Daming Zhu Di: Father, why aren't you dead? !

"In the face of adversity, we can still inherit the heart of restoration and rejuvenation, and we can still take the step of the Northern Expedition."

"You're good."

"He is worthy of being the son of Zhu family of our Ming Dynasty."

A voice suddenly sounded in this simple Fengtian Hall.

'who? ! ’

When Emperor Longwu heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

The old eunuch who was kneeling on the ground was also shocked, and his heart skipped a beat. Sound from outside? assassin? !

Zheng Chenggong, who was standing at the threshold, quickly rushed into the house, stood sideways beside Emperor Longwu, and stared at the surroundings cautiously.

As far as Zheng Chenggong's loyalty to the emperor is concerned, the sun and the moon are shining brightly, and the heaven and the earth can learn from it.

Instantly.

In Zhu Yujian's eyes, dozens of figures appeared out of thin air, each wearing a standard dragon robe that was very familiar to him.

My head suddenly buzzed.

He was convinced.

Among the people wearing dragon robes, he had never seen any of them before, and he didn't know any of them.

The list of unknown people also includes Chongzhen Zhu Youjian.

This is actually not difficult to understand.

During the Ming Dynasty of Chongzhen, Zhu Yujian was just a vassal king. According to the Ming Dynasty's system, the vassal king was a pig-raising model. He could enjoy himself as much as he could in the vassal land, but he could not leave his vassal land for the rest of his life.

Without an edict, the emperor in the capital could not be seen at all.

Therefore.

Zhu Yujian, who has lived for forty-four years, has actually never met Zhu Youjian. In fact, he has never even stepped through the gate of Shuntian Mansion. The longest trip in his life is to Fengyang, the ancestral home of the old Zhu family. Be a prisoner.

Just when Emperor Longwu was in shock.

Zhu Yujian suddenly felt a stream of uncomplicated information pouring into his mind. The identities of the people in front of him, from Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang to Chongzhen Zhu Youjian, were instantly understood in his mind.

His eyes suddenly became moist.

In Emperor Longwu's view, this must be because his sincerity moved the true God, and God allowed his ancestors to descend from the dust and point out a bright path for him.

thump.

Zhu Yujian knelt down without hesitation, kowtowed to Zhu Yuanzhang, and was so excited that tears filled his eyes.

"Zhu Yujian, the ninth generation unfilial grandson, bows to Emperor Taizu Gao, bows to Grandpa Taizu! Bows to Grandpa Taizu!"

Bang bang bang.

He kowtowed three times in a row.

After completing this salute, Zhu Yujian stood up, and then he respectfully bowed one by one, starting with A Biao, Lao Zhu Di and others.

This is also understandable.

Zhu Yujian was the 23rd son of Taizu after the Tang Dynasty. He inherited the royal family as a distant ancestor and was not a descendant of the Yan vassal. In terms of blood, among the people present, only Lao Zhu was his direct ancestor.

Since he is not a direct ancestor, it is reasonable not to kneel down and pay homage.

Emperor Longwu's operation confused the old eunuchs around Zhu Yujian and Zheng Chenggong.

What the hell? Emperor Taizu? !

At a time when I was shocked.

despair.

Wuzong Zhu Houzhao's hand had already landed on Zheng Chenggong's shoulder. Zheng Chenggong was shocked and stood up straight.

"Are you Zheng Chenggong?"

Wu Zong looked at Zheng Chenggong in front of him with great interest. He admired this man who was born in a pirate family and grew up under the influence of disloyalty. In the end, he was able to choose to break with his father for the sake of national justice. He admired this loyal minister very much. .

Coming out of the mud but not stained, this is Xiao Zheng.

The eyes of others.

now.

It also fell on Zheng Chenggong.

after all.

Among the upcoming plans, Zheng Chenggong, the eldest son of Zheng Zhilong, is the most critical link.

Being stared at by so many bosses in dragon robes, Zheng Chenggong couldn't help but feel a little numb. After all, he was still relatively young at this moment and was not as calm and composed as Mr. Guo in the future.

"Grandfather Taizu, all the late emperors."

"This man is called Zheng Chenggong, and he is my loyal and brave son of the Ming Dynasty."

Emperor Longwu saw that his ancestors were very interested in Zheng Chenggong and quickly introduced him to everyone.

Zheng Chenggong held his numb scalp and quickly bowed to these ancestors of the Ming Dynasty one by one, with the due etiquette.

thought.

He just saw how pitiful Emperor Longwu was today and wanted to show up to express his feelings. He didn't expect to encounter such a rare miraculous event. The ancestors of the Ming Dynasty all descended to the mortal world. Could this be contrary to the rhythm of heaven? !

