As soon as he heard that Hu Yunqing was leaving, Chongzhen quickly stopped him. Now that the Ming Dynasty had finally started to improve, and now it was time to show off its grand ambitions, and his own think tank was leaving, he really didn't know what to do.
"Cousin, when you talk about the world, has Zheng Chenggong traveled to many countries before?"
After seeing Hu Yunqing calm down, Chongzhen recalled what Hu Yunqing said just now. The word "world" was a bit unfamiliar, and he asked Hu Yunqing out of curiosity.
"You have to talk about it carefully if you take it."
Hearing that his cousin was also curious about this, he became interested and began to tell some things that this dynasty didn't know in a way that Chongzhen could understand.
Chongzhen became more and more excited as he listened. These were things he didn't know at all.
"That's it. When the time comes, a very powerful country will be established, and all foreign enemies will not dare to bully us. Okay, let's stop talking about it today."
At the end of the story, Hu Yunqing looked at Chongzhen's focused eyes and then remembered that this was a feudal society. No matter how much he said, it was useless. He took a sip of wine with some disappointment.
"Cousin, if the emperor wants to invite you to serve as an official in the court, where one person is less than ten thousand people, would you be interested?"
Chongzhen was once again shocked by Hu Yunqing. He originally thought that Hu Yunqing only knew about the Ming Dynasty, but he did not expect that the other party knew everything. How could such a talent be buried.
Although he had been rejected before, it did not hinder Chongzhen's desire to recruit talents.
"If Chongzhen comes to invite me in person, I might consider it."
After listening to his cousin's words, Hu Yunqing also thought about it. He was indeed a little boring now. He didn't look like the time-traveling hero at all, just farming with a hoe.
"I sincerely invite Mr. Hu to enter the court."
Hearing Hu Yunqing relax, Chongzhen also saw the opportunity and stood up directly and said to Hu Yunqing.
"Go away, if you were Chongzhen, I would still be Zhu Yuanzhang."
"you."
Chongzhen did not expect that Hu Yunqing did not believe his sincere invitation and took this opportunity to take advantage of him.
"If you are really Chongzhen, I will not enter the court."
"Why?"
They had already seen the hope of Hu Yunqing assisting them, but suddenly a basin of cold water was poured from their head to the soles of their feet. Some of them did not understand what Hu Yunqing meant.
"If you were Chongzhen, you would have been deceiving me. I will never forgive someone who has deceived me for such a long time."
"No way, I'm not Chongzhen."
He originally wanted to let Hu Yunqing assist him, but now he can only do nothing. Chongzhen decided to continue to be Hu Yunqing's cousin.
In order to avoid any discord between friends, it is best to keep things as they are now.
"By the way, Chongzhen still needs food. Now the food has been put into the warehouse. If he wants it, he should get the money as soon as possible. If he doesn't, I will sell the food quickly."
Hu Yunqing, who was just talking casually, found that his cousin was a little abnormal. He sat in a chair and stared blankly. He patted Chongzhen and asked him.
"Money has been tight in the DPRK recently. Even though the Fan family was ransacked a while ago, it was mostly used to check for deficiencies and make up for the leaks. It is impossible to spend such a large amount of money to buy food."
Chongzhen, who came back to his senses, came today for this very reason, and said to Hu Yunqing with a melancholy look on his face.
"Oh, I won't give it away then."
Hearing that Chongzhen had no money at all, why did he bother to talk to the court and said directly to Chongzhen.
"These are all negotiable. The food will be provided first for emergencies. As long as the court has money, it will be returned to you as soon as possible. Your Majesty has already said that he will give you a certificate. I will never rely on you for this food."
"Humph, let's forget it."
If someone else said this, Hu Yunqing might believe it. He, Hu Yunqing, would be the fool to believe Chongzhen's nonsense.
If Ming Dynasty dies after a while, who will I ask for this bad debt? I just refused.
"Okay, Your Majesty knows you won't agree. You can sell the grain. After you sell it, you must tell who you sold it to."
"This Chongzhen has really become smarter and knows how to keep an eye out."
Hearing his cousin's words, Hu Yunqing couldn't help but smile and said.
"Okay, I agreed. You can go back and talk to him."
"Okay, it's getting late, so I'll leave first."
Seeing that it was getting late, he had to go back to the palace, and there was an early morning court tomorrow, so he really couldn't stay too late.
"Okay, don't forget my meat next time."
After being delivered to the door, watching Hu Yunqing walking towards the outside of the village alone, Hu Yunqing reminded Chongzhen of something very important.
Chongzhen smiled bitterly and raised his hand to wave without looking back.
"His Majesty!"
When Chongzhen arrived at the carriage outside the village, Xu Wei and Wang Ke, who had been waiting for him, knelt down and said.
"What are you two doing there?"
Chongzhen looked at the two people kneeling on the ground coldly and asked, without any intention of letting them get up.
"Your Majesty, the general and I happened by chance. We just wanted to see what Hu Yunqing was doing, so Hu Yunqing invited us to his home for dinner."
Wang Ke was the first to speak to Chongzhen.
"Fart! Think I'm a three-year-old!"
Chongzhen kicked Wang Ke over, then kicked him twice in anger and yelled.
"Your Majesty, actually it is."
Xu Wei, who was kneeling beside him, couldn't stand it anymore. Wang Ke was also a general who followed him in the north and south, and wanted to tell the truth of the matter.
"Your Majesty, I told the general that Hu Yunqing has a problem, and I want to check his background. I didn't expect to see your Majesty."
Wang Ke stood up in pain and quickly took all the blame on himself.
"You are a good general. This incident will not happen again. If something like this happens again, be careful with your heads!"
Hu Yunqing was very important to him. The fewer court officials he had contact with, the better. If Hu Yunqing had discovered Xu Wei's true identity that day, with Hu Yunqing's intelligence, he would have followed the clues to find out his identity.
No matter what you do at that time, it will be irreversible.
"According to the order."
After hearing this, Xu Wei and Wang Ke were both frightened. They didn't expect that as Wei Zhongxian said, he was really a big shot that they couldn't afford to offend.
Chongzhen was also very angry, tossed his sleeves, got on the carriage and left.
Only two people were left kneeling on the ground. After the carriage went far away, Wang Ke fell directly to the ground.
"Wang Ke, are you okay?"
Xu Wei directly helped Wang Ke up and asked when he saw that the other party looked a little uncomfortable.
"It's okay, it's just that His Majesty's kicks are really hard."
Chongzhen showed no mercy and directly touched Wang Ke's weak ribs with several kicks. With a simple effort, Wang Ke could be in unbearable pain.
It is also a punishment for Wang Ke for lying.
