"Your territory?" Zhengde did not have the slightest consciousness of falling into the hands of the enemy, and when he heard Zhou Zhong say such a big thing, he immediately sneered at each other, "Don't you know that the whole world is not the king's land, although Shuangyu Port was not the territory of the Ming Dynasty before, but now it has been reclaimed by me, and the officials and troops here are all my people, so what is your territory?" ”

"Ha Lu Ha ~ , obviously it is your Zhu family rat eyes are narrow, let the rich ocean do not want, you have to implement any sea ban, even the coastal islands have been abandoned, this Shuangyu Port is the product of the sea ban, after hundreds of years of development, and later after my improvement, it slowly became what it is today, if I didn't want to give the smugglers a bright identity, how could it be so easy to let the officials and troops of the Ming Dynasty station?" Zhou Zhong said with a smile at this time, since he had torn his face, there was no need for him to be polite to Zhengde, and he had never had any reverence for the royal family.

Zhengde was also angry when he heard Zhou Chong scolding the royal rats, and just wanted to refute it, but heard Zhou Chong continue: "Now is not the time to say this nonsense, where are my wives and relatives, hurry up and release them, prepare another big boat, I want to leave with them!" ”

Zhou Zhong tightened his knife and said, although hijacking Zhengde is a big crime to destroy the door, and even if he is given a boat, he may not be able to escape, but in this case, even if there is a glimmer of life, he has to give it a try.

Being interrupted by Zhou Zhong made Zhengde very unhappy, but he didn't dare to resist. Instead, he called Gu Dayong outside in a very obedient voice, and as a result, Gu Dayong was scared half to death as soon as he came in, just now he heard something wrong in the living room, but His Majesty had ordered before, as long as he was not told to do whatever happened inside, he was not allowed to come in, so he could only keep outside, but he didn't expect that now His Majesty was actually put on his neck with a short sword by Zhou Chong, if there was an accident, it would be a big incident.

"Still stunned for what to do. Go and invite Zhouzhong's wife and daughter over! Seeing Gu Dayong standing there stunned. Zhengde roared angrily, but Gu Dayong was frightened, and he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he rushed to the backyard to invite someone. However, he knew that His Majesty did not let him invite Zhouzhong's whole family. Instead, go and ask for another person.

Zhou Zhong put the short sword on Zhengde's neck, and did not dare to relax in the slightest. Although he tried his best to pretend to be calm on the surface, his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about how he could escape from Shuangyu Port safely. In addition, after he escaped, what would happen to the rest of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, and would he have a way to take these people away? One by one, the questions popped out of his head, but the answers to each one made him shudder.

But just when Zhou Chong's mind was in a mess, he heard Zhengde suddenly say slowly: "Zhou Chong, you don't have to be afraid, I actually have no ill will towards you, and I don't want to do anything to you?" ”

"Shut up, now your life is in my hands, and you should be the one to be afraid!" Zhou Zhong roared angrily, he was now in turmoil, he was already very irritable when he heard Zhengde speak, and he was even more angry when he heard the other party debunk the fact that he was afraid.

"Ha Luha, I said yes, if you are not afraid, why will the hand holding the short sword tremble?" Zhengde didn't have the slightest sense of being held hostage, and continued with a smile, "I know Lu, are you worried about your family, worried that even if you have a boat, you won't be able to escape, and even if you escape with your family, what can the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce do......

"Shut up, don't shut up again, believe it or not, I'll cut out your tongue, anyway, you don't usually go to court, it doesn't make a big difference whether you want a tongue or not!" Zhou Chong said viciously, he was in a bad mood, and Zhengde didn't have any eyesight to talk nonsense, which made him already on the verge of breaking out, if he provoked him, it was not impossible to kill Zhengde directly.

"It's good to scold, his mouth is really unpleasant, and everyone can be quieter even if he cuts out his tongue." As soon as Zhou Chong's words fell, he heard a woman's voice suddenly outside, and then the door of the living room opened, and a graceful lady walked in, looking about forty years old, looking very rich, although there were some thin crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, but it could be seen that she must have been a very beautiful woman when she was young.

Seeing that it was a middle-aged woman who came in, Zhou Chong was also stunned, but what he didn't expect was that Jinxuan was standing beside this middle-aged woman and supporting her, and in this woman's arms, she was also holding an infant baby, if she guessed correctly, this baby should be her newborn daughter.

When Jinxuan came in, she saw Zhou Zhong holding a short sword on Zhengde's neck, and immediately turned pale with fright, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Xianggong, what's going on, why do you want to hold Your Majesty hostage?" ”

Zhou Zhong saw Jinxuan helping a strange middle-aged woman in, and also handed over the child to the other party, and even looked at their appearance, it seemed that they were still very close, which made him a little confused, and he couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, who was this middle-aged woman?

