Since Zhao Xu was in power, the behavior of Wang Xu, the commander of the horses, has been much more restrained, the reason is very simple, because of the matter of the eldest princess of Shu State, he angered Emperor Shenzong, and was once recaptured by Emperor Shenzong, far from the place. It wasn't until the Empress Dowager Xuanren listened to the government that he had a chance to be reinstated.

And now, it is Zhao Xu's turn to take power, Zhao Xu is an admirer and follower of Emperor Shenzong, who knows if he will be like his father, and once again push himself to the end?

It's better to keep to yourself!

But people are unlucky, they will choke when they drink water, even if Wang Shu picks up his tail and behaves as a man, he still can't escape his doom.

A few months ago, Tan Yuan in his house was verified by the Criminal Department that he was actually the person in charge of the Maitreya Sect in Tokyo, and Wang Shu himself was summoned several times by the Criminal Department, although in the end there was no evidence that Wang Shu himself also joined the Maitreya Sect, but it is a fact that he tolerated lawlessness;

The rebellion of the Maitreya Sect almost caused a full-scale war between the Song and Liao countries, and the heavens were almost pierced;

As soon as Tan Yuan's matter was reported, Zhao Xuyun was angry, and it could really be said that new hatred and old hatred came to his heart together, and as a result, Wang Xu was once again deprived of his title and dismissed, although he was not demoted out of Tokyo City, but the original property given to him by Gao Tao was all returned to the imperial court;

Today's Wang Xue has no income, and a group of concubines in the family are even nervous about the money to buy rouge gouache, and the flowers are bleak, and Wang Shu feels tired of looking at it more.

Fortunately, he is indeed very accomplished in calligraphy and painting, and he is even favored by King Suining and others, and everyone helps a little from time to time, otherwise I am afraid that there will be no rice to put in the pot now.

On this day, Wang Shu was painting in the study, but several concubines in the family quarreled because of the beads, Wang Shu was so angry that he smashed the inkstone on the table out of the door! Ink spilled on the ground.

It's finally quiet!

But Wang Shu began to feel heartache, the inkstone was given by Su Shi, and now he has no life, and it is worth a hundred and ten times to pawn it, and it is all ruined!

Just when Wang Shu was so angry that he wanted to beat someone, the porter came to report that there was a big official Shi who asked to see him.

"Nope! Missing! ”

Wang Shu was annoyed, opened the name sticker and saw Shi Manshu written below, he had never even heard of this name, how could he have the heart to grind his teeth with a stranger.

The little servant in the concierge hesitated for a moment, and saw that Wang Xu's face was like ink, and he couldn't say anything more, and was about to turn around and leave, but Wang Shu suddenly said, "Wait! ”

He opened the name sticker again, and that's right, under the name Shi Manshu, there are a few inconspicuous small words: Zeng Privy Council.

"Bring someone in!"

In the flower hall, Shi Manshu smiled kindly, and after passing the name, he was not in a hurry to explain the intention, but asked the entourage to bring up the gifts in the same way, such as the ginseng of Goryeo, the Nanzhu of Hepu, the blanket of the Western Regions, the incense medicine and ivory of Champong, which are really strange and precious, and these gifts add up to more than a thousand yuan.

The first time they met, such a big deal surprised Wang Xu, he was not naïve enough to think that Zeng Bu was worried that he would be in trouble, so he asked people to send some gifts to comfort him; Now that he has no power and power, and even the title has been taken away, Zeng Bu, the privy envoy of the court, has spent so much thought on himself, how can he feel at ease if he doesn't inquire clearly.

"I'm afraid Mr. Shi has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, what do you mean by such a valuable gift?"

Shi Manshu bowed and smiled: "A little thin courtesy, not a respect, let the horse see the smile, the horse pen and ink Dan Qing crown for a while, even the Su bachelor is endless, in the next is even more admired, I have long wanted to come to the door to seek advice, and I am afraid that it is too presumptuous, today I am worried, abrupt, I hope that the horse Mo will be surprised!" ”

Shi Manshu went around in a big circle, but he didn't mention the intention, but chatted with Wang Shu about calligraphy and painting;

As the saying goes, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, Shi Manshu is a big gift, and he is constantly complimenting, although he knows that his intention will not be so simple, Wang Shu has to patiently entertain.

