Imperial City, outside the noon gate.

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

But after all, he was born in a wealthy family, and during the time he studied in Nanjing City, he saw a lot of official families, but he was not timid.

"You don't need to be nervous, you don't need to say much when you enter the temple later, just follow my eldest brother's orders." Seeing Liu Guoxuan and Chen Jinnan clenching their fists, Zheng Sen said with a smile.

In fact, some of this was said to his fifth uncle Zheng Zhibao, Zheng Zhibao was illiterate and a rough man, but after all, he was a self-owned parent, and he couldn't say anything.

On the contrary, Zheng Hongkui looked at the doorway under the noon gate in a daze, he had taken the martial arts exam several times in the first half of his life, but now he wanted to depose the martial arts and ascend to the supreme imperial palace, and his heart was somewhat trance-like.

"The head of the family, Your Majesty is not as old as the weak crown and knows the harm of the Zheng family, can he tolerate me waiting?" Feng Xifan didn't know the bottom of his heart, and whispered to Zheng Sen.

In fact, they all know in their hearts that they can't tolerate it, this is the Ming Imperial City, and there are Ming guards with loaded guns everywhere.

Since entering the city of Beijing, there is no turning back.

"Don't underestimate Your Majesty's mind, someone is here." Zheng Sen saw a father-in-law coming from the noon gate, so he naturally knew that it was time.

"Who is Zheng Sen?" The little eunuch looked like he was on business.

"Father-in-law, I am." Zheng Sen hurriedly arched his hand.

"The emperor summoned you, although you will enter the palace with our family!"

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

Big brother, whether this time is a blessing or a curse, it's all up to you, Zheng Sen sighed in his heart, and then motioned to his subordinates behind him to follow.

……

"Your Majesty, the one at the head is Zheng Sen, the son of Zheng Zhilong!" Liu Hong gradually got closest to Zhu Cihong, and when he saw Zheng Sen and his party at the door, he pointed to Zheng Sen and said.

Zhu Cihong saw that Zheng Sen was also a young person, so he already had a good impression in his heart, and nodded slightly.

After all, except for him and Liu Hongji, the court and the central government are all a group of old Confucians, and they have no vitality at all every day.

When Zheng Sen approached, he saw that his aura was lofty and upright, and then he had a decision in his heart.

"Ten thousand dead Zheng Sen knocks on Your Majesty!" Zheng Sen walked to the front of the hall, lifted his robe and knelt under Zhu Cihong's throne, and then the generals of the Zheng family also knelt down one after another.

"Let's get flat!" Zhu Cihong raised his right hand and said.

Zhang Tianlu in the audience saw Zhu Cihong's face like this, and knew that Zhu Cihong was moving to use the Zheng family's thoughts, so he shook his head and was silent.

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

"Your father Zheng Zhilong didn't listen to the dispatch of the imperial court, and finally the Zheng family was in a catastrophe, and you can get lost and know how to return, I am very relieved." Zhu Cihong stood up from the dragon chair, walked to the imperial steps in front of the dragon chair and said softly.

"Back to Your Majesty, my deceased father said when he was dying, regretting that he was not at the beginning, things are already like this, and Sen can't change it, and now Sen just wants to serve the court and redeem his deceased father's sins." Zheng Sen arched his hands and said in a deep voice.

"Your father's business, I heard Liu Qing say, the Zheng family is no longer the same, after all, I have defended the coastal defense for my Ming Dynasty, and your father swore not to surrender in the naval battle of Dongning, and did not lose the reputation of my Han family, and the same is true of the battle of Huoluo Island.

I will, restore your father Zheng Zhilong's title, and Nan Anbo will inherit it from you. Zhu Cihong sighed slightly.

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

"Zheng Sen, thank Your Majesty Longen!" Zheng Sen immediately knelt down when he heard this, he didn't expect Zhu Cihong to be so kind.

"The deceased father is not the country first, Your Majesty is broad-minded and repays grievances with virtue, Sen is ashamed, and he is willing to give all his family wealth to serve His Majesty!" Zheng Sen didn't know whether he had an idea or an impromptu idea, so he continued.

"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 also donated, fight to the death for Your Majesty!" Zheng Zhibao scratched his head, as if he was a little distressed.

After all, their wealth did not fall from the sky, it was all desperately snatched from the sea, and it really takes courage to donate it now.

At that time, Zheng Zhilong was reluctant to leave Sulu because of that wealth, but at the critical moment, Zheng Zhibao was not allowed to drop the chain, and he came to the capital for only one purpose, to make the courtiers believe in 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 that the head of the family and several other elders knelt down, they immediately knelt down as well.

"I want to make you the governor of Taiwan, and I am ordered to form the Ming Nanyang Naval Division, what do you think?" Zhu Cihong said lightly.

"Your Majesty, Sen Cai is not able to take on such a big responsibility, and I hope that Your Majesty will take back your life, Sen is willing to be a pawn in the army, and die in battle for Your Majesty without regrets." Zheng Sen naturally refused to accept it, and said humbly.

"Hahaha, if you really want to be a pawn in the army, I'm afraid someone will be mad on the spot!" Zhu Cihong laughed when he heard this, and glanced at Liu Hongji.

"Your Majesty think twice! The Zheng family ...... "Seeing that Zhu Cihong really wanted to promote the Zheng family, Zhang Tianlu bowed down and admonished.

"Could it be that the Zheng family's wealth can't stop Zhang Aiqing's mouth? Zheng Sen, tell Zhang Aiqing, how much money you donated! Zhu Cihong glanced at Zhang Tianlu and said to Zheng Sen.

"The Zheng family suffered this catastrophe, half of the warships capsized, and the family assets also suffered losses, and a total of 24 million taels of silver can be donated to repay the emperor's favor." Zheng Sen estimated that he touched the flat road.

Hiss –

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

When the king of Anguo County copied his house for several years, I am afraid that the richest ones together are only this number.

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

However, when he went south to Sulu, he was in a hurry, and the industries in the interior of the Ming Dynasty had no time to sell, coupled with the large-scale expansion of Sulu and the war with the Europa, which greatly consumed the financial resources of the Zheng family.

"That's it! I have made up my mind, you Aiqing don't have to say much, Zhang Aiqing should also step down. Zhu Cihong lowered his face and said.

The Zheng family's large sum of money can really relieve the pressure on the household, and it also blocks the mouths of many people.

Zhang Tianlu knew that the matter was irreparable, so he retreated stupidly.

The figures reported by Zheng Sen also made Zhu Cihong's eyes shine, I used to hear Liu Hong gradually say that the Zheng family was rich, but I didn't expect it to be so rich, and he could be regarded as paying for the courage of Zheng Sen in front of him.

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

"When I ascended to this throne, I was only seventeen years old, don't you think Da Ming is doing well now?" Zhu Cihong spread his hands and smiled.

Zheng Sen was silent when he heard this, and still knelt in the main hall.

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

"Okay, don't excuse me, I don't like my mother-in-law's admiral." Zhu Cihong stiffened his face and said to Zheng Sen.

"Chen Zheng Sen...... Thanksgiving! ”

Zheng Sen turned his head and glanced at Liu Hongji, and saw that he nodded slightly at himself, so he dared to give up his hand.

"If you truly belong to my Daming, 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 working too hard recently, and his waist always felt sore, and he remembered the divine wine that Liu Hong gradually gave him.

"Oh, Liu Qing followed me into the Qianqing Palace to discuss matters!" After taking two steps, Zhu Cihong seemed to remember something, and turned back to Liu Hong.
