Chapter 187: Xiao Fusong enters the children's camp
Zheng Zhilong's father and son actually came to Beijing to face the saint?
Zhu Jian couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the little eunuch's report, and an impulse suddenly surged in his heart, to slaughter the Zheng family's father and son or put them under house arrest first, and take the powerful Zheng family's fleet as already owned?
Song Xiance, the imperial military advisor, let out a light cough and shook his head gently.
Zhu Jian comprehended and let out a helpless sigh, it was easy to kill the Zheng family's father and son, but it was impossible to take the Zheng family's powerful fleet as already owned, it would only force Zheng Zhilong's subordinates to rebel and become a powerful enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and it would also chill Gao Jie and all the other people who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.
However, having said that, even if he knew that Zheng Zhilong was still loyal to the Ming Dynasty after his return, and honestly nested in the Fujian area as his local emperor, anyone who became the emperor was jealous of the powerful warlord, which was also the reason why he suddenly became impulsive, and the temptation of the Zheng family's father and son to throw themselves into the net was too great.
"Xuan."
Zhu Jianqiang suppressed the impulse in his heart and asked the little eunuch to bring the Zheng family's father and son, he was very curious, Zheng Zhilong suddenly came to Jingshi to ask for a meeting, so he was not afraid that his brother would chop him up?
The reason why he wanted to take the opportunity to chop off Zheng Zhilong was above board, and local officials, especially military attachés with military power, were not allowed to leave the garrison without the holy decree of transfer.
What is it important for Zheng Zhilong to dare to risk losing his head and come to Beijing?
"The criminal minister Zheng Zhilong knocked on the emperor."
Under the guidance of the little eunuch, Zheng Zhilong and his son came to the imperial study, and as soon as the Zheng family father and son came in, they kowtowed and confessed their sins, without a holy decree, and left the station without permission.
"Zheng Aiqing is flat." Zhu Jian's right hand was weak, and he looked curiously at the little pot friend who was kneeling beside Zheng Zhilong, dressed in brocade clothes, but still having a runny nose, this little guy is the famous Zheng Chenggong in the future?
"The sinner did not dare to get up." Zheng Zhilong kowtowed again, joking, the Son of Heaven hasn't said that you are not guilty, how dare he get up.
"Well, this is Ling Lang Fusong, right?" Zhu Jian asked, he was quite satisfied with Zheng Zhilong's attitude.
"Back to the emperor, it's Fusong, the son of the guilty minister." Zheng Zhilong replied respectfully.
"Give Fukuson a seat." Zhu Jian nodded, he and Zheng Zhilong partnered to control the shipping business, and harvested a lot of silver every month, of course he had to pay attention to Zheng Zhilong, plus the famous Zheng Chenggong, it was even more important, and it was normal to know Zheng Chenggong's alias.
"Thank you for the throne." Although Zheng Fusong is young, he is still at the age of playing with mud with runny nose, but he has obviously been taught, and after kowtowing respectfully and thanking him, he got up and sat on the chair brought by the eunuch, and his big round eyes looked curiously at the legendary True Dragon Son of Heaven.
"Zheng Zhilong, are you guilty?" Zhu Jian's eyes signaled, and Wang Chengen asked with a sharp voice.
"The minister is guilty." Zheng Zhilong kowtowed again and confessed his guilt, and then slowly explained the truth.
Son Fusong is stubborn, invited several famous teachers to teach, were tossed away by him, I heard that the boy camp is a training base for cultivating young talents, in the future, even the prince and grandson have to enter the boy camp for training, he wants to send the inferior son to training, sponsor one hundred taels of silver every year, until Zheng Fusong graduates, and donate another three million taels of silver to the boy camp, in order to do his best.
As soon as he heard about donating silver, Zhu Jian's eyes suddenly lit up, the old Zheng family is rich, and he is so generous, just rush to this point, even if it is a capital crime, my brother has to give you a waiver, not to mention that this is Zheng Zhilong showing loyalty to him and taking his son as a hostage, the most important point is that Zheng Fusong can be brainwashed into a fanatical boy who is loyal to him, hehe, a great thing.
"I forgive you for your innocence, Zheng Aiqing is flat and gives you a seat." Zhu Jian said, his heart was happy, but his face was wrenched, and if he wanted to maintain the power of the Son of Heaven, he had to wrench a dead face to intimidate the minister.
The business was quickly negotiated, Zhu Jian accepted the four million taels of silver tickets with a smile, and he was in a good mood to feast the Zheng family father and son in the palace, although it was just an ordinary home-cooked meal, and the portion was not much, but the flattered Zheng Zhilong felt that he was eating a fairy delicacies.
After the morning of the next day, Zhu Jian personally took the Zheng family father and son to visit the children's camp, Zheng Zhilong saw the children's training, both surprised and happy, what kind of amusement paradise is this, it is simply a small military camp, the training is strict, no matter how stubborn the little guy is thrown into it for a few years, even if he does not become a talent, at least he becomes sensible, and does not let his parents worry about it, a good place, no wonder those nobles are trying their best to get their grandsons or something into it, not only to show loyalty, but also to please the Son of Heaven, but also to cultivate a talent, in one fell swoop.
Zheng Zhilong is happy, but Xiao Fusong cried, now Xiao Fusong is still a naughty boy who can only make trouble, there is no difference between following hell when he enters the boy camp, not to mention being far away from his parents, no one is waiting, and he has to carry out all kinds of training, for a little gentleman like him, it is simply worse than death, but it is useless to cry no matter how miserable it is, Zheng Zhilong is a very strong master, glaring at him, Xiao Fusong was so frightened that he didn't even dare to cry, and obediently followed the instructor into the camp, and the pitiful appearance of turning back three times was unbearable.
Zheng Zhilong quietly left Beijing after sending his son to the boys' camp, he was dressed in disguise, quietly came to Beijing, few people know, if this matter spreads, it will be a big trouble, since the strict ban on the sea, it is equivalent to cutting off the financial road of those civil officials, and those civil officials hate him to the bone, and they don't want to find fault all the time to knock him down and chop him up and feed the dogs.
After Zheng Zhilong left, Zhu Jian called the eldest sister of the Boy Scouts, Tou Yan Tienan, and explained in a low voice, Xiao Fusong is a future naval talent, don't bully him, teach him well, train him into a talent, the most important thing is to be loyal, loyal, and loyal, and say important things three times.
"Father-in-law, don't worry, Tie Nan promises that he will remember the happy life of the boy camp for the rest of his life, and be loyal to his father-in-law for the rest of his life." Yan Tienan said with a smile, since she was warned by Zhu Jian, she pretended to have a smiling face in front of Zhu Jian to show that she was slowly changing.
Zhu Jian smiled bitterly, and looked at Xiao Fusong's thin back with a little sympathy, this girl's smile made him feel a little weird, as if he didn't have the innocence that a girl of this age should have, but there was a terrifying sense of hell demon grinning?
Watching Yan Tienan enter the camp, he suddenly had a happy feeling, Xiao Fusong is the heirloom of the Zheng family, and when Zheng Zhilong is gone, he will hand over all the family wealth to Zheng Fusong, all he has to do is to brainwash Zheng Fusong well, so that he can solve this problem that makes him a headache by being loyal to himself, which is much simpler and easier.
Zhu Jian was still very busy, and while he was busy with the people's livelihood of the empire and the Donglin Party, his eyes turned to Liaodong again.
