Weiyang Palace, front hall.

"See my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

His Royal Highness, a hundred officials, bowed to Liu Wei.

Among them, the most eye-catching is Lu Qi, who still stands up and just bows.

"All Aiqing is exempt from courtesy!"

Liu Wei, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked at his nose and nose, carefully remembering the many teachings that his mother said to him last night, and he didn't dare to look at Lu Qi at all.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Baiguan slowly got up.

"I have something to tell you about this court."

"You Aiqing should know what happened yesterday, right?"

Liu Wei held on to his sense of fear and struggled to memorize the words in his head.

"Your Ministers know."

When His Royal Highness heard this, his expressions were all extremely strange, but none of them dared to look at Lu Qi, who was the leader of the ranks of military attachés, but he just collected his thoughts and responded.

"Well, I was captured by that hateful traitor Zhang yesterday, but fortunately Lu Aiqing rescued me in time, so I was spared."

"Today, above the court, I want to reward my deeds, what do you think Aiqing should do?"

Liu Wei recited again.

"This..."

Yuan Kui and a series of ministers quietly glanced at each other when they heard this, but they didn't know how to answer...

After all, Lu Qi is now a first-class general in the official residence, and at the same time he is ranked as the same as the third duke, and if he is rewarded upward, there will only be a king with a different surname...

However, as early as the Western Han Dynasty Gaozu Liu Bang White Horse Alliance said that "the king is not the Liu family, and the world will fight together", since then, the entire Eastern Han Dynasty has no king with a different surname, and even, even in the original work, the princes and warlords are divided, and no one is called the king, only Yuan Shu is the emperor.

From this, it is not difficult to see the significance of the king with a different surname.

"It seems that all of you Aiqing have no objections, so I will do what I want."

Seeing that none of His Highness's officials dared to respond to his question, Liu Wei hurriedly seized the opportunity, and then said:

"Yesterday, Lu Aiqing made a meritorious contribution to the rescue, and at the same time, I am grateful to Aiqing for guarding the frontier in the past, fighting against foreign races, and making great contributions to my Han Dynasty, which is really indispensable!"

"Special order, from today onwards, Lu Aiqing will be appointed as the prime minister, under me alone, with the right to supervise hundreds of officials, and at the same time command all the soldiers and horses in the world, in case of trouble, you can cut it first and then play!"

"Chin this~"

A young eunuch on the side, seeing that Liu was finished, hurriedly shouted at the top of his voice.

"Minister, Lu Ziyi, thank you Your Majesty Longen!"

Then, Lu Qi took a step forward indifferently and bowed slightly.

"Okay, everything I want to say about this court meeting is over, do you still have a piece of music to present? If not, then retreat on your own~"

After that, Liu Wei didn't wait for the hundred officials to respond, and directly let the little eunuch on the side support him and quickly left towards the apse.

“......”

Only the civil and military officials of His Royal Highness were left, all bowing their heads and saying nothing.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the court meeting is over, let's go back and rest~"

After Lu Qi glanced at the officials in the hall with some amusement, he stepped towards the outside of the hall.

After a while, Lu Qi's figure had disappeared, and the hundred officials in the hall dared to get up.

"Whew..."

Yuan Kui breathed a sigh of relief in shock...

"Lord Yuan, this..."

Wang Yun seemed to want to say something, but was immediately stopped by Yuan Kui with his eyes.

"Ugh..."

As if thinking of something, Wang Yun also gave up, and turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall alone.

......

"Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord, the general trend has been achieved at this time, and there is no one who can compete with you in the future."

Pingyang Hou Mansion, no, it should be the Prime Minister's Mansion, Guo Jia is congratulating Lu Qi.

"Fengxiao, don't make fun of me, how did you do what you did?"

However, Lu Qi didn't take the so-called reward seriously at all, but talked to Guo Jia about the matter.

"Lord, your plan can be described as the gospel of the children of the poor family!"

Guo Jia also restrained his smile when he heard this, but he still saluted respectfully towards Lu Qi, and then said:

"According to the paper-making technique issued by your lord, your subordinates have ordered people to hurry up to make thousands of copies last night, the quality of the paper is indeed good, and the required materials are also collected in large quantities, all of which are some common things, and mass production will be launched in a few days!"

"As for Cai Gong, his subordinates have already sent a thousand cavalry, and they will rush towards Youzhou on horseback, and in a few days at most, they can welcome Cai Gong's family back to Luoyang."

"But then again, are you sure that the imperial examination system will be accepted by Gong Cai?"

Lu Qi smiled and replied:

"Why won't you accept it?"

