Lu Zhe stayed in Weiyang Hall for four days, which was a full four days! The first thing he did after coming out of the hall was not to stretch his waist, but to twist his stiff neck to look at the setting sun, where the sky was like blood.
In these four days, he answered countless questions, and the most asked question was not Yingzheng, but Tu Sui, who was about to go to the south to command an army of 500,000 to attack the southern barbarians.
It may be the relationship between ordinary hard work, Tu Sui has two sideburns and white Tu Sui, and his age is only nearly fifty, and the whole person does not look luxurious at all, if you don't look at your identity and then put on sackcloth, you are no different from the old farmer.
And Wang Ben, who is also over forty years old, looks no different from the prime of life in his thirties, but the difference is too big.
Compared to Tu Sui, who was eager to know the effect of building a city, Wang Ben of the Wang clan was also active, but he didn't seem to care too much about whether the new method of building a city was useful.
Others may not know the way, but Lu Zhe, who is responsible for answering doubts, can judge from Wang Ben's questions that Tu Sui is treating it with a very serious attitude, and the questions are all asked to the key points, while Wang Ben's questions are more like pretending to show the emperor.
Out of Xianyang Palace, Lu Zhe finally saw an acquaintance, it was Xu Yang who was standing next to the carriage not far away.
It seemed that he also saw Lu Zhe coming out of the palace gate, Xu Yang greeted him happily, the sturdy boy who was more than two meters old was just about to speak, but he saw Lu Zhe spread his arms and make a hugging posture, the two just hugged each other and he was about to speak, and there was a snoring sound in his ears.
Looking at the brother with black eyes in surprise, and then at the haggard face, Xu Yang seemed to be a little puzzled about what was going on.
In the past few days, since Yingzheng brought a lot of craftsmen who were skilled in engineering, Lu Zhe also had to deal with all kinds of questions about architecture, and he could only sleep less than two hours a day, which was exhausting. Those two hours of sleep were still sneaking naps when the hall was empty. Except for a small amount of sleep, there is a lot of eating and drinking, but to be honest, I can't eat anything at all in a state of lack of mental energy.
Almost the whole way of holding and supporting, Xu Yang helped Lu Zhe into the carriage and lay down, then closed the door and drove the car in person, and when he returned to Xu's mansion, it was already nightfall.
The Xu Mansion occupies a larger area than the Zhang Mansion, and in terms of the number of servants, it is not comparable to the family of a school captain in Zhang Han. However, there is one thing in common, the nobles of the Qin State under the reign of Ying Zheng have not yet developed the style of extravagance, except for the necessary buildings and flowers and plants, there are no pavilions for fun, and there are no luxurious decorations in the house.
Xu Yang arranged Lu Zhe in his room, and just settled his dead brother, there was a servant there who said that the head of the family was summoning.
The person who came didn't say who to summon, Xu Yang hesitated again and again and did not wake up Lu Zhe, and went to see the patriarch by himself.
Seeing Xu Yang who came in a hurry, Xu Yan's first words were: "Your virtuous brother can't wake up from a sound sleep?" ”
Xu Yang saluted respectfully before responding, and his voice was simple.
General Lantian of Great Qin, the head of the Xu clan, Xu Yan motioned for the juniors in the clan to sit down, and said in a slow tone: "Your virtuous brother has dug a pit and buried the internal conspiracy in it." ”
"Huh!?" Xu Yang was startled for a moment, and asked cautiously: "How is it good?" ”
Xu Yan reprimanded, "Why are you still so impetuous", and reached out to pat Xu Yang's head, before continuing: "It's a good thing for you, and even a good thing for my Xu family." After a pause, he suddenly laughed, "Meng Yi is angry, who knows that this matter is also a good thing for Montessori." ”
Xu Yang, who looked dazed, said honestly: "Family master, Yang doesn't understand. ”
"Idiot! The Mengshi had built a fortress according to Lu Zhe's method, but the Wang clan had not. This has experience and inexperience, which one has the most right to speak? After Xu Yan finished explaining, he looked at the old pine tree in the courtyard through the bamboo curtain, and there was a certain indescribable emotion in his voice: "When Lu Zhe wakes up, you can ask whether you want to develop as a craftsman or stay in the army." ”
"Zhe naturally should stay in the army!" As if he noticed that his voice was a little loud, Xu Yang touched his head embarrassedly and lowered his voice: "The method of building a city is a small part of philosophical talent, and the real talent is the method of using soldiers." ”
"Huh?" With a chuckle, Xu Yan seemed to be thinking about something, looking at the juniors in the clan, his tone was serious: "There has been a request from the craftsman to transfer Lu Zhe to Shang Zaofang. ”
Xu Yang asked urgently: "Your Majesty ......?"
