In Jingzhi Hall, Boss Zhou is painting.
Next to the desk, there are crumpled papers.
Boss Zhou had just drawn a green pine standing proudly in the snow, and took a long breath: "How about this time."
"not good."
Wen Wu shook his head: "It doesn't suit the scene."
Boss Zhou lost his patience: "This doesn't fit the scene, and that doesn't fit the scene, so what do you think the painting should be?"
"The student thinks it's better to give some rewards, which are more affordable. He always paints this worthless crap...paints such wonderful paintings..."
Wen Wu grabbed the tea cup in front of Boss Zhou and took a sip: "Young Master Han doesn't like it either."
"Then what do you think I will reward you with? It's not good for you to be a high-ranking official. He is the emperor's personal soldier. He doesn't care. He doesn't care about generous salary. I still fucking expect him to live a good life. It's not the right time to be named a nobleman. It will harm him. .”
Boss Zhou scratched the back of his head irritably: "This bastard, too, why... why do you always have to worry about me? I don't even know how to reward him, hey."
Civil and military officials are also very sad, mainly because they are embarrassed. After all, they are emperors and can't reward others. How can they not be embarrassed?
After leaving Changyuan, the emperor was most worried about two things. One was that the people did not trust the court, and the other was that the imperial guards were not good enough.
Han You solved the Jingwei matter on the spot when he entered the palace and proposed a highly feasible solution.
As for the people, Han You established a "gonglu" without consulting the emperor.
The Gonglu Emperor saw it and was very impressed. Although it was not a quick thing, it could be planned slowly. Once it was completed, it would be a highlight for his new king Zhou Ke after he ascended the throne. It would be recorded in the annals of history and was far away from Mingjun. One step closer.
The more he looked at the "gonglu", the more delighted the emperor was. In the past, the emperor would have said that this was nonsense, but Han You's Four Seasons Villa did this, and there were ready-made successful cases, so it was just nonsense. It will become a real insight.
The emperor was filled with emotions. He used to think that he, the emperor, was protecting Han You, but now he suddenly realized that it was Han You who seemed to be protecting him at critical moments and getting things done quietly.
Especially in this comparison, people work for the emperor just to get promoted and make a fortune, but Han You is better off, Kaka was demoted, and after that, he also dispersed the wealth. From the initial commander-in-chief, he was demoted to Xiaoqi, and he almost couldn't be demoted anymore. I don’t have any savings in China, so if I have money, I invest it, either to let the people earn, or to benefit the country and the people.
It's fine once or twice, but it's always like this again and again. Even the thick-skinned Lao Ba feels embarrassed. The problem is that nothing will do.
Since there was no way to award a prize, Lao Ba had no choice but to paint. However, he felt that whatever he painted was inappropriate, and no matter what he painted, he could not express his inner guilt, joy, and many other emotions.
"Why don't I go to the villa to have a showdown with Han You?"
Wenwu: "..."
"You said..." Lao Ba said slightly uncertainly: "Can he agree?"
Mr. Suan said in a strange way: "Why don't you send Zhang Zhizhi there?"
"Imperial decree?"
"Yes, whatever Young Master Han wants, you can just write it down yourself."
"Fart!" Boss Zhou yelled: "If he writes about the palace and the throne, I really can't give it to him!"
Mr. Suan looked at Zhou Laoba as if he was mentally retarded: "Your Majesty, do you think Mr. Han would write like this?"
Boss Zhou was stunned for a moment, his old face turned red: "That's true, how could Han You be such a fool? If he was a fool, he wouldn't have accompanied me till today, but... isn't this too childish?"
"Whether or not the imperial edict contains content is secondary. Mr. Han will not write anything on it. What is important is that Your Majesty has this intention. Furthermore, didn't you give a blank imperial edict a few days ago? But at that time it was necessary When running an errand, follow the authority when the matter is urgent. After the errand was completed, Mr. Han did not return the imperial edict. He could just keep it as a plaything and pass it on to future generations."
