Seeing that the attitude of these two people was not good, Su Song sighed lightly and said, "I know what you mean, I will stop what should be stopped, you also saw it in the hall just now." ”

In the Zichen Hall not long ago, it was indeed Su Song's words three times and twice.

But in Erfan's view, this is just mud.

Fan Chunren's expression became more and more indifferent, and said, "If the official family changes the law again, what will you do?" ”

Su Song's crutches knocked on and tapped, but he did not answer.

Fan Chunren saw it and snorted coldly.

Fan Bailu looked at him directly and said, "Zaizhi, the prime minister is gone, the cardinal minister." ”

Fan Bailu made the word 'pivotal' a little heavier.

Su Song could hear that Er Fan was dissatisfied with his attitude, but he didn't say anything.

At their level, they can understand too much in one sentence, and too many tongues are useless.

The three of them came to the front of the Cining Palace, closed their mouths, and saw that there were guards guarding them, with different expressions, but they went in unimpeded.

Empress Dowager Gao reluctantly left the dormitory and met three people in the side hall.

After seeing the ceremony, Su Song sat on a chair, on crutches, and cherished words like gold as always.

Fan Chunren looked at the Empress Dowager Gao, and wanted to ask if she was under house arrest, and finally said, "Niangniang, everything is okay?" ”

Empress Dowager Gao already knew some of the things that happened in the Zichen Palace, looked at Fan Chunren, and said with emotion: "It's okay, it's hard work." ”

Fan Chunren listened, and wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to say it.

Fan Bailu asked directly: "Niangniang, has the official family made up their minds?" ”

Empress Dowager Gao looked at Fan Bailu, her expression was calm, and she did not speak.

In the end, she is a member of the old Song family, the empress dowager, even if she has a conflict with Zhao Xu, she can't say too white and lose face.

But if you don't speak, you are acquiescing.

Fan Chunren sat up straight and said: "The minister went to see the official family, and asked the official family to invite the mother, if the official family refused, I would die in front of the Funing Palace!" ”

"No!" When Su Song heard this, he knew that Fan Chunren had done it, so he naturally couldn't let such a thing happen, so he hurriedly spoke out to stop it.

Empress Dowager Gao also did not allow it, 'death advice' is often linked to 'faint monarch' and 'dead country', the Great Song Dynasty is at its peak, how can such a thing happen?

"The Qing family is a little safe."

Empress Dowager Gao spoke out to appease Fan Chunren and said, "It's not to that point, let's take a look for the time being." ”

When she spoke, Empress Dowager Gao looked out of the door, her expression was calm, but there was an indescribable sense of majesty.

Su Song, Fan Chunren, and Fan Bailu were all slightly stunned when they saw it.

At this moment, on the way back to Funing Hall from the apse, Zhao Xu hurriedly ran over and said nervously: "Qiqi Guanjia, the Queen Mother, just now, passed away." ”

Zhao Xu's footsteps slammed, first shocked, then stunned, for a long time, looked in the direction of Cining Palace, and whispered to himself: "It's really time." ”

Empress Dowager Xiang is full of thoughts about being the second Empress Dowager Gao, no means to compromise, almost killed Zhao Xu, directly killed Gao Gongji, Empress Dowager Gao will definitely not allow her, it's just that this time of death is really good!

Empress Dowager Xiang as the queen of Shenzong, Zhao Xu's mother-in-law, the empress dowager, as soon as she dies, Zhao Xu will inevitably keep filial piety, and the wedding will be postponed.

After the big wedding was postponed, Zhao Xu and the Empress Dowager Gao's agreement on 'withdrawing the curtain after the big wedding and returning to government' naturally had to be postponed.

So, this is the Queen Mother, it's really time to die!

Chen Pi glanced around, leaned closer and said, "Official, could it be ......?"

Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "Meng Meiren reminded me before, I can only say that it is just right." ”

As for whether there is an acceleration of the Empress Dowager Gao in it, I have to ask the Empress Dowager Gao herself.

Chen Pi didn't ask any more, but he knew it in his heart.

After all, the Empress Dowager Xiang is the Empress Dowager of the dynasty, and she has not been taken away from her title, and the dirty affairs of the royal family cannot be spread out, so there must be a funeral.