"Quack! If you don't learn to be patient, sooner or later you're going to get into trouble! Another reprimand, Xu Yan intrigued: "Your Majesty already knows about Lu Zhe's technicians, but I don't know Lu Zhe's talent in military strategy." I mean, you know? ”
"Got it, got it." Xu Yang's head nodded like a chicken: "Then how can you let Your Majesty know the talent of Daozhe?" ”
Looking at this stupid junior in the clan, Xu Yan almost slapped him to death, a little annoyed: "CRRC Fu Ling has a good impression of your brother, Fu Ling is a person close to His Majesty, what do you say!?" ”
"Huh? You mean to make Tetsu a minister of luck, this ......, ouch, how do you do it? Xu Yang, who was slapped the back of the head, grinned: "I'm not wrong, you ......, okay, I won't say it." ”
"Idiot! What a fool, angry old man! Xu Yan was puzzled and kicked as if he could afford to get up: "You little rabbit cubs should be half as smart as Lu Zhe......" kicked Xu Yang down, "Then my Xu clan is not prosperous!?" ”
"You kick, you kick...... Xu Yang, who didn't dare to dodge at all, grinned: "Brother Xian is a person who can calculate people who are as smart as intrigues, and he can't suffer a loss in the kid." ”
As if enough of the kick was enough, Xu Yan nodded in agreement.
What is the friendship between the necks, it is a whole of blessings and misfortunes, and I really agree with this over the years.
"Alright. All you have to say to Lu Zhe is this. With a wave of his hand, as if to drive away flies, Xu Yan drove away the bastard. He looked at the back of Xu Yang who was leaving, and his lips hooked into a smile: "It's a blessing to have such a virtuous brother." There was a subtle relief in his tone.
The high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the imperial capital always pay attention to what the emperor is doing and what is happening in the palace. Knowing that someone had been summoned to stay in the palace for four days, they would naturally try their best to understand what was going on, so the name Lu Zhe did attract a lot of attention.
In particular, I found that Tu Sui, who was about to become the commander of southern Xinjiang, would often walk to the Xu Mansion these days to see a person named Lu Zhe who was revealed by someone with a heart, and people who didn't know the inside story began to be curious about Lu Zhe.
Since that day, when he saw Xu Yang relaxing and falling asleep on the street, Lu Zhe slept soundly for two days and one night, in fact, if Tu Sui hadn't been woken up, he would probably have slept longer.
I have to say that Tu Sui is a person who doesn't seem to have much of a fight, and he has a humble attitude towards no matter who he gets along with, so Lu Zhe is always happy and respectful when he gives explanations.
However, Wang Ben also went to Xu's Mansion a few times later, but unlike Tu Sui, after Wang Ben came, he always casually asked Lu Zhe to say a few words, and after dealing with it, he went to Xu Yan for a banquet, which shows the difference between the two.
It was probably the eighth day after leaving Xianyang Palace, Xu Yang hurriedly found Lu Zhe, jumping and jumping excitedly.
Can you imagine what it is like for a man more than two meters tall and a strong body to jump and jump? It almost knocked the wooden floor down.
After being stopped, Xu Yang shouted: "Zhe! Montessori really built the fortress! ”
"Oh?" Lu Zhe knew that Lu Dao could be built, but it was too fast, and he advanced the estimated time by two days. He tilted his head and asked, "How much manpower did Zhilu Dao use?" ”
How could Xu Yang pay attention to those, "uh" opened his mouth a few times and didn't make a fart, he said "hehe" with a smile to say something, and Xu Yan, who came in next to him, was so frightened that his face turned pale......
