After hearing Lu Xiufu's words, everyone was silent. Everyone knew that the elements of the relocation of the dynasty to Lin'an became more complicated. When the dynasty returned, the young emperor with military power started a massacre in the name of traitoring the king. Many officials of the previous dynasty were kicked out of the game, either becoming a ghost under the knife or becoming a prisoner. However, some officials and scholars were able to return to the court, but the authority was still in the dynasty group, and they could only engage in auxiliary work or serve as staff.

As a result, the pattern of the court changed. The officials in the court held power, but the number was at a disadvantage. At that time, many officials seemed to be sprinkled everywhere like pepper, and immediately became dull. Although the scholars in Jiangnan were all low-ranking officials, they had the advantage because they were crowded and flooded in various central and local departments. Naturally, they were not willing to be monopolized by the "outsiders" and hoped to enter the power center.

In this political context, because the officials of the previous dynasty were first poisoned by the Yuan Dynasty and then cleaned by the young emperor, it can be said that there is very little left, but it also has limitations on the selection of talents. The remaining children of famous officials and officials from the previous dynasty families became the focus of consideration. These families often make profits from the imperial examinations, and thus strengthen education for their children to enter the imperial examinations to ensure that the family lasts for a long time will be created.

The reason why they can call it aristocratic family is not that many people have become generals and ministers, but that they can continue to have new people to serve in the officialdom, forming a dense network of relationships in the officialdom. When they raise their arms and shout, everyone responds, which is enough to influence the situation. The Wu family has many children from several generations, and their disciples and old relatives are spread all over the south of the Yangtze River. They are now a rare master. Moreover, after the capture of Jiangnan by the Mongol Yuan, they all defended the countryside and no one served in the Yuan Dynasty. Their style and integrity are enough to be a role model for scholars, and then they are very influential in Jiangnan, especially in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions.

At that time, the ministers strongly recommended Wu Xi as their queen, and wanted to use the power of the Wu family to help the court appease the scholars in Jiangnan and stabilize the situation. However, they did not expect that Zhao Bing was very disgusted with this. Their intention was to suppress local forces and not to have a political situation that would lead to the dominance of one family, so as to achieve mutual restraint, checks and balances between all parties, and form a new balance, which would facilitate the unique imperial power.

However, the forces of the government and the opposition, especially the scholar group, did not want a powerful dictator to change the political pattern of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and the scholars and officials in the world. Therefore, whoever initiated the recent dynasty struggles revolved around this goal. However, they found that the little emperor had the support of military personnel and firmly controlled the military power. With the loyal support of the ministers in the palace, it was almost impossible to change this situation. Then, they wanted to further win over the scholars in Jiangnan to strengthen their strength and divide and disintegrate the power of the little emperor through the matter of establishing the queen and choosing a concubine.

In this battle without gunpowder, the young emperor used his own means to fill Chen Shu and Li Sanniang into his harem. On the surface, he did not forget his old promise, but in fact he further consolidated his relationship with the ministers of the Qiandi. Everyone knows that the Chen brothers are the Minister of Revenue who is in charge of the world's money and grain, and the Yangtze River Defence Envoy who holds heavy troops. Anyone with discerning eyes can see that the future of the two brothers is more than this, and they are the candidates at the time of the transition from the old to the new.

Li Sanniang seems to be just the daughter of a small leader of the Fan tribe, but her family has a certain influence not only in Qiongzhou, but also among the She people in Guangdong and Guangxi. Not to mention their power in the court, they can also be called a powerful force. With its support, it is equivalent to getting the support of hundreds of thousands of She people, which can stabilize the rear and have another way of retreat.

So in this contest, Wu Xi was able to establish a descendant. It seemed that the literati and literati group had the upper hand. In fact, everyone understood that this made the little emperor alert. The distrust between the two sides further deepened, and instead pushed him to the side of the warriors, which was also the reason why they were worried about the little emperor's secret meeting with the generals. But now if the little emperor seized the responsibility of wasting the country during the Empress's national crisis and had to deal with it strictly, what would it be hard for the ministers to say?

"The Wu family has been an official for five generations, and has become prime ministers for three generations, and has served the country with loyalty for generations. How could such unworthy descendants have emerged!" Wen Tianxiang said angrily when he heard this, the Marquis of Xianping who was wearing heavy shackles.

"This Xianping Hou is also born in a family of loyal and martyrs. It is really heartbreaking to do such a thing today. It is also a pity that Yu Min is too arrogant to him..." Lu Xiufu said.

