Chapter 45 Is this Jane in the heart of the emperor?
There are many supervisors, bureaus, and departments in the Imperial City, collectively called the Twenty-Four Supervisors.
Among them, the Weaving Bureau has extremely skilled tailors and craftsmen.
The emperor gave the order, and several old eunuchs who were lean but with sharp features walked into the hall, glanced at Lu Qian with blinking eyes, and then walked out without saying a word.
Yinyuan sat lazily on the throne, gently stroking his face that was bruised by a bear's paw with his right hand. He put aside what happened last night and began to ask Lu Qian and Luo Qingzhou about the common people's activities in the market.
Luo Qingzhou could only answer half of the questions he asked.
Holding a high position, especially in a 'secret spy' agency like the Palace Guard, the news Luo Qingzhou receives on weekdays is nothing more than which ministers have met in private to visit a brothel, and which minister's house has a grape rack falling down.
My face was scratched. Some minister's wife was jealous and ordered a certain concubine to be beaten to death.
When it comes to understanding the streets, Lu Qian far surpasses Luo Qingzhou.
The parents in the East are the parents, the families in the West are short, which family in Anlefang has a virtuous daughter-in-law, which family in Min'anfang has a pretty widow, which grain shop is the fairest trader, which silk and satin shop has a habit of shoddy goods, and what is the price of grain in the market today?
, how is the price of salt, various canal docks in Haojing City, which gang is harsh on people, which gang is tough, the boss of the sailor is loyal, etc.
The emperor liked to hear it, and Lu Qian had a lot of bits and pieces to talk about.
The emperor kept nodding his head with a smile, and Lu Qian became more and more proud as he talked. Before he knew it, he spent more than an hour recounting the new and interesting things that had recently happened in some major cities and towns in Haojing City.
After a round of picking and choosing.
"Oh, let's serve tea and give us a seat." Yinyuan patted his thigh hard, pointed at Lu Qing and Luo Qingzhou and said with a smile: "Hurry, serve tea and give me a seat. After talking so much, are you thirsty?
"
Several maids quickly moved two brocade piers, and Lu Yan and Luo Qingzhou thanked Yinyuan and sat down.
A small vase-shaped table was propped up next to one person, with an exquisite teapot and exquisite tea cups placed on it.
Yinyuan turned his head and smiled at Yu Changle: "Old Yu, tell your men to be more attentive and stop staring at those ministers all the time... They are just tossing about those things. I'm tired of hearing them.
.”
Tapping his fingers on the armrest of the throne, Yinyuan sighed: "I still want to be like Lu Qing. People should inquire about interesting things in the market. For example, Widow Ma from Sanliu Hutong in Jinbaoli, Min'anfang, she
Really as good as silver skin?"
Lu Qian's mouth twitched.
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head, drank tea, and did not dare to say a word.
Yu Changle smiled extremely tangledly and glanced at Lu Yi with a resentful look.
As the emperor of Dayin Wu Dynasty, Lu Qian talked about gossip for more than an hour. Why are you thinking about Widow Ma?
"Old Yu, please make arrangements. One day, we will find an opportunity to secretly go for a walk in Sanliu Hutong." Yinyuan crossed his legs and swayed his feet very comfortably.
"Speaking of which, I have never seen a widow in my life." Yinyuan sighed heavily: "You can't leave any regrets in life, old fish, do you think this is true?"
Lu Qian held the tea cup and drank the fragrant tea in small sips.
He finally understood the emperor's character.
However, when it comes to widows... aren't there a large number of people squatting in the palace? Isn't the current Queen Mother the most distinguished widow in Dayin?
Eh?
Eh?
What Yinyuan said was wrong.
Lu Qian lowered his head and stared at the tea leaf in the teacup seriously.
What Yinyuan said was very, very wrong.
He has never seen the widow?
In other words, the Queen Mother is not a widow?
So, the legendary emperor who has died?
Yinyuan dropped the subject of Widow Ma. He crossed his legs and looked at Lu Qian with a smile: "Lu Qing, are you a descendant of Jingyang Lu Laiguo?"
Lu Chen put down the tea cup, stood up, and smiled at Yinyuan: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen is now a member of Tianenhou's family... Tianenhou is Weichen's uncle. His Majesty gave him a title for his meritorious service back then.
Tianenhou Mansion was separated from Laiguo Duke Mansion."
"Oh, oh, Lu Yi's nephew." Yinyuan laughed: "Lu Yi is a loyal minister."
Shaking his head, Yinyuan said with emotion: "I think back then, when I was young and vigorous, I felt that my martial arts training was pretty good, so I ran to the 'Canglang Courtyard' in Jiuquyuan and met the group of more than 300 irons that had just been sent to me.
Fight with the wolf on your back."
With a twitch in his face, Yinyuan subconsciously reached out and touched his butt forcefully.
"Tsk, tsk, luckily Lu Yi came to my rescue. I was still beaten twice and half of my butt was almost torn off."
"Poor Lu Wei, tsk tsk, he protected me from escaping from Canglang Yard, but he himself was bitten... one was a bloody mess, and the other was too miserable to look at."
"However, it is understandable that Lu Tie, who is from an ordinary collateral branch of the Lai Kingdom Duke's family, is only a small leader in the Yulin Army."
"His cultivation at that time was not very good. In order to save me, he risked his life!"
Yinyuan shook his head regretfully: "There is no greater merit than rescuing him. I originally wanted to make him a duke, but too many people opposed it. Even the Duke of Lai's government opposed it with fierce words, so I just wanted to make him a duke."
