Protect Our Patriarch - Chapter 486
[Chapter 80 The Great Emperor VS Shouzhe!]
…
In the palace, Xiyuan Lake.
The overall shape of this lake is close to a circle, with a wide surface and an average diameter of a hundred miles. From a distance, there is a sense of vastness.
It is like a pearl inlaid in Guilong City, but it is enclosed by the huge city wall of the palace and becomes the private “water pond” of Emperor Longchang.
Inside the palace, there are lakes and mountains, which shows its large scale.
Within the area of Xiyuan Lake, the aura of water movement is extremely abundant. When the aura gathers, it condenses into a spiritual mist that is visible to the naked eye. When the wind blows, a piece of fluttering smoke gauze clouds are formed on the lake, as if one fell into the world. The fairy lake is general.
There are a lot of hydrophilic lofts built by the lake, and the buildings are grand and magnificent, showing the style of the imperial family.
Such a huge building complex was named “Linhu Xiaozhu”, which shows that the taste of Emperor Longchang was not good.
In front of the hydrophilic loft.
Emperor Longchang, who was dressed in casual clothes, was playing with an exquisite lure pole at the moment.
The long fishing line was thrown out for miles and miles, and he swung it skillfully, shaking the lure, his swimming style was cheap, as if he was saying “Quickly” to the carnivorous fish in the lake. Come and eat me~ Come and eat me”.
Full of delusional meaning.
Suddenly.
The tip of the rod sinks downward.
“I hit it!”
Emperor Longchang was so happy, he slammed the pole, and he really hit a big fish.
He happily began to reel in immediately.
“Your Majesty.” At this time, Lao Yao walked over with small steps and reported in a low voice, “Wang Shouzhe has brought it and is waiting outside Xiaozhu. Do you want to announce…”
“Let him wait.” Longchang The emperor didn’t even lift his head, “I’m busy fishing.”
Lao Yao rolled his eyes secretly.
Your Majesty, you really want to see Wang Shouzhe, even at the expense of all kinds of explicit hints, and after your failure, you specifically ordered him to come over “immediately”.
As a result, now people are coming, but they have to hang out… This is not good.
“What? As a great emperor, I am
so angry that I can’t let him hang for a long time?” Emperor Longchang snorted coldly, “Don’t you look at what he has done? How many disturbances… …Even the emperor has been appointed to us. I really thank him!”
“Since he has entered the palace now, he is like this fatty fish biting a lure hook, and that is my meal, Fei Ye I ca
n’t fly to the sky.”
“Just because of what he did to me, I didn’t ambush him with hundreds of knives and axemen, which has already given him a lot of face.”
Emperor Longchang became more and more angry, and suddenly As soon as the fishing rod was pulled, the force was too strong, and with a “click”, the fishing rod made of polished and socketed Ziling bamboo tips broke directly.
The big fish regained his freedom, and immediately jumped out of the water, “swish” and swam out for several dozen feet, and then dragged the pole and dived to the bottom of the lake.
“This…” The corner of Lao Yao’s mouth twitched
and he exclaimed, “Could it be that His Majesty’s cultivation has reached the point of ‘according to his words’?”
Glancing at Lao Yao, “Lao Yao, don’t rely on you to serve me for a thousand and hundreds of years, and I can’t bear to slap you, so you dare to act recklessly. Do you really think I can’t hear that you are making fun of me?
” After all, I didn’t see any movement from him, but with a slight movement of his spiritual sense, he locked the spirit fish that had escaped several hundred meters away.
Immediately afterwards, the Great Emperor’s spiritual thoughts rolled and moved, and the spiritual fish weighing several hundred kilograms was supported by an invisible energy and flew to the hydrophilic platform.
The big fish still had a fishing line in his mouth, and he flicked his tail with a “ba da da da”, and looked like a “who am I, where am I, and what am I doing”.
Seeing that, the emperor was very angry.
With a slight movement of his spiritual sense, he took off the hook from its mouth, and then kicked it into the lake again in a huff.
