I became the cannon fodder who died early, and I angrily married the villain

Chapter 69: Reward is a must



"Ji Aiqing, you are the backbone of the court, how can I do without you?" Emperor Kang Cheng said to retain him and rejected his resignation.

Your Majesty, if you continue to call Ji Yongqing Ji's name 'Aiqing' instead of 'Ji Aiqing', then your words can be trusted.

"Your Majesty, my body is really weak." Ji Yongqing refused again.

Emperor Kang Cheng refused again, "Ji Aiqing, don't worry. After the court session, I will ask the imperial physician to go to Ji's house to treat you. You can do your work with peace of mind."

The monarch and his minister played a three-time refusal drama.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to do it. I am really in bad shape." Ji Yongqing kowtowed for the last time.

Emperor Kang Cheng answered quickly this time, "Ji Aiqing insists on doing so, then I will allow you to do it."

In this way, the position of Dali Temple was vacant, and for a while, the ministers were worried.

At this time, Xie Mingtang stepped out, "Your Majesty, I recommend Lü Desheng, the Censor, to be promoted to the position of Dali Temple."

Emperor Kang Cheng was stunned. He didn't expect that things would develop like this? He was just wondering what the Xie family wanted to do by giving up the position of Dali Temple that they had firmly held? He also thought that since they had given it up, who should be allowed to sit next?

"Why do you say that, my dear?" Emperor Kang Cheng, who was at the top, narrowed his old eyes and stared at His Highness Xie Mingtang. What did the Xie family want to do?

In the past few days, Lü Aiqing entered the palace to accompany the emperor and told him about his daughter's lesson to Zhao Bin. He talked about Zhao Bin's ambush and calculation, and also about her little daughter's counterattack and revenge.

It's just that the counterattack was a bit strong, which was what Lü Aiqing said at the time.

He saw that Lü Desheng's face was not right and his attitude was also hesitant, so he asked a question, and then he knew the specific counterattack of his little daughter.

After listening to it at that time, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

Lu Aiqing immediately apologized for his daughter's crime. What could he do? Of course, he forgave him. Emperor Kang Cheng liked the feeling that Lu Desheng didn't hide anything from him. Such Lu Desheng made him feel sincere and close.

But what is Xie Mingtang doing now? Lu Er beat Zhao Si. The Zhao family and the Xie family are relatives. The Xie family didn't help the Zhao family get back their face, but they wanted to give Lu Desheng a promotion?

Xie Mingtang held the tablet in both hands, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "Lord Lu has the ability to recognize people, and his eyes are sharp and he can see the slightest detail. He has already discovered the ministers with problems in the court before I and others have discovered them, and he has impeached them. Isn't this a kind of ability? Therefore, I think Lord Lu is suitable for the position of the Dali Temple."

The ministers looked at him with complicated expressions and said he was talking nonsense seriously! I think you are also very capable, the ability to reverse black and white!

At this time, Lu Desheng was also shocked.

Dali Temple, the third rank, in charge of judicial and prison matters.

In order to deal with him, the Xie family and the Zhao family were willing to throw out such a big piece of cake? They thought he would be unable to resist and rush to the top after hearing that he jumped from the fifth rank to the third rank?

But they underestimated him too much, thinking that he would get excited if he was given the position of Dali Temple? Dali Temple? Whoever wants it can take it, damn it, they want to tire him to death!

As soon as Xie Mingtang expressed his gratitude, officials on both sides echoed him.

"Your Majesty, I second the motion."

"I second the motion."

...

Lv Desheng glared at them, all right, you guys, are you teaming up to deal with me? I'll remember you one by one! Wait for me! Don't even think about running away! Lv Desheng's eyes fell on the faces of the people who had just recommended him.

Some of the ministers who were stared at by him were puzzled, and some asked him that they were worried, mainly because Lu Desheng's fighting power was too strong. They were no match for him alone. I hope that the Xie family will work harder this time and get rid of him. Otherwise, it feels too bad.

Prince Gong stood beside him and couldn't help but whispered to him, "Lu Yushi, don't be like this, they are also kind."

Lu Desheng rolled his eyes, "Do you really think I'm stupid and can't tell good from bad?"

Prince Gong was stunned. Recommending him for promotion, isn't it good?

"You, you don't know anything." Lu Desheng kindly advised him, "Hurry up and find a place to stand, talk less, you can't control this situation."

Listen to people's advice and eat a full meal. Prince Gong is a good man, not very courageous. After hearing what Lu Desheng said, he also felt that something was wrong in the court, and immediately found a place where others could not notice him.

Most of the other irrelevant ministers thought that the Xie family was very generous. They made up a reason for Xie Mingtang to do so. The position of Dali Temple Minister was the compensation given by the Xie family to the Lu family. The engagement between the two families could not continue, but it was a fact that Lu Songli had saved Xie Zhan. The Xie family compensated the Lu family with a Dali Temple Minister, which made sense.

They would think so, everything was because the Xie and Lu families returned the Geng Tie in exchange for the engagement token, and the Xie family gave the Lu family a large amount of compensation. The two families did not cover it up, but they did not publicize it. Lu Desheng and his wife did not want to mention it, and the Xie family was a little self-reliant and did not take the initiative to publicize it, but they would also say it when others asked. The other two witnesses were not talkative people. So not many people knew that the Xie family gave compensation.

This was a misunderstanding caused by information asymmetry.

These ministers who were not well-informed or did not understand the reason could not help but sigh at the generosity of the Xie family, and then looked at Zhao Wenkuan, your prospective in-laws were so good to your former in-laws, what do you think?

Zhao Wenkuan had a blank expression on his face, and people could not see any clues. But he was like this, it was easy for people to imagine that he was unhappy. Such a reaction was normal. If they were Zhao Wenkuan, they would not be happy either.

These ministers were not shrewd enough. Some of the shrewd ones had already discovered the clues.

Emperor Kang Cheng saw so many ministers who followed Xie Mingtang and asked Lu Desheng, "Lu Aiqing, what do you say?"

Lu Desheng hurriedly expressed his loyalty, "Your Majesty, I refuse! I dare not dream, and I can't do it well. I know that I am not talented and have little knowledge, and my character is shallow. It is a great blessing and grace from heaven to be a fifth-rank censor. I am actually incapable of doing anything, and I really can't and am incapable of being the Minister of the Dali Temple."

A flatterer!

Xie Mingtang immediately said, "Your Majesty, Lu Yushi has been in the position of the fifth-rank censor for too long. He has worked hard over the years, and your Majesty cannot fail to reward him."

When he said this, Xie Mingtang was actually tired. He didn't expect to promote him, but he was not dragged to behead him. Is it necessary to refuse like this? If only a few people knew about their plan, and he dared to guarantee that they would never leak the secret, he would suspect that Lu Desheng knew about their plan in advance!

"Yes, your Majesty, you can't let the meritorious officials feel disappointed."

"Lord Lu has done a lot for your Majesty over the years."
