The bad man who is a womanizer, go on a blind date in a hurry

Time flies.

Lu Yao became the Minister of Revenue when he was thirty years old, and in the blink of an eye he was fifty-five years old.

"It's impossible to do it for a few more years, not even in this lifetime!"

In the court, the Minister of Revenue Lu Yao protested loudly.

She is already fifty-five and has worked in the court for too many years.

She wants to retire! She wants to retire!

But Your Majesty actually wants her to work for a few more years and delay her retirement?

No! A thousand nos!

In a few more years, she will be old.

She still has a lot of room to explore the world. With her old limbs, how can she be in better shape than she is now?

"My dear Minister Lu, the court cannot do without you!" Sitting on the throne, Empress Zhou Chengxi looked majestic, but her voice sounded a little pathetic.

She was still trying her best to persuade Lu Yao not to retire.

"Your Majesty, this is wrong! There are many talented people in Dafeng, and there are many who are more talented than me.

My leaving won't affect anything, and it can also give young people a chance."

Lu Yao was polite, but she looked up and glared at Zhou Chengxi, cursing in her heart: Liar! We agreed to explore this world together, and it would be fine if you just stayed on the throne of the emperor, but you also tied me up and wouldn't let me go!

After hearing Lu Yao's thoughts, Zhou Chengxi felt wronged.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to abdicate, it’s that her beloved daughter, the current Princess Crown, is reluctant to succeed to the throne!

Speaking of this, Zhou Chengxi also wanted to scold Lu Yao.

Why didn’t the princess want to succeed to the throne and become emperor?

It’s because I admire Lu Yao, and I’m close to Lu Yao. Under her influence, I fell in love with exploring and studying nature!

Not only the Crown Princess, but also several older princesses, all like to explore nature, sail, hike, etc.

Instead, they are not interested in fighting for power, and spend all day thinking about poetry and distant places!

When she was a princess, she fought to the death with her sisters for the throne.

Now her daughters are just fine, they are friendly and respectful to each other, and no one is fighting for this position.

There is harmony and peace in the palace. It is safe, but who will take over?

Zhou Chengxi really wanted to shake Lu Yao's body and yell: It's really not that I am greedy for power!

She is six years older than Lu Yao. Lu Yao is fifty-five and she is sixty-one. She is older and wants to leave earlier, okay?

Unfortunately, Lu Yao can't read minds, so how could she know these things?

She was so angry that Zhou Chengxi felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

His face twisted in pain and beads of sweat the size of beans immediately appeared.

Zhou Chengxi immediately became timid.

She smiled unnaturally and said gently:

"Let's talk nicely, my dear, don't get excited."

After hearing this, the civil and military officials below rolled their eyes or sighed.

Listen, His Majesty is starting to coax Minister Lu with sweet words again.

If someone else spoke to Your Majesty like this, he would probably have been dragged out and beheaded.

Minister Lu spoke to His Majesty in this way, and His Majesty had to coax him back.

Why does Your Majesty listen to her so much?

His Majesty agrees with everything she says and supports everything she does.

Your Majesty protects me everywhere and pampers me all the time.

This isn't a relationship between a king and his subjects; this is clearly a relationship between a grandparent and his grandchildren!

Minister Lu is the ancestor and Your Majesty is the grandson.

But what can the ministers do? His Majesty dotes on Minister Lu so much, with no moral integrity!

Someone has advised you about this before, but unfortunately, not only did His Majesty not listen, he also scolded you and punished you.

No one tried to persuade me anymore.

Everyone could only watch with envy and jealousy as Minister Lu was favored.

Fortunately, Minister Lu is a truly loyal and capable minister. He never takes advantage of his favor to become arrogant and always does practical things for the country and the people.

During the more than 20 years that she served as Shangshu, the economy of Dafeng developed, the market flourished, and the people became increasingly wealthy.

For example: Since Lu Shangshu became the Shangshu, the national treasury has never been in deficit again.

All officials who were paid by the emperor not only never had their salaries delayed again, but their salaries have now more than quintupled, and various benefits have also followed.

They are also the beneficiaries of Minister Lu's taking office.

Some court officials even thought: The previous imperial court always exploited the people, and the more it exploited, the poorer the court became.

After Minister Lu took office, he did exactly the opposite.

Under her proposal, the empress greatly reduced taxes and improved various living security for the people.

Develop agriculture, liberalize commerce, vigorously support various manufacturing industries, etc.

As a result, the court collected more taxes.

Especially after Your Majesty abolished the iron rule that women must marry three husbands, and changed it to freedom of marriage, freedom of time, and freedom of number of men,

After abolishing the iron rule that those who failed to marry within the specified time would be exiled and fined.

Not only did Dafeng’s population not decrease, it actually increased!

Totally unexpected.

"Just dote on him, since he is the Minister Lu, he is really capable." The ministers were convinced.

In this way, Lu Yao finally secured the opportunity to retire without delay.

On the day he resigned from his official position, Lu Yao felt relaxed all over, and the air was filled with the smell of freedom.

"Others would like to be an official until they die, but you treat it as a burden and wish to get rid of it as soon as possible." Xie Jingran said with a smile.

"Of course! Our wives are always different!" Song Yan said proudly, "I have waited for you to retire for several years. I have been looking forward to going to the west with you!"

Jiang Yulang looked at Song Yanyi with sparkling eyes and said, "Brother, me too."

Song Yanyi shuddered like he had been doing for decades.

You naughty brother, you’re already an old man, why do you still talk like that!

