Chapter 069: Grace is Rare
As Song Xiang speculated, the Yu family was really having a hard time this time, and after Mrs. Yu handed down the emperor's verdict to Yu Xin, Mrs. Yu was invited into the Buddhist hall and pretended to be recuperating. Yu Huai'an didn't run away, and was whipped by his father.
Although Lu Zhan was reluctant to give up for days, these news still reached his ears.
When I arrived outside the Qianqing Palace, I saw Yu Guifei standing there quietly.
Concubine Yu Guifei is in her early forties, and Princess Jin is very kind every time she brings Lu Zhan into the palace, and she will bring cakes to him to eat.
Lu Zhan saluted, and Concubine Yu sighed and asked him to get up: "You go in, don't worry about me, I'll stand for a while and leave." ”
Lu Zhan nodded and entered the palace.
The emperor summoned him for Song Min's affairs, and the Yu family also asked him a few words by the way. Lu Zhan answered truthfully.
Finally, the emperor asked, "Why have you lost weight lately?" ”
Lu Zhan lowered his head: "Somehow, I've been losing my appetite lately. ”
"It's idle!" The emperor laughed, then paced a few steps and stopped under the window: "Find some errands for you to do, I think I won't be so idle." ”
After speaking, he looked over and asked again: "You have watched the Yu family's affairs from the beginning to the end, what do you think?" ”
The emperor's questioning was the most nerve-wracking. Lu Zhan didn't have the confidence to play with his mind in front of him, so he simply said truthfully: "This case involves three lives, and it shouldn't have been uncovered for more than a month." Of course, there are reasons why the Yu family deliberately covered it up, but in fact, the fact that the people did not dare to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to file a complaint also shows that it is difficult to report. ”
He himself admittedly knew about this, and he couldn't come forward directly due to various factors, if it wasn't for Song Xiang daring to be this brave man, the Li family would have been forced out of Beijing nine times out of ten.
And the Li family was lucky to meet Song Xiang, so what about the rest of the people who didn't have such good luck? Half of the people in the capital are officials, and half of them are people, so the probability of this is high.
The emperor snorted: "It seems that I really put my heart into it." ”
Lu Zhan was embarrassed: "My grandson is stupid, but he also cares about people's livelihood." ”
"Since you have concerns, how about simply going to the three divisions and six departments to watch the government?"
Lu Zhan paused for a moment and failed to answer.
"What's wrong? I haven't seen you for a few days, and my brain is not bright? The emperor sat down on the Luohan bed as he spoke, "Xingping can see your ability in this matter, and I heard your mother say that you envy your eldest brother for being able to follow your father on an errand, and it is good to be self-motivated, but I am afraid that you don't." The emperor paused, "I have already told the ministry, you will go to work tomorrow." ”
"Grandpa Huang forgives his sins, and his grandson just didn't expect that he would also have the honor to study in person from the Sixth Division." Lu Zhan said, kneeling down and thanking him: "Lu Zhan thanks the emperor for his grace!" ”
Historically, when the prince reached a certain age, he had to enter the six ministries to take turns to watch the government, and the King of Jin was also the same when they were young. But Lu Zhan is the grandson of the emperor, and after a generation, he really didn't think that he would have this opportunity.
Originally, he only wanted to take some temporary errands for him to manage his strength and act like King Jin, but he didn't expect that he would let himself enter the three divisions and six spicy politics!
This is naturally a good thing! It also shows that the emperor still values the Jin Palace. Thinking of this, he leaned over again and said, "Grandson must follow the will of the emperor's grandfather and study hard!" Live up to the hard work of the emperor's grandfather. ”
The emperor nodded and thought for a moment: "Since you have already watched the trial once, let's start with Dali Temple." ”
……
When Lu Zhan came out, Concubine Yu had already left, and there was still a faint fragrance at the door.
It is impossible for her to hear what is being said in the hall, so she has already retreated.
Lu Zhan exhaled deeply at the distant Shanluan, and walked out of the palace gate with his palms in his hands.
"Go to Dali Temple!"
The emperor's assignment of him to observe the government made him regain his spirit.
Although he racked his brains to justify himself in the relationship between husband and wife in his previous life, but in the end, none of them could stand, Song Xiang's words directly nailed him into the cracks in the ground, no, maybe it shouldn't be said that she nailed it, but he was to blame.
Since he has no face to go to her, then he will do what he should do first - the emperor will follow the request of Princess Jin to give him an errand, he believes that it is not entirely to give face to his daughter-in-law, and his performance in He Zhen must be one of the causes.
Since this path has made him feel right, what reason does he have not to grasp it well? He needs to build up strength, both in terms of ability and connections.
……
As a family in the middle of the court, the Shen family has always been able to cause a big stir in the capital with a little trouble, so the Shen family's family motto is to tell their children to act in a low-key manner.
This time, the old lady celebrated her birthday, firstly, because the old lady was miraculously cured after a serious illness in winter, and secondly, because the old lady's daughter and daughter-in-law also rushed back from the south to save relatives, so such a scene was done.
Of course, there is another reason that Shen Yu, the second girl of the Shen family, has been out of service for three years after losing her mother, and she is sixteen years old and needs to discuss marriage.
The sun is slanting westward, and Shi Yingniang, the woman of Qiwu Palace, also began to prepare for the Shen family's birthday banquet tomorrow for Princess Jin.
There were two pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the dining table, but only Princess Jin was eating alone. She tasted two mouthfuls and put down her teeth: "Zhan'er hasn't come back yet?" ”
Ying Niang glanced at the threshold, and someone under the door went down to inquire. Yingniang came to her with a phoenix hairpin: "Don't wait, the prince is often left by the emperor in the palace, and you don't know it." ”
"I know, but I don't feel at ease when I think he can't eat properly lately." Princess Jin looked at her, "What do you say is going on?" Earlier I said that the chef was not suitable, the chef was changed, and he was still so picky when he changed, and yesterday I saw that his eyes were sunken, is he not eating well or sleeping well? ”
Yingniang said: "The princess will eat first, and then go to Yanzhao Palace to ask Wei Chun." ”
The princess nodded and raised her teeth: "He has always had a problem with choosing a bed, and he changed his mattress a few days ago because of the summer, do you think he is not used to it?" ”
Yingniang should also go down.
The person sent out from this side came back again: "If you go back to the princess, the emperor will give an order to let the prince go to Dali Temple to watch the battle." The prince just left the palace and went to the yamen of Dali Temple. ”
Princess Jin was rejuvenated when she heard this: "So that's the case!" Suddenly nodded again: "I know, the emperor really hurts him......"
Yingniang smiled and said: "The emperor has always loved the son, and it is reasonable that he will cultivate the son like this." ”
Princess Jin smiled, and then frowned slightly: "Although grace is rare, he has never entered the officialdom, where does he know those cats?"
"There are many talents in Dali Temple, and I don't know if he can handle it. I have to go to Shen's house tomorrow, Yingniang, you go back and give Mrs. Lu the next post, just say that I will invite her to come over the house for tea the day after tomorrow. ”
Now the name of Dali Temple is Lu Chongfang.
Yingniang received the order and wrote it down in the book.
