Did Zheng Zhilong guess it?

Guessed it.

Over the years, he has completely left this former opponent behind, and with his current status, except for His Majesty, there is really no one who can shake him.

But at this moment, a strong sense of crisis once again rose in his heart.

I almost forgot about this grandson.

At present, Liu Xiang's power in the Eastern Sea is not small, and this has begun to be knighted, which is clearly the rhythm that His Majesty is not very satisfied with himself. If he is not honest, I am afraid that the Ming fleet will really aim its guns at itself, and it will not be very difficult to let Liu Xiang take his place.

But no matter how sour he is now, he can only stand up and congratulate Liu Xiang.

"Congratulations to Mr. Liu!"

"Don't be busy congratulating him yet, your contribution in Jiaozhi this time is not small, Tainan Bo will be promoted to Tainan Hou. But what I said before, you have to take care of it for me. Otherwise, I want you to look good."

Huh?

The sour Zheng Zhilong can be said to have poured a large vat of honey again, and immediately became sweet and sour.

Happiness came too suddenly.

It seems that although Your Majesty has beaten himself, he still loves me very much?

"Tainan Hou, don't you kneel down to thank you?" Wang Chengen saw Zheng Zhilong standing there blankly, and reminded him.

At this time, Zheng Zhilong, who was in a daze, reflected on himself and hurriedly knelt beside Liu Xiang to thank him.

Now, it's Liu Xiang's turn.

I thought that the knighthood position had caught up with Zheng Zhilong, but I didn't expect that the people would be promoted to another level on the spot.

It seems that His Majesty's first confidant is still him, but it doesn't matter. I, Liu Xiang, must continue to work hard for Your Majesty, and I must not let Zheng Zhilong stand alone!

Liu Xiang's belief became more firm at this moment.

"Alright, let's all get up. Drink two with me."

Zhu Youjian called the two up.

A meal can be regarded as a happy meal, although Zheng Zhilong and the three of them are a little restrained, but after the three or two Moutai have their stomachs, they have also let go of some of them.

Especially Liu Xiang, who had just been knighted, seemed to have opened the seal, and the sycophant was called a whimsical, antelope hanging horns, even Zhu Youzhen was a little stunned, I didn't expect this guy to be such a person.

But an official who is both capable and can make sycophants, which emperor doesn't like it?

Liu Xiang's performance is eye-catching, and Zheng Zhilong's sense of crisis is even stronger.

The most depressed was Zheng Zhibao, who was sitting on the side trembling.

Although Zhu Youzhen asked him to sit down and eat together, he didn't even look at him from beginning to end.

Liu Xiang and the others naturally surrounded Zhu Youzhen, he sat in his seat alone, he didn't dare to eat, he didn't dare to drink, it was like a monkey climbing onto a cactus!

What did you call me for?

Fortunately, the meal ended quickly, and Zhu Youzhen ordered to return to Beijing.

It wasn't until Zhu Youzhen got into the carriage that Zheng Zhilong had time to really say the first sentence to Liu Xiang:

"I didn't expect Hua Tingbo to have such a means to secretly gain His Majesty's appreciation!"

"Speaking of which, Tainan Hou's means are higher, but I've heard that some people have threatened to rebel. Liu is ashamed!" Hearing the sarcasm in Zheng Zhilong's words, Liu Xiang sneered and fought back. ….

Zheng Zhilong has not yet said that Zheng Zhibao on the side is not happy.

"Liu Xiang, what are you!? If it weren't for the mercy of the eldest brother, how could you be where you are today?"

Syllable~

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Zhilong shook his hand and slapped him.

"I'm talking to Hua Tingbo, how can you interject?"

Then, ignoring his reaction, he looked at Liu Xiang again.

"Elder Xiang, when doing things for Your Majesty, you must do your best, and you must not be careless!"

"Many

Xie Zheng reminded him, but I don't need you to teach me how to do things, right? Just take care of your own brother!"

Liu Xiang didn't seem to appreciate it, and walked forward quickly after speaking, as if Zheng Zhilong had a plague on his body.

Dead on the streets!

What bullshit is being said?

Do you want to ease relations with me?

Crazy, right?

Let's dare to have too much contact, and we are guaranteed to have *** light!

Hi!

Unexpectedly, he took the initiative to show favor to the other party but did not appreciate it, Zheng Zhilong's face sank, and he became a little angry.

I thought that now the two of them are officials in the same dynasty, and they are both begging for a life at sea, and they plan to ease the relationship between the previous stalemate, but I didn't expect this dog to still appreciate it?

But soon, he figured out Liu Xiang's concerns.

This ***, there are so many eyes.

He looked at the dragon chariot who was drifting away, and was afraid for a while.

Damn, sloppy.

"! This Liu Xiang is really not a thing."

Zheng Zhibao's hateful voice came from the side.

This time, Zheng Zhilong didn't make a move, but walked forward on his own. waited until he got into the carriage before he said to Zheng Zhibao:

"After Liu Xiang was knighted this time, his position was completely stable. Although he has no military exploits, His Majesty will definitely attach great importance to him. You are a guilty person, what qualifications do you have to scold a new count of the Ming Dynasty by name in front of you? Just because I'm your brother? Zhibao, you are brave in battle and have strong abilities, but why is this brain not enough? If it weren't for the fact that Your Majesty still has a place to use us, what do you think will happen to our Zheng family this time?

But if you don't learn a lesson this time, the ashes will only be a snap of a finger, and you should know these things after today. When I go back, I will send your wife and children, and then I will be a rich man in Beijing with peace of mind. As long as I don't fall, your family will be able to live their lives in peace, but if I can't protect myself one day, you will be the first to die!

In a word, our head is not our own for a long time, do you understand?"

"Big brother..."

The slap marks on Zheng Zhibao's face have not disappeared, and when he heard his eldest brother's heart-to-heart words, his heart was also a little touched.

"I'll be fine and don't cause trouble for my eldest brother. Zheng Sen is studying in Beijing, and I will take good care of him."

Zheng Zhilong nodded and did not speak again.

The group took the train back to the capital again, Zhu Youzhen returned to the palace, and Zheng Zhilong returned to Luoma Hutong.

"I'm your mother, Zheng Jie, you old immortal! Throwing shit at my door again!"

Zheng Zhibao smelled the stench and stood in front of the door and scolded, Zheng Zhilong stood aside and smiled bitterly and didn't speak.

What's going on?

Zheng Zhilong is gone.

Before leaving, he went to the military academy to take a look at his son.

Zheng Sen is getting taller and taller, and he is becoming more and more sensible, and while he is pleased, he is also a little emotional.

In the end, there is too little time together, and although his son is respectful to him, he doesn't have the kind of affection he deserves.

But in the future, Zhibao will stay in Beijing for a long time, and he will be able to see each other more or less, and it will be fine slowly.

Zheng Zhibao did fulfill his promise.

He inquired about the time of the military academy's recess, and then rushed to pick up Zheng Sen before the students left the school.

He asked his subordinates to stand at the gate holding a sign with Zheng Sen's name written on it, looking left and right trying to find his nephew.
