Lu Chen accepted Fan Zeng as his disciple, it was so sudden and so unexpected.
Although the ceremony of accepting a disciple was simple and there were only a few people watching, from today on, Fan Zeng was indeed Lu Chen's disciple.
During the apprenticeship ceremony, Lu Chen solemnly handed a book to Fan Zeng and said, "This book represents half my life's hard work. You must study it carefully!"
After hearing this, Fan Zeng's face suddenly showed an enthusiastic expression, and he said excitedly: "Please rest assured, teacher, I will definitely not let you down."
Li Xiang, who was standing beside him, was also very excited. He casually pulled off a jade pendant from his body and handed it to Fan Zeng, saying, "Junior brother, this is a gift from me for your entry into the profession. Please keep it well."
Although Li Xiang is not very old, she was very impressive when she said this.
He was very excited. He finally became the eldest senior brother. It felt so wonderful.
Lu Chen took a look at the jade pendant that Li Xiang handed over and cursed in his heart, calling it a waste of money.
But when he thought about what Fan Zeng might do next, he felt relieved.
Even criminals have to eat a bowl of last meal before they die, let alone their own land.
Lu Chen also instructed Mou Ping, who was standing beside him, "Since he's my disciple, his treatment should be improved. Get him a single room and a special allowance every month. Have the Jinyiwei brothers go to his home and greet the officials in his hometown, asking them to take good care of his family."
Seeing that Lu Chen had arranged all these things properly, Fan Zeng was so moved that tears filled his eyes.
At this moment, he felt that he had made the best decision in his life, and he felt that he had found the right person.
"Master has been so kind to me, I will repay his kindness even if it means staking my loyalty to him!"
From a certain perspective, both sides are indeed heading in two directions.
After making arrangements with Fan Zeng, Lu Chen turned around and went back to his room to start writing a memorial.
Li Xiang, who was accompanying him, stretched her neck curiously and asked, "Master, what are you planning to do?"
"Of course, you're writing a memorial to your father to ask for money. There's an epidemic in the south, and the six ministers of state gathered together today and couldn't figure it out. It's unreliable to rely on them. It's better for the Chinese Academy of Sciences to find a solution!"
Just these few simple words made Li Xiang feel extremely proud.
Those so-called ministers in the court are indeed a bunch of good-for-nothings. Once something big happens to the country, they will wander around like headless flies.
At critical moments, we still have to look to the Chinese Academy of Sciences!
As a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, she is also proud of it. Li Xiang even feels that she has participated in the governance of this country. This is too high-end!
"Master has really sacrificed a lot for this country. This money cannot be saved, and we must ask for more."
Lu Chen touched Li Xiang's head with satisfaction, thinking to himself, you are such a good son!
The next morning, Lu Chen's memorial was delivered to the emperor's desk. At the same time, at the grand court meeting, the six ministers, as expected, quarreled again.
Looking at the six ministers who were about to take action, and then looking at the memorial in his hand, Li Zhuo became even more upset.
Seeing that the six ministers had argued for a long time without reaching any conclusion, Li Zhuo snorted and said, "Since you can't come up with anything, then listen to me first."
Li Zhuo waved the memorial in his hand and said, "This is a memorial submitted by the Imperial Master. It mentions several types of supplies that the court needs to purchase. However, as far as I know, the prices of these supplies have skyrocketed since yesterday. What are your opinions on this matter, my dear ministers?"
Upon hearing this, all the ministers fell silent, looking at their noses, their mouths, and their hearts in silence.
Li Zhuo snorted angrily and said, "Since you six departments are unwilling to take on this matter, then let the Imperial Master nominate someone to do it."
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, and many people looked at Lu Chen with a much kinder look.
Look at what has happened. If you wanted to take action, you should have said so earlier. You made everyone feel so embarrassed just now. You are such a little naughty boy!
Seeing that the six ministers had no objections, Li Zhuo nodded and said, "I wonder who the Imperial Master plans to recommend for this task?"
"I have a disciple named Fan Zeng, who has inherited my true teachings. What's even more valuable is that he has a heart of loyalty to the emperor and his country. I think he is the most suitable person to handle this matter."
"Of course, my apprentice currently holds no official position and hasn't even taken the imperial examination, so my only concern is that he lacks the rightful position."
A group of officials looked at Lu Chen with smiles on their faces, thinking that it was nothing difficult, it was just an official position, it was just a matter for the officials in the court and His Majesty to do.
Li Zhuo also smiled and nodded, saying, "That's not a problem. I will grant him the position of Imperial Envoy."
The so-called imperial envoy actually does not have a specific official position. It is an informal title used to deal with the current situation.
The power of the imperial envoy is very great. It can be said that he is here in person. Lu Chen bowed and said, "Then please grant me the Imperial Sword, Your Majesty."
"allow!"
Li Zhuo agreed very readily. Although the ministers below felt that the power given was a bit too much, no one said anything at this time.
Are you kidding? Are you saying this now and asking for excitement?
If you think this suggestion is inappropriate, why don’t you do it?
Just like that, a process that was obviously very cumbersome passed by so quickly with everyone's consent.
