Chapter 371: Negotiate conditions with the emperor

"Master, where are we going?" The father-in-law asked the emperor beside him.

"Lao Fu, where does Tang Sheng's family live? DID YOU KNOW? "Lao Fu is the name of my father-in-law outside the palace.

When the father-in-law heard that the emperor was looking for General Tang, he thought about it with his brain.

It didn't take long to remember.

"I heard Lord Zhou say that General Tang's family lives next door to Lord Zhou's house, does the lord want to go over now?"

Emperor Chu nodded.

"The slave leads the way." As he spoke, my father-in-law walked ahead and led the way.

******

"Master, this is it." The father-in-law pointed to the guarded house.

Emperor Chu glanced around, furrowed his brows, and looked disgusted.

"It's too basic."

"Master, the house on the third prince's side will be rectified soon, and General Tang will be able to move in in two days." The father-in-law said to the emperor.

The emperor nodded, raised his feet and walked over.

The man guarding the door had never seen the emperor, so he raised his hand to stop him.

The father-in-law took out the sign, and when the doorkeeper saw it, his face turned pale with fright, and he immediately knelt down.

See ......

"Shut up." The father-in-law said two words and cut off the guard's words.

After Emperor Chu and his father-in-law entered, the gatekeeper immediately got up and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Tang Sheng was sharpening the wooden sword for the child in the yard, and he couldn't go anywhere anyway, so he simply fulfilled his promise at home.

I promised the children before, and gave each of them a wooden sword.

Hearing the sound outside, he raised his head and looked at the emperor who walked in, and he didn't kneel, but directly lowered his head and sharpened his sword.

Seeing this, my father-in-law stepped forward to remind.

"Ahem, General Tang."

Tang Sheng raised his head, and then spoke: "The minister has seen the emperor." ”

After Tang Sheng finished speaking, he stepped aside and gave up his seat to the emperor.

"No need to be polite." The emperor didn't sit down, but looked around, "It doesn't look good on the outside, but it's pretty good on the inside." ”

Tang Sheng was silent.

The father-in-law put his position behind the emperor.

After the emperor sat down, he turned his head to look at the half-finished wooden sword in Tang Sheng's hand and laughed.

"For the kids?"

"Back to the emperor, yes."

Tang Sheng's tone was a little bad, and the emperor heard it and laughed.

"Tang Aiqing, is this angry?"

"Don't dare." Tang Sheng replied.

"Don't dare, I'll be angry with you."

After the emperor said this, Zhou Yiran came over from the backyard, saw two strangers in the courtyard, and when she approached, she saw that it was the emperor and her father-in-law, and she immediately saluted.

"The courtiers have seen the emperor."

"Pingsheng, what is Mrs. Zhang busy with?" The emperor saw Zhou Yiran roll up his sleeves and asked curiously.

"Nothing busy." She replied with a smile, and then asked, "Why does the emperor have time to come to the courtiers?" ”

"There's something to find General Tang."

"Oh, that's it, the courtier has gone back to the room, so as not to disturb the conversation between the emperor and her husband."

The emperor nodded, and she turned around and went back to her room.

When he entered the door, Zhang Mo came over.

"Mother, what is the emperor doing in our house?"

"I don't know." She also wanted to know what the emperor was doing at home.

However, eight or nine are not far from ten, and they must be looking for Tang Sheng to talk about explosives.

"I don't know what happened when the emperor came here?"

Although he has a score in mind, he still has to ask, because he doesn't like to guess.

When the emperor saw him ask, he didn't beat around the bush with him, and told him directly the purpose of coming here today.

"I want you to make a lot of explosives, and when I unify the Three Kingdoms, I will make you the general of Zhenguo, and even give you a throne."

This is really tempting, but for people like Tang Sheng, he is not uncommon.

"I can make gunpowder for the emperor, but the materials for making gunpowder are very difficult to find, and the emperor will have to wait a long time to unify the three kingdoms by gunpowder."

After listening to Tang Sheng's words, the emperor realized this problem.

It's really hard to get the materials to make explosives.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chu frowned.

After a long time, the emperor was still thinking about this problem.

Tang Sheng suddenly thought of another way, thinking that maybe the emperor would let him go.

"When I was a young man, I accidentally read a book of soldiers, maybe how helpful it was to the emperor."

As soon as he heard the word "Book of Soldiers", the emperor raised his head and looked at Tang Sheng with shining eyes.

"It's He Bingshu, show it to me."

"The book of war is gone, but the content is remembered."

"Then what are you still doing in a daze, quickly copy a copy of it for me." The emperor was a little impatient.

"It's okay to copy it to the emperor, but the minister has conditions."

"Bold." The father-in-law scolded.

The emperor raised his hand to stop his father-in-law, and then calmly asked, "What conditions?" ”

"The emperor let the courtier's family leave." Tang Sheng said without fear of death.

The emperor furrowed his brows and asked, "Aren't you willing to do what I give you an official?" ”

"Your Majesty, not everyone wants to be an official, just the minister is the one who doesn't want to be an official, as long as the emperor agrees, the minister will copy it to the emperor now."

Tang Sheng looked at the emperor without fear at all.

In this way, he made the corners of the emperor's lips rise and laugh.

"You're the first person who isn't afraid of me, okay, I promise you, now you can copy it!"

