Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 239: Suppressing bandits?

How the battle goes at night depends on how energetic he is the next morning. Not to mention that this Medicine King is very fierce. He was so fierce that in the second half of the night Xia Lin felt that the blood vessels in his head were about to burst. When he thought about it, he realized that the Medicine King said to take one pill, but he actually took three pills.

I got up early in the morning to drink water, and I vomited until I felt a little better.

After all this trouble, how could he be energetic the next morning? So when Tian En came to summon him to meet His Majesty for breakfast, even Tian En couldn't help but complain when he saw his face.

"I'm telling you, you, I just told you yesterday not to indulge yourself. Go look at yourself in front of the bronze mirror. I'm sixty years old, but I look more energetic than you. Go wash your face with cold water. You have to see His Majesty later. If he sees you like this, I don't know how angry he will be."

Xia Lin staggered over to the well, drew a large basin of cold water, pressed his head into it and soaked it for thirty seconds. Only then did he feel a little more awake.

But even so, I still felt like my body was about to fall apart, and I was staggering when I walked.

Tian En was helpless seeing him like this, he could only pull him aside, take off his shoes, took out a nanmu cone from the cloth bag on his waist and started pressing it on the soles of his feet.

Xia Lin was pressed to the point of being almost dead at that time, but the pain also triggered the body's excitement mechanism. Once the adrenaline came up, he suddenly became energetic.

"Put on your shoes and follow me quickly."

Xia Lin limped out of the door with Tian En. On the way, he asked curiously, "Big friend, where did you learn this technique? It's a bit rough."

"It's good to have it." Tian En sighed, "Ever since His Majesty came back from your place last time, he has been clamoring for someone to massage his feet again. I figured that there aren't many people in the capital who have that skill, and I don't dare to bring those barbarians to the palace casually, so I figured it out myself. His Majesty tried it a few times and thought it was pretty good."

"Your Majesty is kindhearted and cannot bear to hurt your kindness. Really, Otomo... Even killing a pig doesn't have as much strength as you do. Your Majesty can really bear it?"

"You little brat, you're still talking too much after I massaged your feet. Don't worry about that. This time it will take longer, so I will learn." Tian En walked forward with his head held high: "But speaking of it, you are getting better and better. The water curtain room where His Majesty lives is actually cold in the middle of summer. I woke up from the cold several times last night. I had to add a quilt to the bed to feel safe."

"It's just a trifle, not worth mentioning!" Xia Lin waved his hand and said, "No, I'll build a house for your majesty in the capital that's warm in winter and cool in summer."

"Really? But Your Majesty has always been frugal..."

"Oh." Xia Lin waved his hand: "It's nothing. Building a small building like this might only cost a few hundred taels of silver. It doesn't matter if I pay for it, Your Majesty."

"Can it really keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer?"

"Not only is it warm in the winter and cool in the summer, but you can also have hot water to take a bath in the winter."

Tian En found it interesting after hearing this: "That's great."

In fact, this thing is very simple. It is the heating principle of Northeast China. What's the use of burning a boiler? The pipes are wrapped around the house several times, and the steam brings the heat to the room through the pipes, and then the condensed water returns to the boiler. Several people go back and forth to add coal and water every day.

Ordinary people might have a hard time, but it was easy for the emperor to do this. He didn't almost die in the furnace room like Xia Lin did.

As for the cost? How can we talk about the cost of the royal family? As long as it is comfortable, it is all right. In the summer, we bring water to cool down. The room does not need to be particularly large. It is 50 square meters with two floors. The upper floor is for sleeping and the lower floor is for studying. Next to it is a boiler hot spring area. In the coldest days of winter, we can take a hot bath and then return to the room with a temperature of more than 20 degrees. Once we put on our pajamas, Xiaoshu will see that life is as comfortable as we want. In the summer, we can take a hot bath. After the bath, we can go back to the room to enjoy the breeze brought by the temperature difference, and then eat some fruits and vegetables cooled by well water.

Oh, this is the day a real emperor should enjoy. Don’t think that he should go to Huaqing Pool to take a bath and then stop attending court early in the morning. That thing doesn’t work. To really enjoy it, you have to rely on modern technology.

When we arrived at where Emperor Hongbao was staying, he and Chai Shao were sitting in the small pavilion in the yard, eating breakfast they had just bought from outside, and playing chess on the chessboard in front of them.

Seeing Xia Lin coming over, Emperor Hongbao asked him to sit down, and then he said, "It just so happens that today I am doing justice for Sichang, and I have something to ask you."

"Your Majesty, please ask." Xia Lin glanced at Chai Shao beside him and pointed at the things in front of him and said, "Is this my share?"

