Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 605 Purpose
He came to Jianlu's palace only once, that was the day he was washed away.At other times, the negotiations with Jianlu were all at the place where he lived.It can be said that Zheng Zhilong is not familiar with Jianlu Palace.

In fact, he was also unfamiliar with the Daming Palace.

But as he walked with the yellow jacket, he felt something was wrong.

It's not that he recognized the way, but judging from some signs and his rich experience in life, something is wrong.

I always feel that entering the palace this time is different from the last time.

For example, there seem to be fewer yellow jackets standing guard, the roads are not as wide as last time, and there are more court ladies.

However, Zheng Zhilong's doubts belonged to doubts, and he didn't take much precautions.After all, he didn't understand the rules of Jianlu's side, maybe he was like this himself.

"Eunuch, someone brought it!"

The yellow mantle came to the gate of a palace, looked around at the gate, and then the eunuch who was happy to see Zheng Zhilong and his party reported.

The eunuch just nodded, looked at Zheng Zhilong, said with a flattering smile on his face: "Your guest is coming, please come inside!"

When Zheng Zhilong saw it, he quickly returned the salute and said, "Don't dare to do it, I don't know if His Royal Highness the Regent called today, what's the matter?"

The eunuch didn't say a word when he heard this, but just gestured with his hands to invite Zheng Zhilong to enter.

When Zheng Zhilong saw it, he thought it was a rule in Jianlu's palace, and the eunuch did not dare to violate it, so he didn't answer him.

So, we had to step inside.

Entering the gate, bypassing the screen wall, I found that this is not a hall for discussing affairs at all, but more like a palace for daily life. Entering the gate is a large courtyard.On one corner, there is an octagonal gazebo.There are still people on the pavilion.

When Zheng Zhilong entered the imperial palace, he didn't dare to look around presumptuously, he just took a glance and didn't dare to look any further.

He has been to many places, and he knows that when he goes to other places, he has to do as the Romans do, so as not to trouble himself because of unnecessary things.

Unexpectedly, the eunuch did not take him into the main hall, but went to the pavilion instead.

"His Royal Highness, Mr. Zheng will bring it here!"

Hearing this, Zheng Zhilong was startled.It turned out that it wasn't the regent who called him, but the queen mother who built the captive called him?

Thinking of this, he naturally looked up, only to see a beautiful woman in Jianlu court attire, graceful and luxurious, also staring at him.

Zheng Zhilong didn't dare to look any further, and hurriedly saluted and said, "I don't know it was summoned by the Empress Dowager, so I'm sorry!"

This person, Bumbutai, heard Zheng Zhilong's words, and said with a smile: "Why is it impolite, it's a concubine who is Menglang. I didn't explain it in advance, but I surprised you!"

After a pause, she explained again: "A few days ago, my son received a big gift from my husband, and I always wanted to thank him, but I never had a chance, so I set up a table for my husband, which is considered a return gift. , how are you?"

Zheng Zhilong was a little puzzled, according to the rules of Daming, there is no such thing as the queen mother entertaining outsiders, is she still a man?
Or, Jianlu are barbarians, and they don't pay much attention to the relationship between men and women, and they are also accustomed to this?

However, since it is a banquet, why put it on the gazebo, just such a table?This is to eat and drink at the table with the Queen Mother?This is not a family banquet, the two of them have never met before, how could they be so close?

Or, is it because Jianlu is a barbarian, so there are not so many rules?

But, that's not right, when the Regent and the others entertained themselves, they were all on their own tables!
He was wondering, wondering what this was?
But Bumbutai was a little unhappy, and immediately asked: "Why, sir, you look down on me, an old woman, and don't want to show her face?"

Hearing this, Zheng Zhilong couldn't tell that she was unhappy, so he said quickly: "Where is the queen mother, she is young and beautiful, why do you say she is old? I was afraid of offending the queen mother, so I hesitated for a while. Already!"

At this time, Bumbutai was thirty-two years old, the mother of three daughters and one son!
According to the standards of this era, it is not wrong to say that she is an old woman.

However, Zheng Zhilong's boast is not all flattery.After all, Bumbutai has a good life, is well maintained, and doesn't look too old.

Hearing Zheng Zhilong's words, Bumbutai turned his anger into joy, and quickly and enthusiastically greeted Zheng Zhilong to take his seat.

Seeing this, Zheng Zhilong had no choice but to think Jianlu was more civilized, so he had no choice but to go up and sit opposite the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty.

There are a few dishes on the table, the rough ones seem to be from the mountains, and there are still steaming dishes, which should have been served not long ago.

There were two maids serving at the side, and when they saw Zheng Zhilong was seated, they immediately came up and poured wine. The wine glass seemed to be a bit big.

I only heard Bumbutai look at Zheng Zhilong with a smile and said: "I am really very grateful to my husband for coming to Daqing, but I always remember my son and give a special gift. If I don't say anything else, I will respect my husband first. Concubine Respect yourself first!"

