In Fan Quan's case, it seemed that Lu Desheng had won a great victory, but in fact it was brewing a crisis. Yan Hua was right in scolding him. Lu Desheng was indeed suppressing newcomers and excluding dissidents, and was acting arrogantly.
In addition, Fan Quan is from Bailu Academy and is still a first-level student. Lu Desheng's blocking of people's future is tantamount to killing their parents, and his behavior is bound to arouse the resentment of many students from the academy.
If something happens to Lu Desheng in the future, the world will discuss it, and this behavior will become one of Lu Desheng's crimes.
This is the reason why he still pushed forward the second step of the plan after the failure of the first step of "praising". No matter what the outcome is for Fan Quan, it can be used by the Xie family.
It can be said that Lu Desheng is currently heading towards the abyss step by step. I wonder how Lu Songli broke this situation?
Xie Zhan was right. Of course she also saw the dangers at her father's feet.
There is a saying that learning literary and martial arts will bring wealth to the emperor's family. The stage set up by Hongsheng Restaurant and the debate competition organized by Zhang Yong are a good way for scholars to become famous and then take advantage of the opportunity to become officials.
Her father blocked Fan Quan's path to becoming an official. As a result, in this event held by the great scholar and attended by the emperor, no scholar came forward and successfully entered the official position. This has brought about a very bad influence, offending scholars all over the world.
Although her father did not intend it, the bad impact it caused is also true. The passage across classes is blocked, which touches the disfavor of scholars all over the world. Fortunately, although this debate competition was held for a short time, its current impact is only in Chang'an City and surrounding cities and counties. Otherwise, when word spreads about this matter, her father will probably be criticized by scholars all over the world.
In fact, this can be easily solved, as long as two or three outstanding scholars are selected from among the scholars participating in the arena competition and awarded official positions. It can be shown that her father is only targeting Fan Quan alone and does not want to attack a large group.
However, the emperor may not necessarily listen to her father. He condones some of her father's petty thoughts, but this indulgence has a limit. He will never allow her father to stretch his hand so long.
There are also all the ministers present. Although they can't do anything against her father, that is because her father is always on the offensive side, and the defense is not bad. Plus, the emperor is protecting him.
It won't work if her father is allowed to take care of people. For example, if one or two scholars are recommended as officials, they will definitely mess up the matter.
So she could only find another way to eliminate the negative impact this incident had on her father.
She has already started to solve this matter, and if nothing unexpected happens, she will see the results in a few days. She will definitely not let anything happen to her father. But there is no need to let Xie Zhan know about this.
Xie Zhan's probing eyes stayed on Lu Songli. Unfortunately, he could not tell Lu Songli's true and false intentions, but his intuition suggested that she would not be helpless.
So, he made a decision, "Lu Songli, let's have a truce?"
Oh, it's really rare to finally hear my serious name in his mouth, instead of Ah Li. Is this respect? It seemed that she used her strength to make him finally listen to her words.
She found that Xie Zhan was looking at her intently, waiting persistently for her answer.
Lu Songli said, "We, the Lu family and the Qin family, will not take the initiative to cause trouble."
But if trouble comes, I won't be afraid of it. Lu Songli didn't say this. But Xie Zhan is a smart man, so he naturally heard her unfinished words.
Xie Zhan's dark eyes looked directly at her deeply, Qin family? Did she let the Qin family fall under her wing?
Qin Sheng, who came from the corner, paused.
"Okay, I understand, I will restrain them. Shall we formally call a truce?" A faint smile appeared on Xie Zhan's lips.
Lu Songli thought for a while and agreed readily, "Okay, let's call it a truce from now on." Anyway, she had dug all the holes that needed to be dug, and then she would just wait for others to help her fill them in, so there was no need to do it herself. , then she doesn’t break the agreement. Well, in fact, this agreement can only bind the gentleman, but it cannot restrain her. She believed that the same was true for Xie Zhan. But she would believe whatever he said. Anyway, they were chatting and laughing on stage, and they didn't delay the fight off stage at all.
