Xi'anmen Ertiao Lane, Taishi Mansion of the Song Dynasty.
Hu Weiyong's arrival seemed to light up a bright light for the four great Confucians who were in trouble.
Once the Confucian scholars accepted the idea of "protecting two and sacrificing three", the rest of the matter became simple. The two sides quickly reached an intention to cooperate and unanimously decided to fight each other on matters related to the three reforms in the future, striving to achieve the goal of disrupting the reform as soon as possible.
.
It was already early in the morning when Hu Weiyong said goodbye, but the four great scholars were all in high spirits. They finally saw the dawn of overcoming the difficulties, and they were so excited that they felt no fatigue.
Prime Minister Hu was also very happy. He took Song Shen's hand and praised Song Lian profusely: "Is this young man your grandson? What a talented person he is."
"Yes, it's very ineffective." Song Lian smiled bitterly, not because he was self-effacing.
His grandson is also a tyrant in Dongyang. The only difference between him and Hu Tianci is that no one has filed a lawsuit yet.
"Hey, I feel happy when I see him. This child will become a great person in the future." Hu Weiyong was full of praise and asked Song Shen how old he was and whether he was engaged.
Song Shen replied that at eighteen, there was no engagement.
In fact, in his family, at this age, and not yet married, this in itself means there is a problem.
But Hu Weiyong didn't care. He climbed up the pole and said to Song Lian: "It just so happens that my eldest brother's granddaughter is waiting for marriage. Since your grandson is not married yet, I have the audacity to propose to Taishi Gong. I wonder if I can get it?"
Hu Han and the other three were all shocked. This was going to be a marriage. Then the Song family would be completely bound to the Hu family.
Song Lian felt like he had eaten a fly, but he couldn't refuse. If you said you couldn't reach a higher level, didn't you completely offend Hu Weiyong? How could you expect him to disrupt the three reforms...
Besides, his grandson is not a good person. He can be married to the prime minister's family. What else is there to feel wronged about?
After pondering for a moment, he squeezed out a smile and said: "It is this boy's blessing that Meng and Hu will never abandon each other. Of course, this old man can't ask for it. But the important matter of marriage depends on the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Just the two of us have settled it."
Don’t count.”
"Hahaha, it's fine if Taishi Gong agrees. As long as Taishi Gong agrees, I will prepare generous gifts and invite Ice Man to come to propose marriage." Hu Weiyong laughed loudly, grabbed Song Lian's hand and shook it a few times with satisfaction and said:
"I will recall your boss right away and make a date for the wedding as soon as possible."
"Okay..." Song Lian could only smile bitterly. Unexpectedly, he would enjoy the benefits of his in-laws without even saying a word about it. It seems that this marriage is something he can't get rid of even if he wants to.
Looking at his grandson Song Shen, he was still grinning from ear to ear. He wished he could kowtow to Hu Weiyong and call him grandpa on the spot.
Song Shen obviously knew that Hu Weiyong had no children and that his nephew and grandson-in-law was no different from his own grandson.
In the future, when you become the grandson of the prime minister, you no longer have to worry about being taken care of by the old man.
~~
Song Lian and others watched Hu Weiyong get on the donkey cart and drive away slowly.
"Alas, Tai Shigong's sacrifice was too great..." Dai Liang sighed.
"But this is also the meaning of the question. We need to cooperate for a long time in the future, so that both of us can rest assured." Su Boheng knew the general outline. It was not a marriage between his grandsons anyway.
"In any case, Prime Minister Hu is deeply favored by the saints and has been the prime minister for ten years. After he becomes an official in the future, the remaining shadow will be enough to protect his grandson." Hu Han said it like a human being.
"Well, the prince and Prime Minister Hu have never been on good terms. Who knows what will happen in the future?" Song Lian sighed.
"Tai Shigong, you are an old man. This year, Mr. Hu has changed his mind and will never fight against the prince again." Dai Liang said with a smile.
"Really?" Song Lian doesn't know about this new change yet.
"Yes, Prime Minister Hu obviously wants to ease the relationship with the Crown Prince, and his sudden marriage to the Grand Historian is probably also out of this consideration." Su Boheng said in a low voice.
"That makes sense." Everyone nodded.
Song Lian thought about it and found that this was the only possibility, so he said cautiously: "If he has this intention, I will naturally help to make peace."
~~
On the other side, Hu Xiang's donkey cart was driving slowly on the quiet Xi'anmen Street.
It was dark inside the carriage and the stars were shining brightly outside. Hu Weiyong and Hu De sat side by side at the front of the carriage.
Seeing that his uncle was in a good mood, Hu De joked and whispered, "Uncle really likes that Song Shen?"
"Yeah." Hu Weiyong looked at the stars in the sky and missed his baby and said, "I see the shadow of God's gift in him."
"Oh..." Hood almost couldn't hold himself back, thinking to himself, isn't that just a standard bastard look?
"But more importantly, it's to tie Song Lian and those big scholars to our chariot." Hu Weiyong changed the topic and said proudly: "I didn't expect them to be so cooperative. It seems that they can't do it if they study too much.
.”
"Hehe, they're just a bunch of nerds." Hu De chuckled and said, "If it weren't for my uncle, I don't know how many nerds would have survived tonight."
"Don't look down on nerds, public opinion is in their hands." Hu Weiyong sighed softly: "Originally, they were the ones I was most worried about."
Hood knew that his uncle was worried about the will of the people after the coup.
At this time, the attitude of civil servants is very critical.
With the support of civil servants, the coup is what everyone hopes to bring order to the chaos. If the civil servants object fiercely, they will become rebellious officials and traitors, and everyone will punish them.
It can be seen from what happened this time that although civil servants are not strong individually, once they work together, they will become the general trend.
Even Boss Zhu and his son were in trouble for going against the general trend and were sprayed all over. You can imagine what kind of public opinion trend they will face once they are labeled as traitors and traitors. In the end, this trend will turn into a substantial wave.
Bury them completely.
Therefore, if Hu Weiyong gets rid of the civilian officials before taking action, the coup will be more effective. Otherwise, it will be less effective with twice the result...
But Confucianism is also called a famous religion, and the most important thing is the principle of standing. Under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible to support him in a coup. Originally, even Hu Weiyong did not expect those great Confucians to support him. He only planned to install more cronies in the civil service ranks.
Best friends, when the time comes, use the voices of these people to dilute Shilin's opposition.
Unexpectedly, Boss Zhu and Lao Liu teamed up to present a great gift at this time. The two men were so mad that they actually carried out three reforms and kicked Confucius out of Taixue. This was to kill Confucianism.
Offended.
How could Hu Weiyong let go of this God-given opportunity? He immediately used his horizontal jumping skills and started to sow discord between the two sides.
In front of the emperor, he firmly supported the reform and pushed the civil servants to a dead end.
When the civil servants were in despair, he turned into a savior and helped them solve their problems.
The purpose is to make the civil servants hate Boss Zhu and his son and cooperate with him to deal with Lao Liu. In this way, when his coup is successful, they will no longer be able to get on the pirate ship and can only help him encourage and shout out.
"This is really God's help to my uncle." Hu De praised hurriedly.
"It's not the sky, it's our Emperor who pushed his civil servants and generals to my side." Hu Weiyong raised his hand in a bow and arrow gesture, fired an arrow towards the purple star in the sky and said:
"This means that if God does evil, it will be forgiven, but if you do evil yourself, you will not live."
