Fenghou

Chapter 103 Counterattack
After Lu Yihao tried to persuade her again, her granddaughter Lu Xiu left, and Lu Yihao's mood suddenly became heavy.

Xu Yun said in a deep voice: "Teacher, I'm afraid Xiuniang's worry has some truths!"

Of course Lu Yihao knew that what his granddaughter said was right, the sky was falling, the tall man stood on top of him, and the court committed evil, it must be the prime minister's responsibility. He had a little bit of luck in the first place, but now his granddaughter tore away the last bit of cover.

He pondered for a long time, then sighed and said, "Forget it, let me express my attitude publicly!"

"What is the teacher going to do?"

"Isn't Qin Hui co-signing? I also openly co-signing, and I firmly oppose handing over Chen Qing to Jin Guo to make things worse. At least I, Lu Yihao, have a firm and clear attitude."

"Yes! Making things bigger is a good strategy."

Lu Yihao smiled wryly in his heart, if the matter becomes a big deal, will the officials spare him?
Xu Yun said cautiously again: "Could the teacher take out the hidden power?"

The hidden power Xu Yun mentioned refers to Taixue students. Lu Yihao's several students are all PhDs in Taixue, and their prestige is very high, which makes Lui Yihao indirectly control Taixue. When necessary, Taixue will become Lu Yihao's political bargaining chip.

Lu Yihao was still a little hesitant on the question of whether to use Tai students.

In fact, Lu Yihao's rescue of Chen Qing was not positive. He basically did not use his political power, but persuaded Zhao Gou to take the lead, or opposed it in the Zhizheng Hall. To a large extent, he did not want to offend the official Zhao Gou. Later, he wanted to protect his position as prime minister.

But the situation is stronger than others. With Qin Hui's active attack, Lu Yihao finally realized that even if he insists on humiliating, he may not be able to keep the position of prime minister in the end. If Qin Hui succeeds, the officials will definitely reward Qin Hui, and Qin Hui will replace him. It's set in stone.

On the contrary, if the transaction of Qin Hui fails this time, and the officials blame Qin Hui for his incompetence, Qin Hui will lose his way up.

In the final analysis, this Chen Qing incident will evolve into a battle for the prime minister and a battle for defense.

Thinking of this, Lu Yihao finally made up his mind, he nodded, "We will do our best to fight back!"

Half an hour later, Shangshu Zuocheng Liu Yi, Minister of Rites Guan Gan, Taichang Temple Shaoqing Li Jing, Taixue Doctor Yu Xiaoliang and Xu Yun discussed countermeasures in the prime minister's mansion.

The purpose of their struggle has changed from opposing the trading of anti-gold generals to attacking Qin Hui's superiority. This is a major matter related to their vital interests.

Of course, the banner they played is still to uphold righteousness and oppose the exchange of anti-golden generals.

That night, everyone split up and went to the mansions of the ministers of the DPRK and China, and they also began to sign against the exchange.

At the same time, more than a dozen student leaders of Taiyuan students discussed overnight, deployed protest countermeasures, and prepared to launch a large-scale protest demonstration the next day.

The city of Lin'an was turbulent, and everyone's attention was drawn to Chen Qing's fate.

It was very late for Qin Hui to return to the mansion. He was exhausted from running for the joint signature these two days. He is not as full-fledged as Lu Yihao, with many party members. After Fan Zongyin turned his face, Qin Hui became even more alone in the court.

But fortunately, the officials support him, and his views are in line with the interests of many ministers, so even though he is a little tired, he has gained a lot.

He walked into the back hall, and his wife, Wang Shi, greeted him, followed by his nephew, Wang Bo. Qin Hui's face sank, and he was very displeased. Although he was a nephew who could be trusted, Wang Bo did something a few days ago, which really made him angry. Qin Hui was annoyed.

Wang Bo actually contacted Wan Yanchang without authorization, so he was forced to meet Wan Yanchang.

You must know that Qin Hui has been trying his best to get rid of the label of spy of the Kingdom of Jin, especially after he became the deputy prime minister, he paid more and more attention to his reputation. He also hated such a humble status as a spy of the Kingdom of Jin, and he wanted to be upright with Wanyan. Chang sat together to negotiate, even if he leaned slightly towards Jin Guo, it was fine, but he could not meet as master and servant, and let him suffer another great humiliation.

However, this Wang Bo is ignorant and violated Qin Hui's taboo, so how could Qin Hui not be annoyed?

Mrs. Wang is good at observing words and expressions. Seeing the annoyance in her husband's eyes, he knew that he was angry with his nephew, so he persuaded: "Husband, I have already taught Bo'er a lesson. He already knows his mistakes. Teach him more and let him continue to grow. Only then can I become my husband’s right-hand man.”

In front of his wife, Qin Hui is more or less soft-hearted. Although he knows that a dude like Wang Bo can't become a great weapon, and he can't use such a person as his right-hand man, but after all, he is the wife's party, the eldest grandson of the Wang family, and he has an obligation. support.

"Let him come to see me in the study!" Qin Hui left in a hurry without saying a word.

Qin Hui changed clothes and sat down in the study. After a while, Wang Bo came in with a smile on his face, "My nephew has important news, so I came to tell my uncle overnight!"

"What news?" Qin Hui asked without looking up after taking a sip of tea.

