"Master Hu, I am Jin Yiwei Xiao Yi, and I am responsible for your safety. If you have any questions, you can tell me."
"Okay, okay, this house is too big. If I were alone, I would be really scared."
Hu Yunqing saw that there was actually a hundred households protecting him, and seeing that there were maids and servants in the house, he finally felt what it felt like to be a rich man.
"Master Hu has also soared into the sky! His Majesty has just assigned you such a house as an official in the court. This is his great love for you!"
Before Xiao Yi came, he had heard some things about Hu Yunqing from the governor Wei Zhongxian. He was simply a celebrity around the emperor, and his safety could not be ignored.
I was also secretly happy that I had followed a big shot, which would also be helpful to me in the future.
"Wait, what did you just say?"
Hu Yunqing, who was sitting happily on the chair, suddenly felt something was wrong and looked at Xiao Yi and asked.
"This is your majesty's great love for you."
Looking at Hu Yunqing who suddenly lost his smile, Xiao Yi didn't know what he said was wrong, so he said it again.
"The previous sentence."
"The house assigned to you by His Majesty. What's wrong with this sentence?"
Xiao Yi recalled it and repeated what he said before. I still don’t understand where I went wrong.
"Does every minister have this house?"
"no."
"Doesn't it mean that officials don't have to buy it, and the court will buy it?"
"That's right."
When he heard that it was indeed what he thought, Hu Yunqing realized that he had been fooled and ran out anxiously.
Xiao Yi didn't know what happened, but knew that his mission was to protect Hu Yunqing, so he quickly followed behind.
"It's over! Chongzhen, Chongzhen! You are so cruel!"
Hu Yunqing didn't expect that when he first met Chongzhen, he called him stupid, but he didn't expect that he would fool him twice.
Unexpectedly, all of his food and land were stolen by Chongzhen. He had cultivated them for a year and harvested them himself. Unexpectedly, they all made wedding clothes for Chongzhen.
"My lord, please be careful what you say! If someone hears it and your Majesty is stabbed, it will be detrimental to your Majesty."
Xiao Yi didn't know what happened to Hu Yunqing, but in Ming Dynasty's territory, anyone who dared to insult the emperor would have someone record it and send it to the emperor, and Hu Yunqing would be finished.
"Hey, Chongzhen, you bastard!"
After taking a look at Xiao Yi, Hu Yunqing didn't care so much, looked directly at the sky and cursed.
"grown ups."
I thought Hu Yunqing would go back, but he didn't expect to curse the emperor directly at the door of the mansion, which shocked Xiao Yi.
As if nothing happened, Hu Yunqing felt much better after shouting and strode back to the house.
Xiao Yi, who was standing behind, was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, finally realizing that he had taken on a hard job.
On the other side, Chongzhen was in a good mood, having gained so much food and fertile land.
"Your Majesty, there is news from Jin Yiwei that Mr. Hu cursed you in front of your home."
Soon the palace received the news, and Xiao Shangzi reported to Chongzhenhui with the news he received.
"what else?"
When he heard Hu Yunqing scolding him in the street, Chongzhen was not angry, but was curious about what he had done.
"Except for cursing, he didn't say anything and went back to the house directly."
Xiao Shangzi saw nothing else written on the booklet.
"Whatever, go and collect all the food for me. It will be used as food for the army when it sets off."
If he had been cheated, he might have been even more angry. As for Hu Yunqing, he would ignore it for the time being. The main thing now was the granary, which needed to transport the food quickly.
"Okay, I'll go to the West Factory now and let them transport all the food."
"By the way, how's it going at the West Factory?"
I heard Xiao Shangzi mentioning Xichang. I haven't seen Wang Chengen for a long time recently. I don't know what the latter is doing now.
"Wang Du is rectifying the West Factory. The talents within the West Factory are withering, and most of the talents have been lost."
Xiao Shangzi also talked about the difficulties Xichang is facing now.
"Okay, you go down and make arrangements."
Chongzhen didn't want to care about these things. He just wanted Xiao Shangzi to decide who to use and who not to use. If he had to nod his head for everything, he would be exhausted.
Xiao Shangzi came to Xichang happily. Seeing that the whole Xichang was looking a little brighter and everyone was in high spirits, he went straight to Wang Chengen.
"Master, Your Majesty asked the people from the West Factory to quickly go to the granary built by Mr. Hu and move all the grain there to the treasury."
Due to the urgency of the matter, Xiao Shangzi didn't have time to reminisce with his master, so he directly stated the purpose of his visit.
"Master Hu's granary is his treasure. Does Master Hu know that he is doing this?"
Wang Chengen, who became the governor of Xichang, became more and more timid. Afraid of offending the powerful officials in the DPRK.
"Master, don't worry so much. You are the sharp blade in the Emperor's hand. Just stab where His Majesty points."
Xiao Shangzi also noticed his master's concerns and said to him anxiously.
"Yes, since I became the Governor, I have indeed been walking on thin ice."
"Someone, let me go!"
After listening to Xiao Shangzi's words, Wang Chengen also figured out that he could just do whatever the emperor asked him to do.
After figuring it out, he took his subordinates directly and set off from the West Factory.
"Where is this?"
Yuan Chonghuan, who had woken up in the imperial prison, looked at the layout around him, touched his head and asked the people next to him.
"General Yuan, you finally woke up. This is the prison! You were going to leave with Mr. Hu, but unexpectedly you fainted. We quickly treated you. Fortunately, you finally woke up. Otherwise we But that’s troublesome.”
The doctor checked Yuan Chonghuan's body again and felt relieved after confirming that there was nothing wrong.
"Where is Mr. Hu? I want to find him."
Yuan Chonghuan finally recalled his memories before he fell into coma and knew that it was an adult named Hu who saved him.
The reason why His Majesty let him go was because he wanted to make a meritorious deed for himself. The person who followed Mr. Hu was still there to escort him. He was afraid that the other party might have already left, so he had to leave in a hurry.
"Don't worry, Mr. Hu will go on the expedition the day after tomorrow. He said he won't force you, and nothing will happen if you don't go. He can protect you once in front of the emperor, and he can protect you a second time. If you want to go If so, just wait at the west city gate the day after tomorrow."
Just when Yuan Chonghuan was about to leave, Song Qingsong came to the door, blocked Yuan Chonghuan's way, and expressed to Yuan Chonghuan exactly what Hu Yunqing told him.
"Understood, you need to get in good health now so that you can help. Otherwise, even if you are allowed to go, it will only be a hindrance."
