Chapter 979: How Can You Let Duo Go? (Ask for subscription)
"My Majesty, you look a little sad today! What's upset? β
Mary. When Mancini saw the frowning Emperor Zhu getting off the horse at the old mountain horse farm, he first lifted up his skirt and curtsy, and then sounded in a concerned tone.
She was now a girl in love, for she had fallen in love with the very boring Emperor of the East, for the Emperor was the most handsome king she had ever seen, and there was no one!
There are many people who are more handsome than Zhu Cihong, but those are not emperors, kings, grand dukes, not even princes and dukes! There wasn't that much money either......
The marriage of close relatives was really devastating to the appearance of the top elite in Europe in the 17th century...... It's ruined how many kings and queens have been!
Anyway, in Mary. Among the top European magnates that Mancini has access to, no one is more handsome than Zhu Cihong.
And the power and wealth of these top magnates cannot be compared with Zhu Cihong...... Zhu Cihong is the richest in the Ming Dynasty!
In addition, what makes this Italian girl overjoyed is that Zhu Cihong is still very young, only 28 years old this year, and she is full of vigor and vitality.
Moreover, years of abstinence and physical exercise, as well as the inheritance from Emperor Chongzhen, gave Zhu Cihong a slender and robust physique, coupled with his very neatly trimmed beard, he was definitely a standard beautiful man in the 17th century.
In the 17th century, the world's No. 1 rich and handsome man was undoubtedly Zhu Cihong!
Although this rich and handsome man is a bit boring, too serious, he doesn't like literature and art, and he is a bit of a fan of money, and a little murderous...... But none of that was enough to stop Mary. Mancini fell in love.
And Zhu Cihong has little resistance to a sixteen or seventeen-year-old, beautiful, exotic Italian beauty.
It's impossible to fall in love, a man who has held the power of the world for twelve or thirteen years has long refined a heart like iron and stone. But he was still very willing to be with Mary. Mancine dates and pretends to be in a relationship. It was very pleasant for him, and it was also very relaxing.
However, there is no suitable place for a date in Laoshan Palace, that is, to ride a horse together in the horse farm, or go to the mountain together, or go to the Chuhe River to row a boat.
Oh, there's also a hot spring that's pretty good, but Zhu Cihong and Mary haven't developed that level yet...... The two of them just held hands, nothing else, really nothing!
"There's an old acquaintance who is dying!" After saying this, Zhu Cihong threw the reins to one of the guards, and then stepped forward and kissed Mary on the cheekβhe would not kiss Mary's hand in front of others, because the emperor could not bend down easily.
Mary, who was kissed by Zhu Cihong, had a hot cheek, and then showed a happy smile, and took the initiative to hold Zhu Cihong's arm. Together, they walked towards a very elaborate pavilion, where the French cook brought by Mary had prepared a 17th-century French meal for them. The two would have lunch there before riding together...... It seems to be quite romantic!
"Who's going to die?" Mary asked.
"Anton is the capital of Duoduo!" There was no sadness in Zhu Cihong's tone, "I haven't actually seen him in person...... Because he is my enemy! β
"Shouldn't it be a good thing that the enemy is dead?" Mary looked at Zhu Cihong in surprise, blinked her eyes wide, and suddenly said, "Oh, I know...... He must be a very hateful bad guy who has committed a lot of crimes, so you want him to receive a righteous sanction instead of dying without receiving it. β
After listening to Mary's words, Zhu Cihong suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Mary, rolled his eyes, and then laughed: "Okay! Mary, you've helped me solve a big problem...... Say, what reward do you want? β
Solved the problem? What the hell is going on? Mary. Mancini widened his already big eyes, and looked at Emperor Zhu in a daze, as if he was thinking about what to ask this man who was awake to the power of the world?
Mary thought to herself: this man has everything, but don't seem too greedy at first...... Just want a property in Tangquan Town!
The real estate in Tangquan Town is not cheap, but Emperor Zhu happens to be the largest real estate developer in the Ming Dynasty, and those expensive real estate are actually developed and built by the real estate company under the Royal Chamber of Commerce...... Therefore, Zhu Cihong, who gave away a Western-style house with a single courtyard in a somewhat remote location, did not feel distressed at all, and the next day he was even happier to hold a meeting between the two governments in the Imperial Palace.
