(Chapter 393 is heavy.,I'm really sorry.,Now the content between 393-395 has been modified.,Tears run T_T.,In order to show your humility.,Today's three more...... )

Where is China?

Wherever the Chinese go, it is both the land of China and China!

Who said this?

For Zheng Xiaru, he naturally knew who this sentence came from, it was the Huai King of the Ming Dynasty, of course, when he first said this, it was just a brief envoy of the Ming Jianghuai Scripture.

It is precisely because of these words that Zheng Xiaru came to Taiwan, of course, he did not come voluntarily, and even came to Taiwan as an exile, but this did not prevent him from being appointed as the prefect of Wannian Mansion at the same time a few months ago due to meritorious service.

Wannian Mansion!

This is located in the northern basin of Taiwan's newly built city, built in the basin between a piece of high ground, its city is one zhang five feet high, the top of the city wall is one zhang two feet wide, north and south three miles long, east and west four miles, the city wall is completely built by the stone strips mainly from the inner lake Jinmian Mountain, this Wannian Mansion City can be said to be the only city in Taiwan that has the protection of the city wall.

To a certain extent, whether it is the establishment of counties in Taiwan or the prefect of the private commission, according to the old rules, it is overstepping. However, in these years and months, who will say anything, not to mention that now King Huai opened his mansion in Qinghe, set up six officials, appointed civil officials to the second rank, and military attaches to the first grade, so how can there be any overstepping the system, at most it is a private county.

But the establishment of this county is also a contribution to the expansion of territory in the Ming Dynasty. What's more, the counties set up here are different from others, and even the construction of the Wannian City in this basin is not because of the need to govern Taiwan, but to welcome the arrival of the imperial court.

Zheng Xiaru, who was in Keelung Harbor again, was wearing a four-grade civil official robe at this time, standing quietly at the entrance of the harbor, looking out at the open sea, the former exile became the current Wannian Prefect, and also the highest status civil official in Taiwan, and with the establishment of the Wannian Mansion, the control of nearly 100,000 exiles in Keelung and Wannian was also transferred to the local government by the army. It can be said that the current Zheng Xiaru has the power of life and death for more than 100,000 people, exiles and hard labor prisoners, especially for the latter two, and his life and death can be decided in one word.

With the arrival of families of homeless or forced servants by boat, the population of the Ten Thousand Years Mansion is also increasing. For Zheng Xiaru, who is the prefect of Wannian, he knows very well that there will only be more and more exiles here in the future, and the officials will be exiled by the clan, and once the Northern Expedition is successful, those officials will be exiled to the clan for ten thousand years.

In fact, the penal colony is more than 10,000 years?

Wannian Mansion, Zhancheng, Nantianmen, Pingnancheng...... These places will become the places where those people will be exiled in the future, Zheng Xiaru even thought of an old friend, that old friend's family has a great career, and his relatives are no less than 10,000 people, thinking that he was captured by the Qing captives after the defeat of the Qing army, and it was the old friend's activities that enabled him to escape, so he said to his son beside him.

"For the light, after you return to Qinghe this time, you must find a way, if it is Linyi Kefu, then your Uncle Xu's family will definitely be implicated, although the national law is greater than the private relationship, but the old love always has to be returned, this Xu family can not support more than 10,000 people, when the time comes, find a way to let them flow to 10,000 years, so it is good to be a father."

"Yes, father."

Zheng Weiguang replied respectfully on the side, he did not come to visit his father in Wannian, but as an assistant to the ceremonial official Zuo, he came here to welcome the arrival of the holy car, and on the occasion that was about to come, he was equivalent to the representative of King Huai. Of course, the reason why he was appointed was also so that he could visit Zheng Xiaru by the way and reunite their father and son, and he was naturally very clear about Zheng Xiaru.

"Father, if the child is not bad, I'm afraid it will only be two years, and you will be able to return to the court with the car."

When his father was exiled last year, Zheng Weiguang was worried about his father's future, but now that he knows the key, how can he not know why his father is in Wannian?

The reason why he was in Wannian was very simple - it was because King Huai regarded him as his confidant that he handed over the important place of Wannian Mansion to him.

"Returning to the court?"

His son's words made Zheng Xiaru stunned at first, and then sighed with a smile.

"You, you're still too young, for the light, you remember, as an official, you have to see more, learn more, do more, be cautious in words and deeds, this is the way to be an official, especially some words, you must not say, do you understand?"

Maybe the son doesn't know, but Zheng Xiaru doesn't know that there is a guest living in the rest garden built by his Zheng family in Yangzhou, although the person's name is Wang Shiyuan, but Zheng Xiaru still knows his identity from the mouth of that person, he is actually the fifth prince Zhu Cihuan.

Zheng Xiaru has never doubted the identity of the fifth prince Zhu Cihuan, after all, some people will always instinctively and even believe in some things without any reason, but what really set off a huge wave in his heart is another identity of King Huai.

"Brother Huang!"

It is not known whether this imperial brother is the imperial brother or the yellow brother, but one thing is for sure is that since then, he has deliberately observed King Huai, and the two are indeed so similar in the eyebrows.

