Zhang Yue took a car to his father-in-law's house.
The servants in the Wu Mansion saw Zhang Yue's carriage with sharp eyes and immediately stepped forward to serve him.
The Wu family specially opened a side door for Zhang Yue, so that his car could go all the way to the place where Wu Chong was meeting guests. Otherwise, it would take a lot of time to walk slowly.
After Wu Chong paid homage to the Prime Minister, countless officials and villagers from the Wu family came to visit them. They all went to the foyer to wait and make arrangements. When the Prime Minister came, Wu Anshi, Wu Anchi and others had to greet him in the outer hall first.
The son-in-law Zhang Yue was the only one who could go straight into the inner hall without even making a notification.
This is how family members are treated.
After getting off the carriage, Zhang Yue arrived at the inner hall and met an official walking out.
This official was wearing a purple robe, with a resolute expression and a very dignified look. Zhang Yue couldn't help but be stunned when he saw him. He knew this person as Wang Tao.
Wang Tao was the emperor's teacher when he was in his residence, ranking first among several emperor teachers such as Han Wei.
When the emperor first ascended the throne, he went to court to impeach Han Qi. Ouyang Xiu was the prime minister, but he was not in charge.
Because of his bad relationship with Ouyang Xiu, he impeached Zhang Dun, and also blocked the appointment of Zhang Yue many times when officials wanted to appoint him.
Zhang Yue even still remembered the look in his eyes that warned and wanted you to look good that day. At that time, the other party was the censor Zhongcheng and the emperor's master, and he was just an official.
When they met again, this man was no longer as domineering as before, his temples were also gray, he hadn't been seen for six or seven years, and his age had long since passed.
Zhang Yue guessed that Wang Tao's return to the capital this time was also aimed at Lu Huiqing's resignation as prime minister, so he sought a position to participate in politics so that he could return to the central government.
But this matter requires the approval of the father-in-law.
Zhang Yue and Wang Tao looked at each other. Although Wang Tao was old, he still recognized Zhang Yue, and inevitably there was a little surprise on his face.
But times have changed, and Zhang Yue is no longer a small official, but has entered the ranks of prime ministers.
Zhang Yue walked straight towards the inner hall of the Wu Mansion, while Wang Tao silently retreated to the side of the road and stood in the mud of the Wu Mansion's flower garden, with two attendants supporting him on the left and right. Wang Tao.
The other party is already old, and his standing is a little unsteady.
Zhang Yue paused slightly as he walked by, glanced at Wang Tao, and walked by without saying a word.
The prime minister is courteous to all officials.
When Wang Tao saw Zhang Yue, he had to step out of the way to show respect. No matter whether you like it or not, you must do this. Otherwise, it will be overstepping and offending the majesty of the prime minister. This is a serious disrespect.
Zhang Yue, on the other hand, didn't have to return the favor to Wang Tao, he just walked over.
In fact, when Wang Tao was angry with him, Zhang Yue also thought about what would happen to me in the future?
For example, after Lu Huiqing paid homage to the prime minister, he pointed at Zeng Bu's entourage and cursed him, it was just Lu Huiqing.
To ignore someone is to retaliate directly.
Zhang Yue walked straight past, leaving Wang Tao standing there. He sighed after a moment: "It is difficult to enter the government this time."
…
After Zhang Yue entered the Wu Mansion, Wu Chong was changing his clothes. The servants of the Wu family hurriedly came forward to serve him, bringing soup to wash his face, tea to rinse his mouth, some holding kerchiefs, some holding whisks, and some fanning on the left and right.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
This person is impetuous, sees benefits and forgets his righteousness, and has no shame or shame. In the end, he certainly responded. "
Wu Chong said: "Of course, Wang Ledao said that Lu Jifu could be impeached by Shangshu. I think that's all."
Zhang Yue said: "Lu Jifu is about to leave. It doesn't matter whether he uses Wang Tao or not."
The two men, Weng and son-in-law, decided Wang Tao's way of going by talking to each other.
The maid offered food again.
Wu Chong moved his legs and said, "Wang Ledao also left the capital in such a mess back then. He is so similar to Lu Jifu today. I wonder if Lu Jifu will be able to defeat Wang Tao many years from now?"
"Previously, Su Zi listed Lu Jifu's brothers' corruption and usury among the people. Deng Wan also cited Lu Jifu's accepting money from wealthy people and misappropriating land."
"These can make Lu Jifu go out, but they can't guarantee whether he will resurface. If he returns to the court, it will be detrimental to you!"
Zhang Yue took a sip of tea and said, "What else can we do? We can't send people to intercept the road and kill Lu Jifu halfway! Do you really want to send him to eat the sword?"
Wu Chong smiled when he heard this.
Zhang Yue said: "Political disputes in this dynasty only end when they go abroad. When Wang Ledao was in power, he offended no fewer people than Lu Jifu does today. We should not break the system easily."
"The reason why I want to expel Lu Jifu this time is that he offended me for one reason. The most important thing is that he broke the system of ancestral dissent and conflict, regardless of my objections. That's all. As long as whoever breaks the system , then everyone can ask for it!"
Zhang Yue's meaning is obvious, there must be a bottom line in the struggle, and he will not do anything beyond the bottom line.
Wu Chong said nothing after hearing this.
After a while, Zhang Yue said again: "Actually, there is more evidence of Lu Jifu's crimes. I just let Su Ziyou get one-third of it this time. After a few months, when Lu Jifu becomes the governor of the county, I will impeach him again and let him He was demoted again... In a few months, he will be impeached again and demoted again..."
When Wu Chong heard this, his movements of stroking his beard stopped in mid-air.
…
At this moment, Wang Yu learned that the emperor had ordered Lu Huiqing to go out.
Sitting beside him was Deng Wan. He was full of energy after receiving Wang Yu's full instructions and having accomplished great achievements.
Deng Wan not only dismissed Lu Huiqing, but also followed Shangshu to impeach Zhangdun. The memorial said: "Zhangdun is still in the court, and he treats diseases, only one side of the body is cured, and the feces is removed, but half of the filth is still left. "
Deng Wan compared Zhang Dun to dung.
Deng Wan was relieved of two serious worries at once, and was very happy. However, Wang Yu didn't look happy at all: "Why are you so happy? Is there anything you can do to make a difference?"
Seeing Wang Yu's expression, Deng Wan quickly said, "Dalangjun, Zhang, and Lu are going out!"
Wang Yu said: "Going out? Who knew that Thief Lu would never make a comeback?"
Deng Wan said: "Do you mean to demote Dalangjun to Lingnan? But no minister in this dynasty has been demoted to Lingnan for decades? What's more, it's a prime minister like Lu Jifu."
Wang Yu said: "No, we should find a way. Can you think of a way more? If Thief Lu is not eliminated for a day, his temper will change in the future. If he makes a comeback, will the people who offended him have a good life?"
"Today he can Luo Zhi, the leader of Zhao Shiju and Li Shining, frame the prime minister in the name of treason. Once he returns to the court some other day, Luo Zhi will commit such a serious crime. I am afraid that by then, even if there are handsome ministers, Zhang Tang and his like will not be as good as him."
"To cut the weeds, we must remove the roots!"
Wang Yu wanted Deng Wan to kill them all, which was a violation of the rules they had always adhered to.
But Deng Wan thought that Lu Huiqing was also extremely scared, so he immediately said: "Don't worry, Mr. Da Lang, I will take care of it immediately!"
