Chapter 107: The Heart Remains the Same

The early dynasty has ended, and the ministers have left the palace, and at this moment Zhao Chen took Li Gang to the Qianqing Palace!

Lin Bao followed Zhao Chen's side, and had been quietly observing the movements and eyes between Zhao Chen and Li Gang!

Zhao Chen had just entered the palace, and immediately the two jet-black puppies pounced! After a month, the puppy has grown a lot, almost a foot long! Because Zhao Chen feeds them every day, they are extremely attached to Zhao Chen! At this moment, they pounced at Zhao Chen's feet, and Zhao Chen gently stroked them with his hand!

"Teacher, these two puppies are so cute!" Zhao Chen stroked the puppy while smiling at Li Gang.

"Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, how can you raise dogs in the harem for fun?" Li Gang frowned.

"These are all brought to me by Xiaolinzi! I love it! Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"You, a eunuch, actually instigated Your Majesty to be lustful, you really deserve death!" Li Gang glared at Lin Bao angrily and said.

"Your Majesty is busy with state affairs every day, and occasionally relax and have fun, that's also how it should be!" Lin Bao bowed his head and said.

"That's it! Teacher, don't blame him, Xiaolinzi is all for my good! I'm very happy with what he did! Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty! You can't! You keep dogs in the palace, you went out hunting the other day, and I heard that you learned carpentry from a carpenter, how can this be? Is this still the emperor? Has there been an emperor who worked as a carpenter since ancient times? Li Gang said bitterly!

He didn't know whether Zhao Chen was willing to fall or show weakness to the enemy, but no matter what, he had to remind Zhao Chen that Zhao Chen must not indulge in these things!

"Haha! Teacher, when you talk about carpentry, I'll show you something! Come on, bring me that table! Zhao Chen laughed.

Immediately two guards went to the back, and after a while, two guards came out carrying a boxy table! This table is made very exquisitely, and the legs are carved with countless patterns, which is very beautiful! The table top has also been carefully processed and is very smooth, but there is no paint on it, and it is still a pure solid wood structure!

"Teacher, this is the table I made with Master Wang Pu, and this is the most perfect work I have ever made! Do you like it? Zhao Chen pointed to the table in front of him and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, don't do that!" Li Gang said sadly.

"Today, I'm going to eat at this table with my teacher! Come on, let's get ready for dinner! Zhao Chen said outside.

Immediately someone stepped forward, and they first spread a thick cloth on the table, and after a while, countless dishes were brought up by the guards!

"Teacher, please be seated!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.

He had already sat down first, and Li Gang had no choice but to sit down!

"Your Majesty, I still want to persuade you! You are the Son of Heaven and cannot do these things! Li Gang said.

"I just like to do these things? So what to do? Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven, must control yourself and not allow yourself to do whatever you want!" Li Gang said.

Lord Li said with a smile, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, so naturally he does whatever he wants, and he can do whatever he wants! Otherwise, is that still the Son of Heaven? Lin Bao said with a smile on the side.

"You damn eunuch, it's all your demagoguery! Your Majesty, I ask you to give an order to kill this eunuch! Li Gang stood up abruptly, angry.

"The teacher sat down and talked! Kobayashi is also a very good person, you haven't dealt with him, so I don't know! Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, how could you say such a thing......" Li Gang said in disbelief.

At this moment, he had already sat down, and at this moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his feet! A stunned expression appeared on Li Gang's face, but this stunned expression disappeared in an instant!

"In the future, after you come back from Chencang County, I will let you and Xiaolinzi get along well for a few days! Then you will know how dedicated he is! Zhao Chen spoke casually while stepping on Li Gang's foot with his foot!

His toes are moving gently, slowly "writing" on his toes!

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, there have been many things about trusting eunuchs and defeating the country, you have to be careful!" Li Gang felt the words written by Zhao Chen while talking at the moment! He slowly discerned in his mind!

The thick cloth on the table covered their legs and feet, so it was difficult for Lin Bao to see under the table even if he was standing on the sidelines! At this moment, in Lin Bao's opinion, the two are just talking! Hearing "trust the eunuch and defeat the country", Lin Bao's face appeared with a look of anger and humiliation!

"Chencang is not very far from Hanzhong! If I have time, maybe I'll go to see you in Chencang! Zhao Chen said.

At this moment, two words had been written on his feet: "No change!" He wrote several times in succession to confirm that Li Gang could distinguish these two words!

"Yes! Wechen is looking forward to His Majesty's arrival in Chencang! Li Gang said.

At this moment, Li Gang has also recognized the word "unchanged", but he is still not sure what "unchanged" is!

"After you arrive in Chencang, you can't forcibly occupy people's land and rob people's daughters like now!" Zhao Chen was laughing while still writing with his feet!

"Your Majesty, Wechen didn't do anything like that! Besides, Weichen is not a crazy person, he would fall in love with such a woman! Li Gang said.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about these things today! When you arrive in Chencang County, if you find anything interesting, send it to me! Zhao Chen smiled again.

His feet are still writing softly!

"Your Majesty, Weichen can't let you be obsessed with lustful dogs and horses!" Li Gang replied absentmindedly!

At this moment, all of Li Gang's attention is on the words written by Zhao Chen!

After a long while, Li Gang understood what Zhao Chen was writing now, which was the word "original heart"! The "unchanged" before the connection is "the original heart remains the same"!

