[Ming] Wuzong's Chronicle of Rebirth

Luo Zhijian didn't have much affection for the Portuguese who occupied Manga. In his eyes, they were just a group of robbers and liars with blood on their hands.But this does not mean that he hopes that the Ming Dynasty will take back Manjijia.The benefits of Manga to our country are obvious. Without Manga, caravans from Portugal can only drift all the way on the sea, there is no place to stop, and spices from India will no longer be exclusive to the Portuguese.

Having enjoyed the support given by the businessmen, Luo Zhijian always has to do something in return.For example, when he knew that the Ming Dynasty was about to spend an unimaginably large sum of money to build a navy, Luo Zhijian's first reaction was to pass the news to the Frangji caravan.Although we don't know the impact of this navy on Franji for the time being, it is always good to take precautions before they happen.

Du Ruo and Zhu Houzhao gave repeated orders not to talk about coastal defense with Luo Zhijian, but someone still violated the order.It was a small official from the Siyi Pavilion who told Luo Zhijian the news. He was sent to learn Portuguese from Luo Zhijian.

The reason is that they debated the advantages and disadvantages of Confucianism and Christianity.Neither of them knew the other so little, not even superficially, and certainly of no real significance.So the topic quickly got off topic, and the official began to show off his superiority.This is the best era of Ming Dynasty in hundreds of years. Daming defeated Tatar, took back Hami, and opened the sea ban.Their emperor is wise and wise, and he can be called a generation of Mingjun.Their crown prince is well-known, and it seems that he is not far behind.

This is the proudest era for the Ming people. After experiencing the Tumu Fortress Change and Concubine Wan Gui, it was the first time that they were so deeply proud of their emperor.Luo Zhijian has a complicated mentality towards Ming Dynasty. He not only surrenders to the power of Ming Dynasty, but also has a deep desire for all these.In his eyes, everything in Daming belongs to God, and now it is only temporarily occupied by a group of pagans. His mission is to return this continent to the embrace of God.

He had seen those vulnerable Ming soldiers who treated every Frangji roughly in Guangzhou Port.He has also seen the grain transport ships of the Ming Dynasty, and in his opinion, these ships that can only be loaded with waste and the warships of the Frangji people have no chance of winning when they encounter them.However, they occupy this fertile land. Even the poorest peasants eat clean meals, and the humblest servants have gorgeous clothes to wear.

When this seemingly ignorant and arrogant official showed off the strength of the Ming Dynasty to Luo Zhijian, Luo Zhijian used his own country's fleet to occupy Manlajia with only [-] warships as a rebuttal, and Manlajia was a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, which counted as half It is the territory of Ming Dynasty.The official replied casually: "Our newly built navy in Fuzhou will definitely drive you out."

In fact, if this matter was leaked, it would be leaked. Luo Zhijian only knew so many people in the capital, and he couldn't spread the word if he wanted to.But Luo Zhijian is still useful to Zhu Houzhao, so Zhu Houzhao doesn't want to tear his face, so he can't directly restrict Luo Zhijian's actions.Zhu Houzhao didn't want to do this, and Luo Zhijian didn't want to embarrass too much face with Daming's royal family, and he couldn't be sure that Daming's move was to compete against Portugal, not to mention his own life was still in his hands.He was testing Zhu Houzhao's bottom line, for example, he wanted to write a letter to his friends in Quanzhou.

Zhu Houzhao agreed to him straight away. It was not a difficult task. Everyone was a citizen of Ming Dynasty. Zhu Houzhao still didn't believe that he couldn't handle a businessman.Luo Zhijian turned around to ask for news from Du Ruo, but unfortunately Du Ruo pretended not to understand what he was saying, and talked to him about irrelevant things. Luo Zhijian, who had just learned Chinese, naturally couldn't understand much.Luo Zhijian couldn't find a small translator to translate. The little translator had already gotten along with the people in Siyi Pavilion, and Luo Zhijian no longer trusted him.

Turning the page to October, Zhu Youtang's old illness had another cough all day long, but fortunately he was in good health and could hold on.The older Zhu Youtang was, the more prominent his old physical illnesses were.Especially in winter, I can't live in peace all winter.Zhu Youtang has gradually handed over the power in his hands to Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Youtang is very satisfied with the few things Zhu Houzhao has done in the past few years, and Zhu Youtang no longer treats him like a child.

This situation made the Empress Dowager Zhou's mind active again.The empress dowager is very old, and she can't chew food anymore, but her head is not completely broken, and she still knows to fight for the interests of the Zhou family.

What she wants to fight is Zhu Houzhao's idea of ​​marriage.Zhu Houzhao is only 12 years old, but for the ancients, 12 years old is already an age for getting engaged, and when he is a little older, he can marry his fiancée and fiances at the age of fourteen or five.

The Zhou family prospered because of being a relative, and the Empress Dowager Zhou also hoped that the Zhou family would produce a queen, or a favored prince and concubine.Everyone knows that Zhu Youtang's brothers have no relationship with him.Therefore, it is probably impossible to play the prince's idea. According to Zhu Houwei's current favor, he can still try it, but Zhu Houwei is only eight years old now, and the Empress Dowager Zhou can't wait for that time.

After all the calculations, Zhu Houzhao is the most suitable, no matter his age, character or identity is considered good.It is the most suitable match with your favorite grandniece.The grand-niece that the Empress Dowager Zhou spoke of was the ten-year-old Zhou Huilian, the great-granddaughter of Changning Bo Zhou Yu.Zhou Huilian's appearance is actually average, and she is not outstanding in the circle of noble girls in the capital.

