Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 449;

"Don't worry on my side. Most of me are in the villa. It's not so easy for them to trouble me."

"Besides, isn't there still an emperor?"

She is a lawless lord, and she dared to have the leg of Duke Zhenguo be broken just because of a plan.

To make trouble for her is to ask for bad luck.

"It's better to be careful."

King Jin smiled and nodded.

It's true that Lu Yaoyao has always kept a low profile. She didn't like to go to the capital to hang out with other dignitaries. Now that the Lu family has moved out of the capital, she hasn't been there once for more than a month.

Besides, she was the daughter of Emperor Hongwen, King Jin knew very well about Emperor Hongwen's protection of this daughter, so he could rest assured.

"when are you leaving?"

"This time, things are more urgent. I plan to go with Wenxiang tomorrow."

"Huh? Grandpa Wen is going too?"

"He was ordered to investigate the killing of the envoy, so we happened to drop by along the way."

Lu Yaoyao nodded, she woke up early the next day, packed up and left Chengyuan Villa by car.

When they arrived at the gate of the capital, all the envoys from the southern border had already arrived.

Headed by King Jin, there are also several officials from Honglu Temple.

"Be careful on the road."

"Well, don't stay on the mountain all day. Now that the weather is getting hotter, you should pay more attention to rest."

After the two said goodbye briefly, Wen Songtao also came over.

"Girl, if there is anything to do during this time, you can go to your Uncle Wen."

"Well, Grandpa Wen has to pay attention to his health when he has gone all the way."

Soon the convoy set off, Lu Yaoyao waved goodbye, and waited until the convoy disappeared before turning around.

Just as he was about to board the carriage and return to Chengyuan Villa, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Princess, go slowly."

"Eunuch Wang De?"

"Why are you here?"

Seeing this person, Lu Yaoyao was a little surprised. He wasn't serving Emperor Hongwen, what was he doing outside the capital early in the morning?
"The old slave has seen the princess."

Wang De walked in with a smile, saluted first, and then continued, "The old slave was ordered by His Majesty to go to Chengyuan Villa to invite the princess into the palace. I never thought of meeting him here."

"Please ask the princess to go to the palace with the old slave, okay?"

Emperor Hongwen summoned him, so what else is there to say.

"Qiu Yu, go back first and help me keep an eye on it. Qiu Shuang, follow me into the palace."

The two responded, and then Lu Yaoyao got into the carriage, took Qiushuang and followed Wang De into the palace.

At this time, the early court has dispersed, and Emperor Hongwen is reviewing the memorials in the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, the Princess has arrived."

"Please invite her in."

Emperor Hongwen put down the memorial, and not long after, Lu Yaoyao followed Wang De into the imperial study from the outside.

"You girl, you haven't entered the palace for a long time. I heard that King Jin said that you are watching the house on the mountain every day. In such a hot day, you can just leave this kind of thing to the servants to watch. Why do you have to suffer?"

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao first saluted with a smile, and then said, "You also said that it's hot today, so it's not the same if you stay at the bottom of the mountain. There are shade trees on the mountain, and there is mountain breeze, it's actually pretty good."

"That's true."

Emperor Hongwen smiled, stood up, and beckoned Lu Yaoyao to sit down beside him.

"I heard from King Jin that your house is very beautiful. When it is built, I have to go and see it myself."

"Welcome."

For her half-mountain villa, she herself is looking forward to it, but it will take a long time to build it.

Especially the tiling and so on, the craftsmen of Dongzhou don't know how to do it, she needs to give her advice, and then they can do it after they get familiar with it.

If you're not familiar with it, what does it look like when you post it? Why don't you make the villa she worked so hard to make nondescript?

"Your Majesty, I have summoned the minister's daughter to come over, what orders do you have?"

"What's the matter? There's nothing wrong, so I can't call you to the palace?"

Emperor Hongwen raised his eyebrows and asked back, his tone a little displeased.

"That's not true, it's just that the court lady is busy. The big house uses a brand new method, and the craftsmen don't know it, so the court lady has to give pointers."

"Do you know how to build a house?"

Lu Yaoyao smiled and shook his head.

"I don't understand, but I came up with that house, and I said they did it."

"I see."

"Okay, I'm looking for you this time because I actually want you to do something."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao frowned, saying that she was very busy, and asked her to do something?Isn't this just looking for trouble?
"The courtier is not free, you have a lot of people in the court, can you just arrange someone to do it?"

"."

She directly refused, which made Emperor Hongwen speechless. How could this girl not allow herself to finish her words before refusing?

"This matter is up to you."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Later, Emperor Hongwen told her what to do.

Because the King of Jin was suddenly sent to southern Xinjiang, he was originally in charge of a lot of things, Yan Yi was left to take care of the imperial army, and Emperor Hongwen's appointment has been rescinded, and Yan Yi temporarily took over the post of commander of the left imperial guard .

But Tiefang and Yanfang have not yet arranged for people.

It was naturally inconvenient for him to stay in the capital, but he left it to the people in the court. His most trusted Wen Songtao also went to investigate the killing of the envoys in southern Xinjiang. He was worried about the other people in the court.

So, after thinking about it, I thought of Lu Yaoyao. First, he had absolute trust in her. Second, no one was more familiar with the production of not only the iron workshop but also the salt workshop.

After all, she established these two workshops.

"Isn't this against the rules? I'm a woman, can I get involved in state affairs?"

Lu Yaoyao looked at Emperor Hongwen in surprise.

She also knew in her heart that Emperor Hongwen was looking for her because there was no one he could trust in the court for the time being.

I really want to help her, but it's not something she can do if she wants to.

The iron workshop and the salt workshop are both very important things of the imperial court. In the past, the king of Jin was in charge and no one dared to say anything. After all, the king of Jin was also an official of the imperial court.

If she went, it wouldn't be too polite. Although she built the iron workshop and salt workshop, she was only responsible for the establishment, and King Jin was in charge of the management from the beginning to the end.

Now that Emperor Hongwen asked her to manage it, why don't those pedantic civil servants in the court directly explode?

Women are not allowed to meddle in court matters, and now she is actually asked to control such an important place.

It's not that no one can use it.

Not to mention that civil officials are unwilling, I am afraid that military generals will not be willing either.

Lord Zhen Guo suggested that the king of Jin should go on an envoy, not only because he wanted to get the king of Jin out of the capital, but also because he wanted to take this opportunity to see if he could master the iron workshop and the salt workshop.

Now that he and Emperor Hongwen had torn apart in private, Lord Zhen Guo would no longer be as timid as before.

The iron workshop and the salt workshop are very important. The former is related to military supplies, while the latter is related to wealth. Coupled with military power, he can almost be invincible.

"That's why you're not allowed to come here."

He knew very well that this matter would never be easy, and neither the civil servants of the aristocratic family nor the people from Zhen Guogong's faction would give up this opportunity.
