After much discussion, it was finally decided.
The specific regulations were naturally kept secret.
However, publicly, he was given the title of Censor of Zuodu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Lu Daqi, and was sent to inspect military affairs in Shaanxi, Yan, Ning, Gansu, Xuanda, Jizhen and other military stations. He was also given a sword to Shang Fang to facilitate his actions.
It can be said that almost the entire northern border affairs were left to his disposal.
As for giving Shang Fangjian, he was dedicated to killing and acting cheaply. It was implemented during the "Three Great Conquests of Wanli" during the Wanli period. Because of its good effect, it was loved by the emperor.
As the first person to give Shang Fang the sword during the Shao Wu period, Lu Daqi's status in the court skyrocketed, and there were even rumors that he would join the cabinet after completing his mission.
For a moment, there was a lot of traffic in front of Lu's house, and it was like a lively scene, which was no less than at the vegetable market.
It's a pity that since receiving such an assignment, Lu Daqi has understood the heavy burden on him and is unwilling to let others down easily, so he immediately closed the door and thanked the guests.
However, the city of Beijing was too shallow after all, and there were too many hidden big names, so Lu Daqi had to compromise.
No, as soon as the door was closed, the back door on one side was forced open to welcome the distinguished guests.
"Young Master, please come quickly -"
The housekeeper hunched over and introduced the young man into his home with a smile.
Although You Xiuwen looked like a martial artist, his dignified behavior revealed all manners and rules. He entered the house carefully:
"Thanks for your hard work."
He cupped his hands and walked away in small steps.
Soon, he entered the side hall and saw Lu Daqi with a calm expression.
"My nephew You Xiuwen has met Uncle Lu Shi."
Lu Daqi stroked his beard and looked at the young man in front of him, feeling filled with emotion.
You Shiwei was born in the frontier army and has been a military household for generations. It can be said that he has no shortage of bravery, but it is difficult to come up with civil service.
This little prince has a dignified and generous manner. Although he is in his twenties, he does not have the arrogance of a young man and does not have the arrogance of a noble man, which is really rare.
"You and I know each other well. Don't let us see each other outside. Get up!"
Lu Daqi smiled and asked for good tea.
After sitting like this for a while, You Xiuwen had to lower his head and said: "I heard that Uncle Shi was inspecting the border town. Although my father is not in the capital, I still want to give my nephew a small gift..."
Lu Daqi shook his head slightly, holding the teacup in his hand, and said extremely steadily but firmly: "Xiannie, I'm afraid it's not going to be good right now under the melon fields and plum trees."
Of course he understood that the You family's visit at this time must have deep meaning.
It is naturally difficult for ordinary people to know about the imperial court's rectification of the border troops, but for nobles like them, it is just a matter of course.
Especially the You family. As a hereditary family, the You family finally experienced an outbreak in the Chongzhen Dynasty after hundreds of years. You Shiwei served as the commander-in-chief and guarded Juyong and Changping.
After that, his brothers You Shilu, You Shigong and others also came to power and became guerrillas and generals.
His family had lived in Yulin Town for a long time, and it could be said that he had in-laws everywhere, and was surrounded by relatives and friends. Only then did he still fight back against the invaders in a desperate situation in history, causing the whole city to be killed.
It is conceivable that such a large family in the army would carry a hoe and dig the hardest when the frontier army collapsed.
Lu Daqi naturally refused to get involved. If he made this promise easily, there would be no good results, and his mission would end in an anticlimactic manner.
"Uncle Shi has a heavy responsibility. I don't know where my nephew is. It's just that although my You family is originally from Huaiyou, Nanzhi, they have lived in Yulin for generations. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know."
Lu Xiuwen's words were rather tactful.
How nice it is to cover yourself while helping.
Lu Daqi's heart moved when he heard this.
The military town is intertwined and the relationships are complex. If there is a guide, it will be a quick and enjoyable way to cut through the mess.
But in this case, compromise is essential.
If it's normal, it's okay. After all, politics is not a battlefield. Either you die or I die. Compromise is normal.
However, this would go against his principles, or let the emperor down.
If so, wouldn't it be a shame to join the cabinet? If you feel relaxed now, you will regret it later.
"My nephew, I know that you are not here for yourself, but also for other people's expectations, but you have to remember."
Lu Daqi's determination became stronger day by day, and he said in a deep voice: "Now that your family has moved from Yulin to Beijing, the imperial palace is so magnificent that it makes others envious. Isn't it better than Yulin, which eats sand?"
"To use a folk saying, eating from a bowl and looking into the pot is not acceptable."
You Xiuwen was stunned. The muscles in his body tensed up and he immediately held up his loose robe, making him look particularly majestic.
This made Lu Daqi look askance. He really thought he was a scholar, but he was actually a martial artist!
He immediately understood that this was Lu Daqi's suggestion.
yes! The You family is already the Duke of the country. In fact, the titles are decreasing, and that is only when they reach Viscount. They have continuous wealth and honor, and are practicing with the country. At this time, they are still eyeing Yulin, causing trouble for the emperor and the court.
It makes people fearful for nothing, how do you know that today's heroes will not be killed?
During the founding period of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the great ancestor was very close to the military commanders. His elixirs were written in iron curls as if they were free of charge. Who could guess the emperor's thoughts?
You Xiuwen immediately broke out in cold sweat and his heart palpitated.
He quickly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Uncle Shi, for the advice. My nephew, I'll take my leave."
Speaking of this, he said solemnly: "It is my duty to serve the imperial court."
Lu Daqi was stunned, then smiled. After all, he was a smart man.
"Master, do you still want to leave the door open?" asked the butler on the side.
"No, don't pay attention to anyone who comes to see you."
Lu Daqi waved his sleeves coolly and said with a chuckle: "It will be a lot easier these days."
At this time, in the palace, Zhu Jing, the commander of the Beijing Zhongcheng Army and Horses Division, was standing on the grass beside, watching the emperor swinging the pole to play ball.
The flat grass, the hook-shaped golf club, and the several holes on the ground made Zhu Jing scratch her head and really didn't understand what kind of game this was.
But seeing the emperor having fun, he didn't care about it.
"You have been in the capital for almost a year!"
Suddenly, the emperor took off his coat, revealing the white soft silk shirt underneath, and sat down on the soft bamboo chair. He was obviously very tired.
"It's been almost fifteen months since I took over the job in the second year of Shaowu."
Zhu Jing said clearly.
Even though he was close to the emperor, he did not dare to overstep his bounds. After entering officialdom, he had to cherish such a relationship even more.
"Fifteen months!!"
Zhu Yixi shook her head and sighed: "You are almost nineteen, and seven years have passed without you realizing it."
"I have found a good match for you. Choose a good time this month to get married!"
"Your Majesty, are you too impatient?" Zhu Jing couldn't help but said.
"I have assigned you a good mission, don't rush it!"
