Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

After Lu Xunhuan was appointed as the Prime Minister, he attended a court session, returned home and arranged all the necessary people, and then began to plan the next step.

The two masters from Zhou Kingdom followed him all the way to Yingzhou City.

This is a huge threat to him.

It made him feel like a thorn in his back, and he couldn't feel at ease until the thorn was removed.

On the one hand, his safety is threatened at all times.

On the other hand, he came to Yingzhou City to find out the dragon bones.

If those two masters secretly learned the secret of the dragon bones, I'm afraid there would be complications.

He couldn't let go and check the keel until the threat was lifted.

On the second day, when the king went to court, he listened to some reports from the ministers and then turned the topic to the policy of governing the country.

Lu Xunhuan still made some preparations first and then asked everyone to discuss it.

There were heated debates in the court and it was difficult to reach a consensus.

Lu Xun Huan said to His Majesty, "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, if you read a book a hundred times, its meaning will become clear. Please give us a few more days to think about it. There is no need to rush."

His Majesty the King nodded and said, "Alright, I will go back and reflect on this a little bit. Now let's dismiss the court."

Lu Xun Huan bowed again and said, "Your Majesty, I have something else to discuss with you. May I..."

His Majesty the King came over and put his hand on his shoulder: "Okay, let's go and take a look at my royal garden."

After an incense stick of time, Lu Xunhuan followed His Majesty the King to a small lake in the imperial garden.

There is a covered bridge extending straight from the land to the center of the lake, where a magnificent pavilion is built.

His Majesty the King sat down in the pavilion: "Ming Dexi, tea, yes, machine tea."

He chuckled and said, "The tea from Baocheng is said to be loved by the ancients. You can try it later."

Lu Xunhuan saluted: "As you wish."

His Majesty the King asked, "I would like to list Jizi tea as tribute tea, both because it is indeed a good tea and to pay tribute to the ancestors. What do you think?"

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "Your Majesty is wise. I thank you on behalf of the people of Baocheng."

His Majesty the King gestured, "Don't stand and talk. Sit down."

Lu Xun Huan sat down in the seat opposite the king and told him the purpose of his meeting with His Majesty today: "Your Majesty, I would like to meet the two masters who guard the palace."

His Majesty the King was quite surprised: "Oh, my dear, why do you want to know them?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "There are two masters, probably sent by the Zhou Kingdom, who have been following me."

His Majesty the King couldn't help but frown. "They know that there is a great sage in Nanliang, and they are coming to murder us. This is simply despicable. My dear, rest assured. I will order them to be killed."

Lu Xun Huan said, "Your Majesty, the strength of those two is said to be no less than that of the two masters in the palace."

"So, in order to ensure 100% success and to ensure that we don't suffer any casualties, I will design and set a trap for them."

His Majesty the King stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and said, "You will borrow my two masters when the time comes, right?"

Lu Xun Huan nodded and said, "If I borrow the expert, even if it's only for a few hours, Your Majesty will be unsafe without the expert's protection. If Your Majesty thinks it's inappropriate, then I can refuse to lend him the money."

His Majesty the King said, "At my age, I have nothing to fear. Even if something happens to me, the Crown Prince will immediately take the throne. It won't be a problem."

He looked at the lotus flowers blooming in the lake and said, "Life is like a summer flower. After blooming, it will eventually wither. My dear, what are your plans? Tell me."

The two chatted for a while and it was already noon.

On the covered bridge, a group of palace maids came in an orderly manner, carrying His Majesty's lunch.

His Majesty the King turned around and said, "My dear, let's have dinner together."

Lu Xunhuan nodded and saluted: "I obey your command."

After a while, the maid who was walking first arrived beside them and placed the lunch on the table.

When His Majesty the King opened the lid, he saw a fish dish with great color, aroma and taste. Just the smell of it whetted one's appetite.

He gestured, "The rest is not urgent. Let me talk about this fish first."

The king gave the order, and there were still twenty palace maids behind him, so they had no choice but to wait in line with their lunch.

The king said, "Governing a large country is like cooking a small fish. When cooking this fish, you must not stir it frequently, or it will rot."

