In the Zichen Palace, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward, Lu Mengxiu made it clear that he didn't want to give up, Lu Mengzheng didn't admit it, and Zhao Guangyi and the ministers didn't say much, after all, no one could make a conclusion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But most people are inclined to believe Lu Mengxiu, after all, it is embarrassing to say this kind of thing, and he is definitely one of the victims.
And this matter was first stabbed out by Lu Mengzheng's son Lu Congjian, how could his own son wronged his own son in this matter?
All of a sudden, there was a wave of gossip in the Zichen Palace.
The origin of the trend is several high-ranking officials, most of whom are first-class and first-class, and of course, there are also a few second-rank officials who are not afraid of Lu Mengzheng, most of these people are military generals, and there are also a few civil officials.
The high-ranking officials made eye contact with each other, silence is better than sound, and after Lu Mengzheng found out about this, his face turned black in an instant.
In any case, the ugliness of Lu Mengzheng's family has been exposed, no matter whether he has done this matter or not, his reputation has also fallen to the lowest point at this moment.
What's more, he can't explain this matter clearly, once the news spreads, most people will tend to believe Lu Mengxiu, the victim, and at that time, how can he still have the face to stand above the court.
It's not that he won't be able to be an official in the future, but that as the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, after this kind of incident, when he uses morality, law and other things to discipline officials and people in the future, who will believe him?
In the words of later generations, Lu Mengzheng's credibility is gone.
Moreover, Lu Mengzheng is still the leader of the Great Song Dynasty literary circle, once his scandal is known to the literati, who will worship him again?
Literati are generally clean and self-puffing, and they don't look at indecent things and don't hear about them, these are deeply rooted in their bones, and once Lu Mengzheng's scandal is exposed, the vast majority of literati will inevitably stay away from him.
Zhao Guangyi knew this, so he planned to make peace with the mud, and Lu Mengzheng himself knew it, so he was so anxious that his face turned dark.
There is also a group of people who are also very aware of this, they are Lu Mengzheng's protégés.
Lu Mengzheng has a wide range of friends, as the leader of the literary world, there are many protégés, and there are several people in this court who are his protégés, ranging from three to five grades, a total of more than a dozen people.
Among these people, some people couldn't hold their breath, walked out, hugged their fists at Zhao Guangyi and said: "Your Majesty, there are many doubts about this matter, Lord Lu has always been clean, how can it be with his own ...... What about having a relationship with your brother and sister? According to the lower officials, this should be Lord Lu Mengxiu who misunderstood Lord Lu. ”
Zhao Guangyi did not express any more opinions on this matter, as an emperor, his words and deeds will be observed and analyzed, and it is not appropriate to say more about this matter.
Seeing that Zhao Guangyi didn't speak, Lu Mengzheng's other protégé was anxious, walked to the middle of the Zichen Palace, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, according to Weichen, this matter may be that Lu Mengxiu harbored evil intentions and deliberately blamed Lord Lu. ”
"You fart." As soon as Lu Mengxiu heard this, where could he stand it, he was about to jump up in a hurry, and the swear words came out of his mouth instantly.
Zhao Guangyi frowned, but did not pursue him, but just asked Lu Mengzheng's protégé to continue.
Lu Mengzheng's protégé smiled proudly, with an expression of insight into everything, and said: "The emperor is clear, if this matter is really handled according to the current situation, and the world will know about it, how can Lord Lu still have the face to stand in the court at that time?" Who is benefiting from this? ”
"What do you mean?" Zhao Guangyi asked.
The protégé hugged his fists and squinted at Lu Mengxiu: "Your Majesty, if it really comes to that time, Lu Mengxiu, as a victim, will definitely cry and beg the emperor to uphold justice, but Lord Lu has served the country and the people for so many years, if he really resigns, the emperor will definitely not punish him again, I don't know if what Weichen said is right?" ”
Zhao Guangyi nodded and said, "If that's the case, how can I be willing to deal with Lu Aiqing." ”
The protégé continued: "In this way, in order to balance Lu Mengxiu's psychology, the emperor will inevitably add an official to him, thinking that he is already a second-rank high-ranking official, if he is promoted again, won't he become a second-rank master?" Isn't this enough to explain Lü Mengxiu's wolf ambitions? ”
As soon as these words came out, the court was shocked.
Everyone looked at Lu Mengzheng's protégé in unison, and the meaning in their eyes was strange, some with banter, some with disgust, and some with malice.
Needless to say, with malice, it is naturally Lu Mengxiu.
When Lu Mengxiu heard this, he immediately thought of the letter he received in the morning, and secretly said that Lu Mengzheng's protégé began to pour dirty water on me. I provoked someone, and Madame cuckolded me, and it became a deliberate arrangement for me.
As for the banter, it is naturally those military generals and high-ranking officials.
In other words, this protégé is really stupid enough, if he really does what he said, Lu Mengxiu forced Lu Mengzheng away, he can become a second-class master, but Lu Mengxiu, who has lost face, can he really be this big man with peace of mind? Will he also be ashamed to resign and not do it?
In that case, does he really get the benefits?
Lu Mengzheng glared at this protégé fiercely, and the purpose of the warning was self-evident.
He knew his younger brother too well, he knew that Lu Mengxiu was a suspicious person, and when Lu Mengxiu heard the words of this protégé, it was bound to deepen Lu Mengxiu's misunderstanding even more.
Sure enough, Lu Mengxiu wanted to be crooked.
At the moment, Lu Mengxiu couldn't take care of it so much, in order not to let the dirty water splash on him, he broke a fierce news again.
"Your Majesty, and your colleagues, do you know that Lu Mengzheng is very good to his illegitimate son, even better than his own son, my nephews Dan Whenever there is a conflict with Lu Yijian, he always adds sticks and never asks the reason."
"Another point, that Lu Yijian and Lu Mengzheng look very similar, and anyone who sees them walking together will think that they are father and son."
As soon as these words came out, the court fell silent again.
If everyone still doubted Lu Mengzheng before, then almost everyone now believes Lu Mengxiu's words.
In this world, there are not no uncles or uncles who are good to their nephews, but who is better to their nephews than their sons? Unless the nephew is simply an illegitimate child.
The most important thing is that listening to Lu Mengxiu's meaning, Lu Mengzheng has been good to Lu Yijian not for a day or two, but consistently, which is even more revealing.
Lu Mengxiu's assertion was very powerful, whether it was Zhao Guangyi or the ministers, almost everyone believed him, and when everyone looked at Lu Mengzheng again, the meaning became very profound.
Lu Mengzheng didn't care about any etiquette at this time, he was a person who cherished feathers, and the most unbearable thing was that his reputation was damaged, so he immediately refuted it.
"The emperor must not listen to his nonsense, Lu Yijian's son has been smart since he was a child, and he has the talent of a prime minister, much better than my sons who are not successful, so Weichen will focus on cultivating, and he is absolutely selfless!"
