When Tang Tong learned about this, he was also quite surprised. He thought that since Princess Changping and the others resented him, it would be impossible to get them to agree to such a thing easily. Tang Tong had this idea because he was still accustomed to looking at things from the perspective of later generations, forgetting that people of this era had different views on family, country, and morality from later generations. It was true that the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by Tang Tong, and the death of Emperor Chongzhen should also have something to do with Tang Tong, but for the continued survival of the Zhu family, for the children left behind by Emperor Chongzhen to not be killed, and even for them to live a better life in the future, Princess Changping had to bow to Tang Tong, and had to work hard to become Tang Tong's woman and make Tang Tong fall in love with her. Only in this way could the Zhu family be protected to a certain extent.
There was nothing to entertain people in this era, and Tang Tong didn't like the songs and dances of this era. Standing at Tang Tong's level, there was nothing for Tang Tong to pursue. The only thing that could make Tang Tong feel happy was beautiful women. For a beauty like Princess Changping, it would be self-deception for Tang Tong to say that he had no thoughts in his mind. However, Tang Tong didn't like having a woman who was sad all day long around him, so after hearing about this, Tang Tong still went to the palace in person to ask Princess Changping what she really thought in her heart. At the same time, he also wanted to visit how the royal members of the Zhu family were doing.
To be honest, the lives of people like Queen Zhou, Queen Zhang, and Concubine Tian are much better now than before. Tang Tong has a large number of colonies to plunder, so economically speaking, they are very rich. There is a lot of silver in the national treasury, and Tang Tong is also very generous to these royal members of the Zhu family. Therefore, the life of people like Queen Zhou is naturally not comparable to that of the Chongzhen Emperor's era. Except for the lack of real power, in terms of material, it is completely comparable to their status. If they still have the pain of losing their country in their hearts, people like Queen Zhou can be said to be living a very good life.
After this period of time, Empress Zhou, Empress Zhang and others no longer had the desire to die that they had before. The reason they wanted to die before was that they were afraid of being humiliated after being killed by Tang Tong, and that the reputation of the Zhu family would be damaged. Now, Tang Tong not only did not do anything to them, but all their supplies were very good. Except for not being able to leave the palace freely, their other life was much better than before. But then again, in the past, these royal women could not leave the palace freely. In fact, there was not much change in their personal freedom. This also allowed Empress Zhou, Empress Zhang, Concubine Tian and others to adapt quickly, and the pain they felt for the country was diluted a lot by time.
Tang Tong first paid a visit to Queen Zhou. Although Queen Zhou was now his captive, Tang Tong still paid her the visit with great etiquette. Queen Zhou was very surprised by Tang Tong's sudden arrival. Tang Tong was very polite in meeting her with the etiquette of a visit, which made Queen Zhou have a much better impression of Tang Tong. After all, Tang Tong, as a victor, could still treat a captive like her in such an attitude, which was also a kind of respect for her and her Zhu family. Therefore, Queen Zhou also received Tang Tong in accordance with etiquette. Originally, according to the human relations of this era, receiving guests was not a woman's job, but Queen Zhou's husband was dead, and she had no parents-in-law or the like above her. Queen Zhou was now the head of the family, and it was natural for her to come forward to receive Tang Tong. Besides, Tang Tong had come to visit her.
Tang Tong looked at Queen Zhou in surprise when she came out in her gorgeous makeup. Queen Zhou was about the same age as Tang Tong and was well-maintained. She was at the peak of her charm and attracted men's attention. However, Tang Tong could not do anything rude at the moment. He greeted Queen Zhou according to the rules and both sides talked about things as equals.
From Queen Zhou, Tang Tong finally understood a little bit why Princess Changping agreed to that matter. After sighing for a while, Tang Tong also understood that the affairs of wealthy families were not something that a person like him who came from a common family could think about. To put it bluntly, he, Tang Tong, was just a nouveau riche, and he did not have the ideas of those who came from wealthy families. At least, in the eyes of a person with Tang Tong's personality, he would not use his children's happiness as a bargaining chip for the benefit of the family.
After Tang Tong married Queen Zhou, he went to see Princess Changping. According to the rules, since the marriage had already been decided, Tang Tong could not meet Princess Changping before that. However, it was impossible for Tang Tong to abide by this rule. With his status, he could not be at the mercy of these rules. No one in the world could stop him from meeting whoever he wanted to see.
