Storm (8b)

Lu Xiufu's reaction surprised everyone.

In Zhao Yu's impression, his enlightenment teacher has always been a staunch opponent of the New Deal, and even when the imperial court was at its weakest, he still bravely stood on the opposite side of Wen Tianxiang. In the past few years, the crude and crude nature of the New Deal, the shamelessness of businessmen and officials, and the ** issued by the people in the market after they went bankrupt due to the surge in the cost of living in the city were all the first to be reflected through Lu Xiufu's pen. In the past few years, the entire Great Song Dynasty dared to openly criticize the mistakes of the New Deal and denounce Wen Tianxiang for drinking water to quench his thirst, and there was only one Lu Fuzi.

However, at the critical moment when Zhao Hao tried to take power and set things right, Lu Fuzi chose to stand on the side of the New Deal.

After all, he was only a teenager and a half-year-old child, and the young emperor Zhao Yu couldn't do it without changing his color when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him. Ignoring the agreement with his cousin Yang Wan, he hurriedly ran back to the upper room, wrote a breakup edict as quickly as possible, and ordered the little eunuch Yue Qingyang to go to Chen Yizhong's mansion to inquire about what happened to Lu Xiufu under the guise of going out of the palace on an errand.

"I understand Junshi's temper, he will not fall into a dangerous situation. Saying these seemingly stiff words, I am just afraid that I will act rashly without waiting for a plan to be ready, and endanger the safety of the Holy One! Former Prime Minister Chen Yizhong got down the tea bowl and patiently explained to the little eunuch Yue Qingyang: "After Lord Le returns to the palace, please let the saint rest assured, everything is under control, and there will be results in a few days!" ”

Although the other party was just a little eunuch who served food and daily life, Lu Xiufu still called him an adult with great respect, and sat opposite him to drink tea as an equal. This arrangement is obviously very temperamental to Yue Qing, and after a few words, Lord Le's anxious mood calmed down, holding the teacup, and said while drinking: "That, that's, the prime minister's clever calculation, the saint has always been trustworthy." ”

"I don't dare to be clever, but the change of events has not yet gotten rid of the old man's grasp!" Chen Yizhong seemed to have expected that Lu Xiufu would "live up" to the emperor's grace, and said very calmly.

"Lord Lu is too upright, will he leak the news to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion?" Yue Qingyang arched his hand and asked uneasily. He has just turned sixteen years old, although his scheming is deeper than Zhao Hao, after all, he has not experienced any big storms, and he is inevitably very worried when he makes such a big mistake.

"Does Lord Le think that Prime Minister Wen has no eyes and ears in Quanzhou City? We are so frequent that most of the governor's mansion still don't know anything? Chen Yizhong's face suddenly showed a bit of a mysterious smile, and he mocked in a low voice.

"That, that..." Yue Qingyang's hand holding the tea bowl immediately trembled, and a few drops of hot tea splashed down the edge of the tea bowl onto his arm. The wrist was painful, the fingers were even more unstable, and in a moment, half a cup of good fragrant tea was fed to the cloth robe.

"That, that, that. If Prime Minister Wen wants to retain the name of a loyal minister, he cannot punish people's crimes without evidence. The new law stipulates that no one can be convicted without evidence, and anyone has the right to discuss political affairs. Chen Yizhong's smile was a little mocking, "We are now the grass of the son, the shield of the attacker, as long as there is no actual action, Prime Minister Wen will have no way to take everyone!" ”

"If so, in this way, our family will be relieved." Yue Qingyang was embarrassed that he lost his temper in front of Chen Yizhong, stood up, and said with shame while wiping the residual tea on the cloth robe with his sleeve.

"It's not for you to be reassured, it's useless for you to rest assured! The key is that you have to reassure Your Majesty, Jiangnan celebrities, the entire Confucianism, and the people of the world are all on the side of Banzai! Chen Yizhong stood up, clapped his hands a few times, and called in a maidservant. Go, wait for Lord Le to change into a silk robe, and ask for good Suzhou silk fabrics! ”

"Let, how can our family let the prime minister break the bank!" Yue Qingyang waved his hand again and again, grinning and thanking him. The war has been going on for many years, and the people's livelihood in all parts of the south of the Yangtze River has withered. Top luxury goods such as Suzhou silk and lake umbrellas have long been extinct. When he went to Chen Yizhong's mansion, he got such a valuable gift, which couldn't help but make him overjoyed.

