From eunuch to emperor

"If you killed Xue Ze and He Xu, ghosts will definitely retaliate. We must be careful."

The empress guessed that the ghost fetus would take revenge.

If it were an empress who had suffered such a big loss, she would definitely try her best to save the situation.

Long Chen said worriedly: "I'm still worried about Luo Xi's side, what if the ghost personally attacks Diaoyu City..."

Long Chen mentioned Emperor Luoxi again, and the Empress didn't know whether Long Chen was worried about sneak attacks by ghosts, or was hinting that the Empress should be reserved and not lose her sense of proportion.

"You killed him once in Linhu City, I guess ghosts would not dare to leave without authorization."

Holding the cold water in her hand, the empress secretly scolded Long Chen for being a jerk.

In the past, Long Chen deliberately flirted with himself to tease him, but now that he took the initiative, Long Chen backed away step by step.

"After an attack in Linhu City, the defense will definitely be strengthened. We have to think about how to defeat the enemy."

The empress put down the cold water, pressed her left leg on her right leg, and pointed her toes at Long Chen.

As an emperor, such a sitting posture is very undignified.

Long Chen knew that the Empress did this on purpose.

"The minister is thinking of a strategy, there will always be opportunities."

Looking at the empress' long legs, Long Chen felt a little restless.

As a man, facing a stunning beauty like the empress, it would be a lie to say that he is not tempted.

The empress stood up and said, "Tell me when you've made up your mind."

After speaking, the empress left the room.

The Empress left, Long Chen heaved a sigh of relief.

Back then, he and Emperor Luoxi were not engaged, so it was fine for Long Chen to molested the empress, but now that he is engaged, some things can't be troubled anymore.

...

To the west of Xianhe City, a carriage came slowly.

An old man in his 50s was sitting in the car, who was Sun Lu, Minister of Sinong Temple.

Looking at the surrounding mountains, rivers and fields, Sun Lu said with emotion: "The land in the south of the Yangtze River is really different. There are abundant water sources and verdant trees. The scenery is very different from my Dazhou."

The groom who drove the carriage said: "Master Sun, there are rivers and lakes intertwined here, and the water source is sufficient, but the land is not flat, not as flat as my Dazhou land."

"Look at those people, they are sparse, and you can't see anyone during the spring plowing season."

Sun Lu shook his head and said, "No, the lack of people in the spring farming is due to the war. Near Xianhe City is the place where Nanliang rice is grown. I have eaten the rice here, and the rice porridge cooked is delicious."

"The Holy Majesty asked me to come here to cultivate the paddy fields here so that they cannot be abandoned."

It was Long Chen's idea to let Sun Lu come over.

The land around Wushun City and Xianhe City is fertile. If the army has enough food, it must grow food.

"But Mr. Sun, you have seen it all the time. There is no one here. How do you farm?"

Along the way, the people in the villages and towns along the way were afraid of the war and fled, and there were even fewer people working in the fields.

Without people, there is no way to farm. This is a very real problem.

Sun Lu also knew about this problem, and said: "Don't be afraid, King Wu is not here, he has a lot of ideas, just ask him."

The groom smiled and said, "Master Sun, you trust King Wu too much."

"The so-called clever woman can't cook without rice. Could it be that King Wu can sow beans to form soldiers? Conjure the common people to cultivate the fields?"

This groom has followed Sun Lu for many years, so he doesn't shy away from speaking.

Sun Lu laughed and said, "Others can't, but King Wu can. You'll know when the time comes, Xianhe City is coming soon."

When the carriage arrived at the west gate, the soldiers guarding the city stopped Sun Lu for questioning.

The groom was a little displeased, and said: "This is the driver of Sir Sunong Si Nongsi, why are you so rude?"

The soldier said: "When the two armies are fighting, no matter whose carriage it is, they must be interrogated. This is the order of King Wu!"

Sun Lu got out of the carriage and said, "Don't talk about it, this is a battlefield, it should be."

