This martial artist just wants to be an official

Chapter 513: Selecting a Prime Minister
In response to his uncle's words, Lu Yuanzhi just sighed and shook his head:
"But the Imperial Master never told me."

"hehe."

The uncle smiled and nodded, saying, "You don't have to worry. I can feel that the Imperial Master thinks highly of you. Just walk your own path step by step."

"Ah."

He felt a lot more relieved after his uncle helped him resolve his worries.

"So before I leave, you must take the position of Prime Minister?"

Lu Yuanzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at his uncle.

Seeing the teasing on Lu Yuanzhi's face, the uncle's old face turned red, but after a dry cough, he still said:
"What else? Give this position to that old guy Lin Fu?"

The eldest uncle said unhappily, "As a relative by marriage, if he takes the position of Prime Minister again, will the whole world be ruled by the Lin family?"

When Lu Yuanzhi heard this, his heart moved slightly, and a strange smile appeared on his face:

"It's impossible to have the surname Lin, but if you want the world to have the surname Hai, I, your nephew, can help you."

As soon as these words came out, the uncle was stunned for a moment. He trembled all over, and then looked at Lu Yuanzhi angrily and said:

"How dare you say such unjust words to me, you little bastard! Shut up!"

After he finished speaking, his breathing became as heavy as an old ox plowing the field.

It can be seen that my uncle was really angry about this sentence.

Lu Yuanzhi curled his lips: "You say that, but your heartbeat obviously accelerated after I spoke just now!"

"That's because I was scared by you!" The uncle glared at Lu Yuanzhi.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Just let someone tell me when we go to court in two days. I will stand up and agree then."

Lu Yuanzhi laughed and got off the carriage.

"Damn it."

Looking at Lu Yuanzhi's back, the uncle took a deep breath, then grinned to himself:
"This kid has grown up."

……

Lu Yuanzhi naturally had no idea about his uncle's feelings.

After returning to the yamen, Lu Yuanzhi directly asked someone to call Li Jin to his room.

"Li Jin."

Lu Yuanzhi looked at the respectful Li Jin with a smile.

"My subordinate is here."

Li Jin was wondering what Mr. Lu wanted him to do, but when he heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and obeyed.

"I'm going to the border in a few days."

Lu Yuanzhi said.

what?
Li Jin suddenly raised his head and his face immediately turned bitter.

With Lu Yuanzhi around, Pei Yinlang could act without any scruples.

But if Lu Yuanzhi left the capital, he would definitely suffer if no one supported him.

"Ah for what?"

Lu Yuanzhi glared at him and continued:
"After I leave, you have to study hard in Peiyinlang, understand?"

"Yes!"

Lu Yuanzhi's words made Li Jin straighten his back.

Let yourself learn?
This is obvious enough.

I'm almost saying that I'm not in the capital, so please help me take care of Pei Yinlang's affairs first.

This is clearly decentralization!

"That Lord Lu, the matter of the harem..."

Li Jin hesitated for a moment, wanting to speak out what was in his heart.

"You don't have to worry about it."

Lu Yuanzhi smiled and shook his head, saying calmly: "You don't need to worry about the affairs of the harem for now, just wait for me to come back if there is any situation."

"My subordinate understands."

Li Jin was visibly relieved after hearing this.

He had never wanted to get involved in the affairs of the court or the palace in the first place, so being told not to get involved was a good thing for him.

"Okay, it's nothing, you can go down."

Lu Yuanzhi stretched, then stood up and walked out.

"Yes."

Li Jin followed behind Lu Yuanzhi, walking respectfully.

After going downstairs, Lu Yuanzhi flew home.

He can’t say that he has no worries in the capital now. Since he has become more and more proficient in flying, he rarely rides a horse.

He would only choose to ride in a carriage if he encountered something important.

"The master is back!"

When he got home, the doorman shouted excitedly into the yard as usual.

The servants also became nervous.

Lu Yuanzhi was already used to these things. He took a quick look and after finding nothing was wrong, he walked towards the house.

Now his two children are almost one year old.

Although he still cannot have a normal conversation with others, he has already started to babble and can call people by simple names like mom and dad.

"came back?"

After seeing Lu Yuan, Changle came to him with a smile, took the child from the nanny's hands, and handed it to Lu Yuanzhi:
"My son misses you."

Lu Yuanzhi took the child with a smile on his face:

"You're so young, how can you be so clingy?"

