Chapter 430: What Everyone Needs (First Shift, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Nanjing, as the southern capital of the Ming Dynasty, once upon a time, there were many nobles living here, so that the mansions inside and outside the city were lined up, even after Yongle moved north, there were still many princes and nobles who stayed in the southern capital, and in the past two hundred years, the princes and nobles of the past dynasties continued to build and repair their mansions, but also made these mansions full of buildings and water pavilions, the appearance of splendor, in this wealthy mansion to enjoy the glory and wealth of the world.
Once upon a time, the masters who should have been in peace with the country surrendered to the alien race for the sake of their own glory and wealth, but in the end they were driven out of the mansion and lived in the streets.
And although this Nanjing has now become the Nanjing of the Ming Dynasty again, and has returned to the Ming Dynasty, the extremely luxurious mansions of these princes and lords have never returned to their former masters, but have become the mansions of the nouveau riche in the court.
And for the people who actually lived in these mansions, it seems that they did not consider the feelings of their original owners at all, and continued to repair the mansions to restore them to their original splendor in order to restore them to their original splendour, after all, most of these mansions have been abandoned for more than ten years.
"Well, this pavilion needs to be rebuilt......
Tang Xianyue, the military secretary of the Longwu Dynasty, who was in the courtyard, said that he was a civil servant, but with the identity of his father-in-law, he also landed a house in Nanjing. This mansion once belonged to Dong Ning Bo, as for the so-called Dong Ning Bo after being driven out of the Bo Mansion after the Qing Dynasty, he has long been missing, and now, as the new owner of this mansion, Tang Xianyue is naturally more concerned about how to make this Bo Mansion recreate the magnificence of yesterday.
"Now the price of Taiwanese wood is cheap, and it is very suitable for renovating houses......
Bending slightly to follow Tang Xianyue's side was the shopkeeper of the well-known construction workshops in the city, and what these construction workshops liked to do most was to repair the old mansions for these dignitaries, after all, they were all willing to spend money without exception. But not all the builders are qualified to repair the mansion, because there are too many mansions that need to be repaired, so it took more than a year to take the turn of the Tang family, after all, compared to those generals who were reused by the King of Fujian, Wenchen like Tang Xianyue, and a little inferior, before, this Tang mansion was slightly renovated, and now since the workshop is free, it is natural to overhaul it.
"And the window paper, now there is that transparent big glass in Jiangbei, if it rests on the window, the room is very bright......"
Regarding the shopkeeper's suggestion, Tang Xianyue did not refuse, but said.
"The old man doesn't know about glass, but glass is always too valuable, so it can be used in the study, and as for other places, it is better to use window paper!"
When he said this, he was a little envious of the bright and bright rooms in the Shizi's Mansion, and most of the windows in the Wangfu and Shizi's Mansion in Nanjing were replaced with transparent glass from Jiangbei - but it was a gift from the King of Huai, otherwise, the king was really reluctant to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy glass and press it on the window. The king is reluctant, let alone him? However, it is not impossible to install two-sided glass in the study.
Just when his words fell, I saw a girl trotting over in a hurry, and then said urgently.
"Master, Miss has just come back, Madame will let you go!"
Yahuan is Madame's personal maid ring, when she spoke, Tang Xianyue saw that her eyes were red, as if she had been wronged, it must not have been wronged, could it be...... His face changed slightly, and Tang Xianyue, who was a little unhappy, said sorry to the shopkeeper of the workshop, and when he ordered someone to send off the guests, he walked into the back house with a cold face, and when he arrived at the back house, before he entered the house, he heard a muffled cry from the house.
After entering the house, seeing that the wife and daughter were hugging and crying there, Tang Xianyue said unhappily.
"Madam, what kind of decency is it to cry and cry like this, and let the next generation see it, wouldn't it be undignified! And you ......."
Looking at her tearful daughter, Tang Xianyue said with a straight face.
"Now that you have married into the palace and are the concubine of the prince, you need to abide by women's morals everywhere, how can you be as reckless as you were at home in the past, so that you can return home and let outsiders know about it, wouldn't it make people laugh at my Tang family!"
