Chapter 104 - Forgetting to Eat and Sleep

On the morning of the second day, when the sky had just brightened, Zhao Chen had already woken up!

He opened his sleepy eyes and washed them a little. Then, he immediately went to the pile of logs from yesterday!

He took the small stool and continued to dig. After a long time, the surface of the stool was finally flattened! Zhao Chen's face revealed a smile!

"Your Majesty, breakfast is ready! "Please have your meal first!" Lin Bao had been squatting beside Zhao Chen the entire time, and now Lin Bao Dao.

"No rush! No rush!" I have to make this stool! Go and bring me that ruler. I want to measure it properly! " Zhao Chen said.

Lin Bao immediately brought the ruler over. Zhao Chen measured it as he lightly tapped it with his axe! He had put in a lot of effort! Lin Bao watched from the side, only to see Zhao Chen's eyes tightly staring at the chair, the axe in his hand! Zhao Chen seemed to be blind to everything that was happening around him!

The sun had already started to rise, Zhao Chen was still immersed in working as a carpenter!

Zhao Chen's forehead was already covered in perspiration, but he still did not see it, and did not wipe the sweat off his face!

Lin Bao held a silk handkerchief in his hand, wanting to help Zhao Chen wipe his sweat! However, his hands blocked Zhao Chen's line of sight, and Zhao Chen said somewhat angrily: "Move your hand away!"

Lin Bao hastily removed his hand and said, "This humble subject is being reckless!"

It was just that Zhao Chen did not seem to hear his words, as he continued to focus all his attention on the carpentry!

Seeing Zhao Chen being so focused, Lin Bao did not know whether to laugh or cry!

It was only in the morning that the small stool finally looked a little better! Zhao Chen stopped!

"Congratulations Your Majesty, you actually made such a beautiful stool!" Lin Bao Dao.

"This stool is still very rough! No! Lin Bao, go find me a carpenter! He must find the best carpenter in Middle Han Area! I want to learn craftsmanship from a carpenter! " Zhao Chen said.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Lin Bao was stunned.

"What is it? "Don't you want to do it?" Zhao Chen said angrily.

"Why isn't this humble subject willing to do it? This humble subject only thinks, who the hell is the best carpenter in Middle Han Area? " Lin Bao said with a charming smile.

"Then did you figure out who the best carpenter in the Middle Han Area was?" Zhao Chen said.

"How could this humble subject think of that! Your Majesty, we need to report this to the Master Fold and have the Master Fold find the carpenter! " Lin Bao Dao.

"Good!" Then, I shall leave the palace and tell Zhe Keqiu to find a carpenter for us! " Zhao Chen said.

Zhao Chen looked at Lin Bao's back, and his face revealed a trace of a smile!

"Your Majesty, it's time to eat!" A guard next to him said.

"Bring me the rice, I want to eat while I ponder the art of carpentry!" Zhao Chen said.

The guard at the side suppressed his laughter as he rushed out to serve dinner!

After a while, the food was placed in front of Zhao Chen, who was eating, from time to time, he would fiddle with the things such as shavings, axes, stools and other things, not mentioning anything!

After about two hours, Lin Bao finally returned with a middle-aged man in his forties following behind him! This middle-aged man was a little short. He wore cloth clothing, and he was slightly bowing! His appearance gave off an extremely honest feeling, he looked somewhat similar to Yue Fei! At this moment, the middle-aged man was both curious and terrified. He wanted to raise his head to look at his surroundings, but it was obvious that he did not dare to. He only quietly used his peripheral vision to observe his surroundings! Occasionally, the gaze of a guard would sweep over, but the middle-aged man seemed to be frightened, hurriedly lowering his head!

Lin Bao brought the middle aged man into Dry Clear Palace. At this moment, Zhao Chen was still sitting in the middle of a pile of wood!

"Kneel down!" Lin Bao shouted, and the middle-aged man quickly kneeled down!

"Your Majesty, this is the best carpenter in Hanzhong City! I've found it for you! " Lin Bao turned his head to look at Zhao Chen, and said with an enchanting smile.

"Oh!" ~ Is this the best carpenter in the Hanzhong City? "What's your name?" Zhao Chen said.

"I, Wang Pu, pay my respects to Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! " The middle-aged man's voice trembled.

Zhao Chen laughed, he originally thought that Lin Bao would bring another of Zhe Keqiu's trusted aides, but he never thought that Lin Bao would bring a real carpenter! This carpenter seemed to be so honest. He probably didn't have any other intentions!

"Your Majesty, his woodworking skills are renowned throughout the Middle Han Area! Everyone in the Middle Han Area knew about it! His name is Wang Pu, and people outside call him Wang Qiushan! " Lin Bao said with a charming smile.

"Are you really called Wang Qiao Hands?" Zhao Chen laughed.

"Yes!" This little one does have such a lowly name! " Wang Pu's body was trembling!

Wang Pu was excited and excited at the same time! He thought that he would encounter a calamity, but who would have thought that he would actually meet the famed Zhe Keqiu in the House of Zhuang! After that, Zhe Keqiu ordered him to go to the palace to teach the Emperor about carpentry. He was already in disbelief at the time, who knew that he would actually meet the emperor now. It seemed that the emperor was really researching carpentry, and the emperor was really looking for a carpenter to teach him!

