Liu Yu did not understand guns, but only roughly knew the principle of muskets. He drew a sketch of the rifle, but it was difficult to outline some details. Liu Yu himself couldn't understand it, and Wu You next to him was even more confused. Liu Yu first handed the drawings to Wu You and said, "Ming** will call the craftsmen from the Ministry of Works to discuss them together."

Wu You frowned and looked at Liu Yu's drawings for a long time. Although he still couldn't figure it out, he had seen Liu Yu's ability before and did not doubt the feasibility of the invention of weapons on the drawings.

He brought the guards out and felt like he was full of vigor when he walked out. Liu Yu was afraid that it would be inconvenient to leave the palace gate. Liu Yu called Lian Husheng and gave a command, asking each guard to prepare ordinary people's clothes and change them when leaving the palace.

Liu Yu was about to go home when he heard someone calling from a distance. Looking over, Su Yan waved his hand and shouted "Master" while running over, and panting after standing still.

"Master...Master, my father has set a marriage date for Xiaoyu and me." Su Yan gasped excitedly and continued, "Just ten days later, on the fourth day of the August 1st, the fourth day of the eighth month. My father is ill and cannot attend. I specially asked you to take charge of the marriage."

It is also an honor for the court officials to be the king and marry the princess. Liu Yu smiled and patted Su Yan on the shoulder and said, "Congratulations, boy, you will be a family and career in the future. Let's calm down and don't always think about how to play. Then your master's wife and I will definitely go."

Liu Yu suddenly remembered that Wang Hu's marriage was also at the beginning of next month, one was the fourth day of the lunar month and the fifth day of the lunar month, and the other was happy and the other was sad.

The master and apprentice walked to Dongye's door together, chatting all the way, talking about today's discussion.

Su Yan said: "After returning to Chang'an City, I found that the new prime minister had a lot of things, and he was just as good as my fourth emperor sister. He just opened his mouth and was not idle. He heard him talk to him all the time. My fourth emperor sister had a few arguments with him, and it was quite unpleasant. He also taught me a lesson and said that I was not taught by my child. He was right, but I didn't argue with him. This person is quite annoying."

Liu Yu knew that he was talking about the new right prime minister Yuan Bolang, the old minister who was famous, honest and loyal to the emperor.

"What are you talking about today?"

"Today we are discussing two memorials, one is the disaster relief in Guanzhong. Some places have severe droughts and the transferred food is being distributed. Also, the Nanyang sweets are almost finished planting, and it is said that they can be harvested before winter."

Liu Yu said "Oh" and thought about it. The drought in Guanzhong has not yet been alleviated. Although Guanzhong's water conservancy is still developed, it cannot resist such a big struggle. The smooth planting of Nanyang Gan does not mean that there will be a good harvest. Liu Yu has never seen Qi Fang after returning to Chang'an. He expected that the emperor sent him to protect Tang Cai and Gan Mao's uncle and nephew.

"There is another thing about the handling of people who had bad intentions in the court yesterday. Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice was also there. He seemed to say that he should be dealt with lighterly. According to the last case of the Third Emperor's Brother, Yuan did not think so. He believed that he should be dealt with more severely to serve as a warning. The two sides were fighting fiercely. Seeing that they were quarreling hard, I watched for a while without interrupting." Su Yan looked at Liu Yu and said, "Master, I always thought the affairs of the court were very mysterious before. They did big things and their methods of doing things were not ordinary. Now it seems that they are no different from ordinary people. They can't say anything, and they even scolded them. Today, Wang Shangshu and an official from Dali Temple named Lin almost started to fight."

Liu Yu smiled and said, "It's all about one nose and one mouth, and everything is done by people and things, so there's nothing to make a fuss. If you learn more there, it will be good for you to deal with people in the future."

Su Yan was convinced by Liu Yu's words and nodded with a smile. His face was filled with the joy of getting married.

When they arrived at the door of Dongye, Lu Chu'er and other female guards were already waiting. Seeing that there were still a group of people following Liu Yu, Lu Chu'er immediately straightened her waist and deliberately showed the majesty of the female army. But seeing that all the people entered the room next to the Imperial Army Office and changed into ordinary clothes, Lu Chu'er scratched her head and couldn't understand it. At this time, Liu Yu and Su Yan had already walked out.

"Go home." Liu Yu said to the stunned Lu Chu'er. Lu Chu'er was still looking at the guards in the door, with a hint of repulsion and hostility.

Back at the mansion, Xu Xuanzhu and Sui Yu were discussing the banquet in the mansion in the front hall. Liu Yu walked in, Sui Yu stood up to salute. Liu Yu just smiled and sat aside for a while. Sui Yu felt embarrassed. They also finished discussing and said goodbye in advance on the excuse of having someone at home.

