The ministers wanted Zheng He to stay in Japan because he brought much prosperity. However, Zheng He
needed to finish his journey so he packed up. One night, he secretly went out of the palace, met his armies
and took his fleet back to China. The pirates wanted to come to China too. Zheng He said, ‘It’s alright. I
think my king will really appreciate you. Let me recommend you guys to my king so that he accepts you.’
The emperor, Zhu Di, was thrilled when he knew that Zheng He was back and heard about the work he

He said, ‘Maybe you can let the name be Jing Hai Temple because this means ‘the sea was peaceful’!’ Then
they all laughed and went to sleep.
