The Submissive Emperor - Chapter 37

“Why are you here?” Xiao Chengjun looked at him, but didn’t move. The late autumn morning was a bit cold. This warm embrace gave him a bit of greed.

“I can’t sleep, so I came to look for you.” Lou Jing buried his face on His Royal Highness’s chest, rubbed against the white shirt of the month, and still dishonestly scratched a small bean through the clothes.

Xiao Chengjun breathed tightly, and hurriedly grabbed the fumbled hand, “While it’s not bright, go back soon.” After finishing speaking, he couldn’t help frowning slightly. He was a little awkward when he said this, and he didn’t know what was wrong.

“Yamen only opened when it was past, so don’t worry,” Lou Jing put his leg on the other’s body and turned into an octopus to wrap Xiao Chengjun whole, rubbing unremittingly, humming, “You are not by your side at night, I I can’t sleep.”

Xiao Chengjun couldn’t help but smile when he heard the words. He stretched out his hand and patted the furry head, “Isn’t it a kid, do you want someone to accompany you to sleep?”

Lou Jing raised his head and gently bit Xiao Chengjun’s chin, “Why don’t I move over to live with you?”

“How did that happen?” Xiao Chengjun allowed him to bite, his heart soft and soft, but this was unacceptable. If Lou Jing really came over to live with him, he was afraid that something bad would come.

“Hmm…” Lou Jing took off Xiao Chengjun’s shirt with dissatisfaction, and grinded his teeth on the beautiful collarbone. He was just reluctant to talk separately. If he really lives in, gossip is a trivial matter. If Xiao Chengjun is impeached, his ambition will not die. , It caused the Chunde Emperor to suspect that the gain was not worth the loss.

“Master, it’s time to get up.” An Shun whispered outside the door, Xiao Chengjun is now a prince, and still wants to go to court.

The day is getting lighter and later. It is early in the spring and summer in Maoshi, and after October it will be pushed to the chenshi. That is the case, Xiao Chengjun also has the time to get up.

“Okay, don’t make trouble.” Xiao Chengjun rubbed Lou Jing’s hair with his chin, and got tired of lying on the bed for a while, finally coaxing Lou Jing to let him get up. It was not far from the morning time.

Le Xian and Anshun came in and waited. Seeing Lou Jing here, they didn’t react at first, so they habitually bowed to Lou Jing. Le Xian turned around to look for Lou Jing’s clothes. It took a long time to remember that this person is no longer the prince, why did he appear in the inner room of the palace?

Lou Jing smiled and glanced at the little **** Le Xian with his mouth wide open. He took the court clothes from Anshun and put on Xiao Chengjun with his own hands. The prince’s court clothes were moon-white, with eight four-claw silver dragons embroidered on them. Compared to the apricot and yellow prince’s suit embroidered with golden dragons, this prince’s suit was worn on Xiao Chengjun, making him look colder than before.

He spent some snacks with Xiao Chengjun, until his Royal Highness the King of Min went out to go to court, Lou Jing went over the wall and went back to the Vermilion Hall, changing his clothes and going to Beiya.

The North Ya Forbidden Army is dominated by the Yulin Army, and some other special Forbidden Army, such as the Shenshu Camp, are also among them, but the number is far less than the Yulin Army. The Habayashi army is mainly responsible for guarding the imperial city. There are about 2,000 stationed in the inner city and 8,000 in the outer city. The Habayashi army commander is under the jurisdiction of the general. There are two Habayashi army commanders, and the third rank is right and left. There are four generals in Habayashi Zhonglang, with four ranks.

The current commanding general is Uncle Qingyang, who is of Lou Jing’s uncle’s generation in terms of seniority, and if he gets into the Yamen, Lou Jing went to see Uncle Qingyang first.

Uncle Qingyang talked to him in a pleasant tone, “From now on, you will be the commander-in-chief of the left, and you must not be as playful as before. The commander-general does not have to go to the palace to watch the night, but you will have to take the ceremonial guards during the festivals every year.” Then, hand him a copy of the royal guard of honor, let him take a good look, and ask if you don’t understand.

When there is no crisis in the imperial city, the Habayashi army is mainly responsible for the inspection of the outer palace of the imperial palace and the guard of honor for the emperor. In addition to governing the subordinates, the left and right commanders also have an important responsibility, that is, when the emperor travels, he will stand on the left and right with a knife and lead the royal guard of honor. Therefore, not everyone can do a commanding general, and good looks is the most important thing.

“Yes,” Lou Jing took the pamphlet with a smile, and took out a brocade box from his sleeve. “The emperor gave him a prize a few days ago, and he brought it to the world’s uncle for fun.”

Uncle Qingyang answered with a smile, “Your kid has been clever since he was a child, and works hard.” Patting Lou Jing on the shoulder, he personally took him to meet his subordinates.

Said to be courtesy, in fact, these people were originally Lou Jing’s colleagues, and everyone knows them very well, but Lou Jing is now promoted to the next level, so naturally he has to meet again.

“I have seen Master Zuo.” The two generals and several young generals saluted together. In Lou Jing’s previous position, there was a young man who was similar to his age, and blinked at him as he bowed his head. Zhou Song, the second son of Kansai Hou.

“From now on, the first son of Anguo will be the newly appointed Zuo commander,” Qing Yangbo pointed to Zhou Song. “This is Zhou Song, the second son of Guanxi Hou, originally in the Shenshu camp.”

Lou Jing thanked Qing Yang Bo with a smile, and personally sent Qing Yang Bo away.

“Large building, didn’t you expect it?” After finishing the handover, and everyone went down to do their own things, Zhou Song couldn’t wait to get in.

