fake prince

Chapter 394

Luo Pei was ordered to control the floods. Although he was encouraged by the emperor, he still had a lot of official business to be delivered and finished. Today he tidied up the papers and returned to his home.

The change of salary in the former Wei Dynasty said: "Since ancient times, official salary has accounted for two-tenths of the country's benefit."

Added salaries to all officials, and Zheng Chao succeeded him. Luo Pei was a third-rank official, with an annual salary of a thousand stones, a gift of silk in the spring and autumn, and six hectares of vegetable fields. The income level was not low, although he was clean and not poor. Seeing him come back, he said, "My lord, there is a guest here to pay respects!"

Luo Pei couldn't help being startled, who came to the door at this time, the ox cart got off, and said in his mouth, "Who is it?"

Just after entering the door, I saw a man named Fu Zimo come out with a smile, and bowed: "Students greet you!"

Luo Pei knew it, and smiled: "So it's you, what orders does the lord have?"

Fuzimo looked relaxed, and said: "My lord is very happy, I don't have any orders, but I just ordered the students to bring some fresh products."

Luo Pei took a look, and found that they were indeed fresh and not rare, so he expressed his thanks to Fuzimo, and when he saw him leave, he couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief.

When Luo's wife, Luo Chenshi, saw her, she couldn't help asking: "Why, are you unhappy?"

Luo Pei seemed to be still preoccupied, frowning: "The King of Shu's intentions are a bit hard to bear!"

When the water was controlled last year, Luo Pei was almost out of the way, hoping for the help of the King of Shu, but unfortunately there was no response at all. Now that the water was successfully controlled and returned to Beijing, he received the emperor's encouragement, but he only paid three ceremonies a day.

Luo Pei couldn't help feeling a little chilled.

"It's easy to break a thief in the mountains, but it's hard to break a thief in the heart..." Luo Pei went back, turned on the lamp to add fuel to his desk, and wrote down the experience summed up this time in flood control. It was already midnight, and Luo Chenshi urged him to fall asleep .

After sleeping for less than two hours, she was woken up by Luo Chenshi.

"Huh? What time is it?" Luo Pei was still a little dazed when he woke up.

At this time, there was still more than an hour before going to court, because Luo Pei lived close to him, he would not be able to use half an hour after getting up to wash and go to court, so this time was a bit wrong.

Luo Chenshi said: "It's someone from the palace, I want you to go there immediately, the emperor has something to call you!"

"Oh!" Luo Pei turned over immediately, almost dodging his waist.

Luo Chenshi hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I've got someone to give you warm water, and I've brought all the official uniforms, so there's no time."

As he spoke, he personally served his husband and dressed him in official uniform.

At the same time, there were people washing up, eating some pastries in a hurry, and drinking a little water, so as not to dry out the throat, but they couldn't drink too much, so as not to lose their temper when they entered the palace to see the emperor.

Going out in a hurry, I saw a 30-year-old eunuch standing to the south, yelling: "There is a decree, Luo Pei will enter the palace immediately to face the king!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Luo Pei kowtowed deeply.

He went out in a hurry by bullock cart, and it was far from the time of the court, and the night was still late. Except for patrolling officers and soldiers, there was almost no one else on the street.

The sound of the wheels of the ox cart, creaking, made Luo Pei, who was sitting on it, feel a lot of thoughts and feel a little uneasy for no reason.

"The emperor suddenly asked me to enter the palace to discuss matters. Could it be related to water control?" Because the most recent achievement is water control, and usually in such a hurry, and summoned to the palace, all Luo Pei can think of is related to floods.

"Could it be that some dam has burst?"

But this idea, when the eunuch led him in with a lantern in the palace, was gradually replaced by doubts.

"Master Yu? The real Liu Zhan? There is also a Taoist?" Because he knew Yu Qianzhi and Liu Zhan, and had worked with Liu Zhan, Luo Pei realized it as soon as he saw them. Maybe it was him this time. Come here to discuss matters related to the water demon.

Looking at the Taoist with unfamiliar faces, Luo Pei was attracted by the argument between the three.

But even if you are curious about what they are talking about, you still have to meet the emperor first.

The emperor who was sitting at the top and listening with a sinking face, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and he obviously hadn't rested well. Seeing him prostrating, he waved directly: "Luo Qing, you don't need to be polite, what they said, You just listen."

"Yes!" Luo Pei got up and listened first.

Then I heard Liu Zhan saying coldly: "...so my opinion is, kill the dragon girl quickly!"

"How to kill it? It's hiding in the Dragon Palace, and it can't move out. Armored soldiers are useless, and even if the imperial court has a Daolu department, what good can it do?"

"The current method is still canonization, turning the dragon girl into Dazheng's own god, so that he can control the monster clan, make them bow their heads and obey their ears, and have to obey the orders of the court!" The strange-looking Taoist said coldly: "This is A method that has proven effective in previous dynasties."

"It works? Then why did the previous dynasty depose the Dragon Lord?" Liu Zhan even sneered: "Even if you hide in the Dragon Palace, under the whole world, could it be that the king's land can be defeated with a scroll of imperial decree?"

"One volume of imperial decree? You don't understand the law without the previous dynasty?" The strange-looking Taoist sneered: "When the former Wei Shizu, he tried it one by one."

"All dynasties have a destiny. Although the time is lost, the purpose of the next dynasty cannot be added to the previous dynasty."

"The so-called posthumous title, if it is for lonely souls and wild ghosts, it is difficult to interfere with the god of dragon spirit and blessed land. Only God's will can intervene."

"This Dragon Lord has been canonized by a considerable prince in the previous dynasty. Not to mention that the decree has cut most of its power. It is not the blessing of this dynasty to force it to fully enter the previous dynasty."

The two argued fiercely, Luo Pei understood that it was a discussion about Dragon Girl, no wonder he called himself over, and then thought: "It is the purpose of this dynasty to not interfere with the previous dynasty?"

This secret news was really beyond Luo Pei's expectations, and he was on his mind for a while.

Yu Qianzhi stood with his arms folded, but he was still alive, and said moderately: "You can wait and see first. The dragon girl is just a little dragon, but she suddenly became a dragon king. With the order of ten thousand monsters, all the monsters will not accept it. We can stand still. After they both lose, they will benefit from it."

Luo Pei heard this and looked at the emperor.

He found that the emperor seemed to be hesitating for a while, and just listened to the argument of the three with a sullen face and frowning.

In fact, what the three of them were arguing about gave Luo Pei some headaches, but the emperor asked him to listen, so he could only continue to "obey the orders".

"Your Majesty, it's time to go to court." At this time, the eunuch who had been waiting outside came in silently, reminding the emperor in a low voice.

"I'll think about it again." The emperor waved his hand: "Let them wait first!"

"Yes!" The chief eunuch didn't dare to listen to the discussion in the hall, and immediately retreated after getting the order, and went to the front to pass the letter.

It was not yet dawn outside the hall, but the ministers had already arrived one after another, and went to the outer hall to wait.

Like them, they can find a place to drink tea and wait. The three gongshi who are going to face the saint today can only stand outside the hall, blowing the cold wind, and dare not say a word.

Because Su Ziji is Huiyuan, he stands in the first place.

All the tributes have changed into official uniforms, including Su Ziji, who are now wearing Huiyuan, which is allocated by officials when they go to the Ministry of Officials.
