After Shen Hu and Chu Ying left the martial arts arena, they did not rush out of the palace, but went to the royal study.
He Xiang and Taishi Liu were also in the imperial study. They had just finished discussing important matters with Emperor Wu of Zhou.
Shen Hu and Chu Ying first saluted Emperor Zhou Wu, and then said impatiently: "Your Majesty, your youngest son is exactly the same as Prince Yiyong. Why have I never heard of you before?"
Is he exactly the same as Prince Yiyong?
Emperor Zhou Wu and He Xiang all looked puzzled when they heard this.
Chu Ying hurriedly added: "His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince has one dimple just like Prince Yiyong, not two."
Shen Hu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's what I said. His Royal Highness, like Prince Yiyong, only has one dimple."
Chu Ying added another sentence for him: "And they all have dimples on the left side." He added, "When Tiger saw that His Highness the Tenth Prince had only one dimple on the left side like Prince Yiyong, he thought it was very strange and insisted on coming to the Imperial Study Room to tell you about it. .”
Emperor Wu of Zhou said with a smile: "What's so magical about this?"
"Of course it's magical. This is the first time I've seen someone with a dimple like Prince Yiyong." This incident was very surprising to Shen Hu, "Your Majesty, don't you think it's magical?"
"Xiao Shi is eldest brother's nephew. What's the fuss about him having exactly the same dimples as eldest brother?" Don't listen to what Emperor Zhou Wu said now. He was very calm. When he discovered that Zhao Yao had a dimple on the left corner of his mouth, he felt that Very shocked, but also very surprised.
Shen Hu looked at He Xiang and Taishi Liu again. Seeing their dull expressions, he asked in shock, "You all know about this."
He Xiang and the others were too lazy to answer Shen Hu's stupid question.
"I just discovered it." Shen Hu was not interested in Emperor Zhou Wu's sons and had never looked at them carefully. "Your Majesty, does His Highness the Tenth Prince have a temperament similar to that of Prince Yong?"
When they were serving as soldiers under Prince Yiyong's tent, Shen Hu and the others were fortunate enough to receive guidance from Prince Yiyong. Prince Yiyong once taught them archery step by step, and also taught them the art of war.
Shen Hu and the others admired and admired the righteous and brave prince very much. Back then, when Prince Yiyong passed away, Shen Hu and the others cried like children.
"Xiao Shi likes sweets just like the big brother, and likes meat like the big brother." Emperor Zhou Wu said with a smile, "Xiao Shi writes with his left hand like the big brother." In fact, apart from their dimples, Zhao Yao and Prince Yiyong have many similarities. .
He Xiang and the others heard for the first time that His Highness the Tenth Prince had so many similarities with Prince Yiyong.
"Your Majesty, how strong is His Highness the Tenth Prince?" Prince Yiyong is very strong. It is not an exaggeration to describe him as being able to lift a mountain with his strength and bring an unparalleled energy to the world.
"This is not like big brother." Emperor Zhou Wu told Shen Hu and others about Zhao Yao secretly hiding meat at the celebration banquet.
Shen Hu and the others started laughing after hearing this.
Emperor Wu of Zhou recalled that Prince Qi Yong often did this kind of thing. Shen Hu and the others also knew.
When Prince Yiyong was still alive, he once took Shen Hu and others to steal food from other people's houses. They remembered that one time in the middle of the night, Prince Yiyong took them to steal chickens. Unexpectedly, that family had a dog. Prince Yiyong escaped first to cover them, and was bitten on the butt by the dog of that family.
At that time, Prince Yiyong was chased by a dog for several miles with his naked buttocks. They wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh at that time, but Prince Yiyong laughed first and said that he was wearing crotchless pants again.
At that time, they wanted to take off their pants and let Prince Yiyong wear them, but Prince Yiyong didn't care and walked around with his bare buttocks arrogantly.
Seeing how bold and unrestrained Prince Yiyong was, they also imitated his naked buttocks. At that time, a group of them were walking on the road naked, which was very funny and fun. Fortunately, it was half time and there were no people on the road.
They only stole a chicken and later made it a beggar's chicken. They were several grown men sitting together, fighting to eat a chicken.
Shen Hu and the others still think that the beggar's chicken they ate at that time was the most delicious. Since then, they have never had such delicious chicken.
Speaking of the beggar's chicken at that time, Chu Ying and the others were all greedy, with a nostalgic look on their faces.
Shen Hu said that Feng is the nature of Yu. He wanted to eat beggar's chicken, so he suggested: "Your Majesty, let's go steal the chicken and make it beggar's chicken."
He Xiang glared at Shen Hu: "On the anniversary of the late Queen's death, you asked the Emperor to steal chickens and become a beggar's chicken?"
After hearing what He Xiang said, Shen Hu finally remembered this matter. He smiled hurriedly at He Xiang and said, "Didn't I just think of something from the past and act on a whim?"
Emperor Wu of Zhou did not blame Shen Hu. He smiled and said: "It's not like we've never made beggar's chicken before, but we always made it taste like that night."
