Chapter 266: The two speak freely

But to continue to talk about it is nothing more than some high-sounding words, which are not nutritious. Qin Jin suddenly felt disappointed, thinking about it, Gao Xianzhi, as the head of the prime minister, had a deep prejudice against him, how could he open his heart to him and have a deep talk? However, Gao Xianzhi didn't say it, but Qin Jin couldn't help but say that before leaving, he came to Gao Mansion not for a few pleasantries, or to take the initiative to stick to someone's cold ass.

Just when Qin Jin was secretly thinking about how to lead the conversation in the direction he wanted, Gao Xianzhi actually took the initiative to talk about the situation outside the Guan.

"The day before yesterday, Feng Er sent someone to deliver a letter to Chang'an. ”

Feng Changqing Gao Xianzhi. Qin Jin didn't pick up, and quietly waited for Gao Xianzhi's next words. He believed that since Gao Xianzhi took the initiative to mention Feng Changqing, he would never scribble it lightly.

As Qin Jin expected, Gao Xianzhi let out a long sigh and slowly spoke again, but his voice became deeper and lower.

"In the letter, Feng mentioned you two or three times, if he knew what you did in Chang'an, and he didn't know how to feel?"

This sentence seems to be asking rather than asking, and it seems to be responsible. But the meaning couldn't be more obvious, in Gao Xianzhi's consciousness, if Feng Changqing learned that Qin Jin participated in a mutiny against the Son of Heaven in Chang'an, he might have another evaluation. But it's a pity that he doesn't know, so he still regards him as a loyal and courageous man.

At this time, Qin Jin felt that it was necessary to argue a few words, otherwise it would really make people think that he had wolf ambitions.

"Xianggong is not unaware, Yang Cheng and the others framed officials by taking advantage of their disgust to shoot puppets and eliminate dissidents. If the subordinates are tied to death, Qin Jin at this time has become a dry bone in the grave. Speaking of this, Qin Jin sighed, "It's not terrible to become a dry bone in the grave, but the sad thing is to die at the hands of eunuchs and traitors, but you can't do anything about it when you see the mountains and rivers shattered......"

Gao Xianzhi's snort let out a cold snort, obviously disagreeing with Qin Jin's words, but his eyes were also mixed with a little doubt, and there seemed to be a voice in his chest that was about to break out, asking him if he could really only choose to be restrained when it came to the end?

Of course, he is not afraid of death, and of course he can't and doesn't want to watch the rebels rag and toss a mighty Tang to his death. However, when manpower is exhausted, this is not Anxi, and he can no longer raise his arms and call for all the people to obey, so he can only watch the situation deteriorate step by step.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, if he and Qin Jin are in a different position, will he choose to wait and die, or will he try to protect himself and then try for a long-term strategy?

After struggling for a while, Gao Xianzhi couldn't come up with a definite answer after all, maybe only when he was involved in it, would he know which path he would choose.

Qin Jin only sat silently, quietly looking at Gao Xianzhi who was like an old monk in meditation, but all kinds of thoughts were quickly turning in his head.

"Just now you said that the mountains and rivers are broken, is the situation going to be further corrupted according to your judgment?"

After experiencing the torture of two different voices, Gao Xianzhi was also a little confused and confused, and when he cast his gaze at Qin Jin again, the hostility and vigilance in it had faded a lot. It's just that once the eyes blinded by prejudice regained their light, they immediately keenly discovered the crux of the problem.

Based on Gao Xianzhi's judgment of Qin Jin and his people, he is indeed not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why only three or two thousand people dared to confront tens of thousands of rebel iron cavalry in Xin'an, and it would not be possible to explain the shocking burning of Kunshan Mountain in Shaanzhou.

Originally, this young man was extremely optimistic about him and Feng Er, and he was deeply trusted by the Son of Heaven, in their eyes, this was a rising star, and it was also a pillar of talent that could be polished into a supernatural power in more than ten years. However, a power struggle tore all previous ideas to pieces and instantly came to naught.

Expectation turned into disappointment, this is not the saddest thing for Gao Xianzhi, what makes him difficult to let go is that Qin Jin returned to the court class in the most despicable way he wanted, and completely betrayed the prince who had previously assisted.

A person who dares to turn his back on the old master several times without scruples has extraordinary abilities, and it has become a worrying and frightening thing.

The former Han Huoguang was cautious and humble in the Wudi Dynasty, and followed the rules, but once he became an auxiliary minister, he lost the constraints of the Son of Heaven, and even began to abolish the emperor. Then, before Qin Jin is in power, he has already revealed his backbone, and he will really have the work of reinvention in the future, and it is really hard to imagine where the situation will develop.

"The subordinates are by no means alarmist, and now the root cause of the Tang Dynasty is not on the outside but on the inside. ”

Gao Xianzhi was silent after hearing this, and only after a long time did he say word by word: "Oh?

