Lu Yan's expression changed. He seemed to understand what Li Shiming was thinking.

He looked at Li Shi Min with a strange expression.

This fellow was indeed extremely black-bellied. What he had sensed before coming was not wrong at all.

What happened today was probably not the first time.

Li Shi Min usually didn't have any reaction, but he was furious today.

It was obvious that he was acting.

He had long expected such a scene to happen today. It was almost certain.

However, he still chose to do so.

He probably had this idea long ago, but he had not implemented it yet.

The friction between the aristocratic families and the emperor would occur from time to time.

A person like Li Shi Min would never allow a noble family to challenge the dignity of the royal family.

Therefore, when there was enough time and when he was confident enough.

He would not hesitate to expose this problem completely and find an opportunity to make the five surnames and seven Wangs suffer a major blow.

Weaken the aristocratic families and increase the power of the central government.

That was probably what Li Shi Min was thinking.

However, Li Shi Min didn't have the chance to do so. His appearance made Li Shi Min wait for the right opportunity.

Using him to ignite this question.

All of a sudden, he was placed on the opposite side of the aristocratic families and could only stand on the side of Li Shiming.

The moment Lu Yan appeared, he became the focus of everyone, but he also became the enemy of the aristocratic families.

It could be said to be an opportunity or a disaster.

It would depend on how he viewed it.

"But why did you choose me to show off? Could it be..."

Lu Yan's pupils constricted as he looked up at Li Shiming.

Li Shiming also felt Lu Yan's gaze. When he saw Lu Yan's expression, he immediately understood that this person had probably guessed his thoughts.

He did not feel embarrassed. Instead, he was a little happy. It was comfortable to deal with smart people.

As expected, he did not misjudge the person. He even smiled at Lu Yan. The smile disappeared for a moment and returned to his gloomy expression.

Not only was he black-bellied, but he was also thick-skinned.

Lu Yan added silently in his heart.

Everyone had underestimated Li Shi Min, they thought he was on the first floor and only saw the second floor, but they didn't know he was already on the fifth floor.

"Emperor…As expected, no one was simple.”

Lu Yan looked at the ministers and could not help but laugh in his heart. Did they really think that Li Shiming was so good-tempered that he could bully them at such a young age?

At that time, he would not even know how he died.

"This lowly official heard that there is a vacancy in the Chamberlain of Dependencies for a position of junior official. Since Your Majesty admires this person so much, why don't you first let him preside over the Chamberlain of Dependencies? It won't be too late to promote him after a few years of tempering.”

An official suddenly suggested.

The eyes of the other officials lit up and they couldn't help but applaud.

It was simply killing people.

Everyone knew that the Chamberlain of Dependencies was one of the nine monasteries that was in charge of foreign guests and court ceremonies.

To put it bluntly, it was to entertain external envoys.

Usually, they would argue with other countries for their own interests.

However, unlike the foreign education department of the later generations, they did not have any real power.

He couldn't make the decision. If he wanted to make the final decision, he had to report it to the higher-ups and let them give the order.

It could be said that it was the department with the least power and the most free time.

Thus, even the official in charge of the Chamberlain of Dependencies was only an eighth rank official.

He wasn't much better than a ninth-grade Sesame Official.

If they were placed in such a department, they would not be able to hold any real power, and their official positions would not be high. If they stayed for a few more years, even the most powerful genius would eventually be polished by time and become an ordinary person.

Aristocratic families did not care about such a department at all.

What they needed was absolute control over the Great Tang's economy and politics.

Therefore, most of those who were qualified to attend the morning court session came from the aristocratic families.

The official of the Chamberlain of Dependencies didn't even have the right to attend the morning court.

He could not even compare to the county magistrate of Chang 'an.

To them, this was undoubtedly the best decision.

Everyone was happy.

"As a youth, it's time for you to learn by yourself. If he was too greedy, he would probably only make things worse and end up harming himself. Instead, he would incur a great crime and bring about a fatal disaster.”

The minister said again. This sentence was obviously said to Lu Yan, but it was already an extremely obvious threat.

Wei Zheng's expression also changed drastically. He did not expect that this aristocratic family would actually be so merciless. They simply wanted to kill him.

"But... This can be considered as protecting him."

Wei Zheng sighed in his heart and looked at Lu Yan.

To be honest, he admired Lu Yan's words just now.

A young man with wisdom and ability.

With a little training, he would definitely be an outstanding official.

However, he had a mediocre background and was targeted by the aristocratic families. Although he wanted Lu Yan to go there to temper himself for a few years, he could not let him go to the Chamberlain of Dependencies. That would be a waste of talent.

However, he did not choose to stand up and refute. Lu Yan was not to the extent that he admired him.

At the very least, as long as Lu Yan could accept this treatment, his life would not be in danger.

Wei Zheng knew how tough aristocratic families were in political battles.

Today, Lu Yan sat in this position. Tomorrow, it was possible that he would be accused of a crime and end up with the fate of his entire family being executed.

The only pity was…It was just that they were missing another talent.

Li Shi Min's face was still as dark as water when faced with the official's suggestion, which was even a little insulting. No one could tell if he was angry or not.

Instead, his gaze fell on Lu Yan."What do you think of this matter?”

He directly asked Lu Yan to solve the problem.

The conflict between the aristocratic families and the emperor had nothing to do with him, and he did not want to interfere.

but. The aristocratic families in front of him were truly overbearing.

He was too overbearing. He was just short of writing contempt on his head and disdain for him.

They did not hesitate to threaten him. After all, in their eyes, commoners like him were like ants that could be easily crushed.

A cold glint flashed across Lu Yan's eyes. Did he really think that he was a dough that could be kneaded at will?

Since Li Shi Min had chosen to let him solve this problem, he couldn't be blamed for being too arrogant.

"Your Majesty, the tempering of time is nothing more than a mediocre person's self-comforting words.”

Lu Yan stepped forward and bowed.

The faces of those officials changed. These words had already pointed at their noses and scolded them.

"If hard work can really make up for one's ineptitude, then why do we need geniuses?”

Lu Yan raised his eyebrows, his face filled with contempt. The arrogance of a young man was displayed at this moment.
