Chapter 258: Reward
Emperor Apocalypse was obviously a little unbelievable.
Why did the person who just died appear again in a blink of an eye?
He subconsciously looked at Zhang Guangqian and couldn't help but say, "Didn't you say Zhang Qing is dead? You also said... you saw him being killed by a pirate..."
Zhang Guangqian: “…”
He didn't know how to answer.
Is Zhang Jingyi still alive?
Those pirates are extremely vicious, how could they let him live?
This is something Zhang Guangqian couldn't explain.
He was a little panicked, but he saw that Huang Liji and Sun Chengzong were also moved and looked at him one after another.
Zhang Guangqian was speechless for a moment, and he said for a long time: "This... I couldn't see clearly at the dark night. I... I heard the shouts of killing..."
Emperor Tianqi was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he glared at Wei Zhongxian and said, "Zhang Qing is really alive... Why haven't he come to see me yet? I want to see the talented people in person. Go, you can bring him in person..."
Wei Zhongxian was laughing with him, but seeing that His Majesty was like this, he didn't dare to say anything. He nodded quickly and then went there like flying.
Emperor Tianqi was surprised and suspicious.
On one side, he said he was dead, but on the other side, he said he was alive.
Isn't this a hell?
Zhang Guangqian was by his side, and his heart was already in a state of confusion and frightened.
Sun Chengzong looked at Zhang Guangqian sternly: "Dr. Zhang, which sentence is true and which sentence is false?"
Zhang Guangqian said aloofly: "This... is all true. How dare you deceive the king? I think... there must be some misunderstanding...I...I..."
Emperor Tianqi said angrily: "Don't worry, wait until the truth comes out!"
Zhang Guangqian's face was terrible, but he still couldn't accept it: "Maybe Xinxian Marquis... is lucky and escaped like me. This Xinxian Marquis is really auspicious person who has a heavenly preface. I think... this is all the blessings of Your Majesty..."
Emperor Aoki snorted coldly and ignored him.
At this time, Emperor Tianqi was extremely anxious and had countless thoughts in his heart. He still couldn't believe that Zhang Jingyi was alive.
But then, another thought came to his mind, that Zhao'an could not be done, so why take such a big risk!
Is an East India company more important than life?
If he really took it as Zhang Guang said before, he escaped forever, and I would definitely not forgive him.
Thinking about it hesitantly made him feel that time was extremely long. Finally, Wei Zhongxian finally left and returned. He came in, and then Zhang Jing followed him in.
Emperor Tianqi's eyes were fixed, and his eyes fell on Zhang Jingyi.
But Zhang Jingyi looked a little thinner than before, so Zhang Jingyi stepped forward quickly: "I have seen Your Majesty..."
Zhang Guangzhang had some hope, and felt that Zhang Jing would not come back forever, but now he saw Zhang Jing's living person, his face was already tragic, so he was in the corner and did not dare to show off.
Emperor Tianqi looked up and down with bright eyes, and secretly hated Zhang Jingyi, who was so bold that he was so bold.
It can be seen that after Zhang Jingyi, all the blame had disappeared. He couldn't help but say, "Are you still alive?"
Zhang Jingyi said seriously: "Your Majesty, of course I am alive. Why? Who said I am dead?"
Emperor Tianqi's eyes fell on Zhang Guangqian.
Zhang Guangqian was startled, his face turned red, and finally he laughed dryly: "No... I didn't expect... the Marquis of Xinxian also escaped..."
Zhang Jing saw Zhang Guangqian one by one and immediately understood what was going on. He couldn't help but admire Zhang San's ability to be so powerful that he drove Zhang Guangqian back first. In the past ten, he guessed Zhang Guangqian's psychology.
Zhang Jingyi said loudly: "Escape? Why do I want to escape?"
Zhang Guangqian was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
At this time, Zhang Jingyi's face turned cold and said, "How come you, as the deputy envoy, escaped first..."
Zhang Guangqian immediately denied: "No...I haven't."
"I still said no." Zhang Jing said: "If not, why did you come back early?"
Zhang Guangqian felt that he was speechless and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
He suddenly realized... Now that he had piled up countless lies, he could no longer explain it.
Emperor Aoki looked at the two of them back and forth and said, "What the hell is going on?"
"Your Majesty." Zhang Jing looked at Emperor Tianqi, but at this moment he was calm: "I have fulfilled my mission and ordered the pirates to be installed. Now, these pirates have landed in Tianjin Wei, so I will come to report."
"What?" Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but be stunned again.
He continued to look at Zhang Guangqian suspiciously: "Didn't it mean... these pirates are all rebellious, and they insulted me and the court, and refused to give in to justice?"
Zhang Jingyi said in surprise: "Your Majesty, who said this? These pirates are looking forward to the imperial court's orders to be safe. After I went to sea, they treated them with all their hearts and were extremely attentive and thoughtful. I told them that Your Majesty is willing to be safe and wanted them to serve my Ming Dynasty. They were ecstatic and praised Your Majesty's wiseness. They also said that although they were exiled overseas, they have been subjects of the Ming Dynasty for generations... I have never heard of any insults to the imperial court and Your Majesty, who has heard of his treacherous words?"
