Wang Chengen was also a little helpless. If he had so many people in Wei Zhongxian's hands now, he would definitely seize this opportunity to show his face.
The current reality is that I have nothing, just these little soldiers and generals. If I encounter a master, I don't know whether to protect Hu Yunqing or let Hu Yunqing protect him.
"Okay, I understand, master."
In the study room.
Chongzhen was reviewing the memorial and saw that the war situation in Gansu had not been optimistic and several counties had been captured. All the officials were beheaded and hung on the city gate.
"You're back. How did you go about the things you told me?"
Chongzhen raised his eyes and saw Xiao Shangzi walking in, and then continued to look at the memorial and asked.
"The former Hong Mansion has now been changed to the Hu Mansion, and the Jin Yiwei troops have been stationed around the Hu Mansion."
Xiao Shangzi reported what he had done to Chongzhen.
"Well, it was done very well. Have you gone to talk to Hu Yunqing?"
After reading the last memorial, Chongzhen leaned on the chair, pinched his eyebrows and asked Xiao Shangzi.
"Master Hu already knows, and I will pick him up to go to court tomorrow."
"Okay, you go down and make arrangements."
Chongzhen, who had been tired for a day, also wanted to rest early and didn't want to talk anymore, so he waved his hand and said to him.
Early the next morning, Xiao Shangzi drove a carriage out of the capital.
I arrived at Hu Yunqing's house and waited for a long time, but no one was there.
"Eunuch Shang, why doesn't Mr. Hu come out?"
Chongzhen attached great importance to Hu Yunqing's safety and specifically asked the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army to lead someone to protect him. The deputy commander waited for a long time and asked Xiao Shangzi with some doubts.
"Dong dong dong! Mr. Hu, are you up?"
Xiao Shangzi thought for a moment and couldn't wait any longer. He knocked on the door and asked softly inside.
"no sound."
Xiao Shangzi put his ear against the door, trying to hear if there was any movement inside, but found that there was no sound inside.
"Dong dong dong!"
Afraid of something happening inside, Xiao Shangzi increased the strength on his hands.
"What are you knocking! Who is it?"
As Xiao Shangzi knocked on the door, a voice finally came out.
"Hey, why are you here?"
Hu Yunqing lazily walked out of the house, rubbing his eyes that were still awake. When he opened the door, he saw Xiao Shangzi standing at the door, with some officers and soldiers beside him, and asked him doubtfully.
"Master Hu, didn't you just wake up?"
Xiao Shangzi asked Hu Yunqing in disbelief when he saw that he was still wearing single clothes.
"Ang, what's wrong? Are my clothes dirty?"
Seeing Xiao Shangzi's surprised look, Hu Yunqing was a little confused, looked down at his clothes and asked.
"My lord, didn't I tell you yesterday? I have to go to court this morning."
Hearing that Hu Yunqing had forgotten everything, Xiao Shangzi asked him anxiously.
"Damn it, if you didn't tell me earlier, I would quickly get dressed now."
"It's too late, Mr. Hu, hurry up and get on the carriage. Official uniforms have been prepared for you in the carriage."
The ink has been stained for such a long time, and it may be too late to put on clothes. Xiao Shangzi quickly pulled Hu Yunqing into the car and said.
The carriage quickly headed towards the palace.
The officials in the main hall arrived early, dressed neatly, waiting for the emperor to arrive.
Chongzhen kept asking the eunuch to check on the situation and wanted to see if Hu Yunqing was here. Thinking that this was his first day in the morning, if he was late, it wouldn't matter whether he punished him or not.
"how's it going?"
Chongzhen looked at the eunuch who had returned and asked him anxiously.
"I didn't see Mr. Hu, not even Eunuch Shang."
Chongzhen couldn't go out anyway unless Hu Yunqing came, so he could only pray in his heart. Xiao Shangzi quickly brought the person.
When arriving in front of the palace, carriages were not allowed to enter the palace and could only park outside.
As soon as the curtain of the carriage was opened, Xiao Shangzi did not faint from anger. He drove the carriage anxiously in front, while Hu Yunqing fell asleep soundly inside.
"Master Hu, don't sleep. You're already late."
Xiao Shangzi couldn't care about Hu Yunqing's identity at this time and pulled him up.
"arrive."
Hu Yunqing still didn't seem to wake up, and got out of the carriage in a daze.
Seeing that the morning court had already begun, Hu Yunqing was unhurriedly adjusting his official uniform, and he directly pulled him and ran inside.
Finally, when I came outside the main hall, I saw that the emperor had not come yet, but the ministers were standing here. I quickly pulled Hu Yunqing to where the Minister of War was standing.
"The Emperor is here!"
After Xiao Shangzi brought the people, Chongzhen also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not too late.
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
All the officials knelt on the ground and shouted in unison.
What shocked Chongzhen and Xiao Shangzi even more was that Hu Yunqing stood still and did not kneel down at all.
"All my dear friends, please live in peace."
Chongzhen pretended not to see it and signaled everyone to get up.
Xiao Shangzi kept winking at Hu Yunqing from the side.
Hu Yunqing had never gotten up so early before, so he still closed his eyes in a daze.
"Well, the whole court suddenly felt full of life, full of young faces."
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask, who is this Minister of War?"
"I also want to know, we were all officials from various ministries before, and I haven't met this man before. How come he is the minister?"
...
Several young people relied on their own abilities to stand here, but they saw an unknown person standing with them, and he was directly the minister.
This simply negated their previous efforts.
Xu Wei also turned around and looked back, wanting to see where the unlucky person was being targeted by everyone.
After seeing the other person's face clearly, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief, thinking that he had seen it wrong.
"This is Hu Yunqing who made the plans to destroy the Jiannu slaves on the border. As well as the plague in the city, Hong Chengchou is the leader of the whole party, and behind the scenes, Mr. Hu is making plans. I don't think his talents are inferior to any of you here. One!"
Chongzhen looked a little ugly. Hu Yunqing was an official who was conferred by himself. He didn't expect so many people to have opinions, and he was a little embarrassed.
Look at these young people and tell them about Hu Yunqing's previous achievements.
After Chongzhen finished speaking, everyone was immediately shocked. They had long heard that there was an expert behind the emperor, but they didn't expect that he was so young when they saw him today.
It was simply beyond their expectations.
"Stand back to your positions, Xiao Shangzi, and tell them the memorial submitted by Gansu."
Seeing that everyone was silent, Chongzhen threw the memorial to Xiao Shangzi and asked Xiao Shangzi to read it to them.
"After listening, what countermeasures do you have?"
After Xiao Shangzi finished speaking, Chongzhen looked around at all the ministers and asked.
