As soon as Huang Ping leaves the palace, he will definitely go to Changlong Rice Shop.
Many people inside and outside the palace knew it.
Just because the owner of Changlong Rice Shop is his father Huang Wei.
When Huang Wei sent him to the palace, he did not return to his hometown, but found a job in the capital.
From then on, father and son could meet each other from time to time, taking advantage of Huang Ping's absence from the palace.
Huang Ping got better and better as he got better and better in the palace, and he actually accumulated a sum of money, which he handed over to Huang Weidian to buy the Changlong Rice Store.
Now Huang Wei is also a man of the hour in the capital.
Many people who wanted to take the palace route could not reach Wang Chengen, so they set their sights on Huang Ping.
And Huang Wei is the best intermediary.
When Huang Ping walked into Changlong Rice Shop, Uncle Xiangcheng's housekeeper was joking and joking.
"Who in the capital doesn't know that Boss Huang's rice is the best? Even our uncle feels refreshed physically and mentally after eating it. Boss Huang, we have agreed that in the future, we will count on the rice from Xiangcheng Uncle's Mansion.
It’s your shop.”
Huang Wei smiled broadly and held his hands in his arms.
"My uncle has a body worth a thousand pieces of gold. It's too late for me to be grateful. Old housekeeper, please rest assured that I will personally inspect the rice I will give to my uncle in the future. If there is any oversight, I will personally go to my uncle's house to apologize."
Both sides are in love with each other, and we can chat in the alley.
When the housekeeper of Xiangcheng Bo's Mansion saw Huang Ping walking in, he just nodded and left.
Everything that needs to be conveyed has been conveyed, and there is no need to add extraneous details.
Especially in the officialdom, once the limit is exceeded, it is not a blessing, but a curse.
After sending away the housekeeper of Xiangcheng Bo's Mansion, Huang Ping took the initiative to help Huang Wei.
"The weather is getting colder and colder, and father must also take care of himself. If he is too busy, just leave it to the waiter."
Huang Wei enjoyed his son's filial piety and was very pleased.
"My body is quite strong. Taking advantage of the current situation, I can make a lot of money and save some wealth for you. Even if you can't work in the palace in the future, you still have a way out, right?"
Inside and outside the store, looking at the father and son relying on each other, who wouldn’t say hello?
The two of them walked around the counter and reached the back. Huang Wei's face turned serious.
He wanted to withdraw his arm, but Huang Ping wouldn't let him.
"It's rare for a son to be filial to you."
Huang Wei was a little reluctant to give up, but also a little sober.
"We...we are not..."
Huang Ping looked forward, lowered his voice, but his tone was very firm.
"The child has lost his parents since he was a child, and only lives with his sister. Thanks to your careful care over the years, the child is born today. You are the child's father, and he will always be. When you are alive, the child will be filial; after a hundred years, the child will be the father of the child.
Pay homage to the incense and wear filial piety."
Huang Wei burst into tears all of a sudden.
"The young master said that you are a long-term lover, and indeed he was right. The old man is no longer alone, he also has a son."
Huang Ping had a smile on his lips. Although he was now half a head taller than Huang Wei, he still walked lightly and followed his father into the secret room.
There is another person here.
Wearing a white coat and a mask, covering up tightly.
Seeing Huang Ping walking in, he greeted: "Director, congratulations."
Although Huang Ping is the youngest among the three people present, in terms of position, Huang Ping is the oldest.
Because he is the director of the Gyeonggi Division of the Ministry of Intelligence.
Even his father Huang Wei is his subordinate.
“Where does joy come from?”
Only in front of his own people would Huang Wei show his ordinary appearance.
He sat down relaxedly and watched curiously as the man took out a syringe from the box surrounded by ice and drew some white mucus from a glass vial.
The man motioned to Huang Ping to reveal his left arm.
"Director, don't you know yet? My sister has been awarded the honor of being a national scholar. From now on, it will be a matter of course that we will honor our ancestors and be famous in history."
Huang Ping's eyes showed surprise, and his joy was even deeper.
"really?"
Then he started nagging.
"How can that girl be worthy of the honor of being a national scholar? She must be favored by His Highness. I hope she will not be arrogant because of his favor."
The man laughed.
"The director said this. If your sister finds out, she will definitely disobey her."
He told about Lu An's deeds of trying medicine on his own and conquering smallpox, which made Huang Ping sigh and feel extremely proud of his sister.
The man vaccinated him against smallpox.
"Smallpox was rampant in North Korea, and many people died. Although there is no epidemic in the country for the time being, to prepare for a rainy day, His Highness has ordered that all the people of Xia Kingdom be vaccinated. We are alone in the capital and are in an even more dangerous situation, so Your Highness has given special approval
Take medication."
Huang Ping had a smile on his face after hearing the good news about his sister.
"His Royal Highness has always been afraid that we would not live well, which really makes us speechless."
Huang Wei and the man nodded. They really couldn't ask for more from their current life.
After the small talk, it’s time to get down to business.
Huang Ping was in a hurry to leave the palace just to send the information back.
"Yang Sichang proposed to unite with the Zheng family in Fujian in order to harm our Xia Kingdom. After the Ming Dynasty wiped out the northwest bandits, they will join forces with the Zheng family to attack by land and water."
Huang Wei and the man couldn't help but change their expressions after hearing this.
If Ming's plan were to be realized, it would at least cause serious losses to the Xia Kingdom.
Huang Wei was overjoyed.
"His Highness, who knew thousands of miles away, sent you to the palace in the first place. Otherwise, how could there be any benefit today?"
The monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty would never have imagined that there were spies from the Xia Kingdom hiding right next to them.
I'm afraid Xia Guo already knew about any of their decisions before they were communicated.
However, at the end of the dynasty, everything was out of harmony, and the court was like a sieve, which was normal.
Even Huang Taiji was well aware of Daming's actions, not to mention Zuo Mengeng, who paid more attention to intelligence work.
"We originally wanted to solve the Zheng family's problem. Since Daming has evil intentions, let's speed up the process."
After receiving the information from Huang Ping, Zuo Menggeng sneered, feeling that these incompetent people were really wishful thinking.
Still want to attack Xia Kingdom by water?
Don’t even look at the virtues of the Ming army!
If the Xia Kingdom hadn't been making plans in other directions, how could the Ming Dynasty survive to this day.
Didn't Chongzhen want to attack the Xia Kingdom by land and water?
Then deal with the Zheng family first and make their idea completely bankrupt.
It just so happened that the conflict between Xia Guo and the Zheng family was intensifying, and as expected, it was on the verge of breaking out.
However, no one expected that the trigger of the whole situation would appear in distant Japan.
Hizen Province, Shimabara.
This place has become a hell on earth.
Although autumn has arrived, as far as you can see, all the fields are barren.
A few rice seedlings stood stubbornly on the dry land, with their yellow leaves drooping, like Japanese people who were suffering.
In a village, a vicious warrior knocked open the door of a common people's house.
They rushed in, ignored the wailing of the people, and snatched out the little food they had at home.
The leading warrior was very proud.
"Damn untouchables, you actually disobeyed the lord's order. You must pay all taxes within three days. If you delay the lord's etiquette in going to Luo, I will never forgive you."
