Nongmen Hot Wife

Chapter 371 Negotiating Conditions with the Emperor
"Master, where are we going?" the father-in-law asked the emperor beside him.

"Old Fu, where does Tang Sheng live? Do you know?" Lao Fu is the name of the father-in-law outside the palace.

The father-in-law thought about it when he heard that the emperor wanted to find General Tang.

It didn't take long to think of it.

"I heard from Mr. Zhou that General Tang's family lives next door to Mr. Zhou's. Do you want to go there now?"

Emperor Chu nodded.

"The slave will lead the way for the master." The father-in-law said and walked ahead to lead the way.

"Master, this is here." The father-in-law pointed to the mansion guarded by someone.

Chu Huang glanced around, frowned, and looked disgusted.

"This place is too shabby."

"Master, the third prince's house will be rectified soon, and General Tang will be able to move in in two days." The father-in-law said to the emperor.

The emperor nodded his head, raised his feet and walked over.

The gatekeeper had never seen the emperor, so he raised his hand to stop him.

The father-in-law took out the sign, and when the gatekeeper saw it, his face turned pale with fright, and he immediately knelt down.

"See..."

"Shut up." The father-in-law said two words and cut off the guard's words.

After Emperor Chu and his father-in-law entered, the gatekeeper immediately got up and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Tang Sheng was sharpening a wooden sword for the child in the yard, and since he couldn't go anywhere anyway, he simply fulfilled his promise at home.

I promised the children before that I would give each of them a wooden sword.

Hearing the sound from outside, he raised his head, looked at the emperor who came in, and without kneeling down, he directly lowered his head and cut his sword.

Seeing this, the father-in-law stepped forward to remind him.

"Ahem, General Tang."

Tang Sheng raised his head, and then said: "I have seen the emperor."

After Tang Sheng finished speaking, he stepped aside and gave up his seat to the emperor.

"No need to be too polite." The emperor didn't sit down, but looked around, "It doesn't look good from the outside, but it's pretty good inside."

Tang Sheng didn't say anything.

The father-in-law put the position behind the emperor.

After the emperor sat down, he turned his head to look at the half-finished wooden sword in Tang Sheng's hand, and laughed.

"For the kids?"

"Go back to the emperor, yes."

Tang Sheng's tone was a little bit bad, the emperor heard it and laughed.

"Tang Aiqing is angry with me?"

"Don't dare." Tang Sheng replied.

"Not yet, I think you are angry with me."

After the emperor finished speaking, Zhou Yiran came from the backyard, saw two strangers in the yard, approached and saw that it was the emperor and father-in-law, she immediately saluted.

"The courtier's wife has seen the emperor."

"My life, what is Mrs. Zhang busy with?" Seeing Zhou Yiran roll up her sleeves, the emperor asked curiously.

"Nothing busy." She replied with a smile, and then asked, "Why is the emperor free to come to my wife?"

"Ask General Tang for something."

"Oh, that's it. The court lady has returned to her room, so she won't disturb the emperor's conversation with her husband."

The emperor nodded, she turned and went back to the room.

Enter the door, Zhang Mo will come over.

"Mother, what is the emperor doing at our house?"

"I don't know." She also wanted to know what the emperor was doing at home.

But it must be the case that Tang Sheng is talking about explosives.

"I don't know what the emperor is here for?"

Although he has a score in his heart, he still has to ask because he doesn't like guessing.

Seeing that he asked, the emperor did not beat around the bush with him, but directly told him the purpose of coming here today.

"I want you to manufacture a large amount of explosives. When I unify the three kingdoms, I will appoint you as the general of the town, and even give you a throne."

This is really tempting, but for someone like Tang Sheng, he is not rare.

"I can make gunpowder for the emperor, but the materials for making gunpowder are very hard to find. The emperor may have to wait a long time to unify the three kingdoms with gunpowder."

After listening to Tang Sheng's words, the emperor realized the problem.

The materials for making explosives are really difficult to get.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chu frowned.

After a long time, the emperor was still struggling with this question.

Tang Sheng suddenly thought of another way, thinking that maybe the emperor would let him go.

"I accidentally read a military book when I was a teenager, maybe it will be of great help to the emperor."

Hearing the word "Book of War", the emperor raised his head and looked at Tang Sheng with bright eyes.

"It's He Bingshu, show me quickly."

"The book of war is gone, but the minister remembers the content."

"Then what are you waiting for, quickly copy a copy for me." The emperor couldn't wait.

"You can copy it to the emperor, but I have conditions."

"Bold." The father-in-law scolded.

The emperor raised his hand to stop the father-in-law, then asked with a sullen face, "What conditions?"

"The emperor let his family leave." Tang Sheng said without fear of death.

The emperor frowned and asked, "I don't even want to do it for you as an official?"

"Your Majesty, not everyone wants to be an official. It's just that I am the one who doesn't want to be an official. As long as the Emperor agrees, I will copy it to the Emperor now."

Tang Sheng looked at the emperor without any sign of fear.

When he was like this, the corners of the emperor's lips rose and he laughed.

"You are the first person who is not afraid of me, okay, I promise you, now you can copy it!"

"Empty words have no proof, the emperor still writes a letter to the minister."

