King of Song

Chapter 661
Lu Huiqing is very unwilling, she is so painstaking and lonely, planning for the government, loyal, capable and strategic, what is it for?
Isn't it the position of prime minister?

Seeing the success is imminent, but found that it was nothing but joy, Han Qi actually came out of the mountain again, this is the result that he never thought of anyway.

It's really unexpected that a person who was forced to resign and retire for retirement was directly ignored.

Lu Huiqing knew very well that in terms of qualifications, she was far inferior to Han Qi.But can his loyalty be compared with his own?Isn't Han Qi's fate today the result of persecution by the officials?

Han Qi lost his nephew, was ashamed, and ended up miserable, would he still contribute to the government?Don't the officials doubt his loyalty at all?

Lu Huiqing's news is still very well-informed. He can learn the news of Han Qi's return to Bianjing in time, so he can naturally know that this is the empress dowager's proposal.

That's right, how could the officials want to use Han Qi because of their suspicion?I'm afraid it's hard for the officials to refuse if the empress dowager proposes it.

Although Han Qi came back, Zhao Xu, the official, was still worried. He was definitely suspicious.

This is the opportunity!
After all, the news of Han Qi's return has not been made public, and the officials have never publicly stated that Han Qi will be their prime minister, at least there will be a time lag before the announcement.If it can be used, it may be possible to reverse the situation.

Just when Lu Huiqing was depressed and planning, Li Ding and Shu Quan came together.These two were originally Wang Anshi's students, but they had a close relationship with Lu Huiqing, especially after Wang Xianggong's downfall, they completely leaned towards Lu Huiqing.

It has to be said that Wang Anshi's education really failed, and the students he brought out were all white-eyed wolves.

"Su Zizhan has recruited!"

"Really?" Lu Huiqing's heavy heart was full of surprises, or mixed feelings!
Li Dingdao: "Yes, Su Shi admitted that he meant to be sarcastic and opposed to the reform, but he never said anything about despising the court and disrespecting the king!"

"Is that still a trick?" Lu Huiqing said coldly: "These things are obvious, and they are not painful or itchy. Now the opposition from the officials is so fierce, if there is no real evidence, how can we convince the public?"

Shu Yu is completely a younger brother, a little bit agitated by Lu Huiqing's dominance, he repeatedly smiled and said: "Yes, although he did not plead guilty, but Su Zizhan revealed a few related people."

"Oh?" Lu Huiqing frowned slightly. The development of this case has gone out of control, and more and more people are involved.Although it can strike some political opponents and play a shocking role, in the future, my group will be able to occupy a place in the Great Song Dynasty Hall.

But Lu Huiqing also knew that the more people involved, the more troublesome it would be to deal with in the end.This is something that has caused public outrage, as evidenced by the recent strong backlash from scholar-bureaucrats.What I am most afraid of is that too many people will be implicated, and there will be a situation where the law does not blame the public.Therefore, under the current circumstances, it may not be a good thing for Su Shi to confess more people!
However, there are always exceptions to everything. Although Lu Huiqing was unhappy, she still read Su Shi's testimony in a state of free will.

Lu Huiqing's eyes lit up when she saw the word "Han Qi" on the list.

Su Shi's matter actually involved Han Qi, what a surprise!
Lu Huiqing took a look, then questioned Li Ding and Shu Quan carefully, and got a lot of information.For example, Su Shi's younger brother Su Zhe once wrote an article "The Book of the Privy Secretary Han Taiwei", Han Taiwei Han Qi also!

After Su Shi passed the system examination, Han Qi admired him very much. Emperor Yingzong once wanted to reuse Su Shi and directly promoted him to be a student of daily life. Cultivate him so that all the scholars in the world will respect and admire him. They all want to use him in the court, and then call him to use him. Then everyone will have no objection. Now he is suddenly reused, and the scholars in the world may not think it is right. Just enough to get him involved."

Han Qi's suggestion at that time prevented Su Shi from being criticized by others, which was of great benefit to his gradual development.So much so that Su Shi himself said with emotion: "Han Gong can be said to love people and virtue." For this reason, he wrote poems to Han Qi, praised him, and compared him with the famous officials of ancient Yi Yin and Zhou Gongdeng.

Hehe, although it is just a general compliment, it has a special meaning when it falls into the hands of the censor.Sima Guang can be implicated in a poem, why not Han Qi?

If he is also involved in this matter, he will inevitably be punished. With the official's suspicious character, I don't know how he will be treated.The original doubts in my heart will become more and more intense, so can Han Qi still be the prime minister?
Anyway, the news hasn't been announced yet, and it's not surprising to change people. At the same time, you can clear up your suspicions, so why not do it?

For Lu Huiqing, this was the last counterattack. How could he miss the opportunity to prevent Han Qi from becoming prime minister?Having made up his mind, Lu Huiqing decided to implement it immediately, so he didn't care about the remaining names on the list.I never noticed that these people are inextricably linked with the honorable family and the six departments and nine ministers...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Su Shi's case continued to ferment, and the reaction of the scholar-official class became stronger and stronger.

