Everyone nodded.
For so many years in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the situation has basically been divided between civil and military affairs. Now they have to join forces with the military. This is something they have never thought about.
Lin Shaowen also saw the hesitation of these people and asked: "What, is there any problem?"
"Sir, let's not talk about what those in the military will say. If we join forces with them, isn't this putting His Majesty on the fire? What will happen if Your Majesty becomes angry and angry?"
Xia Hongye cupped his hands and said, with a hint of hesitation in his words.
Lin Shaowen smiled and said: "So I need you to put on a show. I have sent someone to send a message to Song Guogong Li Ji who is confronting the Wei army in the north. Xingyong Hou Liu Guangli served under him before. Although there is no relationship between the two, They are friends of life and death, but they are irreversible friends.
There is also Chengguo Gong Xu Jianyuan who is now in Kyoto. Back then, Xingyonghou died on the battlefield, and countless people were able to escape. Chengguo Gong Xu Jianyuan also owed Xingyonghou's mansion a great favor.
With these two people coming forward, and with us joining forces, we don't have to worry about protecting the Xingyong Hou Mansion. "
Everyone began to meditate. They were thinking about the feasibility of this matter. Someone asked: "Sir, even if we do it, we will save these people in Xingyonghou Mansion. What benefit will it have to us?"
After all, they are still members of the military faction. Besides, what use can a group of old and weak women do? "
"madness."
Lin Shaowen glared hard at the official who spoke, and said loudly: "Are those women we saved? No, it's the title of Xingyong Houfu, which is the ironclad proof of Zhao Yueming's misdeeds, and the face of our family. .”
Having said this, he patted his cheek with his hand and continued: "You think I don't know what you are talking about, but don't forget that although we are a civilian faction and we are clearly separated from the military generals, it is not because It is Your Majesty who does this. It is Your Majesty.
After he came to the throne, he deliberately divided the relationship between our two factions and opposed each other. He acted as a mediator and made himself invincible.
That's it, unless we really want to rebel, His Majesty is Your Majesty, and no one can stop him. It is a way of survival for us to restrain each other.
But it doesn’t work now. His Majesty’s ambitions are getting bigger and bigger. His purpose has become obvious. Now the target is directed at our family, so we can’t continue to be led by your Majesty. We must make him internally unstable. We Only by gradually encroaching into the military and holding military power can we not be afraid of His Majesty's threats. "
Xia Hongye said solemnly: "So, our purpose is to provoke discord between His Majesty and the military so that they are no longer monolithic. This will help us wait for opportunities."
Seeing that there were still people who could understand him, Lin Shaowen nodded with satisfaction.
"But there is another question. Since there will be so many problems when the military comes forward, how can we ensure that these two princes are willing to speak out for the Xingyong Marquis Mansion as we wish."
Lin Shaowen said: "It doesn't really matter whether they are willing to speak out or not. As long as our noise is loud enough, it is actually enough."
At this time, an official wearing a brocade robe came out of the hall, cupped his hands and said: "I understand, your Excellency, as long as we spread the news about the Xingyong Hou Mansion among the army.
This matter was originally caused by the people of the Liu family. In fact, it had nothing to do with the people of the Xingyong Hou Mansion. It was more implicated, although the assassination of His Majesty generally required the execution of nine clans.
But according to the current situation, we just want to protect some relatively innocent women in the Xingyong Marquis Mansion. As long as the two princes speak out, we will naturally get what we want.
If they pretend they haven't heard and don't want to offend His Majesty, that's okay, because doing so will also make them lose trust in the hearts of the military officers, thereby damaging their internal cohesion, and we can finally get what we want. willing. "
It was the first time that Zhu Hongyuan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, showed his unique insights on this occasion, and what he said and described made others feel like they were enlightened, and they immediately praised him.
"Your Excellency, Your Majesty has always relied on military power. Although we have been arranging corresponding measures in recent years, the progress has not been satisfactory. In the past few years, the northern battlefield has been at war with Wei all the year round, and we have the opportunity to take control. Into it."
"That's right, we also have a lot of power in the north now. With them pushing the flames, we don't have to worry about whether this will happen."
Lin Shaowen ignored the compliments from these people at this time and looked curiously at the minister of official affairs who was usually silent in front of him.
It stands to reason that the Minister of Civil Affairs is also an important minister in the court, but this man is different from others. He has always been prudent and protective of himself. Other matters have nothing to do with him. He just cares about it.
"What do you think?"
Facing Zhu Hongyuan, Lin Shaowen asked curiously.
The eyes of the people around him also fell on him, expecting him to have unique insights.
Being watched by so many people, Zhu Hongyuan seemed extraordinarily calm at this moment. He bowed his hands to his colleagues around him, and then said seriously: "In fact, in the final analysis, whether it is a success or a failure, it will not have any impact on the current overall situation. What impact does it have, but...
This is a question of whether to advance or to retreat. It is not about how we choose, but that we have no choice. "
After saying this, he glanced at the others and continued: "Behind us are the collective interests of the aristocratic families. For hundreds of years, whether we want to admit it or not, we have occupied too many resources in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now, no matter what Whether it’s the war in the north or the peasant uprisings all over the world, in the final analysis, a large part of the responsibility lies with us.”
Then he looked up in the direction of the palace and said leisurely: "Now, if your Majesty wants to bring peace to the world, he must take action against us." '
Everyone was speechless for a moment, but there was nothing to say.
No matter what the truth is, it is absolutely impossible for them to hand over the wealth they have managed to accumulate.
The next day, Zhao Yueming, who came back from the palace, immediately called Zhang Yuhang over.
"Sir, what do you want from me?"
Seeing Zhao Yueming's bad expression, Zhang Yuhang asked directly.
"There may be some changes in the Xingyong Hou Mansion, and I'm afraid it won't be as you wish."
Zhang Yuhang's expression changed, "What happened?"
Zhao Yueming placed the memorial in his sleeve directly on the table and said, "See it for yourself."
Zhang Yuhang took the memorial on the table and read it carefully.
After a moment, a sneer appeared on his face: "It's really a great honor for two princes to plead for mercy."
"Your Majesty has nothing to do about this matter. Moreover, there are aristocratic families involved in it, and civil and military forces have joined forces. Your Majesty..."
The words were not finished, but it was obvious that in this case, His Majesty once chose to compromise.
After all, what he relies on most is the support of the military officers and soldiers. Your Majesty may not care about the attitude of the family, but he cannot care about the demands of the military officers and soldiers.
Conspiracy is treason, but they just want to keep the old, weak, women and children in Xingyonghou's mansion and leave a trace of blood for Xingyonghou.
Moreover, the most important thing is that His Majesty knows in his heart that everyone in Xingyonghou Mansion is actually wronged.
They were all designed by Zhang Yuhang.
This was originally an unjust case!
