Lu Yihao persuaded her again, and her granddaughter Lu Xiu left. Lu Yihao's mood suddenly became heavy.
Xu Yun said in a deep voice: "Teacher, I'm afraid Xiu Niang's worries are somewhat justified!"
Of course, Lu Yihao knew that his granddaughter was right. If the sky fell, tall people would hold it up, and the prime minister must be responsible for the evil done by the court. He originally had a trace of luck, but now his granddaughter has torn away the last trace of luck.
He thought for a long time and sighed: "Forget it, I will make my attitude public!"
"What does the teacher plan to do?"
"Isn't Qin Hui making a joint signature? I am also openly signing a joint signature, and I am firmly opposed to handing over Chen Qing to the Kingdom of Jin and making the matter bigger. At least I, Lu Yihao, have a firm and clear attitude."
"Yes! It's a good idea to make things worse."
Lu Yihao smiled bitterly in his heart, if he made things worse, would the officials spare him?
Xu Yun said cautiously: "Can my mentor bring out the hidden power?"
The secret power Xu Yun mentioned refers to Taixue students. Several students of Lu Yihao are PhDs in Taixue and have high prestige, which allows Lu Yihao to indirectly control Taixue. When necessary, Taixue students will become Lu Yihao's political bargaining chip.
Lu Yihao was still a little hesitant on the issue of whether to use Tai students.
In fact, Lu Yihao did not have a positive attitude in rescuing Chen Qing. He basically did not use his political power. Instead, he 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.
He wanted to protect his position as prime minister.
But the situation is stronger than the people. As Qin Hui takes the initiative to attack, Lu Yihao finally realizes that even if he insists on surrendering, he may not be able to keep his position as prime minister in the end. If Qin Hui succeeds, the officials will definitely reward Qin Hui and Qin Hui will replace him.
It's ironclad.
On the contrary, if Qin Hui's deal fails this time and the officials are angry about Qin Hui's incompetence, Qin Hui will lose his way up.
In the final analysis, this Chen Qing incident will evolve into a battle for and defense of the prime minister.
Thinking of this, Lu Yihao finally made up his mind and nodded, "We will try our best to fight back!"
...........
Half an hour later, Shangshu Zuocheng Liu Yi, Minister of Rites Guan Qian, Taichang Temple Shaoqing Li Jing, Taixue doctor Yu Xiaoliang and Xu Yun discussed countermeasures in the prime minister's house.
The purpose of their struggle has changed from opposing the trade of anti-gold generals to sniping at Qin Hui's rise to power. This is a major matter related to their vital interests.
Of course, the banner they raised was still to uphold justice and oppose the exchange of anti-golden generals.
That night, everyone split up and rushed to the residences of various ministers of the DPRK and China, and also began to sign a petition to oppose the exchange.
At the same time, more than a dozen student leaders from Taipei University discussed and deployed protest countermeasures overnight, preparing to launch large-scale protests and demonstrations the next day.
Lin'an City is turbulent, and Chen Qing's fate affects everyone's attention.
.........
Qin Hui returned to his house very late. He was exhausted from running around for the past two days to sign the petition. He was not as full-fledged and had many party members as Lu Yihao. He was basically a loner. Fan Zongyin supported him before, but since he and Lu Yihao
After Fan Zongyin fell out, Qin Hui became even more isolated in the court.
Fortunately, the officials support him, and his peaceful views are in line with the interests of many ministers, so although it is a little tiring, the gains are still considerable.
He walked into the back hall and was greeted by his wife Wang, followed by his nephew Wang Bo. Qin Hui's face sank, and he was very unhappy. Although he was a trustworthy nephew, Wang Bo did something a few days ago that really made him unhappy.
Qin Hui was angry.
Wang Bo actually contacted Wan Yanchang without permission, forcing himself to meet with Wan Yanchang.
You must know that Qin Hui has been trying his best to get rid of the label of Jin Guo spy, especially after he became deputy prime minister, he took his reputation more and more seriously. He also hated the low status of Jin Guo spy. He wanted to be upright and Wanyan
Chang sat together to negotiate, even if he was slightly biased towards the Kingdom of Jin, it would be fine, but he could not meet as master and servant, which would cause him to suffer huge humiliation.
However, this Wang Bo was ignorant and violated Qin Hui's taboo. How could Qin Hui not be angry?
Wang was good at observing people's words. When he saw the anger in his husband's eyes, he knew that he was angry with his nephew, so he advised: "Husband, I have already taught Bo'er a lesson. He already knows his mistakes. Please teach him more so that he can continue to grow."
Only then can you become your husband’s right-hand man.”
In front of his wife, Qin Hui is more or less soft-eared. Although he knows that a playboy like Wang Bo cannot become a great person and he cannot use such a person as his right-hand man, he is his wife's party after all and the eldest grandson of the Wang family. He has obligations.
support.
"Ask him to come to the study to see me!" Qin Hui left in a hurry after leaving a few words.
