Qian Qianyi was stunned and then said happily: "Have the emperor heard of Zheng Sen? This son is a student of Weichen, whose courtesy name is Mingyan. Weichen named him Damu, meaning a good talent in the country. Zheng Sen is indeed a rare talent. I predict that Zheng Sen will win the championship this time. Zheng Sen is indeed the eldest son of General Zheng Zhilong. I heard that his mother is a Yi Nu, named Weng."

I was happy in my heart and finally found Zheng Chenggong. I was surprised that Zheng Chenggong was a student of Qian Qianyi. In my impression, Zheng Chenggong was a military general and had nothing to do with poetry and essays. Isn’t it the same person? It’s impossible! Zheng Sen must be Zheng Chenggong.

"Qian Aiqing, I want to go to the Imperial College for a walk, so you can accompany me!" I want to go and see Zheng Chenggong, see what this celebrity looks like forever, and can also answer the doubts in my heart.

Qian Qianyi agreed but didn't move. I looked at him, "Is there anything else for Qian Aiqing?" Seeing that he wanted to speak but stopped, he knew that there was something else.

Qian Qianyi's expression on his face was a little unnatural, "Your Majesty, Li... Li Xiangjun is in the palace? There are all kinds of words that are circulated outside now. I think it is not worth it to make Your Majesty talk about for a woman. I hope Your Majesty will release Li Xiangjun out of the palace as soon as possible to calm the rumors in the market." In fact, Qian Qianyi was forced by his concubine Liu Rushi to ask these words. The matter of the Imperial College was just an excuse. Liu Rushi and Li Xiangjun are both figures among the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai, and they have deep feelings for each other. When they learned that their sister Li Xiangjun was taken into the palace by Emperor Hongguang, how could they not be worried and worried about the future of Li Xiangjun and Hou Fangyu.

I looked at Qian Qianyi and lowered his head, "Does my words and deeds still have to be influenced by others? I will not mention this matter again in the future and lead the way."

It was already June in the south of the Yangtze River, and the scenery was pleasant. Qian Qianyi took me and Tian Rong into a relatively spacious courtyard. I did not ask Wang Bao to come with me. I came here just to meet Zheng Chenggong. Why did I do such a big show? I have told Qian Qianyi to bring Zheng Sen to see me. Thinking about seeing the person I have always wanted to meet, I was very nervous. To be honest, how could I have thought of meeting Zheng Chenggong in the past?

Not long after, Qian Qianyi brought a tall young man in, "Ming Yan, this is the current emperor, and he has not seen him yet."

"Zheng Sen, a student of the Imperial College, pay a visit to the emperor, long live the emperor!" Zheng Sen did not expect that the teacher would bring him to see the emperor. He was surprised and happy. Seeing Tianyan only benefits but no harm.

"Rise your head!" When I thought of Zheng Chenggong kneeling in front of me, I felt a sense of accomplishment in my heart in addition to being nervous, maybe it was because of vanity! Zheng Sen raised his head and looked at me. It was indeed a good appearance, with white skin, bright eyes, and a fur on his nose. When I saw it, he couldn't help but lower his head. After all, I am the emperor, so it's normal for him to be full of awe of me.

"I heard that you are the eldest son of General Zheng Zhilong, and you have a good knowledge. Your teacher strongly recommends you. I hope you can get good results in Enke exams. Qian Aiqing, go out for a while, I want to talk to Mingyan alone." Thinking of what I want to ask, it would be better to send Qian Qianyi away.

When Qian Qianyi left, I asked Tian Rong to move a chair for Zheng Chenggong, "Sit down and talk. I want to ask you something. It's too tiring to talk while standing."

Zheng Sen was stunned, "Students dare not. If the emperor has anything to say, just ask the students, just stand." Joke! Zheng Sen has also heard of Emperor Hongguang's character, so he dare not show disrespect. That's asking for death!

Seeing that he insisted on not sitting down, I had to give up, "I know that your father is proficient in water warfare, but I don't know what you know about water warfare? What do you have to think about guarding the Yangtze River."

Zheng Sen looked embarrassed, "When he returned to the emperor, although the student's father was proficient in water wars, his father never allowed students to participate. The student was diligent in studying since he was a child and was really unfamiliar with marching and fighting."

I almost slid down from the chair. What the hell is going on! I used to attach great importance to Shi Kefa and hoped that he could help him take the lead. But I was very disappointed. Shi Kefa's talent was very limited. Now it's Zheng Chenggong again. I thought he was a powerful general, but he was a scholar who didn't understand military affairs. God! The earth! You really know how to arrange it! You might as well hit me to death. What should I do?

I suppressed the restlessness and uneasiness in my heart, "Ming Yan, as the saying goes, a tiger father has no dog son, I have high expectations for you. When you study in the future, you should also read more military books and strategies. The country is now in internal and external troubles. I hope you can help me in the future. Do you understand?" If it is not for the mistake of history, it is that Zheng Chenggong has not yet come into contact with military affairs, so I have to develop his military capabilities, hoping that he will not disappoint me.

Zheng Sen was very excited when he heard the emperor say this. The emperor's meaning was very obvious. He wanted to use himself! He knelt down and said something very good. In fact, Zheng Sen was not unfamiliar with war since he was a child. Although he had never participated in the battle, he was very knowledgeable about firearms and muskets. Who made him born in a pirate family? After hearing the emperor's words, Zheng Chenggong made up his mind and put more effort into this in the future. His father Zheng Zhilong always asked him to study, and he was almost annoyed. With the emperor's words, he believed that he could make a fortune without studying.

Compared to Zheng Sen's joy, I was very depressed, very disappointed, and full of confusion about the future. Am I destined to follow the trajectory of history until I was cut off ten months later? I asked Qian Qianyi to arrange for Zheng Sen to leave after a post in the Jiang Defense Force. I believe that Qian Qianyi, who now defected to Ma Shiying, will do this well.

"Are the emperor unhappy?" On the way back, Tian Rong saw that the emperor's face was ugly. The emperor's gentle temper gave him the courage to take the initiative to talk to the emperor recently.

I shook my head, but I was thinking about opening my heart. I don’t know how his business was going. I’m afraid it won’t be as smooth as he said! I suddenly have an epiphany now. I have always been thinking about asking others to help me. The first thing I thought about in this era was to find Zheng Chenggong and Shi Kefa and let them assist me, but reality shattered my thoughts. They disappointed me so much. Although I haven’t seen Shi Kefa yet, I believe he can only disappoint me.

I can only rely on myself now, and it is impossible for pies to fall from the sky. If I put my hope on others, I would probably be disappointed. I suddenly felt enlightened in my heart. Yes, I have to rely on myself and my own abilities to rise in this era. With my understanding of history and with my much more common sense knowledge than people in this era, aren’t I really doing nothing? I don’t believe it. “Let’s go, let’s go back to the palace!”

Tian Rong looked at the emperor whose emotions were changing rapidly and wondered what made the emperor so happy! It seems that the old eunuchs in the palace were right, and those who are slaves could never grasp the emperor's emotions.
