Chapter 489: The Beginning of Everything Is Difficult (1)
Hearing Wu Zheng say that he wanted to ask for a reward, Wu Heng couldn't help but feel a burst of weakness, and sighed: "I said junior brother!" Isn't this a good person, haven't I already given each of you 10,000 taels? ”
Wu Zheng said: "Senior brother, it's okay if you don't say 10,000 taels, I will be angry when you say this." The junior brother told them that it was 100,000 taels of silver per person! After the senior brother turned it over like this, 100,000 taels became 10,000 taels. You said that this matter is not a belly of anger, you don't know it, just because of this, those brothers of Zuo Xiaowei almost mutinied, it was the junior brother I said that it was both an oath and a curse, so it was not easy to appease them. Senior brother, are you embarrassed to mention the 10,000 taels to me? ”
"This ...... Isn't this Ma Xi's dog thing not doing things well? Besides, junior brother, you also have your faults! Who told you that the battle was over so quickly, if you could ask for another hour or two, you don't need to ...... As long as it takes half an hour, you only need to give Ma Xi that dog something for half an hour, and your bet of one million taels of silver will be settled.
So you can't rely on me for this! You are also responsible. ”
Wu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and looked at Wu Heng in surprise, this is really a tree that will die without bark, and a person who is invincible in the world without a face.
"Senior brother, what are you doing looking at me like this? Could it be that there is something wrong with me today? ”
Wu Zheng hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, Your Majesty is a hero, mighty and extraordinary, and the ministers are beyond their reach." It's just that Your Majesty's bet has not gone down, and it is also a fact that His Majesty boasted to Zuo Xiaowei about going to Haikou, so we have to appease it! Now Zuo Xiaowei's soldiers have gained face for our monarchs and ministers to fight bloodily, and I heard that this time His Majesty also won a city from the Tatars, which is a great achievement in expanding the territory! Is this 10,000 taels a little less? ”
Wu Heng was more and more empty by Wu Zheng, the Great Zhou Dynasty started from Taizong to the first emperor, which of them did not spend their whole body in the loss of land and land, this is like the curse of the martial arts man for hundreds of years, only he won back a city.
Although the land of a city is not big, it is like what Wu Zheng's kid said, this can be regarded as expanding the territory! Who has the ability to do this among the ancestors of the martial arts family several times?
It's just that he really tested Zuo Xiaowei for 100,000 taels of silver per person at once, and as soon as this precedent is opened, how will he reward other meritorious heroes in the future?
Looking at Wu Zheng, even though Wu Heng was very weak in his heart, he still stubbornly said, "What else do you kid want?" Let's talk about it first, if it's silver, my family will be poor, and you won't have to open your mouth. ”
Wu Zheng said with a smile: "Senior brother, don't worry, what the junior brother wants can't cost a few silvers, I just want to ask Your Majesty to erect a monument for the soldiers of our Zuo Xiaowei soldiers, and then send a plaque to each brother's home to show their achievements." ”
"Set up a monument and send a plaque! It's as simple as that? You kid shouldn't be trying to cheat me again! ”
"How can it! Senior brother, you also think too badly of junior brother! Don't forget that we are taught by a master, even if you don't believe in my junior brother and me, can you still not believe in the master's old man's vision? ”
Wu Heng said: "Don't say such a thing, it's the master and his old man who said that you kid has a bad stomach, and the bad things that burst out of your brain, it is a set of sets and interlocking, once you are pitted, you can't see anyone alive or dead, and you can't see the corpse." That's why his old man told me a thousand times, no matter how much I interfere with you, this kid, it is not too much. ”
"Are you sure? Master, did his old man really say that? ”
"Of course, can I still joke with Master?"
"I didn't expect that old man to talk about me here, is this conscience eaten by dogs?"
"What did you say?"
"I didn't say anything, senior brother, let's not talk about those heartfelt things, let's talk about the monument and plaque for Zuo Xiaowei's soldiers!"
Wu Heng nodded, this matter is just like Wu Zheng said, it really doesn't cost a few silver, but can they understand sending a plaque to a group of Qiu Bali monuments?
Unconsciously, the two of them had already circled around the imperial garden, and finally Wu Heng stopped in an octagonal pavilion and asked, "Little junior brother, are you sure that you are not responding to people by erecting a monument and sending a plaque to them?" ”
"Diaphragm responder? How to get back! On the contrary, the reason why I did this was to inspire them to have a sense of honor, as a soldier! How can you do it without a sense of honor? Of course, it would be better if the plaque given by the senior brother could reduce their taxes or forced labor a little. ”
"A sense of honor? What you say is so unusual, it's just a group of Qiu Ba who don't know a single big word, you only hope that they can know the shame and righteousness, junior brother, aren't you playing the piano to the cow? Besides, it's not okay for you to ask me to write a plaque for them, but do they know the words I came out? Do they know the monument that was erected? Are you afraid that this plaque will be delivered to them and burned by them as wood? ”
"Burn? Who burns what His Majesty sent? Isn't there still tax reduction and forced labor, and they are willing to burn? Brother, what are you worried about? So be it! I came out with the silver for this monument and plaque, and I only saved His Majesty with a few words! ”
"I'm not worried about how you cheated me, I'm just worried that what you and I did today will become a laughing stock in other people's mouths in the future."
Wu Zheng smiled slightly: "Didn't Senior Brother ask me to take over Zuo Xiaowei's messy beach just in the hope that I could find out a way for Senior Brother to strengthen the army?" Senior brother took this matter, but senior brother, you also have to cooperate! Is it because you will be laughed at in the future that you let go of your dreams? The senior brother wants to Zhongxing Da Zhou, why not the junior brother?
I think I am a Chinese people, but now I have become an inferior person in the eyes of Di Yi, when our ancestors were dressed in silk and satin, those guys were still drinking blood with bare buttocks! Who do they have to look down on us? Senior brother, as the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, doesn't he want to turn things around and let me return to the top of the world? ”
Wu Heng's hand hidden in his sleeve was tightly clenched into a fist, because what Wu Zheng said was exactly what he thought, for which he endured humiliation for decades, and he paid no less than Wu Zheng.
It's just that there are many things in this world that you can't achieve if you want to, and how easy is it to realize ZTE in Da Zhou?
Wu Heng looked at the sky and sighed, tired, dazed and unwilling.
"Senior brother, the two of us are at a loss to realize this wish, and what I just said is like a castle in the air. But now that you have an idea, you have to do it! Otherwise, how can you turn an idea into a reality? ”
Wu Heng smiled bitterly: "How can it be so easy to become a reality?" ”
Wu Zheng nodded: "It's not easy, but how do you know if you don't do it?" Even if our generation doesn't succeed, there are still our sons, sons don't succeed and grandchildren, as long as we muster up the courage to take a step forward, I don't want to miss the day when we don't reach the end. ”
Wu Heng looked at Wu Zheng, and suddenly laughed: "What you kid said also has some truth, I may have been too tired recently!" So...... Forget that, since you want me to write a few words for you, no problem I can write. If this matter really becomes a laughing stock, I am not the only one who is laughed at anyway. ”
Wu Zheng smiled: "That's right!" Senior brother, I don't want you to write anything complicated, just four words 'Gongchen's House' are enough, as for the front of the monument is 'National Heroes Memorial Monument' and the back is enough to write 'Immortal'. As for the silver for the plaque of this monument, it was wrapped in the junior brother. It's just that this matter of relief from forced labor and taxation ......"
