Chapter 440: Construction Director (Part 2)
"As for the Yuan Sheng behind him... Well, I can't guess what this man wants to do. But judging from his actions, he is nothing more than a slutty child, who has practiced some magic and acted recklessly with magic, which is not worthy of your worries. Moreover, he has left Yingtian City, so there is no need to worry about him. On the contrary, what you need to pay attention to now is Li Zi next to His Highness. The ruthlessness of that kid is also taught by us. If he is plotted by him and takes away your power and status, it would be a joke."
Lu Feng smiled bitterly in his heart. Yuan Sheng was actually an unpredictable person in the mouth of the old eunuch Lu. He was helpless. But who told him not to tell the truth to the old eunuch Lu? Those things were really incredible. How could he tell him? "Ignorance is indeed the luckiest. He just needs to pay attention to the affairs of the world, how easy and happy." Lu Feng couldn't help but envy his adoptive father. He was enough to control the power in the court, but what about him, Lu Feng? He still had to make trouble in the Taoist world, how could he be so carefree?
Old Eunuch Lu looked up at the sky and hissed with excitement. His right hand kept stroking his broken arm, and two cold green lights shot out of his eyes. "Fengzi, your lifelong glory and wealth will be here. As long as you can successfully ascend the Lord Your Highness, your support will be enough to get a higher position today. What is the commander of the Jinyiwei? The chief minister of the cabinet, the Grand Secretary, the Grand Master, the Tai Guard, and the First Class, that is truly powerful and boundless! "
Lu Feng smiled and nodded in his timid way. But he smiled in his heart: "Do you really think that Lu Feng is an official in the court just to gain greater power? Compared with the positions of Taishi and Taifu, the Jinyiwei is more interested in me and more practical. What I want is revenge, not the fame and wealth of the world, and the title of wife and son."
In the imperial study, Zhu Di was sitting there, bowing his head and pondering something. Zhu Zhanji, who had grown a lot, stood beside him in a regular manner, and used a cinnabar pen to read a few not-so-important notes. In the study, Zhu Xi looked at the cinnabar pen in Zhu Zhanji's hand with a smile on his face, while Zhu Yu's face was as pale as gray, and his whole spirit seemed to have been sucked clean and almost soft on the chair. Now, he has no other style of the past? It is purely like a morning glory that has been blown by the wind and rain.
Zhu Di drooped his head, looking weak, suddenly he raised his head, and two cold lights flashed in his eyes, and said coldly: "Zhanji is a good child... In addition to being a little softer, he also has the style of my back then. However, a softer heart can be made up for the day after tomorrow. Didn't he regard Lu Feng as his teacher? Haha, with Lu Feng as his teacher, sheep will be trained to become a wolve, right?...Zhanji is indeed a good child."
Zhu Zhanji obediently stopped the pen in his hand and smiled and thanked Zhu Di for his praise. Zhu Xi also laughed, stood up with some difficulty, and smiled with a trembling fat all over his body: "The praise of the father is too much. How can Zhanji compare with his father? He is still a child and needs more experience... However, he is really well-behaved and very filial to his elders. Besides, I heard from several worshippers in the palace that Zhanji's horse stance skills are also a first-class expert, and this is all due to Lu Feng." He looked at Zhu Yu proudly.
Zhu Di smiled. He glanced at Zhu Xi and Zhu Yu, nodded gently, stroked Zhu Zhanji's head very lovingly and said, "On the day Zhanji was born, I dreamed that the last emperor handed the jade seal to me, which was indeed a good omen. Zhanji did not disappoint me, and he was indeed a good child... Well, Wu, you put aside the affairs of Juyongguan, go back to your fiefdom, and take good care of your own local affairs. Xi'er also returned to Peking City. The expansion of the city and the construction of the palace there should not be delayed."
After a pause, Zhu Di said something that made Zhu Li cold all over: "As for Zhan Ji, just stay in Yingtian City, I will teach him personally. The way of governing the country should start from elementary school! Xi'er is too weak in temperament, but she is not Zhan Ji's good teacher, so let Zhan Ji stay in Yingtian City." The meaning of this is very obvious. In the future, Zhu Zhan Ji will take over the position. Then, it is obvious that Zhu Xi is the crown prince.
