Chapter 74: Lu Ban is still alive
As soon as Queen Changsun walked into the courtyard, she heard a clanging sound coming from inside.
Accompanied by bursts of astonishment from His Majesty the Emperor.
"If this thing spreads, it will definitely shock the world!"
"I don't even know how you came up with such a magical thing, Zhao Chen!"
"The Ministry of Industry of Datang lacks talents like you. It is really their loss." ??
Empress Changsun had been listening to His Majesty the Emperor's words, but there was no sound from Zhao Chen in the courtyard.
He couldn't help but wonder, what did Zhao Chen do to make His Majesty the Emperor behave like this?
Queen Changsun walked forward and saw that the ground was full of sawdust.
And Zhao Chen was sitting on a strange chair, drinking water.
His Majesty the Emperor looked at Zhao Chen expectantly, and seemed to want to go up and sit down.
"Old Li Tou, you said so much, don't you just want to sit in my chair!" Zhao Chen's voice sounded.
"I have never seen such a chair before, so I can't help but feel a little curious!"
"Zhao Chen, I've been working for you all afternoon, please let me sit down for a while." Li Shimin's voice sounded, making Empress Changsun, who had not yet spoken, be startled.
But in an instant, a smile appeared on her face.
Queen Changsun was naturally extremely happy that Zhao Chen and His Majesty the Emperor could get along so harmoniously.
"Cough——" Queen Changsun coughed lightly and told the two of them that she was coming.
"Madam, why are you here alone this late at night?" Li Shimin looked up and saw Empress Changsun, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
It was already dark, and Guanyin was already weak, but she was still allowed to come here alone.
All those attendants will be killed tomorrow!
"My husband has not returned for a long time, so I knew that he was here. I wanted to come over and have a look. The people below walked me to the door and asked them to go back first!" Queen Changsun explained.
How did she not understand Li Shimin? If she didn't tell him,
It is estimated that those people will suffer disaster tomorrow.
"Auntie!" Zhao Chen stood up from his chair and shouted to Queen Changsun.
"What are you doing? I can hear you talking from a distance." Queen Changsun nodded and asked curiously.
What Li Shimin said just now was too humble.
If it were the ministers in the court, their eyes would probably pop out if they saw their Emperor talking like that.
Even Queen Changsun herself was curious.
"Madam, you still don't know that this boy Zhao Chen can actually do carpentry, and I think this skill is even inferior to that of Lu Ban even when he was alive." Li Shimin looked at Empress Changsun and said with a serious face.
Lu Ban, that is the ancestor of carpenters.
His Majesty the Emperor actually said such words, which really shocked Empress Changsun.
Secretly wondering, how come Zhao Chen can even do carpentry?
It was also highly appreciated by His Majesty the Emperor.
"Old Li Tou, don't say that. Compared to Lu Ban, my methods are still far behind!" Zhao Chen waved his hand with a smile.
Li Shimin nodded and secretly said that Zhao Chen has a calm mind.
If an ordinary person is praised a few words, his face will probably burst into laughter.
"Madam, come and sit down and try it!" Li Shimin pulled Queen Changsun to the chair where they had been busy all afternoon.
The chair in front of me is very similar to a high chair, but its shape is wider than that of a high chair.
The backrest and armrests are connected to form a five-leaf screen.
The surrounding screen is carved with nine golden dragon patterns, which are not angry but are powerful.
"Madam, Zhao Chen's skills are really impressive. I watched him make this chair with my own eyes. The carvings are so meticulous.
The technique is no less than the painting he painted for his wife! "Li Shimin rubbed the chair in front of him with his palms, his eyes full of longing.
As an emperor, he had never seen such an exquisite chair.
Imagine if you put this chair in the Tai Chi Hall as your dragon chair, it will definitely shock the officials.
But Zhao Chen didn't even give him a chance to sit down.
Li Shimin didn't know if his request to Zhao Chen just now was heard by Empress Changsun.
Otherwise, this would be a huge loss of face.
"Auntie, you have worked hard all the way, please sit on this chair!" Zhao Chen said to Queen Changsun with a smile.
"Is it okay?" Empress Changsun was happy, but she said that even His Majesty the Emperor didn't sit down. It seemed a little uncomfortable to sit down by herself.
"Boy Zhao, you are too partial. I have been busy with you all afternoon, and you didn't even let me sit down."
"How dare you just miss your aunt?" Li Shimin felt very uncomfortable.
Why can't I sit down even after I've been busy all afternoon?
This guy is too biased.
If the identity is revealed in the future, then...
"Old Li Tou, please step back a little? You are such a big man, and you don't know what to do!" Zhao Chen didn't even answer Li Shimin's words, and helped Empress Changsun sit down on the chair.
Li Shimin was so angry that his whole body was trembling.
"Husband, why don't you sit down with me too?" Queen Changsun asked with a secret smile in her heart when she saw Li Shimin acting like this.
"No need, I still don't like this broken chair, huh!" Li Shimin kicked hard and hit a pile of sawdust in front of him.
Li Shimin was very angry and wanted to kick Zhao Chen in the butt.
"Auntie hasn't eaten yet, and I haven't eaten either. I'll go to the kitchen and cook some noodles."
"You take a rest here." Zhao Chen smiled and said
Queen Changsun said.
"You little bastard, I want to slap him to death!" Seeing Zhao Chen go to the kitchen, Li Shimin cursed fiercely.
"Your Majesty, you have worked hard, please take a rest." Empress Changsun said with a smile.
"This kid really has no conscience at all. I put aside state affairs and worked with him all afternoon, and he didn't even let me sit down. It's really disgusting." Li Shimin lowered his voice and looked ugly.
"Your Majesty, have you seen what this is?" Queen Changsun pointed to the nine golden dragons on the screen behind and said to Li Shimin.
"This chair is for Your Majesty." Empress Changsun said softly.
The real dragon is the symbol of the emperor.
Ordinary people, who dares to carve a golden dragon on a chair, may have a hundred heads to chop it off.
"Given to me?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment. Looking at the chair again, he seemed to have recovered a little.
"I think Zhao Chen felt that as an imperial merchant, as soon as His Majesty got the news from him, the saint over there got the information immediately."
"Zhao Chen didn't like His Majesty handing over his thoughts so casually. Naturally, he tried to embarrass Your Majesty several times in his words."
"But this chair is indeed given to Your Majesty!" Empress Changsun's wise eyes showed a smile.
Queen Changsun already guessed Zhao Chen's thoughts just by seeing these nine dragon sculptures.
Only then did Li Shimin react, with a hint of joy on his face.
But it was fleeting.
"Guanyin Maid, you don't know that Zhao Chen's vision surpasses all of us!"
"After I got those ideas from him, I really didn't have the heart to wait any longer."
"After meeting Zhao Chen, I have never had such confidence in governing the Tang Dynasty."
"If my Zhenguan rule is recorded by future generations, Zhao Chen must be among them!" Li Shimin said slowly, with a sincere expression.
