Protect Our Patriarch

…

Inside the palace, Xiyuan Lake.

The overall shape of this lake is close to a circle, the lake surface is wide, and the average diameter is about a hundred miles. Looking from a distance, it feels a little smokey.

It is like a jewel inlaid in the city of Guilong, but it is enclosed by the giant wall of the imperial palace, becoming the private "pool" of Emperor Longchang.

Within the palace, there are lakes and mountains, which shows its scale.

The water movement within the Xiyuan Lake is extremely abundant. When the aura gathers, it condenses into a visible fog. When the wind blows, a fluttering smoke cloud is formed on the lake surface, like a swarm falling into the world. The fairy lake in general.

A series of hydrophilic attic buildings are built by the lake, and the buildings are grand and magnificent, showing the style of the imperial family.

Such a huge building complex was even named "Linhu Xiaozhu", which shows that Emperor Longchang's taste is not so good.

In front of the water attic.

Emperor Longchang, dressed in casual clothes, was playing with an exquisite luya rod at the moment.

The long fishing line was thrown out of Li Xuyuan. He twitched and swung the artificial bait skillfully. His swimming style was cheap, as if to say to the carnivorous spirit fish in the lake, "Quickly." Come and eat me~ Come eat me".

Full of enchanting meaning.

Suddenly.

The tip of the pole sank downward.

"bingo!"

The Great Emperor Longchang was happy, and he slammed his pole, and he caught a big fish as expected.

He happily began to take up the line immediately.

"Your Majesty." At this time, Old Yao walked over in small steps and reported in a low voice, "Wang Shouzhe has already brought it and is waiting outside Xiaozhu. Do you want to announce..."

"Let him wait." The Great Emperor Longchang didn't lift his head, "I'm busy fishing."

Old Yao rolled his eyes inwardly.

Your Majesty, you want to see Wang Shouzhe, even without hesitating all kinds of explicit hints, after the failure, you specifically called him to come here "immediately." As a result, people are here now, but they want to leave it alone... this is not good.

"Why? As a great emperor, I feel angry in my heart. I won't be able to dry him for a long time?" Emperor Longchang snorted coldly, "Don't look at what he did? Even the emperor has specified it for us. I really thank him!"

"Since he has entered the palace now, it is like this fatty fish biting the bait hook, that is my plate of Chinese food, and it can't fly to the sky."

"On the basis of the things he did to me, I didn't ambush him with hundreds of swordsmen. It has already given him a lot of face."

The Great Emperor Longchang got more and more angry and slammed the fishing rod, but with a "click" sound, the fishing rod formed by the polishing and socketing of the purple spirit bamboo tip broke directly.

The big fish regained freedom, and immediately jumped out of the water, "swish" and swam several tens of feet away, and then dragged the pole to dive to the bottom of the lake.

"This..." The corner of Old Yao's mouth twitched, and he exclaimed, "Your Majesty's cultivation base has reached the point of'sing out and follow the way'?"

"Uh..." The corner of Longchang's mouth twitched, and he turned his head and glared at Old Yao, "Lao Yao, you have to wait on me for hundreds of years. If I can't bear to draw you, I dare to act recklessly. . Really when I can’t tell you are making fun of me?”

After that, he didn't see any movement, only a slight movement of his divine mind locked the spirit fish that had escaped hundreds of feet away.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor's divine mind moved, and the soul fish weighing hundreds of catties was supported by an invisible energy and flew onto the hydrophilic platform.

The big fish was still holding the fishing line in his mouth, flicking his tail, "Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?"

It looks like the emperor is very angry.

With a slight movement of his spiritual mind, he took off the hook from his mouth, and then kicked it into the lake again angrily.

As a senior fisherman, I naturally starve to death and don't bother to eat this kind of fish. I didn't catch the fish myself.