As a senior fisherman, he naturally starved to death and didn’t bother to eat this kind of fish, not the fish he caught.
“Old Yao, call Wang Shouzhe’s servant here.” The Great Emperor Longchang said resentfully, “I want to ask, why is the quality of the lure rods produced by his family so poor? It made my fish run away.
” Yes, Your Majesty.” Lao Yao took the order and went to Xuan Wang Shouzhe with a smile in his heart.
After a short while, he led Wang Shouzhe and his fellow Anjun Wang back.
Seeing the emperor standing by the lake with his hands behind his back, with a posture of “I didn’t see you”, he secretly laughed in his heart, and could not help but quietly winked at Wang Shouzhe: “Wang Shouzhe, why don’t you meet your majesty soon?”
“Chen, Changning Sixth Grade
Shouzhe, the head of the Wang family, pays respects to His Majesty.” Wang Shouzhe folded his hands together, and bowed in a dignified and generous manner.
Prince An, who was on the side, naturally saluted as well.
Only then did Emperor Longchang turn around and glance at Wang Shouzhe.
I saw Wang Shouzhe dressed in a white robe, with a graceful demeanor, and his demeanor was as gentle as a spring breeze. If he stopped there, he would be an eye-catching landscape.
In contrast, let alone the children of the royal family, even those young men from the Dagan Wang family who were famous in the capital for their looks and bearing, were much inferior to him.
“Well, he looks okay, and his temperament is so-so. It’s rare, no wonder he can give birth to such excellent children as Li Yao and Zong An.” Emperor Longchang said against his will, “That is, when I was younger, I was a little inferior. Chip.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty, for the praise, sir, I am flattered.” Wang Shouzhe looked calm and natural.
He knew that His Majesty was not thin-skinned, so naturally he would not be surprised.
He took out large and small bags of fruits and vegetables from the storage ring [Endless Abyss], and handed them to Lao Yao next to him: “I know that Your Majesty has nothing, and I don’t know what to give. The melons and vegetables are all grown by Shouzhe in his spare time these days, so we should talk about it and express our hearts.”
Fruits and vegetables?
The old face of Emperor Longchang trembled slightly.
When you gave gifts to the emperor, you actually gave me some fruits and vegetables?
Not to mention the “leisure time” planting.
Feelings, you have traveled all the way to Guilong City, the main purpose is to grow vegetables, and then turn Guilong City upside down by the way, and determine the candidate of the emperor?
He almost couldn’t hold back, and kicked Wang Shouzhe into the lake with one kick.
Fortunately, Emperor Longchang lived for more than 3,000 years, and his energy-raising skills were okay. Now he was busy taking a deep breath to suppress the urge to kick Wang Shouzhe, and kept reminding himself.
Longchang, ah Longchang, you are a great emperor of a generation, you must have a big belly, and you must be bold, so as not to make Wang Shouzhe look down on him, and turn around and secretly “arbitrarily” the emperor behind his back.
“Okay, Lao Yao, send someone to take it to the imperial kitchen for processing, and then come back and have a drink with Shouzhe.” Emperor Longchang looked like “I am the style of the emperor, and I don’t care about you.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Lao Yao took orders.
“Come here, Shouzhe, come and sit down.” Emperor Longchang greeted Wang Shouzhe warmly, let him sit in front of a chess booth, and said kindly like an elder, “Shouzhe, you are thoughtful and clever, you must be good at chess. It is also quite superb. Come and come, you and I will learn from each other.”
Wang Shouzhe’s cheeks trembled, and he thought to himself, Your Majesty, are you kidding me?
His poor chess skills, Wang Shouzhe, have long been known to Guilong City.
Where did Emperor Longchang want to find him to learn from?
He was clearly full of resentment towards him, Wang Shouzhe, and wanted to vent his resentment, but there was no other way, so he found an excuse to play chess.
However, Wang Shouzhe couldn’t refuse the request of the emperor, so he immediately accepted: “Shouzhe takes orders.”
After that, he took a pose and began to play against Emperor Longchang.
An Jun Wang, who was on the side, looked secretly amused.
