Chapter 71 Entering the court

Chapter 71

As soon as Emperor Kangcheng left, Lv Desheng wanted to sneak away and hide his merits and fame.

However, just as he was about to leave, Yao Songwen quickly grabbed him, "Songwen, thank you Brother Lu for your righteous words just now."

Lv Desheng quickly pulled his hand away, "Just talk, don't touch me!"

Many officials from the Yao faction gathered around him.

"Brother Songwen, congratulations."

"Lord Yao, great joy."

...

This surrounded Lv Desheng in the middle.

So much so that when the ministers walked out, they would pass by Lv Desheng.

When these ministers passed by Lv Desheng one by one, they couldn't help but look at his old face to see if he had grown some kind of supernatural power to coax Emperor Kangcheng to treat him so sincerely.

Especially Zhou Chengzhong, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, as both of them were censors in the Censorate, what was the difference between him and him?

What kind of look were they giving? There were no flowers on his face. Lv Desheng felt cold.

At this time, the people who came around congratulated Yao Songwen and invited Lv Desheng.

"Lord Lv, there is a very good barbecue at the end of Zhuque Street. Let's go and try it together?"

"Lord Lv, my son has always admired your talent. How about we go for a drink together tonight?"

"Okay, okay, stop surrounding me. You should surround him!" Lv Desheng was impatient. He pointed at Yao Songwen and said, "Make way. I want to go home for dinner!"

Don't think he can't see what they are thinking. Don't they just want him to get more benefits for the Yao faction? Don't think he will agree!

It was only when Yao Songwen saw that he didn't want to pay attention to them at all that he said, "Okay, okay, let's all make way for Lord Lv."

Then, Lv Desheng left without looking back, without any reluctance.

His steps showed the momentum of not recognizing any relatives.

Yao Songwen and others watched him leave with a smile, but they thought in their hearts that this big troll Lu is really hard to approach.

This scene was still reported to Emperor Kang Cheng by the palace servants. After listening to it, Emperor Kang Cheng nodded, well, his beloved Lu is still very sensible.

They looked at Lu Desheng with very friendly eyes. Although this big troll Lu often trolled people when he disagreed, he was sometimes really good at getting along.

Xie Mingtang couldn't care about the excitement behind him. He just wanted to go home quickly at this moment. Then, he was stopped at a corner on the way back to Xie Mansion from the palace gate.

Seeing the person who stopped him, Xie Mingtang was also a headache. He hurriedly said, "Brother Ji, I have asked someone to call A Zhan. Don't worry, our Xie family will definitely handle this matter well and give you an explanation."

Hearing this, Ji Yongqing, who had been tense, relaxed a little. Yes, there is also the eldest son! "Then Lord Xie, please go back quickly. I won't delay you." As he said, he made way.

Zhongshu Province Office

Xie Zhan is now working in Zhongshu Province, but he is only a secretary, and he is not qualified to attend court.

As soon as he started his shift, before he left the office, a colleague came to inform him, "Sir Xie, you haven't left yet? Your servant is waiting for you outside the office. It seems that there is something urgent. You should go out quickly."

Hearing this, Xie Zhan nodded, thanked his colleague, and said goodbye to his superior, "Sir Wang, there may be an emergency at home, so I will leave first."

His superior waved his hand, "Go, go."

Before leaving the office, Xie Zhan was still very calm, but when he saw the anxious look on the servant's face, his heart sank for no reason.

The servant saw him and wanted to speak, but was stopped by his eyes.

After he got on the carriage, he was summoned in for questioning.

Hearing the servant's report, Xie Zhan almost stood up, "Failed? Impossible!"

He had been thinking about this plan against Lu Desheng for nearly a year, and he had considered all aspects. Before it was implemented, no one would think it would fail! It was not easy to recommend Lu Desheng for promotion, not to be demoted. How could this fail? What does his father do for a living?

The servant didn't know the details, and Xie Zhan didn't ask him again, but urged the carriage to go faster.

Back to the Xie Mansion, he went straight to his father's study in the main courtyard. At this time, his father was waiting for him in the study.

As soon as Xie Mingtang saw Xie Zhan, he said, "Ah Zhan, our joint recommendation of Lu Desheng failed. I don't know when the emperor gave the Lu family a gold medal of immunity from death! The emperor and Lu Desheng refused the promotion together."

"Dad, tell me about the morning court in detail." Xie Zhan was still calm.

Seeing him like this, Xie Mingtang also calmed down and began to tell about the morning court.

Xie Zhan didn't expect such a change! Was his former father-in-law such a sober person? Did he have such awareness? He didn't think so. Excluding this point, Xie Zhan soon realized that there was a master around Lu Desheng, who not only pointed out Lu Desheng's own weaknesses. And he blocked this weakness before them or eliminated the possibility of this weakness being exploited.

