Zhu Cijiong led the army to Xingcheng Port in the evening of the same day, Zhennan King Zheng Zhilong organized a family banquet in a side hall of the Nanyang Governor's Palace, saying that since becoming the governor of Nanyang, the emperor seems to have intended to let him develop in Nanyang, and the several provinces he was originally in charge of in Nanzhili were gradually taken over by the relevant yamen of the imperial court, and the power of the two provinces and four subject countries of the Southeast Peninsula was gradually transferred to him.

Zheng Zhilong naturally didn't dare to have any opinions, as far as his personal interests and hobbies are concerned, he still prefers life by the sea, and it is better to sail out to sea to cast a few nets of fish than to sit there and watch the show, so he simply took all his family to the Nanyang Governor's Mansion and became a full-time Nanyang Governor.

Finally, Zheng Chenggong followed the emperor to Nanyang, and he naturally wanted to call his family together and get together.

This is a real family banquet, there are not many people in the huge side hall, there are only five people in the middle, he is sitting on the left hand side of Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao two brothers, on the right hand side is the princess Tian Chuan and the son Zheng Chenggong two mother and son, the two beautiful young women serving on the side are not outsiders, they are Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao's wives Wang and Zhang.

After the next person finished serving the dishes, Zheng Zhilong immediately said to the Wang family and the Zhang family on the side: "Brother and sister, come, fill us with wine." “

When Wang and Zhang heard this, they immediately obediently picked up the wine jug and filled it for everyone one by one, and suddenly the aroma of wine filled the entire side hall, and the family naturally drank the aged tribute wine.

Zheng Zhilong stood up with great interest, raised his glass and said, "Our family has a rare reunion, come, let's have a toast." “

Zheng Zhihu, Zheng Zhibao, Tian Chuan, and Zheng Chenggong hurriedly stood up, raised their wine glasses and touched them gently, and then drank them all.

After drinking the wine, Tian Chuan didn't care about the hot roast in his mouth, so he directly picked up a piece of fish meat with chopsticks, put it in Zheng Chenggong's bowl, and said lovingly: "Sen'er, this is your favorite steamed sea bass, how about you taste it?" “

Zheng Chenggong looked at the fish in the bowl embarrassedly, and then looked up at his father and two uncles, this meal is particular about using chopsticks, according to etiquette, because it should be the oldest person here to move the chopsticks first, in terms of etiquette, Xu Guangqi is the most detailed, Zheng Chenggong naturally remembers it very clearly.

Zheng Zhilong doesn't care, although he was born in a family of officials, he went out as an adult, and he was a pirate for a while, so he never cared much about this etiquette, he might pretend to be when there are outsiders, what else is polite to talk about when the family is together, he also picked up a piece of perch and put it in Zheng Chenggong's bowl, and said lovingly: "Sen'er, try it, this is a seven-star real perch shipped from Dongying, specially prepared for you, or your mother cooks it herself." “

Zheng Chenggong is a veritable treasure in the Zheng family, he is not only the emperor's royal brother, Zheng Zhilong's eldest son, and he has been very cute since he was a child, and now he is a jade tree in the wind, handsome and abnormal, his parents and uncle don't treat him as a treasure.

Seeing that all the elders were staring at him eagerly and not moving the chopsticks, Zheng Chenggong had no choice but to pick up the two pieces of fish in the bowl, stuff them into his mouth, and nod while chewing.

Before he could take two bites, Zheng Zhilong asked curiously: "Sen'er, why didn't the emperor gather everyone to deploy the next strategy today, but instead told us to have a good rest?" “

When Zheng Chenggong heard this, he put down his chopsticks and replied seriously: "Back to my father, the emperor said before getting off the ship, everything is not done quickly, and the strategy for the Mughal Empire cannot be deployed for a while, it may take a few hours, so he asked everyone to take a good rest, so as not to be in good spirits during the meeting, but to make mistakes." “

When Zheng Zhihu heard this, he pondered: "If you want to do everything quickly, you can't reach it? Could it be that the great war with the Mughal Empire should be pushed back? “

The emperor didn't mean that, Zheng Chenggong hurriedly explained: "Second uncle, no, the emperor also told me on the road that the day the Mughal Empire attacked Goa was the time of war. “

Zheng Zhihu was puzzled, but Zheng Zhibao said with a shy face: "Sen'er, you see, the emperor is so kind to you, can you say a few kind words in front of the emperor, and ask the third uncle for a fleet commander or something, the third uncle also wants to serve the country and make contributions!" “

When Zheng Chenggong heard this, he didn't answer, but looked at Zheng Zhilong embarrassedly.

