Lu Chen was busy in the study for several days.

On this day, Concubine Jing went to the palace.

Before, Lu Chen had someone to pass the word, saying that he would come over to eat with King Jing at noon, but now the time is almost up, and the meals are about to be served, but Lu Chen is still missing, coupled with King Jing's longing, she couldn't help but be a little anxious, so she rushed to Lu Zheng and said: "Zheng'er, go to the study to see your father, why haven't you come here yet." ”

"Oh......" Seeing his father, Lu Zheng was a hundred unhappy in his heart, but his mother had a life, so he could only respond in a low voice, and then ran out very reluctantly.

At this time, in the study, the mountain of government affairs had almost been dealt with by Lu Chen, and what he was consulting in his hand now was the recital of Jian Rong, the head of Hedong County.

Jian Rong is a person who likes to slap horses and flatter, and his recital is not something within the people's livelihood, but in the text, Lu Chen's great achievements are written, and Lu Chen sings praises to him, and finally, he suggested that Lu Chen build a palace in the east of the river to show the power of the king.

He was purely flattering Lu Chen, or it could be said to be flattering, for this kind of recital, Lu Chen only glanced at it, and then threw it aside.

Not to mention that the country is preparing to repair the Lin'an Water Conservancy now, even if there is no such thing, Lu Chen has no idea about the palace, and feels that it is completely a waste of money.

At this time, Liang Xiao also walked in, bowed down and said, "King, it's not early, it's time to eat." ”

"Oh." Lu Chen responded and said, "Don't you say that this king almost forgot, you want to eat with Jingxi today." ”

"Come to think of it, Concubine Jing has been waiting for the king for a long time." Liang said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go wash up first." Lu Chen said, stood up and stretched.

After the two left, the study was also empty, but it didn't take long for Lu Zheng to slip in.

He was the third prince, and he wanted to see his father, of course, no one stopped him, but after entering the study, seeing that there was no one inside, Lu Zheng couldn't help but shout a few times: "Father...... Father......

No one answered, Lu Zheng couldn't help but spare the table, he was still young, he couldn't reach the table at all, tossed for a long time, before jumping onto the chair, and then the entire upper body was almost lying on the table, holding his chin with both hands, looking curiously at the bamboo slips on the table.

On the table, it was Lu Chen who had just finished reading it, Jian Rong's letter was still in an unfolded state, after reading it for a long time, Lu Zheng tilted his little head and thought about it, and then played with it, picked up the brush on the side, and pretended to write a 'quasi' under the concerto.

After he finished writing, he began to flip through other pieces randomly, fortunately, at this time, there happened to be footsteps outside the study, otherwise, let this little guy mess around, I don't know what big mess will happen!

Hearing the footsteps, Lu Zheng was startled, and quickly put down the brush and jumped down from the chair. After a while, Lu Chen, who had just finished washing, walked in, followed by Liang Xiao.

Entering the study and seeing that his third son was actually here, Lu Chen was stunned a little at first, and then asked, "Stinky boy, why are you here?" ”

"Oh...... It was my mother who asked me to come over......" Lu Zheng whispered, extremely afraid of his father.

Hearing him say this, Lu Chen immediately understood, stepped forward and took Lu Zheng's little hand and said, "Let's go." ”

As he spoke, he also began to take Lu Zheng out, and at the same time said without looking back: "Liang Xiao, send all those instructions to Lord Xue." ”

"No." Liang smiled and bowed in response.

The next morning.

"The ministers knock on the king, my king will be ten thousand years——"

The ministers knelt down, Lu Chen was wearing a royal robe and a crown, waved his hand in front of the throne, sat down and said, "Zhongqing is flat." ”

"King Xie—"

People got up one after another, behind the train, Wu Fang, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, was the first to stand up, he first gave a salute to Lu Chen, and then said: "The king, Weichen dared to ask, I don't know about the palace, what scale the king is going to build, and I hope that the king will show it, and the Ministry of Industry will appoint officials to start construction on a certain day." ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen's face was full of doubts, and he couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "What palace?" ”

He was puzzled, and when Wu Fang heard this, he was even more puzzled, and said in a loud voice: "This ...... The recital of the king's instructions has reached the Ministry of Industry, not ...... Isn't it to build a palace east of the river? ”

"What!?" When Lu Chen heard this, his face was full of incredulity, Jian Rong, the head of Hedong County, did have a performance, but he didn't pay attention to it at all, when did he approve it?

And at this time, when he heard that the king was going to build a palace, hundreds of officials in the court couldn't help but look at each other, and then, Li Gongfu was the first to can't help it, he stood up, and said: "King! Our country is at war all year round! The treasury has been insufficient, and now Yandi has just been governed, and there are many large counties, such as Lin'an and other places, there are still many problems with people's livelihood, and at this time, the king really should not build a palace, this move is really extravagant and wasteful, empty consumption of gold and silver! ”

"This ......" Lu Chen didn't know what to say for a while, because at this moment, his mind was completely thinking about what was going on.

And when he heard Li Gongfu say this, Yuan Jingguan immediately stood up and objected: "Lord Li's words are wrong, the king is majestic and strategic, sweeping away the countries, and how many people in the world are free from the scourge of swords and soldiers and the suffering of displacement, such a great achievement, what's wrong with building a palace?" Isn't that how it should be!? ”

"Humph! Such words! What a flattery! Li Gongfu said unceremoniously, and after speaking, he rushed to Lu Chen and said: "I, Wang Shengming, how can I do such a foolish thing, how much gold and silver does a palace cost!" Hedong, how much more taxes will be raised to make up for this vacancy! In this way, it can only make the people of Hedong miserable! ”

"Lord Li is too serious!" Another minister came out of the ranks, and then bowed his hand to Lu Chen and said: "The merits of my king are obvious to all in the world!" Don't say that a palace has been built! It's two, three, that's how it should be! Thinking about the Son of Heaven back then, I don't know how many palaces have been built in the world! It is also an overhaul of the terrace ......"

Before he finished his words, Li Gongfu interrupted him with a sneer: "This is a faint king!" How can it be compared with my king! When Lord Wang says this, is he saying that my king is also a faint king? ”

"You!" That Wang Da was so angry that he couldn't help but stretch out his hand and point at Li Gongfu, but just as he was about to continue to refute, Lu Chen waved his hand irritably, frowned and shouted:

"That's it! Shut up! The king didn't even say anything about what palace he was going to build! ”
