Chapter 95 The Madness of Power
Zhou He came to Lufu.
This is not the first time he has come, but it is the most nervous and unfamiliar one.
The Lu Mansion is very deserted, with few servants and maids. In the huge house, there are not many people.
Under the guidance of Lu Hongyou, Zhou He came to Lu Dafang's study.
Zhou He looked at Lu Dafang who was silent as always and still as motionless as a mountain, raised his hand gently and said, "Grandpa Lu, I asked me to come."
Lu Dafang was obese and his hair was white. He looked at Zhou He and said in a hoarse voice, "I understand."
Zhou He did not hear the heavy and low feeling of the past from Lu Dafang's voice. Instead, he was a little vicissitudes and weak. He was shocked and said, "Grandpa Lu, the Empress is really angry."
Lu Dafang looked at Zhou He, silently for a while, and said, "Go back and tell the Empress, I understand."
Zhou He thought a lot along the way and had a lot to say, but now he can't say anything.
After a long time, he raised his hand and said, "Please come to my husband."
Lu Dafang didn't say anything anymore, and he didn't even mean to send him off or ask his son to give him off.
Zhou He was worried that Empress Dowager Gao would not care about these things and hurriedly left the Lvfu.
Lu Hongyou looked at his father with a serious expression.
He knew his father very well, he knew that his father was going to do something, and it was very intense and risky!
Lu Dafang looked up at him and said, "Go and call them all."
Lu Hongyou wanted to open his mouth and speak several times, but finally responded and turned around and went out.
Not long after, many people came to the living room of Lufu one after another.
Everyone was wearing regular clothes, but each looked solemn and serious.
Lu Hongyou and Qin Bing have been welcoming each other and arranged seats.
Lu Hongyou remembered it silently, and his expression couldn't help but become solemn.
The Privy Councillor Wang Yansou, the clerk of the academy, was a counselor, was a clerk of the minister, Zhu Guangting, Taizhong Dafu, Shangguan Jun, Fuwenge attendant, Lu Shengqing, the subordinate minister, Deng Xunwu, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Fan Chuncui, the minister of the Ministry of Works, and Yang Wei, the minister of the Ministry of Revenue...
Almost all the people who came were above the fourth rank, and they were all important officials of the court. It was eye-catching to release any one, not to mention that there were more than 40 people!
Outside the door, there were still people rushing over.
The Lufu suddenly made such a big move, which naturally alarmed Kaifeng City. I don’t know how many people looked at the Lufu in panic.
Fan Chunren's mansion.
The housekeeper stepped forward and whispered, "Master, the Fourth Uncle is gone."
The "Four Nephews" he mentioned was Fan Chunren's fourth brother, Fan Zhongyan's fourth son, Fan Chuncui.
Fan Chunren waved his hand with a blank expression on his face.
Fan Bailu Mansion.
Fan Bailu was playing chess with someone. When he heard the news, he stood up and walked away with his hands behind his back.
Su Song, who was busy dispatching troops in the Privy Council, listened silently for a while and did not speak.
However, when Zhao Xu heard the news, he sat on the chair in the Chuigong Hall, looked up at the door, his expression remained motionless and his eyes were cold.
There were countless people coming and going in the Cining Hall, but Empress Dowager Gao suddenly became happy and summoned many concubines in the harem, which rarely brought up family affairs.
Lufu.
More than 80 people came, all of them, all of them were in the court, with officials and famous officials, nobles and nobles, covering almost all aspects!
There are many people, and it is difficult to remain silent anymore. Many people speak generously and speak fiercely.
"The remaining poisons of the 'Royal Party' have caused great harm to the country, so we must not tolerate it!"
"What the royal party does is still vivid in my mind. He is greedy and illegal, arrogant and arrogant, harms the people, is obsessed with power, possesses the court, rejects dissidents, and does not neglect means. How many people die at his hands!"
"Little man! A group of villains! We will never be compatible with the world and the country!"
"How can my country in the Song Dynasty be destroyed by a group of villains!"
"The official family is deceived by villains and does not know its sins. We should work together to ask the official family to understand right and wrong, good and evil, merit and demerit!"
There were not many people talking, only seven or eight, but the small hall still seemed to be ups and downs and spoke with a sigh.
Most people are silent, with their eyebrows tightly frowning, their expressions change, and their eyes flash.
