Chapter 282: Meeting Jinling (Part 2)
Chapter 282 Meeting Jinling (Part 2)
"Sir, please come in. The lower official is Zhao Yuanjing, the head of the Secret Wen Pavilion. I am here to welcome him." At this time, a civil servant came to speak and bowed.
This civil servant is about thirty years old, with a white face and wearing an eighth-rank light red robe. He looks delicate and neat, without any delay.
Lu Gaoyi was stunned. He did not understand the system of the Dacheng Dynasty.
The eighth-rank official welcomed him, but he was also a Secret Pavilion. This was an institution close to the emperor, and he could not guess Wang Hongyi's intentions for a moment.
But the first thing at this time was not this, there was a mass bathhouse and of course a small bathroom.
"Adults have a hard time traveling, please shower to wash the dust." It led into a small room with a small white marble bathtub and a carved ebony wardrobe around it.
There was also a three-legged round table with some wine on it. Two girls bowed and served.
By the way, when the navy marched, the water storage in the ship was limited. Even if you eat fresh water, you only had one cup per person a day, and there were ten thousand more people. The cabin was full of stuff. If you didn't take a shower for more than ten days, you would smell it. Lu Gao was not polite and went inside.
When he got inside, the girl pulled the bell. After a moment, a hot water gushed out from a tube, steaming steamed into the pool. Lu Gaoda was surprised and asked, "Why is this?"
A girl said, "Sir, this is a stone fire (coal) boiling water from outside, and it leads to the pools through the pipes."
One of them said again: "My maid serves the adults to change their clothes!"
For others, it may be strange, but it is normal for Lu Gao. Now, under the service of two girls, he untied his clothes and walked into the pool.
The girl held another plate, and there was a glass of wine poured into it: "Sir, this is for blood circulation."
Lu Gao was soaking in hot water and drinking another glass of wine, but thought to himself: "It's so luxurious!"
There was something in my heart. After a quarter of an hour of washing his body, he got up and the two girls walked forward with the plates.
One plate is underwear, white underwear, shoes and socks, and the other plate is a blue shirt, with a heavy golden crown on it.
Judging from this situation, Lu Gao was a little confused again. His clothes were ordinary, but the golden crown was not a fifth grade or above.
He changed into clothes, put on shoes and socks, and put on a golden crown. The size was just right. The girl led her out again and pushed open the door and saw a hall inside.
The hall is not big, there is a banquet and an incense table.
At this time, except for Zhao Yuanjing, there was a eunuch waiting. When he saw the eunuch, Lu Gao was shocked. Before he could speak, he heard the eunuch stand to the south of the incense table with a expressionless face and elongated his voice: "The imperial edict is here!"
Lu Gao was stunned and quickly knelt down: "My memory, Lu Gao, listen to the emperor!"
"The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun ordered that Lu Gao, the former governor of Youzhou in Yan, can resist foreign tribes, be loyal and righteous, and I am very grateful to me. He was appointed as the general of the enemy. Xu commanded the old subordinates and gave him a house in the West Street of Jinling. I came to Jinling and had not met his family yet. I have only allowed a holiday for one month, so I don't have to see you and reunite with my family. I admire this!"
After reciting the imperial edict in his hand, the eunuch who was originally expressionless said with a smile: "General Lu, please thank you for your kindness!"
"My minister Lu Gao, thank you for your kindness, long live, long live, long live!" When Lu Gao heard this, he took the imperial edict and knelt on the ground and yelled thank you.
"General Lu, the Sa family is here to congratulate the general!" The eunuch could not interfere in state affairs, so he could only say this.
When Lu Gao said the eunuch's words in the first year, he could not tell the truth or falsehood. He looked grateful and said quickly: "This is the great kindness of the emperor. I also ask my father-in-law to report to His Majesty for Lu, and he said that His Majesty's great kindness. Lu was so grateful that he would definitely repay him with all his best efforts!"
"Don't worry, General Lu, you will report your Majesty to your words without saying a word." The eunuch said, waved his hand: "The emperor's order is here, and you must reply immediately. Sa's farewell!"
Some personal soldiers wanted to go up and stuff money, but were rejected and left in a blink of an eye.
"I am also congratulating the military gate." At this time, Zhao Yuanjing also came up and said, "The military gate is hard, so please go to the seat and use it. I will give you some explanation!"
Lu Gao calmed down and said, "Please!"
After entering the mat, the table was full of dishes, but it was not too expensive, and twelve colors of dishes were served.
Lu Gao knew about this person's banquet, so he didn't hesitate to use it. After almost using it, he raised his glass to greet the adult, saying that it was over.
Zhao Yuanjing entered the Secret House and wanted to behave in a manner that had the meaning of "washing dust" - this table, Zhao Yuanjing just accompanied the guest, moved a few chopsticks, and then watched. Now that he saw that it was over, he ordered him to take it down and serve tea again, and then he said.
"The military may not be clear about the system of this dynasty. This dynasty has five people, one team, one fire, one team of five fires, one team of two teams and one battalion. This is all the same as the previous dynasty."
"Five camps and one guards, five guards and one capital, three capitals and one capital."
"The military lord is actually a military rank in the government. The military system is 10,000 and the third rank. This is the highest military position in the permanent leadership of this dynasty."
"This is the grace of the emperor!" After hearing this, Lu Gao stood up and bowed to the imperial edict.
"The military generals must be counted by the Ministry of War, and be granted a certificate. The military gate can go back to visit first. The military gate itself's official positions, seals, and proclaims will be delivered to the mansion within three days. You are a third-rank military general and can have a hundred soldiers!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Yuanjing bowed: "The responsibilities of the officials have been fulfilled, so I will say goodbye."
