Chapter Ninety-Five: The Madness of Power
Zhou He came to Lu Mansion.
It wasn't his first time here, but it was the most nervous and unfamiliar one.
The Lu Mansion is very deserted, there are not many families and maidservants, and there are few people in the huge mansion.
Zhou He, under the guidance of Lu Hongyou, came to Lu Dafang's study.
Zhou He looked at Lu Dafang, who was as silent as always, motionless like a mountain, raised his hand slightly, and said, "Xianggong Lu, my mother asked me to come." ”
Lu Dafang was obese, his beard was white, he looked at Zhou He, and said in a hoarse voice, "I know." ”
Zhou He didn't hear the heavy and low feeling from Lu Dafang's voice, but was a little vicissitudes of life, weak, and shocked, and said: "Lu Xianggong, Niangniang is really angry." ”
Lu Dafang looked at Zhou He, was silent for a while, and said, "Go back and tell Niangniang, I know." ”
Zhou He thought a lot along the way and had a lot to say, but he couldn't say anything at this time.
After a long time, he raised his hand and said, "Please." ”
Lu Dafang didn't speak again, and he didn't even mean to send it, or let his son send it.
Zhou He was worried about the Empress Dowager Gao, so he couldn't care about this, and hurriedly left the Lu Mansion.
Lu Hongyou looked at his father with a solemn expression.
He knew his father well, he knew that his father was going to do something, and it was intense, adventurous!
Lu Dafang glanced up at him and said, "Go and call them all." ”
Lu Hongyou wanted to open his mouth to speak several times, but finally answered and turned to go out.
Not long after, in the living room of the Lu Mansion, many people came one after another.
Each one was dressed in regular clothes, but each one looked solemn and did not smile.
Lu Hongyou and Qin Bing have been greeting and arranging seats.
Lu Hongyou silently remembered on the side, and his expression couldn't help but become solemn.
The Privy Counsellor signed the academy secretary Wang Yansuo, the counselor doctor, Zhu Guangting, the Taizhong doctor, the Shangguan Jun of the Fuwen Pavilion, the servant Lu Shengqing of the door, the servant of the Ministry of Officials Deng Xunwu, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Fan Chun, and the household servant Yang Wei......
Almost all of the people who came were above the fourth grade, all of them were important members of the imperial court, and any one of them was released to make people look sideways, not to mention, there were more than 40 people!
Outside the door, there are still people rushing over.
Lu Mansion suddenly made such a big move, which naturally alarmed Kaifeng City, and I don't know how many people looked at Lu Mansion in a panic.
Pham Chun Yan Mansion.
The butler stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Lord, the fourth uncle has gone." ”
The 'fourth uncle' he said was Fan Chunren's fourth brother, Fan Zhongyan's fourth son, Fan Chun.
Fan Chunren was expressionless and waved his hand.
The Mansion of Van Barryok.
Fan Bailu was playing chess with someone, and when he heard the news, he got up directly and walked away.
Su Song, who was busy deploying troops in the Privy Council, listened silently for a while and did not speak.
It was Zhao Xu, hearing the news, sitting on the chair of the vertical arch hall, looking up at the door, his expression motionless, his eyes cold.
In the Cining Palace, I don't know how many people came and went, but the Empress Dowager Gao was suddenly happy, summoned many harem concubines, and rarely pulled up a family routine.
Lu Fu.
There are more than 80 people, large and small, in the government and the opposition, there are officials and celebrities, honorable ministers, covering almost all aspects!
There were so many people that it was difficult to remain silent, and many of them spoke generously and fiercely.
"The residual poison of the 'royal party' is not shallow to harm the country, and we must not tolerate it!"
"What the Wang Party did is still vivid. Greed and lawlessness, arrogance, harm to the common people, power-hungry, occupy the court, exclude dissidents, and do not compromise means, how many people have died at their hands! ”
"Villain! A bunch of villains! For the sake of the world, for the sake of the country, we must not be compatible! ”
"How can I be ruined by a group of villains for a hundred years in the Song Dynasty!"
"The official family is deceived by the villain, and I don't know its sinisterness, we should work together, please understand the official family, right and wrong, good and evil, merit and wrong!"
There weren't many people talking to a large group of people, only seven or eight, but in the small hall, it still seemed to be subdued and frustrated, and the words were unreasonable.
Most of them were silent, their brows furrowed, their expressions changing, their eyes flickering.
I don't know how long it took, Lu Dafang slowly walked in through the side door.
