Chapter 307: Difficulty
Lu Yan, the Duke of Wu, was received by the new emperor, who personally gave them clothes and food, and the monarch and the ministers wept together with the emperor.
Three days later, Lu Yan and his wife left the capital.
"Since he is so pure and filial, I want to allow him to guard the tomb for his father." The Emperor said.
Princess Huairou, who came to visit the Queen Mother, was startled when she heard this.
"That's not going to happen." She said busily.
The battle between Lu Yan and the Tartars completely shocked the Tartars, and the previous paragraph submitted the letter of state, and then it was settled, and the heroes who guarded the border were unarmed, not to mention that this Lu Yan was the first emperor's favorite general, and the first emperor's new funeral treated him like this, but I was afraid that it would be difficult to explain inside and outside.
The emperor apparently knew this as well.
"It's just talking, let's see if he dares to do this." He waved his hand and said, sit down.
Princess Huairou smiled and poured him tea herself.
"Even if he dares, the imperial brother can't condone him." She laughed, pausing slightly, "At least not yet." β
The Emperor smiled, laughed for a moment, and then lowered his face.
"I hope he knows how to advance and retreat." He said in a deep voice, "I'll leave him to see." β
Here Liu Meibao and Lu Yan went out of Beijing, compared to the past when countless people rushed to see each other off, it seemed much deserted at this time, and the people who came to send each other were just a few old friends.
"Taoguang is obscure, Taoguang is obscure." Master Sun said in a low voice.
Lu Yan smiled indifferently, thanked Master Sun, and got into the car with Liu Meibao and went away under the escort of the guards.
A year later, Sun Daren's position was adjusted, and at the same time, there were officials such as the governor of Shanxi, and the new officials took office three fires, and as ministers entrusted by the emperor, the governor of Shanxi and others decided to make some political achievements.
"It's too much!" Several scribes slammed the documents on the table, "This general judgment actually asked us to raise money and grain in Tuntian by ourselves, and the emperor allocated 100,000 people in Shanxi as military households, but he said that he would give money and grain..."
"What did it mean to say before!" Someone shook their heads.
These words made everyone dull for a moment.
What they want to do in Shanxi before, as long as Lu Yan opens his mouth, it will be extremely smooth up and down. Those who violate the rules and exceed the system also turn a blind eye, and with the replacement of old people with new people, their lives are becoming more and more difficult, and they have begun to encounter various stumbles when doing something.
Now Lu Yan's military households are at least hundreds of thousands, and it is not easy to feed these people. That is, the court has no money.
"So what are you going to do?" Liu Meibao asked, helping Lu Yan take off his coat.
Lu Yan reached out and picked up the little son who was holding his legs, threw him a few highs, and sprinkled the laughter of children in the room.
"Go, play with my brother and sister." Liu Meibao smiled and took her son from his hand and handed it to the wet nurse.
The wet nurse withdrew with the child, leaving the couple to continue talking.
"It's nothing, then raise your own money." Lu Yan said casually.
"How? Where? There's no bandits waiting for you to kill them now. Liu Meibao smiled, with a little sorrow between her eyebrows, and helped Lu Yan untie her hair and comb her hair.
This is the way she proposes a regimen. thinks that Lu Yan's daily work needs to be smooth. Lu Yan was naturally happy to serve her.
"It's all gray hair." Liu Meibao said with a sigh while looking at the two gray hairs that were easy to pick out.
"It's okay, don't worry, it's a way to get money." Lu Yan said with a smile.
"Aggrieved?" Liu Meibao asked him with a smile again, with a little urgency.
"How can everything go well in life." Lu Yan said with plastic surgery.
Liu Meibao laughed and bowed down to kiss his face.
"Sure enough, it's different to be the grandfather of the country, how do you say that word. Hold on to it. She laughed.
Lu Yan also smiled, and easily turned her over and pressed her under him.
"Let's see if it's heavy." He laughed.
A few days later, the news broke. The general barracks began to sell the seized goods that had been accumulated over the years, cattle, horses, sheep, iron, silk and other messy items, most of these things were scavenged by the Tartars from the Han people, and some were Tartars, such as horses, these horses were fierce and fierce, and they had always been undesirable for the army, but I didn't expect Lu Yan to be willing to sell them, which attracted countless traders for a while.
"If you really didn't leave any of it, all of it was used for Tuntian?" When the news reached the ears of the governor of Shanxi, he was greatly surprised.
As the saying goes, thousands of miles for officials are only for money, this Lu Yan is really a wonderful, he does not embezzle soldiers' salaries, and he has never falsely reported the number of people and received empty salaries.
"My lord, if it goes on like this, we people in Shanxi are afraid that they will all join the military." The other officials sitting in the room said hurriedly, "Now that the people in the territory only know that there is Lu Yan, the Duke of Wu, and they don't know that there are adults..... that is, they don't know that there is a court." β
These words are serious, and the governor has changed color.
"Don't talk nonsense." He hurriedly reprimanded, "Shanxi Road belongs to the imperial court, but it is not the official's, nor is it a certain person, the official came by the emperor's order to stabilize the rule, and you must not talk nonsense." β
Officials hurriedly stood up to admit their mistakes and show their loyalty to the country.
