"Cousin, I think the emperor must have been deceived before, otherwise it wouldn't be like this."
Chongzhen quickly defended himself so as not to leave a bad impression on his cousin.
When the time comes, being honest will prove that it was not his fault.
"That being said, your talkativeness has also caused me a lot of trouble."
Hu Yunqing raised his head and took a sip of wine, already feeling tipsy.
"Where do you start talking about this?"
When Chongzhen heard this, he was a little confused. After all, he should be happy to give his cousin a promotion.
"Why do you think Hong Shijie came to see me?"
Hu Yunqing sneered, then put down his wine glass and told the story of the cause and effect.
The Hong family must have known from this that he was the one who made the plans. In this deep palace compound, Shanxi merchants were also everywhere.
"They are so brave!"
When Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but slap the table and shouted, "How dare you use your hands like this to deceive the emperor! These civil servants are simply hateful!"
"Why are you so excited? I didn't catch you."
Hu Yunqing said angrily.
They dare...
Chongzhen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He was afraid that his legs would weaken before he even made a move.
"Besides, I, a member of the household department, want to do business with the emperor in the end. I don't have this intention either. The emperor is suspicious and likes to be suspicious, and he may lose his head one day."
Hu Yunqing suddenly felt a little irritable. He also wanted to take the opportunity to run away from the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't expect that the emperor would directly bind him.
"Master Hu, please don't misunderstand me."
Hearing this, Wang Chengen hurriedly stepped forward to pour the wine, "The member of the household department is just a sinecure, just for doing business for Mr. Hu, and there is no need to see the emperor at all. Furthermore, with your merits, if you were not the emperor in the first place, If you appreciate him, how can you give him a title?"
"Based on this, Your Majesty has great faith in you! You will definitely be rewarded continuously in the future. Don't misunderstand me, sir! That is Your Majesty's sincerity towards you."
As soon as these words came out, Chongzhen was stunned. Good guy, this flattery is perfect.
He suddenly felt lucky that he should take this guy with him from now on.
"My dear brother, it's a pity that your butler doesn't go to Tianjin Wei to talk about cross talk."
Hu Yunqing looked at the wine in the glass, took another sip immediately, and couldn't help laughing.
"Cousin, I think what he said is right. Your Majesty is definitely not the kind of person who would kill someone else, not to mention you have such great achievements."
Chongzhen nodded quickly, then picked up the cup and asked, "I forgot, you told me before that you had a business to do with the emperor. What kind of business is this?"
To be honest, now that the treasury is empty, he really wants to make more money.
"this……"
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
Just when Hu Yunqing was about to speak, Yajian suddenly remembered the violent knocking on the door.
"Open the door! People inside hurry up and open the door! If you don't open the door, we will break in."
Then a shouting sound was heard.
"What exactly is going on!"
Chongzhen suddenly felt unhappy. He slapped the table and shouted, "Didn't I tell you not to allow anyone to disturb you? What are those people outside doing? Get out!"
"Slave, go right away..."
Wang Chengen was also very angry. He had already told the shopkeeper, who else could be so short-sighted?
"Step aside!"
The moment he opened the door, several soldiers rushed in.
"Old boy, you don't have fucking ears! Why don't you open the door when the military camp is doing business?"
The leader was a lieutenant general. He picked up Wang Chengen's collar and shouted, "Do you believe I will kill you later?"
"You...you are so brave!"
Wang Chengen was also confused. He didn't expect soldiers to rush in and act so boldly. You must know that the emperor is sitting here!
Do these guys want to rebel? To act like this is simply lawless!
But Chongzhen and Hu Yunqing sitting in the back were stunned for a moment?
When the emperor turned to look at the soldiers, he couldn't help but frown.
Which military camp is this soldier from?
"Oh, you guys taught me a lesson!"
The deputy general sneered. Of course, they had never seen the emperor or the eunuch. They couldn't help laughing, "I'm telling you, I'm just following orders now! I won't argue with you for now. I'll deal with you later." !”
After saying that, he pushed Wang Chengen aside!
"Catch this guy, and don't let that guy go! I think these people are in the same group, and they are all rebels! Don't let them run away!"
He pointed at Hu Yunqing and Chongzhen and shouted sharply.
"You are so brave!"
Wang Chengen was dumbfounded when he saw this scene. He wanted to arrest the emperor, but also said that the emperor was a traitor?
How can there be any reason to reflect on oneself?
There is also the fear that these brainless soldiers really hurt the emperor, and then his sin will be great.
"Which battalion are you from! Call your captain! Where are the generals and soldiers above you! Who told you to act without authorization?"
He quickly rushed to the emperor and shouted sharply.
On the other hand, Hu Yunqing looked calm, without even thinking, it must have been the Hong family who came for him again.
These people are really evil, and it seems they must take action in advance.
"I didn't expect you knew quite a lot."
The deputy general sneered, "My boss is the traveling general Li Shiwen. He is outside now and can see you at any time! Why are you talking so much to rebels like you? Come on, take it down!"
"Li Shiwen, why don't you come in!"
Chongzhen was almost furious at this time. Without the Ministry of War and his orders, someone dared to mobilize the army without authorization. Is this a rebellion?
"Who is..."
Li Shiwen was originally unwilling to show up. After all, mobilizing troops without authorization would cause big trouble.
But when he heard the voice, he felt familiar, so he couldn't help but walk in.
However, when he saw Wang Chengen, he was stunned.
"King...Prince..."
"What? You don't recognize me anymore, General Li. We had a drink together last time! Or are you saying that my status as a housekeeper is too low?"
Wang Chengen quickly winked and signaled to the emperor behind him.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
"Your Majesty!"
Li Shiwen was so frightened that he almost peed his pants. How could he have imagined that the emperor would appear here! And he was still with Qian Qianyi, the rebel!
"General Li, after all, I am also a member of the Ministry of Industry. Although I have no real power in my hands, what do you mean? Arrest me as a traitor? If you don't explain it clearly to me, be careful that I will report it to Eunuch Wei! Come here! You will feel better now!"
Chongzhen wanted to step forward and give Li Shiwen a slap in the face, but he still held back.
