Theoretically, it is a good thing for the two guys, the eldest son and the second son, to sneak out of the palace. After all, under the banner of sharing the worries of the father and the emperor, this is great filial piety.

However, the eldest princess Zhu Jingxue also ran out with Zhu Cixuan, but was left behind by her two brothers on Sakhalin Island, saying that she would stay with her pregnant Xingzi and did not take her out to sea.

The reason why Xingzi asked the letter to complain was that Zhu Jingxue had the idea.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was slumped on the chair, rubbed his forehead and sighed: "Send someone to Sakhalin Island to bring Jingxue and Xingzi back to the capital, and let Jingxue live with Xingzi in the Liao Palace. These two bastards will never give up until they make me angry!"

There is no secret in the capital, especially when Emperor Chongzhen did not deliberately block the news. From civil and military officials to promoted to the small people, everyone knew that the emperor's second son had sneaked out of the palace and gathered with the emperor's eldest son and went to sea after going to the sea.

The people did not care much about the news that the emperor's eldest son and the emperor's second son went to sea.

Emperor Chongzhen expanded his territory countless times, and the two princes had the spirit of being fathers. This was a good thing, even if the third prince or even the younger princes went out.

At the very least, this also shows that the next emperor of the Ming Dynasty still attaches importance to the overseas pioneering and martial arts style. As long as he does not support Emperor Chongzhen's policies, the lives of his own people will definitely be better.

For the ministers in the court, this is completely different.

It is a good thing for a prince to pursue martial arts, and the military generals and nobles are naturally happy. It is actually not unacceptable to civil officials because they can also gain benefits.

The problem is that the country's foundation.

The biggest problem with the entire Ming Dynasty now is that the country's foundation is not qualified to enter the Eastern Palace, and it must be the second son of the emperor.

As for the eldest son and the third son of the emperor, there is actually little hope. After all, one was born by Concubine Wan and the other was born by Concubine Yi, neither of which was born by the queen's main palace, so there is naturally no possibility of a crown prince.

But the problem now is that the two adult princes have all gone out to wander. In the palace, except for a nine-year-old prince, there are a group of princes of a few years old. Once something goes wrong, it will inevitably be a turmoil.

Especially when the eldest son of the emperor and the second son go out together, once something happens to the second son of the emperor, the third son of the emperor will be able to enter the Eastern Palace, but the King of Liao doesn't know how much trouble it will be.

This kind of turmoil is unacceptable to any civil and military official, especially when the emperor's second son has not yet been married, it is even more unacceptable.

In just a few days, a large number of officials in the court had already begun to write letters, demanding that Emperor Chongzhen have already decided to establish the crown prince as soon as possible.

Of course, these memorials were kept by Emperor Chongzhen.

Have you decided to be the prince early? How old is he? Why should I decide the prince now? Let officials have a second loyal partner?

When Empress Zhou saw Emperor Chongzhen rubbing her forehead and was worried, she felt unbearable, but she still raised the question that made Emperor Chongzhen even more confused: "Xue'er is now twenty years old, how many years does Your Majesty plan to stay by his side?"

Emperor Chongzhen snorted, "It is for her to make decisions about Xueer's marriage. If I don't point out the marriage for her, let Xueer decide whoever comes to propose."

The marriage between the royal family and nobles has been a rule since ancient times, but Emperor Chongzhen did not look down on this rule.

If the emperor has the ability, he can still suppress the world without marrying his daughter. If the emperor has no ability, no matter how many daughters he marrys, he will still end up in a bad situation.

Do you need to marry your daughter to win people's hearts?

Things have long proved that when Emperor Chongzhen was in a bad mood, no one dared to be happy, and there was no need to marry his daughter to win over the nobles.

Queen Zhou said, "Xue'er has long been interested in Prince Zhang Shize of the British, I'm afraid you don't know yet?"

Emperor Chongzhen immediately covered his chest: "Okay, please stop talking about the queen. I will just go back and give the marriage."

After coming back to his senses, Emperor Chongzhen said suspiciously: "No, how could Xueer know that little bastard Zhang Shize?"

Queen Zhou smiled and said, "You are concerned about military and national affairs every day, so how can you pay attention to Xue'er? Xue'er has gone out to the palace to play once or twice. It is normal to meet Shize's child. If I hadn't discovered it, I don't know when I would hide it."

