    The attack on this New Year's Eve banquet was expected by Chu Yun.

    Ever since he rejected the aristocratic family's deal, he has maintained an extremely delicate and dangerous relationship with the great aristocratic family.

    The aristocratic family was afraid of his military power and command, but they were unwilling to let him completely out of control and take over the government. As for the aristocratic family, Chu Yun maintained an attitude from beginning to end.

    He did not see the serious disease in his eyes.

    Even if the tendons are attached with blood, sooner or later, they will be completely gouged out and cleaned.

    Facing the arrogance and domineering of the Dazhou mission, the reason why Chu Yun endured, agreed to the peace talks, and signed a humiliating covenant. There were many reasons, but one of them wanted to use this covenant to claim In the name of salt and iron, some aristocratic families were stripped of their control over the Great Jin.

    This step was calculated, and it followed the trend, and it ended without any interest, but it also stepped on the sensitive harm of the aristocratic family.

    The exuberant and fluttering music came to an abrupt end, and the dancing girls and the palace servants were like terrified birds, catching their flashy wings and quickly retreating away.

    Needle drop in Tai Chi Hall.

    Civil and military officials avoided the liquor on the table, tucked their palms into the wide sleeves of their robes, drooped their eyelids, looked at their noses, and watched their hearts, hiding in the shadow of the brilliant lights in the hall. heard the new swords meet, but no one dared to be a rafter.

    In the past ten years, in this court, only people dared to make fun of the emperor's stupidity and senselessness, but no one dared to look directly at the cold eyes of the regent.

    The confrontation between the noble family and the palace is seen by some discerning people, but sooner or later, only if this dirty muddy water is not splashed on his head one day, he will be alone one day. As for which side to sit on in private, it is not a one-time decision.

    In the center of the hall, the old minister Lu Yushi staggered and fell to his knees.

    The repressed and cautious atmosphere was unmoved, and the quiet death was as if there were no half-persons in this brightly lit hall.

    Only the silence that was full of unease didn't seem to affect the Lu Fenglou of the Dragon Chair. He picked up the silver chopsticks he just put down again, put two pieces of mutton into the plate, raised his hand and pushed it to Chu Yun's table, and said with a smile: "This mutton is well done, teacher will try it. "

    Chu Yun's raised hand paused, and then he picked up the silver chopsticks, but the hunched back of Yushi Lu, who was kneeling down the steps, shook, and raised his head: "Your Majesty—!"

    "Lu Aiqing."

    Lu Fenglou's smile was half a point, and his tone was as sloppy and meaningless as before, but it was just right, breaking Lu Yushi's future exit.

    He glanced at Lu Yushi, and asked like he was bored and gossiping: "I have been recovering for a long time, and I don't have much free time to focus on what's on my mind. Listening to Lu Aiqing's words, these days seem to be A lot of important things have happened. Now that you are here, you may wish to tell me what's new in the courtroom these days. The argument for reforms and reforms is not a good idea. Where did it come from—"

    "Every old minister of the Great Jin Dynasty, if you really open your mouth and shut your mouth and wear a minister's hat to the teacher, it's not just a glass of wine, a little thing can be counted."

    Lu Fenglou's eyes were shaken by the falling Mian's light and shadows, he paused, and there was a faint smile in his voice: "After all, the teacher is the co-minister appointed by the father, I am a big teacher. The regent of Jin is not as good as my reputation—something that doesn't bother me should be used to disturb the teacher. I'm right, Lu Aiqing?"

    The beard on Lu Yushi's lips trembled slightly, and out of the corner of his eyes, he quietly glanced at the location of the Zhao family leader.

    Patriarch Zhao put his sleeves in his hands, and the old god was looking down, looking like he didn't care about things. Hearing Lu Fenglou's words, his eyebrows twitched slightly.

    ‌The emperor was used to meeting and muddling.

    Only the slaughter's knife has been cut, how can it stop without seeing blood?

    Lu Yushi seemed to have seen something from the face of the Zhao family, so he kowtowed heavily to Lu Fenglou, took out a book from his sleeve and raised it over his head, and said with a sharp sword in his mouth: " Your Majesty, the regent's domineering, piece by piece, black and white, this minister will never dare to deceive you!"

    Lu Fenglou raised his eyes and asked Deman to run down to get a memorial.

    "In the first half of the month, when various officials came to Beijing to report their duties, the Regent made a big move in the Ministry of Personnel, and re-drawn the method of reviewing officials. Fang's old officials were filled in, and the personnel department was in chaos..."

    "The redemption agreement of salt and iron in Zhou and Jin has been set, and the first batch of salt and iron grains will be sent to Zhou in the beginning of the spring. The regent levied grains a few years ago, and then split a group of private salt dealers in the south of the Yangtze River. Salt and iron and grain prices There were big ups and downs, and the people were full of grievances. The Central Plains and the Jiangnan officialdom were also in danger and turbulent, and from time to time, orders were passed on without the council's order, arresting, beheading, beheading..."