"Old Yao, call Wang Shouzhe's servant." Emperor Longchang said angrily, "I want to ask, how could the quality of the luya rods produced by his family be so poor? It made my fish run away."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Old Yao took the order and went to Xuan Wang Shouzhe with a funny heart in his heart.

In a short while, he led Wang Shouzhe and the accompanying King An Jun back.

Seeing the emperor standing by the lake with his hands on his back, silently, with a posture of "I didn't see you", he secretly smiled in his heart and couldn't help but wink his eyes at Wang Shouzhe quietly: "Wang Shouzhe, why don't you come to see your Majesty?"

"Chen, Shouzhe, the Patriarch of Changning Sixth Grade Wang Clan, pay homage to your majesty." Wang Shouzhe folded his hands and bowed in a respectful manner.

The King An on the side naturally salutes when he should salute.

Only then did Emperor Longchang turned around Shi Shiran and glanced at Wang Shouzhe.

I saw Wang Shouzhe dressed in a white robe, personable, and gentle like a spring breeze. Whenever he stops there, it is like an eye-catching landscape.

In contrast, let alone the children of the royal family, even the young people of the Dagan Wang family who are famous for their appearance and demeanor are actually inferior to him.

"Well, it looks good, and the temperament is so-so. It's rare. No wonder it can give birth to excellent children such as Li Yao and Zong An." Longchang said against his will, "That is, when he was younger, he was a bit inferior to me. Raise."

"Your Majesty Xie praised, minister, flattered." Wang Shouzhe's expression was calm and his expression was natural.

He knew his majesty's face was not thin, naturally he would not be surprised by it.

He easily took out the large and small packets of fruits and vegetables from the storage ring [Endless Abyss], and handed them to Lao Yao's hand next to him: "The minister knows that your Majesty does not lack anything, and I don't know what to send. These are. The melons and vegetables are all grown by Shouzhe in his spare time these days, so he should talk about his heart."

Fruits and vegetables?

The old face of Emperor Longchang trembled slightly.

You gave the emperor some fruits and vegetables as gifts? Not to mention it is planted in "leisure time".

Feelings, you ran all the way back to Longcheng, the main purpose is to grow vegetables, and then by the way to turn the dragon upside down, and determine the emperor's candidate?

He almost couldn't hold back, kicking Wang Shouzhe into the lake.

Fortunately, Emperor Longchang lived for more than three thousand years, and his Qi training was okay. He was busy taking a deep breath and kicking Wang Shouzhe's impulse under the pressure, and kept reminding himself.

Longchang, Longchang, you are a generation of great emperor. You must have a big belly and boldness, so that Wang Shouzhe's servant will not look down upon him, and he will stab the emperor secretly behind his back.

"Okay, Lao Yao, you send someone to the imperial dining room for processing, and I will have a drink with Shouzhe." The Great Emperor Longchang looked like "I am the emperor and I don't care about you".

"Yes, Your Majesty." Old Yao took orders.

"Come and come, Shouzhe, come and sit." Longchang the Great greeted Wang Shouzhe enthusiastically, let him sit in front of a chess stand, and said kindly like an elder, "Shouzhe, you are meticulous, smart, and you must be skilled in chess. It’s also quite superb. Come on, you and I will discuss two things."

Wang Shouzhe's cheeks trembled, and he thought to himself, Your Majesty, are you kidding me?

His poor chess power, Wang Shouzhe, has long been known to Dragon City.

Why is the Emperor Longchang looking for him to learn from? He was obviously full of resentment towards him, Wang Shouzhe, and wanted to vent his resentment, but there was no other way to find an excuse to play chess.

However, Wang Shouzhe's request was not easy to refuse, and immediately agreed: "Shouzhe takes orders."

After that, he took a pose and began to play against Longchang the Great.

Jun Wang on the side looked secretly funny.

Let's not talk about the chess power of Shouzhe, at least the posture is full, and it looks like a peerless master.

It's a pity, besides the gold and jade, it's lost among them~~

Shouzhe, he is purely a stinky chess basket.

as predicted.

