Chapter 82: Meeting the Emperor
Xu Siye looked at the nervous Lu Xing, who naturally had nothing to say, so he could only slowly sigh with relief.
"Brother Lu, don't worry, that is, the emperor is entangled in something, although your official position is low, but you are indispensable in Yangzhou City, we can see it in the quiet waiting, and there will be nothing to do with you."
"That being said, before the emperor came back, I was always nervous in my heart, not for myself, but I was afraid that the emperor would be angry and would be connected to the nine clans, so what face would I have to see the ancestors and ancestors under the Lu family."
Lu Xing watched Xu Siye say this sentence slowly, and his face became solemn, completely different from the demeanor he had always joked about.
Xu Siye understood Lu Xing's thoughts, if he was an ancient person who had been recognized by stiff thoughts for a long time, if he was a nondescript person with unforgivable sins after his own generation, then he would not have the face to see the trust of the underground.
Xu Siye is from modern times, so naturally he can slowly make a plan without this concern.
"Brother Lu is worried, the emperor received the letter of the people, and you said outside that in Yangzhou City, no one does not praise the emperor for being an enlightened emperor, able to sympathize with the people and care for his subordinates, if this is the case, then I am afraid that in Yangzhou City, the people will not love the emperor for life, and the emperor will not be able to punish Brother Lu too heavily for his own face."
"I hope so, I just want to see my child grow up and be able to open up for my Lu family one day."
"Since Brother Lu has such a plan, he should live well."
Xu Siye saw that the emperor was in the future and walked slowly in the corner hall, which seemed to be used by the emperor to deal with family affairs, and it was not luxuriously decorated, but with the lacquer surface of the general lacquer, there was only a pair of handwritten letters on the wall that the beloved son of his parents had far-reaching plans.
"Brother Lu knows the origin of this sentence."
"Naturally, I know that this is from Zuo Chuan, he touched the dragon to persuade the Empress Dowager Zhao to say, that touch the dragon is also a generation of masters, and even persuaded the queen mother's youngest son, the younger son sent it as a hostage, so as to preserve the glory and wealth of the little son's last come."
"That's right, what Brother Lu said is exactly right, but there is a second meaning in this story, if the youngest son is not angry and does not devote himself to the Queen Mother, I am afraid that even if the Queen Mother asks his younger son to be sent as a hostage, it will be in vain."
As soon as Lu Xing heard this, he knew that Xu Siye had something to say, and hurriedly asked,
"What else does Brother Lu mean, you might as well say your baby, the two of us have long been friends of life and death, if there is anything else, I won't take it to heart."
"Brother Lu has ever thought about how the little prince can become a prince who can be invincible in other countries."
"You're saying he's because the old emperor taught him everything."
"Exactly, this prince should follow the old emperor's strategy, so this little prince can be in a corrupt place, and after the new emperor ascended the throne, he always killed a lot of powerful ministers, and he was not implicated in any way."
"Brother Xu let me live a few more years and let the children I personally teach grow up."
"This is one, and second, this handwritten book happened to be given to the emperor by the first emperor, I heard my father say that my first emperor is also very fond of His Majesty today, if this first emperor does not live up to the trust, how can he sit on the current throne."
"Brother Lu can ask the emperor to use the relationship between father and son, and he can't say that His Majesty let Brother Lu go for a while."
"Thanks to Brother Xu to help me with advice, if I was myself, I would never have thought of so much, I can only think of my emperor's kindness, this private granary is a big crime, if not, then there is no complete reason, I'm afraid the emperor will not be able to set this precedent."
"Brother Lu is polite, you and I have long been indistinguishable from each other, so there is no need to be so polite."
As soon as the two finished speaking, they watched the emperor slowly walk in from outside the hall, this is the second time Xu Siye has seen the emperor and is not nervous, and today he is reporting on salt affairs, and looking at Lu Xing, because he opened the granary privately, he has not seen the emperor yet, and he trembled when he heard the voice of the goalkeeper and almost couldn't stand steadily.
The Emperor walked in and did not look at the route and decision-making instructions, turned and sat down behind the backlog.
"You two have come today to tell you something, and if there is nothing to do, go away."
"The two of us have important things to tell Your Majesty, if not, you will never dare to offend Your Majesty's Tianyan, and you will not dare to disturb Your Majesty."
Xu Siye and Lu Xing saw that although the emperor was anxious, they had to be thoughtful, knelt on the ground, kowtowed deeply, and then said to the emperor.
"If there is something important to tell us, then there is no need to pay so much attention to it in the side hall, so you can stand up."
After the emperor said this, he waved his hand, motioned to the eunuch next to him to bring out two small children, and then asked Xu Siye and them to sit down and say.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Didn't you say that you don't have to be polite in the side hall? Why did you have so many courtesies this time? ”
The emperor looked at Xu Siye and Lu Xing, there was no trace of displeasure in the court, he was loyal to himself, and he was able to govern the country, if he did a good job, he would be his own minister, but now the government is all controlled by Shi Miyuan, if he can persuade this group of officials, and then unite the power of the officials, he will be able to firmly control the major affairs of the court in his own hands.
"I know that you two must be loyal to me, and you don't have to pay so much attention to so many courtesies."
Xu Siye saw that the emperor was already seated, so he presented the salt account book in his hand to an attendant next to him, and the attendant walked up slowly.
The emperor casually picked up a scroll of accounts and flipped through them a few times.
"These account books will be put here first, and I will give you an answer after I approve it, yes, how, but compared to Xu Youcheng's loyalty to me, his son must not be bad."
"I really can't imagine that you, a small internal affairs officer, would dare to open the granary and look at the people of a city in Yangzhou City, and say that you are under the influence of me, you are guilty."
The emperor looked at Lu Xing's face suddenly changed, and stared at Lu Xing in a daze, Lu Xing was shocked, they had seen such a hurry, even if they knelt down and said.
"The minister is guilty, the minister is guilty, I hope Your Majesty will be kind enough to let go of the minister's wife and relatives."
"Who told you this, and blamed everything on me?"
Lu Xing lowered his head, although Xu Siye told himself about this, but in such a situation, Xu Siye obviously wanted to help himself, the emperor was furious, and if he said what Xu Siye would do, he would be in a dilemma.
