Queen Zhou's heart suddenly tightened and her whole body trembled. She remembered this feeling. Every time Chongzhen had to deal with a minister, she would definitely have this cold feeling inside.

"Your Majesty, forgive me! Your Majesty, forgive me. I will send someone to send a message immediately, asking my father to donate all the food."

"You, don't be so nervous, I don't want Uncle Jiading's property.

Uncle Jiading is still my father-in-law no matter what. Even if he goes too far, I will not make the queen sad and let the children lose their grandfather."

When Chongzhen was talking just now, he couldn't help but think of Zhou Kui's strange deeds, donating money to poor people.

In the end, relying on his status as the head of state, he accumulated a huge sum of 700,000 yuan in the capital for twenty years, but Li Zicheng's men killed his entire family before they could get it out.

Think again about why officials in the Ming Dynasty were corrupt and unofficial? Nonsense, everyone will follow you, Zhu Baba, to conquer the world. What will be the result?

Your children and their families live a happy life. When they first became officials, they had land, but as time went on, officials lived frugally to support their families, and the royal family enjoyed themselves, so who can agree?

Queen Zhou gradually calmed down under Chongzhen's comfort. Chongzhen spoke to her again before leaving.

"Hoo, here comes someone."

Empress Zhou took a deep breath, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and then called for her personal maid.

"You immediately sent someone to summon Jiadingbo to the palace and asked him to come to the palace quickly."

Watching the palace maid leave with the token, Queen Zhou patted her chest and thought secretly about how to convince her father.

Dongchang Monitoring Institute is already a small organization independent of Dongchang. Wang Chengen is not in the Dongchang Monitoring Room, but he is still the direct leader here.

The small house that once housed only five or six people has been replaced by a large courtyard. Several antennas protrude from the roofs of the two rooms in the middle, and Tata Tower's low-noise diesel generator is generating electricity.

Several young chamberlains were in the courtyard, facing Chongzhen's life-size photo on the wall, holding the alphabet and chanting "Oh, oh, hungry, full of fish".

In the courtyard room, there were all kinds of salsa sounds. The eunuchs were wearing headphones and holding water-based pens to fill in the important contents they heard in their notebooks.

"Okay, let's put down what we are doing and rest for half an hour."

Amidst the sound of clapping, Wang Chengen stood in the courtyard. One by one, the young eunuchs filed out, happily discussing what they had just heard. Some eunuchs were looking at the countdown sign in the courtyard.

There are Arabic numerals 325 on the sign, which means that they can leave here in 325 days.

After the eunuchs lined up and stood in line, Wang Chengen stood under the photo of Chongzhen on the wall.

"Scream to me and we will always be loyal to His Majesty Emperor Chongzhen. In order to prevent our poor family from reincarnation in the world, we swear to find out corrupt officials without missing a word!!"

"..."

In accordance with Chongzhen's instructions, Wang Cheng'en also brought it to this courtyard to reminisce about the bitter and sweet and shout slogans, which even made some inquiring people think that this was another internal official academy.

After waiting for a while and seeing that the time was almost up, Wang Chengen walked to the door of the yard.

"Your Majesty."

"Well, is this place fully operational? Can the living facilities be completely isolated from the interior?"

"Returning to your Majesty, it can be done completely. Once the food and drink are introduced from outside, there will be no chance for them to be spread out again.

All leftovers after the meal, as well as excrement, household garbage, and wrapping paper, will be poured directly into the iron box designated by you, waiting for you to use your magic to transport it away."

"This process must not be messed up. In this courtyard, no one is allowed to come into contact with them except you, including those in charge of food and beverages."

Chongzhen nodded, and Chen Ye moved a water tower to this courtyard to ensure that these eunuchs had their own shower room for personal cleaning and a laundry room for washing.

As for the excessive garbage, Chongzhen will transfer it directly to Chen Ye, and Chen Ye will transfer it to the garbage room in the warehouse through the system. After all, the garbage room in the warehouse is also his controlled area.

