Chapter 080: The Undercurrent of Longyou Palace

In the Longyou Palace, Xiang Empress Dowager leaned on the soft couch, separated by a gilded screen in front of the couch, her hair was not combed, her long hair was a little messy, she only wore a thin undershirt, and the loose neckline revealed a piece of white greasy, Xiang Empress Dowager is forty-eight years old this year, and good maintenance makes her usually look like a, and the charm still exists. But this Xuandemen incident hit her too hard, and her face was haggard at the moment, and she seemed to be ten years old in a few days.

Shang Qingren was kneeling in front of the couch and carefully feeding her medicine, and persuaded her softly: "The Queen Mother doesn't have to think about it, it is right to take care of her body." ”

"Alas! The wings of the official family are stiff, and I have no way to take him, I think that even Emperor Shenzong didn't dare to be so tough, and I don't want that cowardly woman to give birth to such a stubborn son, the world is unpredictable! ”

"The Queen Mother said cautiously, the official family is the son of the Queen Mother!"

"Mine?" Empress Dowager Xiang's face was full of bitterness and helplessness, just say this kind of thing to outsiders, and know her own affairs.

After drinking the medicine, the Empress Dowager slowly rinsed her mouth before she continued: "This time, I underestimated Yang Yi, a traitor!" Since the founding of Taizu, my Great Song Dynasty has shared the world with scholars, this is the foundation of the country, and now the new law launched by this traitor is even worse than Wang Anshi, it is clear that it is going to destroy the foundation of my Great Song Dynasty, this fang is not removed, and the country will never have peace! ”

Xiang said to the Queen Mother that she was righteous and awe-inspiring, and Shang Qingren immediately said to her liking: "Queen Mother, Yang Yi was originally the grandson of Li Qingchen, according to Han Zhi, Yang Yi was rebellious and unfilial, and he actually beat and scolded his grandmother, like a beast ......."

"Is that really the case?" Without waiting for Shang Qingren to finish speaking, the Empress Dowager Xiang couldn't wait to interrupt him, and her originally gray face was a little more radiant.

Shang Qingren leaned and replied: "Queen Mother, this matter is true, just a few days ago, Mrs. Li Qingchen went to Yang Yi's mansion, dozens of entourages were beaten and their noses were swollen, Mrs. Li was insulted by Yang Yi, and was taken down from the main seat, the bad attitude is unheard of, Mrs. Li wanted to sue the Yamen, but was later stopped by Li Qingchen, when Han Zhi, the son of Han Zhongyan, went to visit his aunt, Mrs. Li only told the matter 1510, absolutely not wrong! ”

"Good, good! That's great! ”

Xiang Empress Dowager Huo Di stood up, her expression was very excited, the belt around her waist was not tied, and she didn't notice the white flowers leaking out of her chest at this time, she ordered repeatedly: "Qingren, you immediately go to Han Zhi and ask him to sue Yang Yi for his aunt, the bigger the trouble, the better, it is best to make the trouble known to the world, Qingren, you will contact other upright ministers and impeach them together, I want to see how the official family protects this traitor, remember, Yang Yi was instigated by Zhang Dan, understand?" ”

The more he talked to the Queen Mother, the happier he became, and finally couldn't help laughing, Shang Qingren stepped forward to help her tie her clothes, and said: "The Queen Mother said yes, this matter is instigated by Zhang Dan, Li Qingchen and Zhang Dian in the traitorous party are on par with Zhang Dan, Zhang Dian is worried that Li Qingchen and himself will snatch the position of prime minister, so he deliberately befriended Yang Yi, and instigated Yang Yi to betray the Li family, and tried his best to create scandal for the Li family, in order to achieve the goal of striking Li Qingchen, this matter is undoubted, and the slave believes that the people of the world will see Zhang Dan's sinister face sooner or later." ”

"Good, good! That's it! Qingren, hurry up and do it! ”

Seeing that the Empress Dowager Xiang's condition was cured without medicine, Shang Qingren was also full of joy, he was originally known to the inner and inner provinces, but as soon as Zhao Xu became pro-government, he was driven down and replaced by Jiao Shou, who was originally engaged in miscellaneous labor, and now he can only rely on the Empress Dowager Xiang to regain everything he once had, so he is very diligent in doing things.

Han Zhongyan has a total of ten sons and seventeen daughters, and he is very capable of giving birth, but it doesn't matter, the Han family has nearly a thousand miles of land, and he almost didn't occupy all of Hebei, and it is no problem to raise tens of thousands of people, and in a few years, even Xiao Yue Fei will have to help the rich man Han's family herd cattle.