After half a stick of incense, Emperor Longchang severely tortured Wang Shouzhe with the posture of autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves.

"Cool!"

The Great Emperor Longchang was like drinking a glass of Xuan Bingzhen fairy wine in a hot summer, and even the feeling of depression in his heart dissipated a lot.

Even with that, when he looked at Wang Shouzhe, he didn't seem to be so angry anymore, and he inadvertently plucked his eyes a bit.

"Your Majesty has exquisite chess skills, and Shouzhe is willing to go down."

Wang Shouzhe didn't feel much about losing chess, anyway, he got used to losing. With his chess power, he can abuse Wang Annan and the like on weekdays.

"Shouzhe, you must not be humble, I think your chess skills are also good, come, come, you and I will play another game."

How can such a cool thing be gone once?

Emperor Longchang was shining all his eyes.

Soon, the two began the second round.

After measuring Wang Shouzhe's chess power, the emperor played some new tricks in this game, first pretending to be lost, and then lure the enemy to go deeper, and finally came to a lore, killing Wang Shouzhe was stunned.

"Oh~ Shouzhe, do you think you are careless? If you are careless, you will lose all the games. Come on, let's have another one, I will give you a chance to come back." Longchang the Great is already blushing and refreshing. , Also feels very top.

Naturally it didn't feel much to abuse other stinky chess baskets, but it was Wang Shouzhe who abused it, so it was completely different.

Emperor Longchang felt that even if he abused Wang Shouzhe thousands of times, he would not feel bored.

An hour passed.

Two hours passed...

At first, King An was still watching with gusto, but when he saw it, he started to feel sleepy. Later, he went out for a long time and came back. As a result, Emperor Longchang was still playing chess with Wang Shouzhe happily. he.

In desperation, Junwang An had to go out for a long time.

Until the evening, the imperial kitchen brought all kinds of delicacies, and the Emperor Longchang, who had already abused Wang Shouzhe dozens of pieces, stopped.

He patted Wang Shouzhe on the shoulder: "Shouzhe, your chess skills are generally good, just a little bit worse than mine."

"Don't be discouraged, don't be discouraged. Discuss with me more to ensure that your chess skills grow rapidly."

In order to find another chance to abuse Wang Shouzhe in the future, Emperor Longchang praised his chess skills against his will.

Jun Wang looked at Wang Shouzhe sympathetically.

Speaking of it, Shouzhe was also planning for him, and only then offended His Majesty and suffered "retaliation." If there is a chance, he must compensate Shouzhe well.

Soon, the imperial kitchen and the internal guards set up a home-cooked banquet on the water platform.

The Great Emperor Longchang, who was so comfortable with the abuse of King Shouzhe, immediately invited Wang Shouzhe to have a drink and asked King An to accompany him.

Among the dishes sent by the imperial kitchen, a small part of them were the melon and vegetables brought by Wang Shouzhe, and most of them were carefully prepared by the imperial kitchen.

After all, it was the Great Emperor Ling Xu. Although the dishes on this table were "home-made", the cards were still full. Emperor Longchang also specially prepared a lot of Tier 7 ingredients for Wang Shouzhe to compensate for the dozens of rounds that Wang Shouzhe was abused just now.

"Shouzhe's skill in growing vegetables is good." The Great Emperor Longchang ate two chopsticks vegetables, and suddenly raised his brow slightly, a little surprised.

Although they are just ordinary spiritual vegetables, the variety is nothing special, but the taste of these spiritual vegetables is a bit richer and more tasteful than ordinary spiritual vegetables.

"If your majesty likes it, Shouzhe can pay tribute to your majesty on a regular basis." Wang Shouzhe said modestly. "If you can be branded as tribute, these fruits, fruits and vegetables will surely sell well."

