Zuo Menggeng knew that Wu Sangui wanted to join him.
The instructions given were…
Not accepted.
Why are you so famous when everyone is a traitor?
Well, that's not the case.
The main reason is that once Wu Sangui is accepted, it will affect Xia Guo's subsequent strategic planning.
Zuo Menggen is becoming more and more ruthless as a politician. He doesn't care about Wu Sangui's life or death, as long as it is in the interests of Xia State.
Xia Guo's ruthlessness made Wu Sangui's heart feel cold.
During this time, news from the capital gradually spread.
His favorite concubine was occupied by Liu Zongmin.
What's even more outrageous is that his father Wu Xiang was actually beaten by Liu Zongmin.
This made Wu Sangui furious.
Before he surrendered, his family was tortured. One can imagine what the consequences would be if one surrendered.
Xia Guo had no hope, and Wu Sangui was ruthless and quickly sent people north to contact the Manchus.
Dorgon was very excited when he received the news that Wu Sangui intended to surrender.
He seemed to have seen that the passage into the Central Plains was about to open.
After some discussion, the Manchu and Qing senior officials decided not to agree to Wu Sangui easily. For the time being, let's hang it up and put extreme pressure on Wu Sangui so that there is no way back.
The Xia Kingdom ignored it, Dashun pressed forward step by step, and the Manchu and Qing Dynasties were ambiguous.
Wu Sangui's life became increasingly difficult.
Zhang Yan took several children, followed Lu Ping, Han Chuan and others on the boat in Tanggu, and headed south along the sea route.
There were no more hiccups in the process.
The sea is completely owned by Xia Kingdom.
The two battleships were lying across the water, and no one else dared to take a second look at them.
After only one day's journey, the boat entered the territory of Xia Kingdom, went up the Daqing River, and led directly to Jinan.
When the ship docked at Jinan Pier, Lu Ping brought some new and clean clothes.
"It's been a long journey. When we get here, we can finally take a breath. Please change clothes for the children. Your Highness and the Princess are already waiting."
Zhang Yan knew that from now on, she would no longer be the queen of the Ming Dynasty.
As for her fate, she has no control over it.
But there is one thing. It is absolutely unacceptable to wear the Queen's dress of the Ming Dynasty in the Xia Kingdom.
All the royal attires worn by Zhu Cihong, Zhu Yuluo and others must be removed.
The clothes Lu Ping prepared can clearly show his care. When Zhang Yan wears it, it fits her perfectly.
It even took care of her mood, all wearing traditional clothes.
It's just that the horse-faced skirt is not as fat as the Ming Dynasty. It is carefully cut and fits perfectly.
When Zhang Yan wore it, she felt very beautiful and felt a little better.
Several children had also changed their clothes, and when they saw it, they thought it was a rich man or young lady. They never expected that this was Chongzhen's child.
Several people walked out of the cabin, and there was already a carriage waiting on the shore.
The area was isolated by soldiers and no one was seen, thus avoiding the possibility of leaks.
Just when everyone was about to get on the bus, the youngest Princess Zhaoren clapped her hands and exclaimed.
"Wow, what a big bridge."
This has become a common behavior for anyone who comes to Jinan for the first time.
Zhang Yan turned around blankly and looked at the several-mile-long bridge that spanned the north and south. She simply doubted her life.
Is this something that human power can build?
But the galloping carriages and horses above truly told her how great Xia Guo was.
The next journey was very uneventful, and we soon arrived at Prince Xia's Mansion.
Zuo Mengeng, Xu Ruolin, and Wang Siyi personally greeted Zhang Yan and gave Zhang Yan enough respect.
When he saw Zhang Yan for the first time, Zuo Mengeng couldn't help but feel a little confused.
She is worthy of being one of the five famous queens. Even though she is thirty-eight years old, she is still unparalleled and naturally beautiful.
Coupled with the influence of being a queen, her whole body is filled with an attractive aura.
Fortunately he is not a thief, I am afraid he really can't help it.
Zhang Yan also looked at the family of three in front of her.
This is the most powerful family in the world after the fall of the Ming Dynasty.
The male protagonist has just passed his age and looks extremely young.
Zhang Yan compared Zuo Menggeng and Chongzhen.
Chongzhen was too weak, and after years of torture, he was full of decadence. Even if he is wearing a dragon robe, he does not have the aura of a king.
But the Zuo Mengeng in front of him, although he was wearing an ordinary military uniform, was tall and tall, sharp and sharp, exuding the same suppressive power as a lion.
Next to her, Xu Ruolin was wearing a weird simple plain dress. She didn't seem to have any makeup on, but it was so light and elegant that it actually outshone her.
Another woman shocked Zhang Yan even more.
Tall and heroic, he is also wearing a military uniform and has neat short hair. The facial features are like carvings, with a sharp sense of beauty.
Zhang Yan has never seen such a tall woman, who can compare with all the men in the world.
Although I thought about this meeting many times along the way. But when the time came, Zhang Yan was a little confused and didn't know what to do.
No matter what, she is the queen of the world. Although the Ming Dynasty has died, the tiger will not fall down even if it is dead, and the aura must not be weakened.
When she thought of this, she couldn't help but hold her head high, and her indifferent expression had a bit of the magnanimity of a superior.
Zuo Mengeng looked at it and found it funny.
"Welcome to Jinan, Ms. Zhang. We are a rare distinguished guest, please don't let us see you outside."
This "Ms. Zhang" is definitely a title that Zhang Yan has never heard in her life.
Before leaving the cabinet, not many people knew her maiden name.
After leaving the cabinet, others only called her Queen. So much time passed that even she forgot her name.
This was the first time in her life that someone called her that. Although it was weird, for some reason, it made Zhang Yan feel like she was the same person.
The change in mood made Zhang Yan relax.
"Thank you, King Xia, for your generous rescue."
Zuo Mengeng nodded and reached inside to treat him.
"You orphans have done nothing wrong and should not be held responsible for this."
The calmer his attitude became, the more heartbroken Zhang Yan felt.
Even when the Ming Dynasty was still around, she was not unaware of the criticism among the people.
But she and these children are not the ones in charge. Although they enjoy the glory and wealth of the royal family, what can be changed?
Zuo Menggeng's objective evaluation is rare in the world.
Zhu Cixiang was already very sensible and knew that Zuo Menggeng could decide the life and death of himself and his brother and sister.
Remembering his mother's teachings before leaving, he gritted his teeth, stepped forward, his knees softened, and he knelt down.
"Those who have lost their country, thank you for your protection."
Before he finished speaking, a strong force came over him that he couldn't resist.
When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had been picked up by Zuo Mengeng.
Zuo Mengeng couldn't help but sigh when he looked at this thin boy and the fear in his eyes.
"Don't kneel down casually if you have nothing to do. The Xia Kingdom doesn't like this. Don't think too much. I just pity you innocent children, so I saved them. If I really want to harm you, just ignore it when I'm in the capital. From now on, I'll be safe. Live your life separately and don't think too much, and you will be in peace."