Han Zhi is the fifth son of Han Zhongyan, if the Han family's business is not his turn to inherit, it would be good to be able to divide dozens of miles of fields, but the world is unpredictable, it is better to be born early than to be born well, his four elder brothers have died of illness one after another, and Han Zhi, who has a good life, has become the son of the Han family.

At this moment, Han Yanei hugged the top brand of Fanglou to make the moon girl, but he was unlucky, his father Han Zhongyan had just lost the important position of privy envoy, and he himself was found to be corrupt in this investigation, and was deprived of the official position of the official member of the ministry, and his future was bleak.

"Brother Mu, let's do it, let's settle it, like my third brother who degraded the wild land of Lingnan, it is unknown whether he can come back in this life, alas!" Lu Xiji, who was sitting opposite, was no better, he also lost his position, and he was also full of sighs.

The Lu family has been out of control since the champion of Lu Meng in the Taizong Dynasty, and the family history has been out of control, and there have been several prime ministers for generations, and the family background is better than that of the Han family.

In this large-scale investigation of the descendants of the old party, there were countless people who were demoted or seized office, and the old party lords such as the Han family and the Lu family bore the brunt, and the Sima family was the luckiest, because Sima Guang was barren and had no heirs.

The two were sighing, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, Han Zhi was in a bad mood, and he was immediately furious, but after seeing the person who came, his half-open mouth couldn't make a sound, he turned around and waved his hand, and Huyue and a few girls hurriedly retreated.

Shang Qingren pulled out a chair and sat down before saying, "Master Lu is also here, just right, let's talk together!" ”

Han and Lu hurriedly helped Shang Qingren pour tea and wine, and greeted warmly, Shang Qingren was the person next to the Queen Mother, and he had always been responsible for internal and external contacts, and Han and Lu did not dare to slack off.

However, when Shang Qingren explained his intentions, Lu Xiji immediately decided to choose to watch from the wall, and Han Zhi was also silent.

Sue Yang Yi, it sounds simple, but if you think about it, you will understand that it is not a simple business.

Zhu Guangting and others also beat Yang Yi's idea, but in the end, they made a disgrace, and the Empress Dowager Xiang had just been slapped loudly in the Xuandemen incident, Zhao Xu didn't care about the Empress Dowager's face at all, and personally went to Yang Yi's mansion to invite this six-grade official, this move is unheard of, and the Empress Dowager Xiang is not enough!

The New Party is sharpening its knives, and at this time it went to sue Yang Yi, didn't he send his neck to the knife edge of others?

Take 10,000 steps back, even if you are lucky enough to bring down Zhang Xuan, but the leader of the new party is actually not Zhang Xuan, but Zhao Xu, can you bring Zhao Xu down?

As long as Zhao Xu is still the emperor, you cut off his right arm, he can trample you to death as long as he has a foot left, the current Zhao Xu is like a hedgehog full of thorns, Zhang Xuan, Yang Yi and others are the thorns on his body, whoever dares to touch it will be regarded by Zhao Xu as a challenge to the new policy, Zhao Xu is not the emperor of Shenzong, this job is not easy to do! Han Zhi and Lu Xiji are both people who have been trained in systematic 'political struggle' since they were children, and they have long been trained to be qualified officialdom fighters, how can they not figure it out?

"Could it be that Lord Han is afraid, Yang Yi is disobedient and unfilial, the evidence is conclusive, and this matter is not a political dispute, it involves human ethics and great gifts, the world will definitely look sideways, and the queen mother can come forward to speak in person at any time, even if the official family wants to protect Yang Yi and others, but the Great Song Dynasty governs the country with filial piety, is it difficult for the official family to dare to risk the world's disapproval and condone such disobedient people? Two, this is your best chance, if you can expel Zhang Dian, Yang Yi and other traitors, the degraded and honest ministers can return to their positions, and you will definitely become the admired figures of the world! ”

Shang Qingren said it wildly, in fact, it was not enough to impress Han Zhi and the two, but they also knew in their hearts that the Empress Dowager Xiang was the only hope of the old party, if they did not do it according to the Empress Dowager Xiang's intentions at this time, the Empress Dowager Xiang would probably no longer care about their life or death, if this is the case, the old party will never be able to turn over, and this matter is indeed worth a Bo, as long as you firmly grasp the righteousness of 'benevolence and filial piety', the odds of winning are still very large, even if you can't bring down Zhang Dun, it is no problem to convict Yang Yi.

Knocking down a Yang Yi can at least show the evil anger in his heart, because his father Han Zhongyan's charges are mainly collected by Yang Yi, for the Han family, there is already a national enemy and family hatred with Yang Yi, and they don't share the sky!

