In front of Shen Mu were two informants from the north.

The first one is about Mrs. Lu. Shen Mu was not surprised by the death of Mrs. Lu, he got the news a few years ago that Mrs. Lu was seriously ill, and people of such an age could be regarded as happy and mournful. To his surprise, the heir after the death of Mrs. Lu was not Lu Binzhi, and he continued to be under house arrest and lost his position as the lord forever.

Shen Mu sighed and said, "Old Lady Lu's eldest son passed away very early, so Old Prince Lu is particularly fond of the two grandsons of Changfang. After Lu Binmi's death, I thought that the position of the lord must be in Lu Binzhi's pocket, but I didn't expect that Mrs. Lu would be replaced when she was dying. ”

Lan Jinhai replied: "The vitality of the Lu family has been greatly damaged by Lu Bin's harm, and the old lady Lu always has to give the clansmen an explanation, after all, no matter how much he likes Lu Binzhi, he has to consider the entire Lu family, and it is reasonable to set up another lord." ”

Lan Jinhai asked, "Old lady Lu has passed away, does the son want to go to Fanyang to mourn?" ”

Shen Mu smiled and said, "Forget it, Old Lady Lu won't like to see me, you can choose an elder from the door to go on my behalf." ”

Shen Mu had a dragon fight with "Jiang Gongzi", it was he who pulled this proud son of heaven with high hopes of the Lu family down from the altar step by step, Zuihou was rushed by Yang Fan, and kicked "Jiang Gongzi" down, to get to the bottom of it, all of this stemmed from Shen Mu's betrayal of Jiang Gongzi.

Then, Shen Mu cooperated with Yang Fan to perform a good show, calculated all the seven great families, and since then he has been out of the control of the seven great families, so he and the Lu family can be said to have a lot of grievances, and there is really no need to go to condolence, because the person the Lu family hates the most is Yang Fan, followed by him.

Lan Jinhai said: "Lu Binmi, this person is shrewd and capable, and he single-handedly created the Succession Hall. He has a deep foundation in the Succession Hall, has many henchmen, and has the identity of the heir of the Lu Valve Lord, once he takes over as the Sect Master of the Successor Hall in the future, the result can be imagined.

Even if the Seven Great Families do not allow him to be in charge of the Lu Valve as the Sect Master of the Succession Hall, then he can also arrange a cronie to be in charge of the Succession Hall, and when the time comes, the Lu Lord's shili will join forces with the Successor Hall, and the Lu family will definitely become the first person of the Seven Sects and the Five Surnames!

As long as this pattern remains unchanged, the Lu family can always sit in this position, and this result is something that other major families are unwilling to see. Therefore, Gongzi fought against Lu Gongzi, why did he not have the secret support and cooperation of other major families. But this wicked man let Childe do it. ”

Shen Mu smiled: "Are you upset for me?" Anyway, after all, I have benefited the most, and besides, by overthrowing the momentum of Lu Gongzi, didn't I easily get out of the control of the Seven Great Families. By virtue of this one, I, a wicked man, have not been wronged. ”

Shen Mu smiled and picked up the second secret report. Take a closer look. But he couldn't help frowning deeply, this secret report was about the Sutra. Shen Mu read the secret report carefully, handed it to Lan Jinhai and said, "Jinhai, you come and take a look." ”

Lan Jinhai took the secret report and read it carefully, and couldn't help frowning, and said, "Xianzong Shili has infiltrated the north?" Yang Fan didn't say. They choose the east and the south, and don't they compete with my hidden sect for profit? ”

Shen Mu muttered: "It is said that it is based on two parties, after all, it is not as clear as the two countries, and the scope of each other's shili can be clearly demarcated." Maybe it's just the normal business of Sutra, it's just blurring the boundaries......"

Lan Jinhai said: "Childe, their people have already appeared in Zhuo County, if this is just high blood pressure that blurs the boundaries, will it be considered to invade us when they develop Shili to Beihai and reach the barren land where Su Wu shepherds sheep." ”

Shen Mu was silent. Lan Jinhai said with a vigilant face: "Childe, Chang'an belongs to the West and is within the scope of my Yinzong Shili, but their Shili in Chang'an is even stronger than ours."

Yang Fan has a great Shili in the official, which is the advantage of Xianzong, so I can not mention it for the time being. However, the Yang family has a large number of shop properties in the eastern and western cities, and through these expansions and infiltration, they have a pivotal position in Chang'an.

The Yang family owns many granges in Qizhou and is the largest landowner in Xiqi, through these, he also has a lot of connections with the local wealthy families in Guanzhong, and the relationship between the Guanzhong and Yang Fan is even more well-known.

There is also Cao Yun, which is from the west to the east, with the east as the head and the west as the tail. Although Caoyun has now been handed over to us for control, they are like the sea of kindness to the Shunzi Gate, as long as he says a word, the Shunzi Gate can betray me, so he controls the tail of the Caoyun.

In this way, we can't help but be cautious, and now that they are meddling in Hebei Province and squeezing out the territory of my Xianzong, what will they do next? ”

Shen Mu frowned and said, "Jin Hai, you're thinking too much." Although Chang'an belongs to the west, after all, it is the imperial capital, and it is also the foundation of Xianzong.

Besides, Yang Fan's fields in Qizhou, his shops in Chang'an, his relationship with the Guanlong family, and his friendship with the Shunzimen were all things he had established before the two sects of Xianyin divided the scope of shili, and they were not hostile to my Yinzong. ”

Lan Jinhai said: "Jin Hai is your staff, if you blindly compliment and say good things, then you will have the trust of the son, and Jin Hai must say what he should say." When you first entered the Succession Hall, did you ever have the idea of fighting against 'Jiang Gongzi'? ”

Shen Mu was slightly stunned, and his face sank.

