The reunion of father and daughter is a good thing, but at the same time, it also relieves the last regret in Chongzhen's heart, after all, the other children have all died under his sword, including more than a dozen of his wives. Now, Chongzhen is the only one left with this daughter, but she has ended up in such a situation when she is middle-aged, and the sorrow in her heart can be imagined.

arranged for his daughter to rest, Chongzhen and Mao Wenlong drank in the mansion, Chongzhen was obviously too much to drink, and after a few glasses of wine, he began to blush and redden. Putting down the wine glass heavily, Chongzhen looked at Mao Wenlong seriously and said, "Do you know? Actually, I regret it now! ”

Mao Wenlong didn't know what Chongzhen was going to say, he didn't respond immediately, just looked at him and waited for the following.

Chongzhen sighed lightly: "When the imperial city fell, I had already planned to live and die with the country, and I had already made up my mind at that time, so I took it upon myself to kill all my children including all my concubines with my sword......"

Mao Wenlong suddenly saw Chongzhen crying two lines of crystal tears inexplicably, and the silent crying was more sad than roaring and crying. personally ended his relatives, but in the end he learned that he still had hope of recovering the country, Mao Wenlong still somewhat understood Chongzhen's inner pain at the moment.

But as the monarch of the Ming Dynasty, it is not surprising that sometimes such sacrifices are made, and the emperor's family has always been linked to the fate of the country. Chongzhen can't be blamed for such a situation, but fate can only be blamed for catching people.

"The emperor should not be sad, after all, this is not your fault, and who can predict what will happen in the future. If the emperor had known that he would meet me in the coal mountain later, he would not have killed the killer again, wouldn't he? Mao Wenlong persuaded softly.

After listening to Mao Wenlong's persuasion, Chongzhen began to be silent, with tears still on his face, but he didn't care about it, and poured a few glasses of wine in a row. Chongzhen suddenly looked up at Mao Wenlong and said with a serious face: "I have something to ask for, I hope you can consider it as appropriate." ”

Mao Wenlong paused, nodded and said, "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

Chongzhen had wine in his belly, and he no longer hesitated, and said bluntly: "I want to marry the only princess to you, and I hope you can become the master of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Mao Wenlong looked at Chongzhen in astonishment, he wondered if he had heard it wrong just now.

Looking at Mao Wenlong, who was stunned, Chongzhen showed a wry smile: "I have no children under my knees now, and the vassal kings of various places have already respected themselves as mercenaries, and they may cede land and become emperors at any time." Mao Wenlong, I am not a fool, I know the current situation in my heart, to tell the truth, I promised you to go to Nanjing and then re-support the Ming Dynasty, except that I am unwilling to let the Ming Dynasty perish like this, I actually understand that this is likely to be just a dream. ”

In desperation, Mao Wenlong's life-saving straw suddenly appeared, and then Chongzhen grabbed this life-saving straw tightly. But after he calmed down and thought about it, he found that he now had to rely on Mao Wenlong completely to complete the great cause of restoring the country.

And in this way, it is already obvious that he Chongzhen will inevitably become Mao Wenlong's puppet in the future. The king of a country, but he has fallen to the point of being a chess piece in the hands of others, and Chongzhen is suddenly not optimistic about the future.

The arrival of his only daughter made Chongzhen see a little hope for the future, rather than finally becoming Mao Wenlong's puppet, he felt that it was better to take the initiative to become a family with Mao Wenlong.

Even if this Daming still has to fall into the hands of Mao Wenlong in the end, as long as he and his daughter have a child in the future, and then let this child take over the throne, indirectly, this Daming foundation will return to the hands of their Lao Zhu family.

Mao Wenlong frowned, he was unwilling to accept Chongzhen's proposal in his heart. It's not that he doesn't want to be with Chongzhen's family, but Mao Wenlong really has no interest in Princess Taiping. In addition, he Mao Wenlong now has two beautiful wives at home, and he is very happy. Contentment is enough for him, and if he continues more, he is afraid that his harem will change.

Shaking his head, Mao Wenlong refused: "I understand what the emperor means, but I can't accept it." ”

Chongzhen's face changed slightly, and he asked urgently: "Why?" This is supposed to be beneficial to you and me, so why do you want to refuse me? ”

Mao Wenlong raised his head and poured a glass of wine, and then said in a deep voice: "I am in charge of my marriage, and no one can control it, including the emperor." Moreover, a marriage like this with a political purpose has never been what I want Mao Wenlong. ”

Chongzhen was like listening to a big joke, and he laughed and said: "Mao Wenlong, you are indeed different, but I want to tell you that no one can control you in this marriage now." But you must know that as long as you marry my only daughter now, the Ming Dynasty will belong to you in the future, and it will be justified. All this is as simple as if you marry a princess, you have to think it through. ”

Mao Wenlong frowned and categorically refused: "This matter is not negotiable, if the emperor has nothing else to do, then he will leave." ”

After speaking, Mao Wenlong didn't wait for Chongzhen to respond, he got up straight and left, and walked very freely without looking back.

Chongzhen was not angry this time, on the contrary, a smile appeared on his face, looking at Mao Wenlong's figure gradually moving away, he muttered to himself: "Mao Wenlong, no matter what, you must marry my daughter!" ”

Chongzhen threw away the wine glass in his hand, directly lifted the wine jug to the spout and poured the whole pot of wine into his stomach in one go. With a little drunkenness and a leisurely pace, Chongzhen was ready to go back to rest.

Wu Chengen appeared beside him at some point, stretched out his hand to support Chongzhen, who was a little drunk, and a trace of hesitation flashed on his face.

Chongzhen seemed to know that Wu Chengen had something to say, and suddenly said: "If you have anything to know, just ask, now that I am the only one left by my side, what else is there to scruple about." ”

A glimmer of light flashed in Wu Chengen's eyes, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, just now the slave maid heard you say that you want to marry Princess Taiping to Mao Wenlong?" Is there such a thing? ”

Chongzhen stopped, paused, and said seriously: "Is there any good way you can't do?" ”

Wu Chengen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the slave maid has a way, but I don't know if it can be done?" ”

Chongzhen suddenly became interested: "Let's hear it." ”

Wu Chengen continued to walk towards the room where they were resting, and whispered to Chongzhen about his method.

After listening to Wu Chengen's muttering, the smile on Chongzhen's face was obviously gradually expanding. Obviously, he was still quite optimistic about Wu Chengen's methods, and finally said bluntly: "Okay, just do it, you go and arrange this matter, as for the princess, I will go and talk to her early tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes!" Wu Chengen smiled and said goodbye and left.
