Chapter 223: Fighting in the Air

Zuo Anmin was holding his breath, thinking that this boy was not worth conspiring with!

Zhang Xian hurriedly said, "The emperor is wise and decisive."

Zuo Anmin glanced at him and hated him. Zhang Xian was too difficult to deal with!

The man in the south was already very powerful. He aroused the new emperor's fear of the Qin family with just a few words, but unfortunately all his suspicions were eliminated by Zhang Xian one by one.

Zuo Anmin didn't know that Lu Songli and Xie Zhan had fought again in the air, and this result was within her expectations.

Lu Songli wrote that letter to take precautions, but she didn't expect it to come in handy.

First of all, in Lu Songli's speculation, there was no resistance to her father's exile.

First of all, her father had been making a fuss about being exiled, and the adults in Chang'an City should have been eager for her father to leave Chang'an City as soon as possible. The new emperor would probably go with the flow, and there was no reason for him to hold her father.

If the exile was not going well, it must be someone who was obstructing it.

Under the general trend that all officials in Chang'an wanted to send her father away, if there was anyone who didn't want her father to leave, it must be Xie Zhan. He must have noticed the dirty tricks he had done. If he didn't guess, he would not be Xie Zhan.

And if Xie Zhan wanted to change the new emperor's decision, he must give a reason, and this reason had better hit the taboo in the new emperor's heart.

The most taboo for an emperor is that the imperial power is threatened and divided.

This reason couldn't be better, because the identity of the Qin family's military generals has always been suspected by the emperor.

But this reason is not so sufficient. There must be other things added to give this reason some support.

It just so happens that all the people of the Qin family are here, and they can't be expanded. Xie Zhan must want to destroy her in his dreams now? In addition, this matter involves her father, so it is normal to drag her into it.

The new emperor is a thoughtful and suspicious person. Under normal circumstances, he would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go.

But the new emperor just let the Qin family go. This result was due to Zhang Xian's mediation and Lu Songli's accurate grasp of the new emperor's mind. Many reasons were mixed together by her.

First, the northern border was unstable. This news was inferred from the two pigeons shot by Qin Sheng on the way to exile.

Secondly, Zhang Xian brought up the grievances that the Qin family had suffered for generations, which inevitably involved the previous emperors of the Song family.

Song Mo himself did not get the position legitimately, so he would inevitably compare himself with them. That's what I said. The Qin family has suffered a lot of grievances in the past generations, but they didn't say anything. It doesn't make sense. They rebelled in his dynasty, right? He certainly doesn't want to admit that he is not as good as his ancestors.

Lu Songli grasped the subtle psychology of the new emperor.

In addition, at this time, Lu Songli learned that Zhang Xian was reused, and his own royalist forces and the court structure formed a three-legged tripod, which all showed that our new emperor had initially mastered the way of balance. At this time, all the honest advice is unpleasant to the ear, and all the good medicine is bitter. They are all doubts about him and his control.

The most important thing is that the Qin family is too weak now, just like an ant that is beaten and crawling on the ground. You tell him that one day he can turn into a dragon? How can the new emperor who is full of ambition believe it?

In addition, Zuo Anmin has a rift with her father, so it is hard not to let the emperor suspect that he is looking for reasons to exclude dissidents.

Adding all these factors together, the new emperor will not touch the Qin family, but will definitely increase his attention to Pingzhou, and may even arrange secret guards to monitor the Qin family.

"Zhang Aiqing, Zuo Aiqing, in your opinion, what position should be given to this Lv Desheng when he is sent out?" The new emperor asked, and there seemed to be deep meaning in his eyes.

Hearing this question, Zhang Xian quickly calmed down, "As long as I can be sent out, I don't think Lord Lu will mind any official position."

"Your Majesty, this depends on whether there are vacancies in the place where I am sent out. County magistrate, county lieutenant, doctor, whatever is fine. Anyway, it is what Lu Desheng said, as long as I can be sent out, I don't care about the official position."

The new emperor did not speak, frowning and thinking.

Zhang Xian glanced at Zuo Anmin, it was too much.

He was a censor doctor with 800 stones before, and he was sent out from Chang'an. Given Lord Lu's current situation, he would be willing to be demoted one or two levels.

So after being sent out, he can be a county chief with 600 stones, a state governor, a county governor, a county magistrate with 10,000 households, or at least a county magistrate with 500 stones.

But what's the difference between giving you a doctor or county lieutenant, Zuo Anmin, and giving you a job like that? You have a very bad conscience!

The new emperor thought about it and wrote down the words "Houcheng Wanhu County Magistrate" with his imperial pen.

"What do you two dear ministers think?" the new emperor asked, looking directly at the two of them.

When Zhang Xian saw the word Houcheng, his pupils shrank!

If there was no reminder from the letter, he would definitely ask the emperor to change Lord Lu to a place outside the capital, but with the reminder from the letter, he clenched his teeth.

Houcheng is a county in the northeast corner of Liaoxi County. It borders Xuantu County to the east and Xianbei to the north. It is a place where wars are frequent.

Speaking of which, Houcheng is indeed a county, but it is ravaged by Xianbei every year. The people of the entire county don't even have 5,000 households, let alone 10,000 households! It's just a title in name only.

Houcheng? Zuo Anmin raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Xian with a smile, "Your Majesty is wise!" This time it was Zuo Anmin's turn to say these words.

Zhang Xian thought, do you think you can win back a city? Wrong!

But facing the emperor's sharp eyes, he said calmly, "It's up to the emperor."

"Okay, you can leave now." The new emperor saw the reactions of the two people. He was satisfied with Zhang Xian. He stood on his side and took him as the main person.

After leaving the palace, Zhang Xian was in a trance. Before, he received a letter from Lv Songli. Surprised, he read the whole letter, but after reading it, he didn't think much of it. Unexpectedly, the person who wrote the letter predicted what would happen today.

It's really a matter of planning and winning thousands of miles away. Lord Lv gave birth to a very smart daughter! Envy.

For Lv Songli, it was not difficult to guess where her father was sent out. After all, her father had a gold medal of immunity from death. In addition, there was such a big commotion before he was sent out. Even if her father promised to return the gold medal of immunity from death after being sent out, if the new emperor didn't want to be criticized for it, then only her father would be gone.

In addition to Houcheng, she also listed several cities, all of which were border areas of Liaoxi, Liaodong, Xuantu and other counties.

It was too normal for a county magistrate serving in a border county to die in vain in a war.
