Lu Gong's face hurt very much, and even said that he was a little stunned.

After so many years in the officialdom, Lu Gongzhu is by no means a fool, he has long wanted to use the investigation to suppress Wang Ning'an and his family, and it has reached the time when it is imminent and must take action.

In front, Wang Ningan cleaned up the ruling and took down the political hall, and the entire decision-making power fell into his hands, but this did not sit back and relax, with the national policy, it still needs to be implemented, so the real key is the local prefect, the governor, and a higher level of transfer envoys, pacification envoys.

Judging from the current situation, Wang Ning'an's people occupy the top and the bottom, and many magistrates, magistrates, magistrates, and judges are all his protégés.

If they get the first class in this evaluation, three years later, the railway will be repaired, and it will be a first-class again!

From the prefect to the prefect, one step away, you can rise up in an instant.

Among them, people like Lu Huiqing, Zhang Dian, Su Zhe, Zeng Bu and others can at least get a transfer envoy, or directly take charge of one, or even enter the political hall!

really came to this point, the layout of Wang Ning'an's family was completely completed, from top to bottom, there was no longer any obstacle, and whatever government affairs he wanted to implement were all like his fingers, and it was easy and satisfactory.

Therefore, Lu Gongzhu must take action, even if he does not want to fight the black gauze hat, he must also hit Wang Ningan's forces hard and prevent him from dominating the court.

Before the attack, Lu Gong's calculations were very clear, as a heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, he was in charge of the power of investigation, this is the time of the day, but Wang Ning'an is out of Beijing again, and there is no strongest opponent, which is equivalent to occupying the geographical advantage, and there are also many forces against Wang Ning'an, and they are all assembled.

Different from the traditional scholar group before, the law has changed to this day, with the development of industry and commerce, the emergence of steam engines, and everyone knows that the development of industry and commerce is an irreversible trend.

However, in terms of how to develop, there are two different groups, one is led by Wang Ning'an, he resolutely believes that it is necessary to move the strong and strong, implement the division of land, realize education for all, break the original social structure, and reorganize a new industrial society, in terms of distribution, we must be as fair as possible, and as much as possible to favor the lower class of people.

But the other group, most of them were powerful gentry, and these people hoped to convert their former wealth and land into industrial capital, and the tenant farmers directly into workers, and try to satisfy their greedy appetites. This group, dominated by the bureaucratic gentry in the southeast, also integrated the original old forces, and even got in touch with the Empress Dowager Cao and obtained the support of the harem.

It is precisely because of the huge support of the force that Lu Gongzhu dared to confront Wang Ning'an head-on, anyway, the old man was impartial, everything was in accordance with the rules of the court, at most he was dismissed, anyway, there are so many people, they will also support the old man, and the old man is fearless!

It's just that Lu Gong didn't expect that Wang Ningan didn't fight with him, but instead tore a hole from Song Minqiu, and the whole thing became troublesome!

"Old Song, you are still a person who has been up and down in the sea for decades, why didn't you even be careful about this, and you were caught by Wang Ning'an with a sore foot, you, you should die!"

Lu Gongzhu pondered for a long time, and he knew that he couldn't wait any longer. Only immediately entered the palace and asked to see Zhao Shu, and he also put on the reading glasses given by Zhao Shu.

"The old minister is ashamed, he has no insight into people, and it is indeed unfair to include Song Minqiu in the first-class evaluation, the old minister is willing to accept the guilt, please punish the saint!"

Zhao Shu nodded slightly, "Lu Qing, Song Minqiu's case is still under investigation, but from the current evidence alone, this person has a bad heart, and his methods are vicious and insidious, and I will never let him go!" Lu Qing, you put such a person in the first class, can you count the evaluation of the officials this time? ”

Lu Gong's legs were weak, and he lay on the ground, and cold sweat flowed from his sideburns.

"Your Majesty, Song Minqiu is indeed an omission on the part of the old minister, and his evaluation should be revoked immediately and wait for a thorough investigation, but just because of him, the entire investigation results will be overturned, and the old minister thinks that it may not be appropriate, so I implore Your Majesty to learn clearly!"

Zhao Shu looked at Lu Gongzhu and said twice, "What Lu Qing means is that on this list, only Song Minqiu is bad, and there is no problem with the others?" ”

"This ......" Lu Gong gritted his teeth, "The old minister is willing to withdraw the list, re-investigate, within 10 days, he will definitely send His Majesty a carefully scrutinized list, if there are any omissions and mistakes, the old minister is willing to accept any punishment!" ”

After speaking, Lu Gong fell to the ground and was silent.

Zhao Shu stared ahead, and after a long while, he said slowly: "I can agree to Lu Qing's request, I hope Lu Qing will not let me down again!" ”

After speaking, Zhao Shu waved his hand and sent Lu Gongzhu out.

When he returned to the dormitory, Zhao Shu let out a long breath and couldn't wait to call Wang Qing over and show off.

"Qing'er, I just played a game to catch the old man!" Zhao Shu said proudly: "Isn't Lu Gong going to harm people by investigating, I will give him another chance, but I want to see what results he can find!" If he dares to abuse his power for personal gain, and the party fights for personal gain, no one can say anything no matter how I punish him at that time...... Including the queen mother! ”

After having a daughter-in-law, there are a lot of inconvenient things to say, Zhao Shu has someone to talk to, he keeps complaining, over the years, how the queen mother has supported the old school and always added chaos to the law, why can't she let go, no longer interfere in the government, and leave everything to herself......

