Chapter 846

Chang'an in April hadn't recovered from the war, and there were still many families in mourning inside and outside the city.

On this day Wu Ze returned from the government office to the Wu Mansion, he still went to the mourning hall to kowtow to his grandfather first, and then he went to the courtyard, but he saw his third uncle Wu Ding was coming out accompanied by a man over fifty years old.

After seeing each other, Wu Ze accompanied Wu Ding to see off the guest. When the uncle and nephew walked back, they talked about today's guest.

This guest was called Sun Fengchen. A few years ago, when Wu Qian learned about Qingyuan Mansion, Sun Fengchen was the magistrate of Xiangshan County under his rule.

But one year, Qingyuan Mansion was hit by a flood, and the imperial court stipulated that private housing leases be exempted for half a year, but Sun Fengchen, the magistrate of Xiangshan County, did not implement it in order to protect the interests of the big house owners.

At this time, Wu Ding talked about these things and said with emotion: "I never thought that he could travel thousands of miles to express condolences for his father."

Wu Ze also sighed.

He was young and seeing this friendship for the first time.

It is rare for Wu Qian to distinguish between personal friendship and business affairs, and to be impartial and selfless; it is also rare for Sun Fengchen to understand this and not hold grudges.

"After today's discussion, the king talked with me about rehabilitating my grandfather. I am worried that there is no suitable candidate to go to Lin'an. Why don't we invite the magistrate Sun to do it?"

"Rehabilitation?" Wu Ding pondered.

"If you don't rehabilitate, grandfather will feel regretful?"

"For more than forty years of loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty, it is of course a pity to be wronged and relegated." Wu Ding said: "But at this juncture, will something extraneous happen?"

Wu Zedao: "Jiang just arrived in Chang'an today. In other words, the battle of Kuimen has already come to an end, and the result is that the general has already forced the vanguard before the battle. We spread the word that Jia Sidao intends to rebel. This is the time to expose Xunzhou The timing of the case. Continue to point out Jia Sidao's criminal evidence and seek justice for grandfather."

Wu Ding turned his head to look towards the mourning hall.

"Uncovering the Xunzhou case at this time is not an extravagance, but to settle the account and divide the family. We have to start from Jia Sidao's release of rumors to persecute his grandfather, and count to Liu Zongshen's poisoning."

Wu Dingdao: "That official may not be able to vindicate his father, who has always opposed his succession. It is also impossible for Jia Sidao to admit that he ordered Liu Zongshen to poison him."

"If they don't agree, there will always be courtiers who will." Wu Ze asked: "Can the third uncle write to the uncle and the second uncle?"

"Contacted, that's how Sun Zhixian learned of his father's death..."

Wu Qian's eldest son, Wu Pu, and his second son, Wu Lin, were both Jinshi in the fourth year of Xingchang, and they were on the same list as Wen Yunsun and Lu Xiufu.

When Wu Qian feigned death in Xunzhou, because he was a criminal official, he could not carry the coffin back to his hometown, so he could only be "buried" on the spot. At that time, Wu Pu and Wu Lin were still officials, and they rushed to Xunzhou to observe their filial piety after hearing the news.

They have official status and are implicated by Wu Qian. Although Ding You has always been under residential surveillance.

At that time, when Li Xia regained Guanzhong, he did not want to be known to the court to avoid conflicts with the court. It was not until recently that he was ready to stand on his own that he invited Wu Pu and Wu Lin to abandon their official positions and enter Shu.

It wasn't too late in the first place, it was almost as soon as he had the strength to contend with the imperial court that he made the matter public.

Unexpectedly, Wu Qian was dead, and Wu Pu and Wu Lin waited until the news turned out to be the news of their father's death...

Wu Ze said: "King Qin will soon stand on his own. The Song court did not dare to go to war, so it could only declare that King Qin is the King of Qin of the Great Song Dynasty, and promised to rehabilitate his grandfather, and let his uncle and uncle go to Shu."

