Chapter 738: Acacia

Chapter 738 Acacia

Xie Tiao was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so he said with a deep expression, "Master Lu, the prince has been fighting outside all year round, and this is also for the sake of the world. My granddaughter, who is young, is alone outside, and there is no one beside me who can protect her." She has no elders, and now I am being bullied, my heart has really been gouged out."

Lu Yan raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, the seductive charm floating in his eyes, soaked in a layer of coldness, the noble temperament of the son of the aristocratic family, people can no longer feel, he is the old man The governor of the East Factory, who was frightened by the news, was as blurred and cold as the cold moon in the vast sky.

"I will deal with this matter. If Mr. Xie has nothing else to do, please go back!"

How could Xie Tiao be willing to be driven away so easily? Even when Lu Yan served tea, he still sat motionless, but asked, "Lord Lu, I don't know why Master Lu thinks who is worthy of being the Hebei Governor?"

Lu Yan had no choice but to put down the tea bowl, and asked, "What does Mr. Xie Ge mean? Could there be a suitable candidate?"

"Hebei is located in the frontier, and the territory has just been recovered. The governance of the people is the most important thing. If you are not a person with outstanding talents, you should not let him go. If Lord Lu insists on my recommendation, then I recommend Lu Qiling. Although he Young, but he served as Jingzhao Shaoyin first and Jingzhaoyin later, he has outstanding achievements and can be a great leader."

"I remember that Lu Qiling is the nephew of Mr. Xie Ge. If Mr. Xie Ge is so virtuous and doesn't avoid relatives, isn't he afraid of people saying nepotism?"

"What's the matter? Lu Qiling is my nephew. Everyone in the world knows that Lu Qiling is the governor of Jingzhao. Everyone in the world also knows that this pavilion wants Lu Qiling to go to Hebei. How can I take care of my granddaughter? , I am not afraid that everyone in the world will know, why, is there anything wrong with this?"

Lu Yan was surprised, is this old man crazy? He squinted his eyes, and his voice was cold, with a chilling majesty, "Mr. Xie Ge, the current government is in a period of transition, and everything is very unclear. It will take about a year for His Royal Highness, King Chen, to return to the court." After that, all kinds of wastes are waiting to be done, and the cabinet must be relied on. These are not for a certain person, but for the people of the world. The Xie family has always taken the world as their own responsibility. Back then, they were able to choose silence for the people and go with the flow. Today, why can’t they be for the people of the world? Do something more?"

Xie Tiao's heart skipped a beat, his old face blushed involuntarily, he was indeed planning to send Lu Qiling to Hebei, after taking care of his precious granddaughter, he would look for a good time to step down from the position of chief assistant, and take the second child's family with him, Go home to retire.

His eldest son has already reached the second rank from an official position and is an extremely personable minister. His eldest granddaughter is a super-rank princess and will be unspeakably expensive in the future. The third son is now earning money for the royal family. The fourth son will rely on him for the food of the family. Xijiang is a piece of fertile soil. As long as he doesn't do anything wrong, he won't worry about not being able to make great achievements in the future.

One cannot be greedy in one's life. As long as Xie Tiao has been the chief assistant for one day, his reputation will reach its peak.

When the moon is full, it will be short, and things will be reversed at the extreme. Can Xie Tiao not be worried? The reason why the Xie family can last forever is that each generation of patriarchs has the ability to assess the situation, keep their original intentions, and retreat bravely.

Xie Tiao sighed, "Lord Lu, the Xie family did not advance and retreat with the Lu family back then. The Lu family was destroyed and the Xie family lived. No matter what price needs to be paid, the Xie family will fully bear it, and there will be no excuses."

Lu Yan said, "It's so good!"

After finishing speaking, Lu Yan ordered someone to invite King Xiang into the palace.

King Xiang is visiting the West Market. Although his thin body looks a little weak, if you don't look at it from the front, you can still see his handsome appearance in the past.

Only, years of toxin erosion have hurt the foundation after all. After the poison was pulled out, his whole body was cleared up, his skin was loose, and he looked much older.

King Xiang was dressed in a brown robe, with his hands behind his back, and walked slowly. Occasionally, when he encountered a bird under the eaves of someone else making a clear call, he would imitate it, chirp twice, and respond.

A dignified prince, he responded very affectionately to the bird.

"My lord, my lord, I welcome you from the palace!"

Behind him, the servant next to King Xiang ran over, sweating profusely, and followed behind King Xiang, sweating profusely.

In the capital city in July, at noon, it is like a huge furnace. On the street, except for the hurrying farmers, who have to rush out of the city to go home in order to catch up with the farm work in the afternoon, only King Xiang, a rich and idle man, can be so leisurely. I went shopping in the scorching sun.

"Let's just say that the king is sleeping right now and has no time. It's noon and he doesn't sleep. What is King Xuanben doing in the palace?" King Xiang said absently, his eyes kept scanning the bird cages under the eaves of the shops on both sides .

Today's luck is not good, there is no beauty that catches the eye at a glance.

Suddenly, a lovesick bird with a red beak and emerald feathers squatted in the cage and looked at him. The eyes of one person and one bird met in mid-air. In an instant, King Xiang's nose was sour, and he was about to shed tears.

He walked towards the bird without hesitation, and stretched out his hand to caress the cage. When the bird saw the stranger, it didn't dodge. The child thought of someone.

Obviously knowing that it is impossible, but King Xiang still has a voice in his heart that keeps asking, is it you? is it you?

"Guest officer, do you want this bird?" Seeing a customer, the shopkeeper ran out with his waist bent, with a handkerchief on his shoulder, and kept wiping away his sweat.

"How much silver?" King Xiang had already held the bird cage in his hand.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper naturally had the desire to ask for prices, raised a hand, and was about to say "fifty taels". , singing is not as good as songbirds such as thrushes, it is very monotonous, and not many people like it.

"Give him five hundred taels of silver!" King Xiang turned around and left with the bird cage in hand.

The boy hurriedly slapped a silver ticket of one hundred taels into the shopkeeper's hand, and gave the shopkeeper a glance. Although it was not five hundred taels, the shopkeeper also knew the principle of accepting it as soon as he saw it. The two silver coins were stuffed into the boy's hand.

The little servant looked down, turned around and threw it to him, then ran out to chase King Xiang, "My lord, Lord Lu in the palace asks you to enter the palace immediately, saying that it is a matter of Hebei."

When King Xiang heard that it was about Hebei, all the lovesickness and sorrow in his heart were frightened, and he stopped and scolded the boy, "You bastard, why didn't you say it earlier?"

As he spoke, he stomped his feet, "Prepare the sedan chair, hurry up, prepare the sedan chair, the king is going into the palace."

In the palace, Xie Tiao and Lu Yan waited for about half an hour, and King Xiang finally arrived. When he reached the gate of the palace, he handed the bird cage in his hand to Mi Tuan, "Mi Tuan, please take care of me for the king. The king rewards you!"

The second update!
