Got the news that he would be able to see Emperor Zhengde tomorrow afternoon, Zhou Chong couldn't help but be a little excited, and now he first checked the gifts he wanted to bring when he met Emperor Zhengde, among which those ordinary gifts don't have to be brought, today Gu Dayong has already said that those ordinary gifts can be sent directly to the palace, and only those more special gifts can be given to Emperor Zhengde by Zhou Zhong in person.

Speaking of the gifts given by Zhou Zheng, there are really a lot of gifts, not to mention the two Franc machine guns, which have been played by Emperor Zhengde for a few days, and I don't know if Lu Dao has been broken by him. In addition, there are ten telescopes, these are the same as artillery, that is, a gift to Emperor Zhengde, and it is also Zhou Chong who wants to use the hand of Zhengde to promote it in the Ming army, hoping that with these two things, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army can be increased.

Next is corn and sweet potato, these two crops are related to the stability of the country's social security, especially now that Daming has encountered the Xiaoice period, domestic natural disasters continue, these two high-yield crops for Daming, is undoubtedly a life-saving fairy grass, I don't know how many people will live because of corn and sweet potatoes in the future?

In addition to the above four main gifts, the rest are some gifts from Zhou Zhong to Emperor Zhengde himself, such as chili sauce and sea intestine noodles named monosodium glutamate, as well as twenty mirrors and some utensils made of glass, such as teapots, teacups, glass vases and other things.

Zhou Chong's gifts are carefully prepared, and some of them have a deeper meaning, such as sea intestine noodles, Zhou Chong plans to persuade Emperor Zhengde to let him do the business of sea intestine noodles with him, so as to carry the banner of Zhengde. At that time, some regulations can be put in place. It was up to the court and themselves to monopolize this business. No one is allowed to participate, and the problem of overfishing of the sausage can be avoided.

In addition, he did not plan to make money with Franc machine artillery and telescopes, but wanted to use these two skills to exchange for the Ming Navy to Emperor Zhengde, and when the Portuguese attacked Malacca next year, he suddenly appeared with the Ming Navy, completely bankrupting the Portuguese plan to invade the South Seas, and even then he could control the Strait of Malacca in one fell swoop, and then he had this natural danger. The Portuguese wanted spices from the South Seas and goods from the Ming Dynasty, so they could only look at their own faces.

Now in the smuggling trade of the Ming Dynasty, the Wa State is a very important trading object, and nearly thirty percent of the goods are shipped to the Wa State every year, so Zhou Zhong wants to take advantage of their civil strife to increase the influence of the Wa State through the Ashikaga family, and even if there is a chance, directly control the political situation of the Wa State, just with the current strength of Zhou Chong. It is really unrealistic to want to control the Wa Kingdom, unless there is the support of the Ming court. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for him to do it alone.

After counting the gifts, Zhou Chong sorted out the few things he was going to say tomorrow in his heart, and then he felt a lot more relieved, at this time it was already dinner time, Jinxuan asked people to call him to eat, when Zhou Chong came to the restaurant with a smile, the first thing he saw was Bai Mengwan's concerned gaze.

When Zhang Rui came today, Bai Mengwan also quickly learned the truth, so she was worried all day long. Zhou Chong also only cared about accompanying Gu Dayong to dinner, and later he was happy to see Emperor Zhengde tomorrow, but he forgot to tell her about Zhang Rui's bad luck, which made Bai Mengwan worry for so long.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chong also showed an apologetic smile to Bai Mengwan, and said softly when he walked up to her: "Don't worry, Zhang Rui is difficult to protect himself this time, if there is a chance in the future, my son will definitely seek justice for your sisters!" ”

Hearing Zhou Chong's whispers in her own ear, especially hearing that Zhang Rui was unable to protect herself, this made her stunned for a moment, and then her face showed an extremely excited expression, and even her eyes were a little moist, after all, their sisters were cornered by Zhang Rui before, and their family property was also taken away by the other party, and now they finally have the hope of revenge.

Thinking of this, Bai Mengwan felt a sour nose, and the huge grievances hidden in her heart suddenly broke out, which made her no longer care about it, and suddenly threw herself into Zhou Chong's arms and cried.

Zhou Zhong didn't expect Bai Mengwan's reaction to be so big, feeling the soft delicate body in his arms, he couldn't hug it, and he didn't hug it. Jinxuan, Bang'er and others in the restaurant were also stunned, they didn't know the grievances between Lu Dao Bai Mengwan and Zhang Rui, and they didn't know what Lu Dao Zhou Chong had just said to Bai Mengwan, so she let her hug Zhou Chong in front of everyone regardless of etiquette, and she cried so sadly?

