"Sinners don't dare!" Listening to Zhu Youzhen's slightly playful voice, Zheng Zhibao's kneeling body shook violently.

I had been staying overseas before, although I knew that the entire Ming Dynasty was the emperor in front of me, but my sense of awe was not strong. First, because they haven't seen it, and second, they are already sea bandits, who are afraid of the emperor as robbers?

But now it's different, since he entered the Forbidden City, he has felt an invisible pressure. The solemn building and the strict palace ban reminded him all the time what kind of existence the owner of this place was.

The master of the Ming Dynasty, the master of the world!

And at this moment, his shaky body could no longer hide the fear in his heart.

"Are you scared?"

Zhu Youzhen glanced at Zheng Zhilong.

Your brother is not very good, he is so crazy, it turns out that he is just a mouthpiece.

"I thought that with Zheng Yiguan's ability, his brother should also be a hero in the world, but when I saw it today, I was greatly disappointed." Zhu Youzhen sat back at the back of the imperial case and said with interest.

"Wang Companion, show him something, and let him be convinced, don't say that I wronged him."

"Yes, hooray."

Wang Chengen handed a stack of paper that had been prepared a long time ago to Zheng Zhibao, Zheng Zhibao only glanced at it, and he was so frightened that he was not possessed.

On a certain day in a certain month, Zheng Zhibao and XX were drinking, and what disrespectful words did they say to His Majesty during the banquet.

Looking at the first page alone, the record is already very detailed, and there will not even be a chance to quibble. Even he didn't have the courage to look down.

He has never liked to use his brain, but this moment is turning fast, but he can't think of any excuses.

"The minister is guilty, and the minister deserves to die!"

In the end, he still knelt on the ground and honestly confessed his guilt.

"If you deserve to die, then don't say any more, pull him down."

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand, and Zheng Zhibao completely collapsed on the ground.

Regret!

Very regretful!

"Your Majesty..." Zheng Zhilong opened his mouth to say something, but was stopped by Zhu Youzhen's eyes.

Zheng Zhibao, who has always called himself a hero in the past, was almost dragged out, and along the way, the scenes of the first half of his life flashed in his mind like electricity.

From inland to sea, and from sea to islands.

Life has reached the extreme of wealth, and all this will come to an abrupt end today.

Thinking about it, it seems that it is no wonder that others are harmed, it is his ignorance and ever-expanding ambition that have harmed himself and his family.

If you die, you die, what will happen to the people in your family?

I hope that my life can save my family.

Zheng Zhibao was pulled out of the noon gate, and the executioner looked like he had been waiting for a long time.

Two guards pushed Zheng Zhibao to the ground.

"Before the execution, Your Majesty asked me to ask you one more question, do you know that it was wrong?"

The executioner, with the machete, asked condescendingly.

Zheng Zhibao's heart was tired for a while, he was about to hack me to death, and asked me if I was wrong, could it be that he would not cut me if he knew that he was wrong?

Thinking of this, a glimmer of hope flashed in Zheng Zhibao's heart, and he subconsciously replied:

"I know it's wrong!"

"Oh~ That's okay, let's get on the road!"

The executioner nodded in satisfaction and raised the machete in his hand.

it!

If you know it's wrong, you'll die!

"Woo, I was wrong! I really didn't dare to rebel! Woo woo woo ~ "

The executioner naturally ignored his cries and slowly lowered the knife in his hand.

In the Qianqing Palace, Zheng Zhilong was standing in front of Zhu Youzhen.

He had the heart to beg Zhu Youzhen for mercy, but he didn't say it several times. Because he didn't know what Zhu Youzhen was thinking, he was afraid that if he talked too much, even he himself would be implicated.

It doesn't matter if he falls, I'm afraid the future survival of their family will be in question.

After all, he has offended too many people over the years.

"Your brother, that's a far cry from you."

After a while, Zhu Youzhen put down the brush in his hand and picked up the teacup on the side.

"The minister was too busy with official duties in the past, and neglected to discipline him, so that he did such a rebellious and ugly thing, and he died innocently."

"Don't worry, I'm just scaring him, not killing him."

Yes?

Zheng Zhilong raised his head in surprise.

Seeing that Zhu Youzhen didn't look like he was joking, Zheng Zhilong hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

He was so happy, if Zheng Zhibao, the initiator of all this, didn't have to die, then he would naturally be fine.

"In the past two years, I have seen your dedication to the court. Speaking of which, it is not an exaggeration to be named a marquis. Zheng Zhibao has complaints, and I can understand it." Zhu You took a sip of tea, then changed the conversation and continued. "But in the past few years, your Zheng family, following the global trade, has made a lot of money, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a rich country. But he, Zheng Zhibao, stared at the title, and said such rebellious words in public, I want to kill him, right?"

Zheng Zhilong didn't answer because he had nothing to say.

They are just from Haikou background, and it is not easy to get to where they are today.

Credit, he does have. But it's more just hard work.

relied on the sharp firearms of the Ming Dynasty.

When fighting Luzon, it relied on the great might of the First Fleet.

Even leading troops to attack Jiaozhi was only to help the main force of the Beijing camp stabilize the situation.

If you really want to talk about the first credit, you really can't talk about it.

He has a clear understanding of this.

Therefore, he has always been hardworking and obedient to the orders of the imperial court.

The reason for this is nothing more than knowing how sharp the things in the hands of the imperial court are at the moment, and he is just a person responsible for carrying out orders.

As long as His Majesty is willing, it is easy to find someone to take his place. The price is nothing more than a lot of effort.

No matter how careful he was, he didn't expect his younger brother to poke such a big basket for himself.

"Your brother, I'm not going to kill him. But capital sins can be forgiven, but living sins are inevitable. This trip to the capital, don't let him go back, it's good to be a rich man in Beijing. Otherwise, with his brain, even if I let him go this time, it will be a disaster sooner or later in the future. Do you have any advice on this arrangement?"

"Everything is subject to His Majesty's arrangement, Zhibao has a detached personality and does things impulsively and recklessly, and it is already His Majesty's grace to be alive now. How dare you ask for more!"

"If only you understood. I heard that someone from Spain has come to negotiate?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the main force of their fleet did not dare to go to Manila, and only sent a minor nobleman named Sobrino. I have sent men to encircle their fleet. I guess the results should be available in a few days."

"What's your plan?" And you swallowed the money?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, the minister is about to ask His Majesty for this!"

"When they have paid the money, let them go. Europa has a huge market potential, and it doesn't have to be against them. As long as there is money to be made, enemies can become friends."