"Originally, the selection of officials was mainly based on filial piety and honesty, but it was still unfair."

"Officials blindly pay attention to conduct, but not talent, so what is the difference between officials and officials?"

"What you are worried about is nothing more than the imperial examination system, which will damage the interests of those families."

"However, Brother Bo is not such a person, based on my contact and communication with him, he actually hopes to see the emergence of a prosperous era in the literary world."

"At this time, I produce paper in large quantities, but the price is reduced to the lowest, and all the children of the poor in the world have books to read and articles to read, so what's wrong with that?"

"Moreover, for me, none of this matters much, as long as anyone dares to come forward to stop him, then he is a sinner through the ages!"

"I will not be merciful to sinners through the ages."

Lu Qi, who came from the 22nd century, knew how troublesome it would be to implement some later policies in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Originally, a piece of paper may weigh as much as a thousand gold, but after Lu Qi sells the paper developed by papermaking technology all over the world, paper may become the cheapest item.

Then those businessmen who make a living by selling paper, or those who hold ancient books and have never passed them on, will regard Lu Qi as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh!

But all the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods, in the face of force, will turn into ashes.

Lu Qi's current idea is very simple, that is, through the hand of Liu Wei, he will announce the decree and slowly introduce some things from later generations into the entire Han Dynasty, in order to transform the entire society, of course, all these things must be attached to Lu Qi's name.

Otherwise, it will become a wedding dress for Liu Wei.

"Like what kind of medicine, construction, seeds and food, I prepared a lot of them in the 'Dandan' earlier, and the body of the 'Soul Devourer' almost has a world's material reserves, if this is the case, I can't build this big man, and then let the people of the world take the initiative to let Liu Wei abdicate and make way for Xian, then I can also write the word Lu Qi backwards!"

Lu Qi looked at the door of the hall and smiled in his heart.

......

"Stop!"

In front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a short and fat figure was stopped by two bloody guards.

"Go and inform your master, and say that my former friend has come to pay a visit, and if you don't allow it, I will leave immediately."

The one who came was Cao Cao, who was now promoted to the captain of the Xiyuan Dian Military Academy, and he had time to come before he had time to come today.

He saw everything that happened in Luoyang in the past two days, and he didn't say anything, even Xun Yu and Yuan Shao looked for him, but he didn't see each other, all these actions were to see if his former friend Lu Ziyi was still the big man Zhongliang.

"Mengde, come in."

I didn't think that before the guards went to the courtyard to report, Lu Qi's voice had already reached here.

"Your Excellency, please come in."

Hearing this, the two guards also immediately turned sideways and let Cao Cao pass.

On the other hand, Cao Cao's face was flat and silent, he just went forward on his own, and when he arrived in the courtyard, he saw Lu Qizheng and Guo Jia, smiling and drinking tea, looking at himself.

"Xiaguan Cao Cao, I've seen the Prime Minister!"

Cao Cao walked to Lu Qi's side, but he bowed down and made a big salute!

"Fat Cao, don't give me sloppy eyes, ask if you want to ask, say what you want, and talk about nothing."

When Lu Qi saw this scene, he knew that Cao Cao had emotions in his heart, so he laughed and scolded.

"Haha, it seems that Ziyi still recognizes me as a brother."

Cao Cao suddenly heard Lu Qi's laughter and scolding, not annoyed but happy, his face highlighted a trace of joy, he sat on the empty seat by himself, poured himself a cup of tea, and after drinking, he said to Lu Qi with a serious face:

"Ziyi should know why I came this time, and ask Ziyi to give an answer."

"The answer? Mengde, isn't the answer always in your heart? ”

"Let me ask you, in the two years since the Yellow Turban cholera subsided, has the lives of the people changed? Let me ask you again, after the cholera in the north is over, can the people live in peace and contentment? ”

Lu Qi held the teacup in his hand and looked at Cao Cao Yan with burning eyes.

“...”

However, in the face of Lu Qi's two inquiries, Cao Cao was silent.

It's just because he knows that there are some things that he can't stop at all...

"Meng De, you are a citizen of the Han family, not a citizen of the Liu family!"

"If you travel dozens of miles to Luoyang, you can see civilians starving to death on the streets everywhere, or selling children and daughters because there is not much food at home, is it true that the imperial court can't control it?!"

"If you really can't manage it, then I, Lu Qi, will take care of it!"

"Why should he let tens of thousands of innocent people bear the disaster created by Liu Hong?!"

"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road!"

"What he didn't dare to do in the past, let me Lu Qi do it today!"

"You should know that if I really covet power, I'm afraid that the person sitting on the imperial chair now is not surnamed Liu!"