Not to mention Shou Zhe’s chess skills, at least his posture is full, and he seems to have the bearing of a peerless master.
It’s a pity that the gold and jade are out of it, and the failure is in it~~ Shouzhe,
he is purely a stinky chess basket.
as predicted.
After half a stick of incense, Emperor Longchang violently abused Wang Shouzhe with the gesture of sweeping leaves in the autumn wind.
“Cool!”
Emperor Longchang was as comfortable as he was drinking a glass of Xuanbing Immortal Wine in the scorching summer, and even the depressed feeling in his heart dissipated a lot.
Even with it, when he looked at Wang Shouzhe, he didn’t seem to be so angry, and he inadvertently pleased the eye.
“Your Majesty’s chess skills are superb, and Shouzhe is willing to bow down.”
Wang Shouzhe didn’t feel anything about losing chess. Anyway, he was used to losing.
With his chess skills, he can abuse Wang Annan and the like on weekdays.
“Shouzhe, don’t be humble, I think your chess skills are not bad, come and come, you and I will play another game.” How
can such a cool thing be gone once?
Emperor Longchang’s eyes were full of light.
Soon, the two started the second game.
After measuring Wang Shouzhe’s chess strength, the emperor played some new tricks in this game. First he pretended to lose, and then he lured the enemy to go deeper. Finally, he made a one-by-one lore, and Wang Shouzhe was stunned.
“Ouch~ Shouzhe, don’t you think you’re careless? If you’re careless, you’ll lose everything. Come, come, let’s do it again, I’ll give you a chance to make a comeback.” , also feel very high.
Naturally, it doesn’t feel much to abuse other stinky chess baskets, but it is completely different for Wang Shouzhe to abuse.
Emperor Longchang felt that even if he abused Wang Shouzhe thousands of times, he would not feel bored.
An hour has passed.
Two hours have passed…
Prince An was still watching with relish at first, but after seeing it, he began to feel sleepy. Later, he simply went out for a long walk and came back, but Emperor Longchang was still enjoying it. Pull Wang Shouzhe to play chess and abuse him.
In desperation, King An had to go out for a long time.
It wasn’t until the evening when the imperial kitchen delivered all kinds of delicious food, and Emperor Longchang, who had abused Wang Shouzhe dozens of hands one after another, stopped in a hurry.
He patted Wang Shouzhe on the shoulder: “Shouzhe, your chess skills are generally good, just a little bit worse than mine.
” Rapid growth.”
In order to find a chance to abuse Wang Shouzhe in the future, Emperor Longchang praised his chess skills against his will.
King Anjun looked at Wang Shouzhe sympathetically.
Speaking of which, Shouzhe also planned for him, so he offended His Majesty and received “revenge”.
If there is a chance, he must compensate Shouzhe well.
Soon, the royal chef and the guards set up a homely evening banquet on the hydrophilic platform.
Emperor Longchang, who abused Wang Shouzhe to the point where he felt comfortable, immediately invited Wang Shouzhe to have two drinks and asked Anjun Wang to accompany him.
Among the dishes brought by the royal chef, a small part of them were spirit melons and vegetables brought by Wang Shouzhe, while most of them were carefully prepared by the royal kitchen.
After all, it is Emperor Lingxu. Although the dishes on this table are “homely”, the cards are still full.
Emperor Longchang also specially prepared a lot of seventh-order delicious ingredients for Wang Shouzhe, as compensation for the dozens of rounds that Wang Shouzhe was abused just now.
“Shouzhe’s skill in growing vegetables is good.” Emperor Longchang ate two chopsticks of vegetables, and immediately raised his brows slightly, somewhat surprised.
Although they are ordinary spirit vegetables, and the varieties are nothing special, the taste of these spirit vegetables is a bit richer and more delicious than ordinary spirit vegetables.
“If Your Majesty likes it, Shouzhe can pay tribute to His Majesty on a regular basis.” Wang Shouzhe said modestly, “If it can be branded as tribute, these melons, fruits and vegetables will surely sell well.”
