British princess?" Zhu Jun was suffocated when he heard this. The news was a little e-mailed. I remember that half a year ago, he gave some gifts to the British princess for political reasons. However, he did not have much hope for it. Later, he regretted it for a while. Although that shipment was not worth much money to Zhu Jun, it could not be given out for free. Unexpectedly, the unintentional willow planting in the past actually made a royal marriage.

"Yes, Your Majesty, what should you do?" Yang Side was embarrassed and reported to Zhu Jun one by one about the princess' arrival at the Ministry of Rites to the dispute and the fight with artists.

Zhu Jun nodded. The fight was nothing. It was just a collision between the two cultures. He smiled and passed. He pondered for a moment and said, "Let it go for now, but let the British envoy meet you. I will talk to him first."

Zhu Jun is not an idiot. It is absolutely impossible for a British princess to come from thousands of miles away because of his handsome and handsome Zhu Jun, and it is even more impossible for him to be shaken by Zhu Jun's tiger body. This matter must be clarified so as not to cause any sequelae.

Yang Side nodded and said, "The food, pay and weapons under the Cabinet have been prepared and are being transported to the six northern provinces. Li Dingguo, Li Xiao and Mu Jianming also submitted a letter of request for battle, ready to divide the troops and go to the hinterland of Jiangnan at any time to fight."

Zhu Jun suppressed his hand: "I don't care about the war in the north. Mu Jianming and Li Xiao are more brave, but they still lack some experience. Li Dingguo is a versatile talent. I feel relieved to have him in charge. Any decisive victory and planning are all deceptive. The opportunity is fleeting. How can I take care of it when I am far away? You pass on my orders to make them ready at any time. Once you have an opportunity, you can advance three routes immediately. Don't care about the gains and losses of one city and one pool, but you want to annihilate the enemy."

Yang Side replied: "Abide by the order."

Zhu Jun turned his head and said a few words to Mu Tianbo after he came back from Yunnan. After Mu Tianbo's face became much rosy, he felt a lot younger with his heart. Mu Tianbo reported some political affairs in Yunnan. Zhu Jun was obviously a little tired, so the two of them said goodbye to the palace together.

Early the next morning, a small eunuch from the palace came out to send an order to let the British Earl Jason enter the palace to meet him. Jason finally calmed down for two days, barely nourished his spirits, and was also very excited. His impression of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was mostly that he could listen to the oral narratives of local officials and the people, such as wise and virtuous, and kindness, as if he was a saint. Now that he could see it with his own eyes, he naturally fulfilled his wish for half a month to arrive in Haidu.

Jason hurriedly put on his dress and carefully examined his clothes. Then he put on his hat and left the wing room. The eunuch outside the wing room was still waiting. When he saw him coming out, he hurriedly guided him.

"Uncle, where are you going?" A voice came from the other side of the room. Princess Anne opened the paper window and stuck her head out. She was obviously just awakened. Her beautiful eyes looked at Jason with sleepy eyes, wearing a loose silk nightgown, stretching her hand, exposing her snow-white arms to the fullest.

The eunuch quickly turned his head aside and did not dare to look too much. Even if he went to see it, he couldn't see any flowers. Jason waved his hat at Princess Anne with a gentlemanly: "Anne. Why don't you sleep for a while? I want to go into the palace to meet the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Look!" Jason breeze at the eunuch: "This gentleman has been waiting for a long time."

The eunuch didn't know what they were saying. Seeing Jason blaming at him, he hurriedly asked the translation around him. The translation kept secretly looking at the beauty poking out of the window with casual eyes. He was very focused and ignored him.

"I'm going too. Please wait." Princess Anne seemed very wronged. The emperor was obviously her future husband. Why did she meet the first one instead of her? Although she came here just to get rid of men, she would rather choose this emperor with many wives and concubines. Her idea was very simple. The more men's wives, the more wives she had, naturally, wouldn't pay too much attention to one of the wives and wives. In this way, she would have more time to enjoy her life. She wouldn't have to snuggle in a certain man's arms like a kitten. But now that "fiance" disdained her and made her angry.

