I was Idle and Cool Chapter 82: Curve to save the country

"Retreat --"

A resounding singing came from the High Hall of Supreme Harmony, and it pulled back her thoughts.

The Empress Dowager Ji, who was sitting first, was still talking to Princess Yongning and Empress Shen, so Lu Jinxi realized that she had been distracted for a while.

Fortunately, no one noticed.

When the voice of "retreat" came, Empress Dowager Ji and the others naturally stopped talking and looked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

From their position, they can see the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The ministers filed out from the door, all dressed neatly, but the expressions on each person's face were different.

Some of them walked alone, while others walked together in twos and threes, talking while walking.

For Lu Jinxi, most of the ministers who came out were fresh faces.

There are only a few familiar faces, namely Liu Jin, Admiral of the Nine Sects, Gu Chengqian, the imperial prefect, and a thinner white-bearded old man walking beside Gu Chengqian. The official uniform should be the Grand Fu Wei Bing. done.

When Gu Juefei came out, she saw it at a glance.

Hanlin Academy Xiuzhuan grade 6 official uniform was worn on him, but it did not damage his appearance at all.

Looking at it like this, I actually felt that the snow-white egret embroidered on it had the **** of a crane.

His face, which was carefully sculpted by God, showed no trace of anger and frustration.

It's like, at the court meeting a moment ago, the person who was just a stone's throw away from the position of the exam examiner had nothing to do with him;

It seems that the person who caused this loss was not his father who was a high-ranking and noble teacher.

Gu Juefei is still the indifferent Gu Juefei, even if you look closely, you can still find a faint smile on his lips.

Gu Chengqian walked ahead of him, but he didn't catch up, and Gu Chengqian didn't stop to say the first half of the sentence to him.

Others may think that the father and son are avoiding suspicion?

But Gu Juefei knew very well that since the night he opened the ancestral hall, he said in front of Gu Chengqian that he wanted to marry Lu Jinxi, and the relationship between the father and son was almost broken.

It's just that he didn't even think about it. Gu Chengqian could actually do such a thing.

As the imperial master of the dynasty, even if he didn't form a party or be selfish, who would dare to take it as a joke?

With just a few words, I objected to Xiao Che's appointment as an examiner.

In the future, you can easily imagine seeing each other without too much thinking—

No matter what he wants to do, Gu Chengqian will be the first to object.

Right now, I'm just a skilled examiner, so what? There will be more and more in the future.

Gu Juefei smiled indifferently.

At this time, a shout suddenly came from behind, and someone took two steps to catch up: "Nephew, nephew!"

Call yourself?

Gu Juefei was stunned for a moment, then stopped, and looked back, it turned out to be Lu Jiuling, Lu Jinxi's biological father.

"Master Lu, this is you?"

"Hey, fortunately I'll stop you, otherwise I really won't be able to catch up."

It wasn't that Gu Juefei walked fast, it was that Lu Jiuling was getting old, and his legs were not particularly neat, and he came out late, so he took two steps.

"Emperor Fangcai said at the court that the Ministry of Rites was responsible for the hospitality of the Xiongnu envoys while they were in Beijing. We could have fought with the Xiongnu all the year round. How could we have thought about today? However, few people in the Ministry of Rites knew about the Xiongnu.”

Lu Jiuling is now the Minister of Rites. He is a classmate and the same year as Gu Chengqian, but his ability is much worse than Gu Chengqian.

In essence, Lu Jiuling is a scholar.

Fortunately, the emperor assigned him to the Ministry of Rites, which was just right. But in the case of the Great Xia Huns negotiating peace, his ability is not enough.

Gu Juefei listened and understood what Lu Jiuling meant: "Do you want me to help?"

"Yes."

Lu Jiuling sighed, actually a little embarrassed.

"You also know that the Ministry of Rites here are all obtained through imperial examinations, and most of them look down on the Xiongnu side, and they don't understand the taboos there. But I know that, nephew, you traveled to the world and stayed at the border. For a long time, I also wrote a manuscript related to the customs of the Xiongnu. Look, take a moment today and help me take a look at it?"

The Hun envoys...

After all, it is a two-state peace negotiation. I hope that many details are in place, and I don't want to ruin the major event of the two-state peace negotiation because of small things.

Gu Juefei knows this.

Only at this moment, the person who made this request to him turned out to be Lu Jiuling, an outsider who had nothing to do with him.

Empty has great talents, but unfortunately there is nowhere to stretch.

When Gu Juefei thinks about it, she feels very pitiful.

He did not reject Lu Jiuling, but said: "Mr. Lu is very polite, Juefei is now teaching your grandson, Young Master Xue, in the afternoon. In fact, he is an idler and has nothing to do. If it is convenient for you, I will take care of you after the reconciliation banquet. Come and help you."

"That's good!"

Lu Jiuling breathed a sigh of relief and became happy.

"It's better than this, when the time comes, you should go back to the Grand Master's mansion first, and simply bring my grandson to my mansion. Don't delay the two things!"

Lu Jiuling is Lu Jinxi's father, naturally Xue Chi's grandfather.

He never liked the Xue family, and he complained a lot about Xue Kuang, who kept his daughter a widow, but he liked Xue Chi very much.

After all, this child is half his daughter's blood.

A while ago I heard that the kid passed away and worshipped Mr. Gu Juefeiwei, and Lu Jiuling was also happy for a while.

It's just the water spilled by the daughter who married after all.

It's even more troublesome to meet my daughter, and even more troublesome to meet my grandson.

So when Gu Juefei mentioned Xue Chi, Lu Jiuling immediately came up with the idea and couldn't hold back.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Gu Juefei expectantly.

