"I... uh... no, common man Li Guozhu, I would like to pay my respects, no... I would like to bow down to His Highness the Grand Sun."

If we say that when he set off from Japan in February of this year, Li Guozhu was still feeling desolate, feeling that his old man was indeed too old and too dim. He believed the words of a mere hundred Jin Yiwei and sent him as his son.

If you die and are filled with despair, then you will be constantly surprised and shocked along the way.

Their fleet set off from Hirado and first arrived at Jeju Island: this island did not have a specific name in the 17th century. It was just a public place for maritime merchants (pirates) from China, Japan and South Korea to rest, replenish fresh water and exchange information.

Supply depot.

It was on this island that Tian Ergen, Li Guozhu and his party learned the news that Zhu Youdong had gone south to Nanjing (any major decisions of the Ming Dynasty would be sent to North Korea).

The overjoyed Tian Ergen immediately ordered the fleet to adjust its route: instead of going to Beijing, go to Nanjing!

When approaching Nanjing, near the mouth of the Yangtze River, their fleet was stopped by the naval warships of the Zhenhai Guard of the Ming Dynasty. When Li Guozhu nervously ordered his brothers to prepare for battle, Na Tian Ergeng boarded the opponent's ship.

After a while, the other party immediately sent him back politely and sent out warships to escort him throughout the journey.

At this point, Li Guozhu's anxious heart finally calmed down: It seems that this Jin Yiwei Baihu is really a member of the grandson.

Li Dan went out very early and worked hard abroad for many years. Li Guozhu, his son, was born in Japan. Although Li Dan hired Chinese scholars living in Japan to provide him with basic Chinese cultural education, Li Guozhu's mind

Here, I have always lacked an intuitive impression of my home country.

For example, when his teacher when he was a child taught him to study "Preface to Tengwang Pavilion" and "Yueyang Tower", it was difficult for him to imagine what the vastness of the mist was. He could only ask his teacher: Poyang Lake, Dongting Lake, and the Omi Kingdom of Japan

How does Lake Biwa compare? Another example is Yang Shen's "Linjiang Immortal. The Rolling Yangtze River Passes East". He couldn't imagine the surging inland rivers. He would only ask his teacher: How does the Yangtze River compare to the Mein Nagara River?

But this time when I really returned to China, from what I saw and heard along the way, I just felt that the Ming Dynasty along both sides of the river was many times more prosperous than Japan. The scenery in China is more exquisite than Japan, and the mountains and rivers are far less majestic.

How many times. While he was shocked, the pride deep in his heart was naturally overwhelming.

After entering the Nanjing Imperial Palace, although this was just a simple palace built when the Ming Dynasty had just founded the country and the national power was extremely limited. But for Li Guozhu, who had only seen the seven-story castle tower, it also deeply affected his soul.

shock and impact.

Then, when the young master, who was respected by everyone in Hirado, Japan, faced His Highness the Grandson of the Ming Dynasty, he was naturally at a loss and spoke incoherently.

"Hehehe." A gentle laughter sounded above his head, and then a pair of petite but powerful hands appeared on his shoulders, helping Li Guozhu up.

Zhu Youdong is now almost seven years old. Thanks to the strengthening of his body by the ancestor, he is about a little over 1.4 meters tall at this time. Li Guozhu is twenty-six years old this year, and his height is the average height of Chinese people in this era, about

He is a little more than 1.6 meters tall and less than 1.7 meters tall. Therefore, when the two people stand together, the height difference is not too big.

"Li Zhuangshi, you don't need to kneel down when you see me in the future. Ordinary people will call themselves commoners when they see me. But are you ordinary people? Just call yourself 'I'. Also, you can call me grandson or your highness. I

Not that particular person."

"Yes, thank you Taisun for your advice."

"Yeah." He stepped up a little and patted Li Guozhu's shoulder, and then Zhu Youdong's eyes turned to the other person.

A strong, powerful and magnetic baritone voice quickly sounded: "Sinner Yan Siqi, pay homage to His Highness."

