577 How to Rescue

Li Ruolian did not rest. As soon as he arrived in the capital, he immediately went to the palace to ask for an audience with Emperor Chongzhen.

He is the commander of the Imperial Guard, so it is naturally easier for him to see the emperor than others.

Not to mention, Li Ruolian was sent out by Emperor Chongzhen to perform a secret mission. Therefore, as soon as Emperor Chongzhen heard that the commander of the Jinyi Guards was asking for an audience, he immediately dropped everything and only brought his absolute confidant Wang Chengen with him to see Li Ruolian first.

In the Wuying Hall, Emperor Chongzhen waited for Li Ruolian to finish his salute, and then he said impatiently: "Li Qingping, how is the matter?"

This kind of long-term plan to lead a country into an urn has never been done before. This is the first time that Emperor Chongzhen has done such a thing. Emperor Chongzhen is still a little excited.

After hearing this, Li Ruolian stood up and without saying a word, he immediately tore open one of his sleeves, pulled out a roll of paper from it, offered it with both hands, and loudly shouted: "Your Majesty, everything goes well, the covenant is here!

"

When Wang Chengen heard this, he was very curious.

He didn't even know what Li Ruolian was doing? But it could be seen from Emperor Chongzhen's attitude that this matter was very important and was something Emperor Chongzhen was looking forward to.

So the question is, what is it and what is the covenant?

Wang Chengen thought in his mind, and hurried over, holding the Buddha dust in his armpit, taking the roll of paper with both hands, and then presented it to the emperor. While helping Emperor Chongzhen unfold it, he quickly glanced at it with his eyes.

It's okay if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, you are immediately surprised.

Wang Chengen even thought that he was dazzled. This was an alliance between Japan and Jianlu. How did it fall into the hands of the Jinyiwei commander?

No, there is another person, Zheng Yiguan?

While he was thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen quickly scanned it and confirmed that it was indeed the covenant between Jianlu and the Japanese country, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

Then when he took a closer look, he couldn't help but said with great joy: "Zheng Qing has actually formed an alliance with them. This is the best arrangement!"

This situation had been anticipated in advance, and it was the best arrangement for Ming Dynasty. Unexpectedly, not only had this thing been done, but it was also the best kind. Emperor Chongzhen was naturally overjoyed.

Suddenly, he had an idea, as if his luck had been good since he met Liu Weichao!

Lucky star, lucky star!

On the other side, Wang Chengen was confused.

But after all, he was the eunuch in charge of the ceremony and the governor of the West Factory. After thinking about it for a moment, combined with Emperor Chongzhen's attitude, he immediately understood what was probably going on.

When Wang Chengen figured it out, he was immediately shocked.

The emperor actually laid out such a far-reaching plan without saying a word, and dug a trap to build the captives and the Japanese country in advance. This strategy was huge and the layout was far-reaching. Was this the same emperor he knew?

At this time, who would have thought that the emperor would make such a move in advance?

It’s really awesome, my long live Lord!

While Wang Chengen was shocked, Li Ruolian reported over there: "Your Majesty, the success of this matter is all the result of General Zheng!"

Emperor Chongzhen thought that this was it, with a smile on his face, he immediately ordered him: "Tell me the specific process!"

Therefore, Li Ruolian took him to Dongjiang Town, told Zheng Zhilong about the matter, and then told him the whole story about going to Japan together.

Of course, there is also a skill to speaking this way.

When Li Ruolian narrated, he emphasized Zheng Zhilong's shock when he received Emperor Chongzhen's personal letter, described Zheng Zhilong's admiration for Emperor Chongzhen's strategizing, and also described the situation of the Japanese country, just as Emperor Chongzhen expected. It was exactly according to Emperor Chongzhen

The information provided will make things go very smoothly this time.

While Balabala was talking about these things, Emperor Chongzhen always had a smile on his face and nodded slightly from time to time. It could be seen that he was very happy.

After Li Ruolian finished speaking, Emperor Chongzhen said with emotion: "This trip to the Japanese country is even on the way to celebrate the New Year. It's really hard for you!"

"I will do something for Your Majesty. As long as we can get things done, a little hard work is nothing!" Upon hearing this, Li Ruolian immediately said righteously.

Valley Niao

Emperor Chongzhen felt comfortable and satisfied with what he heard. He nodded and said: "Zheng Qing's contribution this time is very great, but it is difficult to reward him publicly. Then I will give him the credit together with him after the crucial battle."

After finishing speaking, he paused and then said: "That Tagawa Song is not bad, and she teaches her son well. One day I will also make her Mrs. Haoming!"

In Li Ruolian's narration just now, he also mentioned some details. For example, Tagawa Song always wore Ming clothes in the Japanese country, taught his second son in the Japanese country to speak Mandarin, and was worried about Jianlu going to form an alliance with the Japanese country to plot the Ming Dynasty, etc.

However, Emperor Chongzhen specifically praised Taguansong at this time. Naturally, he heard Liu Weichao mention that in the original history, Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, but Taguansong did not follow and died for his country. This also strengthened Zheng Sen's fight against the rebels.

determination.

