Chapter 180 Father Gives You a Marriage
Xin Poshan's mother is still in the capital, he definitely won't do anything rash.
But the same cannot be said for Long Wudi.
He has no children, no father and no mother, and is difficult to deal with.
It would be perfect for Su Jiao to cling to him.
Moreover, Su Jiaoyun had suffered from him before, and they were irreconcilable. If Long Wudi had any evil intentions, Su Jiaoyun would definitely try every means to sabotage them.
If they encounter pirates on the sea, Su Jiaolian, a woman leading the charge, can also make the other side relax their vigilance.
If you think about it this way, Su Jiaojiao can play a big role by going overseas with us.
So he instructed: "Long Wudi is here too, you keep a close eye on him for me along the way. If he makes any unusual moves, join forces with Jing'er and Xin Poshan to kill him."
"Don't worry, I will keep a close eye on him." Upon hearing Long Wudi's name, Su Jiaojiao became angry and showed her sharp teeth.
This time, she must avenge her past shame! She doesn't believe there is a man in this world that she can't seduce.
…
Lu Yanshi arranged everything and asked Qin Tianjian to choose an auspicious day to prepare to send the army off collectively.
Naturally, he was worried about his son going away like this.
The night before leaving, he asked the master for several talismans for his son to wear, and secretly arranged for guards to follow him.
Lu Jing was deeply moved when he learned what his father had done for him.
The ninth sister is indeed a lucky star. Since her birth, father has shown much more concern for them.
"Father, don't worry. I will definitely catch those foreigners and enhance the prestige of our Great Xia nation!" Lu Jing spoke passionately.
"Well, you are worthy of being my son." Lu Yanshi was very satisfied with his condition.
After receiving the affirmation from his father, Lu Jing felt as if he had been given an injection of chicken blood. He was very excited the whole night and almost didn't sleep a wink.
The next day, all the ministers in the court went to the dock to see the army off.
When the common people heard that they were going to look for their enemy from a thousand years ago, they also spontaneously followed to see them off.
Lu Yanshi was standing at the front holding Lu Li.
Although Lu Yao was pregnant, she didn't want to miss her brother's expedition, so she came with her big belly.
Lu Qi wanted to go to sea with his father but was ruthlessly rejected. He could only come to see his elder brother off with regret and envy.
The other little ones had to go to school and couldn't come along.
[Big brother’s eyes are almost as big as Yuangungun’s. ]
Lu Li looked at Lu Jing's big dark circles and secretly complained in her heart.
The people present subconsciously looked at Lu Jing's dark circles.
Lu Jing blushed. He was too excited last night.
"Jing'er, be careful. Sister will wait for you to come back." Lu Yao looked at him worriedly, with red eyes.
"Don't worry, my eldest sister. I will definitely lead the Great Xia soldiers back to victory, and I will also remember to bring a gift for my little nephew." Lu Jing looked at her belly tenderly.
"And mine, big brother. I want a gift too!" Lu Li spoke hastily, fearing that Lu Jing would forget his share.
"Okay, okay, everyone gets a share." Lu Jing smiled.
Lu Li noticed that her father had a stern face and thought he was unhappy, so she quickly glanced at Lu Jing.
"Brother, there is also a gift from our father, don't forget it!"
Lu Yanshi's stiff mouth couldn't help but curl up because of his daughter's words.
Look, the daughter is really thoughtful. She knows to bring a gift for her old father.
[Sure enough, the reason why my father was unhappy just now was because my eldest brother didn’t bring him a gift! ]
[My eldest brother is stupid, I am smarter. ]
[Since my father gave me so many gold locks, I will just pamper him.]
Lu Yanshi: ...
He didn't smile just now because he is not a smiling person!
Moreover, as an emperor, he had to remain mysterious in front of his courtiers. He was not the kind of person who would get angry if he didn't receive a gift.
After hearing Lu Li's inner voice, Lu Yao and Lu Jing, who were still immersed in the sadness of separation, couldn't help but pursed their lips and smiled.
"Okay, the auspicious time has arrived, let's set off." Hearing the sound of the gong, Lu Yanshi waved his hand, signaling them to all get on board.
As the boat went farther and farther away, the people could not help but shout spontaneously.
"Promote our national prestige, Daxia will surely win!"
Each voice was louder than the last, and all the court officials present felt honored.
Lu Yanshi even smiled from the bottom of his heart.
He held Lu Li in his arms, pointed at the distant ship, and said, "Xiaojiu, this is the kingdom that your father built for you!"
"Father is the best!" Lu Li has always been sweet-mouthed and never hesitates to praise him.
Lu Yanshi smiled with satisfaction.
He looked at Lu Yao and his husband and said, "Yao'er is pregnant. Your husband, you have to pay attention and take good care of her."
"I will remember the emperor's teachings and will take good care of the princess." Pei Zhiyu expressed his opinion hurriedly.
"Father, my husband treats me very well and cares about me very much." Lu Yao showed a shy and happy smile.
Lu Yanshi felt relieved when he saw the sweet couple.
He turned his head to look at his second daughter who was standing nearby. He felt that she was alone and looked a little pitiful.
So he said gently: "Qi Qi, if you have a prince consort you like, tell father and he will arrange a marriage for you."
Lu Qi showed a panicked expression.
"Father, no, I'm not in a hurry. The foreigners haven't been destroyed yet, and I have no intention of choosing a son-in-law."
In the past, she was eager to leave the palace as soon as possible to build a princess's mansion and choose a prince consort.
But after going to the battlefield with Concubine Shu, she felt that there was no point in getting married.
Men, whether they are men or not, are all the same.
"Okay, then just tell father if you have a candidate in mind." Lu Yanshi did not force her.
"Okay, father." Lu Qi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
She was really afraid that her father would force a marriage on her.
However, neither the father nor the daughter had expected that just such a casual remark would fall into the ears of someone with ulterior motives, and Lu Qi's marriage would be targeted by someone.
…
Qu Fufeng thought that after sending the navy away, he could rest for a while.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yanshi summoned him into the palace again to discuss the second college entrance examination.
He is not the only official in the court who receives salary, so how could Lu Yanshi take advantage of him?
Qu Fufeng was very resentful.
But under the imperial power, he had no right to object and could only obediently listen to Lu Yanshi's orders.
The last time the college entrance examination was piloted only in Beijing, the results were pretty good.
So this time Lu Yanshi decided to expand to the whole country.
The imperial examinations included the county examination, prefectural examination, and academy examination, followed by the autumn examination held every three years, followed by the metropolitan examination, and finally the palace examination.
This kind of selection is fair, but it takes too long.
Lu Yanshi asked Qu Fufeng to think of a new college entrance examination process and bring it up at the morning court tomorrow to convince other court officials.
"I obey your command." Qu Fufeng lowered his head and accepted the task dejectedly.
Lu Li was not interested in what they were talking about, she was just watching the show.
Sometimes I go to see where my eldest brother is, and sometimes I go to see how the baby in my eldest sister's belly is doing.
Seeing that everything was fine, Lu Li felt relieved.
She was just about to turn off the gossip system when she unexpectedly saw a crucial piece of news.
[Oh no, the second princess is in danger! ! ! ]