I saw that after this woman came in, she didn't care about Zhengde being held hostage, but first glared at Zhengde fiercely, and then handed the daughter in her arms to Jinxuan beside her, and then opened her mouth and scolded Zhengde: "Nonsense, they are all emperors, and they can't even do this little thing, so that you can recognize your relatives and do it like this, and now you are being held hostage by your own brother, what kind of system!" ”

For this woman's reprimand, Zhengde didn't dare to resist at all, but kept smiling, Zhou Zhong was even more stunned, he never thought that there were still people in this world who dared to reprimand Zhengde, and Zhengde didn't dare to resist, who is this middle-aged woman? Why did she say that Zhengde was held hostage by his younger brother? Is it okay to hold it hostage by yourself?

Just when Zhou Chong's mind was full of questions, I saw this woman who had reprimanded Zhengde walk up to Zhou Chong, looked at Zhou Chong seriously with tears in her eyes for a long time, and finally cried and shouted: "My son, I have made you suffer all these years, hurry up and let go of your imperial brother, let's have a good chat!" ”

"The Emperor...... Brother Huang? Zhou Zhong was even more shocked when he heard this, and at the same time, he was also wondering if the woman in front of him was sick in the brain, otherwise how could he say so many inexplicable words.

At this moment, the woman who was crying bitterly seemed to want to hug Zhou Chong, but Zhou Chong took two steps back and said, "Wait a minute, who are you, why do you say that I am Zhu Houzhao's younger brother, what is going on?" ”

Seeing Zhou Chong's confused look, the middle-aged woman in front of him was in tears, and she wanted to say something but she couldn't say it when she opened her mouth several times, and her two teary eyes only looked at Zhou Chong up and down, her eyes were full of love, and this kind of gaze made Zhou Chong's heart tremble, because he remembered the gaze that his mother looked at him in his previous life.

At this time, I saw Zhengde suddenly sigh and said: "Zhou Chong, no, now I should call you second brother, this is our mother, the queen mother of the Ming Dynasty, as for your life experience, it is the biggest secret of our Ming royal family, and it is also the biggest shame, my father spent countless manpower and material resources in order to find your whereabouts, but unfortunately there is no clue in the most rear, and even the most regal is still thinking about you before her death, telling me to find you." ”

Zhengde said, and finally told a secret story in the court, it turned out that the woman in front of Zhou Chong and them was Zhengde's mother, Empress Dowager Zhang, and Zhou Chong's identity was not Zhu Yunwen's descendant, but Zhengde's younger brother Zhu Houwei.

At the beginning, Empress Dowager Zhang and Emperor Xiaozong had two sons and two daughters, but they never thought that there was a descendant of Zhu Yunwen lurking in the palace, who was also Zhou Hai under the pseudonym Wang Hai.

Zhou Hai is very hostile to the Zhengde family, and has even reached the point of madness, and he has been lurking in the palace for many years, and he also has many helpers in the palace.

Zhu Houwei, the last prince, also did not escape Zhou Hai's poisonous hands, but this time Zhou Hai did not hurt Zhu Houwei, but stole him out of the palace, but it was this plan that made Emperor Xiaozong finally find a clue, and the most Lu exposed Zhou Hai. It's a pity that Zhou Hai was very shrewd, and when he saw that something was wrong, he immediately fled with Zhu Houwei, and the rest of the party was all executed by Emperor Xiaozong in a fit of rage.

Zhu Houwei disappeared with Zhou Hai, and Emperor Xiaozong naturally would not let his son go, so in the next few years, he spent a lot of manpower and material resources to find Zhou Hai's traces, but unfortunately he found nothing in the end, and he was still haunted by this matter until he died.

After Zhengde ascended the throne, although he didn't like the government, he always kept his father's last wish in mind, so he has been sending people to find Zhou Hai's traces in the past few years. Originally, more than ten years have passed since this incident, and it was even more difficult for Zhengde to find Zhou Hai, but he didn't expect his luck to be good, and he found a clue about Zhou Hai after the most lu, and even followed this clue after the most lu, so that Jin Yiwei found Zhou Hai who lived in seclusion in Songjiang Mansion, but unfortunately before Jin Yiwei was happy, he got the news that Zhou Hai died at sea, leaving only Zhou Zhong and his family to live hard.

Originally, when Jin Yiwei heard that Zhou Hai had died in an accident, he wanted to go to Zhou's mansion to arrest people immediately, after all, Zhou Hai committed a heinous crime, and his family would also be implicated, but Wu Shan, who was in charge of this matter at the time, found that Zhou Chong was the same age as Zhu Houwei, the prince who disappeared that year, so he suspected that Zhou Chong was the prince of the year, so he found an opportunity to live in Zhou's mansion, intending to take the opportunity to check Zhou Chong's true identity.
