Chapter 21: Zheng Chenggong's Troubles (First Update, Asking for Support)

Jiangbei pacification envoy Zhu Mingzhong Lianke Huai'an and Yangzhou two prefectures!

The news from Jiangbei soon spread throughout Nanjing, and for a time the whole Nanjing was shocked by the news, for those who had just taken out the long-lost Han family clothes from the bottom of the box, and started anew for the people who grew their hair, they were naturally happy and happy, and at the same time they were relieved. After all, Jiangbei is the gateway to Nanjing.

For the remnants gathered here, they were even more ecstatic to go to Xiaoling, and comforted Emperor Gao's soul in the sky with the news of Jiangbei's victory, and even Zhu Mingzhong's own reputation was sought after by the remnants.

There was a lot of joy outside, but in the Yanping Palace, the atmosphere seemed a little strange, maybe outsiders did not know, but for the officials in the palace, they naturally knew how to force Zhu Mingzhong, who had not recovered from his injuries and made great contributions to the country, out of Nanjing, and also knew that when he left, in addition to his personal guards, if it were not for nearly 4,000 loyal soldiers who took the initiative to follow, he was almost a bare-bones general soldier when he left Nanjing.

But even so, only ten days of effort, this Jiangbei came to the good news of victory, but two days, even under the Qinghe, Shanyang and Yangzhou three cities, Yangzhou, Huai'an under the jurisdiction of the counties, the loyal army is even more heard, the situation in Jiangbei changed instantly, became more favorable to the Ming Dynasty.

Although this is good news, no one can laugh, especially after seeing the expression of the surname of the country, almost everyone chooses to be silent, even if it is a normal report, it is only in a formulaic tone.

Everyone seems to have intentionally or unintentionally stopped mentioning the news of Jiangbei, and in everyone's opinion, this news from Jiangbei may be a taboo.

At noon, Zheng Chenggong, who returned to the palace for dinner, seemed to be a little unhappy with his expression, and his brows were even tighter. So much so that the maids in the house were all waiting cautiously, for fear that one of them would be punished by the prince.

And from the time she saw the prince, Dong Yougu noticed that his mood seemed to be a little unhappy, but she didn't speak.

"Alas......"

During the meal, after occasionally hearing his sigh, Dong Yougu asked with a smile,

"Lord, why do you look sad today, the concubine heard that good news came from Jiangbei one after another, shouldn't the prince be happy?"

Unlike others, Dong Yougu did not shy away from this question. Her question made Zheng Chenggong look up at her, and suddenly smiled bitterly.

"Aunt You, do you think I'm really a stubborn person?"

Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Zheng Chenggong's eyebrows furrowed, his face looked a little helpless, and then he sighed bitterly.

"Jiangbei has won successive battles, Chengren can be said to have made great contributions, Kejiangyin, take Changzhou, Funandu, take Jiangbei, Chengren has repeatedly made miraculous achievements in the country, but ......"

After pondering for a moment, thinking that during this time, Zhu Ming was loyal to Jiangbei's attack, Zheng Chenggong suddenly smiled helplessly.

"But how do I repay him for his miraculous deeds?"

His face changed suddenly, and Zheng Chenggong, whose expression looked extremely ugly, said sharply.

"After recovering the southern capital, he was first put in prison, and then he wanted to seize his military power, and then forced him to go north to Jiangbei, although it was a hundred folds, but Chengren was still a brave country with a lot of courage, leading thousands of remnants of the army to take Jiangbei, as the screen of the southern capital, such a brave and loyal person, but for this king to suppress like this, what is the shame of this king!"

When Zheng Chenggong blamed himself angrily, Dong Yougu did not speak, but sat beside him, gently pressed his hand, and then just looked at him quietly.

At that time, the Qing general soldiers and horses took advantage of the weakness to attack Xiamen, Zheng Zhiguan was timid and afraid of death, and did not see the shadow of the Qing soldiers, and fled to the sea by boat. There was no owner on the island, the people staggered and fled, everyone carried treasures, only Dong Yougu wrapped the ancestral tablet and Zheng Chenggong's confidential documents, and walked away, which also made Zheng Chenggong more admired and trusted the Dong family.

It is precisely because of his trust in him that Zheng Chenggong said this.

"Today, Jiangbei reported success, but there are hundreds of officials in the house, but no one dares to say joy, and no one suggests how to reward it, it seems that everyone thinks that this king will be jealous of Zhu Mingzhong, and the greater his merit, the more jealous this king will be......"

At this time, Zheng Chenggong's face was full of grievances, because others misunderstood him, perhaps, he had reprimanded Zhu Mingzhong sharply, perhaps, he had wanted to kill Zhu Mingzhong, but it did not mean that he would really be like this, even if he was annoyed and angry, he also knew who was the cadre of the country.

Because of this, he would never do anything to destroy the Great Wall, but now the outside world has misunderstood him too much, so that many people think that he wants to kill Zhu Mingzhong and then hurry up.

