Chapter 766: Forced Smile
It was not too late for Lu Zhongtian and Wu Chunlai to get the news. The government hall has always been well-informed. As soon as the news from Hangzhou entered Beijing, Wu Chunlai received a 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 been very calm. Wu Chunlai led the impeachment of Yan Fang and the two, after playing "Ten Sins". In fact, there has been an open break between Lu Zhongtian and Wu Chunlai and the Fa Reform School. Guo Chong pacified the two parties from Zhong and the mud, and after Wu Chunlai was promoted to vice minister, although there was no superficial conflict, in fact, he had long since died of old age.
Lu Zhongtian and Wu Chunlai knew that if they wanted to bring down Yan Fang and the others, the only place they could do was in the matter of the new law. These two people have a clear official voice, clean sleeves, and no black spots in their life style and even in official politics, so they have no way to start. However, the only thing that can be done with this new law is that it cannot be started because of the emperor's strong support. Therefore, Lu Zhongtian and Wu Chunlai could only remain silent and brake quietly. Although they watched the Fa-changing faction rise up and make a lot of trouble, Lu Zhongtian and Wu Chunlai could only stay on the sidelines.
Of course, there are still some small actions to be done, such as gathering local negativity about the new law. The news was summarized, and Guo Chong reported the situation of the government office on the third day and sent it to all the government offices in the capital under the political affairs hall, causing some public opinion. For example, collecting the old backgrounds of a large number of officials promoted by the reformers, and finding out black materials to impeach and prevent the appointment, so as to prove that Yan Fang and the two did not investigate their employment. But these things can only be regarded as beating the side drum, and they cannot stop the general trend of changing the law at all.
Wu Chunlai was a little depressed and a little discouraged. He believes that if measures are not taken, Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru will sooner or later ride on Lu Xianghe and poop and pee on his head. Especially himself, who once played "Ten Sins" to impeach the two of them, and when the time comes, he is not the first to be stabbed. Therefore, he is extremely dissatisfied with the current situation. Although he secretly instigated and arranged a number of mass incidents at the local level, specifically aimed at the implementation of the new law, these seem to have had little effect.
But Lu Zhongtian was very calm. He told Wu Chunlai to be steady. This is the time to fight for patience. Lu Zhongtian has seen a lot of this kind of situation where cutting-edge officials are favored. It looks lively and full of flowers, but in fact, it can't withstand the baptism of a storm. They were waiting for the moment when the storm hit. When the tide recedes, it is clear which people are wearing pants and which are naked.
Moreover, Lu Zhongtian came to a conclusion after observing the trend of the implementation of the new law. The fanatical faction of officials who changed the law so unscrupulously implemented the new law in various parts of the Great Zhou Dynasty that the nouveau riche who were empty-eyed would sooner or later annoy some people, and sooner or later there would be a leak. Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru failed to control the methods and emotions of the reformers, and instead of letting them calm down, they had a feeling of using their passions to fuel the fire. This is profoundly wrong. The result of this is to make these people under him more and more invincible, and this is bound to be a big problem.
Facts have proved that Lu Zhongtian's judgment was correct. When Wu Chunlai came to Lu Zhongtian's mansion with the news that King Guo Bing of Liang drowned Kang Zizhen, the first sentence was to sigh with a long bow: "Jiang is still old and spicy." Lu Xiangzhi's words were really true. ”
Liang Wang Guo Bing killed Kang Zizhen, no matter from which point of view, this is great news for Lu Zhongtian and Wu Chunlai. They know that the turning point has arrived. Kang Zizhen's death will inevitably make waves and will inevitably lead to a series of consequences.
There are two options before them at the moment. The first is to stand on the side of Guo Bing, the king of Liang, to exonerate him and keep Guo Bing. In that case, it would be a huge blow to Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru. They can't even keep their own Fa-changing people, their prestige will inevitably be greatly reduced, their dignity will be lost, and the confidence of those under them will inevitably 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 will definitely become the vanguard of the attack on the Fa-Changing faction in the future.
The second option is to fall into the well and take advantage of his illness to kill him. This is the best time to bring down the Liang Palace. As long as he adds fuel to the fire, he will give Guo Bing, the king of Liang, a big hat that has no court and obstructs the new law. With the fierce reaction of the reformers, it is almost a foregone conclusion to overthrow King Liang. The advantage of this is that, first, it can solve this old enemy who has been on bad terms with Lu Zhongtian for many years, and secondly, it can conform to the overall situation and the emperor's inner thoughts. Thirdly, it can make a complete break between the Reformers and the royal family and nobles, and give the Reformers another powerful enemy. It can be described as a strategy to kill three birds with one stone.
After weighing it again and again, Lu Zhongtian and Wu Chunlai believe that the second option is undoubtedly the best. Kill three birds with one stone, kill without blood. The pot is the back of the law-changing faction, and you only need to speak from the perspective of the fairness of the so-called court law. The most important thing is that it must be in accordance with the will of God. The attitude of the saint towards King Liang can also be seen by a blind person. And the law-changing faction seemed to be arrogant because of this, but it provoked the huge opponent of the imperial relatives and relatives, and took a step closer to their strange path.
For Lu Zhongtian personally, eliminating his long-standing enemies is actually not the happiest thing for him, and his happiest thing is actually in the future. Obviously, in the future competition for the position of the crown prince, Liang Wangfu will stand on his opposite. In the matter of establishing the crown prince, the opinions of the royal family and nobles are undoubtedly very 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. This is what Lu Zhongtian is most happy about.
