Each time he set off from Liujiagang in Suzhou, until 1433 in the 8th year of Xuande of the Ming Dynasty, he sailed a total of seven times. The last time, when Xuande returned to Guli in April of the eighth year, he died of illness on the ship.

    Historically, the main purpose of Zheng He's trip to the West is to find the missing Jianwen Emperor, as we all know, the throne of Ming Chengzu was not inherited by obedience, it was his unwarranted usurpation, after the "Battle of Jingyan", the bones of Emperor Jianwen were not found, so it is rumored that Emperor Jianwen did not die, but fled overseas, Ming Chengzu sent Zheng He to the West to find his whereabouts, but in the end to no avail, no matter what the reason prompted Zheng He to go to the West, but the final result was to promote the development of the Ming Dynasty.

In my opinion, in fact, the most fundamental reason why Zhu Di chose to let Zheng He go to the West was actually to find the missing Emperor Jianwen. After all, he sat on the throne by himself, completely through rebellion, and he couldn't find the missing orthodox emperor for a day, and he couldn't feel at ease in his seat for a day, so he let Zheng He go to the West, most likely just to find Emperor Jianwen.