I can be made a marquis."
Lu Qian smiled and said nothing.
No wonder there are only rumors outside that Lu Yi made great contributions and was granted a title by the emperor, but no one has ever said what exactly Lu Yi did!
You really can't tell anyone about this, right?
The majestic emperor jumped into a wolf den and fought with a group of wild wolves. He was almost killed. Lu Yi risked his life to save him, but he was bitten to pieces by a group of wild wolves... This is not the merit of conquering an enemy country or conquering an enemy. This achievement is
Your achievements would be embarrassing to your ancestors even if you put them in the history books!
No wonder Lu Yi himself never mentioned how he was granted the title of Marquis.
"Lu Wei's kung fu is still a bit weak." As he spoke, Yinyuan's topic took another turn: "Jingyang Lu, in the lineage of Lai Guogong, there used to be a very powerful one called... Lu
, Lu...Old Yu, is that the one who single-handedly defeated most of the Yulin Army during the internal competition of the Yulin Army, the one my father likes the most?"
"Lu Xiu!" Yu Changle hurriedly said with a smile: "'Army-breaking Dragon Spear' Lu Xiu was in the Yulin Army back then. Although there were several other generals with similar reputations to him, I remember it clearly. Yulin
The generals in the army all recognized that Lu Xiu was the number one general of the Yulin Army, including General Yu Wei at that time, and they were all convinced."
"That's right, Lu Xiu." Yinyuan nodded and said, "Lu Xiu's kung fu is much stronger than that of Lu Ya."
Lu Qian coughed lightly: "Your Majesty, General Lu Xiu is Wei Chen's grandfather."
Yu Changle narrowed his eyes and smiled kindly.
Yinyuan suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Oh? Lu Xiu is your grandfather? Sure enough, look at your figure and appearance, um, um, good, good. What about your father?"
Lu Qian laughed dryly: "Father, Lu Min (chan)."
Yinyuan patted his forehead gently, frowned and murmured: "Lu Min? Lu Min? I am also very familiar with this name..."
Yin Yuan tilted his head and thought hard for a while, then suddenly slapped his head: "Ah, are you born tall and tall? You usually speak and act politely, but when you get into a fight, you look like a mad dog?"
Lu Qian's face twitched violently.
Like a ‘mad dog’?
He didn't know that his father had such a glorious deed.
After all, how old was Lu Qian when Lu Min left him and ran away from home without knowing his whereabouts?
"It's him." Yinyuan saw the change in Lu Qian's expression, and he laughed happily: "He also served as my companion for two years. He is the introductory disciple of Nei Shicheng, Nei Shicheng.
Shi Cheng, that old man..."
Yu Changle coughed several times hurriedly.
Yinyuan rolled his eyes and glared at him with a resentful look: "What are you afraid of? What are you afraid of? That old man hasn't made an appearance in almost ten years. He might have died outside. Why should I be afraid of him?"
"Hey, I think back then, when the old man Nei Shi Cheng forced me to read with a ruler, your father, Lu Min, would only read the books of the Secret Historian, and especially those books about monsters, ghosts, foxes and fairies."
Yinyuan licked his lips vigorously: "He also secretly found some interesting books for me. Tsk, those vixens are really inferior to each other. At that time, they would turn into beauties and seduce scholars. Why are they so bad now?
Where is the trace?”
Yu Changle smiled helplessly.
Lu Qian and Luo Qingzhou laughed awkwardly.
Yinyuan murmured with great longing, "However, it's not bad. Although there are no vixens now, there are beautiful female ghosts... It seems that it's not bad either."
"What do you think we should do to tie up that female ghost?" Yinyuan frowned, lost in thought.
Yu Changle coughed heavily.
Yinyuan sighed, put down his legs, and looked at the sky outside the window: "It's almost noon, get ready to pass the food around. Old Yu, Lu Qing, and the one with the big head, you call, call...
Luo Qingzhou, right? Luo Qing, come have lunch with me. Those four bear paws cannot be wasted."
With a sigh, Yinyuan looked at Lu Yi again, and pointed at Lu Yi lightly with a smile on his face: "Lu Xiu's grandson, Lu Min's son, hehe, I remember you. Lu Xiu is my father."
Lu Min was the emperor's most trusted and close minister, and I also have a friendship."
"Lu Qian, do your best."
"The palace guards are different from those in the outer dynasty. In the outer dynasty, if I want to promote a county magistrate, there will be a group of people making noises."
"But the palace guard is an inner court agency. I can do whatever I want. I can promote whoever I want to be promoted."
"Work hard and make more contributions. For example, if you make Bai Changkong vomit blood again, it would be better if you can make him angry to death. If you really make Bai Changkong angry to death, I will give you the title of uncle!"
Lu Qian raised his eyebrows.
The emperor actually felt so bad towards Bai Changkong?
This really suits Lu Qian's wishes.
Luo Qingzhou on the side was already so jealous that his eyes were red. Was Lu Qian remembered by the emperor?
Sure enough, there is a good grandpa and a good father who wants to take advantage of a "down-to-earth" and "conscientious" minister like him.
The red robe on Luo Qingzhou's body was earned through more than 20 years of hard work as a palace guard.
But what about Lu Qian?
Luo Qingzhou wanted to vomit blood, but he didn't want to speak.
At this moment, footsteps sounded, and a dozen young eunuchs walked in staggeringly carrying a soft sedan.
King Yinping of Lancang was lying on the sedan chair. As soon as he entered the hall, he was so excited that he danced and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, hey, I really saw a ghost last night. Who do you think the female ghost leader is?"