Shi Manshu was extremely talkative, and after painting and calligraphy with Wang Xuqing for a long time, and after seeking a picture of the Autumn River, he left satisfied, and never mentioned anything else, as if he really came to ask for a painting, which made Wang Xuqing really can't figure out what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd.

After this meeting, Shi Manshu came to visit from time to time with gifts, and after coming and going, he became acquainted, and the topics of the two sides were no longer limited to calligraphy and painting;

When he was slightly drunk on this day, Shi Manshu suddenly said: "The horse is only eight buckets high, and it is a pity that he failed to enter the court, this time he was robbed, my family was very sympathetic to your experience, and I had the heart to help the horse to speak, but the official family was still angry, and I couldn't think about it for a while, but ......"

Wang Xu's heart moved, and he said, "Mr. Shi has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Shi Manshu said casually: "I heard that the horse and the king of Suining are friendly, if the king of Suining or the queen mother can come forward to help the horse first, my family has been privy in the court to cooperate, want to come to the horse will be able to make all wishes, now the official dragon body is not safe, I'm afraid I don't have the energy to deal with the horse, I don't know if the horse thinks so?" ”

As soon as Wang Shu heard this, the doubts in his heart suddenly cleared up in the past few days!

Shi Manshu seemed to be talking about Wang Xu, but the meaning revealed in his words was extraordinary, and he felt like he was shocked, first, he pointed out that Zhao Xu was seriously ill; The second is that Zeng Bu cooperated with the Empress Dowager Xiang, and he would definitely be able to make his wishes come true.

This is clearly Zeng Bu's intention to form an alliance with the Empress Dowager Xiang, and taking Wang Shu as a matter is just to cover people's eyes.

Now the situation between the DPRK and China is extremely delicate, and the court has been completely controlled by the New Party, but the New Party has another fatal wound, that is, Zhao Xu's illness;

Zhao Xu has been bedridden for more than a few months, although he can still hold on to the review of the recitals, but his condition has not improved, but has a tendency to worsen.

According to the current situation, once Zhao Xu has three longs and two shorts, the imperial power will inevitably fall into the hands of the Empress Dowager.

Imperial power is like a person's head, Shangshu Province and the Privy Council are in charge of military affairs, just like two arms, if the 'head' of the Empress Dowager is combined with Zeng Bu's 'arm', it is equivalent to the imperial power and military power, then the arm of Zhangdun can no longer have the ability to fight the court, and then it will not be a real wish?

Wang Shu was very excited in his heart, if he could really promote Zeng Bu to form an alliance with Empress Dowager Xiang and King Suining, he would have to make a great contribution in the future.

What could be more tempting for Wang Xu?

Thinking of this, Wang Shu said without hesitation: "Zeng Shumi is kind and righteous, and he is grateful, so I ask Mr. Shi to tell Zeng Shumi, King Suining and the Queen Mother, I must contact you well, and then I hope that Zeng Shumi will help you in the court to say a few good words, if it happens, it will definitely live up to Zeng's intentions." ”

Zeng Bu, as a privy envoy and a core member of the New Party, this betrayal is like holding a poisonous snake in the arms of the New Party, and you don't know when it will give you a fatal bite.

Zhang Dan had all the opportunities, so naturally he would not pay attention to a horse lieutenant who had been robbed of his knighthood, and he would have no way of knowing Zeng Bu's betrayal; Although the results of the trial of Wen Jifu and Zhang Shiliang were not as perfect as expected, Zhang Dian had no intention of giving up, and just after the annual leave, he immediately handed Wen Jifu's confession to Zhao Xu.

This is the first step in the whole plan!

