Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell

Liu Yan saw that Gao Han was dissatisfied in his words, so he also deliberately joked with him, "What? Think the position is low? The oil and water of the Ministry of Industry is not less than that of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, right? ”

"That being said, the small ones have a humble position, where can their subordinates smell these meats! Besides, Master Pei Yuanjin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is an honest and honest old official, where do our subordinates dare to squeak. ”

"How is Pei Yuanjin's old guy doing lately?" Liu Yan also knew that Pei Yuanjin was an old minister, and the saint trusted him even more, and in the past few decades of his reign, the work done by the Ministry of Industry was in an orderly manner, and there was no mistake, so it was really difficult to hit his idea, so no one in the Ministry of Industry had dared to get involved.

Gao Han smiled bitterly and said, "Master Pei is getting old, and his body seems to be much worse than before!" A few days ago, when I came to the government office to order, I almost fainted, probably because I was old and tired from getting up early. ”

"Hmmm! It seems that the selection of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu has to be selected as appropriate! Liu Yan said lightly.

Gao Han hurriedly knelt down and thanked: "Thank you for the grace of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" ”

Although Liu Yan looked at him with disdain, the corners of his mouth still couldn't hide the ecstasy, "You will be opportunistic!" ”

"The lower officials are loyal, the sun and the moon can be seen, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince naturally pities the rain and dew!" Gao Yun said with a smile.

"Okay!" Liu Yan laughed, "Now that there is a shortage of waiters in the Ministry of Works, the palace will naturally recommend you in front of Your Majesty." ”

Gao Han once again fell to the ground to thank him, his eyes welling with tears of excitement.

"Get up, you're welcome. As long as you can be loyal to the Han, you will naturally not be treated badly. ”

"Your Highness!" Gao Han slowly stood up, "Your Highness will definitely bow down and die for your Highness, in order to repay Your Highness's kindness." ”

Liu Yan took a moment, then asked again, "But I heard that your brother doesn't eat copper beans that can't be steamed or cooked, but is it true?" ”

Gao Han looked embarrassed, he didn't know how to talk about it, but he didn't dare to lie, so he had to bow and answer: "The younger brother is indeed this problem, I'd rather bend than bend!" Gao Han realized that his words were wrong, and hurriedly came back, "This is true, but the eldest brother is like a father, and he is the elder brother who is the lower official in the family." ”

"Oh! Is it? Liu Yan smiled happily, "Then it seems that your brother is doing a very competent job!" ”

Gao Han smiled slightly, "Don't dare not ......"

Gao Han's voice fell, and the butler of the Prince's Mansion came with a look of imposing eyes, and called His Highness while walking briskly.

Liu Yan impatiently threw the branch in his hand into the flowers in front of the shade, turned around and glanced at the housekeeper, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

The housekeeper hurriedly walked up to the prince and whispered a few words, and the prince's face changed instantly, and he shouted, "What? How can it be? Just now Deng Zhuo also said that the person is dead, why would the Holy Lord summon him at this time? ”

Seeing the prince's expression, Gao Han asked curiously: "What happened to Your Highness......

Liu Yan didn't wait for him to speak, and raised his hand impatiently at Gao Han, "You stand down first!" ”

Gao Han bowed and left in embarrassment.

The butler was also so anxious at this time that he stomped his feet and said, "Your Highness, it's true. Someone from the palace just came to say that His Majesty had sent someone to summon Lu Zuo. ”

Liu Yan excitedly took the butler's hand, "How does Your Majesty know that Lu Zuo is still alive?" ”

"Someone said that it was Lu Zuo recommended by the Queen Mother to His Majesty."

Liu Yan said angrily: "Then is Lu Zuo dead or alive?" ”

"The slave doesn't know, but I just heard what people said, so it must be very likely that it was not Lu Zuo who died last night."

