Chapter 360: The Emperor's Travel
After Fang Shaoshi invited these soldiers to drink wine and eat meat in the tavern, he returned to his residence with great satisfaction.
It's free.,It's enjoying this kind of life now.,Although his status is not high.,But in front of his fellow clansmen, he is really a big man.。
Lying on the comfortable wooden bed made by human craftsmen, recalling the affairs of the day and those women, my heart is stirred.
Wang Lang slowly put down the book and said, "Did Fang Shaoshi go to the prisoner camp today?" ”
In the dark, Lu Yi said respectfully: "Go." ”
"But there's something out of the ordinary."
Lu Yi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, that guy just found a few female dragons, and it is estimated that he has been depressed here for the past few years." ”
Wang Lang suddenly smiled when he heard this: "This is also human nature, what else?" ”
"Also, the guy seems to be going to take a captive out of the camp and give the man a name."
Wang Lang was silent for a while and said, "Don't worry about him in this matter, if he wants those female dragons, he will also agree to his request." ”
"Your Majesty, what should I do if I have bad intentions when I am young?" Lu Yi said worriedly.
"No, what it does is already its race, and it is safest to stay with humans, and its future role is the same as yours, except that you are monitoring the country, and it is responsible for penetrating deep into the enemy's interior, and only it can do this." Wang Lang said slowly.
Lu Yi nodded and said, "Your Majesty, this guy has always been of an alien race, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will serve us wholeheartedly." ”
"Isn't there still your brocade guard?"
Lu Yi was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "The minister understands." ”
"Alright, you go down!" Wang Lang waved his hand.
"Yes!" Lu Yi bowed back, and the study was silent again, except for the crackling sound of the oil lamp.
Wang Lang leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh of exhaustion.
After more than ten years of hard work, he finally brought mankind to this point, and he found that he was becoming darker and darker, and he was no longer the panicked teenager in a strange world more than ten years ago.
Walking to the window, the bright moonlight sprinkled on the earth, and there were a few insect chirps, making the night seem very quiet and peaceful.
In the dim courtyard, Wang Lang saw a figure walking around the courtyard and frowned.
"Why don't you go to bed yet?" Wang Lang said slowly.
When the figure heard this, he got up and said to Wang Lang: "Your Majesty, I'll see how these vegetables grow, the vegetables grown here are all your favorite dishes, you have been too tired recently, I plan to stir up some side dishes for you tomorrow." ”
Wang Lang's heart warmed, "I have a heart!" ”
"I'm your wife, and that's what I'm supposed to do."
"Don't be busy, rest early, these dishes can't run away here, I'm saying that there will be vegetables delivered in the imperial dining room every day, and you don't need to grow these things yourself!"
Fanxing wiped his hands, slowly walked to Wang Lang's side, and said, "I'm also bored, since you became the emperor, our sisters haven't been out of the palace for several years, so we can only grow some vegetables to pass the time." ”
Wang Lang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's hard for you." ”
Fanxing smiled: "It's not embarrassing to say anything, Your Majesty is busy for the great cause of our human race, and we can't help, as long as I don't make trouble, I'll be satisfied." ”
Wang Lang held Fanxing in his arms and whispered: "Now that the war is over, there is no threat to the Xia Kingdom for the time being, so let's take you to the place where we used to live in a few days to see how it is." ”
Fanxing asked suspiciously, "Where did you live?" Which place? ”
Wang Lang smiled: "Where else can there be, that is, the place where we met for the first time, and I don't know what has become of it." ”
Hearing this, Fanxing said in surprise: "Your Majesty, are you telling the truth?" ”
"Of course it's true, I'm also tired after the hard work of the past few years, so it's good to go out for a walk."
But a few days later, at the court meeting, when Wang Lang put forward this suggestion, he immediately came to the opposition of Kong Er, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
"Your Majesty, there is more than two months away from the capital, and the cost on this way is comparable to that of a large army, and the country has no money now!"
The corners of Wang Lang's mouth twitched, and he said secretly: "As an emperor, he can't even get the money to go out for a trip, and a few days ago he swore to his own woman that if he can't go, it will make him lose face." ”
"Kong Aiqing, is there no other way?" Wang Lang asked in a slower tone as much as possible.
"No, Your Majesty, the country is now in the stage of resuming production, money is being used everywhere, and there is really no extra money and food to operate." Kong Er said firmly.
