A news that shocked Quanshun Tianfu quickly spread, and Emperor Hongxi ordered the prince to go south to Yingtianfu to worship his ancestors.

In the eyes of visionary people, this is a signal that Emperor Hongxi tried to gather power from Wang Xiao.

After all, Wang Xiao still has the power to supervise the country in name, and he also holds military power and Jinyiwei. No matter which emperor is unable to tolerate such things.

The prince is not good either.

In addition, based on the meaning revealed by Emperor Hong Xi in the past, it can be judged that he is preparing to move the capital to respond to Tianfu.

Zhu Gaochi has been in Yingtian Prefecture for twenty years in charge of the country. He has long been accustomed to the environment and climate of Jiangnan.

Shuntian Mansion is dry and cold, and the wind is strong.

If the location is too close to the north, it will weaken the control over the southern provinces.

In order to transport grain and pay to the north, a large amount of financial resources are spent every year.

These were inappropriate in Zhu Gaochi's eyes, so he had long intended to move the capital to respond to Tianfu.

If Wang Xiao was sent to the south to worship his ancestors, there was another possibility that Wang Xiao would do the preliminary preparations.

But in the eyes of those who have poor vision, this is a signal that Wang Xiao lost his power and is about to be taken down.

In order to realize the ambition in my heart, countless people began to run around and accumulate strength. People like Zheng, who do not forget to go to Emperor Hongxi every day to get familiar with each other.

The meritorious people of the Jingnan Campaign regarded Wang Xiao as Zhu Di's true heir, and their secret connections and actions were more hidden and more frequent.

Amid this turbulent disturbance, Wang Xiao, who had been silent, took his wives on a journey south.

As for Zhu Qizhen, he was left behind by the queen.

To outsiders, this is being taken as a hostage, but in fact it is just a grandmother who is unwilling to let her young grandson run far away.

"Sister, what do you think about the prince?"

After traveling to Jiangnan for a long distance, Hu Shanxiang, who could no longer bear it, took advantage of Wang Xiao's efforts to learn the Four Books and Five Classics with the Prince's Tutor, and held Sun Ruowei's hand to figure out what Wang Xiao wanted.

"He just wants to be a tree."

Sun Ruowei's response made Hu Shanxiang confused, "Tree? What tree?"

"A big tree that can be kept unmoved no matter how winds east, west, south, north and north."

Therefore, Sun Ruowei's political ability and vision are much better than her sister.

Although Wang Xiao did not say anything bluntly, she could see Wang Xiao’s plan.

No matter how stormy the outside world is, Wang Xiao just stands on his own foundation and ignores anything else.

As for Wang Xiao's foundation, it was not the name of his prince, nor the illusory things like fame and prestige. It was the orthodox identity left to him by military power, Jinyiwei and Zhu Di's order.

As long as Emperor Hong Xi doesn't touch these things, let alone let Wang Xiao come to Yingtian Mansion to worship his ancestors, even if he is asked to go to Qiongzhou to worship the sky, it will be fine.

Moreover, many people outside think that Emperor Hong Xi and Wang Xiao turned against each other because of power, distrust each other. But Sun Ruowei knew that this was impossible.

It’s not that the family relationship between the two has exceeded the throne.

But because Emperor Hong Xi knew very well that Wang Xiao’s status could not be shaken.

He knew that Wang Xiao had a very similar side to Zhu Di in his personality, that is, he was decisive enough when doing things.

If it really comes when it is time to take action, Wang Xiao will never hesitate to launch a new Jingnan battle.

Once Wang Xiao chose to take action regardless of his reputation, Emperor Hong Xi would basically have no resistance.

During the Jingnan Campaign, Emperor Jianwen had the elite troops left by Zhu Yuanzhang to him, and he could still deal with Zhu Di for several years.

But at this moment, all the elite troops of the Ming Dynasty were in Wang Xiao's hands. Emperor Hong Xi could only mobilize some Japanese soldiers, and the Japanese soldiers were nominally controlled by Wang Xiao.

Emperor Hongxi knew that he could move something else, but he could not move military power. Because once the military power was moved, Wang Xiao would rebel.

The current situation is that the two of them restrain each other.

Emperor Hongxi did not dare to force Wang Xiao to give up, and Wang Xiao did not want to be charged with murdering his father and seeking a throne.

Wang Xiao is still young enough, so he can wait and is willing to wait.

He knew that Emperor Hongxi had not had much time, so there was no need to do anything. Just wait.

He is not the kind of person who has been the prince for thirty years and is about to go crazy when he is a spare tire.

Watch the fun outside, and the experts look at the tricks.

Sun Ruowei is such an expert.

"Don't think about it all day long. What kind of personality does he have and what great abilities do you have? You don't know what the person next to you has been doing for so long? If we really need to worry about his outside things one day, it's really over."

Wang Xiao, who is believed by the outside world to lose power and is about to become the deposed prince, is currently studying leisurely.

Although he is far away from the capital, the Jinyiwei will send the latest information every day.

