Chapter 496 Enemies Can Become Friends

"Criminals dare not!" Hearing Zhu Youjian's joking voice, Zheng Zhibao's kneeling body shook violently.

He had been staying overseas before, and although he knew that the whole of Ming Dynasty belonged to the emperor in front of him, his awe was not strong at all.One is because I have never seen them before, and the other is that they are pirates. Who would be a robber who is afraid of the emperor?

But it was different now, since he entered the Forbidden City, he felt an invisible pressure.The majestic buildings and strict palace restrictions reminded him all the time what kind of existence the owner of this place is.

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

But at this moment, his trembling body could no longer conceal the fear in his heart.

"Are you scared?"

Zhu Youjian glanced at Zheng Zhilong.

You brother is not very good, you talk so crazy, it turns out that it is just talk.

"I thought that with Zheng Yiguan's ability, his brother should also be a hero in the world. When I saw him today, I was very disappointed." Zhu Youjian sat back behind the imperial case and said without interest.

"Wang Banban, show him the things and convince him, don't say that I wronged him."

"Yes, long live."

Wang Chengen handed the stack of papers he had prepared long ago to Zheng Zhibao. Zheng Zhibao only glanced at it, and was scared out of his wits.

On a certain day in a certain month, Zheng Zhibao drank with a certain person, and said something disrespectful to His Majesty during the dinner.

Just looking at the first page, the records are already very detailed, and there is no chance of sophistry.Even he didn't have the courage to look down.

He who doesn't like to use his brain has always been so fast at this moment, but he can't think of any excuses.

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

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

"Since it's damned, there's no need to say any more, just pull him down."

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

regret!

Very sorry!

"Your Majesty..." Zheng Zhilong wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhu Youjian's eyes.

Zheng Zhibao, who used to call himself a hero, was almost dragged out. Along the way, scenes from the first half of his life flashed like lightning in his mind.

From the inland to the sea, and from the sea to the island.

Life is already rich to the extreme, and all of this will come to an abrupt end today.

After thinking about it, it seemed that no one else could be blamed. It was his ignorance and growing ambition that harmed himself and his family.

If you die, what will your family members do?

I hope that my own life can save the family.

Zheng Zhibao had been dragged outside the Meridian Gate, and the executioner seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

Two guards pinned Zheng Zhibao to the ground.

"Before the execution, Your Majesty asked me to ask you one more question, do you know you made a mistake?"

The executioner with the machete asked condescendingly.

Zheng Zhibao felt tired for a while, he was going to hack me to death, and asked me if I was wrong, could it be that he said he knew it was wrong and wouldn't chop me up?

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

"I know I was wrong!"

"Oh~ that's fine, let's go!"

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

What the hell!

If you know you are wrong, you have to die!

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

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 Youjian.

He wanted to beg Zhu Youjian for mercy, but he didn't say it out of his mouth several times.Because he didn't know what Zhu Youjian was thinking in his heart, 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 a problem.

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

"Your brother is far behind you."

After a long while, Zhu Youjian put down the brush in his hand for reviewing the memorial, and picked up the teacup beside him.

"The minister was too busy with his official duties in the past, and neglected to discipline him, so that he committed such a rebellious and scandalous thing. He deserves to die."

"Don't worry, I'm just trying to scare him, I didn't intend to kill him."

what?

Zheng Zhilong raised his head in surprise.

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

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

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

"In the past two years, I have seen all your contributions to the court. Speaking of it, it is not an exaggeration to be named a Marquis. Zheng Zhibao has complaints, and I can understand." Zhu Youjian took a sip of tea, and then continued the conversation Turn around and continue talking. "However, in the past few years, your Zheng family has made a lot of money following the global business. It is no exaggeration to say that you are rich. But Zheng Zhibao just keeps his eyes on the title, and he still speaks out in public. Then when some treasonous words come, I will kill him, is it reasonable?"

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

They were just pirates, and it is not easy to be where they are today.

Credit, he did.But more is just hard work.

When attacking Taiwan, they relied on the sharp firearms of Ming Dynasty.

When fighting Luzon, it relied on the powerful power of the First Fleet.

Even leading troops to attack Jiaozhi was nothing more than helping the main force of the Beijing camp to stabilize the situation.

If you really want to say that you are the first, you really don't necessarily have to talk about it.

He has a very clear understanding of this.

Therefore, he has always worked hard and obeyed the orders of the court.

The reason is nothing more than knowing how sharp the things in the hands of the imperial court are, and he is just a person in charge of executing 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 trouble.

No matter how careful he was, he never thought that his younger brother could make such a big mess for him.

"Your brother, I don't intend to kill him. But capital crimes can be forgiven, and living crimes are unavoidable. Don't let him go back when he comes to the capital this time. It's good to be a rich man in the capital. Otherwise, with his brain, even this time If I let him go, it will be a disaster sooner or later. Do you have any objections to this arrangement?"

"Everything is subject to His Majesty's arrangement. Zhi Bao's character is outrageous, and he does things impulsively and recklessly. It is His Majesty's favor to be alive right now. How dare you ask for more!"

"It's good that you understand. I heard that Spanish people have come to negotiate?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the main force of their fleet did not dare to go to Manila, and only sent a little nobleman named Sobrino. I have already sent people to encircle and suppress their fleet. It is estimated that there will be more in a few days." It worked out."

"What's your plan? Even the silver?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, I'm about to ask His Majesty about this matter!"

"If they pay the money, let them go. Europa has huge market potential, so you don't have to fight against them. As long as there is money to be made, enemies can also become friends."