Jason shook his head regretfully: "Your Highness, this may not work. The Ming Dynasty is like Britain. It is a country with strict rules. If His Majesty the Emperor has not summoned you, he will not be allowed to enter the palace. Okay, I have to leave. You can let Susan chat with you."

The main reason why the king chose him to send the princess over was because he was the princess' uncle. But to be honest, Jason also caught a cold about this niece. This niece was a little weird. Yes, it was a bit weird. Her thinking seemed to be different from everyone else.

"Let's go!" Jason urged the translator to ask the eunuch to lead the way quickly. He must leave quickly.

Jason left the front door of the inn. It was still early in the morning and the fog was thick. However, citizens who had planned to work had gone out. There were many stalls for breakfast on the street, and a gorgeous carriage was parked in front of the door. It was obviously from the palace and was decorated very exquisitely. The eunuch invited Jason to get on the car. As the coachman shouted, the carriage moved, and finally got faster and faster. He passed through the street, through the increasingly bustling crowd, and drove towards the center of Haidu City.

Jason sat on the side of the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked at the lively street outside the car window, his heart was ups and downs. What should I say when I saw the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty? Can the Ming Dynasty and Britain reach an alliance? It is best for Britain to obtain the right to import and export some goods of the Ming Dynasty. As early as two years ago, Spain obtained the right to license porcelain. Almost all European countries must purchase the ceramics from the Ming Dynasty. The difference between the two countries is amazingly profitable. If the British can follow the Spanish, it is really an expectation. In addition, what does the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty think of the Dutch? Is the Ming Dynasty interested in joining the struggle against the Dutch monopoly of global trade? Can the Ming Dynasty send a fleet to teach the Dutch a lesson in Central Asia?

Jason felt the problems in his mind. Of course, the most advantageous method was to sign a strongest alliance agreement with the Ming Dynasty. If the prosperous Ming Dynasty was willing to support Britain in Europe, then Britain would likely turn the tide in the competition with the Dutch. The benefits for Britain were unimaginable. For example, the porcelain and jewelry donated by the Ming Dynasty to Princess Anne were worth millions of gold in Europe. With such a huge wealth, Britain could build more than ten warships to protect the sea.

All this is just a little greeting ceremony from the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

The carriage stopped abruptly, Jason got off the carriage, and he finally saw the center of the imperial city. This was definitely the most majestic palace he had seen. He suppressed his nervousness and followed the eunuch into an arched city gate. After passing the door opening, what he saw was an open square. The entire square was paved with marble. In front of him was a main hall, and on both sides were side halls with glazed roof tiles.

Jason entered the main hall after the eunuch's promotion. It was the morning tenth day of the morning. The civil and military officials stood in two rows on both sides of the main hall. Jason saw that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was still discussing matters with the ministers, and obviously no one paid too much attention to him, so he had to stand at the end of the hall and wait.

When Jason came to Haidu, he learned some Chinese language roughly. He could still listen to some common words, but he could not speak them. After arriving in Haidu, he was invited to a banquet every day. Although most of the words were clichés, his ears were called in his ears and his listening and reading ability of Chinese language was greatly improved. Although he could not speak, he could understand a rough idea.

Today, the court is talking about the construction of port roads in the development zones of six northern provinces. First, the Minister of Works made a summary and reported the progress of the project. Then the Ministry of Personnel and Dali Temple reported the money and grain consumed and the supervision. Jason was stunned and said that each project was consumed by millions of silver coins. It was really sensational. If this was placed in Europe, the project built with so many silver coins would definitely be reproached as great, but it was common to put it here.

Then the Ming Emperor who sat high on the Golden Hall began to inquire about the war in the north. A minister of the Ministry of Revenue stood up and said, "The emperor has issued an order to prepare for the northern expedition, but the Ministry of Revenue does not dare to neglect it. Now the money, grain and equipment required are well prepared."

