Emperor Chongzhen was suddenly a little confused.

The last time someone asked him this, it was when he was on Kyushu Island, and he asked this question, and then he sold his eldest son Zhu Cixie.

Looking back now, it's clear that the business was worth it.

Let's not mention whether Masahito and Tokugawa Iemitsu have any crooked ideas, but the people of the Japanese country are happy to see a commission on this matter.

The most immediate reaction was the overseers of the Japanese state.

Originally, they came to Daming or went overseas to work as overseers to earn money to support their families, and they had to be taken by Masahito and the shogunate in the middle, but now these dwarves regard the great cause of overseers as their own business.

As a result, labor mortality has skyrocketed.

For the dwarves of the Wa Kingdom, the people of the Ming Dynasty are not qualified to take care of it, so these barbarian laborers under their command don't care very much, they are all consumables anyway, and they don't have to feel distressed if they die - since these barbarians are not willing to work hard and consume the food of the Ming Dynasty, then let them die!

From the bottom of his heart, Emperor Chongzhen was very disgusted with the practice of the Japanese overseers, but intellectually speaking, Emperor Chongzhen thought that the Japanese overseers and warriors did the right thing and did a good job.

After all, the more they annihilate humanity now, the more they can show their loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.

The theory is very fucked, but it is very realistic - what song to sing on what mountain, and to look at things from the perspective of Emperor Chongzhen, naturally it is different from the perspective of Zhu Xiaosong, a programmer ape in later generations.

Now that Ferdinand III suddenly brought up such a sentence, Emperor Chongzhen's knee-jerk reaction was that Ferdinand III had a daughter?

However, immediately after, Emperor Chongzhen threw this idea out of his mind.

According to the information of Jin Yiwei, Ferdinand III was married three times.

His first wife was his cousin, Princess María Ana of Spain (1606-1646), and they had two sons: the eldest son, Ferdinand, who had hung up; The second son, Leopold, is still at the age of thriving.

After the death of Maria Anna in the nineteenth year of Chongzhen, Ferdinand III married his cousin, Archduchess Maria Leopoldin, who was in poor health and was pulled back from death by the imperial physician of the Ming Dynasty.

In Jinyiwei's information, Leopodin has not yet given birth to a child, neither a boy nor a girl.

Ferdinand III, who only had two sons and one hanging, asked what he wanted to do? Let the third child have a base with his family's Leopold?

Emperor Chongzhen, whose hand had already unconsciously touched his waist, sneered and said, "I don't know what you propose?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen has already made up his mind, if Ferdinand III has any other good proposals, forget it, if this grandson dares to put forward the word Ji today, he will cut Ya in two!

As for the fact that going to war with the Holy Roman Empire now will bring some trouble to the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, it will also cause the Ming to lose a lot of benefits, Emperor Chongzhen obviously can't take care of it.

That's my own son, dear!

Of course, if Ferdinand III had taken a fancy to someone else, such as Zhang Shize's younger brother or something, Emperor Chongzhen would have been happy to be an adult......

Ferdinand III, who didn't know that he had one foot in the ghost gate, pondered and said, "That's right, I also have a daughter, who is about the same age as the third prince. ”

Emperor Chongzhen immediately set his sights on Wang Guoxing.

In the information provided by Jin Yiwei, it was never mentioned that Ferdinand III had a daughter!

The cold sweat on Wang Guoxing's forehead broke out instantly.

What did the overseas Jinyiwei do? Now that there is such a big mistake, even the relatives of Ferdinand III can be wrong, how much other information can be trusted by them?

It's easy to say if Emperor Chongzhen hadn't come, but what about now?

Emperor Chongzhen himself came to Europe, or did he come to open a film with the European barbarians, if the people below came out with a big problem with the intelligence, if it led to a defeat at that time, how would he explain to the emperor?

The ruling minister of the Holy Roman Empire saved Wang Guoxing and also solved the doubts in Emperor Chongzhen's heart.

