Chapter 232: For a Teenager

Looking at the two completely different excerpts, Emperor Chu smiled and threw the excerpts on the stone table, picked up the tea that had been cooled, and took a small sip, and in front of him stood a group of important ministers such as Governor Yi, Pang Zhen, Tang Yin, Guan Zaide, and Lei Taiwei. The ministers did not speak, quietly waiting for Emperor Chu's instructions.

Autumn was getting cool in the imperial garden, and although the ministers did not give them a seat, they did not feel uncomfortable standing. Seeing that everyone was silent, Emperor Chu asked, "Everyone, you have already seen the two folds in front of you. This matter is not big or small. If what the prince said was true, then Qin Fei was guilty of greed for merit, and he was suspected of slandering the prince. If what Qin Fei said was true, then the prince would be suspected of taking the lead. The two of them, who is telling the truth? ”

Governor Yi's eyelids drooped slightly, his eyes and nose looked at his heart, as if he was in a fixed state, and he didn't make up his mind to speak at all.

Lei Taiwei can become one of the three dukes, and he is not a fuel-efficient lamp, this matter, saying that Qin Fei is not, will offend Governor Yi and Tang Yin, saying that the prince is not, God knows what Emperor Chu thinks in his heart?

Tang Yinfeng was light, standing there as if he was one with the Imperial Garden, but he didn't mean to speak.

Since Guan Zaide is optimistic about Qin Fei, he naturally doesn't want Qin Fei to lose anything because of this matter, but his identity can't talk nonsense, and he is also a national ruler.

Pang Zhen looked at an old minister beside him and encouraged: "Prime Minister, you are the head of a hundred officials, and you are decisive, and we are not as good as you in terms of problems." Why don't you tell us what you think first? ”

The three princes of the imperial court - the prime minister, the imperial lieutenant, and the imperial historian. He is in charge of civilian, military and supervisory duties. plus the governor of the Inspectorate Hall who is beyond the Three Realms and is not in the Five Elements, as well as Pang Zhen, the first master of the Chu State and the head of the internal guards, the marquis...... The lineup of ministers in front of him is extremely powerful, and if anyone sneezes, half of the eastern capital will tremble.

Lu Yueping, the prime minister of Chu State, is fifty years old this year, he is not from a wealthy family, when he was a teenager, Lu Yueping read poetry and books hard, and he was well-read. Later, he participated in the imperial examination and became the only genius who was connected to the three yuan in the Great Chu Dynasty. When Emperor Chu invaded Wei, Lu Yueping was still a member of the household department, but he was given an important task at that time, that is, the supply of the army. Before planning to attack Wei, he spent four years preparing everything needed for the attack on Wei - money, food, baggage, and even possible pensions for the soldiers. After the war, all kinds of emergencies were solved by him lightly.

After the success of the Wei war, Lu Yue Ping made great contributions, the prime minister at that time died of illness in office, the young Chu Emperor came to the sickbed in person, and wept: "The old prime minister has done his best for the country, worked hard for decades, and finally succeeded in cutting Wei, but he has not had time to enjoy a few days of good life and will leave me." I am young, and it is still difficult to manage a huge country, not to mention the conquered land of Tang and Wei. If the old prime minister is a fairy tour, I am afraid that I will not be able to do it! ”

As a result, the old prime minister pointed to Lu Yueping, who was accompanying Emperor Chu, hoarsely voiced, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there is Lu Yueping here, why worry about the world?" ”

After saying this, the old prime minister really swallowed his breath. I don't know if it's because of his recommendation, or if Lu Yueping's luck is extremely good. Just before the sickbed, Emperor Chu had decisively appointed Lu Yueping, who had not even been a household servant at that time, as prime minister.

This order made all the Great Chu Hao clans crazy, and the three princes of the imperial court could not escape from the palms of the big families, but now they actually fell into the hands of a person from a poor background. In time, the Lu family will inevitably become another big valve in the Chu State. The big families control the country, and what they are afraid of is that the rising new families will compete with them for interests. In the years after Lu Yueping took office, the gate valves fought with Lu Yueping for many years.

This prime minister does have the ability, either with a stick or with dates, to clean up all the gates and valves. In the blink of an eye, Lu Yueping has been the prime minister for 18 years. He can be called a veteran in the DPRK and China!

When His Majesty asks, there is always someone who wants to answer, and Lu Yueping knows very well in his heart that there is no big problem if others don't speak, but if they don't speak themselves, then the problem is a bit serious.

"Your Majesty!" Lu Yueping took a step forward: "Lao Chen thinks that both excerpts are exaggerated. Judging from the excerpts, it is true that Qin Fei went alone to persuade him to surrender, but if the prince did not deploy so many troops around Shunfeng Island. Pirates don't necessarily surrender right away. However, Qin Fei dared to meet the pirates single-handedly, and that courage was already extremely rare. ”

Captain Lei's eyelids propped up, and he teased: "The prime minister lives a good life. ”

Lu Yueping would not quarrel with Taiwei Lei, he continued: "Qin Fei has the courage to send this secret fold, which shows that the prince's actions in Anton are indeed dissatisfied. However, when it comes to the crown prince, it is His Majesty's family matter, so it is inconvenient for us to intervene. ”

Lu Yueping kicked the ball to Emperor Chu, and all the ministers suddenly felt relaxed. Everyone knows that the crown prince is in a hurry to grab credit and perform, and that is to compete for the throne. But the throne is such a thing, that is what Emperor Chu said to give to whomever he wanted. If he made up his mind to abolish the crown prince, it would be useless for the prince to steal the sky. But if he doesn't plan to abolish the prince, the prince will be a fart to grab some credit.

