Chapter 66 The Younger Men Are Formidable
Chen Wenying said: "The official department's assessment of Beijing officials last year has been completed. It was presided over by Lao Ma and hosted by Yun Nuo. Yun Nuo wrote the memorial, but it has not been submitted to the emperor. You should read it first." Pass it to Yan Luan.
Yan Luan took it over and saw that the memorandum was written in a clear order, the words were precise, and the handwriting was very delicate, so he said: "Mr. Lu has a good literary talent."
Lu Huai said: "Master's absurd praise."
Yan Luan said: "How old are you this year?"
Lu Huai said: "Go back to the master, the slave is eighteen."
Yan Luan smiled at the crowd and said, "It's really scary for future generations."
Then the various ministries picked up some important matters and told Yan Luan, and Yan Luan replied one by one.
Seeing that Lu Huaixin had been taking notes with a pen, Yan Luan said, "Show me what you wrote down."
Yan Luan took a piece of paper full of teeny lowercase letters, and remembered it in detail, and said, "Although Mr. Lu is young, he is very capable. It's hard for you to record while listening to me, and you still remember so well."
Chen Wenying said with a smile: "I will be in charge of the official department for half a year without you. I have a lot of things to do, and there is only Lao Ma as a servant in the official department. Most of the chores are handed over to Yun Nuo, and Yun Nuo is very helpful."
Yan Luan nodded and said, "Why don't you say that Mr. Lu is young and promising."
Lu Huai said: "Sir, don't make fun of the slave, and it's better for the master to call the slave by his humble name in the future."
Yan Luan handed the paper back, and said: "Show this to the emperor, and say that several adults are here, waiting for the emperor to summon at any time."
Lu Huaixin entered the Hongde Hall, and came back after a while, and said with a smile: "The emperor said that these few things have been done according to the master's wishes. It is just a matter of peace talks with Hou Jin. The emperor said that he would just talk to him briefly. Alright, if he doesn't know good from bad, he will wipe out Hou Jin and Mongolia in one fell swoop. You adults can leave."
Yang Chao, Kou Yiqing and the others all returned to their department, Chen Wenying said to Yan Luan, "I'll ask them if they have anything to see you, if it's a trivial matter, I'll send them away."
After Chen Wenying left, Lu Huai said: "The emperor said, let the master go to Qianqing Palace for dinner in the evening."
Yan Luan said "hmm" and said, "Didn't I tell you, don't call me master, just call me like everyone else."
Lu Huai said: "Then how do you make it, I am the master's servant, how dare I call you my lord like everyone else?"
Yan Luan had no choice but to say, "You have nothing to do here, you can go out."
Before dusk, Yan Luan had already left the palace and returned home, so naturally he did not go to Zhao Ying's dinner appointment.
On the second day, Zhao Ying still did not go to court, so the ministers went directly to the South Study Room to find Yan Luan.Yan Luan still submitted the paperwork drafted by the ticket and some of her own opinions to Zhao Ying.Fortunately, except for not meeting Yan Luan, Zhao Ying summoned others as usual, but if anyone bypassed Yan Luan and went directly to Zhao Ying to make a report, Zhao Ying asked to report the matter to Yan Luan first.
After more than ten days like this, all the ministers have become accustomed to this mode of not going to court and directly acting, and feel that this will improve a lot of efficiency.Furthermore, discussing matters with Yan Luan is much more relaxed and casual than directly reporting to Zhao Ying.Lu Huaixin went to the palace with Yan Luan every morning, and accompanied Yan Luan back to the mansion at night, and he was very diligent in his work.
Yan Luan said to Lu Tongtong: "It's enough for Langzhong Lu to accompany me into the palace, and there is no need to send a housekeeper to follow me out."
Lu Tong laughed and said, "Master, just call him Xin'er, and use him as a servant."
