Chapter 78: I'm so angry
Chapter 78
Lu Mingzhi looked at his father worriedly. No one present was on his father's side. How could his father defeat them with two fists? Now that he had seen it with his own eyes, he realized how difficult it was for his father to stay in the court.
Lu Songli was not worried about her father. Her father must have experienced situations even more dangerous than this. The current situation was within their expectations, and she believed that her father could handle it.
Lu Songli gave her younger brother a reassuring look, telling him to believe in their father's business ability.
Yan Hua, her father had mentioned, was a relatively active censor in the Censorate. As the saying goes, peers look down on each other, and the two of them would occasionally challenge each other, but her father always managed to come out on top.
Not surprisingly, Yan Hua has now been recruited by the Xie family. Lu Songli looked towards Xie Zhan, only to see that he seemed to have noticed her gaze and was staring at her quietly, his whole body calm.
Lu Songli's guess was correct; Yan Hua was now a member of the Xie faction. Ever since the twists and turns in the marriage between the Xie and Lu families, he had realized that Lu Desheng would leave the Xie faction due to the breakdown of the marriage relationship between the two families. He would not allow such a weakness in the Xie family, and Yan Hua was recruited into the family some time ago.
Sure enough, she heard her father sneer and retort.
Lu Desheng sneered, "You admit that he is excellent, that's because you, as an imperial censor, are not good enough. In my eyes, he is nothing! How dare the light of a firefly compete with the sun and the moon!" He looked arrogant because of his talent.
Arrogant and arrogant!
The ministers could not help but look at Emperor Kang Cheng, only to see that Emperor Kang Cheng was drinking tea indifferently, as if he was oblivious to what was happening before his eyes.
Wei Zili stood aside, secretly complaining in his heart, "You all ganged up on Lord Lu, and Lord Lu fought back, and you still want the emperor to side with you? Where's your face?"
Yan Hua was so angry that he vomited blood. He felt that although he deliberately provoked Lu Desheng, he thought his evaluation of Fan Quan was fair.
"Lü Desheng, you are bullying the weak. Comparing Fan Quan with yourself now, your victory is unfair!" he accused.
"Whatever you say, you're all garbage anyway!" Lu Desheng raised his chin. "I don't care if you're good at martial arts or not. I don't care about martial ethics. So what? He'll fight anyone who tries to take his place!" He adjusted his jade hairpin, as if he'd been a little too excited.
Xie Zhan's mouth twitched. This Lü Desheng was truly unrefined. Fan Quan was like a chick compared to an elephant, but as soon as this elephant sensed a threat, even the slightest hint of it, he'd pounce, ferocious as a tiger, pinning his opponent to the ground and stamping on him until any sign of it vanished.
The other ministers fell silent. They didn't want to be scolded by Lu Desheng, especially in front of the emperor!
Being called trash, Yan Hua was furious. "Lv Desheng, you are too narrow-minded. What you said is not fair at all. You are completely jealous of talented people, suppressing newcomers, and excluding dissidents!"
Lu Desheng sneered, "You speak as if you've never done such a thing! Where was your good disciple Zhang Xian in the eighteenth year of Tianxi? You sent him to the very edge of Dali to serve as an official."
"If you don't like him, just let him become your disciple. You admire his talent and lured him to your school, but you won't give him a chance to succeed. Just because he didn't marry your daughter and wouldn't agree to become your son-in-law, you degrade him. Tell me, aren't you vicious? What's the difference between ruining someone's future and killing their parents? It's fine if you don't want to give it yourself, but you don't allow others to give it! Just tell me, aren't you jealous of talented people?"
Lu Desheng's series of questions exposed his true face and left him no face at all.
Lu Desheng picked up the tea bowl beside him and drank it all. Looking at Yan Hua's flushed face, he smiled coldly, "Come on, let's hurt each other. You want to attack me? First, check if your bottom is clean!"
"You - you -" Yan Hua stared at Lu Desheng and was speechless. He was so angry. Lu Desheng's mouth was so mean!
He felt like he couldn't breathe and almost fainted. But he knew he couldn't faint. He wasn't as favored as Lu Desheng. If he fainted, he would definitely be carried aside and lose the initiative. He couldn't do this!
Ministers: Fight, fight! Quick!
Bang! Emperor Kang Cheng knocked his hand on the table. "Okay, stop arguing."
The ministers all looked regretful, their expressions full of unsatisfied feelings. The two of them were fighting back and forth, and it was really enjoyable, but it was a pity that the emperor did not allow it.
"Your Majesty! Look at Censor Lu--" Yan Hua couldn't win the argument, so he simply turned to Emperor Kang Cheng to complain. He cried out as aggrieved as he could with the word "Your Majesty".
Lu Desheng took a step forward and pushed Yan Hua aside. "Your Majesty, do you think this old minister is useless?" he asked pitifully.
"How could that be? My dear minister, you can still serve me as an imperial censor for another ten years." Emperor Kang Cheng was very tolerant of his own exclusive sharp blade. It was still unknown whether the new knife could be used or how good it was.
"Your Majesty, your words are enough for me." Lu Desheng did not mention Fan Quan at all, but he said everything.
Fan Quan, ah Fan Quan, as long as I am still in this position, you will never get ahead!
"Your Majesty—" Yan Hua shouted.
Emperor Kang Cheng glanced at him indifferently.
This glance made Yan Hua's heartfelt words stuck in his throat. He didn't know whether to say it or not.
"Your Majesty, have some tea. This is the only tea from Hongsheng Restaurant that is worthy of your Majesty's taste." Lu Desheng said as he was about to make tea for the emperor. At this moment, his mind and eyes were full of Emperor Kang Cheng. He was busy running around and was very attentive, as if he had completely forgotten about Yan Hua.
"Okay, stop busying yourself. We just talked so much. Aren't you thirsty?"
Yan Hua clutched his heart at the words, feeling as if he had been shot by an arrow, deeply hurt. Partiality! This was blatant partiality! He believed that in the matter of Fan Quan, he was recruiting talents for the emperor, and was very selfless. Why couldn't the emperor see it?
As soon as Emperor Kangcheng finished speaking, Wei Zili beside him hurriedly said, "Hey, Lord Lu, please put down the tea and let us come. You can't take away our job of eating."
"Okay, thank you for troubling Eunuch Wei." Lu Desheng didn't argue with him. His tea-making skills were definitely not as good as Wei Ziling's. In fact, he didn't necessarily have to make tea for the emperor, but he had to show that he was very willing to serve him.
And then, of course, nothing happened. If I continued, I would have embarrassed myself and offended Wei Zili. The emperor wouldn't have had a good sip of tea. Why bother? My daughter was right. Professional matters must be left to professionals.
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Wei brews tea much better than mine. Your Majesty can also drink it smoothly. If there is something better, I will not embarrass myself."
When Emperor Kang Cheng heard Lu Desheng's words, he felt comfortable listening to him. He thought that Lu Desheng was a good minister who only cared about him.
Wei Zili was also pleased to hear the compliment.
"Lock-legged bastard!" the ministers cursed silently.
