Eight or nine o'clock at night.
Lin Fusheng and his party, who were drunk, were ready to continue drinking, but their wives persuaded them to go home.
After all, there is a pregnant woman in the house.
These big men are noisy here, how can they rest?
Speaking of which, it was Lu Yuan's first day back, so he had to let Lu Yuan rest.
It's just that Lin Fusheng and his gang drank too much, but they didn't forget about business.
Before leaving, Lu Yuan was pulled into the yard.
They surrounded Lu Yuan and gave him a round of training.
To put it simply, it’s Chang Liang.
This group of people drank too much, talked too much, and were all close elders. Lu Yuan could only deal with it well.
In the end, the aunts couldn't stand it anymore and dragged their men away.
After everyone else left, Lu Yuan returned to the house.
The house has been cleaned up by the mother-in-law and Yulan, and now only Gu Qingwan is filling the bath water.
Seeing that her man was back, Gu Qingwan turned to look at her man and smiled while testing the temperature of the water:
"What did you say? It took me so long to come back."
Lu Yuan walked up to the second daughter-in-law with a smile, then reached out and slapped his second daughter-in-law's extremely plump part.
This made Gu Qingwan cry out coquettishly and her body trembled.
Although Gu Qingwan's personality was not that of a little woman like Su Liyan, even so, such a sudden and embarrassing behavior still made Gu Qingwan blush when she came to her senses.
Feeling the numbness on her buttocks, Gu Qingwan blushed and looked at her man and said coquettishly:
"What are you doing~~!
I find that you little thing is getting worse and worse. I will ask you, if you don’t want to say it, just say it. If you come up, I will slap you! "
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows with a smile on his face and said:
"Why don't you want to say it? Didn't I tell you this? They just asked me to do this."
ha?
Gu Qingwan came back to her senses and said softly with a blushing face:
"They just let you beat my sister!"
Lu Yuan closed the door, closed the window and drew the curtains, and said with a smile:
"No, they said that Chang Liang was promoted so quickly because someone in the official department wanted to please me and asked me to pay attention to this person. He must not be a good guy.
The current emperor hates cliques the most. If something happens to this person in the future, I will be implicated. Let me be careful.
Uncle Wang Ping finally added that he would beat this man next time he saw him. "
Speaking of this, Lu Yuan turned to look at Gu Qingwan who was standing by the bathtub in shock and said with a smile:
"Daughter-in-law, who do you think this person is?"
After coming back to her senses, Gu Qingwan gave Lu Yuan a very charming roll of her eyes and said:
"It hurts~"
Lu Yuan bared his teeth and smiled:
"I'll give you a good rub later~"
After all, Gu Qingwan was not Su Liyan. If she were Su Liyan, she would be too shy to speak at this time.
But Gu Qingwan, who had recovered, turned around extremely charmingly and lay down on the table behind her.
While swaying her extremely alluring and plump buttocks, she looked back at Lu Yuan with an extremely seductive look:
"Come on~"
…
The next day, early morning.
It's about nine o'clock in the morning.
Familiar time, familiar place, after getting out of bed, stretched.
He let out an earth-shattering yawn.
In one word, cool.
This life is amazing.
As usual, Lu Yuan took a towel and threw it on his shoulder. He held the toothpaste bowl in his left hand and the basin in his right hand and went out to wash up.
The courtyard is very quiet today, with no one around.
Nowadays, those who can move basically go to work.
Even lazy women like Gao Xu went there.
The main reason is that the wages paid are indeed high, and the treatment is the same as that of previous craftsmen.
I won’t say that wages will be cut because there are more people.
After Lu Yuan washed up, he went to the kitchen. There was still warm rice in the pot.
As soon as you eat it, you will know that it is the handiwork of your mother-in-law.
After eating, Lu Yuan didn't pack up. He took the car keys, walked out of the alley, and drove to the palace in his Ben.
Today I went to the cabinet to talk about the Gilded Dynasty.
Autumn is coming soon.
This gilded dynasty is about to come to the grass valley.
When Lu Yuan arrived at the cabinet, he saw that it was extremely busy.
Lu Yuan asked Kang Linfei to come back yesterday, and Kang Linfei knew what he was going to do.
Although he did not take office and had to wait for the imperial decree, Kang Linfei, who was in the cabinet, also started to say what Lu Yuan said to Gu Qingwan at that time.
It's just that the Jiaonan Dynasty went too far, robbing things and the like.
No one in this cabinet is a fool, and no fool can enter a place like this.