Zheng Zhilong directly pointed at Zheng Zhibao with chopsticks, and said with a straight face: "Third child, how many times have I told you, just honestly manage the Western trade of the Ming Dynasty for me, don't think about leading troops to fight anymore, don't mention this to Sen'er again, I didn't let him go to the emperor to say it." “

Zheng Zhibao was also the eldest of the Zheng family, when he was a child, he was also the master of thousands of favors, he was not very afraid of Zheng Zhilong, seeing Zheng Zhilong's posture, he was directly dissatisfied: "Big brother, you are all the prince's person, don't keep pointing at others with chopsticks, Zheng Xing and Zheng Ming, those two boys can be fleet commanders, why can't I be?" “

When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he put down his chopsticks in embarrassment, and sighed: "Third brother, it's not that the eldest brother looks down on you, it's really that our Zheng family has received too much imperial favor, do you understand?" The power is too big and it is more dangerous than the high power of the master, even if the emperor doesn't want to clean us up, there will be people who will go forward on the emperor to slander, in case the emperor listens to the slander, our Zheng family will be finished, you know? “

When Zheng Zhibao heard this, he was quite unconvinced and said: "What does it mean that the power is too great, our Zheng family is only in charge of 300,000 horses in total, and the Qin family is in charge of 400,000 horses, they are more powerful than us, why haven't anyone entered their slander?" “

This pig brain, Zheng Zhilong is so angry, he hates iron and steel: "Don't you know that eldest brother I am still in charge of the military and political power of two provinces and four subject countries?" There is also Xiaoqi Zuoemon, my father-in-law is very old, and it is estimated that the throne will be passed to Xiaoqi Zuoemon in a few years, and Yang Geng and Chen Hui also used to be my personal guards, so calculated, our Zheng family is in charge of a total of 500,000 troops, five subject countries, and two provinces, you still don't think the power is big enough! Also, is the Qin family comparable to us? They are relatives of the emperor, if the queen gives birth to the crown prince, it will be even more terrible, do you say that our Zheng family is close to the emperor or the Qin family is close to the emperor? “

When Zheng Zhibao heard this, he thought about it carefully, it was really like this, he couldn't help but be so frightened that his face changed, cold sweat broke out, and even Zheng Zhihu's face showed a sad color.

Seeing this, Tian Chuan's hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, don't talk about this when the family eats, come, eat quickly, it's not delicious if it's cold." “

Zheng Chenggong also followed with a very face: "Yes, yes, second uncle, third uncle, this sea bass is delicious, you can also taste it." “

The round between the mother and son didn't seem to have any effect, and even Zheng Zhilong put down his chopsticks worriedly and sighed.

Seeing them like this, Zheng Chenggong couldn't help frowning and pondering, and soon, he pretended to be innocent and said: "Father, second uncle, third uncle, you don't have to worry, the emperor is very nostalgic, and especially values people who are loyal to the monarch and patriotic, as long as our Zheng family is always loyal to the emperor and the Ming Dynasty, it will be fine." “

Sure enough, when the three of them heard this, their faces slowly softened, and Zheng Chenggong changed the topic again: "Father, you said that Xiaoqi Saemon is going to inherit the throne, so has his princess been chosen?" There are also concubines, how many have you chosen? “

Speaking of his youngest son, Zheng Zhilong immediately came to his senses, and he couldn't help but smile: "Do you still have to worry about this, princess, your grandfather has already chosen for him, and more than ten concubines have been selected, but you, which girl do you like, when are you going to get married?" “

Zheng Chenggong didn't expect that this accidentally led the fire to himself, he couldn't help but blush when he heard the words, "Uh, uh, uh", uh, uh, after a long time, he was embarrassed to speak.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help laughing, and the atmosphere of the family banquet finally returned to normal.
