It was not too late for Lu Zhongtian and Wu Chunlai to get the news. The political affairs hall was always well informed. As soon as the news from Hangzhou entered the capital, Wu Chunlai got the report and immediately went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to report the matter to Lu Zhongtian.
In the past few months, Lu Zhongtian and Wu Chunlai have behaved very calmly. Wu Chunlai took the lead in impeaching Yan Fang and the two, and after playing the "Ten Sins". In fact, Lu Zhongtian and Wu Chunlai had openly broken with the reformists. Guo Chong took the lead in the impeachment.
He Xini appeased the two parties. After Wu Chunlai was promoted to deputy prime minister, although there was no apparent conflict anymore, in fact, they had no contact with each other for a long time.
Lu Zhongtian and Wu Chunlai knew that if they wanted to bring down Yan Fang and the others, the only place they could take action was on the new law. These two men had clear official reputations and clean shoulders, and there were no dark spots in their life styles or even in their official duties.
Therefore, there was no way to start. However, the only thing that could be done was the new law, but it was because of the emperor's strong support. Therefore, Lu Zhongtian and Wu Chunlai could only remain silent and calm down. Although they saw the reform faction flourishing,
The news turned upside down and the whole week was in full swing. Lu Zhongtian and Wu Chunlai could only stay on the sidelines and watch.
Of course, some small actions still need to be done, such as collecting local negative news about the new law, reporting it to Guo Chong in the form of a three-day report to the Zhengshitang, and sending it to all government offices in the capital under the Zhengshitang, creating some public opinion momentum. For example,
Collecting the records of a large number of officials promoted by the reform faction, finding out the dirty information to impeach and block the appointment, to prove that Yan Fang and his two men did not check the personnel, etc. However, these things can only be regarded as a side effect and cannot stop the general trend of the reform at all.
Wu Chunlai was a little depressed and discouraged. He believed that if no measures were taken, Yan Zhengshu and Fang Dunru would sooner or later ride on Lu Xianghe's head and shit on him. Especially for himself, he once submitted the "Ten Sins" for impeachment.
When the two of them settle accounts, he will not be the first to be stabbed. Therefore, he is extremely dissatisfied with the current situation. Although he secretly encouraged and arranged many group incidents in the local area specifically for the implementation of the new law, these
All seem to have little effect.
But Lu Zhongtian was very calm. He told Wu Chunlai to stay calm. This is the time when patience is needed. Lu Zhongtian has seen this kind of situation where up-and-coming officials are favored. It looks like a bustle and flowers.
Jin, but in fact they cannot withstand the baptism of a storm. What they have to wait for is the moment when the storm hits. When the tide recedes, it is clear at a glance who is wearing pants and who is naked.
Moreover, Lu Zhongtian came to the conclusion after observing the implementation of the new law. The fanatical reform officials were so unscrupulous in implementing the new law in all parts of the Zhou Dynasty. Sooner or later, the arrogant upstarts would annoy some people, and sooner or later something would happen. Yan Zhengsheng and Fang Dunru did not
Being able to control the methods and emotions of the reformists not only did not allow them to deal with things calmly, but also made them use their passion to fuel the flames. This is extremely wrong. The result of this is to make these people under them more and more arrogant, which must be
There will be big problems.
Facts have proved that Lu Zhongtian's judgment was correct. When Wu Chunlai came to Lu Zhongtian's mansion with the news that Liang Wang Guo Bing had drowned Kang Zizhen, his first sentence was to bow to the ground and sigh: "Jiang is still
Old and spicy. Lu Xiangzhi’s words really hit the target.”
Liang Wang Guo Bing killed Kang Zizhen. No matter how you look at it, this is great news for Lu Zhongtian and Wu Chunlai. They know that the turning point has arrived. Kang Zizhen's death will definitely cause waves and will lead to
A series of consequences.
There are two choices before them. One is to stand on the side of Liang Wang Guo Bing, excuse him, and save Guo Bing. In that case, it will be a huge blow to Yan Zhengsheng and Fang Dunru. They can't even join the reform faction.
If no one can protect them, their prestige will be greatly reduced, their dignity will be ruined, and the confidence of those under them will also be greatly reduced. Who will dare to charge forward again? Moreover, Guo Bing will be grateful to Lu Zhongtian and Wu Chunlai for this, and he will become a vanguard in attacking the reformists.
The second option is to add insult to injury and take advantage of his illness to kill him. This is the best opportunity to overthrow Prince Liang's palace. Just add fuel to the flames and label Prince Guo Bing of Liang as defiant and obstructing the new law. Cooperate with the fierceness of the reformists.
In response, it is almost a foregone conclusion to work together to overthrow the King of Liang. The advantage of this is that firstly, it can solve this old enemy who has been at odds with Lu Zhongtian for many years. Secondly, it can conform to the overall situation and the emperor's inner thoughts. Thirdly, it can also bring peace between the reformists and the emperor.
The pro-nobles completely broke apart, giving the reform faction another powerful enemy. It could be said to kill three birds with one stone.
After weighing it again and again, Lu Zhongtian and Wu Chunlai believed that the second option was undoubtedly the best. Killing three birds with one stone, killing without blood. The blame lies with the reform faction, and they only need to speak from the so-called fair perspective of the court's laws.
The most important thing is that this move must be in line with the wishes of the Holy Emperor. Even a blind person can see the Holy Spirit's attitude towards the King of Liang. The reformists seemed to be arrogant because of this, but they provoked huge opponents such as the royal relatives.
, taking another step closer to their stranger.
For Lu Zhongtian personally, eliminating his old enemy for many years is not actually what makes him happiest. What he is happiest about is actually the future. It is obvious that in the future competition for the crown prince's position, the Liang Palace will stand on the opposite side of him.
