Chapter 1577 Night Banquet
After arranging Sharon and others, Luo Xin apologized to Sharon and went to the palace to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with Emperor Longqing tonight, and held a banquet to entertain Sharon and others tomorrow.
Sharon and others heard that the Ming Emperor just invited Luo Xin to the palace to celebrate the festival, and each of them had an excitement light, which showed that Luo Xin had a bright future. Only when Luo Xin had a bright future could they have a bright future. Luo Xin still said a little apologetically:
"If His Majesty hadn't invited you in person, he would have been welcomed today."
"Mr. Luo, don't worry about us. We were very tired all the way, so we just happened to have a good sleep."
"Okay, you have a good rest tonight. I will send someone to take you around the capital tomorrow and welcome you to the evening."
"Sir, you said in the letter that you will set up a college in the capital this time?" Sharon looked at Luo Xin with a bright look.
"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "I will try my best to win an official position for Mr. Saron."
"Really?" Sharon stood up excitedly. He had been traveling in the Ming Dynasty for many years and had a deep understanding of the Ming Dynasty. He knew what it means to have an official position.
"It should be no problem." Luo Xin smiled and said, "Mr. Sir, you guys should rest first."
Luo Xin left the cross-yard and went to see Dai'er. Seeing Dai'er choosing clothes, Luo Xin walked in and said:
"My husband, I'm still a little nervous when I go to see Your Majesty."
"What's there to be nervous about?" Luo Xin smiled and said, "You haven't seen the emperor before."
"But..." Dai'er said with some confusion on her face: "Your Majesty was not the emperor at that time."
"That's no different, the person is still that person."
"Xiao Jun is here too?" Luo Yu looked up at Luo Xin and said.
"Yes." Luo Xin touched Luo Yu's head and nodded.
"It's almost two years since I saw him." Luo Yu's face showed longing expression: "I don't know if Xiaojun has forgotten me."
"It probably won't be." Luo Xin smiled.
"It's hard to say!" Luo Xin said like a little little girl: "When he moved into the palace, he was only over two years old, maybe he had forgotten me."
Half an hour later, Luo Xin and his family arrived at Dong'anmen in a car sedan, and then rode to the Qianqing Palace in the sedan chair prepared in the palace. Of course, Luo Xin did not take the sedan chair, but walked side by side with Feng Bao who came to greet him. When he saw Luo Xin again, Feng Bao was much more polite, and Luo Xin also greeted him with a smile, as if nothing had happened in the morning.
This was the first time Daier and Luo Yu came to the palace. Daier was so nervous that she didn't dare to raise her head. Instead, Luo Yu looked around, looking for Emperor Longqing's son Zhu Yijun.
When he arrived at the main hall of Qianqing Palace, Luo Xin took Daier and Luo Yu to pay homage to the emperor and the queen. However, before Luo Xin's family of three knelt down, Emperor Longqing and the queen stepped forward together and supported them. Emperor Longqing and the queen were already very familiar with Luo Xin's family, and knew that Luo Xin was their support, otherwise they would not know how bullied by all officials, so they were very polite to Luo Xin's family.
When eating in the palace, naturally, it would not be like Luo Xin's house, where everyone gathered around a table, but sat in separate tables. Emperor Longqing, Luo Xin, Luo Yu and Zhu Yijun had a table, Dai'er, the queen and the imperial concubine had a table.
Crown Prince Zhu Yijun still vaguely remembers Luo Yu. The two children sat together, which quickly evoked Zhu Yijun's memories and started chatting. Luo Xin and Emperor Longqing also chatted and laughed, telling some things about Emperor Longqing when he was King Yu.
The Queen and the Imperial Concubine were also very polite to Dai'er. It seemed that Emperor Longqing had instructed them, so Dai'er soon stopped panic and started talking and laughing with the Queen and Imperial Concubine.
It took only half an hour for a meal, and Luo Xin left with Dai'er and Luo Yu. If Luo Xin was alone, Emperor Longqing could still keep Luo Xin and chat with them happily. To be honest, Emperor Longqing was also pitiful. After ascending the throne, there was no one who could chat with him, and only Luo Xin could chat with him, but Luo Xin was busy with official duties, so where could he have time to chat with him?
Therefore, Emperor Longqing and Luo Xin were still unsatisfied in chatting tonight, but Luo Xin came from a family of three, so it is naturally difficult to force him to stay.
On the way home, Dai'er leaned in Luo Xin's arms, looking exhausted, Luo Xin said:
"Why are you so tired when you go to dinner?"
Dai'er rolled her eyes to Luo Xin and said, "That's when I was having dinner with the queen and the imperial concubine. I was so nervous that I forgot what I was eating."
Luo Xin patted Dai'er's little hand and said, "What's the matter with this? I think the queen and the imperial concubine are very nice to you."
A proud look appeared on Dai'er's face and said, "This is all the face that my husband has to fight for."
"Father, Xiaojun still remembers me." Luo Yu next to him said unwillingly.
"Well, I saw it for my father."
the next day.
Luo Xin arranged for Lu Yuan to take Sharon and others to visit the capital, and he went to the cabinet. Today, the cabinet was going to hold a meeting as usual. Luo Xin walked into the room and felt the atmosphere was a little strange. After thinking for a moment, he knew that the matter of having dinner with the emperor had been reported.
People are popular and are jealous!
Luo Xin didn't care and sat there steadily. Now that Xu Jie left, Gao Gong had no opponent. Luo Xin really needed the support of Emperor Longqing. He didn't have high requirements, but he just didn't want Gao Gong to participate in the reform of the Handicraft Department. Now it seems that the meal last night was still effective.
However, the side effects were also very great. During the entire meeting, Gao Gong did not ask Luo Xin a word. In the usual meeting, Gao Gong would ask Luo Xin for his opinion, but today he did not.
"This old man's heart is really narrow!"
Luo Xin shook his head, but didn't care. Anyway, there was no mention of the slightest thing about the Ministry of Works at the meeting. It seemed that although Gao Gong was jealous of Luo Xin and deliberately excluded and suppressed Luo Xin, he did not touch Luo Xin's things.
However, Gao Gong ignored Luo Xin, and finally Luo Xin spoke. He proposed that the academy he was going to establish was located in the name of the Institute of Technology. Gao Gong naturally would not oppose such a small matter, so he passed it in an instant.
After a while, Luo Xin did not stay and immediately went to the Ministry of Works. Now it is the preparation stage for the Ministry of Works reform, and there are too many things that Luo Xin needs to make an idea.
Now that Sharon and others have arrived, the three major camps of military supervisors have been resolved, Luo Xin has focused all his energy on the reform of the Ministry of Works. The Ministry of Works was originally under the jurisdiction of Luo Xin, and Gao Gong couldn't say anything. Moreover, when Gao Gong saw that Luo Xin was not involved in Gao Gong's control of the cabinet at all, he just devoted his energy to the reform of the Ministry of Works, he also understood Luo Xin's thoughts.
