Next Chapter

The capital, the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Father, I will be crowned in half a decade, and when the time comes, you will have to help me find an official position, not too high, from the third grade." Lu Ji sat on the chair and picked up the peeled lychee and said with a smile.

"From the third product? Who are you and my father? Let me tell you, you have to participate in the imperial examination, you have to show your strength, and when the time comes, I will speak more hard at the ministry, for the peace of mind of all the officials you want, otherwise you will stay at home all the time. Lu Yu stared at his only heir with wide eyes, his face full of melancholy.

"Dad, look at what you said, which of these six books was not single-handedly pulled up by you back then, just to be an official, if you speak, can they still do it?" Lu Ji looked unimpressed.

"You stay at home well, study hard, in a few years I will give you a talk to the emperor and say, get you an official position, when the time comes, you can make any fuss you like, you give me a little peace in the past few years, don't think I don't know what you think in your heart, impossible is impossible." Lu Yu got up and was about to leave.

"Dad, the emperor and his old man have been in the past few years, and when the time comes, we will send my sister to the palace, anyway, the prince has no marriage match, and when the time comes, with your father's status in the court, being a princess is not a matter of being captured, and we are also relatives of the emperor." The more Lu Ji spoke, the more excited he became, and he didn't notice Lu Yu who was so angry that his face turned blue.

Lu Yu endured it and didn't break out, and asked, "Why do you want to be an official?" Why do you want to be a relative of the emperor? If it's to show off your power in the future, then you can do it now, after all, your father and I are still a little thin in the court, but if it's for your ambition, you still have to die of this heart. ”

"I know, Dad, my son retired first, and went back to read, alas~ Bitter, my father became an official of the court, and I can't do it if I want to be an official in the court, so I went to my mother to complain." Lu Ji said loudly, with these cries in his voice, it was not the first time at first glance.

"Okay, don't pretend, I will rely on you every time I am a child, but this thing is not good, the emperor treats me like a brother, how do you let me do this kind of thing? You have read the Four Books and the Five Classics since you were a child, what? Forgot even the basics? Lu Yu unexpectedly ignored Lu Ji this time.

Lu Yu then said lightly: "There are three categories of officials in this world, one is to think more about the people, these people are the Qingtian lord in the eyes of ordinary people, they are Qing officials, and the other is to think more about themselves, these people are traitors and traitors in the eyes of the people, if something big happens, these people must be in it, the last category is like me, who thinks more about the emperor, in the eyes of the people, these officials are first-class corrupt officials, and I am the biggest corrupt official in this dynasty."

"Not only the people, but also many officials in the DPRK and the central government, even if they don't say anything on the surface, behind the scenes, they are not all poking my backbone and scolding, every morning at the end of the court, the emperor's participation in my book is higher than the mountain, if the emperor has not been pressing, I would have been drowned by those people's saliva."

"Dad, you didn't do anything? If I knew who the ginseng father was, all of these people would be finished, and they would all be sent to the frontier one by one! Lu Ji clenched his fists, this was the first time his father had told him about these things, he thought that with his father's status in the court, how could such a thing happen.

"Yes, I was eager to kill them all with a knife, and just when I was about to make a move, the emperor summoned me." Lu Yu said calmly, just like an outsider.

"The emperor is going to make decisions for you?" Lu Ji asked.

Lu Yu glanced at Lu Ji and laughed softly: "At that time, I became the prime minister at a young age, so I thought that it was not a big deal, but now I think it is ridiculous!" "After the emperor summoned me, he moved the folds to me one by one, and then told me the names of these people one by one, and also made it clear to me which people could be killed, who could be imprisoned, and which people could not be moved."

"Dad, how did you do it, how many did you kill?" Lu Ji sat down and looked at Lu Yu.

"In the end, the emperor still knows me best, and he has made it clear to me, so I can only forget about it, but the emperor has also killed a few and imprisoned a few, which can be regarded as giving me an explanation, after all, I still think a lot about the emperor." Lu Yu said with a smile.

"What is this, if it were me..." Lu Ji was interrupted before he finished speaking, "If it were you, I wouldn't be alive today, I was known as the prime minister of Qingzi at the time, do you think I really rely on writing a good article?" How old was I? In your twenties! The youngest of the officials in the same dynasty as me are also in their forties, and most of these people are ministers left by the emperor, and if I don't have the emperor's protection, I don't even know how they died.

"Of course, there is also the meaning of the emperor using me to restrain me, but it doesn't matter, as long as I can live, over time, I have survived many people, and I have cultivated my own power, when the emperor wants to raise some more people to restrain me, I found that the people he cultivated are all my people."

"Dad, then why don't you just ... Lu Ji didn't say those two words, he knew that the last thing his father wanted to hear was those two words.

"You're asking why I didn't rebel?" Lu Yu spoke lightly, not caring at all whether what he said would reach the emperor.

"Dad..." Lu Ji said softly, even if this is in the Prime Minister's Mansion, there is no need to worry about the incident of having ears on the wall, even if these subordinates hear something and run to the emperor to complain, their bodies will be sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion the next day, joke, the emperor will believe that Lu Yu will rebel?

"I can say this, but you can't, you will know in the future, even if I stand in front of the emperor now and say that I am going to rebel, the emperor will only smile and say, is it that you have taken a fancy to my wine again?" Lu Yu said indifferently,

"As long as there is me for a day, the world will still be his Zhao family, although there are many beauties in the emperor's harem, but there are very few heirs left, and even fewer can have the ability to inherit the throne, don't look at the emperor now, the body is not good, the early dynasty rarely comes, in fact, it is tough, in five or six years of life, he is actually like to see which people can't help but run out of their own hands to be wronged."

"Who do you think Dad would be stupid enough to stand up?" Lu Ji opened his mouth and asked, Lu Ji can be said to know nothing about the secret private affairs in the palace, first, he is not that interested, and second, he is not necessary, but this time his father mentioned it, so he simply knew more about it, so as to pave the way for his future.

Lu Yu did not answer his son's question, but stood up and straightened his waist, raised his hand and patted Lu Ji's shoulder, and said with a smile: "I can last this family for twenty years at most, I promised the emperor that he would not rebel, whoever rebelled I would kill him with my own hands, if I am still alive in twenty years, I will still support me, if I die, there is no need to think about avenging me, because this world has changed masters."

"Dad, it won't." Lu Ji said with a smile.

"Dad's shoulders are not broad, it is enough to protect you and this family." For the first time since he became prime minister, Lu Yu held his waist so straight, like a tiger descending from a mountain.

"Dad, and me, I've grown up, and I can carry this family." Lu Ji looked at Lu Yu's figure and shouted loudly.

Lu Yu's straight waist bent down again, glanced back at Lu Ji, and said in a deep voice: "What do you want to carry?" It's up to you? When you learn not to say such things, you will be able to support the family. After saying that, he turned his head and left, leaving Lu Ji alone.

"Dad, maybe I can carry it together with my small family." Lu Ji tapped his fingers on the table.
