Chapter 424
One day, Mr. Bo Lang was checking the accounts of various expenses in the palace sent by Jiang Yu in his study.

Luo Jiaojiao cooked tea and served it.As soon as Mr. Bo Lang picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea, the attendant Xu delivered the emperor's oral order outside the study, announcing him to go to the imperial study to have an audience.

Luo Jiaojiao waited on Bo Langjun to change into the court clothes.Bo Langjun looked down at Luo Jiaojiao and said softly, "Wait for me to come back!"

Luo Jiaojiao froze for a moment, then blushed and put a black cloak on Bo Langjun.

The emperor was sitting behind the dragon case in the imperial study, looking at the letter written by Zhao Lun, king of Nanyue.

Zhao Lun was very annoyed when he heard that the tombs of his ancestors had been destroyed and his relatives and brothers had been killed.He issued a letter requesting that the Han Dynasty evacuate the garrison in Changsha County and let his relatives and brothers manage it.

Mr. Bo Lang walked into the emperor's study room, performing the ceremony of a monarch and his ministers.

"Uncle! Look at this!"

The emperor asked Xu Neishi to send the letter written by Zhao Lun, the king of Nanyue, to Mr. Bo Lang.

After reading it, Mr. Bo Lang asked the emperor what he meant.

The emperor said, as long as Zhao Lun can be his king of Nanyue at ease.

Therefore, Mr. Bo Lang suggested sending someone to investigate the reason why Zhao Lun's relatives and brothers were killed, and then appease him.

The emperor immediately asked Mr. Bo Lang to handle the matter with full authority.

Bo Langjun frowned and wanted to refuse, but seeing the emperor staring at him, he had no choice but to salute and accept the order.

This matter is not his responsibility as a young man, but the emperor's order is difficult, Bo Langjun took the title of inspector and left the palace.

Seeing her master walking out of the palace gate sullenly, Jiang Yu was very puzzled.

Since they came to the imperial city, the emperor has shown great respect to his master.Could it be that the emperor gave his master some kind of problem?
It was the prime minister's responsibility to solve the Southern Guangdong issue.Prime Minister Chen Ping has a health problem recently and is sick at home.

Zhou Bo resigned from the post of prime minister again, so the emperor asked his most trusted uncle to complete this errand.

In this way, Bo Langjun was pushed to the forefront.

Luo Jiaojiao made tea in the study and waited for Bo Langjun to return home.

Bo Langjun walked into the study, and Luo Jiaojiao greeted him with joy.

However, Luo Jiaojiao noticed that Bo Langjun's complexion was a little pale.She carefully took off the cloak for him and hung it up.

Mr. Bo Lang sat down and meditated after a few desks, and a cup of hot tea was served in front of him.

He looked up at Luo Jiaojiao's concerned eyes, and his unhappiness was a little less.

"Jiang Yu! Send me the map of Nanyue and relevant information!"

Bo Langjun drank two sips of hot tea, and then ordered Jiang Yu who was waiting outside the door.

"Southern Guangdong?"

Luo Jiaojiao, who was kneeling beside Bo Langjun, became puzzled.

"The emperor gave me the post of inspector to deal with the southern Guangdong issue!"

Bo Langjun frowned again.

"Great! We can go to Nanyue to see!"

Luo Jiaojiao was quite happy when she heard the news.

"Do you want to visit Nanyue?"

Bo Langjun looked at the excited Luo Jiaojiao and asked.

"Don't you plan to go to my slave's house, Mr. Lang?"

"That's a land of barbarians!"

Bo Langjun took the relevant information about the land of Nanyue that Jiang Yu handed him and read it.

"Isn't there a gentleman here! Besides, is it the king's land in the whole world! Could it be the king's minister on the shore of the land!"

Luo Jiaojiao quoted his father's words.

"Hmm! That makes sense!"

Mr. Bo Lang looked up at Luo Jiaojiao approvingly.

When Luo Jiaojiao heard Bo Langjun's praise, she felt happy for a while.

Seeing that Bo Langjun was immersed in Nanyue's books, she quietly got up to refill him with tea.