Everyone knew what happened. Wu Qian had three sons, the eldest son Wu Pu was the most promising. In the fourth year of Chunyou, he was appointed as the Jinshi of Jiachen. He was first appointed as the proofreader. He was renamed the General System of Jiaxing Prefecture and was renamed the governor of the Yangtze River. He believed that rewards would be punished and the soldiers would use their lives. The Yuan people invaded Lianghuai and sent the general Lu Wende to defeat him in Sizhou. When he was aware of Zhenjiang, he was able to prepare troops and stop the invaders. He was promoted to the Minister of Personnel. Later, he returned home in disagreement with Ding Daquan. His eldest son Baoqian, whose courtesy name was Shuxun, was appointed as the Chengwu Lang, and his second son Baoli was appointed as the Minister of Transportation Envoy.

Wu Qian once adopted Wu Shi, a son of the clan. He was moved by the crisis of the country, abandoned his literature and followed the military, served as the captain of Jinyi, and was the chief general of the navy, and died in battle with the Yuan army. Wu Pu took his youngest son Wu Shuo into the mansion and regarded him as his own off. However, he was moved by his father's loss when he was young, and he was neglected to discipline and became a bad habit. Because Wu Shuo inherited his father's title, he caught up with his sister as the queen this time, so he became the title of county marquis and moved to the capital with his family. However, he did not know how to restrain himself, and made friends with some scoundrels in the capital. He felt that with the support of the queen's sister, he regarded himself as his uncle and became even more arrogant and domineering.

"Left Prime Minister, this matter needs to be resolved as soon as possible. No matter what, he is a child of the Wu family. If he is really beheaded in the street, His Majesty will completely rebel against the Wu family, and the queen will inevitably be deposed. How can the Wu family be defeated in a row? He will definitely mobilize various relationships to confront the court. But His Majesty is not someone who is willing to compromise easily, and will suppress them." Wen Tianxiang was also a little anxious. The Wu family must have suffered losses in the internal strife, and the imperial court suffered losses.

"The most important thing at the moment is to stop Your Majesty from killing the Marquis of Xianping, so that you can have room for maneuver!" Lu Xiufu glanced at everyone and said.

"Left Prime Minister, things are not that simple." Xu Zongren pondered for a moment, "You have thought too simply that. Everyone knows that Your Majesty is dissatisfied with this marriage. The reason is that he is unwilling to be controlled by others. He has long regarded the Wu family as a threat. At present, the Marquis of Xianping not only speaks rudely, but also has many coercive words. How can Your Majesty be good with His Majesty's temperament? His Majesty has always acted in a plan before he acts, but he is best at seizing the opportunity. Therefore, what the following officials think is that His Majesty is not just taking the opportunity to kill the Marquis of Xianping and deposed the queen."

"Shangshu Xu means that Your Majesty's goal is the entire Wu family, and he will use this as an opportunity to uproot the Wu family!" Liu Fu said in surprise.

"It is very likely that you will not forget the fact that hundreds of heads fell from the Pu family in Quanzhou that day!" Lu Xiufu nodded. The ruthless emperor's behavior back then still made him feel scared. It was really a way to eliminate the roots and keep the chickens and dogs.

"The Wu family was an official in the fifth generation, and most of the children in the clan became officials. Even if they lived in seclusion in the village, there were many famous scholars. There were more than a thousand disciples, and they were the largest family of officials in our dynasty. I am afraid that this time, many people would be involved and many heads fell to the ground." Liu Fu shook his head and sighed.

"It seems that we were indeed wrong at the beginning. We just thought about using the Wu family to stabilize Jiangnan, but we didn't expect that there would be the disaster today!" Lu Xiufu said with some regret.

"Hmph, if you knew it, why should you do it today? When Your Majesty restored Jiangnan, he suppressed the ministers who were traitors and treasons. The intention was to weaken the local forces in Jiangnan, so as to reduce the resistance to governing and lay the foundation for the return of the dynasty. But you misinterpreted Your Majesty's intention and used the opportunity of the draft to rebuild the old dynasty's forces, causing them to rekindle, and causing chaos in the court to continue." Ying Jieyan snorted coldly at this time.

"This... this, we were also kind-hearted at the beginning!" Lu Xiufu was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but admire Jiang's old man's splendor. Ying Jieyan saw through the little emperor's intention at one glance. Thinking about it, the Wu family was already a prominent family in Jiangnan. Whether it had any or not, it would pose a threat to the court and should be the target of suppression. Now that the daughter of the Wu family entered the palace, the family became more stable and powerful, forming a group of foreign relatives who could control the government's affairs, threatening the existence of imperial power.

