Di Qing is a soldier, pure soldiers don't understand politics, in their world, black is black, white is white, right is right, and wrong is wrong. In the face of injustice, his counterattack was straightforward - he brought the complaint to the emperor.

This made Wen Yanbo unexpected, he didn't expect Di Qing to become the minister of the Western Mansion, he was still a second pole in the officialdom, and he didn't know what it meant to be subtle - in the eyes of cultivated civil officials, the so-called 'being a man and leaving a line, and seeing each other well in the future', no matter how fierce the fight was, should maintain a superficial harmony, and stabbing the matter to the emperor is tantamount to making the contradiction public, and the result can only be a complete tear of the face and never die.

So when the internal supervisor summoned him to the palace for an audience, Wen Yanbo was determined to persevere to the end, even if he stood on the opposite side of the official family.

The heavy rain for months has been intermittent, and it just doesn't rain at this time. But the palace was still cold and damp, and even the officials wore silk shoes. After ordering the prime minister to sit down, the two looked at each other silently for a long time, only to hear Zhao Zhen whisper: "Di Qing is a loyal minister. For the king, this is the main premise, and only loyal ministers will gain the king's trust.

The official family said this, which is tantamount to defining Di Qing and putting an end to this matter - Di is a loyal minister, and those who drive away loyal ministers are naturally traitors, Wen Aiqing, you don't want to be a traitor, right?

Of course, with Zhao Zhen's cultivation and level, he will not let his prime minister not be able to come to power.

However, he didn't say anything to death, and also gave Wen Yanbo a chance to fight back, only to see Prime Minister Wen Cheng be silent for a moment, then raised his head and said softly: "Isn't Taizu a loyal minister of Zhou Shizong?" ”

The first smart person in the Great Song Dynasty also used a few words to fight back against the official family.

Zhao Zhen was dumbfounded, how do you ask him to answer? Saying no, doesn't that mean admitting that your ancestor is a disloyal and unfilial rebel thief? said yes, why did you add a yellow robe and become self-reliant?

This is the arrogance of the scholars of the Song Dynasty, who dared to openly regard the founding monarch as a negative teaching material in front of the emperor, and their words were soaked with the scholars' scrutiny and disrespect for the imperial power...... In the eyes of these famous ministers and doctors, no matter how much Zhao Kuangyin's actions are whitewashed, they cannot get rid of the notoriety of stealing the country and usurping the throne...... Don't say what you were forced by your subordinates, if you are really loyal to Sejong, you should defend your innocence to the death!

Zhao Zhen could not defend his ancestors, because all emperors demanded that his subjects be 'loyal and patriotic', so he could no longer say anything for Di Qing...... Wen Yanbo, who has long understood the emperor's mentality, believes that the official family will definitely be like this.

Speaking of which, he is also a dangerous move, even if he talks about the ancestors of ordinary people, it is an offense, let alone the emperor...... It's just that whoever let Di Qing, the second goods, go directly to the emperor to complain, and he can only accompany him to commit the second crime.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a short period of stunnedness, the official stared at Wen Yanbo tightly, as if he had never known his prime minister. What's worse is that his usually warm and warm gaze gradually became cold.

Wen Yanbo recognized this kind of gaze, ten years ago, he presented Zhang Guifei Lantern Brocade, and after the incident, the official family had this kind of look...... In an instant, he realized that something was wrong, and his back was soaked with sweat in an instant.

However, the official family has fallen silent and no longer gives him a chance to speak.

But don't say it, it's absolutely not okay, Wen Yanbo said stubbornly: "May I ask the official family, how to decide whether Di Qing will stay or not." ”

Zhao Zhen didn't speak, just looked at him indifferently.

Wen Yanbo then remembered, what is 'accompanying the king like accompanying the tiger', how could he treat the longest-reigning emperor of the Great Song Dynasty as a sick cat?

"Your Minister, Holy Judge." Wen Yanbo's forehead was also covered with sweat, and he got up and said deeply.

This is to force the official family to make a statement, and on the verge of Wen Yanbo's collapse, Zhao Zhen finally spoke: "The Qing family will go back first......"

Although there was still no will, but finally ended this suffocating pairing, Wen Yanbo gave a deep salute: "Weichen retires." ”

Looking at Wen Yanbo's figure, disappearing outside the heavy curtains of the palace, Zhao Zhen retracted his gaze, his face was as gloomy as the sky outside.

After sitting for a long time, Zhao Zhen took out a secret document from the jade box in his hand, and saw that on the cover, there were three big characters written 'On Di Qing', and there was a line of small characters below, 'Chen Ouyang Xiu's secret play'.

Rubbing the cover of the chapter, Zhao Zhen let out a long sigh and said, "Word for word, I really let Ouyang Xiu say it." ”

Beside him stood Hu Yandui, the provincial eunuch, and Shi Quanbin, the imperial city secretary, who were Zhao Zhen's closest confidants and eunuchs. The former was born fat and blessed, but he just whispered: "The saint is angry." Then he poured half a basin of warm water from the thermos, soaked the face towel, wrung it out, and presented it to the emperor.