The cabbage that I have been raising for 19 years has actually been hooked away by Zhang Shize, the little bastard! Zhang Zhiji, I can't spare you!

Emperor Chongzhen, who was furious, simply said to Wang Chengen: "Go and pass on Zhang Zhiji to see me!"

Wang Chengen bowed and responded, ran to the Governor's Office of the Five Army and called Zhang Zhiji to the palace, and told Zhang Zhiji in advance when he was on the way. Emperor Chongzhen's face was not very good.

Zhang Zhiji was also very confused. He was thinking about the barbarians in the Governor's Office of the Five Army, but why did he suddenly call himself into the palace? Especially Emperor Chongzhen's face was not very good-looking?

After Zhang Zhiji finished his ritual, Emperor Chongzhen did not order someone to give Zhang Zhiji the seat as usual. Instead, he snorted coldly: "This child Shize is not bad."

Emperor Chongzhen's words were a bit sarcastic. Zhang Zhiji was even more confused. His son knew that he had no bad habits in his noble children, and had never even been to brothels.

If you have to pick out something bad, it is probably that this child always likes to fight, kill, but what is the problem? When it comes to killing, can you still compare yourself to yourself? What the British Duke of all generations need is to fight, kill and kill and loyalty.

Before Zhang Zhiji could figure out what was going on, Emperor Chongzhen said directly: "I told you directly that the eldest princess and Shize are in love, and I intend to marry them."

Zhang Zhiji hesitated immediately.

There are many benefits of marrying the royal family, but the disadvantages are also obvious.

Marrying a princess cannot be called marrying, but she can be called Shang Princess. After marriage, she cannot live in the same yard. The princess lives in the princess's mansion and the horse-bearing mansion. She cannot take concubines. Even if two people want to meet, they will often be troubled by the nanny.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw that Zhang Zhiji was a little hesitant, he felt even more unhappy and said with a cold face: "What, my eldest princess has even clinged to your British Duke's Mansion? If Zhang Aiqing doesn't want to do this, I'll give up on this matter."

Zhang Zhiji panicked and bowed and said, "Your Majesty has ruined the evil minister, but I am happy for a moment. I don't know what to say."

Emperor Chongzhen snorted again and said, "Don't think I can't see what you are worried about. Since Xueer, the child, went out of the palace to play privately, met your Shize, and that child, first, I will not talk to you about the princess rules.

I tell you that when the sect’s mansion and the Ministry of Rites have decided on their days, let the child Shize carry a sedan chair to the palace gate to carry Xueer through the door.

As for the Princess' Mansion and the Prince Consort's Mansion, I don't have any money. If you don't give it to me, you can spend the money to build a mansion for your two children. Apart from Xue'er's personal palace maid, there is no nanny or eunuch. You can prepare it for them yourself."

Zhang Zhiji immediately felt relieved and bowed and said, "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"

Emperor Chongzhen felt uncomfortable again when he looked at Zhang Zhiji's appearance.

What's wrong with him? My daughter is not the honor of your Zhang family to marry into your family? She is even more feminine in her appearance? Are you happy? I'm not happy!

Emperor Chongzhen, who was very upset, snorted coldly again: "What's wrong with Mughal?"

Zhang Zhiji restrained his joyful mind and bowed and said, "I will tell you that the three Mughals are no longer able to fight anymore. I guess they will not be able to hold on until the 20th year of Chongzhen."

Emperor Chongzhen said, "Let Zhang Shize get out of Assam to take a single guard. He is not allowed to come back before the wedding date. Don't let me see his shadow, otherwise I will hit him once I see him."

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen's nose was not the nose, face was not the face, Zhang Zhiji thought to himself that the rumor was true, and he bowed to respond.

It is rumored that Emperor Chongzhen’s favorite was the eldest princess Zhu Jingxue, and he even had to be above the eldest son and the second son of the emperor. Now that his little bastard has gotten the eldest princess secretly promised that this has made his father-in-law unhappy.

If it were someone else's daughter, Zhang Zhiji would naturally ignore it. He would not have to take this threat seriously. He would dare to beat his son once he saw him, and he would dare to lead the big soldiers from the Beijing camp to demolish his family!

But if it were Emperor Chongzhen's daughter, he would have to be cautious about this matter. If he really beat Shize's child up once a day, he would have to watch it, and even stand beside him and applaud.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiji felt a little sad again.

