”Huang'ma, First Mother, Xian`er will be leaving first!” As he grew older, he already knew that Huang Ama would not be his first wife alone, nor would it be hers alone. She wanted Huang Ama, but she knew that her first mother would want her, so when he saw Xuan Ye coming over, she too withdrew, leaving Huang Ama to her first mother.
”Your majesty, you can't get used to being a constitutional lord anymore. If you marry someone in the future, they will laugh at you.” Rong'er scolded softly.
”Who would laugh at my daughter!” ”Rong'er, I haven't come to see you in a few days. When we were entering, I heard that both you and the Constitution are blaming me!” Xuan Ye sighed.
”No, Your Majesty. How could that be? Chenqie knows that His Majesty must be busy again.” Rong'er walked over and gently rubbed Xuan Ye's shoulder.
”Yes, I'm really busy now. In the past few days, Commander Shi Lang of Fujian Province has returned to the capital and told me about Taiwan's status. Last July, I appointed Shi Lang as the Governor of Fujian Province to train his soldiers and let him take the opportunity to attack Taiwan. These days, he has entered the capital to file a lawsuit and told me that he is confident that Taiwan will be reclaimed within the year.” Xuan Ye sighed.
”Are we going to war again? The world is finally at peace. ” Rong'er sighed.
”Taiwan is the late emperor's last wish, I will definitely fulfill it for the late emperor!” Xuan Ye softly murmured.
”Your majesty, chenqie remembers that in the past when you were in Pingfan, you said that Taiwan was ruled by the Zheng family of Ming Dynasty?” Rong'er asked curiously.
Xuan Ye sighed softly, ”Actually, since ancient times, Taiwan had been a part of the Central Plains, and thus was a part of the territory of Ming. However, the former rulers were incapable of doing anything to make Taiwan occupied by the barbarians of Spain and the Netherlands, whereas the Zheng family, being a pirate born in the former era, was often involved between the former and the former. At that time, Taiwan was still in the hands of the barbarians of the Netherlands. ”Later on, the Ancestor Emperor's Qing-Yun Realm entered the Central Plains, and in the south of the capital of the former Ming Dynasty, it was called Nanming. Zheng Zilong was highly valued, and the Imperial Duke and the Grand Preceptor were placed in a position of importance, but how brave was the late Emperor's army? Even in the south, Zheng Zilong had actually surrendered to the Emperor's army. Originally, everything was fine, but his son Zheng Zilong refused to follow his father's lead, leading his people into a campaign to reverse Qing-Ming.
”This Zheng Sheng cared not for his father's life and death. He was wholeheartedly loyal to the Ming Dynasty. He had been completely loyal to the Ming Dynasty. He could also be considered to be in line with that saying, 'filial piety cannot be forgiven'.” Rong'er sighed.
”Humph!” Xuan Ye gave a light snort, ”What about loyalty and filial piety? I can see that he just wants to establish himself as king. You know that he is not a pure Han Chinese, and his mother is a woman that Zheng Chilong knows from Japan. He is a bastard son of Zheng Chilong, and he has half of the Volkswagen's bloodline.”
Xuan Ye thought for a moment before sighing, ”However, he had an achievement that I cannot deny. When I ascended the throne, Zheng's army drove away the Dutchman in Taiwan. This is enough to prove that Zheng was intelligent.” ”I can't help but lament the fact that he died too early. If he had been the commander of this battle, I would definitely have had many strong opponents.”
”Then does the emperor have any confidence in defeating the Zheng clan now?” Rong'er asked softly.
Xuan Ye smiled confidently. ”I heard that Zheng was angered to death by his son Zheng Jing. Zheng Jing also had the ambition to take advantage of Wu Sanguan to fight his way back to the Central Plains. However, I won.” In fact, I had intended to recruit him as my master, but the heavens helped clear up the world. Early last year, Zheng Jing died, and there was internal strife in Taiwan. The newly ascended Zheng Keheng was no more than twelve years old, how could he have any great wisdom? The most important thing is that we have an officer who was Zheng Chilong's subordinate back then. He was demoted to Taiwan by Zheng Chilong, and then he accepted Zheng Chilong's surrender to him. Together, Zheng was recalled from the Dutch, but later on the two men got into conflict, and Shi Lang was demoted again to attack and take care of Taiwan. ”
Rong'er frowned, wanting to speak but hesitating. After hesitating for a long time, he said softly, ”There's something that chenqie doesn't know whether to ask or not.”
”There is nothing inappropriate between you and This Emperor. Please ask away.” Xuan Ye sat down on the warm brick bed with a smile and sipped on his tea.
Rong'er lightly spoke to Xuan Ye, asking in a low voice, ”According to chenqie's understanding of the emperor, the emperor often says that those who betray the great Qing once will betray the great Qing for the second time. This Shi Lang has repeated himself over and over again, how dare the emperor re-use him?”
”Hahaha!” Xuan Ye laughed loudly. ”Rong'er, you really know me. If it was someone else, I wouldn't use it, but I will use this Shi Lang!” Xuan Ye sighed. ”For someone with ability, you either kill him or use him, but do not provoke him. Shi Lang is someone with ability, but Zheng Shengli killed his father and his younger brother, the hatred for his father is exceptionally strong on him. I have always been deeply filial, and his filial piety has assured him that he will definitely be loyal to the Zheng Family.”
”The Emperor's thoughts are really meticulous, it's true that he said so.” Rong'er nodded in agreement.
”Hm!” To reclaim Taiwan, I am determined to win it. I will not let a single inch of land that was previously in the Ming Dynasty go to waste. Throughout the history of the Central Plains, all the great emperors such as King Tang, Li Shimin, and Cheng Jieshan have set their places in seclusion. As the emperors, if they could not set their places in seclusion, how can they be called outstanding emperors? ” ”” Xuan Ye sighed heavily. When Shi Lang returned to the capital, he specifically discussed his strategy and his confidence. Therefore, I have decided to unite Taiwan and return it to the Central Plains in one go! ”
Seeing the expression on Xuan Ye's face, Rong'er knew that it was time for Xuan Ye to be busy again, and for Da Qing to start fighting again. Although she didn't like war and didn't like people dying because of it, she knew that Xuan Ye was the emperor, and that was his responsibility.
