Fortunately, Zheng Zhilong did not fall out in the end, but asked someone to take the imperial envoy to rest.
The young eunuch originally thought that his trip would be a narrow escape, and he was already prepared to die heroically for his country.
Who would have thought that Zheng Zhilong did not kill him.
That's good, that's good However, the young eunuch was not willing to stay in Fujian for a moment longer.
But due to Zheng Zhilong's face, he could only reluctantly agree.
On the way to be taken to rest, the young eunuch followed the servants of the Zheng Mansion through the courtyards.
He saw all kinds of pavilions and pavilions, and the carved beams and painted buildings were astonishing.
There is no concession here compared to the palace.
Except for the five-clawed dragon carved on the house, Zheng Zhilong has enjoyed everything an emperor can enjoy.
The little eunuch became more and more frightened as he watched, and simply lowered his head.
He didn't raise his head until he reached the place.
This was an extremely luxurious wing.
The little eunuch carefully crossed the threshold and closed the door.
Then he put down the package, walked to the bed and sat down.
Hey, it would have been better if I hadn't rushed to deliver the message.
He originally thought that His Majesty was going to reward Zheng Zhilong, so he rushed over, thinking that he could take advantage of the opportunity to make a lot of money.
People feel refreshed when happy events happen, and Zheng Zhilong will not be stingy with a little money.
But who would have thought that His Majesty the Emperor would summon Zheng Zhilong to Beijing to report on his duties?
Doesn’t this make it clear that you don’t trust Zheng Zhilong?
Then Zheng Zhilong is not a fool, how could he not see it?
That's all, it's useless to complain now that things have come to this.
The little eunuch no longer asked for gifts of gold or silver, he just hoped to escape unscathed.
He was a little tired after running for so many days, so he simply lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
No matter what, it’s important to catch up on some sleep first.
I don't know how long it took, but the little eunuch felt that his eyes were red.
When he opened his eyes and saw him, he was startled.
I saw tongues of fire reaching the height of a person reaching the wooden door, and the burning wood crackled.
“It’s gone”
The little eunuch exclaimed, sat up instinctively, stepped on his shoes and ran towards the wooden door.
But when he ran over and tried to push open the wooden door, he found that the door was locked from the outside.
At this moment, the little eunuch felt very cold in his heart.
He understood that Zheng Zhilong must have asked someone to set the fire, with the purpose of burning him to death.
God, what evil has he done?
The little eunuch really wanted to cry, but his survival instinct made him keep trying to break out of the door.
He kicked with his feet and bumped with his shoulders.
He tried his best but couldn't open the door.
Obviously, the door was not only locked, but also blocked with something outside.
The little eunuch exhausted his strength and sat down on the ground slumped.
"Zheng Zhilong, you must die a good death.
You can kill our family, but you can't deceive His Majesty.
His Majesty will definitely capture you and bring you to justice."
He closed his eyes and waited quietly for the fire to engulf him and the room together.
"Master, I did everything you asked."
The housekeeper came to Zheng Zhilong's study and reported respectfully.
Zheng Zhilong took a sip of tea leisurely and said calmly: "Oh, that's good.

Prepare pen and ink to write a memorial to the court."
"yes."
The housekeeper responded quickly, called for pen and ink, and polished it for Zheng Zhilong himself.
The memorial was dictated by Zheng Zhilong, and the Qing guest he supported wrote it on his behalf.
The central meaning of the memorial is to apologize.
Unfortunately, the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court died in a fire.
Zheng Zhilong was also burned and needed to rest.
Zheng Zhilong could not go to Beijing to report on his duties in a short period of time, so he specially apologized to the emperor.
After the memorial was written, Qingke showed it to Zheng Zhilong for review.
After Zheng Zhilong read it once and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it, he ordered someone to seal it and send it to Nanjing quickly.
Zheng Zhilong knew very well that this memorial would cause an uproar when sent to Nanjing.
But he doesn't care.
This is what he wants He just wants to tell the little emperor that I, Zheng Zhilong, am not at the mercy of others.
Didn't you send an imperial envoy to announce the decree?
Well, I, Zheng Zhilong, also accepted the decree.
However, there are unforeseen circumstances, and people have misfortunes and misfortunes.
A fatal fire changed everything.
You can’t blame me, Zheng Zhilong, can you?
So what about the emperor?
The emperor also has to look at his face.
Zheng Zhilong simply ignored the imperial edict.
Joke about going to Beijing to report work What qualifications does the small imperial court of Can Ming have to ask him to come to Beijing to report on his duties?
It would be enough to give him face if he didn't pull the flag and create rebellion against the Ming court.
At this moment, Zheng Zhilong was very glad that he had made the decision to cooperate with the Qing court.
Although he did not completely fall to the Qing court, he somewhat left himself a way out.
If the Qing army can really successfully capture Huguang and Shandong in the future and march to Nanjing, Zheng Zhilong will not mind raising the flag in response.
Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are nothing in Zheng Zhilong’s eyes He only has interests in his eyes, and Zheng Zhilong will fall in love with whoever can bring him greater interests.
The Ming court treated him well.
He was awarded the title of Chief Military Officer of Fujian and was granted the title of Marquis.
But what the Qing court promised him was even better.
That's Wang Jue Zheng Zhilong knew that the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty would never give him the title of king with a different surname under any circumstances.
Because there was no precedent before, the little emperor could not make an exception for him.
But the Qing court was different.
King Sanshun and King Pingxi are both real princes, and they are both Han people.
With such a precedent, Zheng Zhilong was not worried at all that the Qing court would break its promise.
Originally, Zheng Zhilong was still hesitant about whether to favor the Qing court.
But after this incident, he made up his mind.
Emperor, son, if you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.
I was forced to do so by you Of course Zheng Zhilong will not rebel yet.
First, the time is not yet ripe, and second, Zheng Chenggong is still in the hands of the Ming court.
He is still very fond of this son Zheng Zhilong, and he will not give up Zheng Chenggong easily unless he has to.
It would have been better if Zheng Chenggong had not been sent to Nanjing to study.
But Emperor Chongzhen was still on the throne at that time, and no one would have expected that Li Zicheng would break through the capital in just a few months, and then the Eight Banners Qing army would enter the pass.
All this happened too quickly and was not part of Zheng Zhilong's plan.
By the time he reacted, Chongzhen's crown prince had already ascended the throne in Nanjing and sent Zheng Chenggong to some Huangming Military Academy.

Zheng Zhilong once wrote several letters hinting that his son would return to Fujian.
But Zheng Chenggong refused to leave Nanjing no matter what.
Later it was said that Zheng Chenggong also went north to Shandong to fight against the Qing army.
This really made Zheng Zhilong very angry.
At times like this, you can just sit back and watch the tigers fight.
What's the point of being in the limelight?
This is good, I am fighting desperately with the Qing court, but my son is trying to undermine me.
I hope that in the future the Qing court will remember his merits and forgive his son's sins.
"Write another letter and send it to Tianjin by sea, saying that I agree to transport shipbuilders to Tianjin."
After much thought, Zheng Zhilong finally made up his mind.
If selling grain to the Qing court was just a preliminary cooperation, transporting craftsmen to Tianjin was an upgraded cooperation