"Haha, then it's settled." Longchang the Great smiled and praised, "Shouzhe, you really deserve to be a famous **** of wealth. You can make money if you catch the opportunity. Come, this wine is also a tribute. It is produced by a sixth-grade family in Tianfu County."

"Good wine, good wine."

Wang Shouzhe was not greedy for wine, and after a few drinks, he couldn't help but admire.

Sure enough, it is an extremely rare jelly, which is much better than Wang's wine sold to the outside world.

Sure enough, this world cannot be underestimated. After all, human beings have multiplied and developed in this world for such a long time. With the accumulation of time, there are more families with various secret methods.

"If Shouzhe likes it, take some back and drink slowly." Longchang the Great said enthusiastically.

At this time, he behaved like an amiable "elder", as if he was not the person who abused Wang Shouzhe before.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Shouzhe did not refuse.

After three rounds of wine.

As we chatted, the strangeness between the two parties dissipated a lot.

After drinking a few more glasses of wine, Emperor Longchang's face became even more ruddy: "Shouzhe, you can see from the two kings Kang and An, who is the truly outstanding emperor. This is a very good person. High. I drank some wine today, and there were no outsiders present. Why don't you comment on me?"

When the old Yao next to him heard it, he couldn't help rolling his eyes secretly.

Your Majesty is as careful as always, this is about to turn over the old accounts.

He quietly blinked at Wang Shouzhe vigorously, reminding him not to be fooled.

Wang Shouzhe is also a clever person. Even if he reacted, he bowed in fear: "Your Majesty is the honor of the emperor. How can Shouzhe and his virtue, dare to comment on your Majesty?"

snort!

Wang Shouzhe, you stinky boy, do you still deliberately talk about me in private?

Don't think that I don't know. When you were in Changning Wei's hometown, you had a few drinks with Long Wuji. Didn't you give me a thorough comment from beginning to end?

The Great Emperor Longchang sneered in his heart, and murmured to himself, but on the surface he pretended to have a generous attitude: "It's okay, it's okay, I've lived for thousands of years. I haven't seen anything, and haven't heard anything? Feel free to comment, and I won’t let you be guilty of words.”

"Could it be that you have to wait for me to give you a special purpose? Hahaha~~"

"this…"

The emperor had all talked about this, but Wang Shouzhe couldn't push it a bit.

He pondered a little, and said, "If the minister is not good, your Majesty really doesn't blame it?"

"That's nature. I am a great emperor of a dignified generation, and I must be able to keep a promise."

The Great Emperor Longchang waved his big hand, and he looked like "sonically and powerfully" and "belief in words", but he secretly added a word in his heart.

Hey~Wang Shouzhe, you stinky boy, if you are really bad at speaking, of course I will not blame you.

But if you dare to talk nonsense, speak insincerely, and flatter me without principle, don't blame me for pulling your pigtails.

Humph~~ I will give you all those words that you deliberately discussed in private at the beginning~~

"Since your Majesty's Chrysostom has opened, then Shouzhe will say a few words." Wang Shouzhe pondered for a while, and said, "Your Majesty is powerful, fierce in combat, and extremely good at ruling the army. , And also use one enemy two, and fight against two empires at the same time with the power of one country."

"Such talent is placed in the Shenwu Dynasty, and he must be a well-known army commander, and may even be the generals."

This sounded comfortable, quite reasonable.

The Great Emperor Longchang was enjoying Wang Shouzhe's flattery, and he was secretly refreshed, but at the same time he secretly smiled.

Wang Shouzhe, Wang Shouzhe~~ You really are still a vulgar person, you only dare to make false claims about me behind your back, and dare not say it face to face.

I will first listen to you flattering, and after the wave is over, I will punish you for the crime of falsehood.

At that time, it's up to me to round or flatten you.

Wang Shouzhe didn’t know the emperor’s thoughts, he paused, and continued: "Your Majesty is very good at pioneering. In his life as King’s Landing, not only has the land area more than doubled, but the population has also prospered a lot. He is a rare pioneer."

