"Ji Aiqing, you are the humerus of the imperial court. How can I miss you?" Emperor Kang Cheng said to persuade him to stay and refused his resignation.
Your Majesty, if you continue to shout the word 'Aiqing' to Lord Ji Yongqingji instead of 'Ji Aiqing', then your words will be more credible.
"Your Majesty, my body is really powerless." Ji Yongqing said again.
Emperor Kang Cheng refused again, "Don't worry, Ji Aiqing. After the next court, I will ask the imperial doctor to go to Ji Mansion to give you a diagnosis and treatment. You can do your work with peace of mind."
The monarch and his ministers played a game of three words and three rejections.
"Your Majesty, please allow me, my old minister. This old minister's body is really broken." Ji Yongqing kowtowed for the last time.
Emperor Kang Cheng answered quickly this time, "If Ji Aiqing insists on this, then I will grant Aiqing's request."
As a result, the position of Minister of Dali Temple was vacant, and for a while, the ministers' minds were wandering.
At this time, Xie Mingtang came out and said, "Your Majesty, I recommend Lu Desheng to be promoted to Minister of Dali Temple."
Emperor Kang Cheng was stunned. He didn't expect that things would develop like this? He was still thinking about what the Xie family wanted to do by giving up the position of Minister of Dali Temple that they firmly held. I also thought, since they gave it up, who should sit on it next?
"Why do you say this, my dear?" Emperor Kang Cheng, who was in charge, stared at His Highness Xie Mingtang with his old eyes slightly narrowed. What did the Xie family want to do?
In the past few days, Lu Aiqing accompanied him to the palace and had already told him about the lesson his daughter had given Zhao Bin. He talked about Zhao Bin's ambush and plot, and also talked about her little daughter's counterattack and revenge.
It's just that the counterattack was a bit stronger. These were Lu Aiqing's exact words at the time.
Seeing that Lu Desheng's expression was not right and his attitude was coy, he asked, and then he knew the specific counterattack of his youngest daughter.
After hearing this, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Lu Aiqing quickly confessed for his daughter. What could he do? Of course I forgive him. Emperor Kang Cheng liked Lu Desheng's willingness to hide things from him very much. This kind of Lu Desheng made him feel sincere and close.
But, what is Xie Mingtang doing now? Lu Er beat Zhao Si. The Zhao family and the Xie family are in-laws. The Xie family didn't help the Zhao family regain their position, but they actually wanted to give Lu Desheng a promotion?
Xie Mingtang held the wat tablet in both hands, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "Master Lu has the ability to recognize people, and he has a sharp eye, and he can detect every detail. If there is a problem with the minister in the court, he will have discovered it before the ministers and others notice it. Impeaching them, isn't this a kind of ability? Therefore, I think Mr. Lu is suitable for taking charge of Dali Temple."
The ministers looked at him with complicated expressions as he talked nonsense seriously! I think you are quite capable, the ability to confuse right and wrong!
At this time, Lu Desheng was also shocked.
The minister of Dali Temple, the third rank, is in charge of justice, punishment and prison.
In order to mess with him, the Xie family and Zhao family were actually willing to throw out such a big piece of cake? They think highly of him too! After leaping from the fifth level to the third level, do you think that after hearing this, he would be able to help himself and jump up desperately?
But they underestimated him too much, thinking that if he was given the position of Minister of Dali Temple, he would become hot-headed? Minister of Dali Temple? Whoever wants it can take it. Grandma is so stupid. She wants to tire him to death!
As soon as Xie Mingtang expressed his gratitude, the officials on the left and right all agreed.
"Your Majesty, I second your proposal."
"Wei Chen seconded the proposal."
…
Lu Desheng glared at them, "Okay, you guys, are you going to join forces to punish me?" One by one, I will remember you! Just wait for me! Don’t even think about running away! Lu Desheng's eyes fell one by one on the faces of those who had just recommended him.
The courtiers who were stared at by him were partly puzzled, and some asked him because they were worried. The main reason was that Lu Desheng's fighting ability was too strong. If they face him individually, they are no match for him. I hope the Xie family will work harder this time and deal with him. Otherwise this feels too bad.
Prince Gong stood next to him and couldn't help but persuade him in a low voice, "Lu Yushi, don't be like this, they also have good intentions."
Lu Desheng rolled his eyes, "Do you really think I'm stupid and can't tell the difference between good and bad?"
Prince Gong was stunned and recommended him for promotion. Isn’t that good?
"You don't know anything." Lu Desheng kindly advised him, "Hurry up and find a place to stand and stop talking. You can't control this situation."
Listen to others and eat enough. Prince Gong was a good old man and not very courageous. After hearing what Lu Desheng said, he felt that something was not right in the court room and immediately found a place to stand where no one would notice him.
Most of the other unrelated ministers thought that the Xie family was so generous. They came up with a reason why Xie Mingtang did this. The position of Minister of Dali Temple is the compensation given by the Xie family to the Lu family. The marriage contract between the two families cannot continue, but it is true that Lu Songli saved Xie Zhan. It makes sense that the Xie family compensated the Lu family with the position of Minister of Dali Temple. .
They would think that everything happened because the Xie family returned the Geng Tie in exchange for the engagement token, and the Xie family also gave the Lu family a large amount of compensation. The two families did not hide this, but they did not publicize it. Lu Desheng and his wife didn't want to mention it, and the Xie family was a little self-reliant on their status and didn't take the initiative to publicize it, but they would tell others if they asked. The other two witnesses are not talkative people. So many people knew that the Xie family had compensated them.
This is a misunderstanding caused by poor information.
Some of these ministers who were not well-informed or did not understand why could not help but sigh at the Xie family's generosity, and then looked at Zhao Wenkuan, your prospective in-laws are so kind to your ex-in-laws, what do you think?
Zhao Wenkuan's face was expressionless, making it impossible to tell any clues. But with him acting like this, it's easy for people to think that he's unhappy. Such a reaction is normal. If it were Zhao Wenkuan who replaced them, they would not be happy either.
The palaces of these ministers are still not deep enough. Some of the deeper cities have already discovered the clues.
Emperor Kangcheng saw so many ministers who were following Xie Mingtang and asked Lu Desheng, "Lu Aiqing, what do you say?"
Lu Desheng quickly expressed his loyalty, "Your Majesty, I refuse! I don't dare to dream, and I can't do it well. I know that I have little talent, little knowledge, and little moral character. It is a great luck to be appointed as the fifth-grade censor, and the emperor's favor. In fact, I There is nothing I can do, it is really impossible and incompetent to be the minister of Dali Temple."
Flatterer!
Xie Mingtang immediately said, "Censor Lu does not have to be humble. Your Majesty, Censor Lu has been in the position of fifth-grade censor for too long. Over the years, he has done hard work without any credit, and the emperor cannot but reward him."
When he said this, Xie Mingtang was actually feeling tired. He didn't expect to just give him a promotion, and he didn't drag him to behead him. As for refusing him like this? If only a few people knew about their plan, and he could guarantee that they would never reveal the secret, he would have suspected that Lu Desheng knew their plan in advance!
"Yes, Your Majesty, we cannot let the heroes feel cold."
"Master Lu has done a lot for the emperor these years."
