Chapter 70
Bitch, everyone wants to harm him! But Lu Desheng had no time to argue with these people now. He was more concerned about the emperor's reaction. He is now afraid that the emperor will really promote him for his own good.
Emperor Kangcheng was silent and seemed to be shaken.
When Lu Desheng saw this, he blurted out as if in a hurry, "Your Majesty, you promised me! Let me stay in the position of censor!"
Emperor Kang Cheng heard this and looked towards him. Seeing that he was anxious, he raised his hands to silence the ministers, "Young ministers, there is no need to say more. Lu Aiqing has indeed helped me solve my worries and problems over the years, and I remember all of this. But I have already rewarded his contribution."
Have you rewarded it? when?
The joint ministers thought it was just an ordinary reward and wanted to work together to send Lu Desheng up. But what Emperor Kang Cheng said next left them stunned.
"I rewarded you with a gold medal to avoid death."
The emperor's words were like thunder, resounding throughout the hall.
In the court, all the officials felt dizzy.
"Your Majesty, what did you say? Say it again. I seem to be hearing hallucinations..." A minister made a trembling request.
"You heard me right, I did reward Lu Aiqing with a gold medal to avoid death."
As soon as the emperor said this, almost all the civil and military officials in the court turned their attention to Lu Desheng.
A gold medal to avoid death, something that hasn’t appeared in many years! Did the emperor just give Lu Desheng this thing? ! How can he be so virtuous? How can you be so virtuous! Worthy of a death-free gold medal? !
Suddenly, many old ministers looked at Lu Desheng angrily. This treacherous minister did not know how to confuse the emperor, so that the emperor rewarded him with a gold medal to avoid death!
At this time, Lu Desheng's entire body was exposed to the glare of everyone's swords and shadows: As expected, his daughter was right, the emperor is cheating people. But when he thought about the death-free gold medal he had already obtained, he felt that he could do it again, and then he straightened his back abruptly. These people are jealous! Jealousy changes them beyond recognition! All of them are so ugly!
All civil and military officials felt sour in their hearts. The emperor was so biased. How could he, Lu Desheng, be so virtuous?
Especially for some veterans, their heart, liver, lungs and kidneys hurt from holding their breath! Your Majesty, are you lame? Can't see Wei Chen and others? Just saw Lu Desheng?
But the emperor has already given it and it is impossible to take it back. If it hadn't been given yet, they could still object and stop the emperor. Now I can only say one thing, Your Majesty, you are confused. Many veterans beat their chests and stamped their feet, roaring in their hearts.
Xie Mingtang, who took the lead in jointly recommending Lu Desheng for promotion, was shocked to learn this shocking news.
The rest of the people who agreed took a break.
At this moment, Xie Mingtang was in a state of confusion and did not make any further instructions. Those officials who agreed were like headless flies and did not dare to speak out.
Civil and military officials: Xie Mingtang should just be quiet. If he dares to take the lead again, they will poke him. Lu Desheng wants to get a gold medal for immunity from death and be promoted and make a fortune. He is so beautiful!
But these people were quiet, and Lu Desheng felt that he couldn't be quiet. The emperor is probably upset at this meeting. He has to say something to save the emperor!
Where did you just say that? Xie Mingtang gave up the position of Minister of Dali Temple, which was firmly controlled by his Xie faction, and then took the lead in recommending him to the position.
He couldn't accept this cake, nor could he give it to the Qin family. Lu Desheng's eyes fell on Yao Songwen who was diagonally in front of him. The Yao family had always been at odds with the Xie family. The so-called enemy of the enemy was a friend!
In addition, Yao Song heard that this person was a new generation of the Yao family, with good qualifications and good abilities. It was because the Yao family lost to the Xie family a few years ago and lost many seats in the court. As a result, he could not find anyone who was neither high nor low. It is also sad to put him in the right place.
The seats in this court are all at a loss, especially the important seats. Even if the Yao system wants to grab it, they have to wait for an opportunity and wait for their opponent to have a loophole. Well, it’s him!
After selecting the candidate, Lu Desheng estimated that the matter should be 80% certain to be successful. He had long known that the emperor was dissatisfied with the Xie faction's stubborn control of Dali Temple, especially the current Dali minister Ji Yongqing, who had been there for too many years. He had long wanted to remove Ji Yongqing from his position as minister of Dali Temple. . But when he is touched, trouble always occurs in Dali Temple, arousing public resentment and anger. No matter who tries to deal with it, it cannot be solved. Only people recommended by the Xie family can make Dali Temple stable.