Wang Lang sighed and said, "Isn't it okay to bring fewer guards?" ”
As soon as the words fell, before Kong Er could speak, Lin Huo, the secretary of the military department, immediately got up and said, "Absolutely not." ”
He arched his hand and continued: "Your Majesty, you are the emperor, your safety is not only related to the fate of the Xia Kingdom, but also to the fate of mankind. ”
With these two scholars taking the lead, all civil officials rose up to dissuade Wang Lang from canceling this ridiculous idea.
Wang Lang pinched his beard irritably, gritted his teeth and said, "In this case, how about I spend money from my internal money?" ”
"This..."
Ministers, you look at me, I look at you, and for a while they all focused their eyes on Kong Er.
"Your Majesty, the money and grain from the treasury are used to repair the palace and maintain the palace, if you take out this money, the money for repairing the palace will be taken from He, and if taxes are levied, how will the people survive." Kong Er continued to retort.
Wang Lang smiled: "How about the palace not need to be repaired within ten years?" ”
Seeing that Wang Lang was determined to go out, Kong Er had no choice but to sigh and say, "Since Your Majesty insists on doing so, the minister has no objection." ”
When the officials saw it, Kong Er, who was in charge of the money and grain, agreed, and they naturally had no opinion.
The matter of travel is left to the ministries.
Since the matter of travel has been decided, it has become a trouble to choose those officials to accompany the emperor to travel together, and the officials of various ministries want to arrange their own people to go over, this is an opportunity to show their faces by the emperor's side, as long as they behave well, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be in the emperor's heart.
After more than ten days of busy preparations, the honor guard of more than 5,000 people finally set off.
When the people of Yancheng heard that the emperor was traveling, they put down their work and rushed outside the city to greet this god-like existence in their hearts.
The various ministries stayed in the capital to deal with political affairs, and the defense force of the capital was handed over to Lin Shupi to be responsible, which is to divide the benefits of power, if all the things are left to the emperor to do alone, then those emperors since ancient times are estimated to be exhausted.
The safety of the emperor was entrusted to Heishi, who was already in his forties, and this old minister, who had followed him since the migration years, was now gray-haired, but his body was still quite tough, and he was still in shape when he rode on a giant deer.
The team moved forward slowly, Wang Lang sat in the car, looking at the large farmland outside through the car window, and his heart was agitated.
This is the country that he built with his own hands, and what was once a wild land has become ten thousand acres of fertile land, and mankind is no longer afraid of those wild beasts.
Fanxing and Wang Lang's daughter Wang Lan sat in the car and looked at this beautiful scenery curiously, for this ten-year-old little princess, at this time he walked out of the palace for the first time, she was not like her brother who could play at will, she didn't know why her father treated men and women so differently, at this moment she also wanted to run freely like her brother riding a giant deer in front.
Wang Lang's second son, Wang Haichang and Wang Lang are very similar, although they are only more than ten years old, they are quite tall, riding on a giant deer, like a general.
"Uncle Shi, look at my riding skills!" Wang Hai came to Heishi's side and said proudly.
Heishi nodded and said, "The second prince's riding skills have improved rapidly, and he is worthy of being the son of His Majesty." ”
"What about my eldest brother?" Wang Hai asked expectantly.
"It's still far from it!" Blackstone said truthfully.
Wang Hai pursed his lips when he heard this: "Big brother is so powerful, I guess I won't want to surpass him in this life." ”
Heishi just shook his head and smiled, he didn't answer Wang Hai's words, the emperor's family affairs, even if he was a minister of the elders, it was not good to interfere too much.
At this time, Wang Hai suddenly said: "Uncle Shi, why didn't Cai Ling follow!" It's been a long time since I've seen her. ”
Heishi smiled: "The emperor travels, how can the little girl come with her, I cried for a while for this before." ”
Wang Hai looked a little depressed when he heard this, and said, "Sister Cailing wouldn't be so boring if she came. ”
"The little girl also misses the second prince very much!" Heishi looked at Wang Hai with a smile.
Wang Hai's eyes suddenly turned red when he looked at Heishi, and he quickly changed the topic and said, "Uncle Shi, where are we going!" ”
"Your Majesty's former home!"
"Father's house?"
Heishi nodded and said, "I haven't been there either, I heard that it was the place where His Majesty and the Empress met for the first time." ”
Wang Hai looked into the distance, his eyes were full of curiosity, he was born in the age of affluence, and he couldn't imagine what his father's home was like.
At the same time as Wang Lang's trip, the policy of disarmament was also officially implemented.
In accordance with the previously established programme, disarmament is limited to the Army.