Chen Yizhong has been in officialdom for many years, and he has always had a hand in dealing with eunuchs. These people are physically disabled, so their desire for things outside the body such as money is even greater than that of ordinary people. Forming them with small favors and small favors can play a key role in whether the Chen officials can be invincible in the court in the future. Therefore, he was not polite to Yue Qingyang, in addition to the silk robe, he ordered the servant to bring a bunch of jade wine glasses, mutton fat jade Buddha's hand and other high-priced and inconspicuous luxury goods, into a bag, and stuffed into Yue Qingyang's arms with his own hands, "These are all things that the old man has accumulated over the years, and when he is older, he has no spirit of playing." You can use it as an ornament, and serve Banzai every day, and add some elegance! ”

"Let's thank you, thank you!" Yue Qingyang's mouth cracked to his ears unconsciously, and he said with a smile.

"Come back early, tell Banzai not to be anxious, everything is going according to plan!" Chen Yizhong restrained his smile, grabbed Yue Qingyang's arm, and personally sent him to the gate.

The porter led Yue Qingyang's mount, and the little eunuch left with a large package. When he raised the whip, he didn't forget to pinch it with his hand, lest the contents of the package accidentally fall into the Chen family.

Looking at the distant figure of the little eunuch, Chen Yizhong shook his head slightly, turned around, and let out a light sigh. It was only at this moment of turning that a true expression appeared on his face. It was an angry and helpless iron blue, as cold as a piece of iron in winter, without a trace of life at all.

"Long live the people around you, it seems that they are not available!" A man flashed out of the porter, muffled to a reminder.

"It's not just unusable, it's greedy and slippery at a young age, it's just the regeneration of Colliers, Zhang Rang and the like. Anyway, we are alone at this time, and we have to rely on their strength. After Banzai is in power, find a way to expel him! Chen Yizhong said with a dark face.

At this time, he only felt haggard. Lu Xiufu's "betrayal" gave him a blow. In front of the people sent by Zhao Yu, he had to pretend to be confident, so as not to make the young emperor lose his breath and retreat halfway. But in front of his henchmen, this empty shelf could no longer be supported, and his steps were vain for a while, as if the strength of his whole body had been drained.

"In that case, why don't you hold back for the time being and look for another opportunity?" The person who came stretched out his hand to support Chen Yizhong's weak body and whispered advice.

"The new policy has only been implemented for a few years, and Lu Fuzi has already looked forward to it. If we don't hurry up, once the thieves succeed in recovering the entire Jiangnan, how can the emperor have a chance to return to power, and where will there be a place for us in the world. Huchen, look at my bones, how many days can I wait! ”

"Oh!" The man who was holding Chen Yizhong replied sullenly. Born in a low-level official, he has never been able to understand the affairs of the court, so he can't solve Chen Yizhong's worries.

The emperor has not returned to power, in fact, it has little to do. For example, just like now, the Great Song Dynasty is thriving day by day. Deep down, he thought. But the thoughts in my heart didn't dare to show them in front of Chen Yizhong. This seemingly weak old man has a very strong ability in his body, if he has no intention of annoying him, he will get into trouble, not to mention, the matter will spread, and the people in the rivers and lakes will also say that he is ungrateful, and he is a shameless person who does not repay his gratitude.

Chen Yizhong rested his head on the strong man's shoulder and walked forward with difficulty. The sound of a powerful heartbeat coming from the back of his head made him very envious, after all, the other party was a martial artist and had a strong physique. Unlike when he is just over half a hundred years old, his physical condition is not as good as day by day. Thinking of the problem of physical strength, he vaguely had a feasible strategy in his heart, and followed this line of thought, and the more he looked around, the brighter the future he found.

Leaving the support of the strong man, Chen Yizhong's only son took a few steps forward, and suddenly, in a very low voice, asked: "Huchen, if someone is as greedy for power and misinformation as Jia Yidao was back then, do you dare to kill him in Dao!" ”

"Are you planning to send Huchen to assassinate Wenxiang?" The strong man's footsteps were startled by Chen Yizhong's words, and his footsteps couldn't be restrained, almost knocking Chen Yizhong to the ground.

"Yes, the traitor is in charge, I don't know if Yu Yong, the hero of Zheng who assassinated Jia Nidao back then, is still there?" Chen Yizhong's arm propped back, and after stretching his body some distance, he asked with a smile.

On his mottled old face, his smile was mysterious. It seems to be a little mocking, and at the same time a little contemptuous.

The strong man's hand rolled up suddenly, his body stiffened, and his gaze shot at Chen Yizhong's face like a knife.

