Li Lingxiu knew that although Zhu Hongyu was not a purely cold-blooded political animal, his emotions were also very limited.
In his heart, the most important thing is always the country of Ming Dynasty!
As for women, they are just a spice in his life, something he will never lack as long as he has power.
How much can he care?
Even though she and he were childhood sweethearts who grew up together, Li Lingxiu couldn't guarantee how much Zhu Hongyu cared about her.
The feelings are definitely there!
But Li Lingxiu herself didn't know how much weight this feeling held.
She could feel that the reason why Zhu Hongyu was so gracious to the Li family was not only because of the relationship between her and Zhu Hongyu.
The more important reason is that Zhu Hongyu wants to check and balance the power of the Zheng family in the court.
The strangeness that they had not seen for a long time, and the fear of the king's power at this time, made Li Lingxiu feel a little alienated from Zhu Hongyu.
When Li Qiuyue on the side heard this, a trace of fear flashed across her beautiful face, she subconsciously knelt on the ground and spoke.
"Sister knows I'm wrong!"
"Please forgive me, sister!"
Seeing this scene, Li Lingxiu nodded slightly.
"fine!"
"What happened today is just a private conversation between you and me, sisters, and it will never reach His Highness's ears."
When Li Qiuyue heard this, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and a feeling of relief came over him instantly.
She knew that if Li Lingxiu went online, her slip of voice just now might lead to death.
Now that Li Lingxiu has taken the initiative to say that the matter will not be spread, Li Qiuyue's gratitude needs no words.
…
At the same time, on another large ship, many senior officials who were supervising the ship gathered together, looking at the river view outside, talking and laughing loudly.
"This decisive battle in the south of the Yangtze River was a complete victory. Our Ming Dynasty regained the south of the Yangtze River, restored Nanjing, and occupied the southeast. The situation in the world has changed drastically!"
"In the past, we used the slogan of driving out the Tartars, restoring China, rebuilding the Ming Dynasty, and rejuvenating China. I never thought that now it has become a reality, and the Ming Dynasty has really been restored!"
"When His Highness takes over Nanjing, he can command the world. Now he should ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor!"
"Yes, yes, it is indeed time for His Highness to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor!"
"After I enter Beijing, the most important thing is to persuade people to come."
"It's true, it's true. The slaves had an emperor. How could our Ming Dynasty not have an emperor? Before, the Southern Capital was not restored, so His Highness refused to proclaim himself emperor. Now that the Southern Capital has been restored, what is there to hesitate about?"
"..."
Looking at the broad river view outside the window, everyone is thinking about their future.
The Ming Dynasty can be restored, and they are all heroes of the restoration of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, all the glory and wealth are there!
How can you not be excited?!
…
The fleet was very large. In addition to Zhu Hongyu's family members and the ministers who supervised the country's affairs, there were also researchers from the Ming Dynasty Royal Research Institute.
In addition to relevant personnel, there are also a large number of equipment, various confidential files, etc.
Almost the entire Ming Dynasty Royal Research Institute is moving to Nanjing.
From top to bottom, except for the main building, almost all people and objects in the entire institute are being relocated to Nanjing.
Even those responsible for cooking and cleaning are included in the relocation.
In addition to the research institute, the arsenal is also being relocated!
It's just that the arsenal is different from the research institute. The relocation of the research institute is a complete relocation, but what needs to be relocated in the arsenal is only the R&D department inside.
As for the production department, there are no major changes!
It's just that Zhu Hongyu transferred some craftsmen and core technicians from there to build another large arsenal in Nanjing.
Generally speaking, although the arsenal has been relocated, the relocation is not intensive.
At the very least, it will not affect the daily production of the arsenal!
Now the Ming army is gradually expanding in size, and all the troops and horses are waiting for the equipment to be brought into line.
…
In mid-May, the 20th year of the Ming Dynasty, the huge Ming fleet finally docked at the dock outside Nanjing.
At this time, the pier was crowded with people.
Teams of Imperial Guard soldiers blocked the entire dock. Zhu Hongyu, along with the Ming officials who had arrived in Nanjing first, as well as many wealthy gentry in Nanjing, stood at the dock to welcome the arrival of the train.
Today, Zhu Hongyu is wearing a red uniform with gold embroidery. Although it is not a full set of uniforms with complicated accessories, it can still make his identity quite obvious.
Her hair, which is half-long but not short, is tied up with a crown and combed meticulously, revealing her bright forehead and clear facial features.
Zhu Hongyu's facial features are very three-dimensional, especially his eyes, which are deep and beautiful.
The short beard on his chin adds a bit of mature charm to him, and his overall temperament is very outstanding.
Behind him is a full set of guards of honor for supervising the country.
The bright yellow Tuanlong umbrella is extremely eye-catching.
When the fleet docked, one soldier after another took the lead to reach the shore through the pedals, and the next to disembark were Zhu Hongyu's concubines.
The first one was Li Lingxiu holding the child, and then came Zheng Xuan with a big belly.
As well as Kaya, Wenwen, Beina, the twins from the Yu family, Zhou Yuer, Li Qiuyue and others...
However, although these people have all disembarked.
But Zhu Hongyu's eyes always stayed on Li Lingxiu and the child in Li Lingxiu's arms.
Only a few times, he would look at the pregnant Zheng Xuan.
As for the other people, they didn’t even look at it!
It's not that Zhu Hongyu doesn't care about other people, it's just that in Zhu Hongyu's eyes, Li Lingxiu and Zheng Xuan are more important.
Li Qiuyue stood in the crowd, taking in all this, and had no doubt in her heart about what Li Lingxiu said.
The king's favor will expire!
Only heirs are the foundation of a woman in the harem!
Today’s scene is the best example!
So many people disembarked, including many of Zhu Hongyu's beloved concubines who usually summoned him to sleep with him.
But the only ones Zhu Hongyu really noticed were Li Lingxiu, who was holding the child, and Zheng Xuan, who was pregnant.
Zhu Hongyu showed a smile on his face and strode towards Li Lingxiu and his son.
Looking at the little person Li Linxiu was holding in his arms, he looked at the smile on the child's face.
Zhu Hongyu had a warm feeling in his heart, as if he was about to melt away.
Walking up to Li Lingxiu, Zhu Hongyu hugged the mother and son into his arms without saying a word.
Then he said warmly.
"I'm sorry for you!"
Today, Zhu Hongyu's heart is full of guilt.
When Li Lingxiu was pregnant, he was away fighting.
When Li Lingxiu gave birth, he was away fighting.
The child was born, but he was still fighting outside.
It was not until now, when the child was almost two years old, that he and the child met for the first time.
Hearing the guilt in Zhu Hongyu's voice, he felt the warmth of his lover who held him tightly in his arms.
Li Lingxiu, who originally had a formulaic smile on her face, also had red eyes.
