Sign a Lu Fengxian at the beginning

Chapter 62 Don’t you still see the current situation clearly?

"Do you know? General Wu Jin wanted to launch an army to rebel, but the emperor had his family confiscated and his family exterminated."

"Yes! Among those who had their homes confiscated and exterminated were more than 20 officials, including the Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Rites. These are all high-ranking officials of the imperial court, and their homes were confiscated."

"That's not right! Why did I hear that the general did not rebel at all? It was the emperor who wanted to kill the general, so he charged the general with rebellion."

"Where did you hear the news? I have relatives in the Prime Minister's Mansion. This news came from the Prime Minister's Mansion. It is absolutely true."

"Indeed, I have a distant relative who works as an errand in the House of the Minister of Revenue, and he said the same thing. He also said that the queen in the palace almost killed the emperor with the imperial army."

"Shh, keep your voice down, you dare to say this."

…

As the court meeting ended, news spread that General Wu Jin and others had their homes confiscated and their families exterminated because of the rebellion.

Originally, yesterday, many people were ambiguous about the fact that the General's Mansion and more than 20 imperial officials had their homes confiscated and their families exterminated.

Don't know exactly what happened.

Why did the emperor suddenly confiscate his family and exterminate the general's palace and more than 20 court ministers?

You must know that even the emperor, without a suitable reason, cannot say that he will confiscate whose house and destroy his clan if he wants to.

Otherwise, how can we win the trust of the world?

But now, the news spread that General Wu Jin and his men had rebelled and had their homes confiscated, and everyone understood it.

It turned out that General Wu Jin and more than 20 officials had their homes confiscated and exterminated because of rebellion.

The common people only regarded such news as a topic of conversation after dinner.

No matter which official in the court had his family confiscated and his family exterminated, it had nothing to do with them.

As long as they can have enough to eat.

But this is nothing less than a big shock to all parties.

Regardless of whether the news is true or false, it doesn't matter.

What's important is that they saw for the first time the methods of the one on the throne.

This forced them to re-examine who should be on the throne in the palace.

Sighing, indeed none of the emperors who can sit on the Dragon Throne is an easy person.

…

Prime Minister's Mansion.

In the drawing room.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo sat on the main seat, and three officials sat below him.

These three officials are none other than three of the six ministers in the court, namely the minister of household affairs, the minister of punishment and the minister of industry.

When it comes to the power in the court, on the surface it seems that the biggest one is the power of the queen and the general's relatives, but the real deep-rooted ones are the interest groups represented by the wealthy families.

The power of the queen's relatives is like floating without roots in the court. The foundation is very shallow and can fall down with a slight push.

But the power of wealthy families is deeply rooted in the court and can truly subvert the existence of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo and these three ministers are the representatives of the huge interest groups of wealthy families in the court.

"Prime Minister, who is this Fang Xuanling? Does the Prime Minister know his origin?" Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment looked at Prime Minister Yuan Bo and asked.

For Fang Xuanling, who was suddenly promoted to the position of Minister of Civil Affairs by Zhou Chen, the officials in the court were envious and jealous.

Everyone wanted to find out the details about Fang Xuanling.

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.

Even the Minister of Justice and the other two ministers were no exception.

I also want to find out the details of Fang Xuanling.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo shook his head; "I know nothing."

"If the truth is correct, Fang Xuanling is probably the same as Cao Zhengchun and Lu Bu. No details can be found out."

Prime Minister Yuan Bo's words made the three ministers frown.

Before Cao Zhengchun and Lu Bu appeared, they sent people to investigate carefully, but they couldn't find any details or information.

If Fang Xuanling is really the same as Cao Zhengchun and Lu Bu, then the result is probably the same and nothing can be found.

"Prime Minister, the emperor directly appointed a white man as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. This is not in line with the rules of the court at all."

"Now that the general's relatives have fallen to one party, there are many positions available, especially some very important ones."

"If Fang Xuanling is left in control like this, our right to speak in the court will be greatly restricted."

The Minister of Revenue said with a cautious expression.

In the past, when the general's relatives and relatives were still together, they could still trade in private.

But if it were Fang Xuanling, could they still trade in private?

"Yes! Prime Minister, if those positions are controlled by Fang Xuanling, it will be as controlled as the palace. It will not be of any benefit to us." The Minister of Industry also nodded and agreed.

Since ancient times, the imperial power has increased, so the power of ministers will naturally be reduced.

For the huge interest groups of the aristocratic family, this is something they don't want to see.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo glanced at the three ministers lightly: "It has come to this time, and you are still focusing on this little benefit."

"Can't you still see the current situation clearly?"

"The relatives and the party represented by the Queen and the General are complementary to us. Although there are party disputes, they mostly cooperate in private. It is nothing more than an exchange of their own interests."

"But now that the queen and the general's relatives have fallen, do you think we can still survive?"

"hiss."

After hearing the words of Prime Minister Yuan Bo, the expressions of the three ministers changed, and they all took a breath of air.

The three people can become the figures of the six ministers after the four auxiliary ministers. Naturally, they are not ordinary figures. They instantly understood the meaning of Prime Minister Yuan Bo's words.

"What do you mean, Prime Minister, who in the palace will take action against us?"

"impossible!"

"Nine out of ten court officials come from aristocratic families. It is impossible for the one in the palace not to know the consequences of his actions."

"Unless he intends to make enemies of all the famous families in the world."

"If that's the case, then this great Zhou Dynasty is by no means as simple as turmoil. The person in the palace should know that."

The brows of the three ministers all knitted together.

They really couldn't believe that the interest group in the palace dared to touch their family.

You know, all the families in the world are one family.

Those who really dominate the Zhou Dynasty are the wealthy families.

It can be said that at least eight out of ten officials in the Zhou Dynasty came from aristocratic families.

It can be seen that the influence of the aristocratic family in Dazhou is deep and deep-rooted.

If the person in the palace really dared to take action against the noble family, he would undoubtedly be at the peak of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Does the person in the palace want to break up the big Thursday?

The Prime Minister said calmly with a paralyzed face: "Nothing is impossible."

"The one in the palace is temporarily unable to use his hands. If he does, we might all have to follow in the footsteps of the great general."

"No emperor can tolerate other forces that can threaten or influence the imperial power."

"We all underestimated the one in the palace."

Prime Minister Yuan Bo sighed.

As a veteran minister of the auxiliary country, he sees things more thoroughly and clearly than anyone else.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, I underestimated the person on the dragon throne, I originally thought he was just a mediocre master.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a hidden dragon!

Judging from yesterday's actions against the queen and the general's relatives, Prime Minister Yuan Bo knew that everyone underestimated Zhou Chen.

"So, the person in the palace now wants to build a plank road to assassinate Chen Cang secretly, stabilize us first, and then finish dealing with the affairs of the general's relatives and his party, so that he can free his hands to attack us?"