It can be seen that not everyone can sit in the position of Minister of Dali Temple and sit firmly, at least, not him. If he really agreed to Xie Mingtang's request, not to mention that they still had "Fan Quan" as a backup plan. Even if they didn't, he wouldn't be qualified for the position of Minister of Dali Temple.
Nonsense, once you sit down, there will be a bunch of people below trying to stumbling you, who can sit still?
This position will be different if it is given to Yao Songwen. The Yao family will definitely make great efforts to help him sit firmly. The Xie family couldn't even think of driving him down easily.
Thinking of this, Lu Desheng sneered. Do the Xie family want to use the position of Minister of Dali Temple to fish, sneak around, and after dealing with him, the official position of Minister of Dali Temple will return to their hands?
Then he has to teach them what it means to beat a dog with a meat bun! Or if you steal a chicken but lose a lot of rice, if you lose your wife and lose the army, you can call it whatever you want, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the meaning is that since they threw this cake out, they can’t even think of picking it back up!
So in the main hall where the needle drop could be heard, Lu Desheng came out and said, "Your Majesty has already rewarded me, and I thank you for your kindness! I am not greedy, and I know that I have little talent and little knowledge, and I am not qualified to be the minister of Dali Temple, but I I feel that Yao Song, the Minister of Secretariat, heard that Mr. Yao is very good and that with his ability, he is qualified for the position of Minister of Dali Temple."
Pie from heaven!
As soon as Lu Desheng's words came out, Yao Song was stunned.
Xie Mingtang was also confused, but he reacted quickly, "Your Majesty—" He had already realized that the situation was critical, and he was very anxious.
However, officials from the Yao faction were not slow to respond. Someone immediately came out to interrupt what he was saying and echoed Lu Desheng's words.
"Your Majesty, the ministers agree with Lu Yushi's suggestion."
"Your Majesty, I second the proposal!"
…
People from the Yao faction quickly lick the cake! Damn it, a big piece of ownerless pie, whoever licks it now belongs to him! Rush.
Yao Songwen also reacted quickly. Since the cakes were all in front of him, he would be disrespectful.
He quickly stood up to show his loyalty, "Your Majesty, although I am not talented, I hope to try my best."
Just such a short sentence, no long speech, no excessive modesty, eliminating any accidents caused by being caught in the conversation.
Lu Desheng nodded in his heart, Yao Song was not stupid.
Didn’t you see Xie Mingtang standing around anxiously? If there is any flaw in his words, he will be beaten with a stick.
"Okay, I agree. From now on, you, Yao Songwen, will be the new Minister of Dali Temple." Emperor Kang Cheng also knew that the nights were long and the dreams were many. The official position of Dali Temple Minister is vacant. Maybe the Xie family will turn around and take it back. Now put Yao Songwen up first and see if he can sit firmly. This court is all about balance.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I will do my best and die to live up to the Emperor's kindness!" Yao Songwen knocked his head, and the matter became a foregone conclusion.
Xie Mingtang's eyes darkened. They had suffered a huge loss! People didn't plan it, but they lost such an important position as Minister of Dali Temple. But the emperor did not leave, and he did not dare to faint.
After dealing with this, Emperor Kang Cheng felt tired. He glanced in the direction of Wei Zili. Wei Zili immediately understood and stepped forward and shouted to withdraw from the court.
As soon as Emperor Kang Cheng left, Xie Mingtang's body shook involuntarily, and he was supported by the official next to him, "Master Xie, are you okay?"
Zhao Wenkuan's face looked ugly, but he couldn't step forward.
Xie Mingtang shook his head and tried to stand firm. He glanced at Lu Desheng one last time and said, "Let's go."
After successfully resigning, Ji Yongqing took advantage of his poor health to rest in the side hall. When he learned that the newly appointed minister of Dali Temple was Yao Songwen and not Lu Desheng, he was staggered. He only had one thought at this time, and that was: he is out of luck. ! Can he still get his position as Minister of Dali Temple back?
The happiest person at this time is Yao Songwen. The faction he belongs to is also in a state of excitement. It's really a fight between the snipe and the clam, and the fisherman will benefit! With Lu Desheng's best assist, the Yao family may become the biggest winner, commonly known as the strongest pick-up king today!
In the early morning of this day, Emperor Kangcheng was very satisfied with the resolution of a long-standing illness.
Yao Songwen licked a big pie, and the Yao officials were also very satisfied.
Lu Desheng fought back effectively and weakened the enemy, and he was very satisfied.