When Ferdinand III said that he had a daughter, the consul Wallenstein finally couldn't hold back after a long time, and asked directly: "Why have you never heard the emperor say that he has a daughter?" ”

Ferdinand III's face did not show any embarrassment, but with a hint of pride: "My illegitimate daughter Avril is now just twelve years old, and she has never disclosed her identity before.

If, I mean, if the Ming Emperor agrees to the marriage of Avril and the three princes of your country, I will immediately disclose Avril Lavigne's identity to all my subjects, and canonize her as the Grand Duchess of Bavaria! ”

Before Emperor Chongzhen and the civil and military ministers of the Ming Dynasty could react, Wallenstein blew up first: "This is absolutely impossible!" Leopold didn't make any mistakes! ”

Ferdinand III glanced at Wallenstein, then bowed to Emperor Chongzhen and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well, and I still have some things to discuss with my consuls, can I get here today?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen, who was still in a daze, nodded and said, "Okay, anyway, I still have to stay here for a while, presumably the lord of your country also has time, and we can talk about the rest of the things slowly."

However, at the banquet in the evening, I hope that Mr. Ferdinand will never be absent? ”

Ferdinand III laughed: "Of course! I've long heard that there are countless delicacies in the mysterious Eastern Empire, and I've long wanted to taste them, so how could I miss such a good opportunity? ”

After Ferdinand III left, Emperor Chongzhen squinted his eyes at Wang Guoxing: "How many times has this Jinyiwei gone wrong?" ”

Wang Guoxing, whose back was almost soaked with cold sweat, suddenly knelt down and bowed: "Death to the minister!" ”

Bent his fingers and knocked on the table, Emperor Chongzhen snorted coldly: "For the last time!" I'll give you one last chance to figure out what Ferdinand III just said, or ...... Get up. ”

Otherwise, Emperor Chongzhen didn't say anything, but Wang Guoxing's heart was extremely clear.

After the frightened Wang Guoxing got up from the ground, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "Go find out why their consuls are so sensitive to the female archduchess, and find out how many illegitimate daughters and illegitimate children Ferdinand hauled." ”

Wang Guoxing bowed and responded, and then left in a hurry.

Now that Jinyiwei has made such a big mistake, he can't get rid of it anyway, so it's better to admit his mistake honestly and then do his errand well.

Wang Guoxing went out very quickly, and the speed of coming back was also very fast, only on the third day, Wang Guoxing brought back all the information that Emperor Chongzhen was interested in.

Things are not as Wang Guoxing imagined, the Jinyiwei on the European side is no longer reliable - in fact, the Jinyiwei is still the same Jinyiwei, and no one has other ideas.

I didn't get any information about Ferdinand III's illegitimate daughter, it was all because of an accident, an unexpected encounter between Ferdinand III and a noble lady, and then after some clouds and rains, Ferdinand III had this illegitimate daughter.

However, even Ferdinand himself did not know that he had such an illegitimate daughter, and if it were not for the death of the husband of the noble lady, the family would no longer be able to support it.

Ferdinand had only learned that he had an illegitimate daughter a week before he arrived on Xinhua Island, and there was no way for Jin Yiwei to find out what happened ten years ago in Europe.

At the same time that Ferdinand had just arrived on Xinhua Island, some of the information about Avril Lavigne, the illegitimate daughter of Ferdinand III, had also been sent back, and at the same time, people were already being planted around her.

Emperor Chongzhen, who had been having a headache about whether the third Zhu Ciyi wanted to marry Ferdinand III's daughter, finally didn't have a headache.

The Archduchess of Bavaria was not a casual title, as Ferdinand III's mother was Maria Anna from Bavaria.

In order to commemorate his mother and to show the importance he attached to this illegitimate daughter, Ferdinand III decided to give her the title of Grand Duchess of Bavaria.

And this title also means that Avril's identity will be noble, and it can be matched with Zhu Ciyi, the third prince of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, if it's just like this, then Emperor Chongzhen won't care too much - his own son, there is no problem that he is not worthy of a female archduke of a barbarian country, and the main problem is to see if the third child is willing.

But the title of Archduchess of Bavaria brings not only the question of Evel's identity, but also a question of territory.

