Volume 10 Chapter 15 The King of Cooking in Luoyang City
Zhu Cijiong didn't expect the Habsburg princess to be so beautiful, and he lost his mind for a while, until the people slowly approached, curtsy, and said crisply in broken Chinese, "See His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire", and he came back to his senses.
Fortunately, because it was a blind date meeting, he put on enough pomp, but he didn't let all the civil and military officials come to fill the faΓ§ade, otherwise he would lose his face. However, there is still such an official at the scene, this is Zeng Dezhao, a member of the Tuntian Qing Officials Division of the Ministry of Industry, I heard that this princess can speak Spanish, and it just so happens that Zeng Dezhao can also do it, so Zhu Cijiong summoned him as a translator.
I don't know if this thing saw his gaffe just now, Zhu Cijiong secretly glanced at Zeng Dezhao who was standing aside, this thing stood there quietly with his head down like a sculpture, and he didn't know if this thing was pretended, or he kept this posture and didn't see anything, forget it, what if he saw it, forgive him and don't dare to say it everywhere.
Zhu Cijiong cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Welcome to Daming, beautiful Princess Anna, don't you know your habits of living?" β
Zeng Dezhao's reaction was called a quick one, and it was like a sculpture a second ago, but as soon as Zhu Cijiong's words fell, he immediately raised his head and spoke to Princess Anna.
The princess's reaction was rather strange, she first raised her head and glanced at Zhu Cijiong shyly, and then lowered her head and said something softly.
Zhu Cijiong saw her white and red skin, and almost lost his mind again, so he quickly moved his gaze to the side, staring at Zeng Dezhao's monkey ass face, waiting for him to translate.
How did this feel a little weird, Zeng Dezhao awkwardly translated: "Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness Princess Anna said that Guanghan Palace is very beautiful, she likes it very much, and she hopes to live in such a beautiful palace forever." β
It's no wonder that Zeng Dezhao felt a little weird, Zhu Cijiong didn't tell him that the princess was here for a blind date, which was translated like this on the surface, but Princess Anna didn't mean this.
If you understand it from the perspective of blind date, what she means should be: Your Majesty, I am very satisfied with you in all aspects, I don't know how you feel about me!
Well, foreigners are really direct enough, Zhu Cijiong is naturally very satisfied with her, a beauty that makes people lose their minds, who doesn't want to have it, plus she represents the huge Holy Roman Empire and the Spanish Empire, marrying her is equivalent to forming an alliance with two European powers, Zhu Cijiong naturally wants to marry her more at this time. However, it is impossible to give her the position of the queen of the main palace, I don't know if she is willing to be a concubine?
Zhu Cijiong said a little apprehensively: "This, I also want you to live in my palace forever, but you also know that it is impossible for the emperor of our Ming Empire to have only one wife, and besides, my queen has already been decided, and I can only wronged you to be a concubine, are you willing?" β
Princess Anna had been learning Chinese for a few months on the way to Daming, and she naturally couldn't understand such a complicated sentence at this time, so she could only look at Zeng Dezhao in a daze, waiting for him to translate.
Zeng Dezhao only knew at this time that Her Royal Highness the princess was here to marry, but what the emperor said, he really wanted to roll his eyes, this is the princess of the Holy Roman Empire, a direct descendant of the Habsburg Dynasty, and can be said to be the most noble princess in Europe.
Zhu Cijiong was nervously waiting for Princess Anna's reply, but after waiting for a long time, there was no sound at all, and then he realized that Zeng Dezhao did not translate, what is going on with this product, I don't know if I am very nervous? He glared at Zeng Dezhao fiercely, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter, is this sentence difficult to translate?" β
Zeng Dezhao was taken aback, the emperor rarely stared at people like this, it is estimated that if he doesn't translate, the emperor will be furious, he quickly shook his head and said: "No, no, Weichen is thinking about how to accurately translate the emperor's meaning to Her Royal Highness the princess." β
After that, he immediately translated it in a hurry.
