On the eighth day of May in the fifty-second year of Hongxing, the Ming court in Yingtianfu officially announced to the world that the father of Emperor Hongxing of the Ming Dynasty, the Taishang Emperor Chongzhen, who had abdicated for fifty-two years, was in the longevity hall of Laoshan Palace because of brain damage.

Died. During Chongzhen's illness, Emperor Hongxing was always by his side and performed filial piety at his bedside (for about half an hour). Unfortunately, the emperor was old and seriously ill, so the treatment failed and he passed away!

On the same day, the Ming Dynasty also issued an edict announcing that a grand state funeral would be held for Emperor Chongzhen in the next year, the fifty-third year of Hongxing!

Why did it take a year to delay the burial of Emperor Chongzhen? Was it because the filial son was reluctant to bury his father? Of course not. The reason why Emperor Chongzhen could not be buried immediately was because there were too many filial sons and grandchildren of Chongzhen who had to come to Yingtian Mansion to attend the funeral!

And Emperor Chongzhen’s ability to spread branches and branches is so great. Except for Antarctica, there are currently no descendants of Chongzhen. Other continents in the world already have children, grandchildren or great-grandchildren of Chongzhen, including Africa! Emperor Chongzhen even has a black grandson.

!

One of the sons of Emperor Chongzhen, named Zhu Ciran, was born in 108th century. After graduating from middle school, he was admitted to the Naval Academy. After graduating from the Navy, he worked in the Navy for ten years, ranging from an ordinary officer to the captain of a battleship.

He has also served in the Little Western Fleet for a long time and has been to Africa several times. Somehow, he fell in love with the Sanlan Kingdom on the African continent opposite Sambagel Island. After retiring from the navy, he started to study among those rich and powerful people.

The brothers got a lot of money from them, deceived a group of navy colleagues, recruited some hard-working men who wanted to get rich, and united with the Ariba dynasty of Oman to send troops to snatch Samba from the Kingdom of Portugal.

Gier and Sanlan Kingdom.

Among them, the Ariba Dynasty got Samba Gir, and Zhu Ciran got the Sanlan Kingdom, where he called himself the Duke of Sanlan Kingdom, became a local emperor who sold black slaves and ivory, and even married an Ethiopian.

Princess Ethiopia has been engaged in the black slave trade for a long time, and can be regarded as Zhu Ciran's "supplier". The two parties have a close relationship, and the marriage is expected.

And of course Zhu Ciran’s black wife is quite beautiful. She does not admit that she is black, but in fact she is not very black. Her face shape and hair are the same as those of white people from the Middle East. With such looks, she can certainly please Zhu Ciran.

The two were very happy and had a good relationship, raising a pair of children together.

Therefore, the grandson of Chongzhen, who was a black man in the imperial capital, was not an illegitimate child, but a descendant named Zhu Hefu who was listed in the Jade Certificate. Theoretically, there was a certain chance that he could continue on the throne of the Ming Dynasty!

These descendants of Emperor Chongzhen, who are spread across six continents, are now rushing to mourn each other. How can they do it for a year and a half each?

Therefore, the burial of Emperor Chongzhen has become a major international event! It will also trigger a series of chain reactions. So many kings, grand dukes, generals, marshals, and warlords with heavy armies will go to Nanjing.

A memorial service is held, and it takes at least a year to come back. Can people like Louis the Great, Peter I, the Iron Khan, and Li Singer (son of Li Jicheng) let go of this rare opportunity?

In addition, Emperor Aurangzeb, the grandfather of the Timur Empire in India, is 83 years old this year. Although he is still alive for the time being, his health is not very good. Moreover, the old rule of the Timurid Empire in India is that once the father dies (he is not dead either)

), son civil war.

Does the old man Aurangzeb have a lot of sons of governors who are leading troops outside? When he dies, his sons will beat him to pieces?

