The Queen Mother did not answer why, but continued to ask: "Then do you want to send someone in charge?" ”

Emperor Han sighed and shook his head in disappointment, "I originally wanted to give high hopes to Xun Mou, the eldest son of Duke Wei, but I didn't expect him to be unfavorable, and I originally wanted to appoint Marshal Zhou again, but wouldn't this be a slap in the face, and wouldn't it seem that there was no one available in my court?" ”

The Queen Mother also nodded and felt reasonable, after all, the world is also her own family, "Why do you have to use these old ministers?" Doesn't Your Majesty also have his own cronies? ”

Emperor Han suddenly realized, yes! The new few people are all talents carefully cultivated by themselves, including Gao Yun, Liu Bozhao, and Wang Yan, all of whom are good candidates, but these people are just a little less resourceful and resourceful, if they are given this big responsibility, I am afraid that it is not a good choice, but it is Lanzhou Jiedu that makes An Shiqing good, diligent, stable and old, it is better to let him take the position, but what does the queen mean by what she said just now, does her old man also have a favorite candidate? So he asked, "Queen Mother, do you have someone you want to recommend?" ”

"I don't dare to say it, but I want to know someone for you!"

"Oh?" Emperor Han was surprised and surprised, thinking that the queen mother came to him early in the morning just for this person, "Who is it?" ”

The Queen Mother did not answer directly, but continued to hang the appetite of the Han Emperor, "This person is from Shanzhou, and he knows Shanzhou well, if he has his help to recapture Shanzhou, it must be just around the corner!" ”

"Queen Mother, don't hang your son's appetite for your old man, just say who you are! If it is suitable, his son will definitely appoint him with an official position. ”

"You know him too, his name is Lu Zuo!"

"Lu Zuo?" Emperor Han reacted for a moment, and suddenly remembered, "You mean Lu Zuo who is off the list today?" ”

The Queen Mother said: "Exactly, the mourning family has seen this person and knows that his talent is indeed a talent from heaven and earth." His Majesty removed him from the list at the beginning, which was really biased, and then he was wronged because of the rebellion of King Wei, and he almost lost half his life in prison, so it is also our Liu family who is sorry for him! ”

The Queen Mother said in the end, she unconsciously shed a few tears, the Han Emperor didn't know if the Queen Mother was because of Xu'er, or because of Lu Zuo, but when he heard the Queen Mother say that he wanted to recommend Lu Zuo, the Han Emperor couldn't help but start muttering in his heart, it was he who removed Lu Zuo from Shilin, and now he is used again, and he can't help but be suspected of changing the order every day, so he said with some embarrassment: "This ...... I'm afraid of not conforming to the rules! ”

The Queen Mother sneered: "Is it against your rules?" Or is it out of line with the rules of the ministers? Or is it that such a talent is out of order? Should he be jealous of being able to bury him? ”

"How can I say this, I don't mean this, it's just that you don't joke, I said that Lu Zuo was only allowed to retake the exam after three years, how can he go back on his word now? I'm afraid that the ministers will oppose it! Emperor Han vigorously explained.

"If you blindly stick to the old ways, wouldn't it be a mistake for the country and a misunderstanding. What's more, the imperial examination was just the mistake of King Wei, and this champion should have been his! ”

"......"

The Queen Mother said impatiently: "Okay, what the mourning family said about the people who have half of their bodies in the loess, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about it!" He is now in the 'Xinghua Restaurant' on Xining Street, and the words of the mourning family have come to this point, since you are the king of a country, then you have to be the sole decision! The Queen Mother stood up and walked out of the Qianren Palace with the support of the two maids.

Only the dumb Emperor Han was left in the hall, and his heart was in turmoil for a while, it seemed that Lu Zuo must have something extraordinary, so it was better to see him, try his ability first, and then decide whether to decide or not, so his eyebrows tightened, and he shouted loudly: "Come on!" Send someone to the 'Xinghua Restaurant' on Xining Street and pass Lu Zuo to see me! ”

In the prince's mansion, Liu Yan was enjoying the shade of the tree and teasing the birds, and when he heard his subordinates say that Lu Zuo was dead, although he didn't feel anything, he was in a good mood because of it, so he whistled and teased the birds with a small branch. The housekeeper stepped forward to tell Gao Han that he wanted to see him, Liu Yan smiled, but he didn't expect Gao Han, who hadn't appeared for a long time, to come to the door today, so he asked the housekeeper to bring him in.

Gao Han has not had a good time these days, after all, his younger brother Gao Yun has been promoted all the way, and now he is now an official to General Jin Wuwei, and he is only an inspector of the Ministry of Industry, and he has not been awarded an official position, so he will not be guaranteed after all.

Liu Yan saw Gao Yun coming to him with a nervous expression, and he didn't look at him, if it weren't for his younger brother Gao Yun serving in Jin Wuwei, he would never see him again, "What do you say?" ”

Gao Han straightened his throat and said embarrassedly, "Your Highness, the lower official is here to greet you!" ”

Liu Xu smiled coldly, "What? Aren't you busy in the Ministry of Works? ”

Gao Yun was even more helpless after hearing this, "The Ministry of Industry is so busy that the world's water conservancy, civil engineering, equipment and other things are all in charge of the Ministry of Industry, and the lower official is just a small outsider, but he is very busy every day for this, if it is not for the emperor's birthday, he can still rest for three days, otherwise he will have to be busy with the New Year's Festival!" Ay! ”

"Lord Gao, are you not satisfied?"

Gao Yun's face changed, and he said hesitantly: "The lower official doesn't dare, the lower official just thinks it'......"

"What do you think? Go ahead! There are no outsiders here either! ”

"I feel that the lower officials can't always serve by your Royal Highness's side, which is not steady." Gao Yun smiled flatteringly, but he was beating a drum in his heart.

Liu Yan laughed, "You are more interesting than your brother, how is Gao Yun now?" ”

Gao Han suddenly thought about it, if he really wanted to be promoted, it seemed that he still had to take advantage of his brother's relationship, "My brother is very good, I heard him say that the emperor trusts him very much now and praises him a lot." ”

Liu Yan glanced up at Gao Han with interest, "Oh! It's so good, your two brothers are officials in the court, and they serve the saint together, which is also a good story! ”

Gao Han knew that the prince had something else to say, so he smiled again: "The prince is joking, won't my brothers have to serve the prince when the time comes!" ”

"You can't say that! Today, the saint is in good health and has a long life! Although Liu Yan said this, he couldn't help but smile out of the corner of his eyes.

Gao Han was also busy smiling, and bowed and said: "Exactly, but the crown prince is also the prince, my brothers are loyal to you, and they are loyal to the saint." ”

"You've got a sweet mouth!"

Gao Han Zhengse said: "Your Highness, where is this, the lower official is all from the bottom of his heart, and the lower official often says this to his younger brother at home, if you don't believe it, you can ask him to go." ”

Liu Yan smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, if there is anything, just say it." ”

"This ...... The lower officials do have something to ask for. Gao Han smiled, "It's been a while since Xia Guan was appointed as an inspector wailang, and now his younger brother has become a general Jin Wuwei, but I'm still a small inspector wailang as my brother." ”