"It's reasonable, and it's reasonable~" Emperor Longchang was full of enjoyment, "Shouzhe, you are really my confidant. You can say more."

"But..." Wang Shouzhe paused and continued, "Because your majesty is good at fighting, he has vigorously supported the military after he became the throne. From army building to the military family, a complete military and military system has been formed."

"In order to obtain the support of your majesty's policy, many aristocratic families turned to join the army and became military families, and their families became soldiers for generations."

"Huh?" Emperor Longchang's face was stagnant, "What's wrong with this? Ordinary families assist in managing and developing the place, while military families are full-time military, and they cooperate with each other to complement each other."

"The general direction and strategy is indeed not a big problem. However, most military and military families do not produce, and only rely on health taxes, county taxes, and national taxes to support them. His Majesty has always been generous to military and military families. Over time, the number of troops has changed. As a result, most of the health tax, county tax, and even national tax collected from various places have to be divided to maintain military expenditures. Naturally, there is not much money left to manage and develop local areas. Yes. Your Majesty’s move is suspected of being a'plenty soldier'."

The Great Emperor Longchang's face turned dark, and he just wanted to say "Wang Shouzhe, are you teaching me to do something?", but then I thought about it again, didn't he tell him to speak? He also issued a guarantee in advance so that he would not be guilty of words.

In desperation, he had no choice but to refute with a cold face: "Shou Zhe's words are not correct. Nowadays, there are many foreign enemies, and there are extraterritorial battlefields that need troops to guard. Without increasing military investment, how can we keep the enemy under control?"

"Your Majesty, the extraterritorial battlefield is the common responsibility of the human race. I will not mention it for the time being. Just talk about the Western Jin and Southern Qin. Your Majesty has one enemy and two seemingly prestigious, but why can't you pull one against one? Besides, what is the purpose of your majesty's war?"

"Naturally want the other party to surrender to the big task." Emperor Longchang's temper gradually grew, "If there is no iron-blooded army, how can you conquer them?"

"Your Majesty's words are of course reasonable. They can train the army and fight wars, and all fights are money. Without a sufficient source of money, how to win the war?" Wang Shouzhe talked openly, "Even the King of Kang knows, smuggle first After a wave of corruption, make more money, and then go to war outside the field. Only in this way can soldiers fight for their lives without fear of death, and win battles again and again."

"Wang Shouzhe, do you mean that I am not as good as King Kang?" Emperor Longchang's brows rose upside down.

"That's not true, the emperor is still better than King Kang..."

"Strong?" The emperor raised his brows.

"The emperor's battles were often for some enthusiasm. For example, the Western Jin Dynasty was disrespectful to the emperor, so he immediately opened an army to kill him, until the other party issued an apology, and the emperor returned with his majesty..."

"The minister would like to ask, after our army has the advantage, why not let the Western Jin cedes the land and pay compensation? Even if they don't agree, they must be asked to make contributions every year."

"In this way, the Western Jin Dynasty can consume a batch of resources and national strength every year, and the big leaders can earn military salaries to support the army."

The Great Emperor Longchang flicked his face and said in anger: "You know what a shit, the Western Jin Dynasty borders us are poor places, there are no fields or mines, what use are those broken places? It is even more impossible to provide money every year The Western Jin Dynasty will work hard with us."

"Your Majesty, I'm just giving an example. In short, winning the war can't be no good, right?" Wang Shouzhe said "frankly", "at least the least, but also has to take advantage of trade tariffs, for example, we will do some specialties. The product is tax-free, and the product can be used to enter the Western Jin Dynasty. It can make money and squeeze its domestic counterparts in the Western Jin Dynasty..."

"The words of a profiteer." Emperor Longchang's eyelids twitched a few times, and then said honestly, "We don't have any products that are better than others, but we have to prevent them from coming to work and destroying our business system."

"This remark is sufficient to prove that your Majesty is good at fighting but not good at internal affairs, and he is suspected of being very happy." Wang Shouzhe said the truth.

