"Retreat—"
A resounding singing came from the High Hall of Supreme Harmony, and it pulled back her thoughts.
Empress Dowager Ji, who was sitting first, was still talking to Princess Yongning and Empress Shen, so Lu Jinxi realized that she had been distracted for a while.
Fortunately, no one noticed.
When the voice of "retreat" came, Empress Dowager Ji and the others naturally stopped talking and looked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
From their position, they could just see the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The ministers filed out from the door, all dressed neatly, but the expressions on each person's face were different.
Some of them walked alone, while others walked together in twos and threes, talking while walking.
For Lu Jinxi, the ministers who came out were mostly raw faces.
There were only a few familiar faces, namely Liu Jin, the Admiral of the Nine Sects, Gu Chengqian, the imperial master, and a thinner white-bearded old man walking by Gu Chengqian's side. Judging from the official uniform, it should have been the work of the Grand Master Wei Bing.
When Gu Juefei came out, she saw it at a glance.
The official uniform of the sixth-grade Xiuzhuan from the Hanlin Academy was worn on him, but it did not damage his appearance at all.
Just looking at it like this, I actually felt that the snow-white egret embroidered on it had the charm of a crane.
His face, which had been carefully sculpted by God, showed no trace of anger and frustration.
It's like, at the court meeting a moment ago, the person who was just a stone's throw away from the position of the examination examiner had nothing to do with him;
It seems that the person who caused this loss was not his father, who was a high-ranking and noble teacher.
Gu Juefei is still the indifferent Gu Juefei, even if you look closely, you can find a faint smile on his lips.
Gu Chengqian walked ahead of him, but he didn't catch up, and Gu Chengqian didn't stop to say the first half of the sentence to him.
Others may think that their father and son are avoiding suspicion
But Gu Juefei knew very well in his heart that since he said in front of Gu Chengqian that he wanted to marry Lu Jinxi that night, the relationship between the father and son was almost broken.
It's just that he didn't even think about it. Gu Chengqian could actually do such a thing.
As the imperial master of the dynasty, even if he did not form a party or be selfish, who would dare to take it as a joke when he said a word
In just a few words, he objected to Xiao Che's appointment of him as an examiner.
In the days to come, you don't have to worry too much, you can easily imagine seeing-
No matter what he wants to do, Gu Chengqian will be the first to object.
Right now, he's just a skilled examiner, so what's the point? There will be more and more in the future.
Gu Juefei smiled indifferently.
At this time, a shout suddenly came from behind, and someone took two steps to catch up: "Nephew, nephew!"
call yourself
Gu Juefei was stunned for a moment, then stopped, looking back, it turned out to be Lu Jiuling, Lu Jinxi's biological father.
"Master Lu, are you?"
"Hey, fortunately I'll stop you, otherwise I really won't be able to catch up."
It wasn't that Gu Juefei walked fast, it was Lu Jiuling's age, and his legs were not particularly neat, and he came out late, so he took two steps.
"Emperor Fang Cai said at the court that the Ministry of Rites was responsible for the hospitality of the Xiongnu envoys while they were in Beijing. We could have fought with the Xiongnu all year round. How could we have thought about today? Although we have drawn up a method of hospitality a while ago, but In the Ministry of Rites, few people know about the Huns."
Lu Jiuling is now the Minister of Rites, he and Gu Chengqian are classmates and the same year, but his ability is much worse than Gu Chengqian.
Essentially, Lu Jiuling is a literati.
Fortunately, the emperor assigned him to manage the Ministry of Rites, which was just right. But in the case of the Great Xia Huns negotiating peace, his ability is not enough.
Gu Juefei listened and understood what Lu Jiuling meant: "Do you want me to help?"
"yes."
Lu Jiuling sighed, actually a little embarrassed.
"You also know that the Ministry of Rites here are all from the imperial examinations, and most of them look down on the Xiongnu side, and they don't understand the taboos there. But I know it, nephew, when you traveled to the world to study, you also stayed at the border for a long time. Time, I also wrote a manuscript related to the customs of the Xiongnu. Look at it, take a moment today and help me take a look at it?"
Hun envoys…
After all, it is the two countries negotiating peace, and many details are hoped to be in place.
Gu Juefei knew this.
But at this moment, the person who made this request to him turned out to be Lu Jiuling, an outsider who had nothing to do with him.
Sora has a great talent, but unfortunately there is nowhere to stretch.
Gu Juefei thought about it and felt that he was pitiful.
He didn't reject Lu Jiuling, but said: "Mr. Lu is very polite, Juefei is now teaching your grandson, Young Master Xue, in the afternoon, but he is an idler and has nothing to do. If it is convenient for you, I will come to help you after the peace banquet. have a look."
"That's daring!"
Lu Jiuling breathed a sigh of relief and became happy.
"Why don't you go back to the Grand Master's mansion first, and just bring my grandson to my mansion. Don't delay the two things!"
Lu Jiuling is Lu Jinxi's father, and naturally Xue Chi's grandfather.
He never liked the Xue family, and he also complained a lot about Xue Kuang, who kept his daughter a widow, but he liked Xue Chi very much.
After all, this child has half the blood of his daughter.
A while ago, I heard that the kid passed away and worshipped Mr. Gu Juefeiwei, and Lu Jiuling was also happy for a while.
It's just the water splashed out by the daughter who got married after all.
It's even more troublesome if you want to see your daughter, and even more troublesome if you want to see your grandson.
So when Gu Juefei mentioned Xue Chi, Lu Jiuling immediately came up with the idea, and he couldn't hold back.
After finishing speaking, he also looked at Gu Juefei with a little expectation.
