Zhu Shiyang knew that he was uneasy and kind, and he loved to work against himself, so he sneered and said: "I can be promoted whoever I am happy, there is no reason." ”

Who knew that Lu Wenyuan said: "That Weichen has the courage to ask the emperor to withdraw the edict." ”

Zhu Shiyang was stunned, he wanted to know the emperor's golden words, how could he take back the words he said? At that moment, he raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Ridiculous! A gentleman's words are still difficult to chase, not to mention that I am the emperor, how can there be any reason to take it back?"

Lu Wenyuan said unhurriedly: "The emperor's edict has not yet been issued by the ministry, so it is too late to take it back now, and it is not without reason that Weichen persuaded the emperor to withdraw the order." As he spoke, he reached out and took out Zhao Yongning's performance assessment record from his arms and presented it to Zhu Shiyang: "Your Majesty, please see, this is the performance assessment record of Zhao Yongning in the Criminal Department, he has been in office for three years, and he has won the first place in the assessment every year. ”

Zhu Shiyang gritted his teeth and said coldly: "If you don't accept it, you have to accept it." I am the emperor, if anyone dares to talk about it, they will be dragged out and beheaded immediately. ”

Lu Wenyuan said: "The emperor's dragon is powerful and intimidating the world, naturally no one dares to talk about it." But if you don't say it, it doesn't mean you don't want to. Can the emperor control the population and the hearts of the people?"

Zhu Shiyang was speechless for a while, and Lu Wenyuan continued: "Since ancient times, those who have achieved great things have paid attention to the right time, place and people, and the right time and place cannot be forced, but this person has a lot to do with the person who has achieved the thing himself. As soon as the emperor's edict is issued, it will only make the hearts of the loyal people cold, and the people who deceive the world and steal their names will see an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity, and they will all take advantage of the situation to enter.

A remarkable, resounding. At this time, Fan Zhefu had already come with Gui Xi and was standing under the porch not far away, waiting for the emperor to summon him. This conversation was listened to by him word for word, and he only said that this Lu Wenyuan was really bold, and even the current emperor dared to contradict it. At that moment, he pulled Gui Xi, who was trembling on the side, and asked quietly: "Father-in-law Gui, what is the origin of this Lu Wenyuan?

Gui Xi cried and said with a sad face: "The slave and maid don't know very well, but last time I vaguely heard the secretary of the ministry say that what kind of Jinshi of Tianxi was five years old, and later he did the imperial history of Zhejiang Dao, and because he annoyed the emperor, he was moved to the head of the ministry and beat ......."

Fan Zhefu understood. The last time the emperor scolded him, it was spread in the previous dynasty, of course he also heard about it, at that time he only felt that the name Lu Wenyuan was familiar, it seemed that he had heard it before, but he couldn't remember it, and he didn't have a clue for a while, so he didn't take it to heart. Now that he heard Tianxi for five years, he remembered an old incident from the past, and all the thoughts that couldn't be strung together were suddenly connected, and his heart suddenly brightened.

Fan Zhefu forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart and thought carefully for a while, and gradually had a plan in his heart. When he looked up again, his eyes were already covered with a deep haze, and he said Yan Yong, Yan Yong, let me meet Lu Wenyuan here this time, and your death time has arrived.

It turns out that even though this Fan Zhefu is in a high position and has hands and eyes, he will inevitably have political enemies in the DPRK, and Yan Yong is the biggest of them. Yan Yong was of the same rank as him, and served as a scholar in the cabinet and a chamberlain in the Ministry of Rites. For many years, due to their different political views, the two have always been incompatible and secretly quarreled with each other. After the funeral of the first emperor, Zhu Shiyang ascended the throne, ignored the government all day long, and lived arrogantly. As time goes by, grievances and grievances, big and small, accumulate, and both of them regard each other as a thorn in the flesh, and they can't wait to pull it out quickly.

Later, Fan Zhefu got face in front of Zhu Shiyang, and gradually had the momentum to overwhelm Yan Yong, but Yan Yong is an old fox, he does things without leakage, does not leave a handle, and the attack on Fan Zhefu is even more tricky, clean and neat, so although he was suppressed very hard, he was not to be knocked down, but Fan Zhefu was even more uncomfortable because of this, and he was like a fish in his throat all day long, looking for an opportunity, just to get rid of Yan Yong.

