Chapter 748: big gift

Chapter 748 Great gift

Lu Yan got off his horse and threw the reins to Mi Tuan. He looked up at the huge palace in front of him, and his eyes gradually became hot. The sun fell into his eyes, as if two fires were burning.

"I have seen the governor!" Ming An quickly saluted, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, saw Lu Yan's personal soldiers not far away, and the armor on his body, knew that he was passing by here, so he moved a little Peace of mind.

"Is the construction period still in time?" Lu Yan asked.

Ming Anxin said, isn’t this a nonsense question? Do you have to rush if you can't make it? Use it before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year. Isn't this a dead order?

"Returning to the governor, there is no shortage of materials and craftsmen. From the current point of view, the three halls can be completed by the end of this year."

Under the blue sky, golden glazed tiles, red palace walls, white marble stone carvings and railings, eleven rooms wide, five rooms deep, gold brick floor, a throne in the open room, above the throne is placed in the center of the ceiling shaped like an umbrella cover upwards. caisson. In the middle of the algae well is carved a lying dragon, with its head protruding down and holding a pearl in its mouth...

Everything was designed by him himself. The bright hall of the emperor in his dream is taller, majestic and full of royal dignity than the Linde Hall in the capital today.

Everyone thought that the three palaces would be used in time for next year's Lantern Festival, but only he and Xiao Xun knew that the real time for this palace would be the sixteenth day of the first lunar month next year.

After reading it once, Lu Yan was very satisfied, and ordered Mituan, "Tell Li Baozhen, some decorations and decorations are coming, let Pei Ji look at them!"

"yes!"

Lu Yan thought for a while, and said, "Also, let the cabinet follow the order. Cui Yingqing will come to Yanjing immediately as the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and start the 16th celebration of the first lunar month next year."

Mi Tuan was about to take orders to go, some did not understand, and asked, "Master, what kind of celebration is this?"

Lu Yan glanced at Mi Tuan, "It's enough for Cui Yingqing to know about the ceremony of Jiji, and there is no need to spread it on a large scale."

Mi Tuan was so excited that his blood was surging, he was very happy, "Master, is this a gift from the princess?"

"Well, let Cui Yingqing's wife come with her."

Thinking about Jili, women might know more about it, and Cui Yingqing's wife is Haishi, and Jiangning Haishi is the most respectful of etiquette, so Lu Yan ordered one more sentence, "This sentence does not need to be written in the imperial decree. "

In the capital, Xie Tiao is very busy now, Zhou Damo has been locked up and taken to Beijing, but Lu Yan didn't say who will take over Zhou Damo's position. Before he proposed to let Lu Qiling, Lu Yan didn't say whether it was okay or not.

Xie Tiao had no choice but to call several elders over. In the duty room, he asked someone to make a pot of tea. With the fragrance of the tea wafting, Xie Tiao said, "Everyone, Zhou Damo is going to Beijing soon. The position of chief envoy is vacant, in your opinion, who is the most suitable?"

People outside cannot understand the current situation. How can the people in the cabinet not understand it?

The emperor was still sick in Dongnuange, King Xiang was serving sick in Meiwu, two of the emperor's elder sons were staying in Dongchang Prison, one was in Yunnan, and the other was staying in Shandong and never came back.

Zeng Shiyi went through it in his mind, "Master Xie, I really can't think of anyone else who is more suitable than Master Lu, but the point is, Master Lu is too young, and now he is a third-rank official. It has been less than three years. Wouldn't it be too fast to go up a level again?"

Will he be infamous for cronyism?

Xie Tiao did not speak.

Zhang Minghe said, "Master Xie, how is Li Gang? He was promoted to Zhizhou of Xingzhou, and in the eighth year of Shoukang, he was appointed as the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple. In the following year, because of Ding You, the Qing of Taichang Temple at that time, Li Gang was appointed as the minister of Taichang Temple, and three years later, he was moved to be the minister of Taichang Temple."

Xie Tiao's impression of this person is naturally much deeper than that of Zhang Minghe. When Li Gang went to Beijing to rush for the exam, he met Li Gang in a small wine shop and gave advice to Li Gang. A bottle of wine, I came to Xie's house to thank him.

Xie Tiao can be said to have a half-teacher friendship with Li Gang, which is why Xie Tiao did not mention Li Gang.

In the evening, after getting off the yamen, Xie Tiao made a special trip to Lu's house. Xie Sanniang didn't expect her natal family to come suddenly, and she was a little at a loss. Xie Tiao waved her hand, "Just make some small dishes, I have something to talk to Qi Ling about."

Lu Qiling's son staggered towards him, calling "grandfather" affectionately, Xie Tiao hugged the child for a while, gave the child to Xie Sanniang, and went to the study with Lu Qiling.

Lu Qiling made tea for Xie Tiao himself, Xie Tiao took a sip, and said, "I originally wanted you to serve as the chief envoy in Hebei, but I mentioned it in front of Mr. Lu, but he never let go, and I don't know him What means?"

No matter what Lu Yan thinks, anyway, Lu Yan will not cheat Lu Qiling.

Without waiting for Lu Qiling to speak, Xie Tiao said, "I said before that I should step down, but Mr. Lu didn't agree. Today, the cabinet discussed to let Li Gang go to Hebei. Alas, to tell you the truth, Li Gang is also my man!"

Lu Qiling couldn't help laughing, "Uncle, it's fine if you talk about it in front of me, don't say it outside. Right now is not the time for uncle to leave. If you want my nephew to say, uncle should wait a bit. In the future, there will be opportunities .”

Xie Tiao said, "A few days ago, your cousin of the Cui family wrote to me and told me that the ethnology of the Cui family had been handed over to Shandong Xuezheng, and the name was changed to Boling Academy. good."

All of this is because Cui Xie and his family are paving the way for the New Deal.

When the battle in Beiqi was in full swing, the Cui family received an imperial decree, Cui Yingqing was appointed as the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, and ordered to go to Yanjing Mansion to supervise the celebration on the 16th day of the first lunar month.

He was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what kind of celebration was on the 16th day of the first lunar month, but Cui Yingqing was also extremely experienced, first received the order to thank you, and after getting up, he made friends with the little **** who came to deliver the order, and stuffed a hundred taels of silver notes , "Elder-in-law, may I ask what kind of celebration this sixteenth day is?"

The little **** glanced at Cui Yingqing dissatisfied, "Master Cui, you are also the princess's uncle after all, don't you know the princess's birthday? Think about it carefully, what day is the sixteenth day of the first lunar month!"

Cui Yingqing suddenly realized, he couldn't hide his excitement for a moment, he didn't expect His Royal Highness Chen Wang to attach so much importance to the princess's ceremony, his hands were trembling, and he quickly ordered the housekeeper, "Go, go, tell the cook, prepare the wine and dishes, I'll have a drink with my father-in-law!"

"Hey, our family doesn't dare. You are the dignified left servant of the Ministry of Rites and the uncle of the princess. You can just arrange someone to accompany our family for a light meal. This imperial decree is very urgent. You should hurry up and talk to the old lady. Discuss, but the governor said that this ceremony cannot be done casually, I suggest you bring the eldest wife with you."