"Do the right thing."

Ji Boying glanced at the group of princes and princes, and then he casually found a chair in the room and sat down.

Hearing this, Lao Zhu's face straightened and he nodded seriously.

Immediately, his eyes fell on Zheng Chenggong.

Being stared at so solemnly by Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong was still a little nervous even though he was very good at heart, and sweat could not help but drip from his forehead.

"Zheng Chenggong."

"Let's ask you."

"If your father and uncle are all gone, your Zheng family's troops can be suppressed."

The words fell.

Zheng Chenggong was stunned for a moment, then reacted very quickly, without too much reaction, and then said.

"can."

Zheng Chenggong said this word with great confidence.

He has been in the army since he was a child, and all the generals in the army are familiar with him. Some of the main generals are his brothers, and they have already acquiesced in his identity as the future successor of the Zheng family.

"very good."

"Go back and be ready to take over the entire army."

Hear this.

Zheng Chenggong was startled at first. He seemed to have expected something, and his mind suddenly became tense.

but.

Just after taking a deep breath, he confirmed the choice in his heart, and he understood that it was time to make a decision.

"According to the order."

After saluting respectfully.

Zheng Chenggong resolutely turned around and left Fengtian Palace. Next, he had to rush to the military camp as quickly as possible. He wanted to summon his most reliable generals. If there was a change, he would take over the entire army as Zheng Zhilong's eldest son.

"Father, Zheng Chenggong must have guessed something. Between family and country, he chose country."

A Biao stood beside Lao Zhu, looking at the back of Zheng Chenggong who left resolutely, with a sigh in his eyes. This is actually a difficult choice between family and country. Zheng Chenggong was able to make it resolutely, which shows his loyalty to the emperor and the country. Read, extremely firm.

then.

Lao Zhu looked at Emperor Longwu and Zhu Yujian.

"Immediately issue an order to summon Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhibao, and Zheng Zhifeng to come to Fengtian Palace to discuss important matters."

These three people are special!

Zheng Zhifeng is Zheng Hongkui. Perhaps this old boy felt that the word "phoenix" was not domineering enough, so he changed his name to Hongkui. For this reason, Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhibao were very unhappy for a while. How dare you fall behind!

Hearing what Taizu said, Zhu Yujian was stunned for a moment, and then there was a sad look on his face.

It's not that he is afraid of the three Zheng brothers.

Since he had already planned to go on the Northern Expedition alone, what else could he be afraid of and risk his life? The reason why he frowned was because Zhu Yujian knew in his heart that although he was the emperor, the imperial edicts he actually sent out were not even a piece of waste paper in the eyes of Zheng Zhilong and his brothers.

How can they come if you let them come?

"You're a boy, you have great ambitions, but you've read too many books and made your brain stupid."

"I don't know how to adapt."

Seeing that Zhu Yujian didn't reply for a long time, Wuzong Zhu Houzhao on the side smiled and patted Zhu Yujian's shoulder. Emperor Wuzong, who had been with Wang Yangming all year round, had already learned three points of his ideas.

"Please give me some advice from Emperor Wuzong."

Zhu Yujian quickly straightened up and bowed to Zhu Houzhao.

Although we are not of the same bloodline, and Zhu Yujian has always looked down on this emperor who is easily soluble in water, he is the late emperor of the Ming Dynasty after all. Since he wants to give guidance to himself, as a junior, he still has to give him the respect he deserves.

"You don't need to give special orders to the Zheng family at all. You only need to tell the world that you will abdicate. Zheng Zhilong and others will definitely come to see you."

The words fell.

Zhu Yujian was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up.

Although he is a puppet emperor, a puppet also has the value of a puppet, that is, his existence can give the Zheng family the status to legally plunder half of the country's wealth. If he abdicates, Zheng Zhilong will definitely not sit back and wait.

Even if you want to change a puppet, you have to choose it yourself.

"good idea."

A Biao also sighed in admiration, obviously agreeing with Wu Zong Zhu Houzhao's proposal.

Since even Xueba Biao expressed his agreement, all the other princes and princes of the Ming Dynasty naturally nodded their heads, and this method indeed sounded very reliable.

"In that case, do it like this."

Lao Zhu made a final decision and announced the start of the plan.

"Zhu Yujian obeys the order."

Emperor Longwu saluted and said yes.

however.

His expression was slightly hesitant again.

Zheng Zhilong and others usually carry weapons when entering the palace, and the guards in the palace are also soldiers of the Zheng family. Although there is a group of ancestors in front of them, how do they actually operate?

Just when Zhu Yujian was confused.