So happy to work!

This kid actually dared to say these four words in front of him...

The Great Emperor Longchang didn't have a spit of old blood, and pointed at him angrily: "You, you, you...you dare to argue with me like this?"

"Your Majesty...you asked Shouzhe to say. Shouzhe is not good at lying." Wang Shouzhe looked innocent, "If your Majesty wants to stop, the minister, the minister just shut up."

"Don't... stop." The Great Emperor Longchang gasped and said angrily, "Go on. I want to listen, what else do you think?"

"Your Majesty chooses someone from the military and martial family to serve as the city guard and the county guard. There is a suspicion that the military and government are not separated." Wang Shouzhe continued, "The development of a place requires full-time personnel to be responsible for the management and governance of the county. The responsibility of guarding is more the military responsibility of guarding the place, rather than the guardian of the city, who is the master of one guard...Just ask the guards of the city are from a family of military and martial arts. They are transferred every 20 years and 30 years, and they can have a bit of sincerity. Can you develop a good local economy if you can? This government structure is really absurd~"

"You, you, you, you mean I'm faint?" Emperor Longchang's face became pale and red.

"It's not that your majesty is a stunned monarch. It's just that Shouzhe thinks that there is an economy to have military strength. Your majesty can use some energy to see how to develop a good local economy. For example, a while ago, Longzuo County Governor Shi Ankang took it. Your Majesty is looking for the development plan, but because of his own good, your Majesty has repeatedly pushed back... It shows the contempt for the word'economy'." Wang Shouzhe said seriously.

"Good, good~ what else?" The Great Emperor Longchang was breathing fire in his eyes, "Say! I order you to tell the truth!"

"Your Majesty was too majestic when he was young, but he was too kind when he was old, and he was not good at managing the family." Wang Shouzhe said honestly, "During this period of time, princes, county princes, and even ordinary royal families have been constantly exploding. There have been all kinds of absurd scandals. Of course, the main reason for this is that they are not righteous, but after all, your Majesty still has the responsibility of lax discipline..."

"and also…"

"Wait!" Longchang Great Emperor stretched out his face flushed to stop.

"Your Majesty asks the ministers to shut up? The ministers can take orders." Wang Shouzhe respectfully saluted.

"No, no, no, I just need to slow down and take a breath first." The Great Emperor Longchang glared at Old Yao angrily, "Lao Yao, are you blind? Didn't you see the trauma of the spirit and soul I suffered when I was young? Where's Anshen Baodan?"

"Yes, your majesty, please take a break first."

Lao Yao reacted very quickly. He hurriedly took out a treasure pill and fed it to Emperor Longchang. Then he stared at Wang Shouzhe and said, "Shouzhe, you are not sensible. Secretly hurt, I don’t know how to converge. For today’s review, let’s stop here."

What?

Is there a hidden wound in your majesty's soul?

Wang Shouzhe looked inexplicable.

He has never heard of this information?

"It's okay, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, that's it for today." Wang Shouzhe arched his hand.

The Great Emperor Longchang breathed a sigh of relief as if he was relieved, and secretly said, if you continue to curse, Lao Tzu will die on the spot.

He immediately pretended to look weak and "weak" and said, "Thank you Shouzhe and compassionate. However, this is not because I don't listen to others. In fact, Shouzhe's words are quite thought-provoking, and they can be regarded as good words. It's a pity, my body today...oh~"

"If your majesty wants to hear it, after the minister returns, he can write down what he said today and compile it into a book, and his majesty can keep it and watch it slowly." Wang Shouzhe said with "compassionate understanding", "if necessary, Shouzhe can also later Go back to reunite with the lady and stay in Kyoto for a period of time. If your Majesty needs it, you can call Shouzhe to comment at any time."

I thank you!

Emperor Longchang almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Wang Shouzhe, do you really want me to die sooner?