He did not dare to show any vision, Zhu Li corrected the expression on his face, stood up and patted Zhu Di's horse, and said, "The father is indeed wise, but Zhan Ji's nephew is my family's dragon horse, and he will definitely achieve great success in the future." This is so ugly. His voice seemed to be inlaid with two pieces of rubble, and his voice was hoarse and desolate.
At this moment, the little Lizi, who was waiting outside, shouted sharply: "Report to Your Majesty, the chief supervisor of the inner army, and the chief commander of the Jinyiwei, Lu Feng, you can hear the intimate greeting in low voices: "Oh, father-in-law, you are back, the emperor is worried about you. Oh, what's wrong with your arm? Which thief is so bold and dares to hurt you?"
The door of the imperial study room suddenly opened, and a left arm was thrown away, leaving only an empty sleeve floating there. Old Eunuch Lu, who was covered with a layer of black air on his face, walked in quickly. As soon as he entered the door, he lay down and howled bitterly: "Your Majesty, I have stolen my life and come back to see you. Your Majesty, you want to be the master of the old slave. I have followed Your Majesty for the rest of my life. When have you ever suffered such a great loss? Your Majesty is not in the palace, and those monsters and monsters are also bold and actually ran to the palace to kill people."
Zhu Di looked at the empty sleeves of the old eunuch Lu, and his face became extremely ugly. He shouted gloomyly: "Eunuch Lu, get up first. I have already been concerned about your affairs. Lu Qing's family, you should have swept all the thieves in Yingtian City? Did you find anything?"
The old eunuch Lu, who was lying on the ground, heard Zhu Di's voice and immediately got up. The tears on his face evaporated miraculously. He stood behind Zhu Di well and looked at Zhu Xi, Zhu Yu and Lu Feng with a smile on his face. Of course, the vicious poisonous light flashing in his eyes made Zhu Yu shudder and subconsciously shouted in his heart: "The conscience of heaven and earth, I have not sent anyone to assassinate you, an old monster. You, don't cause trouble for me. I am angry now, don't cause trouble for me."
Lu Feng respectfully stepped forward and replied: "Your Majesty, I have killed 2,372 people in the city today, captured 355 people alive, seized... 1,300 military crossbows, countless military weapons, and soft armor. Hey, there are some letters and so on. I have handed over those letters to Dali Temple. There are only a few special ones here, so please check it out." Lu Feng immediately handed over several letters to Zhu Di's table.
Zhu Di glanced at the letter, and his palm suddenly burst out, and immediately shook the letter to shatter. He looked back calmly and said to the old eunuch Lu: "Eunuch Lu, you are suffering this time. I have already made up my mind. Well, in the court today, I have overwhelmed the congress and decided to gradually move the capital to Peiping Prefecture. There is a lack of a construction director. He is in charge of all the wealthy businessmen in the world, the city transformation, the transportation of food, grass, gold and silver, the management of civil servants and civil servants, etc. This position is extremely important and can mobilize 70% of the manpower and material resources of the Ming Dynasty."
The old eunuch Lu's eyes lit up and immediately said, "Your Majesty, this position has too much authority, so I am afraid that someone you trust can take charge of it. Otherwise, if gold and silver are too much, there will be corruption and fraud. If that person is a slander, he will not harm officials from all over the country and urge food and supplies, causing public resentment." But, moving the capital will definitely alarm the officials of all counties and prefectures, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the materials, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, have to be transferred immediately if they are not effective. If there is too much power in their hands, the more they will be involved.
Zhu Di smiled and looked confident: "I have such thoughts, so I am preparing to entrust someone I trust the most to take on this important matter. Lu Qing's family is loyal, upright, selfless, and is my most caring person. He is also Xi'er's confidant. It is the most appropriate to have him run this position... Especially the Jinyiwei is in charge of the supervision of officials in the world, and they are all urging officials to urge them to be afraid that someone will commit favoritism and fraud?"
