The Empress Dowager died suddenly, and the situation changed suddenly, so that they were in such an embarrassing but irreparable state as they are now.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, this is the greatest sorrow of civil officials.

Lu Dafang was not so calm. After all, he was picked up by Lu Gongzhu, and on the surface, he is the same as Fan Chunren and Su Song, who is simple and honest, and does not make friends. However, judging from his methods of dealing with Liu Zhi and the means of using Yushi Yang Wei's attack, Lu Dafang is not as simple as it seems.

After Lu Dafang went down to the court, although he was also closing the door to thank guests, in fact, he secretly discussed countermeasures with his henchman Yang Wei in the mansion.

In some dimly lit study rooms, only one candle was lit.

The officials of the Lu family drove their subordinates to a hundred steps away from the study, and he personally took a few cronies to guard around, for fear that some of his subordinates would not be long-sighted and touch the lord's brow.

The two people in the room had been in the room for about an hour, but they had been sitting facing each other, speechless.

In the end, it was Yang Wei who broke the silence first.

"Lu Xiang, do you really plan to be caught like this?" After Yang Wei said this, it was still difficult to make a decision in his heart.

Speaking of which, Lu Dafang treats him well, so Zai Fu, it is Lu Dafang who has always been willing to use him. is not like Liu Zhi's house, he said it very well, but when it comes to promoting people, the first thing that comes to mind must be the people of the big family in their Shuo Party.

In the final analysis, his foundation is too shallow, he does not have the father and ancestor of Zhongjinshi, and because he has always believed in Wang Anshi's new learning, which leads to Liu Zhi just being good friends with him, and he does not mean to regard him as a close friend at all.

Lu Dafang is different, even after he became prime minister, he has always regarded him as his heart. He also reciprocated for this, and repeatedly secretly helped Lu Dafang deal with his Naxi political enemies. If it weren't for Fan Chunren's constant obstruction, he wouldn't be just a servant now.

This is also the fundamental reason why Yang Wei chose to stand on Lu Dafang's side when he was in the party struggle.

However, this time, if Lu Dafang just accepted his fate, he Yang Wei would have to plan for his future.

Lu Dafang shook his head when he heard this, and said with some pain: "Zi'an! How could Lone not know this, but now that the situation is irreparable, Lone can't think of any solution. ”

In the past few years in power, he has long been accustomed to the feeling of being in power. Although the Empress Dowager is known as listening to politics, she does not have to rely on a few of them to handle political affairs. After Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongshu stepped down and passed away one after another, Fan Chunren and Su Song were too humble to retire, in fact, in the past few years, the political affairs in the Great Song Dynasty were basically handled by him arbitrarily.

Now, seeing that he is about to lose the power in his hands, how can Lu Dafang be willing?

But what could he do?

"Alas! The Empress Dowager has long seen that the current official family is the first emperor, why can't she make a plan early and choose another virtuous monarch? It wasn't until before the immortal went that she told you to beg to go, didn't her old man know that it was too late? Lu Xiang, think about it, the attitude of Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongshu towards today's officials in the main hall. Even I, a little minister, can't see it in my eyes! Although Yang Wei already had other plans in his heart, he couldn't help but say something to test Lu Dafang's attitude.

"Alas! It's hard! Lu Dafang did not blame Yang Wei for these arrogant words, he also sighed and said: "At the beginning, the current official family is still young, and the adults think that they can befriend him, and Cai Qu's news came from nowhere, and he actually took the initiative to tell the Empress Dowager's thoughts. The Empress Dowager, her old man and the two Zaifu had no choice but to cast a mouse trap. ”

"What?" Yang Wei was taken aback when he heard this, and asked in disbelief: "Lu Xiang, could it be that the Empress Dowager had a plan to change the prince at the beginning of the succession of the petty official family?" ”

Lu Dafang nodded, revealed this shocking secret, and said, "This is nature. At the beginning, when Sima Xianggong proposed to 'change the mother to the child' and abolish the new law, today's officials are very resistant. ”

"Alas! It's a pity, so why not do it at that time? Yang Wei sighed again and said.

"It's simple, there's no right person!"