All in all, all factions and people in the capital quickly found their positions and made the most beneficial decision after the news of Kang Zizhen's drowning by Guo Bing reached the capital. The Manchu civil and military forces were almost unanimous in their belief that this time the Liang king's actions must be punished. This view is one-sided, and it seems that Guo Bing, the king of Liang, is in danger of disaster this time.
……
In the early morning, Lin Jue woke up comfortably. After months of displacement, today in his own home, Lin Jue sleeps the most restfully and soundly, and also sleeps the most sweetly.
But as soon as I opened my eyes, all kinds of affairs came one after another, and my mind was immediately full of things, and my mood suddenly became depressed again. Lu Wu came into the room to wait for Lin Jue to get up and wash, and in the face of Lu Wu's smile, Lin Jue's mood improved again. I went back to Beijing in the middle of the night last night, and I didn't say a few words, and I could see that Green Dance had a thousand words to say, but this was not the time. only hugged her waist when Green Dance was waiting for her to change her clothes, which was a little comfort.
The sugar cake and millet porridge in the hall have been arranged, which is undoubtedly the handiwork of Lu Wu. Lin Jue grabbed the sugar cake and took a bite, it was crispy and fragrant, and the sugar juice in it was full of mouthful, and he suddenly sighed, closed his eyes and shook his head in satisfaction.
"Life can have this moment, what more can the husband ask for? Eating sugar cakes made by Green Dance, drinking millet porridge boiled by Green Dance, I don't change it for a fairy. Lin Jue praised.
Midori covered her mouth and giggled, although Childe's words were obviously exaggerated, she just liked it when she listened to it. Childe is still the same boy who loves to eat rice porridge made of sugar cakes baked by himself, even if he no longer has to eat these simple things now, he still likes to eat them. In fact, Childe doesn't seem to have changed at all.
"As long as the son loves to eat, Green Dance will make sugar cakes for the son for a lifetime and boil porridge for a lifetime. I'm afraid that my son will get tired of eating and won't like to eat. Midori laughed.
Lin Jue laughed and said, "How is it possible? I can't get tired of eating it in my life, and I will eat it in my next life. ”
Midori Dance was even happier, and just as she was about to speak, the little princess walked in from outside. Early in the morning, the little princess got up and went out for a walk in the yard, which was her daily homework, and it was said that it was for the sake of the children. The stable woman of the palace said that the fetal position of the child must be correct, otherwise there will be great danger. And if you want to have a positive fetal position, getting up early every day and taking a walk is the best way to adjust, so the little county lord has already begun to prepare for production.
When the little county lord came in, he smiled and said, "Early in the morning, I listened to your vows here, sweet words." It's really enviable. ”
Green Dance was busy blushing and didn't dare to speak, and the little county lord smiled: "Green Dance girl, I'm not jealous, you don't have a lot of heart." It's just a casual joke. ”
Green Dance hurriedly said: "How dare I be careless about the words of the county lord's sister, if I have anything wrong with my words, the county lord's sister should also admonish." ”
The little county lord smiled: "Then I don't dare." What admonition you say, I will not mention it in the future. In the future, we will discuss and do something. ”
Green Dance was a little dazed when she heard this, since they met last night, she always felt that the little county lord spoke strangely, and she didn't know what she had done wrong, and she always felt as if there was a bit of a gap.
Seeing this, Lin Jue smiled and said, "Let's all sit down and have breakfast, I have to eat and go out." ”
The little county lord sniffed and said, "It's so fragrant." I'm really hungry. ”
Lin Jue stepped forward to help her to take a seat, and Lu Wu hurriedly served a bowl of porridge to the little county lord, and sandwiched a piece of sugar cake wrapped in gauze and sent it to the little county lord. The little county lord thanked him and took it, took a bite delicately, and praised it repeatedly.
"Delicious, delicious. No wonder the husband said that he was greedy for this, and it was really delicious. ”
Lu Wu smiled: "Sister County Lord, I haven't eaten any delicacies from the mountains and seas, what is this?" ”
Lin Jue said with a smile: "It is precisely because I have eaten all the delicacies of the mountains and seas that I know that in fact, this simple sugar cake coarse grain is sweeter." It's called going back to basics. ”
Everyone laughed, and the little county lord put down the sugar cake and asked, "Is the husband going to the yamen today?" When are you going to see my mother and brother? ”
Lin Jue said: "I must go to the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion first, I haven't returned for several months, I don't know what happened to the Yamen." If there is no accident, you can only get out at noon. Don't worry. I know it. ”
The little county lord sighed lightly and said, "I can only worry about my husband, I am anxious, but I can't do anything." Husband, Vile pleases you. ”
Lin Jue smiled: "My own family, why do you say these kind words? ”
The little county lord paused, and suddenly his eyes were a little rosy. Lin Jue hurriedly asked the reason, and the little county lord said softly: "I had a nightmare last night, it's really ...... It's horribly tight. I didn't wake you up when I saw you asleep, I always felt ...... It seems to be a bad omen. ”
Lin Jue frowned and said, "The dream is not real, it's just that you think too much about it." Don't think about it. At this time, you should meditate and recuperate. ”
The little county lord sighed: "I don't know how to recuperate quietly, but...... How can I calm down? My heart was churning and I was anxious. I really don't know what to do. You don't know about last night's nightmare, it's really ...... It's horrible, it's horrible. ”
The little county lord frowned, his face full of sadness. It was the first time Lin Jue had seen the appearance of the little county lord, even if he had a quarrel with her like that at the beginning, he had never seen the little county lord so weak. It can be seen that this incident has brought a heavy psychological burden to the little county lord.
