Chapter 384 Transfer
Lu Xueyin waved her hand: "Don't be too careless. Things haven't been settled yet. We still need to be cautious and don't let our efforts go to waste."
Tan Feng said, "Now the whole world is under your control. Who else can compete with you? There is no need to fear them."
This is true. No one in the world can be a match for Lu Xueyin.
Gao Ming said, "The more this is the case, the more cautious we must be. It's easy to dodge an open attack, but it's hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. General Tan, your Excellency's safety is now in your hands. You must be extremely careful." He paused, looking at your Excellency, "You should also be more careful. Don't wander around and put yourself in danger."
Lu Xueyin often likes to go on incognito visits, visiting locals, visiting night markets, and so on. Unfortunately, her reputation is too high, and everyone knows her. She's easily recognized whenever she goes out, making her a perfect target for assassinations.
Lu Xueyin nodded obediently. She was also worried about her own safety.
Lu Xueyin said, "We should make plans for the capital as early as possible. We have no roots there." She looked at Ji Ping and said, "Ji Ping, when we return to the capital next year, the safety of the capital will be in your hands. Let Tan Feng cooperate with you."
Lu Xueyin considered giving Ji Ping the position of Commander of the Ninety-Century Military Department, while Tan Feng would be the Commander of the Imperial Guards. In reality, the responsibilities of these two positions overlapped significantly, so they should have been held by the same person. However, Tan Feng's workload was too heavy. The capital was Emperor Qianyuan's territory, and as the ruler of a nation, he was bound to have many hidden agendas. She had no stronghold in the capital, and Tan Feng's responsibilities were heavy, so she asked Ji Ping to share some of the burden.
Ji Ping agreed solemnly.
Lu Xueyin looked at Chen Songyuan again and said, "Mr. Chen, please go back and handle the affairs of Quzhou as soon as possible and hand them over to a reliable person. After you have dealt with the affairs of Quzhou, you can come back to Beijing with me."
Chen Songyuan didn't stay with Lu Xueyin because he had too many things to deal with. Lu Xueyin also held the position of Governor of Quzhou. In recent years, she had been away on military campaigns, and all her affairs were handled by Chen Songyuan.
Who would understand? He had to deal with all the affairs of Quzhou at the same time, such as what to do if Dai Jitong and Fan Zhenxi had a quarrel, or what to do if the goods were sold at a loss this time. He was in a bad mood.
Lu Xueyin remembered Chen Songyuan's selfless hard work.
Chen Songyuan responded, "Yes."
Lu Xueyin said, "The Ministry of Revenue will be handed over to Mr. Chen from now on. Although the Crown Prince is willing to make concessions, he doesn't mind putting some obstacles in my way. He has been handling state affairs for the past few years, but I'm afraid he won't be able to give me the Ministry of Revenue's accounts and the treasury's silver without hesitation."
There is a way to hand over power, and the prince is not such a docile person.
Money is no small matter. Lu Xueyin has suffered enough from not having money, and Chen Songyuan naturally understands the seriousness of the matter.
Chen Songyuan nodded heavily, feeling the burden on his shoulders getting heavier. "Yes, sir, don't worry. I will definitely sort things out for the Ministry of Revenue."
There is also the integration of accounts. Lu Xueyin's private treasury and money from various places must be recorded separately.
Just thinking about it, Chen Songyuan felt the burden on his shoulders become heavier. But he was still very happy, very happy.
The long-cherished wish is finally coming true.
Lu Xueyin looked at Wei Dong hesitantly again. She said, "The Yilin Army has just surrendered, and there are still many things to deal with. Wei Dong, this matter has to be handed over to you."
Wei Dong is doing this now, but Lu Xueying brought it up separately because it means that Wei Dong cannot follow Lu Xueying back to Beijing, and he has to stay in Lin'an Prefecture.
This wasn't a big deal, just follow your lord's orders. But Weidong was still Zhaoxi's husband, and the young couple had to face the situation of living apart.
Lu Xueyin loved Zhaoxi so much that she hesitated. But Weidong was the best candidate right now. He was smart, prudent, and good at dealing with people. In just a few days, he and Dou Ye got along well.
He is the most suitable candidate.
