Teacher is too tough

After taking a seat in the room, Lu Qiuyu said: "Grandfather and the others are discussing the matter of Wen Qingshan in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs?"

Mo Rengan didn't guard against Li Qingshi, an outsider, and said: "Exactly, when Wen Qingshan falls, a large number of officials will be involved. When a large number of official positions are vacated, the people of Prince Yi and Prince Jin will scramble to install their own people. Teacher, they are Worrying about it."

Lu Qiuyu said: "If Prince Yi and Prince Jin are all appointed to these official positions, I'm afraid the court will become even more chaotic."

Zhou Zongru said: "At the end of the day, it's because Bai Tonggu, Chen Xiuqing, and Shen Guangwu, the three old immortals, just rely on their lives to survive. They are obviously old enough to be unable to withstand gusts of wind, but they have lived on their own for so many years. If there were no such three The old things are still there, the imperial court doesn’t know how clear it is.”

Li Qingshi didn't know much about the court, so he was silent at this moment, listening to them quietly, just taking this opportunity to learn more.

The current Emperor Wanshun has nine sons in total. Originally, the eldest prince was appointed as the crown prince. It stands to reason that the crown prince has been established, so there are not so many messy things, but the reality is far from it.

The candidate for the crown prince has been decided, but the other eight princes have never stopped, and they are doing everything possible to win people's hearts and cultivate power, with the goal of removing the crown prince.

I don't know if His Majesty the Emperor didn't notice it, or he wanted to use this to put pressure on the prince and urge him to grow up quickly. In short, he turned a blind eye to the behavior of these sons.

Later, the eight princes finally got what they wanted, and seized the handle of the eldest brother of the prince, which aroused the emperor's anger, deposed him and imprisoned him in the East Palace, and His Royal Highness the prince fell into the dust completely.

Since then, His Majesty the Emperor seems to have forgotten the matter of establishing a reserve, and never thought about it again.

But the eight princes did not dare to slack off. They were divided into four camps and fought for many years, even to the point of secretly poisoning each other's heirs, because whether there is a successor is also an important consideration for the canonization of the crown prince.

After fighting and fighting, the two parties were defeated, and now only the second prince, Prince Yi, and the fourth prince, Prince Chun, are left to fight.

Wen Qingshan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, was originally a member of the sixth prince. After the master was kicked out, he, an important court official, became the target of the remaining two forces. Wen Shangshu did not express his position immediately, but chose to sell for a price.

As a result, something happened before I got the price I wanted.

What I have to mention is that during the period when the princes were fighting, a group of pure officials headed by the chief assistant Lu Ping existed all the time. The downfall of the third prince and the sixth prince was closely related to them, and they contributed a lot to it.

However, they are indiscriminate attacks, and their goal is to eliminate party disputes. Right now, there are only two forces left, Prince Yi and Prince Jin, so their spearheads are naturally aimed at these two parties.

The energy of these pure ministers cannot be ignored. They have selflessness in their hearts, and they do things without regard for themselves or fear.

From the point of view of strength, neither Prince Yi nor Prince Chun are the opponents of this group of pure ministers. It is a pity that they are about to completely eliminate the party struggle and return the common people to a bright future. In the end, Taifu Bai Tonggu suddenly appeared.

After Bai Tonggu's lobbying, Prince Yi and Prince Jin even temporarily formed an alliance. Judging from the posture, it was obvious that they wanted to join forces to wipe out Lu Shoufu and others first, and then fight the battle.

The Taifu had no real power at all, it was just a false position, but before the crown prince was abolished, Bai Tonggu repeatedly spoke to His Majesty, saying that the crown prince's talent was useless, and that he would not be able to support Daren's country and society in the future.

Later, the prince really did something that both humans and gods were angry with, and he cut off his future.

I don't know if it was because of this incident that the Taifu began to gain His Majesty's favor, and this favor became more and more day by day. His Majesty also began to ask his opinion on many important government affairs related to the national economy and people's livelihood.

In this way, Bai Tonggu has jumped from a person with no real power to a pivotal figure who can affect the trend of the court.

In the eyes of Chief Assistant Lu Ping, other people are nothing to worry about, only Bai Tonggu, Chen Xiuqing, and Shen Guangwu are treacherous and cunning, and they are very difficult to deal with. If these three people can be cut off, the elimination of party struggles will surely be destroyed.

In the court, the two-party alliance is headed by Bai Tonggu, Chen Xiuqing is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and is the most powerful person under the second prince, and Shen Guangwu is the Minister of the Household Department, the first general under the fourth prince.

The three of them are all over seventy years old, each of them is old-fashioned, it is difficult to walk, and they have already passed the age of official service, but they linger on.

If they don't leave, they won't leave. With their frail bodies, they can see that they won't live for two years as early as ten years ago.

Unexpectedly, they dragged their lingering sick bodies and fought in the court for ten years!
It has to be said that it is also a miracle.

……

Li Qingshi listened for a long time, and quickly grasped the key point. The reason why Zhou Shilang and his group were struggling was because of the support of Bai Tonggu, Chen Xiuqing, and Shen Guangwu. Without these three people, the court would have been cleared.

He asked, "Are these three people very weak?"

Zhou Zongru said: "It's not just weak. All of them are in their eighties. Old scum is not enough to describe them. Moreover, they are full of diseases. When walking, you are afraid that they will not be able to get up again if they fall. I know I can do it this way.”

Li Qingshi frowned slightly, for some reason, he suddenly remembered the semi-finished Martial Immortal Pill developed by Lu Qi in Yulong County City.

Martial arts have this kind of medicine that harms others and benefits oneself, but what about ordinary people?
In the case of human trafficking in Chunshen City, three important court officials who are old and not dead, is there any connection between them?
Li Qingshi didn't know, but it was still a way of thinking. He was going to investigate these three people carefully.

……

in the library.

After discussing the business, the Chief Assistant Lu Ping pinched his brows, and suddenly said: "He's chief assistant's family died tragically. I wonder if it was Prince Yi's work, or Prince Jin's, or both parties involved?"

Lu Wenyuan said: "The other party acts secretly, and his hands are clean, so far no useful clues have been found."

Lu Pingdao: "Go to Laojun Mountain and ask if there is anything wrong with Qingliu's child?"

Lu Wenyuan said: "I've already asked. When the accident happened to Mr. He's family, the child was traveling down the mountain. According to Lao Junshan, he was not murdered, but came to the capital to pursue the real culprit."

Lu Ping shook his head and said: "He is alone, lonely and lonely, and he didn't ask us for help, so it's better not to have any troubles. Mr. He's chief assistant has spent his whole life for the country and the people. Now there is only this bloodline left. We always have to Help him keep it."

Lu Wenyuan said: "Father, don't worry, I will continue to let people look for him."

Lu Ping hummed.

Zhou Xiandao: "Lord Yuezhang, I just sent someone to look at it. Qiuyu, Zongru and Rengan are all in Junziju, let's go too."

Lu Pingdao: "People come to you to heal their injuries, but we go to see their patients. It's really inappropriate. It's like trying to repay your kindness. Let's wait and see."

Zhou Xiandao: "Based on my observation, that nephew Li Xian is not the one who cares about these little things, what's more, if the father-in-law is ill, the situation of the court will be unimaginable, the son-in-law thinks that the father-in-law should put the country and the country as the most important thing, so there is no need to care about these little things. "

Lu Ping thought for a while, got up and said: "Forget it, I will be a villain once." (End of this chapter)