This is equivalent to anticipating his plan in advance and taking targeted precautions! What a powerful person! Who could this person be? Could it be the Qin family? Qin Heng? No, the time doesn't match. This person should have come to Lu Desheng before he got the death-free gold medal. At that time, the relationship between the Qin family and the Lu family should not be too close. Besides, the Qin family needs a death-free gold medal more than the Lu family. If they have the ability to get it, why don't they get it themselves, but help the Lu family?

Soon, Xie Zhan ruled out the Qin family.

Xie Zhan didn't think about Lu Songli. Lu Songli had performed amazingly well in the matter of Zhao Bin before. He didn't think she could do what that expert did.

Xie Mingtang was a little depressed. He was ready to do something big, but he didn't expect to fail.

The biggest blow to him was that Lu Desheng was actually granted a gold medal of immunity from death! It's great that such a big news was kept secret by his Lu family!

If it was said that Lu Songli's decisiveness and ruthlessness had changed his view of the Lu family before, and even gave him some regrets. Then this time, he really regretted it and felt heartbroken. Lu Desheng, you should have told me earlier that you had a gold medal of immunity from death! Their two families didn't have to go to the point of breaking off the engagement and getting married separately! Then the Qin family got a big bargain for nothing!

"Dad, don't regret it." Xie Zhan analyzed, "Lu Desheng may not have received the gold medal of immunity from death in the past, but should have received it recently."

Hmm? After hearing what his eldest son said, Xie Mingtang's regret was reduced a little, but he still regretted it. If their Xie family had not intended to cancel the engagement, then they and the Lu family would still be in-laws now, and with some tricks, they could share this death-free gold medal.

Xie Zhan just figured out the trick. That night in Weiyang Palace, the Queen Mother left in a hurry. I'm afraid that was when Lu Desheng just got the death-free gold medal. No wonder the Queen Mother was so out of control. He explained his guess to his father.

Upon hearing this, Xie Mingtang felt even worse. In this way, wasn't it their Xie family and the Zhao family that helped Lu Desheng?

Compared with the death-free gold medal, Xie Zhan paid more attention to the master standing behind the Lu family. The other party's ability to take one step and look three steps ahead made him very afraid. After all, things are dead, people are alive. With that master, it is not difficult for the Lu family to get whatever they want.

Do you say Xie Zhan doesn't regret it? Regretful, but his father is already like this, if he shows regretful emotions, it will only make things worse for his father.

"Do you want to continue with the plan later?" Xie Mingtang asked, is there any need to continue?

Xie Zhan nodded and said coldly, "Go on."

"Okay, A Zhan, we still have a chance, right?" Praise and kill, praise is just a means, the subsequent killing is the key, Lu Desheng avoided praise, so what, as long as he can't avoid the killing move, he will be eliminated by them.

Xie Zhan said nothing, there is a chance, but the chance of winning is weak. Did his father forget that Lu Desheng was granted a gold medal for exemption from death, which shows how much Emperor Kang Cheng trusted him.

The reason why he wanted to continue the plan was just because the stage was set up and the play was halfway through, how could it stop abruptly? And Fan Quan was just a small chess piece, throwing it out could also verify whether his guess was true. If everything goes well, it would just be a good opportunity to arrange Fan Quan to be with the emperor.

"Ah Zhan——"

Hearing the call, Xie Zhan, who was thinking about the problem, looked up at his father, but when he saw his father's flickering look, his heart sank, "Dad, is there anything else?"

"That, A Zhan, our family lost the position of Dali Temple, not the position of Dali Temple Junior." Xie Mingtang said with a little guilt.

Xie Zhan's forehead suddenly hurt, his father! He had said long before that he could lure him with the position of Dali Temple Junior! The position of Dali Temple Junior of the fourth rank is just right. If the plan does not go smoothly, the Xie family can still afford to lose a Dali Temple Junior.

He was so arrogant that he used the third rank Dali Temple as bait! Now, the position of Dali Temple Junior, which has always been controlled by the Xie family, is lost!

The Yao family is not easy to deal with! Xie Zhan felt tired for the first time. At this time, Xie Zhan finally realized that a family cannot have two voices!

And there was one thing he didn't say just now, his father's ability to react on the spot was too poor, and he was caught by Lu Desheng and the Yao family. His father did this too roughly! Looking at the overall situation, once he found that things were not going well, he should have stopped the loss in time. His father should have recommended their Xie family officials to the emperor to take the position of Dali Temple!

Xie Zhan began to consider entering the court as soon as possible. He originally wanted to spend a few years in the Secretariat, planning and operating well, and opening up another way for the Xie family. Now, I'm afraid it won't work.