I don’t know how long it took, but Lu Dafang slowly walked in through the side door.
The crowd quickly closed their hands and raised their hands together and said, "Prime Minister."
Lu Dafang stood in the middle, glanced at the large group of people, and said in a hoarse voice, "You all know the matter. I won't force you to sign. If you want to sign, just come and take a look and sign it."
Lu Dafang said, took out a memorial and placed it next to the pen and ink on the table behind him.
Qin Bing was the first to go forward, but didn't even read it. He opened the memorial book and wrote the word "Qin Bing" neatly on the signature page at the front.
Deng Xunwu looked at Lu Dafang, looked at the others again, came to the table, flipped through the memorial, glanced a few times, picked up the pen in a deep color,
Then Lu Shengqing looked at him a few times and picked up the pen decisively.
The people in the room came forward one by one, some looked at it, and some didn't, and they picked up their pens and signed on the signature page.
Qin Bing and Lu Hongyou were with Lu Dafang, with a solemn face and didn't know what he was thinking.
Lu Dafang lowered his eyes and waited until everyone finished writing, then said, "I've signed it and I'll send this memorial to you at the right time."
The group of people raised their hands together and said, "As for the Prime Minister's order."
More than 80 people raised their hands, and after saying that, many people wanted to say something, but eventually left one after another.
Lu Hongyou looked at Lu Dafang, but he wanted to speak but stopped.
Lu Dafang turned to Qin Bing and said, "Take it, go and ask who you want to sign."
Those were the remaining husbands in the court, Su Song, Fan Chunren, Fan Chuncui and others.
Qin Bing picked up this thick memorial and said in a deep voice: "Yes!"
After saying that, he left the Lvfu.
Lu Dafang turned around and said, "No need to say more."
Lu Hongyou opened his mouth and said nothing.
When the people from the Lv Mansion came out, the news spread everywhere again.
There are all kinds of discussions, and rumors are everywhere.
Privy Council.
Su Song arranged some things, sat on a chair, looked outside the palace, and sighed softly.
The Privy Councilor Jiang Jing walked over quietly, bowed in front of him, and said, "Young Master, why do you sigh?"
Su Song glanced at him and said, "Lu Dafang has done it."
Jiang Jing looked at Su Song, hesitated for a while, and said, "Actually, the subordinates don't understand why the husband did not dissuade the officials. The world has suffered a long time of reform and has a deep hatred for the royal party. Why doesn't the husband express his opinion?"
In fact, the so-called "reform" has always been a matter for a few people. None of the reformers in history have had good results.
Almost without exception, his reputation was destroyed, his family was destroyed, and his family was destroyed.
Su Song looked at the sky outside the palace and said with a rare feeling: "Sima Jun wanted to abolish the new law at the beginning. I had argued with him, but he couldn't listen at all. Wang Jiefu was not useless, but now he has ruined it too much."
There are many such views from Yuanyouchu to now. Jiang Jing was not surprised and said, "Why is Mr. Lu? If he does this, he will definitely anger the official family and the consequences will be unpredictable."
Su Song suddenly became silent this time. After a while, he said: "The affairs of the country and the world are all, and his reputation is not taken seriously during his lifetime. Wang Jiefu ignored it, he must ask for it."
Jiang Jing pondered this sentence carefully and said with some understanding: "Thank you for your advice."
In Jiang Jing's opinion, Su Song's words mean very simple. Wang Anshi reformed the reforms for the sake of the family, country and the world, to eliminate the bad policies of the Song Dynasty, and to last forever. He ignored the slander during his lifetime, did not care about honor and disgrace behind his back, and even comments in history.
But Lu Dafang is different. Lu Dafang must not only be clear when he is alive, but also leave his name in history after his death.
‘Maybe, I’m afraid that the New Party members will liquidate them…’
Jiang Jing said to himself.
Jiang Jing speculated that Lu Dafang and his people were also afraid that after the "New Party" came to power, they would deal with them like they would deal with the "New Party".
Jiang Jing thought this way and couldn't help but turn to the direction of the Chuigong Hall.
Lu Dafang and others are fighting with all their might. Facing you, Feifei, who is surging like a huge wave, what will the officials do? Will they give in like the Emperor of Shenzong?
‘This is the final battle, right?’
Jiang Jing said intimately that after this time, either the government will give in and give up the idea of reform; or Lu Dafang and others will be completely eliminated!