Yang Wei asked, "How come?" I don't know a single heir left by the first emperor, and King Xu and King Wei were still there at that time? ”

"There is no fault in the child, and the rest of the emperor's sons are even younger, so how can they be easily abolished. As for King Xu and King Wei, she didn't think about this possibility. However, at that time, Sima Xianggong happened to be seriously ill, and Duke Wen and Duke Lu were just Wenchen in the final analysis. Don't forget, at that time, the reluctant Xianggong was still alive, and Di Yong also led heavy troops to exterminate those rebellious armor on the roads of Hebei! ”

"Shhh In this way, at the beginning, the first emperor sent Di Yong out, wasn't it as simple as suppressing bandits? The first emperor's mind was too meticulous. Yang Wei asked in surprise.

"Not bad. In fact, even without Di Yong and the forbidden troops under him, Duke Wen and Duke Lu would not be able to grasp the forbidden troops in Bianliang City at all. At that time, the two of them had completely chilled the hearts of the generals. Have you forgotten the Taixue student who died in a headlong crash outside the palace gate, and the deputy general of the forbidden army who was implicated? At this time, Lu Dafang couldn't help but complain in his heart about Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongshu.

No matter who caused the three heinous events in Bianliang City in the first place, however, Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongzhu wanted to take advantage of the successive turmoil to rein in Taixue's practice in one fell swoop, although it was indeed successful in the end, but their implementation of this strategy was too reckless and too unresponsible.

At this time, Yang Wei also recalled the turmoil in Bianliang City for three days, during those three days, there were people who lost power, people who gained power, people who were seriously ill, people who passed away, people who left Beijing, and people who entered Beijing.

Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongshu seemed to have complete control of the entire Taixue, which not only dealt a great blow to the forces and camps of the Fa-changing faction, but also indirectly pulled out the arms of Cai Qu and Zhang Dian.

However, the two of them, and even the conservatives as a whole, were not the winners in that turmoil at all.

You must know that at that time, most of the tens of thousands of students in Taixue were supporters of the Fa-changing faction, but these students all had the same kind of background-Hansheng. It is a student from a poor background.

Even later, Wen Yanbo and Lu Gong took advantage of this turmoil to drive most of the students out of Taixue, and used Guozijian's supervision of Taixue to control the entire Taixue.

However, they can't change that Taixue has always been the main position to absorb Han Sheng.

As soon as the two Zai Fu took office, they ordered the forbidden army to force to death a student from a poor background with excellent character and learning, and that student was not a person from the side of the Fa-changing faction, he still had an old relationship with Su Shi, and he was born in Bianliang City.

Just such a thing made the two of them lose their reputation among those students from poor backgrounds.

The rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and the thing hurts it.

The Principle of Nature.

The only winner is the one who hides in the shadows and has never been able to find out the details and make waves. To this day, no one has been able to track down who is causing the whole thing.

Thinking of this, Yang Wei couldn't help but think of Wang Anshi, who had already passed away, and said: "The tiger is majestic, not to mention, at that time, the reluctant minister was only seriously ill. At that time, Sima Xianggong wanted to abolish the new law, and the prince could bear it. However, at that time, once anyone threatened the throne of the current official family. No one can guarantee what the Guild will do. You must know that those forbidden troops in Bianliang City are all under his auspices, and they have just been replaced. ”

"Yes! Lone thinks so, too. What's more, do you think those generals will be involved and dare to participate in this matter? At that time, Duke Wen and Duke Lu had soldiers in their hands, but none of them were available. When the prince died and Di Yong returned to Beijing, the overall situation was decided at that time. If the Empress Dowager wants to do anything again, she will lose her righteousness. ……”

"Lu Xiang, since the current official family refuses to let you go now, let's pretend to be sick and ask for a retreat! In this case, there is no reason for the official family to continue to keep you! Yang Wei knew this, in fact, he had already thought about his future in his heart, but considering that Lu Xiang had always treated him well, he took the initiative to come up with an idea for Lu Dafang.

"Now, that's all it takes." Lu Dafang nodded, and fell into deep thought.

……

Soon after, Yang Wei returned to his mansion. He wrote a recital overnight and prepared to present it to the little emperor Zhao Xu the next day.

This twist is not a recital to impeach the three prime ministers, although he has impeached many prime ministers and ministers for Lu Dafang, but this time, he did not do it.

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.