“How much did your father spend to stuff you in?” Lou Jing raised his eyebrows and looked at him. Yu Lin Jun’s emperor’s close ministers are mostly the sons of Xungui. Guan Xihou is the master of the army, his dynasty. It’s not surprising that the second son can enter the Yulin Army.

“My dad is still in Guanxi, it’s up to us,” Zhou Song poked his chest with his thumb and hummed, and immediately dragged Lou Jing’s new Zuo commander’s uniform, smiling with an unkind expression on his face, “Dang Is the left commander the prestige or the crown prince?”

Lou Jing squinted his eyes and said gloomily, “It’s even more prestigious to beat you.”

“Oh, don’t.” Zhou Song smiled immediately.

When he was beaten by Lou Jing when he was a child, Zhou Song recognized Lou Jing as his elder brother, but his brother Zhou Chong was not convinced. Not to mention, he can only get beaten up by Shang Lou Jing.

Lou Jing smiled and said nothing, this week’s brothers are not the kind of dudes in Beijing, they are really capable. Now the eldest son Zhou Chong is following Guan Xihou to fight Tartar outside the pass. The second son knows how to drill the camp. I don’t know how many people are staring at the position of Zhong Lang. Both his father and brother are not in Beijing. Zhou Song can climb to this position on his own. This is evident by the means.

“Hey, the building is serious,” Zhou Song looked around, “I have business affairs to discuss with you, how about going to the Zuixianlou for a drink at noon?”

Zuixianlou is a famous restaurant in Beijing. Lou Jing likes to eat drunk crabs there, and now it is time to eat crabs.

Lou Jing glanced at him, “Fuck up to the peak, and you should slowly figure it out, you are too obvious.”

“Who wants to fawn on you,” Zhou Song sipped, lowered his voice, “I have a deal to tell you.”

Lou Jing curled his lips and nodded slightly, “No noon, night.” The second uncle and eldest aunt are going to leave tomorrow, so he has to go to Pingjiang Houfu to help.

“That’s right, let’s go to the Yichun Tower and ask Yueluo to sing a song,” Zhou Song immediately smiled with a slightly non-serious smile, “I heard that a new upright official is very pleasant, or…” Yichun Tower is the largest brothel in the capital. Zhou Song has always wanted to bring Lou Jing to go. However, Lou Jing’s filial piety period continues, and there has been no chance.

“Very good,” Lou Jing curled her lips, “I will go to the Zuixianlou to find you at sunset.”

“Okay, then I’ll go first…” Zhou Song responded with a smile, watching Lou Jing swing his sleeves away, and suddenly reacted, “Hey, why is Drunk Xianlou?”

Lou Jing ignored him, went straight out of Beiya, and walked to Minwang Mansion. When passing by Zuixianlou, he specially asked to make a drunk crab and send it to the Wang Mansion.

Xiao Chengjun went down to the court and returned to the Royal Mansion of Min. He saw the son of Anguo sitting obediently at the dinner table waiting for him to eat. Rubbing his forehead with a headache, “Why are you here again?”

“Today I suddenly remembered the drunk crab in Zuixianlou, and wanted to bring it for you to taste,” Lou Jing took His Royal Highness Min King into his seat, looked at his eyes and said, “I will leave after I have eaten.”

As soon as he said this, Xiao Chengjun couldn’t help but feel a little distressed, and sighed lightly, “It doesn’t matter if you come, I have something to tell you.”

The Qinghe incident is not over yet. People from the Ministry of Industry proposed that Qinghe is being repaired every year, which will cost the people and money. It is not necessary to directly widen the river and connect it to the canal. In this regard, it was mentioned that the canal has been in disrepair for a long time and should be renovated. Today this matter is brought up again, and Emperor Chunde has already approved it.

“Repair the river?” Lou Jing bit a crab leg and raised his eyebrows. “Who mentioned this?”

“As mentioned by the Ministry of Industry, Shen Lian is vying to be a supervisor.” Xiao Chengjun smashed the crab claws with a small silver hammer and put them in Lou Jing’s bowl.

The right faction and Shen Lian raised the matter at the same time, nothing more than to divert Emperor Chunde’s attention so that he would not investigate the imperial shrine in detail.

“Does the household department now have money to repair it?” Lou Jing remembered Xiao Chengjun saying that the treasury is not full now, and the cost of repairing the river channel is not a small amount.

“The tax money from various places will arrive next month, besides…” Xiao Chengjun’s eyes were a little cold, “Someone mentioned that he would be enlisted.”

Since ancient times, many wars have been caused by corvee. As soon as this remark came out, many ministers naturally opposed it, and the court quarrelled into a pot of porridge. In the end, there was no conclusion.

“What do you think?” Lou Jing took a bite of the tender crab claw meat, only to realize that Xiao Chengjun had knocked him off. He couldn’t help but curled his lips and put the freshly peeled crab roe into the bowl of His Royal Highness.

“Father is willing to repair the river.” Xiao Chengjun sighed lightly.

Emperor Chunde always felt that he was blessed by the heavens, and that he should do something that will last forever in his lifetime. He is naturally willing to repair the river course that sounds like a good thing for the country and the people. It’s just hard to say who will supervise the work if it is not levied or not.

After lunch, Lou Jing wanted to stay for a nap, but was driven out by Xiao Chengjun, and had to turn around one step at a time and leave Minwang Mansion.

Xiao Chengjun smiled and watched him walk away, then turned to Chang En and said, “People will guard the side door at night. If he comes and walk the door again.” The dishes will be locked at night.

“Yes.” Chang En bowed, thinking melancholy to find a reliable person to guard him.
