Chapter 153 I Really Want to Improve
After the group of eunuchs left, Zhao held the Feiyu suit and the inexplicable sword, feeling a little at a loss.
"Promoted? Promoted now? Can such a good thing happen to me again?"
After closing the door, I couldn't help shouting "cool" three times! Regardless of why he wanted to be promoted, let’s just say whether he was promoted or not? Today is the fourth grade, maybe tomorrow it will be the third grade, and then the third grade. There will be no promotion next!
What's going on? I'm ashamed of myself.
"It seems that I have the potential to be the next Lu Wenyu!"
When you are proud of the spring breeze, you must be crazy. Don't be frivolous and waste your youth.
"No, I don't think you have." A familiar voice came from the rooftop, and the tone of his voice was full of contempt.
Zhao didn't look back and retorted decisively, "I think so, I still..."
At this point, I suddenly realized that the voice was Lu Wenyu! Damn it, this is really teasing the tiger’s wife in front of the tiger!
"Say, why don't you say anything? You're fine, you're staring at me."
Lu Wenyu landed lightly without a single snowflake splashing. Looking at Zhao Jiu who was so ecstatic that he couldn't help but mock, "Commander Zhao..."
"Ouch yoyo..."
"Would you like to say it again?"
Zhao, who originally wanted to say "say it again," turned around and saw Lu Wenyu with a murderous look on his face, and swallowed his words hard. Putting on a flattering smile, he walked to Lu Wenyu rather clumsily.
"Master Lu, Fifth Master, uncle! No matter how high-ranking an official is, he is still a soldier under you... Look, you are still angry. I just want to make progress too much!"
Although I don't understand what Zhao means by "progress", according to Lu Wenyu, it is not much different from "promotion". So I patted him and educated him earnestly.
"It's good for young people to have the ambition to move forward. Who doesn't want to be prosperous? But you have to be careful, just think about it in your mind, and don't talk about it every day!"
"There are still imperial censors in the capital. What if I read one of your books? Do you expect those old men in the cabinet to stay with you for the rest of your life?"
After thinking about it for a while, it was the same truth, so he quickly adjusted his emotions and said seriously, "Thank you, Fifth Master, for teaching me. This kid is not sensible this time. I will definitely not go so far next time."
"Do you still want a next time? It won't be the same next time!" Lu Wenyu scolded. He was still relieved about Zhao Jiu. This time, he was probably overwhelmed by the joy after being startled, and he couldn't control himself for a while.
Zhao remembered Lu Wenyu's scolding in his heart. Fortunately, it was Lu Wenyu who heard this this time. If it had been someone else, he would have been in a lot of trouble. You must be careful in your words and deeds in the future. The capital is so big that it is really difficult to live there.
It’s good to learn a lesson to avoid causing bigger troubles in the future.
Lu Wenyu was quite satisfied with Zhao Jiu's attitude of admitting his mistake, and nodded slightly to indicate to him to sit down. He asked softly and straight to the point, "Do you know why you were promoted to an official this time?"
If Zhao Yiyi doesn't understand the meaning of this, then his two lives will be in vain. For promotion, it must be recommended by the leader!
"Thank you for the recommendation, Fifth Master. I'm very grateful."
"Well." Lu Wenyu accepted Zhao Jiu's flattery calmly and said happily, "As long as you can understand it. But this time I am not promoting you to an official position. The promotion of official positions and conferments are all His Majesty's intention. Guess what it means. You are right. I’ll give you something good.”
oh? nice one? Judging from Lu Wenyu's smiling expression, it was not a good thing. A man's smile is sometimes faker than a prostitute's.
What's more, Zhao also understood that if it was a good thing, it would be his turn as an outsider? Others don't know Zhao Jiu's true identity, how can Lu Wenyu know?
But since it can be guessed, there will be no information that is completely inaccessible to itself, otherwise it would be impossible to guess. And the only thing I have done recently is fighting on the mountain. There is no need to investigate this matter. Even if I do it in a despicable way, I am one of my own in name, so there is no reason to investigate myself.
If it weren’t for the mountains, then there would only be two major events in the capital. It is not his turn to investigate the assassination of the barbarians. After all, he is only a second-grade person. How can he investigate the Grand Master? The only thing left that is relevant is the prince's rebellion.
"You're not asking me to investigate the third prince's rebellion, right?" Although he couldn't believe it, he still gave his guess.
"Oh?" Lu Wenyu was surprised and couldn't help but ask, "Did Eunuch Feng tell you?"
It’s true! Zhao patted his forehead with a bitter look on his face. What the hell is this? Dad asked someone to check on his son. It was indeed a hard job. He simply tried and said, "Eunuch Feng didn't say anything, but can I refuse?"
"What do you think?"
"There is no way to investigate this matter! Fifth Master! Since ancient times, only parents have investigated their sons themselves. There is no reason to let others investigate their own sons! What should I do if there is a settlement afterwards?"
Zhao angrily refused, "I can't do it, no matter how much money I have. At worst, I'll take off my official uniform and go back to Bianzhou, and we'll break up! I'm still young, and I don't want to die early!"
"If you have money, you have to have life to spend it!"
Lu Wenyu was just surprised, but soon his expression returned to its original state, and he asked with a smile, "Do you think the emperor will let you investigate the third prince?"
"Don't be so sentimental. The third prince has been taken away by the clan. Where are you going to check? Go to the palace to check?"
After saying that, he waved his hand and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, I just want you to check who is involved. I won't embarrass you."
After saying that, he put the imperial envoy token in his arms on the table, tapped the token twice, and said with a smile, "With the sword and imperial envoy token given by His Majesty, what are you afraid of?"
"Haha, the capital doesn't need this thing, does it? Fifth Master, you are not telling the truth..." Zhao picked up the token and looked at it for a while. The workmanship was indeed exquisite, with gold and jade interlaced with silver threads and different gem embellishments. General objects.
Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Lu Wenyu simply said frankly, "Daqi wants to attack the Hu people in the north, but the news cannot be leaked, so as not to make the Hu people prepare. Therefore, a thorough investigation of this conspiracy and assassination is the best way to distract the Hu people." "
"Your Majesty wants you to make a big fuss and create a confusion for the barbarians so that they can't distinguish our purpose. At the same time, he also wants to tidy up the place and track down the officials. Do you understand what I mean?"
Zhao suddenly realized, just say, how could someone not believe in himself, but believe in outsiders. It turns out that this is the plan, "In order to fight against the outside world, you must first settle down at home, right?"
Lu Wenyu stood up and looked at Zhao Jiu with burning eyes, "I have this intention, but it is not the most important thing. It is too big outside the pass, and the Northern Expedition cannot be completed in a day or two."
"The emperor means to avoid civil strife as much as possible to prevent internal and external troubles and dilemmas. Therefore, you have a heavy responsibility!"
After hearing this, Zhao's eyes lit up. The imperial envoy at this time was not comparable to other times. It could be said that his power was almost unlimited. The most important thing is that the duration is definitely not short, and you can make a lot of money.
"Tell me the price. If the offer is suitable, I will accept it!"
Lu Wenyu had known Zhao Jiu's temperament for a long time. He was a typical person who couldn't afford to go early without any profit. He had already thought about it on the way here. Money was not a big deal. With a sure expression on his face, he whispered, "Two thousand taels a month, and you can still make some profit in the middle. But it can't exceed half."
Only half done? Why don't I make you so stingy! Zhao immediately sat down and raised the price, "Two thousand taels is too little, three thousand taels. And you can't interfere too much, or I won't check anything at all."