Many people know that behind Su Shi's case is the game between the officials and King Qin.But they can't stay out of it. If the tradition of not killing scholar-bureaucrats is broken, there will undoubtedly be very serious consequences.

Who will dare to speak up in the future?Who dares to tell the truth?If you are not careful, you will be caught by your political opponents, and then framed at will. It is easy to lose your reputation, and the worst thing is to ruin your family.

The literati in the Song Dynasty had a strong character. They emphasized the study of sages and sages, and emphasized righteousness.They despise, let alone tolerate literary inquisition.

It has to be said that Lu Huiqing chose a very good and effective way to put Qin Wang Zhao Zhao into a very bad situation.The goal was achieved, but he also caused a lot of trouble, touching the bottom line of the scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty, which he never expected.It is also possible that it is difficult for a villain to understand the open mind of a gentleman.

After Wu Chong, the prime minister and Xuanfu envoy of Hebei Road, another heavyweight came forward. The empress dowager Cao publicly said: "In the past, Emperor Renzong was very happy to return the virtuous and good, and said: 'I am now the prime minister of peace for my descendants. Two people', Gai Shi and Zhe Ye, is it possible to kill them?"

Su Shi was a person whom Emperor Renzong publicly praised, and he believed that he was a prime minister. Such a person would fool the court and despise the king?The subtext is asking, is there something wrong with Emperor Renzong's vision, or is Yushitai wronging a good person?
The noble identities of Emperor Renzong and the Empress Dowager make this sentence particularly weighty.For a while, Yushitai was under tremendous pressure.It is not surprising that there is pressure. This matter is too important, so Lu Huiqing is willing to withstand the pressure, and is even willing to go all the way to the dark.

To the empress dowager's question, their answer was that Su Shi was at fault.It was Su Shi who ignored Emperor Renzong's trust and expectations, was arrogant, defiant, and made mistakes.

The official Zhao Xu was naturally noncommittal, no matter what Cao said, no matter how credible he was, he would not accept it.In addition to the fact that Empress Dowager Cao is a fan of Su Shi, more importantly, she will definitely help Zhao Zhao.

Zhao Xu knew very well that this Empress Dowager was no longer the imperial grandmother who cared for her.Now she is afraid that there is only her "son" in her heart, and she wants to help her son kill her grandson.

Zhao Xu has a lot of complaints about Cao Shi, can he listen to what he said?Therefore, he pretended not to hear many things, dealt with them casually, and then handed over all the following things to Yushitai.If someone plays a bad face, then you have to be a bad face and be a fair face.

What the Empress Dowager Cao said can be ignored temporarily, but the other person cannot be ignored.Wang Shen is an important person in this case. He had a close relationship with Su Shi and secretly reported to Su Shi. Such a person is a typical case and must be dealt with severely.

But Wang Shen has another identity, the son-in-law of Zhao Baoan, the eldest princess of the Kingdom of Shu!

Although the relationship between the husband and wife is not good, Wang Shen deliberately treated the princess coldly, even sleeping in the flowers and lying in the willows, and raising another housewife.Zhao Baoan knew all about it, and had cried and made troubles before. After exhausting all kinds of methods, Wang Shen's attitude towards her began to gradually improve.

Just hope!Zhao Baoan firmly believes that he is tender, gentle and considerate, and one day he will completely influence the son-in-law.It is really not easy for the eldest princess, born of the empress dowager, to be wronged to this extent, which shows how deep Zhao Baoan's feelings for Wang Shen are.

Now that the son-in-law is implicated in Su Shi's case, Zhao Baoan naturally knows the purpose of the emperor's brother, and also knows how important he is.She has no objection to King Qin, but she cannot implicate her husband.

But at present, Yushitai's behavior is aggressive, and he doesn't care about the identity of Wang Shen's son-in-law at all, and even visits to summon him.Zhao Baoan was wondering if her husband would have arrested them and taken them to Wutai if he hadn't stopped them as the eldest princess.

She believed that Brother Huang must have known about the situation, but did not stop him.Does he not care about his own sister so much?For his so-called great event, even the happiness of his brother-in-law and his own sister must be sacrificed?In the past, people always said that Brother Huang was cold, but she didn't feel it, but now she felt it deeply.
Zhao Baoan originally wanted to beg the emperor's brother Zhao Xu by himself, but he was afraid that his own people would speak lightly, so after much deliberation, he decided to beg his mother, Gao Taotao, to come forward.The emperor may not care about the relationship between brother and sister, but what about the relationship between mother and child?What about the most basic filial piety for a son of man?

Seeing her daughter coming, Gao Taotao naturally explained her reason for coming, and said: "Don't worry, my mother will think of a way to deal with the matter of the son-in-law. There is only one thing, you should warn him, and never mix with messy people again. .”

"Yes!" With his mother's promise, Zhao Baoan felt more at ease.

The daughter was relieved, but Gao Taotao became more and more uneasy.More and more people are involved in the Wutai poetry case, and it is getting more and more difficult.Especially after receiving the news that Han Qi was also implicated, Gao Taotao couldn't sit still anymore!