Chai Shao nodded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Just as Xia Lin was eating, Emperor Hongbao spoke up: "Tell me in detail what happened during the days you spent with Princess Pingyang."

"it is good."

Xia Lin finished the tofu pudding in a few gulps, then wiped his mouth and began to reminisce, starting from the first time they met.

"Because the prince went to the capital to worship Buddha with Your Majesty, my eldest brother-in-law went to Qianzhou to manage agriculture and mulberry. The only ones in the family who can be equal to Princess Pingyang in status are my second brother-in-law and my precious wife. Your Majesty...you know your nephew."

Speaking of the second brother, Emperor Hongbao himself laughed. He sighed, stroked his beard and said, "That black bear-like character is not so suitable."

"Yes, so I am the only one left who can be of use. At this time, I have to entertain Princess Pingyang. The first mutton banquet I prepared for her was prepared by a master chef from the grassland. The roasted lamb was sizzling with oil. Oh! With one cut of the knife, the juicy meat overflowed with fragrance. Dipped in the grassland chive sauce and the spices of the Western Regions, it was full of fragrance. Oh... Your Majesty, I will also arrange a meal for you at noon."

At this moment, Chai Shao beside him had actually swallowed his saliva, and even Emperor Hongbao moved his throat, but he quickly stopped Xia Lin from speaking: "Let's talk about what happened at noon at noon. You should make it clear first, as it is a matter of great importance."

"I was having a serious meal with Princess Pingyang at the time. She has a low alcohol tolerance but a strong addiction to alcohol. I told her not to drink, but she told me to get out of the way and then she picked up the bowl and guzzled down three bowls. Even a donkey would fall asleep after three bowls of that strong liquor, let alone a princess from a royal family. Then she fell asleep, and I asked the maid to help her into the house. I didn't even touch the hem of her clothes the whole time. There were no less than thirty witnesses."

Xia Lin rubbed his nose after he finished speaking. "The second scene was at the Tengwang Pavilion. Your Majesty has been to the Tengwang Pavilion. The scenery there is absolutely beautiful. At that time, in order to show off the beauty of Jiangnan Road, I specially asked people to light fireworks. Princess Pingyang was so happy that she started to shout again... Your Majesty, Commander Chai, I swear to God, there were at least 70 or 80 maids and servants at the Tengwang Pavilion. What could I do? Later, I had someone send the princess back to the palace in a carriage, and I slept at the Tengwang Pavilion myself."

"There were several more times after that, all in the major restaurants in Hongdu Prefecture, all of which were famous restaurants. I thought it was not easy for the princess to come all the way here, so I did my best to entertain her. I didn't ask for her to feel at home, but at least I couldn't let Prince Tang find fault with us. Every time, the place was full of guests and friends, and every time, there was a huge crowd of people. This last time was also on a cruise ship. The princess stayed in the best room, and I lived next door to her guard named Li. That guard had better ears than a rabbit. From beginning to end, I never stayed in the same room with the princess alone."

Emperor Hongbao nodded: "I do believe this. Pingyang doesn't like you with your weak arms and legs. She is a serious female general. Tell me what's the matter with the golden armor? Why did she send such a valuable thing for no reason?" "It's not for no reason. Do I have the final say on that thing? She came to Jiangnan Road once, one to do business and the other to ask the prince for the armor and equipment used to suppress the rebellion last time. Those things are difficult to make and very expensive. Jiangnan Road just finished a war and there are really not that many things to take out. Even if there is no shortage of money, there is really no such amount of work. So my father Guo discussed with me that there are really not many war supplies, and we should see if we can find some for the King of Tang from somewhere else."

Xia Lin sighed when he said this: "I was thinking about compensating the loss of the things in gold, and then I thought that the princess is a female general, it would be a great thing to get a golden armor. Who knew that it would cause such a big thing. I have already told General Chai on the way. If you don't believe me, General Chai can check it out for yourself. According to the price at that time, is the armor worth the same as the goods that the princess didn't bring back?"

Chai Shao nodded: "That's true."

Emperor Hongbao sighed, and patted the back of Chai Shao's hand: "Sichang, I have wronged you. When I granted you the marriage, I really did not expect it to be like this. It's my fault."

Chai Shao, the eagle-like man, had tears in his eyes. He turned over and knelt on one knee in front of Emperor Hongbao: "How can your majesty be blamed for this? Your majesty has always regarded me as his son or nephew. How could Sichang not understand this? I didn't say anything just because I didn't want to embarrass your majesty, but who would have known... who would have known that Pingyang would go too far."

