Chapter 148 Worry
Lu Yanchen had expected that he would ask this question, and answered with a bowed head: "Mr. Gu Ge's kindness, I dare not forget."

Even though he said that, he didn't mean to admit his mistake.

Gu Shihai knew his stubborn nature, and it was useless to get angry with him, so he said, "If I had known that you were Wang Lisong's disciple, I definitely would not have recommended you to the late Emperor."

Seeing that Lu Yanchen lowered his head and responded, Gu Shihai lowered his voice and said, "You are heading towards a dead end! Are you eager to die even though you have no descendants?"

Lu Yanchen froze slightly, looked up at Gu Shihai and said, "Old Gu Ge, I believe in Your Majesty, and I am willing to be the blade in His Majesty's hands. Even if it is in His Majesty's hands, I will have no regrets. This time The matter should have been explained to you in prison."

Gu Shihai frowned and looked at him, his eyes were filled with the words "Dead wood cannot be carved".

At the end, he sighed lightly and said, "What do you want from me?"

Lu Yanchen hesitated for a while, and said to Gu Shihai: "Old Gu Ge may have countermeasures for Beidi's battle. But..." He paused again, and said, "I hope that Gu Ge will not underestimate the enemy. Our army's understanding is probably far beyond your imagination."

Hearing him mentioning the war, Gu Shihai also corrected his expression. He squinted his eyes and looked at Lu Yanchen. After a long while, he asked, "Do you know anything?"

Lu Yanchen looked away, looked at Dan Bi beside him, and said: "When I was in Yunzhou, I fought against Beidi. They... fought very well. I just want to remind Mr. Gu Ge .”

Gu Shihai didn't respond, he still looked at Lu Yanchen with that piercing look.After a while, seeing that Lu Yanchen was unmoved, he withdrew his gaze and said, "I see."

After finishing speaking, he stopped talking and walked out of the palace quickly.

Lu Yanchen was left standing alone, with a worried look on his face.

After thinking for a long time, he suddenly seemed to have made up his mind, turned around and walked towards the palace.
-
Wenxuan Hall.

Ye Qinghuai spread out a map larger than the book case on the desk and examined it carefully. There was a stack of manuscript paper on the map, and she picked up a pen to record something on the manuscript paper from time to time.

"Your Majesty, even if there is something more important, this dinner is still needed." Seeing the sun set and the room darken, Li Baoquan tried to persuade her while holding the lamp for Ye Qinghuai.

The emperor went straight to the Wenxuan Palace as soon as he was in court, and hurriedly dug out the map of the Northland and began to study it.

This made Li Baoquan anxious.

Today's lunch was delayed because of the small meeting after the court meeting, and seeing that the dinner was also put on hold, Li Baoquan couldn't help fulfilling his duty as the chief executive of the inner court, reminding the emperor to pay attention to his body.

"Later. I can't eat now." Ye Qing replied without raising her head.

Li Baoquan put on the lampshade of the last lamp, walked up to Ye Qinghuai, and was about to say something when a young eunuch outside the door suddenly trotted in with his head down.

"Your Majesty, Lu Yanchen, the grand scholar of the Taiqing Pavilion, is seeking an audience outside the palace."

Ye Qinghuai finally raised her head from the map, she looked at the little eunuch who reported, and thoughtfully put down the pen in her hand.

"Send him in."

The little eunuch left in response.

"Li Baoquan, prepare some tea and snacks."

Hearing that the emperor wanted to eat, Li Baoquan's gloomy and gloomy face immediately relaxed, and he answered and was about to go out to order the imperial dining room.

He hadn't taken two steps before he heard Ye Qinghuai add: "For tea, I want Wuzi Xianhao, for dessert, I want hibiscus cake, and a few more things."

Li Baoquan was a little surprised.He had served Ye Qinghuai for two or three years, and he knew that the emperor didn't have any special preferences when it came to tea and snacks, and it was even rarer for him to ask what kind of tea and snacks he wanted.

Now that she ordered it like this, it seems that Lu Yanchen likes these things.

But Li Baoquan thought about it again and found it puzzling.

The emperor actually knew exactly what Mr. Lu likes to eat and drink. To be honest, his intentions were beyond the friendship of a monarch and his ministers.

However, the emperor even gave Mr. Lu the dragon couch to sleep in before, and wrote an article "Shengxiaogan Tonglu" to announce it to the world, which shows that the friendship between the two is far from ordinary monarchs and ministers, and is closer to master and apprentice.

Thinking of this, Li Baoquan felt that everything could be explained again.

"Your Majesty is really a child who respects teachers and morals." Li Baoquan said in his heart quite gratified, and then went to pass the meal with peace of mind.

Lu Yanchen was still wearing that indigo court dress.He was tall, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, and the rigid court uniform on his body showed a bit of heroism.

Ye Qinghuai was dazed for a moment, but she quickly covered it up.She greeted Lu Yanchen with a smile, and said, "Mr. came just in time. I just want to ask you something."

She looked down at the map of Beidi on the case again, circled an area with her finger and asked, "Sir, do you know where this area is? I see that there are no mountains or lakes here. If Beidi wants to go south, why can't I take the road?" What about here?"

"The area to the west is swamps and meadows. There should be water in this season. It is dangerous to walk in this wasteland, and it is even more difficult for cars and horses to pass. It is impossible for Beidi to pass through here." Lu Yanchen said to Ye Qinghuai explained.

Ye Qinghuai gave a clear "Oh", and then asked a few more questions on the map, and Lu Yanchen answered them one by one.Ye Qinghuai, like a student who listened carefully, recorded Lu Yanchen's words on the manuscript paper one by one.

The two talked for a while, and Li Baoquan came up with refreshments.

"Your Majesty, the refreshments are here." The main case was completely covered by the map, so Li Baoquan put the two refreshments on the side coffee table.

"Sir, haven't you eaten yet? Let's eat something first." Ye Qinghuai came out from behind the desk, sat down on the armchair beside the coffee table, and then told Li Baoquan, "Send a message in Jingshou Palace. For dinner, I will share it with my husband."

Li Baoquan was stunned for a moment, and immediately took orders to make arrangements.

Only Ye Qinghuai and Lu Yanchen were left in the hall.

Seeing that Lu Yanchen was still standing by the desk and refused to take a seat, Ye Qinghuai smiled at him again: "I haven't eaten much all day, I'm a little hungry, sir, please accompany me to use some."

Hearing what Ye Qinghuai said, Lu Yanchen sat down on the armchair on the other side of the coffee table.

Ye Qinghuai took a sip of tea, looked at the map on the desk and said, "I remember this map was made by the emperor's grandfather during the Xingrui period. It's not easy to make it so detailed."

"During the Xingrui period, Dajing and Beidi fought fiercely, so the court spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to make this map. Looking at Kyushu, only Yunzhou has such a detailed military map, and other prefectures must not have it." Lu Yanchen agreed.

Ye Qinghuai nodded, and after a moment of silence, she looked at Lu Yanchen and asked, "Sir, what's the matter with you entering the palace today?"

Hearing this, Lu Yanchen got up and knelt on the ground, and said to Ye Qinghuai: "I want to go to the Baishui River with the capital, please allow it."