Lan Jinhai said: "Many things, at first, it is not that a person has any thoughts, but with the development of his shili and the needs of interests, it will naturally change, and it does not depend on the sect master alone, but on the sect master and everyone who follows the sect master."

The Xianzong has never been angry with the Yin Sect, you don't deny this, right? Now that the various actions of the Xianzong have aroused a lot of dissatisfaction among my subordinates of the Yin Sect, if the sect master allows the Xianzong to go on like this, without taking precautions and counterattacks, he will only be afraid of being humiliated...... The story of Jiang Gongzi that day will be repeated in Gongzi. ”

Shen Mu's body was shocked, it was Jiang Gongzi who appreciated him, introduced him into the heir hall, and promoted him to be reused. But with the development, gradually a group of people gathered around him, had their own henchmen, and had their own shili, and everything began to change.

At that time, he had no idea of rebelling against Jiang Gongzi. But with Jiang Gongzi's suppression, exclusion, and checks and balances, as the people around him continued to suffer grievances and vent complaints, he unconsciously embarked on the road of confrontation with Jiang Gongzi, until water and fire were incompatible.

Will this scene really be repeated?

Throughout the ages, in one dynasty after another, the familiar stories have been staged repeatedly, is it all for the same reason? Is it true that people in the rivers and lakes must be involuntarily? Is it that in the struggle for power, you must either be willing to lie in wait, or you can only have me without you? Is it because he has too much wishful thinking about the idea of reciprocity? He and Yang Fan, after all, will one mountain not tolerate two tigers?

Shen Mu pondered quietly for a long time. Only then did he slowly order: "Xianzong has crossed the border in Hebei Province, so you might as well squeeze them out with color, but ...... No use of force. You report the news of the death of Mrs. Lu and the permanent house arrest of Lu Binzhi to Yang Fan. Let me know more about it. Talk to him at an opportunity. ”

Lan Jinhai was wary of the strong rise of the Xianzong and the invasion of the hidden sect Shili infiltration Xiu, and admonished Shen Mu bitterly. Zhang Cambodia and others also gradually heard the news that the emperor frequently entered and left the Liang Palace. I can't wait to advise Li Xian.

At first, when Wu Sansi frequently went in and out of the harem, Zhang Cambodia and others did not know that Li Xian had visited Wu Sansi first, and thought that Wu Sansi saw that Li Tang was gaining power and deliberately stammered, so he acquiesced to Huan Yanfan's strategy and slandered Wu Sansi for fornicating with Empress Wei.

It's not glamorous to do. Moreover, slandering Wu Sansi also ruined the reputation of the empress, which would inevitably damage the emperor's reputation, not by loyal ministers, but they were extremely dissatisfied with Empress Wei's move to pre-govern and expand the country. Just as he wanted to pull Empress Wei off the horse, where the righteousness was, it would become a big thing.

But hearing that the emperor frequently visited the Liang Palace, Zhang Cambodia began to feel that Huan Yanfan's Jihua might not be able to succeed, King Liang entered and exited the palace, you spread rumors that he had an affair with Empress Wei, and the emperor was lucky in the Liang Palace, so what is the explanation? Could it be that the emperor and Princess Liang had an affair?

And the purpose of spreading rumors is not to make Wu Sansi stink, but to provoke the emperor, so that the emperor will alienate the Wu family, and finally achieve the goal of weakening or even eradicating the Wu family, so as to make new contributions.

However, since it was the emperor who frequently made overtures to the Wu clan first, and Wu Sansi was ordered to enter the palace by the emperor, can this rumor still achieve the desired effect? Would the emperor believe such nonsense? And the emperor knows very well who is going to get rid of the martial arts family, once he doubts them, will it be self-defeating?

What is particularly worrying is what is the purpose of the emperor being so close to the Wu family? Don't...... The emperor wants the rabbit to die and the dog cooks, and he has attacked the heroes who single-handedly supported him to the throne?

Until this time, Zhang Khan and his party did not think that after they supported Li Xian to ascend the throne, they vigorously cultivated their cronies, made chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, and took pride in controlling the government and forcing Li Xian to be a wise monarch who ruled with a bow.

They feel aggrieved because they don't have a sense of disobedience. They cultivate their cronies because they believe that the people they promote are loyal to the court and have real talents, and they promote these people to be more loyal to the court. If you don't have to get close to people who are familiar and close to you, do you want to promote some dissidents to drag you back?

As for letting the Son of Heaven be a virtuous ruler who rules vertically, is this the highest state that courtiers have been striving for throughout the ages? This is the most ideal political pattern, this is all for the good of the emperor and the good of the people, as for whether the emperor himself is willing to ......, when the general trend is the trend, the emperor has to agree if he is not willing!

But now it is clear that the emperor is not willing to appear this "general trend", he is not willing to follow the plan of Zhang Cambodia and others to be a saint of heaven, in order to get rid of their shackles, he began to seek the support of other shili.

Zhang Cambodia and others became nervous, after the Japanese court meeting, a group of backbone elements of the meritorious party did not leave the palace, they rushed to the political party under various pretexts, and after Wu Sansi and other people left the palace one after another, they wanted to pay homage to the Son of Heaven under the leadership of the five prime ministers, and kill the Wu family!