Now that Lu Wenyuan appeared, Fan Zhefu suddenly felt that victory was in sight, and the origin of this had to start from the palace test in Tianxi's fifth year.

The palace examination is the last round of the imperial examination, which aims to distinguish the ranking of Jinshi, and should be presided over by the emperor himself, but Zhu Shiyang is not even in the court, so how can he come forward to preside over the palace examination, so he casually sent Yan Yong to implement it on his behalf.

Although Yan Yong is shrewd, he is actually a person with a small amount of energy and jealousy of the virtuous, which is why he has not been able to defeat Fan Zhefu for many years. However, in the palace examination that year, Lu Wenyuan was among the best in Fang 19, but he was still outstanding, and he was almost the best candidate for the champion of the year. Yan Yong was naturally uncomfortable when he saw it, Lu Wenyuan was also too young and straightforward at the time, and he asked where the emperor had gone before the palace exam began, which clearly questioned Yan Yong's identity as the chief examiner. Yan Yong has always been upright and self-controlled, how could he stand this humiliation, he was furious on the spot, and made it difficult for Lu Wenyuan in every way during the palace examination, and even lowered his ranking from the top 1 to the thirteenth place in the top three, and promoted Fu Qian, who should have been the top eye, to be the champion of the year.

Later, this incident caused a storm in the court, and it was very lively for a while. Yan Yong's narrow-minded nature can be regarded as being exposed to the extreme, many people have secretly complained for Lu Wenyuan, but once the ranking of the palace test is determined, it cannot be changed, and Emperor Zhu Shiyang doesn't care about it, so it will gradually fade after a while.

Now that Fan Zhefu is thinking about it, Lu Wenyuan can have today's situation, in fact, it is all thanks to Yan Yong. As smart as he is, he won't not understand that he has been trapped in a place all these years, and he finally saw the emperor but was beaten instead, in fact, it was all the evil consequences of Yan Yong's actions back then, plus now he is on an errand under Fu Qian, seeing that Fu Qian's current situation should have been obtained by himself, how can he not be more angry? This resentment alone is enough to become a sharp weapon to bring down Yan Yong.

As soon as Fan Zhefu thought of this, he strengthened his belief in taking Lu Wenyuan as his wings, and saw that the dispute between the emperor and Lu Wenyuan was becoming more and more intense, and he was considering whether to come forward to mediate, but he heard the emperor break off: "The thief is a rebel, I am really impatient to live, come on, drag me out and fight to death!"

Fan Zhefu was shocked when he heard this, and the wings he was just about to buy were about to be lost in the hands of the emperor, how could he not be in a hurry, and hurriedly turned out of the invisible porch, but saw that the two guards had already pushed Lu Wenyuan to the ground with a thick bowl of staff. Fan Zhefu hurriedly took a few steps, knelt down in front of Zhu Shiyang, and shouted: "The emperor is angry!"

Zhu Shiyang was stunned for a moment when he saw Fan Zhefu at first sight, then came back to his senses and continued to say angrily: "Why did you come? I ask you, do you want to do it anymore, and you put this kind of thing into the palace again and again, which makes me unhappy!" While pointing at the two guards: "What are you still doing in a daze? Quickly beat me hard!"

The two guards crackled. Fan Zhefu hurriedly bowed to the ground and said: "The emperor calmed his anger and let him into the palace, it was the negligence of the ministers, but Lord Lu is not guilty of this, the emperor is going to beat people to death if he beats him like this!"

Zhu Shiyang said angrily: "You still intercede for him? If you say it again, even you will be beaten!"

Fan Zhefu didn't dare to say anything for a while. Although he has a face in front of Zhu Shiyang, Zhu Shiyang is really a powerful character who is not recognized by his six relatives, and the ruthlessness and suspicion that the emperor should have are not lacking, which is really unprovoked.

The two guards kept fighting, and Lu Wenyuan's coat was already red. Fan Zhefu secretly looked at Zhu Shiyang's face, and after a long delay, Lu Wenyuan's back was already red, and his breath began to be disordered. Fan Zhefu knew that if he fought for another moment and a half, Lu Wenyuan's life would probably be confessed, so he hurriedly raised his head and glanced at Gui Xi, who was standing behind the emperor, in a concealed manner. That Gui Xi was also clever, and it didn't take long for him to understand what Fan Zhefu meant, and while the emperor was not paying attention, he slipped into the palace, and after a while, he even coaxed the little boy to the door.
