Chapter 56: The Gap

Zhengde was very satisfied with Zhou Bei's performance, his attitude became more and more kind, and he pulled Zhou Bei's arm and asked him to sit down.

How dare Zhou Bei sit, even if he dares to sit, he doesn't dare to sit before the emperor.

The two were at a stalemate, but Zhou Bei didn't dare to resist Zhengde, and only dared to sit down with half of his hips, and then burst into tears and asked the emperor to sit down.

Zhengde became more and more satisfied, and then sat down opposite Zhou Bei. "Do you drink alcohol?"

Zhou Bei hugged his fists and said: "I can drink a few glasses, but Xiaomin has no alcohol addiction, and it is not suitable for drinking today." ”

Zhengde picked up the chopsticks and said: "I sent everyone away, if I want to talk to you well, I can only greet myself." Come, eat vegetables......"

Emperor Zhengde's appearance follows Emperor Gaozu, and they are all big men with a height of more than one meter nine.

Although it is a beard, it is neatly trimmed and a symmetrical geometric pattern is scraped out, which looks very powerful.

Now staring at Zhou Bei with a pair of eyes that see the little beauty, making Zhou Bei panic.

He thought that the emperor would use him and would treat him with courtesy, but now this attitude made him feel a little unbearable.

However, since he is so important, Yu Youwei's matter seems to be easy to talk about.

Under the sight of Zhengde's care, Zhou Bei reluctantly picked up the chopsticks.

There are eighteen dishes in total, nine for each person, and each eats his own.

The dish is delicious, but in the face of such a warm gaze, he is still a mighty man, or an emperor, Zhou Bei really can't swallow it.

Zhengde laughed, got up and said, "I only thought of having lunch with you, but I didn't expect you to get used to it. Why don't you eat first......"

Zhou Bei hurriedly put down his chopsticks and bowed to the end. "Your Majesty must not, the little people dare not be ashamed."

Identity background, age and experience, Zhou Bei is far from the emperor, but when it comes to acting, Zhou Bei is not far behind.

Zhengde also felt that the play was almost done, so he opened the lunch box next to him and said, "Then eat well, after eating, I have countless questions for you."

Don't worry, I don't have the world in my heart and won't let you go. As long as you are useful to the Ming Dynasty, as long as you do not break the law and discipline, I will ensure that you will be prosperous and prosperous for a lifetime, and your blessings will last. ”

"Obey ......"

Zhengde paused for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Little slippery head." ”

This was originally Zhengde's casual remark, Zhou Bei said this as a will, that is, to take the words to him, you are a golden mouth!

But these words were originally Zhengde's heart, he is the emperor in power, he is the biggest in this world, and there is no need to deceive people at all.

Zhou Bei can use it for himself, glory and wealth are indispensable to him, and if he can't use it, it will definitely ruin him.

He could not leave behind a single element of insecurity that would affect the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhengde's meal was very large, a bucket of rice, he ate more than half of it alone, and Zhou Bei only ate one bowl.

People who practice martial arts have a large amount of food, Zhengde's amount of food is normal, and Zhoubei is abnormal.

However, when they met for the first time, he always had to show reverence for the imperial power and respect for the emperor.

Zhengde was full of food and drink, looked at Zhou Bei and smiled. "I know you haven't eaten enough, but I won't force you today. As you will know later, I am no different from ordinary people, except for national events, I want to go out to the palace all day long.

It's a pity that Gaozu left me a powerful empire, there is no country in this world, and the tribe can become a hidden worry for the Ming Dynasty, so that I can't find an opponent if I want to fight.

Even if you leave the palace, you have to be restricted. Every year, there are two months at the beginning of the year and two months on hot days, so you can go out for a walk. ”

The law of the Ming Emperor stipulates that the emperor cannot leave the palace more than twice a year for non-war reasons, and all the consumption of going out is from the inner treasury, and the state treasury must not be used, and the local government must not bear any expenses.

Because Daming is too big, it takes a long time to go to other places, and the cost is very high, if you leave Zhongzhou, you can only do it once every ten years.

There are Taizong in front of him, and the two emperors of Gaozu did not go home after Zen gave way.

Zhengde has been the emperor for sixteen years, and this year is the first year to use the era name, which is still early before his death or Zen Rang.

However, he did not waste these two opportunities, over the years, he likes to go out of the palace in the news, every year after the first month of the year to go to Nanjing (Singapore) for a walk.

Every year in the summer, you either go to Huangshan (Huangshan) or go to Beijing (Lake Baikal) to escape the heat.

Only Xijing (Baku, Azerbaijan) is too far away, and he has not yet been there.

Every time the emperor travels, it is big news, and Zhou Bei is in Dongzhou, so he can also know the news.

After hearing Zhengde's words, Zhou Bei was not easy to answer, no matter what he said, it was not right, so he just smiled.

Zhengde just sighed, wiped his mouth and asked, "Are you ready to reply to me?" ”

Zhou Bei bowed slightly. "Xiao Min was ready half a month ago, no matter what His Majesty asked, Xiao Min just answered truthfully. Your Majesty is the lord of the world and the father of all peoples, and if the small people can be appreciated by Your Majesty, it is a blessing that cannot be sought. ”

Zhengde laughed. "Let's go, let's talk in another place."

