Chapter 21: Circle Chairs
For a period of time after that, whether it was the Imperial Palace or Luoyang.
As soon as the affairs were met, Liu Xie let go of Yuwen Chengdu, Jia Xu, Wang Yun and others.
As an emperor, you just need to take care of everything.
As for specific affairs, let your subordinates do it.
Liu Xie understands this very well!
As for himself, he recruited a few carpenters in Luoyang and was busy in the palace all day long.
He wanted to make benches, chairs, etc.
This kind of thing, which was commonplace in later generations, is enough to change the way of life of all people in this era.
The most important reason is that Liu Xie doesn't want his knees to hurt anymore...
…
Harem.
In the emperor's imperial garden, there are several old people who are not young.
These people are all carpenters who have been in Luoyang City for half their lives.
At this moment, they were pointing around a freshly made wooden hoop chair.
According to the wishes of His Majesty the Emperor, they made this strange thing, but they don't know what it was for.
"Lao Zhang, are you sure we didn't do anything wrong with this thing?
How awkward the old man looks, don't displease His Majesty at that time! ”
In the crowd, a gray-haired old man carefully looked at the circle chair, and reached out to touch it from time to time.
"Blind worry!"
Another old man named Lao Zhang glanced at the person who spoke: "The old man has been making woodware for decades, have you ever missed it?"
If you don't know it, don't talk nonsense, everyone is a craftsman with an identity, and you have to be responsible when you speak! ”
This person is obviously a very prestigious presence in this group.
As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him couldn't help but nod secretly.
The old man who spoke before couldn't hold his face, so he blushed and glared and said, "Lao Zhang, you know how to raise a bar with me in your life!"
Since you have seen a lot of thoughts, then tell everyone, what is this thing for? ”
"Humph......"
Lao Zhangtou snorted lightly and made a lonely look.
In the expectant eyes of everyone, he coughed lightly and said:
"This is a heavenly opportunity that cannot be revealed, Your Majesty's thoughts, even if we grass people, even if we understand, we can't say it!
Otherwise...... Doesn't it seem that we are smarter than Your Majesty? ”
As soon as these words came out, there was silence all around, and everyone looked like they suddenly realized.
"What? Want to know more? Lao Zhang squinted his eyes and glanced at everyone, especially the old man who spoke before for a while.
The crowd remained silent......
Showing off your cleverness in front of His Majesty the Emperor is the rhythm of looking for death.
Those old guys who have lived for most of their lives naturally understand this truth.
Even the old man who had spoken first before remained silent.
Compared to His Majesty, I don't know that it should be an honor!
When I think about it like this, I feel a little proud!
"How? Everything is ready? ”
At this time, Liu Xie's voice came from behind him.
Everyone immediately turned around and knelt down in front of Liu Xie: "The grass people wait to see Your Majesty!" ”
"Get up......"
Liu Xie's gaze stayed on the finished chair.
With a slight lift, he came to the side of the chair and looked up and down: "Well, not bad......
Immediately, Liu Xie turned around and sat on the chair.
Leaning firmly on the back of the chair, he gradually relaxed: "This is worthy of my identity!" ”
"This ......"
The crowd, led by Lao Zhangtou, looked at Liu Xie in shock.
They've lived so long, and they've never seen anyone sit like this.
And this thing is made by their own hands!
"Lao Zhang, what you said is right! This is a heavenly opportunity......"
……
……
The next day.
Deyang Hall.
Liu Xie sat on the dragon chair and swept his gaze over the hundred officials in the hall.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Luoyang has gradually settled down in recent days.
This is all thanks to you, and I am very gratified!
Today, I want to show you something.
This thing can solve your troubles for many years, and it can change our lives, which can be said to be beneficial and harmless! ”
As soon as Liu Xie's words came out, there was an uproar in the hall.
All the ministers looked at each other, not understanding what Liu Xie was talking about.
"I don't know what kind of trouble Your Majesty is talking about, can solve the problems of ministers and others?"
Situ Wang Yun was the first to get up and said with a smile.
The ministers around also stopped talking and looked at Liu Xie one after another.
"You have been kneeling all year round, do you have a stubborn problem in your knees?
But when it comes to rainy weather, it hurts? ”
As soon as Liu Xie's words fell, there was another commotion in the hall.
Most of them had their heads bowed and their knees stared.
"I don't know where this miraculous thing Your Majesty is talking about, can you allow the ministers to open their eyes?"
Jia Xu also got up, and arched his hand very expectantly.
Jia Xu, who has seen Coke and French fries, is looking forward to what Liu Xie said more than anyone else.
"Wang Lang!"
Seeing that everyone's appetite was satisfied, Liu Xie turned his head to look at Wang Lang beside him and spoke.
Forthwith.
With Wang Lang's wave, several eunuchs carried the circle chairs they had made before and slowly walked up to the main hall.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by this strange thing.
"Is this what Your Majesty is talking about?
It doesn't seem out of the ordinary! ”
"yes, it's really that magical?"
"I think it's hanging, such a thing can't be like what Your Majesty said, I'm afraid Your Majesty is bragging..."
"Shhhh Be careful!! ”
The chair was placed in the center of the hall, and the surrounding chatter was heard one after another.
Among the ministers, only Jia Xu frowned and was silent.
Though he didn't see what was so magical about it.
"Your Majesty, this ......" After a moment, Jia Xu took the lead in asking.
"Who of you would like to sit down?" Liu Xie smiled and pointed to the chair.
"Sit?" Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, then bowed respectfully to Liu Xie, and then came to the chair.
After looking up and down carefully, he was still puzzled.
"Wang Situ, why don't you go and sit down first!"
Seeing that everyone was still puzzled, Liu Xie decided to let people try it first.
"Your Majesty!"
This time, Wang Yun didn't get up immediately.
"Lao Chen has followed the ancestral system all his life, and he doesn't dare to cross the thunder pool half a step in everything!
So please forgive your majesty, the old minister can't change the rules left by the ancestors!
It is impossible to sit on that thing, even if the old minister's knees are rotten, it is impossible to sit! ”
Wang Yun resisted strongly, and even Liu Xie was a little surprised.
It's just a matter of asking him to sit in a chair, and he will be so excited.
However, his orders will never allow anyone to refuse!
"Is Wang Situ going to resist the decree?" Liu Xie's expression became gloomy.
Seeing that he seemed to have provoked His Majesty, Wang Yun's body was also shocked.
Before he had a chance to think carefully, Wang Lang led someone to forcibly pull Wang Yun to the chair.
"No...... The old minister must not sit, and the rules of the ancestors cannot be broken!! ”
"No ......".
"It's so comfortable......" Wang Yun, who was sitting on the circle chair just now, naturally leaned his body on the back of the chair and looked relaxed......