“Haha, then it’s settled.” Longchang The emperor smiled and praised, “Shouzhe, you are indeed a famous god of wealth. You can make money if you seize the opportunity. Come, come, this wine is also a tribute wine, produced by a sixth-grade family in Tianfu County.”
“Okay. Wine, good wine.”
Wang Shouzhe was not greedy for wine, he took a few sips, but he couldn’t help but admire.
Sure enough, it is an extremely rare nectar, and it is still much better than the wine that Wang’s is currently selling.
Sure enough, this world cannot be underestimated.
After all, human beings have multiplied and developed in this world for such a long time. With the accumulation of time, there are many families with various secret methods.
“If Shouzhe likes it, take some and drink it slowly.” Emperor Longchang said enthusiastically.
At this time, he behaved like an amiable “elder”, as if the person who abused Wang Shouzhe before was not him.
“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Wang Shouzhe did not refuse.
After three rounds of wine.
Chatting and chatting, the strangeness of both sides dissipated a lot.
After drinking a few more glasses of wine, Emperor Longchang’s face became even more rosy: “Shouzhe, you can tell who is the truly outstanding emperor from the two kings of Kangjun and Anjun. Gao. I drank some wine today, and there are no outsiders present, why don’t you comment on me?”
When Lao Yao next to him heard this, he couldn’t help rolling his eyes secretly.
His Majesty is as cautious as ever, this is ready to turn over the old accounts.
He quietly blinked hard at Wang Shouzhe, reminding him not to be fooled.
Wang Shouzhe is also a smart person. When he reacted, he saluted with sincerity and fear: “Your Majesty is the honor of the emperor. How can Shouzhe be able to comment on His Majesty?”
Humph!
Wang Shouzhe, you stinky boy, do you still talk about me in private?
Don’t think I don’t know, when you were in Changning Wei’s hometown, you drank a few glasses of wine with Long Wuji, didn’t you give me a thorough review from beginning to end?
The Great Emperor Longchang sneered in his heart, and muttered to himself, but on the surface he pretended to be generous and said: “It’s okay, it’s okay, I have lived for thousands of years, and I haven’t seen or heard anything? You can comment at will, I won’t let you be punished for your words.”
“Could it be that you have to wait for me to give you the next will? Hahaha~~”
“This…” The
emperor said what he said.
Wang Shouzhe was a bit pushy when it came to this.
He pondered for a while, and said, “If the minister said something badly, does Your Majesty really blame him?”
“That’s natural. I am a dignified generation of emperors, and I must be consistent in my words.” The
Great Emperor Longchang waved his hand with a “sound and powerful expression”. “, “believes what you say”, but secretly added a sentence in her heart.
Hehe~ Wang Shouzhe, you stinky boy, if it is really bad, I certainly won’t blame you.
But if you dare to talk nonsense, speak insincerely, and flatter me without principle, then don’t blame me for pulling your braids.
Hmph~~ I can give you all those words that you said in private, and I can remember them one by one~~
“Since Your Majesty has opened his mouth, Shouzhe will say something shamelessly.” Wang Shouzhe pondered for a while and said, “His Majesty is tyrannical in force, brave in combat, and is extremely good at governing the army. He has made outstanding military achievements in his life. Not only has he made great achievements on the battlefield outside the territory, but he has also competed against two empires at the same time with one enemy and two, with the strength of one country.”
“With such a talent, even if it is placed in the Shenwu Dynasty, it must be a reputable army commander, and may even be a grand marshal.”
This sounded comfortable and quite reasonable.
Emperor Longchang enjoyed Wang Shouzhe’s flattery, and was secretly happy, but at the same time he was secretly laughing.
Wang Shouzhe, ah Wang Shouzhe~~ You really are still a vulgar person, you only dare to talk about what I am wrong behind your back, and dare not say it face to face.
I will first listen to you after the flattery, and after this wave has passed, I will come to punish you for your untruth.
At that time, whether you will be rounded or flattened, you will have to listen to me.
