The person who came was an old man, who looked like he was only a sixtieth year, but those who knew him well knew that this person was already an old man.

This person's name is Lu Yun, and he has gone through three dynasties when he was in the Northern Hebei Kingdom.

The Lu family is a literary family that has been inherited for more than 300 years, and its children are erudite and talented, but the Lu family's heirs are scarce, which has led to the decline of the Lu family now.

But even so, Lu Yun's influence among the people in the DPRK and China should not be underestimated.

At the beginning of Li Qitian's practice, he also regarded Lu Yun as a benchmark for the cultural inheritance of the Northern Hebei Kingdom, and as an attitude, he personally visited the Lu family with the body of the Son of Heaven and had a long talk with Lu Yun, which has been passed down as a good story since then.

With such a background, Lu Yun is naturally friendly with the Lumen family, and like the Lumen family, he has a very important voice in the old ministers of the Northern Hebei Kingdom.

Since Lu Heng's grandfather entered the cabinet, Lu Yun has been closer to the Lu family, as if he was the head of the Lu family, and he was attached to the Lu family.

Now that the head of the Lu family has been replaced by Lu Heng, the relationship between Lu Yun and the Lu family is still very close.

It was this elder who everyone knew to be a member of the Lumen family and had a transcendent status who appeared in Prince Zhongshun's house, which simply shocked Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining.

"Lu Gong's personal visit must be inseparable from the affairs of the Lu family." Qin Yining said worriedly, "It's inconvenient for me to be there, you go out to see it, if there is anything urgent, order someone to come and tell me quietly, and I can prepare in advance." ”

Xiao Xiao smiled and pinched Qin Yining's face, "There is no need to be so nervous, Lu Gong's temperament is diluted, he never cares about the fame and fortune of officialdom, he refuses to be an official with such a high prestige, he comes, and what he is talking about may not be the affairs of officialdom, I think there will be other things in the future." ”

"It's because you can't guess his purpose that makes people worry."

Qin Yining accompanied Xiao Xiao to leave the main room of the inner house, stood under the porch and watched Xiao Xiao's back gradually come out of sight, only then did he sigh with some concern, and turned around and called Jiyun: "You go and inquire quietly, and tell me immediately if you have something." ”

"The slave knows." Jiyun was looking down and walked out quickly.

The owl came to the front hall for entertaining guests, and before entering the door, he straightened his clothes before entering the door, and then entered the door with a smile on his face.

"Duke Lu came from afar, and he missed the welcome, and this king is ashamed and ashamed." He bowed his hand.

Lu Yun returned the salute with a smile, and behaved chicly, quite literati and elegant, "Prince Zhongshun doesn't have to be like this, it's the old man who bothers him." ”

"Where, such a distinguished guest as you, this king can't ask for it. Please take a seat. He smiled and made a gesture of please.

Lu Yun immediately waved his hand, "The old man has a white body, where can he hold it up, and invite the prince to take a seat." ”

The two of them made a humble conciliation, and Lu Yun finally sat in the second place.

The man served a good tea, and asked with a smile: "Duke Lu is here, but what are your orders?" ”

As if he didn't expect Xiao Xiao to ask directly, Lu Yun was stunned for a moment, then stroked his long beard and said with a smile, "The prince is really a cheerful person." In this case, the old decay is straight to the point. ”

"Tell me."

Lu Yun looked left and right, and then said in a low voice: "The old man came here today, but he actually asked for the prince's help. ”

"Oh?" Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows, looking very puzzled.

In fact, he was really puzzled, Lu Yun was a faction of the Lu family, but he came to him for something, and Xiao Xiao suspected that this was a trap.

