When the cabinet scholars heard this, they were all stunned, and then their expressions became a little complicated.

The scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion and the scholars of East Pavilion both looked like they wanted to speak and stopped.

As the actual rulers of the imperial court, they naturally did not want to be affected by Gao Yu's affairs.

But, on the other hand, they don't want to leave a name for themselves in the history books in the future.

Therefore, it is very tangled at this moment.

Whether to stand firmly on the side of the regent, or stand up for Gao Yu, this is a difficult choice.

There was a moment of silence.

Several scholars still chose to give in, and they all chimed in: "Your Highness is reasonable. ”

Seeing this, Fang Xiu showed a warm smile on his face, and changed his words: "That being said, that Gao Yu is very old and has made contributions to the imperial court, so it seems that it is inappropriate to watch him starve to death in front of the palace gate like this."

When everyone heard this, they were stunned again, and suddenly raised their eyes to look at Fang Xiu, their eyes full of surprise.

Does the regent mean to compromise with Gao Yu?

If that's the case, the regent doesn't seem to be as tough as he thinks.

That's when the academics thought so.

Fang Xiu continued: "Even if he wants to starve to death, he has to go back to his own mansion and starve to death, after today, the Lone Society will set a rule, ordinary people, if they are not summoned by His Majesty, are not allowed to appear within a radius of one kilometer of the palace!" If anyone dares to go his own way, they will all be arrested by the Jinyi guard and sent to prison! ”

These words were so loud that they surprised the cabinet scholars again.

At this moment, the bachelors who have experienced two or three flips only feel that their brains are buzzing, and they don't know what to say for a while.

It was Xie Qian who reacted the fastest, and said, "Your Highness, the minister thinks this matter is inappropriate. ”

When several scholars heard this, they all cast surprised glances.

They didn't expect that Xie Qian would stand up against it at this time.

"Oh?"

Fang Xiu also looked at Xie Qian and asked, "Why is it wrong?" Let's talk about it. ”

Xie Qiandao: "Gao Yu, the minister knows a little, he is on a hunger strike this time, but he is ready to die, if he uses such a tough means against him, I am afraid that it will be in his arms, if he isolates himself in front of the palace gate, I am afraid that it will cause the anger of the readers, and it will not end well." ”

Well-founded and convincing.

It is worthy of Lord Shousuke, and the stakes are pointed out in just a few words, but if the regent still wants to establish prestige, it is impossible to continue such a strong method.

Several scholars looked at Xie Qian with a sense of respect in their eyes.

This time.

Fang Xiufeng said lightly: "Even if he is determined to die, he will have a weakness, and there is only a way to let him go home." ”

The voice fell.

Xie Qian immediately realized that the "there is a way" that the regent said was not so simple.

Sure enough, immediately afterwards, I heard Fang Xiu lower his voice and said in a very flat tone: "He has been on hunger strike for a few days, there are only a few reasons, one is that the position of his Ministry of Industry is not guaranteed, and he wants to use this to threaten Gu, the second is to covet fame and want to leave an unyielding image in the history books, and the third is to be dissatisfied with His Majesty and Gu from the bottom of his heart, thinking that His Majesty and Gu will mislead the court and the people.

Lonely knows in his heart that in the final analysis, the most important thing is the second point, reputation, since he cares about reputation, there is a way to deal with him, he has 30,000 acres of fertile land in his hometown, a few decades ago, because of these 30,000 acres of fertile land, how many farmers have lived miserably, because of his connivance, and how many gentry related to him, rampant in the township, these are his responsibilities.

These are the things that happened, and there are some rumors that catch the wind and shadows, such as that although he is old, his heart is not old, and he has the good of Longyang, and he has raised many young and strong subordinates in the mansion, and they serve him day and night."

The words are not finished yet.

Several cabinet scholars changed their faces, and it was difficult to see the extreme in one face.

Obviously, they didn't expect that Fang Xiu, as the regent, would arrange a second-grade senior member and a meritorious minister of the imperial court in front of them!

And with such meanness! So nasty! Such a dirty means!

It's shameless!

Now.

Even Xie Qian, who had always remained indifferent, was also angry from the bottom of his heart.

Side.

Fang Xiu still used a deep voice to talk about the methods he had prepared.

There is no bottom line in each method, and Xie Qian and the others who listened to it had their hairs standing on end.

Obviously he was in the warm pavilion, but it was like being in an ice cave, and his whole body was shrouded in cold.