In Tang Xianyue's opinion, her daughter must have felt that she had been wronged, so she would go back to her parents' house to seek comfort, but her daughter forgot that she was not married to an ordinary family, and how could she go back to her parents' house at every turn like an ordinary woman. If you let outsiders know, where will he put Tang Xianyue's face? When he reprimanded his daughter, he naturally showed no mercy, but the more he reprimanded him like this, the more aggrieved his daughter was over there......
Finally, in the midst of her father's reprimand, the princess could no longer control the grievances in her heart. Instead, he looked up at his father and cried.
"Dad, you only know that outsiders will laugh at the Tang family, and you don't even ask why your daughter is like this? The daughter abides by the woman's way in everything, but he ...... But how could he ever have a little bit of etiquette and shame......"
Before she finished speaking, she began to cry again, and the grievances in her heart may only be known to her......
Tang Xianyue was a little surprised by her daughter's aggrieved appearance, especially her daughter's words, which made his heart churn at that time.
Did he do something?
Almost after learning that the princess had left the princess's mansion and returned to her parents' house, Feng Xifan, who knew that her goal had been achieved, smiled coldly.
"It's done!"
In the past few days, he has been planning this matter, and just a few hours ago, he finally revealed the news to the princess through the people in the palace. Now, everything is going as he expected.
When he left the Shizi Mansion and passed by the Huai Wang's Mansion, Feng Xifan, who felt that everything was under control, suddenly became confused, and he suddenly thought that there seemed to be a loophole in this matter, that is, the Huai Wang...... What if King Huai had a good medicine in his hand that could cure his heart disease?
King Huai, King Huai......
Thinking that King Huai had cured the king's terminal illness back then, Feng Xifan couldn't help but look towards the north with some worry, and even prayed secretly.
King Huai!
I'm afraid that King Huai is the only variable now!
"What if King Huai goes to Fujian?"
As winter turns to spring, with the melting of ice and snow, after a few days of flooding, the water transportation of the Yellow River and the Grand Canal is unimpeded again, and the Qinghe River in Hebei Province has once again resumed its former liveliness.
It's just that in this bustle, the breath of Qinghe seems to be different from the past, these days the scholars in Qinghe Academy have repeatedly written to petition King Huai, and the content of the book is very simple - please kill Zheng Zhilong!
Everyone knows that Zheng Zhilong is the father-in-law of King Huai, but no one in the world knows that King Huai is loyal and righteous, and who doesn't know that King Huai is as evil as hatred, and he has always had an attitude of never letting go of traitors. It's just that what disappointed people was that King Huai seemed to have heard about it. didn't show any attitude at all, and people naturally knew why King Huai didn't express his position, because Zheng Zhilong was his father-in-law.
The father-in-law is also one of the three fathers!
On one side is public, and on the other side is private. Not to mention that Zheng Chenggong is difficult to do, even Zhu Mingzhong, who is his son-in-law, is also difficult to do, and because of this, Zhu Mingzhong chose to keep his door closed, of course, the reason for the outside world is that the king concentrates on military affairs, and even in order to show that the king concentrates on military affairs, the military government also deliberately "leaked" secrets, and the loyal army will soon wave the Northern Expedition.
The Northern Expedition of the Loyal Army!
Indeed, from a few years ago to the present, more than 100,000 troops have been mobilized in the land of Jiangbei, hundreds of thousands of recruits are being recruited and trained, and millions of tons of grain and grass are being transported to the north immediately after the river transportation is opened. Everything is indicative - the Loyal Army is about to go on a northern expedition.
Since the Northern Expedition of the Loyal and Righteous Army, the king naturally has no time to take care of "family affairs", but family affairs are always unavoidable!
Maybe externally, Zhu Mingzhong can push it out, but at home, he has to face his family!
"If you don't kill, it's not enough to be angry!"
Facing Zheng Ling, Zhu Mingzhong's tone was a little low, although when he said this, Zheng Ling's face suddenly turned pale.
If you don't kill, it's not enough to be angry!