Another Minister of War came forward and said, "The three generals, Li Dingguo, Mu Jianming, and Li Xiao, have sent me a letter of request for war, just waiting for His Majesty to issue a war manifesto to inspire the soldiers to fight the north."

The Minister of Rites stood out and said, "The manifesto has been written long ago, and I will read it for the emperor."

Zhu Jun nodded. He issued an order to prepare for the Jiangnan War long before he went to Japan to make the various troops prepare. Once Oboi was forced to go to Liaodong, it would be implemented immediately. Now Oboi is thousands of miles away. All the elite troops of the five major camps were transferred, leaving only 300,000 green camps distributed in the south and 300,000 green camps distributed in the south and provinces along the Yangtze River. According to information, although these green camps were trained to have some combat power by Oboi, they were difficult to return. In addition, the detailed work of the North and South Dufu Division spread various rumors, the war-weariness of the entire green camp spreads very quickly. No one was so stupid that he would work hard for the Qing Dynasty for a little one per month that only one person could eat. In addition, even if he made military achievements, the contribution was mostly the head of the Manchus. Some Han soldiers of the Green Camp with high awareness had even quietly joined the North and South Dufu Division, and immediately turned against the situation as soon as the Ming army arrived.

"Transfer my will, you can immediately organize six officials from the north to reward soldiers and read out the manifesto. In this battle, you don't have to care about the gains and losses of a city and a pool. You must try to kill the main force of the green camp. All provinces south of the Yangtze River are battlefields, and you don't have to stick to a corner." Zhu Jun said with a high volume.

The spirit of civil and military officials was shocked. Anyone knew that once the territory south of the Yangtze River was restored, the stalemate situation between Qingming Festival would be reversed, and expelling the Tartars was only a matter of day and night. They all shouted loudly: "Abide by the order."

Zhu Jun nodded confidently. The Ming army in the six northern provinces reached 150,000. In addition to staying behind, there were 100,000 soldiers. Although the Qing army was large, it was not a brave Ming army's opponent in terms of weapons and morale. The seeds that he had spent so much effort to water have now taken root and just waited for fruition.

"Has the British envoy Jason arrived?" The court discussion came to an end. Zhu Jun looked at the civil and military officials on both sides, remembering the fact that the British envoy had just summoned to the palace, so he said loudly.

Without waiting for the translator's reaction, Jason quickly stood up and took off his hat and said, "His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, I salute you on behalf of my king. His Highness the King hopes that I can convey my kindness to him and thank you for your kindness."

Zhu Junhe nodded: "I wonder if the princess is satisfied with some gifts. I heard that the princess has also arrived in Haidu with your country's mission?"

"Yes, Your Highness the Princess loves His Majesty's generous gifts very much and is willing to accept your proposal. Your Highness the King is also very happy that the marriage between the Ming Dynasty and the British royal family will be the basis for friendship between the two countries.

"Jason paused and said, "British admired the prosperity and prosperity of the Ming Dynasty very much, and hoped to become an ally and trading partner of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Jun thought this guy was too direct, but then he thought, it would be nice if the diplomatic officials of the Ministry of Rites could be less colorful. These guys who don’t do serious things all day long, Zhu Jun heard Yang Side talk about the affairs of the Ministry of Rites and the princess yesterday, and he unconsciously smiled slightly. However, this kind of thing has been formed for thousands of years. It is not a matter of change overnight. It is better to keep these old guys.

"Because Britain is willing to offer the princess to the emperor as a concubine, there is no problem. However, the marriage has not been completed, the envoy raised the alliance matter, which is really too hasty. "The officials of the Ministry of Rites are obviously very dissatisfied with this British princess. They have never studied female training, and they don't know that they are still in the boudoir, and they also bring a group of servants to the streets to make trouble. It's okay, but their hobbies are actually riding horses, dancing and singing. What kind of morality is that concubines are not the example of mothers in the world, but they are still people who accompany the emperor day and night. They all say that beauty is in trouble. If they accidentally get into Daji, Yang Guifei, and instigate the emperor not to take the world as their responsibility and indulge them to have fun, this will be a disaster. Therefore, the officials of the Ministry of Rites interfere with it as soon as they get the opportunity, hoping to hinder the marriage.

