Chapter 38

"You really don't want to go up?" Emperor Kang Cheng confirmed again.

Lu Desheng shook his head like a rattle, "I don't want to think about it. I don't want to be a high official, so it's just fine as I am now. When I get too old to write, I won't be able to help the emperor anymore, or the emperor will one day

Now that I have more useful ministers than you, please allow me a few acres of thin farmland, and I will return to my hometown to take care of myself."

What he said was that he firmly believed that the two of them could get along well with each other and start well and end well. This pure trust was very useful to Emperor Kang Cheng, and the invisible hat was the most deadly.

This kind of loyalty is touching to hear. At least Emperor Kang Cheng was very touched. At his age, there are actually very few people who can be moved by anything.

As the saying goes, those who have learned literature and martial arts will have the same wealth as the emperor. Among the officials who set out on the official career, there is no one who has not tried his best to climb up, and which one does not want to be promoted to an official position. He has been the emperor for so many years.

I have never heard a minister take the initiative to ask not to be promoted. There are very few officials like Lu Aiqing who know how much they weigh and have self-awareness. There are too few ministers who refuse to be promoted because they only care about him as the emperor.

.

Finally, Emperor Kang Cheng shook his head with a smile, "This won't work. Others will accuse me of being mean and ungrateful. I am the emperor, and I have clear distinctions between rewards and punishments. If I do well, I will be rewarded, and if I do poorly, I will be punished."

"Your Majesty, I like gold, silver and jewelry." Lu Desheng took two steps forward and whispered, "From now on, if I make meritorious service, if you want to reward me, just reward me with these. Or, if I make meritorious service, you can write it down in a small notebook.

, one day I am stupid and do something wrong, I will use this credit to pay for it, okay? Let’s agree, we will sit on the seat of the censor of the fifth rank and not move it?”

Emperor Kang Cheng had not yet answered. At this time, Wei Zili came back, but his expression was not right.

Lu Desheng's attention was suddenly diverted, and Emperor Kang Cheng had to stop the conversation.

Then Emperor Kang Cheng asked casually, "How is it? Is Lu Aiqing's daughter okay with the Queen Mother?"

The emperor asked, and seeing Mr. Lu looking at him expectantly, Wei Zili had a headache.

Emperor Kang Cheng, who had not waited for his reply for a long time, looked at him and asked, "What?"

"To be honest, Miss Lu Er's situation is not very good."

As soon as Wei Zili said these words, Lu Desheng's heart was tugged, and Emperor Kang Cheng motioned for him to continue.

"Because Zhao Wenkuan, the eldest daughter of Mr. Zhao, and Mr. Lu, the second daughter, fell into the water and were rescued by each other's fiancés, there have been a lot of rumors in Chang'an City recently. Zhao Yutan, the eldest daughter of Mr. Zhao, committed suicide twice because of this. The Queen Mother couldn't bear it and summoned Lu

My beloved daughters, Lu Songli, Xie Zhan, Zhao Yutan and Qin Sheng, want to remarry them."

Emperor Kang Cheng wanted to make a fool of himself, but thinking about the Queen Mother, he swallowed it back, "Finally, did the Queen Mother remarry them?"

"No. Miss Lu Er revealed that she injured her body's foundation in order to save her fiancé Xie Zhan."

Hearing this, Lu Desheng burst into tears.

His appearance shocked Emperor Kang Cheng, "Lu Aiqing, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Desheng looked at Emperor Kang Cheng with red eyes, "Your Majesty, how did she know about this? I and her mother have been hiding it from her."

Poor parents in the world, Emperor Kang Cheng patted him on the shoulder and asked Wei Zili, "What next?"

"Miss Lu Er has a heart disease and is infertile. As soon as my apprentice heard this, he hurried back to complain."

In other words, we still don’t know what the situation is over there.

Emperor Kang Cheng kept pacing. How could the Queen Mother interfere in such a thing? As a son, he also understood the Queen Mother. She would rarely give in to anything she wanted to do. Even if Lu Aiqing's daughter was already in such a miserable condition, she would not

I'm afraid that this will be a done deal.

Trouble, doesn't this hurt Lu Aiqing's heart? In the past, he would have been too lazy to care, but today she just showed her loyalty, and his mother turned around and stabbed her like this. How can she be upset?

"Your Majesty, I feel uncomfortable." From now on, I don't know how many people will point fingers at her because of this.

Emperor Kang Cheng also sighed, "There is nothing we can do about it." With such private matters exposed, it can be seen that he was pushed to the extreme.

When Lu Desheng heard this, his body shook.

Emperor Kang Cheng saw him looking like he had stepped down from the sky, and he kept blaming himself, "It's all my fault that I'm useless!"

Emperor Kang Cheng walked back and forth twice in the palace with his hands behind his back, and finally walked to the dragon table, took out something from the drawer, came back, and handed it to Lu Desheng, "Take this, I am correct about what you just said.

"

When Lu Desheng saw clearly what Emperor Kang Cheng handed over, he was immediately startled and everyone stammered, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, this is too precious, I can't have it!"

In fact, Emperor Kang Cheng hesitated to give the things out on impulse, but Lu Desheng's refusal made him happy that he had not misjudged the person, "Take it." The Lu family has a simple population, and this thing has an impact on him.

It shouldn't be big.

Neither the monarch nor the minister noticed that a young eunuch saw this scene, his eyes bulged in surprise, and then he quickly and carefully withdrew.

After Lu Desheng put the things into his arms, he whispered to Emperor Kang Cheng, "Your Majesty, I want to go back."

"Um?"

Lu Desheng smiled shyly and said honestly, "I have received such a big treasure, so I want to go home quickly and hide it before I feel relieved."

Emperor Kang Cheng laughed, "Aren't you worried about your daughter?"

Lu Desheng shook his head and said sternly, "We believe that the emperor believes in the Queen Mother." Now that the daughter's self-explosion of scars has happened, it is useless to feel sorry for her. If there is any loss, the worst is the loss of her marriage to the Xie family.

Well. With the treasure in hand, he is very open-minded.

"Okay, you can go back." Emperor Kang Cheng also felt a little tired, so he waved his hand and let him go.
