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

When Zhang Xian saw this booklet, his eyes suddenly turned red.

He had a difficult life when he was young. When he was in high spirits, he met Yan Hua, a teacher who was not like a teacher. His career was blocked by him. He was sent to the border and worked day and night, and his black hair turned white.

In the past twelve years, he could get very little help and kindness from his colleagues in the officialdom. He did not expect that the father and daughter of the Lu family, whom he met by chance, not only helped him a lot in his career, but also gave him such great help later.

At this moment, he had already regarded Lu Desheng as his mentor who taught him and answered his questions.

His wife Zhang accompanied him silently, and only she could understand his difficulties.

After Zhang Xian calmed down, he asked his wife to rest first. He told his wife that he had to think carefully about the path he would take next.

That night, the lights in the Zhang family's study were on all night.

Zhang Xian also thought about it for a night. He felt that what Lord Lu said was right, and his suggestion was the most suitable for him.

He found that he was indeed not suitable to be a lone minister. In addition, there are many factions in the court now. But generally speaking, there are three factions, and the four ministers of state are in two factions. Zuo Anmin assists the new emperor and forms his own faction.

If he wants to stand firm in the court, he must either vote in Zuo Anmin's camp or directly confront him. There is no third way to go.

If he votes for Zuo Anmin, Zuo Anmin is a big tree and a constraint for him.

Or voting for the two ministers of state is the same as voting for Zuo Anmin's camp.

But Zhang Xian was a person who had been sent out, not so naive, he knew the difficulty of working under others.

Since both sides have to fight, then it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.

Being the head of a chicken, forming a faction, and being directly decided by the emperor. Being the tail of a phoenix, there is a mother-in-law on his head for no reason, and there is one more person who can control him.

Zhang Xian made this decision, and then thought back to what Lu Desheng said. He knew that he had also learned some of Lu's methods. Lu used an open plot, but he made him willingly enter the game according to his ideas.

Lu Desheng was not surprised by his choice.

Lu Desheng knew him very well. His own character and experience made him unable to be a lone minister.

People all need a sense of security. A lone minister like him is a knife in the hands of the emperor. He automatically abandons defense, does not defend, and only attacks, which is equivalent to betting everything on the emperor.

Zhang Xian's experience of unsuccessful career will make him subconsciously grab more things to protect himself after he gets power.

In addition, the current political environment does not allow him to be a lone minister. The new emperor is not strong enough, and he cannot protect the sword in his hand.

Once his sword is broken, useless, and not sharp enough, just wait to be abandoned, and the new emperor will quickly choose his new sword.

Lv Desheng felt a little guilty about the new emperor's habit of abandoning a minister after a short period of time.

It seems that the new emperor's habit was cultivated by his little girl in Dali Prison? At that time, the little girl seemed to have told the new emperor that he was rich and talented, and that talents who wanted to serve him were coming one after another, so he should not care about the Qin family's young generals.

It was obvious that the new emperor listened to this.

But the new emperor's behavior also made the ministers see his cold temper.

For a period of time, Zhang Xian studied the pamphlet at home.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, the morning court was like a vegetable market, very lively.

Many political affairs that did not need to be discussed before now have to be discussed to determine what to do next.

Moreover, many things, after discussing to the end, still have no results.

Now the court is as lively as a vegetable market, you sing and I come on stage, you don't obey me, I don't obey you. You trip me up, I add some oil and vinegar to you.

One day, during the imperial court, Lü Desheng came without pretending to be sick. It happened that Zuo Anmin had taken a leave of absence because he was out of town on business.

Because the spring flood was approaching, the new emperor wanted to send an imperial envoy to inspect the south. He wanted to hand it over to his own people, and then the minister he was going to appoint was criticized by the ministers of the regent camp.

The new emperor was very angry.

At this time, Zhang Xian came out. He criticized the candidates prepared by the two regents from their abilities to their personal ethics. In contrast, it seemed that the person originally prepared by the new emperor was only slightly flawed in personal ethics, but outstanding in ability.

The ministers were shocked. This style of scolding and choking was inexplicably familiar.

The more they listened, the more their scalps tingled. How could this damn familiar style of advice be so similar to Lü Desheng?

The ministers glanced back and forth between Lü Desheng and Zhang Xian.

First, he looked at Zhang Xian suspiciously. When did you and Lv Desheng make peace?

Then he looked at Lv Desheng. Didn't you say you didn't accept any disciples? Didn't you even refuse to give any advice? What's wrong with Zhang Xian? Don't tell us that he learned everything by himself? !

On the dragon throne, the new emperor happily issued the appointment.

This was the first time the new emperor felt so happy since he ascended the throne. It turned out that there was someone in the court who found fault with the ministers he didn't like and made them suffer! He suddenly understood why the previous emperor favored Lv Desheng so much.

After the court was dismissed, before the ministers left the Golden Palace, the eunuch chief steward beside the new emperor came to invite Zhang Xian away.

After Zhang Xian followed the eunuch chief steward to the imperial study, he lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, saying that he asked the emperor to forgive him.

The new emperor wanted to praise him because of what happened in the Golden Palace just now. Seeing this, he asked him curiously, "What crime has Zhang Aiqing committed?"

"In fact, when I met the emperor last time, I wanted to say that I am not talented and learned enough to deserve such praise from the emperor."

The new emperor: "But I think you are very talented today."

"Your Majesty, in fact, this is just a little bit of what I learned from Lord Lu." Zhang Xian said embarrassedly.

Because the new emperor was young before he ascended the throne and was not valued by the previous emperor, he rarely went to court and did not understand Lord Lu's style of admonition. If he didn't say this, there would be ministers who would report it to the new emperor. It would be better for him to say it.

"Oh?" The new emperor said curiously. Who in the court didn't know that Lu Desheng was a man who cherished his own things? Zhang Xian actually caught his eye?

"Your Majesty, I actually visited Lord Lu a few days ago. Lord Lu and the late emperor got along well, which really made me envious. I tried to send Lord Lu a visiting card a few days ago, but I was not sure, thinking that Lord Lu might not see me. But unexpectedly, he did."

"Later, when I asked him the reason, he just said it was because of Yan Hua."

The new emperor nodded in his heart. This was Lu Desheng's style of dealing with people. He and Yan Hua didn't get along, so it was normal for him to sympathize with Zhang Xian who was deeply harmed by Yan Hua.

Zhang Xian thought to himself that Lord Lu helped him a lot, and he obviously didn't want to get involved, so he naturally had to try his best to get him out. And he was not wrong. Nine truths and one lie, can you say he was lying? No.