The smile on Gu Juefei's lips deepened a little, but of course he agreed: "Master Lu is very right. Later that day, Juefei will bring Young Master Xue to visit."

"Good, good, good!"

Lu Jiuling was very satisfied at once, her face was full of smiles, and she looked at Gu Juefei for a while, how she looked pleasing to the eye, how good she looked.

Such a good son, how can Gu Chengqian be so ruthless and tossed like this?

He couldn't help but hug Gu Juefei to the sky, looked at Gu Chengqian who was already walking towards the arranged table, and finally sighed, and patted while walking. his shoulders.

"Hey, speaking of which, don't take this matter to your heart. Your father has always been far-sighted and won't let you be a skilled examiner. Maybe he has other plans. After you go back, or Find a chance to have a good talk."

Talk?

Are you going to marry the widow of a murdered loyal minister?

Gu Juefei can't actually answer this question, but in the face of Lu Jiuling's sincere comfort and advice, he still nodded: "Father must have his intentions, please rest assured, Master Lu, I'm not that stubborn. Yu Huai."

"That's fine, that's fine."

When Lu Jiuling heard what he said, she felt a little relieved. She just wiped the beautiful beard hanging from her chin and laughed again.

"Besides, even if it can't be solved, it's not a big deal. Once the negotiation is settled, all matters related to the Xiongnu, both inside and outside, will be handled by the Ministry of Rites here. People. Actually, I thought about going back to the emperor and calling you in, but I was afraid that I would be too talented, and I was afraid that your father had other arrangements for you. So I never dared to mention it."

Ministry of Rites?

Gu Juefei paused for a while, but was suddenly opened to a different mind by what Lu Jiuling said.

Thousands of considerations flashed across the depths of my mind in an instant.

"Is this true, Mr. Lu?"

Consideration, but only for a moment. The next moment, Gu Juefei had returned to normal, so fast that no one could see it, so he just asked Lu Jiuling with a smile.

Lu Jiuling has always been cherishing talents, and only guessed what conflicts should be between their father and son. But no matter how many contradictions there are, it shouldn't be a joke about the future of Gu Juefei, a pillar of talent.

"A gentleman's words are hard to follow, of course it is true. And your father has already refuted you once, and the second refutation is too much, and the emperor may not agree to him. What's more, there is indeed a shortage of people here in the Ministry of Rites. Looking at the civil and military affairs of the dynasty, who can be competent?"

Lu Jiuling almost slapped her chest, and the analysis between the words is not without reason.

"Seriously, if you agree, I'll ask for the order the next day."

"I..."

Gu Juefei wants to speak.

Unexpectedly, Lu Jiuling waved her hand and said: "I know you are in a difficult position, and I am afraid that your father will be angry, but he is responsible for this matter. You can think about it, just give me an answer later. ."

“…”

It turns out that this old man actually thought he was in a dilemma, hesitating and thinking about it?

That's right.

Everyone thinks that the errands of the Ministry of Rites are nothing to be rushed, and that's the way they are left and right. But now it's different. The peace talks are already unstoppable, and there will be a lot of things related to the two countries.

Border residents, mutual market, taxation, which is not the most important thing?

At present, I am afraid that few people in the government and the opposition realize that this will become one of the most important parts of the government in the future.

Or, as long as it's caught, he's sure to make it that part.

Gu Juefei couldn't help but smile. Since the other party had misunderstood, he wouldn't bother to correct it, he just followed Lu Jiuling's words: "Then Juefei will reply to you another day, and thank you for your appreciation..."

"Hey, what kind of recognition is that?"

Lu Jiuling quickly waved her hand.

Gu Juefei is a really talented person. He's called Zhanguang, but he doesn't want this old face when he says that he appreciates it.

"Anyway, you have to take your time on these matters in the courtroom. I'm a fool myself, and I can't tell you anything. Just think about it for yourself."

Lu Jiuling just walked like this, while exhorting.

Gu Juefei listened, nodded, and walked with him to the food table arranged in front of the hall.

As soon as I raised my eyes, I saw Gu Chengqian, who had walked to the first case on the left, with a wrinkled face and a bit of anger, just staring at him who was talking to Lu Jiuling .

Angry?

With just one thought, Gu Juefei wanted to understand the reason: He should have thought that he was deliberately approaching Lu Jiuling, or Lu Jinxi's father, right?

But it's not bad.

With a distance in the middle, Gu Juefei showed a faint smile to Gu Chengqian, and then walked towards his position under the guidance of the palace servant next to him.

Over there, Lu Jinxi's expression finally became a little weird.

Gu Juefei actually walked with Lu Jiuling to talk...

And if she read it right just now, when she was talking to Lu Jiuling, the smile on this guy's lips was really familiar, and it was so familiar that she was thrilled.

It's clearly trying to trick people.

This guy, even the old man has a routine, does he have any humanity?

Inexplicably, Lu Jinxi felt a little uneasy.

Gu Juefei let go of the cruel words that he wanted to marry her, and now he has a very happy talk with her father, Lu Jiuling.

What do you think, how can you not be happy.

Don't have developed some kind of policy of saving the country by curve, are you going to brush the favorability of the future old husband first?

She couldn't help but murmured in her heart.

Just seeing Gu Juefei's composure as usual, as if nothing had happened in the court before, with a graceful appearance, her previous worries that had arisen for no reason and that she didn't even notice, quietly disappeared. Go down, leaving no trace.

"The Emperor arrives—"

With the resounding resounding singing of Zhou Dequan, the chief eunuch, everyone immediately knelt down, long live the mountain.

"Congratulations to the emperor, long live my emperor!"

——The ceremony of reconciliation has finally begun.
