Chapter 257 Chapter 278-279: King vs. King(1/3)
Chen Ye was sleeping on the hotel bed. The alarm clock did not go off. Instead, he was awakened by the system's notification tone. He casually clicked Agree.
Then I looked at the time, 7:03, and gritted my teeth.
"Chen Ye: Lao Zhu, didn't you say you would come at nine o'clock?"
『Chongzhen: Shopkeeper, the day’s plan starts in the morning. How about we have breakfast together?
Let's discuss how to meet Liu Bei?"
Chen Ye saw what Chongzhen said, and even if he saw it, the fundamental purpose of Chongzhen was to gain a home field advantage.
After all, everyone is the emperor, and it is very important who will be the leader in the future. He does not want to weaken Liu Bei, and it is also true that the whole dynasty is stronger than the Three Kingdoms.
"Chen Ye: Okay, okay, by the way, you asked Sun Chuanting and Zhang Sizhi to come over last night, right?"
"Chongzhen: That's right, the owner."
"Chen Ye: OK, I'll contact the best maternal and child health hospital in Temasek, open a VIP channel, test his sperm quality, and then go to the reservoir area to prepare.
I edited a video for a whole day yesterday and I’m exhausted. Why don’t you bring in a few people who can stay for a long time and let them be responsible for receiving new students in the future?」
"Chongzhen: It's the same, I'll let them train others.
Haven’t the shopkeepers here in Hyundai done it yet? At this time, they have no work to do if they are looking for people who have been waiting for a long time.」
"Chen Ye: Even if they don't do anything, they can still learn things by staying in modern times.
Okay, you can make your own arrangements, I’ll go and arrange them, and I’ll call you over later.”
Chongzhen, who had lowered his head and pretended to read a book but had actually finished chatting with Chen Ye, looked up and saw the two people who had already walked to the door and were waiting with their heads down.
"Ai Qing, come in."
"See your majesty, your majesty will live forever."
"Excuse me, have you all handed over the matter?"
Chongzhen was quite satisfied with the two men wearing official robes. Their image would not embarrass the Ming Dynasty.
"Back to Your Majesty, regarding the Royal Army and the New Liaodong Army, I have already handed over the matter to the Marquis of Guangning, and several regimental commanders and general soldiers have also assigned tasks, so there will be no delay."
"The same goes for me. I have already beaten up the members of the six departments of Shengjing last night. Now I can guarantee that the six departments of Shengjing will perform their duties conscientiously.
It would take some time for the great khans from various Mongolian tribes to come to see him.
The crown prince of Goryeo will collect the bones of the three ministers in the past two days and set off soon."
After listening to the reports of the two men, Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction.
"I'll give you orders later, and the White Tiger Regiment will transfer a battalion to bring a month's worth of food and wages. At that time, they will 'escort' the crown prince back to Goryeo and set up a battalion headquarters there, waiting for my instructions."
"I will give my orders immediately."
Sun Chuanting took out his mobile phone and contacted the White Tiger Group.
"Then I will tell you now what you need to pay attention to in the past.
In that world, the Chinese government was very strict, especially when it came to outsiders. We were all undocumented.
You must always remember that you are not allowed to tell others about your origins. Your origins are all Chinese.
In front of outsiders, you should address me as Chairman, and the same goes for addressing the store owner. I am Director Zhu, and the owner is Director Chen."
"...I understand."
The two people's brains were working rapidly, and they wrote down these seemingly strange warnings. Anyway, they just remembered what Chongzhen said.
"In this case, you two dears, get ready, I will take you to the future world later.
You will see a brand new world, and you will know how low-level the methods you used to guard that land and drain the people dry were."
"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness in rebuilding, and I swear to be loyal to Your Majesty to the death."
"Your Majesty, I will advance and retreat with your Majesty."
Sun Chuanting and Zhang Sizhi said in unison.
After explaining for a while, Chongzhen looked at the system messages, and Chen Ye reminded him that he was ready, so he communicated with the system.
A vacuum suddenly formed where the three of them were, which was then filled with air, and the people disappeared.
Zhang Sizhi and Sun Chuanting just blinked and suddenly realized that the surrounding environment had changed.
From a small room to a huge space, this kind of space was completely impossible to achieve with the technology of the Ming Dynasty.
Chen Ye, whom he had met before, was looking at them with a smile on his face.
"Haha, welcome both of you to 2022."
Chen Ye's voice brought them back to their senses, and they quickly bowed to Chen Ye.
"I've met Director Chen."
"General Sun, Zhang Ge, there is no need to be polite, you can be casual. This is an overseas city.
