Chapter 221
It is said that companionship is like companionship with a tiger, and this sentence is not wrong at all.
Lu Ming saw the coldness in the emperor's eyes, and felt the temperature around him drop a few degrees in an instant, and the cold sweat dripped off his forehead.
Immediately, he changed into a terrified expression, knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said: "The emperor forgives the crime. I didn't intend to deceive you. It really happened suddenly and I had to do it as a last resort."
At this moment, Lu Ming also had some guilt in his heart. The emperor's face was expressionless. This crime of deceiving the emperor is not big or small.
It's all up to the emperor to make a decision. If one fails, the whole family will die.
The emperor snorted coldly when he heard the words, and said with a slightly relaxed expression: "Last time you exposed the alien's tricks, and you have paid off the merits, so you won't pursue it any more. But this is only this time, it's not an example."
Lu Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
Lu Ming stood up slowly again, seeing the emperor's expression, he knew that he didn't mean to delve into it, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.
But it suddenly occurred to him that what His Majesty the Emperor promised just now, those who can untie the jade square and draw the giant bow will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver.
So he took two steps forward tremblingly, and asked with bright eyes: "Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, and you keep your promises. Does the reward you just said still count?"
Lu Ming's question stunned the emperor for a moment, then he raised his head and laughed.
And laughed and scolded: "Lu Ming, Lu Ming, you are such a wonderful person. Dong Qing is right. You are the only one who dares to talk to me like this. Don't worry, what I promised has never been counted. You husband and wife The two of you have solved my serious problem. I will reward you both. 2000 taels of silver and five pieces of jade ornaments."
Lu Ming's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he quickly bowed and said, "Thank you Lord Long En."
The emperor changed the subject at random, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, you will be appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of War, and you will be a third-rank official."
Hearing this, Lu Ming quickly adjusted the expression on his face, bowed solemnly and said: "I will do my best to share the emperor's worries."
Lu Ming naturally knew why the emperor sent him to the Ministry of War.
Now Su Mu of the Ministry of War has to marry Young Master Li'an because of what happened last time.
Now the emperor took the opportunity to arrange his own manpower in the Ministry of War, hoping to be able to shake the foundation of the Nine Kings above the military power.
Lu Ming is the champion of this year's new department, and he has made great achievements in the process of receiving foreign guests, and he will not be criticized even if he is promoted to the third level.
Moreover, his net worth is clean, and there is no trace of factional struggle. Such a person is the most suitable to be placed in the Ministry of War. No, it will arouse suspicion from all parties.
The two masters and servants have their own ghosts, but they chatted perfectly.
It's just that each takes what they need. Although Lu Ming has been promoted to three levels in a row, the Ministry of War is like a fortress of iron and steel.
Although Su Mu, the minister of the Ministry of War, turned against him, most of the people in the Ministry of War belonged to the Nine Kings faction, which was really a tough nut to crack.
But now Lu Ming is on the verge of shooting, and has no choice but to make a move, and there is no room for backing down.
Holding the gold bestowed by the emperor, Lu Ming happily returned home.
However, he was surprised to learn that Lin Han was not at home. He only found out after asking the servants at home.
It turned out to be the young master of Luanfeng, who handed over the invitation card.
Young Master Luanfeng is about to leave for Dakun, so he invites Lin Han to the tavern for a talk.
When Lu Ming found out, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he immediately turned and walked towards the tavern.