If the third child and Avril marry, then the most direct consequence is that the third child will legally become the king of Bavaria, as for the original Duke of Bavaria, who cares if he dies?

Even, if the third Zhu Ciyi is powerful enough, then the position of the Holy Roman Emperor is not impossible to stretch out - this is an empire, God does not take it, but suffers from it!

Emperor Chongzhen, who was under no pressure to sell his son, naturally agreed with Ferdinand III's proposal, and even said that the Ming Dynasty would also express it.

For example, the canonization of the third prince Zhu Ciyi as the king of Jin, Avril will be the upright princess of Jin, and the fief of the two will be arranged in Bavaria according to Ferdinand III's wishes, and the Ming will build a palace for the two and provide guards and troops.

A dark deal to sell children took place under the sun, and except for Zhu Ciyi and Avril, who had no idea, the rest of the people were very satisfied with the deal.

It didn't take a single sword to get such a piece of land as Bavarali, which was naturally a great thing for Emperor Chongzhen, and it would be even more perfect if he could pocket the entire Holy Roman Empire!

For Ferdinand III, in this deal, he will take advantage of too many to count!

According to his agreement with Emperor Chongzhen, Bavaria will become Avril's dowry, and it will be incorporated into the Jin Mansion of the Ming Empire in the future.

In this way, it is natural for the Ming to bear the burden of protecting Bavaria, such as garrisons.

And the strength of Daming is obvious to everyone, and there must be no one who dares to do anything crooked about Bavaria.

This also means that once the war with those vassal states is lost, he will have the last way to retreat - Avril is his daughter, she hid in Bavaria, and someone dares to come to the door to trouble her?

Ferdinand III even wanted Avril to become the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, or to let Zhu Ciyi, the third prince of the Ming Dynasty, become the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, that would be perfect.

The reason is very simple, once Zhu Ciyi becomes the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, the Holy Roman Empire and the Ming Empire are tightly tied together, and after becoming a family, will the Ming Empire watch the Holy Roman Empire defeated by the vassal states of Europe?

The empire and the emperor, who can make a big deal for the sake of two merchants, will definitely not sit idly by and watch the King of Jin and the princess of Jin get angry in Europe, and then Europe will be able to return to a unified state again.

Moreover, can the Ming army go back then? Not allowed to stay in Europe? For their King Jin, why should they bear the military expenses?

The silver coins saved, as well as a large amount of taxes in the future, why will some of them fall into their pockets, right? Isn't it much better than it is now?

Emperor Chongzhen never expected that Ferdinand III would play such a bullshit idea.

If Ferdinand III had explained this purpose to Emperor Chongzhen from the beginning, what if Emperor Chongzhen had asked him to call his father-in-law?

After Emperor Chongzhen figured out Ferdinand III's thoughts, the marriage between Zhu Ciyi and Avril Lavril had already settled, and they could get married when the two children grew up.

Emperor Chongzhen, who had a ghostly heart, sent off Ferdinand III, who also had a ghost, and then received Innocent X.

After seeing Innocent X, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly felt a little powerless to complain.

In the portrait of Innocent X obtained by Emperor Chongzhen, Innocent X is an old and weak man on the outside, but extremely fierce and cunning on the inside, especially his sharp gaze indicates that he is a complete villain.

In reality, however, the image of Innocent X is much better than the image in the portrait - it seems that this ability to deviate from the figure painting is not only good at the painters of the Central Plains, but also the so-called realistic painters of Europa.

After some regular arguing, Emperor Chongzhen took the topic away: "I don't know what Pope Innocent thinks of Fushou Cream?" ”

"A miracle medicine from the East!"

Innocent X said with great certainty: "It must be God who gave the magic medicine through the hands of the Eastern Ming Empire, and every time I take the magic medicine, I can be received by God at the nearest distance!" ”

？？？

This magic medicine is a good thing, if you take a little more, maybe you will go straight to God!

However, Innocent X belongs to the kind of people who are still useful, and Emperor Chongzhen naturally doesn't want this guy to hang up so soon: "Although the magic medicine is good, don't take too much." ”