Princess Anna heard this, her face darkened, she could only be a side concubine, her father would never agree, but she also had a bit of love at first sight for His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire, the age is so suitable, he is so handsome, and he rules a powerful empire, there is really no such person in the continent, if she wants her to go back to marry her own uncle, it is better to be a side concubine to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire, so she gritted her silver teeth and said with a blushing face: "My father is afraid that he will not agree, Otherwise, if we have a wedding and then inform my father, he will not be able to do anything even if he does not want to. β
Oh, the cake buyer, what is wrong with Her Royal Highness Princess Anna, Zeng Dezhao couldn't believe his ears, but with the lesson from last time, he didn't dare to hesitate this time, and immediately translated the original words.
Zhu Cijiong was also dumbfounded when he heard this, how does this feel a bit of an elopement, but such a rare beauty wants to elope with him, it is really as exciting as it is, as for whether the Holy Roman Emperor will be angry because of this, he is too lazy to think about it, raw rice is cooked and cooked rice, who is afraid of whom!
Even if the marriage matter is settled, Zhu Cijiong is in a good mood, but he can't let Princess Anna move into the palace at this time, he has to explain it to the queen mother of the two palaces and Qin Mingyue, since she likes Guanghan Palace so much, let her live there first.
Zhu Cijiong was sitting on the dragon chariot and thinking about how to explain it to the empress dowager of the two palaces and Qin Mingyue, a little eunuch suddenly hurriedly came over and whispered a few words in Cao Huachun's ear, Cao Huachun nodded, bowed down to Zhu Cijiong and said: "Your Majesty, the regent Zhu Youzhen Chitose has urgent matters to see." β
Oops, he must be urging him to send troops to the northwest, what the hell is going on with Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, they haven't captured Luoyang and Xiangyang for so long, these two people are too vegetable!
In fact, he really wronged Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the reason why they haven't captured Luoyang and Xiangyang is not because they are too vegetable, but because they are too cunning.
Like Li Zicheng's side, in fact, he has already contacted the internal response in Luoyang City, as long as a message is sent to the past, people will immediately open the city gate to welcome him into the city, Luo ** does not have the problem of attacking or not, the reason why he does not enter the city is just that he doesn't want to be a bird.
He had seen how fierce the Qin army was a few times, and he knew that his 100,000 horses were definitely not the opponent of the Qin army, not to mention that there were other soldiers and horses in the imperial court, such as King Lu Yan, who was fiercer than the Qin army. The so-called gun shot the first bird, if he captures Luoyang first, the imperial army will definitely point the finger at him, and then he will become the target of the imperial court's encirclement and suppression, and the other three-way righteous army will be able to easily complete the goal and retreat calmly, and he will at least be disabled by the imperial army, and even lose his life if he is not careful, this kind of limelight will be done by fools!
Therefore, he has been waiting, waiting for news from the other three routes, once he succeeds all the way and is surrounded by the imperial army, he can take Luoyang, sack it, and then calmly retreat.
As a result, he didn't wait for the news that he had succeeded, but he waited for the bad news that the main force of the righteous army had missed, and the whole army was wiped out, and even his uncle Gao Yingxiang was caught!
What to do? He didn't know that Zhu Cijiong would 'drag' the Qin army for him, under normal circumstances, the main force of the righteous army was completely annihilated, and then it would be his turn, because Luoyang was the closest to Shaanxi, and if he didn't leave, he might not be able to leave.
If he wants to run away, he will have to consider the problem of survival in the future, the food and property looted in the past can not last long, and Luoyang must be robbed, the legend of King Fu is rich and rival the country, and there are many royal relatives who fled into Luoyang City, bringing countless food treasures, and robbing this one will not have to worry about eating and drinking within a year or two.
So, Li Zicheng notified the inner Ying inside, looked for a dark and windy night, opened the city gate, rushed in one fell swoop, arrested all the royal relatives inside, cut it down, robbed all the grain, grass and gold and silver treasures in the city, and loaded them into the car. Then, I found a cauldron, brushed King Fu clean, cooked it in a pot with hundreds of catties of venison, made a pot of "Fu Lu Banquet", and ate it with my subordinates!
