But even so, Hu Fei would not be so stupid as to really think that the other party was a scholar.
In this way, Hu Fei could roughly guess who the other party was.
The man's identity is obvious since he can have a senior eunuch in the palace standing by and serving him.
But Hu Fei still couldn't believe it. How could His Majesty come out?
Chen Hong glanced at Hu Fei, who was trembling with fear not far away, and said to Zhu Youxiao, "Your Majesty, the people have arrived."
Zhu Youxiao nodded gently, without putting down the fishing rod in his hand, but said lightly: "Okay, let him come over."
After hearing what Zhu Youxiao said, Chen Hong walked towards Hu Fei and said to him with a smile: "Don't stand here, come here."
After hearing the eunuch's words, Hu Fei still felt a little weak in the knees, but he still bowed to the eunuch and then walked over.
Brought before Zhu Youxiao by Chen Hong, Hu Fei knelt on the ground without the slightest hesitation and shouted, "I, Hu Fei, pay my respects to Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor!"
When Zhu Youxiao heard Hu Fei's words, he immediately laughed.
Speaking of it, after traveling through time for so long, this is the first time I heard the words "Long live the emperor". It really feels like something I saw in a movie or TV series in my previous life.
Zhu Youxiao smiled gently and said, "Okay, get up."
When Hu Fei stood up from the ground, Zhu Youxiao looked him up and down and said with a smile, "You look pretty good, but I don't know what your ability is. But it doesn't matter. Since Chen Hong said you can do it, there should be no problem."
"I ask you, are you willing to work for me?"
Is this a problem?
This is not a question at all. Because this question has one and only one answer, there can be no other answer, and no one dares to say any other answer.
Hu Fei was surprised and immediately realized what had happened. His Majesty was going to appoint him! And it must be a very important position!
He spoke loudly and sincerely, "It is my humble honor! I am willing to serve Your Majesty with all my heart and soul, and I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Seeing Hu Fei's grateful expression, Zhu Youxiao immediately smiled.
Originally, I didn't come to see Hu Fei, I just wanted to sneak out of the palace to visit the capital of the Ming Dynasty. This time I happened to catch up, so I met with Hu Fei, and I didn't expect it to be quite interesting.
"You don't have to go through fire and water, and you don't have to die." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.
Hu Fei naturally knew that His Majesty would never let him die. Hearing the sarcasm in His Majesty's tone, he knew that His Majesty was quite satisfied with him.
"Do you know about the Imperial Household Department?" Zhu Youxiao asked Hu Fei with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I know," Hu Fei said quickly. "Now everyone in the capital knows about this. All the merchants are asking about this matter and want to do business with the Imperial Household Department."
"You have to know that the expenses and costs in the palace are very high. A lot of money is spent on purchases every year, which means it is profitable. Merchants like me will naturally flock to it." When Hu Fei said this, he did not hesitate at all and said everything he thought and what he wanted to do.
Looking at Hu Fei, Zhu Youxiao nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that Chen Hong's vision is still good. You are indeed good. Go back and tell the Duke of Ying that I have borrowed you and let him find someone else."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Hu Fei said quickly.
Hu Fei didn't think he could hide his relationship with the Duke of England from His Majesty, so there was nothing surprising about it. It was obvious that His Majesty had already investigated him thoroughly.
"Okay, you can go back. I will let Chen Hong contact you about the next things." After saying that, Zhu Youxiao continued to look at the water and concentrated on fishing.
"I'll take my leave." Hu Fei kowtowed three times before leaving.
After Hu Fei left, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong and said gently, "I'll leave this person to you. If there's anything, I'll come to you directly. Do a good job and don't let me down."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will never let you down." Chen Hong quickly assured.
Zhu Youxiao stood up and stretched, then said with a smile, "Didn't you mention a literary gathering? Today is a good day to go and see it. Actually, I don't know what a literary gathering is like."
"I'll lead the way right away." Chen Hong said hurriedly.
Chen Hong had no objection to the emperor's attendance at the literary gathering and was very supportive.
Because he had been frightened by the emperor before.
He was not surprised that the emperor was leaving the palace, but rather seemed to have expected it.
But who would have thought that the first place the emperor wanted to go was a brothel?
In the emperor's own words, it would be a waste of opportunity if he didn't go to the brothel when leaving the palace.
But how could Chen Hong dare to let the emperor go to a brothel?
The fact that the Emperor had left the palace couldn't be concealed for much longer. If he had really taken the Emperor to a brothel, the consequences would have been disastrous.
The imperial court even had regulations that officials were not allowed to keep prostitutes, let alone the emperor?
At that time, the civil officials will definitely say that it was their companion who seduced the emperor, and he will be in big trouble.
So Chen Hong would never dare to go to a brothel, but he would have no problem going to a literary gathering. That was the business of scholars, a refined affair, and if people knew about it, it would be a good thing.
Zhu Youxiao did not comment on this.
Of course I want to visit the brothels, and even go to the Qinhuai River in Nanjing. If I have the chance, I want to see the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai.
In my past life, the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai were famous. It would be a shame if I didn't go back and see them after traveling through time!
But it would be better to go to the literary gathering first, and then find a chance to see the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai later.
Zhu Youxiao thought about it and nodded with satisfaction.
Chen Hong thought that Zhu Youxiao would be very satisfied with the article.
If he knew what Zhu Youxiao was thinking now, he would definitely cry.