Feeling the eyes of the women in the restaurant, Zhou Chong also felt extremely embarrassed, among which Jinxuan looked at her in addition to doubts, there was also a trace of vinegar, although she wanted Zhou Zhong to accept Bai Mengwan as a concubine, but when she saw her father-in-law being held in the arms of other women, she naturally couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

Although Xie Lingyun next to Jinxuan was calm on the surface, her gaze at Zhou Chong was already a little unkind, she had long felt that it was a little unsafe for a young and beautiful woman like Bai Mengwan to stay by Zhou Chong's side, and now it really confirmed her guess,

As for Bang'er, she is smiling, as Zhou Chong's younger sister, she is naturally not as jealous as Jinxuan and Lingyun, and she has the best relationship with Bai Mengwan, and she has long wanted Bai Mengwan to enter the door of their Zhou family, so that it will be more convenient for them to get along in the future, and she can also have a few more nephews and nieces.

Only Sira was the most innocent, looking at Zhou Zhong and Bai Mengwan who were hugging each other with a confused expression, and then looked at Jinxuan and Lingyun, unable to understand what was going on.

finally waited until Bai Mengwan vented the grievances in her heart, then she suddenly felt wrong, and hurriedly pushed Zhou Zhong away, she was also embarrassed and didn't know what to say, her face was even more blushing as if she was about to drip blood, and finally said to the people in the hall: "I ...... I'm ......, Zhou Gongzi...... Jinxuan...... Sister Jinxuan...... Right...... I'm sorry! ”

Bai Mengwan said that after the worst, she finally couldn't support it anymore because she was thin-skinned, and then covered her face and whispered, "Shame on you!" Then he turned and ran out of the restaurant, apparently not going to eat dinner.

However, Bai Mengwan could escape, but Zhou Zhong had to stay to explain, and at the moment, under the pressure of Jinxuan and them, he told the grievances between the Bai Mengwan sisters and Zhang Rui, and as a result, Jinxuan and the sentimental women all shed tears after listening to what happened to the Bai Junwan sisters.

"I usually see Sister Junwan's gentle and kind personality, and Qingqing is so lively and cute, but I didn't expect them to have such an encounter, that Zhang Rui is really inferior to a beast, not only harmed the Bai family, but also ruined Sister Junwan's life!" After listening to this, Jinxuan opened her mouth to curse very rarely, this was the first time Zhou Chong had seen her so angry.

"Brother, you must avenge Sister Junwan and them, that Zhang Rui must not let go, Qingqing has never been such a father as him!" Bang'er was also full of tears at this time, in her heart, her brother Zhou Chong was omnipotent, so although Zhang Rui was in charge of Dongchang, Bang'er also believed that Zhou Zhong could avenge his good sister. After Siela figured out the meaning of eunuchs, she also couldn't believe the White Sisters' experience.

In contrast, Xie Lingyun was much calmer, only to stand there with a frown, and ask a question that had also puzzled Zhou Zhong for a long time: "What did Zhang Rui experience in the capital that would make his temperament change greatly, otherwise with his previous performance, he shouldn't be those ruthless people?" ”

It's a pity that only Zhang Rui himself knows the answer to this question, although Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun are both shrewd, it is impossible to guess Zhang Rui's experience out of thin air.

Coincidentally, just after Zhou Chong finished talking about Zhang Rui, Jinxuan and the others were also complaining about the Bai sisters, suddenly someone outside reported that it was a little father-in-law in the palace who asked to see, and when Zhou Chong couldn't eat, he came to the front hall again, and found that the person who came he actually knew, it was one of the little eunuchs around Gu Dayong today, and later he was sent to escort Zhang Rui into the palace, if Zhou Chong is not mistaken, this little eunuch should be called Wang Gui.

Seeing Zhou Zhong coming in, the little eunuch named Wang Gui immediately stepped forward and saluted with a flattering face: "Slave Wang Gui has seen Zhou Gongzi!" ”

"The prince doesn't have to be polite, I don't know why the father-in-law went and returned, could it be that the father-in-law of Gu has any new instructions?" Zhou Zhong said with a smile while helping the other party up, although the other party is just a little eunuch, but it is better to break into the king, and the little ghost is difficult, not to mention that this Wang Gui is still a cronie around Gu Dayong, the more such a person can't be offended.

Seeing that Zhou Chong, who even had to stammer, was so polite to himself, this made Wang Gui very useful, and the smile on his face at the moment was even brighter: "The slave maid came this time, and it was indeed instructed by the father-in-law to pass on a news, today after the slave and maid sent Zhang Rui to Grandpa Zhang, Father-in-law Zhang not only beat Zhang Rui hard, but also dismissed Zhang Rui's work as the admiral eunuch of the East Factory, and now he has been sent to the direct palace supervisor to do things, and Father-in-law Zhang also asked the slave maid to bring a message to the son, he said that the people below are ignorant and offend the son, Now that he has disposed of it, I hope Childe doesn't blame him! ”

The so-called direct palace eunuch, although he and the celebrant are one of the twelve eunuchs of the inner palace, but the power and status are very different, the ceremonial supervisor and the imperial horse eunuch are the most powerful and promising departments of the twelve eunuchs, but the direct palace eunuch is only responsible for the cleaning of each palace, in other words, Zhang Rui from a dignified eunuch of the East Factory, suddenly reduced to the cleaner in the palace, although this kind of disposal is not as direct as killing, but it makes people more uncomfortable than death.
