Chapter 70 I have rewarded you
Chapter 70
Bitch, each of them wants to harm him! But Lu Desheng doesn't have time to argue with these people now. He is more concerned about the emperor's reaction. He is now afraid that the emperor will really promote him for his own good.
Emperor Kang Cheng pondered in silence, seeming to be wavering.
Seeing this, Lu Desheng blurted out in a panic, "Your Majesty, you promised me! Let me stay in the position of Censor!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Kang Cheng looked towards him. Seeing that he was getting anxious, he raised his hand and asked the ministers to be quiet. "No need to say more, my ministers. Lord Lu has indeed helped me solve problems over the years, and I remember all of this. But I have already rewarded him for his contributions."
Have you enjoyed it? When?
The ministers thought it was just an ordinary reward and wanted to work together to send Lü Desheng up. But Emperor Kang Cheng's next words left them dumbfounded.
"I have awarded you a golden medal of immunity from death."
The emperor's words were like a thunderclap, echoing throughout the hall.
In the court, all the ministers felt dizzy and dizzy.
"Your Majesty, what did you say? Say it again. I seem to be having auditory hallucinations..." A minister made a trembling request.
"You all heard correctly. I have indeed awarded Lord Lu a golden medal of immunity from death."
As soon as the emperor said this, the attention of almost all the civil and military officials in the court turned to Lu Desheng.
A golden medal of immunity from death! This thing hasn't appeared in ages! The Emperor gave this to Lu Desheng?! What merits did he have? What merits did he have! To deserve this golden medal of immunity from death?!
Suddenly, many old ministers glared at Lu Desheng. This treacherous and treacherous minister had no idea how he had deceived the emperor and made the emperor award him a golden medal of immunity from death!
At this moment, Lv Desheng was completely exposed amidst the clashing swords: "My daughter was right! The emperor is a traitor." But when he thought of the golden medal of immunity from death, he felt more prepared and forced himself to straighten his back. These people are just jealous! Jealousy has distorted their appearance! Every one of them is so ugly!
All the civil and military officials were jealous. The emperor was so biased. What qualifications did Lu Desheng have?
Especially some old ministers, holding their breath, their hearts, livers, lungs and kidneys are all aching! Your Majesty, are you blind? Can't you see me and others? Only see Lu Desheng?
But the Emperor had already granted it, and there was no way he could take it back. If it hadn't been granted yet, they could still object and stop the Emperor. Now they could only say, "Your Majesty, you are confused." Many old ministers beat their chests and stamped their feet, roaring in their hearts.
Upon hearing this devastating news, Xie Mingtang, who took the lead in jointly recommending Lu Desheng for promotion, was shocked.
The rest of those who agreed took a break.
At this moment, Xie Mingtang was very confused and did not give any further instructions. Those officials who agreed with him were like headless flies and did not dare to say a word.
Civil and military officials: Xie Mingtang just needs to be quiet. If he dares to lead the charge again, they will kill him. Lu Desheng wants to get a golden medal of immunity from death and get promoted and rich. He is so happy!
But these people were quiet, and Lu Desheng felt that he couldn't be quiet. The emperor must be upset at this moment, and he had to say something to help the emperor out!
What were we talking about just now? Xie Mingtang gave up the position of Dali Temple Minister, which was firmly held by his Xie faction, and then took the lead in recommending him to take the position.
He couldn't accept this pie, nor could he give it to the Qin family. Lu Desheng's eyes fell on Yao Songwen who was diagonally in front of him. The Yao family had always been at odds with the Xie family. The enemy of my enemy is my friend!
In addition, Yao Songwen knew that this person was a new generation of the Yao faction, with good qualifications and abilities. It was because the Yao faction was defeated by the Xie faction in the past few years and lost many positions in the court, which led to his current situation of being neither up nor down, and no suitable position could be found for him, which was also sad.
The positions in the imperial court are all filled to the hilt, and this is especially true for important positions. Even if the Yao clique wants to grab them, they have to wait for an opportunity, for their opponents to make a mistake. Well, this is it!
After selecting the candidate, Lü Desheng estimated that this matter had an 80% chance of success. He had long known that the emperor was dissatisfied with the Xie family's tight control over the Dali Temple, especially the current Dali Shiqing, Ji Yongqing, who had been in office for too many years. He had long wanted to remove Ji Yongqing from the position of Dali Temple Chief Justice. However, whenever he was involved, the Dali Temple was always in trouble, sparking public resentment and anger. No matter who was in charge, it was unresolved. He had to use someone recommended by the Xie family to ensure the stability of the Dali Temple.