At most, others say such words, and it would be fine if they were angry. However, Emperor Chongzhen has always been known for his magnanimity. How could he have any better if he is concerned about it?

With a headache, I suddenly heard a cough coming from behind the curtain. Emperor Chongzhen's face froze and he snorted coldly: "Forget it, I'm angry for a moment, just look at the arrangement. I know that Shize's child, too. He has always been steady and is a good match for Xueer.

After going back, I will see if I have to do some work for him in the military palace. I will always have some achievements in order to start giving the marriage.”

Zhang Zhiji was immediately overjoyed. He was now stable and his son didn't have to be driven to Assam.

After Zhang Zhiji bowed to thank him again, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "Speaking of this, the matter between Mughal should be resolved.

Since those barbarians can hold on until next year, let them hold on. The military government should prepare to increase troops to the Mughals and strive to pacify the Mughals before the 21st year of Chongzhen."

Zhang Zhiji bowed and replied first, and then said, "Your Majesty, Xinlehou has sent more than once letters, saying that the Suez Canal has been opened, and even Li Chengyan and others who had gone to sea before were traveling to the European continent through the Suez Canal.

Xinlehou means, should we take advantage of this opportunity to win Ottoman down in one fell swoop?"

Emperor Chongzhen squinted his eyes and said, "Now? Ottoman? I think he does not want to pacify Ottoman, but plans to take advantage of this opportunity to come back.

I replied to him and told him to stay honestly with the Ottoman side, and wait until the Mughal affairs are settled before talking about anything else, and don’t think about what’s wrong all day long.”

Emperor Chongzhen was not interested in the proposal of Xinlehou Liu Wenbing.

It’s right that I’m so stupid, but I’m not so arrogant that I can start to fight the whole world with multiple lines at the same time.

Now the Penglai Continent, which is in the Americas in official history, is in conflict. It is still unclear how much troops and material resources are needed. Zheng Zhilong in Africa is also fighting with football hooligans. The Ming Dynasty is about to fight against Mughal again, which is equivalent to fighting on the third line.

If we send troops to fight the Ottomans now, wouldn’t it be the fourth-line war? The national strength of the Ming Dynasty can support it?

What an international joke? Even if the troops can support it, the national treasury can support it. I don’t have that plan.

It is wise to start a complete and powerful Ottoman before consuming a lot of Ottoman's national strength?

War will kill people!

What the Ming Dynasty lacks the most now is population, and soldiers are even rarer. They still have to rely on them to guard the huge territory. Now they will be sent to the battlefield for consumption?

Besides, now we will deal with the barbarians. Who will be left to confront? Only one Europe is left. How many days can those slags last in front of the army?

After striking them to death, what else in the world is going to fight?

The answer is that there is no more people in the world who need to fight by themselves, and I can only stay in the Ming Dynasty honestly, or occasionally go out for private visits on a private basis, or do nothing like a lion to inspect the territory.

Anyway, he made up his mind not to confront Ottoman for the time being, and Emperor Chongzhen said again: "What news has been sent back from Sakhalin Island?"

Zhang Zhiji bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the East China Sea Fleet is full of supplies and goes out to sea, and it is expected to arrive in Penglaizhou soon.

Just when they arrived in Penglai, they caught up with the winter. If they wanted to return, they would probably delay the next spring. If the eldest prince and the second prince wanted to come back, they would probably have to be next summer."

Emperor Chongzhen snorted coldly: "Remember to send a message to Kuhalin Island to let the people of the North Sea Fleet understand the situation on Penglai Island and see how many barbarians are on that continent!"

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't even understand how he was. Now that the artillery fire in the European continent is killing people, how could he have the energy to send people to develop the land there?

Besides, even in the later generations, the land can be said to be vast and sparsely populated. How could there be a large number of barbarians now, and the Ming army was defeated?

...

Looking at the shadow of the sails that appeared far ahead, Zhu Ciying said happily: "Look, it's probably Penglai!"

Zhu Cilang, who vomited like a dead dog along the way, said weakly: "It's finally coming soon. If this continues, I will die at the sea."

Zhu Ciying said: "It's okay, you will know when you return to the flight. If you vomit and vomit, you will get used to it and you will not be seasick."

Nanjuyi glanced at Zhu Ciying.
