Chapter 371: Sleep
In the corner of the imperial dining room, Du Chengfeng was lying on the bed and falling asleep.
This is the first time he has slept in bed seriously in the past few days, after all, the construction of a large bed is far more troublesome than a chaise longue, but fortunately, those royal craftsmen are reliable enough, and this specially tailored queen bed for him has finally been built.
"I thought I wouldn't be able to use this craft for the rest of my life...... I think that when my ancestors built a bed for Emperor Taizu Gao, they used such craftsmanship! ”
When the bed was finished, the master craftsman in charge of the project sighed, he didn't expect that this skill, which was almost useless in his eyes, would have the moment when he would see the light of day again.
Comparing a person who is not the emperor to the founding ancestor of the country is naturally extremely arrogant, but after this statement was said, no one felt that there was anything wrong - after all, this description is mainly to describe the huge body, like this body that is too large, and even a giant, in the impression of everyone, only Emperor Taizu is like this.
It's just that in addition to this, there is another point, which is something that everyone has not explicitly stated.
That is, peace of mind.
Today's Da Chen is no longer as stable as it seems, although he still maintains the most basic decency on the surface, but he has long been riddled with holes on the inside, and recently, even the most basic decency can not be maintained, and even they craftsmen have sensed those crises.
"It's like a big ship, the wood inside is rotten, the water has been poured in, and it's useless to repair it."
These craftsmen may not understand the things in the court, nor do they understand the things of the strong, but they can still make some perception and understanding of the current situation in their own way.
So they were actually ready to run away a long time ago.
No one wants to stay on a wrecked ship that is about to capsize, even if they have served the royal family for generations, as the so-called tree falls and scatters, since there is no way to survive here, then running is the only way to survive - anyway, they all have their craft, they will not starve to death wherever they go, as for their loyalty......
Forget about this kind of thing, loyalty is the most worthless thing, in this deep palace, they have seen too much, because the so-called loyalty is in vain.
There are some people who are worthy of loyalty, and these heroes know the weight of loyalty, and they will not let those loyal people waste their lives in vain, but there are still some people who ...... These people don't understand the weight of loyalty, they just take it for granted, and in their eyes, those who are loyal are born to serve them, and they don't want to pay any price for it.
So, is their current king like one of those lords worthy of allegiance?
"Haha."
The craftsmen's answer was a tacit dry laugh.
The young emperor is not a hero, just a spoiled child, when the emperor was there, this was not obvious, but with the death of the emperor, as the young emperor grew up day by day, this problem can no longer be hidden.
"The holy quality is the same."
This is what people say about the young emperor.
If it is just an ordinary child, it may be a compliment, but this word is used to describe an emperor...... No matter how old the emperor is, it actually sounds a bit like scolding the street.
The emperor is unreliable, and the civil and military officials are naturally unreliable, and the voices of the southward migration factions are getting louder and louder now, but the reason why they insist on moving south is not because their family businesses are in the south - most of the craftsmen don't want to go to the south, mainly because of this, in Jiankang City, they are still famous royal craftsmen, but if they go to the south, I'm afraid the emperor himself may not have any voice, and when the time comes, what can they do?
Instead of looking at the faces of those big families, they might as well simply work for a certain strong person.
For example, the strong man who claimed to be the emperor before.
The strength of the strong is mainly reflected in the force, as for the force, it still depends on some professionals after all - just like the previous martial arts field, the high platform, was built by them. There are always some things that the strong can't do on their own, and this means that as long as they still have the craft, they can always have something to eat.
The only problem is that the temper of the strong is not necessarily good.
This is also why the craftsmen will single out the strong men, indeed, these strong men may not be the emperor, but they have some kind of power far greater than the emperor - you know, even if the emperor wants to kill them, he has to find a reason, and then call the guards over, and then push them out, and finally behead them. Can be replaced by a strong one......
The strong don't need to be so troublesome, they don't even need to find a reason, killing people is as easy for them as eating and drinking.
Need a reason to eat and drink?
Not at all.
They are facing monsters with absolute violence, and they are even fundamentally different from people, and in the face of this irresistible death, all they can do is pray, and pray that the next person to die will not be themselves.
Until that Du Taishi appeared.
They actually know very little about this Du Taishi, and most of the impressions in their minds come from some rumors - rumors, this Du Taishi was originally born as a thief, even if he was recruited to the palace, he never bowed his head to the emperor, and even simply rode a horse to the Jinluan Palace.
Therefore, these craftsmen were originally ready to treat him with the attitude of treating the strong, just like treating the emperor, and they were already familiar with it.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that this new Du Taishi was a little too easy to talk to.
Completely inconsistent with the huge body, this tall giant was extremely gentle, not only did not show any violent appearance, but even gave them enough respect - it was this time that these craftsmen knew that they would actually have the day when they would be honored as teachers, and the strong man in front of them, the tall giant, in order to keep them from looking up too uncomfortable, was even willing to half-kneel on the ground and talk to them at eye level.
For the first time, there were strong people who would kneel in front of them, the weak.
This flattered them.
And the following days also confirmed their judgment, after this gentle giant lived in the palace, the atmosphere of the entire palace changed visibly - just, although it was still the same broken ship, there were traces of decay everywhere, but with the arrival of the Du Taishi, the broken ship suddenly stopped leaking.