A moment later.

After Fang Xiu finished talking about the prepared methods, his eyes turned around on several scholars, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Do you think that if Lone informs Gao Yu of these methods, will he continue to insist, or will he choose to give up?" ”

Several scholars looked extremely ugly, and they all bowed their heads and said nothing.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu showed a sneer and said, "Lone knows what you are thinking, it is nothing more than that Lone has no bottom line, and he is extremely shameless, to tell you the truth, Lone himself thinks so too."

However, these shameless methods are also learned from some of you in the final analysis, and sit down in front of the palace gate, holding the stove, and take your protégés, and start a hunger strike without saying a word, thinking that by doing so, Lone will definitely give them concessions!

Amusing! ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly raised his voice, slapped the table, and said sharply:

"To threaten Lone with such scoundrel means is unreasonable, since he is unreasonable, Lone is even more unreasonable, and the means used are more scoundrels than him!

Lonely doesn't care about the name behind him, and he doesn't care how the reader looks at the lonely, and he doesn't care how the reader looks at the lonely!

The words that Lone said just now were just talking, but if Gao Yu insisted on going his own way and insisting on going against Lone, those means would be used by Lone on him!

At that time, it is not only Jiang Yue's tabloid newspaper that publishes these news, but also Da Zhou Monthly, Da Qianyue, and Chang'an Weekly. Leave a stench for 10,000 years! ”

The voice fell.

The entire warm pavilion was silent.

Several cabinet scholars were all shocked by Fang Xiu's sudden burst of momentum, and lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

Even Xie Qian, who was very angry just now, chose to bow his head and remain silent.

Fang Xiu paused for a moment, and continued to say in a cold tone: "Xie Qian and a few of you, they are all pavilion elders, they are important ministers of Your Majesty and Lonely, there are many things that need to be done by you, but Lone hopes that you will understand that it is the same for everyone who is missing in the imperial court, and without you, there will be new talents."

Cherish the opportunity given to you by Your Majesty, cherish the importance that Lone attaches to you, do things in a down-to-earth manner, don't learn from that Gao Yu, cut yourself off from Your Majesty, cut yourself off from Lonely, and cut yourself off from the people of Da Zhou! ”

After speaking.

Fang Xiu's sharp gaze looked around, and without further words, he turned around and left Wenyuan Pavilion.

After he left, there was a long silence in the Wenyuan Pavilion.

I don't know how long it took.

Xie Qian's vicissitudes of life and a heavy voice sounded slowly.

"According to what His Royal Highness said, draw up a note, from now on, without His Majesty's permission, no one outside the palace and the yamen of the six ministries and nine kings shall not approach the palace."

Several scholars did not speak, but silently returned to their positions and continued to vote.

At this moment, no one talked about Gao Yu, who was still on a hunger strike.

Because after facing Fang Xiu directly, they all clearly understood.

In front of this regent who has no bottom line, does things sharply, and has ruthless methods, Gao Yu and his protégés, as well as those scholars in Jinnan City, can't set off any waves!

Outside the palace gates.

Gao Yu, who was wearing a fox fur, holding a hand stove, next to the stove, closed his eyes and breathed evenly.

He hadn't eaten for two days, and his lips were a little pale, but his mind was still clear.

No one knows it better than he does.

The regent Fang Xiu will never compromise easily.

Therefore, he is ready to starve to death here.

When he dies, the scholars behind him will set off a storm that will be unbearable for the regent.

When the time comes, the regent will have to compromise!

He is going to fight the Lord Regent with his life!

Minutes and seconds passed.

A howling cold wind blew.

Behind him, hundreds of students shuddered.

Meanwhile.

Patches of small snowflakes fell slowly, as white as jade.

When the scholars saw this, they began to talk in a whisper.

"This weather, it's snowing again, and I'm afraid that the old man's body can't support it!"

"Elder Gao has been sitting here for three days, and he hasn't eaten a bite of food for nearly three days, isn't there a reaction in the palace?"

"The newly enthroned empress and that regent are really hard-hearted, and they can't bear to let Gao Lao starve to death and freeze to death here?"

There was anger in the scholars' tones.

That's when it happened.

Not far away, there was a sudden sound of neat footsteps.

Immediately afterwards, I saw a brocade guard wearing a flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife at his waist appeared in front of the walls of Miyagi.

"Jin Yiwei? Could it be that His Majesty is here? ”

"Your Majesty is finally here!"

