Chapter 18
Jiang was funny, "Aren't you going to tell me how to deal with your father? Why are you praising your father instead?"
Lu Songli said confidently, "Of course you should praise what you do well."
"Then tell me, if you were my political opponent, how would you deal with me?" Lu Desheng asked. He had just listened to her analysis of herself and summarized it deeply. He suddenly looked forward to what methods she would use to bring her down. What about him?
What I said before was just a foreshadowing. Seeing that her father was serious, Lu Songli stopped showing off and directly pointed out her purpose, "If I were to be my father's opponent, the first step would be to train a man as eloquent as my father." The person who defends me, and then find an opportunity for the emperor to discover him."
"The second step is to unite as many ministers as possible to present a memorial to the Emperor, sing your praises to your father, praise your achievements to death over the years, and propose that the Emperor promote you. When the Emperor really promotes you, you will He is no longer the censor. The vacant seat will remind the emperor of the person he arranged before."
"The last step is that since you are in a high position, I will arrange for people to dig a few holes in the errands you handle, and then expose them. At this time, the emperor will already have an eloquent person like you to replace you. You made a big mistake in your previous position as censor. Do you think the emperor will continue to protect you as before?"
"No." Lu Desheng shook his head honestly and with difficulty.
"At that time, it will be the best time to get rid of you." After a combination of punches, her father will be defeated even if he is not defeated.
Hearing this, Lu Desheng's hair stood on end. Hiss, what a vicious plan, extremely insidious. If he did this, he would surely capsize in the gutter.
Her mother was stunned, obviously frightened by her words.
Lu Songli originally didn't want to say this, because it was not in line with the original owner's temperament. She didn't mean to scare her parents like this, but the current situation was too serious.
Although her father said there was no need to worry, Lu Songli estimated that after this battle, his political opponents once again saw how threatening her father was, and some of them would be unable to sit still. Moreover, when a punch is thrown out and taken back, it is also the most vulnerable time for someone to take advantage of you.
Mrs. Jiang came back to her senses and said in a daze, "Ah Li, you are so smart."
"Daughter, your recent performance has impressed your father with admiration. Have you always been hiding your clumsiness?" Lu Desheng couldn't believe that his little daughter actually had such amazing political talent. Yes, political talent. He had been looking forward to discovering something in his eldest son and second son, but in the end there was nothing. She knows people well and has a clear understanding of the situation...
"Dad, why did you say that?"
"You used to be timid and timid, and you were quiet and didn't say much when things happened. But since you found out that the Xie family had the intention to break off the engagement, you seemed to have relaxed and seemed not to care."
Lu Songli:? ? ? She was curious about what these parents had imagined for her.
"Isn't it? Xie Zhan misunderstood you! Your mother and I both feel the same way. Before, you set yourself according to the standards of the Xie family's wife, but now it is your true temperament." Lu Desheng discussed with his old wife As time went on, the more I talked about it, the more I felt that this was the case. They had no doubt that she was not their daughter. If she was not his biological daughter, how could she lie in front of him without hesitation, and how could she always protect them.
Lu Songli: How else can you explain it this way?
I thought so, but Lu Songli felt that she needed to explain in a low voice, "Dad, I am not hiding my clumsiness. I suddenly became clumsy after falling into the water that day."
Their family is a natural alliance. This is not the era in later generations when one person does something and the other is not as guilty as his wife and children. In ancient times, the joint sitting system was implemented. If one person commits a crime, the whole family will be implicated.
She studied in later generations, and there was a Jewish saying that particularly impressed her: People who are good to you will always be good to you, and if you are good to others, they may not necessarily be good to you. Lu's father and mother have always been very kind to the original owner. Lu Songli feels that she has become their daughter, and no matter how her personality changes, they will still be kind to her.
This is also the reason why after passing through, he did not restrain himself and blindly imitated the original owner.
Lu Desheng slapped his thigh, "You suddenly became enlightened! It's the same as Zang Zhuo."
Jiang suddenly clasped his hands together and said, "God bless you."
Lu Songli: ...Forget it, just be happy.
This can be regarded as a settlement with her father and mother. At least if her father really encounters something next time, she can help and will not be left out.
Jiang seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly walked towards the door, even opened it, looked around before closing the door again, "What you just said cannot be heard by outsiders."
