If Wang Hu hadn't mentioned this matter again now, Hu Yunqing would have forgotten it and didn't take it to heart at all, so there would be no blame.
"Your Majesty, I won't bother you anymore. I'll just take the first step."
Hearing that the prince no longer cared, the knot that had always existed in Wang Hu's heart was finally resolved, and he was happy to leave.
"General Wang, please wait a moment."
Just when Wang Hu was about to leave, he heard the prince calling him. Wang Hu's originally smiling face turned bitter at the moment.
"My lord, do you have any other orders? Even if I, Wang Hu, have to go up a mountain of swords and into a sea of fire, I will never give up!"
Now Wang Hu also understands that the most trustworthy person in the entire Ming Dynasty is the Dingbei King in front of him. At the age of more than 20 years old, he is already the Dingbei King of the Ming Dynasty.
This king with a different surname is not so easy to obtain, which also shows that the prince in front of you is the most trusted by His Majesty.
For such a person, Wang Hu sacrificed his life for him, and he also sacrificed his life for the court in disguise.
In fact, Wang Hu thought so in his heart to comfort himself. Wang Hu's identity was a border soldier and he could not become someone else's personal property.
"Isn't this against the rules?"
Hearing Wang Hu's words in front of him, Hu Yunqing raised his head in surprise, looked into Wang Hu's eyes, and found that the other person did not seem to be joking.
"Is this against the rules? I saw clearly in the military camp that they are all a group of people who only seek their own interests. Only the prince is the one who does great things for the country."
"Okay, okay, has anything happened at the military camp and border gate recently?"
After Wang Hu's praise, Hu Yunqing was still a little embarrassed. Thinking that he was making money to build ships, his face instantly became a little ashamed.
"Nothing happened. Just now, there are many businessmen coming here at the border. They all heard about the trade with foreign countries and want to come here to make money."
"Your Majesty, a businessman is outside asking to see you!"
While Wang Hu and Hu Yunqing were talking, Han Kedi walked into the lobby and said.
"Businessman? The prince is never seen, let him leave!"
Before Hu Yunqing could finish speaking, Huan on the side spoke.
"Hey, bring him in and let me take a look."
"As you command!"
Han Kedi turned around and left the lobby. Wang Hu, who was standing in the lobby, looked a little confused. He was praising Hu Yunqing just now and now he was meeting the businessman. He touched the right side of his face and felt a little bit stung.
"The common man Ma Shang meets the prince!"
A man wearing silk walked into the lobby and said with his hands raised.
"Ma Shang, um, sit down."
Hu Yunqing looked at the merchant who came in, who was his twelve secret guards.
"Recently, I want to find someone from here to take charge of the transaction between Ming Dynasty and Jian Nu. I wonder if you have the strength?"
Ma Shang's arrival this time was not a coincidence, nor was Wang Hu's arrival. Everything was within Hu Yunqing's plan.
If I directly let people manage Shanhaiguan, it will cause dissatisfaction among many people. In order to cause unnecessary trouble, I can only put on a good show in front of the people of the world.
And this viewer is Wang Hu of the border army, otherwise a small general would not be noticed by Hu Yunqing.
"Your Majesty, isn't this a bit hasty?"
After hearing Hu Yunqing's words, Wang Hu also trembled in his heart. If he chose a businessman, he would have to fill up the entire pot.
Now in the city near Shanhaiguan, there are dozens of merchants from all over the Ming Dynasty, all trying to make a fortune from it. If King Dingbei said it, there will definitely be chaos here.
Thinking that King Dingbei hadn't thought of it, he quickly raised his doubts.
"Is it rash? When I talked to the other party before, the other party only said that they would cooperate with one of our businessmen. They were afraid that we would play tricks. Except for the people I sent, they would not allow anyone else to leave."
Of course Hu Yunqing knew what he was talking about. No matter who he was, he would be shocked and said to Wang Hu with a sneer.
"This, huh."
After listening to Hu Yunqing's words, Wang Hu felt that there was nothing he could do. The result would be the same anyway, so he looked at Ma Shang.
"Don't worry, I, Ma Shanbi, can't say anything. We still have a certain level of strength, and we must focus on the country."
Ma Shang pretended to be excited and knelt on the ground, raised his hands and said to Hu Yunqing.
"Really? How do I know what you say is true?"
........
After some discussion, Ma Shang was taken away from the palace by Han Kedi.
"Wang Hu, have you heard all these words?"
After Ma Shang left, Hu Yunqing looked at Wang Hu next to him coldly and asked.
"I heard it, no, no, no, I didn't hear it."
Wang Hu didn't even think about it and directly answered Hu Yunqing's words. After he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong and quickly waved his hands and said.
I was listening to the conversation between the two of them just now. The more I listened, the more sweat started to form on my back, but I was very confused and didn't understand why I was allowed to stay and listen.
"If you hear it, you hear it; if you don't hear it, you don't hear it!"
Hu Yunqing stood up and looked at Wang Hu with stern eyes, as if the next moment Wang Hu said something wrong, he would be killed by Hu Yunqing.
"It's all up to the prince! It's all done by the prince!"
Wang Hu stood there, desperately thinking of solutions in his mind.
Then he knelt down, put his head on the ground and said.
"Haha, what are you doing? You fight on the battlefield for the country, and I also take risks for the country. Logically speaking, we are a group of people."
Seeing that Wang Hu was also aware of current affairs, he quickly helped him up with a smile.
"From now on, it's up to you to help keep an eye on Ma Shang. I won't be here in Shanhaiguan all the time."
Another purpose this time was to find a backer for Ma Shang. In the Shanhaiguan military camp, Hu Yunqing thought about it and found that only Wang Hu was the most suitable.
Only Wang Hu has no other thoughts. As long as he is sure of something, he will not change it easily. Everyone else has their own agenda. Even the generals Yuan Chonghuan and Hu Yunqing cannot believe it.
Originally, Hu Yunqing thought that having saved Yuan Chonghuan's life, Yuan Chonghuan would be grateful to him. Indeed, in the days that followed, he really did not dare to have any thoughts.
Unexpectedly, returning to Shanhaiguan was like a dragon lurking into the abyss, just like the last time Wang Hu sent troops and Yuan Chonghua deliberately failed to report. It also shows that Yuan Chonghuan has other ideas.
"Your Majesty, I can still tell this clearly. The businessman just now is also working for Ming Dynasty. In terms of safety, I can guarantee that there will be no problem."
Listen, asking yourself to protect some caravans is a trivial matter for Wang Hu. On the border of Shanhaiguan, no one dares not to give him some face.
Of course, in addition to General Yuan Chonghuan, there is also Wu Sangui who is at the same level as him.
"Okay, you go down first."
Hu Yunqing, who had achieved his goal, was very satisfied when he saw Wang Hu. It was getting late and he had other things to do, so he couldn't keep chatting with Wang Hu.
"I will retire at the end!"
