Li Dacheng, this is a great opportunity.

Zheng He is different from his former friends. If Li Dacheng asks the other party to confess, he will not say it. After all, the other party is not the same kind of person as eunuchs like Li Lianying and Liu Jin. But He couldn't be cruel. After all, from today's point of view, Zheng He is a great navigator in China.Therefore, he pinned all his hopes of making money on trade, just like Li Lianying, asking Zheng He to help sell things.

After Zheng He listened to God's words, he was stunned for a moment. Everything God said made sense. In fact, if he hadn't visited various countries before and had contacts with the leaders of all countries, others would have thought that he wanted to to fight.

"Zheng He, are you still going to tell me? I just took a look at your fate. This trip to the West has been extremely difficult and dangerous. Your lifespan is running out, at most two years. If you follow the previous six times Let’s do the math, I’m afraid you won’t be able to hold on to the return of the fleet this time.” Li Dacheng’s words are not bragging or scaring people. In history, Zheng He’s seventh voyage to the West began in [-], and later in [-]. In [-], he died of fatigue and other diseases.

"What? Two years?" Zheng He's body trembled violently, and he was completely dumbfounded.You must know that he was going to the West this time, but he shouldered the emperor's order. If he couldn't come back, wouldn't he have failed the emperor's trust and entrustment?You know, it's only been a short time since I went to sea. If there are some accidents along the way, two years may not be enough.

"Zheng He, the intention of my conversation with you this time is to save your life, so I deliberately tested you, but who knows that you have concealed something from me. Let me bless you." Li Dacheng said.

"God, don't go, just tell me." Zheng He hastened to stay, and said to the dark sky, "The emperor ordered me to go to the West for the seventh time. In addition to the mission of envoys to various countries, I also asked me to collect rare birds from all over the world." Strange beasts, and..."

"And what?" Li Dacheng asked.

"Beauty."

Li Dacheng was a little disappointed when he heard it. The reason was very simple. If he was the emperor and sent his men to various countries, he would definitely bring back the local beauties. This is also a local specialty, so there is nothing unusual about it.What's more, in China's thousands of years of history, even if Emperor Zhengde wasn't the most playful emperor, he would definitely rank among the top ten. The 'Leopard Room' he built is the best proof.

"Is that all? Zheng He, don't try to hide anything from me. As long as I search carefully, nothing in the world can be hidden from me." Li Dacheng said pretendingly, this time he was really bragging.

"God, what I say is true, if you tell lies, heaven and earth will perish." Zheng He said seriously, and swore to heaven.

Seeing Zheng He's oath, Li Dacheng believed the other party's words, but Emperor Zhengde sent Zheng He to the Western Ocean for the seventh time just to collect beautiful women. Wasn't it too hasty?One must know that a voyage will take several years and consume countless silver, even if you know how to play and have money, it is not worth doing it, right?

"It costs so much manpower, material and financial resources just to collect beautiful women. Isn't the emperor afraid of opposition from the ministers in this way?"

"So the emperor just told the next person in private, and no second person knew about it. On the surface, it was still for the minister to visit various countries and increase the connection between countries."

Li Dacheng shook his head when he heard it, the life of the emperor was beyond the imagination of ordinary people like him.But if you think about it carefully, Qianlong's southern tour was not to find beautiful women in the south of the Yangtze River?It's just that one is going out in person, and the other is sending envoys to help.In contrast, it was his duty for Emperor Zhengde to stay in the palace.

"Zheng He, for the sake of you telling me the truth, I can grant you one wish, just say it." Li Dacheng showed the way God should be. He said this not because he was boasting, but He analyzed Zheng He's current situation and found that he could basically satisfy the other party's requirements. In order to make Zheng He believe him, Li Dacheng also worked hard.

Of course, his purpose of doing this is also to pave the way for Zheng He to sell things for him in the next step.

"A wish?" Zheng He's heart was beating violently, and his voice became trembling, "God, is what you said true?"

Zheng He has never been so excited as he is now. You must know that God is talking to him, and God wants to grant him a wish. Doesn’t he want to realize whatever wish he wants?
"When a gentleman says something, he whips the horse quickly, and what God says, there will be no falsehood."

"God, I only have one wish now, and that is to allow the fleet sailing to the west to return safely." Zheng He said calmly, but very seriously.

"Is this the only wish? Don't you want to become rich? You don't want to be hugged by beautiful women? Or, to cure your physical diseases and increase your life span?" Li Dacheng asked curiously. The wish was beyond his expectation.

"Family wealth, beautiful women, these are just fleeting thoughts. Life and disease are all resigned to fate. And this voyage to the West is related to the lives and wealth of tens of thousands of people. If they can return successfully, it will be the best result for them. Only in this way can we live up to their trust in my subordinates, let alone the emperor's order."

After Li Dacheng listened to this, he was in awe of Zheng He. After all, he was a heroic figure, different from those eunuchs and treacherous officials who were only for their own selfishness.

A mortal can think so, if he refuses to agree, wouldn't it be in vain?
"Okay, Zheng He, I will grant your wish and bless your fleet to return to their homeland smoothly after sailing to the west."