On this day, as soon as Yan Luan arrived at the South Study Room, Yan Shuang came over with a happy face and announced the decree: the general content is that the emperor specially authorized Yan Luan, the chief assistant of the cabinet, to open the mansion, and appointed Lu Huaixin as the chief historian of Qiping's shogunate.
After receiving the order, Yan Luan said to Yan Shuang: "Notify me that I want to see the emperor."
Yan Shuang left for a while, then came back and said to Yan Luan: "The emperor said, if you want to see him, sir, you can meet him at dinner."
Yan Luan said: "I'm going to kneel in front of the Hongde Hall to ask for an audience."
Chen Wenying said from the side: "You must not, Ling'an, if you kneel down to beg at this time, it will definitely arouse speculation among the ministers, saying that you and the emperor are at odds."
Yan Luan said: "Then what do you think we should do? The previous dynasty allowed civil servants to open the mansion, and there are many disadvantages. Since the founding of my country, the Taizu's legacy, civil and military are not allowed to open the mansion. Why did the emperor make this exception?"
Chen Wenying said in a low voice: "Ling'an, this is the South Study Room, be careful what you say."
At this time Lu Huaixin knelt down and said: "It's the slave who sees that the master is too busy every day. I told the emperor yesterday that the emperor gave the master special permission to open the mansion. Please punish the slave."
Yan Luan glanced at Lu Huaixin and said coldly, "Get up."
That night Yan Luan returned to Yan Mansion, had dinner in his courtyard, and said to Feng Ming: "Call Lu Tong and his son?"
Lu Tong brought his son into Yan Luan's study, Lu Tong said, "What orders does the master have?"
Yan Luan took a sip of tea and said, "Steward Lu, you used to be the chief historian in the palace. Later, when the emperor came to Beijing, he couldn't accommodate so many people for a while, so he asked you to bring male and female servants to my palace. Langzhong Lu is not as weak as the crown." You are already the fifth grade, and you are quite decent in handling affairs in front of the emperor these few days. You are really wronged in my mansion. I will tell Lao Ma tomorrow to see if there is any vacancy, and I will definitely arrange a good place for you father and son. "
Lu Tong didn't wait for Yan Luan to finish, he pulled Lu Huaixin to kneel together, and said, "Master, did I do something wrong, or Xin'er was ignorant and didn't serve Master well. Please give me a clear explanation."
Yan Luan said: "Neither, I really feel that you father and son are condescending to me."
Lu Huai said: "My lord, this slave is wrong. I shouldn't talk too much in front of the emperor. I beg my lord to punish this slave, and don't blame my father."
Lu Tong slapped back Lu Huaixin and knocked him down to the ground, and said: "I don't know how to live or die, in front of the emperor, are you the one who should just talk nonsense?"
Yan Luan said: "Old Lu, teach your son not to stay with me."
Lu Tong kowtowed again: "Master, please give me and Xin'er another chance."
Yan Luan said: "I've finished talking, don't worry too much, just find a good house and move."
After finishing speaking, he walked out of the study and returned to his bedroom.
At night, when Yan Luan was about to go to bed, seeing Feng Ming hesitated to speak, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Feng Ming said: "Master Xin has been kneeling at the door all night."
Yan Luan pushed open the window, took a look, and said, "Where is it?"
Feng Ming said: "How dare he kneel here, kneeling outside the gate of the courtyard."
Yan Luan put on his clothes and stood up, saying: "Go to the door and have a look."
Yan Luan brought Feng Ming to the gate of the courtyard, and seeing Lu Huaixin kneeling there, Yan Luan said, "Why bother? I don't blame you. It's not a lie to ask Lao Ma to re-arrange official positions for you father and son. I will definitely not open a mansion, so there will be no official position as a chief historian. You are really inferior to being a doctor of the official department. In this way, I will arrange for you to fill in the vacancy of the deputy magistrate of the Yanyun Division tomorrow. Get up quickly , go back to your own home."
The author has something to say: The cold war between Shihuan and Master Yan continues, and the jealous Master Yan began to take personal revenge, wow.
