Things turned out as Lu Sheng expected. Fuxiang behaved more obediently, almost following Xue Zhuoyuan step by step, never leaving. Fuxiang Ansheng, Mrs. Xue let her go temporarily, and the whole team returned to calm.

We arrived in Beijing within a few days. After entering the capital, everyone went their separate ways and went back to their homes. After going home, washing and tidying up, Lu Yan and He Wenjing went straight to Busi Shu. Lu Sheng and his parents rested at home for the day. It was time to report to the Hanlin Academy tomorrow.

Lu Yan couldn't wait to know what happened in the capital these days after leaving. When she got to Bu Si Shu, she went straight to the fourth floor. The fourth floor has now become Lu Yan's intelligence base. If you want to know something, go directly to the fourth floor.

Sure enough, as soon as Lu Yan went upstairs, she was greeted and everyone asked Lu Yan to greet her first.

"Shopkeeper Lu hasn't been here for several days. What have you been doing?"

"Forget it, I'm exhausted. I'm going home to prepare the banquet." Lu Yan said, "Three days of running water, I'm terribly exhausted."

The ladies looked at each other with teasing expressions: "Lu Tanhua High School, you have returned home in fine clothes. Did anything happen when you returned home?"

Lu Yan narrowed her eyes: "Why do you feel that you are so malicious?"

A lady touched her elbow and whispered: "Is there anyone who can give Lu Tanhua a woman this time when he returns to his hometown?"

Lu Yan raised her eyebrows: "Good guys, are you experienced?"

All the ladies laughed.

"It's a common thing. There are traffic jams wherever you go. Just stay at Ansheng Point in the capital."

"Someone came to deliver it, but my mother sent it out. Lu Sheng hid every day and failed to deliver it." Lu Yan waved her hand: "Did anything happen in the capital these days when I was away?"

The ladies thought for a moment: "Well... is it a big deal for the second prince's concubine to give birth to a son for the second prince? This is our emperor's first grandson."

Lu Yan was a little shocked. She knew that the second prince had no main concubine but only a side concubine. The second prince and the prince had been fighting for many years, and the position of the main concubine was vacant for some reasons. The second prince only has a side concubine but no main concubine, the prince does not even have a side concubine, and the backyard is empty.

Lu Yan was surprised that the second prince was so fast. He was only driven to the fiefdom last year and gave birth this year. He didn't waste a single day cooperating with her.

Lu Yan: "Then what's your reaction?"

The person who said it curled his lips and said, "Long Yan is very happy. When the empress heard this, she forced the emperor to summon the second prince and his family back. She said that the child was too late to reach the full moon, and the hundred-day banquet was to be held in the palace. The second prince and his family were probably on their way now. .”

Lu Yan raised her eyebrows, not knowing what to say. The prince is the son of the deceased Empress Yuan, and the current queen is the second prince's biological mother. If she gets the chance this time, she will definitely not let the second prince go back so easily.

Sure enough, Lu Yan was not the only one who thought this way: "August is the His Majesty's birthday, and the Queen will definitely let them stay until they can celebrate His Majesty's birthday before leaving."

Lu Yan couldn't help but admire the second prince's far-reaching wisdom. She had heard of women relying on children to regain their favor, but this was the first time she saw a man relying on children to regain his favor.

Lu Yan had a gut feeling that the prince would be troubled, and as expected, Jian Hongling mentioned it.

Jian Hongling came to see Lu Yan when she heard that she was back, and the two mentioned the matter when they got together.

Jian Hongling frowned: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he wanted to find an excuse to go out and escape."

"Why?" Lu Yan was puzzled: "The second prince is back. Wouldn't it be better for him to stay in the capital? How can we make room for him?"

"The main reason for the Second Prince's return is absolutely impossible. It is impossible to defeat him in this matter. If you compare with children, you will lose no matter what." Jian Hongling explained: "Comparing with him in front of the Holy Emperor is not as good as It’s better to hide out of sight. Besides, while their energy is on their children, it’s also good to do something serious.”

Lu Yan nodded. I do understand. Parents' urging for marriage and childbirth may not be so intense at ordinary times, but if your relatives and neighbors' younger siblings give birth to children, then you will not be able to think about peace, and your parents will not like you for a long time.

Lu Yan: "Then has he thought of a reason to hide out?"

"He wanted to go to Liaozhou to deliver military rations to the Northern Xinjiang Army." Jian Hongling said: "He was stopped by his staff. Usually he goes after the grain is harvested in autumn and put into the warehouse. Now, not long after the grain was planted, Not the time."

Lu Yan: "..."

It was obvious that the prince really wanted to go out.

But everyone hasn't come up with any reliable method yet, so they can only think about it while the second prince is not here.

The next day, Lu Sheng went to the Hanlin Academy to report.

Many people think that becoming a Beijing official means you have to go to court in the morning, but this is not true. In the morning, only officials of the fifth rank and above can use it. There are too many people in the hall to stand in. Those below the fifth rank can just go to the unit where they work every day to do the ritual.

As soon as Lu Sheng arrived at the Hanlin Academy, he was called away alone by Wang Hanlin.

Lu Sheng was confused and entered the room where Wang Hanlin worked.

Wang Hanlin had gray hair, stroking his beard and asked Lu Sheng to sit down with a smile: "Do you know why I asked you to come here alone?"

Lu Sheng shook his head with a confused look on his face.

Wang Hanlin: "That's right, the Holy One has specially assigned a job for you. The Holy One attaches great importance to the governance plan you proposed for Liaozhou, and decided to leave this part of Liaozhou to you."

"You also know that there are very few Han people in the entire Liaozhou. Most of them are military households who followed the Northern Xinjiang Army. The largest proportion are from the Beidi tribes. Beidi has now surrendered to our Dali Dynasty and is already part of us. , so their history and current situation must be included.”

Wang Hanlin saw that Lu Sheng still seemed to understand, and continued: "Each tribe in Beidi has its own language and writing, and each tribe is different. To compile the history of Beidi, you must first learn the language and writing of Beidi. And Your Majesty, if you have the ability, you can try to unify Beidi's writing, so that it will be easier to manage."

Lu Sheng was already stunned: "What? Where do you start learning this?"

Wang Hanlin looked at Lu Sheng and smiled: "As a minister of the Dali Dynasty, you should know that when Beidi was retaken, each of them sent a nobleman to the capital. Your Majesty means that they will be under your control from today on. You go and communicate with them, learn the Beidi language, and then compile the history of Beidi."

Lu Sheng was already stunned.

There were seven tribes in Beidi, big and small. When they were taken over, each tribe sent a noble son to the capital. These seven hostages were the famous Seven Sons of Beidi. The Seven Sons of Beidi are not just a fixed number of people. Many of them will be recalled to the tribe when they reach an age, manage the tribe, have their own children, and then replace them with new ones.

Therefore, the seven children of Beidi have always been young children. The oldest is only in his early ten years and the youngest is only five years old. Lu Sheng's head almost exploded when he thought of learning from these kids.
