Wu Yuanqing was the Grand Master of the current dynasty. In the eyes of the Qingliu faction, he was a traitorous minister with power over the entire government. His life was almost a blatant denial of the imperial examination and promotion system that the Qingliu faction relied on to survive.
First of all, he is an ignorant and incompetent dandy! He was able to become an official simply because his family had been officials for generations, so he relied on the "grace" of his ancestors to become an official. In other words, he was what the ancient scholars pursued.
The vested interest of the "shadowing son" among the "conferential wives".
But it doesn't matter if it's just like this. After all, the imperial examination system in Daliang is very complete. Generally, those who enter the official position due to kindness can only be the kind of officials who have jobs but no power. However, Wu Yuanqing's luck is very good.
, his sister married the emperor and gave birth to an emperor!
With the help of his sister and nephew, he rose to prominence step by step, becoming a Grand Master step by step, and was even able to ascend the throne to worship the Prime Minister!
There are various unwritten rules for the imperial examination in Daliang. After the imperial examination for most people, the upper limit of their career in the officialdom has been decided. The first-class Jinshi, that is, the top three in the imperial examination, all have the opportunity to attack the cabinet, and the second-class Jinshi
That is to say, the top 40-50 people in the imperial examination have a certain chance of entering the cabinet, while those below the second-level rank have basically no chance of entering the cabinet.
In this system, even those top picks with family backgrounds and teachers' protection must go through the corresponding qualifications according to the rules, and there must be no mistakes in the process in order to have a chance to impact the cabinet.
And this opportunity only gives them a very small chance of success.
It can be said that if the imperial examination is like a carp jumping over the dragon's gate, then it is very difficult to go from the palace examination to the cabinet. As long as there is a difficulty that is not overcome, it can only be wiped out! So how difficult is it to go from the imperial examination to the cabinet?
However, for Wu Yuanqing, who was so ignorant and unskilled, he was able to work his way into the cabinet and become a grand master just because his sister married well!
The Grand Master was one of the Three Dukes, and was the nominal head of the world's civil servants. The Prime Minister was actually the head of the world's civil servants. Wu Yuanqing occupied the capital of both the nominal and actual civil servants.
It is no exaggeration to say that his existence is a mockery of Hongguoguo to all the scholars in the world!
But Wu Yuanqing is not satisfied with this. He is already a very popular minister and wants to grab greater benefits! He wants to build his Wu family into the largest wealthy family in Daliang!
And now it seems that he really has a great chance of success. After all, not only is the queen mother of the dynasty his sister, the emperor of the dynasty is his nephew, his daughter also married his own nephew and became the queen of the dynasty.
The current prince is his direct grandson!
This isn’t the end yet!
Wu Yuanqing's granddaughter went to the palace every day since she was a child. When she was a little older, she went to the palace to study with the princes and princesses.
You must know that his daughter and today's son have gone from childhood sweethearts to husband and wife. Seeing that another version of childhood sweethearts has appeared, from an emotional point of view, the emotional basis for the third queen of the Wu family has been established, and the realistic interest basis has also been established.
.
Lu Xu combined the memory of the original owner with his own judgment and came up with a theory. The foundation of Daliang's rule was based on "the royal family and the scholar-bureaucrats co-ruling the world." The imperial power, which originally valued civility over military affairs, had to rely on the support of the scholar-bureaucrats to secure this position.
The world.
When Daliang was strong, this was nothing. But as Daliang gradually weakened and the imperial power gradually declined, the influence of scholar-bureaucrats in the court became stronger and stronger, and it was even strong enough to threaten the authority of the imperial power. Then the royal family must do something
To counterattack, the way to counterattack is to support another force to compete with the scholar-bureaucrats.
The Wu family was obviously introduced by the royal family to fight for them against the scholar-bureaucrats! In order to make the Wu family and the scholar-bureaucrats fight more stubbornly, the royal family must give the Wu family some benefits, and the position of the queen is one of them.
Facts have proved that the Wu family has indeed done a good job, and they are becoming more and more important to the imperial power. The interests of the royal family and the Wu family are becoming more and more closely integrated, and the Wu family has the basis of interests to produce a third queen.
The scholar-bureaucrats naturally did not want to see their enemies continue to grow. They openly mocked the Wu family as a "descendant clan" and called them the largest family of relatives in history!
Before the original incident happened, the person who was most enthusiastic about criticizing the Wu family and had the most ferocious firepower was Yoo Shin-hoo! But after the original incident happened, Yoo Shin-hou suddenly changed his tune and joined the Wu family's camp. No one in the world knew what happened to Yoo Shin-hou?
Lu Xu had speculated before that Liu Xinhou changed his mind because the person who had an affair with Liu Xiangling was the Wu family. For the sake of his daughter and the reputation of the Liu family, Liu Xinhou had to betray his position. But at the time, he had no evidence to verify this. This idea continued until Shen Lan appeared.
only......
Lu Xu still had two questions that he couldn't figure out. The Wu family was based in the capital, and because they were relatives participating in politics, they had little influence in other places. How did they influence Qin Fenglu?
Another question is that the Wu family and the Liu family are enemies, and Liu Xiangling is also a young lady from an aristocratic family. Unless she is from a good family, it would be difficult for a man from an ordinary family to meet Liu Xiangling. How did Liu Xiangling get captured by the Wu family?
Although Lu Xu doesn't know the answers to these two questions yet, he already knows how to check?
Lu Xu took a faint sip of the drink and murmured: "I even gave two pseudonyms, but both of them were named Shen. It's hard to believe that this is a coincidence! Moreover, I remember that one of my classmates from my previous life was named Shen. Your noble young master, it seems that young master must also have many stories!"
On this side, Lu Xu finally gradually found out the location of the enemy for the original owner. On the other side, Shen Binhong was also ready to attack Lu Xu.
In the secret room of Shen Mansion, Shen Binhong was having a secret conversation with his cronies.
Just listen to the confidant and Shen Binhong say: "Master, everything has been arranged. In a few days, it will be the day to transport food to Wei'an Fort. We have made arrangements for the food transport team. This time, as long as someone comes to rob them, They will disperse in a flurry, and when the time comes, Wei'an Fort will be able to run out of food!"
Shen Binhong nodded with satisfaction: "Have you spent enough money? If you want those who are transporting grain not to spread the news back to Qinzhou Mansion, you must give them enough money so that they can follow our people and fly away."
The confidants responded quickly: "Yes, don't worry, young master. We have done a good job of settling the money and their arrangements, and we have also made arrangements for Qinzhou Mansion. At least there are clear records in the accounts, and the food has been delivered." Dawian Fort, no one in Qinzhou Prefecture will know that Dawian Fort has run out of food in a short time."
Shen Binhong nodded with satisfaction: "That's very good. As long as Wei'an Fort runs out of food, we can force Lu Xu out of Wei'an Fort. Once Lu Xu leaves Wei'an Fort, we will have a way to kill him." !”
