The year 1884 soon came.

If you follow the A.D. era, it is 1664.

At this time, it has been a full 20 years since Chongzhen fled from Beijing with a disgraced face.

Chongzhen has also entered the middle age of 54 years from the age of 34 to the age of 54, and has passed the year of knowing the destiny of heaven.

After the Lantern Festival, Chongzhen came to Wuyi Lane by the Qinhuai River, and saw Gao Qiqian, who was already in his last years, and Lao Gao was eighty years old this year.

Although the medical conditions of Daming are no longer what they used to be, it is still a minority to live to eighty.

Gao Qiqian also knew that this meeting was likely to be the last meeting between the master and servant, and when they parted, he took Chongzhen's hand and wept and said, "Long live Lord, today's farewell, the old slave is afraid that he won't be able to see you, long live Lord cherish."

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Chongzhen said angrily, "In my opinion, your body is still very strong, there is no problem at all in living past the age of 100, and I am still waiting for another twenty years to personally handle your 100-year-old birthday."

"In this case, the old slave will inherit the auspicious words of the Long Live Lord." Gao Qiqian smiled so much that the upper and lower rows of gums were exposed.

After returning to the headquarters at the foot of Qingliang Mountain from Wuyi Lane, Chongzhen saw Zhu Cihong waiting at the gate with two young men with eyebrows and seven or eight points.

Seeing Chongzhen coming up from the carriage, the three of them hurriedly saluted.

"The sons and daughters see their father, and I wish my father a long life."

"Grandson to see the emperor's grandfather, I wish the emperor's grandfather a long life."

These two young men who dare to love are the emperor's eldest grandson Zhu Heyi and the emperor's second grandson Zhu Hegui.

Zhu Heyun is 19 years old this year and will graduate from the Nanjing Military Academy in the second half of this year, and Zhu Hegui is also 17 years old this year and has just been admitted to the Nanjing Military Academy in the second half of last year.

Of course, Zhu Cihong is not only Zhu Heyun and Zhu Hegui.

After all, he is the crown prince, and Zhu Cihong now has more than a dozen concubines, and the total number of children is more than thirty.

It's just that the crown princess Kang Xi only gave birth to Zhu Heyi and Zhu Hegui brothers, and the other children are all concubines, and their status and importance must not be compared with the little brothers.

"Excuse me." Chongzhen motioned for Zhu Cihong, father and son, to get up.

He touched the back of Zhu Heyi's head again and asked, "It's time to graduate in the second half of the year, right?"

"If you go back to the emperor's grandfather, my grandson will graduate in October." Zhu Heyun replied seriously.

"Hmm." Chongzhen nodded and then asked, "After all, what are your plans for the future?" Want to go to Australia or the Americas? Or go to Black Africa, just go and be your third uncle."

The Ming Empire's colonization of Australia, the Americas, and Black Africa was a constant progress.

It's just that the population is trapped, the scale of colonization is not large, and it is all an armed stronghold model, especially the colonization of Africa, which is not smooth due to the large number of natives.

By the way, Zhu Cizhi had already been in South Africa eight years ago.

However, Zhu Heyi's trip to Africa was not a vassal, it was just a military experience.

After all, Zhu Heyun is the eldest grandson of the emperor and the second heir to the throne of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Heyun and Zhu Cihong looked at each other and said respectfully, "My grandson wants to go to black Africa."

"Okay, then go to Black Africa." Chongzhen nodded happily and said, "Don't forget to bring more medical supplies."

After speaking, Chongzhen's eyes turned to Zhu Hegui again, and asked with a smile, "What about you? You'll be in the second grade at the beginning of the school year, right? I heard that your kid performed very well in practice last year, and Dean Chen praised you."

Because Zhu Hegui is not the eldest son and eldest grandson, he has no baggage, so he looks very relaxed in front of Chongzhen.

When Chongzhen asked, Zhu Hegui immediately salivated and said, "Grandpa Huang, it's actually nothing, it's just that when I was studying outside Suwu City in Siberia, I happened to suppress a group of absconding slave laborers."

"That's no ordinary group of slave laborers." Chongzhen waved his hand and said.

"It's the Maori Aborigines who were taken captive from Australia, wild and untamed, and you can be brave in the face of danger, and take a dozen stupid classmates to break up the attack of more than a hundred Maori Aborigines, which is still very courageous."

Paused

Suddenly, Chongzhen smiled again and asked, "If you have merit, you will be rewarded, what reward do you want?"

Zhu Cihong gave Zhu Hegui a look again and again and asked him to resign, but Zhu Hegui pretended not to see it, and said with a salivating face, "Grandpa Huang, are you serious?"

"Nature is true." Chongzhen smiled, "When did Grandpa Huang speak and count?"

Zhu Hegui immediately said, "Okay, Grandpa Huang is going on this expedition, please bring your grandson."

"You want to go along? How can that work?" Chongzhen was stunned, "You still have to go to school."

Zhu Hegui said urgently: "You can come back to school and go back to school, and it's okay to graduate a year late, but if your grandson misses this trip to Europe, he won't be able to catch up with any big battles in his life."

Good guy, this is worried that there will be no big battles in the future, so I am in a hurry.

"Haha, good, ambitious, worthy of being a descendant of our Zhu family."

Chongzhen said happily, "Then this time you will go out with the imperial grandfather."

