Li Ruo Lian immediately stepped forward and asked: "Your Majesty, do you think there is something wrong with Zheng Zhilong?"

"I don't know if he has any problems, but what happened at sea is very problematic!" Chongzhen said with a serious expression.

"First of all, Zheng Zhilong's activities are limited to the southeast. It is neither legal nor reasonable for him to appear in the south of Jeju Island!"

"Secondly, as Ming Dynasty soldiers, Shi Fu and Shi Lang should fly the Ming Dynasty flag and the corresponding commander's flag! Running around with the Jiannu flag is very wrong, and it is suspected of collaborating with the enemy!"

Looking at the somewhat indignant Chongzhen, Li Ruolian asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with them?"

"Don't worry about them!" Chongzhen smiled faintly.

"No matter?" Wang Chengen and Li Ruolian were stunned at the same time.

"Yes," Chongzhen was confident, "It is especially important to wait and see what happens at times like this!"

Li Ruolian and Wang Chengen looked at each other with complicated feelings.

They always felt that Chongzhen's way of handling things was a bit...simple.

Chongzhen's mouth curled up slightly, "Zheng Chenggong has made great contributions in escorting the voyage. Let the Imperial Household Department and the Cabinet reward him for his merits!"

"Also prepare for the second voyage. Zheng Chenggong will continue to escort us!"

Didn’t Zheng Zhilong want to be a pirate?

casual!

The escort was Zheng Chenggong.

Either give up looting or take action against Zheng Chenggong and ruin his future!

Chongzhen gave Zheng Zhilong two options!

No matter which one he chooses, it will be uncomfortable.

Wang Chengen's eyes suddenly lit up. He wrote it down and said, "I will convey it right away!"

"No hurry!" Chongzhen looked up at the sun in the sky again, "It's almost time, tell the Shangshenjian to prepare lunch!"

"I'll take my leave!" Li Ruolian saluted hypocritically.

Chongzhen asked: "Has Commander Li had lunch?"

"Your Majesty, I came in a hurry and haven't eaten yet!" Li Ruolian replied.

"Stay and eat with me. It's just an extra pair of chopsticks."

Li Ruo Lian was overjoyed in his heart, but he calmly replied, "I am terrified!"

Wang Chengen, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand it anymore. He interrupted and said, "If you are in a panic, leave quickly and don't cause any trouble for the palace!"

"How can that be possible!" Li Ruo Lian shook his head. "His Majesty's order is for me to stay in the palace for dinner. Leaving now would be tantamount to disobeying the order!"

"You..." Wang Chengen was speechless.

After a feast, Li Ruolian said goodbye to Chongzhen.

As soon as he left the Palace of Heavenly Purity, he met an old eunuch, who saluted and said, "Commander Li, the eunuch Gao, the seal holder of the Imperial Household Department, wants to see you!