After waving his hand, Wang Chengen directed the other eunuchs to guide the three people to take their seats. Zhu Youdong also returned to his seat, looked at the young man who was at least 1.8 meters tall, with a strong physique and a calm face and said: "What's wrong with Yan Zhuangshi?"

Are you a sinner? Let me hear what you say?"

"Yes." Yan Siqi stood up without any pretense: "The sinner is originally from Haicheng County, Zhangzhou Prefecture, the Chief Secretary of Fujian Province. He has his parents and a younger sister at home, and has six acres and three-thirds of the Susukaya farmland that is often flooded by the sea and reduces production. Five years.

Recently, for some unknown reason, the county housekeeper forcibly changed my family's thin farmland into upper farmland. Then the land tax my family had to pay doubled! Although my parents worked harder in farming and fishing, they also married off my sister early.

To lighten the burden. But it was ultimately unbearable... Four years ago, my little sister starved to death, and her parents hanged themselves in despair. The criminals couldn't get enough of this, so they sneaked into the house of the clerk that night and beheaded him.

Then, with the help of friends, the sinners fled to Japan... Therefore, the sinners committed murder and absconded. Now when they return to the Ming Dynasty and see His Highness, of course they can only call themselves sinners."

"Well..." After taking a look at the surroundings, apart from Tian, ​​Li and Yan, only Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen were waiting around. The others had already left. Zhu Youdong said: "Yan Zhuangshi, what I just said is not

What are you hiding, making up?"

"Every word spoken by the guilty people is true, and it will never expire."

"Okay, if this is true, I will just scream, good kill!"

"Your Highness!" He stood up very excitedly, and with his majestic body pushed the golden mountain and the jade pillar down to pay homage: "Your Highness, when Mr. Chu Tian came to Hirado, he went around to visit the criminals. The criminals were surprised and thought that Hai

How could Cheng's police officers be so powerful that they even hunted down criminals to come to Japan? Later, when I heard that Kapitan had seen the move, I realized that it was His Highness who wanted to see the criminals. The criminals didn't know what virtue or ability they had, and their despicable name actually reached His Highness's ears.

middle……"

"Well..." It's a bit embarrassing. I can't say that your name, Yan Siqi's Kaitai King, will be familiar to everyone in later generations, right? There is no other way but to change the topic.

"Yan Zhuangshi, you haven't told me your age yet?"

"Sin Min was born in the seventeenth year of Wanli and is eighteen years old this year."

"What?" The one who exclaimed was Tian Ergen. He stood up from his chair excitedly, walked to Yan Siqi and looked at her carefully and said: "So, you were only fourteen when you killed someone?

"

"The guilty people are ashamed."

"Hahaha, what are you ashamed of? Your Highness!" Tian Ergen turned around: "Your Highness, this is a good seedling! You must allocate it to our Jin Yiwei! I only need two years, no, one year, to pay you back

An operator!"

"Hehehe, Tian Baihu, you are so underestimating Yan Zhuangshi. His ability is not something that a small general banner can dismiss."

After saying this, Zhu Youdong said to Cao Huachun: "Daban, you have heard what happened just now. Go to the Ministry of Justice for me and check the files handed over by the Fujian Prosecution Department four years ago."

"My slave takes orders."

"Yan Zhuangshi."

"The guilty people are here."

"As the grandson of the Ming Dynasty Emperor, I cannot ignore the laws of the country because of my own preferences. Therefore, I must check what you just said. Of course, did the clerk change the grade of your farm?

This is probably difficult to find out. But as long as I find out, you did just kill this clerk four years ago and did not hurt innocent people. Let this matter be over. However, if you hurt innocent people, I am sorry.

I won’t embarrass you, but I can’t use you anymore!”

"Yes, the guilty people are willing to wait here for news about this father-in-law. If what the guilty people just said is even slightly untrue, the guilty people do not need to be punished by your Highness. When the time comes, please ask Mr. Tian to lend you a knife. The guilty people are willing to kill themselves.
