Chapter 035: Straight to the point
"Your Majesty, when you were in school, were you also punished for not taking this slogan seriously?" The imperial officials on the stern of the Sea King were somewhat reserved, and they didn't shout or sing, but this atmosphere inevitably affected them, and even the calmest Yi Yi couldn't help but ask Hong Jinhe a more personal question. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
“…… I, Sai Fei and my sister have all been punished for a variety of reasons. He said that my sister shouted too loudly and laughed, not serious enough; Saying that the shouting of me and Saifei was too quiet, it was perfunctory, and we had to be punished. Only Geya is more well-behaved, and she shouts seriously and crisply every time. My mother said that he was a two-hundred-and-five, and he couldn't get rid of these problems when he was eighty years old. It was the first time that Hong Jinhe had seen his father being praised by so many people at the same time, and he still looked so useful, and he didn't blush at all. I thought he was just playing with children at school, but now it doesn't seem to be like that at all, that's his nature.
"Hahaha...... I'm so much more balanced! You should ask Compassion, when we were in school, he also made a little quotation that asked us to recite it aloud three times a day in the morning, noon and evening, and he had to recite it in his absence. Yi Yi rarely smiled so brightly, thinking of his childhood and youth, although he was a little silly, he was really happy.
"Why didn't it continue after that?" It was the first time that Hong Jinhe had heard of any other quotations in the navigation school, and he was very curious.
"His Majesty later canceled it himself, and he said that it was disgusting to hear too much, and he was really a weirdo." Yi Yi didn't know many of Hong Tao's thoughts, those things didn't make sense at all, and he didn't know why Hong Tao did it.
"Let's go, I'm really a little afraid to see him, how do you think I should meet him? Shake hands? Take a bow? "It is said that people are timid, and sometimes people are not very comfortable when they are close, and Hongjinhe is a bit of this state. When Hong Tao didn't come back, he complained, but now that he's back, he thinks it's better not to come back.
"To be honest, I don't know how to meet, let's see the move, I guess Your Majesty won't be too embarrassed for us." Yi Yi and Hong Jinhe have the same question, this old emperor is notoriously broken-mouthed, ignoring the three points, and can only pray that he is not in the state today.
It's a pity that God didn't hear Yiyi's prayer, and the Hongtao people didn't get on the boat yet, so they gave the people on the boat a problem. He didn't take the gangway, but had to climb up along the rope net, which made Hong Jinhe, Yiyi and others who were waiting at the gangway empty, and turned the meeting that had prepared all kinds of emotions into the same as a chance encounter.
"Xiaohe, Daddy is here! Hey, hey, hey...... Miscalculated! Oops...... Quick, help your father, I still have a burden underneath, help me pull him up. "After all, it's almost sixty people, and it's not easy to climb three stories along the wet hull of a ship with an outward drift angle on a constantly bumpy and shaking rope net. As soon as his head poked out of the side of the ship, Hong Tao grabbed the side of the boat with both hands, and he didn't even have the strength to come up. But I can't admit that I'm bored, so I have to use Wen Nan, who is hanging on the rope net, as a disguise.
"You, why are you doing this......" Hong Tao's performance made Hong Jinhe cry and laugh, and he couldn't remember the words he had prepared in an instant, so he caught up with him in a few steps, put his father's arm on his shoulder, and planned to carry Hong Tao in from outside the ship.
"Hey...... Don't don't, your father and I are not old enough to let my son hold him, and it is enough to borrow his shoulder. It's still done, the body is quite strong, I haven't forgotten to exercise, how is your mother's health, have you ever sailed to sea in person in recent years? Hong Tao refused Hong Jinhe's kindness, resolutely climbed up by himself, and pinched Hong Jinhe's arm, which was a compliment to his son.