The entire Wuying Hall was silent, and there was no sound at all. From the corridor on the back side, follow Zhengde to the central hall, and behind it is a dressing room, where the emperor meets the ministers to go to the toilet.

Bypass a small door next to it and you will see a large and magnificent hall.

On the side of Zhou Bei is a high platform, with nine steps, and on the steps, there is a dragon case carved with a dragon, which is extremely wide.

Behind the dragon case is a dragon chair that can accommodate three people to sit side by side, and under the slightly low six steps behind the side is the position and passage where the palace ladies are waiting for the herald.

And on the side, on the platform, which is three steps lower than the dragon chair, there are seven chairs with desks, which should be the seats of cabinet members.

The hall where the ministers were to be met was very large, with a total area of about 200 square meters, and at the end of the entrance, a small area where they could sit and talk, separated by screens.

Four large double sofas are placed opposite each other, and in the middle is a large square table with a side length of at least two meters. Behind the sofa, there is also a chair in each corner, for a total of eight.

The six suitcases brought back by Zhou Bei were neatly placed here, allowing Zhengde, who came in, to stare at them for a while.

"Sit down, there is only one trustworthy boss here besides you and me, and he can't hear our conversation."

Of course, Zhou Bei will not sit first, but invite Zhengde to take a seat.

When he was about to sit on the main seat due north, the anti-guest lord asked: "Your Majesty, but you only know about the crossing after listening to what Your Majesty Gaozu said?" ”

Zhengde smiled, sat up straight, stared at Zhou Bei's eyes, and all his momentum was released at once. "Since you know about His Majesty Gaozu, have you ever heard of the name Zhou You?"

Although the other party was sitting and standing by himself, for a moment, Zhou Bei felt a little breathless and oppressive, as if facing a big grizzly bear.

This was his personal experience when he was seventeen years old, although there was a gun at the time, but three shots did not kill a behemoth, although in the end he changed to a repeating gun and killed it with a dozen shots, but he was also frightened at the time.

Zhou Bei took a light breath, took a deep breath and said: "Xiaomin knows a person named Zhou You, but I don't know if it is the person Your Majesty said. ”

"What's so good about this man?"

"He is the richest man in another world, and he is famous all over the world."

Zhengde stood up excitedly, with a look of surprise on his face. "Is he still alive?"

Zhou Bei's doubts in his heart were also confirmed, and he said honestly: "He mysteriously disappeared three years ago in another world, and his disappearance is still widely discussed and speculated by the whole people. ”

"Is his family okay?"

"Alright."

Zhengde nodded, stared at Zhou Bei's eyes for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Why weren't you injured at all when the plane crashed?" ”

Zhou Bei didn't expect that the emperor's question would start with this sentence.

He had imagined the emperor's curiosity about another world, his curiosity about his dreams, and his curiosity about his abilities, but he never thought that he would start from such an angle.

Because he was unexpected, he was completely defenseless, first stunned, then frightened.

Because, this is his biggest secret now, and it is also his biggest support.

Even if he wants to take out the materials and technologies in the space, Zhou Bei hopes to take them out little by little through his own hands to obtain the greatest benefits.

But now that the emperor asks like this, Zhou Bei's first feeling is that he is exposed.

However, he still struggled for a while and said: "Maybe it's Xiaomin's luck, Master Li valued Xiaomin at that time and has always protected Xiaomin. ”

"But at the moment of the crash, he lost his sense of you."

Zhou Bei broke out in a cold sweat, still thinking about how to phrase it, but he heard Zhengde say again: "Do you know what the ability of an immortal master like me and Commander Li is? Your breath, your heartbeat, and even your mind can't hide our feelings. So, don't lie to me! ”

Under the coercion released by Zhengde with all his might, Zhou Bei's head was confused for a while, his legs trembled and he could barely stand, and he almost wanted to kneel.

He could only plead with a hint of clarity. "Your Majesty......"

Not only did Zhengde not put away his coercion, but asked again: "What kind of space is your space?" Can it hold living creatures? Can it be farmed? Are there mountains and rivers? Is there a spiritual spring? ”

Zhou Bei couldn't resist this pressure, and suddenly knelt on the ground, his hands on the ground. "Nope."

"What kind of space is that? Is there another world of technology? ”

"Yes."

The coercion disappeared all of a sudden, and Zhou Bei sweated profusely, prostrating and wanting to vomit.

He never thought that the secret he thought he could keep would be exposed at the first time.

"Get up."

Hearing Zhengde's words, Zhou Bei finally couldn't support it, regardless of the loss of etiquette, he sat on his feet all of a sudden, and then sat on the ground.

If it weren't for the desk around him blocking his body, he would have just spread on the ground.

In this, the grandmaster's coercion is only part of it, and the bigger reason is that he is the emperor.

Zhou Bei never wanted to go against him, nor did he think about working hard to fight for hegemony, and he had to be afraid to prevent being killed at any time.

This Ming is more powerful than any country in the other world, and it also has semi-automatic rifles, telephones, telegraphs, trains and giant ships that can transfer tens of millions of troops at any time.

Rebellion in this world is a dead end.

There was no psychology to oppose it, and at the moment when the secret was discovered, there was no time to think about it, so he could only admit it.

When he raised his head, he saw the eyes of Emperor Gujing Bubo, but the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, revealing that he was in a good mood.
