said that when Zhao Junchen returned home in a sedan chair, Huang Yourong's mansion also ushered in an angel who announced the decree.
After learning that he had been appointed as the minister of the Qincha and was going to go to Nanzhili to investigate Su Changyi on behalf of the Deqing Emperor and the imperial court center, and by the way, he would also participate in the establishment ceremony of the "United Boat Trip" held by the Hui merchants, Huang Yourong first felt incredible, like a dream, and then was ecstatic.
Huang Yourong is not a stupid person, in fact, even if he is retired, he has not lost the most basic vision judgment, so he knows very well that whether it is investigating and arresting Su Changyi or participating in the establishment ceremony of "United Boat Company", it is all a big fat difference that makes people blush!
Su Changyi's huge family property accumulated by corruption and bribery for many years is definitely an astronomical amount, as long as he moves his hands and feet a little when investigating or raiding his home, he can reap great benefits, and the establishment ceremony of the "United Ship Company" also has countless benefits, you must know that the "United Ship Company" is about to monopolize the shipping business of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the Yangtze River waterway, and there are a large number of rich Hui businessmen who are rivaling the country to join, Huang Yourong represents the imperial court to participate in the establishment ceremony, as long as he moves a little thought, It's easy to get a piece of the pie in this money-making business.
Originally, in order to be able to get out of the temple, Huang Yourong had given most of his family wealth accumulated over the decades to Emperor Deqing, and now a lifetime of hard work ended up empty-handed, both power and wealth have been lost, Huang Yourong's heart is naturally a little discouraged, but at this time, it was suddenly a turn of the peak, and the two big fat differences fell on his head without warning, Huang Yourong's mood was naturally excited and happy, and there were some unbelievable.
You must know that even if Huang Yourong was still an old man, he would be greedy when he saw these two fat differences, let alone now.
However, after all, Huang Yourong is a former elder, and he has experienced ups and downs recently, and in addition to being happy and excited, he still barely maintained a trace of sanity after all, and always felt that this matter was a little weird, so he had to decide to find out the details of the matter first, otherwise he would be taken advantage of again.
After stuffing a silver ticket to the eunuch who announced the decree, Huang Yourong asked: "I also want to ask this father-in-law, the old man is now a retired minister, why did His Majesty let the old man take the position of the Qin cha?" There should be quite a few ministers in the DPRK who are qualified to serve as ministers. Could it be that no one will fight for this errand? ”
The eunuch who announced the decree glanced at the amount of the silver ticket in his hand, and suddenly smiled even more, and did not hide anything, and explained to Huang Yourong: "Huang Pavilion Elder, you will be appointed by Your Majesty as the Minister of the Imperial Mission, speaking of which, I would like to thank Zhao Junchen and Lord Zhao for their strong support, there are indeed many people fighting for this position, and even several cabinet elders have expressed their positions, but Lord Zhao strongly recommends you in front of His Majesty, so this errand will fall into your hands." ”
Then, the eunuch told Huang Yourong in detail about today's court meeting.
After hearing the eunuch's explanation, Huang Yourong felt incredible at first, but then his face was full of deep thought.

After Huang Yourong sent the eunuch out of the mansion, he was not in a hurry to return to the mansion, and he was still contemplative when he stood at the door of the mansion.
At this time, Huang Yourong had already retired and was about to return to his hometown, so he had dismissed most of the servants and maids in the house, and there were only a few old people left in the house who followed Huang Yourong, and he could no longer see the majesty of his former support.
Among them, the housekeeper Huang An has been following Huang Yourong for decades, and has always been loyal to Huang Yourong, and now he is still following Huang Yourong's side, and plans to follow Huang Yourong back to his hometown in Nanzhili in the future.
However, after seeing Huang Yourong send away the eunuch who announced the decree, he had been standing at the door in a daze, Huang An thought that Huang Yourong was so happy that he forgot the rules, and hurriedly reminded: "Master, according to the rules, you should go to the palace as soon as possible to receive the decree and thank you, but you can't delay." ”
After hearing Huang An's reminder, Huang Yourong came back to his senses, but he slowly shook his head and softly denied Huang An's suggestion: "Today's morning court lasted for more than three hours, and now it has just ended, Your Majesty needs to rest for a while, if I choose to go to thank you at this time, it will cause Your Majesty to be unhappy, it is better to wait until Your Majesty's lunch break and then go to thank You." ”
Speaking of this, Huang Yourong's old eyes narrowed, and he said, "However, taking advantage of this gap, I need to go and see another person first." ”
"Another person? Who is the master? Huang An was stunned for a moment and asked rhetorically.
Huang Yourong said slowly in a very complicated tone: "Zhao Junchen! ”
After speaking, Huang Yourong raised his hand and waved, as if he had finally made up some determination, and ordered: "Prepare a sedan chair and go to Zhao's mansion!" ”

When Huang Yourong arrived at Zhao's Mansion in a sedan chair, he just sent someone to send a name card to the Zhao Mansion's gatehouse, and he didn't wait too long before seeing the main gate of Zhao's Mansion open, and Zhao Junchen personally went out of the mansion to greet him.
"Senior Huang suddenly visited, and the mansion is really full of brilliance! I haven't seen him for a few days, is Senior Huang still healthy? ”
After seeing Huang Yourong from afar, Zhao Junchen had already taken the initiative to give up his hand and greet him.
Seeing Zhao Junchen greet him in person, Huang Yourong also put on a smiling face, and also arched his hand, saying: "After the old man received the holy decree, he came in a hurry, didn't let Lord Zhao wait for you, right?" ”
Listening to Huang Yourong's meaning, it seems that Zhao Junchen has been waiting for him to appear.
Regarding Huang Yourong's hint, Zhao Junchen just smiled lightly, and did not deny it, but just came to Huang Yourong's side, then raised his hand sideways, and said: "Where and where, I didn't wait too long, in fact, Senior Huang came early, and the banquet in the house has not yet been prepared, I'm afraid Senior Huang will have to wait for a while, and you and I will be able to drink and talk." ”
Huang Yourong replied with a smile: "No hurry, no hurry." ”
Then, under the personal leadership of Zhao Junchen, Huang Yourong entered the Zhao Mansion, and when the two walked side by side, the atmosphere was harmonious, as if they were close friends, and it was completely impossible to see that the two were once political enemies.
After the two came to the living room of the Zhao Mansion, Huang Yourong raised his eyes and found that there was another "Zhao Party" official standing aside waiting for him, but it was Gu Quan, the left of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
After seeing Gu Quan, Huang Yourong's old eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of essence flashed in his eyes.
After Gu Quan saluted Huang Yourong, Zhao Junchen and Huang Yourong sat on the left and right sides of the main seat, while Gu Quan sat in the guest seat.
Then, after the Zhao Mansion served fragrant tea to the three of them, they withdrew from the living room one after another, and suddenly only Zhao Junchen, Huang Yourong and Gu Quan were left in the living room of the Zhao Mansion.
Seeing that there were no idlers around, Huang Yourong did not continue to be polite, took the initiative to talk about business, and said slowly: "Lao Yu came to visit Lord Zhao this time to express his gratitude to you, Lord Zhao, if it weren't for Lord Zhao, I'm afraid this errand would not have been Lao Yu's turn anyway." But ......"
Speaking of this, Huang Yourong changed his words, looked at Zhao Junchen with blazing eyes, and said: "Lord Zhao is suddenly so kind, but it makes the old man a little uncomfortable. ”
