Chapter 0424 Lang Jun takes orders
One day, Bo Langjun was checking the accounts of various expenses sent by Jiang Yu in the study.
Luo Jiaojiao cooked the tea and served it. As soon as Bo Langjun picked up the tea cup and took a sip of the tea, Eunuch Xu circulated the emperor's oral order outside the study, proclaiming him to go to the imperial study to meet him.
Luo Jiaojiao served Bo Langjun and changed into court clothes. Bo Langjun looked down at Luo Jiaojiao and said softly: "Wait for me to come back!"
Luo Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, then blushed and put on a black cloak on Bo Langjun.
The emperor was sitting behind the dragon case in the imperial study room and watching the letter from King Zhao Lun of Nanyue.
Zhao Lun was very annoyed when he heard that his ancestors' tombs were destroyed and his relatives and brothers were killed. He sent a letter to ask the Han Dynasty to evacuate the troops in Changsha County and let his relatives and brothers go to govern.
Bo Langjun walked into the emperor's imperial study and performed the rituals of the king and his subjects.
"Uncle! Look at this!"
The emperor asked Eunuch Xu to send the letter from King Zhao Lun of Nanyue to Bo Langjun to read.
After seeing it, Bo Langjun asked the emperor what he meant.
The emperor said that as long as Zhao Lun can be his King of Nanyue with peace of mind.
Therefore, Bo Langjun suggested sending someone to investigate the reason for the killing of Zhao Lun's relatives and brothers, and then appease them.
The emperor immediately asked Bo Langjun to fully handle the matter.
Bo Langjun frowned and wanted to refuse, but saw that the emperor was determined to look at him, so he had to bow and accept the order.
This matter was not the responsibility of his young mansion, but the emperor was unable to do so. Bo Langjun took the title of inspector and left the palace.
When Jiang Yu saw his master walking out of the palace gate in a depressed mood, he was very puzzled.
Since they came to the imperial city, the emperor has respected his master very much. Could it be that the emperor has caused any problems for his master?
Solving the problem of Guangdong is the prime minister's responsibility. Prime Minister Chen Ping has had a physical problem recently and is sick at home.
Zhou Bo resigned from his position as prime minister again, so the emperor let his most trusted uncle complete this job.
In this way, Bo Langjun was pushed to the forefront.
Luo Jiaojiao cooked tea in the study and sat waiting for Bo Langjun to return home.
Bo Langjun walked into the study and Luo Jiaojiao greeted her with joy.
However, Luo Jiaojiao found that Bo Langjun's face was a little bad. She carefully took off her cloak and hung it on her.
Bo Langjun sat in a few cases and pondered, and a cup of hot tea was delivered to him.
He looked up at Luo Jiaojiao's concerning gaze, and his unhappiness was a little less.
"Jiang Yu! Send the map of Guangdong and related information!"
Bo Langjun took two sips of hot tea and then ordered Jiang Yu who was waiting outside the door.
"Nanyue?"
Luo Jiaojiao, who was kneeling beside Bo Langjun, became confused.
"The emperor gave me the position of inspector and went to deal with the issue of Nanyue!"
Bo Langjun's eyebrows started to knead again.
"That's great! We can go to Guangdong and have a look!"
Luo Jiaojiao was quite happy after hearing this news.
"Do you want to go to Guangdong?"
Bo Langjun asked, looking at Luo Jiaojiao with an excited look on her face.
"Don't you plan to stay at my home?"
"That's a barbarian land!"
Bo Langjun took the relevant information handed to him by Jiang Yu and read it.
"Isn't there a husband here? Besides, all the kings under the world are the kings! Is there a king's minister in the boundaries of the earth?"
Luo Jiaojiao brought out his father's words.
"Yeah! It makes sense!"
Bo Langjun looked up at Luo Jiaojiao with praise.
Luo Jiaojiao felt happy for a while when she heard Bo Langjun's praise.
Seeing that Bo Langjun was immersed in the books of Nanyue, she quietly got up and gave him tea.
