At the same time as the drums were beaten, everyone knew that the political life of Lu Jiawen, the secretary of Taifu Temple, was about to end!

In fact, the forced demolition of a military camp occupied by civilians caused a fire, and "burning" two ordinary people could not be regarded as a big thing in a feudal dynasty. In the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were more civil officials who did bad things than this! But the problem is that Lu Jia asked that he was in trouble in Kaifeng Mansion at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

If he carried out forced demolition and death of a few ordinary people in the state capital outside the boundary of Kaifeng Mansion, it would not be a matter at all...... But Kaifeng Mansion is different!

Hundreds of ordinary people who had been in the "white residence" military camp for many years, carrying two charred corpses and tablets that were said to be martyrs of feudalism, cried and went to the outside of the Xuande Building to beat the Dengwen drum, and Lu Jiawen had actually been convicted.

The next three sessions (Kaifeng Mansion, Dali Temple and Yushitai) are all going through the motions - whether it is the right to send the king of Kaifeng Mansion, or Zhao Tingzhi in the imperial history, or Zhou Ding, the secretary of Dali Temple, it is impossible to exonerate Lu Jiawen and Lu Benzhi in the face of such conclusive evidence and such huge public anger.

Even after an in-depth investigation, they already knew that Lu Jiawen and Lu Benzhi were likely to be framed!

"Zixuan, hopeful wronged!"

In the study of Zeng Buxiang's mansion, An Tao, a member of the Privy Council who came to visit late at night, began to ask Lu Jia for his grievances as soon as he sat down.

"It's not stupid to look at it, but it's just to ask someone to set fire, how can I come forward at the same time? Isn't that a catch? Moreover, the dozen or so soldiers who set the fire were all hired temporarily, and they disappeared after setting the fire, and no one knew where they went. How could this be done without a black hand in charge? ”

An Tao's words are not wrong at all, Lu Jia can't be so stupid! And where did the soldiers who followed Lu Benzhi to set fire to them? The people of Kaifeng Mansion, Yushitai, and Dali Temple have checked and checked! And also found some clues - found that the command of the few van soldiers under the jurisdiction of Taifu Temple that day did hire a lot of temporary workers to make up the number.

And at least a dozen of these temporary workers disappeared into thin air after the incident! Several of them still disappeared with their families.

This is dozens or hundreds of people missing, where have so many people gone? How did you leave Kaifeng Mansion? Kaifeng Mansion didn't give them a road guide...... Without a guide, how do you pass the checkpoints along the way?

And what can make dozens or hundreds of people disappear out of thin air is definitely not ordinary people or organizations!

"Houqing," Zeng Bu frowned deeply, "who do you say is behind this?" ”

"Who else?" An Tao gritted his teeth, "Of course it's those three lucky villains...... Han Zhongyan is an honest man, there is no such means! ”

"You said Wu Haogu, Pan Xiao'an and Gao Yu?"

"That's them!" An Tao said, "These three villains are now not only trusted by the official family, but also rich and powerful, and they are the natives of Kaifeng Prefecture, and their relationships are intertwined, so it is not surprising that they can drive the ruffians and idlers." ”

"Do you have credentials?"

An Tao shook his head, "If there is a credential, how can you let Wangzhi's father and son suffer in the Yushitai Prison?" ”

Lu Jiawen and Lu Benzhi have now been arrested and sent to the Yushitai Prison to eat in prison, but they have not suffered any crimes, and the current Zhao Tingzhi is a general of the New Party, so why do they have to protect the father and son of the Lu family, right?

However, even if the father and son of the Lu family did not suffer much, their heads would not move, but An Tao and Zeng Bu were still angry.

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, only civilian officials have made military attaches to death or alive, when did the rules be reversed?

"Zixuan," An Tao gritted his teeth, "this matter can't be left like this!" ”

"Of course not!" Zeng Bu's face was also pale, and this time, the New Party really suffered a big loss.

If their opponent this time was Ersu, then Zeng Bu and An Tao would not be so annoyed, after all, Ersu are both civil officials from Jinshi, and they are opponents of the same level for the New Party.

But Wu Haogu, Pan Xiao'an, and Gao Yu are military attachés and fortunate villains...... The military attache overthrew the civil officials, fortunately hurt the jinshi, and the villain defeated the gentleman. This thing is unbearable even for aunts and uncles!

"Zixuan," An Tao said, "Let's explain the reason for the matter to the official family together and expose the three traitors Wu Haogu, Pan Xiao'an, and Gao Yu!" ”

Zeng Bu glanced at An Tao, shook his head and said, "Houqing! We can't be so reckless...... The official family protects the shortcomings, the three villains are treacherous and abnormal, and they are villains who can really do things for the official family! They can't be defeated by playing alone, and besides, they are still Han Zhongyan and Fan Chunli behind them. ”

Indeed, Wu Haogu, Pan Xiao'an, and Gao Yu, even if they have Zhao Ji to protect their shortcomings, as long as they do not have the help of Han Zhongyan and Fan Chunli, who are civil officials of the old party, they will still be defeated by Zeng Bu and An Tao one by one.

But with the support of Han Zhongyan and Fan Chunli, the three villains will not be drowned by the spittle of civil officials. Zeng Bu and An Tao have to be reasonable if they want to defeat them, and the referee who judges is unfortunately Song Huizong, who protects his shortcomings.