Wei Dong didn't care at all and nodded slightly: "Yes, my lord, don't worry, I will definitely help you solve your problems." He smiled and said: "Zhao Xi will definitely stay with you, my lord, I have nothing to worry about."
Wei Dong knew his own limitations and did not dare to challenge Lu Xueying's position in Zhao Xi's heart. He could only ask Lu Xueying to take good care of Zhao Xi.
Lu Xueyin breathed a sigh of relief, yet also felt a bit guilty: "It won't be long. Once things here are settled, I'll summon you to the capital. Otherwise, I'll have Zhao Xiduo come to see you."
Wei Dong was overjoyed: "Thank you for your consideration."
Others watched, envious. This was the treatment of someone above them. It was different after marrying Lu Xueyin's beloved maid.
Others can't envy him, because he has a good wife.
Lu Xueyin looked at Gao Ming and said, "Mr. Gao, you need to return to the capital first. Someone needs to take charge of the situation in the capital."
Gao Ming is now the Governor of Ningzhou. He's doing a good job, keeping Yan Xing and Cui Jun in check. But now the situation has changed. They have no roots in the capital, so Gao Ming needs to go back and sort out the complicated relationships so that he can take over when Lu Xueyin returns to the capital.
Although the Crown Prince agreed, would anyone in the court be dissatisfied? Would there be any unexpected events during the power transition? Who would have different opinions, who would be dissatisfied with Lu Xueyin and plan to cause trouble? These things needed to be clarified.
This is not an easy task, and Gao Ming is still worried.
Gao Ming and Chen Songyuan exchanged a glance. They were both in the same boat, but neither of them was dissatisfied. Instead, they were filled with energy and enthusiasm. This was the result they had been striving for, and it was finally coming true. Everyone felt a sense of excitement and satisfaction.
After Lu Xueyin arranged things, the entire Lu family system began to get busy, and it could be said that one move affected the entire body.
First up was Chen Songyuan, who immediately rushed back to Quzhou. Even the freezing weather couldn't dampen his enthusiasm. He wanted to return to Quzhou as quickly as possible to hand over his official duties, then head directly to the capital to reunite with Gao Ming.
The same goes for Gao Ming. He also has to hand over his official duties and then rush to the capital.
Once the two of them took action, the positions of governor of two states would be vacant. Lu Xueyin also did not intend to continue serving as the governor of Quzhou. She planned to step down and be reappointed.
So the question is, who can take on this important task?
Before leaving, Chen Songyuan discussed this with Lu Xueyin. "Fan Zhenxi is quite good. He's done a great job in the union over the past few years. Although he's a scholar, he's not pedantic. He even goes to the docks to chat with the fishermen. Everyone likes him very much."
Lu Xueyin has always valued the people. She will only use those who can bend down to interact with the people and understand their needs.
Sure enough, Lu Xueyin's eyes lit up and she felt a little satisfied.
However, this position was too important, and Lu Xueyin couldn't rely on the opinion of one person. As long as one was human, there would inevitably be bias and preferences. Even she herself was a little partial to Wei Dong because of Zhao Xi, wasn't she?
Lu Xueyin thought for a moment and said, "Well, he's a good candidate. But as for the candidates, please recommend a few more. When you go back, have Dai Jitong select a few people as well. It doesn't matter if they are from Quzhou. As long as they are suitable, you can recommend them."
Gao Ming, who was standing beside him, said with a smile, "Why don't you hold a recruitment exam to attract talents?"
After these words were spoken, Chen Songyuan's eyes also showed a hint of smile.
They had all taken the recruitment exam and were subsequently recruited by Lu Xueyin. It had been so many years, and they were the two who had achieved the highest positions in the recruitment exam.
Lu Xueyin refused to agree to this request. Her recruitment was rather hasty, like a makeshift troupe, not a proper imperial examination. She would wait until she ascended the throne and held the first special examination, where she would conduct a large-scale selection of talents.
Chen Songyuan also said something on Fan Zhenxi's behalf: "I know it's good for you to be cautious, but Fan Zhenxi is indeed very suitable for this position. I am willing to vouch for him, and I hope you will consider it."
Lu Xueyin was a little surprised that Chen Songyuan actually praised Fan Zhenxi so much.
