Listening to Zhu Youxiao's sentence "I am not confused", Yue Su was not only moved, but also grateful.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yue Su knelt down in front of Zhu Youxiao, and was about to kowtow, but Zhu Youxiao grabbed him and helped him up.

"Aiqing, I said a long time ago that when there are no outsiders, there is no need to make this big gift. Although you and I are called kings and ministers, I have always regarded you as a mentor and friend. Seriously, I am reluctant to let you go, but I also know that you are dedicated to the country and my country. Go with peace of mind, I will always be in charge of you, and I will always trust you. Zhu Youxiao said earnestly: "I plan to be a pair of eternal monarchs and ministers with you. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, Yue Su was moved to tears.

Zhu Youxiao patted Yue Su's shoulder, and said: "Aiqing, I will give you an oracle today, if you are in office in Henan, if someone takes you with a holy decree or dismisses you from your official position, no matter what, you can be regarded as an edict." ”

"This ......" Yue Su really didn't expect that this carpenter emperor would believe in himself so much.

"There aren't many people who can make me trustworthy, and you're one of them, and I'm sure you won't lie to me." Zhu Youxiao smiled again, took Yue Su's hand, returned to his seat and sat down, and said with a smile: "Aiqing, you won't just prepare this one story for me to tell, what other interesting stories are there?" ”

"Since the emperor likes to listen to it, the minister will tell His Majesty another story about Bao Qingtian." Yue Su came today and prepared a total of two stories, one is the story of the three people painting the tiger, and the other is the story of Bao Gong. Yue Su has watched the serial drama "Bao Qingtian", and according to the plot of the play, Yue Su started from Chenzhou to release grain. What Yuzha Sandao was tampered with by Gongsun Ce as the three swords of the imperial guillotine, the guillotine Bao Mian, the uncle of the country, the concubine horse, the corrupt officials and corrupt officials, the bully and the scoundrel, a series of seven stories were told, only to hear that the carpenter Zhu was applauding and forgetting the time.

When Yue Su finished telling the story, he clapped his hands and said, "Aiqing spoke well, much more interesting than those masters of the Guozijian." I have heard of the Baolong picture in the Northern Song Dynasty, but I have not heard the story of the three bronze guillotines, if Aiqing has these three bronze guillotines, isn't it my Yue Qingtian. ”

"I don't dare." Yue Su hurriedly bowed down and said.

"I am not a child, in the past, when you told me stories, I could hear the moral and truth. Seriously, I'd love to make you my teacher.

"I don't dare."

"Don't you dare to speak a minister, you and I have a deep affection, I don't like you to be so polite in front of you." Zhu Youxiao said, got up and took three pieces of wooden flutes, put them on the table, and said, "Aiqing, you can also go and get three pieces of wooden flutes of the same size." ”

Yue Su didn't know where to go, but according to the emperor's will, he also took three pieces of wood of the same size. At this time, I only heard Carpenter Zhu say: "Let's compare the two of us today, and outline the appearance of this dragon, tiger, and dog guillotine according to what we want in our hearts." If Aiqing's speed is faster than mine, and her appearance is better than mine's, I will give you these three bronze guillotins! ”

"Your Majesty, what you said is true?" Yue Su didn't believe his ears a little. He gave the emperor this story, in fact, he just wanted to beat around the bush and make a right to cut first and then play, the three bronze guillotines had no extravagant hopes, but only hoped to follow the words and ask for a Shang Fang sword, then thank God. I didn't expect Carpenter Zhu to be so generous, and he planned to give these three copper guillotines.

"You have no jokes!" Zhu Youxiao took out a knife, grabbed a piece of wooden lump, and said, "Aiqing, are you ready?" Here we go! ”

Yue Su didn't say anything more, hurriedly took out the knife, picked up a piece of wooden flute, and said, "Your Majesty, please!" ”

When the words landed, the two began to carve. The appearance of the dragon, tiger, and dog, both of them naturally know, but Yue Su has seen the appearance of these three bronze guillotines on TV, and he has this totem in his impression, and he naturally has the opportunity to carve it.

However, Carpenter Zhu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the second carpenter in Chinese history is not in vain. Don't look at him, he doesn't know what these three guillotines look like, but out of thin air, he also designed a shape in his mind.

A simple carved knife, in the hands of the two of them, was like a part of their bodies, and for a moment the knife flickered, splashing countless wood chips. Soon, the first faucet was completed.

Almost at the same time, the two of them picked up the second piece of wooden flute, staring intently, and continued to concentrate on sketching it. To tell the truth, in terms of carpentry skills, Zhu Youxiao is more than a step above Yue Su, and the reason why every time he carves, he is tied with Yue Su is actually because Yue Su is too much higher than Zhu Carpenter in terms of strength at hand. However, two people are only busy with this matter at night, and the other has to handle official business, and after a long time, it is inevitable that there will be a gap, don't look at Yue Su to know the appearance of the dragon, tiger, and dog guillotine, but Zhu Carpenter is often carving dragons and tigers, practice makes perfect, this is not true at all. When Carpenter Zhu finished carving the tiger's head, Yue Su was still two knives away. Carpenter Zhu put the tiger head on the table, took the third piece of wooden flute, and began to carve it.

Yue Su took a step slower, and waited until Zhu Youxiao had already started carving, and then carved the tiger head and went to get the wooden flute. The master has a move, as long as there is a link that is slow, and the next step is slow.