He asked Lu Xunhuan, "But my dear, you turned the world upside down in Baocheng before, but you didn't make a mess of it. In fact, it was getting better and better."

Lu Xun Huan smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I only govern a small state, so it's easy to manage. But if we bring the same tactics we used in Baocheng to Yingzhou City and promote them nationwide, there will be problems."

The king asked, "How could there be a problem? You encourage technological change. Is there a problem?"

"Also, you advocate the development of transportation. Is there a problem with that?"

"You established a chamber of commerce to encourage merchants from Baocheng to go abroad and make money across the country. Is there a problem with that?"

Lu Xun Huan replied, "In Baocheng, there will be no problem. Baocheng is a small place. When new policies are introduced, I can check how they are being implemented at any time.

"But the Southern Liang Kingdom is so large, and if Your Majesty wants to implement new policies, everyone must listen. Otherwise, Your Majesty can only visit each place one by one, which is unrealistic."

His Majesty the King asked, "I have given an order, and there is still anyone who dares not to obey?"

Lu Xun Huan pondered and said, "Your Majesty, all living beings in this world are driven by profit. If the new policies are useful to certain interest groups, they will use them. If they are useless to them, they will probably pretend to obey but secretly disobey."

His Majesty the King then asked, "If you say so, then I won't be able to implement any new policies."

Lu Xun Huan explained: "That's not what I meant. Baocheng has some experience that we can learn from."

"But some things are not suitable for the entire country. Every place in Southern Liang has its own unique geography, weather, customs, products, etc. We can't just copy them, but must adapt to local conditions."

His Majesty the King stroked his beard, his eyes brightened, as if he suddenly understood.

"I understand. If I want to promote reform, I don't necessarily need to implement unified standards from top to bottom. Instead, I can allow each state to learn from Baocheng's experience and come up with their own reform measures."

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "Your Majesty is wise, this is exactly what I meant."

His Majesty the King chuckled and said, "Good, good, I've solved it, I've solved it. It's really brilliant, wonderful beyond words. Now for the second dish."

When two people serve a dish, they have to talk about it.

By the time the 21st dish was placed on the table, it was already cold.

The woman serving the dishes waved her hands and said, "Father, are you deliberately letting the Prime Minister eat cold dishes? My hands are sore."

His Majesty chuckled and said, "Haha, Mi'er, you too. If you wanted to come, you should have been the first in line. But you insisted on being the last. Who can you blame?"

The woman was Princess Mier. She pouted and said, "I wanted to give you a surprise, really."

His Majesty the King said, "Okay, okay, don't be angry, sit down and join us."

Princess Mier picked up her chopsticks and served some food to Lu Xunhuan: "Eat more. It takes a lot of thought to come up with ideas for your father."

Lu Xun Huan bowed and said, "Thank you, Princess."

His Majesty the King jokingly said, "Oh, I've never seen you so considerate to your father before."

Princess Mi'er blushed slightly: "Father, now that he has come to Yingzhou City, can your imperial decree be implemented?"

His Majesty the King teased her, "Ah, are you in such a hurry? Lord Lu is helping me now, and I still have a lot of things to do. Can the marriage wait for two years?"

Princess Mier complained, "Why do you have to wait two years? If he becomes my consort, can he no longer serve you?"

The king saw that she was getting anxious, so he stopped teasing her and said, "Ask the Prime Minister what he thinks."

Princess Mier turned her beautiful eyes to Lu Xunhuan: "Say something."

Lu Xunhuan put down his chopsticks: "Well... I'm new here, so I do have a lot of things to do..."

Princess Mier stood up and said, "You have no say. I'm going to find my mother."

After saying that, she left.

His Majesty the King watched her walk away and asked Lu Xunhuan, "My dear, are you dissatisfied with my arrangements?"

Lu Xun Huan explained, "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that you should at least make some achievements for Your Majesty before we can discuss that matter. Otherwise..."

His Majesty the King nodded and said, "I understand. Some people are dissatisfied with you being the Prime Minister, and you want to prove yourself first."
