Phoenix Hairpin: The son-in-law (2)

Genius for a second to remember the address of this site: []https://The fastest update! No ads!

On the second day, King Xingyang entered the palace early.

It was Li Jing, who drank alcohol the night before. It was absurd in the middle of the night, an hour later than usual.

Hearing that his father-in-law had been waiting for an audience in the Funing Hall, Li Jing felt a little guilty.

Lu Lin was not in a hurry at all, and calmly greeted the emperor who came quickly with sweat on his forehead: "I have seen the emperor."

There is only one empress in the harem, and the emperor is not just pampering other beauties. He wished his son-in-law and daughter had a good relationship.

Li Jing hurriedly helped Lu Lin up with a smile, and explained with a shy face: "I drank a lot last night, and I got up a little late today."

Father-in-law didn't mind at all, but his father-in-law smiled: "I didn't wait long."

Li Jing smiled cheekily and took his father-in-law to the imperial study.

This is where Li Jing usually studies, and all the servants have been sent out, but Weng and his son-in-law sit and talk to each other, which is much more intimate and casual. Li Jing also refused to call himself "Zheng", and smiled affectionately: "My father-in-law led the army abroad for more than a year and fought a lot of battles. Let me hear it."

Lu Lin is also interesting. No matter what Li Jing calls him, he is still an emperor.

It's just a little bit of gossip.

Until Eunuch Xiaoyuan reported back and forth: "Report to the emperor, several ministers have important political reports."

The Great Wei has a vast territory and daily state affairs are complicated. The Son of Heaven alone cannot handle so many political affairs. All memorials are advanced cabinet. The cabinet ministers looked at it first, picked out the important ones, and presented them to the imperial front.

If there is an extraordinarily important matter, it must be reported and discussed in person. So basically there are small chapels every day.

Li Jing said apologetically to Lu Lin: "I wanted to accompany my father-in-law for half a day. I never thought about it, and there is another political event coming."

Lu Lin smiled and said: "State affairs are important. The minister has returned to the capital. In the future, when the emperor wants to see the minister, the minister can enter the palace at any time."

That's true.

Li Jing smiled and said casually, "Father-in-law, don't rush to go back. Since you're entering the palace, let's go to Jiaofang Palace. We will have dinner with Xiaoyu at noon."

This proposal is exactly what Lu Lin wanted.

Yesterday, the father and daughter reunited. They only met once. In just a few words, he went to the palace banquet. When I have free time today, I can sit and have lunch with my daughter for an hour or two.

This is the greatest reward for him.

Lu Lin readily responded: "The foreign ministers entered the harem, and the palace rules were not in harmony. The emperor kindly allowed the ministers to enter the Jiaofang Palace to visit the queen's concubine, and the ministers would shamelessly go back."

At this hour, Lu Mingyu just finished handling the palace affairs.

Lu Mingyu was overjoyed when she heard that her father was coming, with a smile in her black eyes, she walked out quickly to greet her.

Lu Lin acted comprehensively, never relied on pampering and spoiling others, and insisted on honoring his ministers. Lu Mingyu couldn't beat his father, so he had to let Lu Lin bow before reaching out to help his father.

The father and daughter are seated separately.

Lu Mingyu said with a smile: "I'll let someone prepare lunch, and Dad will stay for lunch at noon today."

Lu Lin smiled and said, "I didn't plan to go back on an empty stomach when I came here."

These words were witty and witty, and Qiyun on the side pursed her lips and chuckled. Goodbye master, with a smile on the corners of his eyes and brows.

It's been a long time since I was so happy.

The father and daughter don't talk about war or government affairs. At noon, all three siblings came, and Li Jing came back to accompany his father-in-law to dinner.

Lu Lin felt great relief.

No matter how much you ask, you can't see it with your own eyes.

Li Jing became the emperor, and his attitude towards Lu Mingyu remained the same as before. While serving Lu Mingyu some vegetables, and then wiping the corners of his youngest son's mouth with a handkerchief, the husband and wife looked at each other and smiled from time to time.

……

Three days later, Lu Lin made a memorial that shocked all the ministers.

The Xingyang army fought for more than a year to quell the rebellion of Yan and Chu, and made great contributions. There were also many casualties. By convention, new recruits should be recruited after the war to replenish the troops.

Lu Lin's memorial is just the opposite. It is to return the veterans who are over 40 years old to their hometowns.

In the military, a veteran soldier is worth three recruits. Even Puyang Marquis was so shocked that his eyes widened, looking at Lu Lin with the same eyes as a fool.

Most of the 20,000 soldiers sent by the Zhao family were recruits. The real elite soldiers were left behind. Therefore, he gave up the 20,000 soldiers, although his heart ached, he would not hurt his bones. In the future, if you want to expand the force, you can recruit new recruits, and you can use veterans to lead new recruits.

The king of Xingyang is too real, he wants to disperse all the veterans, this is going to cut himself off!

Li Jing, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was also startled by his father-in-law's actions.

Before Weng's son-in-law had two gossips, but his father-in-law didn't mention a word! Why did it suddenly go up?

Li Jing was confused and didn't know what to say for a while.

Lu Lin had already made up his mind. At this time, his expression was calm and he talked eloquently: "The first emperor fought for more than ten years to pacify the territory of Great Wei. Now the rebellion of Yan and Chu has been settled, and the four seas are calm. There is no need for so many troops in the army. "

"I want to return the veterans to their hometowns, and I am also sympathetic to them for fighting year after year. Now that they are old, they should also be allowed to return to their hometowns, marry wives and have children, and have some happy birthdays."

"To repatriate the veterans, it will cost a lot of money to resettle. This matter will have to be taken care of by Gao Shangshu and Yang Shangshu."

Hubu Gao Shangshu recovered from the shock, and immediately said: "King Xingyang has made a serious statement. This is a matter within the minister's duty, and I dare not say that it is hard."

At least half of the silver in the Great Wei treasury was used to support soldiers.

From the Ministry of Household's standpoint, I really wish the fewer troops the better.

However, we can't just reduce our strength. Without a strong army and force, once there is a rebellion, it will destroy the country. How to balance, that is the matter of the Son of Heaven.

Qiao Ge considered it for a while, then opened his mouth and said: "The old minister thinks that what King Xingyang said is quite reasonable. Please, the emperor should answer the request of King Xingyang and order the veterans to return home."

Speaking, he glanced at Puyang Hou.

Marquis of Puyang: "..."

See what he does~IndoMTL.com~ He's not that stupid!

Besides, he has given up 20,000 Zhao family troops and stayed in Yanchu as a garrison. I still want to cut his flesh!

Puyang Hou snorted in his heart, but Quan Dang didn't see Qiao Ge's meaningful attention.

Luo Shangshu has always been in the same camp as Qiao Ge, and Qiao Ge opened his mouth. Luo Shangshu couldn't let go, so he immediately handed over to play: "This minister agrees, please make the emperor's decree."

The emperor on the dragon chair looked at his father-in-law with complicated eyes. He was silent for a long time before he said: "The memorial of King Xingyang, I have it!"

The ministers breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Lin also secretly praised in his heart.

Family is one thing, imperial power is another. In order to stabilize the imperial power, one has to be ruthless and make the right decisions when necessary.

If you can see through this, Li Jingcai is a qualified emperor.