The only thing Zhou Huilian can rely on is the favor of the Empress Dowager.And the Empress Dowager's favor comes from her appearance similar to Zhou's.What old people miss most is when they were young, so when they met Zhou Huilian who looked so similar to him, Zhou couldn't help not liking her.

Zhou felt that her whole life was spent in Huang Lian, and what happened to her when she was a child was that a fishbone was buried deep in her throat and she couldn't swallow it.When there was a seemingly reparable opportunity, Zhou would desperately treat Zhou Huilian well. It seemed that as long as Zhou Huilian was well, the shadow of her childhood would be wiped away.

As long as there is something about wormwood as a princess, Zhou Huilian will have it if she wants it.Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhang are holding back their efforts to raise their daughter, but unfortunately, she is the only one who is working hard, Mrs. Zhang doesn't take her seriously at all.

When Zhou Huilian had just learned to speak fully and began to be taught to read, Ai Cao was still dozing off in her brother's arms.When Zhou Huilian started to learn how to knit women's reds, Ai Cao had already started to grow flowers and plants, and was praised by the nobles all over the capital.When Zhou Huilian was old enough to enter the social circle of noble girls in the capital, Ai Cao was already the idol of most girls in the capital.

In this battle, the Zhang family, who had no intention of fighting, completely defeated the Zhou family.But Zhou didn't think it was Zhou Huilian's or her own business. In her eyes, it was just the reason for the natural status of wormwood.In her heart, Zhou Huilian is the most beautiful woman in the world, and she deserves the best memories from the best man.

First of all, Zhu Youtang felt that this matter was very unreliable, and he didn't think there was anything good about the child of the Zhou family.But Zhou insisted, Zhu Youtang had no choice but to say that he would think about it.Mrs. Zhang even opposed it with all her strength. The child raised by Mrs. Zhou was always a little wishful thinking and had a big temper. It was not she who served Zhu Houzhao after marrying her, but perhaps Zhu Houzhao who served her.

The Zhou family didn't know what the emperor and queen thought. When the empress dowager heard that the Zhang family was about to call Zhou Huilian into the palace, they thought it was a sure thing and began to celebrate secretly.Soon there were rumors in the capital that the Zhou family was going to have a crown prince.

Zhu Houzhao, who had been buried in the accounting books of the Ministry of Finance, was probably the last to know about this matter. Before that, he had been smoked to death by Du Ruo's vinegar juice.Du Ruo was very interested in teasing him these days, and he began to be tense all day long. Zhu Houzhao, who knew Du Ruo well, knew that something must have been wrong.

But I haven't done anything wrong recently, could it be because I gave the wormwood the porcelain doll he gave me a few days ago?But Du Ruo never cared about such trivial matters.Now hearing the news, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing.

After returning to the palace, Zhu Houzhao hadn't been intimate with Du Ruo for a long time. In order to appease the annoyed Du Ruo, Zhu Houzhao had to take the initiative to give Du Ruo his own white and tender tofu.As a result... Du Ruo is naturally quite satisfied.

Although he is not ashamed of the Zhou family's manners, the Zhang family will still give the Zhou family the dignity they deserve.It's just that Zhou's took a rest for a few years, and Zhu Youtang's patience was almost exhausted in these two years.The Zhou family had great kindness to Zhu Youtang, and Zhu Youtang naturally remembered it by himself, but when someone repeatedly used this kindness to talk about things, Zhu Youtang was not so happy.

As a woman from a poor and humble background who was favored by the emperor, Zhou's appearance is naturally not ugly, and she can even be said to be a beauty.Zhu Huilian, who resembled her, was naturally a little beauty, but her domineering appearance ruined all the careful preparations.

Zhu Houzhao was on the attic on the second floor to peek at what Miss Zhou looked like.With an oval face and small red lips, it can be seen that she is a bright beauty, but she is too arrogant at such a young age, and she always has a neither salty nor light expression towards Mrs. Zhang, without any respect at all.

"I don't want her to be my sister-in-law, she hates her the most." Ai Cao pursed her lips and whispered to Zhu Houzhao.Zhu Hou took care of her bitterness and hatred, and said with a smile: "Do you know what a sister-in-law is?"

"Anyway... Anyway, I just don't like her, she always reports to my ancestors."

Zhu Houzhao patted her head and comforted her softly: "She won't be your sister-in-law. May I find you the best sister-in-law in the world? He is the most beautiful person in the world, and he will be the most beautiful woman in the world. My favorite sister-in-law." It was the one who followed from modern times.

"Then does she like brothers? Will she plant jasmine flowers to accompany Ai Cao?" Ai Cao looked at Zhu Houzhao expectantly.

Looking at the big wet eyes of wormwood, Zhu Houzhao replied duplicity: "Yes, yes." Brothers who like themselves also like wormwood... Well, judging by Du Ruo's appearance, he probably won't reject the little princess wormwood, right? .However, Zhu Houzhao just thought about it in his heart.As for the facts, only Zhu Houzhao himself knows.

Thinking of Du Ruo's tangled expression when he first met Zhu Houwei, and Du Ruo's attitude towards the little princess, Zhu Houzhao could only selectively forget these memories.

The author has something to say: let's start with a chapter, what was owed yesterday, try to make it up in the next few days, the time is uncertain.Another chapter is coming in the evening.
