Father can be an enemy to the country

Chapter 1363 His Second Uncle

The next day, Zhu Zhen said goodbye to Shen Liu Niang and Hao Daer who were reluctant to leave, and left Tamluo Island.

Looking at Tamna Island gradually disappearing, Wang Yu and Zheng Mengzhou also shed tears of sadness.

Zhu Zhen was not very happy: "Why are you crying over my territory?"

"Back to your lord, after all, this place has a greater relationship with Goryeo." Zheng Mengzhou quickly replied: "Let's take this opportunity to express our reluctance to leave our homeland."

"That's it, then just cry." Zhu Zhen said without hesitation: "But you should laugh now, not cry."

"Why?" Zheng Mengzhou asked, "I really can't think of anything to be happy about."

"Isn't it worth being happy to save a life?" It was Wang Yu who answered him.

"..." Zheng Mengzhou was silent for a long time after hearing this. Fang nodded dejectedly and said, "Yes, if he stays in Goryeo, I guess Li Chenggui should also take action against Wei Chen."

"Sooner or later he will attack me." Wang Yu sighed softly: "So I am very willing to follow the prince to leave Korea, but I can't bear to part with my beauties."

"Haha, I didn't expect you to be a love interest." Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "This is easy to handle. You make a list and I will ask Li Chenggui to send them to Nanjing. You can live a good life from now on."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Yu happily bowed to Zhu Zhen deeply, and then said: "I have nothing else to thank you for, so I will just play the zither to relieve your boredom."

"Okay." Zhu Zhen nodded.

Wang Yu then asked someone to fetch his Zhuqin, set it up on the deck, and played the "King Kong City Song" again.

This time, the feeling of relief and thankfulness he wanted finally popped up...

Zheng Mengzhou, a talented scholar, could naturally hear the meaning of the king's music. I couldn't help but sigh secretly, and completely gave up my desire to compete again.

After leaving Tamna Island, the fleet did not go south, but took advantage of the wind and headed east, aiming for Hakata Bay in Kyushu, which is 600 miles away.

Now that I have made up my mind to return to Beijing in the new year, of course I have to go on an inspection tour. Jiuzhou, the second foreign province of the Ming Dynasty, and other places have accepted the imperial envoyship.

Originally, Wang Yu and Zheng Mengzhou were worried about whether they would encounter any trouble in this area where Japanese pirates were rampant. However, let alone Japanese pirates, they didn't even see the shadow of a ship during the entire journey.

After Ashikaga Yoshimitsu moved all the island residents back to the main island and Shikoku in accordance with the provisions of the treaty, and "no one went into the sea", the Japanese pirates who were once rampant became a sourceless water, unable to continue as before. The suppression is endless.

Moreover, without the cover of civilians, the pirate fleet was nakedly exposed to the guns of the fleet stationed in Japan.

After Yu Tongjiang's unremitting efforts for many years, the Japanese pirates have basically disappeared.

It wasn't until the fleet passed Iki Island that they saw a mighty fleet approaching slowly.

The officers and soldiers of the Ming army were not surprised but overjoyed, because it was the fleet stationed in Japan that came to greet them.

After the two sides communicated through the flag language designated by the Maritime Administration, the Japanese fleet escorted them to Hakata Bay.

In Hakata Port, the colorful flags were fluttering and the gongs and drums were noisy. The Kyushu Commander Hu Bo, the Acting Inspector Yang Shiqi, the Chief Envoy Shao Er Laicheng, Otomo Akashi and other prominent figures were all waiting on the pier early. Even the usually invisible people King Changqing also came.

When Zhu Zhen got off the boat, he gave his second uncle a bear hug without saying anything.

When everyone saw the appearance of the uncle and nephew, they couldn't help but secretly sigh that they were indeed the nephews who followed their uncle, just like their mother.

Zhu Zhen introduced the brothers except the fourth brother to a group of Kyushu officials and Chang Qinghou, then he and his second uncle got into the carriage and drove slowly into Dazhai City.

Looking at the rows of shops on both sides of the wide and straight Zhuque Avenue, it looks like business is booming and the market is prosperous. Zhu Zhen couldn't help but praise: "It has only been five years, and there are no traces of that war at all."

"Yes, Hakata is not only the only foreign trade port in Kyushu, but also the entire Northern Dynasty." Hu Bo said, stroking his gray heart-protecting hair:

"Coupled with the good policies formulated by the prince, businessmen from Kyushu and the Northern Dynasties gathered here, as well as those from China, Ryukyu, and Korea. The market was prosperous."

"Well, not bad." Zhu Zhen nodded with satisfaction and asked with concern: "What about uncle, are you doing well, do you miss home?"

"Not bad..." Hu Bo said with twinkling eyes: "Of course I miss your grandparents, but when I think that even the prince is running around for the court and can't get it home for several years, I can still hold on."

"Uncle, you don't have to be like this. It's not the past now. If you want to go back, I will make arrangements immediately." Zhu Zhen said warmly: "My mother has complained to me a lot over the past few years since I left you on Kyushu Island."

"No, no, that's not necessary. Don't listen to your mother-in-law." Hu Bo was a little anxious.

"Haha, okay. I respect uncle's opinion." Zhu Zhen finally couldn't hold back and laughed.

Seeing Zhu Zhen's narrow smile, Hu Bo smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty obviously knows everything, but he comes to entertain your second uncle."

"No, no, absolutely not." Zhu Zhen quickly denied it.

"Alas." Hu Bo sighed and said, "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that your aunt and Ah Fang are incompatible with each other. If I go back, there will be no peace again."

When A Fang came to Beijing to take over Shen Liu Niang's class at the invitation of Zhu Zhen, Hu Bo became a frequent visitor to Jinlian Courtyard, but he never went to whoring and only slept with the proprietress.

But there is no airtight wall in the world. Later, when his wife found out about it, they refused in every way.

My second aunt had a hot temper and started a big fight, which even alarmed Concubine Hu. This made Hu Bo very anxious and embarrassed, but he was also a stubborn person. The more he did this, the more he refused to give up Afang...

The result was a big fight. Zhu Zhen, the instigator, was scolded by his mother by his ears and ordered to solve the problem immediately.

Not long after, Zhu Zhen led his second uncle to fight against the Japanese. After Kyushu offered land, he made his second uncle the commander of Kyushu. Trust is one aspect, but in fact, it also means to let the second uncle avoid the limelight.

Unexpectedly, this avoidance became addictive.

"It seems that my uncle has lived a comfortable life in the past few years?" Zhu Zhen smiled.

"That's right." Hu Bo said happily: "Afang takes good care of me. No matter how exhausted I am outside, as long as I return home, all my worries are gone. Don't you think this kind of life is great?"

"Is that so..." Zhu Zhen didn't want to interfere in the affairs of the elders, so he nodded and said: "Then you can continue to work here, but grandma is old, you still have to go back often."

"I go home every year when I report to the capital." Hu Bo responded, and sighed: "In fact, I want to stay a little longer every time, but unfortunately I can't stay every time."

"Alas..." Zhu Zhen sighed with him.