When Jason heard the translation fire of the general translation, he shook his shoulders and couldn't talk about the alliance. What is the rule? It was simply funny. He could only look at the official with regret and ignore him: "Your Majesty the Emperor, Britain attaches great importance to its relationship with the Ming Dynasty and hopes to keep it forever. This is a mutually beneficial alliance, not Britain seeks rewards from Your Majesty the Emperor."

Zhu Jun nodded. Britain's geographical location is unique. It would be a pity if it could not be used more. However, the way of this alliance is somewhat problematic. The Ming and people alliances have always been in the posture of superiors to call the other party to surrender, rather than equal mutual benefit. If Zhu Jun agrees to the British's request for the alliance, it would be equivalent to treating Britain to the same height as the Ming Dynasty. This is absolutely not allowed for some conservative officials in the court. All the world is the king's land, and all the land is the king's minister. This slogan has been called for thousands of years, even in the weakest South.

I would rather pay a lot of annual monies to send big gold and Xixia, all I want is just a status.

This matter cannot be taken lightly, and it will seriously undermine national confidence. Zhu Jun thought silently, and sighed again, fame, fame, fortune, and the Chinese people want fame, while the West values ​​profit. The two different national personalities are just the opposite. They can be peaceful. At worst, the British will give the Ming Dynasty a fame and the Ming Dynasty will only give the British people a profit. However, Zhu Jun is a guy who values ​​profit. He can't even mention the matter of giving people annual monies every month. It's good if you don't take advantage of you, and you still want to take advantage of me, don't think so.

Zhu Jun was also very clear that the British's national strength in Europe was gradually increasing, and they would defeat the Netherlands in a few years, and gradually replace the Dutch's monopoly in the world trade and inherit the Dutch colonies. If the British were to bow to the Ming Dynasty, the possibility was slim. Anyone had national self-esteem, let alone a country. Even if they could get certain benefits to the Ming Dynasty, there was no need to bow to the people. At worst, they wouldn't be able to play with you. We were thousands of miles apart, could you still bite me?

Since that's the case, Zhu Jun felt that the British envoy should be left first. At least the alliance cannot be discussed in advance. The more anxious he is, the more he will drag his brother down. Then he will see who will surrender. Thinking of this, Zhu Jun's face was full of smiles and said to Jason: "Xu Tu will discuss this matter again. Princess Anne arrived in Linhaidu. I didn't know about it in advance, nor did I give corresponding hospitality. It's my fault. Let's do this. The princess is a female family member and it's not about living outside. There are several cold halls in my palace. Tomorrow, let Your Highness move into the palace first."

Jason did not object. This is a normal thing in Europe. When a princess arrives in a neighboring country, she usually lives in the palace of the country. However, several old stubborn faces with anger. The emperor is lustful. Look, the ceremony of the concubines has not been held yet, nor has she asked about her birth date and horoscope, and she has been pulled into the palace without being investigated by the Ministry of Rites. Why haven't I seen the emperor so anxious before? No, I have to persuade this matter. Several people are eager to try it out, and they are ready to go out to persuade. Who would have expected that Zhu Jun was used to observing words and expressions. Seeing the appearance of several censors, he knew that he had been talking again. He waved his hand: "I am tired, please retreat to the court. I will talk about it tomorrow." After that, he hurriedly left.

Several censors were caught off guard and stood there in anger. Let's talk about it tomorrow? Everyone will be sent to the palace tomorrow. Maybe they will be bridal chambers tonight, and they will say nothing.