When the scholars saw this scene, their faces showed surprise, and they all felt that they had seen the dawn of hope.

I just waited for a long time and didn't see His Majesty, nor did I see the Regent.

Not even the Cabinet Scholars.

Only one looked at the mediocre Jinyi Wei Qianhu and walked to the front.

He took out a document from his bosom, opened it, and read solemnly:

"From now on, except for the officials and servants of the palace and the six ministries and nine kings, without the permission of His Majesty, no one is allowed to approach a radius of one kilometer from the palace.

After speaking, he took the document back into his arms, looked around, and said coldly: "Give you half an hour's time, leave quickly, otherwise you will be escorted to prison!" ”

The voice fell.

There was silence.

A moment later.

A lively discussion erupted.

The scholars' eyes widened with exasperation.

"How can there ever be a provision in the laws of the Great Zhou that we are not allowed to approach the palace? If you do this, you are not afraid of leaving a name for yourself in the history books! ”

"So arbitrary! Compared to the emperor, it is even better! You guys. Shame on you! ”

"A group of shameless eagle dogs, we want to see Your Majesty, we want to see the Regent, we want to see the Pavilion Elder!"

The soldiers shouted angrily.

Gao Yu still sat on the ground with his eyes closed, deaf to the sounds coming from around him.

It's as if everything that's happening at this moment has nothing to do with him.

Snowflakes fell slowly and landed on his gray hair, adding a bit of vicissitudes to him.

The brocade guards faced the angry soldiers, without any expression on their faces, just standing in place like sculptures.

And Jinyi Wei Qianhu directly ignored these scholars, walked up to Gao Yu, squatted down, and said in a low voice:

"Xie Ge Lao asked the humble post to tell the elder Gao, if the elder Gao insisted on going his own way, within a day, the major newspapers would publish articles to tell the world that the old man has the good of Longyang and likes to raise young and strong men.

In addition, the fertile fields of Gao Lao's hometown, the mansions in various state capitals, and the descendants of Gao Lao will be implicated."

Jinyi Wei Qianhu's tone was very flat, and he said the time of a stick of incense in one breath, and said all the "shameless" means.

Gao Yu listened, and his mind was in a trance.

It took a while to realize what was happening, and when he opened his eyes, he looked at the Jinyi Wei Qianhu in front of him with disbelief.

At the moment, he thought he was having auditory hallucinations.

After all, no matter how you say it, Xie Qian is also his best friend, how could he use such a despicable and shameless means.

Soon, he realized.

These methods were not thought up by Xie Qian, but by the regent Fang Xiu.

Even so, he felt a little incredulous.

Fang Xiu, the dignified prime minister and the regent of the Great Zhou, although he was notorious in the past few years, he has also had an excellent reputation among the people in recent years.

How could such a person come up with the methods of these ruffians!

Even more despicable and shameless than the ruffians!

After a trance, there is a surge of anger.

His eyes widened, staring at the brocade-clothed Wei Qianhu in front of him, stretched out his finger and pointed at him, his voice trembling: "You, you."

You didn't say the next word for a long time.

Seeing this, Jinyi Wei Qianhu said in a flat tone: "Humble duty to persuade the elder Gao to calm down, if he accidentally dies here, I am afraid that the wisdom of the first life will be ruined, and his wife and children will also be implicated." ”

“.”

Such a blatant threat made Gao Yu more and more angry.

But at the same time, a wave of fear has risen.

He wasn't afraid of death, but the methods Fang Xiu used against him were even more difficult for him to accept than Ling Chidu!

Meantime.

He knew it in his heart.

It was really possible for Fang Xiu to use these methods against him.

After all, the major newspapers were in Fang Xiu's hands.

The people trust the contents of the newspapers, especially the Jiangyue tabloid and the big weekly monthly newspaper.

If Fang Xiuzhen did that, let alone him Gao Yu and his descendants.

Even the entire surname Gao may be disgraced by it.

"As a regent, there is no bottom line, it is simply shameless!"

"He is not afraid that others will use the same means against him in the future!"

Gao Yu's face turned red because of anger.

It took a while to gradually calm down.

Side.

Jinyi Wei Qianhu reminded again.

"Elder Xie Ge gave Elder Gao the opportunity to know his way back, I hope Elder Gao can grasp it well, an hour is enough for Elder Gao to leave here."

When Gao Yu heard this, his face showed a tangled look.

A moment later.

He gritted his teeth, looked at the servant not far away, and said, "Help the old man up." ”
