Chapter 699 Monarch and Subject
As far as Yu Yingzhi is concerned, he doesn't care whether he is promoted to Yuanwailang or whether he can be promoted from the sixth rank to the fifth rank. He is excited because both Lu Yan and Xiao Xun attach great importance to the promotion of sweet potatoes.
And this happens to be a major event that benefits the country and the people. Now that the two most powerful people in Dayong can care about the national economy and the people's livelihood, this country has hope.
He sees hope.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your support. I will work hard to promote sweet potatoes. After three years, there will be no hunger in the northwest!"
"Okay, there is no starvation in the northwest. I like this sentence, and it should be understood!" Xiao Xun raised his glass, and everyone had a drink together.
In mid-November, on the official road leading to the capital, there was a sound of horseshoes. Around the capital, Dongchang Fanzi, who had disappeared for a long time, jumped into people's eyes again.
The young man headed by him was dressed in a scarlet embroidered unicorn robe, and the cloak behind him was hunting. The eagle's eyes were dotted with a red bead, ready to spread its wings and soar into the sky.
The last ray of sunset glowed on the tower of Nanxun Gate. The watchmen saw this group of people, and couldn't help but be surprised. Under the panic, their voices broke, "The Governor returns to the capital, open the city gate!"
The heavy city gate was slowly opened, Lu Yan glanced at the soldiers on both sides, and the rice ball behind him showed Lu Yan's waist card, and the horse rushed in from under the city tower without slowing down.
In the city, on the streets after the curfew, only the patrolling Wucheng Bingmasi people were still wandering around. When they saw the Dongchang fanzi, they were shocked and gave way one after another. They couldn't help but look at the young man at the front , even though he has been absent for the past two years, the capital city is still under his control, and his prestige still suppresses the capital city, making people dare not act rashly.
It was cold winter, and there were only bare branches left on the two huge elm trees at the gate of Lu's house, and the thick trunks looked simple and vigorous.
Ruyi door was opened, everything was as usual, the little **** at the door hurried forward, led the horse, Lu Yan turned over, and when he entered the door, his footsteps paused.
Everything is so familiar, and everything seems so strange. In just two years, he obviously lived in the Lu Zhai in Xiaohumu Lane, which was only a handful of days. He obviously lived here for nearly ten years before that, but What he misses most is the Lu residence in Xijiang.
It was the place where he was born and raised, and after that, all the joy in this life was there.
In Dongnuange, the emperor wakes up for less and less time now. It seems that he has a sense. When Lu Yan came in, the emperor woke up. When he saw Lu Yan, he suddenly felt like a dream.
"Ah Yan?" The emperor called out uncertainly. He thought he was seriously ill and had hallucinations.
Lu Yan came forward slowly, and when he arrived at the couch, he bent down and saluted, "I have seen the emperor, and the emperor looks pretty good."
Lu Yan was still the same Lu Yan, but the emperor looked at it, and everything seemed different. He froze for a moment, and stretched out his hand to Lu Yan, "Ah Yan, help me up!"
Lu Yan did not join hands, but glanced at the **** behind him. A **** hurried forward to help the emperor, but the emperor slapped him and looked at Lu Yan stubbornly.
"Ah Yan, are you going to rebel?" The emperor was furious, his chest heaving violently, "Are you going to rebel?"
"Your Majesty, I dare not!" Lu Yan stood up straight, "Your Majesty, Western Xinjiang is a very vast land, where there are the most delicious melons, delicious raisins, and the jujubes there are very big, suspected to be immortals. It's a pity that you will never see these again, Your Majesty."
The emperor was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood. He coughed violently, but still looked at Lu Yan stubbornly, "Are you... are you... the son of Marquis Dingyuan?"
"Your Majesty, doesn't the Emperor already know whether it is true or not?"
The emperor had already guessed it, but there was still a trace of luck left in his heart. At this moment, the last dream was broken, and he was so frightened that he asked tremblingly, "What about Ah Xun?"
The corners of Lu Yan's lips curled up slowly, a gleam of light flowed through his bewitching eyes, and he looked at the emperor affectionately, as if he was his dream lover, but his lips, like delicate petals, moved slightly, The words he spat out were so cruel, "Your Majesty, Uncle Zhaoyang has a spirit in the sky, and blessed me and Ah Xun to come to this day, which shows that the law of heaven is manifest."
The emperor was so angry that he passed out.
Lu Yan's indifferent eyes glanced at the corpse that was decaying and stiffening on the bed, then turned and walked out resolutely.
Standing under the eaves of the Linde Hall, the new wind blowing from the north lifted the hem of his robe, and the scarlet embroidered unicorn robe was flying in the wind. On the young man's unparalleled beauty, the demons of the past were swept away and invaded. It was stained with the fortitude tempered by the flames of war, and it was as cold as a substance, wrapping him like a layer of armor.
In the south study room, several cabinet elders came and were waiting. When they saw Lu Yan coming, they all stood up.
It's been two years since I've seen you, and everyone seems to no longer recognize this young man who has been with them for more than ten years.
Lu Yan stood in the first place, looked around everyone, raised his hand and said politely, "Sit down!"
He sat down in the first place, put his hands on his knees, and his expression showed a determination that no one could refuse, "The west has been settled, and there are a lot of vacancies in the west. thing."
Zeng Shiyi stood up, thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I obey the order!"
Lu Yan said to Xie Tiao again, "Master Xie, in the two years of fighting in the northwest, Mr. Xie has done as much as us in raising food and grass. The emperor ordered that the next three years will be of great importance to the war in the northern border. The position of chief assistant will be assigned to Xie Tiao Your Excellency, I hope that you will not forget the emperor's kindness, work diligently, and live up to the emperor's expectations."
Xie Tiao was completely stunned, and it was Zhang Minghe who pushed him before he came to his senses, "The minister leads the decree! Thank you Lord Long En!"
Chief Assistant Yang Fu has already retired in June. Prior to this, Yang Fu had been pretending to be old-fashioned and confused. Everything was undecided, and everything was decided by Xie Tiao. Although everyone knew that Xie Tiao would definitely be the next Chief Assistant, but this time Still shocked to hear the news.
They are all cabinet elders, but the first assistant is different. Not all cabinet elders can leave their names in history, but the first assistant, even if they only serve for one day, will be recorded in the annals of history.
Lu Yan obviously didn't care about the opinions of the elders. After he appointed the chief assistant, he looked at Zhang Minghe, "Master Zhang, there are a few people in this seat who have been transferred, and you can arrange someone to deal with it. Let's promote Xie Yuanbai to Anxi The Commander of the Duhu Mansion, the Commander of the Division, promoted Xu Liang to be the Commander of the Shenji Battalion, promoted..."
