Chapter 51: Submission Conditions

After hearing what the emperor said, Chen Jiaoqian became even more nervous: "Your Majesty, is that Zhejiang businessman not right? Otherwise, let the third brother stop interacting with him."

"Don't be nervous, I'm just a little worried. If that businessman just wants to rely on the power of your third brother to gain a foothold in Guangzhou, it's nothing, I'm afraid he has other purposes."

"My mother just mentioned me, but didn't say much. However, after the emperor said this, I was a little suspicious. The third brother has never been taken seriously, and my mother rarely mentions him. Why did she mention him this time?"

"Okay, Qian'er, don't participate in this matter, and don't reveal anything to your mother. With your father here, if the businessman has anything wrong with it, he will not ask for it."

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid, how can I reveal our words?"

"I just knew you were a villain!"

"You came again and said he was young!"

...

Zhu Youlang was afraid that Chen Jiaoqian would be worried, so he didn't say anything. This Zhejiang businessman took advantage of Chen Jicai to get in touch with many noble officials in Guangzhou. He was very active and was noticed by Ma Jixiang's subordinates, but he didn't find anything wrong.

It was only because he came from an enemy-occupied area that Zhu Youlang was afraid that Chen Ji would be deceived, so he asked.

Now it seems that Chen Jiaoxi's mother has even entered the palace and mentioned it, which seems not that simple.

He would not let the concubines' family become a force that can control the government affairs, and now they still need to work hard, such as Chen Jitai and his son, and Dai Rufeng. Of course, these "royal relatives" are now on the same mind as him and will not have other ideas. They are all a community of shared future. As for whether they will happen in the future, it is hard to say, and they have to look at it again. However, there is one thing that can be done as long as they do not have monsters, they can still maintain their wealth and honor in their lifetime.

I guess some people also saw their reliance on the Chen family, so they tried to curry favor with the Chen family. This was nothing, but if someone had made up his mind, Zhu Youlang would not ignore it.

...

"Governor, Shi Lang sent Shi Zhaoxu to come to praising his filial piety. Do you think?"

On Kinmen Island, Zheng Chenggong's navy was in charge of the entire army, and a mourning hall was set up in front of the tent of the commander. In front of Zheng Zhilong's God Lord tablet, cigarettes were lingering. Zheng Chenggong knelt in front of the spirit to burn paper. His general Zhou Quanbin came over and reported to him quietly.

"Hmph, it's also a blessing for Shi Lang to be my Zheng family's general, but he didn't come here in person. Could it be that he felt that he had become the right governor of Yongli and looked down on my Zheng family?" Zheng Chenggong put down the dark paper in his hand and said unhappily.

"Governor, Shi Lang's move is understandable. After all, he had a marriage with us and his uncle was killed by the old master, so he didn't dare to come."

"Hmph, Shi Zhaoxu must have been ordered by Yongli, otherwise Shi Lang would not have sent anyone. Since he has come, we cannot be rude."

Zhou Quanbin nodded and went out. After a while, he led Shi Zhaoxu in.

Shi Zhaoxu put on a incense stick, and after the worship of his son and nephew, Zheng Chenggong returned the gift, and then led him into the commander's tent.

Zheng Chenggong's original name is Zheng Sen. He is the eldest son of Zheng Zhilong. He is very handsome, with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a handsome nose. No wonder Emperor Longwu loved him very much as he saw him and said, "I hate that no woman has married you." In the end, he really loved him so much that he gave Zheng Sen the surname "Zhu" and changed his name to "Cheng", which was considered to have expressed his wish.

In this sense, it is understandable that Zheng Chenggong has been worshipping Longwu as the truth.

"My father was killed by the Tartars. Although Chenggong had already broken away from his father-son relationship with him when he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he was heart-to-heart. He heard the evil news and felt heartbroken. Therefore, he was not surprised by the incomprehensible hospitality. "Zhaoxu must not be surprised by the fact that he entered the commander's tent, Zheng Chenggong and Shi Zhaoxu met again and said politely.

"A person cannot be resurrected after death. It is only a pity that the Tartars broke the bridges after crossing the river. It is too inhumane. The eldest son must be mourned and taken care of himself. The southeastern sea cannot live without the young master." Shi Zhaoxu said lightly as he replied.

"Zhao Xu, although you and I have worked together, we are now working together, so don't mention the title of the eldest son." Zheng Chenggong replied lightly.

"Yes, Governor." Shi Zhaoxu changed his name according to the situation: "Governor, you are the Longwu year name, but now the old emperor has collapsed. Only Emperor Yongli of Ming deceit is not his own responsibility."

"Zhaoxu, when the old emperor Longwu passed away, his younger brother Shaowu followed him. Yongli was just stealing Mingzuo, and this governor would not regard him as the truth." Zheng Chenggong said.

"Governor, when Emperor Longwu was banned, he issued an order to punish the country now, but it was not his younger brother. It was Emperor Shaowu who stole the country as Brother Longwu, but it was not Longwu today." Shi Zhaoxu defended.

"Zhao Xu, you are here to celebrate your filial piety today. I am very grateful to you. If you are a lobbyist in Yongli, please don't talk about it again. I respect the Chongming Office, but only hold the Longwu reign title." Zheng Chenggong no longer argued with Shi Zhaoxu and said flatly.

"Governor, Shu Zhaoxu is prone to the ruling of the Yongli period. You have not regarded Yongli as the truth, nor have you refused to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. So what are your plans in the future?"

"Zhao Xu, are you here today representing Shi Lang or Yongli?"

"There are both. The governor, my brother is only the right governor of the Ming Navy, and the left governor is waiting for him. If he surrenders, I believe that Your Majesty will not treat you badly."

"Zhaoxu, if I want me to surrender, it is not impossible, but there are two conditions."

"Governor, you said."

"First, behead Li Chengdong to thank the Emperor Xian; second, the Ming Navy is all led by me and I will be granted the title of king."

"This, the governor, although Li Chengdong killed Emperor Longwu, he was surrendered by Long Live, and returned to justice. The Chongyangxi victory and the Zhangzhou war all made great contributions. The emperor would not kill him. Besides, the governor probably heard about Sun Kewang's affairs and asked the emperor to be king with 200,000 soldiers, but the emperor did not agree. Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Ainengqi surrendered, and he was only named Earl. It is unlikely that the request to be king would be achieved."

"Zhaoxu, don't say it anymore. If you don't agree to these two conditions, Mr. Zheng will never surrender. Please go back." Zheng Chenggong waved his hand and said resolutely.

"Okay, Governor, I'll go back and report. Master, please take care of me." Shi Zhaoxu knew that when he left, he would meet again in the future, which would mean that he would meet with swords and weapons, so in the end he was called a retainer's etiquette.

After seeing off Shi Zhaoxu, Zheng Chenggong summoned Liu Guoxuan, Zhou Quanbin and other generals to discuss matters.

"Governor, what's this? If Emperor Yongli was sincere, he would have to send someone of weight to come. Why did he send Shi Zhaoxu?" Liu Guoxuan said.

"It's obvious that this is not taking us seriously. Now Yongli wins consecutive battles and is already ambitious and will not take us seriously anymore. However, we are the Longwu reign, so he can't attack us." Zhou Quanbin said.

"Governor, Yongli will not agree to the two conditions you mentioned. Next, Shi Lang will definitely attack us. What should we do?" Liu Guoxuan asked.

"It's okay, this governor has his own way." Zheng Chenggong said.