"I know, I know. Now he can't leave his wet nurse any more."

Changle retorted, pointing at the nurse who was standing aside a little restrained:
"I won't even let you hug me now."

"Then why don't you get closer to him."

Lu Yuanzhi rolled his eyes, looked at the delicate little baby in his arms, and a smile appeared on his face from the bottom of his heart.

This kid looks exactly like me.

"I'm so tired. My back and waist ache after hugging you for a while."

Changle came over with a smile, hugged Lu Yuanzhi's arm and said:
"I think you should go to the government less often and stay at home more with me and the children."

……

Lu Yuanzhi wanted to open his mouth to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

He came back to tell Changle and Qingying that he was going to the border.

This time, Changle acted coquettishly and swallowed all the words in his mind.

"This is natural, haha, this is natural."

Lu Yuanzhi smiled guiltily and pretended to look at the child in his arms:

"Why is this child always sleeping? Daddy is here, but he doesn't even open his eyes to look at me."

Changle glanced at Lu Yuanyi with a reproachful look:
"How many times a day can you be home? The child may be young but he can recognize people. If you don't come back, the child will not recognize you as his father sooner or later."

"Uh hehe, that's what you said, hehe."

Lu Yuanzhi suffered a setback in Changle's place, so after chatting for a few minutes, he walked towards the side room.

Bai Qingying was quite free, she was watering the flowers.

In the Duke's Mansion, she had servants to serve her every day, and her child had two wet nurses, so she hardly had to look after the child herself. She simply tended flowers and practiced martial arts in the yard every day.

"Are you free?"

Lu Yuanzhi's figure gradually approached, and after looking at Bai Qingying, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

Hearing this familiar voice, Bai Qingying paused, and looked up in surprise. As expected, she saw the person she had been dreaming about:
"My husband is back? He came back quite early today."

"Haha, I've finished dealing with the affairs in the government office, so I came back. Where's the little guy?"

"Inside the house." Bai Qingying put down the tools in her hand and walked to Lu Yuanzhi.

"Go, go and have a look."

Lu Yuanzhi smiled and took Bai Qingying's hand and walked towards the house.

There were still some servants around. Although Bai Qingying had already obeyed Lu Yuanzhi and had given birth to his child, she was still a little shy when Lu Yuanzhi held her hand so unscrupulously. She lowered her head and followed behind Lu Yuanzhi without saying a word.

"hehe."

Feeling Bai Qingying's shyness, Lu Yuanzhi just chuckled. Although he was used to Bai Qingying's personality, he still found it very interesting every time.

He gently helped Bai Qingying tidy up her messy hair, and the two walked to the bed.

"I've met the master."

When the wet nurses in the room saw Lu Yuanzhi coming in, they all knelt down respectfully and saluted.

"No need to be polite, let me see the number."

Lu Yuanzhi smiled and shook his head.

His two children were also named.

The one from Changle is Lu Hongli.

Bai Qingying's name is Lu Hongshu.

The word "courtesy" is chosen because I hope these two children will not be like me, who becomes arrogant after gaining power...

"This is still a child..."

After Lu Yuanzhi laid his eyes on Hong Shu's face, he did not know whether to laugh or cry. This child was not as quiet as his brother. He had a pair of small round eyes that looked straight at him.

"Boy, call me daddy."

Lu Yuanzhi looked at the one-year-old boy with a smile.

"Dad, chuckle~"

Although the child is only at the babbling age, one can already see his clever nature in his eyes.

"Haha, good boy!"

When Lu Yuanzhi picked up the boy, the smile on his face became more intense, and his round little head rubbed back and forth on Lu Yuanzhi's arm affectionately.

"Still sticky to me."

Lu Yuanzhi was extremely satisfied. He looked at the boy and praised him happily:

"This child looks smart. He will be both a scholar and a warrior when he grows up."

"As long as you like him."

Bai Qingying felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey, as if she was being praised.

"How could I not like my own son?"

Lu Yuanzhi laughed, lifted the child up in the air and said:
"Daddy is going to the north, so don't get angry with your mother at home. Wait for Daddy to come back and teach you martial arts!"

How could the kid understand so much? He just looked at Lu Yuanzhi and giggled.

But Bai Qingying, who was standing nearby, heard these words clearly.

Her bright eyes suddenly dimmed, and the smile on her face froze a little.

After a long while, she asked bitterly:

"Still leaving the capital?"