.In the matter of establishing a prince, the opinions of the royal family and nobles are undoubtedly important, enough to influence many opinions. Being able to remove this factor that affects the overall situation is undoubtedly a big step forward for his grandson Huai Wang Guo Xu to compete for the crown prince position. Only then
This is what makes Lu Zhongtian happiest.
All in all, various factions and people in the capital quickly found their own positions after the news of Kang Zizhen being drowned by Guo Bing reached the capital and made the decision that was most beneficial to them. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were almost unanimous
Some people believe that King Liang must be punished for his behavior this time. This view is one-sided, and it seems that King Liang Guo Bing is doomed this time.
…
In the early morning, Lin Jue woke up feeling comfortable. After months of wandering around, Lin Jue slept the most peacefully and soundly in his own home today.
But as soon as he opened his eyes, all kinds of things suddenly came to him. His mind was filled with things, and his mood suddenly became gloomy again. Lu Wu came into the room to help Lin Jue get up and wash up. Facing Lu Wu's smile, Lin Jue's mood changed.
He's feeling better again. He returned to Beijing in the middle of the night last night and didn't say a few words. It can be seen that Lu Wu has a thousand words to say, but this is not the time now. He only hugged Lu Wu while she was waiting for him to change.
Waist, that's some comfort.
Sugar cakes and millet porridge have been placed in the hall. This is undoubtedly the handiwork of Lu Wu. Lin Jue grabbed the sugar cake and took a bite. It was crunchy and warm, and the sugar juice inside flowed into his mouth. He sighed deeply, closed his eyes and shook his head in satisfaction.
.
"In this life, what more could I ask for? Eating the sugar cakes made by Lu Wu and drinking the millet porridge made by Lu Wu, I wouldn't trade it for a god." Lin Jue praised.
Lu Wu covered her mouth and giggled. Although the young master's words were obviously exaggerated, she just liked it. The young master is still the young master who loves to eat his own sugar cakes and make rice porridge, even though he no longer needs to eat these simple things.
, he still likes to eat. In fact, the young master seems not to have changed at all.
"As long as the young master likes to eat, Lu Wu will make sweet cakes and porridge for the whole life of the young master. I'm afraid that the young master will get tired of eating and won't like it anymore," Lu Wu said with a smile.
Lin Jue laughed and said: "How is that possible? I will never get tired of eating it in my life, and I will eat it in the next life."
Lu Wu became even happier. When she was about to speak, the little princess walked in from outside. Early in the morning, the little princess got up and went for a walk in the yard. This was her daily homework. It was said that it was for the sake of her children. Wangfu
The mother-in-law Wen said that the fetal position must be correct when giving birth, otherwise there will be great danger. And if you want the fetal position to be correct, getting up early and taking a walk every day is the best way to adjust it, so the little princess has already started to prepare for the birth.
The little princess came in and said with a smile: "I have heard you here so early in the morning swearing to each other and talking sweetly. It's really enviable."
Lu Wu blushed and did not dare to speak. The little princess smiled and said: "Sister Lu Wu, I'm not jealous, don't worry. It's just a casual joke."
Lu Wu said hurriedly: "How dare I worry too much about what Princess Princess said? If there is anything wrong with my words, Princess Princess should give me a reprimand."
The little princess smiled and said: "Then I don't dare. If you talk about admonishment, don't mention it from now on. From now on, if we have anything to do, we can just discuss it."
Lu Wu was a little confused when she heard this. After meeting last night, she always felt that the little princess was speaking strangely, and she didn't know if she had done something wrong. She always felt that there was some gap.
Lin Jue saw this and smiled and said: "Let's all sit down and have breakfast. I have to eat and go out."
The little princess sniffed and said, "It smells so good. I'm really hungry."
Lin Jue stepped forward and helped her sit down. Lu Wu hurriedly served a bowl of porridge to the little princess, and then took a piece of sugar cake, wrapped it in gauze and sent it to the little princess. The little princess thanked her and took it, took a delicate bite and praised her repeatedly.
Endless.
"It's delicious, it's delicious. No wonder my husband is always talking about this, it's really delicious."
Lu Wu smiled and said: "Sister Princess, what kind of delicacies have you never tasted? What does this mean?"
Lin Jue smiled and said: "It is precisely because I have eaten all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas that I know that this simple sugar cake and whole grains are actually more delicious. This is called returning to nature."
Everyone laughed, and the little princess put down the candy cake and asked: "Sir, are you going to the Yamen today? When will you go to see my mother and brother?"
Lin Jue said: "I have to go to the Kaifeng Mansion Yamen first. I haven't returned for several months. I don't know what's going on with the Yamen. If there is no accident, I won't be able to leave until noon. Don't worry. I know what's going on."
The little princess sighed softly and said: "Husband, I can only worry about it. I am so worried, but there is nothing I can do. Husband, Weier, I leave it to you."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "My family, why are you saying these kind words?"
The little princess paused, and suddenly her eyes turned red. Lin Jue asked the reason quickly, and the little princess said softly: "I had a nightmare last night, it was... it was really scary. I saw you were sleeping soundly so I didn't wake you up. I
I always feel...it seems to be an ominous sign."
Lin Jue frowned and said: "The dream is not true, it's just because you think about it too much. Don't think too much. At this time, you should calm down and rest."
The little princess sighed: "I don't know how to calm down and recuperate, but... how can I calm down? My heart is churning and anxious. I really don't know what to do. You don't know that the nightmare last night was really...
…It’s terrible, it’s terrible.”
The little princess frowned and her face was full of sorrow. This was the first time Lin Jue saw the little princess like this. Even though he and her had been in such trouble, he had never seen the little princess so weak. It can be seen that this incident has caused great harm to the little princess.
The psychological burden brought by the Lord is heavy.