At the funeral of the mother-in-law, how can there be a reason for the son's happy wedding?

What Zhao Xu thought was that with the death of the Empress Dowager Xiang, many of his plans would be disrupted, and Lu Dafang's 'closed house reflection' would not be closed for a few days.

"This game looks better...... Zhao Xu smiled and said to himself, Xiang Xiang's death may blow up more cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and strange stories.

When Zhao Xu was talking to himself, the Empress Dowager Gao and Su Song were talking, and the words were full of heartfelt emotion.

"The old body is really old, in a short period of time, I was sick twice, and I almost couldn't wake up."

"After the death of Emperor Yingzong, the old body dragged Shenzong, and after decades of ups and downs, it was hard to survive until now, and the official family has finally grown up."

"I'm over 60 years old this year, I've lived too long, and I'm blessed......"

"As for the government, the old body can trust your ministers, the official family is still younger, you have to bear more, you should work harder......"

Su Song, Fan Bailu, and Fan Chunren listened, their faces changed again and again, and they stopped talking several times.

Looking at the Empress Dowager, who was majestic and calm in the past, her face was full of illness and her tone was weak, and the three of them had their own feelings in their hearts.

They are also old and sophisticated, from the words of the Empress Dowager Gao, they can hear that the Empress Dowager Gao does not really want to withdraw the curtain and return to power, or this young official's methods are too fast and ruthless, and the Empress Dowager Gao cannot leave the Cining Palace under house arrest.

But what can they do?

There are no major mistakes in the official family, and the people of the world cannot tolerate them, even if they are excessive, they can only listen to them, and as for 'abolishing and setting up a new one', as a courtier, they can't even think about it!

Empress Dowager Gao said this, of course, she didn't have such hope, she seemed to be tired, sighed, and said: "Having said so much, I just hope that all of you will be concerned about state affairs, and you will not be afraid of difficulties." ”

The meaning of the words "national affairs are important, don't be afraid of difficulties" has been overflowing.

Su Song, Fan Chunren, and Fan Bailu all understood.

The young official family wants to inherit the reform of his father, Emperor Shenzong, and these people are more or less because of the credit for opposing the change, so that they have reached today's high position, and this year the light official family will come again, and these people have to 'put state affairs first, don't be afraid of difficulties'.

Su Song was silent, his position was not to change the law or to be conservative, but to the stability of the court, and who was messing around, he was against whom.

Fan Chunren was silent, he understood what Empress Dowager Gao meant, but he was thinking about the old things during the Shenzong period.

Shenzong Dynasty, although Wang Anshi resigned twice because of their resolute opposition, but Emperor Shenzong did not give up the change, so they were almost exiled in some people Shenzong Dynasty, and the royal party occupied the court from beginning to end until Shenzong died, and the current official family ascended the throne, and the Empress Dowager listened to the government.

Will it repeat the old story?

Fan Bailu was different, he frowned, as if he had something to say.

Empress Dowager Gao looked at the three of them, and suddenly said, "The old body is tired, the three ministers should think about it." ”

Su Song and the three of them understood, and hurriedly got up and said, "The ministers will retire." ”

They came today to confirm the 'safety' of the Empress Dowager on behalf of the imperial court, and now the Empress Dowager has not said a word about house arrest, and they have to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Of course, even if Empress Dowager Gao mentioned it, they still had to find a way to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

The three of them were just about to leave, when the Empress Dowager Gao suddenly said, "Zigong Xianggong, you stay." ”

Zigong, the word of Fan Bailu. The reason why he is not called Fan Xianggong is probably because he is different from Fan Chunren.

Su Song and Fan Chunren glanced at the Empress Dowager Gao, did not speak, and left directly.

Fan Bailu was a little surprised, but he still responded and continued to sit down.

Empress Dowager Gao looked at him, her expression became more and more emotional, and said: "At the beginning, Yingzong and Empress Cisheng were suspicious, and the Qing family admonished Yingzong, and after Empress Cisheng withdrew the curtain, you have a lot of maintenance, and the Qing family, the old body has also reached this time." ”

Fan Bailu's eyes condensed slightly, and his eyebrows were twisted.

