Chapter 618 I still want to marry Aimu to Lantian
Zheng Zhilong's death shocked the entire Ming Dynasty. Now various forces in the world have sprung up like mushrooms, but in terms of strength, Zheng Zhilong's pirate group can definitely squeeze into the top five in the entire Ming Dynasty. It can be regarded as the most powerful navy in Ming Dynasty, including Lantian.

The development of the Lantian navy is mainly restricted by two reasons. The first is that Lantian is too far away from the sea, and it is beyond reach. The region determines the economy, and the region also determines the type of military. Lantian, a northwest force, is for seaside pirates like Zheng Zhilong. , that is a group of landlubbers.

Therefore, although Lantian has developed in the shipping industry in recent years, it has not always had an advantage in shipping, which is very annoying. Another thing is that Lantian lacks talents in shipping. At present, Lantian has at most a few big rivers. However, the navy trained on the river would be tantamount to seeking death if used at sea. Therefore, Lantian urgently needs a talent who understands water warfare, and Lantian does not have such a talent.

Therefore, Li Chaosheng can't carry out drastic naval reforms. As for the Li Chaoshui fleet sent by Lantian for long-distance voyages, they can only protect themselves in Nanyang. Foreign devils such as the Portuguese, the Dutch, and the British in the Age of Discovery.

Here, Li Chaoshui relied on the fact that the lucky boat made by Lantian was strong enough and the artillery was advanced enough, so that he could occupy a side in the Nanyang area, but at most it was a party of princes and did not have a dominant position in this area.

Moreover, due to Zheng Zhilong's sea blockade these years, the special products of the Nanyang Islands occupied by Li Chaoshui, such as spices, cannot be shipped back. This annoys Li Chaosheng, and it is also one of the reasons why Li Chaosheng is determined to kill Zheng Zhilong. You Even if you don't want to be with me, you can't block my money!
Now that Zheng Zhilong has been killed, I think Lantian's financial income will be a little more in the future.

Zheng Zhilong's death still had an impact on Daming. Of course, this impact was only on two people, one was Li Chaosheng, and the other was Chongzhen. As for the others, such as Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, they were all bumpkins. How could they know about the sea? There is hidden wealth that is difficult to reach on land, so Zheng Zhilong's death has no impact on them at all. They should rebel in Henan, and they should rebel in Shuzhong. Rebellion.

As for Chongzhen, he was more concerned about Zheng Zhilong's death. After all, Zheng Zhilong was the commander-in-chief of Fujian in the Ming Dynasty, and he was in charge of the safety of Fujian. Now that he is dead, does Fujian also have chaos?
I also heard from Cao Huachun that after Zheng Zhilong was succeeded by his younger brother Zheng Zhibao, Chongzhen was a little angry. Why shouldn't I appoint the General Army of Fujian?
Cao Huachun was sweating when he heard this. The emperor has to take care of everything. It is not our turn to intervene in the affairs of the Zheng family. Cao Huachun has no choice but to explain the special nature of the Zheng family. The team only recognizes the Zheng family. If your old man sends someone there, he will be dismembered the next day. Believe it or not.

Chongzhen said with a dark face: "Could it be that they want to rebel?"

Cao Huachun said with a dark face: "If they rebelled, we have nothing to do. Our Daming's most capable navy is them. Your Majesty has forced them to rebel, and His Majesty has no strength to suppress the rebellion."

Chongzhen was furious when he heard this, but at this time Cao Huachun said from the side: "However, according to the report from our spies in Fujian, the assassination of Zheng Zhilong this time is probably related to Lantian."

Chongzhen was not going to care about this shitty matter, but he couldn't help being interested after hearing Cao Huachun's words. Chongzhen's interest in Lantian is really too great now, as long as he is close to Lantian, he will go over to have a look.

Cao Huachun lowered his head and whispered at this moment: "Your Majesty, according to our spies' report, this incident was actually carried out by Lan Tian and Zheng Zhilong's younger brother Zheng Zhibao in partnership. The reason is that Zheng Zhilong wanted to transfer the rights to his son Zheng Sen. , This caused the rights of old-school figures like Zheng Zhibao to be affected. At this time, Lan Tian took the opportunity to instigate Zheng Zhibao, killed his brother, and seized his power."

Chongzhen looked at Cao Huachun and said, "Then what can Lantian gain by doing this?"