"Jiang Yu! Get ready, we will leave for Nanyue tomorrow!"

Mr. Bo Lang closed an album, looked at the brightly lit ground outside the study and gave orders.

"tomorrow?"

Jiang Yu looked at the sky, calculated that the time was running out, and couldn't help hesitating.

"Yes! Set off for Nanyue tomorrow!"

Mr. Bo Lang knows that the sooner some things are dealt with, the better for him.

It has been 49 years since the ancestor Liu Bangli Zhao Lun of Nanhai County was the king of Nanyue.Zhao Lun was angry because his relatives and brothers were killed and his ancestral grave was damaged, which shows that he has not forgotten his hometown or his ancestors.

Since this is the case, then Zhao Lun, who was forced to call himself Emperor Nanwu by Empress Lu because Nanyue was a barbarian land and cut off the trade between the two places, probably didn't think of the military disaster.

"Pack these up and bring more clothes! We're leaving tomorrow!"

Mr. Bo Lang got up and walked outside the door.

"Yes!"

Luo Jiaojiao got up quickly, excitedly sorting out the pile of books and maps about Nanyue on the table.

Outside the door, Mr. Bo Lang looked at the white clouds floating in the sky and thought for a while.

"Miss Luo! Follow me to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

Bo Langjun suddenly turned around and called Luo Jiaojiao who was putting the books on the table into the bamboo box.

"Oh! To the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Luo Jiaojiao closed the lid of the box and was stunned.What is the master going to the Prime Minister's Mansion for?
Bo Langjun looked down at Luo Jiaojiao who was tying the collar of his cloak, and couldn't help wrapping his arms around her waist.

"So many people watching?"

Luo Jiaojiao glanced at the guards at the door and in the corridor, and broke free from Bo Langjun's embrace.

"They can't see it!"

Mr. Bo Lang hooked his lips, looked at the guards in front of the door with their heads down and said.

"I'll order them to prepare the carriage!"

Luo Jiaojiao ran towards the backyard holding up her skirt.

Mr. Bo Lang walked slowly towards the gate of the mansion, just in time to meet Li Zheng hurriedly walking over.

"What's the hurry?"

Mr. Bo Lang stopped and looked at Li Zheng who was walking aside to salute him.

"He Yuan went out of the palace to meet Yang Weiwei in private, and what he said was to establish the crown prince."

Li Zheng reported to Mr. Bo Lang what he heard and saw while monitoring Yang Zisheng.

"Well! This matter must not be spread!"

Mr. Bo Lang raised his eyebrows, and then instructed Li Zheng.

"Yes!"

Li Zheng saw that Mr. Bo Lang had left the house, so he went to look for Jiang Yu.

Luo Jiaojiao sat in the carriage and waited at the gate of the mansion.Mr. Bo Lang got into the carriage and told the coachman to go to Prime Minister Zuo's residence.

"Why do you want to see the prime minister?"

Luo Jiaojiao couldn't help but ask.

"The matter of Nanyue is originally the responsibility of the prime minister."

Mr. Bo Lang closed his eyes and sat in the car.

"The emperor sent you to Nanyue, did he intend to make you the prime minister?"

Luo Jiaojiao knew that Mr. Bo liked power, so she boldly speculated.

"It's not that I don't want to be prime minister, but I can't! If you can't protect yourself in the officialdom, even if you sit in that position, you will be walking on thin ice. No matter what you do, someone will hinder and make things difficult for you. You will suffer like ants on a hot pot all day long. How can you do things? Not to mention serving the country and the people! If you fail, you will be charged with the power of foreign relatives! Add trouble to my sister!"

"Then you can't shrink back because you are afraid of things!"

Luo Jiaojiao has a straightforward temper, so it is impossible to understand Bo Langjun's concerns.

"Aren't I doing things all the time? Doesn't your father often say that? There is no official size, just to see if I can do something practical! Instead of being a prime minister who can't do anything, it's better to do what you can do!"

Luo Jiaojiao understood Bo Langjun's words.He didn't expect Bo Langjun, whose political views were at odds with his late father, to agree so much with his father's words!