After seeing off Sui Yu, Xu Xuanzhu came over and said, "Husband, the sister of the Sui family said that the wine and food for this banquet was supplied by Yuelaiju, and she said that she would not charge money. But why did she spend money again and again? She then said that she would charge it at a cost price and provide some staff."

It's safe to leave the matter to Xu Xuanzhu and Sui Yu to do Liu Yu. Now his errands are not as leisurely as before. Even though the old emperor said that he could be a free agent, there were so many people and affairs in the Imperial Guard that he couldn't get up even if he wanted to.

There was still some time before supper, and Liu Yu entered the study and wanted to draw a detailed copy of the musket drawing. But when he saw the official book on the bookshelf, Liu Yu suddenly wanted to open it and take a look.

It was a turbulent time, and Liu Yu had to make plans for his future. Now he had broken up with the King of Chu, but the old emperor seemed to have no idea and wanted him to continue to develop his power for the King of Chu in order to become a country in the future. This was very troublesome.

Once the King of Chu returned to Chang'an City, he told the emperor in detail that Liu Yu's status was not guaranteed to be small, and the old emperor was worried that he would suppress him again would be very bad. This matter must be planned early, and it would be best to solve the problem in advance. Finding someone to kill the King of Chu is unrealistic. Let's show goodwill to the King of Chu? The King of Chu's suspicion is in line with the old emperor. More importantly, the King of Chu is still a patient with arrogance and obsessive-compulsive disorder. The things he knew could not be changed easily. This path would not work.

"I would have liked that boy Su Yan to fight for some excitement." Liu Yu sighed and said to himself.

After opening the list of officials and looking at the wealth of some ministers, Liu Yu felt confused. Only Mingjin, who was around the King of Chu, gave him some ideas, but this idea was difficult to summarize. It was nothing more than how to use Mingjin to make the old emperor lose the trust of the King of Chu.

As the mood faded, the sky gradually faded. Lu Chu'er's head swayed at the door of the study.

"Son-in-law, that bastard named Qu is asking for a meeting outside, oh, and Liu Wu." Lu Chu'er was teased by Qu Zhu at the Fourth Princess's Mansion that day. After that, although Qu Zhu was also considered Liu Yu's disciple, Lu Chu'er lacked a favorable impression of him.

Anyway, Liu Yu had planned to arrange Qu Zhu into the Imperial Army for a long time, and now he was just right to go to the visit. He went to the front yard with Lu Chu'er. Qu Zhu and he saluted quickly, and Liu Wu knelt on the ground with gratitude and kowtow.

"No need to be polite, please come in."

When he arrived at the main hall, the maid presented tea. Qu Zhu looked natural, but Liu Wu seemed to be unable to let go. He had a low status in the Marquis of Dingguo Mansion and did not even have the chance to enter the house, let alone sitting at the table and drinking tea as a guest of honor.

"Has the Ministry of Personnel sent you errands?" Liu Yu asked after coming up.

Qu Zhu said: "There is no news from the Ministry of Personnel. My brothers Liu have settled their homes first, and then I come over to see General Liu."

Liu Yu looked at Liu Wu who lowered his head and didn't say anything, and asked a few questions. Only then did he realize that Liu Wu had already found a small courtyard in the city and was preparing to wait for the appointment of the court with peace of mind. For a "selected seventh-rank" official who had a pure and honest fortune and had a clean wallet, this kind of waiting was probably a group of confused waiting.

Liu Yu said earnestly: "Xiaowu, you are not like Qu Zhu. He has knowledge and martial arts. He can quickly adapt to good errands wherever he goes. In this way, I will talk to Sui Shaoyin of the Jingfu and ask him to find you an errand in Jingfu first. The position is not high. Start from low to low and learn slowly. Don't be discouraged, do it well."

Liu Wu knelt down and kowtowed again, "The twelve young master gave the villain a chance, and the villain was so heartless that he would never dare to dislike him."

"Get up, get up." Liu Yu helped Liu Wu up, "You are also an official now, and we are colleagues. You can just bow your hands when you meet in the future. Don't kneel down when you see it. As long as you do your best to do your work, you will have a bright future."

After Liu Wu returned to the capital these days, he received his first official salary in his life, which was twelve taels. He felt like he was dreaming. Now facing Liu Yu, he really wished he could kneel on the ground for a few days and nights before expressing his gratitude.

Liu Yu finally said to Qu Zhu: "Mingli, you should have heard of something. Something happened in the Imperial Guard these days. There are many positions available. You have martial arts and talent. I plan to let you join the Imperial Guard to help. The official will not be very big. You can only be a left guard in the seventh rank, but don't worry, as long as I am here, you will be promoted to the Imperial Guard."