"The heart remains the same! The heart remains the same! Your Majesty is telling me that his heart remains the same! He's still the same person he used to be! He is still the one who fled Kaifeng with me, suffered all the way, and vowed to recover the Central Plains and drive out the Tartars! Your Majesty, his heart remains the same, he still has to fight with Zhe Keqiu, he still has to fight with King Kang and the Jurchens! These days, he is hunting and carpentering, just to be paralyzed and begged! ”

"Although Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven and the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, I am nominally the only one, but in fact, Your Majesty cannot do anything autonomously! Under the oppression of Zhekeqiu, His Majesty even had to practice himself to make Zhekeqiu relax his vigilance! ”

"Your Majesty is so well-intentioned, but I still doubt Your Majesty! I'm damned! ”

For a while, Li Gang was excited and guilty! Thinking of Zhao Chen's good intentions, thinking that Zhao Chen did not hesitate to practice himself to let his vigilance down, Li Gang felt that his heart was not good! The young man in front of him, he was originally the most noble existence in the world, but now this young man does not hesitate to become the object of ridicule of the world in order to control his own destiny! In an instant, Li Gang felt that his eyes were a little wet!

"Your Majesty...... You...... You ......" Li Gang had forgotten what Zhao Chen was talking about, and said a little choked at the moment.

"Teacher, I know that you admonish me for my own good! Don't worry, I'll do what you say! In the future, I will do less carpentry work and go out hunting less! When the time comes, I must be a good emperor of the Great Song Dynasty! Zhao Chen smiled.

"Yes! Your Majesty must do this! Li Gang controlled his mood and said.

"That's it! Hurry up and eat! After eating, I will personally send you out of Hanzhong! Zhao Chen said.

"Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty! Li Gang said.

Then the two began to concentrate on eating and never spoke again! During this period, Lin Bao had been standing aside and quietly observing the two, and seeing that Li Gang didn't say anything special, he secretly put his mind at ease!

Waiting until noon, Zhao Chen personally Song Li Gang went out of the city!

Li Gang has a valuable status, he used to be the prime minister, and he has a very high reputation in the whole world, so when Zhao Chen sent Li Gang out this time, those guards did not stop him! The reality is that the guards have already received the orders they want, so they are allowed to go without incident!

Outside Hanzhong City, Zhao Chen took Li Gang's hand and said, "Teacher, I won't send it anymore!" When you arrive in Chencang County, send me a letter! Later...... I have to ask the teacher for state affairs! ”

The last sentence Zhao Chen said was extremely solemn, almost word by word!

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen will never let Your Majesty down!" Li Gang is categorical!

"Very well, please!" Zhao Chen sighed softly and said.

Li Gang knelt down and bowed to Zhao Chen three times and nine times, and then he got up and sat in a carriage, he was escorted by more than a dozen soldiers of the Zhejia Army and headed towards the north, and gradually no one was visible!

"Let's go! Let's go to Changchun! Zhao Chen said with a smile.

On this day, Zhao Chen stayed in Changchun for another afternoon, and only returned to the palace in the evening!

*** ***

For a period of time afterward, Zhao Chen was still addicted to carpentry!

He followed Wang Pu to learn carpentry, and his skills became more and more sophisticated! Gradually, Zhao Chen was able to use wood to make only some small toys and small animals!

By the time of October 20th, Zhao Chen was in the early court again!

In the imperial court, Zhao Chen did not discuss state affairs with these ministers, but distributed these small toys and small animals to the hands of those ministers!

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of the utensils I made?" Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"These artifacts made by Your Majesty are extremely exquisite, even if it is Lu Ban's regeneration, they can't compare to Your Majesty!" Zhe Keqiu was the first to stand up and said.

"The utensils made by His Majesty are extremely exquisite, and Weichen wants to offer him at home and pay homage to him every day!" Han Ping Dao in the Imperial History.

"These things are extremely secondary! Your Majesty can make such a delicate artifact, Weichen admires! Wei Ming, a close confidant who could ask for it, said.

"Weichen is also admired until!"

"The five-body throw that Weichen admires!"

"Your Majesty has done a really good job!"

……

The ministers stood up one after another and praised Zhao Chen's excellent works!

"What I've done isn't very good, at least not as good as Master Wang Pu! As for what Lord Zhe said about surpassing Luban, this is even more of a joke! I still need to improve my skills! Lord Zhe, there is a lack of good wood in this palace, you go and find me some thousand-year-old rosewood and huanghuali! The more the merrier! Zhao Chen said.

"Wechen will do this immediately after he retires from the court!" Fold and seek the way.

Rosewood and Huanghuali are extremely valuable woods, but there is no hesitation at this moment! He wished that Zhao Chen studied carpentry every day and really became a carpenter! In order to achieve this purpose, he would rather send all the best timber in the country to Zhao Chen!

"That's it! Go ahead and discuss state affairs! I want to go back immediately and continue to learn carpentry from Master Wang Pu! Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty is so attentive, the things you will do in the future will definitely become more and more exquisite! Weichen and others send your majesty! Zhe Keqiu knelt down and said loudly.

Seeing Zhe Keqiu kneeling down, those ministers knelt down one after another!

At this moment, Zhao Chen seemed to be impatient to go back to study carpentry, and he trotted out of the court!

Watching Zhao Chen leave, a mocking smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Your Majesty is gone, let's continue to discuss state affairs!" We will spend more than half of this year's taxes on the newly recruited army, and the ministers' salaries will be reduced slightly! I wonder if you agree? ”

Han Ping immediately said: "Lord Zhe is for state affairs, in order to deal with the Jurchen Tartars and King Kang's traitors, so I have to recruit troops and spend silver taels!" Naturally, we agree with Ori-sama's idea! ”

At that moment, one by one, the ministers stood up again and agreed with the concession, not to mention it!
