When Zhao Shuangshuang returned to the palace, the entire palace returned to normal.
"Your Majesty."
"Well, are the injuries healed?"
Hu Yunqing was sitting in the lobby, looking at Wu Ma who came in and asked.
"It's no longer a serious problem. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
"Okay, take a few secret guards and go to Shanhaiguan first to establish me as a businessman. I will contact you about what you want to do specifically when I arrive."
Seeing that there was indeed nothing wrong with Wu Ma's body, Hu Yunqing assured him to assign tasks to him.
After listening to Hu Yunqing's instructions, Wu Ma quickly packed his bags and picked three of the twelve secret guards to leave.
"Did you make any moves again?"
Zhao Shuangshuang, who was watering the flowers, saw four secret guards leaving on horseback. Feeling that the wind was about to start again, he hurriedly entered the lobby. Seeing the old god Hu Yunqing reading a book, he hurriedly came to him and asked.
Finding that Hu Yunqing ignored him and just kept reading, Zhao Shuangshuang took the book and left it on the table.
"Well, it's just a plan in advance, what's wrong?"
Seeing the angry look of Zhao Shuangshuang in front of him, Hu Yunqing continued to pick up the book, as if he was not disturbed, and asked Zhao Shuangshuang with some doubts.
"Can you stop fussing about it? We are living a good life now. Isn't it better to just be honest?"
Zhao Shuangshuang grabbed Hu Yunqing's hand and asked.
"I'm living a good life, but I also want to do something by myself, and this is it."
Hu Yunqing, who was reading a book, saw Zhao Shuangshuang grabbing his hand, raised his head and looked into Zhao Shuangshuang's eyes, picked up his book and said.
Zhao Shuangshuang looked at the book in Hu Yunqing's hand and released his hand.
Everyone in the whole government knew that Hu Yunqing had always wanted to build a ship and go to sea, just like when the Ming Dynasty started, and follow Zheng He's example of sailing to the West.
Going to sea is not an easy task. It requires a large number of ships and recruits a lot of crew members. This is a very large expense.
Now everyone in the Ming Dynasty knows that this is almost impossible. After years of war and the corruption of internal officials, the Ming Dynasty has already become a powerful force on the outside.
"Then are you prepared to raise that much money yourself?"
In fact, Zhao Shuangshuang was not stingy, but he knew what Hu Yunqing was thinking, so he wanted to save all the money. I don’t want Hu Yunqing to have such hard work.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Hu Yunqing looked at Zhao Shuangshuang's concerned eyes, held her in his arms and said.
Ten days later, Jiang Jianjun asked everyone in the mansion to pack their luggage and prepare to leave for Shanhaiguan.
"King Dingbei, where are you going so early?"
Just when everyone was preparing to set off, Xiao Hezi led people into the house. Seeing everyone packing their things, he asked Hu Yunqing with a smile.
"I took them to Shanhaiguan, why did Eunuch He have time to come to my place?"
Seeing Xiao Hezi enter the house, Hu Yunqing's expression changed instantly, and he turned his head to one side and asked Xiao Hezi.
"His Majesty asked me to come and see what the prince is doing. His face has been missing for a while."
"Go back and tell Your Majesty that you don't have to worry about me. I'm leaving for Shanhaiguan now."
Hearing that they were sent by Chongzhen, Hu Yunqing sneered, and then said to Xiao Hezi with a smile.
"Will Madam come with you this time?"
Seeing that Zhao Shuangshuang next to Hu Yunqing had also packed up, he asked Hu Yunqing with some confusion.
In Xiao Hezi's opinion, it was just a trip to Shanhaiguan, and he came back in more than a month. There was no need to bring the female family members with him, unless he planned not to come back.
"Do I need to tell you?"
In fact, Hu Yunqing's real plan is to take the people in the mansion directly to Weihai after handling the Shanhaiguan matter, and take a boat directly to the sea.
"Your Majesty, all your ships in Qingdao have been impounded. If you want to go to sea, you'd better tell His Majesty. Your Majesty is not the kind of person to force you to stay."
Xiao Hezi also saw that Hu Yunqing was planning to leave. Before leaving the palace, Chongzhen specifically told him that as long as Hu Yunqing did not plan to return to the capital, he should enter the palace before leaving.
After listening to Xiao Hezi's words, Hu Yunqing froze on the spot. No matter what quarrels Hu Yunqing had with Chongzhen, there was nothing to say about their relationship, otherwise Hu Yunqing would not have been helping Chongzhen.
Thinking that he might not be able to come back for a few years, he didn't know if Huang Taiji would suddenly regret it. What if Huang Taiji failed to fulfill the covenant and directly attacked Shanhaiguan and led his troops into the Central Plains. Then Chongzhen's The results are obvious.
"I'll go with you!"
Hu Yunqing hesitated again and again, but decided to go with Xiao Hezi.
"Yun Qing."
When he heard that Hu Yunqing was going to follow him into the palace, he quickly reached out and grabbed Hu Yunqing's arm.
"It's okay, I'll be right back."
Hu Yunqing gave Zhao Shuangshuang a reassuring look. Although accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, he believed that Chongzhen would not do anything to him.
"Everyone, hurry up and get ready. When the prince comes back, we will go directly to Shanhaiguan."
Looking at Hu Yunqing's leaving figure, Zhao Shuangshuang felt an unspoken worry in his heart. Seeing everyone stop, he quickly gave orders to the others.
"Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"
After following Xiao Hezi into the palace, he came to the main hall. Seeing Chongzhen sitting high on the dragon chair, he quickly knelt on the ground respectfully and said.
"Hey, cousin, why are you ready to leave and why don't you come and say goodbye to your cousin?"
Seeing Hu Yunqing coming, Chongzhen also understood what was going on and said to Hu Yunqing with a wry smile.
"I will still come back. What's the point of saying goodbye?"
"Hahaha, I have allocated a lot of money to your shipbuilding yard. Maybe you can set off next spring."
Listening to Hu Yunqing's answer, Chongzhen laughed with satisfaction.
"Your Majesty, you don't need to spend so much money. I've already done it."
Hu Yunqing said a little embarrassedly after hearing that Chongzhen took the money for him.
"Okay, this money is for your safe return. If you die on the sea outside, I will not send a ship to salvage your body!"
"Hahaha, you, you, you! Sure enough, it's still like this."
After listening to Chongzhen's words, Hu Yunqing couldn't help laughing.
The two of them seemed like good friends they hadn't seen for a long time, which surprised Xiao Hezi who had been beside him since he hadn't seen His Majesty like this for a long time.
The two kept chatting for a long time.
"Okay, it's getting late. Let's take the people and set off."
Chongzhen really didn't want Hu Yunqing to leave, but even if he tried to persuade him to stay, the end result would be the same.
Since the result is the same, it would be better for Song Hu Yunqing to leave openly and happily.