The old eunuch Lu suddenly calmed down and he never mentioned the broken left arm again. He knew that Zhu Di also knew that his left arm was cut off by those two high men. However, since his adopted son Lu Feng got such a big deal out of thin air, he could make up for it. The construction director seemed to be just a supervisor, but it involved a lot. If Lu Feng managed it well, he would have a wide range of connections in all aspects in the future, which would only benefit and not harm his future.
Can you still be dissatisfied with this? I was so satisfied. This arrangement made Old Eunuch Lu laugh, so he didn't say anything. Isn't it just a left arm? What is this? So even though he understood that Zhu Di was intentionally trying to vague this matter, he accepted it. After all, Zhu Ren and Zhu Di were Zhu Di's own son. Since Zhu Di even destroyed their letters, he obviously wanted to fool this matter. Since he had already used such a large position as compensation, what else did Old Eunuch Lu say? He was very clear about his identity.
On the other side, Lu Feng had already knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I am really panicked in my heart. I also ask the emperor to take responsibility for this task of creating the director. I will give you all my strength to assist you." This is the skill of the store, and you can't say that you have appointed an important position. You can take it with you immediately, right? This will make the superiors unhappy. Be a little humble and refuse. This is the way to be a minister.
In fact, Lu Feng really likes this new position. The director has the power to mobilize any required materials and manpower in the entire process of moving the capital, which is basically equivalent to another independent combination of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel. In this way, even if Lu Feng wants to build something more outside the city of Peking, he asks officials from all over the country to provide some precious ore, extract various strange metals, and melt them into several small dragons. It would be too easy. As long as you pull the account book, who knows that these things have happened?
Zhu Xi smiled so much that his teeth were exposed. He quickly stood up and knelt on the ground and said, "Father, Lord Lu holds this position, which is the most appropriate. My son is still worried that one person's strength is not enough to take on this great task, but with Lord Lu's help, he will not have to worry about anything." He was so happy in his heart. Taking this opportunity, Lu Feng took the opportunity to take stock of the officials in various prefectures and counties in the world, and operated his Zhu Xi's power. After taking over the position in the future, it would be easier for him to control the world.
Zhu Li's face became even more ugly. How could this be the director of construction? It was clearly the imperial envoy, and it was the imperial envoy who was directly controlled by Zhu Xi. Especially Lu Feng, who was in charge of this position, I am afraid that it was not Zhu Li, who was close to Zhu Ren, would be replaced by Lu Feng's search for a mistake? Zhu Li was so angry, but how could he dare to say anything in front of Zhu Di? He could only keep glancing at Lu Feng, thinking about when he would have to find a master to clear Lu Feng away.
Zhu Di saw Zhu Zi's appearance and couldn't help but hum quickly: "Yu'er, what are you thinking? My father told you that after you go back this time, you will clean up all the bandits in your own territory, so as to save them from coming to Yingtian Mansion every day and causing trouble for me... You can also tell your third brother that everyone on your own territory should be more careful." Zhu Di sneered, "This time, my father has cleaned up those bandits for you. Next time, you will have to clean up yourself."
After pausing for a moment, Zhu Di gently patted Zhu Zhanji's little head and sighed: "You and Ren'er, you should leave some room for work... Lu Qing's family, those powerful crossbows, etc., you should return them to the Ministry of War. Just find a few scapegoats to cut them off, and don't completely clean the Ministry of War. These people are also confused. Humph, you must know that they are doing things for me, not for my son. It's enough to warn them."
Lu Feng bowed to take the order, Zhu Di thought for a while, and continued, "Besides, since you are going to be the construction director, you have to run back and forth between Peking Mansion and Yingtian Mansion. The Jinyiwei has been missing too much manpower recently, so I am afraid that some things will be overwhelmed. Since the Dong Factory, the Dong Factory, who is in charge of supervisor Li, has already reached a scale, let the Dong Factory cooperate with the Jinyiwei and supervise officials from all over the country. Well, this matter is, Manager Lu, you can handle it later. The Jinyiwei is also doing things for me, and the Dong Factory is also doing things for me. Lu Qing's family and Manager Li are also in love, so they don't distinguish between each other."
