Chapter Fifty-ninth Escort
The first batch of brick kilns in Haoyue Manor were dug. Yu Hao was teaching Father Wu and the others how to make bricks when he was taken away by Feng Yulou who came in a hurry.
Along the way, Feng Yulou told Yu Hao not to say the wrong thing later, let alone admit that he had recruited hundreds of guards.
Arriving at the Imperial Study Room, Changsun Xiao suddenly showed a cold smile when he saw Yu Hao.
Yu Hao didn't bother to pay attention to him. He knelt in front of Zhu Song and shouted loudly: "Long live my emperor."
"Plain body."
"I wonder why the emperor summoned his ministers here?"
Yu Hao pretended not to know.
Before Zhu Song could say anything, Changsun Xiao pointed at Yu Hao and said, "You are so bold, Yu Hao. You secretly recruited strong men, gathered troops in Haoyue Manor, and planned to rebel. Are you aware of your guilt?"
The emperor hasn't spoken yet, but you, the prime minister, jumped out to convict Yu Hao?
This move made everyone present frown, Zhu Song had a cold face, and Feng Yulou had a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
Even the prince was quite dissatisfied, thinking that Zhang Sunxiao's move somewhat ignored Zhu Song.
What everyone didn't expect was that Yu Hao didn't give Changsun Xiao any face, and looked sideways at Changsun Xiao with extremely cold eyes.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I am talking to the Emperor, what is your dog barking over there?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Song felt relieved, and the queen nodded appreciatively.
"This Yu Hao is quite tough at critical moments."
Princess Jianyang also rarely stood by Yu Hao, because compared to Yu Hao, Changsun Xiao was obviously more annoying.
Changsun Xiao was not angry. In his opinion, Yu Hao was already a dead man.
"Humph, you ignorant kid is so arrogant even when death is imminent. Your Majesty, please put this arrogant kid in jail immediately!"
Zhu Song smiled slightly and said: "Prime Minister, don't worry, the matter is not clear yet. Yu Hao, I would like to ask you whether you have recruited hundreds of strong men in the manor."
"Yes." Yu Hao nodded.
Zhu Song was stunned, not expecting Yu Hao to admit it so easily. Feng Yulou on the side also kept winking at Yu Hao, extremely anxious.
"Then let me ask you again, are the strong men you recruited issued with weapons?"
"It matches."
"Hahaha, Yu Hao, you finally admitted it, right? Now you have no place to die!"
Changsunxiao was overjoyed. He really didn't expect that Yu Hao would be stupid enough to admit it in front of the emperor. Now even if the emperor wanted to protect him, it would be impossible.
"Don't you know that the Baron can only recruit a hundred armed guards? It is a capital crime for you to recruit hundreds of armed guards privately in Da Da!"
Zhu Song was so angry that Yu Hao had lost his mind. How could he admit it in person?
As long as he refuses to admit it, the matter can be investigated by Jianguo Temple. The commander of Jianguo Temple is Li Mingyang. Isn't it easy to help Yu Hao clear his name?
"Who said these people I recruited are bodyguards? I obviously recruited bodyguards, right?"
As Yu Hao spoke, he took out a piece of yellow paper from his arms. On it was the registration certificate of Haoyue Escort Agency and the seal of the Ministry of War.
"I am a bodyguard agency registered with the Ministry of War. Daqian regulations do not stipulate how many people a bodyguard agency can recruit, right?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present widened their eyes, even Zhu Song was surprised.
Yu Hao actually established a bodyguard bureau? As an emperor, he didn’t even know it?
"Impossible, don't try to fool His Majesty. Why is there no news about your establishment of a bodyguard bureau? Besides, I don't see you helping others to sell goods." Zhang Sunxiao said angrily.
"Open your eyes and see clearly, this is the seal of the Ministry of War!" Yu Hao held out the certificate in front of Changsun Xiao and pointed to the seal on it.
When Chang Sunxiao was about to snatch the certificate, Yu Hao quickly took the certificate back and put it in his arms.
"Who said that when you set up a bodyguard agency, you have to help others carry goods? Can't I help myself carry goods?" Yu Hao glared at Changsun Xiao and said angrily.
Zhang Sunxiao was choked and speechless. Da Qian did not stipulate the number of people the escort agency could recruit, and it was clearly stated that the escorts in the escort agency could be equipped with weapons.
At the same time, there is no requirement that the establishment of an escort agency must help others carry goods.
"Yu Hao, when did you establish the escort agency? Why don't I know?" Zhu Song asked doubtfully.
"Your Majesty, when the Ministry of War issued pensions, I set up a bodyguard bureau and found officials from the Ministry of War to stamp it." Yu Hao said truthfully.
When he was at the Ministry of War, Yu Hao saw information about the escort bureau. Since he had nothing to do, he simply registered for one.
In addition, Yu Hao was personally sent by the emperor to distribute pensions. Although he had no official position or position, the officials of the Ministry of War did not want to become the second doctor Liu Dafu in the Ministry of War, so they naturally did not dare to embarrass Yu Hao.
Yu Hao successfully stamped and obtained the certificate.
If he hadn't had this proof in hand, Yu Hao would not have dared to recruit veterans so openly, and would have equipped each veteran with a divine arm crossbow.
Zhu Song suddenly understood and nodded. At that time, all his attention was on the payment of pensions. It was understandable that he didn't know that Yu Hao had established an escort agency.
This made Zhu Song feel relieved. He didn't expect that this boy Yu Hao had such foresight.
The prince on the side was so angry that he gritted his teeth. It was clearly his duty to distribute the pension, but Yu Hao robbed him of it, causing him to spit out the money he received.
Not only did he lose hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in vain, he also allowed Yu Hao to register as a bodyguard and escape the disaster.
He hated why Yu Hao was so lucky, as if he had divine help no matter what he did.
Zhang Sunxiao obviously didn't give up, and continued: "So what if you set up a bodyguard bureau? Did you build the wall of that manor like a city wall with the intention of treason?"
Since being attacked by bandits, Yu Hao has reinforced the walls of the manor. Although they are still made of wood, they look quite majestic from the outside.
In addition, the walls are guarded by guards armed with divine arm crossbows, and it is almost like a city wall.
Yu Hao said angrily: "Don't blame me all the time. What's wrong with me repairing the wall? I have money. I want to repair it however I like. Do you care?"
This old guy really can't get enough of the grapes and says the grapes are sour. He's so lenient.
"You..." Zhang Sunxiao gritted his teeth in anger, but there was nothing Yu Hao could do.
The original plan was to use Yu Hao to recruit guards to put Yu Hao to death, but now it seems that this plan has been ruined.
"Well, it's all a misunderstanding. Since Yu Hao has already established a bodyguard agency, it does not violate my laws and regulations. The Prime Minister will not embarrass Yu Hao anymore." Zhu Song said with a smile, but he was very proud in his heart.
Seeing Yu Hao slapping Changsun Xiao into silence, Zhu Song felt secretly happy.
"Damn Yu Hao, your fate is really great."
As soon as these words came out, Princess Jianyang suddenly showed a disappointed expression.
At this moment, the prince suddenly stood up and said: "Brother-in-law, I almost forgot if I didn't tell you. My brother-in-law has recently made so much money in the name of imperial paper. Should I donate some to the country to repay the emperor?"
What about eh?"
