Zheng Jing is here in Hangzhou!

This is the news that Zhu Youlang has recently received.

This could be considered mixed news for him.

He was angry that Zheng Jing was a little useless, and he was happy that Zheng Jing could recognize the situation and admit his mistakes in time.

If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good.

Even for Zheng Chenggong's sake, Zhu Youlang would not blame Zheng Jingyu.

After all, Zhu Youlang also knew that the process of the battle in Xiaolangyu was not entirely Zheng Jing's responsibility, and the result was also considered good.

In short, Zhu Youlang wanted to educate Zheng Jing well from the perspective of the king, which was also a blow.

When necessary, you should put some pressure on these nobles.

As for the Jinyiwei and the East Factory, Zhu Youlang has ordered them to go for open and secret investigations, so there is no need to say anything extra.

Quanzhou, Fujian is not far from Hangzhou. In a blink of an eye, Zheng Jing's fleet arrived in Hangzhou.

The first thing he did after coming to Hangzhou was naturally to apologize from the emperor.

This is the result of his careful consideration.

The Jinyiwei in front of the Emperor's Palace surrounded the palace like an iron barrel.

Zheng Jing is no exception when he comes. He must be informed before he can meet the saint.

Although Zheng Jing was mentally prepared, he was still a little nervous when he came to the palace.

He happened to use this time to close his eyes and rest, and adjust his emotions.

"Your Majesty announces your visit to Prince Zhong."

I don’t know how long it took, an eunuch went back and appeared in front of Zheng Jing.

Zheng Jing opened his eyes, took a deep breath and said in a harmonious voice: "Thank you, father-in-law."

"Your Highness, please."

The people who serve the emperor are all first-class people.

It will take only one or two days for the two of Zhongwang and his son to be loyal to the saints. It can be said that they are in the heart of the emperor and have a stable position.

Such people are easily and impossible to lose power.

Therefore, when dealing with Zheng Jing, the eunuchs naturally had a kind attitude.

The eunuch led Zheng Jing forward and soon arrived at the heart of the palace.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is inside, and I will retreat."

Zheng Jing nodded and said in harmony: "Thank you, my father-in-law."

Zheng Jing stood in front of the hall to sort out his robe, tidy up his clothes, and then stalked towards the hall.

Although it is an open palace, etiquette is indispensable.

Zheng Jing repeatedly warned himself that he must show the etiquette that his subjects must have.

After walking around the screen, Zheng Jing saw the emperor looking at the map with his back to him.

Zheng Jing walked forward quickly, stopped ten steps away from the emperor, and pushed the Jinshan Mountain to the Jade Pillar to kneel down to salute.

"My name Zheng Jing pays homage to Your Majesty, long live my emperor."

Zhu Youlang turned around and said softly, "Let's calm."

Zhu Youlang changed his past kindness and said with a solemn expression: "I have heard of Xiaolangyu. It's not entirely your fault for this matter, but you also have unshirkable responsibilities. Do you think what I said makes sense?"

Zhu Youlang made Zheng Jing feel much more comfortable when he got straight to the point.

If the emperor refused to mention this matter for a long time, Zheng Jing would feel embarrassed.

"I know that my crime is true, and what Your Majesty says is true. I bear great responsibility for this matter."

Whether a person can grow depends on whether he can face his mistakes.

Take Zheng Jing as an example. He didn't dare to face it at first, for fear of being scolded by Zhu Youlang for this incident.

But after looking closely, it seems not as difficult as I imagined.

"It's good to know that you're wrong. Japanese pirates can't be eliminated in one day. I can understand that you are eager to make contributions, but when you act next time, you must think carefully about whether you can achieve success in one battle. If it doesn't work, then stand firmly. Your military strength is greater than that of the Japanese pirates, so what else is there to be afraid of? The Japanese pirates should be anxious."

Zhu Youlang taught Zheng Jing earnestly, just like teaching his own children and nephews, and Zheng Jing listened very seriously.

He originally thought that His Majesty the Emperor would be furious at him and scolded him.

But the emperor was gentle and reasonable to him. Although he couldn't help but feel a little blame, it was normal.

Anyone would be angry about this matter. After all, if He Shouyi had not led his troops to arrive in time, 20,000 Ming soldiers would have been starved to death on Xiaolangyu.

Zheng Jing took a deep breath and said, "I have made a big mistake this time, so I would like to ask Your Majesty to punish you."

If you make a mistake, you will be punished, and if you are beaten, you will stand up straight.

This is the truth that Zheng Chenggong taught Zheng Jing.

Although he is the prince of the Zhong prince, he does not want the emperor to protect him because of his identity or out of concern.

As a result, this is easy to arouse criticism. None of the censors is a good-looking lamp.

Secondly, this is not conducive to Zheng Jing's own development.

Overall, it is better to accept the punishment.

At least Zheng Jing will feel more at ease in this way.

Zhu Youlang did not speak out immediately, but stared at Zheng Jing tightly.

He did not expect that Zheng Jing would have the courage to take the initiative to propose punishment.

It is not easy to do this.

"Since that's the case, I will punish you for half a year. What do you think?"

Punishment is not the key, but a formality.

Zhu Youlang raised the board high and gently put it down, which was also because Zheng Jing had a good attitude towards admitting his mistakes and admitted his mistakes in a timely manner.

In this case, Zhu Youlang naturally had no reason to blame Zheng Jing too hard.

"I will receive the punishment."

Thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the Lord.

Zheng Jing would not object to the emperor's punishment.

To put it bluntly, even if the emperor wants him to die now, he has no other choice.

The king told his ministers to die and his ministers had to die. This is an old saying.

It makes sense now.

The emperor only fined him his salary, which was already very kind.

"Since that's the case, this matter is done. Don't keep it in mind, and try to make contributions as soon as possible."

After Zhu Youlang said in a harmonious voice, he signaled Zheng Jing to come to his side.

Seeing this, Zheng Jing hurriedly moved his steps to Zhu Youlang's figure and asked very respectfully: "What are your instructions?"

"Do you have a foundation when you meet Japanese pirates in Fujian and have a very good understanding of the coastal situation?"

After Zhu Youlang came to Hangzhou, he had a relatively comprehensive understanding of the Japanese pirates in Zhejiang. However, his understanding of the Japanese pirates in Fujian was still on paper.

And Fujian's Japanese pirates are not fewer than Zhejiang.

To confirm Zhu Youlang's judgment, he needs to understand the situation as clearly as possible.

"Report to Your Majesty, as Your Majesty said, the Japanese pirates in Fujian have a deep foundation, and they know the situation along the coast of Fujian, so I suspect that they have collusion with local wealthy merchants."

Zheng Jing's words can be said to be in Zhu Youlang's heart.

He had long felt that it was the collusion between the sea merchants and the Japanese pirates that caused the Japanese pirates to look so out of control. After confirmation by He Shouyi and Zheng Jing, he could now make an assertion.
