Chapter 367: Drinking tea and chatting with Hong Chengchou
Chongzhen suddenly put away all the banter, leaned over slightly and looked at him solemnly: "Let me tell you the truth, in the next seventeen years, not only will most of you be surrounded by pig-like teammates, but you will also meet god-like opponents." This king only asks you, once you encounter it, will you rise to the challenge, or will you be captured? ”
Hong Chengchou knelt down on one knee without hesitation and said: "The lower official is willing to be a Ming Dynasty, and his liver and brain will be smeared on the ground, and he will die." ”
"Please remember what you said today, if you encounter a difficult situation and there is no hope of breaking through, you would rather die in battle than surrender!" The first half of the sentence was really indifferent, but the second half of the sentence suddenly aggravated the tone until he spoke sharply.
Hong Chengchou's burly body trembled suddenly, and he just wanted to express his position again, but he heard Chongzhen say again: "This is not what this king meant, but the emperor's original words." ”
"Your Majesty ......" Hong Chengchou subconsciously raised his head to look at Chongzhen, was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was greatly lifted, and he knelt down on his other knee and prostrate on the ground respectfully.
Chongzhen got up, gently lifted him up, looked at his blazing eyes, patted the back of his rough hand, and taught earnestly: "Thousands of thousands, don't let down the emperor's hard work." ”
"Your Majesty...... Your Highness...... Xiaguan ......" Hong Chengchou burst into tears and choked up.
Chong Zhencai will not pay attention to his true feelings, after all, this is a guy who is easily moved, especially by other people's high-status wives, who will be wooed by a mouthful of soup.
Chongzhen felt that he was probably still coveting the familiar posture of his high-status wife, but unfortunately he couldn't take his turn.
Chongzhen gently clapped his palms, and Yuan Qi, who was at the door, moved a huge tea table to the lobby of the governor's yamen's daily office with a few tall Shandong men.
Zhou Yuji served the tea set, Wang Hu installed the stove for boiling water, and walked out, but did not close the door.
Huang Xiaoyi walked in with Shang Fang's sword in his hand and stood aside.
"This ...... This posture ...... Like words? Hong Chengchou was stunned, peeking at the expressionless guard holding Shang Fang's sword, and then secretly thought, "With Shang Fang's sword pressing the formation, why not?" ”
Hong Chengchou felt that there were bursts of envy and jealousy in his heart.
As for hate, he didn't dare.
Chongzhen personally boiled water to make tea, and a series of familiar and professional actions made Hong Chengchou even more stunned, not understanding what this king of faith who came from Beijing all the way to meant, is it really just because of himself?
Hong Chengchou's heart is undoubtedly extremely moved, and at the same time, he is extremely proud.
Chongzhen poured half of the red-headed tea from Xi Shi's hometown on top of the purple sand teapot, and poured the other half into the tea set fished out of the boiling water with tweezers before pouring it out.
Then re-inject the second juice of brown and red tea, and invite Hong Chengchou to sit down and taste tea with one hand.
Hong Chengchou was suddenly flattered, and waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no, the lower officials don't dare to ......."
"Huh?" However, Chongzhen snorted softly, and let him obediently owe half a fart, trembling with his thick arms to take the small tea cup, and saluted Chongzhen for a while, before "squeaking" and sucking it into his mouth.
Chongzhen refilled the cup for him, Hong Chengchou was shy and honored, but at the same time, he felt that if he just tapped the table, it was not enough to express his inner respect for King Xin.
So, he bent his index and middle fingers slightly and placed them on the table to show his knees.
Who knew that Chongzhen was furious when he saw his action, and slammed the large cup of tea on the tea table, and said angrily: "Does a brew of tea make you willing to bend your backbone?" You must always remember that only I, the Heavenly Monarch of China, have the qualifications to make you kneel. The rest is not enough! ”
Hong Chengchou finally understood Chongzhen's final intention, although he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, feeling that King Xin was humiliating himself, but he still left a deep impression on this scene in his heart, and he introspected himself with this, three times a day.
Chongzhen wants to instill chicken soup for the soul into Hong Chengchou from now on, and support him with the glory of the Han family, so that he will not be bought by Huang Taiji's wife Mu Bumutai's bowl of poisonous chicken soup.
Chongzhen waited for Hong Chengchou to calm down, took a sip of brown and red tea and said: "This grain governor participates in politics, are you still satisfied?" ”
Hong Chengchou Hao Ran said: "Your Highness, don't you want to torture your lower officials!" ”
Chongzhen said: "Okay, then let's talk openly and honestly." This king thinks that a small grain governor is not worthy of your talent, so you simply become the left minister of Shaanxi Province's political envoys, and are in charge of the tripartite affairs of grain supervision, tuntian, and military affairs. ”
Hong Chengchou was shocked: "Your Highness, how can this be made? ”
Chongzhen squinted at him and said: "You kid don't want to be cheap and behave, just say if you want to do it, do it if you want to do it, if you don't want to do it, get out, this king has other arrangements." ”
Hong Chengchou smiled awkwardly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your love, your ...... Aspiration! ”
Chongzhen nodded lightly and said, "Don't you think that a small envoy to the Yamen wants to participate in politics so much, is it too much waste of the imperial court's money and food?" ”
Hong Chengchou really didn't dare to answer this, and he wouldn't answer it, so he just pretended not to understand and smiled awkwardly.
Chongzhen laughed and pointed at him, "It's really a young old fox." Cheng, this king will not pit you. This king thinks that it seems to be very good to take the initiative to invite Ying to go to Yan'an Mansion to participate in politics, so let him and you assist Shaanxi Chengxuan as the political envoy to guard the land of westward expansion. ”
Hong Chengchou said: "Is His Highness the Lord Zhang Yaozhang right?" ”
Chongzhen said: "Yes, it's him." I almost forgot his name, but luckily you reminded me. ”
"What kind of believer is this?" Hong Chengchou was embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "In this way, didn't we put the political envoy in the air?" ”
Chongzhen raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "There are governors and there are people who participate in politics, is there any difference between him and his political envoy?" You don't have to be suspicious, just work hard for Lao Tzu and make some real achievements.
It doesn't hurt to tell you the truth, Cao Erzhen, the governor of Shaanxi who is uncertain, is also the end of the day, even if Wei Zhongxian is standing behind him, it is useless, before the king set off, the imperial court was already selecting new officials. ”
Hong Chengchou said with a shy face: "With such a high position, who will it fall on?" ”
Chongzhen squinted at him for the third time and said, "Why are you so shameless?" How old are you? He didn't even make a big political achievement, so he tried to get involved with the governor of one side? ”
Hong Chengchou was ruthlessly exposed to the deep desire in his heart, and he didn't have Hao Ran unusually, but laughed and said: "King Xin's eyes are really good, and my old Hong's mind has actually been seen through by you." ”
