Hearing the queen suddenly ask about this, Hai Lanzhu's heart skipped a beat, her status has reached the point where she is, whether she talks or does things on weekdays, it is naturally impossible to be as casual as ordinary people, especially Zhang Yan, who is the queen, rarely asked about her husband's future plans, which made Hai Lanzhu even more surprised.

The thoughts in her heart were quick to plan, but Hai Lanzhu's face still looked casual.

"Queen Mother, you can ask the concubine, the concubine is just a woman, and she is too lazy to ask about the major affairs of the family and the country, and she doesn't dare to ask, besides, our lord is fighting outside all the year round, and it is rare to go home once a year, even if the concubine wants to ask, there is no place to ask."

Seeing Hai Lanzhu answer so carefully, Zhang Yan immediately understood that she had asked abruptly, and anyone would be wary.

She smiled, walked to Hai Lanzhu's side and sat down, took her hand and said softly: "Hai Lanzhu, you don't have to be nervous, Your Majesty and Xinguo Gong are not so much monarchs and ministers, but rather mentors and friends, you and I are also sisters, you might as well speak directly, if you talk like an ordinary minister's relatives and hide it, what is the meaning." ”

Hai Lanzhu looked at Zhang Yan's kind expression and felt the sincerity in her tone. Only then did he relax a little and said, "The concubine has heard the master say this matter once before. The lord once had an agreement with His Majesty that after pacifying the Manchu Tartars and the Liukou in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, he would lead the Jiangning army overseas to expand the territory for His Majesty, which was the wish of the lord and was also agreed by His Majesty.

It's just that now Niangniang suddenly asked about it, could it be that something had happened? ”

"Well...... this"

Zhang Yan hesitated for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty once told the palace two days ago that this matter may have changed somewhat. ”

"Change?"

Hailan Zhudai's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she blurted out: "Niangniang, are you saying that Your Majesty regrets it and is unwilling to let our master go to sea?" ”

Hearing Hai Lanzhu say this, Zhang Yan couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

This Hai Lanzhu didn't grow up in the Mongolian tribe since he was a child, and his nature is upright, don't look at the appearance of a city just now, once he is in a hurry, he reveals his true nature.

She hurriedly comforted: "Hai Lanzhu, don't worry, listen to my father-in-law's words, this is how things ......"

In the evening, Hai Lanzhu said goodbye to Zhang Yan and returned to the Guogong Mansion under the escort of her family.

Hai Lanzhu returned to Rongqing Hall, and saw Zhezhe, Da Yuer, and Zheng Tuoniang all waiting for her, and when they saw her come back, they all greeted her.

"...... you guys" Hai Lanzhu couldn't help but laugh and said: "The palace I went to is not a Longtan tiger's den, are you so nervous?" ”

"Eldest sister, you sit first."

Da Yu'er pulled Hai Lanzhu aside, held her down and sat on the chair, brought another cup of tea and handed it to her, looked at Hai Lanzhu and took a sip and immediately couldn't wait to ask: "Eldest sister, you went to the palace to see the queen this time, what did the queen say?" What's going on? ”

Hai Lanzhu asked rhetorically: "How do you know that something has happened, and you are not allowed to talk to me about the queen's mother?" ”

"It's strange to talk about it." Da Yu'er pursed her lips, "In the past, if the queen wanted to talk to you, she usually gave notice one or two days in advance, how could it be okay to be in such a hurry to find you like today." ”

"You clever ghost." Hai Lanzhu smiled, stretched out her hand and gently scraped the bridge of Da Yu'er's nose, and then said: "Okay, you don't have to guess, this time the queen mother is looking for me, there is indeed something, and this matter is about our master." ”

"Our lord?"

"Our father-in-law?"

All the women were shocked, could it be that something happened to Yang Feng's side?

Without waiting for the girls to ask, Hai Lanzhu shook her head: "Don't worry, it's not that the master has an accident, but something else." You all know that at the beginning of the year, the old man told us before he set out on the expedition that after he pacified the Liukou, he would lead the army to the South Seas and go on an expedition to the South Seas and Dongying, right? ”

All the women nodded in unison: "Yes." ”

"That's where it is." Hai Lanzhu sighed lightly, "Now the henchmen of the Ming Dynasty are in great trouble, the Manchu Qing Dynasty entrenched in Liaodong has been wiped out by Xianggong, and now Li Zicheng, the biggest rogue in the country, has also been suppressed by Xianggong."

According to the agreement between the Xianggong and His Majesty, after a while, the Xianggong will take our family to the sea to the South Seas, but there are some problems on His Majesty's side now. ”

When the girls heard this, their faces changed, and Da Yu'er snorted coldly: "What's the problem, is Your Majesty going back on it and not planning to fulfill the previous promise?" ”

"It's not."

Hai Lanzhu frowned.

"The queen mother came to me today to discuss this matter, the queen mother said, now the civil war is at the beginning of the peace, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, especially the things in the south of the Yangtze River are even more complicated, if the court does not have a person who can shake the scene, I am afraid that there will be chaos, so Your Majesty means can you let the prime minister slow down, and it is not too late to go to sea after the situation in the DPRK and China is stable in a year or two."

"I see."

Hearing that it was not what she was worried about, Da Yu'er's face softened, but she immediately said: "Now there are two generals in the capital, Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu, and there are 30,000 elites of the Beijing camp under his command. His Majesty has this elite army in his hands, who dares to sweep it out directly, what is he worried about? ”

"Bumu Butai, you can't say that." Zhezhe on the side heard Da Yu'er say this, and couldn't help but say angrily: "You, you're still so reckless." Not everything can be solved by force. ”

Zheng Tuoniang also persuaded: "Yes, Sister Yu'er." You are such a smart person, Pravda has been well organized by you all these years, how can you become so impulsive when you encounter the affairs of the public. ”

Da Yu'er sneered: "I see, you are all fooled by the words of the queen mother. In my opinion, where is the emperor reluctant to leave Daming, he is reluctant to leave the money bag of the Ming Royal Commercial Bank. ”

"Ugh!"

"Huh!"

When the girls were told by Da Yu'er, they were stunned at first, and they all suddenly came to their senses.

In recent years, the Ming Royal Commercial Bank has handed over millions of taels of silver to the Zhu family every year, and it is precisely because of this silver that Zhu Youxiao, the emperor, has the money to train the new army and relieve disasters and droughts.

To put it mildly, the reason why Daming Royal Commercial Bank can make so much money depends on the goods that Yang Feng got from modern time and space.