Zhu Jun returned to the harem. The harem consisted of seven large courtyards, namely the Yan Pavilion, the Nongzhuxuan, the Changming Hall, the Fengxi Hall, the Cold Winter Pavilion, the Water Pavilion, and the Tao Anju. Each courtyard has its own characteristics, including the Changming Hall where offices are, and the Fengxi Hall where the empress lives.

The winter pavilion where the summer vacation is, the Yan Pavilion where the imperial concubine lives, etc. Each courtyard covers an area of ​​100 acres, with a special style, but also the same winding path, with a long gallery brush and a golden carving and jade coat. Now there are only three owners of this harem, namely Zhu Jun and the Queen of the Queen, so there are many vacant palaces and pavilions. Zhu Jun called Xiao Guizi and asked him to pack up a courtyard, and he walked happily into the queen's bedroom. The queen is the leader of the harem. Since a newcomer has come, he always wants to tell him, let alone the newlyweds. Zhu Jun naturally has to go to his wife when he is free.

After passing Fengxi Palace, the eunuch at the door quickly reported: "The Emperor is here." After a moment, Qu Ci had quickly brought a few palace maids out to greet him. Zhu Jun was not able to get close to the queen when there were too many people. He smiled slightly and entered the hall with the queen. Qu Ci removed Zhu Jun's crown coat and tied up a jade belt. Zhu Jun's hand had already grasped Qu Ci's slender waist and said, "I have been going to sea for several months. After I came back, I was busy dealing with political affairs and neglected you."

Qu Ci snuggled gently on Zhu Jun's chest and whispered: "The emperor belongs to all over the world. How dare I take it alone? Your Majesty, I have something to tell you."

Zhu Jun thought to himself: "I have something to tell you too." He said: "What's the matter?"

Qu Ci's face turned slightly red, and she opened her teeth and said softly: "I am pregnant."

Zhu Jun was stunned for a moment, and had not yet reacted: "What?"

Qu Ci stopped talking, but just buried her head deeper, enjoying Zhu Jun's body temperature, and happily hugging Zhu Jun's waist.

Zhu Jun then realized and couldn't help but feel overjoyed: "Do you mean I have a prince?"]

Qu Ci raised her eyes and looked at Zhu Jun's chin and said shyly, "Maybe it's not necessarily the princess."

Zhu Jun's hands were trembling, and he took a few breaths hard to calm down his agitation: "Boys and girls are the same, they are all the flesh of their parents' hearts. Haha, by the way, what did I want to say just now? No matter who you have to rest in the future, I have to wait for you day and night. As long as I take time out of the time, I will come to see you every day. By the way, come!" Zhu Jun yelled outside the hall incoherently.

A palace maid stepped in and looked at Zhu Jun Wanfu. Just as he was about to ask the emperor what he had to do, Zhu Jun said impatiently: "Go quickly and call the cabinet, all the ministers of the Ministry of Rites into the palace, and the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital came over."

Qu Ci's face turned redder. She went to Kui Shui last month, and later invited the imperial physician to have a medical consultation. Only then did she realize that she was happy. After all, she was still a girl, so she asked the imperial physician not to speak out for the time being. When the emperor came back from Beiyang, she didn't expect that Zhu Jun hurriedly called the ministers and couldn't help but say angrily: "Your Majesty, what are you asking the ministers of the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites to do?"

Zhu Jun laughed with enthusiasm and was happy. He was worried about this world: "Of course, it was a decree to tell the world. This is my great joy. I also want the people of the world to know that, well, I have to forgive the world. These old men from the Ministry of Rites are useless in normal times and are talking all day long. But today I want them to do something and give my son and daughter a good name, one son or one daughter. No matter whether they have a boy or a girl, they must have a majestic name to be considered appropriate."

Qu Ci's heart was filled with warmth. The emperor could like this and the child in her womb, and she wanted to forgive the world. She was also moved, but said, "There is no prince in this world who can forgive the world. If you tell it, you will be laughed at. I will have no shame to see anyone in the future."
Chapter completed!
