Especially the common people outside, when they encounter injustice and have no way to complain, they will go to the Yushi Yamen to complain to Lu Guangren.
Originally, these matters were not under the control of Lu Guangren, but he liked to meddle in other people's affairs and really helped the people make decisions. Therefore, he involved many officials who had no integrity, oppressed the people, and did all kinds of evil.
Although this move disgusted many people in the court, the Queen Mother had to admit that he still had real abilities, and the people all said that he was a good official who asked for orders for the people.
Because of this, the Queen Mother tolerated him again and again. Unexpectedly, this time it became even worse, and the Queen Mother instantly became murderous.
Meng Shu next door was quite worried.
She knew that her grandfather had been persuading the Queen Mother to return power to the Emperor over the years. Even if the Emperor was in poor health, her grandfather still advocated cabinet ministers to assist the Emperor in governing the country, rather than letting the Queen Mother rule the world.
However, what my grandfather said today not only seemed to mean persecuting the Queen Mother, but also the Emperor.
What is grandfather going to do?
It's not enough to offend one, why should we offend the other?
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be the case. For a man as smart as my grandfather, there was no way he wouldn't leave a way out for himself.
If the emperor intervenes in government affairs because of his coercion, wouldn't the queen mother give some of her rights to the emperor?
It seems like coercion, but actually...
My grandfather must have had his own plans, and maybe he had reached a consensus with the emperor.
However, the Queen Mother must be very angry right now. What if she can't help it and orders her grandfather to be killed?
"Your Majesty!" Lu Guangren suddenly shouted, kowtowing and said: "You are the king of my great Zhou Dynasty, but you do not make decisions for the people and allow the Queen Mother to bring trouble to the court. The old minister can only die to remonstrate. I hope the emperor will never forget that you He is the lord of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the emperor has the final say in the affairs of the state!"
"Boom..."
A muffled sound came from next door, like the sound of someone hitting a pillar.
Meng Shu's heart trembled and she subconsciously stood up.
"Sister Meng, you can't go there." Princess Jiahe quickly took Meng Shu's hand and said in a low voice.
Meng Shu's face was a little pale. She knew that she could never break into the court next door, so she didn't act rashly.
She was just worried about her grandfather's safety.
"Father..." Lu Jinyi looked at Lu Guangren who fell to the ground, endured the severe pain in his arm, and squatted down to help him with his uninjured left arm.
He had been standing behind his father, watching his every move. When his father hit a pillar, he immediately rushed over to block him. His father hit him on his right arm, which was so painful that he could no longer lift his right arm, but He was more worried about his father's safety.
"Father..." Lu Jintong also rushed over.
"Pass the imperial physician..." the emperor ordered in a deep voice.
In the main hall, the ministers whispered that someone had a good personal relationship with Lu Guangren, but because of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, they did not dare to come forward to check.
Lu Guangren was old after all, so he hit the pillar with all his strength. Even if he hit his son's arm, he was injured. At this time, he fell to the ground, his eyes rolled white, and his body couldn't help twitching. It looked very scary.
When the emperor went to court in the early morning, there were imperial doctors on duty.
Waiting in the side hall today are Jiang Liyuan, the dean of the imperial hospital, and another young imperial doctor named Li Hong.
The two of them listened to the little eunuch's message and hurried to the main hall.
"To report to the Emperor and the Queen Mother, Mr. Lu's head was violently hit. Although there was no obvious external injury, there were internal injuries. The person was twitching uncontrollably and his pulse was weak. I pricked his Baihui point with a silver needle, and the twitching did not stop. According to the The medical book records that Mr. Lu must have suffered a serious head injury. He is afraid that he may be bleeding and may be life-threatening. Please ask Mr. Rong to immediately carry Mr. Lu to the side hall for treatment. Maybe his life can be saved." After Jiang Liyuan treated Lu Guangren, he said. Wiping the sweat on his head, he said anxiously.
"The injury is so severe?" The Queen Mother didn't believe it.
The force with which Lu Guangren hit him was indeed very strong, and the Queen Mother heard the sound clearly.
However, since he didn't hit a pillar after all, his life should not be in danger.
"To tell you the truth, even if Mr. Lu can save his life this time, he may suffer from a stroke in the future, unable to speak, bedridden all year round, and unable to walk." Jiang Liyuan said while kowtowing.
The Queen Mother was shocked when she heard this, and was about to ask a few more questions when she heard the emperor say: "Send Mr. Lu to the side hall for treatment. If you can save his life, I will give you a huge reward."
"Yes." Jiang Liyuan responded and quickly asked the guards to carry him to the side hall.
"Mother, as the king of a country, even if I am weak and have only a few years to live, I cannot ignore the country and the country. As long as I am alive, I should be concerned about the country and the people as Mr. Lu said, otherwise I will really have no shame in meeting my ancestors from now on.”
The emperor said, stood up and bowed to the Queen Mother: "In the past few years, I was unfilial and let my mother worry about me. From now on, as long as I am still alive, I will not let my mother worry alone, and I will share my mother's worries. "
After he finished speaking, he stood up and looked at the ministers with a hint of solemnity in his eyes: "No matter what, the rules left by our ancestors cannot be broken. Emperor Taizu has already told the world that I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, cannot marry. You should obey. There is no need to discuss the marriage. I, the Zhou Dynasty, are not afraid of the Xiqiang and will not marry a princess."
"Your Majesty is wise!" Lu Jinyi prostrated on the ground and said loudly.
The loudness of the voice was extremely obvious among the ministers.
Everyone's eyes fell on him.
He has not yet retired from the court. As a minister, Lu Jinyi can only stay here even if he is worried about his father.
At this time, Lu Jinyi couldn't lift his right arm due to pain, and he remained in a stiff posture, his whole body trembling.
"Lu Aiqing, please retreat to the side hall and let the imperial doctor examine you." The emperor waved his hand.
"I thank you for your kindness. Your Majesty is wise, mighty, and considerate of your subordinates. This is a blessing to all your ministers and all the people. I am so grateful that I will be loyal to your Majesty until the end of my life. I am willing to devote myself to the Emperor in return for your great kindness!" Lu Jinyi shed tears excitedly. Kowtow and give thanks.
All civil and military officials in the court were startled after hearing his words.
Is the Lu family taking over the emperor's side?
First, Lu Guangren deliberately said such words to provoke the emperor. It seemed that he was forcing the emperor and the queen mother to seize power. But what was the reality?
Without the emperor's approval, would he dare?
Out of filial piety, the emperor was not allowed to fight in public with the queen mother.
But if someone remonstrates with the king, it's different.
If the emperor disagrees with the empress dowager on politics out of righteousness, it is not unfilial.
When word spreads, no one will say anything wrong about the emperor. They will only say that the emperor is a wise king who can listen to the advice of his ministers.
He did not prefer the Queen Mother because she was his mother.
However... the emperor is in better health, but he still can't survive the Queen Mother and King Wei. They blatantly took refuge in the emperor and have trouble with the Queen Mother. Is this crazy?
Although there were many people who wanted to remonstrate with the emperor, not everyone had the courage of the Lu family and his son.
