Chapter 364 The Emperor's Trip

After Fang Shaoshi invited these soldiers to drink and eat meat in the tavern, he returned to his residence contentedly.

It has regained its freedom and enjoys its current life very much. Although its status is not high, it is indeed a big man who promises everything in front of its peers.

Lying on the comfortable wooden bed made by human craftsmen, recalling the romantic affairs with those women during the day, my heart was agitated.

Wang Lang put down the book slowly, and said, "Did Fang Shaoshi go to the prison camp today?"

In the darkness, Lu Chi respectfully said, "Go."

"There's something unusual going on."

Lu Chi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, that guy just found a few female dragons, and he must have been bored here for the past few years."

Wang Lang laughed immediately when he heard the words: "This is also human nature, what else?"

"Also, that guy seems to be bringing out a prisoner from the prisoner camp, and he even gave that person a name."

Wang Lang was silent for a while and said: "Don't worry about this matter, if he wants those female dragons, he will agree to his request."

"Your Majesty, what should we do if one party has bad intentions when we are young?" Lu Chi said worriedly.

"No, what it has done has already turned its back on its race. It is safest to stay here with humans. It will have the same role as you in the future, except that you are monitoring the country, and it is responsible for going deep into the country. Inside the enemy, only it can do this." Wang Lang said slowly.

Lu Chi nodded and said: "Your Majesty, this guy is always a foreigner, so it's hard to guarantee that he will serve us wholeheartedly."

"Aren't there your Jin Yiwei?"

Lu Chi was taken aback when he heard the words, then smiled and said: "I understand."

"Okay, go down!" Wang Lang waved his hand.

"Yes!" Lu Chi bowed back, and the study returned to silence, except for the crackling sound from the oil lamp.

Wang Lang leaned on the back of the chair and let out a long and exhausted sigh.

After more than ten years of hard work, he finally brought mankind to where he is today. He found himself becoming darker and darker, and he was no longer the panic-stricken teenager in a strange world more than ten years ago.

Walking to the window, the bright moonlight shines on the earth, and there are a few chirping sounds of insects, making this night very peaceful and peaceful.

In the dim courtyard, Wang Lang frowned when he saw a figure walking in the courtyard.

"Why don't you go to sleep?" Wang Lang said slowly.

Hearing the words, the figure got up and saluted Wang Lang: "Your Majesty, let me see how these vegetables are growing. All the vegetables you like are grown here. You have been working too hard recently. I plan to cook some side dishes for you tomorrow." .”

Wang Lang's heart warmed up, "I have a heart!"

"I am your wife, and this is what I should do."

"Don't be busy, go to rest early, these vegetables can't escape here, even if you are talking about the imperial dining room, there will be vegetables delivered every day, you don't need to grow these things yourself!"

Fanxing wiped her hands, walked slowly to Wang Lang's side, and said, "I'm also bored, since you became the emperor, we sisters haven't been out of the palace for several years, so we can only grow a la carte to pass the time That's all."

Wang Lang took a breath and said, "It's hard for you."

Fan Xing said with a smile: "What is difficult is not difficult. Your Majesty is busy for the great cause of our mankind, and we can't help. As long as we don't make trouble, I will be satisfied."

Wang Lang held Fanxing in his arms, and said in a low voice: "Now the war is over, there is no threat to Xia Guo for the time being, so how about it, I will take you to the place where we used to live to see how it is in a few days."

Fan Xing asked suspiciously: "Where did you live? Which place?"

Wang Lang laughed and said, "Which other place is there? It's the place where we first met. I don't know what it's like there."

Fanxing heard the words and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, is what you said true?"

"Of course it's true. I'm also tired from the hard work of the past few years. It's good to go out for a walk."

But at the court meeting a few days later, when Wang Lang put forward this proposal, he was immediately opposed by Kong Er, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

"Your Majesty, it's more than two months away from the capital. The cost of the trip is comparable to that of an army. The country has no money now!"

The corner of Wang Lang's mouth twitched, and he said secretly: "I am the emperor, and I can't even pay for a trip. A few days ago, I made a promise to my woman. If I can't go, what will be the face of him?" .”

"Kong Aiqing, is there no other way?" Wang Lang asked as calmly as possible.

"No, Your Majesty, the country is now in the stage of resuming production, money is being used everywhere, and there is really no extra money and food for operations." Kong Er said firmly.

Wang Lang sighed and said, "Isn't it okay to bring less guards?"