"Lu Yihao is also signing a joint statement, opposing the handing over of Chen Qing to the Jurchens!"

'Bang! 'Qin Hui's teacup fell to the ground, and Gu Lulu rolled a foot away.

"Is what you said true?"

"It's absolutely true. My nephew's uncle has signed the statement."

Qin Hui took a breath. The reason why he lost his composure was that he knew too well what the joint signature meant. That was Lu Yihao's public statement against exchanging Chen Qing for the Queen Mother. Not on him, on the contrary, all kinds of responsibilities have to be borne by himself. How did this old fox wake up?

"Oops! My sky is blue after the rain!"

Qin Hui hastily stepped forward to pick up the teacup, saw a small cut on the edge, and felt extremely heartbroken, this is the Ru kiln used by the late emperor, after a rainy day!It was the gift Wan Yanchang gave him this time, the only one in Lin'an, it was extremely precious.

He picked up the porcelain shard the size of a grain of rice to see if he could find a skilled craftsman to repair it, so that he could no longer drink tea from it.

Wang Bo next to him saw the eyes, and he whispered: "I also have a set of official porcelain tea sets from Ru Kiln at home, I will give it to my uncle as a filial piety!"

Wang Bo's well-behaved made Qin Hui's dissatisfaction with him disappear by [-]%, he nodded, "It's rare that you are filial, uncle thank you first, and go back and tell Wang Huan that I am going to let him go to Kuaiji as the county magistrate and take the title of doctor of the Ministry of Industry , let him do a good job."

"Thank you uncle for your concern. Does your nephew have a chance?" Wang Bo asked with a smile on his face.

"There is an opportunity in the imperial palace. I will serve as the head of the right class in front of the hall. After two years of work, I will be sent to other places to train for the regiment. Uncle gave you the opportunity. You have to seize it yourself."

Wang Bo is overjoyed, at the level of Banzhi, it is generally in the twenties, this is the benefit of having someone behind you, you don't have to work hard to earn merits and slowly climb up, you can go up in one step.

"My nephew has another suggestion. In fact, Chen Qing can be killed directly. It is said that he committed suicide because he was overwhelmed, and then embezzled and gave the body to Jin Guo. This matter will have both."

Qin Hui snorted dissatisfiedly, "You only come up with such a bad idea. I can't even handle the things that the officials have asked me to do well. How can the officials trust me in the future?"

Wang Bo shrank his neck in fright, "My nephew doesn't understand!"

Qin Hui glanced at him, and said coldly: "If you don't understand, just listen carefully. This is a game in the officialdom. Chen Qing was assassinated. Jin Guo lost, and I lost too, but Lu Yihao won. Do you understand?"

"It turns out that Jin Guo didn't want Chen Qing's head!"

"Chen Qing's head is of course also needed, and the confidence to defeat the Western Army is also needed. Both the bear's paw and the fish are needed."

Qin Hui became a little impatient, and waved his hand, Wang Bo hurriedly backed away, Qin Hui picked up his teacup, heartbroken to the point of tears.

In the early morning of the next day, Tai students started a huge demonstration. Thousands of people held huge banners, 'Anti-golden generals are not to be traded! ';'Swear to the death to defend the honor of Song Dynasty! ';'Execute the traitor Qin Hui! '.

Thousands of Tai students chanted slogans all the way and paraded all over the city. Soon, thousands of students from prefecture schools also joined, and more and more citizens were infected with enthusiasm and joined the team.

The story of Chen Qing defeating the No. [-] Jurchen warrior with seven arrows in Fengle Tower has already spread throughout Lin'an, and he was regarded as a hero of the Song Dynasty by the simple people of Lin'an. The huge parade has changed from a few thousand people to tens of thousands, and from tens of thousands to a hundred thousand. The entire Yuhang Street is full of endless protesters.
"Release the anti-gold generals!", "Kill the traitors!" The shouts shook the heavens and the earth.

There are several men standing beside the third bridge. The leader is a tall young man with a very heroic appearance. He looked at the grand parade of the Tai students with his hands behind his back, and smiled slightly at several of his men: "I guess the most Tomorrow later, General Chen will be coming out."

"Does the master go directly to him?" one of his subordinates asked.

The young man shook his head, "I don't think the Jinren will let it go, they will probably attack on the road, let's follow in the dark!"

The massive parade finally came to Da Nei. They stopped in front of the Donghua Gate of Da Nei. Tens of thousands of people and Tai students sat on the ground and began a sit-in hunger strike.

The magnificent demonstrations and protests in the city shocked the entire ruling and opposition parties. All the officials felt uneasy, fearing that they would become one of the traitors. More people signed their names, and the demonstrations took place together, and the limelight of public opinion immediately turned around. Hundreds of officials expressed their opinions one after another.

The number of joint signatures opposing the transaction also increased from more than [-] to more than [-], and many officials signed on both sides.

More than [-] people are only working officials, and there are still a large number of idle officials in Lin'an. The officials rushed to various workshops to ask the idle officials to sign their objections.

In front of Donghua Gate, on a piece of silk cloth measuring three feet long and one foot wide, the number of signatures opposed to the exchange of anti-golden generals has reached tens of thousands. Thousands of imperial students even cut their fingers and signed with blood.

At this time, Zhao Gou, an official far away in the palace, also felt tremendous political pressure.