Cao Huachun said: "Of course, Lantian will get more by doing this, such as the right to cooperate with the Zheng family in shipping trade, such as the shipping rights to the Nanyang Islands, etc. Anyway, Lantian's plans are very big!"

After hearing this, Chongzhen's expression gradually became ugly and he said: "So, Lan Tian wants to take away my interests in Fujian?"

Cao Huachun remained silent, thinking that Your Majesty, your interest in Fujian is just a drop in the bucket for the Zheng family. The benefits the Zheng family gained from shipping, especially monopolizing the Japanese trade line, are simply amazing, so Lantian is not robbing you of your interests. Instead, they want to grab the interests of the Zheng family.

Chongzhen thought for a while and said, "Is there a way to check and balance Lantian?"

After hearing this, Cao Huachun turned his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, this servant has really come up with a method. Although it may not be useful, it will definitely bring trouble to Lantian."

Chongzhen heard the words and said: "Let's listen to it."

Cao Huachun said: "Your Majesty, doing this will not benefit us at all, at most it will disgust Li Chaosheng!"

Chongzhen slapped the memorial in his hand on the Longshu case, and said with a dark face: "I'm going to disgust him, Li Chaosheng, what, I have already married the princess to him in a humble way, and he refused to marry, don't My princess, if you are my Aimee, you won't be able to get married? You are really daring and reckless."

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

"I can't stop my anger. He, Li Chaosheng, just tore off my face, threw it on the ground and kicked him. I am incompatible with him!"

Chongzhen's fury can no longer be suppressed. The one who sent the news of Zheng Zhilong's death to the capital was Li Chaosheng's refusal to marry. Although the little eunuch came back and said it very tactfully, it still made Chongzhen furious. I will give you my jewel You are too young, you still don't give me face, why are you Li Chaosheng so awesome?

Chongzhen wished he could take Li Chaosheng's head and use it as a chamber pot.

Chongzhen couldn't figure it out, his own daughter, the eldest princess of the Ming Empire, was also as beautiful as a fairy, so why didn't she look down on Li Chaosheng when she came here?

It stands to reason that Princess Daming married you, Li Chaosheng, and it’s pretty good that you didn’t let you divorce your previous wives, but you are not only ungrateful, but you dare to refuse the marriage. You really didn’t take yourself as the emperor Vegetables.

Moreover, Chongzhen couldn't figure it out, what was Li Chaosheng's reason for retiring the engagement, what did he say that the husband and wife had a deep relationship, please, I asked Auntie Zhu to be a flat wife, it sounds good to be a flat wife, but isn't it just a young one?
I've already treated you as a child, you don't want it, aren't you a bully?
Chongzhen couldn't hold his face anymore, and at the same time, there was uncontrollable anger in his heart. This endless anger, Chongzhen had nowhere to vent, and it happened to vent out at this time.

Cao Huachun knelt on the ground, and waited until Chongzhen finished venting, Cao Huachun said: "Your Majesty, calm down, calm down."

Chongzhen looked at Cao Huachun and said: "Cao Daban, how can you make me calm down, I have no face as an emperor, no face!"

Cao Huachun sighed: "Your Majesty, state affairs are the most important thing. Li Chaosheng is bold and reckless, but Your Majesty wants to do it himself. Li Zicheng has become a climate in Henan. Sun Chuanting alone cannot support him. If Zuo Liangyu does not support him, the consequences will be disastrous."

"If Li Zicheng really becomes a climate, then the Great Ming will be in danger, and the ancestors will be in danger. Your Majesty, the country is the most important thing!"

Cao Huachun has got the pulse of Chongzhen. He knows that the most important thing in Chongzhen's heart is his ancestors. If you do it once, there will be a second time, and if you have the second time, there will be countless times.

So Cao Huachun felt that Chongzhen would compromise.

After hearing Cao Huachun's words, Chongzhen looked at him and said, "What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, the princess still has to marry!"

Snapped!
Chongzhen was so angry that he dropped the teacup in his hand, Cao Huachun knelt on the ground with his head down and said nothing, Chongzhen let out an extremely angry roar: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"If I marry the princess to Li Chaosheng again, I will find a tree with a crooked neck and hang her to death!"

Chongzhen uttered the most vicious curse at Cao Huachun. Looking at Chongzhen who was furious, Cao Huachun didn't say a word. He knew that at this time, Chongzhen was angry, and it was useless to say anything. Wait quietly.

