Chapter 15 The King of Fortune Cooking in Luoyang City
Zhu Cijing did not expect that the princess of the Habsburg Dynasty was so beautiful, and he was lost for a moment. It was not until the man slowly walked closer and gave a curtsy, saying "See Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire" in broken Chinese that he came to his senses.
Fortunately, because it was a blind date meeting, he had enough pomp, but he did not let all the civil and military officials come to serve as the store, otherwise he would be disgraceful. However, there was still an official at the scene, Zeng Dezhao, the member of the Ministry of Works' Department of Military Affairs. He heard that this princess knew Spanish, and Zeng Dezhao was also there, so Zhu Cijiong summoned him as an interpreter.
I don’t know if this guy saw that he was out of control just now, Zhu Cijiu secretly drifted at Zeng Dezhao who was standing beside him. This guy lowered his head and stood quietly like a sculpture. I don’t know if this guy was pretending or he kept his posture and didn’t see anything. Forget it, what if he saw it, I don’t dare to say it everywhere.
Zhu Cijiong cleared his throat and smiled and said, "Welcome to Daming, the beautiful Princess Anna, don't you know you are still used to living?"
Zeng Dezhao's reaction was so fast. The previous second was like a sculpture, but as soon as Zhu Cijiu's words were finished, he immediately raised his head and talked to Princess Anna.
The princess' reaction was quite strange. She first looked up and looked at Zhu Cijing shyly, then lowered her head and said something softly.
When Zhu Cijiu saw her white and red skin, she almost lost her mind again. She quickly turned her gaze aside and stared at Zeng Dezhao's monkey butt face, waiting for him to translate.
Why does this feel a little weird? Zeng Dezhao translated awkwardly: "Emperor, Princess Anna said that Guanghan Palace is very beautiful, she likes it very much. She hopes to live in such a beautiful palace forever."
It’s not a big deal that Zeng Dezhao felt a little strange. Zhu Cijing didn’t tell him that the princess was here for a blind date. This is what it translated in the surface, but Princess Anna wanted to express this was not the case.
If you understand it from the perspective of blind date, her meaning should be: Master, I am very satisfied with you in all aspects, and I don’t know how you feel about me!
Well, foreigners are indeed direct enough, and Zhu Cijiu is naturally very satisfied with her. Who doesn’t want to have a beautiful beauty that makes people lose their minds? In addition, she represents the huge Holy Roman Empire and the Spanish Empire. Marrying her is equivalent to forming an alliance with two continental powers. Zhu Cijiu naturally wants to marry her even more now. However, the position of the queen of the main palace cannot be given to her. I wonder if she is willing to be a concubine?
Zhu Cijing said nervously: "This, I really want you to live in my palace forever, but you also know that the emperor of our Ming Empire cannot have only one wife. Moreover, my queen has already been decided, so I can only feel wronged that you are the imperial concubine. Are you willing?"
Princess Anna studied Chinese for several months on the way to the Ming Dynasty. She naturally couldn't understand such complicated sentences at this moment. She could only stare at Zeng Dezhao in a daze and wait for him to translate.
Zeng Dezhao only realized that this princess was here to marry, but what the emperor said, he really wanted to roll his eyes. This was the princess of the Holy Roman Empire and a direct descendant of the Habsburg Dynasty. It can be said that she was the most noble princess in the continent. The emperor actually made someone be a concubine. How could this be translated?
Zhu Cijing was nervously waiting for Princess Anna's reply. After waiting for a long time, he didn't say anything at all. Then he realized that Zeng Dezhao had not translated. What's wrong with this guy? Don't you know I'm very nervous? He glared at Zeng Dezhao fiercely, and asked with a smile on his face: "What's wrong, is this sentence difficult to translate?"
Zeng Dezhao was startled. The emperor rarely glared at others like this. It was estimated that if he didn't translate it, the emperor would be furious. He shook his head and said, "No, no, I am thinking about how to accurately translate the emperor's meaning to His Highness the Princess."
After saying that, he immediately started to translate.