"Does the prince think so?"

Dong Yougu looked at the prince and asked rhetorically.

"If this king thinks like this, how can he, Zhu Chengren, win Jiangyin? I'm afraid I've already cut off his head! ”

Thinking of the tolerance he had been tolerating all along, thinking of this tolerance, no one else understood, Zheng Chenggong immediately said in annoyance.

"Zhu Chengren has repeatedly contradicted this king, although this king is annoyed, but how can he really move the killing intent? If you want to kill someone, how can you keep him until now? If he had been someone else, he wouldn't have died many times......"

When Zheng Chenggong complained, Dong Yougu just smiled and didn't say anything, the two have been married for many years, how can she not know his temper, his anger is at most temporary, but outsiders don't know.

Even now, the prince is still a person who loves and hates. He would never hold a grudge against Zhu Mingzhong as the outside world speculated. I can't wait to kill it and then hurry up.

Maybe the prince was extremely angry with Zhu Mingzhong, but his appreciation for him has never changed.

Dong Yougu knows this better than anyone else, and it is precisely because of this that she hesitates whether she should tell the prince about that matter.

"But now outsiders don't think so, they only think that this king wants to kill him, they only think that this king is still annoyed with him, so they never dare to mention Zhu Chengren out loud even in front of this king, these people don't want to think about it, if this king wants him to become benevolent, how can he stay until now, since he is kept, that is, there is no slightest problem with him, even if he is angry again, it is to keep him useful......"

But outsiders don't think so, they just think that you want to kill him but can't kill him, so they are afraid, afraid that you will really kill someone!

When the time comes, it will be self-destruction of the Great Wall!

Who are just living in the belly of a gentleman in the heart of a villain!

Dong Yougu secretly sneered in her heart, but it's a pity that the Chinese martial arts officials in this mansion, for so many years, no one can really understand Wang Ye!

Perhaps in their opinion, only the prince is as they guessed. That's what a real prince should have, not so magnanimous.

"Yes, if it weren't for the prince's knowledge and good deeds, how could he Zhu Mingzhong be today, when it comes to doing things, when he left Nanjing, he took so many soldiers away, he should have been punished, but the prince, you didn't let people mention this matter, and even took the initiative to give Li Ziyuan thousands of men and horses to appease them. Outsiders think that you are giving Zhang Shilang face, but how many people know that you are helping Zhu Mingzhong? Like now, how have you said these things to others? ”

Although there were quite a few complaints about the self-protection of the Chinese military officials in the bottom of their hearts, Dong Yougu did not accuse them, but only gently persuaded them.

"It is precisely because the civil and military officials do not know the prince's mind, so they will misunderstand the prince, if when receiving the report, the prince can pick out his mind, how can it be so?"

As soon as Dong Yougu said this, Zheng Chenggong's face suddenly became embarrassed, and when he received the report from Jiangbei, although he was very happy in his heart, he didn't speak, but just said "oh" softly.

The reason couldn't be simpler, Zhu Mingzhong was forced to go to Jiangbei by him, and now his great victory in Jiangbei came, Zheng Chenggong didn't want the hundred officials to be honest with him to "know people and be good at their jobs", and he didn't want them to pat their ass against their will, but it didn't prevent him from being happy because of the news, but everyone misunderstood his thoughts, and just thought that he was still annoyed, so they all became cautious.

Now it seems that I do have some responsibility.

"But, how can you find out, do you tell everyone that this king is not annoyed? If this is the case, then there are no three hundred taels of silver here! ”

Zheng Chenggong said with some annoyance, there is no way to explain this kind of thing. The more you explain, the more counterproductive it becomes, and even the suspicion of trying to cover it up. Then he added.

"However, if others are allowed to misunderstand it like this, in the future, if someone thinks that this king has prejudices against him, in order to invite merit in front of this king, he will find an opportunity to trap him, and when the time comes, if he really violates the law of the country, this king will have a heart, and how can he be saved?"

Looking up at his wife, Zheng Chenggong said in annoyance.

"If this is the case, then Chengren is not the victim of this king?"

Maybe Zheng Chenggong is not a real reader, but he knows it very well. What do those who read sometimes try to curry favor with him!

In the history books, there are too many such things. It is precisely because of this that his heart is as depressed as it is now. He didn't know how to ease it all.

"If you want to protect him, you must find out these things, otherwise someone will misinterpret your thoughts in the future, and I am afraid that it will really be ...... later"

looked at the prince in front of him and looked at his solemn expression. Dong Yougu's heart once again thought of the ninth sister, maybe ......

But when this thought came to mind. There was another voice in Dong Yougu's heart that told her that the time was not right now, and this was not necessarily the best choice.

Let's wait until later. Dong Yougu thought like this in her heart, and said comfortingly.

"Lord Wang, you can rest easy, the concubine body feels that there are so many people in the house, and there is no one who can read your mind Lord Wang?"