After saying that, Lu Songli no longer looked at him, but turned sideways and looked behind him, the frost between her brows and eyes dissipated.
Xie Zhan also turned sideways and looked along her line of sight, just in time to see Qin Sheng walking towards them. The young man was thin but tall, with a pair of long legs and strode towards them from the backlight. In the shadow, his face looked like It is as if it has been carved with a magical axe, making it more clear-cut.
Then he turned around and saw the undisguised admiration for beauty in Lu Songli's eyes, and his eyes were filled with confusion. Had she looked at him like this before? After thinking about it for a while, I realized that my impression was very vague.
Xie Zhan finally said goodbye to Lu Songli, "This matter is settled, shall I leave first?"
Lu Songli ignored him.
Xie Zhan turned around and left, with his back to Lu Songli, and then he met Qin Sheng face to face. Their eyes met, as if sparks were flying.
When they passed by each other, Qin Sheng and Xie Zhan refused to give way to each other, and then their shoulders and arms bumped into each other. Xie Zhan was driven back two steps by his force before he stopped his retreat.
Qin Sheng's body didn't move at all. He glanced at the other party, and a flash of amusement flashed in his eyes. Humph, the bottom plate is unstable, you weakling!
Seeing such a childish side of him, Lu Songli's eyebrows were filled with smiles.
"Why didn't you go back to the box?" Qin Sheng's position was very deliberate. Where he stood was between Xie Zhan and Lu Songli. His figure, which was a head taller than her, was just in front of Lu. Songli completely blocked it so that Xie Zhan couldn't see half of her hair.
"Waiting for Mingzhi."
"I'll wait with you."
"OK."
Xie Zhan's eyes turned cold. He flicked his sleeves and took one last look at them before leaving.
Nice to get to know you again, Lu Songli.
His father had been impatient before and wanted to eliminate Lu Desheng in one fell swoop. In the final analysis, he looked down upon the Lu family too much and did not take the other party seriously.
But he doesn't know how. In fact, the Lu family and the Xie family and the Zhao family are not on the same level of rivals. The Xie family is very powerful. The Lu family has a shallow foundation, so every time they take action, they always use small means to make a big move. The Lu family can afford to lose even more than the Xie family. If the Lu family loses once, it will be a disaster. As long as the Xie family fights steadily, the Xie family is more likely to win in the end than the Lu family.
As soon as Xie Zhan left, Lu Mingzhi came back, "Second sister——"
Lu Songli saw his empty hands and nodded, "Have you given away the things?"
"Of course, it's not difficult."
The three of them returned to the Qin family's box together. Qin Heng and Qin Sanlang had been accompanying Jiang.
Seeing that Lu Songli and the others had returned, they sat for a while. During this period, Lu Songli asked Lu Mingzhi to tell him what had just happened, so that the three brothers of the Qin family could know what happened.
Her performance made Qin Heng secretly nod.
Qin Sanlang thought to himself, he is really on the right track, he is worthy of being a little fox.
Qin Sheng sat next to Lu Songli, pricking up his ears and listening very carefully. He was particularly good at catching certain names and fragments.
It took Lu Mingzhi a quarter of an hour to finish explaining the matter. After he finished speaking, everyone was ready to leave. After all, they had been out for a long time and planned to go back.
"Auntie, if you have time, you can bring your six younger siblings and Mingzhi to our home as guests. The Qin family welcomes you at any time." Qin Heng said before leaving.
Mr. Jiang nodded, "I'll do it when I have time."
"A Sheng, send Auntie and the others off." Qin Heng told his younger brother.
His eldest brother was really kind to Xiao Liu, and used every opportunity to create opportunities for him to get along with his future sixth siblings. Qin Sanlang patted his younger brother on the shoulder, saying nothing.
