Besides, in front of the main hall, the ministers felt how they felt when they saw Zhang Xian being asked to leave by the chief eunuch.
It was clear that this person was going to be a popular person before the new emperor. They did not dare to offend him and planned to wait and see for a while to see if this person could stand up or end up with the same fate as the previous ministers. However, considering Lu Desheng's long-lasting ascendancy during Emperor Kang Cheng's lifetime, it is estimated that this Xian may not be defeated so easily.
Then, they all glared at Lu Desheng, damn Lu Desheng! Didn’t you say you won’t accept disciples and you won’t mentor others? Do you dare to say that this offering was not taught by you? Are you shameless?
Officials from Zuo Anmin's line were beating their chests and stamping their feet. Master Zuo, why are you out of town on business today? Do you know that your home was robbed on just one day? Damn it, Lu Desheng!
Lu Desheng was very happy to see Zhang Xian successfully ascending to the position. He thought to himself, had she received the letter he wrote to his precious daughter?
Prince Gong was still a good old man. He greeted Lu Desheng, "Master Lu, are you going home?"
"not going home."
Oh, the turtle with its head stretched out? Lu Desheng basically doesn't go to court now, and he stays at home all day long, making it difficult for others to date anyone.
"If you don't go home, where do you plan to go, Mr. Lu?"
"Go to Mingyue Restaurant."
Mingyue Restaurant, formerly known as Hongsheng Restaurant, became famous because of the original debate competition. Later, the Xie and Zhao families collapsed, and Hongsheng Restaurant also changed owners. The new owner thought that its original name was unlucky, so he changed it to Mingyue. Restaurant.
Lu Desheng really likes coming to this restaurant, just because his wife likes a few of his signature dishes very much.
One of his colleagues, Xu Yue, one of the censors, saw that he was so leisurely and couldn't help but said to him bitterly, "If you didn't have a good daughter, you would have been accompanied by the late emperor."
Lu Desheng glanced at him and said, "You are absolutely right. I have no skills. The only thing I can do is to give birth to a good daughter."
Xu Yue was choked by his words.
The other ministers glanced at Xu Yue in surprise, would they speak? Are you scolding him? You are praising him! There are two great pleasures in life, one is success and fame, and the other is having successors. They thought about the unfilial descendants in their family, and couldn't help but glare at him.
Xu Yue, who was glared at by all the adults, snorted to Lu Desheng, "No matter how powerful your daughter is, she is still exiled. Women are delicate and frail, so it is best not to die on the road to exile."
These words angered Lu Desheng. Originally, he was in a good mood today and was too lazy to deal with some stupid things. However, if the other party curses his daughter, it cannot be ignored.
Lu Desheng glanced at Xu Yue and recognized him. Shen Wan, the Minister of Gu Ming, had brought him before and wanted him to teach him, but he refused.
This man looks sour now. Is he probably not holding a grudge from before?
"Your name is Xu Yue? They said you are similar to me? Do you want me to teach you something?"
Xu Yue blushed.
"Bah, look at your skinny cheeks, sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, how do you look like me? You are an unlucky thing! Don't compare yourself to me in the future! Otherwise, I will scold you every time I see you!" Lu Desheng looked disgusted. It doesn’t look like it’s going to work.
All the ministers: Come, come, the long-lost venomous mouth has returned to the world again.
"You -" Xu Yue's face turned purple after being scolded. He looked at Lu Desheng and wanted to criticize his appearance, but found that the little old man was indeed more upright looking than him. If there was nothing wrong with his appearance, he attacked him. conduct!
"Lu Desheng, what's so great about you? After the death of the late emperor, you were just like a tortoise, not even daring to raise your head. What's the point of being proud of?" Old man, you still look down on him?
Lu Desheng gave him a 'What do you know? 'What's wrong with him?
"I'm just going to criticize you for your failure to become a disciple. Even if you learn it, you are still an ungrateful person who bullies his master and destroys his ancestors. Fortunately, I have sharp eyes and sharp eyes and rejected you. What the hell."
Xu Yue's face turned green and white after being scolded by him. His words were equivalent to confirming that the character problem was too serious. He looked at his colleagues around him, but they all avoided his gaze.
After Lu Desheng finished speaking, he looked around again. His colleagues looked away one by one. He even found someone snickering...
