After Qin Hui quelled the impeachment against himself, he quickly knew who the people who supported this group of people behind the scenes. Yang Cunzhong, the commander of the soldiers and horses in front of the palace, is counted as one, although he is not directly involved in this matter, but this person must be secretly supporting and cheering up those officials. This was actually expected by Qin Hui.

After the last time he was attacked, he had made a tentative attack on Yang Cunzhong's selection of the Yue family army as the forbidden army of the palace front division. It's a pity that the emperor approved that incident, and the emperor did not doubt Yang Cunzhong's loyalty, so the attack was in vain. As a result, the relationship between himself and Yang Cunzhong has completely deteriorated. Originally, they still maintained their politeness on the surface, but they were secretly competing with each other. But since that incident, Yang Cunzhong has strode away even when he saw Qin Hui, and even the basic politeness and respect have been lacking.

Therefore, this time, Yang Cunzhong will definitely not stand idly. Perhaps he is the mastermind behind it. In short, Yang Cunzhong will inevitably be involved. However, Zhao Ming, the king of Pu'an County, actually dared to intervene in this matter, which made Qin Hui very angry. Zhao Ying is a person who usually looks like a promise, but in fact, he has great ambitions, and of course Qin Hui knows what he is thinking. Zhao Ying was extremely respectful to himself on the surface, and he had never heard him say anything attacking him. Originally, he still had a good impression of Zhao Hui, but it wasn't until three years ago at a banquet that Zhao Ying said something after he was drunk, and those words reached Qin Hui's ears, so that Qin Hui could see Zhao Hui's true face. What Zhao Ying said was for Yue Fei and others, complained about the peace discussion, and was dissatisfied with himself. This exposes the true thoughts of his heart. From then on, Qin Hui decided that he could not let Zhao Ying get the opportunity to ascend the throne, and decided to support Zhao Zhuo, the king of Enping County, instead.

Although Zhao Zhuo has a bad reputation, a very bad reputation, and often does some inappropriate things, at least he is a person he can control. In the matter of inheriting the throne in the future, Qin Hui certainly cannot be taken lightly. If the king of Pu'an County ascends the throne, it is estimated that he will rehabilitate Yue Fei and them, which means that he must be severely punished. So Zhao Ying must not be allowed to succeed.

Therefore, in terms of his relationship with the king of Pu'an, Qin Hui maintained a superficial respect. Zhao Ying respects him by a foot, and he respects Zhao Ming. From an outsider's point of view, the relationship between Qin Xiang and Zhao Ying seems to be good, and they seem to respect each other, but only the people concerned and those close to them understand that it is just an illusion. One is to hope that Taoguang will be obscure, and not provoke this traitor and cause trouble for himself before his strength grows. The other is to deceive Zhao Ying and paralyze his opponent before mentioning the matter of establishing the crown prince, so that he has no defense against this matter. lest there be one more person who speaks ill of himself in front of the emperor. After all, the emperor is in his prime, and it is not appropriate to mention the establishment of the crown prince for the time being.

But this time, Zhao Ying took the lead in breaking this superficial tacit understanding. Qin Hui learned that during this time, Zhao Ying frequently entered the palace to face the saint, and he was talking about Li Xianzhong and others impeaching him. Although the emperor didn't seem to listen to any of his words, the news that came out made Qin Hui a little frightened. Some of the words that Zhao Ying said to the emperor were very powerful, and the emperor may not turn a deaf ear.

Erchen didn't comment on the right and wrong of this matter, but Erchen was a little surprised by Qin Xiang's appeal in the court. Qin Xiang actually mastered so many secrets of Wang Dagui, Liu Ji, and others, and they were all old things, which had to make people feel a little weird. Although it is said that as the prime minister of the imperial court, he has the right to criticize and investigate the behavior of hundreds of officials, but this gives people the suspicion of blackmailing officials with the privacy of others. Imagine, Qin Xiang has mastered the secrets of hundreds of officials, will he use this to control officials? After the officials are taken to the handle, don't they have any scruples about doing things for the officials? In this way, what is the benefit to the country? Erchen didn't say that Qin Xiang would do that, but this did make Erchen a little worried. ”

These are some of the words that Qin Hui learned that Zhao Ying said in front of Zhao Gou, these words did not seem to be harsh, and they did not directly attack him, but they were like knives and extremely sharp. Qin Hui knew what kind of person Zhao Gou was, and once Zhao Gou believed in something, he would deal with it immediately regardless of right or wrong. If Zhao Gou believed that he was collecting the sore spots of officials behind his back and controlling them, then he would be in big trouble. The words Zhao Ying said were all poisonous arrows shot at his vital point, and they were extremely vicious.

Fortunately, Qin Hui has someone in the palace. After learning the news, Qin Hui immediately made an excerpt, seemingly unintentionally explaining the reason for knowing the bad deeds of Wang Dagui and Liu Jizhong. Qin Hui said that it was learned from the investigation of officials conducted by the Ministry of Officials for the purpose of appointing and promoting officials, and it was in line with the procedures for appointing and dismissing officials in the imperial court. And these things were not deliberately excavated by the officials, but were reported by the people and officials when the investigation was underway. In line with the responsibility of the officials, the officials also spent a lot of manpower to check it, so as not to make false accusations with ulterior motives. Qin Hui also said that he felt that this method was a little inappropriate, and he was afraid of causing psychological pressure on officials, so he planned to abolish this audit method, or send someone to audit it by the emperor instead, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

After the fold was submitted, Zhao Gou made a reply soon after: handle it as usual, have a clear conscience, are not afraid of rumors, and I know Qing.