"There is no evidence, the emperor still writes a note to the ministers."

"Bold, the emperor is the ninety-five supreme, how can words not count?" The father-in-law said sternly.

Tang Sheng didn't say anything, he looked at the emperor and waited for the emperor's words.

The emperor took a deep breath, and then laughed: "General Tang is worthy of being General Tang, bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and I will write a note for you." ”

"Your Majesty, are you really writing?" The father-in-law looked at the emperor puzzled, and felt that General Tang was a little too much.

When Tang Sheng finished saying that after the emperor finished speaking, he turned around and went to the room to get pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

At the same time, a table was moved out and placed directly in front of the emperor.

He sharpened ink for the emperor.

After the ink was polished, Tang Sheng raised his eyes and looked at the emperor.

The emperor picked up the brush, dipped it in a little ink, and then began to write notes.

After writing it, the emperor did not forget to press the jade medal he was carrying at the registration place.

"Tang Aiqing, take a look, if there is no problem, then start copying!"

Tang Sheng picked up the note and read it very carefully, and after making sure that it was correct, he dried the ink on it, and then folded it and put it in his arms.

Next, he began to copy the Art of War.

While he was writing, the emperor watched from the sidelines, and gradually, he became fascinated.

"Wonderful, wonderful, really wonderful......" The emperor kept saying.

With this art of war, he felt that his hegemony would soon be completed.

Two hours passed, and Tang Sheng finally wrote down all of Sun Tzu's Art of War.

Put down the brush and look at the emperor.

The emperor was still immersed in calligraphy, and he didn't realize that Tang Sheng had finished writing.

After a long while, the emperor raised his head and looked at Tang Sheng.

"Who else knows this art of war?"

"There was only one minister before, but now there is one more emperor, and there is also a father-in-law." Tang Sheng looked at his father-in-law and said.

After hearing this, the emperor immediately had a plan in his heart, but he didn't show it.

"Okay, I have accepted this art of war, when does General Tang plan to leave, I will send it to you." The emperor looked at Tang Sheng very kindly, waiting for his response.

"Just for a few days." Tang Sheng saw a different kind of emotion in the emperor's eyes.

"In that case, be sure to let me know when you leave." After the emperor finished speaking, he put away the art of war, and then left with his father-in-law.

When he walked to the door, the emperor glanced at the people guarding the door and said to them, "You can go back, there is no need to guard here." ”

"Yes." The gatekeepers replied in unison and evacuated.

The emperor glanced back, and then left as well.

On the way back to the palace, the father-in-law looked at the emperor puzzled and asked, "The emperor just let General Tang leave?" ”

The corners of the emperor's lips rose, revealing a sinister smile, and he didn't say anything to his father-in-law.

Since he can't use it for himself, then destroying it must not let him leave alive.

When the father-in-law saw the emperor showing such an expression, he immediately understood.

******

After the emperor left, Zhou Yiran came out of the room and asked, "What did you write to the emperor?" ”

"The Art of War." Tang Sheng told her.

Zhou Yiran's eyes widened: "Do you remember them all?" ”

"Hmm." Tang Sheng nodded, "This is something that must be memorized, but the effect depends on how the person who uses it uses it." ”

"And when are we leaving?"

"Leave tonight to avoid long nights and dreams." He didn't believe that the emperor would let him go so easily.

As soon as she heard his words, Zhou Yiran said: "Then I will arrange Tsing Yi and Taohong to Zhou Qing's mansion." ”

"Well, it's really inconvenient to take them with you, there are many people and the goal is big." Tang Sheng said.

She felt the same way, so she turned around and looked for Tsing Yi and Peach.

After finding Tsing Yi and Taohong, she told them what she said, and the two of them immediately knelt on the ground.

"Madame, bring the slaves and maidservants with you!"

Looking at Tsing Yi Taohong, she frowned and said: "It's not that I don't want to take you away, but this road is full of dangers, and it's inconvenient to take you, I will give you your deed of sale later, and then send you to the Zhou Mansion, you can do it if you want to be in his mansion, if you don't want to, find a good person to marry, and live a small life like Qingzhu." ”

Speaking of green bamboo, she hadn't seen it for a few days, and she didn't know what was going on.

Tsing Yi Taohong shook her head: "Madam, bring the slaves and maids, the slaves and maids are not afraid of danger." ”

"It's not a question of whether you're afraid or not, it's that it's not easy for us to hurry with you, maybe the road we take is not a normal road, and you may drag it down at that time."

After hearing this, Tsing Yi Taohong frowned slightly, feeling that what Madame said was reasonable.

The two thought for a moment, and finally the two nodded: "The slaves and maids obey the arrangement of the lady." ”

"That's good, come to my room later to get the deed of sale." She not only gave them the deed of sale, but also gave them a sum of money, just like Qingzhu, to give them the dowry money.

Tsing Yi Peach nodded.

"Alright, get up." She reached out and pulled the two up.

After Tsing Yi Taohong got up, the two began to cry.

"Madam, the slave is so reluctant."

"Don't cry, sooner or later you will be separated, you must be happy in the future, find a man to find a reliable one, don't look at whether you have money or not, a little?"

The two nodded, and they cried even harder.

Madame is leaving, and they still care about them so much, they are really reluctant to Mrs.

Encountering such a master is a blessing that they have cultivated for eight lifetimes.