"An Lushan and Shi Siming are just a miscellaneous beard in the north, only with a brave spirit can take advantage of the void, and this from the north to the south and burn, kill and loot, the people of the world do not know how many people are ruined because of this, the people hate these rebels, day and night looking forward to the Tang army can completely wipe them out. It is based on people's hearts in Tang and not in Yan. Moreover, in addition to the imperial court's firm control of Guanzhong, there was also a wealth of Huainan and Huaixi, and a steady stream of grain and grass could supply the counterinsurgency army in Shandong. With these two points, how can An Lushan and Shi Siming last long?"

Gao Xianzhi sneered: "In this case, how can the mountains and rivers be broken and the world is in danger?"

"If the situation were just that simple, it would be fine. It's a pity that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and the hundred-year-old tree of Datang seems to be deeply rooted and luxuriant, but in fact it has been hollowed out by a dry number of snakes and insects. ”

"Tell the truth!"

Gao Xianzhi was obviously not very interested in the Spring and Autumn brushwork in Qin and Jin dialects. Qin Jin coughed dryly, and then picked up the important ones one by one.

"There is a threat of strong enemies on the outside, but the inside is not a monolith, traitors like Bian Lingcheng, Yang Guozhong, and Cheng Yuanzhen. Under the wings of these people, civil officials and military generals tremble all day long, just seeking to protect themselves, and if they are not enough, they will fall into the abyss and be crushed. Just ask, who else can provoke such a heavy beam in the realm pointed by ten thousand arrows?"

Gao Xianzhi was silent, what Qin Jin said was all the truth, fighting for power and profit, either life or death, often the loser is the situation where the whole clan suffers. Therefore, if you want to make a difference externally, you must find a backer.

In the past, he always thought that the backer was the Tang Emperor, and Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong were just traitors who could only play tricks. However, after more than ten years of bloody lessons, he found that the Son of Heaven would not be a backer for anyone at all, including his father, son, and ministers from all over the court. In order to keep the position of the Son of Heaven, anyone is his enemy, and he must always be on guard and on guard.

This realization once made Gao Xianzhi depressed and discouraged, but he was not an ordinary person after all, and finally chose what he had insisted on for many years without hesitation.

That is to say, at this moment, as an important chess piece in the game of the Son of Heaven, he must resist or even defeat Yang Guozhong, Yu Chaoen, and even Bian Lingcheng who is far away in Tongguan within a limited range, and then he can repay his losses and make achievements.

Unexpectedly, Qin Jin's words were not finished.

"The court is fighting more than once, and the root lies in the Son of Heaven!"

A sentence thundered and exploded, even if Gao Xianzhi had been in the sea for a long time, he couldn't help but tremble.

However, he didn't mean to stop Qin Jin, but looked directly at him and waited for his later words. Because what Qin Jin said was right, he said the key to the problem that he had never dared to face and was unwilling to face.

"At present, there are internal and external troubles, the Son of Heaven does not want to cheer up, and still instigates his subordinates to fight and try to protect himself, so short-sightedness is the harm of my Datang!"

Excited, Qin Jin actually said all the words that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time.

Qin Jin was not afraid that Gao Xianzhi would go to the Son of Heaven to tell him, and even if Gao Xianzhi went to tell him, the Son of Heaven might not believe it. What's more, he believed that Gao Xianzhi was not the kind of person who conspired to inform.

"Shut up, do you know that saying this will bring disaster to your whole clan?"

Qin Jin smiled miserably.

"The subordinates are alone, without worry, even if a catastrophe comes, they must talk freely to the prime minister about the depression that has accumulated in his chest for a long time. It is undeniable that today's son has always been talented, but he has failed to discipline himself and is old, and he has long been lacking in mental strength in the current complex situation. If at this time, if there is a trace of public interest, he should make a decision like King Zhao Wuling, such a mother-in-law's love stack is really, really ......"

Speaking of which, even if Qin Jin didn't say it anymore, Gao Xianzhi already knew his true thoughts.

Because Qin Jin's remarks have long been explicit to the point that they can no longer be explicit. Although his example is inappropriate, it does not affect the understanding of others.

In the prime of his life, his son Zhao He only wanted to get rid of those cumbersome government affairs and concentrate on military affairs. However, this is also the root cause of his own trouble, and in the end, under the complicated power struggle, he was tragically starved to death by his brother and his son in the Dune Palace.

The reason why Qin Jin gave this example was that he believed that Li Longji should at least have the decision and public heart of King Wuling of Zhao, although the latter's decision was wrong, but in his bones, he was for the strength of Zhao State, and he would never love power and fame. What is lacking today is precisely such a breath of blood.

"Now looking at the sons of the Son of Heaven are all mediocre and unappointable, although the crown prince Li Heng is indecisive, but after all, he is old and serious, and he also has a promising heart."

This sentence shocked Gao Xianzhi to the point of being beyond comprehension, he never imagined that Qin Jin's ultimate intention was actually here.