This is the most basic common sense. Besides, Zhu Mingzhong also didn't have any good feelings about Zheng Zhilong, so his attitude towards Zheng Zhilong was very clear - kill!
Perhaps, he is Zheng Ling's father, but from the perspective of national law, Zheng Zhilong must be killed. If you don't kill this person, how can you comfort Emperor Longwu and the millions of people who were slaughtered by the Manchus because of their surrender? How can we comfort the world?
This man's sin is too great. It can be said that the sin is unforgivable! How can such a person not be killed?
"But...... Can't be killed! ”
After a long sigh, Zhu Mingzhong closed his eyes in some pain, he couldn't kill!
If you want to do it but can't do it, this is the most painful thing.
Zheng Zhilong deserves to die, but who in the world dares to kill him?
After all, he is Zheng Chenggong's father, and those scholars say one by one, "I want to kill the Zheng family to thank the world", but in the 10,000-year-old court, who dares to say that he will kill? Even an idiot knows what it means to kill Zheng Zhilong.
But everyone knows that Zheng Zhilong's crime is extremely heinous, and it is an unforgivable crime, and because of this, no one will come forward to suggest that the emperor let him go. After all, no one wants to put the anger of the people of the world on themselves.
So at this time, everyone chose to be silent. No one advocated killing, nor did anyone advocate pardon. Everyone is watching.
"Great, great, yes, it's the concubine who embarrassed the king......"
Zheng Ling, who had no blood on her face, saw the strangeness in the king's expression, she had also read the newspaper these days, and she also knew that people were not only staring at her brother, but also at King Huai, because of her relationship, because she was Zheng Zhilong's daughter, although she didn't have the slightest impression of her father, but now for the first time, she realized that being Zheng Zhilong's daughter brought pressure to her identity.
Even, her background has affected the king, affecting the reputation of the king, which makes her heart not difficult, but as soon as the words came out, the tears immediately flowed, at this time, she even wanted to persuade the king to write a letter of resignation, but she could only cry silently.
After a while, she finally made up her mind, and finally said on her knees.
"The king, the concubine was born unclean, and she has insulted the king's name, and she has cleared the king's name, so please ask the king to divorce the concubine......"
Before she finished speaking, Zhu Mingzhong helped her up, looked at Zheng Ling, who was already full of tears, and said.
"Ling'er, what are you talking nonsense, you are you, he is him, even if he is your father, what does his fault have to do with you? Besides, who in the world doesn't know the loyalty of the eldest brother? Who doesn't know? ……”
Helping Zheng Ling, Zhu Mingzhong, who originally wanted to comfort Zheng Ling, naturally thought of Zheng Chenggong's reaction after learning of Zheng Zhilong's death in history when he mentioned Zheng Chenggong. Even the news of Zheng Zhilong's death indirectly led to Zheng Chenggong's untimely death.
When he heard about his father's death, he looked like this. So now that Zheng Zhilong is alive and well, it may not make him feel the slightest ease, I'm afraid it's just more difficult.
"Now, the eldest brother has become ill, what does the father's fault have to do with the son? What does it have to do with you? If it's hard to do, it's the hardest thing to do now big brother......"
After this sigh, Zhu Mingzhong's dissatisfaction with Zheng Zhilong naturally deepened a little, in another time and space, the news of your Zheng Zhilong's death indirectly killed Zheng Chenggong, in this time and space, your life was saved, but it made Zheng Chenggong depressed and even depressed.
It is really rare to pit a son to this extent!
Zheng Ling, who was held in the arms of the king, looked at Zhu Mingzhong, although the concern in his eyes warmed her heart, but when she heard the king mention her brother, Zheng Ling, who had been raised by her brother since childhood, was even more nervous.
"I heard that the eldest brother is sick, the king, the king, but there is a good way to ......"
Shaking his head, Zhu Mingzhong sighed.
"Heart disease still needs heart medicine, even if there is a good doctor, I am afraid it will not cure the eldest brother's disease, after all, this disease is a heart disease!"