Wang Qing patiently listened to her husband's complaints, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't have to care so much, it's like in the eyes of every mother, the child doesn't grow up, and the queen mother is also afraid that Your Majesty will go the wrong way, so she wants to make decisions for Your Majesty!" ”

"But I am the supreme of the Ninth Five, and I am the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty!"

"But Your Majesty hasn't done anything big!" Wang Qingdao: "My father said that if a person wants to be feared, in addition to power, he must also have prestige and scheming...... His Majesty only has the throne of the emperor, but he does not have enough prestige, let alone the terrifying power and calculation...... So in the eyes of others, His Majesty is still just an insignificant little emperor. ”

Zhao Shu was very unconvinced, he pouted, "It's not that I haven't done anything, it's just that in the past three years, I have settled the Western Xia, moved to Haoqiang, and divided the feudal kings......" Zhao Shu said several things in one breath, but in the end there was no sound, although these things were done in the past three years, but there is really nothing, it was planned by Zhao Shu himself, in the eyes of outsiders, not to mention Master Wang Ning'an, even the old fox Wen Yanbo's credit is greater than him!

Wait!

I must show you that I am not a weak chicken!

Zhao Shu gritted his teeth, waiting for the opportunity to show the emperor's authority.

……

Wang Ning'an, who is far away in Xuzhou, actually knows everything about things in Beijing, if he is really so easy to calculate, he will not be able to mix it up for a long time, the reason why Wang Ningan did not go back immediately and shelter his students, but wanted to see if these boys could hold up a piece of the sky......

The result is not very optimistic, even if Sima Guang has a worse vision, but Wang Anshi can decisively stand on his side, which makes Wang Ningan a little surprised.

Wang Jiefu is a sincere person, the same on the outside and the inside, a real gentleman!

Maybe you can entrust it with big things!

Wang Ningan just paid a little attention to the movement in the capital, and put his energy on the case in hand, because he found that this case was too interesting, and the more he investigated, the more things he dug up, and the evaluation of the officials ...... When I'm done, it's a fart!

I don't know how many people will be slapped in the face!

"Master Song, this king has come to see you again."

Wang Ningan came to the prison with a smile, the last interrogation, the two couldn't bear it, and the curtain guests who confessed that it was Song Minqiu told them to use iron money to fool the people.

Wang Ningan immediately arrested Song Minqiu's guest, this guy is also a coward, after a few words of scare, he recruited everything, he said that Song Minqiu nodded, the purpose was to frame Yan Jidao and teach him a lesson.

The fire burned Song Minqiu, of course Wang Ningan would not be soft, and directly took down Song Minqiu.

But under questioning, Song Minqiu was unwilling to admit anything, except that he was trying to take revenge on Yan Shu, and he was unwilling to say a word...... In the past few days, he has been even more simply, directly in prison without eating or drinking, sitting on a pile of dry grass and waiting for death.

Wang Ningan came again, and this one was still motionless.

"Master Song, this king has written into your family, temporarily seized your children, grandchildren, nephews, and a large family, and began to check your family property!"

This sentence was not loud, but Song Minqiu sat up in shock.

Because he didn't eat or drink for days, his body was weak, his movements were too violent, his head was covered with beads of sweat, and his eyes were black for a while. Song Minqiu gritted his teeth, "Wang Ningan, don't go too far!" ”

"Hehe, Master Song, you are a smart person, as the king, check a few corrupt officials and corrupt officials, not to mention just raiding the house, even if you destroy your nine clans, few people dare to talk more. Don't really say it, I checked it for a while, your family is still clean, the field is only 500 acres, a few old houses, only two or three servants, several sons are honest people, reading and farming, grandchildren are also studying hard, and the folk reviews are also the best, my people went, and they were almost blocked by the people...... They all said that Master Song was a good official! ”

Song Minqiu gritted his teeth, "The old man is a man and above board, I don't need you to say more!" ”

"Hahaha, Master Song, maybe you used to be like this, but how many people have a bad thought, and the evening is not guaranteed, you have read so many books, you won't know it!"

"I, I have nothing to say!"

Wang Ningan shook his head lightly, "You don't have anything to say to me, then I'll let you see someone, maybe you can talk to him." Wang Ningan waved his hand, and an errand came in, and they escorted a middle-aged man with a dark face to Song Minqiu's cell.

The middle-aged man looked up and saw Song Minqiu, who had gray hair and a haggard face, and suddenly cried out.

"Daddy, Daddy!"

His strength was surprisingly strong, the two servants couldn't catch him, Wang Ningan smiled and stood to the side, let people open the prison door, and the middle-aged man ran in three steps and two steps, knelt in front of his father, and cried loudly.

"Dad, why are you like this!"

When Song Minqiu saw his son, he trembled all over, and his two old eyes widened!

"Wang Ningan, do you want to use my son to coerce the old man to bow his head? You are delusional! Song Minqiu gritted his teeth and scolded, his body shook, and he could barely support it.

The middle-aged man hurriedly supported his father and hurriedly explained: "Dad, it's not the prince who persecuted the child, it's the child who is voluntary. ”

"What did you say?" Song Minqiu's facial features were hideous, and he looked at his son in disbelief.

"Dad, the children know that you always don't want the children to suffer, so you asked for the 300,000 yuan...... But no matter how filial the children are, they don't spend their father's life in exchange for money! Dad, you always make things clear to the prince, the peace and security of our family is more important than anything else! ”
