Chapter 143: Relatives and Aliens Are Different
Liu Yu didn't know about firearms, but only roughly knew the principle of muskets. drew a sketch of the rifle, but it was difficult to outline some details, Liu Yu himself couldn't understand it, and Wu You next to him didn't know what to do. Liu Yu handed over the drawings to Wu You and said, "Tomorrow, you will call the craftsmen from the Ministry of Engineering to consult the details together." ”
Wu You took Liu Yu's drawings and frowned and looked at them for a long time, although he still didn't know the essentials, but he had seen Liu Yu's skills before, and he didn't doubt the feasibility of the weapon invention on this drawing.
Coming out with the guards, he felt tiger and tiger everywhere he went, and Liu Yu was only afraid that it would be inconvenient to go out of the palace gate. Liu Yu called Lian Husheng and instructed each guard to prepare ordinary people's clothes and change them when they left the palace.
Liu Yu was about to go home, when he heard someone calling in the distance, looking over, Su Yan ran over while waving and shouting "master", and was out of breath after standing still.
"Division...... Master, my father has set a wedding date for me and Xiaoyu. Su Yan took a breath of excitement and continued, "Just ten days later, on the fourth day of the eighth month. My father was unwell and couldn't attend, so I specially asked the master to be the main marriage. ”
It is also an honor for a courtier to be the main marriage of the king and the concubine. Liu Yu smiled and patted Su Yan's shoulder and said, "Congratulations, kid, you will be a person with a family and a career in the future, settle down, don't always think about how to play." When the time comes, your wife and I will definitely go. ”
Liu Yu suddenly remembered that Wang Hu's marriage was also at the beginning of next month, one on the fourth day of the new year and the other on the fifth day of the new year, and the family was happy and the family was worried.
The master and apprentice walked to the door of Dongye together, chatting all the way, talking about today's deliberations.
Su Yan said: "After returning to Chang'an City, I found that the new prime minister had a lot of things, and he simply had a fight with my fourth imperial sister. That mouth just isn't idle. I listened to him alone during the whole discussion. My fourth emperor sister quarreled with him for a few words. It's unpleasant. He also taught me, saying that my children should not be taught, and he was right, I didn't reason with him. This guy is quite annoying. ”
Liu Yuzhi said that he was talking about the new right minister Yuan Bolang, the old minister who was famous for being loyal to the emperor.
"What are you talking about today?"
"Today's discussion is about two scripts, one is for disaster relief in Guanzhong. In some places, the drought is severe, and the transferred grain is being distributed. The Nanyang gan is almost finished, and it is said that it can be harvested before winter. ”
Liu Yu "oh" sounded, thought about it, the drought in Guanzhong has not been alleviated, although the water conservancy in Guanzhong is still quite developed, but it can't help such a big toss, and the smooth planting of Nanyang sweet does not mean that there will be a good harvest. Liu Yu hadn't seen Qi Fang since he returned to Chang'an, and it was expected that the emperor had sent Lu to protect Tang Cai and Gan Mao's uncle and nephew.
"There is also a matter about the disposition of those who had bad intentions in the court yesterday. Wang Shangshu of the Criminal Department is also there, and he seems to say that he should be dealt with lightly and decided according to the case of the third emperor brother last time. The surname Yuan doesn't think so, he thinks it should be dealt with severely. Set an example. The argument between the two sides was quite fierce, and seeing how much they were arguing, I watched from the side for a while and didn't interject. Su Yan looked at Liu Yu and said, "Master, I always felt that the affairs of the court were very mysterious, they did all the big things, and the means of doing things were not ordinary. Now it seems that there is no difference from ordinary people, but it is noisy, but there is even a scolding mother, today Wang Shangshu and an official of Dali Temple surnamed Lin almost pinched up. ”
Liu Yu smiled: "It's all a nose and a mouth, it's all about personnel, there's no fuss." If you learn more there, it will be good for you to deal with people in the future. ”
Su Yan was very convinced by Liu Yu's words, and nodded with a smile. His face was still filled with the joy of being married.
When they arrived at the door of Dongye, Lu Chu'er and other female guards were already waiting, and when they saw that Liu Yu was followed by a group, Lu Chu'er straightened her waist and deliberately wanted to show the majesty of the female army. But seeing that all those people entered the room next to the Imperial Forest Military Office and changed into ordinary clothes, Lu Chu'er scratched his head and couldn't understand it, and at this time Liu Yu and Su Yan had already walked out.
"Go home." Liu Yu said to Lu Chu'er, who was stunned, and Lu Chu'er was still looking at the guards in the door, faintly repulsive hostility.
Back in the house, Xu Xuanzhu and Sui Yu were discussing the banquet in the front hall, Liu Yu walked in, Sui Yu got up and saluted, Liu Yu just sat on the side with a smile and listened for a while, Sui Yu felt embarrassed, just after they finished discussing, under the pretext that there was a prior departure at home.