"Jiang Yu! Get ready, we will set off for Guangdong tomorrow!"
Bo Langjun closed a picture album, looked at the bright ground illuminated by sunlight outside the study and ordered.
"tomorrow?"
Jiang Yu looked at the sky and calculated that the time was too long, so she couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.
"Yes! Let's go to Guangdong tomorrow!"
Bo Langjun knows that the faster some things are handled, the more beneficial it is to him.
It has been 49 years since his ancestor Liu Bang established Zhao Lun, the former Nanhai County, as the King of Nanyue. Zhao Lun was angry because of his relatives and brothers being killed and his ancestral tomb was damaged, which shows that he has not forgotten his hometown or his ancestors.
Since this is the case, Zhao Lun, who was forced to call himself Emperor Nanwu because Empress Lu was a barbarian and cut off trade between the two places, probably did not want to cause trouble.
"Pack these and bring more clothes! We'll set off tomorrow!"
Bo Langjun got up and walked outside the door.
"yes!"
Luo Jiaojiao quickly got up and excitedly sorted out the piles of books and maps about Nanyue on several cases.
Bo Langjun outside the door looked at the white clouds floating in the sky and thought to himself for a while.
"Luo Xiaoniang! Follow me to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
Bo Langjun suddenly turned around and called out Luo Jiaojiao who was putting the books on several tables into the bamboo box.
"Oh! Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Luo Jiaojiao was stunned when she covered the box cover. What did the master go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to do?
Bo Langjun looked down at Luo Jiaojiao who was tying a cloak necklace for him, and couldn't help but wrap around her waist.
"So many people are watching?"
Luo Jiaojiao glanced at the guards at the door and under the corridor, and broke free from Bo Langjun's arms.
"They can't see it!"
Bo Langjun curled his lips and looked at the guards in front of the door who lowered their heads and eyes and said.
"I'll go and tell them to prepare a carriage!"
Luo Jiaojiao ran to the backyard with her skirt.
Bo Langjun walked slowly towards the direction of the mansion and happened to meet Li Zheng hurriedly.
"But what urgent matter?"
Bo Langjun stopped and looked at Li Zheng who was dodging to salute him.
"He Yuan went out of the palace to meet Yang Weiwei in private, saying that she was about establishing the prince."
Li Zheng truthfully reported to Bo Langjun what he had heard and seen by Yang Zisheng.
"Well! This matter cannot be rumored!"
Bo Langjun raised his eyebrows and told Li Zheng.
"yes!"
Li Zheng saw that Bo Langjun left the mansion and went to find Jiang Yu.
Luo Jiaojiao sat in the carriage and waited at the door of the mansion. Bo Langjun got on the carriage and ordered the coachman to go to the left Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Why do you want to meet the Prime Minister?"
Luo Jiaojiao couldn't help but ask.
"The affairs of Nanyue are originally the Prime Minister's duties."
Bo Langjun sat upright in the car with his eyes closed.
"The emperor sent you to Guangdong. Did you intend to make you the Prime Minister?"
Luo Jiaojiao knew that the young man liked power, so he boldly speculated.
"It's not that I don't want to be the prime minister, but I can't! If I can't protect myself in the officialdom, even if I sit in that position, I'll be walking on thin ice. Anything I do will be hindered and made things difficult for me, and I'll be tormented like an ant on a hot pan all day long. How can I do things? Not to mention serving the country and the people! If I don't do it well, I will be charged with the autocracy of the foreign relatives! It will cause trouble for my sister!"
"Then you can't retreat because you're afraid of things!"
Luo Jiaojiao has a straightforward temperament and cannot understand Bo Langjun’s concerns.
"Aren't I doing things all the time? Don't your father often say it? No one is big or small, just look at whether you can do something practical! Instead of being a prime minister who can do nothing, it's better to do what you can do!"
Luo Jiaojiao understood Bo Langjun's words. He did not expect that Bo Langjun, who had a political opinion and his late father, would agree with what his father said so much!