The smile on Gu Juefei's lips deepened slightly, but of course he agreed: "Master Lu is very right. Later that day, Juefei will bring Young Master Xue to visit."
"Good, good, good!"
Lu Jiuling was very satisfied at once, her face was full of smiles, she looked at Gu Juefei for a while, how she looked pleasing to the eye, how she looked good.
Such a good son, how could Gu Chengqian be so ruthless and tossed like this
He couldn't help but hug Gu Juefei to the sky, looked at Gu Chengqian who was already walking towards the arranged table, and finally sighed, and patted him on the shoulder as he walked.
"Hey, speaking of which, don't take this matter of facing up today. Your father has always been far-sighted and won't let you become a skilled examiner. Maybe he has other plans. After you go back, you should find a chance. Have a good talk."
talk
Talking about his marriage to the widow of the murdered loyal minister Liang Jiang
Gu Juefei actually couldn't answer this question, but in the face of Lu Jiuling's sincere comfort and advice, he still nodded: "Father must have his intentions, please rest assured, Master Lu, I won't be so worried. "
"That's fine, that's fine."
After hearing what he said, Lu Jiuling felt a little relieved, just wiped the beautiful beard hanging from her chin, and laughed again.
"Besides, even if it can't be solved, it's not a big deal. Once the negotiation is settled, all matters related to the Huns, both inside and out, will be handled here by the Ministry of Rites. I see that there is a shortage of suitable people. In fact, I thought about going back to tell the emperor and transferring you in, but I was afraid that I would be too talented, and I was afraid that your father had other arrangements for you. So I never dared to mention it."
Ministry of Rites
Gu Juefei paused for a while, but was suddenly opened to a different mind by Lu Jiuling's words.
All kinds of considerations flashed across the depths of my mind in an instant, a flash of lightning.
"Master Lu, is this true?"
Consider, but only for a moment. The next moment, Gu Juefei had returned to normal, so fast that no one could see it, so he just asked Lu Jiuling with a smile.
Lu Jiuling is always cherishing talents, and only guesses what conflicts should be between their father and son. But if there are any contradictions, it shouldn't be a joke about the future of such pillars as Gu Juefei.
"What a gentleman said, the horse is hard to chase, of course it is true. And your father has refuted you once, and it would be too much to refute the second time, and the emperor may not agree to him. What's more, there is indeed a shortage of people here in the Ministry of Rites. Wenwu, who can do it?"
Lu Jiuling almost patted her chest, and the analysis between the words is not without reason.
"Seriously, you have to promise, and I will ask for the order the next day."
"I… "
Gu Juefei wanted to speak.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jiuling waved her hand and said unexpectedly, "I know you are in a dilemma, and I'm afraid your father will be angry, but he is responsible for this matter. Just think about it and give me an answer later."
"… "
It turned out that this old man thought he was in a dilemma, and he still hesitated and considered
But yes.
Everyone thinks that the errands of the Ministry of Rites are nothing to rush, and the left and right are just like that. But now it's different. The peace talks are already unstoppable, and there will be a lot of things related to the two countries.
Border residents, mutual market, taxation, which is not the most important thing
At present, I am afraid that few people in the government and the opposition realize that this will become one of the most important parts of the government in the future.
Or, as long as it was caught, he was sure of making it that part.
Gu Juefei couldn't help but smile. Since the other party had misunderstood, he wouldn't bother to correct it. He just followed Lu Jiuling's words and said, "Then Juefei will answer you another day, and thank you for your appreciation..."
"Oh, what kind of appreciation is that?"
Lu Jiuling hurriedly waved her hand.
Gu Juefei is really talented. He's called Zhanguang, but he doesn't want this old face when he says that he appreciates it.
"Anyway, these matters in the courtroom have to be taken slowly. I'm a fool myself, and I can't tell you anything. Just think more about yourself."
Lu Jiuling just walked like this, while exhorting.
Gu Juefei listened, nodded, and walked with him to the food table arranged in front of the hall.
As soon as I raised my eyes, I saw Gu Chengqian who had walked to the first case on the left, with a wrinkled face and a bit of anger, staring at him who was talking to Lu Jiuling.
Angry
With just one thought, Gu Juefei wanted to understand the reason: he should have thought that he was deliberately approaching Lu Jiuling, or Lu Jinxi's father, right
Not bad though.
With a distance in the middle, Gu Juefei showed a faint smile to Gu Chengqian, and then walked towards his position under the guidance of the palace servant next to him.
Over there, Lu Jinxi's expression finally became a little weird.
Gu Juefei actually walked with Lu Jiuling and talked...
And if she read it right just now, when she was talking to Lu Jiuling, the smile on this guy's lips was really familiar, and it was so familiar that she was thrilled.
It's clearly trying to trick people.
This guy, even the old man has a routine, does he have any humanity
Inexplicably, Lu Jinxi felt a little uneasy.
Gu Juefei let go of the harsh words that he wanted to marry her, and now he is still talking very happily with her father, Lu Jiuling.
What do you think, how can you not be happy.
Don't you develop a policy of saving the country with a curve, are you going to brush the favorability of the future old husband first
She couldn't help but murmured in her heart.
Just seeing Gu Juefei's composure as usual, as if nothing had happened in the courtroom before, with a graceful appearance, her worry that had arisen for no reason and even she didn't even notice, quietly disappeared, Leave no trace.
"The Emperor is coming—"
With the resounding resounding singing of Zhou Dequan, the chief eunuch, everyone immediately knelt down, long live the mountain.
"Congratulations to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live!"
- The reconciliation ceremony has finally begun.