Although Wen Jifu set aside Lu Dafang and Han Zhongyan this time, his confession was conclusive about Liu Zhi, Liang Tao, and Wang Yansu's intention to abolish Zhao Xu.

In the Baowen Pavilion, Zhao Xu, who was already pale, suddenly turned blue after reading Wen Jifu's letters and confessions.

Over the years, there is one thing that has puzzled Zhao Xu; It is said that he is the emperor, and fools know that he will be pro-government sooner or later, why do Lu Dafang, Liu Zhi and others dare to ignore him as an emperor all the time and keep attacking him with their butts?

They are so disrespectful to themselves, aren't they afraid that they will clean them up after they are in power? Why are they so fearless?

Now everything is finally clear!

It turned out that these people had long wanted to abolish him as the emperor, and only for this reason could they explain Lu Dafang and others' indifference to their behavior.

Zhao Xu was very angry in his heart, but he didn't express his position for a while, this is just Wen Jifu's words, Liu Zhi and others have not really carried out the rebellion, if Liu Zhi and others are killed in this way, it will be difficult to convince the public;

He looked at Zhang Dan, He Shikuan, and Zhang Shangying in the hall, and asked indifferently: "Yuan You's ministers, do you really have the intention of conspiring to abolish the establishment?" ”

"Your Majesty, they do have the intention of rebellion, but they have not found any traces!" The three of them replied in unison.

The trio's answer was very subtle, a deliberate conclusion: they just hadn't had time to implement it.

You may think that Zhang Dian is a bloody spewing person, but if not, how can you explain the behavior of Lu Dafang, Liu Zhi and others?

Could it be that Lu Dafang and the others are very stupid and naïve! Thinking that Gao Tao can live forever, Zhao Xu will never be pro-government, or will he not hold them accountable for their years of contempt for the emperor?

And from a dialectical point of view, Zhao Xu has a paranoid personality, and he has obviously been inclined to innovation since he was a child, once Zhao Xu is pro-government, it must be a nightmare of the old party, and it is impossible for Lu Dafang and others not to know this;

Zhao Xu's thinking is irrevocable, and the only way for the old party to live well is to abolish Zhao Xu.

And they have been ignoring Zhao Xu, which can also be seen as a prelude to betrayal;

Wrong, they are not betrayal, in fact they have never regarded Zhao Xu as an emperor!

Otherwise, as a loyal and upright courtier, even if Zhao Xu is not pro-government, he should not be so indifferent to Zhao Xu!

And after Zhao Xu's wedding, they should persuade Gao Tao to withdraw the curtain and return the government to Zhao Xu, which is the duty of a courtier;

But Lu Dafang and the others did not do this, until Gao Taotao was seriously ill and could not be a director, Lu Dafang and others still did not have the intention of persuading Gao Taotao to return to power!

Therefore, from Zhao Xu's point of view, saying that Lu Dafang and others betrayed him really beautified them.

The angry Zhao Xu quickly issued an order, and Lu Dafang, Han Zhongyan, Liu Zhi, Zhang Tao, Wang Yansuo and others all belittled Lingnan, and they were not pardoned!

Wen Jia Liulang said that although Wen Liulang's ability to interpret characters is good, Zhao Xu is not a fool, so Lu Dafang and Han Zhongyan did not let go.

Liu Zhi, Liang Tao, and Wang Yansuo were directly pointed out, and the crimes were naturally more serious, in addition to being demoted themselves, their children and grandchildren were all moved to Lingnan and taken care of by the local government.

This result was expected by Zhang, but it was not what he wanted in the end!

Lu Dafang and the others are actually degraded to a different place, the difference is not very big, unless they can be officially convicted of the crime of treason, this can be regarded as a coffin for these people, no matter who becomes the emperor in the future, these people will never have a chance to turn over.

The key is still Longyu Palace!

Longyou Palace does not fall, and it is useless to demote Lu Dafang and others to the ends of the earth.

In order to achieve this goal, Zhang Dian once again found Cai Jing, Lin Xi and others for a secret talk.