Wu Ding was still a little worried. Now the third and fourth houses of the Wu family have been brought to Sichuan and Sichuan, but the eldest house, second house, in-laws Ping's family, Xi's family, and countless old disciples are all in the Song Dynasty.

This is also the reason why Wu Qian has not disclosed his death before.

But when Li Xia was preparing to stand on his own feet, he chose to make the matter public. If Song Ting broke his face, it would not only implicate Wu Pu and Wu Lin, but also harm many people.

"Putting father's rehabilitation together, if Song Ting insists on suppressing the rebellion, so what if he claims that the Wu family is a traitor?"

"We are sure." Wu Ze said: "Today we deduced Song Ting's reaction, and it was precisely because we were sure that the king asked me if I dared to take a gamble."

"Then... when will King Qin stand on his own?"

"Soon, one is to move the capital to Chang'an, the other is to wait for the news of Lin'an to come back, and the third is to find out the thoughts of some officials under the rule... just complete the preparations for these three things."

The two uncles and nephews had already arrived at the mourning hall after talking about this.

Wu Ze burned the incense and looked at Wu Qian's memorial tablet with complicated emotions.

Recently, when he was advising Li Xia, he sometimes felt that he was strategizing and everything was predictable. He said that Kuimen would win the first battle, and that Song Ting would not dare to tear his face.

Is it great?

After calming down, Wu Ze realized that it was not that he was strong, but that he followed the trend. As long as he proposed a strategy, everyone would work together to make it. Of course, it seemed that the person who proposed the strategy was extremely wise.

But if in Lin'an, what about the situation where everything is constrained?

When an emperor is too weak, so weak that even a little bit of ability by his courtiers may overwhelm the master, so he can't use any clever tricks.

The really powerful people predicted this situation more than ten years ago.

——"A minister has no talent beyond history, and a loyal king has no blessings from his majesty."

The powerlessness of the Song court to such an extent was not achieved overnight.

Even the advice of the far-sighted people ten years ago could not save the country.To this day, even if there is Zhuge in the Song court... But can the current officials compare with the empress of Shu?
A weak country and a weak lord are so helpless.

With this in mind, Wu Ze bowed deeply, turned around, and strode towards the study.

He raised his hand to stop his wife and children who were coming forward, so as not to be disturbed, he polished the ink alone and started to write.

After the words "Chen Chengxin Lang Wu Ze", he left several columns blank and wrote the words "Zou Yue".

After that, continue to write the text.

"Since Jingkang, the capital has been lost, and the country has been in peace; the old land of the Central Plains has been sealed by the enemy; the tombs of the ancestors have been exposed and cannot be visited; the territory has been separated, and the people have suffered. This is a great humiliation of China, and the ministers cannot bear to say it."

"Today, Jia Sidao is stealing the power of the country, focusing on the party, and confusing the king's heart. He deceives the sky and the people, blocking the way of righteousness; "

"The country is in trouble, there are barbarians who want to swallow the world outside, and the right to rape and kill the people inside, the world is in danger of being overthrown..."

~~
"The king of Pingling County, Li Xia, the pacifier of Sichuan and Shaanxi, Tianxi is brave, and takes recovery as his own responsibility. He has fought a hundred battles to An Song Ding... However, if the title is not clear, if the nine tins are not added, there is no way to town the country. Shuai Yu In addition, power and traitors block the hearing and hearing, and the ministers and others can only follow the old etiquette, please take the throne immediately, and use Guanzhong, Longxi, Hexi, Sichuan, and Dali as kingdoms, and set up their own officials."

"..."

Two days later, when Lu Xiufu saw this, he put down the "King of Qin Persuasion Form" in his hand, and said to Wu Ze, "Dui Fu knows what he is doing?"

"Of course I know." Wu Ze was holding a pen in his hand, and was passing it in front of Lu Xiufu, and asked, "Brother Junshi, don't you want to join hands?"

Lu Xiufu, Wu Pu, and Wu Lin were in the same year's middle school list, and they have been in contact with each other, so they also met Wu Ze.

