Chapter 519: The Four Zheng Brothers
"I don't need to stop this guy, I want to hear what this kid will say!"
Lu Bu narrowed his eyes, stretched out a hand to stop Li Hong's anger, and said with a smile.
He could see that when Li Ru said the word Zheng's, the expressions of the strong men around him changed.
This discoloration is not the kind of emotion of fear and fear, but more like the kind of awe and respect, even compared to the expression Li Hong made when he saw him just now, it is not too much!
The young people's feelings for Daming are not as obvious as the old people's, and what I need more is the heart of those young people.
He can't let go of any clues about this kind of thing!
"Old Ancestor, since Your Highness has already agreed to me, then I will take the liberty!"
Li Ru reckoned that he was usually straightforward, and when facing Li Hong and the other elders, he was not bad in terms of etiquette, but what he said really made people feel a little helpless.
From the beginning to the end, Lu Bu did not show the slightest dissatisfaction. Instead, he showed a hint of encouragement, indicating that Li Ru could speak out all the thoughts in his heart.
Li Ru got the encouragement and permission, and immediately boldly bowed slightly towards Lu Bu, and then said: "Since your highness is the prince of Ming Dynasty, it is obvious that you know Zheng Zhilong!"
Hearing Li Ru say the name directly, Lu Bu was slightly taken aback, a little surprised, but the faces of the old people next to him became a little ugly.
"Just a traitor pirate, I don't know..."
Li Hong was very dissatisfied and scolded in a low voice.
Lu Bu just glanced at him, making Li Hong shut his mouth completely.
"Although Mr. Zheng was a pirate in the past, he had no choice but to do so. The Zheng family has always acted according to the government's decree. When the court relaxed the sea ban and encouraged trade, it put down the sword and gun to do legitimate business. Once the sea ban was imposed, it took up the sword and gun. Do that costless business!"
"If it wasn't for the imperial court's changing orders, the government orders are messed up, and the Zheng family is probably just a wealthy businessman in the South China Sea! Is the policy of banning the sea just a disaster for the country and the people, and the benefits brought by Wang Baoyin's eunuch's seven voyages to the West?"
Although Li Ru came here hastily before, he was still a little afraid of Lu Bu in his bones. Now he was talking freely, but he forgot the fear and discomfort. Various ills.
Lu Bu couldn't help laughing, at first he thought that Li Ru was reckless, although he had some poems and books in his chest, he was just an idiot.
At this moment, the imperial court had already collapsed, and a large area of Ming Dynasty's territory had been reduced. People were worried. Li Ruyuan didn't know about it in the South China Sea, so he dared to say these words.
Li Ru didn't know that his status in Lu Bu's heart had grown a lot at this time, and then he said loudly: "Now that the Zheng family has returned to the South China Sea because of the court disputes, it is enough to compete with the Ming Dynasty when the court is in decline. It is normal to kill some red-haired ghosts and snatch some red-haired boats!"
"As long as Mr. Zheng loves the people like his son, it is not impossible to establish a foreign country in the South China Sea. From this point alone, His Highness is not as good as choosing Zheng's!"
After Li Ru said this, he suddenly stopped himself. He noticed that Lu Bu did not make any comments towards him from the beginning to the end, nor did he intend to stop himself, nor did he even get angry!
When looking at himself at this moment, Lu Bu was even smiling.
This situation is absolutely abnormal. Li Ru's heart sank and he couldn't continue talking. Instead, he asked Lu Bu with a guilty conscience: "Your Highness, do you think the villain is right or not?"
As a result, Li Ru handed the conversation back to Lu Bu, and Lu Bu couldn't keep silent no matter what.
Lu Bu nodded slightly.
"When it comes to the impact on the South China Sea, this palace is naturally 130% inferior to the Zheng family!"
"However, regardless of the South China Sea or the Zheng family, they are all the people of my Zhu family in the Ming Dynasty. Is it the king's land in the world, and the king's minister on the shore of the land? You have been familiar with various classics and history collections since you were young. With the word Confucianism, don't you understand?"
This sentence instantly made Li Ru blush. If he refuted Lu Bu at this time, he would be refuting all the principles he had learned over the years.
But he was unwilling to admit defeat. His eyes flickered for a moment, and he said loudly: "Your Highness, I am afraid that this is a bit unreasonable. Since we are the people of Daming, why can't we get the care of Daming? In the end, we can only go to the South China Sea to ask for help." Is it true that the people have obligations to the imperial court, but the court has no responsibility to my people and the people?
After Li Ru turned to the question, the eyes of the people around him were shaken, as if they recognized Li Ru's culture very much, and looked at Lu Bu at the same time, "I want to hear how Lu Bu responds!".