A word that can almost be said to be a great rebellion in this era, spit out from Lu Qi's mouth, but in Cao Cao's opinion, it is so natural...

Because, he knew that when Lu Qi was assigned to the frontier by Emperor Han Ling, then Luoyang would inevitably have such a day!

It's just that some things are a little different from what he thinks.

"Fengxiao, show him those plans."

Seeing that Cao Cao seemed to be shocked by his own words, and was speechless for a long time, Lu Qi said to Guo Jiayan on the side.

"Brother Mengde, please take a look."

When Guo Jia heard this, he directly delivered some of the plans that had been made in his hands directly to Cao Cao.

"This..."

Cao Cao was shocked when he first saw these white papers, but after seeing the contents of the papers, it was like a blow to the head, buzzing his heart!

"The imperial examination system is not only for the children of poor families, but also for the whole world to read!"

"Papermaking, every word will be history!"

"Potatoes and sweet potatoes are the livelihood of the people!"

"Ziyi, are these things really true?!"

After Cao Cao finished reading some of the things recorded on the paper in his hand, he stared at Lu Qi with an excited expression and asked.

"Naturally, it is true that the finished product of papermaking is the paper in your hand."

"As for the imperial examination system, when I go to court tomorrow, I will play Your Majesty."

"As for potatoes and sweet potatoes, I have already found someone to start cultivating and planting, and it only takes about two months to mature, and a harvest of at least 6,000 or even 10,000 catties per acre."

Lu Qi actually didn't say one thing, that is, in Youzhou, he had already built a potato and sweet potato breeding base, and it has been stored until now, in addition to the daily rations of the army, there are at least ten million catties of reserves.

But what he has to do now is to plant successfully in Luoyang, and then do it vigorously in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, so that it can be effective.

To tell the truth, in the Han Dynasty, in fact, the most important thing was land, if it weren't for the fact that there was nothing to grow during this period, I was afraid of the so-called famine, and it would no longer exist.

"Ziyi! Please give me the next chance to make a difference! ”

After getting Lu Qi's accurate reply, Cao Cao got up and knelt down on one knee towards Lu Qi.

"You kid, if you want to be famous in history, just say it, I don't want to give you this opportunity, when Brother Bo comes back from Youzhou, you can help him."

Lu Qi joked with a smile on his face.

"Hey, hey..."

"Ziyi still knows my mind..."

When Cao Cao saw Lu Qi agree, he smiled a little shyly.

"I'm lost, don't smile at me, it's too obscene!"

Seeing Cao Cao smiling like a chrysanthemum, Lu Qi instantly expressed his disgust.

"By the way, Ziyi, do you still need a helper?"

As if remembering something, Cao Cao asked again.

"Helper? If you can persuade Xun Yu well, then he can get involved, as for Yuan Benchu, forget it. ”

Lu Qi shook his head and said.

"Okay! Ziyi is willing to share an extra place, he is already glad for his brother, and he doesn't dare to be greedy anymore. ”

Although I don't know why Lu Qi is a little resistant to contact Yuan Shao now, Cao Cao is afraid that Lu Qi will refuse the next moment, so he hurriedly responded.

"Since that's the case, then I'll say goodbye to my brother first, and Ziyi doesn't have to send him off."

The so-called profitable, full of energy, Cao Cao suddenly felt that the tea in his hand was not fragrant, and he turned around and went out of the house.

Looking at this appearance, it is estimated that he is going to find that Xun Yu.

Regarding this, Lu Qi didn't open his mouth to stop him, but just whispered: "Xun Wenruo, who has been loyal to Han all his life, will really change his opinion of me because of these things?" ”

"Lord, then you can look away, this Xun Wenruo was also a person from my Yingchuan Academy at the beginning, although this person is a little stupid and loyal, but he also knows how to be flexible, otherwise, he would not have allowed things to develop in the DPRK and China until now, and he still hasn't shown up."

"As long as this Cao Mengde really conveys what the lord said to him, his subordinates guess that within half a day, he will definitely come!"

After Guo Jia heard Lu Qi's muttering, he said with a smile.

......

ps: For Cao Cao, to be honest, in the entire Three Kingdoms, I really like him.

In his youth, Cao Cao was indeed a good minister loyal to the Han Dynasty, and he also had his own unique views on politics.

As for Xun Wenruo, although this character was stabbed to death by Cao Cao in the late period, it seems to be a bit foolish, but to be honest, when there is a great good thing in front of him that can benefit the future world for thousands of years, no one wants to leave his name in the past, especially those literati who value reputation more than reputation.
