Chapter 231 Zhang Rui's End
Zhou Chong couldn't help but feel excited when he got the news that he would meet Emperor Zhengde tomorrow afternoon. He checked the gifts he had to bring when he met Emperor Zhengde. There was no need to bring those ordinary gifts. Today, Gu Dayong
As mentioned, those ordinary gifts can be delivered directly to the palace, and only those more special gifts can be given to Emperor Zhengde by Zhou Chong himself.
Speaking of Zhou Jin, there are quite a few gifts. Needless to say, two of the Flang machine cannons have been played by Emperor Zhengde for a few days, and I don’t know if they have been broken by him. There are also multiple telescopes
These, like artillery, are gifts given to Emperor Zhengde, and Zhou Chong wanted to promote them in the Ming army with Zhengde's hand, hoping that with these two things, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army can be increased.
Next is corn and sweet potatoes. Both crops are powerful tools that concern the stability of the country and the country. Especially now the Ming Dynasty has encountered the Little Ice Age, and natural disasters are constantly occurring in China. These two high-yield crops are undoubtedly life-saving for the Ming Dynasty.
Immortal Grass, I wonder how many people will survive because of corn and sweet potatoes in the future?
In addition to the four most important gifts above, the rest are some gifts given to Emperor Zhengde himself by Zhou Chong, such as chili sauce and sea steak powder named MSG, and twenty mirrors and some glasses.
utensils, such as teapots, tea cups, glass vases, etc.
Zhou Chong's gifts were carefully prepared, and some of them had a deeper meaning, such as sea steak noodles. Zhou Chong planned to convince Emperor Zhengde to let him do the sea steak noodles business with him, and do this.
Under the banner of Zhengde, some regulations can be established at that time. The court and itself monopolize the business. No one is allowed to participate, so that the sea sausages can be overfished.
In addition, he did not intend to make money by the Flang machine cannon and telescope. Instead, he wanted to use these two technologies to exchange for the Ming Navy's dispatch. When the Portuguese attacked Malacca next year, he would suddenly appear with the Ming Navy and completely let him go
Portugal's plan to invade South China Sea went bankrupt, and he could even control the Strait of Malacca in one fell swoop. At that time, this natural danger was there. If the Portuguese wanted spices from South China Sea and goods from the Ming Dynasty, they could only look at their faces.
Finally, it is about Japanese envoys like Ashikaga Ikki. Now in the Ming Dynasty's smuggling trade, Japan is a very important transaction target. Nearly 30% of the goods are shipped to Japan every year, so Zhou Chong wanted to take advantage of their civil strife.
Opportunity, if you want to increase your influence on Japan through the Ashikaga family, or even have the opportunity, you can directly control the political situation of Japan, just with the current Zhou Chong power. It is really unrealistic to want to control Japan, unless you have the support of the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise,
It is impossible to accomplish it by himself alone.
After counting the gifts, Zhou Chong sorted out the things he would say tomorrow again in his heart, and then he felt much more at ease. It was already dinner time, and Jinxuan asked him to come and ask him to have a meal.
When he came to the restaurant with a heavy smile, the first thing he saw was Bai Mengwan's concerning gaze.
When Zhang Rui came today, Bai Mengwan also found out quickly, so she was worried all day long. Zhou Chong was only concerned about having dinner with Gu Dayong, and later he was happy about meeting Emperor Zhengde tomorrow, but he forgot about it.
Tell her about Zhang Rui's unluckyness, which made Bai Mengwan worry for so long.
Thinking of this, Zhou Chong also showed an apology to Bai Mengwan, and when he walked to her, he whispered: "Don't worry, Zhang Rui is unable to protect himself this time. If he has the chance in the future, I will definitely seek justice for your sisters.
!”
Hearing the whispers in Zhou Chong's ears, especially when he heard Zhang Rui unable to protect himself, which made her stunned for a moment, and then her face showed an extremely excited expression, and even her eyes were a little wet.
After all, their sisters were desperate by Zhang Rui before, and their family property was taken away by the other party. Now they finally have hope of revenge.
Thinking of this, Bai Mengwan felt her nose sore, and the huge grievance hidden in her heart suddenly burst out, which made her no longer care about it, and she suddenly threw herself into Zhou Chong's arms and started crying.
Zhou Chong didn't expect that Bai Mengwan's reaction was so big. He felt the soft body in his arms. He didn't hug him, nor did he not hug him. Jin Xuan, Cheye'er and others in the restaurant were also stunned. They were also
I don’t know the grudge between Bai Mengwan and Zhang Rui, nor do I know what Zhou Chong said to Bai Mengwan just now, but she actually hugged Zhou Chong in front of everyone regardless of etiquette, and she was crying so sadly?
Feeling the eyes of the girls in the restaurant, Zhou Chong felt extremely embarrassed. Among them, Jin Xuan looked at her with doubts, and there was also a hint of jealousy. Although she wanted Zhou Chong to take Bai Mengwan as her concubine, she saw it.
When my husband was held in his arms by another woman, he naturally couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
Although Xie Lingyun next to Jinxuan's appearance was calm, her eyes were already a little unfriendly when she looked at Zhou Chong. She had long felt that a young and beautiful woman like Bai Mengwan was a little unsafe to stay by Zhou Chong. Now she confirmed her guess.
