Daming: Apocalypse of Longevity

Chapter 114 Sending Silver to Beijing
Ma Ying also opened his mouth to ask: "I have to say something more, the money is the emperor's money, Mr. Nian, please don't be confused, and you must hand it over to the emperor. If the emperor is satisfied, you Are you still worried about the benefits without you?”

Seeing that the two of them refused to accept it, Young Shaoqing had no choice but to put the gold ingots in his hands on the table. He listened very seriously to their instructions. Finally, he hurriedly asked: "The great kindness of the two brothers, I don't know how to lower the official position." Why should I repay you?"

Ma Ying and Zhao Kuo hugged him and said, "I just hope that after you get promoted in the future, you can take more care of my two brothers!"

Young Shaoqing immediately returned the gift and vowed: "Brothers, please rest assured. If I, Young Shaoqing, can really take a further step in my official career, I will definitely not forget the great kindness you have shown me today!"

Ma Ying and Zhao Kuo said no more, immediately hugged their fists, said goodbye and left.

The young man did not dare to delay, as this errand was related to his future and destiny, so he packed his luggage that night, dispatched some people, and set out for the capital early the next morning. He sailed day and night along the way. , arrived in the capital only three days later than the secret letter sent back to the capital by Ma Ying and Zhao Kuo.

Zhu Tianqi didn't expect that Yingtian's officials were so efficient. Aren't they all saying that Yingtian's officials were Buddhists? He thought he would have to wait ten days and a half, but since the people had already arrived, he naturally He immediately asked Wang Yuanbao to bring the person over. He was also a little curious about this Yingtian official who worked so quickly.

Young Shaoqing was brought into Qianqing Palace by Wang Yuanbao. As soon as he entered the palace gate, he saw Zhu Tianqi sitting behind the dragon bookcase inside, as if he was looking down at something.

Young Young Qing hurriedly lowered his head, followed Wang Yuanbao into the palace, and when he got close, Wang Yuanbao first called out: "My lord, the householder of Yingtian Mansion, Mr. Young Young, has arrived!"

Young Shaoqing hurriedly knelt down and knelt down in obeisance: "I am a humble minister, Young Shaoqing, and I bow to the Emperor. Your Majesty bows down to you!"

"Get up!" Zhu Tianqi raised his hand, looked at the young man with a smile on his face, and said, "You did a good job on this errand, and I am very satisfied. Tell me yourself, what reward do you want?"

When Young Young Qing heard this, he hurriedly gave a deep salute, and replied: "It is the duty of a humble minister to share the emperor's worries, and a humble minister dare not ask for rewards!"

Zhu Tianqi nodded slightly, and his impression of Young Young Qing improved a bit, so he asked, "Young Young Qing, I heard from Ma Ying and the others that it was you who helped Zhang Guoji and Sun Yuanhua go to Yingtian last time. The line you took?"

"Reporting to your Majesty, it was Wei Chen who introduced Mr. Zhang and Mr. Sun!" Young Shaoqing replied quickly.

Zhu Tianqi then asked: "So, you Yingtian is very open-minded. You should be very familiar with the local businessmen, right?"

When young Shaoqing heard this, he couldn't help being slightly stunned, but just as he hesitated, he suddenly remembered the instructions given to him by Ma Ying and Zhao Kuo, asking him to answer the emperor's questions honestly and not to hide anything. Then he hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, I am indeed very familiar with the local businessmen, and I have more contacts on weekdays."

Zhu Tianqi was a little surprised when he heard this. When other people faced such a problem, they tried their best to clean themselves up and didn't want the emperor to know that they had too many contacts with businessmen. However, this young man seemed Very honest.Therefore, Zhu Tianqi deliberately asked: "Aren't you busy with errands on weekdays? You still have time to interact with businessmen?"

Young young youth did not expect that the emperor would ask such a question, these words sounded a bit like asking a teacher, but now that he had told the truth, it was too late to go back on his word, so he simply was honest to the end, and immediately went to the ground Kneeling and bowing his head, he said: "Please forgive me, the emperor. During my tenure in Yingtian, I had a lot of negligence, but if you want to come to the emperor, you also know that there is really nothing to do when you are an official in Yingtian..."

Seeing the embarrassment of Young Youth explaining to himself there with a bitter face, Zhu Tianqi couldn't help laughing. Although this person is slippery, he is still honest to himself. Zhu Tianqi has decided to give him a try. If this person is available, he will definitely be important in the future. If he is not available, it would not be a pity to kill him.

Zhu Tianqi smiled and waved his hand and said: "Okay, you get up first. You did a good job in escorting Yinliang back to Beijing. I can see that you are a very talented person. A talent like you, It's really a waste to live in a place like Yingtian for your retirement. Since you don't want a reward, how about I arrange some other errands for you?"

When young Shaoqing heard this, his heart suddenly became excited, and his eyes shone instantly. The emperor even said this. If he doesn't seize this opportunity, wouldn't he be a fool?Immediately he kowtowed and said, "It is my honor to be able to share the emperor's worries. If the emperor is willing to give us such an opportunity, we will definitely live up to the emperor's kindness and swear allegiance to the emperor!"

In fact, for the promotion, Young Young Qing did not expect too much before coming here. After all, the main credit for this matter is Ma Ying and Zhao Kuo. Although they gave themselves the matter of showing their faces in front of the emperor, But just escorting some money back to Beijing may not necessarily win the emperor's appreciation.

But I have to say that I am lucky. The emperor actually fell in love with me because of this. I have to say that this is thanks to the instructions given to me by Ma Ying and Zhao Kuo. Young Shaoqing can see that the emperor is interested in me. The change in his attitude was precisely because his answers catered to the holy will. Thinking of this, young Shaoqing was extremely grateful to Ma Ying and Zhao Kuo.

Zhu Tianqi laughed, and said: "It's good if you have this kind of heart, but as long as you serve me faithfully, your life is still yours. If I don't speak, no one will dare to move!" While saying this, Zhu Tianqi waved his finger at Wang Yuanbao, Wang Yuanbao understood, and immediately asked all the maids and eunuchs in the palace to retreat, and he also retreated outside the palace, closing the palace gate.

Zhu Tianqi's words contained murderous intent, which made young young people feel scared. Now all the palace maids and eunuchs have been dismissed by the emperor. Even Wang Yuanbao, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony and concurrently the eunuch holding the pen, also retreated outside the palace. Such an unusual situation made his heart suddenly lift into his throat.

Zhu Tianqi pointed to the chairs on both sides and said, "Sit down!"

Young Shaoqing turned his head slightly and glanced at the chair, but he did not dare to move even half a step. Instead, he hurriedly saluted and said, "I don't dare!"

Young Young Qing is just a fifth-rank official, and generally speaking, he has no chance to meet the Holy Spirit, let alone sitting down to meet the Holy Spirit.

But Zhu Tianqi insisted: "I tell you to sit down and you sit down. Where did all this nonsense come from?"

Young Shaoqing was so frightened that he had no choice but to give a deep salute and said: "I obey the order!" Then he walked carefully to the chair and slowly sat on the edge of the chair. He said he had sat down, but actually It would be better to say that I was walking there, watching how tired I was.