Chongzhen vented a bit, became incompetent and furious, and finally lost his temper. He sat back on the chair, luckily sighed for a long time and said, "Forget it, for the sake of the ancestor's community, personal honor and disgrace are nothing. If this time can really save The Ming Dynasty is in the water and fire, and the building is being supported in the collapse, no matter how much humiliation I suffer, it is worth it."

After Cao Huachun heard these words, he knew that Chongzhen had been shaken, but he couldn't speak at this time. Many times, Chongzhen needed to make up his own mind and carry out psychological construction before he could make a final decision.

Cao Huachun was thinking, and at this moment, Chongzhen seemed to be talking to himself: "But Li Chaosheng has already refused marriage once, if he refuses again, I..."

Chongzhen was talking to himself, but Cao Huachun knew that Chongzhen was actually asking him for advice. Cao Huachun lowered his head and whispered at this moment; The old slave of Lantian naturally has a way to make Li Chaosheng submit obediently."

Upon hearing the words, Chongzhen looked at Cao Huachun and said, "What can you do?"

Cao Huachun kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, it's better not to ask, otherwise this old servant may lose his head."

Hearing the words, Chongzhen already understood in his heart, looked at Cao Huachun and sighed, "Forget it, I won't ask any more."

Cao Huachun knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After saying this, Chongzhen lost the desire to speak, waved Cao Huachun and obediently exited the study, Chongzhen looked at Cao Huachun's back, and sighed again, he was really aggrieved as the emperor, for the sake of the country and society Put your own face on the ground for Li Chaosheng to step on.

But I was helpless, looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, that emperor had been trampled on his dignity so much, even his own brother couldn't compare to it, every time he thought of this, Chongzhen was in agony, but there was nothing he could do.

Turning around, Chongzhen walked out of the imperial study and came to the harem, where he saw Queen Zhou sobbing and crying.

"Woooo..."

"Queen, don't cry, don't cry."

At this time, a child's voice was heard. It turned out to be Zhu Cijiong, the second son of Chongzhen. At this time, Zhu Cijiong said: "Mother, don't cry, a little county magistrate dares to insult the emperor like this. When he grows up, he must Lead the troops yourself and kill this thief with your own hands!"

Hearing Zhu Cijiong's words, Chongzhen's spirit was shocked, his son was promising.

Immediately following, Zhu Cihong who was listening to the side said: "Mother, your body is the most important thing, don't cry, your body is broken from crying, what do you want the child to do, what do you want the father to do."

Zhu Cihong's voice is not as murderous as Zhu Cijiong's, but he is concerned about his mother. Zhu Cihong is a pure and filial child and a good ruler of success. But now that Daming is so precarious, after a hundred years, This Daming handed over to him?
Chongzhen hesitated for a while, but Chongzhen laughed again for a long time, what was he thinking, when he wanted to pass the country to them, he must have managed the country in a smooth manner, which is suitable for a conservative king like Zhu Cihong.

"Queen, don't cry, this is your daughter's life."

At this time, Aimee Zhu's voice also sounded. After listening to Aimee Zhu's comforting words, Queen Zhou hugged Aimee Zhu and cried, "My daughter, why is your life so hard!"

He cried even more sadly, Chongzhen listened outside the door, and said to Wang Chengen beside him, "You wait here."

"Yes."

Wang Chengen responded obediently, Chongzhen calmed down and pushed open the door.

The four mothers and sons in the room were all taken aback when they saw Chongzhen push the door open, followed by Queen Zhou and wiped away tears, and brought a few children to salute: "I have seen Your Majesty."

"I've seen my father!"

Chongzhen glanced around a few people, and found that the one who cried the most was Queen Zhou, but his daughter Aimee Zhu didn't cry.

"Has the queen cried?"

Chongzhen looked at Empress Zhou and asked, Empress Zhou immediately wiped her tears and said, "No."

Seeing this, Chongzhen said: "The empress, don't hide it from me, whether I'm crying or not, can I still not see it?"

Chongzhen sighed and said, "I am also very angry about Auntie, and I am also very angry. This Li Chaosheng is shameless. I will deal with him sooner or later!"

Empress Zhou was silent when she heard the words. Seeing that Empress Zhou did not answer, Chongzhen pondered for a while and said, "Empress, I want to discuss something with you. Do you think it is okay?"

Empress Zhou looked at Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty is talking about important national affairs. What is there to discuss with your concubines? It's up to Your Majesty to decide."

"Well, what the queen said is true, but I still want to discuss this matter with you. I still want to marry Aimee to Lantian."

"what!!"
