Back in Jingzhou, Li Shan pondered going to Lu Jiuyuan to inquire first. This flower on the other side is involved in court disputes, and Lu Jiuyuan is the history of the imperial court, so he should have heard of it.

"Uncle Lu, are you going out?" Li Shan came to the Lu Mansion but saw that Lu Jiuyuan was about to get into the carriage. "Haha, that's what happened. Say the virtuous nephew, and the virtuous nephew will arrive. I have already received a report on the flood in Jingzhou to the imperial court, and the emperor is very happy, saying that we have made meritorious contributions to the construction of the river embankment, and we have already given a reward. I'm about to issue an edict to Lord Zhao and you. Lu Jiuyuan's face was full of red light, obviously he had received a lot of rewards, in his position, gold and silver treasures could no longer make him excited, presumably he was going to be added to the knighthood.

Li Shan smiled and said: "Uncle is so happy, presumably the emperor's reward must be very in line with my uncle's wishes, and the little nephew will congratulate my uncle first." Lu Jiuyuan was even more happy: "This time thanks to the merit of the virtuous nephew, if it weren't for the virtuous nephew who came up with such a subtle construction plan and made every effort in the construction, our previous approach would definitely not have been able to prevent such a big flood." Don't hide it from the virtuous nephew, this time the emperor named me the founding county uncle, and rode the captain, from the four products, and 700 households. ”

Li Shan didn't know much about the official position of the imperial court, but he knew that the Earl of the founding county was a knighthood, and the seven hundred households in Yi were already the size of a small county town, and Lu Jiuyuan was the sky in this fiefdom. This reward is indeed not small, no wonder Lu Jiuyuan couldn't close his mouth when he saw Li Shan.

"Okay, since you are here, then follow me to Zhao Jun's house, and when the time comes, we will read the will together, so that you don't have to let your family work." Lu Jiuyuan pulled Li Shan into the carriage and went to Zhao Jun's house. Lu Jiuyuan is still an old oilman, and it is a very troublesome thing to receive the holy decree, not only does the whole family have to go out to greet him, but he also has to kneel and kowtow, so Lu Jiuyuan deliberately set the place where the holy decree was read at Zhao Jun's house.

When he arrived at Zhao Jun's house, Li Shan saw that Lord Zhao had already taken a family to wait at the door. Seeing Lu Jiuyuan get out of the carriage, he hurriedly greeted him: "Lord Lu came in person, how can the lower officials be embarrassed." ”

"Lord Zhao has worked very hard during this time, and you are the first to build the river embankment, although the emperor rewarded the three of us. But the official knows in his heart who is the first to take the lead, Lord Zhao doesn't have to be modest, just accept the order. ”

Zhao Jun hurriedly knelt down to receive the order, Li Shan also knelt aside, Lu Jiuyuan took out the holy decree and began to read: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Jingzhou Thorn Shi Lu Jiuyuan commanded the construction of Jingzhou River embankment, do his best, keep one side safe, today specially give twenty brocades, a pair of jade Ruyi, seal Lu Jiuyuan as the founding county uncle, lead the cavalry captain, seven hundred households. At the end of his term this year, he was transferred to Luoyang Thorn History. He gave Jingzhou ten pieces of brocade and a pair of jade pots, and named Zhao Jun as a military captain. Give Li Shan five brocades, one jade bowl, and accept the general. In addition, Li Shan was ordered to enter the Beijing scientific examination as soon as possible and face the saint as soon as possible. ”

Li Shan pouted, this old emperor is really picky, and he specializes in appreciating these flashy things. It's better to take some real money. And Lu Jiuyuan was going to be transferred, which caught Li Shan off guard, Luoyang was an accompaniment, for Lu Jiuyuan, the transfer to Luoyang Assassin was undoubtedly a promotion, but for Li Shan, he lost his biggest umbrella in Jingzhou, and his hard-working network was about to be lost.

Although he doesn't have to worry about Lee Seung-wei threatening him again, this variable is never a good thing. "Uncle Lu, are you going to be transferred to Luoyang this year? Isn't the Jingzhou Thorn History vacant? ”

Lu Jiuyuan said with a smile: "Your uncle and I are not from Jingzhou, our family is in Chang'an, and it is natural to be transferred after serving in Jingzhou for three years." However, I didn't expect to transfer me to Luoyang, but the emperor's order is hard to disobey. The next assassin of Jingzhou must be promoted from below. It's either Lord Sun or your father-in-law, Lord Liu, who can't escape from them. ”

Li Shan was a little frustrated, but he was immediately happy when he heard this, I went, and I still didn't run out of my family after talking for a long time. Then I'm relieved.

"Virtuous nephew, it seems that the emperor attaches great importance to you this time. It's rare to be a general Shilang without a scientific examination, but when I submitted the report, I deliberately wrote your poem, and the emperor must be very interested in your talent. "Lu Jiuyuan people have happy events, and there are a lot of words.

Li Shandao: "What kind of errand is Shirou?" This emperor's edict is to let me enter Beijing as soon as possible for the scientific examination, what does it mean to face the saint? ”

"This Shirou is not an errand but a prose grade, and Shirou is from the ninth grade. As for letting you enter Beijing for the scientific examination and then face the saint, it must be that the emperor wants to test your literary talent, since you are excellent in literature, it is not difficult to move in the scientific examination, and the emperor will definitely summon you at that time, if you can't pass this level, the emperor will think that you are in vain, so he will not see you. ”

General Shilang and Shangqi Lieutenant are both ranks, which are equivalent to the current military ranks, and Li Shan's appearance is equivalent to a person who is not yet a soldier and has the rank of a corporal. And Lu Jiuyuan is equivalent to a regiment commander with the rank of major.

Li Shan will not be entangled in these false names, as for meeting the emperor in person, let's talk about it if he has a fate. Li Shan took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Lu Jiuyuan and said, "Uncle, I don't know if you have seen this kind of flower?" Lu Jiuyuan looked at it carefully and said: "This thing, it looks a little familiar, it seems that I have seen it somewhere, oops, I just can't remember where it is." You let me think about it. ”

Li Shan was overjoyed in his heart, it would be great if he could get some useful information from Lu Jiuyuan, and hurriedly said, "Uncle Lu, think about it, this thing is very important to me." ”

"I think I saw this in some book, so go home to me. I'll find it for you. Lu Jiuyuan seemed to remember a clue and urged the carriage to hurry back home.

"Haha, finally found it. Virtuous nephew, you see, it's in this book, I'll say I've seen it. "After Lu Jiuyuan rummaged through the cabinets in his study for a long time, he finally took out a book, and there was really a picture like this in the book." This copy of the Myoho-renge-kyo was given to my grandmother by Emperor Gojong. It's been a long time, and I've seen it once in a while, so I don't remember it very clearly. ”

Li Shan looked at a Buddhist scripture in Lu Jiuyuan's hand, and 10,000 grass and mud horses were galloping in his heart. Li Shan didn't want a Buddhist scripture, "That Uncle Lu, apart from this Buddhist scripture, have you heard of this kind of flower in other places?" For example, who uses this kind of words to make a logo or something? ”

Lu Jiuyuan frowned and thought about it, shook his head and said, "This thing is not common in the first place, and I really haven't seen it anywhere else." "Yes, it's empty joy again, it seems that I want to ask about the origin of this flower. Others really can't count on it.