"My grandson has thanked the emperor here." Zhu Hegui was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

As he was talking, a crisp voice came in from outside the door: "Father, you are so eccentric."

With the voice, a slender figure walked in from outside the door, but it was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in the flower season, who else was Zhu Jinxiu, the only Jiangning princess in Daming?

Chongzhen has had a difficult time since the Jiashen national disaster.

In the past 20 years, there have been no fewer concubines, but Concubine Ran gave birth to Zhu Jinxiu.

The other concubines, like Li Xiangjun, Ai Zimu and more than a hundred concubines, are all out of nowhere.

There is only such a baby daughter, Chongzhen is afraid of melting in her mouth, and she is afraid of falling in her hand, she is really a treasure, and she can't wait to pick off all the stars in the sky and give them to her.

"Jiang Ning, where is my father eccentric?" Chongzhen's face immediately showed an old father's smile.

Zhu Jinxiu pointed at Zhu Hegui and said, "Hegui can follow you to Europe, why can't I go?" Unless you ask me and Dali to follow you, it's partial."

"Okay, you go too, you go too."

Chongzhen really has no resistance to his daughter.

But soon, Chongzhen realized that something was wrong, and asked vigilantly, "Who is Dali?"

"He's one of my classmates." A surging flush swelled up on Zhu Jinxiu's pretty face.

Chongzhen's heart instantly alarmed, didn't he? No way? The cabbage that has been raised for seventeen years is about to be arched by pigs? Where did this wild boar come from? Vigorously? What a terrible name!

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson knows this Yang Dali." Zhu Hegui raised his hand and said.

"Second nephew!" Zhu Jinxiu immediately threw a warning glance at Zhu Hegui.

Zhu Hegui wilted in an instant, he was not afraid of heaven and earth, even the imperial grandfather was not afraid, but he was afraid of this imperial aunt, nothing else, he really couldn't beat this imperial aunt.

Don't look at Zhu Jinxiu, she looks delicate and weak, but she is really proficient in equestrian marksmanship, grappling and fighting.

There are more than 3,000 freshmen in the 83rd level of Nanjing Military Academy, except for that Yang Dali, none of them can defeat her.

Chongzhen suddenly wanted to see this Yang Dali in his baby daughter's mouth, and immediately said, "Classmate? Then you call this classmate of yours over and let your father take a look."

"What are you doing?" Zhu Jinxiu was also very vigilant, "What do you see him doing?"

"I don't do anything, I just want to see what he can do." Chongzhen explained, "After all, it is possible to go to the battlefield after all, if you don't have the ability to give up your life?"

"Father, don't worry." Zhu Jinxiu snorted and said.

"If you are strong, you will never be disgraced."

Hearing this, Chongzhen's eyes suddenly became more melancholy.

Won't you embarrass me? Is this to recruit him as a colt?

At that moment, Chongzhen could only say pitifully, "Anyway, I have to let my father see him, right?"

"It's not impossible, then you just wait." After Zhu Jinxiu finished speaking, she turned around and walked away, a beauty who looked like a flower branch, but her personality was like a boy

Target.

Anyway, Zhu Cihong really can't stand it.

It's because my father is used to it, so he spoils his sister like this.

However, Zhu Cihong didn't dare to say anything, a few years ago, he also persuaded Chongzhen to let the imperial sister read more poetry and learn more about female popularity, but he was reprimanded by Chongzhen, saying that he was old-fashioned.

Since then, Zhu Cihong didn't dare to say half a word about Zhu Jinxiu.

Chongzhen drove Zhu Cihong and Zhu Heyun away, but deliberately left Zhu Hegui.

"Gui'er, you tell Grandpa Huang about this Yang Dali." Chongzhen asked, "Where is he from?"

Zhu Hegui said: "Grandpa Huang, Yang Dali is a native of Xuzhou, and his father is a soldier of Nanzhi Town, but he moved to Osaka on Wadao Island more than ten years ago, but he and his mother did not follow, but stayed in Xuzhou, because he is the eldest son, and he can inherit the 25 acres of land left by his father and the qualifications of the town soldiers."

"Oh, it's a boy from the Xuzhou Town Soldiers." Chongzhen was a little relieved, "What's his father's name?"

Zhu Hegui shook his head and said, "I don't know about this grandson, I will ask the imperial grandfather later."

The headquarters of Qingliangshan was not far from the Nanjing Military Academy, and after less than half an hour, Zhu Jinxiu walked into the gate with a sturdy and slender young man.

Seeing this young man, Chongzhen nodded secretly.

Well, the baby girl's vision is still quite good.

This young man looks like the kind of vigorous life.

But when he thought that his baby daughter would soon be cheaper for this kid, Chongzhen was very unhappy, and Chongzhen almost subconsciously pulled his face down.

After all, he is an old emperor who has been sitting on the throne for more than 30 years, and the dragon on his body is extremely powerful.

Especially Chongzhen's exploits can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented, so the majesty on his body is even stronger, and this face directly frightened the young man into paleness, and he couldn't say anything when he saw the saint on his lips.

It's really not that this young man is useless, it's really that Chongzhen's evil spirit is too great, and no one can bear it.

Oh, no, there is one person who can ignore Chongzhen's evil spirit, and that is his precious daughter.

Zhu Jinxiu directly stood in front of the young man, and said coquettishly, "Father, what are you scaring him for?"
