Huaqing Palace.

All civil and military officials were on holiday, but Emperor Yuan was still handling government affairs.

While reviewing the memorials, he asked the Crown Prince about the progress of ice making, "Prince, what is the current situation of the ice making department?"

"Father, the tools for making ice have been made, and the first batch of raw materials have been purchased. I am going to start making ice tomorrow. But... we are still short of manpower."

"What do you think?"

The prince answered without hesitation: "I think we can recruit people from the Supervisory Office first. There is still some time before the Supervisory Office is officially established, and they are idle at home. Besides, they are reliable."

Emperor Yuan nodded, "Then let's do this for now."

The prince wanted Jiang Yueyang to come and watch them make ice, but then he changed his mind and decided not to take up her vacation time.

After Emperor Yuan finished dealing with the memorial in his hand, he said, "Hao'er is not young anymore. I want to make him a king."

Hearing this, the prince did not have any special reaction, but just said: "If you are crowned as king, then my third brother will go to his fiefdom."

"He will be working in the Supervisory Department and will not be leaving Beijing for the time being."

"Which piece of land will the emperor allocate to my third brother?"

"Huazhou."

Huazhou is very close to the capital and occupies an important geographical location.

Not only does it have convenient transportation and a developed economy, it is also a frontier position for defending against foreign enemies and has close ties with the capital.

Emperor Yuan explained: "Hao'er is devoted to you. With him guarding Huazhou, you will be an indestructible barrier."

"I understand your father's intention."

"That's good to know."

At this time, the eunuch came in and reported, "Your Majesty, General Lu wants to see you."

Emperor Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and after a moment's silence, he slowly said, "Let him in."

Not long after the eunuch left, Lu Yunting came in.

He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Emperor Yuan waved his hand to decline the greeting.

Lu Yunting stood up, took out the jade pendant and presented it with both hands, "Your Majesty, I came to the palace to ask for an audience with Your Majesty to grant me and Lord Xiao Jiang a marriage."

As soon as these words were spoken, the pen in His Royal Highness's hand suddenly paused, and the expression on his face froze.

Emperor Yuan glanced at Li Fuquan, and Li Fuquan immediately went down and brought up the jade pendant.

Emperor Yuan held the jade pendant and asked, "What is this?"

"My Jade Order can mobilize 100,000 soldiers of the Lu Family Army."

Hearing this, Emperor Yuan rubbed the jade pendant in his hand with his fingertips and looked at Lu Yunting with deep eyes.

"Before your order, the Jade Order is just a decoration."

Lu Yunting cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. The 100,000 soldiers and horses under this Jade Order will only recognize the Jade Order."

Emperor Yuan did not doubt the truth of Lu Yunting's words, "Do you want to exchange the 100,000 soldiers of the Lu family army for a marriage contract between you and Jiang Yueyang?"

"yes."

Emperor Yuan remained silent.

Lu Yunting spoke again: "Your Majesty, when I find the murderer of my father, I will lay down my arms and return to the countryside. The Lu family army is loyal, and I hope Your Majesty can treat them well."

The prince lowered his eyes. For her, he could really give everything.

Emperor Yuan responded: "I agree to the marriage."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After Lu Yunting left, Emperor Yuan looked at the Crown Prince below and asked, "What do you think about Lu Yunting retiring from the army and returning to the countryside?"

The prince slowly stood up and said, "My father, General Zhenguo is old and will be unable to lead troops in a few years.

Lord Xie cannot leave the capital easily, as other generals are not as brave and good at fighting as General Lu.

If General Lu has no intention of rebellion, I think that if General Lu retires from the army, the court will lose a great general.

In addition, General Lu's name as a god of war intimidates the world. If the news of his retirement from military service were to spread, many forces would become restless, thus causing unnecessary wars. "

After hearing the prince's words, Emperor Yuan fell into deep thought.

＊＊＊

Back to Loge, after Luo Cheng learned that Loge had woken up, he dragged his seriously injured body over.

As soon as he reached the door, he asked anxiously: "Log, how are you? Are you okay?"

Seeing that the injuries on Luo Cheng's body were not much less serious than his own, a hint of surprise flashed in Luo Ge's eyes.

"I'm fine, why are you hurt like this?"

Luo Lie bribed that person to kill me, so why did that person go to the trouble of injuring Luo Cheng so seriously?

Or does Luo Lie also want to take Luo Cheng's life?

But if Luo Lie and Luo Cheng joined forces, Luo Lie should not take Luo Cheng's life at this time.

Then there are only two possibilities, one is that the person who betrayed was not Lu Cheng, and the other is that Lu Cheng was planning for himself.

He also wanted to be the King of Nanzhao.

Luo Ge was wrong. In fact, the real situation was that Ye Wuhen thought that he could not kill Prince Luo Cheng, but it was okay to seriously injure him.

That way, not only could the scheming Prince Luocheng be taught a lesson, but Jiang Yueyang wouldn't have to play with any princes or princesses, killing two birds with one stone.

Luo Cheng was helped by Duan Yi to sit on the stool in front of the bed, "I was going to ask you how you got hurt so badly?"

Loge coughed weakly twice, "That man is very skilled in martial arts, I am no match for him."

"Then how did you escape from his pursuit?"

Log's eyes moved slightly, and he replied calmly: "After that man injured me severely, he felt that I couldn't escape, so he let down his guard, and I took the opportunity to escape. Later, he chased me for a distance, and then seemed to be called back by someone."

After hearing what Lu Ge said, Lu Cheng did not have any doubts.

I was just thinking that the killer was so powerful that if he knew that Loge was not dead, he would definitely come to assassinate him again.

At that time, I would probably be killed too.

I nearly died last night.