When the disarmament document was sent to the army, although the officers were very reluctant to reduce their ranks, after all, this was a matter that God had explained, and the soldiers were extremely excited to say that they could be disarmed and returned to the field.
After being so many soldiers, they were finally able to reunite with their families, and this day was even more exciting for them than the New Year.
Soldiers who know each other get together to imagine their life after retirement, and the time in the army will be a precious memory for their lives.
Zhou Xiong was the most middle-level officer to avoid the fate of being dismissed, when those familiar subordinates, in the barracks packed their bags and prepared to return home, he was really a little reluctant in his heart, these brothers who depended on each other and lived and died together were his relatives for him.
The soldiers looked at Zhou Xiong and said with a smile: "Mr. General, we are going home." ”
Zhou Xiong nodded, patted the soldier on the shoulder, and said slowly: "Work hard after you go back, don't do illegal things, don't embarrass our battalion, otherwise you won't need the official to arrest you, Lao Tzu will cut you first." ”
"Hehe, Mr. General, don't you still believe us, I plan to farm and have a few more cubs when I go back, but if you come to Dingyuan City, you must find me, I invite you to drink."
One of the soldiers laughed.
"Good! Good! Zhou Xiong choked up a little.
"Idiot, what are you going to do?" Zhou Xiong asked a relatively wooden soldier.
"I want to learn from those craftsmen, and maybe become a carpenter in the future!" The nerd said slowly.
Everyone looked at the nerd in surprise, and a soldier teased: "Okay, idiot, I can't imagine that you still have this idea, I can't see it, carpenter is a good craft, and you will not have to worry about food and clothing after learning this life." ”
The nerd scratched his head when he heard this, and he smirked.
The barracks everywhere are staging this scene of parting, those who remain are carefully selected elite soldiers, watching the former comrades-in-arms leave the camp one by one, the military camp of Nuoda seems a little deserted.
Wang He sent away a group of comrades-in-arms and returned to the barracks with some melancholy.
Then Black Horn opened the tent and walked in with a jar of wine, and said, "What's the matter, you're downcast." ”
Seeing that the person who came was Heijiao, Wang He hurriedly got up and said, "Uncle Hei, why are you here?" ”
Heijiao grinned and found a place to sit down and said, "Have a few drinks with my uncle!" ”
Wang He hesitated and said, "Uncle Hei, it is forbidden to drink alcohol in the army. ”
Hei Jiao waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's okay, it's very sad for everyone to leave, brothers, today is a special exception." ”
Wang He nodded, took the wine jar and found two large bowls, filled the wine, picked up one bowl and said, "Uncle Hei, I respect you!" ”
"Good boy, come! Dry! ”
After speaking, the two wine bowls collided and drank it all.
Wang He snorted and said: "Uncle Hei, although I understand what my father means by doing this, but after getting along with those brothers for so long, this suddenly left the emptiness in my heart." ”
Heijiao patted Wang Hedao: "Your Majesty, this is also helpless, the population of our Xia country is already small, don't look at the army in the past few years, the food is good, it is all because the people have tightened their belts to save it, not to mention that the brothers are also homesick." ”
"Home? I haven't been home for four or five years. Wang He muttered.
"You're almost fifteen years old this year!" Blackhorn asked.
Wang He nodded and said, "It's sixteen after the New Year!" ”
"Sixteen, you can be regarded as an adult, Your Majesty was not much older than you back then, and he took us out of the jungle, at that time I couldn't imagine that we could have today, and it was difficult at that time." Black Horn sighed.
Wang He nodded and said, "Father is a hero of the human race, I estimate that it will be difficult to reach his height." ”
Heijiao shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is also a human, not a god, you are his eldest son, Your Majesty once said that one generation is stronger than the next, and your achievements will surpass Your Majesty's in the future, after all, the future belongs to your young people, and now it is estimated that there will be no major war for a long time, and your experience in the army is almost the same, and you should be filial piety by Your Majesty's side." ”
Wang He didn't know why Heijiao was saying this to himself, and he was very puzzled.
This is the black horn getting up and preparing to leave.
"Uncle Hei, is this leaving?" Wang He hurriedly got up and said.
Heijiao nodded, and walked towards the outside of the tent as if he was drunk, and when he left the tent, Heijiao said casually: "Your Majesty has gone to the north, and I went with the second prince." ”
After saying that, he walked out of the tent.
Wang Heleng stood in place, savoring the meaning of Heijiao's words, his eyes narrowed.
