The tide rises, the turquoise Pacific Ocean gently washes over Honolulu's white sands, and the salty sea breeze blows away the heat that characterizes the equatorial vicinity.

Near Villa Mathilde, a burly man in a white shirt and white trousers, who was considered very burly for his time, was walking by the sea with a slender boy of fifteen or sixteen years old. They were followed by a large group of gray-clad guards.

is taking a walk is a father and son, the old one doesn't need to ask, it is our eldest son Zhu Jishi, he came to this era at the age of 25, it was 18 years in a blink of an eye, and now he is a 43-year-old uncle. However, his body was surprisingly good, he was never sick, and he was still majestic when he rode the Great Ocean, and even he felt a little strange, and suspected that his body was affected by some unknown mysterious force when he crossed over—a good influence, of course. However, no matter how good his body is, Zhu Jishi can still find his aging in the mirror...... He knew that he might be able to live a very healthy and long life, but that one day he would leave this world. And the only ones who can continue their own bloodline and inherit the business they have created are their own children.

The person who is walking with him now is Zhu Guojie, the eldest of his many blood lineages. Now he is a handsome boy with a height of more than 1.70 meters, if he is in the next life, he will probably go to high school, right? Zhu Jishi looked at his son and thought to himself, although this kid is not the crown prince and has no chance to inherit a big empire, but now he is not bad. married his wife early, was still a British princess, and inherited the two positions of King of Hawaii and Duke of Hong Kong Island...... Small is a little smaller. But it's much better than when I was sixteen. And. You can't go any further! Anyway. His wives were all daughters of Queen Victoria......

Thinking of this, he suddenly stopped, looked back at his son, and said with a smile: "Jie'er, how was it last night?" ”

Yesterday was the second wedding of Zhu Guojie and Helena, not to mention extravagance and waste, this pair of golden boys and girls are also rich now, can they get married without extravagance? 50% of Jason Holdings' shares have been transferred to Zhu Guojie (before he turns 25, of course). The Kingdom of Hawaii pays the couple an annuity of £120,000 a year, and 30% of Hong Kong Island's taxes also belong to them.

However, after the wedding, the cave room opened Zhu Jishi's eyes, originally he thought that only Chinese had this habit, but he did not expect that the ancient royal families in Europe also had many strange customs. A young couple, who could no longer be considered "newlyweds", were stripped of their pajamas by the attendants in front of a group of men and women and the Episcopal bishop, and then placed on a large Western-style bed full of carved and painted Western clothes, covered with a quilt (this is Hawaii, how hot is that?). And then there will be a congratulatory message from Zhu Jishi and Prince Albert. Only then can the merit be considered complete.

"Very well, I told Helena a story last night all night. She was pleased. Zhu Guojie replied with a smile, this kid has a very cute smile, similar to when Zhu Jishi was young - the current Emperor Zhu has a beard and looks a little fierce.

Storytelling? Shouldn't it be a little Yanpony ride? Zhu Jishi frowned slightly, children in this era are too ignorant!

"Light Storytelling...... You can't have children. Zhu Jishi frowned and said, "Jie'er, your people need a prince who can inherit the throne, so that the country will be stable." ”

"My people...... Father, in Hawaii, I don't see a people who belong to me, they either belong to you or to Hawaii. Zhu Guojie's tone was full of helplessness and dissatisfaction, he had been in the Hawaiian Kingdom for some time, and seemed to be carefully observing this kingdom and the subjects of the kingdom that "belonged" to him and Helena.

Although the country is called "independent", it is actually a semi-colony under British control! What's worse is that the Kingdom of Hawaii seems to be a kingdom without "people", and the local natives of Hawaii do not identify with Zhu Jishi and Helena, the two airborne kings and queens. And the Chinese, the largest ethnic group in Hawaii, no one has applied for citizenship in the Kingdom of Hawaii, although the Ming Empire now recognizes dual citizenship, but they would rather be the obedient people of Emperor Zhu alone.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Hawaii can be said to be an "independent state" with few citizens and no sovereignty. Zhu Guojie and Helena are simply dispensable decorations.

Hearing his son's complaint, Zhu Jishi just smiled awkwardly, and then said, "Jie'er, you are my eldest son, and I will not treat you badly." Don't be in a hurry...... Don't worry, when I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely change you to a bigger country. ”

Can the country be replaced? That sounds a little fresh! Zhu Guojie frowned and looked at his father sternly, "Father, since I am the king of Hawaii, I have an unshirkable responsibility to this country and my subjects!" So I don't think it's necessary to change the country, Hawaii is good, I should make it better! ”

What a child. However, Zhu Jishi thought about it and seemed to think that it would be good if his son could really become a generation of Ming Jun in Hawaii. He had at least 20 years to make the people of Hawaii love him, to become the true ruler of Hawaii, and to take power away from the British......

Thinking of this, Zhu Jishi stopped, and his eyes became extremely serious: "Jie'er, do you really think so?" You used to want to be a scientist, don't you want to go to university? ”

"No, I need to go to college and learn how to govern a country." Zhu Guojie shook his head and said, "But I'm not going to study science, law and politics are what I need to study." I think...... I finished my studies at Chi Sai University in Hong Kong with Helena. After we returned to Hawaii after college, we planned to have our first child. ”

That is to say...... It will take a few years for him to become a grandfather, but this is fine, it is better to let Zhu Guoxiong be the father first, and it is better for Zhu Guoxiong's son to occupy the position of the eldest grandson. Thinking of this, Zhu Jishi suddenly smiled bitterly in his heart...... Time flies so fast, and I'm going to be a grandfather in the blink of an eye. Looking at the current trend, four generations of the same house is probably not far away, right?

"Okay." Zhu Jishi nodded and looked at his son, "You are the king here, and you are right to govern this place well." But you must remember that your people are predominantly Chinese, and they have a strong national culture that is not at all comparable to the indigenous people of Hawaii. If you want Hawaii to be truly peaceful, you have to combine the Chinese and the native. Hawaii is a small country that is so big, there can only be one culture, one people! This kind of culture can only be Chinese culture, and the nationality is naturally Han nationality. Do you understand? ”

"Father, what do you mean...... Assimilating Hawaii's Natives? Zhu Guojie hesitated. He was educated in England, and to be honest, the British "nation-state" was not doing well, inferior to France, Germany, and even Italy. Therefore, Zhu Guojie does not quite understand the importance of the "nation-state".

Zhu Jishi stopped, faced the vast Pacific Ocean, and said with some emotion: "Hawaii is in the center of the Pacific Ocean, the Ming Dynasty is on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, and the east coast of the Pacific Ocean will eventually become the home of the descendants of China." Jie'er, your position is very delicate, if you really want to make a difference, you can only be one of my Huaxia kings! And Hawaii can only be one of the summers! If you don't have that awareness, don't be the king of Hawaii. ”

"The son understands that the son has such an awareness!" Zhu Guojie actually didn't understand Zhu Jishi's words, let alone the difficult choice he and Helena would make in the future. "The retainer will not disappoint your father, the emperor, nor my subjects, the kingdom of Hawaii will definitely be governed in an orderly manner by the retainers, and this place will become a pearl in the Pacific Ocean."
