Borrow the day to change the day

"Oh, which vassal is Master Zhong referring to?" Emperor Chongzhen asked with a happy face when he heard this, and looked at Zhong Jinwei.

Wen Tiren and others also heard the sound and looked over, wondering which feudal king Xing Guogong is sure about?

Seeing that everyone in the hall was paying attention to him, Zhong Jinwei spit out two words softly: "King Tang!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen, Wen Tiren and the others felt a little enlightened.Indeed, if anyone among the vassal kings volunteered to be the first to go to North America, it would be Tang Wang.

However, it is not easy for Tang Wang to be the first to go to North America voluntarily.Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen immediately beat the snake and followed the stick and said, "So, why don't you bother Master Zhong to go to Tang Palace?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Jinwei regretted it.Therefore, Archie's labor day is just these few days. If he goes to Henan, even if he can make it back before the year, he must have missed Archie's labor day.

"Your Majesty, why don't you issue an imperial decree first to see which feudal lord will go to North America voluntarily? If not, how about going to Henan again?" Zhong Jinwei discussed with Emperor Chongzhen.

As soon as Wen Tiren heard this, he wanted to suggest that the imperial edict from King Tang should be conveyed directly by the Duke, so that if King Tang hesitates, he can persuade him again, and there is no need to make a second trip.

But before he could speak, he heard Emperor Chongzhen stare at Zhong Jinwei first, and then suddenly asked, "But Archie is about to give birth?"

Zhong Jinwei nodded, and replied with a slightly wry smile: "Exactly."

As soon as Wen Tiren heard this, he gave up his thoughts and didn't speak.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded in understanding and said, "In this case, follow what Master Zhong said."

He actually likes Zhong Jinwei's virtue of valuing his family members very much, because he can really rest assured that Zhong Jinwei attaches so much importance to his family members because he can't keep it a secret.

But what Emperor Chongzhen didn't expect was that as soon as the meeting was over, before the imperial decree was sent out, Zhong Jinwei sent someone into the palace to announce the good news, saying that Archie had given birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was also very happy for Zhong Jinwei, and immediately rewarded Zhong Jinwei.However, with the congratulatory gift sent to the Duke's Mansion, there was another message, which was to ask Zhong Jinwei if he could go to Henan now.

Although Zhong Jinwei was not very happy, he always remembered what he had said to Hong Chengchou.Also in order to support his family, to be worthy of Emperor Chongzhen's trust, and to be worthy of such incredible things as crossing, he agreed to go out of Beijing.

Nanyang, Henan is not very far from the capital, so it took Zhong Jinwei a few days to reach his destination.

As soon as he entered Nanyang City, Zhong Jinwei found that there were many people.Judging by their appearance, they are all poor people.

Zhong Jinwei was moved, so he asked someone to inquire about the news.The information obtained was as expected by Zhong Jinwei. These were the refugees and disaster victims recruited by the Tang king. They had already sold themselves to the Tang king and planned to go overseas with the Tang king.

Zhong Jinwei estimated the number of people, and estimated in his heart that the king of Tang probably spent a lot of thought. There are so many ordinary people, and it is estimated that there will be many sergeants selected.

When they arrived at Tang Palace, Tang Wang had already been waiting there and welcomed Zhong Jinwei in.

After reading the imperial decree, King Tang invited Zhong Jinwei to sit down.He looked a little hesitant, but he still asked Zhong Jinwei: "Duke, do you dare to ask other vassals to go willingly?"

When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he shook his head and replied: "The lower officials don't know, and this matter was not reported to the capital so quickly."

"Then I don't know if the edicts passed by the other feudal lords are all honorable relatives?" King Tang asked again.

Zhong Jinwei still shook his head, and answered him: "No, it's just His Highness who is here to deliver the decree. The other vassal kings are not relatives of honorable emperors."

When Tang Wang heard this, he knew it well.He looked at Zhong Jinwei and asked bluntly: "Then the court meant that Gu was the first to go to North America?"

Unexpectedly, Zhong Jinwei still shook his head and replied, "No."

"Where...?" Tang Wang originally thought that his prediction was accurate, but he didn't expect to answer in the negative, and he suddenly didn't know what it meant.

After all, the other vassals are just ordinary angels, but here is the most powerful Duke Xingguo of Ming Dynasty who came to deliver the decree. If there is no secret in it, he would not believe it even if he was killed.

Zhong Jinwei smiled slightly at King Tang and said, "It was the official who voluntarily asked His Majesty for this errand, and came here to see His Majesty."

"Ah...!" King Tang lost his voice.

Zhong Jinwei continued to fool King Tang and said, "No matter what, Xiaguan and King Tang are old acquaintances. Before that, King Tang also helped at the vassal meeting held two years ago. , even the emperor knows it well..."

Listening to Duke Xing Guo talking about this matter, King Tang remembered that he was a blessing in disguise that time, he couldn't help interrupting Zhong Jinwei, and said gratefully: "In fact, what happened that time was thanks to the Duke Zhou Xuan, otherwise there would be no such thing as Gu's current status. Now the solitary is within the high wall of Fengyang."

Zhong Jinwei smiled and waved his hands, and then said: "A few trivial things are not worth mentioning. The official has a relationship with His Highness, and he also knows that His Highness intends to contribute to the country, but it is based on his status and has no ambition. Therefore, now that we have this opportunity, let Come here in person, lest His Highness miss it."

When Tang Wang heard this, his heart moved, and he couldn't help asking: "But this is the matter of voluntarily going to North America for the first time?"

"Your Highness is indeed talented and intelligent, that's what it means to be an official." Zhong Jinwei sent a flattery to him.

But King Tang was immune to this flattery, and he frowned slightly and said: "My lord, if we go to North America next year, the supply points along the way are rudimentary, and there are Xiyi who don't know the details. I don’t know, I’m afraid it’s wrong to be the first one to go?”

After speaking, he also looked at Duke Xingguo's guards.Now that he said these things, he was not afraid that some of them would go back and chew their tongues, because what he said was the truth.

Gu Baichuan and the others acted as if they didn't see or hear them, and just performed their duties as guards.

After Zhong Jinwei listened, he burst out laughing, causing everyone to look over, including his guards.

"Duke, what do you mean by laughing? Could it be possible that you are wrong when you say these things?" Tang Wang asked a little bit dissatisfied after Zhong Jinwei's laughter subsided.

Zhong Jinwei stopped laughing, but still kept smiling and answered Tang Wangdao first: "No, your Highness is right. Even the officials can assure His Highness that the actual difficulties of going to North America may be far more than these."

Hearing Zhong Jinwei's words, Gu Baichuan, who knew the intention of the Duke's visit, was not calm.He looked at the Duke, wondering whether the Duke was here to persuade the King of Tang to go to North America first, or to advise the King of Tang not to be the first to go to North America?

Tang Wang was also confused by Zhong Jinwei, so he waited for Xing Guogong's next words to see what it meant?