    "In addition, the Imperial City Army and Dongdaying were secretly mobilized, and the council hall couldn't even ask about their whereabouts. The generals of the generals could not bear the regent's domineering behavior, and there were generals who were suspicious. The regent behaved like this. , ignoring the council hall and your majesty the emperor, I am afraid that something will happen in this capital..."

    Lu Fenglou flipped through the book and listened to Censor Lu's rhythmic voice, but there was no major disturbance in his heart.

    Looking at the piles and pieces of this book, Lu Fenglou actually felt a little illusory and distorted.

    It turned out that these days, Chu Yun came and went in a hurry, kept silent, and was doing these things. The reforms to get rid of the ills, shake the salt, iron and grain of the family's foundation. He seems to have no fear, and he hides these things when he does these things. He hides them in an open and honest way, and tells all kinds of spies and forces plainly—I have something to do, so I hide it from you and everyone. I am not afraid that you will investigate, that you will know, or that you will be wrong.

    Some people say that he is in rebellion, some people say that he is chaotic, some people say that this paved the way for him to ascend the throne and become the emperor, suppress the family, and exclude dissidents.

    But the wolf's ambition is to covet the world, so why is it so unrelenting, cutting all the way out, even at the cost of feathers?

    - About to be a tyrant.

    Lu Fenglou sneered in his heart, exhaled slowly, and closed his eyes.

    "Your Majesty, now Dajin has just made peace with Dazhou. It's not easy to take a sigh of relief after fighting all year round, and I can't bear the trouble any longer." Lu Yushi sighed with a bitter expression, "Prince Regent. I don't dare to talk about what you are thinking. But for the sake of the Jin Dynasty, don't stir up the chaos and turmoil in the government!"

    "Also ask Your Majesty to call the shots, stop this so-called reform!"

    Two lines of old tears slid down the folds at the corners of Censor Lu's eyes. After he finished speaking with hatred, he bowed heavily on the marble steps again.

    The hall was silent for a moment.

    Another light cough sounded suddenly.

    Everyone's eyes gathered, and a minister stood up and glanced at Chu Yun, then buried his head deeply, and said, "I hope your majesty, abolish the reform!"

    If you have one or two, there will be three.

    Without seeing the reply from Lu Fenglou, the slight rubbing of clothes sounded one after another, and figures stood up one after another: "I hope your majesty, abolish the reform!"

    "Reforms in ancient times are all signs of chaos in the country! No, no, no waste!"

    "Also please decree your majesty!"

    The sound grew louder and louder, and the golden dragon's beard trembled slightly as it shook the pillars of the Taiji Hall.

    Zhao Patriarch stretched out his hand in his sleeve, and slowly poured himself a glass of wine.

    Through the clear wine, he looked up at his subordinate who seemed to be stirring up the flames, but always felt that something was missing.

    But before he could think about it, Lu Fenglou opened his mouth again.

    "In ancient times, the reforms, ‌‌‌‌, went down and made a big fight."

    Lu Fenglou said together, "Teacher, these things have only been tossed about for half a month and moved a little bit. Where can we talk about reforms?"

    A minister said coldly: "Your Majesty, the official system and the salt and iron system have been changed, and there are more than these two, both openly and secretly, so how can we not reform? , Your Majesty won't know until it happens, Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, and you don't even know about this..."

    The minister paused and squeezed the second half of the sentence out of his throat: "If you say that you can cover the sky with one hand...it's more than that!"

    The last few words are heartbreaking.

    The smile on Lu Fenglou's lips slowly faded, he stared at the minister for a moment, and then looked at Chu Yun next to him.

    Chu Yun was still eating the mutton served by the emperor in a leisurely manner. After the meat was finished, he took a sip of tea and looked down at the half-knelt civil and military officials.

    At a glance, he could see the identity and position of the kneeling official, and then he matched the forces behind him. Chu Yun knew that he had drawn a line in his body.

    There are civil servants, there are military generals, there are honorable people, and there are also poor families. The noble family and Jiangmen wore the same pair of trousers, and wanted to take him to the sacrificial knife first.

    Whether or not Lu Fenglou is present at this New Year's Eve banquet today, this game is set. The only difference is that don't do this article about holding the emperor hostage, and don't tear the waves to the face.

    Imagine Chinese Network

    Chu Yun lifted his robes, stood up, and walked down the jade steps: "Your Majesty is very patient, and told him this."

    Along with his steps, the stalk of the jade-handled Fengtian sword hanging from his waist slowly swayed. He walked up to Yushi Lu, and the hilt of the sword almost poked at Yushi Lu's forehead.

