Ru Yue Shu Yun Feng Wen Wan

After all the key figures entered the meeting room, the people in the yard disappeared and the courtyard returned to its former tranquility.

Qi Changyun introduced.

"This is Grand Tutor Lu. Grand Tutor, this is the He Ru I was talking about."

Grand Tutor, Lu Qian. The man who stood firmly behind the young emperor was worthy of admiration. He was generally described as upright, righteous, loyal, and knowledgeable.

He Ru performed a student's salute in a serious manner.

"Hello Mr. Lu, I'm He Ru."

After Lu Qianwei helped him up, he said, "Don't worry about these empty formalities, let's talk about business!"

Even the nonchalant Lan Lian and the Buddhist Fu Ning bowed to the Grand Tutor before the ceremony was over.

Lan Lian placed two jars of salt in front of Master Lu.

Master Lu was indeed a man of great experience. He could tell the difference between this salt and the Hua family salt at a glance. He also dipped a little into his mouth and said, "Good salt, good salt! Little girl, did you extract this?"

He Ru nodded.

As if he had discovered some talent, Master Lu looked at He Ru with a brighter look than when he looked at Yan: "Young people are truly formidable!"

He Ru: "Sir, thank you for your compliment!"

"Don't be so modest, just tell me what you want!"

He Ru: "I can hand over the formula for refining crude salt to the court and will not interfere with official salt, but you have to meet my conditions."

Master Lu was afraid that she would not want anything. If she did, he would doubt her intentions. This was quite generous.

"you say!"

He Ru glanced at Qi Changyun, and this glance made the Grand Tutor alert.

Master Lu: Has Qi Changyun's identity been exposed? Is this little girl going to ask for too much?

"I want to join the Ministry of Revenue!"

The three people except Qi Changyun: fell off the horse, the stool was very slippery, and the chin was very heavy.

Fu Ning: "Can you say it again?"

He Ru: "I want to join the Ministry of Revenue!" He said it with absolute determination, leaving no room for doubt.

Lan Lian said that he was ultimately ignorant and shallow.

Master Lu: "You want to break the moral code?"

He Ru understood that people like the Grand Tutor were more or less rigid.

With a slight smile, he explained, "If we really want to trace the origin, it seems that the saints did not forbid women from taking the lead. This rule was given by later generations. If later generations can give it, then the rules can be changed."

Grand Tutor Lu said, "What you said makes sense, young lady. It's just that we can agree, but others may not agree. Not to mention that you want to join the Ministry of Revenue of that scoundrel Xiao Yan! We probably won't go against everyone's opinion and push you to that position."

He Ru knew clearly that the young emperor could hardly protect himself. If he made even the slightest mistake, his position would be unstable. How could he have the energy to support a female official?

This solution had already emerged in He Ru's mind, it just needed cooperation.

"What if I let them push me into that position themselves?"

Several people became interested.

Qi Changyun: "What do you mean?"

He Ru: "I put forward a hypothesis, can you help me see if it is true?"

"We will first suppress the Hua family, and then give them the illusion that they can survive by risking their lives. This illusion will be me. Then they will definitely want to win me over, and then I will take advantage of the situation to propose my conditions."

"When the time comes, I will be in Cao's camp but my heart will be with Han, and I will be able to provide you with some convenience."

Master Lu: "This is a good way to kill two birds with one stone."

Qi Changyun: "I can only say that if it succeeds, we can have the best of both worlds. But what if it doesn't?"

He Ru: "No, it won't have much impact on you, it just affects me more. I chose the path I want to take, and I can't blame others for my success or failure."

Qi Changyun retorted sharply: "No, it's too risky!"

He Ru: "Are there any other potential dangers?"

Everyone thinks.

It has to be said that this plan made Master Lu very excited. This was a chess piece delivered to his door for free, so he would have to use it if he didn't use it.

He didn't have much affection for this young girl he had just met, and he felt no guilt in taking advantage of her. Besides, they were just getting what they wanted, so there wasn't much reason for them to be so emotionally attached.

The danger that hadn't happened yet was too difficult to imagine, so everyone shook their heads.

He Ru: "Then it's settled..."

"No." He was interrupted by a firm statement.

He Ru looked in the direction of the voice, and it was still Qi Changyun.

He was staring at He Ru with his eyes wide open. When he saw her looking at him, he stood up and pulled her outside.

Maybe he was too anxious and grabbed He Ru's wrist so hard that it hurt.

"You, do you think those old foxes are stupid? You alone can fight them like this."

He Ru: "Don't I still have you guys? I'm not fighting alone!" Knowing that he cares about her, she felt a little less confident.

Qi Changyun was really helpless with her: "How can you be so sure that the higher-ups...will definitely help you?"

He Ru will not doubt it once he takes this step, otherwise he will lose confidence: "I think he can see my shining point."

In fact, what she wanted to say was: It's his loss if he doesn't use me. But she didn't dare!

Qi Changyun: ...You are right!

"You really don't want to think about it anymore?"

He Ru answered simply: "No!"

So the matter was settled.

Young people are always so fearless and always think that they are the center of the world and that they are indispensable to the world. But it is often this kind of fearlessness that can lead the times.

This is what Master Lu was thinking.

Several people discussed the details in the room until the moon rose to the zenith, and then they left the room.

Not knowing how to accommodate them, He Ru only knew that he was about to fall apart, so he asked Fu Ning to check his pulse before going back.

Fu Ning: "It's nothing, she's just overworked. Just take a good rest for the next two days. You are not allowed to disturb her, do you hear me?"

Lan Lian: "It's none of my business!"

Qi Changyun: "Got it!"

Fu Ning: "Grand Master! Let's rest here!"

As soon as He Ru walked to the next door, he found a lamp left on under the eaves, but the yard was quiet, probably because everyone had gone to sleep.

I’m so tired, He Ru quickly washed himself.

It was so uncomfortable not being able to take a proper bath in such a hot day. I took out my pajamas from the closet. It was a set of short-sleeved shirt and shorts. It was too hot. There was gauze wrapped around my waist. It was too hot.

I was very tired, but it was really too hot. Why has it never been this hot before?

Take a big palm-leaf fan and fan! Fan! Fan!

I finally fell asleep in the heat, and just before I lost consciousness I was still thinking: This is so hard!

I was halfway through my sleep when I felt the temperature had dropped and I could only feel gusts of cool breeze.

He Ru suddenly woke up. Is it going to rain?

She only remembered that her window was still open. She drowsily lifted the thin blanket and climbed up to close the window.

She had only taken two steps when she bumped into something, which frightened her so much that she jumped three feet away and opened her eyes.
