Lin Chong filled a glass of wine and took the lead in expressing his gratitude: "You are all good generals and patriots of the Ming Dynasty. Thanks to your cooperation, I can return victorious today. I will definitely express my gratitude to you and do my best first."
"
While he slowly raised his glass to sip, he observed the reactions of everyone below through the gap between the jade cup and his fingers. Except for Zheng Chenggong, everyone was very excited and even started talking quietly.
Those things written in the terms and conditions.
Zheng Chenggong didn't. He held the wine glass halfway and looked towards himself with squinted eyes. There was no kindness or gratitude on his slightly stiff face, and even the smile on his face seemed to be squeezed out.
"General Zheng seems to be worried about something? Why don't you tell us and let everyone help you analyze it, maybe we can find a solution!" Lin Chong put down his wine glass and looked at the fake Emperor Chongzhen with a half-smile.
.
Even if he didn't speak, Lin Chong could still feel the strong hostility from him. Why? Lin Chong asked himself that he had never done anything sorry to him. They had knocked him out without saying a word and brought him to the palace to relieve him.
Urgent need.
Now that the big problem has been solved, he comes out and pretends that he is a rebellious official and a traitor who wants to usurp the throne. Do you really think that he should be the aloof emperor by rights?
"It's not that I have anything to worry about, it's just something very difficult. I'll tell you today and let the emperor help me think of a solution."
Lin Chong was not annoyed by his rude tone. He stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation: "General Zheng, please tell me. If I can help, I will spare no effort."
"It's like this. I have a very smart dog at home. A few days ago, because I had to go on a long trip for something, and I was worried about losing things in the house, I tied the dog up in the back room. This dog is indeed a smart dog.
, I haven’t lost anything in my house these days. But when I come back, guess what will happen?”
Lin Chong's face was calm, but the fingers holding the wine glass were clenched tightly together, almost cracking the glass: "It sounds very interesting, I would like to hear the details."
Lin Chong's reaction seemed to be what Zheng Chenggong expected. He poured himself another glass of wine before continuing: "Maybe I left for too long, or maybe the treatment I gave it was too good.
When I came back, this dog had regarded himself as the real owner of the house. Even if I kicked him out, he would still sneak back and live in the back bedroom. Your Majesty, do you think this is an annoyance?
thing?"
Lin Chong laughed angrily: "Then what does General Zheng plan to do with this ignorant dog?"
"It's just because I don't know how to deal with it that I have this troublesome thing, don't you think?" He let out a hearty laugh and called on his brothers to have a good time.
However, his brothers all looked at each other in confusion. This eldest brother followed them around to fight all day long. He had no fixed home all day long, let alone a smart dog that could watch the house.
?Where did his troubles come from?
But seeing what the emperor meant, he really wanted to discuss it seriously with Boss Zheng, so even though the people below were confused, they didn't dare to ask, and could only whisper in low voices.
Lin Chong held the wine glass and pondered for a while: "This matter for you is hard to say and easy to say. If you feel that this house is not important, you can change it to another house."
"What if this house is very important to me? I have to get it back."
"Oh, then you might as well go back and discuss it with your dog. Give him a few more pieces of meat and maybe he will leave on his own. Dogs are different from people and don't have so many thoughts and calculations." Lin Chong suggested.
Wang Chengen was in the corner watching the two people going back and forth and quarreling with each other. He couldn't help but wipe a handful of cold sweat on his forehead. These two are masters who are not easy to mess with. Your Majesty is really, too.
They were competing for a moment at the dinner table, and if Lin Chong was really annoyed, who knows what would happen!
He wanted to remind His Majesty several times, but he didn't know what happened. Every time, he acted as if he hadn't seen it, glanced at it and turned away, and continued to say things that sounded infuriating.
Wang Chengen glanced at Lin Chong secretly. He couldn't understand this child more and more. He didn't know whether he was really too old or whether he had grown up too fast. Now he could no longer look at Lin Chong's face.
You can guess his current mood.
Just like now, Wang Chengen felt that he should be angry in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face while holding the wine glass. It seemed that what he just said was sincere, and he just wanted to share Zheng Chenggong's worries, without thinking about other people at all.
aspect.
I don’t know whether I should say this meal was good or bad. If I say it was not good, the food and wine were the best. The imperial dining room carefully prepared them. There is nothing unpalatable. But if I say it was good, the food was good.
, everyone ate with fear after this meal, fearing that Boss Zheng and the emperor would fight in the next second.
These two people spoke in a friendly manner, but the tone in every sentence made them want to greet each other's family immediately. This made everyone who had no idea what grudges had existed between the two not be nervous.
When Boss Zheng insisted on sending troops to Nanjing, he looked like a loyal minister and a good general. His words made everyone excited and eager to join the ranks to serve the country.
During the war, he had always supported the emperor unswervingly, but when he actually saw the emperor, not only did he not show any joy, he also showed disdain and no respect for the emperor's so-called rewards.
It doesn't mean anything.
Looking back at the emperor, when he met a good general like Zheng Chenggong who didn't understand etiquette and was disrespectful in every move, he actually didn't mean to blame him at all. He asked a lot of questions, but he didn't see Boss Zheng moved at all.
What exactly is going on? Boss Zheng brought them to Nanjing, didn't he want to rebel? But if you really want to rebel, you can just join the rebel camp at the gate of the city. Why bother to go to so much trouble first?
Help them drive people away?
For this group of guys who only obey orders and fight seriously every day, thinking about this problem requires countless brain cells to die. Fortunately, this situation did not last long. The emperor quickly asked them what they wanted in a pleasant manner.
What? He also said that he would not be short of anything he promised them before. Not only would it be a lot, but it would also be doubled.
No one expected this sudden surprise, and they couldn't help but smile with joy. However, they saw that the expression on Boss Zheng's face had become even gloomier than before, and he was so droopy that he didn't dare to speak.
