The 388th Attack on Yang Wei
In it, there was no mention of any conversation between him and Lu Dafang last night. Because, the secrets that Lu Dafang said last night are either that the matter is too extensive, or that he is dead and has no proof.
Cai Qu and the Empress Dowager have passed away, who wants Yi Chu, the whole thing seems confusing, just Lu Dafang's words are not enough as evidence.
Especially in the matter of Yi Chu, if Yang Wei dared to say it, his death would be ugly.
The main content of this twist and turn is actually catching up with the little emperor.
Lu Dafang has been appointed by Zhao Xu as the envoy of the mountain tomb, and once he leaves Beijing, it will be the beginning of his real loss of power as the prime minister. This is also the first time that Yang Wei betrayed Lu Dafang after he defected to Lu Dafang, and he recounted in the twists and turns that he discussed academics with Wang Anshi during the years of Xining and Yuanfeng, and how to support the reform of the law.
These things have indeed happened, and the world knows that Yang Wei was indeed a brain-dead fan of Wang Anshi's new law. However, the only thing Yang Wei did wrong at the beginning was that when he was a fledgling and not deeply involved in the world, he mistakenly believed in Shu Yan, a capricious and wrong-natured villain. This led to him being implicated and demoted from the center of Bianliang City.
However, Yang Wei was also a blessing in disguise because of this, because his status in the Fa-Chang faction has not been high, so in the first year of Yuanyou, when the Fa-Chang faction officials were demoted to Lingnan, he was not implicated in any way because his official position was too small, so everyone ignored him.
He was also in the process of making troubles, not only recommending to Zhao Xu the two pillars of the reform faction - Zhang Dian and Lu Huiqing, but also impeaching a minister - Shu Kang. It seems to be a snake to add to the picture, because Zhao Xu has secretly sent people to urgently summon the ministers who have been demoted to Lingnan to enter Beijing immediately, and because he has taken refuge in the conservatives, Shu Yan is naturally in the list of ministers who the little emperor cleaned up for the first time.
Just looking at the two people recommended by Yang Wei has a lot of meaning.
Zhang Dian was the first to be edicted back, which should be, because, when Song Shenzong died, Cai was indeed the chief figure of the Fa Chang faction in Bianliang City, and his power and status were second only to Wang Qi's prime minister of the three decrees, while Zhang Dian was the privy deputy envoy and a big man in the civil and military affairs.
But Lu Huiqing's candidate is a bit intriguing.
Everyone in the world knows that when Wang Anshi took the initiative to resign as prime minister, the person who took his place in the court was Lu Huiqing, although he has always insisted on changing the law, but this person's desire for power is too heavy. When Wang Anshi regained his appearance, he actually fought with Wang Anshi in order to control more rights.
Although Wang Anshi is not his teacher, if he hadn't been promoted by this reluctant minister, even if he had the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, he would not have climbed to the position of prime minister so quickly.
It is no wonder that such an ungrateful person will be reused by Song Shenzong.
And Cai Dao's chaotic entry made him completely demoted to Lingnan by Song Shenzong, and Cai Bian left Beijing to serve as the prefect of Yan'an Prefecture, which also made Lu Huiqing lose a good opportunity to completely turn over.
Although Zhao Xu was young at the time, he also remembered these things clearly, over the years, he had been accustomed to seeing villains who saw the wind and steered the rudder, such as Zheng Xia, such as Shu Yan, who took the initiative to take refuge in the conservative side after the law changers lost power, and who had cheated Yang Wei at the beginning. How could the little emperor reuse such a capricious villain as Lu Huiqing?
When Zhao Xu saw this twist, he would take the initiative to think about what was the reason for this first conservative wise man who took the initiative to take refuge in himself to recommend Lu Huiqing to himself?
It turned out that at that time, Yang Wei's official position was too small, and it was understandable that he didn't understand the infighting between the ministers of the law-changing faction.
This is what Yang Wei wants Zhao Xu to think of. It can be regarded as a betrayal for him to do this now, but considering that he did not have a high status among the law-changing faction in the first place, it is understandable to take the initiative to find a backer. What's more, Zhao Xu also knew very well in his heart that the three prime ministers, Lu Dafang, Fan Chunren and Su Song, were actually very different from Sima Guang, Lu Gongshu and Wen Yanbo.
The first three prime ministers not only oppose all the new laws promulgated by Wang Anshi, but also want to safeguard the fundamental interests of their families and the northern civil official families, while the last three prime ministers are not opposed for the sake of opposition like Sima Guang, their attitude towards the new law is actually similar to Su Shi's attitude to a certain extent, and the last three prime ministers in power have been balancing the interests of the wealthy families in the north and the common people.
For example, when Sima Guang wanted to force Zeng Bu and Cai Jing to abolish the exemption law in the Gyeonggi region as soon as possible, Fan Chunren suggested to Sima Guang that the exemption law should be retained, because the people in the Gyeonggi area had adapted to the new law and found it very convenient.
Yang Wei's small move, after Zhao Xu saw this twist and turn the next day, it really worked.
On the same day, Lu Dafang took the coffin of the Empress Dowager to the mountain mausoleum, and fell ill on the way.
On the same day, Zhao Xu also took the initiative to summon Yang Wei, and no one knew what the two talked about in the palace.
At this time, those ministers of the reform faction who were far away in Lingnan had already received the news of the death of the Empress Dowager, and the shrewd people among them had already packed their bags, as soon as they received Zhao Xu's edict, they could immediately leave for Beijing.
And the person who delivered this news to them was naturally the subordinates of the seven-color collar.
Today, the seven-color collar organization has spread throughout the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, as well as the Nanjing region of the Liao State. As for Yunzhou, which is the Datong region of later generations, Cai Dao did not send people in, but even if he sent people to infiltrate there, the developed people would not be able to transfer them overseas.
Unlike the Youzhou region, as long as they can't survive in the territory of Liao, they are tempted by the seven-color collar organization and are willing to migrate overseas. There is no need for the seven-color collar organization to send people to organize, and these people themselves can take advantage of the night to feel the seaside with their families.
Therefore, Cai Dao's order to the diamond collar was only to temporarily develop intelligence personnel in the Yunzhou area.
The next day, Yang Wei also left the capital.
Later, people learned that Zhao Xu summoned him to test his ability with a task, after all, as a repeated person, if he didn't have any ability to do things, the little emperor would not appoint him.
The key point why a powerful and capricious villain like Lu Huiqing can be repeatedly entrusted in the original world is because he has a lot of talent.
It is no wonder that some people are secretly saying that Lu Huiqing, the big traitor, is the current Cao Cao.
Lu Huiqing is not only both civil and political, but what is even more rare is that he is also good at martial arts. The people of the world, if they really want to choose a person who can match him, it is Wang Shao, who only needs to open the river alone.
If, if it weren't for Cai Dao's reasons, although Lu Huiqing still couldn't return to the central Bianliang City during the Yuanfeng period, he still succeeded Shen Kuo, and in the position of the prefect of Yan'an Mansion, he repeatedly made military exploits, and shattered the attempt of the Western Xia State to occupy Yan'an Mansion. His actions on the border are no worse than Fan Zhongyan at the beginning.
The task given to Yang Wei by Zhao Xu is to find Cai Dao.