"This is really weird. The cooking method is the same as that night, but it just can't taste as good as that night." Shen Hu said naively, "The beggar's chicken that night was so delicious."
"It's not that the taste of the beggar's chicken has changed, but that the mood when eating it is different." Taishi Liu said, "For the same food, if the mood is different, the taste will naturally be different."
He Xiang said with a smile: "We were very hungry at that time, so of course everything we ate tasted delicious and fragrant." He added, "At that time, even if we ate a bowl of tofu, we would still find it very delicious. .”
"To be honest, everything I ate at that time tasted delicious." Nowadays, life has gotten better, and the food I eat has also gotten better, but I don't think the food tastes as good as before.
The few of them chatted about the past for a while, mostly about the war.
"Your Majesty, we have been in the capital and haven't gone out to fight for a long time. We are all too idle. When are you going to let us go out to fight?" Thinking of the days when he was galloping on the battlefield, Song Dekang felt more and more bored now. Too idle. "Your Majesty, please let me go to southern Xinjiang to help Lao Yan."
When Shen Hu heard this, he hurriedly said: "Boss, I will also go and help Lao Yan."
Before Emperor Wu of Zhou ascended the throne, Shen Hu and others called him "boss".
In the court, Shen Hu and others respectfully addressed Emperor Zhou Wu as "Emperor", but in private most of them still called him "Boss" as before.
Zhang Gong and Chu Ying also hurriedly said that they also wanted to help.
Emperor Wu of Zhou glared at Song Dekang and the others, and said angrily: "I also want to go to war, can I go?" Emperor Wu of Zhou liked and missed the days on the battlefield as much as Shen Hu and the others, but since he became the emperor, no one else It is not easy to go to the battlefield or even leave the palace. "You all go to this small southern border. You don't think it's embarrassing, but I still think it's embarrassing."
Zhang Gong said: "Then go conquer Shu. This is a tough nut to crack..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by He Xiang: "No, Shu can't and can't fight."
Zhang Gong and the others didn't like hearing what he said.
"He Xiang, you are trying to embolden other people's ambitions and destroy our prestige." Zhang Gong said unconvinced, "Why can't we defeat Shu?"
"That's right, how can a small Shu land not be able to defeat it?" Song Dekang said with disdain, "How can Han Zhong, that coward, be our opponent?"
Chu Ying strongly agreed: "I think Shu can be conquered."
Shen Hu echoed: "That turtle grandson of Han Zhong has been the earth emperor of Shu for so many years. If we don't destroy him, he will really think that he is the Jade Emperor."
"Shu is easy to defend but difficult to attack. You may not conquer Shu even if you fight for ten years." He Xiang said angrily, "Shu can be self-sufficient, but you will be out of food after two years of fighting at most."
"That's not the case..."
"You think there is a lot of food now." He Xiang suddenly became angry, "Currently, people in many places in the Zhou Dynasty do not have enough to eat, and the granaries in many places are empty."
Seeing that He Xiang was angry, Song Dekang and the others suddenly became as quiet as chickens, not daring to say anything more.
"After the emperor ascended the throne, the grain production in various places has increased slightly, but it is still not enough to feed the common people." When the topic of food was mentioned, He Xiang couldn't help but feel heavy, "Well, the previous dynasty destroyed a lot of fertile fields. Until now, the burned fields have not been restored. The fields that have been re-cultivated are not fertile, and one acre of land cannot yield more than a few kilograms of grain."
He Xiang and the others have all experienced days without food, so He Xiang is particularly concerned about food issues.
"You said that conquering Shu is easy. Where can I get the food from the land of Shu to give you?" He Xiang said coldly, "It is better to give you food to conquer the territory than to give it to the people so that they can have enough to eat. It is not easy to have peace now. , we can no longer start wars easily, the court cannot bear it, and the people cannot bear it. "
Taishi Liu continued what Xiang He said: "What we have to do now is to recuperate."
Song Dekang also understood what He Xiang and the others said, but he couldn't ignore it.
"Then let Han Zhong continue to be king and emperor in Shu?"
Emperor Wu of Zhou said: "Let him live happily for a few years first." He said, looking at Song Dekang and the others, "Shu will definitely be attacked, and you will be indispensable when the time comes. However, not now, now is not the time. "
"Boss, how many years does it take to wait? You won't want us to wait for ten or twenty years, right?"
"You will all be old by then, will you still be able to fight?"
"Boss, what you said means that we can fight even if we are seventy or eighty years old." Shen Hu exclaimed, "Boss, you don't really want us to wait for ten or twenty years, do you?"
"No need." If he waits another ten or twenty years, then he, the emperor's younger brother, will be too useless.
"Okay, Tiger and Yingzi, you go to Hulong Temple for me to guard." Emperor Wu of Zhou was not at ease with the prince going to Hulong Temple to pray alone. "In Hulong Temple, please be honest and don't eat meat secretly."
"Boss, no matter how greedy we are for meat, we can't eat meat on the death anniversary of the late Queen."
They are full of gratitude and respect for the late Queen, Shen Hu and others. They would never do anything rude during the anniversary of the death of the late Queen.