Zhu Youxiao's blade pointed out, the dog's head gradually appeared, it can be said that among the three guillotines, the dog's head is the easiest to carve, and after a while, the dog's head in his hand has been formed, and only three knives can be carved to complete. And Yue Su, there are still five knives left, and the victory or defeat is already clear.

But at this moment, suddenly someone outside the door said, "The old slave greets Your Majesty." ”

The sound of these words was not loud, but the two people in the Heart Cultivation Hall naturally heard it clearly, you must know that when carving, it is most taboo to be disturbed, Zhu You corrected it to the most critical moment, and at first glance was disturbed by this sound, and the strength in his hand was slightly hit.

Originally, he was quick at hand, the blade was heavy, and after cutting off the sawdust, the knife was not weakened, and it directly hit Zhu Youxiao's thumb.

"Ah......" his thumb hurt, Zhu Youxiao snorted in pain, and the dog's head that was about to be completed fell to the ground.

"Smack".

said that it was too late, and it was too fast, taking advantage of this effort, Yue Su had already carved the dog head in his hand and put it on the table. At this moment, he noticed that Zhu Youxiao's hand was scratched. "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Seeing that the emperor was injured, Yue Su hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his arms with concern and wiped Zhu Youxiao's blood.

The person who was talking outside just now also saw Zhu Youxiao's hand scratched, and this person was startled. Hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, the old slave should be damned, the dragon body is fine." As he spoke, he crawled into the hall on his knees and came to Zhu Youxiao's side.

Doing carpenter work, there will inevitably be bumps and bumps in his hands, Zhu Youxiao has long been used to it, and said, "I'm fine." As he spoke, he looked down and saw that it was Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch of Bingbi, who knelt down.

He smiled slightly and said, "Wei Qing, get up." It's not your business. ”

"The old slave deserves to die, thank you Your Majesty." Wei Zhongxian got up and said, "Let the old slave take a look at His Majesty's hand, I don't know if I need to pass on the imperial doctor." ”

"Nothing." Zhu Youxiao raised his hand for Wei Zhongxian to take a look at, and said, "There is no need to pass on the imperial doctor for such a small injury." "His injuries were not serious, just a slight scratch of the epidermis and a little bleeding.

After speaking, Zhu Youxiao turned his head to look at the three-mouth guillotine carved by Yue Su on the table, then nodded, looked at Yue Su, and said: "Yue Aiqing, it seems that this is the will of heaven, I will pass on the decree and give you three bronze guillotines." ”

"Wei Qing, you came ......just in time," he said, Zhu Youxiao pointed to the three guillotines on the table, "Send an order to the War Bureau, according to the appearance of these three guillotines, to create three copper guillotines, but this size should be made according to the size of the capable guillotine." It must be done decently, not perfunctory, and before noon tomorrow, I want to take a look. ”

"The old slave obeys." Wei Zhongxian was confused when he heard this, if he knew the use of this guillotine, and then knew that the emperor was making a bet with Yue Su just now, he would not make a noise when he said that he would die. When he later learned the truth, his intestines almost repented.

"Wei Qing, what are you looking for me?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, the cabinet has already prepared the will of Lord Yue to go out of Beijing, because the disaster is serious, I dare not delay, so I took the liberty to disturb Your Majesty." Wei Zhongxian said carefully.

"You're not wrong, don't you take matters seriously? Give me a thought, how the cabinet is drafted. Zhu Youxiao said.

"The old slave obeys." Wei Zhongxian unfolded your good will, and read aloud: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Now that the Yellow River has burst its embankment, the disaster is serious, and Yin Yuesu of Shuntianfu is specially appointed as the minister of Qincha, and the title of Shangshu of the Criminal Department is the governor of Henan, and he is still concurrently with the affairs of Shuntianfu, and goes to Henan for ......disaster relief."

On top of the holy decree, it is inevitable that there will be some words such as living up to the emperor's grace and doing things well, and when he finished reading, Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Not bad." But I still have to add a few sentences, you remember, go back and make up for it, and read it out in the morning. ”

"The old slave obeys." Wei Zhongxian agreed, and after speaking, he looked at the emperor, not knowing what this carpenter emperor wanted to add.

"You add...... Hmm......" Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment, and then said: "I am specially given Yue Su Dragon, Tiger, and Dog three bronze guillotines, the dragon head can be the emperor's relatives, and the unscrupulous phoenix son and dragon grandson; The tiger head can be corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the country will be annihilated; Dog-headed scoundrels, local tyrants and bullies. Where the evidence is conclusive, there is no need to ask for a decree, but it can be cut first and then played. And give Yue Su Shangfang a sword, if I come in person, I will act cheaply, if Yue Su wants to return to Beijing, he can do it at any time, no need to ask for a decree. ”

"Old slave ......" Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian's mouth opened wide, and he couldn't believe his ears a little. It took a long time to spit out the word "obey" at the back.

My mother, this emperor also trusts Yue Su too much. Holding the sword of Shang Fang, it is okay to cut it first and then play, and also make a dragon head, which can make the emperor's relatives and relatives, phoenix sons and dragon grandchildren, and there is no need to ask for orders. That's an exaggeration, isn't it?

However, Fengzi Longsun should not be managed by Wei Zhongxian, that is your emperor's own business, as for the other two guillotines, in fact, the monk Fang Sword has one meaning, and they all have the right to cut first and then play, and your emperor wants to make more names, and it is up to you.

Now that it was getting late, Wei Zhongxian led the order to retreat, first let the military battle bureau be built according to the style of the three-mouth guillotine, and then returned to the duty room and added the content of the emperor's holy decree. Just wait for the morning to read it out in the morning.
