Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 755 I Trust Liu Qing
Imperial City, outside the Meridian Gate.

Zheng Sen never thought that one day he would be able to enter the Huangji Palace as the head of the Zheng family.

But after all, he was born in a rich family, and during the time he was studying in Nanjing City, he saw a lot of officials and family members, so he didn't show his timidity.

"You guys don't need to be nervous. You don't need to say much when you enter the hall. Just follow my elder brother's orders." Seeing Liu Guoxuan and Chen Jinnan clenched their fists, Zheng Sen said with a smile.

In fact, these words were partly meant for his fifth uncle Zheng Zhibao. Zheng Zhibao was an illiterate and rude person, but after all, he was his own elder and he couldn't say anything.

On the contrary, Zheng Hongkui was staring at the doorway under the Meridian Gate in a daze with his hands behind his back. He had passed the Wu Jinshi examination several times in the first half of his life, but now he was about to ascend to the supreme Huangji Hall as a deposed Wu Juren, feeling somewhat dazed.

"Patriarch, Your Majesty is not as old as the weak crown and knows the harm of the Zheng family, can he tolerate me?" Feng Xifan was uncertain and whispered to Zheng Sen.

In fact, they all knew in their hearts that they couldn't help it if they could tolerate it. This was the Imperial City of the Ming Dynasty, and there were guards of the Ming Dynasty with guns and live ammunition everywhere.

Since entering Beijing, there is no turning back.

"Don't underestimate your majesty's mind, someone is here." Zheng Sen saw a father-in-law approaching from the Meridian Gate, so he knew it was time.

"Who is Zheng Sen?" The little eunuch looked businesslike.

"Elder-in-law, I am." Zheng Sen hurriedly cupped his hands.

"The emperor summoned you, let's enter the palace with our family!"

"Yes, father-in-law worked hard."

Brother, whether this is a blessing or a curse, it all depends on you, Zheng Sen sighed in his heart, and then signaled his subordinates behind him to follow.

……

"Your Majesty, the one in charge is Zheng Sen, the son of Zheng Zhilong!" Liu Hongjian was the closest to Zhu Cihong, and pointed at Zheng Sen when he saw Zheng Sen and his party approaching the door.

Seeing that Zheng Sen was also a very young man, Zhu Cilang already had a good impression in his heart, and nodded slightly.

After all, apart from him and Liu Hongjian, the court is full of old Confucian scholars, without any vitality in the daily life.

When Zheng Sen approached, he saw that he was imposing and upright, and immediately made up his mind.

"The man of ten thousand deaths, Zheng Sen, kowtows to His Majesty!" Zheng Sen walked to the front of the hall, lifted up his robe and knelt under Zhu Cihong's throne, and then all the generals of the Zheng family also knelt down one after another.

"Stay flat!" Zhu Cihong raised his right hand falsely.

Seeing Zhu Cihong's expression, Zhang Tianlu in the audience knew that Zhu Cihong wanted to use the Zheng family's thoughts, so he shook his head and remained silent.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zheng Sen bowed again before getting up.

"Your father Zheng Zhilong didn't listen to the imperial court's instructions, and finally brought disaster to the Zheng family. I'm so relieved that you found your way back when you got lost." Zhu Cihong stood up from the dragon chair, walked to the imperial steps in front of the dragon chair and said softly.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the late father said something when he was dying. He regretted not doing it at the beginning. What happened has already happened, and Sen can't change it. Now Sen only wants to serve the court and redeem the sins of the late father." Zheng Sen cupped his hands and said in a deep voice.

"Your father's matter, I heard from Liu Qing, the Zheng family is no longer, after all, they guarded the coastal defense for my Daming, and your father vowed not to surrender in the Dongning sea battle, and did not lose the reputation of my Han family. The same is true for the Huoluo Island battle .

I would like to restore your father Zheng Zhilong's title, and you will inherit Nan'an Bo. " Zhu Cihong sighed slightly.

Such a signal was almost equivalent to Zhu Cihong accepting the Zheng family's surrender, which made Feng Xifan, Chen Jinnan and others in the palace heave a sigh of relief.

"Zheng Sen thanked His Majesty Long En!" Zheng Sen knelt down immediately when he heard the words, he did not expect Zhu Cihong to be so kind.

"The father died before the country, and His Majesty has a broad mind to repay grievances with virtue. Sen is ashamed, and is willing to donate all his family wealth to serve His Majesty!" Zheng Sen did not know whether he had an idea long ago, or just a temporary idea, and continued clasping his hands.

