Xi'anmen Ertiao Lane, Taishi Mansion of the Song Dynasty.

Hu Weiyong's arrival seemed to light up a bright light for the four great Confucians who were in trouble.

Once the Confucian scholars accepted the idea of ​​"guaranteing two and sacrificing three", the rest of the matter became simple. The two sides quickly reached an intention to cooperate and unanimously decided to fight each other on matters related to the three reforms in the future, striving to achieve the goal of disrupting the reform as soon as possible. .

It was already early in the morning when Hu Weiyong left, but the four great scholars were all in high spirits. Finally seeing the light of day to overcome the difficulties, they were so excited that they felt no fatigue.

Prime Minister Hu was also very happy. He took Song Shen's hand and praised Song Lian profusely: "Is this young man your grandson? What a talented person he is."

"Yes, it's very ineffective." Song Lian smiled bitterly, not because he was self-effacing.

His grandson is also a tyrant in Dongyang. The only difference between him and Hu Tianci is that no one has filed a lawsuit yet.

"Hey, I feel happy when I see him. This child will become a great person in the future." Hu Weiyong was full of praise and asked Song Shen how old he was and whether he was engaged.

Song Shen replied that at eighteen, there was no engagement.

In fact, in his family, at this age, and not getting married yet, this in itself means there is a problem.

Hu Weiyong, however, didn't care. He climbed up the pole and said to Song Lian: "It just so happens that my eldest brother's granddaughter is waiting for marriage. Since your grandson is not yet married, I have the audacity to propose to Taishi Gong. I wonder if I can get it?"

Hu Han and the other three were all shocked. They were planning to get married. Then the Song family will be completely bound to the Hu family.

Song Lian felt like he had eaten a fly, but he couldn't refuse. If you say you can't reach such a high level, isn't that completely offending Hu Weiyong? I still expect him to disrupt the three reforms...

Besides, his grandson is not a good person. He can marry the prime minister's family. What else is there to feel wronged about?

After pondering for a moment, he squeezed out a smile and said: "It is this boy's blessing that Meng and Hu will never abandon each other. Of course, this old man can't ask for it. However, marriage requires the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. It can be settled by just the two of us. Don’t count.”

"Hahaha, it's fine if Taishi Gong agrees. As long as Taishi Gong agrees, I will prepare generous gifts, invite ice men, and come to propose marriage." Hu Weiyong laughed loudly, grabbed Song Lian's hand and shook it a few times with satisfaction and said:

"I will recall your boss right away and make a date early."

"Okay..." Song Lian could only smile bitterly, but he didn't expect that he would enjoy the benefits of his in-laws without even a single word. It seems that this marriage is impossible to get rid of even if you want to.

Looking at his grandson Song Shen, he was still grinning from ear to ear. He wished he could kowtow to Hu Weiyong and call him grandpa on the spot.

Song Shen obviously knew that Hu Weiyong had no children and that his nephew and grandson-in-law was no different from his own grandson.

In the future, when you become the grandson of the prime minister, you no longer have to worry about being taken care of by the old man at every turn.

Song Lian and others watched Hu Weiyong get on the donkey cart and leave slowly.

"Alas, Tai Shigong's sacrifice was too great..." Dai Liang sighed.

"But this is also the meaning of the question. We need to cooperate for a long time in the future, so that both of us can rest assured." Su Boheng knew the general outline. It was not a marriage between his grandsons anyway.

"In any case, Prime Minister Hu has been favored by the saints and has been the prime minister for ten years. After he becomes an official in the future, the remaining shadow will be enough to protect his grandson." Hu Han said it like a human being.

"Well, the prince and Prime Minister Hu have never been on good terms. Who knows what will happen in the future?" Song Lian sighed.

"Tai Shigong, you are an old man. This year, Mr. Hu has changed his mind and will never fight against the prince again." Dai Liang said with a smile.

"Really?" Song Lian didn't know about this new change yet.

"Yes, Prime Minister Hu obviously wants to ease the relationship with the Crown Prince, and his sudden marriage to Grand Duke Tai is probably also based on this consideration." Su Boheng said in a low voice.

"That makes sense." Everyone nodded.

Song Lian thought about it and found this was the only possibility, so he said cautiously: "If he has this intention, I will naturally help to make peace."

On the other side, Hu Xiang's donkey cart drove slowly on the quiet Xi'anmen Street.

It was dark inside the carriage and the stars were shining brightly outside. Hu Weiyong and Hu De sat side by side at the front of the carriage.

Seeing that his uncle was in a good mood, Hu De joked and whispered, "Uncle really likes that Song Shen?"

"Yeah." Hu Weiyong looked at the stars in the sky and missed his baby and said, "I see the shadow of God's gift in him."

"Oh..." Hood almost couldn't hold himself back, thinking to himself, isn't that just a standard bastard?

"But more importantly, it is to tie Song Lian and those great scholars to our chariot." Hu Weiyong changed the topic and said proudly: "I didn't expect them to be so cooperative. It seems that too many books will not work. .”

"Hehe, they're just a bunch of nerds." Hu De chuckled and said, "If it weren't for my uncle, I don't know how many nerds would have survived tonight."

"Don't look down on nerds, public opinion is in their hands." Hu Weiyong sighed softly: "Originally, they were the ones I was most worried about."

Hood knew that his uncle was worried about what people's attitude would be after the coup.

At this time, the attitude of civil servants is very critical.

With the support of civil servants, the coup was a popular success and brought order to chaos. If the civil servants object fiercely, they will become rebellious officials and traitors, and everyone will find them and punish them.

It can be seen from what happened this time that although the civil servants are not strong individually, once they are twisted into a rope, they will become the general trend.

Even Boss Zhu and his son were in trouble for going against the general trend and were sprayed all over their bodies. Can you imagine what kind of public opinion they will face once they are labeled as rebellious officials and traitors? Eventually this trend will turn into a massive wave that will completely bury them.

Therefore, if Hu Weiyong had dealt with the civilian officials before taking action, the coup would have been more effective. Otherwise, it will be half the result with twice the result...

But Confucianism is also called Mingjiao, and the most important thing is the principle of identity. Under normal circumstances, it would be absolutely impossible to support him in a coup. Originally, even Hu Weiyong did not expect those great Confucians to support him. He only planned to install more confidants and buddies in the civil service ranks, and then use the voices of these people to dilute the opposition of Shilin.

Unexpectedly, Boss Zhu and Lao Liu teamed up to give a big gift at this time. These two men were so frustrated that they actually carried out three reforms and even kicked Confucius out of the Imperial Academy. This was a serious offense to Confucianism.

How could Hu Weiyong let go of this God-given opportunity? He immediately used his horizontal jumping skills and started to sow discord between the two sides.

In front of the emperor, he firmly supported the reform and pushed the civil servants to a dead end.

When the civil servants were in despair, he turned into a savior and helped them solve their problems.

The purpose is to make the civil servants hate Boss Zhu and his son and cooperate with him to deal with Lao Liu. In this way, when his coup is successful, they will no longer be able to get on the pirate ship and can only encourage and cheer for him.

"This is really God helping uncle." Hood praised hurriedly.

"It's not the sky, it's our Emperor who pushed his civil servants and generals to come to my side." Hu Weiyong raised his hand in a bow and arrow gesture, fired an arrow towards the purple star in the sky and said:

"This means that if God does evil, it will be forgiven, but if you do evil yourself, you will not live."
