Chapter 1003: Feng Cheng is dead
Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian's family didn't have time to go back before they entered the palace to face the saint, mainly to report their work, and then ask about the situation on the other side of the border.
Not only them, but the emperor was also burning to see them at this time, and there were reports of war on the border every day in the past few days, and all they brought back was bad news every day.
"The Emperor's ......"
When they met, Lu Baichuan was interrupted just as he was about to salute, and the emperor beckoned to them and motioned to come forward to speak.
"Put other things aside, even if there is any problem, I can solve it, the situation on the border side is not optimistic, you have a good rest today, and you will set off tomorrow with the troops."
The emperor also had no choice, and then said: "Feng Chengzhan is dead, he will cause a big disaster regardless of dissuasion, and it will naturally cause disaster to his descendants, I will arrange it, and I will also correct your name, but you two really can't delay it any longer, it will take a long time to go to the border, I am worried about many accidents." ”
Feng Cheng regarded himself as high-minded, and sent troops without authorization despite King Jing's prevention many times, causing heavy casualties among the soldiers.
This is a major mistake on the battlefield, killing so many soldiers, so even if he dies, his family will be implicated.
As for his younger brother Feng Gong, he had a previous collusion with An Anbo, and the evidence is conclusive, and he has been cut.
The reason why the emperor did things so neatly was to save Lu Baichuan and them more time to support, as for who in the court dared to say more, he sent someone to check the details, as long as he caught the stain, he went to raid the house, which was convenient and neat, and it was much more comfortable than making noise in the court every day before.
Deal with these annoying-stirring sticks, and the emperor sleeps better than before.
Lu Baichuan was a little surprised: "Your Majesty, then your reputation ......"
Having cut down so many people in such a short period of time, the people must not pass him on as a tyrant?
"It's okay, I've prepared in advance, and now my reputation is so good!"
The emperor smiled very happily, and copied out a lot of treasures from his family, and the empty treasury was filled in an instant, and naturally he also had a strong confidence to confront the Eastern Court.
"At this time, there is a shortage of people in the court, and the imperial examination will be held next month, and the examination will be taken a few more times, and more young people will be recruited, so that the atmosphere in the court can be better."
In just a few days, the emperor has figured out a lot of things, he was always worried about reputation and the harmony of the court, he was able to sit in this position mainly for the people, and he should not fight with these courtiers, so even if he was so angry that he couldn't eat, he still chose to endure.
But after listening to Jiang Jiuniang say that his body was very damaged, he suddenly didn't want to be so used to those people, he still had his wife and children to protect, and this country to protect, how could he be ruined by a few-stirring sticks to ruin his plans and dreams?
Lu Baichuan was very relieved when he heard him say this, the emperor always took too much care of him before, and he always couldn't use his fists and feet, but after this time, he shouldn't be as restrained as before.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, let's go back and prepare, and we'll leave tomorrow."
Lu Baichuan gave up, he was tired after traveling for so long, and now he has to sleep when he goes back.
The emperor nodded, and said: "This time I will work hard for you, it just so happens that there is a vacancy in the court, and you can let your eldest brother and second brother come to the court to help with things." ”
This is also something he had considered before, this time Lu Baichuan will not be rewarded for his meritorious service, just directly favor his eldest brother and second brother.
When Lu Baichuan heard this, he immediately knelt down, the emperor thought he was going to thank him, but he didn't expect him to refuse: "Thank you for the emperor's love, it's just that the eldest brother and second brother of the minister haven't read any books seriously, and they can't be qualified for important positions in the court. ”
"Isn't it good to hold an important official position? In this way, your Lu family can also quickly gain a foothold in the national capital. ”
The emperor is convinced of his personality, so he really wants to promote his family, not to mention that the queen's birth is so dangerous this time, and it was Jiang Jiuniang who saved the queen's life, and Enyin's two official positions are really nothing.
Lu Baichuan still shook his head: "It is naturally a good thing to hold an important official position, but the higher the official position, the greater the responsibility that needs to be borne, the eldest brother and the second brother of the minister are not capable enough, and sitting in a high position will only be troubled by it, so it is better to leave the position to the right person." ”
Boss Lu and Elder Lu have just come to the national capital, and they are still investigating the situation in this national capital recently, and they have not yet begun to formally learn the way of being an official, how can they directly become high-ranking officials?
What does this make those poor children who have worked hard to get into the exam think?
Although the emperor does have good intentions, it is too eye-catching and too hateful for the family, so it is better to keep a low profile and take your time
When the emperor heard this, he could understand his worries, so he said: "That's okay, then arrange a small errand for them in any yamen in the national capital, and take your time." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Lu Baichuan was relieved and wanted to retire.
"Bai Chuan, Qin Jian, you must return safely!"
The emperor patted them on the shoulder with some reluctance, and had a thousand words to explain, but only said this.
In private, he did not call them Aiqing like others, but called them by their first names, not estranged, on the contrary, he treated them as brothers.
I can have today, and I can't do without their help.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, we will."
Naturally, they had to return safely, after all, their families were in the national capital, and no one was willing to leave their lives on that bleak border.
After saying goodbye to the emperor, the two were ready to leave the palace, Qin Jian hadn't seen his daughter-in-law for a few days, and had already burned back, but Lu Baichuan was waiting for Jiang Jiuniang at the gate of the palace and went home with her.
Jiang Jiuniang quietly entered the palace, fulfilled her previous lie, and helped the queen check the wound, and there was no problem, so she could leave the palace.
When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he saw that Lu Baichuan was still waiting for her, and beckoned him to get in the car and go home together.
"Daughter-in-law."
As soon as he got in the car, Lu Baichuan reluctantly hugged Jiang Jiuniang, looking a little tired, but he was reluctant to sleep.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Jiuniang was a little strange, she was fine when she entered the palace, and that's it now, could it be that something happened again?
"Feng Cheng is dead, the border war is tight, and the emperor asked me and Qin Jian to lead the troops to set off tomorrow."
He said and sighed, although he had been prepared, he didn't expect it to be so sudden.
Jiang Jiuniang also felt that she was too anxious, but the war did not wait for anyone, and she just said: "Then rest well tonight, take care of your spirits, I will prepare more things for you to bring, and I can help when the time comes." ”
She only said to help him prepare things, but she didn't say that she wanted to go with him, but Lu Baichuan was still relieved.
Although she has outstanding ability, he is reluctant to let her suffer that kind of hardship, as long as he is happy at home and waits for him to come back.