This shows that not everyone can sit on the position of Dali Temple and hold it firmly. At least, he can't. If he really agreed to Xie Mingtang's words, let alone the backup plan of "Fan Quan", even without that, he would not be able to take on the position of Dali Temple.
Nonsense, once you sit on it, there will be a bunch of people below trying to trip you up, who can sit still?
It would be different if Yao Songwen was given this position. The Yao family would definitely make every effort to help him keep it. The Xie family would not be able to easily drive him down.
Thinking of this, Lu Desheng sneered. Was the Xie family trying to use the position of Dali Temple Chief Justice as a bait and switch, then let the position return to them after they'd dealt with him?
Then he had to teach them what it meant to throw a meat bun at a dog! Or to lose the rice while trying to steal a chicken, or to lose both the wife and the army. Call it what you want, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the point is, since they have thrown the cake out, don't even think about picking it up!
So, in this hall where you could hear a pin drop, Lü Desheng stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty has rewarded me. I thank you for your grace! I am not greedy, and I know that I am not talented enough to be the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. However, I think that the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, Yao Songwen, is very good. With his abilities, he is more than qualified for the position of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court."
Pie in the sky!
When Lu Desheng said this, Yao Songwen was stunned.
Xie Mingtang was also confused, but he reacted quickly, "Your Majesty..." He had realized that the situation was critical and he was very anxious.
But officials from the Yao faction reacted quickly, and someone immediately stepped forward to interrupt him before he finished speaking and echoed Lu Desheng's words.
"Your Majesty, I second Censor Lu's suggestion."
"Your Majesty, I second the motion!"
…
The Yao faction quickly licked the pie! Damn, a big pie without an owner, now whoever licks it gets it! Charge!
Yao Songwen also reacted quickly. Since the cake was right in front of him, he would not refuse it.
He quickly stepped forward to express his loyalty, "Your Majesty, although I am not talented, I am willing to give it my all."
Just such a short sentence, without any long-winded speech or excessive modesty, which eliminates any accidents caused by being caught on camera.
Lu Desheng nodded in his heart, Yao Songwen was not stupid.
Didn't you see Xie Mingtang running around in a panic? If he even hinted at a flaw in his words, he would be caught off guard.
"Okay, I agree. Effective immediately, you, Yao Songwen, will be the new Chief Justice of the Supreme Court." Emperor Kangcheng knew that the longer the night, the more trouble he would face. The position of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court was vacant, and the Xie family might just take it back. For now, let's put Yao Songwen in the position and see if he can hold on to it. The imperial court was all about balance.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. I will do my best until my death and never let Your Majesty down!" Yao Songwen kowtowed, and the matter was settled.
Xie Mingtang's eyes went dark. They had suffered a great loss! They hadn't calculated it, and instead lost such an important position as the Dali Temple Minister. But the emperor didn't leave, so he didn't dare to faint at all.
After dealing with all this, Emperor Kang Cheng felt tired. He glanced in the direction of Wei Zili, who immediately understood and stepped forward, shouting to adjourn the court.
As soon as Emperor Kang Cheng left, Xie Mingtang's body shook involuntarily and was supported by the official next to him. "Master Xie, are you okay?"
Zhao Wenkuan's face looked very ugly, but he was not in a position to step forward.
Xie Mingtang shook his head and tried to stand firmly. He gave Lu Desheng one last look and said, "Let's go."
After successfully resigning, Ji Yongqing, taking advantage of his poor health, rested in a side hall. When he learned that the new Dali Temple Minister was Yao Songwen, not Lü Desheng, he staggered. He had only one thought at that moment: This is too much! Can he get his position as Dali Temple Minister back?
The happiest person at this moment was undoubtedly Yao Songwen. His faction was also in an uproar. It was truly a case of the snipe and the clam fighting, while the fisherman profited! With Lu Desheng's perfect assist, the Yao family might become the biggest winner, commonly known as the most powerful bargain hunter today!
At the morning court session that day, Emperor Kang Cheng resolved a matter that had been bothering him for many years and was very satisfied.
Yao Songwen got a big piece of the pie, and the officials of the Yao faction were also very satisfied.
Lu Desheng fought back against the enemy forcefully, weakening their strength, and he was very satisfied.