Therefore, it is no good for the New Party to entangle with these villains, because they simply lack the means to defeat these three fortunate villains.

Zeng Bu continued to say: "The most difficult of the three is Wu Haogu! The first emperor once regarded Wu Haogu and Ji Yi as famous ministers in the future, Su Zhe regarded Wu Haogu as the king of the old party, Jing Gong, and Fan Chunren and Cheng Yi regarded Wu Haogu as the great Confucian. It can be seen that this person is by no means an ordinary villain, but a villain who has the talent to govern the country.

And during this time, how many big things have he done for the official family and the imperial court? Jiehe Commercial Market has begun to take shape, half of the Duting Station sold for 1 million, not counting the opening of a big financial road for the imperial court, Cangzhou bought more than one million acres of land for the imperial knights as a professional field, and also opened a Yuntai School Palace for Su Dongpo to preside...... If he is from a Jinshi background and is dozens of years older, isn't he a famous minister who can keep pace with Wang Jinggong? ”

An Tao smiled bitterly: "If he were a jinshi, he wouldn't be able to do as many things." ”

Although the Song Dynasty emphasized civil affairs over military force, there were also many restrictions on civil officials. First of all, civil officials are not allowed to make a lot of money, even if it is legal gain, if they make too much, they will be impeached and greedy by the imperial history.

The second is that civilian officials are not allowed to directly get involved in the military power of the forbidden army, and Murong Wangwu has only 500 people in the Military Academy, and it is not completely controlled by him, so it still can't be opened now. By the way, now martial arts, he was also subordinate to the Privy Council back then...... Wu Haogu's "armor" raised in Jiehe has privately recruited so many imperial knights, if he were replaced by a civilian official, he would have been impeached and disgraced.

But as a military attache and fortunately, the same thing has been done by the Western Army, and it is even more excessive.

An Tao thought for a while, and then asked, "Zixuan, do you mean that we still have to defeat Han Zhongyan and Fan Xueli first?" ”

Zeng Bu said: "We must first protect Lu Wangzhi!" ”

"Security?" An Tao asked, "How to protect it?" ”

"Keep Lu Wangzhi's official body," Zeng Bu said, "only let Lu Benzhi carry all the charges and keep his old son." ”

An Tao nodded, "It's just that Lu Benzhi is suffering from this child......"

"It won't be too bitter," Zeng Bu said quietly, "The old man also has a way to settle him." ”

Zeng Bu is the prime minister after all, and he has been a privy adviser for many years, so there must be a way!

An Tao nodded lightly: "It seems that this is the only way." ”

Zeng Bu said again: "Then it is to separate Wu Haogu, Han Zhongyan, and Fan Chunli. ”

"Separated?"

Zeng Bu exhaled, "Yes! It's separated, so it's easy to deal with them one by one! ”

An Tao frowned: "How to divide it?" ”

Zeng Bu was silent for a while before he spit out four words, "People are terrible!" ”

"Terrible words? Zixuan, what are you going to do? ”

……

"Erlang, you tell me the truth, Lu Jia asked if it was framed for your eldest brother?"

At the same time, in Han Zhongyan's study, Han Xiangcheng was talking to his fast son-in-law Wu Haowen.

Similarly, Han Zhongyan, who has been up and down in officialdom for decades, is not a fool, of course he knows that Lu Jiawen asked someone to calculate. And it was not his old party gentleman who started it, it was naturally Wu Haogu, Pan Xiao'an and Gao Yu.

"Uncle Yue, I don't know about this matter." Wu Haowen shook his head, "My eldest brother, it's not so ruthless, right?" ”

"It doesn't matter if you're ruthless...... Han Zhongyan snorted, "Isn't it just that dozens of people were injured and two died?" But Lu Jia asked, Lu Benzhi is a civil official after all! ”

Fortunately, a few ordinary people have recently died, and Prime Minister Han doesn't care! But the noble civil officials were just like that, which is a bit of a bad rule.

"Father-in-law......

Han Zhongyan waved his hand: "Lu Jiawen is also a cool official, he has done a lot of evil, and now the wicked have their own wicked people."

But your eldest brother is too unruly! ”

Han Zhongyan's tone of voice had already relaxed, he was the leader of the civil officials after all!

"Uncle Yue," Wu Haowen thought for a moment, "when my eldest brother comes back, I will definitely talk to him." ”

"It's time to talk about it!" Han Zhongyan said, "Make it clear to him, don't take it as an example!" ”

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law understands."

Han Zhongyan said again: "You tell him again, if he wants to enter the hall, then take the Jinshi exam, this is not difficult, right?" If you become a civil official, this time is a good means! If it's a military attaché, it's a bad rule! ”

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law will definitely say it." Wu Haowen agreed again and again, he knew that his eldest brother did not have the literary talent of Zhongjinshi - in Confucianism, Wu Haogu was comparable to today's Hongru, which was recognized by Cheng Yi, Fan Chunren and Ersu, but the imperial examination was an article.

However, if an official family opens the back door in person, it is not difficult for his eldest brother to become a jinshi...... It's just that after winning the jinshi, you have to be converted into a civil servant, and you have to abide by the rules of a civil official!
