Hong Chengchou was going to go to the Wa Kingdom, and the news spread very quickly in Nanjing, and in less than a day, almost the entire city of Nanjing was discussing this matter.

Especially those old men who are as old as Hong Chengchou but retired at home, these were originally ministers of the DPRK and China, and they have never lived in peace after retiring. Everyone is thinking about the future of their family, and everyone understands the truth that if they don't advance, they will retreat, especially these old men who used to be in high positions but now have no official positions.

When the old men of these families learned that Hong Chengchou, who was already old, was not afraid of danger, he wanted to go to the Japanese Kingdom to assist Mao Wenlong in governing the Japanese Kingdom. Whether there is a cat or a great hidden benefit in this, these old men know it.

Today's Great Tomorrow has long been peaceful, and there is no place to go if you want to establish your military exploits, and you are all eating in the army and waiting for death after the gates, and the future is bleak. Now that there is finally such a way out, the old guys in the Jiangmen family have begun to think carefully one by one.

Early the next morning, Hong Chengchou had just gotten up and washed up, when he heard the old housekeeper report that there was a long queue outside the courtyard, and a large number of people came to visit.

Hong Chengchou was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who are they?" ”

The old housekeeper recalled for a moment and said, "It seems that they are all old men in the gate." ”

Hong Chengchou frowned, and after thinking deeply, he said, "Cool them, no one is allowed to let them in without my permission." ”

The old butler said yes, and then turned away.

Hong Chengchou ate something casually, then left through the back door, and went straight to the imperial study, at this moment, Mao Jingwen had just left the morning dynasty and was resting inside. Hearing that Hong Chengchou was coming, he didn't dare to slack off, and got up to greet him outside the door.

Except for Mao Wenlong, the only one who can get such a courtesy from the emperor in the entire Ming Dynasty is Hong Chengchou.

In the face of the emperor's courtesy, Hong Chengchou did not see the outside, nor did he be hypocritical. After entering the imperial study and taking a seat with the support of the emperor, Hong Chengchou said with a smile: "The emperor knows that the old man has really become a sweetheart now." ”

"Oh, sir, where did you start with that?" Mao Jingwen looked at Hong Chengchou with a smile on his face rather unexpectedly.

"When the old man got up in the morning, the small courtyard was already surrounded by the old guys who guarded the door. Does the emperor know why these people suddenly came to visit the old man? Hong Chengchou looked at the emperor with a smile.

Mao Jingwen pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Please Mr. Speak clearly!" ”

has been with Hong Chengchou, the old fox of the dynasty, for a long time, Mao Jingwen has also learned to ask questions shamelessly, and plays with Hong Chengchou, Mao Jingwen knows that he is not an opponent.

Hong Chengchou obviously saw Mao Jingwen's helplessness, so he didn't hang his appetite, and said clearly: "These old guys are obviously here to find a way out for the descendants of the family. ”

Mao Jingwen suddenly realized: "What Mr. means is that they are ready to let the younger generations of the family follow Mr. to go to sea to go to sea to conquer the Japanese country?" ”

Hong Chengchou nodded and smiled: "Indeed, now the Ming Dynasty has long been peaceful in the world, there is no war at all, and the old guys in the gate have retired to their homes." But they still have the fame and fortune they had before, but those juniors are gone, and they still stay in Daming and only do nothing for a lifetime. ”

Mao Jingwen agreed after hearing this, and he said with a smile; "What is the gentleman going to do?"

Hong Chengchou chuckled: "They came just in time, and the old man was still worried about where to select talents. Now that this problem has been solved, there is no need for the old man to worry about it, and he can choose the talents he needs. ”

Mao Jingwen nodded and replied: "Sir, if there is something that needs me to make a move, don't worry, I will definitely go all out." ”

Hong Chengchou nodded with a smile, what he needed was Mao Jingwen's words, with the support of the emperor, he could do things without any worries.

After saying goodbye to Mao Jingwen, Hong Chengchou hurried back to his small courtyard, without any accidents, those people were still waiting outside. According to the old housekeeper's report, there are not only no fewer people outside, but also a lot more. Before, it was only those old guys who came to the gate, and after a while, even the civil officials who are now popular in the DPRK and China have also come.

After learning the news, Hong Chengchou was not distressed, but became even happier. The main purpose of this trip to the Wa Kingdom was to help Mao Wenlong govern the Wa Kingdom. There was no need for his assistance in the war, and after all the military attachés who had come before, they naturally lacked governance skills.

But now that even the civil officials are here, this is exactly what Hong Chengchou wants, and the old guy smiled and instructed the housekeeper to start letting people outside come in one by one to see him.

They are all here to find a way out for the younger generations in the family, and Hong Chengchou will not give such an opportunity in vain. Especially when he learned that these guys took the initiative to find him, he had a bargaining chip that he could blackmail others, and if he didn't take the opportunity to take advantage of it, it would be in vain for Hong Chengchou to live at such an age.

The first one to come in was Zuo Liangyu, Hong Chengchou's old general. Although Hong Chengchou later changed from a military general to a civil minister, and Zuo Liangyu also parted ways with him, the friendship is still there, and Hong Chengchou has always taken care of him.

"Sir, Xiaguan ......" Zuo Liangyu's face was full of embarrassment, and when he saw Hong Chengchou, his speech became slurred.

After all, he is his top boss, and he Zuo Liangyu has always been taken care of by Hong Chengchou, and he has no way to repay him, but now he is still thinking about finding a way out for the back of his family. For a while, Zuo Liangyu's heart was very unhappy, but for the sake of future generations, his old face had to be let go, otherwise the old Zuo family might really decline from now on.

Looking at Zuo Liangyu, who was twisting and pinching like an old lady, Hong Chengchou rolled his eyes rarely, and snorted coldly: "What's the matter, I'm embarrassed to open my mouth, isn't it, then if that's the case, you can go, and there are still a lot of people lining up behind." ”

Hong Chengchou's tone obviously frightened Zuo Liangyu, and he immediately said that he didn't dare to, and then said solemnly: "Sir, there are still six juniors in the Xiaguan family, and now they are idle in the barracks all day long. From time to time, they are always making trouble outside, and the lower officials can't let them go on like this, so I heard that Mr. is going to go to the Japanese country to help the general soldiers, and the lower officials hope that Mr. can bring these six rebels in the family and let them sharpen themselves in the army. ”

This was said very sincerely, and Hong Chengchou did not embarrass Zuo Liangyu anymore, after all, they were all old subordinates who had followed him for most of his life. There is no reason not to take care of him, Hong Chengchou said very happily: "Okay, you can go home and arrange it now, before leaving, the old man will send someone to inform you." ”

Zuo Liangyu heard that the stone in his heart finally landed, and after thanking him, he left with a spring breeze on his face.