At this time, when he heard Li Ruolian talking about Taguan Song, Emperor Chongzhen certainly didn't mind giving Taguan Song a reward.

However, because of Li Ruolian's identity, it was normal not to mention Tagawa Song when he was reporting to Emperor Chongzhen. However, he did mention it.

Naturally, Li Ruolian had intentions.

At this time, when he heard that Emperor Chongzhen had a favorable impression of Tagawa Song, which was beyond his expectation, he quickly continued what Emperor Chongzhen said: "When General Zheng left Japan, he originally wanted to take away his wife and second son, but the Japanese side

But they refused to rest assured, and even their eldest son came to the scene in person. The general thought that he was taking Zheng Zongbing's wife and second son as hostages. If Zheng Zongbing did something detrimental to the Japanese country in the future, his

My wife and second son are likely to suffer."

"Oh?" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but be very concerned. He immediately frowned and said, "Is there such a thing? Does your Majesty have a way to rescue his wife and second son?"

Li Ruolian heard this and quickly replied: "The general discussed this matter with General Zheng on his way back. He said that the Japanese were very careful about him and it was a bit difficult to handle!"

After a pause, he continued: "Therefore, the general thought about it. I am afraid that the rescue of his wife and second son cannot be done through people from Zheng Bing's side! In addition, the general also thought that now

The Japanese have formed an alliance with the Jianlu to plot against our Ming Dynasty, so the people who came from the Japanese country in our Ming Dynasty must also be on guard."

While speaking, seeing Emperor Chongzhen's face looking a little ugly, Li Ruolian quickly expressed his thoughts and said: "The general is thinking that perhaps only through people from a third country can he secretly send his wife and second son

Get out!"

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen's brows still did not loosen, and he said with some confusion: "Hasn't the Japanese country implemented a policy of seclusion and not allowing foreigners to go to the Japanese country? I'm afraid this matter will not work, right?"

Of course, Li Ruolian knew that Japan had implemented a sea ban, which was what Emperor Chongzhen called a secluded policy. Therefore, after discussing with Zheng Zhilong, the only possibility was to ask the Dutch. Because only the Dutch were allowed by Japan to stay in Changchun.

There are foreigners in the shopping mall.

However, Zheng Zhilong fought hard with the Dutch, forcing the Dutch to secretly purchase the Lingqipao trade in the name of the Japanese country.

Now, if Zheng Zhilong sues the Dutch for this matter, the Dutch will definitely take advantage of Zheng Zhilong. And the most important point is that the Dutch have a good relationship with the Tokugawa shogunate. Zheng Zhilong wants to secretly take away his wife and children.

Maybe the Dutch would turn around and sue the Tokugawa shogunate.

In this case, it may also arouse the Japanese country's suspicion that there is something wrong with Zheng Zhilong, which will affect future wars.

The reason why the Dutch may do this is because for now, except for the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, the Dutch have a monopoly on the Japanese trade, and the profits here are huge.

If the Dutch want to offend the Japanese Tokugawa shogunate and give up such huge profits, only the Ming Dynasty will allow trade with the Dutch. In this way, the trade profits of the Ming Dynasty will be large enough, and it will definitely make the Dutch turn to the

Daming is here.

However, for such a big matter, the emperor's nod was necessary. After all, judging from the previous relationship, the Dutch and the Ming Dynasty were still hostile and were not welcomed by the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, after hearing Emperor Chongzhen's concerns, Li Ruolian decided to tell the matter to see if the emperor could change his strategy towards the Dutch.

Of course, there is another way, which is to beat the Dutch into obedience and do whatever they are asked to do. In this case, the Dutch will have to do it even if they don't want to rescue Mrs. Zheng Zhilong and their second son.

!

However, Li Ruolian was a little worried. Can Zheng Zhilong's wife and second son allow the current emperor to spend so much effort on rescuing them?

After hesitating for a moment, he finally decided to tell Emperor Chongzhen about this method.

But who would have thought that just as he was about to say something, there was sudden movement outside the hall.

At this time, the people on duty outside the palace were all Wang Chengen's people.

Hearing the commotion, he went over to take a look, and then immediately entered the palace to report to Emperor Chongzhen: "Long live my lord, the envoy from the Ryukyu Kingdom has arrived in the capital, requesting an audience!"

Previously, after envoys from the Ryukyu Kingdom landed in the Ming Dynasty, they reported to the local government and required the approval of the capital before they could come to the capital.

Now that he has arrived in the capital, Emperor Chongzhen naturally already knows the news about the envoy from the Ryukyu Kingdom. He is not surprised to hear it now.

When Li Ruolian heard about the envoy from the Ryukyu Kingdom, he immediately remembered that when Zheng Zhilong told him about the situation in the Japanese country, he had mentioned something about the Ryukyu Kingdom. After hearing this, he had an idea and suddenly a new idea came to him.

The idea came to me.

So, he quickly reported to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, there will finally be a way to rescue Mrs. Zheng and his second son!"