"Zheng Hongkui, the sinner of the Zheng family, is also willing to donate his family wealth to serve His Majesty!" Seeing his nephew like this, Zheng Hongkui, who was not low in consciousness, stepped forward and knelt beside Zheng Sen.

"I, Zheng Zhibao, donated too, fighting to the death for His Majesty!" Zheng Zhibao scratched his head, as if he felt a little distressed.

After all, their wealth did not fall from the sky, it was all obtained by desperate efforts at sea, and it really takes courage to donate it now.

Back then, Zheng Zhilong left Sulu because he was reluctant to part with the wealth, but at the critical moment, Zheng Zhibao couldn't allow Zheng Zhibao to lose his chain. The purpose of coming to the capital was only one, to convince the courtiers of the sincerity of the Zheng family, and then walk out alive.

Chen Jinnan and the others didn't have much wealth, but when they saw the Patriarch and other elders kneel down, they also knelt down immediately.

"I want to make you the Governor of Taiwan and form the Great Ming Nanyang Fleet under my order, what do you think?" Zhu Cihong said lightly.

"I would like to report to Your Majesty that Sen's lack of talent and lack of knowledge should not take on such a big responsibility. I hope His Majesty will take back his order. Sen is willing to be a pawn in the army and die for His Majesty without regret." Zheng Sen naturally refused to accept it, and said humbly.

"Hahaha, if you are really asked to become a pawn in the army, I'm afraid someone will go crazy on the spot!" Zhu Cihong laughed and glanced at Liu Hongjian when he heard this.

"Think twice, Your Majesty! The Zheng family..." Seeing that Zhu Cihong really wanted to promote the Zheng family, Zhang Tianlu bowed to persuade him.

"Couldn't the Zheng family's wealth still stop Zhang Aiqing from talking about you? Zheng Sen, tell Zhang Aiqing how much wealth you donated!" Zhu Cihong glanced at Zhang Tianlu and said to Zheng Sen.

"The Zheng family suffered such a catastrophe, half of the warships capsized, and the family property also suffered losses. A total of 400 million taels of silver can be donated to repay the emperor's kindness." Zheng Sen estimated and said flatly.

hiss--

Hearing Zheng Sen's words, half of the courtiers gasped.

At that time, the king of Anguo County ransacked his home for several years, and the sum of the richest people was probably only this number.

Zheng Sen didn't lie, the Zheng family was indeed very rich when Zheng Zhilong left Nanyang, so much that he didn't even know how much money the family had.

But when they went south to Sulu, they were in a hurry, and there was no time to sell the industries in the mainland of Ming Dynasty. In addition, the expansion of Sulu and the war with the Europeans greatly consumed the Zheng family's financial resources.

"Okay! I've made up my mind, all Aiqings, don't talk too much, Zhang Aiqing should also step back." Zhu Cihong said with a downcast face.

This large sum of money from the Zheng family can really relieve the pressure on the household department, and it has also blocked the mouths of many people.

Zhang Tianlu knew that the matter was irreversible, so he retreated resentfully.

The numbers reported by Zheng Sen also made Zhu Cihong's eyes brighten. He used to hear Liu Hongjian say that the Zheng family was rich, but he didn't expect to be so rich.

"Your Majesty, Sen is still young..." Zheng Sen didn't know whether Zhu Cihong was sincere or tempting, and still wanted to politely refuse.

"I was only 17 years old when I ascended to this great position. Don't you think Daming is doing well now?" Zhu Cihong spread his hands and smiled.

Zheng Sen was silent when he heard the words, still kneeling in the hall.

"To be honest, I'm not very sure whether your Zheng family is sincerely attached to my Daming, but it doesn't matter, I believe in Liu Qing." After speaking, Zhu Cihong glanced at Liu Hongjian, and found that he was also smiling and nodding at himself, feeling uneasy. feel complacent.

"Okay, don't say no, I don't like mother-in-law and mother-in-law's admiral." Zhu Cihong said to Zheng Sen with a sullen face.

"Chen Zhengsen... accept the decree and thank you!"

Zheng Sen turned his head and glanced at Liu Hongjian, seeing him nodding slightly at him, Fang dared to accept his orders.

"If you sincerely belong to me, Da Ming, then let me see your performance.

That's it, retreat! "

After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, he turned around and planned to go back to the palace. He had been overworked recently, and his waist always felt sore and weak. He thought of the magic wine that Liu Hongjian gave him.

"Oh, Liu Qing will follow me into the Qianqing Palace to discuss matters!" After walking two steps, Zhu Cihong seemed to have remembered something, and turned to Liu Hongjian and said.