"It's like...... There was a big, long plank that directly plugged all the loopholes. ”
This is how the craftsmen describe this feeling, again in their own way of understanding it.
Perhaps this is why they will compare him to Emperor Taizu, after all, in their impression, I am afraid that only the omnipotent Emperor Taizu can do this kind of thing - that huge body doesn't even need to do anything, just sit there, and give people a sense of solid security.
It's a pity that no one has been able to fill that huge throne for a long time.
Although it's not like no one sits, the people who sit on it are too small.
The small body sat on the huge throne, and there was no sense of reassurance at all, and the emptiness around it left people with only endless fear.
"So, make a big bed."
The craftsmen made up their minds.
This was their reward for the giant, and although they couldn't do it, it was too arrogant to let the giant sit on the throne, and the giant himself might not even be happy, but it was okay to make a suitable big bed—after all, after the giant came, they had a rare night's sleep.
Of course, this kind of thing must sound problematic, but is it really worth it to get a good night's sleep?
"It's really worth it."
Without exception, craftsmen think so.
Outsiders are not very easy to understand their feelings, only they can truly appreciate how precious this solid sleep is - sitting on a stormy ship, it is really extremely difficult to sleep well, and they have been awakened from their sleep many times during this time.
It was the fear of death, and the fear of the unknown, and they were so weak that they could not repair the broken ship, but could only watch themselves sink - indeed, they might choose to flee and choose to jump into the sea, but even if they did, would they really survive?
I don't know, I don't know at all, they are in torment every day.
Until, these days.
There is no need to worry about anything anymore, and there is no need to be afraid of anything anymore, although everything seems to have not been resolved, and the broken ship is still the broken ship, but as long as the Du Taishi is still there, all this seems to have no problems - nothing will come in, and there is no need to run anywhere, no one can kill them, they just need to live normally.
They themselves can't understand why they feel this way, knowing that they are in the palace, but they are in the place where they will cut off their heads if they do something wrong, but they can be sure that they will not die, and no one will kill them, which is a very incredible thing.
"That giant will probably help us talk."
That's all most craftsmen can think of.
However, a few craftsmen vaguely perceived the source of this sense of reassurance, and that was because there was order in the palace again—even if this so-called order was only the words of the giant, it was much stronger than the words of the little emperor.
So no matter what, they want to let that giant have a good night's sleep.
Just like themselves, sleep soundly and sleep peacefully.
They used everything they could use.
The first is the selection of materials, using a century-old sunken wood from the southwest, this woody aroma itself has a sleep-inducing effect, and has always been exclusively for the royal family to enjoy - of course, to say that, it is really in the hands of these craftsmen who do specific things, they love to use it for whomever they want.
Then there is the process, they carefully measured the height and size of the giant during this time, as well as the weight of the body, and then adjusted the posture of the bed - most of the ordinary beds are a whole plane, which is just convenient to make, but it is not necessarily the best choice, according to the posture of the giant, they left a small arc on the bed, which can make the giant lie more comfortable and sit more happily.
As for the end, they even contacted the weaving in the palace to create a set of special bedding pillows for this big bed, which can not only fit perfectly into the oversized body, but also allow the other party to enjoy a baby-like sleep.
"Try it and you'll find out! This one definitely works! ”
When the bed was assembled, the craftsman praised Haikou to this Du Taishi.
Of course, this may seem like a compliment to outsiders, but these craftsmen themselves know that what they say is just the truth.
Anyone who lies in this bed can sleep soundly, which is their confidence in their craft.
And Du Chengfeng has also experienced this firsthand.
He hadn't opened his eyes since he had been lying down at noon.
The bed was too good, he had never slept so comfortably - it wasn't that he hadn't slept in the first place, but he had been sleeping quite well. If he has a bed, he sleeps on the ground, and if he doesn't, he sleeps on the ground, and he even sleeps on horseback when he is in a hurry.
As for the last few days, he has been sleeping on the recliner to make up for sleep, and the afternoon nap in the sun is indeed very comfortable, but the posture of the recliner does not have any sleep quality at all.
At least compared to now, there is really one heaven and one underground.
Lying on a tailor-made big bed, covered with a quilt large enough to cover himself, Du Chengfeng even had the illusion that his body shape was okay - you must know that he had never had such a comfortable sleep experience when he was in Forgotten Township, after all, there are few serious tailors in Forgotten Township, and those villagers can't make a large quilt that is enough to cover his whole person.
"When was the last time you slept so comfortably?"
Du Chengfeng can't remember it well.
All he knew was that soon after lying down, he went straight to sleep.
Deep sleep is generally not dreaming, it is a complete dormancy of the body, and after this dormancy, the body will be rejuvenated.
But when he was halfway through sleep, Du Chengfeng suddenly started dreaming.
He dreamed of when he first came into this world.
It should be that not long after he came to this world, when he first got the big knife, he had the impression that when he got this ancestral treasure knife, the kid named Yang Sanlang was still quite angry.
Remember that kid seemed to be ready to kill him while he was sleeping?
The update arrived, and everyone rested early.
Also: Thank you for your recommendation votes and monthly passes, and thank you for your encouragement and support.
I've rested early, good night, everyone.