"Or go back and see for yourself, I really don't understand, you have time to run to Lin'an City to toss around, but you don't have time to go home to see my mother, why is this?" When he mentioned his mother, Hong Jinhe was angry again. Bo Zhu's body has been fine all these years, but he is very mentally bad. Whose husband runs out with the mother and son in the second room and does not show up for several years, can the wife feel good?
"Alas, your father and I are the life of hard work, once you see that I am idle one day, it is estimated that death will not be far away, you kid will not expect me to die soon, right? Hey, hey, hey...... Then you just bear with it, this is fate! Hong Tao can't be reasonable on this issue, no matter how he says it, he doesn't pay attention to it. However, Emperor Hong's most famous skill is not reasoning, but ignoring three points.
"Your Majesty, let's go sit and talk, Your Majesty specially caught a lot of crabs for you, saying that you like to eat it the most, let's eat crabs for dinner, right?" Seeing that the father and son didn't talk speculatively when they first met, Yi Yi quickly interjected.
"Jinhe caught me? Well, I also enjoyed the filial piety of my son once. But Prime Minister Yi, your title is a bit wordy, an old majesty, a majesty, it sounds easy to mess up. I now have a new position, Prime Minister of the Great Song Empire. Hey, hey, hey, we're both at the same level, so let's call me my new position. Minister Wen, you are also acquaintances, and he also has a new position, the deputy prime minister of the Great Song Empire. "Hong Tao has a little opinion about Yiyi, this guy has always been lurking in Bojiao's government, although he hasn't done anything outside of eating, but it's not very authentic. However, his performance after becoming the prime minister made Hong Tao have to dispel those personal prejudices against him, on the whole, he is a very qualified prime minister, better than Bo Jiao's management ability, and the empire is indeed advancing steadily under his management.
“…… Belch...... Well, Prime Minister Hong and Premier Moon here, please. "Yi Yi didn't have a verbal dispute with Hong Tao on this issue, the prime minister is the prime minister, what happened in Lin'an City, no one knows, the Ministry of Supervision can't do anything, the blockade is too strict, you can only calculate it according to Hong Tao's statement first.
The Sea King is a behemoth compared to the Virginia-class, and the large deck space between the midmast and the aftermast can be used as a banquet hall, and at this time a long table has been set up here according to the custom of the Jinhe Empire, which is not only a place for conversation and tea, but also a table for dinner. In terms of the arrangement of the seat, Hong Tao insisted that Hong Jinhe sit on the main seat, in his words, today is a dialogue between the two countries, not a family gathering, so it is necessary to focus on the position, not to consider the seniority. The owner of this battleship is the emperor, and the emperor, of course, is the master.
"Jin He, let's talk about the two of us slowly after the negotiation, now let's get down to business. I've said the general situation in the letter, is there anything you don't understand? If so, please bring it up, and I will answer if I can. After the guests and hosts sat down, Hong Tao didn't even hold up the teacup, didn't say half a kind word, and went directly to the topic.
"Prime Minister, the only thing I want to know is where you got these ships and soldiers from. As we all know, these people are not Song people, if there are still transactions between you and European countries behind this, the imperial government will not allow any third party to interfere, this is the bottom line of the empire. "There must be questions, and there are a lot of them, and the first one to question is Yiyi. As the prime minister of the empire, he is the protagonist of this negotiation, and Hong Jinhe and the speaker of the parliament are supporting roles.
"European countries? I'm afraid that the Prime Minister of Iraq has misunderstood, my warships and soldiers are not from Europe, and there is no deal from other countries behind the scenes, so there is no third-party factor. I know that everyone will have more questions when saying this, so many warships and soldiers, they can't be conjured out of thin air, and no one can get them out of the back without the support of national forces. That's right, they originally belonged to a new kingdom of mine, but for the sake of this return, I abandoned my kingdom, and these warships and soldiers now belong to the Great Song Dynasty. If Hong Tao does not make clear the origin of these people, the government of the Jinhe Empire will definitely not be able to sit idly by and watch another force enter East Asia, which is tantamount to raising tigers.