Of course, Emperor Chu understood Lu Yueping's intentions, he just smiled faintly: "That's how the prime minister sees it?" That's good, I'll make the following arrangements, and you'll see if there's anything else to add. ”

"Qin Fei applied for the pirates to be organized into the team of the Andong Prosecutor's Office, and I agreed. But to be divided into two parts, Cui Qixiao took a part of the people and all the family members into the port of Luoguang. Accept Qin Fei's direct command! ”

"Ren Pingsheng is a great talent, and he has to use it and can't do without it. I specially promoted Ren Pingsheng to be the deputy chief officer of the Great Chu Water Division and the deputy commander of the Jiangnan Battalion. After receiving the order, he can go to Jiangnan Daying to take up his post and assist Guan Ping in handling all the affairs of the water division. In order to facilitate his training and management, I allowed him to take half of his old troops to strengthen the strength of the Jiangnan battalion. ”

"Since it has surrendered, it is the army of Da Chu, and Yulu will be issued according to the wolf's tooth troops, and each person will be rewarded with a certain amount of gold and silver, which will be decided by the household department. And Ren Pingsheng himself, I personally rewarded him with 10,000 taels of gold and 10 beauties, and gave him a house in Dongdu. ”

"Qin Fei persuaded him to surrender, and I allowed him to still be his town governor in Andong, but he was promoted to the commander of Tongzhi and concurrently served as the town governor of Anton. As for the crown prince, I was very disappointed, and everything will be talked about when I return to Beijing. ”

Emperor Chu's tone made the ministers have a strange feeling, as if they already knew that if the crown prince returned to the eastern capital, he would definitely face a storm. There are all important ministers in front of me, and being able to say in front of so many people that the prince is very disappointing is undoubtedly to tell them that Lao Tzu has already moved his mind to change the heir.

Everyone's mind has already started, and almost everyone thinks of a possible successor - Duanwang!

"If you don't add anything to my words, then according to this meaning, inform the celebrant to draft the edict!" Emperor Chu said lightly.

Lu Yueping immediately said: "The minister is against it." ”

"What are you against?" Emperor Chu asked in surprise.

"Qin Fei was already a town governor at a young age, and he had a bright future, but now His Majesty added him to the rank of Tongzhi Admiral with a word. The entire Inspectorate was nothing more than one governor, six admirals, and a dozen admirals. Now that Qin Fei is such a high-level official, can his force be able to convince the public? Is his virtue convincing? If he ends Anton's term of office and is transferred back to the Eastern Capital, which division will he go to? Can I get along with my colleagues? Your Majesty, the admiral of Tongzhi, who is not yet twenty years old, in the three hundred years of Great Chu, the old minister really can't think of any of them. Lu Yueping bravely raised his objections, ignoring the anger from Governor Yi and Tang Yin next to him.

"Prime Minister...... Governor Yi seemed to wake up from a dream, and said lightly: "In other words, in the three hundred years since the founding of the Great Chu, he was directly promoted from the household member Wailang to the prime minister, I want to think about it, that is, you alone, right?" ”

Tang Yin saw that Governor Yi had fired first, and said coldly: "It doesn't matter if a person's ability and age are there, right?" His Majesty had already pacified the Wei State in his twenties. According to what you say, don't you look down on the ancestors and ancestors of the Chu State? ”

Lu Yueping began to sweat all over his body, and he just raised an objection, thinking that the little kid became the commander of Tongzhi at a young age, so he could pay it back later? Besides, Qin Fei has made so many troubles in the Eastern Capital, Lu Yueping can't say that he has a bad impression of him, but he doesn't have a good impression either. He just considered it purely from the perspective of the prime minister, if Qin Fei had risen all the way at such a young age, and even after Governor Yi retired, he didn't even have a buffer figure, so he directly took over the Prosecutor's Office, and with his age, he could command the Prosecutor's Office for many, many years. Young people are always ambitious, and it is not necessarily a good thing for the Prosecutor's Office to fall into the hands of ambitious people.

Obviously for the sake of the country, the people and the king, why was Governor Yi and Tang Yin take turns to buckle the big hat? It also involved the ancestors and ancestors of the Chu State?

Captain Lei coughed lightly, and while no one else saw it, he slightly poked Guan Zaide beside him, and said in a low voice: "Old Guan, go on...... That's your future grandson-in-law. ”

Guan Zaide replied leisurely: "Although it may be my grandson-in-law, there are already two strongmen in battle." If I go on again, I'm afraid Prime Minister Lu won't be able to bear it. Lord Taiwei, I heard that your grandson's personal relationship with Qin Fei is quite good, it seems that you are also ready to stand on Qin Fei's side? ”

Captain Lei snorted, and when he saw that fanning the flames was unsuccessful, he simply did not speak.

Emperor Chu liked to see the posture of the ministers bickering, and he didn't say anything when he smiled.

Lu Yueping has always been very cautious in doing things, and he is rarely caught by people, but when he meets these two people today, he can be regarded as hitting an iron plate. If he knew what Qin Fei really meant to Tang Yin and Governor Yi, he was afraid that he would be able to bite off his tongue with regret!
