Chapter 598: Ming Gaozu (Middle)
"Second brother, where are you going?"
Early the next morning, Wang Er brought money and prepared to go into the city to buy clothes, he didn't want to bump into Wang San as soon as he went out, he had to live and die together, Wang Er had no choice but to take him. Not far from the city, Wang Er suddenly made a detour to the east, and Wang San was puzzled.
Wang Er said as he walked: "Third child, if your eyes are not good, go to bed early at night to benefit your eyes." Look over there, are the soldiers standing guard? ”
"Where? Have it? Ouch, there really is! ”
Wang San stood on tiptoe and took a serious look, only to find that there were really soldiers at the end of his sight, so he hurriedly caught up with Wang Er and said, "But Er, your eyes are too good, can you still see it from such a distance?" ”
Wang Er snorted twice and did not reply.
Wang San didn't care, as if he was used to it, and then said: "Second child, you have read more books than me, and you have seen more of the world than me, give me an explanation!" ”
Wang Er wanted to ignore it, but as a brother, he also knew the temperament of his third child, if he ignored him, he would definitely be chattering in your ear like an old mother, so he said: "Do you remember the last time the king came on stage to be king?" ”
"Second brother, aren't you talking nonsense, naturally you remember."
Wang Er glanced at him and continued: "Then this time the king ascended the throne as the emperor, do you say that you also need to go on the stage to worship the sky?" ”
"Then there's no need for this, isn't the high platform already ready?" Wang San touched his mouth twice and wondered.
"Forehead ......"
Wang Er looked at Wang San like a fool.
Wang San couldn't stand this kind of look, and said angrily: "Second brother, is the eldest brother gone, do you think you are the biggest now, so you can bully me?" ”
Wang Erhao was angry to death by these words. It is said that Wang Er was originally three brothers, and there was a Wang Da above, but Wang Er and Wang San were born not long ago, well, these two are twin brothers, and then their parents died one after another, and the two brothers were raised by the eldest brother. At the age of ten, Gongsun Du led his troops westward and captured Zhuo County, Wang Da joined the army in order to support the two brothers, and the monthly military salary was used for the two brothers to go to school.
It's just that the twin brothers are just twins in the end, not exactly the same, among the two brothers, Wang Er studied hard and had good academic performance, while Wang San dropped out of school and returned home after a few years of studying. Wang Da joined the army, Wang Er wanted to study again, Wang San had no constraints, and he developed a temperament of not stingy. Later, when he was a little older, Wang Zhan died, and Wang Er, in order to take care of his younger brother, obeyed his brother's last wish and went back to the village to take care of Wang San. Over the years, not only did he use his eldest brother's pension to marry Wang San, but he also changed his bad habits a lot and became what he is now.
After that, the rest of the pension was also given to Wang San, and his wife relied on his efforts to marry back, which can be said to be admired by the villagers, but it is precisely because of this that he will live so hard. Similarly, don't look at Wang Sankou's Huahua, but I still have a lot of respect for this second brother, otherwise I wouldn't have waited at the entrance of the village yesterday and told Wang Er the news.
Seeing that Wang Er was silent, Wang San felt that he shouldn't have said such a thing, and was just about to apologize, when he heard Wang Er say: "Can being called a king the same as being called an emperor?" Therefore, the high platform built is also different, and it must be higher, depending on whether it is nine feet five or nine feet five. ”
Wang San nodded and did not speak again.
In a hurry, the two brothers turned to the east gate not long after.
When he arrived at the east gate, Wang Er found that there were many people who thought the same as their brothers, and the two brothers didn't say much, they honestly lined up in the back, and even met former classmates (it seems that Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan are classmates in the romance?). )。
into the city.
Wang Er and Wang San went straight to the cloth village where they went in the past.
As soon as he entered the store, Wang Er heard someone shouting: "Today is the time when the king is proclaimed emperor, but anyone who wants to go to pay homage can get a piece of clothing for free and congratulate him." ”
"Free?" Wang San's eyes lit up, and he thought: If you want to make clothes in the future, do you want to come to this store?
