Chapter 456 The Emperor Comes to Test Again

Chapter 456 The Emperor Comes to Test Again

"Okay, Uncle Zhou, let's continue chatting. The heavy snow will cover this road soon."

"Yes, yes, let's go to Mashan Village. I haven't seen Wang Defa for a long time."

So the two cars drove quickly towards Mashan Village.

Not long after, in Chu Chen’s villa, Zhou Shixun and Eunuch Wei were sitting on the sofa.

Li Qinglian obediently poured tea for the two of them.

When Wang Defa heard that the emperor had arrived, he hurried to the living room.

"I, Wang Defa, pay my respects to His Majesty!"

"Old Wang, no need to be so polite, just stand up and talk."

After Wang Defa knelt down to Zhou Shixun, he sat half of his butt on the chair.

"Your Majesty is very busy, but your presence here today brings honor to our humble Mashan Village."

Chu Chen looked at Wang Defa's face and thought to himself, don't treat village cadres as non-cadres, they are very powerful!

"Old Wang, you are joking. Now that Daxia is peaceful and prosperous, I have nothing to do and unknowingly came to Mashan Village."

"It just so happens that seeing the massive construction going on in Mashan Village, everyone's life is getting better and better."

After hearing this, Wang Defa immediately stood up and bowed to Zhou Shixun.

"All of this is thanks to your Majesty. It is also because of your good governance that the bandits no longer harass the people and the people live and work in peace. Your Majesty loves the people like his own children. You deserve to be called the greatest emperor of all time."

This flattery made Zhou Shixun so flattering that even he didn't recognize his father.

"Hahaha, Lao Wei, look, look, a mere village chief is praising me so much that I feel ashamed."

"Your Majesty is too modest!"

Chu Chen watched several people chatting and suddenly felt a little disgusted.

Sure enough, these old and cunning guys always speak in a confusing way.

So he quickly interrupted their boasting and said, "Uncle Zhou, what do you want to eat?"

"Chu boy, I heard that there are a lot of small prey in your back mountain. How about you take me for a look?"

Chu Chen heard about hunting, that’s fine, but I’m afraid you can’t walk.

So he turned around, went into the room, put on an air rifle, and took the two men out.

Zhou Shixun couldn't let go of Chu Chen's air rifle and said that he must ask Chu Chen to give him one no matter what.

"Uh, Uncle Zhou, this thing isn't even a weapon. It's no problem to beat a chicken. What do you want it for?"

"Hey, Chu Wazi, are you reluctant to part with it?"

"I'm willing to give it up, of course I'm not willing to give it up, but even though this thing is weak, it can still hurt people if you're not careful."

After saying that, he handed over the air rifle which was still half full of air.

I thought to myself, just go ahead and study it, you won’t be able to figure it out even if you study it till you die.

It was Zheng Jing who invented the flintlock rifle under his guidance, which was powered by gunpowder.

For pneumatic things, a sealing ring can bind you for life.

Seeing this, Zhou Shixun quickly took the air rifle and handed it to Eunuch Wei.

"Old Wei, you have to keep it well. This thing is very magical."

The implication is to take it back to Zheng Jing for research to see if it can be copied.

Because what Chu Chen gave to Daxia was really too much, there were so many things that he didn't dare to ask for them no matter what.

In Zhou Shixun's eyes, his relationship with Chu Chen is now very delicate.

If you are not careful, you will offend this person. Then, he will fire cannons at your palace and you will have no way to seek justice.

But he wanted so much to possess everything Chu Chen took out that he tried to get as much as he could.

But in this era, education is limited to the study of various subjects, reciting poems and composing couplets, and even arithmetic is just addition and subtraction.

Technology is far beyond their reach.

At night, several people ate the prey they had hunted today, drank Chu Chen's wine, and laughed happily.

After dinner, Chu Chen and Zhou Shixun sat on the terrace on the third floor.

Zhou Shixun tightened his clothes: "Chu kid, it's a bit cold!"

"Yes, it's winter now, and it's time to get cold. I hope there will be a heavy snow this year so that we can have a good harvest next year."

"Tell me, Uncle Zhou, you are so busy, you shouldn't just come to Mashan Village for fun."

Chu Chen turned his head and looked at Zhou Shixun and asked.

"Haha, Chu kid is smart. Indeed, Uncle Zhou doesn't have the time to go on a special trip for fun."

"There is something I have been thinking about for a long time, so today, I come to invite you to come to the capital and serve as an official. What do you think?"

Zhou Shixun’s thoughts were very simple. The first thing he wanted to do was to hold Chu Chen tightly in his hands, so that everything he had would be his.

Secondly, it was also a test to see whether Chu Chen had a strong desire for power.

After hearing this, Chu Chen understood a little bit. He thought it was probably because of those guys that scared him.

But as an official, as long as his brain is still working well, he will not do that kind of thing.

I have no shortage of money or food now, and I will have no shortage of people in the future.

Moreover, no matter how powerful the person is, even the emperor, he has to respect me.

From this point of view, there is no other official in the world who can compare to me.

So he quickly said, "Uncle Zhou, I, Chu Chen, remain true to my original intention. In the future, please don't persuade me anymore."

Zhou Shixun felt relieved when he heard this.

"Chu Wazi, do you really have no desire for power?"

"Hahaha, Uncle Zhou, although you are the king of a country, is power the only thing a person needs in this world?"

"Think about it, when you were busy with all kinds of affairs, I was free and easy. When you were free and easy, I was also free and easy. Tell me, why would I become an official when I have nothing to do but eat?"

Zhou Shixun shook his head after hearing this: "Chu Wazi, sometimes a person's ability is not just for himself. You have to know that there are millions of people in the whole Daxia."

"Don't you want to think about benefiting the people while you are in office?"

After hearing this, Chu Chen burst into laughter again.

"Uncle Zhou, I have no official position, but in the past few years, I have contributed a lot to the people of Daxia. Isn't that enough?"

Half an hour later, Zhou Shixun returned to the room with a smile on his face.

He was very happy at the moment, and he dared to guarantee that as long as he could maintain his current relationship with Chu Chen.

Then Chu Chen would never have the idea of ​​coveting the imperial power.

Because in his heart, Chu Chen is really a person who only cares about being free and easy and has no other thoughts.

Everything he did, including the expansion of his power everywhere, was just to make it easier for him to be free and easy.

But this person cannot be offended at all, as he has a vindictive personality.

As long as this person's interests are violated, there will never be peace.

Lying on the bed, Zhou Shixun looked at the LED lights on the ceiling and said slowly.

"Eighth Brother, Father will eventually grow old. Chu Wazi has already tried to test you many times. If he does it again, it will backfire. You better seize the opportunity. The world will eventually be yours."

These words were spoken to the eighth prince Zhou Heng, and also to the entire Zhou family.

On the second day, Lord Wei drove the dazzling golden van, and Chu Chen kindly installed anti-skid chains for them.

While the snow had not yet blocked the mountains, they ran all the way towards the capital city in the north.

Chu Chen watched them disappear and said leisurely, "If there's a next time, I don't mind blowing your palace to pieces."
