Lu Yun walked around the Prime Minister's Mansion carefully. After a while, Wang An asked the servants to prepare food and wine.
Since the guests have come, he naturally has to entertain them warmly.
"Eunuch Lu, please."
"Today we won't go home until we are drunk."
"Eunuch Lu hasn't had a proper welcome for you since he came back, and I'm really excited!"
"If it weren't for Eunuch Lu, I'm afraid the capital would become very dangerous, and His Majesty would be in a state of panic."
"Thank you, Prime Minister Wang."
In this way, the dishes were cooked five times and the wine was drunk three times.
Both of them were extremely happy, at least neither of them told each other what they really thought.
"By the way, Prime Minister Wang, who do you think assassinated me? After all, they sent out a great master, and I have made too many enemies in the court."
"I really can't figure out who would kill me like this. Am I really that hateful?"
Wang An frowned, suddenly feeling a little nervous. "Eunuch Lu, I don't know what's going on here either. Please investigate thoroughly."
"To dare to assassinate our country's most important official, this person must be a traitor."
Lu Yun shook his head. "No, everyone is working for their own interests. It's not that big of a deal."
"My death won't have much impact on the Great Zhou."
"Prime Minister Wang, do you hate me too? Do you want me dead too?"
Wang An's hand, which was holding the wine glass, began to tremble when he heard these words, and he could hardly hold the glass.
"Eunuch Lu, please don't talk nonsense. How could I hate you?"
"I know very well that if it weren't for Eunuch Lu, how could I sit in this position so safely?"
Lu Yun smiled lightly, "Prime Minister Wang, why don't we open the window and talk frankly."
"We are all smart people. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about what happened today. Everyone can see that you don't like me, you even hate me."
"And you often advise His Majesty and talk about me."
"I know what Prime Minister Wang is thinking. It's just that eunuchs are ruining the country. It's recorded in many historical records that eunuchs are ruining the country!"
"Once a eunuch in any palace gains power, it proves that the dynasty will not last long. Didn't the Qin Dynasty, which is closest to us, suddenly fall because of eunuchs?"
"You scholars like to learn from history, don't you?"
Wang An didn't expect that Lu Yun could say these words so calmly. It seemed that he didn't think these words were an insult to him.
Is he so open-minded because he feels guilty?
"That's right. I won't pretend anymore. It's true. Once a eunuch gains power, it will have a huge impact on the emperor."
"The power of us ministers all comes from His Majesty, but if the eunuchs' power becomes too great, it will have an impact and may even put His Majesty in a dilemma."
"Once the eunuchs' power becomes too great and they can control everything, it's hard to imagine what the consequences will be."
"I've said so much, Eunuch Lu should understand."
Lu Yun seemed to be thinking about something, and then smiled and said, "Prime Minister Wang is right. After all, you are the prime minister. The fact that you can think this way means that you are absolutely loyal to His Majesty, and you also have concerns for our Great Zhou."
"I understand what Prime Minister Wang means. He simply believes that a eunuch like me will also harm the country. If my power is expanded, I will become a person that everyone hates."
"But, Prime Minister Wang, rest assured, I can have a long talk with you, sitting here and discussing this matter. I will definitely not betray Your Majesty!
We will not deliberately suppress you either."
"Prime Minister Wang, so you really want me to die outside, right?"
Wang An did not deny this statement. "Yes, I wanted you to die outside, but you survived. I originally wanted to find a group of people to kill you outside the capital."
"But I couldn't find any trace of you. I didn't know where you went. I didn't receive any news until you returned to the palace."
"I thought you had guessed someone wanted to kill you, so you deliberately disguised yourself. I didn't expect you to be ambushed."
Lu Yun was stunned. He was just testing what Wang An thought and did towards him, but he didn't expect... there would be an unexpected surprise.
Wang An actually wanted to kill himself, but it was a pity that he didn't do it.
Or maybe I'm just too unlucky.
"Eunuch Lu, if you have any thoughts after hearing this, please tell His Majesty about this matter. I have no regrets and I believe I did the right thing."
Lu Yun smiled lightly, "Prime Minister Wang, I'm not as petty as you, so it's understandable that you want to kill me.
But the people you sent didn't attack me or didn't find me, so how can I blame you?"
"However, Prime Minister Wang, you don't have to do this. First of all, you can't kill me, and secondly, I won't do anything that is detrimental to the Great Zhou."
Wang An looked at me in confusion, but he actually admired me in his heart. He didn't expect that Lu Yun didn't show any emotional fluctuation after hearing what he said.
Instead, he looked very calm and composed, which was so strange!
Can he really be so open-minded?
I have to say, this is a very difficult matter.
If it were me, if I heard someone wanted to kill me, I would definitely be furious, or at least not so calm.
"Is that true?"
"What if you do something detrimental to our Great Zhou, or something that makes His Majesty unhappy?"
Lu Yun said in an unusual tone, "I won't do that. Even if there is, I will do everything I can to solve it!"
"If such a day ever comes, Prime Minister Wang can come and kill me, but I can also leave on my own."
"good!"
Wang An was completely convinced. This Lu Yun was really capable. If he became a civil official, he would definitely shine in the court of the Great Zhou. At least he would be much better than that guy Yang Zhong.
"So who do you think it will be?"
"It's unclear at the moment."
Lu Yun thought, Yang Zhong could be considered one too!
Apart from this, there seemed to be very few people in the Zhou Dynasty who were still willing to take action against him. Could they be spies from other countries?
Lu Yun knew very well that there were definitely traitors from other countries in the Great Zhou, whether they were from neighboring countries or the Han Empire.
"Then, I hope that Eunuch Lu can find the murderer as soon as possible."
"But according to my thinking, a great master came to kill Eunuch Lu."
"He shouldn't be from my Great Zhou. My Great Zhou doesn't have a third Grandmaster."
"If there were others, I would have died long ago."
"A great master is a nightmare to the people of our entire land."
"That's right."
Lu Yun didn't ask any more questions, and the two continued to drink and eat.
He also gave Wang An some strategies for governing the country, asking him to think carefully and put them into practice.
After all, as the prime minister, he sincerely assisted the emperor.