"If you say so..."
Boss Zhou suddenly realized: "It's interesting, it's interesting, it's okay, that's fine, then let's do it like this. You can pick one later, and choose a clean one to send."
Eunuch Suan smiled and responded.
Boss Zhou was also very satisfied and cheerful.
At this moment, the imperial guard ran into the palace and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has arrived outside the palace and has come to the palace to meet the emperor."
"Dick?!"
Boss Zhou frowned: "Why is he back?"
The guard didn't say anything. How could he know? The captain on duty informed him.
Wenwu's face was also a little ugly, but he couldn't talk about such Tianjia matters.
"Zhou Tong, Zhou Tong."
Boss Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking of: "Pass it in, I'll wait for him here."
"yes."
The guard ran out in a hurry. Boss Zhou's face couldn't be said to be good-looking or not. He just squinted his eyes and said nothing.
Wenwu bent down to pick up the drawing paper on the ground and was about to throw it into the stove when the emperor shouted: "What are you doing? You can disguise yourself and sell it for another day. Wait a minute..."
Boss Zhou's expression changed: "I remember a few days ago, I asked you to leave the palace and sell my masterpieces. As for the money, it's not like you, a bitch, have been greedy for money."
"If you are greedy for ink, you are not greedy for ink. You ate it."
"have eaten?"
Wen Wu said angrily: "I went to Zhongnan City in Beijing and showed the painting to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper gave the student two naan cakes to satisfy his hunger."
"Are you looking in the wrong place?"
"I searched all over Nanshi, but that one offered a high price and gave me two naan pancakes."
Lao Ba: “…”
After Wenwu threw the broken paintings directly into the stove, and just as he was about to move the embroidery pier, Lao Ba shook his head: "Don't bother with it."
Eunuch Suan hesitated for a moment and then said: "Although His Royal Highness the King of Chu has military affairs, the weapons inspection and auxiliary barracks are not urgent matters. In addition, in winter, foreign races outside the customs will not invade in large numbers. Now is the New Year. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, the kings have not yet returned to the capital..."
"My family affairs have nothing to do with you." Boss Zhou snorted: "It's not the turn of an old slave like you to talk too much."
Mr. Suan said nothing and stood behind Boss Zhou.
After waiting for a while, Boss Zhou turned around and asked in an uncertain tone: "Is it just because you miss me?"
"I don't dare to talk too much about the affairs of the Tian family."
"You can do it now."
"Old slave, if you don't want to, you can."
Lao Ba scolded: "Believe it or not, I will beat you like a bastard!"
Wenwu rolled his eyes and looked at the palace ceiling, pretending not to hear anything.
Lao Ba sighed: "I can trust the northern frontier army, but in the three northern regions, powerful families are intertwined. Although Zichong Mansion in various places is loyal to me, the families have endless tricks, and the Ma family is not a serious problem now. , but the Zhu family is ready to make a move. The second son is in Beidi. If something happens, he can report it in advance. He has left Beidi and returned to Beijing. It would be better for the Zhu family not to cause any trouble. "
Wen Wu looked like he was hesitating to speak.
Nominally, he is the commander of the Yidao Guard. Outsiders think that Han You is responsible for the Yidao Guard, and Han You thinks so too.
In fact, it is not the case. There is also an "intelligence system" in the palace, but it relies on military reports and secret letters, which come from various military equipment.
Just half a month ago, a secret letter appeared in front of Wen and Wu. Regarding Chu King Zhou Tong and the North Zhu family, it only said that the Chu King had visited Pingzhou City many times, which was the Zhu family's headquarters.
However, without too many details, Wenwu did not inform Boss Zhou.
"Father!"
Arriving before anyone arrived, the second prince, King Zhou Tong of Chu, wearing armor, walked in quickly with excitement on his face.
"Tong'er."
Boss Zhou also smiled when he saw his second son. Looking at Zhou Tong, who looked very similar to himself, he showed a fatherly smile, a sincere fatherly smile.