Zhang Guangqian: “…”
Emperor Tianqi immediately looked at Zhang Guangqian angrily.
Before, he had only had a little doubt about Zhang Guangqian and was too sad, so he had no intention of paying attention to him.
Now, I understand everything at once.
The person in front of him has been making trouble, and these things were all caused by him.
Zhang Guangqian could already feel the murderous intent emitted by Emperor Tianqi. He was so scared that he was out of his mind. He quickly defended: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... This... is empty talk. Maybe... maybe... yes, it must be like this. The Marquis of Xinxian got the benefits of those pirates and were bribed by the pirates, so he said their good things everywhere... Your Majesty... What I said is true..."
At this point, life is hanging on the line, so I can only try hard.
Zhang Guangqian decided to fight.
Zhang Jingyi couldn't help laughing and said, "Your Majesty, he said that I have taken the benefits of taking pirates, so why not? Just ask the pirate leader he said to come to defend himself."
Emperor Aoki raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but say in surprise: "The pirate has arrived?"
Wei Zhongxian said beside him: "I'm waiting outside the hall."
Emperor Aoki's face turned right, then sat down and said, "Xuan him come in."
After a while, Zhang San entered the palace. His behavior was very calm and not panic. He saluted: "Zhang San, a sinner, has seen Your Majesty."
Emperor Tianqi looked at Zhang San and said, "I heard... have you given Zhang Qing good?"
Zhang San glanced at Zhang Guangqian with expressionless eyes, and then said, "Your Majesty, the criminals have brought many benefits, but these benefits have nothing to do with the Marquis of Xinxian County. They are all sent to Your Majesty."
Emperor Aoki cheered up for a moment: "What are the benefits?"
Zhang San took out a book from his arms, handed it respectfully, and said, "Please check it out."
Emperor Tianqi glanced at Wei Zhongxian. Wei Zhongxian understood and quickly took the book and handed it to Emperor Tianqi.
Emperor Tianqi opened the book and looked at it carefully. It was naturally the wealth presented by Zhang San, such as 7,400 kilograms of gold, 21,200 kilograms of silver, 17 kilograms of pearls, and 972 kilograms of spices...
This dazzling array of wealth made Emperor Tianqi's eyes almost fall off.
He tried to calm down and continued to read backwards.
Then he saw the dozens of Jiannu heads offered, and was stunned.
The more I looked at the Apocalypse, the more I was surprised. If I continued to read, I could remember all the information of various ships and sailors.
It took a full incense stick before Emperor Tianqi finished reading it, and then he took a breath of cold air.
If the situation in this book is true, then this person named Zhang San is more loyal and righteous than all civil and military officials.
This is equivalent to taking out all his wealth and giving it to Emperor Apocalypse.
You should know that when Emperor Tianqi was in trouble, he borrowed money from his ministers. These guys usually took advantage of Emperor Tianqi and the court, but when he heard the word "money", he immediately refused to lose his penis.
On the other hand, this three...
The more Emperor Tianqi looked at him, the more he felt that Zhang San was pleased with his eyes. At this moment, his face was flushed with excitement: "Are these... dedicated to me?"
Zhang Sandao: "The sinners actually had doubts when they saw Zhao'an's edict. It was not until the Marquis of Xinxian personally arrived at the nest of the sinners, moved the sinners with affection and reasoning. The sinners only realized that Your Majesty was the most powerful sage king in the world, far away from the king of the Han and Tang dynasties. Now the country is in danger. Although the sinners are old, if Your Majesty has some importance, the sinners should go through fire and water. These books have the income accumulated by the sinners on weekdays. As for the ships of the sinners and brothers, they will naturally be used by Your Majesty at any time. The sinners and brothers still have some strength, and they have some understanding of the routes and ships on the sea, and they can also be used by Your Majesty. As for those Jiannu, Jiannu is your Majesty's confidant trouble. They are enemies of the Ming Dynasty, and they are mortal enemies who are irreconcilable to the sinners. The sinners naturally killed them and presented them to Your Majesty..."
Emperor Tianqi kept nodding, very satisfied, and said, "Okay, okay, okay, what he said... It turns out that he was a loyal minister..."
He said a few good words in a row and was very excited.
Then, he was excited: "Originally, the only emperors who were only to give kindness to their subjects, and there was no reason to accept the wealth of the subjects, but... I made an exception today. As for the Qing family, they killed the Jiannu and made contributions, and now they have repented and are willing to change their past mistakes and serve the court. Then... I should ignore the past grudges. Since I am in peace, I will naturally give me a reward, come... I will issue an order to grant the title of earl and then the title of deputy general of the Tianjin Wei Navy. I hope you can make new contributions."
When Huang Li heard that he was granted the title of Earl, he was very anxious and wanted to say something.