The group of people hurriedly gathered their bodies, raised their hands in unison and said, "Zaifu." ”
Lu Dafang stood in the middle, his eyes swept over the large group of people, his voice was hoarse, and he said plainly: "You all know the matter, I don't force you, if you want to sign, just come over and take a look, and sign." ”
Lu Dafang said, took out a notebook, and put it next to the pen and ink on the table behind him.
Qin Bing was the first to step forward, he didn't even look at it, he directly opened the notebook, and on the signature page at the front, he neatly wrote the word 'Qin Bing'.
Deng Xunwu looked at Lu Dafang, then at the others, came to the table, flipped through the notebook, glanced at it a few times, and picked up the pen with Shen Se,
Then Lu Shengqing, he also glanced at it a few times and picked up the pen decisively.
The people in the room, one by one, some watched, some did not look, picked up the pen one after another, and signed on the signature page.
Qin Bing and Lu Hongyou were beside Lu Dafang, their faces were solemn, and they didn't know what they were thinking.
Lu Dafang lowered his eyes and waited until everyone finished writing, and then said: "After signing, go back to the book, I will send this transcript at the right time." ”
A group of people raised their hands in unison and said, "Obey Zaifu's orders." ”
More than 80 people raised their hands, and after speaking, many people wanted to say something, and finally left one after another.
Lu Hongyou looked at Lu Dafang, and stopped talking.
Lu Dafang turned to Qin Bing and said, "Take it, go and ask those people if you want to sign it." ”
Those few are the remaining ministers in the court, Su Song, Fan Chunren, Fan Chunchun and others.
Qin Bing picked up the thick notebook and said in a deep voice: "Yes!" ”
After speaking, he left the Lu Mansion.
Lu Dafang turned around and said, "Needless to say." ”
Lu Hongyou's mouth opened and he didn't say anything.
The people from the Lu Mansion came out, and the news spread everywhere again.
There are all kinds of discussions, boiling, and rumors are spreading.
Privy council.
Su Song arranged some things, sat on the chair, looked at the outside of the palace, and sighed softly.
Privy Counsellor Jiang Jing walked over quietly, bowed in front of him, and said, "Xianggong, why are you sighing?" ”
Su Song glanced at him and said, "Lu Dafang has done it." ”
Jiang Jing looked at Su Song, hesitated, and said, "Actually, the lower officials don't understand why the prime minister doesn't dissuade the official family." People all over the world have been suffering from the so-called change of law for a long time, and they deeply hate the royal party, why doesn't Xianggong express his position? ”
In fact, the so-called 'law change' has always been a matter for a few people. None of the reformers in history have had good results.
Reputations are ruined, families are ruined, almost without exception.
Su Song looked at the sky outside the palace, and said with rare emotion: "At the beginning, Sima Junshi wanted to abolish the new law, and I argued with him, but he didn't listen to it at all. Wang Jiefu is not useless, and now he has ruined it too much. ”
This kind of view has been very much from the beginning of Yuan You to the present, Jiang Jing is not surprised, and said: "Then, why is Lu Xianggong?" If he does this, he will definitely anger the official family, and the consequences are unpredictable. ”
Su Song was suddenly silent this time, and after a while, he said: "The family and the country are the affairs of the world, and the name before and after death." Wang Jiefu didn't care, he had to ask for it. ”
Jiang Jing pondered this sentence carefully, and said with understanding: "Xie Xianggong pointed out." ”
In Jiang Jing's view, the meaning of Su Song's words is very simple, Wang Anshi's reform and change of law is for the sake of his family and country, in order to get rid of the maladministration of the Great Song Dynasty, and to prosper for a long time, regardless of the slander before his death, and he does not care about the honor and disgrace behind him, or even the evaluation in the annals.
But Lu Dafang is different, Lu Dafang not only wants to be clear when he is alive, but also wants to leave a name in history after his death.
'Perhaps, they are also afraid that the people of the New Party will liquidate them......
Jiang Jing muttered 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 in the same way that they dealt with the 'New Party'.
Thinking like this, Jiang Jing couldn't help but turn in the direction of the vertical arch hall.
Lu Dafang and the others are in a ruined boat, fighting against the water, in the face of the surging waves like a huge wave of flying your courtiers, what will the officials do? Will it back down like Emperor Shenzong?
'This is the final fight, isn't it?' ’
Jiang Jing said secretly, after this time, either the official family will back down and give up the idea of changing the law; Or, Lu Dafang and others are completely out!