Lu Desheng groaned in his heart, don't think that because he doesn't go out during this period, he doesn't know what these people are thinking, and thinks that he, Lu Desheng, is a coward.
What's wrong with him listening to his daughter's instructions? Why did you listen to your wife? If they were right, he would listen.
In Lu Desheng's view, they were really pitiful. They spent their whole lives worrying about this and that, doing everything by themselves, and when they were old, they still had to worry about their unworthy descendants!
Thinking of this, he snorted, shook his sleeves, and strode away.
Jiangzhou
Xie and Zhao's family walked for nearly two months and finally entered the boundary of Jiangzhou. Beyond Jiangzhou is Lingnan.
On this day, Xie Zhan summoned the core members of the Xie and Zhao families and held a meeting. On the Xie family side, there are clan elders such as Xie Qian and Xie Yuan, as well as core members of the new generation such as Xie Nan and Xie Bai. The Zhao family is mainly dominated by Zhao Wenkuan and the three brothers Zhao Minglou.
At this moment, Mo Gang and Mo Asi came to Xie Zhan with a solemn expression, "No more people can die."
So far, before arriving in Lingnan, they have already lost eight people as escorts and guards. The loss is too great.
If someone dies for no reason, it will be hard for him to explain it when he returns.
Xie Zhan nodded, "I understand, sorry for bothering Brother Mo."
Mo Gang glanced at everyone present, then turned around and walked away.
After he returned to the escort team, he still looked in the direction of Xie Zhan and the others from time to time.
This scene was seen by another Oshi, named Xiao, who sneered and went to rest.
With the cooperation of Mo Gang, Xie Zhan found an opportunity to have a profound conversation with the surviving Xie clan members.
Xie Zhan looked at the numb and lifeless faces of the clan members, and said in a low voice, "Although I really don't want to admit it, as the head of the family, I have to say that from the 29th day of Tianxi to the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month to the next few years , is the darkest moment for our Xie family."
"From the beginning of the disaster, along the way, we have sacrificed too many people. Looking at the lives lost one by one, I feel deeply heartbroken and regretful. I feel sad for those old people and children, and I feel sorry for the young people of my Xie family. At the same time, I also hate My own incompetence.”
Xie Nan: "Master, I can't blame you for this. It's not your fault."
Xie Qian: "Yeah, it's all Lu Songli's fault, she's too cruel."
Xie Zhan shook his head, "It's all my fault. If only I hadn't gone into the water to save the wrong person, our Xie family wouldn't have suffered this disaster."
"How can I blame you?"
Xie Zhan's words aroused the emotions of the clan members. Yes, what's wrong with their family head? What's wrong with their Xie family? To suffer this? Lu Songli is too cruel.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's talk about the future." Xie Zhan said sincerely, "I believe that for our Xie family, the darkest moment will pass. I believe that our Xie family will not die just like this. Genocide! One day, we can defeat our opponents, and our Xie family can return to its former glory!"
Xie Zhan knew very well that the clansmen had just fallen from a high place. Talking to them about wealth, future, and status alone would not attract them or mobilize their enthusiasm.
Xie Zhan's guess was good. Many of them still feel that what they experienced is like a nightmare.
They just want everything to return to the way it was before, for the family to return to its original status, and for them to regain their previous lives. Only what Xie Zhan, the head of the family, said just now can deeply attract and impress them.
To achieve this goal, they are willing to work together with the family head.
"Yes, it can definitely be done!"
"However, this is not something I can do alone. It requires everyone to work hard together. Are you willing to work hard with me?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
"Okay! Next, let's work hard together. We may need to work hard for one year, two years, or even three, five, seven years! But I, Xie Zhan, will not give up!"
"Don't give up! Don't give up!"
"I can't guarantee that there will be no sacrifices in the process of hard work. For the sake of the family's revival, including myself, I can sacrifice if necessary."
"But I can guarantee that every sacrifice of our tribe will be remembered, and when the family becomes stronger again, there will be some rewards!" After saying that, Xie Zhan gave a deep salute to the tribesmen.
The Xie clan members were quiet and watched with red eyes as their young and promising head of the family saluted them. They all covered their mouths and did not dare to cry.
As for the sacrifice mentioned by the family leader, so many clan members died along the way, isn't it also a sacrifice? And the sacrifice is meaningless. They deeply realized that without the protection of their family, their people would really be like ants.
