The next day, King Xingyang entered the palace early.
On the other hand, Li Jing, who had been drinking the night before, was absurd in the middle of the night, an hour later than usual.
Hearing that his father-in-law had been waiting for an audience in the Funing Hall, Li Jing felt a little guilty, changed clothes and groomed numbly, and walked much faster than usual.
Lu Lin was not in a hurry, and calmly greeted the emperor who walked quickly and sweating slightly on his forehead: “I have seen the emperor.” There
is only one queen in the harem, and the emperor is not just pampering other beauties.
He wished his son-in-law and daughter had a good relationship.
Li Jing hurriedly helped Lu Lin up with a smile, and explained with a shy face: “I drank a lot of wine last night, and I got up a little late today.”
Father-in-law didn’t mind at all, but his father-in-law smiled: “I didn’t wait long.”
Li Jing smiled cheekily and took his father-in-law to the imperial study.
This is where Li Jing usually studies, and the servants have all been sent out, but Weng and the son-in-law sit and talk to each other, which is much more intimate and casual.
Li Jing also refused to call himself “Zheng”, and smiled affectionately: “My father-in-law led the army abroad for more than a year and fought a lot of battles. Let me hear it.”
Lu Lin is also interesting, no matter what Li Jing calls him, he is still the same. A king in one bite.
Just gossip for half a day.
Until the father-in-law Xiaoyuan reported back and forth: “Report to the emperor, several ministers have important political affairs to report.” Great
Wei has a vast territory and daily state affairs are complicated.
The Son of Heaven alone cannot handle so many political affairs.
All memorials are advanced cabinet.
The cabinet ministers looked at it first, picked out the important ones, and presented them to the imperial front.
If there is an extraordinarily important matter, it must be reported and discussed in person.
So basically there are small chapels every day.
Li Jing said apologetically to Lu Lin, “I wanted to spend half a day with my father-in-law. I never thought about it, but another political event is coming.”
Lu Lin smiled and said: “State affairs are important. The minister has returned to the capital. In the future, when the emperor wants to see the minister, the minister can enter the palace at any time.”
This is true.
Li Jing smiled and said casually: “Father-in-law, don’t rush to go back, since you are entering the palace, go to Jiaofang Palace. At noon, eat with Xiaoyu.
”
This proposal is exactly what Lu Lin wants. The
father and daughter reunited yesterday, and they only met once. In just a few words, he went to the palace banquet. Today, if he has free time, he can sit with his daughter for lunch. An hour or two.
For him, this is the greatest reward and generous gift.
Lu Lin readily agreed: “The foreign ministers entered the harem, and the rules of the palace were not in harmony.
The emperor’s grace allowed the minister to enter the Jiaofang Hall to visit the queen’s concubine, and the minister went back with shame.
”
At this hour, Lu Mingyu just finished handling the palace affairs.
Hearing that his father was coming, Lu Mingyu was overjoyed, his black eyes were full of smiles, and he walked out to greet him
. Lu Mingyu couldn’t resist his father, so he had to let Lu Lin bow, and then stretched out his hand to help his father. The father and
daughter took their seats.
Lu Mingyu said with a smile, “I’ll let someone prepare lunch .
, Dad stayed for lunch at noon today.
”
Lu Lin smiled and said, “I didn’t plan to go back on an empty stomach when I came here.
“The
words were witty and witty, and Qiyun on the side pursed her lips and laughed lightly. Goodbye master, the corners of her eyes and brows were all smiles.
It’s been a long time since the empress was so happy.
Father and daughter, neither war nor political affairs, I just said some homely gossip, and I felt very comfortable. At noon, the three siblings came, and Li Jing also came back to dine with his father-in-law.
Lu
Lin felt great comfort.
Witnessed.
Li Jing became the emperor, and his attitude towards Lu Mingyu did not change at all. He was still the same as before. He served Lu Mingyu with vegetables for a while, and wiped the corners of his young son’s mouth with a veil. The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled from time to time.
…
Three days later, Lu Lin made a memorial that shocked all the ministers.
The Xingyang army fought a battle for more than a year, and made great achievements in quelling the rebellion of Yan and Chu.
There were also many casualties.
By convention, after the war, new soldiers should be recruited to replenish the troops.
Lu Lin’s memorial is the exact opposite.
It is to return the veterans who are over 40 years old to their hometowns.
In the army, a seasoned veteran can be worth three recruits.
Even Puyang Marquis was so shocked that his eyes widened, looking at Lu Lin with the same eyes as a fool.
Most of the 20,000 soldiers sent by the Zhao family were recruits.
The real elite soldiers were left behind.
Therefore, he gave up the 20,000 soldiers, although his heart ached, he would not hurt his bones.
In the future, if you want to expand the force, you can recruit new soldiers.
King Xingyang is too real, he wants to disperse all the veterans, this is going to cut himself off!
Li Jing, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was also startled by his father-in-law’s actions.
Weng and son-in-law had two gossips before, but father-in-law didn’t mention a word!
Why did it suddenly go up?
Li Jing was confused and didn’t know what to say for a while.
Lu Lin had already made up his mind. At this time, his expression was calm and he talked eloquently: “The first emperor fought for more than ten years to pacify the territory of Great Wei. Now the rebellion of Yan and Chu has been settled, and the four seas are calm. There is no need for so many troops in the army.
” If I want to return the veterans to their hometowns, I am also sympathetic to them for fighting year after year. Now that they are old, they should also be allowed to return to their hometowns, marry wives and have children, and live a peaceful life.”
“Repatriating the veterans will cost a lot of money to settle. It is up to Gao Shangshu and Yang Shangshu to pay more attention to this matter.”
Gao Shangshu of the household department recovered from his shock and immediately said, “King Xingyang said something serious.
At least half of the silver in the Great Wei treasury was used to support soldiers.
From the standpoint of the Ministry of Households, I really wish the fewer soldiers the better.
However, it is not possible to blindly reduce the strength of the army.
Without a strong army and force, once there is a rebellion, it will be a disaster for the country.
How to balance it is up to the Son of Heaven.
Qiao Ge considered it for a while, then opened his mouth and said: “The old minister thinks that what King Xingyang said is quite reasonable. Please, the emperor should answer the request of King Xingyang and order the veterans to return home.”
After speaking, he glanced at the Duke of Puyang.
Puyang Hou: “…” Let’s
see what he does.

Besides, he has given up 20,000 Zhao family troops and stayed in Yanchu as a garrison.
I still want to cut his flesh!
The Marquis of Puyang snorted inwardly, but Quan Dang didn’t see Qiao Ge’s meaningful attention.
Luo Shangshu has always been in the same camp as Qiao Ge, and Qiao Ge opened his mouth. Luo Shangshu couldn’t let go, and immediately handed over to play: “This minister agrees, please make the emperor’s order.”
The emperor on the dragon chair looked at his father-in-law, his eyes Complicated, after being silent for a long time, he said: “The memorial of King Xingyang, I have approved it!”
All the civil servants breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Lin also secretly praised in his heart.
Family love is one thing, imperial power is another.
In order to stabilize the imperial power, one has to be ruthless and make the right decisions when necessary.
If he can see through this, Li Jingcai is a qualified emperor.
