Not far away, there was a unique pavilion on the winding garden path.
Six vermilion columns are evenly arranged around it.
Between the pillars, there is a square solid wood connected.
The top is smooth and clean, with some complex unicorn patterns carved on the sides.
At the entrance, on the high raised corner of the pavilion, there is a string of silver wind chimes hanging. As the wind blows, they make a crisp sound.
Ming Chengzu slowly walked into the pavilion, and Wang Xiaosi hurriedly placed a cotton pad in his arms on the crossbar between the two pillars.
"Your Majesty, I've been walking for a long time. Please sit here and take a rest." Wang Xiaosi said thoughtfully.
"Yes." Ming Chengzu put down his hands from behind his back, wrapped his cloak around his body, and sat down slowly.
"Your Majesty, it's cold in the garden. Please warm your hands." As he said this, Wang Xiaosi placed the hand-warming pot in his arms on the palm of Ming Chengzu's hand.
Holding the hand warmer in both hands, Ming Chengzu looked at Xiao Chen who was standing aside: "You have walked with me for most of the back garden. What do you think of the pavilions and pavilions here?"
There was a kind of confidence on Ming Chengzu's face.
When the back garden was established, all layouts were reported to Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, and construction was started only after approval.
Although later, with the improvement of Ming Chengzu's ideological realm, some details were not satisfactory, but overall, this back garden was still cultivated to Ming Chengzu's heart.
Xiao Chen hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Back to the emperor, my subordinates know nothing about this garden architecture and dare not make any comments. However, along the way, this back garden seems to be a miniature version of the Ming Dynasty. It seems to have no spirit.
The carvings are meticulous, but they are actually miraculous workmanship, completely natural. Everywhere shows a kind of simplicity, but without losing elegance."
"Oh," Ming Chengzu said with a smile, "Just say you don't understand. Your comment is quite pertinent. But if you think about it carefully, it just gave you a general impression. Is there any place in this back garden?
Can the scenery be memorable to you?"
Before Xiao Chen could answer, Ming Chengzu looked at Lin Shangli again: "How about Xiao Linzi come and tell me first, which scene in the back garden do you think is the best?"
Lin Shangli cleared his throat: "I think the arch bridge where the emperor was standing just now is the most beautiful place in the entire back garden."
"Oh, tell me the reason." Ming Chengzu chuckled.
"Standing on this arch bridge, from a high position, you can have an unobstructed view of the entire back garden. The lake under the bridge is even more vast and spectacular. This indicates that the emperor has a clear understanding of everything and is open to the world." Lin Shangli bowed and said.
"Okay, well said." The smile on Ming Chengzu's face became even wider, "Although I never like to hear flattering words, your words are still very useful to me."
Lin Shangli was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized: "Your Majesty has been working hard for days, reviewing memorials day and night for important matters of the imperial court. It has been a long time since I saw your Majesty smile like this. Today I am accompanying the Emperor to visit the back garden, and I thought
Let’s take this opportunity to make the emperor happy. However, what I said was from the bottom of my heart, and there was no exaggeration at all.”
"Okay, okay." Ming Chengzu smiled and waved his hand, "I don't mean to blame you. Didn't I say so? I am very happy to hear your words."
Immediately, Ming Chengzu looked at Xiao Chen: "Xiao Chen, your factory father has made a start for you. Now, it's your turn to tell me which scenery you are most satisfied with."
In fact, the reason why Ming Chengzu asked Lin Shangli to speak first was because he had his own little calculation.
As for Xiao Chen, judging from the information reported back by Chen E, he is basically a good person and there are no major safety issues.
He has a keen sense of perception and a strong detection ability. He is in urgent need of this kind of talent.
The words spoken in front of Yu Shufang just now were sharp and insightful, which had completely impressed Ming Chengzu.
And the relationship between him and Zizhu just now was deliberately revealed by Ming Chengzu.
He wanted to use this to convey a message, that is, Ming Chengzu was willing to open his heart to Xiao Chen.
Ming Chengzu knew nothing more about Lin Shangli, so he wanted Lin Shangli to say some complimentary words and set an example for Xiao Chen.
If this Xiao Chen could observe people's words and compliment himself smoothly, then he would be the one to train the first person under Dongchang Changgong.
Ming Chengzu looked at Xiao Chen with a smile, with expectation and a bit of confidence on his face.
Xiao Chen cupped his fists and bowed slightly: "Back to the emperor, in the eyes of my subordinates, the most beautiful thing in this back garden is the purple bamboo forest."
"Oh? This is a naturally growing purple bamboo forest. What's so beautiful about it?" Ming Chengzu was stunned. Xiao Chen's answer was a bit unexpected.
"Because this purple bamboo forest represents the emperor's heart." Xiao Chen said without hesitation.
"My heart?" Ming Chengzu let out a long breath, vaguely understanding what Xiao Chen was going to say.
"The emperor governs the world vigorously and resolutely. He expands the territory externally and develops production internally. He will never tolerate anyone who is evil. In the eyes of outsiders, the emperor is unkind. However, when governing the country, it is based on the laws of the court, and
It’s not about love. Although the world thinks that the emperor is selfless, they don’t know that the emperor also has a tender side."
"The reason why the emperor can remember Zizhu's kindness is because beneath his majestic and solemn appearance, he has a grateful heart. A man who dominates the world and is aloof still has a grateful heart because he always has kindness in his heart.
exist."
Xiao Chen's face was filled with sincerity.
Ming Chengzu sat on the square tree and didn't speak for a long time.
This boy's state of mind and vision are so unusual and outstanding.
Every word he said was catchy but not vulgar.
Could it be that God favored me and sent him such an outstanding talent?
"Xiao Chen, you have been the one handling this case in Dongchang. According to Xiao Linzi's report, two health centers have been implicated?"
"Yes. Huang Anliang, the commander of the Yanqing Guards, has conclusive evidence and has been arrested. Although there is a target pointing at the Jinyi Guards, the specific identity has not yet been found out." When it came to the case, Xiao Chen replied simply and neatly.
"Okay." Ming Chengzu laughed, "If the truth about this case is revealed, how do you want me to reward you?"
"It is my duty to investigate the case. I dare not ask for rewards from the emperor." Xiao Chen said.
Ming Chengzu stood up with a smile and looked at the purple bamboo forest in the distance.
"Since you don't want it, I still want to give it to you. If you can catch all the participants, I will give you purple clothes. In this Ming Dynasty, you will not worship anyone except me!"
