Song Shou said, "Of course I know. Not only Lord Lu, but also me, the two Lords Wang, Lord Sheng, and Lord Cai, all of them, rarely go out. This time, it was Ziqiao and the others who asked for help. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to Lord Lu."
"hehe."
Lü Yijian laughed and said, "But I've heard recently that Fan Xiwen's residence is very lively. Ouyang Xiu, Yu Jing, Cai Xiang and others have been gathering there frequently."
Song Shou opened his eyes wide, then said, "Is Lu Gong worried about Fan Xiwen?"
"He probably wouldn't be that stupid."
Lu Yijian shook his head. "But who can say for sure about such things? Even if he didn't reveal the name and background of that person, he might reveal something else. If some news spreads in Bianliang, hehe."
"Something has been spread?"
Song Shou asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"
"Someone told the emperor that Zhao Yuanhao was plotting a rebellion."
Lu Yijian said lightly.
"Zhao Yuanhao is plotting a rebellion? Everyone knows this... Wait a minute..."
Song Shou didn't understand at first, but after thinking about it for a while, he was suddenly stunned and looked at Lu Yijian in shock.
Zhao Jun's affairs were now top secret in the Song Dynasty. They couldn't bring the maids and children sent to the palace out, and now they all lived in the back garden.
Even the three prime ministers and three councilors, including Lü Yijian and Wang Zeng, all lived in seclusion and did not dare to mention Zhao Jun's name.
The power of the Imperial City Administration was indeed subject to some restrictions, but this was Bianliang, the place where the Imperial City Administration had the greatest influence. It was impossible for the emperor not to know how cautious Lu Yijian and his men were.
Only Fan Zhongyan kept holding parties, in groups of three or five, shouting and yelling, as if they were afraid that others would not know that they were having a party in their mansion.
Even if Fan Zhongyan did not reveal anything, once something spread in the city of Bianliang.
For example, the Song emperor already knew that Zhao Yuanhao had rebellious intentions, and someone had told him about this. Even if it didn't cause any trouble in Bianliang, it would probably cause a huge storm in the emperor's heart.
After all, Zhao Yuanhao had long had the intention of rebellion. In fact, many people knew that Zhao Yuanhao once threatened to establish a country in front of Yang Gao, the doctor of the Ministry of Works, and Zhu Yunzhong, the deputy envoy of protocol.
If this matter were to spread among the people, it probably wouldn't cause much of a stir.
Because there are too many true and false news these days, and Zhao Yuanhao's intentions have been known to everyone over the years, there are also rumors among the people that Zhao Yuanhao wants to establish a country.
So in fact, if Zhao Jun had not appeared, this matter would probably have been just a trivial matter.
But the key is that Zhao Jun appeared.
At this critical juncture, the news of Zhao Yuanhao's rebellion suddenly became a hot topic, and it was also pointed out that someone had told the emperor about this matter. What would the emperor think when he heard about it?
Naturally, one would think that Zhao Jun's information had been leaked.
So who leaked it?
Are they the three ministers and three ministers who lived in seclusion and almost never talked or met with others, or are they Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu and others who often got together?
Song Shou was surprised for a moment, but after he came to his senses, he gave a thumbs up.
"Ginger is always spicier with age."