Liu Yan was so angry that he puffed out his cheeks, Xun Mou repeatedly told him that he must kill Lu Zuo, thinking that he might miss again, he couldn't help shouting: "Call Deng Zhuo to me!" ”

Shao leaned, the housekeeper went and returned, followed by Deng Zhuo, the two hurriedly came to Liu Yan, Deng Zhuo saw the red face of His Royal Highness the Prince of Dao, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, "The subordinates are incompetent!" Please forgive your sins. ”

"So Lu Zuo is really alive!" Liu Yan suppressed his anger, and every word seemed to pop out between his teeth.

Deng Zhuo lowered his head, "When my subordinates heard about this, they immediately went to Xinghua Restaurant to inquire, and Lu Zuo was indeed alive." I didn't expect him to be so treacherous and cunning......"

"Alright, no more talk!" Liu Yan interrupted Deng Zhuo's words, "Where is Lu Zuo now?" ”

Deng Zhuo raised his head, clenched his fists and said: "The person sent by his subordinates reported that he had just been picked up by the frame in the palace, and his subordinates came to report to His Highness!" ”

"What? Why are they so fast? It seems that some precautions have been taken! Liu Yan muttered.

"Your Highness, do you need your subordinates to intercept him halfway and finish him off?"

Liu Yan stared at Deng Zhuo angrily, "Lu Zuo is the person His Majesty wants to see now, if he dies and is found out, your whole family will have to be buried with him." ”

Deng Zhuo bowed his head and was silent.

"Did you send someone to inform Xun Mou about this?"

"It's not time yet!"

Liu Yan waved his hand anxiously, "Prepare the horse and go to the Weiguo Mansion." ”

"What?" In the wing room of the Weiguo Mansion, Xun Yu's father and son were surprised. Xun Mou even pointed to Deng Zhuo, who was kneeling on the ground, and scolded: "What are you doing, something is still wrong in the end." ”

Deng Zhuo was also speechless, knowing that there was nothing to say at the moment, so he had to lower his head and let them scold.

Xun Yu has been in the sea for a long time, and in the end he is relatively calm, he raised a cup of tea on the table and took a sip, "Okay, Mou'er, this can't be all blamed on General Deng." You must know that he is facing Lu Zuo, who is a hundred times more cunning than a fox, and the two corpses that were charred last night are estimated to be Lu Zuo's golden cicada shelling tactic to achieve the purpose of blinding people's eyes. ”

The crown prince also stood up and asked Xun Mou anxiously: "Yes, General Xun, what do you think Your Majesty summoned Lu Zuo for this time?" ”

Xun Meng's face sank like water, and he couldn't understand it after thinking about it for a long time, "Yes! What did the Queen Mother say to Her Majesty? After hearing this, how could His Majesty summon Lu Zuo in such a hurry? What is it for? ”

Xun Mou's series of questions made the prince's heartstrings tense, if Lu Zuo did have real materials, if he really got the reuse of the saint, and he had another festival with him, after being an official in the same dynasty at that time, it would definitely not be a good sign, if he was recruited by King Ning, it would be even worse.

Deng Zhuo also intended to defuse the tense atmosphere at this time, "General Xun, did you say that it was just a summon and no other reason?" ”

Liu Yan seemed to comfort himself like this, "Yes, could it be that we are thinking too much." ”

"I hope so!" Xun Mouchang breathed a sigh of relief, "But my intuition tells me that it's not that simple. With what I know about Lu Zuo, it is impossible for him to let go of this opportunity to face the saint so easily to show his talents. ”

Xun Yu also nodded, "Mou'er is right, Lu Zuo is cunning and abnormal, what an opportunity the Holy Lord summons, how can he let it go?" ”

The prince shook his head nervously, Lu Zuo escaped death from the palm of his hand again and again, he must have a lot of resentment towards himself, it seems that Lu Zuo is really not good at coming this time, and he couldn't help but ask Xun Mou with palpitations: "Then how is it good now?" ”