Lu Yun seemed to know what Xiao Xiao was thinking, smiled faintly, and said: "Actually, what the old man is asking for, with the prince's ears and eyes, there should be some guesses. The prince should know that there is a problem with the stone and wood used to build the imperial tomb, right? ”

Xiao Xiao smiled and bowed his head: "This king has heard of it. ”

"The prince is recuperating from his injuries in Danfu County, and Xu knows about the affairs of the court and the middle of the court later. The granite used by the Holy Lord to build the Imperial Mausoleum, Zhongyi Bo is looking for a source of goods to buy it, and the timber used to repair the Imperial Mausoleum, there is a person who does not know anything, and he actually proposes that the Holy Lord choose the wood from the abandoned warships of the previous dynasty! ”

Speaking of this, Lu Yun's indifferent and elegant image disappeared, the birthday star's eyebrows were twisted together, and his beard trembled.

"During the Northern Ji Kingdom, there were several naval battles, and when the dynasty was strong, the sailors subdued Goguryeo and the Wa Kingdom. Later, the Northern Hebei gradually declined, the treasury was empty, and it could not meet the expenses of the army all year round. Hundreds of warships of all sizes, large and small, were also completely abandoned.

"This time, the construction of the imperial tomb coincided with a shortage of wood, and someone actually proposed that the saint dismantle the warships left behind in the previous dynasty! The timber on the warship has not rotted in the sea for more than 100 years, and it is extremely strong, which shows the good timber. When the Holy One heard what was said, he agreed. ”

Lu Yun was panting, his face was full of anger, and he squeezed out a sentence for a long time: "It's just ignorant!" ”

Since Lu Yun was willing to speak out, he didn't hide it, and asked directly: "The person who made the suggestion should have a lot to do with Zhongyibo." ”

Lu Yun bowed his head, "Prince Zhongshun is really transparent." ”

Xiao Xiao smiled: "With the relationship between Duke Lu and Uncle Zhongyi, if the person who raised this matter is not a person from Uncle Zhongyi, Duke Lu can discuss with Uncle Zhongyi, and he will not find this king." ”

And the shady scene in this is also very obvious.

Li Qitian did not hesitate to pay any price in order to repair the emperor's mausoleum. In addition, now the north and south are peaceful, although there are natural disasters, but the natural disasters will pass sooner or later, the country is still stable, and the four seas are peaceful. Li Qitian, who won the battle, must be full of confidence, even the Tatars have bowed their heads, and the Khan took people to the capital to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother and offer tribute, Li Qitian's eyes, such as Goguryeo and the Wa Kingdom, are no longer worth mentioning.

Therefore, he felt that it didn't matter whether the warship was left or not, and he thought that he still had to repair the imperial tomb as soon as possible.

Li Qitian may have just casually ordered, "If you want to use warships, you can use as many warships as you want." ”

However, with such a good timber in front of them, there must have been many officials of the Lu faction who saw benefits from it.

Ten ships were dismantled and hundreds of ships were dismantled, and a sentence to the saint was used in the imperial tomb at will. Can the Holy One still go and check?

Whose pockets will the benefits of this go into?

Lu Heng didn't think he could look down on these silver coins, and his eyes were fixed on the treasures.

But as a superior, when his subordinates have a way to make profits, it is common for Lu Heng to let his subordinates get some oil and water. Besides, this oil and water is not his.

Therefore, Xiao Xiao understands Lu Yun's feelings very well now.

This elder understood the importance of warships to the coastal defense of the Great Zhou, and he didn't want the sailors to disappear completely, and he couldn't ask Lu Heng for that, so he came to find him.

Lu Yun sighed and said: "It's not a secret, these warships, regardless of how much effort they made when they were in the Northern Hebei Kingdom, even the shipbuilding craftsmanship is about to be lost." If in the future, when the Great Zhou wants to consolidate the coastal defense, but cannot find a complete warship, and the people can't find the shipbuilders who are still alive, what should we do then? It's so stupid! ”

Xiao Xiao smiled, "The king understands the meaning of Duke Lu. Just look at this king now. "Spread your hands, "Now that this king will be raised here, I don't know when I will be able to continue to do errands for the saint, and this king is afraid that there is nothing he can do about it." ”