As for Jianer, she had a smile on her face. As Zhou Chong's sister, she would naturally not be as jealous as Jin Xuan and Ling Yun. Moreover, she had the best relationship with Bai Mengwan, so she wanted Bai Mengwan to get into them.
The Zhou family's gate will be more convenient for them to get along in the future, and she can also have more nephews and nieces.
Only Qianla was the simplest, looking at Zhou Chong and Bai Mengwan who were hugging each other with a confused look on her face, and then looked at Jin Xuan and Ling Yun and the others, not understanding what was going on.
Finally, Bai Mengwan vented the grievances in her heart, and then suddenly felt something was wrong. She hurriedly pushed Zhou Chong away, and her face was also embarrassed and didn't know what to say. Her face turned even more blushing as if it was about to drip. In the end, she finally managed to
Cai stammered and said to the person in the hall: "I...I..., Master Zhou... Jinxuan... Sister Jinxuan... Yes... I'm sorry!"
Bai Mengwan said at the end, and finally, she was so thin-skinned that she could no longer hold on. She covered her face and whispered, "I'm so embarrassed!", then turned around and ran out of the restaurant. It seemed that she didn't plan to eat supper anymore.
.
However, Bai Mengwan could escape, but Zhou Chong had to stay and explain. At that moment, under the urge of Jin Xuan and the others, he told the grudge between Bai Mengwan and Zhang Rui. As a result, Jin Xuan and the sentimental women listened to Bai Junwan.
After the sisters' experience, they all shed tears.
"I usually see Sister Junwan's personality gentle and kind, Qingqing is so lively and cute, but I didn't expect that they would have such an experience. That Zhang Rui is really worse than a beast. Not only did he harm the Bai family, but he also made Sister Junwan's.
My whole life was ruined!" After hearing this, Jinxuan spoke up very rarely. This was the first time Zhou Chong saw her so angry.
"Brother, you must avenge your sister Junwan and others, and Zhang Rui must not let him go. Qingqing has never been a father like him!" Jian'er said with tears on her face at this time, in her heart, her own
Brother Zhou Chong is omnipotent, so even though he knows that Zhang Rui is in charge of the Dongchang, Jianer also believes that Zhou Chong can avenge his good sisters. After Qian La figured out the meaning of the eunuch, he also had some disagreement with the experience of the Bai sisters.
Dare to believe it.
In contrast, Xie Lingyun was much calmer. She stood there with a frown and asked a question that was also confused by Zhou Chong for a long time: "What did Zhang Rui experience in the capital that will greatly change his temperament,
Otherwise, with his previous performance, he wouldn’t be those ruthless people?"
Unfortunately, only Zhang Rui himself knows the answer to this question. Although Zhou Chong and Xie Lingyun are both extremely smart, they cannot guess Zhang Rui's experience out of thin air.
It's a coincidence that just as Zhou Chong finished talking about Zhang Rui, Jin Xuan and the others were talking about the Bai sisters. Suddenly, someone outside reported that it was a young father-in-law in the palace asking for a meeting, and Zhou Chong took care of him next time.
No food, so I came to the front hall again, but found out that he knew the person who came. He was one of the little eunuchs around Gu Dayong today, and later he was sent to escort Zhang Rui into the palace. If Zhou Chong remembered correctly
, This little eunuch should be named Wang Gui.
Seeing Zhou Chong coming in, the little eunuch named Wang Gui immediately stepped forward and bowed with a flattering look on his face, "I have seen Mr. Zhou!"
"Eunuch Wang, don't be polite. I don't know why my father-in-law has returned. Could it be that Eunuch Gu has given me any new instructions?" Zhou Chong helped the other party up and said with a smile. Although the other party was just a little eunuch, it was just the saying
It’s easy to survive the King of Breaking, but it’s hard to deal with the little devil. What’s more, Wang Gui is still a confidant around Gu Dayong. The more such a person is, the more he cannot offend him.
Seeing that even Eunuch Gu had to curry favor with him, Wang Gui enjoyed it very much. The smile on his face became even brighter: "I came here this time, and I was indeed instructed by my father-in-law.
A news that after the servant sent Zhang Rui to Eunuch Zhang today, Eunuch Zhang not only beat Zhang Rui up, but also removed Zhang Ruidong Factory Admiral and Eunuch. Now he has been sent to the Zhidian Supervisor to do work.
My father-in-law also asked me to give the young master a message, saying that the people below were ignorant and offended the young master. Now he has dealt with it. I hope the young master will not blame him!"
Although the so-called Zhidian Prison is one of the twelve Prisons of the Inner Palace as the Sili Prison, its power and status are very different. The Sili Prison and the Imperial Male Prison are both civil and military, and the Twelve Prisons have the most powerful and future.
The department, but the direct palace supervisor only cared for the cleaning of various palaces. In other words, Zhang Rui suddenly fell from a dignified admiral of the East Factory to a cleaner in the palace. Although this kind of treatment is not as direct as a murderer,
Chapter completed!
