Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Beijing.

It was less than an hour after Prince Jian's decree that General Dingyuan was sent to Fujian to pacify the pirates, Zheng Zhilong, Marquis of Tong'an, and his second son Zheng Du, who had received the news, were already in Prince Jian's residence. However, the two waited for more than an hour in the gatehouse, but they were not summoned by Prince Jane for a long time.

In addition to his father and son, there were many officials in the concierge who came to see Prince Jane. Those who knew his father and son were mostly disdainful and ignored them at all. Some of them were polite and only called "Marquis of Tongan". Even if they say hello, they don't want to say a word.

Zheng Zhilong's reaction to these officials was not surprising. Sitting on the bench, he looked at the officials coming and going with a smile. When people greeted him, he nodded, even if the other party had turned his head away when he got up to greet them, He still wasn't annoyed. Look, just like a kind man.

Zheng Du knew why these officials treated his father and son like this, and like his father, he didn't get angry with them, but seeing that it was about to get dark, Prince Jane still refused to summon him. He whispered to Naifu and said, "Father, we have been here for so long. If Jidu wanted to see him, he would have seen him long ago. Judging from this situation, I am afraid that he would not want to see his father. Father, why don't he go back first, so as not to be here? Tell those little guys to take it lightly."

"Not urgent."

Zheng Zhilong shook his son's hand gently, signaling him to be patient. Zheng Du was helpless and could only continue to wait patiently.

After a long while, someone finally came over and called, "Has the Marquis of Tongan gone?"

"Tong'an Hou Zheng Zhilong is here!"

Hearing the sound, Zheng Zhilong's narrowed eyes suddenly opened, and he got up and greeted the passerby.

The person who came was Cui Dahai, the head of the palace. The Han army was wearing a blue flag. Earlier, he worked in Prince Zheng's mansion. After the palace was built, he was assigned to serve him. Because he was able to do things well, Prince Jane valued him, so he handed over the affairs of the palace to him. He manages.

In front of the prime minister's door, there are still seven-rank officials, not to mention the head of the prince's palace.

As soon as Cui Dahai appeared, all the big and small officials who were waiting at the door stood up at the same time. They all greeted Director Cui. Cui Dahai only picked up a few people and nodded, but the rest didn't even look at them. Those officials who were answered by Director Cui were beaming with joy, and those who were not attracted by Director Cui were also full of smiles, who dared to take themselves seriously.

In the eleventh year of Shunzhi, Zheng Zhilong was named the Marquis of Tongan. But in front of Cui Dahai, the servant of the palace, he didn't take the lord's air at all. He stepped forward and bowed slightly to Cui Dahai, and then asked with a smile: "Director Cui, but the lord wants to summon me?"

Cui Dahai's nostrils almost went up to the sky. "Humph": "The lord said, he will leave for Fujian in a few days. There are so many things to do, and he really can't find time to see you. The lord told you to go back. Don't say more."

"Yes Yes."

Zheng Zhilong was extremely disappointed in his heart, but his face was full of smiles, and he still wanted to work hard. Trying to be able to see Prince Jane, he said cheekily: "Could you please tell me, sir, that the gifts I brought to the prince are all overseas treasures, and you can't see them in the market in Beijing..."

Before he could finish his words, Cui Dahai interrupted him in a hurry and said "chi": "My lord does not care about your treasures? If you are reluctant, I will ask someone to bring them to you!"

"That's not what I meant, don't get me wrong, these treasures are just a filial piety to the prince by Zheng, and if the prince can accept it, it will give Zheng a big face. Where does Zheng mean to lend a hand? Don't be ashamed to kill Zheng. Zheng only wants to see the prince, and asks the general manager to be accommodating!"

Zheng Zhilong's low voice made his son feel distressed when he saw it, but Cui Dahai didn't care. And obviously impatient, he waved his hand and scolded: "What's the matter with you? I didn't tell you, the lord is very busy now, and asked you to go back. If you are really good for Daqing, I will call you a pirate. The son should come back sooner. Then the father and son will be in the same dynasty, and two generations will be the marquis, wouldn't it be a bad thing to say?" As he said that, he was about to leave.

Zheng Zhilong hurriedly took out a silver note from his cuff and stuffed it into Cui Dahai, and said with a smile, "Just a small idea, please accept it with a smile."

"Well."

Seeing that it was a 1,000 tael silver note, Cui Dahai's attitude suddenly eased a lot. He glanced left and right, and the officials who were looking at him eagerly turned their faces to the side.

Cui Dahai tucked the bank note into his cuff, chuckled, and said to Zheng Zhilong in a low voice: "Marquis of Tongan, let me tell you the truth, the lord really doesn't have time to see you. But don't worry, the lord said that you have nothing to do with your son. It doesn't matter how much, as long as you are loyal to Anhou, your son's affairs will not involve you."

After Zheng Zhilong heard this, he immediately said with great gratitude, "Thank you for telling the truth!"

Cui Dahai smiled, Zheng Zhilong got the letter of approval, how dare he delay, hurriedly bid farewell to Cui Dahai, and walked out of the gate of the palace with Zheng Du step by step.

When they got into their own carriage, the father and son didn't smile just now. They walked to the corner of the front street and saw that there was no one around. Zheng Dufang scolded: "A dog's eyes are low, and a servant would dare to neglect his father like this. It really deserves to be killed!"

Zheng Zhilong sighed and smiled bitterly, thinking about how heroic he was back then, with 100,000 soldiers in his hand, and still being able to support the emperor, but today he has fallen to the point where even a servant in charge would flatter him. This gap really made him feel miserable. Huluo Pingyang was bullied by dogs, but he couldn't understand it more deeply in recent years.

Seeing his father's lonely face, Zheng Du was a little unwilling, and he hesitated and said again and again, "Father, does what my eldest brother said in the letter, does my father think it is feasible?"

"This matter is too related~www.NovelMTL.com~ It's done, the southeast changes color, no, I'm afraid it will be difficult for your eldest brother to gain a foothold in Fujian."

Zheng Zhilong hesitated, but the sound of hoofs came from the street. He lifted the curtain of the car and looked out. Several horses hurried past his carriage, looking at the direction of Prince Jane's mansion.

Zheng Du's eyes were sharp, and the leading knight looked familiar, and said, "It seems to be Datsu."

"Dasu?"

Zheng Zhilong was a little strange. Dasu was the commander of the army and the minister of the interior. What was he doing in such a hurry to go to Prince Jane's mansion.

"Why did Da Su go to Jidu so late?" Zheng Du was also very curious, thought about it, and said to the outside: "Zheng Er, you use the money to make clichés to see that Da Su arrives at Prince Jane's mansion so late. what to do."

"Okay!"

Zheng Er, the driver of the car, was a ronin warrior whom Zheng Zhilong had hired when he was in Japan in his early years. He was very loyal to him. After so many years in China, he was also extremely proficient in Chinese. He was the one who worked for Zheng Zhilong and passed on news in Beijing over the years.

Zheng Er handed over the silver in the past, and the guards who sent the Minister of the Interior Da Sulai didn't think much about it. There were many dignitaries in Beijing to inquire about the news. Besides, this matter is not a secret, and the whole capital will know it tomorrow. He told Zheng Er about the matter. Zheng Er was shocked when he heard it, and hurried back to report.

"You mean that King Pingnan Shang Ke died happily, King Geng Jimao of Jingnan returned to Ming anyway, General Hamu of Jingnan died in battle, and forty-eight counties of Guangdong's three prefectures returned to Ming?"

Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Du's father and son were shocked by the news.