In this way, everything is figured out.

Even now, whenever he learns that King Huai has made some unexpected moves, he knows the reason. Even for Zheng Chenggong, Li Ziyuan and others, they are all contemptuous, and what they think and think cannot escape selfishness, and only King Huai's every move is based on the world.

Helping Li Ziyuan's Northern Expedition is for the world, and giving up Kaifeng is also for the world.

As for what "a gentleman can be bullied", it is just a joke, perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, King Huai is a "true gentleman" who can be bullied, but Zheng Xiaru, as his confidant, knows very well that compared to Li Ziyuan's "traitor", King Huai is always loyal.

Great loyalty is like treachery, great treachery is like loyalty!

These words are not suitable for King Huai, because when Li Ziyuan regarded treachery as a "hero" and Zheng Chenggong as a "hero", King Huai had already regarded the world as his own, whether it was Li Ziyuan or Zheng Chenggong, they were just "courtiers of the Zhu family", when this courtier was a loyal minister, he could naturally tolerate it, but if the courtier became a non-minister, then he would naturally rebel against the minister.

What is loyalty? What is inverse?

When this thought came to mind in his heart, he naturally thought of the eternal monarch and ministers who had reached ten thousand years.

Still towards?

Will there be a day when the monarchs of Yongli will return to the court?

Of course, there is no definite answer in Zheng Xiaru's heart, for him, he knows what he needs to do in the next few months or years as the prefect of ten thousand years, he just needs to do a good job of this prefect, as for the rest, it is not something he needs to consider.

At this moment, Zheng Weiguang, who didn't know what his father was thinking, pointed to the sail point that appeared at the end of the horizon, and then said.

"Father, you see, this fleet is where the Holy Driver is?"

The flotilla of five warships adjusted the sails and headed in the direction of Keelung Harbor, after a long journey, Zhu Youlang stood on the bow of the ship, his eyes staring at Keelung getting closer and closer, but his mood was a little complicated.

When he was in Zhancheng, he even thought about living in Zhancheng for a long time, so that he would never live in that turbulent life again, but now, when he learned that King Huai could not afford to lose because "the holy car and the court are related to the foundation of my Ming Dynasty", he was inevitably a little disappointed.

Shouldn't you go to Nanjing?

Zhu Youlang wanted to ask, but he knew that this question could not be asked no matter what, and he didn't know the truth of people under the roof.

Nanjing obviously can't go.

At this moment, he felt a pair of soft wattles holding his hand, and when he looked back, it was the queen, only to see the queen looking at the land that was getting closer and closer, and asked.

"Your Majesty, this is Keelung, right?"

It seemed that Queen Wang, who asked this question, said without waiting for the emperor to answer.

"Your Majesty, in fact, this place is not bad, only a few hundred miles away from Fujian, now the world's soldiers and horses are in the Northern Expedition, the emperor is temporarily stationed in the imperial court in Wannian, and it is also the Huai King for the Jiangshan Sheji to be so, I want to stay until the Beijing division is restored, the Qing Dynasty is expelled from the customs, when the world is peaceful, the King of Jin, the King of Huai, the King of Yanping and Zhang Shangshu, General Li, will naturally welcome the emperor back to Beijing......"

The undisturbed Queen Wang behaved very calmly many times, in the past, and now, and even when she said this, she was reminding the emperor. Now King Huai can cover the sky with one hand and put the emperor in the name of welcoming the emperor for ten thousand years, but when the world is peaceful in the future, when the time comes, the king of Jin, Yanping and the ministers will naturally not let the emperor stay in the sea off the isolated island and be accompanied by Fanman.

"What the queen said is very true."

Jiang Guotai, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, said with a smile on the side.

"Your Majesty, at this critical time of the Northern Expedition, if the emperor still drives Nanjing, I am afraid that the King of Jin, the King of Huai, and Yanping will all need to return to Nanjing at the front line to welcome all the courtiers.

As one of the few dozen civil officials in the Yongli Imperial Court who escaped the catastrophe, Jiang Guotai knew very well that the fact that the imperial court was now sending people under the fence had not changed because of King Huai. Familiar with history books, how can he not know what the allusion of "coercing the Son of Heaven to order not to obey" is.

In this way, how could the King of Huai welcome the imperial court to Nanjing?

After all, Nanjing is now the "territory" of the king of Yanping.

Jin Domain, Huai Domain, Yanping ...... In the world of the Ming Dynasty, even if the Qing Dynasty retreated, these feudal towns are always the hidden dangers of the Ming Dynasty, and only God knows where they will go in the future.

Although he doesn't know what the future holds, Jiang Guotai knows very well that at least for now, it is impossible for this Huai King to abuse and kill the princes of the court like the Burmese. As for the future...... Just take it one step at a time.

"King Huai is loyal, how can I not know, King Huai does everything for the court, I naturally know."

Zhu Youlang smiled reluctantly, and at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking to himself.

"At least, it's better here than in Ava......"

Thinking of Yu Ava's experience, for Zhu Youlang, his only expectation may be to live a peaceful life with this for a few years......
