Chapter 799 Zheng Zhilong's Promise

(Thanks to the setting sun of the empire for casting precious monthly tickets, and thanks to Su people for their rewards for reading books, thank you.)

When Tian Chuan Song came to the capital, Zheng Zhilong was very excited. The emperor issued a decree. Tian Chuan Song was conferred the title of imperial wife. This is a great honor. It can be said that it is not high, but in the eyes of the civil servants, he, a former pirate who has surrendered, is still not in the hall of elegance, especially after being defeated by Su Tiancheng. For a while, Zheng Zhilong felt ashamed, thinking that everything he relied on , will be lost.Although Su Tiancheng gave him great comfort and enough trust, the fear in his heart was still hard to get rid of.

When he came to the capital, Zheng Zhilong was even prepared. Maybe he would not be able to return to the Southern Dynasty if he was impeached by the adults in the court. As long as he could keep his family and Zheng Chenggong, he was willing to bear all the responsibilities.

Unexpectedly, Su Tiancheng did what he said. Not only was Zheng Zhilong not punished by the emperor and the court, but he was also appointed as the imperial envoy of Zuoqian and became a civil servant of the court. Being named a civil official means that he has entered the imperial court and become a member of the scholar-bureaucrats, although his status is still a bit embarrassing.

Tianchuan Matsu was granted the title of imperial wife, which is a fundamental change. There are two difficulties in it. One is that Tachuan Matsumoto is Japanese, not from the Ming Dynasty. This is also a woman whose status is not stable. It was also looked at differently by other people. For so many years, although Zheng Zhilong has called the wind and rain in Quanzhou, Tian Chuansong, as the mistress of the Zheng family, has no status outside.Although Zheng Zhilong is rich, this cannot be changed. Zheng Zhilong's fortune is mainly due to Tian Chuansong. [

The second is his own identity, which still brings a lot of stains to the family.At the beginning, I didn't think about being able to stand out in the imperial court. I asked Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Chenggong to take part in the imperial examination. I just thought that there would be scholars in the family, real scholar-bureaucrats, and a real change in the family's impression.From this point of view, Zheng Zhilong never dreamed that his wife could be granted the title of imperial wife.

What does Madam Gaoming mean? From now on, Tian Chuansong doesn't have to bow down when he sees court officials.Enjoying the imperial salary, the Zheng family began to truly step into the ranks of the scholar-bureaucrat family. From then on, no one dared to question Zheng Zhilong's origin, let alone Ta Chuanmatsu's being Japanese.

The complete change of the identity of the Zheng family made Zheng Zhilong feel elated.

Of course, Zheng Zhilong thanked the two people from the bottom of his heart.One is the emperor and the other is Su Tiancheng. He even felt that being defeated by Su Tiancheng this time was a generous gift from God to the Zheng family. If he hadn't been defeated by Su Tiancheng, how could he have such a good opportunity.

During the days of waiting at the official post, Zheng Zhilong was immersed in great joy, counting the time every day to see when Tian Chuansong would come to the capital.

the end of the first month.Tian Chuan Song finally came to the capital, and the escort of Tian Chuan Song to the capital was naturally the soldiers of the Jiangning Camp.

Knowing that Tian Chuansong came to the capital, Su Tiancheng also rushed to the official post.

After entering the room, Su Tiancheng found out.Tian Chuan Song's face was stained with tears.

After seeing Su Tiancheng coming in, Tian Chuansong pulled Zheng Zhilong, and the two knelt down in front of Su Tiancheng.

Su Tiancheng was taken aback. Zheng Zhilong was the censor of the Zuoqian Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Tian Chuansong was the imperial concubine's wife. Kneeling down in front of him, wouldn't it be a violation of the rules.

He hurried to help Zheng Zhilong, Tian Chuansong is a woman, Su Tiancheng is not easy to do it.

At this time, Ta Chuan Song spoke.

"Master Su, I am a woman, I don't know how to thank you for your kindness and virtue. Master Su is the benefactor of the Zheng family, the benefactor of the husband and the concubine. Repay Master Su."

"Madam Zheng, don't say that, it's all the grace of the emperor."

Zheng Zhilong also spoke.

"My lord, I understand everything. The Zheng family is able to have today because of your kindness. This official swears that if the Zheng family does something against the wishes of your lord, the sky will be thundered, and future generations will always do it." servant."

"Master Zheng, don't say that. Get up quickly. I don't dare to accept such a great gift. If you don't get up, I will also kneel down."

After Su Tiancheng said this, Zheng Zhilong and Tian Chuansong got up.

The eunuch soon came to the official post. [

Su Tiancheng, Zheng Zhilong, and Tian Chuansong entered the Forbidden City. Someone had already taught Tian Chuansong and Zheng Zhilong the ceremony of receiving the decree. Su Tiancheng was familiar with all this. The reason why he came to the Forbidden City was to bid farewell to the emperor. The emperor changed his mind. , Zheng Zhilong and Tian Chuansong need to stay in the capital. Su Tiancheng is very clear about what this means. The navy controlled by the Zheng family still belongs to the imperial court. Of course, such a change occurred because someone in the imperial court made a suggestion .