As for military power, almost all the generals in the army were meritorious of the Jingnan Battle. They were all standing one-sidedly on Wang Xiao, who was the heir of Zhu Di.

For Zhu Gaochi, who intends to overturn the Jingnan Campaign and to move the capital to Tianfu, the most important thing is that Zhu Gaochi, who clearly shows his tendency to value culture and neglect military military officials. If there is a better choice, these military generals are undoubtedly standing on Wang Xiao's side.

As long as the military power is in hand, Wang Xiao can enter and exit freely, and he will decide what posture he wants to use.

Wang Xiao studied with the great scholar in his study.

What he learned was not the art of emperors, but the Four Books, Five Classics and Eight-Legends used in the imperial examinations of the big turbans.

There were two great scholars who taught him. Although they were gray-haired and over 70 years old, they were all powerful men who had achieved brilliant achievements in the imperial examination and were well-educated.

One of them once spent Tanhua in high school in Yongle in his early years, while the other was a well-deserved brave man because he participated in the imperial examinations in the distant Hongwu years and won the title of No. 1 pick in one fell swoop!

Wang Xiao found a professional to teach him the imperial examinations, which was also for the purpose of preparing for the future.

He knew that it was impossible for him to arrange his identity well every time he traveled through time, and there would always be unsatisfactory times.

If it was a dynasty before the Song Dynasty, then it would be impossible to say that it would be to swing a knife directly in the martial era.

After traveling to Song Dynasty, I had no suitable identity, so the imperial examination sometimes became very important.

Wang Xiao didn't want to learn these things that were troublesome to see, but he had to force himself to continue to learn seriously.

With one more technology, it may work at any time.

It’s really good to eat, drink, play and eat all day, but if you really want to get something done with real skills, you’ll be fooled.

Wang Xiao doesn't like listening to operas and has no interest in singing and dancing performances.

In this era of lack of entertainment life, if he doesn't want to drive in his room all day, he has to find a long-term entertainment program for himself.

Riding a horse, shooting archery, practicing martial arts, musical instruments, reading, and drawing.

Knowledge is the most precious wealth, and there is nothing wrong with this.

With an expert in the examination room as a teacher, and with outstanding comprehension, Wang Xiao's learning process is very fast.

The white-haired top scholar also said with emotion that if Wang Xiao studied hard for ten years and ended up taking the exam, there would definitely be no problem in high school.

Wang Xiao never smiled and refused to respond to this kind of topic.

In addition to reading, there is another important thing, which is to practice calligraphy.

In ancient times, people of culture attached great importance to writing, thinking that the characters were like the person. Therefore, writing was also a very important thing.

Wang Xiao traveled through many worlds, so he could naturally write calligraphy.

But if you say how good he wrote, he would be embarrassed to say it.

After knowing Sun Ruowei, he learned to copy the Zhang Menglong Monument from Sun Ruowei.

The Zhang Menglong Stele is a regular script inscription standing during the Northern Wei Dynasty. Because the calligraphy on the stele is natural and smooth, bold and indulgent, it is praised by later generations as the world's number one Wei stele.

People who like calligraphy basically copy and learn. Sun Ruowei wrote Zhang Menglong Stele with great skills.

Wang Xiao learned to copy this because the Zhang Menglong Stele was regular script. Regular script could be eaten in any dynasty, and the style of Guange used in the imperial examinations of the Ming and Qing Dynasties was actually derived from regular script.

Life in Yingtian Mansion is very easy, and it is a rare leisure time for Wang Xiao.

But he couldn't really be relaxed.

When Zheng He came to Yingtian Prefecture, he had to meet him.

As a navigator, when this era of great navigation was about to begin, Zheng He was far more important than that of the civil and military officials of the court.

"How do you think the treasure ships used in the fleet are performing?" Without any polite greetings, Wang Xiao asked his most concerned question when he saw Zheng He. "Can you sail in the ocean? How far can you go at the farthest time?"

Zheng He's treasure ship is the main force of Zheng He's fleet.

The large treasure ship has more than 2,000 materials and a displacement of more than 1,000 tons. Comparing the boat that was above 100 tons in Columbus, the majestic aura of China emerged.

Zheng He's main force was a treasure ship with two thousand materials and one thousand five hundred materials, even the smaller ones were more than 800 tons.

There were 208 ships at the highest number of fleets, and there was no doubt that this was the invincible fleet of this era.

In fact, if you think about the poor and small countries on the Europa continent at this moment, and compare the magnificent China, it is natural to have a gap between the two sides.

"If the fleet is well prepared, you can reach Adam from Guli as far as the distance." In Zheng He's words, this is almost equivalent to arriving from the southern part of India across half of the Indian Ocean to the Arabian Peninsula. "Treasure ships are available and can be voyed far away."

Zheng He thought about it, "The shipbuilding drawings sent by the prince before, and I asked the craftsmen to read them. They all said that they could make them, and they estimated that the speed would be faster and the stability would be better. But the load capacity was not as good as the treasure ship."

"Is there any problem starting from Liujiagang to Fusang?" Wang Xiao finally gave up his thoughts.