The old eunuch Lu and Lu Feng took the order at the same time. They knew in their hearts that Zhu Di was creating momentum for Zhu Xi. Zhu Di also hoped that Zhu Xi could have a few reliable people who could check and balance each other. He could not put all the power on Lu Feng, right? So now it is a need for checks and balances that Xiao Lizi's Dongchang and Lu Feng's Jinyiwei suddenly put together.
After a few easy words, Zhu Di made an arrangement for the future political direction. Then he leaned on the seat easily, looked at Lu Feng with a smile and said, "Lu Qing family, I haven't asked carefully, what's the scars on your face? Hehe, I know the skills of the Lu Qing family. Could it be that he was really scratched by a cat? Wouldn't it take a thousand-year-old fairy to do it?" Zhu Di couldn't help laughing out loud when he said this.
Lu Feng was very embarrassed, and Zhu Xi looked at him with a smile, without any intention of rescuing him. After sighing, Lu Feng knelt helplessly on the ground and replied: "Your Majesty, I... I recently met a woman I love and was about to marry her, but a villain was instigating me. There was a fire in my backyard... The scars on my face were really... I was scratched by... She. I am ashamed. This kind of thing is really hard to say."
Zhu Di, Zhu Xi, the old eunuch Lu and the Li Zi at the door laughed at the same time. It was really not easy to see Lu Feng eating turtles. Even Zhu Li's dull and gloomy face couldn't help but smile. Lu Feng spread his hands helplessly and said innocently: "Your Majesty, you must know that there are no kind and simple people in the subordinates, especially Shui Yuanzi and Li Hu. This time it was because of his deliberate provocation that led to..."
Zhu Di patted the dragon case and said with a smile: "Forget it, there is no need to explain the Lu Qing family. I guess the Lu Qing family's great achievements in the past were found in the brothel and the lady learned that the Lion Roar in Hedong made the Lu Qing family... Hehe, it turns out that the Lu Qing family is also afraid of the inner people." The word "Ye" is used very cleverly. Zhu Di seemed to have noticed his own words and hurriedly concealed: "Forget it, forgot, for this, in a few days, Xi'er will go to Lu Qing's house to see if it is the lady of the He family, which can make my subordinates bow down and surrender."
Old Eunuch Lu wrinkled his thin dry lips and laughed loudly with Zhu Di at the same time. He smiled happily. Well, Lu Feng is looking for his wife? That's great, the Lu family has seen someone in succession. Old Eunuch Lu thought that it seemed that he had to add more effort to let Lu Feng gain more power, and he had to lay the foundation for his grandson, right?
Lu Feng, with an awkward expression, hurriedly retreated and ran out of the palace almost fled. He made up his mind that even if he spent a divine pill, he would immediately calm the scars on his face. What is this? Why did even the emperor join in and make fun of him? Could it be that he was scratched by a woman, so worthy of their laughter? However, he accidentally obtained an official position with great authority, which was also an unexpected gain today.
Lu Feng, who was depressed, rode his horse back to the headquarters of the Jinyiwei with dozens of guards. Just as he was about to call the door, he heard the "puff" sound of a sharp sword slashing into the human body. Lu Feng and others were shocked. Just as they were ready to face the enemy, they saw eight wet heads breaking through the gate and flying straight out of the yard. Lu Feng looked closely and saw that the eight heads were reddish-brown skin and thick and long hair. They were not Fire Armor, but who were the eight people including Water Armor?
Who is so powerful? With one sword, all the masters of the eight divine stages died? Lu Feng couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. However, he saw a blue-robed handsome man walking out of the broken door with his sword and bowing to Lu Feng: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, I came to surrender to you. These eight people are rude to me, and I have all killed me." His eyes rolled, and there were three pupils in his eyes.