Lu Songli laughed, "Mom, since I proposed this plan, I naturally have a way to deal with it."
"My mother understood it just now. The only way your method can work is to jointly ask the emperor to promote your father. Does that mean that your father will not accept it? Or that the emperor will not agree to them."
"No, if the emperor doesn't agree, then all the pressure will come to the emperor. It's equivalent to dad bringing trouble to the emperor. This is not good."
"Then let your father refuse to accept it."
"Don't accept it? What if the other party keeps adding more money? If you go up to the fourth rank, mother, you won't be tempted, and then go up to the fourth rank? From the third rank? From the third rank? Even if you, mother, are not tempted, what about the others? For example, the eldest brother, sister-in-law, and eldest sister and younger brother them."
"Hey, daughter, what do you think your father should do?" Ms. Jiang was worried. She had an inexplicable premonition that her daughter's hypothesis would come true.
"Dad, first of all, please send someone to look out to see if there are any eloquent talents like you emerging in the market. You don't have to cast a wide net, just pay attention to the emperor's favorite place in Chang'an City when he visits privately. Just two places and the three most famous restaurants among literati." Prepare for a rainy day, Lu Songli never underestimates anyone.
"Then, Dad, find an opportunity to express your loyalty to the emperor, express your willingness not to be promoted for the rest of your life, and block all the bad comments directed at him for him. That's roughly what it means. How to put it more specifically, dad is an expert in this field. I won't do whatever I want." For people like Emperor Kang Cheng, it doesn't matter what he does, what matters is how he says it. She said that the ancients were still too reserved, and even her father was relatively bold in revealing his true feelings to the emperor.
"Naughty!"
"Finally, Dad must continue to refine his business capabilities so that others cannot replace him. Then no one can pry the seat under your butt. Okay, I'm done."
"I'll go to the study to read in a minute!" Lu Desheng suddenly felt a deep sense of crisis. His daughter was right. He felt that he could work harder and his level of trolling could be improved.
Lu Songli: That doesn’t have to be the case.
"After doing this, if someone uses the poisonous plan Ah Li just proposed, will it not work?" Jiang asked.
Lu Songli thought to herself that she had an even more sinister plan. But considering that her parents have endured too much today, they won't mention it. And she was also confident that if someone used such a vicious trick against the Lu family, she would be able to detect it quickly.
"You kid, your father just came back from the next morning, and you don't feel sorry for your father. Please save these words until your father has rested."
"No, no, I'm not tired," Lu Desheng turned to Lu Songli and said, "I'm glad you can tell me this."
God knows how much pressure he felt while groping alone along the way. What his little girl said to him today was like a light illuminating the road ahead, and he suddenly felt at ease about the road ahead.
"Dad, grandma is right. You have worked too hard these past two days. You will have a rest after lunch."
"Okay." Lu Desheng responded. He didn't feel it even if his daughter didn't say it just now, but now that she said it, he could feel the fatigue coming from deep within his body.
As soon as he felt tired, it showed on his face.
This Lu Songli has experience. He has suffered from the sequelae of high-intensity mental work. From the moment her father decided to deal with the Zhao family, from the initial preparation stage to the confrontation period this morning, his spirit and mood were even worse during this morning. Reaching the peak of the entire stage, the excitement passed, the emotions subsided, and the body's sensation returned.
The Lu family served lunch very early today.
While eating, Lu Desheng accidentally mentioned that in a few days, there should be a reward from the emperor.
When Lu Songli heard this, she glanced at her father. Just as Lu Desheng seemed to realize something after he finished speaking, he looked towards her. The father and daughter looked at each other and understood what the other meant. This was an opportunity.
After lunch, Lu Desheng went to take a nap. Mrs. Jiang took Lu Songli to pack the gifts. She would go out soon and go to the Xu family to visit her eldest sister. This was agreed yesterday.
Taking advantage of the good weather, Mr. Jiang urged her to set off, wanting her to go early and come back early.
Lu Songli called this talk "Risk Aversion Contingency Plan for Dad and His Career Planning Direction in Five Years."
Even when Lu Desheng was over seventy years old, he still remembered that in this year, his youngest daughter Lu Songli, who was only fifteen years old, showed amazing political talent and accurately predicted the first major crisis in his official career, and in Later, he fought against those old foxes who tried to bring him down, and taught them an unforgettable lesson.
