Thinking about it this way, Emperor Zhu Yunying really couldn't stay idle; there were still many things waiting for him to make decisions and take charge of.

Being busy was Zhu Yunying's daily routine, and it was also the most common image of an emperor. Zhu Yunying had long been used to this.

Not only was Zhu Yunying used to these things, but Zhu Yunying was too. He was used to his grandson being so busy that he wouldn't show up for days at a time, and as long as he could see his great-grandson every day, Zhu Yunying had no complaints.

As for whether he was a replacement for his father, Little Zhu wouldn't consider such profound matters. He still loved staying in the Qianqing Palace and was very happy following his great-grandfather.

"Summon Sanbao over here." After confirming Shang Wuning's return date, Zhu Yunying thought for a moment and said, "Our eunuch Sanbao shouldn't just be supervising construction at the shipyard; he should also represent us and go out to sea to see the world!"

Zheng He may need to start considering taking on more important tasks. This eunuch, who has made great contributions in history, may be about to start a brand new job, representing the Ming Dynasty court and the emperor overseas to demonstrate imperial power and authority.

First, he went to the Ryukyu Kingdom's representative, Zhu Yunying, to read the imperial edict, confirming Shang Wuning's legal status. This was something Zhu Yunying was supposed to do.

As an envoy, Zheng He's position was appropriate, after all, he was a eunuch serving Emperor Ying Shi and still held some minor status.

On the other hand, Zhu Yunying naturally wanted to give Zheng He more experience and let him go to sea. If he could take on such a task, Zheng He might soon begin his real voyages to the Western Ocean.

This undoubtedly meant more trust for Zheng He, which naturally presented him with an opportunity that he had to seize.

Zhu Yunying's considerations were quite simple: the Ming Dynasty needed to explore and discover more of the oceans, and to bring back more good things from overseas, things that the Ming Dynasty needed!