That is Temasek during the Ming Dynasty. The entire city was about the size of the capital, with a population of more than six million."
"Six million!"
Sun Chuanting and Zhang Sizhi exclaimed, unable to imagine what it would be like if the capital had a population of six million.
"Yeah, that's not too much. You have to know that in China now, which is the future of the Ming Dynasty, there are 17 cities with a population of tens of millions.
Lao Zhu and Lao Liu are also ready, please prepare yourselves and I will ask them to come over."
"Okay, I'll give you your order."
After Chongzhen nodded, he winked with Sun Chuanting and Zhang Sizhi, who was listening on the side. The two immediately looked at each other, then straightened up their chests and stood beside Chongzhen, one on the left and the other on the right.
Within a few breaths, I saw two figures suddenly appearing in the sky.
One is Liu Bei, who wears a crown on his head, black undertones, a red lining, yellow dragon patterns, and a dagger tied around his waist.
The other one is Zhuge Liang, who is wearing a magpie-tail hat, white plain clothes, holding a feather fan in his hand, his eyes are changing due to the light, and his pupils are shrinking.
As soon as Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang appeared, they saw the people a few steps away in front of them. Although he was prepared, Liu Bei still subconsciously held the hilt of his sword.
After coming back to his senses, he first saluted Chen Ye, whom he knew, and then Liu Bei had time to observe the three people opposite him.
A young man wearing a yellow robe, a red dragon, and a black hat, scanning his eyes curiously, stood in the middle.
There were two other slightly restrained peers in green gowns who also looked at me curiously.
With just a glance, Liu Bei knew that the young man was Chongzhen.
Seeing Chongzhen's calm expression, Liu Bei was also a little unwilling to be outdone, but when he suddenly arrived in this huge room, he always felt uneasy about being in a foreign place.
The trio from the Ming Dynasty looked at Liu Bei and Liu Bei carefully as if they were looking at rare animals. These were living historical figures, the monarchs of the Three Kingdoms whom they had watched countless times.
Sun Chuanting suddenly remembered that Chen Ye looked at him very strangely back then, maybe it was the same as now, right?
There was a stalemate in the atmosphere. Chongzhen took the lead and took a few steps forward, passing Zhang Sizhi and Sun Chuanting. He walked steadily. Liu Bei was driven by this movement and also held his crown, and began to approach step by step.
"I am the sixteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian, whose courtesy name is Deyue. Hello, Emperor of the Han Dynasty."
"The 30th emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei, courtesy name Xuande, hello, Emperor Ming."
Chongzhen joined hands and took the lead in saluting Liu Bei. After all, he was a man older than him. This attitude made Liu Bei quickly return the favor and he felt a little better.
"Haha, brother Xuande, we have to have a good exchange later. I have been familiar with the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms since I was a child, and later I read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
I admire Brother Xuande very much for his benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, and his ability to recognize and employ people.
These two are our Ming cabinet bachelors, Sun Chuanting, courtesy name Boya, and Zhang Sizhi, courtesy name Yibai, who are responsible for helping me handle the memorial."
"Brother Deyo is ridiculous. You and I are both emperors of China. I, the Han Dynasty, are respected by the people. The Ming Dynasty drove out the Tartars and revived China.
This is our prime minister of the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang, whose courtesy name is Kong Ming.
Brother Deyo, you have experience in running a country, and I have experience in fighting, so there will definitely be many experiences to talk about. Let us stay up tonight to talk and have a good exchange."
Liu Bei habitually activated his passive skills to stop talking at night.
"Sun Chuanting, a great scholar in the Ming Dynasty cabinet, paid tribute to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and met Prime Minister Zhuge."
"Zhang Sizhi, a great scholar in the Ming Dynasty cabinet, paid tribute to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and met Prime Minister Zhuge."
"Zhuge Kongming, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, paid tribute to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I have seen..."
The three ministers finally had time to show their faces to each other. Chen Ye saw that they were almost acquainted and quickly stopped.
"Okay, what about that? If you want to communicate, we can talk about it later. Now, come over and sit down together. The modern social integration program has started."
Chen Ye thought, and several tables and chairs appeared. After letting a few people sit down, he pulled the TV screen over.
"Lao Zhu has been here twice in modern times. He can basically be calm about modern society, so this lesson is for everyone.
Lao Zhu, you can supplement them later, after all, there are some differences between my worldview and yours."
"Don't worry, owner, brother Xuande, don't worry, I will definitely make you understand."
"I have already thanked the shopkeeper and Brother Deyo."
As Chen Ye released the content on the screen, several people who came to reality for the first time, or were exposed to the future world for the first time, were completely lost.