Although I am not dead yet, my sons are already gearing up, so the Timurid Empire in India will go to war at any time (Aurangzeb and his father Shah Jahan did not wait for me to die of illness before they started), and everything is going on

If you actively prepare, you will have no time to support the Ottoman Empire.

The tragic life of King Carlos II of Spain was about to come to an end. How could Louis the Great and Peter I let go of the Ottoman Empire, which had lost the support of two allies at the same time? Why not take the opportunity to beat up Mohammed IV?

In short, Chongzhen’s grand funeral must have been very “vigorous”

"Brother, the funeral clippers have been sent out for a year and a half, and everyone will be able to come back. However, there are still two great-grandsons of our father who I don't know should I invite over?"

The person who was talking to Zhu Cixiang in the Huangji Hall was the sad-looking Fu Wang Zhu Cibing. He is now the chief minister of the clan! The first minister in the Ming Dynasty, and he is quite capable. Among all the chief ministers in the Ming Dynasty, he is probably capable.

Get to the top!

Emperor Chongzhen is his biological father, so he is still mourning now. However, Ding You has not asked for bereavement leave because he has been adopted by King Fu Zhu Yousong. His father has already died once. According to the regulations, he cannot die a second time.

Dad.

In addition, someone has to take care of the huge mess in the Ming Dynasty! Zhu Cibing is the chief minister, and at this time, grief must be turned into strength.

Moreover, he, the first assistant, had to take on the responsibility of attending to the funeral of Emperor Chongzhen, so he would be buried with great splendor!

"What do you mean? Who are these two great-grandsons? Why are you asking whether you should invite them?" Zhu Cixiang was a little confused.

Zhu Cibing frowned and said: "These two are your grandsons, one is named Alfonso VII and the other is Pedro II."

Zhu Cixiang frowned: "Alfonso VII, Pedro II, they sound familiar."

"One of them is the king of Portugal and the other is the king of Brazil."

"What?" Zhu Cixiang's eyes widened, "How did they become my grandchildren? Who did it?"

In fact, Zhu Cihong knew that Alfonso VI made Henry cuckold, but he did not know that Henry also slept with that stupid concubine Maria Francesca.

"This" Zhu Cibing smiled bitterly, "Of course it was King Henry who did it. King Henry knew that Alfonso VI was not very good, so he quietly did him a favor and slept with Queen Maria!"

This is to do good deeds without leaving a name! Zhu Cihong said in his heart: This Henry is really suitable to be the Archduke of Austria, and he is also a "half-length castle"!

Zhu Cibing added: "Later, he somehow convinced Maria Francesca to go to Tunisia to plead guilty to Alfonso VI, and he also personally escorted Maria Francesca, who was forgiven by Alfonso VI, to Lisbon.

As a result, Maria Francesca gave birth to a son for Prince Pedro, who is now King Pedro II of Brazil."

Henry Chu can be regarded as a good person who has done good things to the end. He knows that Maria Francesca is not very satisfied with Prince Pedro and only gave birth to a daughter for him. Therefore, Prince Pedro’s succession to the throne of Brazil is also a problem, so

He did another favor and made Maria Francesca pregnant and gave birth to a son for Prince Pedro.

Zhu Cibing knew both of these two things. His relationship with Henry was already very good (the charter king was good with everyone), and when they went to India together, their relationship became even closer. Moreover, Zhu Cibing became a celebrity soon after returning from India.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, in charge of the diplomatic power of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Henry have always maintained secret communication channels.

"Who knows about their relationship with me?" Zhu Cixiang thought about it for a moment.

"Not many," Zhu Cibing said, "Emperor Louis may have known that King Henry had an affair with Maria Francesca."

"Then don't invite me," Zhu Cihong paused, "There's no need to invite Henry's family. His surname has been changed to Mancini now. Let him live his own life in Austria!"

"It's better not to invite him," Zhu Cihong paused, "There is no need to invite Henry's family. Henry has changed his surname to Mancini now, so let him live his own life in Austria! As for the others, neither