Thinking of this, Han Zhi decided to give it a go, for the sake of the old party, for the Han family, and even for himself, at the same time he forced Lu Xiji in, and the three of them conspired in the pavilion of the Fang Building for two whole hours, sorting out all the details before they dispersed.

After the last secret talk between Yang Yi and Zhang Dun, the pace of the New Party accelerated again, and the layout was racing against time.

Moreover, according to the strategy proposed by Yang Yi, most of the officials in charge of clearing the land were transferred to other places, and the officials of County A were transferred to County B, and County B was transferred to County C, so as to prevent malpractice in the process of clearing Zhangzhang as much as possible.

At the same time, taking advantage of the opportunity of several great liquidations, as much as possible to promote the officials who supported the new law to important posts, and further consolidate the power of the new party, Zhang Dian is not afraid of infamy, and the current situation is that whoever opposes the new policy will be immediately demoted, and Zhang Papi is worried that there will not be so many vacant seats for the members of the new party;

Under this high-pressure method, it began to be chaotic, and the opponents attacked it en masse, but Zhao Xu and Zhang Dian did not have the slightest intention of compromise, and as time went on, seeing that the opposition was ineffective, countless officials defected or remained silent; After all, no one wants to settle down in Lingnan, and not many people are willing to give up the official position that they have obtained by studying poetry and books for half a lifetime.

At the same time, the blow to the old party was not relaxed, and Zhang Dian set up a new department, which was specially responsible for sorting out the chapters and sparse of the ministers during the Yuanyou period, with the purpose of sorting out all the chapters and sparse that attacked the new law and persecuted the new party officials during the Yuanyou period, and used this as the basis for settling the detailed accounts.

And Yang Yi participated in the compilation of the "Records of the Divine Sect" is also going on day and night, and the lights in the National History Museum are constantly lit all night, this is the general program of the New Deal, and the New Party is waiting for it to correct its name? For this reason, Yang Yi often stayed up late in the National History Museum, so busy that it was dark, and there was no concept of time at all, so it can be said that there had never been a period in the Great Song Dynasty where the operation efficiency of the imperial court was so high.

Yang Yi couldn't stay up this morning, and came home rubbing his worried eyes, only to find that Li Qingzhao, a little Lori, was waiting for him in the gatehouse, frowning, and his eyes, which were originally as bright as stars, also became dim, and his face was full of worry and sadness.

Little Lori is smart and beautiful, everyone loves her, since the first time she came to the Yang family, the Yang family treats her as a daughter, and many novel and interesting things in the Yang family are also very attractive to Li Qingzhao, the two families are close, with the consent of his mother, she herself often runs to the Yang family with the ring to play, Yang Yi saw that she did not enter the house, but waited at the gate, and knew that something was wrong.

"Qing Niang, why do you stay here?"

As soon as he saw Yang Yi, Li Qingzhao's eyes suddenly burst into tears, and he jumped up to hug him in a panic and said, "Brother Yang, why did you come back?" Brother Yang, please help my father, save my father, the great grace and virtue of Qingniang will never forget......"

"Qingniang, don't worry!" Yang Yi said while helping her wipe her tears: "Let's make things clear first, if Brother Yang can help, he must do his best, tell me what is going on?" ”

After listening to Yang Yi's assurance, Li Qingzhao had something to rely on, and finally calmed down a little, blushing and letting go of the hands holding him, the little girl knew that she was shy! I was just too worried and lost my temper.

Li Qingzhao didn't know much, only heard from the mouth of the adults that her father was going to be relegated to Qiongzhou, she was familiar with poetry and books since she was a child, and knew that Qiongzhou was a wild place that would never return, her first thought was Yang Yi, and this time she pinned all her hopes on Yang Yi.

Yesterday she came to guard all day, but she didn't see Yang Yi, she was so anxious that she didn't sleep all night, and she came again early this morning, the Li family is now gloomy, and her mother, the prince, also suggested that her husband come to Yang Yi, but Li Gefei refused, he could ask Yang Yi for Su Shi's business, but for his own business, he couldn't pull that face, Wang knew that Yang Yi had a special good impression of Li Qingzhao, so he acquiesced to his daughter to run to Yang's house.

Yang Yi patted Li Qingzhao's little head and comforted: "Qingniang, don't worry, you go home with Qingye to rest first, I'll go and inquire and see how things are, don't worry, I will definitely try my best to make sure your father is okay." ”

Li Qingzhao stood by the door nervously, watching Yang Yi's figure disappear into the corner of the street, Qingye couldn't persuade her, she insisted on waiting in the gatehouse.