Lu Yao looked at the three husbands and couldn't help laughing.

Time flies so fast. They are all older than me. Song Yanyi is over 60 years old, and Xie Jingran and Jiang Yulang will be here soon.

The three handsome men back then have now become three handsome old men.

The black hair has turned white.

I promised to take them to see the world in this life, and now it’s time to fulfill my promise!

"We can really set off this time!" Lu Yao announced firmly.

For this day, she, Jiang Yulang, and Zhou Chengxi have been preparing for decades!

When the country was poor and the people were weak, they were unable and worried to explore.

But now, Dafeng has become prosperous, and the people live and work in peace, so they can go there with peace of mind!

One year after Lu Yao retired, he took care of all the family businesses.

Song Yan's eldest daughter of the Lu family succeeded to the position of the new head of the Lu family. The rest of the daughters and sons, as well as the third-generation granddaughters and grandchildren were also arranged.

At the beginning, Lu Yao married three husbands, and Xie Jingran gave birth to six children, four girls and two boys.

Song Yan gave birth to nine children, five girls and four boys.

Jiang Yulang also gave birth to five children, two girls and three boys.

Then, their children got married and had many more children.

Lu Yao has twenty children, but when it comes to granddaughters, the number has suddenly increased to more than two hundred.

These more than 200 people include all kinds of talents, including civil, military, business, and politics.

There were twenty-eight granddaughters who followed their grandmother Lu Yao to explore the West this time.

On the day Lu Yao set off, all the children in the family came to see her off.

"Respectfully send the ancestor off to explore the west!"

The scene of hundreds of people kowtowing together is quite spectacular.

"Hiss!" Lu Yao took a breath. "This scene, these slogans, why do they sound like I've died and ascended to heaven?"

Two hands reached out and grabbed Lu Yao's cheeks.

Xie Jingran and Song Yan, one on the left and one on the right, twisted Lu Yao's mouth.

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense!", "Pfft, say something nice!"

Lu Yao bared her teeth and said, "They are the ones who are shouting. Pinch them, don't pinch me!"

At this time, Jiang Yulang came over with a group of people and shouted to Lu Yao excitedly: "My dear wife, look who's here!"

When Lu Yao took a look, it turned out to be Zhou Chengxi!

The emperor came to see him off?

"Your Majesty has arrived. We are sorry for not coming in person to greet you." Lu Yao and others knelt down hurriedly to pay their respects.

"Oh, no need for that," Zhou Chengxi pulled Lu Yao up, "I'm no longer the emperor, please call me the emperor!"

It turned out that Zhou Chengxi finally passed the throne to the princess.

The abdication edict and other things have been written, and arrangements have been made for court officials and royal family members. We are just waiting for an auspicious day to ascend the throne and announce it to the world.

She hurried here because she was afraid that she would miss out on catching up with Lu Yao and her group.

"Fellow countryman!" Lu Yao held Zhou Chengxi's hands, her eyes moist with excitement.

After all, she was hoping that the three of them could set off together.

That was the oath we all made when we became sworn brothers.

Now, Zhou Chengxi's return to the team has really come true.

Zhou Chengxi raised his eyebrows, shook the white hair on his forehead, and said proudly while listening to the sound of +1+1 lifespan credited to his account in his mind:

"How can I, Zhou Chengxi, go back on my word? We agreed to explore the world together, so let's go together!"

Then she pointed to the royal guards behind her and said, "Look, I brought some men with me!"

It was a guard team of more than 50 people. It goes without saying that all of them were experts. They followed everyone on the expedition and were responsible for security along the way.

But what is eye-catching is not that they are the Royal Guards, but their equipment.

The latest military backpack, light steel helmet, long leather boots, engineer shovel, fine steel knife, fine steel recurve bow, pistol and long-barreled rifle.

This is just what you can see from the outside. Lu Yao believes that there must be more good things in their backpacks and Mara's luggage.

With such sophisticated equipment, although they are few in number, they are enough to defeat a hundred people.

With such a guard escorting us along the way, we can expand our territory.

Lu Yao, Jiang Yulang and Zhou Chengxi looked at each other and smiled.

With the help of encyclopedias, times have changed over the decades.

The world is no longer a simple and backward agricultural society.

The application of countless new technologies has led to the vigorous development of all industries, and new materials, new equipment and new things have emerged continuously.

Even though Lu Yao and the others still looked like ancient people, they were carrying new stuff and goodies on their bodies and in their carriages.

For them, exploring the world is not a painful and dangerous journey.

Instead, it is a safe journey with adequate supplies, excellent equipment, technology paving the way, and powerful firepower to back it up.

Even in the accompanying team, in addition to the talents from all walks of life selected by Lu Yao, there were also many people from the public who volunteered to follow, which added to the fun of the journey.

For example, writers who want to find inspiration and create new poems.

A famous doctor who wants to develop new drugs.

Businessmen who are looking for new and interesting gadgets to sell, and young people who want to build their careers.

Because this exploration was strongly sponsored and supported by the imperial court, which also formulated relevant legal documents to recognize the achievements of the participants and to reward them according to their merits after their return.

This exploration is not only Lu Yao and the other two's exploration of this world, but also Feng Chao's exploration of this world.

Beep-beep!

The horn of departure has sounded.

Lu Yao and Zhou Chengxi rode on horses, while Jiang Yulang got on a specially made carriage for long journeys.

The road ahead is long and there is a brand new world ahead.

"Let's go!"

(The play ends.)
