Chapter 24: Do You Want to Be Comfortable?
There are some things that cannot be hidden.
If nothing else, most of the Duke's Palace are just low bungalows, and from a distance, you can see the green canopy of Bodhi trees in the courtyard.
In addition, there are a lot of people who have witnessed such a strange scene, so they can't hide it from people at all.
There are also many people who deliberately went to the vicinity of the Guogong Mansion to see for themselves.
Even Emperor Xia, who was in the palace, also heard about it.
In the dormitory, Emperor Xia was lying on his side on the bed, although his body was still strong, but after all, he was old.
Emperor Xia, who was lying on the bed, frowned slightly, and asked the old eunuch who was waiting closely: "Huang Qi, you say, how can there be a Bodhi tree in this Chen Jinsong Mansion?" ”
Regarding the rumored manifestation of Chen Xirui, Emperor Xia did not believe it at all.
The old eunuch Huang Qi shook his head and said, "I don't know! ”
Emperor Xia gently stroked his beard and muttered: "The Bodhi tree, but one of the sacred trees of Buddhism, grows in rare numbers in my Great Xia, not to mention that in this north, I have never heard of a Bodhi tree that can survive!" ”
With continuous thinking, he looked at the old eunuch and asked in a rather serious tone: "Has there been a Buddhist master who has entered the imperial capital recently?" Go and let Mu Huaijin check, those Buddhist bald donkeys are the best at demagoguery, has anyone been in contact with Chen Jinsong recently? In addition, let the magicians of Huanling Pavilion go and see what is so strange about that tree. ”
Speaking of this, he said a little dazedly: "Those bald donkeys in the Sumeru Kingdom, if they really come into contact with Chen Jinsong, logically speaking, they should also be plotting, how can they make such a big fuss and make such a move?" What's the point of making such a linden tree? Can't figure it out, can't figure it out..."
In fact, it's not just him who can't figure it out, many people can't figure it out.
For example, in the Chen family, when a group of magicians saw such a big Bodhi tree growing in Chen Jinsong's house, their eyes were straight.
"Impossible! This thing is not suitable for cultivation in the north at all, how can it grow so well in the cold winter? ”
"Is there a rejuvenation formation?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, there is no perception of energy flow at all."
"This leaf is cold, how can it not fall in this weather?"
More than a dozen magicians, both old and young, watched and stroked back and forth around the Bodhi tree.
But I couldn't see anything special, as if it was really an ordinary tree.
But if it is an ordinary tree, how can it grow in the cold winter!
Chen Jinsong looked at it with a solemn face on the side, and said in a deep voice: "You can see it, but make the ugly words clear first, no one is allowed to touch the branches and leaves of this tree, otherwise don't care about Chen and you fighting hard!" ”
This is no joke.
Since the tree was planted, he has moved a recliner.
In the big winter, in the cold winter, lying on the reclining chair under the tree, it is a morning.
If it weren't for the sudden arrival of so many magicians, or on the orders of the emperor, he would not have gotten up.
On the other side, in the barracks, Chu Ze was sitting on a chair, and Wen Qi was reading quietly.
"Grunt...."A scream came from Chu Ze's stomach.
This pro-soldier went out to give orders, and he was gone for most of the day...
Seeing that it was about to be noon, and he didn't come back, Chu Ze was really a little hungry.
"Commander Wen, what is that General Dou you are talking about?"
Wen Qi raised his head, glanced at Chu Ze, and said softly: "Today should be leading someone to build Zhenlong Pagoda for His Majesty, don't worry, look at the time should be almost up..."
In this era, communication is inconvenient, and sometimes, it can only be so.
Chu Ze was a little speechless: "Why do our forbidden army still have to be responsible for building the Zhenlong Pagoda for Your Majesty?" ”
Wen Qi rolled her eyes and said, "What do you think? Our forbidden army is stationed in Kyoto, including the excavation and maintenance of canals, the construction of imperial palaces, the reclamation and cultivation of imperial fields in spring, the excavation of minerals near Kyoto, and the cutting and burning of firewood in winter. This is no quiet place! ”
Chu Ze opened his mouth wide, is this a forbidden army? Isn't this coolie?
But after thinking about it carefully, Chu Ze understood, this forbidden army is hundreds of thousands of young and strong, stationed in Kyoto all the year round, and the cost is huge, so many people, but they are all ready-made labor, if from an economic point of view, it seems that it is indeed not the case if it is trained and raised every day, and if you drive it, you can save a lot of engineering costs.
Not to mention anything else, most of the people in Kyoto buy firewood for heating and burning firewood every winter from the government-run firewood shops, and now it seems that these firewoods are probably cut by the Kyoto forbidden army.
While he was talking, there were footsteps outside, and a strong man with a full beard followed the soldier just now.
"The last general, Dou Hu, has seen Commander Wen."
Wen Qi looked at Dou Hu, didn't talk nonsense, pointed at Chu Ze and said: "This is Chu Ze, the captain appointed by His Majesty, what about him, he is my son and nephew, so I will leave it to you, take good care of it!" ”
As soon as he heard this, Dou Hu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The last general knows." ”
"Alright, you can take him down." Wen Qi said casually.
There are some things that need not be said, and when they are informed, it will be natural.
After telling Dou Hu, Wen Qi looked at Chu Ze and said: "No matter what, when you enter the army, you must abide by military discipline, as long as you keep to yourself, no one in this forbidden army can bully you!" ”
Chu Ze understood, the meaning was obvious, and he just said: "I will cover you, but don't make trouble!" ”
He immediately responded and went out with Dou Hu.
Dou Hu looked at Chu Ze and said with a smile: "Brother Chu, in the future, we will be brothers who eat in a pot, let's not hide it, you tell my brother a word, do you want to be comfortable, or do you want to climb up?" ”
Chu Ze smiled with a smile in his eyes: "How to talk about comfort, how to talk about climbing up?" ”
Dou Hu approached Chu Ze and said in a low voice: "Comfortable, it's very simple, naturally you want to do what you want, how comfortable you are, but if you want to climb up and listen to your brother, you still have to take the lead, the forbidden army is not much more expensive than other places, Xun is a lot more expensive, so if you want to go up, you can't be too talkative, otherwise Commander Wen wants to promote you, and others won't be willing!" ”
Dou Hu said as he walked: "If you want to be comfortable, anyway, you just came, my brother won't arrange subordinates for you first, what do you want to do at that time, don't want to come, just find a reason, just send someone to inform me, don't be asked about what we said differently, if you want to be promoted, my brother will get you fifty elite soldiers, do a good job, when the time comes, Commander Wen will promote you, no one can say half a word!" ”
Boy!
This is the sophistication of human feelings.
Chu Ze can see it, this Dou Hu is quite good at getting into trouble!
The choice is right in front of you, do it well? Or how comfortable how to come?
Is this still a choice?
Chu Ze grinned and said: "Brother Dou, I won't tell you, I, I, have always been able to lie down without sitting, and I can sit without standing, so ah, your fifty elite soldiers, and keep them first, let's just come as comfortable as possible!" ”
"Haha! It's all up to you! ”
"Brother Dou, I heard that the wine and food in the drunken immortal building in this city are doing well, I've been hungry all morning, why don't we go and deal with it first?"
"Isn't that okay?"
"Let's go, I'm going to starve to death!"
"Haha, then I'll be disrespectful."