Qin Hui changed his clothes and sat down in the study. After a while, Wang Bo came in with a smiling face and said, "My nephew has important news. I came here overnight to tell my uncle!"
"What's the news?" Qin Hui asked without raising his head after taking a sip of tea.
"Lu Yihao is also signing a petition to oppose the handover of Chen Qing to the Jurchens!"
‘Bang!’ Qin Hui’s tea cup fell to the ground and rolled ten feet away.
"Are you telling the truth?"
"It's absolutely true. My nephew's uncle has already signed the declaration."
Qin Hui took a breath of air. The reason why he lost his composure was that he knew very well what the signature meant. That was Lu Yihao's public statement against exchanging Chen Qing for the Queen Mother. Once he made a public statement, he would be held accountable or recorded in history books.
Instead, all responsibilities have to be borne by himself. Why did this old fox wake up?
"Oh! My rain is better than the sky!"
Qin Hui hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the tea cup. When he saw a small cut on the edge, he felt extremely heartbroken. This was the Ru Kiln used by the late emperor. It was also a gift given to him by Wan Yanchang this time. It was the only one in Lin'an.
, extremely precious.
He picked up a piece of porcelain as big as 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 it and whispered: "I also have a set of Ru kiln official porcelain tea sets at home. I will give it to my uncle as a filial piety!"
Wang Bo's obedience made Qin Hui's dissatisfaction with him disappear by 80%. He nodded, "It's rare for you to be filial. I thank you in advance. I will go back and tell Wang Huan that I am going to let him go to Kuaiji to be the magistrate of the county and hold the title of Doctor of the Ministry of Industry."
, let him do a good job."
"Thank you uncle for your concern. Is there any chance for my nephew?" Wang Bo asked with a smile on his face.
"There is an opportunity in the palace. I will serve as the right-hand squad leader in front of the palace. I will work for two years and then go out to train for the team. My uncle has given you the opportunity. You must seize it yourself."
Wang Bo was overjoyed. When he reached the level of Ban Zhi, it was usually in the twenties. This was the advantage of having someone behind him. He didn't have to work hard to gain merit and climb up slowly. He could go up in one step.
"My nephew also has a suggestion. In fact, we can kill Chen Qing directly, tell the public that he was overwhelmed and committed suicide, and then replace the dead body with the dead body and give the body to the Kingdom of Jin. This will have the best of both worlds."
Qin Hui snorted dissatisfiedly, "You only come up with such bad ideas. I can't even handle the things assigned by the officials. 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 an official game. Chen Qing was assassinated. The Kingdom of Jin lost, so did I, but Lu Yihao won. Do you understand?"
"It turns out that what Jin Guo wants is not Chen Qing's head!"
"Of course I need Chen Qing's head, and I also need the confidence to defeat the Western Army. I need both bear's paws and fish."
Qin Hui became a little impatient and waved his hand. Wang Bo quickly clasped his fists and stepped back. Qin Hui picked up his tea cup and was so heartbroken that he almost shed tears.
...........
Early the next morning, a massive demonstration by Taipei students began. Thousands of people held huge banners saying, 'Anti-Jin generals will not be traded!'; 'Defend the honor of the Song Dynasty to the death!'; 'Execute Qin Hui, the traitor!'.
Thousands of Tai students chanted slogans and marched throughout the city. Soon, thousands of students from Fu Xue also joined. More and more citizens were infected by the enthusiasm and joined the march.
The story of Chen Qing defeating the first Jurchen warrior with seven arrows in Fengle Tower has already spread throughout Lin'an. He is regarded as a hero of the Song Dynasty by the simple people of Lin'an. When he heard that the imperial court was going to hand him over to the Jurchens, countless people were angered and the momentum was high.
The huge march changed from a few thousand people to tens of thousands, from tens of thousands to 100,000 people, and the entire Yuhang Street was filled with endless streams of protestors.
"Release the anti-Jin generals!", "Kill the traitors!" The angry shouts shook the sky and the earth.
The parade stopped in front of Donghua Gate in Da Nei. Tens of thousands of people and Tai students sat on the ground and began a sit-down hunger strike.
The spectacular protest march in the city shocked the entire government and the public. The officials were uneasy, fearing that they would become one of the traitors. At this time, Lu Yihao also signed a joint signature between the DPRK and China to oppose the transaction of Chen Qing, who was only thirty years old.
With the remaining signatures and demonstrations, the public opinion immediately turned around. Hundreds of officials expressed their opinions that the Queen Mother could be redeemed with money, but she could not exchange it with anti-gold generals.
The number of signatures opposing the deal has also surged from more than 30 to more than 300, with many officials signing on from both sides.
More than 300 people were only official officials, and there were also a large number of idle officials in Lin'an. Officials went to various districts and asked idle officials to sign signatures in opposition.
In front of the Donghua Gate, on a piece of silk cloth three feet long and one foot wide, tens of thousands of people opposed the exchange of anti-Jin generals' signatures. Thousands of Tai students even cut their fingers and signed with blood.
At this time, Zhao Gou, an official who was far away in the palace, also felt tremendous political pressure.
