Chapter 101 Seeking a Body

Lu Qing said humbly, "It is a blessing for the people and the common people that the world has a wise ruler like Your Majesty. It is also our blessing for us, as your subjects, to be able to share Your Majesty's worries."

Emperor Jin was clearly very pleased with his words. He nodded with satisfaction and continued, "I heard that someone attempted to frame General Cao's nephew for murder yesterday. Fortunately, you were there and instructed your men to argue with the other party. Only then did they uncover the truth and clear General Cao's name."

"It's true." Lu Qing nodded.

"Yes, this is very well done. I will give you a great credit." The Jin Emperor seemed very satisfied with this. "General Cao followed me in battle and made many military achievements. He is a hero in the founding of our Great Jin.

If anyone could falsely accuse and frame such a meritorious old minister, I would be accused of partiality and favoritism if I uphold justice, but if I don't uphold justice, it would chill the old minister's heart."

As he spoke, his gaze shifted from Lu Qing to Zhu Yu. "Are you the Chief Clerk of Xiaoyao Palace who helped General Cao's nephew overturn the case yesterday? I didn't expect there was such a capable person in my son's mansion."

Emperor Jin said this in a tone of praise, but Zhu Yu couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

She had witnessed with her own eyes the speed at which the ruler of the world changed his expression when he entered the palace wearing a mask to meet the emperor.

Zhu Yu was instinctively a little scared of this kind of person who had ulterior motives and held the power of life and death, so he was extremely cautious in his attitude and did not dare to take it as a compliment.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your kind words. I just know a few things, and they just happened to come in handy." She lowered her voice, clasped her fists, bowed, and lowered her head slightly, responding in a very humbly manner.

"Not only capable, but also humble. Not bad, not bad." Emperor Jin nodded and looked at Zhu Yu again. "I heard that the trick on the murder blade was not discovered by the coroner of Jingzhao Prefecture, but you found it. This is not just a little knowledge.

You have such ability, and you have chosen to be my son's disciple. Could it be that you also learned from Qiyunshan?"

Zhu Yu sighed in his heart. Lu Qing had indeed predicted this matter in advance and had reminded him of it before he set out in the morning.

So she nodded and said, "Your Majesty is as perceptive as seeing through fire, and your eyes are as sharp as a torch."

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask for a permit." Lu Qing took the opportunity to speak and asked Emperor Jin, "Before, I thought he was skinny and looked useless, so I ignored him. I didn't expect that he could be of some use this time.

If he is just the chief official of my palace, it would be inappropriate for him to go out. I wonder if Your Majesty can grant him a certificate of official position so that he can act more conveniently when needed in the future."

Emperor Jin did not respond to Lu Qing's request immediately. He hesitated for a moment and waved his hand at him, "Forget about the official status. Since it was sent by Qiyunshan to help you, I think he is reliable.

I'll send you a badge later, so your master's care for you won't be in vain."

Lu Qing quickly clasped his fists in thanks.

Emperor Jin then said to Zhu Yu, "Hermit Qiyun has asked you to come to Lu Qing. You must do your utmost to assist him. Otherwise, not only will he not forgive you, but I will not forgive you either."

"Yes, I will do my best and do my best," Zhu Yu replied quickly. Emperor Jin ignored her and chatted with Lu Qing about other things.

After all, Lu Qing came today as the King of Freedom, and Emperor Jin could not talk to him about any important business. The two of them were more like a father and son chatting about family matters.

Zhu Yu looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, and stood behind Lu Qing and listened silently.

First of all, Lu Zhang's wedding was faster than they had thought. However, due to the incident at Cao Tianbao's birthday party, Lu Zhang had some concerns and did not want a grand wedding. He just wanted to have a low-key wedding.

Emperor Jin was not in favor of it at first, but considering that something had happened on the night of Lu Qing's wedding, he agreed to Lu Zhang's request.

At this moment, the wedding procession of the Jie King's legitimate daughter has received the bride from the Jie Kingdom's wedding procession and is returning to the capital under the escort of General Situ. They will arrive soon.

Secondly, Emperor Jin actually bypassed Lu Chao and the third and fourth princes in between, and arranged a marriage for the seventh prince Lu Ze. The woman was the granddaughter of the chief academic officer of the Imperial College and the daughter of the Grand Secretary of the Academy of Literature, an absolutely orthodox scholarly family.

Because the girl had just reached the age of marriage and was still young, and Lu Ze had just passed the age of twenty, so there was no rush for this marriage. However, Emperor Jin came forward to discuss the marriage with the chief academic officer of the Imperial College. Even if the marriage was agreed upon, they could wait for another three or two years until the two were older before getting married.

The Imperial College's chief academic officer naturally accepted the offer with pleasure. After all, Lu Ze was the most favored prince among the emperor's sons and the one who was of the same age as his granddaughter. Lu Ze was also handsome and intelligent in his speech and actions. No matter how you looked at it, he was a good match.

As for why he had to arrange a marriage for Lu Ze so early, Emperor Jin just laughed and said to Lu Qing with a loving look in his eyes, "Ze'er is my youngest son. With you brothers sharing a lot of my burdens, he has always been like a child who has never grown up. When will he become a useful person?

It would be better to arrange a marriage for him, one that comes from a family of scholars and great Confucian scholars, which would also be a good influence and help him improve. "

After chatting for a while, Emperor Jin still had a table full of memorials piled up to read, so Lu Qing stood up and took his leave, leaving the Southern Study with Zhu Yu.

Eunuch Gao saw them off. Because he had received benefits from Lu Qing, he was smiling all the way and speaking flattering words. He sent the two of them all the way to the palace gate. They rode their horses for a distance. Zhu Yu secretly looked back and could still see Eunuch Gao's small white handkerchief fluttering.

"It is said that money can make the devil work. With this heavy treasure bag you have today, the mill is about to make the devil work, right?" Zhu Yu retracted his gaze, rode his horse forward a few steps, and whispered to Lu Qing.

Lu Qing smiled and said, "The eunuchs around the emperor are not so powerful, but they are almost the same. Among all the civil and military officials in the court, except for Duke Yan and General Cao, who can treat Eunuch Gao badly, who else can have such confidence?
He is not that short-sighted. What I gave him was just to prevent him from feeling offended.

Moreover, eunuchs like him have their own little calculations in mind. If you are not the person he wants to bet on, even if it is a large ingot of gold, he may not take it seriously. "

Zhu Yu nodded in agreement. She had a lot of questions in her mind at the moment, but it was difficult to say anything in the crowded streets. She had no choice but to keep all her questions to herself and wait until she got home to talk about them.