What Empress Dowager Gao said, in fact, in terms of the Pu Yi incident during the Yingzong period, Empress Cisheng was Empress Dowager Cao.

The so-called 'Pu Yi' is caused by Yingzong's title for his biological father.

Yingzong is the successor of the vassal king, not the son of Renzong, and has been raised under his knees for many years. After succeeding to the throne, he insisted on calling his father 'Emperor Kao', and the courtiers strongly objected.

At that time, Fan Bailu, who was a speech official, was even more intense, and he wrote books again and again, there is no other day, how can a person have two fathers? This violates the law of etiquette and is a great unfilial piety, not to mention the emperor who is an exemplary emperor in the world!

Of course, the Empress Dowager Cao can't bear it, and if you succeed you, you will sever all the relationships over there, you inherited the throne, but instead went to recognize your father, so what are I and Renzong?

The name is established, there is a difference between inside and outside, it is a matter of the throne, how can you act rashly!

As a result, the Empress Dowager Cao and the courtiers resolutely opposed it, and the mountains and mountains shouted a tsunami.

It stands to reason that Yingzong should back down, this is indeed against the etiquette law, plus the pressure of the Empress Dowager Cao and the courtiers, who has just ascended the throne, how can he confront the people of the world?

But Yingzong did not retreat at all, he had his considerations: first, the legitimacy of the throne. How can the son of a vassal king be an emperor? Therefore, he called him his father, he must be the 'imperial examination', and the emperor's son can be the emperor!

Second, there is the paradox of rituals. is obviously a father, how can he be called 'Uncle Huang', but his biological father and son have become outsiders? Parents of the body's hair and skin, this cannot be changed! My father doesn't admit it, what kind of filial piety is it?

Of course, there may also be power struggles and father-son relationships.

In short, this incident caused huge waves in the government and the opposition at that time, including Sima Guang and others, who opposed it with all their might. In the end, the two quarreled, and it was Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan who interspersed it, causing Empress Dowager Cao to back down, and Yingzong was able to call his father 'Huang Kao', which was considered to settle the matter.

After Empress Dowager Cao withdrew the curtain and returned to power, those who saw the opportunity impeached and attacked the courtiers who had previously supported Empress Dowager Cao and opposed Yingzong, and endangered the position of Empress Dowager Cao.

At this time, Fan Bailu, who had previously opposed Yingzong, was still a small official, openly writing a book, arguing on the basis of reason, and was quite eye-catching in the government and the opposition.

As Empress Yingzong, Empress Gao naturally remembers it vividly.

When Empress Dowager Gao said these words, her words were self-evident.

The current situation is very similar to the beginning, seeing that the young official family is in power, there will inevitably be countless people who tend to be inflammatory, and will repeat the old things of the past, threatening her current identity and status.

Fan Bailu had experienced the discussion of the year, and he also knew the meaning of the Empress Dowager Gao's words, but he did not speak immediately.

Because the situation is completely different now than it was then!

The party struggle in the Yingzong period was not as fierce as it is now, and Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi and others were also impartial, stabilizing the situation and the hearts of the people in the world. But at present, the 'old and new' parties are incompatible, and no one in the court can have the prestige of Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi and others.

If the official family wants to change the law, it will inevitably restart the new party, so many years of fighting, grievances and grievances are difficult to solve, and they will not be compatible, at that time, who can stand up to stop and protect the Empress Dowager Gao and them?

Empress Dowager Gao looked at Fan Bailu and didn't speak, sighed lightly, and said, "The old body doesn't ask the Qing family to do anything, there is only one thing." In front of the old body, I don't want to see the chaos in the world and the turmoil in society again. ”

Hearing this, Fan Bailu's face changed slightly, and he couldn't be silent any longer, so he bowed down and said, "Don't worry, Niangniang, the minister doesn't want to see that scene." ”

Empress Dowager Gao stared at him for a while, nodded, and said, "I am relieved to have the words of the Qing family." Lu Qing's family was indeed not strict, which led to the matter of the three divisions of the yamen. I believe that in a few days, he will ask the official family for his guilt, and the official family has always been lenient and will invite him out. ”

Fan Bailu was not so optimistic, so he could only respond: "Yes." ”

He didn't know that there was something in Empress Dowager Gao's words.