Wang Er just glanced at him and didn't say much, just walked up and said to the guy in the store: "I want to make five clothes, this is the size." After speaking, Wang Er handed out another piece of paper with a lot of words written on it. (Don't be surprised, the price of paper under Gongsun Du is really not high, not to mention particularly cheap, but ordinary people can afford it, and besides, a piece of paper can be cut into many parts to use, isn't it?) )
"Wait a minute!"
Under Wang Er's gaze, the guy took the paper and found the shopkeeper, and then the shopkeeper walked over to him.
"Do you want to make five clothes?"
"That's right!" Wang Er nodded.
The shopkeeper chuckled twice and said, "Are the guests going to wear them when the king ascends the throne?" ”
Wang Er nodded again, but did not speak.
The shopkeeper shook his head, then pointed to the dense crowd of customers in the store, and said, "Do you think it's too late?" ”
Wang Er immediately understood, his brows furrowed slightly, he hesitated, and said, "Is there a ready-to-wear that matches the size?" ”
The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother, take a look for yourself, do you see that there are children in this store at this time?" ”
Wang Er's brows furrowed even tighter.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper pulled Wang Er and walked inside.
Wang Er wanted to break free, but the shopkeeper was also a ruthless man, so he dragged him into the room in a blink of an eye.
"Brother is planning to take his family with him?"
Wang Erji understood in seconds and said, "That's right! I feel that this is an unprecedented event, and it will definitely go down in history, and it is a great honor to be able to witness it with my own eyes! ”
"Huh......"
The shopkeeper was not stupid, he immediately reacted and said, "Brother, we will take this job for you, and it is the same as the outside, all free!" If nothing else, just for the reminder of my brother, let's go with everyone in the family. ”
Wang Er had the heart to refuse, but the shopkeeper immediately said: "Brother, if you don't agree, you won't give us face, then you still don't come to our store in the future." ”
When it came to this, Wang Er was a little inauthentic if he didn't agree, nodded and said, "Okay, come to the shopkeeper's store more in the future." ”
"You're welcome!"
Such a scene not only happened on Wang Er's side, but also in the shops in Zhuoxian County, all of which were like this, the cloth village made clothes for free, the restaurant ate and drank for free, and the tea house ......
The royal palace, which is about to become a royal palace.
Xun Yu and several people jointly asked to see him, just because of the new order issued by Gongsun Du this morning.
"Great King, is this really going to invite the envoys of the Western Regions to participate in the enthronement ceremony?" Xun You expected the order they heard to be a slip of the tongue.
Gongsun Du nodded straight and said, "That's right! ”
"This ......"
Xun You pondered for a moment and said: "The countries of the Western Regions have come to ask for help, and now when they see the new establishment of the empire, I am afraid that it is difficult to feel at ease!" ”
"Troubled?"
Gongsun Du chuckled: "Then find a way to reassure him." ”
"Huh? This ......"
Not only Xun You, but the rest of the people were dumbfounded, how can this be reassuring?
Gongsun Du shook his head and said, "What are you thinking?" Do you think you can hide it from them? What the whole city knows, can they not know? Won't it look even worse when the time comes? ”
Xun You and the others were shocked, and only then did they think that they had made a mistake in their busyness, and their foreheads couldn't help but sweat coldly.
Gongsun Du saw what they were thinking, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, this matter is not a big problem, you can do this and this!" ”
"This ...... Yes, King! ”
Several people responded in unison and wanted to leave.
"Wait!"
Gongsun Du stopped them and said, "This king heard that the city is very lively today. Do you know why? ”
"As far as the ministers know, they are all congratulatory for the king!"
"Hmm!"
Gongsun Du nodded and said, "That's right, but so many people watch the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens, it's better to be careful, otherwise it will be a little unlucky for someone to be injured or trampled to death." ”
"It's my negligence, and I ask the king to surrender!"
"It's okay, as long as you arrange the sergeants and maintain order, you won't cause a riot."
"Yes, do as the king commands!"