As soon as the words fell, before Kong Er could say anything, Lin Huo, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, immediately stood up and said, "Absolutely not."

Arching his hands, he continued: "Your Majesty, you are the emperor. Your safety is not only related to the fate of the Xia Kingdom, but also the fate of mankind. Even if you want to go out with an army of at least 5000 people, you cannot appear Accident."

With these two ministers taking the lead, all the civil officials stood up to dissuade Wang Lang from canceling this absurd idea.

Wang Lang pinched his beard irritably, gritted his teeth and said, "In this case, how about I spend money from internal funds?"

"This..."

All the ministers looked at me and I looked at you, all of them focused on Kong Er for a moment.

"Your Majesty, the internal funds are used to repair the palace and maintain the palace. If the money is used, the money to repair the palace will come from He. If taxes are collected, how will the people survive?" Kong Er continued to retort.

Wang Lang smiled and said, "How about the palace not needing to be repaired within ten years?"

Seeing that Wang Lang was determined to go out, Kong Er could only sigh and said: "Since His Majesty insists on this, I have no objection."

The officials saw that Kong Er, who was in charge of money and food, agreed, so they naturally had no objections.

Travel matters are left to the various ministries.

Now that the trip has been decided, it has become a troublesome matter to choose those officials to accompany the emperor on the trip. The officials of all ministries hope to arrange their own people to go there. This is an opportunity to show their faces by the emperor. As long as they behave well, It's hard to guarantee that I won't be in the emperor's heart.

After more than ten days of busy preparations, the guard of honor of more than 5000 people finally set off in a mighty way.

When the people of Yancheng heard that the emperor was traveling, they put down their work one after another and rushed outside the city to greet this god-like existence in their hearts.

All ministers stay in the capital to handle political affairs, and Lin Shupi is responsible for the defense of the capital. This is the benefit of dividing power. If all things are left to the emperor alone, then the emperors since ancient times must be exhausted.

The safety of the emperor was entrusted to Heishi, who was over forty years old. This old minister who followed him since the migration years was now gray-haired, but his body was still strong. He was riding on the giant deer, and his figure was still the same. promoted.

The team moved forward slowly, Wang Lang sat in the car, looking out at the large farmland outside through the car window, his heart was agitated.

This is the country that I created by myself. The once barren land has become ten thousand acres of fertile land, and humans are no longer afraid of those wild beasts.

Fan Xing and Wang Lang's daughter Wang Lan sat in the car and looked at the beautiful scenery curiously. For this ten-year-old little princess, it was the first time he walked out of the palace at this time. She was not as free to play as her elder brother. , She didn't know why her father treated men and women so differently. At this moment, she also wanted to run freely like her brother who was riding a giant deer in front of her.

Wang Lang's second son, Wang Hai, looks very similar to Wang Lang. Although he is only over ten years old, he is quite tall. He rides on a huge deer and looks like a leading general.

"Uncle Shi, look at my riding skills!" Wang Hai said proudly when he came to Heishi.

Hei Shi nodded and said: "The second prince's riding skills have improved rapidly, and he is worthy of being His Majesty's son."

"How does it compare with my elder brother?" Wang Hai asked expectantly.

"It's still far away!" Heishi said truthfully.

Wang Hai curled his lips and said, "Brother is so powerful, I don't think I will surpass him in this life."

Hei Shi just shook his head and smiled, and did not answer Wang Hai's words. Even if he is a senior official, it is not easy to interfere too much in the emperor's family affairs.

At this time, Wang Hai suddenly said: "Uncle Shi, why didn't Cailing follow! I haven't seen her for a long time."

Heishi smiled and said: "The emperor is traveling, how can the little girl come with me, I have been crying for a long time because of this matter."

Wang Hai was a little depressed when he heard the words, and said, "Sister Cailing won't be so boring if she comes."

"My daughter also misses the second prince very much!" Hei Shi looked at Wang Hai with a half-smile.

Wang Hai looked at Heishi's eyes and suddenly blushed, and quickly changed the subject: "Uncle Shi, where are we going!"

"His Majesty's former home!"

"Father's house?"

Heishi nodded and said, "I haven't been there either. I heard that it's the place where His Majesty and the Queen met for the first time."

Wang Hai looked into the distance, his eyes were full of curiosity. He was born in a prosperous age, and he couldn't imagine what his father's home was like.

While Wang Lang was traveling, the disarmament policy began to be formally implemented.