"You are diligent and diligent, and the official will naturally know." The governor nodded and said softly, looking at the respectful and careful people in front of him, he felt very comfortable, "Come, send Lu Yan to see this official." β
When Lu Yan walked out of the governor's yamen, it was almost noon, and the guards waiting at the door were already full of anxiety.
"Let's go, let's go, let's go back to camp." Lu Yan didn't have any expression, took the reins and got on the horse.
"What kind of bird thing is this, how can you go back more and more?" When they saw Zhang Shun and others who came to visit him at the Yamen of the General Military Mansion, everyone was furious when they learned that Lu Yan had gone to the Governor's Yamen to be trained again.
Since the successive changes of civil officials on the Shanxi side, the tradition of noble and lowly military officials has once again occupied the peak in Shanxi, and these military attachΓ©s, when they see civil officials who are several levels lower than themselves, they must also get off the horse and be respectful, pay attention to rules and regulations, and contain them everywhere, even although Lu Yan was named the grandfather of the country, he was still picked by the governor from time to time and gave some ugliness.
Lu Yan didn't speak, just drank tea indifferently.
At this time, someone came to report that the governor sent someone to call Lu Yan, saying that the new general sentence had arrived and he wanted to wash the dust and catch the wind for him.
Zhang Shunqi was about to faint.
"Our lord just came out of your governor's mansion, why didn't you say it at that time?" He asked.
The person who came was a scribe, and he rolled his eyes and looked at Zhang Shun.
"How can we ask about adults? Let it be how it is. He said in a weird way.
Zhang Shun was about to say something, but Lu Yan interrupted.
"I'm sorry for you to go back and tell me, I have official business, so I won't go. Tomorrow, I will personally set up a banquet to wash the dust for the general judge. He said lightly.
Before he could finish his words, the scribe sneered.
"Your Excellency, let's go and tell the Governor in person." He said in a weird manner, "Grandpa Guo is so busy, the position of this chief soldier is still shared by someone..."
Since last month, the faint imperial court seems to have the intention of moving him to the position of Lu Yan's chief soldier.
You can bow your head, you can be wronged, you can bow your head and be small, you can be harsh at will, but some things are Lu Yan's backlash.
Lu Yan's face was slightly gloomy.
"Hit." He spat out a word.
The scribe was still talking, when suddenly the wind sounded in his ears, and then a big fist rushed straight into his face.
Zhang Shun's fist, how could he dodge a small scribe.
The scribe fell out. With blood on his face, he looked at the people in the room in front of him in horror.
"It's the other way around! It's the other way around! He shouted hoarsely with leaky teeth, holding his nose, which seemed to have a broken bridge, with one hand and moving it outward.
"What are you?" Lu Yan sat upright, looked at the frightened scribe and said slowly, "Dare to make up and slander Grandpa Ben, what if Grandpa Ben just beats you to death?" β
The scribe's scolding suddenly swallowed, and he only looked at the man in front of him and the attendants with terrifying expressions in horror.
The scribe was thrown in while the governor was in the middle of the feast, and the prostitutes screaming and running away from the banquet were frightened.
"Lord Qiyu. My grandfather said that this person was talking nonsense and slandering, and it seemed that he had the intention of provoking trouble with the hidden evil intentions of Shanxi. Grandpa Guo has ordered to check his comrades to see if it is a Tartar work, and ask the adults to see it. The attendant of the Guogong Mansion said loudly.
The Governor had already recognized that the half-dead man crawling on the ground was a scribe he had sent, and he knew what was going on in an instant, and he trembled with anger.
"Nonsense! Monkey business! What a mess, who provoked the incident, is it trying to plot...", he exclaimed.
His words did not fall. was interrupted by the footsteps of the outside brush.
"According to the general military order, check the details, if there is resistance. There is no mercy for killing. β
Shouts rang out one after another outside, accompanied by the faint sound of footsteps that made the ground tremble, and immediately silenced the halls, and everyone looked terrified.
They suddenly remembered one thing, something that had been buried for a long time with time, that once the big merchants in Hedong united to give someone a dismount, and then the result was......
Since he took office, Lu Yan has been respectful and polite, and even a little submissive, making him feel that this military general is actually nothing more than that, he was so arrogant at the beginning, in the end, he relied on the favor of the previous emperor, and now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, a generation of new people will definitely replace the old people, and he also understands in his heart that he has no confidence, plus there is no more war on the border, and those who have been powerful on the battlefield are brave and brave, for him, the governor, they are just a verbal past.
But in fact, Lu Yan is still Lu Yan, and Hades is still Hades.
"My lord, since Lu Yan said that he was careful to investigate, he must have a sure arrangement, and he must not come by force, otherwise..."A staff member whispered in his ear, and his voice trembled almost speechlessly.
If you inquire, those big families in Hedong must still remember this bloody lesson......
The Governor swallowed with a thump in his throat.
That's right, the new emperor doesn't like Lu Yan, but so what, that's the matter between the emperor and Lu Yan, if you don't try your best to please the emperor, you may have a damaged future, but if you annoy Lu Yan, this king of Hades who dares to do anything really dares to take his own life, even if the emperor makes his own decisions afterwards, what is the use, his life is gone, but there is nothing.
In this world, who is afraid of whom!
