"Mother, I don't want that Natalie... She is too big, her eyes are still blue, and her hair is curly. She looks like a Persian cat. And she is also Ekaterina The emperor’s granddaughter must be very fierce, let that Zhuge Weidao get her away quickly!”
The handsome young man is none other than the current emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Taiping Emperor Zhu Xijin. He has already secretly met Natalie Pavlovna, and he doesn't like her very much... Natalie is a "big beauty", a female bear! And Zhu Xijin is a small man, young, and has not yet developed well! If this falls into the hands of Natalie, a female furry bear, how can such a small body bear it?
Moreover, Zhu Xijin also knew about the heroic life of Emperor Catherine the Great, who was Natalie's biological grandmother! The little emperor was very afraid that he would become the second Peter III and be killed by this female bear...
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you this time!" Empress Dowager Zheng nodded repeatedly and said with a smile, "My mother doesn't like that Natalie either, so she will drive her away later... She belongs to King Zheng of Siam. My daughter is good, knowledgeable, courteous, gentle, and good-looking. You will be lucky if you marry her!"
The King Zheng of Siam whom Empress Dowager Zheng was talking about was not King Zheng of the Bangkok Dynasty, but King Zheng of the Thon Rivu Dynasty founded by Zheng Xin. Zheng Xin's ancestral home is in Chaozhou, and Zheng Chenggong, whose ancestral home is in Quanzhou, is the same Zheng - the writing method is exactly the same, so they must be the same ancestor!
Therefore, when Zheng Xin founded the Tunliwu Dynasty, in order to gain the support of the Ming Dynasty, he formed an alliance with the Zheng family of the Ming Dynasty. Recognize the Zheng family as the big sect and your own family as the small sect.
With the support of the Zheng family and the Ming Dynasty, the Thonliwu dynasty was of course stable, so Thonliwu in Siam has been maintained to this day.
In addition to the Tunliwu dynasty, the Zheng family also had two other small sects, one of which was the Annan Zheng dynasty - the Zhengzong under the "Li Huang Zhengzhu" system. In the original history, he fought with Nan Ruan for a hundred or two hundred years, and was finally killed by the peasant uprising army of the Xishan Dynasty.
But now with the support of the Zheng family of the Ming Dynasty, Lord Zheng of Annan also succeeded in usurping the throne, and he also got rid of Nan Ruan and unified Annan, even destroyed Champa, and nominally annexed the Jiulong River plain that originally belonged to Chenla. Of course, that was annexation in name only. Because the land in the Jiulongjiang Plain is in the hands of the Zheng family, the Zhennan Wang family, and the Ming Xungui family that follows these two families. Moreover, these Ming aristocratic families and Xungui families not only controlled the land there, but also controlled the population on the land. They also jointly established the Jiulongjiang Company to control the judiciary, administration and defense there. The reason why they did this was, of course, to circumvent the ancestral precept of King Wuzhong that "the Ming Dynasty will not colonize"...
In addition, the Zheng family also has a Xiaozong living in Japan, who is a descendant of Zheng Chenggong's younger brother Zheng Zongming (Tagawa Nanzaemon). Although it cannot compare with Zheng of Siam and Zheng of Annan, it has long been one of the top chaebols in Japan. It is also the largest importer and exporter in Japan, and it is also the royal merchant of the Tokugawa shogunate.
Among the three main sects of the Zheng family, the richest one is not actually the main sect of the Zheng family, but the small sect of the Thonliwu dynasty, which owns the kingdom of Siam. When the Thonliwu Dynasty of Siam was founded, the domestic population was very small, and the king was a Chinese from Chaozhou, so a large number of overseas Chinese businessmen were introduced for development. After more than a hundred years of development, Siam is now rich in rice, cassava (making cornstarch), teak, and natural rubber. The annual trade volume with the Ming Dynasty alone is astonishingly large. The rent collected by the Tunliwu royal family from the royal fields leased to Ming merchants can reach several million silver dollars every year!
The Tunliwu Dynasty, which had made a fortune, was very keen on marrying with the Ming Dynasty to give itself the bloodline of the Zhu Ming royal family, and often spent a lot of money to achieve this goal!
But even if the Tunliwu Dynasty has a lot of money, it has not been able to produce a Ming empress so far. If the queen position that Natalie left behind this time can be transferred to the princess of the Tunliwu Dynasty, the dowry that the little emperor can get will be an astronomical figure!
Moreover, with the support of the extravagant Tunliwu Dynasty in the future, he will be more likely to realize the hereditary throne. So Zhuge Weidao messed up the marriage between the young emperor and Natalie, and Empress Dowager Zheng was extremely happy.