Zhao Zhen took the face towel and put it on the left eyebrow bone, whenever he was very angry, his eyes would hurt. The warmth from the towel relieved the pain of the official family a little, and he asked Shi Quanbin, "How is the investigation?" ”

"A few rumors mentioned in the Zhongshu Provincial Chapter," Shi Quanbin's face was gloomy, and his duty was that he couldn't hang up like the former, and reported in a low voice: "The old slave has already found out some eyebrows." ”

"......" Zhao Zhen didn't make a sound, and applied the right eyebrow bone again.

"Regarding the rumors that Di Xianggong wore a yellow robe in the middle of the night, it is certain that he was actually wearing a monk's robe." Shi Quanbin said softly: "Regarding the strange fire of the Di family in the middle of the night, in fact, on that day, the Di family was making Jiao, but the housekeeper of the Di Mansion forgot to report to the Kaifeng Mansion. At that time, Yin Wangqi of Kaifeng Mansion once led people to fight the fire, only to know that it was a misunderstanding. ”

"There is also the matter of the Di family's dog giving birth to two horns," Shi Quanbin said: "It is said that there is indeed it, but at the first time, it was slaughtered by Di Xianggong, and that fasting Jiao was to drive away evil spirits." ”

"Hehe......" Zhao Zhen's face finally showed a slight smile and said: "It turns out that my general is also afraid of ghosts and gods." Saying that, he smiled and asked Hu Yandui: "Old Hu, are you afraid of ghosts?" ”

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid." Mr. Hu smiled and said, "But the old slave is by the saint's side, and the ghosts and gods dare not get close." ”

"Hahaha......" Zhao Zhen was amused, shook his head, and said gloomily: "In fact, in this world, the most terrifying thing is not ghosts, but people." ”

"The old slave can't understand it, what's so terrible about people?" Manager Hu said strangely.

"The human heart is unpredictable." Zhao Zhen sighed faintly, and suddenly said, "What's more, he still has a criminal record......

Hu Yandui and Shi Quanbin looked at each other, I don't know if this is Wen Yanbo. If so, then the trouble for the minister will be big......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back in the political hall, Wen Yanbo's face darkened. Sitting in the signing room, he immediately ordered someone to contact the secret line in the palace to inquire about what ** soup someone poured into the official family in the past two days.

In just half a day, he learned about Ouyang Xiu's dismissal to the official family, although there is no way to know the content of the dismissal, but the change in the attitude of the official family is obviously related to this. This brought a great shock to Wen Yanbo...... The reason why he dared to attack Di Qing without real evidence before was that the civilian team was on his side, and even if someone disagreed with it, he would not speak for Di Qing.

This has just started the war, and the opinion leaders of the Great Song Dynasty have stood on the opposite side...... Fortunately, it was just a secret performance, and no one knew about it, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Prime Minister, how should we deal with it?" Governor Wang Yaochen asked softly: "Is it inconvenient to think about it in the long run?" ”

"You can't delay it too long, and if it's too late, things will change." Wen Yanbo is extremely determined. Fight the tiger and not die, but suffer from it, this time no matter what, Di Qing must be completely defeated, so that he will never be able to turn over.

Seeing that Wang Yaochen's face was a little pale, Wen Yanbo snorted coldly and explained: "This rain is about to come to an end, and the flood will soon recede. Once the flood has passed, the two things that have been suppressed will have to be brought up again, and when the time comes, we will be anxious and too busy to take care of ourselves, who can take care of Di Hanchen? ”

Wang Yaochen knew that the two things Wen Yanbo said, one was the prison of the Liuta River and the other was the proposal of the establishment of the prince, both of which affected the nerves of the government and the opposition, and it was only because of the interruption of the flood that it stopped for a month or two. One can imagine what kind of energy will erupt when the flood waters recede and government affairs resume operation.

To tell the truth, although Wen Yanbo accumulated considerable prestige during the flood fight, it is also very likely that he will fall in the subsequent political wave. If you don't hurry up and put Di Qing down first, then the unlucky one in the future will definitely be him Wen Yanbo.

Of course, this is what the civil officials themselves think, and Di Qing never thought of revenge.

"How do we do that?" Unifying his thoughts, Wang Yaochen asked.

"Alas......" Wen Yanbo sighed and said, "I can't say it, I have to use some means." As he spoke, he picked up his pen and wrote down an order in the notebook dedicated to the government hall, but he did not sign it.

Wang Yaochen took it and looked at it, and his face changed: "This, it will make people misunderstand." ”

"All I want is that he misunderstands." Wen Yanbo said coldly: "Frightened bow bird, why bother? ”

"If the officials find out, they will be furious." Wang Yaochen said worriedly.

"Don't worry." Wen Yanbo said coldly: "This official is responsible for this matter. Saying that, he sighed and said, "You go to Han Xianggong and let him take a look, he will help you." ”

"And the ministers, let them go to the book." Wen Yanbo continued: "When you are desperate, you can't hide it anymore. ”

"Yes." Wang Yaochen nodded, looked at the opposite room, and said in a low voice: "Fu Xianggong's side ......"

"The rich minister is a virtuous gentleman, don't bother him." Wen Yanbo snorted coldly and said, "He agrees to write in the name of the Political Affairs Hall, which is already the limit. ”