Wang Shouzhe didn’t know the emperor’s thoughts, he paused, and continued: “Your Majesty is very good at pioneering, in the career of King’s Landing, not only has the land area more than doubled, but the population has also prospered a lot, which can be called He is a rare pioneering king.”
“It makes sense, it makes sense~” Emperor Longchang’s face was full of enjoyment, “Shouzhe, you are really my confidant, you can say more.”
“But… “Wang Shouzhe paused and continued, “Because Your Majesty is good at fighting, he strongly supported the military after he ascended the throne. From the construction of the army to the military family, a complete military system has been formed.
” With the support of the policy, he joined the army and became a military family. The family has been a soldier from generation to generation.”
“Huh?” Emperor Longchang’s face froze, “What’s wrong with this? Ordinary aristocratic families help to manage and develop places, military and military families It is a full-time military, with division of labor and cooperation, which complements each other.”
“There is indeed little problem in the general direction and strategy. However, most military and military families do not engage in production, and only rely on the defense tax, county tax, and national tax to support each other. The aristocratic family has always been generous, and over time, the number of the army has become more and more bloated. As a result, the guard tax, county tax, and even national tax collected in various places have to be allocated most of them to maintain the military expenses. Naturally, There is not much money left to govern and develop the area. Your Majesty’s move is suspected of ‘military use’.”
Emperor Longchang’s face turned black, he was about to say “Wang Shouzhe, are you teaching me to do things?”, but then he thought, didn’t he tell him to say this?
He also made a guarantee in advance so that he would not be convicted for his words.
In desperation, he had to retort with a cold face: “Shou Zhe’s words are not good. Now there are many foreign enemies, and there are also foreign battlefields that need to be guarded by the army. How can we hold down the enemy without increasing military investment?”
“Your Majesty, The extraterritorial battlefield is the common responsibility of the human race. I will not mention it for the time being. I will only talk about the Western Jin and Southern Qin. His Majesty seems to be majestic with one enemy and two. Besides, what is Your Majesty’s purpose in fighting?”
“Naturally, it is for the other party to submit to Dagan.” Emperor Longchang’s temper gradually rose, “If there is no iron-blooded army, how can we conquer them?”
“Your Majesty’s words are naturally reasonable. You can train an army and fight wars, and all the money you get is money. How can you win a war without a sufficient source of money?” Wang Shouzhe said eloquently, “Even King Kang knows that the first wave of smuggling and corruption will make more money. , and then go to the battlefields outside the territory to fight. Only in this way can the soldiers fight for their lives without fear of death and win battles again and again.”
“Wang Shouzhe, do you mean that I am inferior to the king of Kangjun?” Emperor Longchang raised his brows. up.
“That’s not true, the Great Emperor is stronger than King Kang…”
“Stronger?” The Great Emperor raised his brows.
“When the Great Emperor fights, it is often for some kind of conflict of spirit. For example, when the Great Emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty was disrespectful to the Great Emperor, he immediately launched an army to kill him until the other party issued a letter of apology, and the Great Emperor returned with a show of strength…”
“I want to ask a question.
, after our army has an advantage, why not let the Western Jin Dynasty cede land and pay indemnities? Even if they do not agree, they must make contributions every year.”
“In this way, the Western Jin Dynasty can deplete a batch of resources and national strength every year. Earn money to support the army.”
The Great Emperor Longchang’s face twitched, and he said with anger: “You know what, the border between the Western Jin Dynasty and us is full of poor places. There are neither farms nor mines. What is the use of those poor places? The Western Jin Dynasty will fight with us desperately.”
“Your Majesty, I’m just giving an example. In a word, it’s good to win the battle, right?” Wang Shouzhe said bluntly, “At least the least, it has to occupy the trade tariffs. Advantages, such as tax-free some of our special products, and use these products to enter the Western Jin Dynasty, not only can make money, but also squeeze the domestic counterparts in the Western Jin Dynasty…”
“The words of profiteers.” Emperor Longchang’s eyelids trembled a few times. Go down, and then said the truth, “We don’t have any products that are better than others. Instead, we have to prevent them from coming and affecting and destroying our business system.”
