Chapter 292: Treat as a Guest
The cruise ship moved slowly on the Yellow River, and half a day later, Zhuang Yexiang came to report: "Chief soldier, there is a cruise ship ahead, I wonder if it is the one you are looking for?" ”
"Where, take me out and see?" Mao Wenlong immediately came to the window.
Zhuang Yexiang pointed out the direction for him, Mao Wenlong raised his eyes and looked, and sure enough, there was a cruise ship docked by the river in front of him. But this ship does not have any signs, and for the time being, Mao Wenlong still doesn't know if Chongzhen has arrived.
"Zhuang Yexiang planted a flag to show our identity." Mao Wenlong turned around and ordered.
"Yes." Zhuang Yexiang had doubts on her face, but she didn't say much, but turned around to do something.
The guards on the ship soon showed the flag of Kaifeng City and a large flag with Mao characters under Zhuang Yexiang's drink.
Not long after Mao Wenlong's identity was revealed, the cruise ship opposite also showed the flag of the imperial court.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on Mao Wenlong's face and said to Hong Chengchou beside him: "Do you think Chongzhen will come over by himself or will he let me go later?" ”
Hong Chengchou looked ahead, and said lightly without thinking: "Since the emperor even let you choose the location, he will definitely not care about getting on your ship again, so what do you think?" ”
Mao Wenlong smiled and nodded: "As I thought." ”
The imperial court's cruise ship sent a signal to Mao Wenlong's side, asking to come over. Zhuang Yexiang asked Mao Wenlong for permission and responded to the other party.
The imperial court's pleasure boat soon began to move slowly forward, approaching Mao Wenlong's pleasure boat, and finally the two boats were tightly fitted together.
Mao Wenlong was already leading Hong Chengchou at this moment, waiting on the deck at the bow of the ship, with no guards around.
Wu Chengen looked at Mao Wenlong's side on his boat for a moment, and indeed did not find anything wrong, so he told Chongzhen that he could go over.
Chongzhen didn't take anyone with him in the end, but just came to Mao Wenlong's ship with Wu Chengen.
Mao Wenlong and Chengzuo saw each other, looking at each other, while Wu Chengen and Hong Chengchou were looking at each other.
Mao Wenlong, as the master, can't be rude at this moment, so while looking at Chongzhen, he took the lead in reporting to his family: "Contemptible Mao Wenlong, it's really an honor to see the Son of Heaven today." ”
Chongzhen, who was only in his early thirties, looks similar to a fifty-year-old man, which is consistent with historical facts. Mao Wenlong didn't have any surprises, Chongzhen at this moment was more like a white-faced rich young master.
Chongzhen always had a smile on his face, at this moment he didn't have any hatred for Mao Wenlong, he said generously: "A hero is a young man, you are indeed extraordinary." ”
In the face of such praise from the Son of Heaven, Mao Wenlong was still quite useful, and immediately responded politely: "The ...... Emperor"
Mao Wenlong opened his mouth but suddenly didn't know what to call it, after all, Chongzhen at this moment could not reveal his identity.
"Just call Huang Gongzi." Chongzhen seemed to see Mao Wenlong's embarrassment, and he laughed.
"That's rude."
Mao Wenlong then invited Chongzhen into the houseboat, which was also a room without anyone, and Mao Wenlong and Chongzhen sat opposite each other.
Hong Chengchou and Wu Chengen stayed outside separately and did not let anyone come to disturb them.
Wu Chengen looked at Hong Chengchou quite familiarly, but he couldn't remember who he was for a while, this would have a chance, he opened his mouth and asked with a smile: "I don't know if we have met before, my lord?" ”
Hong Chengchou glanced at Wu Chengen and responded with a chuckle: "Gonggong Wu is polite, the contemptible person is the previous governor of the three sides, Hong Chengchou." ”
Wu Chengen suddenly said: "No wonder our family always thinks adults are familiar, I see." ”
After Hong Chengchou reported his identity, he didn't say much, he was not familiar with Wu Chengen before, and he had no friendship. If he had been an official in the court before, maybe he would have been close to Wu Chengen, the popular man around the emperor, but now, there is no need for this.
Wu Chengen also seemed to see Hong Chengchou's coldness, and he would not do it if he put his hot face on someone's cold ass.
Both of them had their own positions in their hearts, so after just a few small talks, they both fell silent.
Inside the house, after Mao Wenlong and Chongzhen sat down, Mao Wenlong took the lead in speaking: "Huang Gongzi, we Mingren don't talk darkly, and we can't stay here for too long, so it's better to make a long story short." ”
Chongzhen nodded: "Yes, I also mean this, so Mao Gongzi doesn't know how to think about me appointing you as the prince of the opposite sex?" ”
Mao Wenlong shook his head: "Don't hide it from Huang Gongzi, I really have no interest in this prince." ”
The smile on Chongzhen's face suddenly froze: "So you are ready to refuse." ”
Mao Wenlong chuckled: "It can be said that I never thought about being a prince again." Huang Gongzi may not know that when he was in Dongjiang Town before, he resisted Houjin for several years, and never let Tartar step into the Central Plains. ”
Chongzhen's face was cloudy, he seemed to have expected Mao Wenlong to mention the past, and after a pause, he said: "Speaking of this, in fact, I don't know, it is completely that Yuan Chonghuan is in charge of the decision." And now he's getting the punishment he deserves, and I'm ...... myself."
After a pause, Chongzhen continued: "Of course, I also have an unshirkable responsibility, and I will not deny mistakes. I just hope you will think about my reward and don't be too hasty to refuse, it will be good for everyone. ”
Mao Wenlong frowned, he couldn't imagine that Chongzhen would put his posture so low, which was not at all like the performance that an emperor should have.
After careful consideration, Mao Wenlong hesitated and said, "I don't know what Huang Gongzi's conditions are?" ”
A smile flashed on Chongzhen's face again, and Mao Wenlong's hesitation proved that he had been tempted, which was a great progress. Chongzhen immediately said: "It's very simple, just your food." ”
"Grain ......" Mao Wenlong was even more puzzled.
Chongzhen said affirmatively: "Good is food." The Central Plains was in turmoil, and the people rebelled, all of which were caused by natural disasters. And now that there is Huang Taiji of Houjin outside, I don't want to make trouble to the end, and the good Han family will fall into the hands of outsiders, so I can discuss with you within the scope of permission. ”
"And you only need to be responsible for spreading the high-yielding and drought-tolerant food you have in your hands to the whole world, so that the people will no longer go hungry and will not rise up in rebellion. Leave a way to live for the common people in the world, you have this ability now, I hope you will not live up to this kindness. ”
After finishing speaking, Chongzhen secretly looked at Mao Wenlong, he held Mao Wenlong so high, in order to satisfy his vanity, so as to resolve the grudge against the court in his heart.
However, Mao Wenlong didn't seem to appreciate it at all, he still shook his head and said: "For the common people in the world? Huang Gongzi thinks too highly of me Mao Wenlong. ”