Kang Linfei just said it for a while, and everyone in the cabinet knew what it meant.
This is about to start a war against the Jiaonan Dynasty.
Although the people in the cabinet are a little confused, the war between the Gilded Dynasty has not started yet, so why are they thinking about handing over to the Jiaonan Dynasty again?
But no one dared to ask more questions.
This Kang Linfei came with Lu Yuan, and if Kang Linfei said such a thing, then this might be what Lu Yuan meant.
And what Lu Yuan meant was what the emperor meant.
Today's cabinet is no longer the same as before, and has long lost its ability to compete with the emperor.
Whatever the above says, that’s what we’ll do.
Now, people in the cabinet have begun to check the situation on the southwest border, including the army, grain, and weapons and equipment.
All these things must be used. Once the higher-ups ask for them, the cabinet must prepare them immediately.
There has always been nothing going on in the southwest. There were some chieftains who made trouble in the past. But with the smooth operation of the railway now, the official position of chieftain can almost be removed.
Some ethnic minorities will formally integrate with the Zhou Dynasty.
As for border matters, there are really not many details. They have to be transferred from the Ministry of War. The records of the Ministry of War are also from a long time ago and need to be sorted out by the cabinet.
This is really busy.
Lu Yuan quickly found Kang Linfei in this extremely busy cabinet.
Hey, don't tell me, Kang Linfei today is really different from yesterday.
Compared with yesterday, Kang Linfei just changed his clothes today.
But, I feel like Kang Linfei looks so energetic and rosy today.
This Kang Linfei looked like, how should I put it, wilted.
Like an ordinary retired old man.
But now, look at the way Kang Linfei is giving orders.
Knew it.
Sure enough, this once extremely popular minister would never accept that he would end up studying for a book.
For Lu Yuan, Kang Linfei now seemed to be alive.
At this time, Kang Linfei couldn't be more proud.
At eight o'clock this morning, while Kang Lin was running around the house in a hurry, the imperial edict came.
Without any surprise, Kang Linfei was reinstated.
Put on the court clothes that had been put away long ago, thinking that they would never wear them again in this life.
Kang Linfei took the special car prepared by the court and came to work.
After coming, Kang Linfei felt that he was back and everything was back.
This feeling is so good.
Kang Linfei said before that he was quite content with studying in the Hanlin Academy.
But let Kang Linfei speak now.
Contented?
What a waste of contentment! !
If Kang Linfei had to choose now, Kang Linfei would rather die in the assistant position this time.
This is where you should stay.
After being told to go down, the high-spirited Kang Linfei stood up and prepared to do other things. However, he suddenly saw Lu Yuan standing next to him with a smile.
This high-spirited return was high-spirited, but seeing this living king of hell, Kang Linfei still felt a little trembling in his heart.
Before Kang Linfei could say anything, Lu Yuan found a chair and sat down, then smiled and said:
"Mr. Ge, it's okay. It's different if you start doing your old job."
Kang Linfei was startled, then waved his hand quickly and said with a smile:
"Where is it? This is all thanks to Lord Lu..."
Lu Yuan did not talk about this, but directly raised his eyebrows and said:
"But Mr. Ge, you shouldn't be doing this now. You should help me talk about the Jiaonan Dynasty."
Lu Yuan asked Kang Linfei not to come back to do cabinet work.
Regarding matters related to the cabinet, if there is more Kang Linfei, it will not be too much, and if there is less Kang Linfei, there will be more.
Lu Yuan asked Kang Linfei to help him cry in front of all the civil and military officials!
Isn't this just because he took a fancy to Kang Linfei's identity and asked Kang Linfei to lobby.
It also saves the trouble of the civil and military officials arguing back and forth when they talk about the Jiaonan Dynasty in the court later.
So this is the most important thing Kang Linfei has to do now.
After Kang Linfei was stunned for a moment, he quickly said:
"Master Lu, after you listen, I will hand over the affairs of the Southern Dynasty. I have already made arrangements with the cabinet.
As for the other high-ranking officials, they have to wait for a while. Sir Lu, you see, this is what I think. After the court meeting is over in a few days, I will gather them together and talk about it.
Otherwise, you said, it would be outrageous for me to go to each door one by one. "
Lu Yuan thought about it, but that was true.
It would be too deliberate to do this one by one.
Besides, if we go one by one, Kang Linfei will have to repeat those words dozens of times, which will indeed be a bit embarrassing.