"Good intention, malice is just a line of separation, and it is hard to stop the water at the moment." Ying Jieyan looked at everyone and frowned, "Wu Shuo's crazy words today may be just his personal thoughts, but who dares to say that others do not have this intention? Once they are full of wings, will they do something to deceive the emperor and the emperor?"

"It should be known, what should we do now?" Wen Tianxiang felt cold in his heart when he heard this. The emperor's thoughts were never something they could guess. If it was a bad thing at the moment, not only would he not be able to save the Wu family, but he also had to get in. In desperation, he could only ask Ying Jieyan for advice.

"Let it go!" Ying Jieyan pondered for a moment and said lightly.

"You should know, Your Majesty is angry, so please persuade me not to do impulsive things!" Wen Tianxiang was stunned when he heard this, and said with a smacking lips.

"How do you persuade me? Should we go to ask Your Majesty for the Queen Xianping together? I am worried that Your Majesty will remove my old bones." Ying Jieyan said with a smile.

"Wen Xiang, what the governor should say is reasonable. If we plead for mercy, your Majesty will even suspect that we have close ties with the Wu family, and the result will only backfire and make the court more chaotic." Lu Xiufu stopped Wen Tianxiang, who was still talking again. He already understood at this moment that the little emperor was not leading the army to target the queen, but to guard against them. Once the conflict between the two sides intensified, your Majesty would use force to completely clean up the court and then implement the rule of the country by warriors. In this way, sacrificing a Wu family is better than joining the entire literati group. This is not because he is ruthless, but because the situation is forced, and it is also a political need.

"It's better for Lu Xiang to see far. Whether the Wu family can survive depends on their luck!" Wen Tianxiang looked at the Xianping Hou Yan who was showing the public under the palace city. This is really a piece of rat shit. If it weren't for his nonsense, it wouldn't have left the matter with no room for maneuver. It also put the Wu family in a dangerous place. Even if the Wu family can escape the death disaster, it will be difficult to turn over and regain its glory today.

"Your Majesty is coming back to admire the lanterns. Please follow me to the palace gate to welcome you!" Lu Xiufu saw that the little emperor's business had changed and bowed to everyone and said.

"As for the orders of the left prime minister!" The ministers immediately returned the gift, and then re-arranged the shift to the palace gate to wait for the journey.

"With my father, if this matter is inappropriate, it will be a great disaster. If you tell the Queen Mother, only the Queen Mother can stop Your Majesty now." Liu Fu deliberately distanced himself from the front and back, and told Ying Jieyan while walking.

"No, it is precisely because the Empress Dowager is the only one who can check and balance Your Majesty, so you cannot act without action. You must not use it when the world is alive. If you look for the Empress Dowager at this time, it will only cause them to lose peace between mother and son, and become wary of each other, and no one can restrain Your Majesty in the future." Ying Jieyan waved his hand and said.

"The words to my father are reasonable, but I still feel a little reluctant to see the Wu family destroyed!" Liu Fu nodded and said.

"Shengbo, in fact, there may not be no room for maneuver. It just depends on whether the Wu family is sensible. If they can't seize this opportunity, it will be gone. It's no pity." Ying Jieyan replied lightly.

"Why did you become so cruel with your father?" Liu Fu said in surprise.

"Shengbo, Your Majesty has grown up gradually. We are going to leave the court. It is impossible to be with Your Majesty at all times, but I have always been a little worried." Ying Jieyan did not answer, but said a little sadly.

"Your Majesty has taken power, and there are many trusted ministers on the left and right. Jiangnan has basically stabilized. What else do you have to worry about with your father?" Liu Fu asked in confusion.

"I was entrusted by the Empress Dowager to assist and teach Your Majesty for ten years to teach you how to govern the country and be a king. Your Majesty is also very successful and is a benevolent and righteous ruler. However, it is because Your Majesty is too benevolent and righteous, which makes him act gracefully. This is also a taboo for the king." Ying Jieyan said, "If Your Majesty had made a quick decision to execute Chen Yizhong, he could establish his authority in Jiangnan. Who would dare to challenge Your Majesty again and again? However, Your Majesty was afraid of the family rules of his ancestors, and took into account the advice of the ministers, and did not take action for a long time, which left the troubles of the future today."

"Although Hefather's words are extreme, they are quite good words for the king. How can he allow others to snore on the side of the bed? If the Wu family becomes bigger, it will form a situation where the foreign relatives interfere in politics. Once the tail is too big, your Majesty will be restrained everywhere and have to rely on others' breath to ruin the good situation today." Liu Fu nodded and said, "Hefather thinks that Your Majesty will be cruel to destroy the Wu family this time?"