“This statement is enough to prove that Your Majesty is good at fighting but not good at internal affairs, and there is a suspicion of great success. “Wang Shouzhe told the truth.
What a great joy!
This kid actually dared to say these four words in front of him…
Emperor Longchang didn’t even spit out a mouthful of old blood, and pointed at him and said angrily: “You, you…you dare to criticize me like this?”
“Your Majesty …you asked Shouzhe to say it. Shouzhe is not good at lying.” Wang Shouzhe looked innocent, “If Your Majesty wants to stop it, then just shut up.”
“Don’t…stop.” Emperor Longchang gasped. Roughly, he said angrily, “Go on. I want to hear it. What do you think?”
“Your Majesty has chosen someone from the military and military family to be the city guard and the county guard. It is suspected that the military and politics are not separate.” Wang Shouzhe continued, “The development of a place must have full-time personnel responsible for management and governance. The responsibility of the city guard is more the military responsibility of guarding the place, rather than the city guard being the master of one guard… The city guards are all from a family of military and martial arts. They are transferred every 20 to 30 years. How can they be sincere and capable and can develop the local economy? This government structure is really absurd~”
“You, you, you mean Faint Lord?” Emperor Longchang’s face turned white and red.
“It’s not that your majesty is a scumbag. It’s just that Shouzhe thinks that only if you have the economy can you have military strength. Your majesty should give some energy to see how to develop the local economy. For example, a while ago, the governor of Longzuo County, Ankang, took it. The development plan was approached by His Majesty, but His Majesty has repeatedly pushed back because of his own goodness… This shows the contempt for the word ‘economy’.” Wang Shouzhe said seriously.
“Okay, okay~ What else?” Emperor Longchang’s eyes were spitting fire, “Speak! I order you to tell the truth!”
“Your Majesty was too majestic when he was young, but he was too kind and soft-hearted when he was old, and he was not good at governing the family. “Wang Shouzhe told the truth, “During this time, princes, county kings, and even ordinary royal families have been breaking out all kinds of ridiculous scandals. Of course, the main reason for this is that they are not upright, but in the end, Your Majesty is still responsible for lax discipline…”
“And…”
“Wait!” Emperor Longchang stretched out his hand to stop him with a flushed face.
“Does Your Majesty want the minister to shut up? The minister can take orders.” Wang Shouzhe bowed respectfully.
“No, no, I just need to slow down and take a breath.” Emperor Longchang glared at Lao Yao angrily, “Old Yao, are you blind? Didn’t you see the trauma of the soul that I suffered when I was young? What about the Anshen
Baodan
?”
“Yes, Your Majesty, hurry up and rest.” Lao Yao responded very quickly, and immediately took out a treasured pill and fed it to Emperor Longchang, then stared at Wang Shouzhe and said:
“Shouzhe, you are too ignorant. You know that there are dark wounds in your majesty’s soul, so you don’t know how to restrain yourself. Today’s comments will stop here.”
What?
Is there a dark wound in His Majesty’s soul?
Wang Shouzhe looked puzzled.
Has he never heard of this information?
“Alright, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com That’s it for today.” Wang Shouzhe cupped his hands.
Emperor Longchang breathed a sigh of relief as if he was relieved, and secretly said, if I ask you to scold you again, I will die on the spot.
He immediately pretended to be weak and said “weak”: “Thank you Shouzhe for being sympathetic. However, this does not mean that I don’t listen to people’s words. In fact, Shouzhe’s words are quite thought-provoking, and can be regarded as good words. It’s a pity, my body today… sigh~”
“If Your Majesty wants to hear it, I can write down everything I said today and compile it into a book after I go back, and Your Majesty can keep it and read it slowly.” Wang Shouzhe said “sympathetically and understandingly”. , “If necessary, Shouzhe can also go back to reunite with the lady later, and stay in Kyoto for a while. If your Majesty needs, you can call Shouzhe at any time to comment.”
I thank you!
Emperor Longchang almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
Wang Shouzhe, do you really want me to die sooner?
