I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

This confidence does not come from his ability - to do something that has never been done before, and it seems that there is not much success rate in this matter, no matter how capable people are, they will feel frustrated.

It originated from Yin Xuan.

Such a big treasure is placed in the city of Chang'an!
If there is anything you don't understand, just ask him.

But before you ask, you must think carefully, and you must not reveal your intentions - Your Majesty is hiding his identity.

I was careless, and told Yin Xuan what His Majesty had heard from Yin Xuan. Even a fool should know Li Shimin's true identity.

His Majesty does not want to reveal his identity.

So you can't be so rash.

Li Shimin led them around again before slowly returning to the imperial city.

Duan Lun looked at Lu Yigong with a complicated expression: "You are so courageous to accept this job."

Lu Yigong smiled wryly and shook his head: "If nothing changes in my life, my official career will come to an end."

The court is a place that pays attention to human touch - qualifications, although it sounds quite disgusting, can be viewed from a different angle.

A person with little ability has worked hard all his life for more than ten years, and at the end of his life, he is arranged in a position that seems to have some real power. Let him sit for a few years, and then return to his hometown after retirement, which will also give him a bit of fame.

But it's also a brutal place.

Those who are incompetent can only hang out and work through their qualifications until they are about to retire and return to their hometowns.

Just like Lu Yigong.

Compared to people like Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling, or those ordinary people, Lu Yigong may have suffered more.

When he was young, he was also a talent, a well-known handsome young man in ten miles and eight villages, even when he entered the imperial court and was an official of the sixth and seventh ranks, he was also the one who stood out from the crowd.

But wait until his official position is getting bigger and bigger.

After seeing people like Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling, I knew that my ability was a little bit worse than theirs.However, it's just a little bit, they are listed as generals, and they can only be a servant at most.

Doesn't Lu Yigong not want to go any further?

Of course he wanted to.

I was not frivolous when I was young, but I didn't expect that when I was old, I would have the courage to put all my eggs in one basket.

Duan Lun sighed: "This is not easy to do, Your Majesty does not intend to use corvee."

They didn't discuss whether this matter can be passed. Since Lu Yigong agreed, when His Majesty speaks about this matter in the hall tomorrow, Lu Yigong will take the initiative to invite Ying.

Someone is responsible
As the servant of Lu Yigong's Ministry of Industry, he can barely bear this pot.Naturally, no one will stop it.

If this is done, corvee will be saved, and there will be another way in the future.

If it fails, the road from Chang'an to Luoyang, it is not a matter of losing money to spend a lot of money to repair such a road, anyway, Lu Yigong will be responsible for it in the end.

"I'm going to ask Mr. Yin for advice." Lu Yigong said firmly, and spoke softly.

Duan Lun raised his eyebrows: "Ask him for advice?"

Lu Yigong nodded: "Well, His Majesty's idea came from him. I think there is a good plan for the male belly in Yin County. I will ask him for advice."

Duan Lun said again: "Aren't you afraid of exposing Your Majesty's identity?"

Lu Yigong's eyes were a little complicated: "I'm also thinking about how to do it vaguely, and I have an idea."

Duan Lun thought for a while, then waved his hand: "Since you've made up your mind, then go and give it a go. For the Ministry of Industry, use whatever you can."

Lu Yigong's eyes lit up, and he bowed deeply to Duan Lun: "Thank you Duan Shangshu."

If Lu Yigong wanted to be promoted again, he would go from servant to minister, but there was no conflict of interest between the two of them.

Duan Lun has been sitting in the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry for too long. From June of the third year of Zhenguan until now, it is even foreseeable that if there are no major twists and turns, he will continue to sit in this position for a long time.

During his reign, the ministers of the Ministry of War changed four, and the ministers of the Ministry of punishment also changed four.

He also wanted to sit in another seat.

After Lu Yigong returned home, he began to think about how to ask Yin Xuan for advice on road construction without revealing His Majesty's identity.

This is not too difficult.

It was quite simple for Lu Yigong to find out a reason.

Lu Yigong took the initiative to invite Ying, just as they predicted before, this matter did not help much, and they also wanted to see if a road could be built without corvee.

After the meeting is over.

Lu Yigong went home and changed his clothes, but it was still a formal dress, and then took the gift, got into the carriage and went to Tongfu Restaurant.

Several little girls are still gnashing their teeth to compete with the loom.

Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and the others came to the restaurant for dinner early in the morning, and when they were discussing what happened in the hall today in a low voice, Wei Zheng, who was sitting facing the door, suddenly stopped talking and stared at the door in a daze.

"What's the matter?" Fang Xuanling was a little puzzled, looked back and froze in place.

At the door of the restaurant, a man walked over.

The luxurious clothes on his body can be seen at a glance. He is not an ordinary person. The fish charm pinned to his waist further demonstrates his identity as an official of the court.

Fang Xuanling turned back abruptly, looked at Wei Zheng, a little surprised: "Why did he just come here?"

Wei Zheng tugged at his beard: "Don't worry, Lu Shilang is not a fool, he knows about Erlang, let's see what he plans to do."

It was afternoon and there were not many guests.

Yin Xuan was accompanying a few little girls in the backyard, and Ji Wen hurriedly called her out before she could point her fingers.

Seeing Lu Yigong in the scarlet robe, he was slightly taken aback.

At least a fifth-rank official, someone who is qualified to stand in the court.

How could this kind of person be so upright? Yin Xuan felt a little regretful.

From now on, you can't make fun of Cheng Yaojin and the others, and you can't unscrupulously attack a few little girls—just pinch your little face, rub your head and so on.

You can't eat a green apple, and you can't even touch it.

"You are?" Yin Xuan casually arched his hands and asked.

Lu Yigong was upright and bowed respectfully: "Yu is Lu Yigong, the servant of the Ministry of Industry. It's good for the county man to call me respectful."

"Why is Lu Shilang looking for me?" Yin Xuan didn't listen to Lu Yigong's words, and used a more polite title.

Lu Yigong paused for a moment, and then said: "I heard that the county man provided the cement to the imperial court."

"And I took another errand to build a road from Chang'an to Luoyang."

Both Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling's heart was about to rise to their throats—is Lu Yigong finally going to expose His Majesty?