Seeing Sui Yu away, Xu Xuanzhu came over and said, "Husband, the sister of the Sui family said that the wine and food for this banquet were supplied by Yuelaiju, and she also said that she would not charge money. But how can she break the bank again and again? Only then did she say that it would be charged at cost, and that some manpower would be provided. ”
The matter is handed over to Xu Xuanzhu and Sui Yu to do Liu Yu is also relieved, now his errand is not as idle as before, even if the old emperor said that he can be an errand, but there are so many people and things in the Royal Forest Army, and he can't be idle if he wants to.
There was still some time before dinner, Liu Yu entered the study, and wanted to draw a detailed drawing of the musket. But seeing the hundred official books on the shelves, Liu Yu suddenly wanted to open it again.
It was an eventful time, and Liu Yu had to plan for his future. Now he has broken with the king of Chu, but the old emperor doesn't seem to know, and he still wants him to continue to develop power for the king of Chu in preparation for the king of Chu to become the king of Chu in the future. That's troublesome.
Once the king of Chu returned to Chang'an City and told the emperor in person, Liu Yu's status was not guaranteed, and the old emperor was worried that it would be very bad for him to suppress him again. This must be planned in advance, and it is best to solve the problem in advance. Looking for someone to kill the King of Chu? Unrealistic. Showing favor to the king of Chu again? King Chu's suspicion is in the same vein as the old emperor, and more importantly, King Chu is still an arrogant and obsessive-compulsive patient, and what he recognizes cannot be changed easily. This path doesn't work either.
"It would be nice if Su Yan's kid fought for some anger." Liu Yu sighed and muttered to himself.
After opening the official book and looking at the net worth of some ministers, Liu Yu felt clueless. Vaguely, only Ming Jin, who was beside the King of Chu, gave him some ideas, but this kind of thinking was difficult to summarize. It is nothing more than how to use Ming Jin to make the old emperor lose the trust of the king of Chu.
In the middle of the excitement, the sky gradually darkened. Lu Chu'er's head dangled at the door of the study.
"Uncle, that bastard surnamed Qu is asking to see you outside, oh, and Liu Wu." Lu Chuer was teased by Qu Zhu in the Fourth Princess's Mansion that day, and although Qu Zhu was also Liu Yu's guest, Lu Chuer lacked a good impression of him.
Anyway, the arrangement of Qu Zhu into the Imperial Forest Army was planned by Liu Yue a long time ago, and now he is visiting to talk about it. went to the front yard with Lu Chu'er, Qu Zhuhe hurriedly saluted, and Liu Wu directly knelt on the ground and kowtowed in gratitude.
"No need to be polite, please come in."
When they arrived at the main hall, the maid served tea, Qu Zhu looked natural, but Liu Wu couldn't let go. His status in the Dingguo Marquis Mansion is not high, and he doesn't even have the opportunity to enter the house, let alone sit at the table and drink tea as a guest.
"The officials sent you on an errand?" Liu Yu came up and asked.
Qu Zhu said: "There is no news from the Ministry yet, and Brother Zai Xia and Brother Liu have settled in their homes first, and then they came to ask General Liu to see them." ”
Liu Yu looked at Liu Wu, who lowered his head and didn't speak, and asked a few words, only to realize that Liu Wu had already found a small courtyard in the city to live in, and was ready to wait for the appointment of the imperial court with peace of mind. For an official who is innocent in net worth, innocent in learning, innocent in purse, and innocent in purse, this kind of waiting is likely to be a group of dazed waits.
Liu Yu said earnestly: "Xiao Wu, you are not like Qu Zhu, he has knowledge and martial arts, and he can quickly adapt to being a good errand wherever he goes." In this way, I will talk to Sui Shaoyin of Jingfu and ask him to find you an errand in Jingzhao Mansion first, and the position is not high, so start from low and learn slowly. Don't be discouraged and do your best. ”
Liu Wu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed again: "The twelfth young master gave the villain a chance, and the villain was full of liver and brains, and he would never dare to dislike it." ”
"Get up, get up." Liu Yu helped Liu Wu up, "Now you are also an official, we are colleagues." In the future, just arch your hands when you see each other, kneel when you don't see each other, as long as you work hard, the future is immeasurable. ”
After Liu Wu returned to the capital in the past few days, he received the first official salary in his life, which was twelve taels. felt like a dream, and now facing Liu Yu, he really hated to kneel on the ground for a few days and nights to express his gratitude first.
Liu Yu said to Qu Zhu after the most reluctance: "Mingli, you should have heard that something happened in the Imperial Forest Army in the past few days. There are quite a few vacant positions. You have martial arts, and talent, I plan to let you enter the Imperial Forest Army to help, the official will not do very much, Qipin can only be a left guard, but you can rest assured, as long as I am here, you will be promoted in the Imperial Forest Army. ”
Qu Zhu clenched his fists and said in a sonorous tone: "My subordinates must do their best to serve the imperial court and live up to General Liu's cultivation grace." (To be continued......)