In this situation of complete isolation from the outside world and multiple alarm settings, the listening room can guarantee absolute safety within one year.

And this year was enough for Chongzhen to arrange the big and small ghosts in his court, so that he could rely on those who at least didn't have many flaws.

"Wang Zhixin, how is your observation?"

"Back to the Emperor, it's still the same as before. When we get to the Military Staff Bureau, we start misappropriating the moon silver."

The two people walked to a small room together, and Chongzhen looked at the two radio stations installed in the room.

Calculating the time, Jin Yiwei should be able to arrive in Anhai today, right?

"If you have any news about Zheng Zhilong, please send it to me immediately.

Hong Qing should be preparing to leave seclusion. Arrange more people here and keep an eye on him. If there is any new news, ring the bell to notify people outside."

"I understand."

Wang Chengen nodded quickly. He understood that the emperor was worried about the south, but Zheng Zhilong's surrender could not be rushed in a short time.

…

On March 8, the fourteenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, Anhai Town, Fujian Province.

Zheng Zhilong is discussing with Zheng Zhibao in the room the merchant ships that will leave the port this year, and they have already prepared the goods for more than twenty ships.

When I was debating whether to add another batch of spices from Southeast Asia, news came from outside the door.

"Sir, people from Nanjing are already berthing."

"I know, let me know when you get to the door, and I'll go and greet you."

"Brother, who needs you to pick up in person?"

Seeing the servants leaving, Zheng Zhibao asked curiously, with Zheng Zhilong's identity and official position, in Fujian, when the governor came, he had to go to the side hall to greet him obediently.

"The emperor of the capital sent the royal guards over, saying that he had an imperial edict to reward him, and also had arrangements for Sen'er."

"Is there such a good thing? Why do you suddenly think of awarding a reward? Brother, the emperor doesn't want us to pay, right? I heard that the north has been mobilizing troops in recent years."

Zheng Zhibao simply didn't believe it. Zhao'an and the others were unable to surrender back then. Now that they have been operating for such a long time, the emperor might have forgotten about them. Now he suddenly remembered that he must want money.

"Humph, pay? We guard these thousands of miles of sea territory for the imperial court. Isn't there any expense? Moreover, the salary is also provided by Nanjing. We support the capital, but the capital is still unwilling?"

Zheng Zhilong took a sip of tea with disdain. The two imperial teams in the south and the north had a vague feeling of one country, two systems.

It was fine in the early years, but in recent years, with the operation of southern officials and the fact that the north can only get in but not get out, the south no longer takes the north seriously.

After waiting for a while, the servant came in again to report. Zheng Zhilong straightened his clothes and walked out of the backyard.

Part of the 100-man Jinyiwei team that came from the capital was arranged to Anping Port, leaving only the key 100 households, leading a few small flags holding equipment to get on the carriage.

From a distance from the carriage, you can see an extension of the courtyard wall. According to the person leading the way, this area is Zheng Zhilong's territory.

Zheng Mansion is located to the north of Anping Bridge, from Xidai to Xigang in the west, Xitou in the north, Anping Qiaotou in the south, and directly connected to Wugang Port, covering an area of ​​138 acres.

In other words, if Zheng Zhilong's house is demolished, 13 standard football fields can be built.

"Several messengers have arrived. Please follow me to the main hall. The master is already waiting."

After several people got off the car together, together with the servants arranged by Zheng Zhilong to pick them up, they walked along the corridor, passed the garden with small bridges and flowing water, and arrived at the Catholic Church in the front yard.

Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhibao stood waiting in front of the door.

"My official, Luo Jin, from the 100 households of Jinjing Jinyi Guards, came with His Majesty the Emperor's express and secret orders. Zheng Zhilong, the Governor of Fujian Province, received the orders."

"Your Majesty, Zheng Zhilong, accepts the order."
