Chapter 163: Chasing the Emperor Again(2/2)
Cao Nai thought for a while and said, "I remember there was a man named Wu Canghai. He was originally a smuggler. He had experienced going out to sea many times. I wonder if this person has come?"
"Here's here!" Zhu Qiyu nodded, "He also believed that there was something wrong with the Hanlin Academy's map, and he also carried a chart with him. Compared with the two, there was indeed something inconsistent."
Gao Gu said thoughtfully: "But the question is, who can guarantee that the chart Wu Canghai will be foolproof?"
This is a problem, because this thing is not about an object, just take it in front of you and see if it is true or false.
Whether your chart is true or not, you need to go to the sea to see it before you know that who dares to make a promise when sitting in the capital?
Zhu Qiyu looked embarrassed: "The issue of the chart directly concerns the success or failure of voyage to the West. I dare not make a decision easily until there is no conclusive evidence."
Gao Gu suggested: "Or let it go first and make a decision when the emperor comes back."
However, unexpectedly, as soon as this statement came out, Zhu Qiyu's face turned even more ugly and said, "The emperor has never left the sea yet, how can he judge the authenticity of the sea chart?"
Gao Gu clearly felt the dissatisfaction of Zhu Qiyu's tone and stopped talking.
At this time, Cao Nai said: "Your Highness is very much that since the court is preparing to go to the West again, it must be foolproof. I have an idea about the issue of the chart."
Zhu Qiyu's face calmed down a little, and he raised his head and said, "Let's listen."
"At present, the treasure ships voyage to the West are still under construction, and it will take at least half a year to launch the water. It is better to send one or two ships as outposts during this period to explore the way. In this way, it will be clear at a glance who is right and who is wrong in both sides."
Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "This is a good idea, but...who is the right one to send?"
Cao Nai replied: "This matter needs to be carefully considered, it must be a reliable person."
If you are looking for an unreliable person, you can just walk around the sea and talk to you randomly, do you believe it or not?
Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and said, "It's better... let Peng Qing and Tang Xiaozhong each take a boat, explore the way according to their own charts, and let them experience it themselves. It's better than quarrel at home every day."
Cao Nai and Gao Gu nodded repeatedly, which was a good idea.
Don’t you two have different opinions? Now there is no way for everyone to determine who is right or who is wrong. Just prove your own statement.
In this way, the court can ensure that the correct chart is obtained. As for the wrong one, you will close your mouth when the time comes.
"Then I'll make that decision. It's better to have a charter in the cabinet. After reading it, I will arrange for them to go to sea as soon as possible!"
"yes!"
The two returned to Wenyuan Pavilion from Wenhua Palace, and Gao Gu had to prepare for chasing the emperor. The regulations on the advance voyage to the West naturally fell on Cao Nai.
That night, the busiest one was the Ministry of Rites. Lord Shangshu was still eating sand in Mobei. Now he has received news and wants to send someone to chase the emperor.
Why say again...
This incident caused quite a stir in the court and could easily leak it out.
Outside Chaoyang Gate, No. 4 Factory Huangzhuang.
Song Guxi was shocked and asked, "You mean, the emperor secretly went to Nanjing?"
"Shh!"
Xiaohua gestured to silence, and then whispered: "The news is absolutely accurate. The imperial court will be led by the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, Gao Gu and officials of the Ministry of Rites, and will set out early tomorrow morning."
Song Guxi paced anxiously and murmured: "What's wrong with it..."
"Miss, you don't have to be so nervous. It is said that the emperor was preparing to personally expedition Annan, worried that he would be opposed by all officials, so he secretly ran away!"
"Not that simple!"
Song Guxi shook his head and said, "My adoptive father has been dormant for many years. Now everything is ready. It only needs the east wind. What we want is to be foolproof and never make any mistakes!"
Xiaohua said with an incredible look on her face: "What do you mean is the emperor's goal... Master?"
"The adoptive father is in Nanjing. The emperor happened to go to Nanjing by chance. Do you think this is just a coincidence?"
"Maybe... it's really just a coincidence? The master's whereabouts have always been secret. Over the years, even the White Lotus Sect has been kept in the dark. The emperor has lived in the deep palace for a long time. How could he know?"
"No, no, this is not that simple!"
Song Guxi thought about it all the time, but always felt something was wrong, and it seemed that something was going to happen.
"You go and prepare. We will set off immediately to Nanjing early tomorrow morning."
"But……"
Xiaohua said: "The master means that we two stay in the capital to support..."