I saw these princes and princes all silently pulling out the hidden machetes from their waists.

It's bright and dazzling.

Instantly.

Including Longwu Emperor Zhu Yujian and the old eunuch, everyone watched with twitching eyes.

Good guy.

If the machete was revealed at the beginning, he would throw his short legs off the wall and run wildly.

"Hurry up and draw up the decree and announce it to the world immediately!"

Zhu Yujian stopped inking and looked at the old eunuch beside him. The old eunuch banged his head on the ground and quickly got up and rushed out of Fengtian Hall, quickly drafting an order.

Feel it out.

At this moment, Emperor Longwu was very excited and looking forward to it.

..............................

About half an hour later.

Pingguo Duke's Mansion.

With three tall horses, escorted by a group of entourage, they were heading towards the emperor's palace.

"Brother, the emperor suddenly announced that he would abdicate. What happened?"

Zheng Zhibao, who was on the left side of Zheng Zhilong, frowned slightly and looked quite unhappy.

"What else could it be?"

Zheng Zhifeng on the right smiled disdainfully.

"Zhuang Daozhou died. The emperor was excited for a moment. He has been clamoring for the Northern Expedition these days and asked the eldest brother to allocate food and troops. However, the eldest brother did not pay attention to this at all. It is too refuting the emperor's face. This should not make any noise."

"Zhu Yujian doesn't even think about it. He is a distant vassal king. Without our eldest brother, how could he become the emperor?"

"He can sit on that chair if he wants to, and he can sit on it if he doesn't want to?!"

Then, he said coldly.

"It's not our eldest brother who has the final say!"

Zheng Zhibao continued.

"That's what Third Brother said."

"This person surnamed Zhu just doesn't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. We, the Zheng family, have worked hard to save our family fortune for more than ten years before we are where we are today and can defend this area of ​​the Fujian Sea. But this person surnamed Zhu insists on the Northern Expedition."

"According to me, since Zhu Yujian has announced to the outside world that he will abdicate, then we will fulfill his wish and let him step down. After that, a baby emperor will take over. We brothers will still have their ears clean."

Listening to the words of the two brothers on the left and right, Zheng Zhilong waved his hand.

"You two, please remember that when you go to Fengtian Palace later, don't talk too much about the Emperor's abdication."

"The situation in today's world is unstable, and the emperor's abdication at this time will have a great impact on us."

As a successful pirate businessman, as a successful entrepreneur who was able to transform in the face of the crisis, in Zheng Zhilong's eyes, there is always only the word profit.

Including, Emperor Longwu threatened to abdicate.

For more than half a year, the Zheng family, under the banner of Emperor Longwu, has collected taxes from the four southern regions, and at the same time accelerated the expansion of its own army. Its strength has been increasing day by day, and it is in a period of rapid career growth.

If the emperor were suddenly changed at this time, other provinces would accuse Zheng Zhilong of treason and refuse to continue to pay taxes to the Longwu court. Zheng Zhilong would also be known as a rebellious minister, which would be a real loss for Dafa.

From a business perspective, it's not cost-effective.

"People want face, and trees want bark."

"Since he wants face, let's give it to him."

"When you enter the Fengtian Palace, you two should be more respectful and give the emperor a step down."

Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Zhifeng both nodded when they heard this.

No matter what they think in their hearts, they have to listen to their elder brother in the end. If they don't, the consequences will be serious.

The three brothers chatted and walked to the emperor's palace. The topic of chat had shifted from Emperor Longwu to household chores. The expressions on the faces of the three people were very relaxed. After all, they had enough troops and food at hand, and they were Zheng Zheng in Fujian. The world of one clan.

If it really doesn't work, the worst case scenario is to go to sea again and continue to work as a pirate.

Anyway, those named Zheng will not suffer any loss.

Huh~!

At this time.

The emperor's palace has arrived.

The three brothers, with relaxed expressions on their faces, dismounted from their horses and were about to cross the threshold.

"Brother, do you want to bring a team of guards in?"

Zheng Zhibao said suddenly.

According to the etiquette, of course you can't take it with you.

Zheng Zhifeng on the side smiled disdainfully and patted the sword on his waist.

"All three of us brothers carry knives."

"What's more, the forbidden troops inside are all our people. Why are you afraid of what Zhu Yujian will do?"

"Besides, eldest brother just said that he wanted to give the emperor face. How can you give him this face if you go in with your guards?"

Zheng Zhilong, who was in the middle, said nothing on this topic. He just expressed his attitude with actions and walked directly in the direction of Fengtian Hall.

Obviously.

In Zheng Guogong's view, in his own land, anyone who could kill him would have died long ago. (End of chapter)
