"Your Majesty, please allow it!"
Cheng Yaojin cupped his fists.
"We can discuss this matter in the future.”
Li Shi Min shook his head and rejected the suggestion.
Although he was shocked by Lu Yan's martial arts, it did not mean that he would be swayed by it.
Lu Yan had just entered the court as an official and had yet to stabilize his position.
He still had other things to do, so how could he let him go and become a general?
"Your Majesty."
Cheng Yaojin was a little unwilling and wanted to speak again, but he was interrupted by Li Shiming.
"Lu Yan's matter is no small matter. It wasn't something that could be decided in a short time. Letting him go to the military camp rashly would probably cause Lu Yan's dissatisfaction!”
"Moreover, he holds an important position. How can he leave so easily?”
Li Shiming rubbed his eyebrows. Although he didn't know what Cheng Yaojin was up to, he knew that this person was not very reliable.
Lu Yan was someone he valued. How could he let him out?
"That's all for today. Zhen is also a little tired and wants to rest first.”
Li Shiming didn't give Cheng Yaojin a chance to speak and ordered him to leave.
Cheng Yaojin didn't say anything and left the palace.
"It seems that it's not that easy to make Li Shi Min change his mind!”
Cheng Yaojin thought to himself. He had never thought that Li Shiming would be swayed by his words alone.
Everyone could see how much Liu Shimin valued Lu Yan.
He just wanted to give it a try.
Since Li Shiming's plan did not work, he could only start with Lu Yan.
She would go to Lu Yan's side more often to get to know him.
If he could convince Lu Yan and rope him into the military camp, he would act first and report later.
Cheng Yaojin was a little proud.
However, he also knew that it would not be so easy to convince Lu Yan.
It was destined to be a time-consuming and energy-consuming act.
Cheng Yaojin didn't care. This kind of seedling was no different from a treasure trove to their generals.
How could he give up so easily?
He needed to be more secretive and not be discovered.
Cheng Yaojin, who had made up his mind, raised his eyebrows and returned to the Cheng residence with a smile on his face.
..............
Li Shimin looked at Cheng Yaojin's back as he left, feeling a little awkward.
He knew that with Lu Yan's ability, he would attract everyone's attention and even fight for it.
However, he did not expect it to be done in such a way.
"Looks like…We have to speed up the process."
Otherwise, if someone as unreliable as Cheng Yaojin did something behind their backs and alerted the enemy, it would only make their efforts fail.
But Lu Yan... How should he deal with it?
From the looks of it, although Lu Yan was on his side, he had no choice.
With his talent, no matter where he went, he would shine brightly.
This was especially so when this person was young, but she displayed intelligence that was extremely inconsistent with her peers. She was a complete little fox.
If he wanted to control him, he still needed to consider it.
Cheng Yaojin had come to find him personally for Lu Yan. It seemed that he also needed to use some means to rope Lu Yan in.
How could a mere fifth-grade official be enough?
"Your Majesty."
While Li Shi Min was deep in thought, a noblewoman walked in from the main door. She looked a little similar to Princess Chang Le.
However, she was graceful and elegant, and her appearance was outstanding.
Empress Zhangsun Wugou!
She was wearing a large cloak, and behind her were two palace maids carrying a bowl of hot soup.
"Guanyin maid."
When Li Shiming saw Zhangsun Wugou, his expression eased up, and his eyes were filled with surprise."Why are you here?"
The two of them had already gotten married when they were in their teens, and their relationship was still very good until now.
"It's already so late and His Majesty is still busy. ChenQie did not dare to disturb him and only stewed a bowl of soup.”
Zhangsun Wugou came in front of Li Shiming, his eyes filled with heartache."Your Majesty, drink this to warm your body."
"Alright."
Li Shi Min didn't refuse and drank the soup in one gulp. He smiled,"Guanyin Maid's cooking skills have not changed after so many years. The taste is still so good.”
"As long as you like it, Your Majesty."
Zhangsun Wugou stood behind Li Shiming, massaging his shoulders to help him relax.
Li Shi Min lay on the dragon throne and enjoyed the moment of peace. This was what he liked about Zhangsun Wugou. He knew his limits and was gentle like water.
"When ChenQie came in, she saw Your Majesty's distressed face. Could you tell ChenQie what is on your mind?”
"We can also share some of the burden with Your Majesty," Zhangsun Wugou said softly.”
"If it's political affairs, then forget it.”
She clearly knew what she wanted to do, what she should interfere with, and what she could not touch.
"It's not a big deal."
Li Shimin smiled,"It's fine to tell you."”
He immediately told her what had happened today.
"Who is this Lu Yan?" Zhangsun Wugou asked in surprise."To be able to make Your Majesty so worried."”
"This Lu Yan is a genius…"
Li Shiming started talking nonstop when Lu Yan was mentioned.
From the imperial examination poems to the wisdom of the ministers, and then to the end.
After Zhangsun Wugou heard this, he was also stunned. He did not recover from his shock for a long time, and his eyes were filled with surprise."Then this Lu Yan is really a genius.”
"Your Majesty has such sharp eyes that you were able to recognize him during the imperial examination.”
Facing Zhangsun Wugou's small exaggeration, Li Shimin was quite pleased, and his eyebrows were filled with pride."Of course."
"What kind of person am I? I recognized Lu Yan's extraordinariness at first glance. That was why he chose to let him be the right servant.”
Li Shimin spoke with confidence, only in front of Zhangsun Wugou.
"Yes, at such an age. To be able to have such talent, and even have extraordinary talent and wisdom!”
Zhangsun Wugou nodded in agreement.”
When Li Shi Min heard this, his expression became unnatural.
When he thought about Lu Yan's abilities, he was even more shocked. He could not compare to him in any aspect.
"It's indeed not bad. It has my style back then, but it's still a little lacking compared to me back then!”
Li Shi Min was a little jealous.
Zhangsun Wugou nodded and smiled at him, but he didn't say anything.
Only in front of him would Li Shi Min show such a childish side.