According to the previously formulated plan, disarmament only disarms the army.

When the disarmament document was issued to the entire army, although the officers were very reluctant to reduce their ranks, this was after all a matter of God's instructions, and the soldiers were extremely excited to say that they could be disarmed and returned to the field.

After serving so many soldiers, they are finally able to reunite with their families. This day is more exciting for them than New Year's Eve.

Soldiers who are acquainted with each other gather together to imagine the life after retirement. The time in the army will be a precious memory in their lives.

Zhou Xiong was the most middle-level officer to avoid the fate of being dismissed. When those familiar subordinates packed their bags in the barracks and prepared to return home, he felt a little bit reluctant. These brothers who depended on each other and lived and died together, For him it is his family.

The soldiers looked at Zhou Xiong, laughed and said, "Boss, we are going home."

Zhou Xiong nodded, patted the soldier on the shoulder, and said slowly: "Work hard when you go back, don't do illegal things, don't embarrass our battalion, or else I won't have the yamen servants to arrest you, I will kill you first. "

"Hey, Boss, don't you trust us? After I go back, I plan to plant the land and have more cubs. But if you come to Dingyuan City in the future, you must find me. I'll treat you to a drink."

A soldier chuckled.

"Good! Good!" Zhou Xiong choked up.

"Idiot, what are your plans." Zhou Xiong asked a dull soldier.

"I want to learn from those craftsmen, and maybe become a carpenter in the future!" the idiot said slowly.

Everyone looked at the idiot in amazement, and a soldier joked: "Okay, idiot, I didn't expect you to have such an idea. I can't see it. Carpenter is a good craft. If you learn it well, you will have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life."

Hearing this, the idiot scratched his head and smirked.

The military camps all over the country are performing these scenes of parting. Those who stay are carefully selected elite soldiers. Watching the former comrades in arms leave the camp one by one, Nuo Da's military camp seems a little deserted.

Wang He sent off a group of comrades-in-arms, and returned to the barracks with some melancholy.

At this time, Hei Jiao opened the tent, walked in with a jar of wine, and said, "What's the matter, I'm downcast."

Seeing that it was Hei Jiao, Wang He got up quickly and said, "Uncle Hei, why are you here?"

Hei Jiao found a place to sit down carelessly and said, "Have a few drinks with Uncle!"

Wang He hesitated and said, "Uncle Hei, drinking alcohol is prohibited in the army."

Black Horn waved his hands indifferently and said: "It's okay, everyone is very sad to leave the brothers, today is a special case."

Wang He nodded, took the wine jar and found two big bowls, filled the wine, held up a bowl and said, "Uncle Hei, I respect you!"

"Boy, come on! Do it!"

After finishing speaking, the two bowls collided and drank it down.

Wang He paused for a drink and said, "Uncle Hei, although I understand the meaning of the father's actions, but I have been with those brothers for so long, and I feel empty when I leave suddenly."

Heijiao patted Wang Hedao: "Your Majesty, there is nothing we can do. The population of our Xia Kingdom is small. In recent years, despite the good food in the army, it is all saved by the people tightening their belts, let alone brothers. I miss home too."

"Home? I haven't been home for four or five years." Wang He murmured.

"You are almost 15 years old this year!" Black Horn asked.

Wang He nodded and said, "After the new year, you will be sixteen!"

"Sixteen is considered an adult. Back then, His Majesty was not much older than you. He took us out of the jungle. At that time, it was impossible to imagine today. Life was difficult at that time." Black Horn said with emotion.

Wang He nodded and said: "Father is a hero of mankind, I guess it will be difficult to reach his height."

Black Horn shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is also a human being, not a god. You are his eldest son. Your Majesty once said that each generation is better than the next. In the future, your achievements will surpass your Majesty's. After all, the future belongs to you young people. Now it is estimated that there will be no major battles for a long time, and your experience in the army is almost the same, so you should be filial to His Majesty's side."

Wang He didn't know why Black Horn said this to himself, and he was very puzzled.

This is Black Horn getting up and preparing to leave.

"Uncle Hei, are you leaving now?" Wang He got up quickly and said.

Heijiao nodded, and walked towards the outside of the tent, half drunk. When leaving the tent, Heijiao said casually: "Your Majesty has gone to the north, and he took the second prince with him."

After speaking, he walked out of the tent.

Wang He stood there stunned, savoring the meaning of Heijiao's words, his eyes narrowed.