After Zhao Yuanjing left, he sent Lu Gao to the door and his smile gradually faded.
Don't have to see you?
What exactly did the emperor think about himself?
As for not going to the military camp within a month, this is normal. Lu Gao was prepared for it. In fact, it was already a great grace to allow him to take over his old subordinates.
If an ordinary general receives this imperial edict, he will not be too happy, but Lu Gao sucks every word of the imperial edict, and his heart suddenly turns a lot.
"Master, everyone has left, are we..." A personal soldier came over to ask.
When Lu Gao heard this, he was stunned and woke up.
The emperor has given a mansion, but in fact, this mansion has been given a long time ago. Now it is just made public. Of course he moved there, but...
"Remember, you are not allowed to be called the general in the future." Lu Gao waved his hand and said.
The personal soldiers were stunned: "Then we will..."
"Come to call him a general or military sect!" Lu Gao said casually. Since he came to Jinling, he should pay more attention to his words and deeds and deeds. This place is no longer Youzhou, no longer he is the main one. Some names that implicitly separatist aura must be changed.
"...uh, military gate, are you going to this new mansion now? Or... just now, the villain heard that the old lady and the others have been taken there."
"Let's go here!" Lu Gao sighed. No matter what, it is a blessing in disgrace to be able to reunite his family.
Now I don’t have much luggage, just some gold, silver and fine soft clothes.
Some of the other property was dedicated to the emperor, and some of them had already been moved here, and they didn't carry much.
When I went out, I found that the bathhouse was still continuing. After the soldiers in Youzhou had finished washing and after inspection, they all came out. They were wearing brand new military uniforms, but they were the number clothes of the Dacheng court.
After taking a look from a distance, Lu Gao sighed, got on the carriage, and said, "Go to the mansion!"
These old subordinates would be re-naturalized by the Ministry of War within a month. At this time, they were already in trouble and only took their personal soldiers to their homes.
The carriage recognized the road, and after half an hour, he arrived in front of a mansion on the West Street of Jinling.
The gate of this mansion is wide, with two large stone lions in front of the door, and a plaque on the main door with four words "Important to Lu Mansion".
As soon as the team arrived in front of the door, the people inside received news.
The main door immediately opened, and the old lady who was supported by someone, as well as Lu Gao's wives, concubines and children, all came out from it.
After a long time of absence, Lu Gao hurriedly saluted forward during this meeting.
The old lady suppressed her excitement and looked at her. Seeing that her son had indeed lost a lot of weight, her face was a little pale, and her heart ached and she almost burst into tears.
But he said, "My son, it's good to come back, it's good to come back."
When you enter the door, you will see that there are corridors and several main rooms inside.
They all went to the room, carved beams and painted buildings, and walked into the inner courtyard. When they arrived at the inner courtyard, the outsiders went out. Then the old lady cried out: "My son, our family can finally be reunited this time."
Lu Gao knelt on the ground, tears flowed out, and said, "Mom, my son is incompetent, he has not defended Youzhou, and has not saved his ancestors' foundation..."
"My son, I have heard about you. It's not your fault. And as long as you are here, the family business can always come back."
"Mom, son understands, don't worry..."
"Just understand, just understand." The old lady sighed and said to others: "Why don't you give your father a gift?"
At this time, the children came forward and bowed: "I have met my father."
After a while, the people were dispersed. The old lady, the legitimate wife, and Lu Gao entered the house to talk.
Lu Gao's wife is the eldest daughter of the prefect Wen Ce. She is gentle and virtuous and has a good relationship after marriage. Lu Gao respects his first wife very much and talks together at this time.
At this time, Lu Gao settled down and returned to his true nature, and said.
"Now, when our Lu family arrived in the Dacheng dynasty, the situation was different. First of all, it was the problem of the tribe members. There were 300 tribe members within the five sermons of the Lu family, and 2,000 people in the tribe. How to place them is a problem."
"Second, this time I brought another 110,000 taels of silver and collected the original 270,000 taels, which is 380,000 taels, right?"
After hearing this, Lu's wife said, "Yes, but when we arrive in Jinling, everything costs money, and silver flows out like water..."
Lu Gaomu listened with a face and waved his hand: "This is what I want to say."
"We are no longer the Lu family in Youzhou. It is impossible to not settle such a multi-parented person. We must buy land and buy property. Moreover, it is not possible to gather together like this. As a minister, I have gathered thousands of people to do nothing, which is very eye-catching."
"I mean, the tribe members outside the Five Seasons gave some money to buy houses and land to settle them. The emperor also had an order in this regard. If the land was divided, it would be almost the same as the sum."
"The people in the five wards also need to separate their families, each with a room, so that they will not pay attention." At this point, after a pause, Lu Gao asked, "Mother, what do you think?"
"My son said it right. Now it's time and time. It's not good to gather so many people together. Moreover, each room has private money. If you have the idea, you'll just place it." The old lady said, "I'll come forward if you have any complaints, but my son, how much are you going to pay?"
"I will pay 380,000 taels, and I can always place all the upper and lower parts." Lu Gao said, seeing his wife's face was a little bad, he sighed and said, "Don't be reluctant to give up money. This is even a sacrificial field. Buying land, houses and cows requires money in everything. This is a necessary time."
"My family has 200,000 taels of silver. First of all, I have to buy land. I can't buy more here, not more than 3,000 acres. But I can buy some shops or boats in Jinling. You can do these things... I can't spend too much energy here."
At this time, Lu's wife calmed down and said, "Husband, stop talking. I understand. You are the one who does a big deal and want to take someone back to your hometown. I will not cause trouble for you with family affairs!"