    Some ministers held their breath and hunched over even more.

    "The late emperor entrusted this great Jin and His Majesty to the care of this king. In the past ten years, this king said that he did not put all his heart into it, but he said it was reluctant." Rebellious and arrogant, "But in the final analysis, this Da Jin's surname is Lu. Not my Chu Yun's Chu, nor your lord's Zhao Qian Sun Li."

    Patriarch Zhao held the hand of the wine glass for a while, and the squat Patriarch Qian next to him opened a gap with his slightly narrowed eyes.

    "So, no matter what this king does, whether or not he pleases everyone, as long as His Majesty doesn't say a word, it's not your turn to come here to coerce and ask for your life."

    Chu Yun looked down at Lu Yushi who was close at hand, and said coldly: "If you can't stand it, just remonstrate, if you can't remonstrate, just hit the pillar and leave the court.  This king's one word hall, now that this king has sat down, what should you do?"

    "Have you really asked Your Majesty to order...to behead this king?"

    The cold sweat on Lu Yushi's forehead covered his temples.

    Yushi Lu and Chu Yun looked at each other, and suddenly felt that the family's plan might have gone wrong.

    In front of him, the regent was so arrogant that he could be called a madman, but his eyes were so calm that he was panicking. In his mouth, he said that it was absurd to rely on the emperor to make the princes rebel, but there was no taste of power in his eyes.

    This Dajin's surname is Lu, but this New Year's Eve banquet is surnamed Zhao Qiansun Li and Chu, but it doesn't seem to be so clear.

    Lu Yushi was a little horrified and a little puzzled. Looking at Chu Yun's slightly drooping hand, he couldn't tell whether it was a pair of hands of a chess player, so he could only move his throat and his lips trembled. Squeeze out two words: "—Reverse, thief!"

    There was a gust of wind coming, and it knocked open the side window of the Taiji Hall, which was not very strict.

    The sudden heavy snow rolled in coldly, and the candles in the hall suddenly flickered.

    The dazzling light and shadow stroked Chu Yun's cold and calm brows, making his expression full of obscure confusion and treacherousness.

    He calmly looked at Censor Lu, and put his finger on the hilt of the sword: "Master Lu is not a traitor. But Master Lu killed his wife and son in a remote rural area twenty years ago, just to marry the six members of the Zhao family. The elder sister is the wife, so she is not a good person."

    Lu Yushi's old and yellow eyes widened.

    "In these years, you have been promoted step by step from the censor's desk, and you have participated in the corrupt household servant, but you have received more money than the household servant. You have fought against the prefect who killed his colleagues, but you have It's more than a few lives behind the prefect. I scolded the nobles who robbed the women by force, but it was more cruel than the nobles playing with women."

    The speed of Chu Yun's speech gradually became faster, and each word became heavier and heavier, like a hammer, smashing hard on the board of Tai Chi Hall.

    Lu Yushi's straight back trembled slightly.

    He pursed his lips, trying to interrupt the distinction, but under Chu Yun's Shen Ning's indifferent gaze, he couldn't utter a single word.

    He used to say that this was a false accusation without evidence, but he made it out as a dignified regent, how could there really be no evidence? After being buried for so many years, the pickled cucumbers that no one thought no one would know about were pulled out one by one, how could they get rid of them by defending themselves?

    Lu Yushi's face was like golden paper.

    At the end, only heard Qiang's move and Qingyue's drawing of his sword.

    The icy sword blade oozing with chills pressed down on the neck, which was hard to straighten, and Yushi Lu's beard trembled as he shouted fiercely, "Your Majesty—this minister has been wronged!"

    "Cao Cao likes to kill people in his dreams. This king is drunk and likes to dance the sword."

    Chu Yun looked around the hall lightly, put the sword back in its sheath, and walked back to the steps.

    A splash of hot blood just splattered on the table of Patriarch Zhao.

    His hand turned back to avoid it, but the wine glass had no time to hide, and was filled with a cup of bright red blood.

    The hand that was only retracted trembled, fell on the knee, and tapped slowly.

    At the ninth time, a terrified call from Wende came from his head, "Your Highness!"

    The ministers raised their eyes in panic, and saw the regent, who had just stepped on the highest jade rank, covered his mouth with his sleeves, and his sturdy figure was shaky.

    The surrounding palace servants rushed to help, the wide sleeves of the robe were torn open, but there was a large amount of black blood that was coughed up.The high-ranking Regent's face was pale and pale, his eyes were tightly closed, and when he took a breath, it was as faint as a fire in the wind.

    In an instant, the hall became chaotic and panicked.

    In the midst of this chaos, Zhao Patriarch stood up and said indifferently, "Your Majesty, pass on the imperial physician."
