Lu Qian nodded and then said, "It seems that a lot of things have happened in the palace during this period..."
Zhang Bao nodded, and then said, "Let's make a hot pot and talk while eating."
Zhang Bao was worthy of being one of his own. He told Lu Qian exactly what happened during this period.
After Lu Qian listened, he became more and more curious about Dongfang Shen's identity.
All his behaviors and actions are so similar to him.
...
However, it is not clear whether Dongfang Shen is an enemy or a friend.
Lu Qian didn't dare to get too close to him.
Moreover, his intuition told him.
Dongfang Shen may not stand on a united front with him.
After all, during the banquet today, I saw Liu Shiqing and Dongfang Shen walking very close.
Perhaps Dongfang Shen is the one who Liu Shiqing mentioned was lucky.
If this is the case, Dongfang Shen will become his old enemy.
...
The next day, Lu Qian went to court early.
Xia Jiuyuan first rewarded Lu Qian.
Lu Qian was originally the Marquis of Zhenxi, but he did not entrust the land.
Xia Jiuyuan was very polite and directly transferred all twelve cities of Daxia to Lu Qian.
This reward is almost as good as the prince's enfeoffment.
Lu Qian naturally understood that the emperor's reward was just to let Lu Qian help him watch over Dazhou.
Not only that, Xia Jiuyuan also made Lu Qian the left prime minister.
When Lu Qian heard this, he quickly raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this position is too important...I don't dare to take it..."
He said this, but he knew it in his heart.
He still has military power in his hands, and he has been granted the title of Marquis. If he is given the position of prime minister, it will make him dance on the tip of a knife.
Daxia's powerful officials all have high-risk professions.
"Marquis Lu, don't shirk it. It's said that he is the left prime minister, but in fact he was the chief minister of the cabinet before... Don't refuse, this is highly recommended by the national advisor." Xia Jiuyuan said.
Lu Qian looked at Dongfang Shen and saw Dongfang Shen smiling at him.
Lu Qian really couldn't laugh, but he didn't dare to refuse. He said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, since this is the case... Since I serve in the court, the military power of the 500,000 Tianji Army stationed at Yanmen Pass will be fully handed over to me. To Your Majesty."
Without thinking, Xia Jiuyuan waved his hand and said, "No, I can see that you are a handsome man. Although you are serving as the left prime minister, if there is a war on the border, I will still have to rely on Marquis Lu..."
After several shirks, Xia Jiuyuan made Lu Qian the left prime minister.
After sealing the title of prime minister, Xia Jiuyuan changed his words and said, "Prime Minister Lu, I have a matter for you. Xia Nihuang united Chengde and the Yang family rebellion case and handed it over to you. Dian Guangming has been investigating for a long time. After retiring from the court, , you go find him and find out."
"Your Majesty, this matter should be handled by the head of the Criminal Department. I am not good at investigating cases..." After listening to Xia Jiuyuan's words, Lu Qian felt that they were not holding back anything good.
Xia Jiuyuan said, "Because the eldest princess is involved, this matter also involves many people. There needs to be someone who can intimidate them..."
"I think it would be more appropriate for the Imperial Master to investigate this matter..." Lu Qian cupped his hands and said to Xia Jiuyuan.
If you think about it with your toes, you all know that Dongfang Shen was the one who instigated this matter.
"The Imperial Preceptor has recently been busy adjusting the personnel of various ministries and revising the laws, and he is really busy. Otherwise, I would not have appointed a left prime minister." Xia Jiuyuan said.
After listening to Xia Jiuyuan's words, Dongfang Shen continued, "Moreover, Prime Minister Lu, the eldest princess, and Cheng Guo's public relations are quite close... It would be more appropriate if you go."
After listening to Dongfang Shen's words, Lu Qian no longer refused.
Now with this name, it is convenient for him to meet Chengde, Xia Nihuang, and even the former concubine.
I asked Zhang Bao yesterday.
I heard from Zhang Bao that among the people who came back with Chengde and the others. Zhou Shuran and Zhou Min are not here.
Obviously, they were also released by Cheng De.
Now, Chengde has not revealed a word, obviously waiting for someone.
This person is obviously him...
When the time comes, Cheng De will definitely threaten him with Zhou Shuran and Zhou Min.
And Dongfang Shen put him in charge of this, obviously to catch him.
After thinking about this, Lu Qian had a headache!
The best emperor master