"Bold, your majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Sovereign, how can your words not count?" the father-in-law said sternly.

Tang Sheng didn't say a word, he looked at the emperor, waiting for the emperor's words.

The emperor took a deep breath, and then laughed: "General Tang is worthy of being General Tang, bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and I will write a note for you."

"Your majesty, are you really writing it?" The father-in-law looked at the emperor in bewilderment, feeling that General Tang was going too far.

After the emperor finished speaking, Tang Sheng went back to the room to get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

At the same time, a table was brought out and placed directly in front of the emperor.

He grinds ink for the emperor.

After the ink was finished, Tang Sheng raised his eyes and looked at the emperor.

The emperor picked up the brush, dipped it in a little ink, and then began to write notes.

After finishing writing, the emperor did not forget to press the jade seal he carried with him on the signature place.

"Tang Aiqing take a look, if there is no problem, then start copying!"

Tang Sheng picked up the paper and read it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he dried the ink on it, folded it up and put it in his arms.

Next, he began to copy Sun Tzu's Art of War.

While he was writing, the emperor watched from the side, and gradually, he became fascinated.

"Wonderful, wonderful, really wonderful..." the emperor kept saying.

With this art of war, he felt that his hegemony would soon be completed.

After two hours, Tang Sheng finally wrote down all of Sun Tzu's Art of War silently.

Put down the brush and look at the emperor.

The emperor was still immersed in calligraphy, and didn't realize that Tang Sheng had finished writing.

After a while, the emperor looked up at Tang Sheng.

"Who else knows this art of war?"

"Before, there was only one minister, but now there is one more you, the emperor, and the father-in-law." Tang Sheng looked at the father-in-law and said.

After hearing this, the emperor immediately had a plan in his heart, but he didn't show it.

"Okay, I have accepted this Art of War. When does General Tang plan to leave, I will send you off." The emperor looked at Tang Sheng kindly, waiting for his response.

"Just these few days." Tang Sheng saw different emotions in the emperor's eyes.

"In this case, you must inform me when you leave." After finishing speaking, the emperor put away the art of war and left with his eunuch.

When he reached the door, the emperor glanced at the gatekeepers and said to them: "You can go back, there is no need to guard here."

"Yes." The gatekeepers answered in unison and then left the place.

The emperor glanced back, and then left too.

On the way back to the palace, the father-in-law looked at the emperor puzzled and asked, "Is the emperor letting General Tang go like this?"

The corners of the emperor's lips were raised, showing a sinister smile, and he didn't say anything to his father-in-law.

Since he can't use it for himself, then destroy it and never let him leave alive.

When the father-in-law saw the emperor showing such an expression, he immediately understood.

After the emperor left, Zhou Yiran came out of the room and asked, "What did you write to the emperor?"

"Sun Tzu's Art of War." Tang Sheng told her.

Zhou Yiran opened her eyes wide: "Do you remember everything?"

"Yeah." Tang Sheng nodded, "This is something that must be memorized, but the effect depends on how the person who uses it uses it."

"Then when do we leave?"

"Let's go tonight to avoid long nights and dreams." He didn't believe that the emperor would let him go so easily.

After hearing his words, Zhou Yiran said: "Then I will arrange Tsing Yi and Tao Hong to stay in Zhou Qing's residence."

"Well, it's really inconvenient to take them with you. There are too many people and the goal is great." Tang Sheng said.

She felt the same way, so she turned around and went to look for Tsing Yi and Tao Hong.

After finding Tsing Yi and Tao Hong, after she told them the words, they immediately knelt down.

"Madam, bring your servants with you!"

Looking at Tsing Yi Tao Hong, she frowned and said, "It's not that I don't want to take you away, but that the road is full of dangers, and it's inconvenient to take you with me. I will give you your deed of sale later, and then send you off." Go to Zhou Mansion, you can stay in his mansion if you want, if you don’t want to, just find a good man to marry, and live a small life like Qingzhu.”

Speaking of the green bamboo, she hadn't seen it for several days, and she didn't know what happened.

Tsing Yi Tao Hong shook her head: "Madam, take your servants with you, servants are not afraid of danger."

"It's not a question of whether you are afraid or not, but that it is difficult for us to travel with you. Maybe the road we are taking is not the normal road, and you may still be dragged down by then."

After hearing this, Tsing Yi Tao Hong frowned slightly, feeling that what Madam said made sense.

The two thought about it for a while, and finally they nodded: "The servants will follow Madam's arrangement."

"That's good, come to my room later to get the deed of sale." She not only gave them the deed of sale, but also gave them a sum of money, just like Qingzhu, the dowry money for them.

Tsing Yi Tao Hong nodded.

"Okay, get up." She reached out and pulled the two of them up.

After Tsing Yi Tao Hong got up, the two began to cry.

"Ma'am, this servant is very reluctant."

"Don't cry, we will be separated sooner or later. You must be happy in the future. Find a man who is reliable, regardless of whether you have money or not. How about a little?"

The two nodded, and they cried even harder.

Madam is about to leave, and they still care about them so much, they really can't bear Madam.

Meeting such a master is a blessing they have cultivated in eight lifetimes.