His name is Zheng Huchen. Back then, he once risked the disaster of exterminating the clan to kill the traitor Jia Nidao's entire family on the way to exile, and the people of the rivers and lakes called him a hero. Later, some people impeached him for killing doctors without permission and violating the ancestral system. Chen Yizhong was ordered to send him to prison, and openly tortured him, lying to the outside that he had been tortured but died, but secretly used the prisoners he had killed to secretly exchange him. Since then, Zheng Huchen, who knows how to repay his kindness, stayed by Chen Yizhong's side and became the latter's personal guard.

"Could it be that Huchen is still reading the eulogy that the thief wrote to you?" Chen Yizhong met Zheng Huchen's gaze, his face full of calmness.

When Wen Tianxiang heard rumors that Zheng Huchen died, he personally wrote a couplet to mourn him. Zheng Huchen still clearly remembers every word in it, "To be a righteous person, you are responsible for the famous teacher; When he goes to Chengren, he is always righteous and serious. ”

When the whole world said that he could be killed, his behavior was affirmed in the name of the prime minister. For a hero, this not only represents an ordinary mourning, but also a kind of acquaintance and recognition. But which is more important, the grace of knowing or the virtue of saving lives, Zheng Huchen has no answer in his heart.

His fists clenched and opened, opened and clenched, and his knife-like gaze darkened little by little, and finally, he lowered his head and replied: "Huchen doesn't dare, it's just, it's just that Wenxiang's crime is not obvious." If Huchen kills him like this, it will be inevitable, it will be ......"

"It's inevitable that you will be laughed at by the heroes of the rivers and lakes, right?" Chen Yizhong's body regained some strength, and wisps of blood red appeared at the junction of his neck and head. "By the time his crime is revealed, the world will already have a surname, what can you and I do? Huchen, it's rare that you don't see it, as long as the Great Song Dynasty can't restore the old land of Bian, Luo for a day, the thief can hold the authority of the world with a clear and honest eye. Therefore, he will definitely not really go on the Northern Expedition. dragged on day by day, until everyone in the world only knew that the governor didn't know that there was still an emperor, and who else could pull him down from the position of prime minister. Huchen, you have to distinguish between this righteousness and selfishness! ”

Zheng Huchen's body shook again, following Chen Yizhong for so many years, it was the first time that the latter had spoken to him in such a serious tone. Righteousness and selfishness, if defending the royal power is really a great righteousness, I should indeed take over this task without hesitation. But does the emperor necessarily represent righteousness, and in the name of righteousness, how many crimes are committed in secret?

Chen Yizhong knew that Zheng Huchen was now at war with heaven and man in his heart, and he didn't dare to push him too much. Holding on to the wall, he walked towards the inner hall and sighed: "The Great Song Dynasty has been a monk for three hundred years, and in the end, how many people can really be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty?" hateful Chen has the intention to kill the thief, the intention to kill the thief, but he has no power to return to the sky. Huchen, you don't have to be reluctant, Chen has been an official for many years, and his family background is also rich. Even if you don't want to fight for your life, you can recruit a few strong men to ......"

The more Chen Yizhong spoke, the more excited he became, and later his eyes were full of scorching fire. The black spots on his hands, neck, and face were all red, as if there was a flame about to ignite his body.

Zheng Huchen listened silently, he didn't know what made the two prime ministers of the Great Song Dynasty so incompatible. He didn't know if Wen Tianxiang was really as Chen Yizhong described, a traitor who harbored evil intentions and rebelled. Over the years, he has seen and heard the fact that Wen Tianxiang led a lone army to fight in all directions and saved the Great Song Dynasty in a crisis. But while saving the Great Song Dynasty, Wen Tianxiang also destroyed the traditions of the Great Song Dynasty and subverted the order of the Great Song Dynasty.

A Great Song that has lost its tradition, is it still a Great Song Dynasty?

A chaotic Huaxia, can it still be called Huaxia?

Countless questions flashed in front of Zheng Huchen's eyes. Finally, he made his own decision in his heart, and after giving a salute to Chen Yizhong, he asked with a solemn attitude that he had never had before: "My lord, if Huchen did this for my lord, I don't know how sure my lord is to lead the soldiers of the three armies to expel the Tartars?" ”

"If you teach Chen to lead the army, it will be easy to restore the old mountains and rivers!" In the dark, Chen Yizhong's very affirmative answer came.

Alcoholic note: In the Song Dynasty of our time and space, Jia Rudao was autocratic and misguided and corrupt, although he was dismissed, according to the ancestral system of the Song Dynasty that did not kill civil officials, he could only be degraded, not condemned to death. Zheng Huchen killed him on the way to the escort, which violated the interests of the entire scholar class, so Chen Yizhong was imprisoned and died in prison. Reading history so far, I yearn for the life of being a corrupt official in the Song Dynasty.