After leaving the Forbidden City and returning to the official post, Zheng Zhilong took out a wooden box from the room.

Su Tiancheng felt a little strange, where did Zheng Zhilong get so many wooden boxes.

"My lord, when I came to the capital this time, I brought a total of three wooden boxes, which contained some strange jewels. I left one wooden box, which is enough to live in the capital. Please accept this box of jewels with a smile." , I have already entrusted someone to write letters to Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Chenggong, and they will definitely act according to your lord's orders. I didn't think that I would stay in the capital and want to follow my lord, but unfortunately I have no chance."

"Master Zheng is too polite. Respect is worse than obedience. I just accepted it. The capital is very complicated. I suggest that Master Zheng make more connections. When the Zheng family was in Quanzhou, they also had some connections in the capital, which consolidated these relationships. , it will definitely be beneficial to the Zheng family, and as for the Fujian matter, Lord Zheng doesn’t need to worry too much, Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Chenggong will definitely be able to do a good job.”

"Xiaguan still said the same thing. Your Excellency's kindness to the Zheng family will never be forgotten by the descendants of the Zheng family. The next official discussed with his wife and asked Zheng Chenggong to treat you like a father. What is wrong with Zheng Chenggong? , Your Excellency will punish you."

Su Tiancheng was leaving the capital soon, and was going back to Dengzhou.

Zhu Shenxin and Chen Yuanyuan were naturally reluctant. Chen Yuanyuan, who was born in a brothel, actually had a calm personality. She didn't like to be in the limelight, let alone show her face. After a few days, Zhu Shenxin felt that this Chen Yuanyuan really didn't want to do it. You know the rules when you talk and do things, but the time is too tight, and you can't contact Chen Yuanyuan's family, so the wedding has not yet been held, but Chen Yuanyuan has already enjoyed the treatment of a concubine, has a special suite, and has a maid to serve her Yes, there is money to spend every month, plus the dowry money specially sent by Tian Hongyu, it was also handed over to Chen Yuanyuan.

Su Tiancheng didn't have any serious parting injuries. He even expected that he would return to the capital in a short time. During the time in the capital, he, Lu Shanji, Xu Eryi and others had a lot of troubles. When discussing matters in Liaodong for the first time, Lu Shanji and Xu Eryi's views were somewhat consistent with his. They both believed that Liaodong should focus on stability and should not launch an attack for the time being. However, the news from Liaodong seemed that the time to attack was imminent. up.

When he was in the capital, Su Tiancheng also did one more thing, that is, wrote a secret letter to Hong Chengchou. Su Tiancheng made a clear request that no matter how the situation in Liaodong changed, the Jiangning camp must stick to the city, especially Daling For the three cities of Hecheng, Jinzhou City, and Ningyuan City, no matter what happens, there must be no mistakes in the three cities, unless all the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion are killed, and people must be present in the battle.What Su Tiancheng meant was actually to request that the Jiangning Battalion not be able to participate in the offensive of the Golden Tatars behind the team. I believe that Chen Xinjia would not dare to mobilize all the sergeants stationed at the Guan Ning Jin defense line. It's dangerous.

Su Tiancheng is no longer able to decide the affairs of Liaodong. Judging from various signs, the emperor is planning to launch an attack. Later Jin has always been the biggest disaster in the emperor's mind, far more than the bandits. The situation in Liaodong has changed. The emperor didn't want to keep guarding the Guan Ning Jin line of defense anymore. Chen Xinjia was just following the emperor's request to actively organize the preparations for the attack. This was in line with Chen Xinjia's wishes and he hoped to make immortal achievements.

Based on this basis, Su Tiancheng must return to Dengzhou as soon as possible, and the Jiangning battalion must make all preparations. Once the navy in Fujian is stabilized, he will start recruiting sergeants. In the letter written by Zheng Zhilong, there is one It is a very secret matter that no one knows about, that is, the 8 sergeants, including [-] elite sergeants, all followed Zheng Zhilong in the northern and southern expeditions. These people can directly enter the Jiangning Camp Yes, Zheng Zhilong also made a direct request and handed over the token to Su Tiancheng. In this way, there are more than [-] Jiangning battalion soldiers stationed in Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou. If there is a problem in Liaodong, Su Tiancheng will lead The [-] Jiangning battalion soldiers who rushed to Liaodong can be used in emergencies, and the remaining [-] soldiers in Dengzhou and other places are enough to maintain stability.

Looking at Zhu Shenxin and Chen Yuanyuan who were crying silently, Su Tiancheng couldn't say anything, he also realized that Chen Yuanyuan is really a good girl, gentle and considerate, understanding, and she doesn't have a trace of quackery on her body. Girlfriend, she was much stronger, and he could tell that Zhu Shenxin knew Chen Yuanyuan very well.

Su Tiancheng himself did not expect that among the eight beauties of the Qinhuai River, the three most influential people, Gu Hengbo, Liu Rushi and Chen Yuanyuan, had all become his women. When he traveled through time, he did not expect such a situation to exist today. I am afraid it is also a heart attack. (to be continued...)