It's just a heart disease, no need to guess, Zhu Mingzhong knows why Zheng Chenggong is an infatuated man and a woman for Yu, because he has no way to solve the problem in front of him.
Father and son cannibalize each other, and heaven is intolerable!
How many people have faced this kind of taboo since ancient times? I'm afraid that except for Zheng Chenggong, no one else in history has faced such a choice.
Righteous annihilation, everyone will say so, but when it is the turn of the head, it is not so simple. Even, for Zheng Chenggong, even if he kills his relatives in righteousness, this kind of cannibalistic tragedy of father and son will become a stain on his life, so that he will be affected by it for the rest of his life.
But if he doesn't kill him, how will Zheng Chenggong deal with himself?
Zheng Zhilong's sins are too deep and heavy!
He was a sinner of the Ming Dynasty, and it was he who indirectly killed Emperor Longwu. Millions of people have been killed!
If such a sinful person is spared, how will he correct the law in the future?
Killing, father and son cannibalism, against human morality! What if there is great righteousness?
If you don't kill, where is the righteousness! Where is the law of the imperial court!
Kill, don't!
Don't kill, and don't!
If you don't kill, how can you convince the world!
It is precisely because of this dilemma that Zheng Chenggong, who is already upright, fell into a dilemma, causing him to become depressed and even vomit blood......
Of course, Zhu Mingzhong didn't say these words to Zheng Ling, if it weren't for the eyeliner placed next to Zheng Chenggong, he probably didn't know, Zheng Chenggong vomited blood and passed out in a coma in a hurry after learning the news, and now his condition is getting worse day by day.
Could it really be that Zheng Chenggong will die next year, as in history?
Thinking of mentioning Zheng Chenggong's worsening condition in the intelligence, Zhu Mingzhong's mood sank, could it be said that this is fate?
Could it be that Zheng Chenggong's fate cannot be changed? Although he wanted to save him, there was nothing he could do about this psychological condition.
"Yes, yes, ......"
Looking up at Zhu Mingzhong, Zheng Ling said softly.
"Over the years, if there is no eldest brother to raise you, I'm afraid, I'm afraid...... We, can't we do something for Big Brother? ”
If he could, Zheng Ling certainly hoped that the king would be able to treat his eldest brother, after all, the king was a disciple of the divine doctor, and he was known as the divine doctor when he was in the army. If only he could heal his eldest brother......
But she also knew that there was almost no possibility in this, not to mention that the king relied on a few miracle elixirs left by his master to cure those incurable diseases. Now that the eldest brother is in Fujian, and the king is the king of Huai, and now it is the key to the Northern Expedition, how can the king leave state affairs behind? Go to Fujian to treat my eldest brother!
But, but ...... That's her brother, after all.
Looking at Zheng Ling with tears in his eyes, Zhu Mingzhong, who knew what she was thinking, sighed.
"...... Now"
After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Mingzhong said,
"I'm afraid all I can do is to find a way to see if I can divert the world's attention from now on......"
That's the only way, as for asking others to lobby from it, this kind of thing, he won't do it, and it is impossible to do it, he can accept Yongli's pardon of Zheng Zhilong, but he will never take the initiative to meddle in this matter. Even now, what he is going to do is for Zheng Chenggong, and of course, more importantly, for the world......
It's not just for Zheng Chenggong!
It's not just to distract the world. But because the time is ripe for the Northern Expedition, it can no longer be delayed.
Now Zheng Zhilong is a variable, who knows, what kind of variables will be held off any longer?
Out of caution or as originally planned, it was time for the Northern Expedition. Jiangbei was ready for the Northern Expedition.
It can't be put off any longer!
Of course, another advantage of the Northern Expedition now is that it diverts the attention of the people of the world from the Zheng family's family affairs to another matter, and of course, it can also keep oneself out of the matter. No longer like now, you will be tied up by that event.
Once the army goes on a northern expedition, then everyone's attention will be shifted from Zheng Zhilong's body to this major matter, who will care about Zheng Zhilong at that time, as for Zheng Chenggong, no one in the world will care about how to deal with this matter at that time.
The most important thing is the Northern Expedition!