The two talked for a while, and Fan Bailu left the Cining Hall with a heavy heart and returned to the political hall.

When Fan Bailu left Cining Palace, Lu Dafang had already returned to the mansion and sat quietly in the study.

The third son he had always liked, Lu Hongyou, stood in front of him, raised his hand, looked at Lu Dafang's expression, and looked worried.

As a son, he could see clearly that his father's silence was different from before.

In the past, silence was confident and calm, but now, it is really silent.

Lu Hongyou waited for a cup of tea, and said calmly: "I've heard everything." Dare to ask my father, why do you have to do this? ”

Lu Dafang slowly opened his eyes, looked at him, and said, "What did you say?" ”

Lu Hongyou said: "Why does my father have to stop the official family from being in power, and even more so in the Zichen Palace, he is fighting against the official family?" This is self-inflicted trouble, I know that my father has his own plans, it is related to the safety of the Lu family, and my son wants to ask. ”

Lu Dafang looked at him, was silent for a while, and said: "When the 'Wang Party' was there, you saw it, do you want to watch it again?" ”

'Wang Dang' is the name of the courtiers who changed the law in the current dynasty, and the word 'friend party' is a taboo in the imperial court, and calling the former prime minister 'party' is a kind of attack and belittlement.

In fact, in the end of the Song Dynasty, and even further, Wang Anshi was extremely degraded, and filthy words such as traitors, villains, and power ministers shrouded his body.

Lu Hongyou looked at Lu Dafang and said, "What my son asked was, why did my father do it so fiercely?" ”

Lu Dafang said in a hoarse voice: "If I say that I knew about Su Zhe's matter afterwards, they made their own decisions, do you believe me?" ”

Lu Hongyou was stunned, although he didn't enter the office, he knew the dirt inside, he was silent for a while, and said, "Naturally believe." Father, what do you want to do next? The official family is already disgusted with his father, and if he continues like this, thunder will fall from the sky. ”

Lu Dafang's eyes opened a little, his voice became louder, and he was full of determination, and said: "Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, how long can you delay." ”

Lu Hongyou looked at the old father in front of him, and couldn't help but say: "Back then, people said that Mr. Jiefu was the prince of Ao, and later Mr. Junshi was another, and it seems that the son is also the father." ”

Jiefu is the character of Wang Anshi, and Junshi is the character of Sima Guang, both of whom were once the rulers of the imperial court. They are known for their stubborn tempers.

Listening to this, Lu Dafang couldn't help but smile, and said in a louder voice: "Let the family prepare, three months at the earliest, and half a year at the latest." ”

Lu Hongyou knew the meaning of his father's words, and when the official family stood firm and recruited those people back, enough to replace his father, it was time for his father to be demoted out of Beijing and degraded back and forth.

Just like the old party, which opposed the law change, and the new party now.

"Yes. Adults are hard. Lu Hongyou raised his hand with a solemn expression.

Adult, it is a special title, a serious and solemn title when introducing his father to the outside world, Lu Hongyou said in person, which is even more respectful.

Lu Dafang turned his head slightly, looked out the window, and said in a calm tone: "It's going to be lively." ”

Lu Hongyou followed and looked over, and the sky was still dark.

The sky hasn't changed, but what about people's hearts?

……

The people of the Imperial City Division, more than 60 people, surrounded Liu Shi'an's mansion and were raiding his house.

Liu Fu cried and screamed, and the people outside whispered, gloating and gloating, and there were few sympathizers.

Cai You stood in front of Liu's mansion, looking at this scene, his expression was pale, his eyes were frightened, and he stood for a long time before returning home.

Mr. Xixi lost his former calmness, looked at Cai You's expression when he came back, and pondered.

Originally, Cai Jing was the official designated envoy, but now he was suddenly replaced by Zhang Dian, which is an extremely terrible signal!

Cai You was flustered, but he couldn't help but say: "Sir, you said, could it be because my father has not come back yet, and the official family is in a hurry, so he has temporarily changed people?" ”

The middle-aged man raised his head, looked at him, and said, "Zhang Dian is not in the capital either." ”

Cai You's heart was instantly defeated, and his face was as pale as paper.

His father, before he was favored, fell out of favor?