The civil and military ministers who participated in the meeting seemed a little worried, and there have been a lot of troubles in the Ming Dynasty recently!
Although the current national strength and financial strength of the Ming Dynasty have reached their peak, the enemies of the Ming Dynasty seem to be growing as well as the national strength and financial strength!
It was originally a first-class Kou, a Dongyu. Now Liukou has become Dashun Kingdom, and Dongyu has become Andong Town...... The town of Andong has been suppressed for the time being, but it has not perished yet!
And the Great Shun Kingdom is stirring up trouble in the south again, and after fighting Burma and Siam, the Ming Dynasty can no longer ignore it, otherwise the Celestial Empire system, which was finally restored, will collapse.
Later, there were three more Mongolian Khalkhas, and there were Spain and Rakshasa thousands of miles away - these two countries came from the sea and the ice and snow, and they couldn't get along with the Ming Dynasty!
Then there was a commotion on the Japanese side, and the Satsuma clan actually opposed the shogunate's submission to the Ming Dynasty, and therefore colluded with Spain to fall together!
Therefore, there are four wars that must be fought in front of the Ming Dynasty - one is to fight the Rakshasa Kingdom and the Mongolian three tribes in the Khalkha Mongols, one is to fight with Spain at sea, one is to support the Japanese shogunate to fight Kagoshima, and the other is to aid Siam.
Now Anton Town is looking to be in trouble again because of Duoduo's death......
Although the military and financial strength of the Ming Dynasty is strong, it seems that it can't cope with so many wars together!
Emperor Zhu Cihong of the Ming Dynasty suddenly coughed, interrupting the thoughts of a group of ministers with sad faces, and everyone looked up at the Great Emperor.
Zhu Cihong's face was gloomy and terrifying, and he seemed to be about to get angry soonβhe didn't know whose head the wrath of the Son of Heaven would fall on.
"I received a secret recital from the Jinyi Guard, saying that the red-clothed Rakshasa soldiers who appeared on the battlefield of the Khalkha Mongols were all hired by Duoduo, the protector of the capital of Anton, with a lot of money...... In the past, Duoduo committed great crimes, killing countless of my soldiers and civilians, and repeating my great power. If, after forgiveness, you still do not repent, collude with the rakshasas, commit crimes on our borders, and betray the country to seek glory, then it is an unforgivable sin! β
What do you mean?
What does the emperor want to do?
Is this to take advantage of the fact that Duoduo is not dead to send troops to fight?
But the gate is so big, it can't be flat at all without three years and five years!
"Your Majesty," Wu Sanfu, the military advisor of the Generalissimo's Mansion, hurriedly played, "The matter of Jinyiwei's secret performance may not be true, and the imperial court cannot convict important ministers with one-sided words!" β
"Makes sense, too!" Zhu Cihong snorted, "I won't give Duoduo a chance to speak...... I will issue an order to summon Duoduo into the court to confront him! β
Confrontation?
Duoduo is dying, how can he enter the court? Delivered in a coffin?
"Your Majesty," said Li Ruolian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, "Duoduo was already terminally ill a few months ago, and the imperial court also sent an imperial doctor to see him, and he also said that his condition was serious and difficult to treat...... I'm afraid it's hard to enter the court. β
"That imperial doctor is a quack!" Zhu Cihong snorted, "I can't tell what disease Duoduo has?" So his words are not to be believed. β
In fact, Zhu Cihong knew what disease Duoduo had as soon as he heard it...... Most of them have cancer! If you get cancer this year, you are waiting to die, and there is no way to save it!
But Zhu Cihong won't let Duoduo go just because he can't save him!
He is Duoduo, the most dangerous and vicious enemy of the Ming Dynasty! How could Zhu Cihong put Duoduo down?
"Duoduo must have a ghost in his heart and didn't dare to enter the Hajj, so he pretended to be sick! How can such a carving insect trick deceive me? Zhu Cihong said in a straight voice, "Spread my will and summon Duoduo into the court!" β