When Qin Hui saw this reply, his heart was immediately relieved. The emperor means that you follow the rules, don't think about it.

Although the matter has passed, of course Qin Hui can't let go of Zhao Jin, who is openly making trouble. I didn't take the initiative to engage him, but he jumped out instead. Then you can't blame yourself for being unkind. So, Qin Hui launched an action.

……

In Qingyuan, Shi Hao slowly told Fang Zi'an about Qin Hui's recent unusual actions.

"Recently, Qin Hui has met the Queen Mother several times, and every time she enters, the king of Enping County is listed. We suspect that Qin Hui is going to initiate the establishment of the crown prince. Everyone in the world knows that the emperor is extremely filial, obedient to the queen mother, and never disobedient. If Qin Hui and the Queen Mother are discussing the choice of the crown prince, it will be extremely unfavorable to the prince. The Queen Mother has always favored the King of Enping, and the King of Enping has a sweet mouth and will please the Queen Mother. If the matter of establishing a prince is launched at this time, I am afraid that the queen mother will most likely support the king of Enping County. The old thief himself didn't dare to mention the matter of establishing the prince, and estimated that he would let the queen mother mention it to the emperor. That's what we're most worried about right now. ”

"It's not an estimate, I think it's true. Yesterday I saw Zhao Zhuo in the palace, he used to see me timidly and avoid, but yesterday he actually laughed and was not afraid, complacent, and there seemed to be a provocation in his words. A villain's look. I think maybe he got some promise, or he knew that the Queen Mother and Qin Hui both supported him as the crown prince, so he had no scruples about me. Hey, I made a real mistake. Why should I take the initiative? Who taught me to do this? How good Taoguang's strategy was before, at least it would not provoke such a fierce reaction from Qin Hui. Zhao Ying said with a face full of remorse.

Shi Hao's expression was a little ugly, although Zhao Ying didn't name him, he was actually talking about himself. It was from Fang Zi'an's words and deeds that he got the idea of taking the initiative to attack and protect the loyalty of the DPRK with his posture, so he suggested that Zhao Ying play a role this time. Now that Zhao Ying is complaining, his face is really a little unbearable.

Fang Zi'an pondered for a long time and said, "According to what the prince and Master Shi said, this is really possible. The only way Qin Hui can fight the prince is in the matter of establishing the crown prince. But the prince actually doesn't need to worry so much, after all, this matter will have to be faced sooner or later, isn't it? There is also an end to Taoguang's obscurity, how can an elephant hide behind a mouse? Whether the prince wants it or not, the prince has actually been the target of the Qin Party for a long time. That's a lot of stuff. ”

Zhao Ying said: "I understand this truth, but I won't be so hasty." At least in the DPRK and China, we have to have the strength to contend with it. Otherwise, if Qin Hui initiates the proposal to establish the crown prince now, it will be very disadvantageous to me. We don't even have any chance of reversing it. Isn't that bad? ”

Fang Zi'an said: "The prince is a little restless, there are some immature views below, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"To tell you about this is to tell you your views and countermeasures, and you don't need to be taboo when you know everything." Zhao Ying said busily.

Fang Zi'an said: "In my opinion, this matter may not be as Qin Hui wishes. Qin Hui is going to use the mouth of the Queen Mother to propose the establishment of the crown prince, isn't it? It is impossible for him to bring up this matter first, because it is a taboo matter for the emperor. So the question is, will the Queen Mother mention it to the emperor? I don't think so. ”

Zhao Ying said: "How can you see it? The Queen Mother likes the King of Enping County......"

Fang Zi'an shook his head and said: "If you like it, you like it, it is a big deal to establish a prince, and the queen mother will definitely be cautious." Besides, isn't the Queen Mother afraid of touching the emperor's taboo? The Queen Mother has no scruples? I'm afraid not really. ”

Shi Hao said: "That can only be uncertain, what if it really happens?" ”

Fang Zi'an said in a deep voice: "If I'm not mistaken, the emperor should have three in the spring and autumn this year." ”

Zhao Ying said: "What do you say about this? My father is indeed forty-three. ”

Fang Zi'an smiled and said: "Lord, it stands to reason that the emperor should have made a prince a long time ago. There is nothing to delay in the affairs of the country, why did the emperor delay the establishment of the crown prince? It's not because neither the prince nor the king of Enping County were born to the emperor. Why did Qin Hui and the ministers of the court delay the establishment of the crown prince? Don't you want to touch the emperor's taboo? When Prince Yuanyi was still in infancy, he became the crown prince, isn't this enough to explain the problem? The emperor is difficult to let go of his lack of biological heirs. The emperor is only forty-three years old and in the prime of life. Now whoever asks the emperor to appoint a crown prince, isn't that just pointing his nose and scolding the emperor for having no possibility of having children? The emperor himself is actually looking forward to a miracle, if the emperor now has his own biological prince, will the prince and the prince of Enping still have a chance? ”

"You mean, my father will not accede to anyone's request to make a prince unless he has to. Isn't my father unwilling? Zhao Ying said.

Shi Hao stroked his beard and nodded: "It must be so, what Zi'an said is very true." The emperor was unwilling. ”

Fang Zi'an said in a deep voice: "Of course Qin Hui also understands this, so he refuses to touch the mold himself. The Queen Mother would not have said it if she understood this. Even if he said it, the emperor might not agree. And we just need to work harder, follow what the emperor thinks, so that the emperor will definitely reject anyone's proposal to establish a prince, and this matter will have to continue to drag on. ”