When Li Xia became the king of Pingling County, he recommended Sun Xian as a transshipment envoy, and recommended Lu Xiufu to know Lizhou.Now two years have passed, Lu Xiufu was recruited to Chang'an last month, and he arrived today.

It was also the first time for Lu Xiufu to come to Chang'an.

When he saw Guanzhong at Dashanguan, he yearned for it, and one day he would regain the rivers and mountains.

Unexpectedly, when I first entered Chang'an, I first paid homage to Wu Qian, and then I saw such a letter.

"I'm still wondering why Zhan Fangxie called me here immediately. It turned out that it was for this matter."

Lu Xiufu looked at the word "King of Qin" on the paper, and moved his eyes again, and saw that there were many people's names on the far right.

"What's wrong?"

"I have a few questions." Lu Xiufu said, "You take the shadow of your father as Cheng Xinlang, eat the king, and are deeply favored by the country. Do you feel guilty?"

"This is not an anti-Song statement." Wu Ze laughed and said, "It's Jia Sidao who is playing tricks on the country..."

"This time it's not an anti-Song call, what about next time?"

"At least not this time."

"Tell me the truth, do you feel guilty?"

Wu Ze said: "No, I do things for the country, and I receive tributes from the people, so why should I feel guilty? On the contrary, the rich and powerful of the Manchu Dynasty eat the fat of the people and eat vegetarian meals in the place of corpses. They should feel guilty."

"You said 'power and traitors block the audience', so you can only persuade them." Lu Xiufu said: "But the fact is that you want to rebel, don't you?"

Wu Ze asked: "I made this excuse for the imperial court to use power traitors to block the audio-visual, and I reserved room for joint efforts to resist Mongolia. Otherwise, if I persuade the king to proclaim himself emperor, the imperial court will have to send troops to attack, and instead let the Mongolian fisherman win the battle." profit."

"Why do you have to rebel?"

"Let me put this matter in a nutshell. Brother Junshi, what do you think of the king, and what about Lin'an officials? Is it possible for you to let such a hero serve such... trash?"

"If there are heroes in the world, they will stand up with their swords and overthrow the world, how can the world be stable?"

"What's the point of subverting the world once every 300 years?" Wu Ze asked, "Looking at the troubled world today, isn't it enough to call it a world of great controversy?"

Lu Xiufu closed his eyes and sighed: "I understand, but someone must observe the festival, otherwise the world will think that 'the son of heaven has a strong army and a strong horse should do it', and there will be troubled times every year in the future...someone must observe the festival."

"Brother Junshi's reasoning is also clear to me." Wu Ze said, "But we don't need to talk about these reasons today. Because it's not the time for Brother Junshi to observe the festival. I said that this is not an anti-Song essay."

"What's the difference?"

"The difference is that we have left some leeway for the court. What if the court recognizes the name of King Qin and allows Brother Junshi to continue serving as an official in Sichuan and Shu? Even if we keep the rules, at least we have to wait for the court to publicly announce that King Qin has rebelled, right?"

Lu Xiufu shook his head helplessly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

If the imperial court really whitewashed the peace, what could he do?
Wu Ze withdrew the pen in his hand, and no longer forced Lu Xiufu to co-sign.

Not bad for a name.

Of course there will be objections, but this cannot be stopped...

Wu Ze slowly rolled up his joint memorandum with both hands, and said: "There are Mongolian captives in the north, we still hope that the court can recognize King Qin and rehabilitate grandfather. Brother Junshi doesn't have to think that it will damage integrity. If, I It means that if, one day, the imperial court wants brother Junshi to pray to Mongolia, so what? Would you feel humiliated?"

Lu Xiufu frowned, it was obviously difficult to answer this question.

"This is the helplessness of a weak ruler and a weak country. I felt sorry for my grandfather the day before yesterday, but today I feel sorry for Brother Junshi."

Wu Ze put the finished chorus into the book basket, thought for a while, and then said: "The king asked me to see you first, so that he would not be able to persuade you, but would lose room. It can be seen that he has the intention of defending you. He also asked me to tell you something...to strengthen the country so that the people are not humiliated is also a kind of integrity."