Lu Yuanzhi, who was holding the child, replied casually:
"Wait a few days, but this time it's about the demon tribe and southern border, so it should take longer."

"how long?"

Bai Qingying pursed her lips, looked up and asked.

"do not know."

Lu Yuanzhi shook his head, handed the child back to the wet nurse, turned around and looked at Bai Qingying.

At this moment, Bai Qingying was like a crumbling lotus, standing there looking at Lu Yuanzhi reluctantly.

"You're not leaving now, why are you crying?"

Lu Yuanzhi was heartbroken, and hurried forward, hugged Bai Qingying in his arms, and gently wiped the tears from his face:
"Your crying makes me feel a little overwhelmed."

"It's Qingying's fault."

Bai Qingying quickly broke free from Lu Yuanzhi's arms, wiping the tears from her face, looking pitiful.

"Look at my mouth. If I had known you would do this, I wouldn't have told you."

Lu Yuanzhi sighed, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"No, my husband is fighting for the country, which is a good thing for the country and the people. Qingying will never stop her husband for her own love. But when I think about you being away for a long time, my heart... is really painful."

Bai Qingying never felt wronged, and she rarely felt wronged. She just blamed herself for not having the great ability to be able to stay by her husband's side.

"Just a few little things."

Lu Yuanzhi could only pat Bai Qingying's delicate shoulders gently to comfort her.

…………

"Your Majesty, the traitor Li Zhen has been executed for many days. The country cannot be without ministers for a day. I ask Your Majesty to appoint a new minister to share the country's worries."

At the morning court session, as soon as the second prince arrived in the hall, he saw a minister whom he rarely saw standing out from among the ministers and looking at him seriously.

coming.

Hearing this, the second prince knew that this was directed at him.

He glanced calmly at Hai Rui who was standing among the ministers.

At this time, Hai Rui looked at the minister who spoke with surprise, as if he did not expect his words.

Installed.

The second prince sneered in his heart. How could he not see that Hai Rui was pretending?

The person who spoke was from your Ministry of Rites, how could you not know?
"What Wang Aiqing said is absolutely true."

The Second Prince had indeed considered this issue, but as for the selection of candidates...

He really didn't want it to be Hai Rui.

But Hai Rui was not the only one standing in the hall.

The second prince set his eyes on the young figure standing first on the left.

Lu Yuanzhi smiled and just looked at the ground in front of him, as if he didn't hear the sounds just now.

"I don't know. As for the Prime Minister, do you have any suitable candidate in mind?"

The second prince looked at the ministers in the hall with an expressionless face.

After hearing the second prince's words, no one would speak at this time.

Anyone who speaks at this time is a fool.

The hall was quiet for a long time.

The Second Prince was getting a little impatient. He took a deep breath, looked up at Lu Yuanzhi standing on the left, and asked:
"Does the Duke of Beiguo have any opinion on this matter?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the hundreds of figures in the hall were all focused on Lu Yuanzhi.

However, Lu Yuanzhi did not feel uncomfortable with these gazes.

He chuckled and shook his head.
"I am not familiar with the affairs of the court, and I don't know who to recommend. I wonder if the ministers can come up with an answer. If the candidate convinces me, I have no objection."

"hehe."

Lu Yuanzhi's words only caused the ministers to sneer in their hearts.

Who doesn't know that he and Hai Rui are in the same boat?
Of course, it is a bit of an exaggeration to say that they are grasshoppers. They should be two fierce tigers, two great gods entrenched in the court!
The second prince's mouth twitched at Lu Yuanzhi's words.

Having said this is like saying nothing.

The meaning is very clear, it is no less than a threat.

If I like the person you helped to get to the top, I will help him. If I don’t like him… then I definitely won’t be willing to do it.

Basically it's still Hai Rui.

"What about Hai Aiqing?"

The second prince's heart moved slightly, and he looked at Hai Rui and kicked the ball to himself.

After hearing this, Hai Rui felt that this boy was quite thoughtful.

He couldn't shamelessly recommend himself in this hall.

But this is not a big problem. Hai Rui quickly stepped forward humbly and said to the Second Prince:

"I share the same opinion as the Duke of Beiguo."

With just a few simple words, the evil intentions of the Second Prince were wiped out.

The Second Prince did not dare to ask any more questions, but turned his gaze to his father-in-law again. He coughed lightly and asked:
"I wonder what Lord Lin thinks?"
