"Yes, this person has been hidden in officialdom for so long, but I didn't realize it, I didn't expect to be dug up by you." Lu Yuan praised.

"I actually have to thank Zhu Anming for this."

"Oh, why?"

Lan Liuyi propped his arm on the imperial case, and said with a smile: "Originally, I sent someone to keep an eye on him, but I found that Zhu Anming was sending someone to track down Fan Yuping, I thought he was going to harm Fan Yuping, so I secretly sent someone to protect him, who knew that Fan Yuping turned out to be a spy of the Tang Kingdom!" ”

"Why are you sending someone to keep an eye on Zhu Anming?"

"He is demoted, and he used to be the prime minister of Wu Yueguo, I'm worried that he will rebel." Lan Liuyi had a natural expression.

"Does he have any objections?" Lu Yuan asked.

Lan Liuyi said with a serious face: "There is no sign yet, but he has a group of very capable people in his hands. ”

"It's expensive to raise such a group of people, right?" Lu Yuan was thoughtful.

"Of course!"

Lu Yuan pondered silently, Zhu Anming had been a prime minister before, and it stands to reason that it is normal to have such a group of people, but Lu Yuan is still a little uncomfortable.

He believed that if Zhang Dezhong was the prime minister, he would not raise these people, but after all, Zhu Anming helped him inadvertently this time, and he didn't want to pursue it too much.

"You continue to follow Fan Yuping's investigation to see if there are any other details, Zhu Anming's subordinates, as long as there are no violations of law and discipline, there is no need to pursue them." Lu Yuan said.

"I see."

At this moment, the guards came to report, and Yu Bo asked to see him.

"Let him come in," Lu Yuan sat up straight, and Lan Liuyi also stood back in front of the desk.

After a while, Yu Bo entered the study and arched his hand: "The minister greets the king." ”

"Yu Aiqing, did you come to see me about the envoy of the Han Kingdom?"

"Your Excellency Mingjian, the envoys of the Han State hope that our country can reach an armistice agreement with Wu Yueguo."

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, then bowed his head and said, "Promise them." ”

"Your Majesty, the envoy of the Han State also said that if any country violates the agreement, the Han State will fight it together with the other country." Yu Bo reminded.

"It doesn't matter."

"The minister understands, and the minister retires."

After leaving the Wende Palace, Yu Bo returned to the Ministry of Rites and asked Lin Yanyu to be called.

"Lord Yu, how is it? Has His Royal Highness King Wu agreed? Lin Yanyu asked urgently.

Yu Bo said lightly: "Your Excellency agreed to your request, I hope that your envoy will tell King Wu Yue to let him settle down a little on the border, if they dare to provoke at the border, don't blame our country for not keeping the agreement." ”

"Don't worry, Lord Yu, I will definitely tell you, is the treaty signed by your lord?"

"What, isn't this official qualified?"

"What did Lord Yu say?" Lin Yanyu waved his hand again and again and took the armistice treaty out of his sleeve.

Yu Bo picked up the agreement and read it carefully, and found that Qian Hongyu had already signed and sealed it, so he read it carefully, and then left his name and stamped it.

Lin Yanyu took the agreement and looked at it, a smile appeared on his face, with this, his mission this time was successfully completed.

"Lord Yu, the envoy is still in a hurry to return to China to report to His Majesty, so I will leave first."

"I'm not far away."

At this point, led by Emperor Liu Sheng of the Han Dynasty, an encirclement network against Fujian was formed.

In the next period of time, all countries began to secretly mobilize troops, and Lu Yuan didn't care too much about this, and focused on artillery.

Now he just wants to recuperate, develop military power and commerce, and study artillery. Wait for the artillery to be successfully researched, and then start expanding the territory.

With Hangzhou in hand, he can already sit firmly in Diaoyutai, so let other countries fight for the time being.

However, although he wanted to be idle, someone still found him.

There is no way, with his current strength and prestige in Jiangnan, it is difficult for various forces to bypass him if they want to do something.

……

On a holiday in May, in a small courtyard in the imperial city, Jin Lanzhi looked at the environment in the house, frowned, and said, "Sister Ruozhen, do you live in this kind of place?" ”

She originally thought that Li Ruozhen lived in the imperial city, and the residence must be very luxurious, but she didn't think it would be so ordinary.

"Isn't it good here?" Li Ruozhen walked out of a general room, holding a plate with fruit in his hand.

"It's not bad, but I think there should be many better places in the imperial city, why did His Royal Highness King Wu let you live here." Jin Lanzhi was a little upset for her.

"Originally, my junior brother arranged a nearby palace for me, but I wasn't used to living there, so I came here." Li Ruozhen said lightly.