"My mother, my sons and my ministers do not want a Siamese princess."
As soon as the little emperor said these words, Empress Dowager Zheng couldn't help but frown, "Your Majesty, you haven't even seen this Siamese princess, so why can't you like it? Are you attracted to some one?" Girl?"
The little emperor's cheeks turned red and he actually nodded - this little guy is in puppy love!
"Who do you like?" Queen Mother Zheng asked with interest.
"Mother, son, I like..." The little emperor lowered his head, "I like the little sister next to Natalie, she is so beautiful..."
"Nalandili next to Natalie?" Queen Mother Zheng immediately shook her head and said, "This is not okay!"
"Why?" The little emperor raised his head and looked at Queen Mother Zheng, "Isn't she Natalie's dowry? If I marry Natalie, won't she be his concubine? Mother, turn around and drive Natalie away. When you leave, let Nalandili stay!”
This emperor had a pretty good idea. He didn't want Natalie, a big wife, but he wanted to keep his dowry girl to warm his bed...
"No, no," Queen Mother Zheng waved her hands quickly, "She is not Natalie's dowry, that Shasha is. Nalandili is a person of Zhuge Dao..."
"How did she become Zhuge Weidao's woman?" The little emperor was anxious. How could such a beautiful Fairy Nalan become Zhuge Weidao's woman?
Empress Dowager Zheng explained: "She is the fairy concubine of the Nalan family of the Jin Kingdom. She was given to Zhuge Weidao by Emperor Daoguang of the Jin State. Her status as a fairy concubine also means that she will not be able to enter the palace as a concubine. Even if you marry her, Natalie, she also has to leave the palace and go back to Zhuge Weidao!"
The Ming Dynasty certainly knew what the Fairy Fairy of the Nalan family in the Kingdom of Jin did, so it was impossible for Nalandili to enter the palace as a concubine.
But the little emperor doesn’t think so!
He is not deaf or blind. Of course, he has also heard some things about his mother and Zhuge Weidao being particularly close... So in his opinion, Queen Mother Zheng asked Nalandili to follow Zhuge Weidao out of the palace. She's trying to please her husband!
The little emperor was getting angry when the black eunuch's voice was suddenly heard outside: "Black Whirlwind brings Zhuge Weidao, Natalie, and Nalandili to an audience!"
The queen’s husband, the female fur bear and the goddess are here together!
The little emperor's eyebrows knitted together, and his delicate face became a little stiff.
"Xuan!" said Empress Dowager Zheng.
She also knew that her son didn't like Zhuge Weidao very much... but she had nothing to do. It was normal for a little boy to dislike his mother's husband. She could only wait until he grew up and then slowly find ways to get closer to him. relationship between the two.
Zhuge Weidao already knew that the little emperor was coming - there were royal chariots and ceremonial guards outside Yuxi Palace, and the black eunuch guarding the palace gate also told Black Whirlwind about this.
So as soon as Zhuge Weidao followed Black Whirlwind into the gate of Yuxi Palace, he started to wander around to see what the little emperor looked like. As soon as I looked for it, I found it. There was a handsome young man sitting on a chair next to Queen Mother Zheng, looking at him with a frown... He didn't look very friendly!
"I, Zhuge, respectfully invite the Queen Mother and Your Majesty to greet you!"
"Natalie respectfully greets Her Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"Nalandili respectfully invites the Queen Mother, Holy Saint Ann..."
Although Zhuge Weidao was muttering in his heart, he still bowed to Empress Dowager Zheng and the young emperor respectively. Natalie and Nalandili also followed Zhuge Weidao to perform a blessing ceremony.
"Zhuge Daozi!"
Before Queen Mother Zheng could speak, the little emperor had already spoken.
Zhuge Weidao smiled and replied: "I am here."
"Have you... found out who ruined Grand Duchess Natalie's reputation?" the little emperor asked angrily.
What's going on with this little emperor? How to ask such a question?
Zhuge Weidao did not answer, but looked up at Empress Dowager Zheng.
Empress Dowager Zheng sighed, and could only say calmly: "Your Majesty, who told you that Grand Duchess Natalie has lost her reputation? Black Tornado, tell the emperor why Grand Duchess Natalie lost the election?"
"Yes." Black Whirlwind said, "Long live my lord, after repeated examinations by the female doctor in the palace, Grand Duchess Natalie's pelvis is too narrow, her waist and abdomen are too thin, and her menstruation is not normal. I'm afraid she is not suitable for pregnancy and childbirth."