That’s okay, it’s not enough for a few days.
Lu Yuan immediately nodded and said:
"Okay, just get it done in a month."
A month?
Kang Linfei looked at Lu Yuan and blinked. The war with the Gilded Dynasty was coming soon. It was estimated that it would start in the next month or two.
If you want to say that...
The Zhou Dynasty really wanted to fight on both sides...
After thinking for a while, Kang Linfei didn't say much and just nodded.
However, Kang Linfei remembered something, looked at Lu Yuan and said quickly:
"Master Lu, have you just woken up?"
Lu Yuan originally wanted to talk about the Gilded Dynasty, but when Kang Linfei asked, he nodded and said:
"Yes, I just got up and came out of home."
After listening to Lu Yuan's words, Kang Linfei looked at Lu Yuan with a strange expression and said:
"If you want to put it this way...when did you ask the emperor for the order to let me return to the cabinet?"
Um……
Lu Yuan was startled, this...
You can't say that Lu Yuan told his wife in bed last night, right?
Lu Yuan was startled for a moment and then said:
"Well...last night...after I remembered last night, I went to see the emperor specifically to ask for his permission."
After listening to Lu Yuan's words, Kang Linfei sighed slightly.
Sure enough.
The order came at eight o'clock in the morning. Kang Linfei guessed that Lu Yuan had done it last night.
The emperor really doted on Lu Yuan. For such a big matter, Lu Yuan would handle it as soon as he asked.
I went to talk about it in the evening, and came to announce the decree at eight o'clock in the morning.
But...it's still the same problem...
After Kang Linfei thought for a while, he looked at Lu Yuan and sighed:
"Master Lu, you really need to think carefully about what I said yesterday...
How can you go to see the Emperor at night? Do you know that the Emperor has to rest at night? For such a trivial matter, can't you go during the day?
It's really not good for you to go tonight and disturb the emperor's rest..."
As he spoke, Kang Linfei started again.
To be honest, I have heard enough of Lu Yuan's words this day after I came back.
Kang Linfei taught Lu Yuan yesterday. After dinner this evening, Lu Yuan was scolded by Lin Fusheng and others.
Now that Kang Linfei is about to start again, Lu Yuan really can't stand it.
Lu Yuan still has something to do.
How can I listen to these people talking about this kind of thing every day?
Lu Yuan quickly looked at Kang Linfei and said:
"Okay, okay, Mr. Ge, I understand. When I do things in the future, I will definitely think about it carefully and think about it carefully."
Regardless of what Lu Yuan was thinking, he was still very sincere and honest.
Kang Linfei was very satisfied when he saw this scene.
Eh~
That’s right~
If you, Lu Yuan, are more honest, less arrogant, and less jumpy, then the emperor can pamper you for a few more years.
If this emperor loves you for a few more years, won't I be able to live a good life for two more years?
Immediately, Kang Linfei was very satisfied and said:
"Hey~ That's right, Sir, in the future, everything must be considered for the Emperor first, and the problem must be considered from the Emperor's perspective."
Lu Yuan felt a sense of contempt in his heart. When you were forming cliques in the cabinet, why didn't you think about my wife's mood?
Of course, he felt contempt in his heart, but Lu Yuan didn't say it on his face, he just said:
"I understand, I understand, Mr. Ge, I have something important to do here."
Kang Linfei was in a good mood when he understood what Lu Yuan said. He looked at Lu Yuan more pleasantly and said calmly:
"Master Lu, what's going on?"
Immediately, Lu Yuan said:
"We have to prepare for the action with the Gilded Dynasty. Please call the Minister of War to come over. We will formulate a plan together."
…
Cabinet, second floor.
In a conference room, there was a row of people sitting.
A Minister of the Ministry of War, two Ministers of the Ministry of War, and some other ministers. Anyway, all the officials of the Ministry of War, big and small, are basically here.
On the cabinet side, Kang Linfei was leading many people in the cabinet to sort out the information on the Gilded Dynasty.
The cabinet has already prepared the information about the Gilded Dynasty.
After all, everyone has known about the battle with the Gilded Dynasty for a long time and has been prepared for it.
Take it all out now.
After everyone arrived, Kang Linfei looked at Lu Yuan and said:
"Sir, please bring out the imperial edict and the tiger talisman."
Um?
Lu Yuan looked at Kang Linfei in confusion and said:
"What imperial edict, what tiger talisman?"
Kang Linfei: "????"
cabinet:"????"
Ministry of War: "????"