Jin Lanzhi looked at her in disbelief, she couldn't live in a good palace, she had to live in such a small courtyard, could she be a monk?

Pouting, she grabbed a fruit and bit it: "Sister Ruozhen, can I ask you a question?" ”

"You say."

"Why does His Royal Highness King Wu call you Senior Sister?" Jin Lanzhi stared at a pair of shiny eyes.

Li Ruozhen's lips opened slightly, and he was about to answer.

Suddenly, she glanced in the direction of the gate and said with a smile, "Why don't you ask him personally?" ”

Jin Lanzhi blinked, and was a little strange, when he suddenly heard a voice outside the door.

"Senior sister, are you at home?"

Jin Lanzhi hurriedly looked in the direction of the gate, and after a while, he saw two figures, one large and one small, appearing at the door.

"Senior sister, if you're here, it's a good answer!" Lu Yuan complained for a while when he saw Li Ruozhen, and he was still carrying a small food box in his hand.

"Hello master." Lu Yutong screamed sweetly.

"I'm greeting guests."

At this time, Lu Yuan noticed Jin Lanzhi and smiled: "It's rare to see someone coming to you, who is this young lady?" ”

"His Royal Highness King Wu, my name is Jin Lanzhi, I have seen you before, and now I am a head catcher in Hangzhou Mansion!" Jin Lanzhi's face flushed with excitement.

“…… Oh, hello Miss Kim. Lu Yuan touched his nose, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her.

"She is Zhan Yuan's wife." Li Ruozhen reminded, staring at the food box in Lu Yuan's hand.

"Zhanyuan, that kid is so blessed!" Lu Yuan laughed and handed over the food box: "This is the anchovy shark fin and eight-treasure duck made by the wandering warbler, specially brought to you." ”

Li Ruozhen hummed, took the food box, opened the lid and looked at it.

At this moment, Lu Yutong interjected: "Master, your Eight Treasure Duck was stolen and eaten by my brother just now. ”

"Rain Hitomi, how can you betray me?" Lu Yuan was heartbroken.

"Who told you not to give me food?" Lu Yutong pouted.

"Today's portion size is too small, and if you eat too much, you will be seen!"

The little girl snorted and tilted her head to the side.

Lu Yuan looked up and saw Li Ruozhen looking at him with a smile.

"Senior sister, listen to me, actually...... In fact, Yu Hitomi has eaten it secretly before. ”

The little girl glared at Lu Yuan, and pulled Li Ruozhen's arm to coquettishly: "Master~"

Li Ruozhen said to Jin Lanzhi, who was stunned next to him, "Lanzhi, you can go back first today." ”

“…… Ah, okay. Jin Lanzhi hurriedly got up and left the room.

When she left, there were only three people left in the room.

"Senior sister, be merciful." Lu Yuan's face was tragic.

"Master, don't hit me." Lu Yutong looked pitiful.

Li Ruozhen looked at the two of them, and his gaze gradually softened.

"Thank you." She whispered.

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It's all my own family, thank you." ”

"I hope the master can be happy." The little girl said.

"I actually ......," Li Ruozhen didn't know how to speak for a while.

She knew that Lu Yuan and Lu Yutong had done it on purpose just now, in order to make her feel better.

Since she learned that Li Xingfu had gone to Fujian, she has been in a bad mood.

"He's your brother after all, I can understand that." Lu Yuan comforted softly.

Li Ruozhen shook his head: "When he was in the north before, I wasn't worried about him at all, and I don't know why, this time he went to Fujian, I always felt a little uneasy." ”

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and said: "Now that the Han Kingdom, the Tang Kingdom and the Wu Yue Kingdom have formed an alliance, and the Min State is indeed in danger, otherwise, I will give you a piece of the Wu State official certificate, and you send someone to send it to your brother, which can be regarded as leaving him a way back, if he is caught by other countries, this official certificate may be able to save his life." ”

"No, no, I can't ......" Li Ruozhen shook his head again and again.

"Senior sister, I know you're afraid of causing me trouble, but for me, an official is nothing, on the contrary, if you are so depressed every day, I will really have a headache, and I still count on you to help me maintain law and order in Hangzhou." Lu Yuan said earnestly.

"Yes, master, you still have to help my brother catch the bad guys!" Lu Yutong said crisply.

"Senior brother, thank you." Li Ruozhen whispered.

"What's polite to me, then I'll go first, these dishes should be eaten while they're hot, and I'll ask Yutong to send you the official certificate at night!"

Leaving such a sentence, Lu Yuan took Lu Yutong and left.