Princess Anna's face darkened when she heard this. She could only be a concubine. Her father would never agree, but she also had a crush on the Emperor of the Ming Empire. She was so suitable for her age and was so handsome, and she ruled a powerful empire. There was no such person in Europe. If she wanted her to go back and marry her uncle, it would be better to be a concubine for the Emperor of the Ming Empire. So she gritted her teeth and blushed, "My father will not agree. Otherwise, we will notify my father after we hold a wedding. Even if he doesn't want to do so, he will have no choice."
Oh, the one who bought the cake, what happened to this Princess Anna? Zeng Dezhao couldn't believe his ears, but with the lesson he taught last time, he didn't dare to hesitate this time, and immediately translated the original words.
Zhu Cijing was stunned when he heard this. Why did it feel a bit like elopement? But if such a rare beauty wants to elope with him, it is really as exciting as it is. As for whether the Holy Roman Emperor would be angry about it, he was too lazy to think about it. If the raw rice is cooked and cooked rice is cooked, who is afraid of whom!
Even if the marriage was settled, Zhu Cijing was in a good mood, but now he could not let Princess Anna move into the palace. He had to explain to the two empress dowagers and Qin Mingyue. Since she likes Guanghan Palace so much, let her live there first.
Zhu Cijing was sitting on the dragon chariot and thinking about how to explain to the two empress dowagers and Qin Mingyue. A small eunuch suddenly came over and whispered a few words in Cao Huachun's ear. Cao Huachun nodded and bowed to Zhu Cijing and said, "Report to the emperor, the Regent Zhu Youjian Qiansui has urgent matters to ask for a meeting."
Oh no, I must have urged him to send troops to the northwest. What happened to Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong? It hasn't been captured by Luoyang and Xiangyang for so long. These two people are too naughty!
In fact, he really wrongly accused Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. The reason why they had not captured Luoyang and Xiangyang was not because they were too naughty, but because they were too cunning.
Like Li Zicheng, he had already contacted the inner responders in Luoyang City. As long as he sent a letter, he would immediately open the city gate to welcome him into the city. Luo** did not have the problem of attacking or not. The reason why he did not enter the city was that he did not want to be the first bird.
He has seen how powerful the Qin army is several times. He knew that his 100,000 troops were definitely not the opponent of the Qin army, not to mention that the imperial court had other soldiers, such as King Lu Yan, who was even more powerful than the Qin army. The so-called "shocking bird out of the gun" was shot. If he attacked Luoyang first, the imperial army would definitely point the finger at him. At that time, he would become the target of the imperial encirclement and suppression. The other three rebels could easily achieve their goals and retreat calmly. At least he would be crippled by the imperial army, or even lose his life if he was accidentally killed. Only idiots would do such a limelight-making thing!
So, he was waiting for news from the other three groups. Once one of them succeeds and is surrounded by the imperial army, he can take Luoyang, rob and retreat calmly.
As a result, he did not wait for the news of success, but waited for the bad news that the main force of the rebel army failed. The whole army was wiped out, and even his uncle Gao Yingxiang was caught!
What should I do? He didn't know that Zhu Cijiu would "hold" the Qin army for him. Under normal circumstances, the main force of the rebel army was completely wiped out, and it was his turn next, because Luoyang was closest to Shaanxi, and he might not be able to leave if he didn't leave.
If he wanted to escape, he had to consider his future survival issues. The robbed food and property he had not lasted for long, so he had to rob Luoyang. According to the legend of King Fu, he was rich enough to rival a country. Moreover, many royal family members fled into Luoyang City and brought countless food and treasures. He would not have to worry about food and drink after robbing this one for one or two years.
So, Li Zicheng notified the insider, searched for a dark and windy night, opened the city gate, rushed in in one fell swoop, caught all the royal family members inside, chopped them up, and robbed all the food, grass, gold, silver and treasures in the city, and put them on the car. Then, he found a big pot, cleaned the King of Fu, cooked it with hundreds of kilograms of venison in a pot, made a pot of "Fu Lu Banquet", and ate it with his subordinates!