After finishing speaking, Sun Lu took out the printed document and said, "I am Sun Lu, Minister of Agriculture, and I am here by order of the Holy Majesty. Please inform me."

The soldier read the printed document and immediately said: "So it's Mr. Sun, please forgive me in this critical time."

"Come here, send Master Sun into the city!"

There is no problem with reading the seal and ribbon of the document, but there are still people watching when entering the city.

Several soldiers escorted the carriage into the city until they reached the commander's mansion. When Yingfeng saw the carriage, she was sure that it was Sun Lu, so the soldiers retreated.

"Master Yingfeng, long time no see."

Sun Lu greeted with a smile, and Yingfeng replied, "Master Sun has worked hard all the way, the Holy Majesty is inside, please come with me."

Sun Lu followed Yingfeng into the study room, where the empress was reading the report sent by Di Yuwei.

Di Yuwei and Di Xingwan dealt with the government affairs in the court, and the two decided on minor matters, while major matters had to be reported to the Empress on a regular basis.

"My lord, Lord Sun has arrived."

Yingfeng entered the door, and Sun Lu immediately said: "My humble minister, Sun Lu, pay homage to the Holy One."

The empress put down the report, got up and said with a smile, "Master Sun, please sit down, the capital is a long way from here, you are always tired."

Sun Lu said: "I'm ashamed, compared to fighting on the battlefield, this little travel is nothing."

The Empress smiled and said, "Sit down."

Sun Lu thanked him and sat down beside him, and Yingfeng brought tea over.

"Is everything okay all the way?"

Seeing that Sun Lu was in good spirits, the empress felt relieved.

Sun Lu's abilities are mediocre, the Empress actually didn't want Sun Lu to come over, but Long Chen said that Sun Lu was just the beginning, and there will be other people coming over in the future.

Moreover, Sun Lu is just not very capable, and he is still serious in his work, as long as he makes a plan and lets him implement it.

"Thank God, everything is fine."

Sun Lu smiled and took a sip of tea, and praised: "Good tea, the tea here is really good."

The empress smiled and said, "The new tea just picked tastes good."

Sun Lu finished drinking a cup of tea, looked around but didn't see Long Chen, and asked, "Isn't King Wu in the city?"

The Empress glanced at Yingfeng, and Yingfeng immediately went to invite Long Chen.

"Master Sun is called here this time because the army rations are not enough, and rice must be planted on the spot. When the summer grain harvest is abundant, it can be used as army rations."

"It's just that rice cultivation is different from wheat, and it's a little troublesome, so Master Sun should come in person."

Sun Lu said: "This matter has already been known to me. By defeating Nanliang, our Great Zhou can rule the world. This is an inexhaustible achievement. It is a great honor for me to be able to contribute."

When receiving the emperor's order, Sun Lu's family opposed it.

How could he bring Si Nongqing with him when he was marching and fighting?

But Sun Lu was very happy, and immediately packed up his things and set out on the road.

This battle is very important for Da Zhou, and if he wins, he can rule the world.

Sinong Temple is actually a relatively cold yamen, and everyone doesn't think highly of Sun Lu, and Sun Lu knows this very well.

The Empress summoned him here as an opportunity to make meritorious service, and Sun Lu was of course happy.

"Master Sun understands righteousness."

For the first time, the empress felt that Sun Lu had a big picture.

Outside the door, Long Chen walked in, and said with a smile: "Master Sun has worked hard, this junior will apologize to Master Sun."

Sun Lu immediately got up and said with a smile: "Where does King Wu say that, when you come here, you will make meritorious deeds. I thank King Wu for sending me a credit."

Long Chen sat down, and the Empress said: "The season waits for no one, King Wu will talk to Mr. Sun about the spring plowing now."

Although Sun Lu has just arrived and has worked hard all the way, but now the time has come for farming, and there is no longer any delay.

Long Chen said: "Then I'll tell you, Mr. Sun, don't hesitate to work hard."

Sun Lu immediately said: "King Wu, please tell me."