"Alas... we haven't shared the same room for ten years, hehe." Emperor Hongbao's expression became helpless and gloomy: "I really don't know whether he is dissatisfied with you or me."

He pointed at Xia Lin and said, "Look at him. He just got married to Changle and he already used medicine."

"Ah, ah, ah! Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Xia Lin hurriedly explained: "It's not that I can't do it, I just want to try the strength of the Medicine King's medicine."

Wait, no sex in ten years?

Xia Lin suddenly reacted. He stretched his head out of curiosity and said, "General Chai, have you not had sex for ten years or are you not allowed to touch me after you return from here? I heard you say that before and I thought you were not allowed to touch me these days."

"Ten years!" Chai Shao no longer cared about his shame: "She has not let anyone touch her for ten years!"

"Is this a marriage or an enmity?" Xia Lin's pupils trembled. "You haven't let your man touch you for ten years after marriage? Your man goes out to find a woman and you want her to humiliate him in public? What the hell is this logic?"

"That's right." Chai Shao also rolled up his sleeves: "What's the logic behind this!"

"Divorce! Must divorce!" Xia Lin also slammed the table excitedly: "Not to mention the princess, even the empress is not acceptable."

Emperor Hongbao raised his foot and kicked him on the butt: "You little bastard, you are talking nonsense!"

Then he said to Chai Shao: "Have you told the King of Tang about this?"

"I haven't said it. If I had said it, I'm afraid Pingyang would still hate me."

Xia Lin exclaimed in a low voice beside him: "Fuck... the licker is really awesome."

At this moment, Chai Shao seemed to have become more resolute. He knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together and said to Emperor Hongbao: "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me! I can't live like this for another day."

Emperor Hong Bao raised his head and looked at Xia Lin, and Xia Lin also spread out his hands, meaning that which man can survive this kind of life?

Well...it's okay if she doesn't allow me to touch him, but if she doesn't allow others to touch her, that's really going too far. Chai Shao is the eldest son of the Chai family. Other people's children at his age are already seven or eight years old, but he is still single.

"I will give you a princess as compensation. Which one do you like?"

Xia Lin coughed at this moment: "Changle can't do that, Changle is already married."

"Get lost!" Emperor Hongbao shouted, "You are everywhere!"

Chai Shao shook his head to indicate that he didn't know, but Xia Lin once again used his passive skill of the King of Ideas: "Princess Xunyang! Princess Xunyang is beautiful, and she's almost twenty now, isn't it just right? She and Governor Chai are a perfect match, and the degree of compatibility is quite high."

"Xunyang?"

Emperor Hongbao recalled for a moment, then nodded: "Well, Xunyang is good. That is Xunyang, Sichang, you don't have to go back to Longcheng anymore, you should come back and be my Qianniu attendant. Staying by my side will make me feel more at ease."

This is not an exaggeration. Although Chai Shao was hesitant about women, he was a fierce general whether in battle or as a guard. He was both smart and flexible. Otherwise, he would not have entered the Lingyan Pavilion in the official history.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live the emperor."

This matter seemed to have a perfect ending, but in fact it was no less than a slap in the face to Emperor Li Yuan of Tang, so Emperor Hongbao did not look very happy.

At this time, Xia Lin leaned over and whispered, "Your Majesty, this is not appropriate. It will not look good if we do it this way."

This sentence confused Chai Shao. He looked at Xia Lin in astonishment and almost asked, "Where are you from, brother?"

Emperor Hongbao knew that this kid had many crooked ideas, so he asked curiously: "So what are you going to do?"

"Well... my meaning is actually very simple. If things have come to this point, then Commander Chai should just bear with it. He went to the capital to file a complaint, but His Majesty refused to approve it. So Commander Chai told His Majesty about the gossip about Princess Pingyang. His Majesty didn't believe it, so he sent someone to investigate. After a lot of investigation, they found Princess Pingyang's brothers and sisters. Hey... this is their own family matter.

His Majesty only told Li Yuan the result, and then after returning, His Majesty used the incident to say that it was General Chai who falsely accused the princess, and sentenced them to divorce, and then demoted him three levels and returned to serve as a Qianniu Beishen. From then on, the Li family would come to beg for mercy as long as they still had face, and then His Majesty would say that the king is not joking, since they have already divorced, then they can be divorced, and compensate the Chai family with a princess. As for their side, they will handle it themselves, and the whole thing will be pushed onto Princess Pingyang. After all, anyone who is reasonable knows what it means to not let their own man penetrate for ten years. "

Emperor Hongbao narrowed his eyes and said, "Why do you have so many evil thoughts at such a young age?"