After finishing speaking, she really picked up the wine glass in front of her and drank it down in one gulp!

"..." Zheng Zhilong was speechless, a little speechless in his heart.

Isn't her son the Qing emperor?Come to their place by yourself, of course you have to give her son a gift!Why do you hear her tone, as if her son, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, is not valued by others?
Thinking of this, Zheng Zhilong immediately thought of something.

little emperor?Regent?
Oh, so it's because of this?
As he was thinking about it, Bumbutai had already drank it down and showed him the bottom of the wine glass.

When Zheng Zhilong saw it, he didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly drank it with him.Even if the person in front of her is not the queen mother, but just an ordinary woman, she should do it first, and as a man, she has to be with her.

After he also lit the bottom of the wine glass, the maid next to him poured the wine automatically.

Zheng Zhilong saw that the Queen Mother Jianlu's wine glass was also full, so he didn't say anything.

Bumbutai said to Zheng Zhilong with an adoring expression on his face: "Hearing about Mr.'s deeds, I am really moved. It's amazing that I can earn such a large fortune from scratch!"

Hearing this, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help feeling a little proud.Regardless, the person who praised him so much was a queen mother, and she was not ugly, a woman in her prime.

Of course, on the surface, he naturally wanted to be humble.

However, Bumbutai stopped him immediately and said: "I hate your Han people's twitchiness, just like a woman, very unhappy! You are powerful, so what is there to be modest about?"

Zheng Zhilong was a little embarrassed when she said it so bluntly.

Seeing him like this, Bumbutai raised his wine glass and said: "I am a Mongolian woman. I just say what I want to say, so I just go straight. I hope you don't mind. This cup, what is the conflict of speaking as a concubine?" Sir, I will be fined one cup first, and please don't mind, sir!"

After she finished speaking, she drank it down again and lit the bottom of the cup.

Seeing Zheng Zhilong, he was a little helpless, so he had to have another drink with him.

At this time, he saw that Bumbutai's cheeks were a little red, so he didn't dare to let her continue to drink, and quickly said to her: "I don't know why Your Highness the Queen Mother is looking for me?"

If Zheng Zhilong really believed that the empress dowager Jianlu put up this position because he really just wanted to thank him for the gift he gave to the little emperor Jianlu, then he is mentally retarded, how could he stand out from the crowd of pirates!

When Bumubutai saw what Zheng Zhilong said, she didn't hide it anymore. She immediately looked at Zheng Zhilong with that expression of admiration on her face and said: "My son Fulin is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. He is still young now. In the future, he will be the emperor of the Qing Dynasty." I want to be in charge of the government. I am worried that he will have limited ability in the future, and he will not be able to bear the heavy responsibility of the huge Qing Empire. Therefore, if I want Mr. Bai to be my teacher and get a few pointers from him, my son Fulin will definitely benefit a lot!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zhilong immediately understood the purpose of the Empress Dowager Jianlu.

Ganqing is afraid that her son will not be able to govern in person in the future, so she is looking for allies for her son.

However, this kind of thing involved the imperial power struggle within Jianlu, and Zheng Zhilong would only rush into it if he was stupid.

He was thinking about how to refuse, but Bumbutai who had been staring at him guessed it, so before he could speak, Bumbutai hurriedly said: "Don't worry, sir, my son is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. In the future, my husband will be the emperor's teacher. In my Qing Dynasty, one person is under one person and over ten thousand people. All business, as long as the husband wants to do it, he will give priority to him. If the husband has anything to do in the future, since my son is a student of the husband, I will naturally do it. Do your best for Mister!"

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he couldn't help crying secretly.Judging by this woman's posture, she has decided to insist on him!

Don't say that Jianlu will definitely be wiped out by the court, even if he doesn't, he won't participate in the imperial power struggle within Jianlu for the sake of business. This is a taboo for doing business!

Unless his ability has already been able to control this kind of imperial power struggle, and he has the final say, then he doesn't mind supporting the party with the best relationship with him.

But now on Jianlu's side, it is the regent Dorgon who holds the real power of Jianlu, not the little emperor of the woman in front of him.

Whether the little emperor can take charge in the end depends to a large extent on what the regent thinks?And how capable is the regent? Did he control the power of the entire Jianlu before the little emperor grew up?

According to the impression he had dealt with before, the regent Dorgon should be a capable person, but now, that Daishan should also be very powerful, so he can restrain the regent.

However, that Daishan is already old, and it is absolutely unknown whether he can support the little emperor until he grows up.If Jianlu's side is dominated by the regent's family, and he wants to die but participates in the imperial power struggle, and he still helps the weak little emperor, this kind of business will probably lose money!

Zheng Zhilong instinctively used his way of doing business to analyze it, and felt that the risk was too great!