"Tell me, how is the stool that I made?" Zhao Chen said as he handed the chair in his hand over.

"This …" Wang Pu's face revealed a difficult expression.

"Isn't it terrible?" Zhao Chen said.

"Yes sir!" Wang Pu nodded and said.

"Bastard!" "How dare he slander his majesty, he deserves to die a thousand times over!" Lin Bao, who was at the side, shouted out in a sharp and thin voice.

"Your Majesty, this lowly one … What nonsense! Your majesty, spare me! Your Majesty, please spare my life! " Wang Pu madly kowtowed at that place, and after a moment, there was even blood coming out from his forehead!

"Get up! Did I say I would kill you? " Zhao Chen frowned and said.

Wang Pu's heart was still exceptionally terrified, as he continued to kowtow on the ground.

"His Majesty told you to get up, but you still haven't. That is the crime of deceiving the Emperor! At that time, there will be a whole family of nine! " Lin Bao coldly shouted.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Wang Pu was shocked, he immediately stood up!

"Alright, stop scaring him! Master Wang, I know that this stool is badly made! "I invited you here to learn how to be a carpenter. Shall we start with this stool?" Zhao Chen said.

At this moment, Wang Pu no longer knew if it was excitement, or fear, he only felt his mind turning blank! He had seen the emperor, but he had said the wrong thing the moment he saw the emperor. In the end, he had almost committed 'the crime of deceiving the monarch'. How could a commoner like him bear so many assaults! At this moment, he was standing there at a loss!

"Damn thing! Didn't you hear what His Majesty said? " Lin Bao shouted again.

Zhao Chen then stood up, laughed, and said: "Lin Bao, get out! If you stay here, Master Wang won't dare to move! You just wait outside. If I need anything, you can bring it in! "

"Yes sir!" Lin Bao had no choice but to leave!

After Lin Bao left, Zhao Chen started to fiddle with the wood and various tools by himself. After a long while, the carpenter called Wang Pu finally calmed down! Then, Zhao Chen began to ask questions, and Wang Pu began to answer! After a while, Wang Pu realised that the Emperor's voice was gentle, and the fear in his heart slowly disappeared.

The two of them were willing to learn from each other, but in the end, the two of them seemed to have forgotten everything as they immersed themselves in teaching the carpentry!

Unknowingly, an afternoon had passed and the sky had gradually darkened. Zhao Chen stood up, stretched his waist and said: "After staying here for one day, even my waist is hurting! However, it's still worth it to be able to make beautiful stools! "

Wang Pu also stood up at this moment, and laughed: "Your majesty is extremely intelligent, in just a short span of half a day, your majesty's rate of improvement is incredibly fast, far surpassing all of my previous disciples! If His Majesty were to follow me and study hard for a few years, his skills would definitely surpass mine! "

When Lin Bao heard these words, he originally wanted to come in and berate Wang Pu, but he thought that Wang Pu's words were too outrageous! Who was Zhao Chen? He was the emperor of the world, the ruler of the Song Dynasty. How could such a person learn from a carpenter for several years? But then, he thought about Zhe Keqiu's orders, and immediately retreated with a mocking smile!

Inside the room, Zhao Chen said, "Tomorrow, Master Wang will still have to enter the palace. Tomorrow, I will continue to learn from you! Also, if you want to teach me, you have to delay my own matters, I will compensate you! "Lin Bao, go and get a hundred silver taels and give it to Master Wang!"

Wang Pu was shocked, he quickly kneeled down and said: "Your Majesty, this lowly one absolutely does not dare to take your silver!"

Zhao Chen asked: "Why is that?"

Wang Pu's face was flushed from excitement as he said, "Your Majesty, an emperor who has never been willing to learn how to work wood since ancient times! Your Majesty, being willing to learn carpentry from me is my greatest fortune! In the future, if His Majesty's name were to be recorded in the annals of history, then this lowly person would naturally be recorded in the annals of history alongside His Majesty! The king has already given me such a huge benefit, how can I take your silver? "

Zhao Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry! If he was unable to defeat Zhe Keqiu in the end, the name "Carpenter Emperor" would definitely go down in history, it's just that what was left behind would be the name of a clown! This Wang Pu might not even have a good reputation! However, compared to the average person of this era, being the 'Monarch's Master' was already an unparalleled glory! He was excited and excited. It was normal for him to not care about the silver!

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will teach you all my skills!" I want you, your majesty, to become the best craftsman in the world! " Wang Pu said excitedly.

"Good!" I find there is nothing more interesting in the world than being a carpenter! However, you still have to take the silver. If you don't have silver and can't eat, you will starve to death later. How can you teach me carpentry? " Zhao Chen said.

Hearing that, Wang Pu's face revealed an embarrassed smile, but in the end, he still took the silver!

After more than ten days, all the ministers in the court knew what the emperor was doing in the palace! It was said that the emperor learned carpentry skills from a carpenter every day. Every day, he would forget to eat and sleep, and never get tired of enjoying himself!

When they heard this news, all the ministers broke out into laughter!

and Zhe Yanwen were sitting together in the Heavenly Stellar Pavilion, both of them had faces full of smiles, and were discussing about this matter!
