Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 201 All will be buried

Suddenly, Dong Xiaowan turned around and gently blew out the candlelight beside the phoenix couch.

The room was suddenly plunged into darkness.

"Xiao Wan wants to repay the Prime Minister, and hopes that the Prime Minister will not dislike Xiao Wan."

Dong Zhaoyi said.

"Xiao Wan, are you really willing?"

Lu Hao asked softly.

"Master Xiang, please have mercy on Xiao Wan."

After Dong Zhaoyi finished speaking, he took off his coat.

Lu Hao suddenly became bolder in the darkness.

The Minister of Industry is one of the several giants in the Military Aircraft Department.

Since Lu Hao gave such an important position to the Dong family, he also wanted to bring Dong Xiaowan's family to the imperial capital to be with her.

Dong Xiaowan really didn't know how to thank such a man for her.

The only one who can take advantage of it is herself.

Although it was for his family, Lu Hao was a real man who filled her lonely heart.

"Could it be that the man who favored me before was always this man and not the emperor?"

Dong Xiaowan was puzzled.

However, she did not ask in the end.

……

The next day, Lu Hao issued a transfer order in the name of the Military Aircraft Department.

Lord Dong Bifang, the governor of Jianghuai County, was so excited that he burst into tears when he received the transfer order and was to go to the imperial capital to serve as Minister of Industry.

In addition, his son Dong Xiaojun was also transferred to the Imperial Capital and served as the head of the Third Division of the Supervision Department.

The father and son received promotions and salary increases, and there was also a letter from Empress Zhaoyi, allowing them to take their family to the imperial capital.

For a moment, the Dong family was so prosperous that they thought there was smoke coming out of the ancestral grave.

Of course, Lu Hao also has his own considerations.

Peng Weiqiang is indeed a skilled craftsman and is very good at making things, but he is still a little behind in managing the government affairs of the Ministry of Industry.

Mr. Dong Bifang, the governor of Jianghuai County, came to be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Peng Weiqiang gave him the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry and asked him to help him build guns and ammunition. It was the right thing to do.

Sure enough, Peng Weiqiang was overjoyed when he heard that someone had come to take over the post of Minister.

Lu Hao has been sitting in the Military Aircraft Department these days, handling large and small matters, and quickly straightened out the work of various departments.

At the same time, Chen Lin and Liu Mu received a reply from the court and prepared for war.

Hangu Pass is a natural barrier from the Central Plains to the west. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If you want to bypass this pass, you need to march at least more than 500 kilometers, and you have to cross mountains and ridges.

Liu Mu had seen this move a long time ago, so he asked Liu Fan to sneak attack the defenders of Hangu Pass.

In fact, after Liu Fan led his troops here, they marched day and night, and with internal support, the sneak attack was barely successful.

There were too few defenders at that time, and the attack was late at night. They were caught off guard, so they conserved their strength and withdrew from Hangu Pass.

Liu Mu immediately sent Liu Qian and led an army of [-] to Hangu Pass to prevent Chen Lin from counterattacking.

Chen Lin received a reply from the court and did not launch an attack immediately, but stood still.

As the Imperial Military God, he knew very well that if he attacked Hangu Pass, he didn't know how many people would die.

It's better to be still than to move.

Therefore, Chen Lin's side was calm and there seemed to be no offensive posture.

On the contrary, it was Liu Mu who waited for Liu Qian to enter Hangu Pass. Liu Mu personally led an army of 20 people and marched straight into the Central Plains south towards Hangu Pass.

The momentum was huge and murderous, and he looked like he would never give up until Chen Lin was killed.

When Lu Hao heard the intelligence sent today, he already knew it in his heart.

Anyway, you should fight, and when you both lose, the truth will come to deal with you.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, all the gold and silver jewelry sent to Jintao Pavilion for auction have been delivered."

Ruyanhui reports.

"What's wrong? Seeing that you look unhappy, are you feeling sorry for those gold and silver jewelry?"

Lu Hao asked with a smile.

"You prodigal son, we managed to collect some family property for you, and you auctioned it off." Rushuang also looked unhappy.

"Silly girl, money is something external to one's body. Didn't I want you to keep something for yourself as a dowry?"

Lu Hao joked with a smile.

"Come on, you took so much money just to give that ugly woman Xuanyuan Lingyu, right?"

Asked like smoke.

"How is that possible? How can she spend all that money? I want to use it to build a new army."

Lu Hao responded with a smile.

"Then why don't you let us sisters build a new army?"

Rushuang was very unconvinced.

"Hahaha……"

Lu Haole laughed and replied: "You sisters are okay with killing people, but if you want to be a general, you must know the art of war. Do you know it?"

"What is the art of war? Our sisters are not bad at fighting!"

Ruyan said in confusion.

"To be honest, you sisters are now the commanders of the Imperial Guards. This is a high-power position, and you are also responsible for protecting the Prime Minister. If you are sent to build a new army, who will protect the Prime Minister and the palace?"

Lu Hao had no choice but to continue to fool the two sisters.

"Okay, we'll stay and protect you!"

Speaking of protecting him, the Yi sisters finally said nothing more.

"Okay, you go and notify the civil and military officials and ask them to assemble. We will go over to pay homage to the Empress Dowager in a while."

Lu Hao explained.

The two sisters immediately sent people to notify the civil and military officials to enter the palace.

After Lu Hao finished processing the memorial sent today, he took the civil and military officials to Cining Palace to pay homage to the Empress Dowager.

Prince Rui saw so many people and hurried forward to pay homage to Lu Hao and others.

"Prince Rui, there is no need to be polite. Today, the Prime Minister has brought all the civil and military officials to pay homage to the Queen Mother. I also ask Prince Rui to handle matters according to the ancestral system..."

Lu Hao said casually.

At this time, he saw Nalan Xiuting kneeling on the ground, as well as many palace maids and eunuchs.

The two people's eyes intertwined, and they missed each other endlessly.

Lu Hao lined up the civil and military officials and was the first to go in and kowtow to the Empress Dowager.

After he came out, he was followed by six ministers, and then other officials.

"Master Prime Minister, please go to the side hall to rest for the time being."

Prince Rui said.

"No, I would like to ask Prince Rui how to deal with those eunuchs and maids?"

Lu Hao looked at the group of eunuchs and maids kneeling on the ground.

"To be honest, Mr. Prime Minister, according to the ancestral system, all the eunuchs and maids who served the Empress Dowager in Cining Palace must be buried as sacrifices!"

Prince Rui responded loudly.

"What? Are they all going to be buried?"

Lu Hao was also shocked.

When the other eunuchs and maids heard this, their faces turned pale and they were so frightened that they lost their minds.

"Master Prime Minister, is there anything wrong?"

Prince Rui said in confusion.

"Cough...cough...I actually think it is too cruel for so many people to be buried!"

Lu Hao coughed a few times.

"Master Xiang, what do you mean..."

Prince Rui looked at him as if asking.

"Prince Rui, does the ancestral system require sacrifices to be buried? Or is it a voluntary principle?"

Lu Hao asked.
