Since August, the spearhead of attacks by DPRK and Chinese officials has gradually been directed at Qin Hui's bad debts. Although Qin Hui's explanation did not seem to have any flaws back then, and there were also endorsements from the then prime minister Fan Zongyin and the privy envoy Li Hui, but at this time and at that time, Fan Zongyin and Li Hui were both ancient, and their words were long useless, and the rumors that Qin Hui was a fine work of the Jin people have fermented many times in the past 20 years. And this time, they hope to use this problem to pull Qin Hui down.

The focus of the attack is still to ask Qin Hui to explain clearly what happened back then, and to explain everything clearly, without any ambiguity and uncorroboration. Li Xianzhong, Wang Dagui and others proposed that the emperor should order the establishment of an investigation team dedicated to investigating Qin Hui's actions in the Jin Kingdom, to verify Qin Hui's self-report one by one, and to send personnel to find people who knew the information back then to ask for confessions to be verified.

Li Xianzhong and others believe that Qin Hui is in the important position of prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and he must be innocent and worthy of heaven and earth. In response to the rumors that Qin Hui was meticulously made by the Jin people in the Great Song Dynasty, it is necessary to find out. It is not that what the people say is the truth, whether Qin Xiang is a golden person or not, needs the support of accurate evidence. This time, we need to find out. This is not an attack on Qin Xiang, but a clarification. If Qin Hui is innocent, it will just be able to dispel the rumors of the people. It is a good thing for public and private, for the court and Qin Xiang personally.

I have to say that this time these officials who opposed Qin Hui found a good entry point, and the strategy was also appropriate. They stood on a seemingly neutral position, and did not admit that this was an impeachment and attack on Qin Hui, but said that it was to stop the rumors and clarify the reputation of Qin Xiang. They demanded that Qin be suspended from his post as prime minister until the facts were clarified, as a sign of suspicion. In fact, the purpose of this is to suspend Qin Hui, as for whether it can find out whether Qin Hui is really a fine work of the golden man, it is not important. So many years have passed, and it will inevitably take a long time to find out about this matter. It doesn't matter how long it takes, anyway, before clarifying, Qin Hui can't perform his duties, so it is actually equivalent to impeaching Qin Hui.

In the face of the thoughts and practices of Li Xianzhong, Wang Dagui and others, they naturally couldn't hide Qin Hui's eyes. For more than 20 years, he has visited the prime minister twice, and there are so many people who have opposed him, and he has never seen any kind of means. Qin Hui could see it clearly, this time the action was obviously prepared by the opponent, and Li Xianzhong and the others had the support of others behind them. Such an organized and strategic action has not happened in the past decade or so. He Qin Hui has been the same for more than ten years, and the officials of the DPRK and China are all frightened when they see him, and they dare not openly provoke themselves when they lend them courage. If they dare to do so, they have someone behind them.

However, Qin Hui maintained a cautious attitude, because the other party's impeachment of himself was not a trivial matter. He knew that the reason why he could stand tall was that he was good at calculating and being good at figuring out and catering to his wishes. But a more important reason lies in the emperor's trust, which is the basis of everything. He, Qin Hui, can brave the world's disapproval and become the enemy of the world, and still be able to sit in the position of prime minister because of the emperor's trust in him. If this foundation is lost, there is nothing to talk about.

Therefore, before exerting his strength, he needs to know the emperor's attitude.

Qin Hui gave Zhao Gou a fold in mid-September, which was a voluntary confession requesting the old man to return to his hometown. Qin Hui said in the recital that although he wanted to do his best for the imperial court, he had worked too hard for many years, and he was under great mental pressure, and he was already overwhelmed. He said that his incompetence was so inadequate, that during his reign, there were repeated divisions in the court, and the court's policies were controversial. Now that someone is making a fuss about what happened at the beginning, he is no longer able to deal with these attacks on himself. Qin Hui said that he was already very vague about the events of the year, and now he was asked to recall and retell the events of the year, and it was difficult for him to remember these things accurately. And these will obviously give the impeached officials a handle and say that they are deliberately covering up. Qin Hui said that instead of doing this, he might as well simply comply with everyone's wishes and resign. If the emperor thinks he is guilty, he is willing to accept the punishment for his guilt. If the emperor thinks that he is innocent, he will also resign from the old man, because he is already short of energy just for doing government affairs, and he can no longer cope with the attacks and impeachments of the courtiers.

This letter is very humble and low-key, even a little emotional. Qin Hui's purpose in doing this was actually very simple, he just wanted to know Zhao Gou's attitude. He knew that Zhao Gou would if the emperor really cared about the impeachment of himself this time, he would grant his request to resign. If the emperor dismisses this, he will issue an order to soothe himself. There is no need to inquire at all, just wait for the emperor's reaction, and the attitude will be clear. Of course, this letter is actually a retreat as a strategy, Qin Hui knows that the emperor still needs him very much, and all his actions are done according to the emperor's ideas, and he carries a lot of black pots for the emperor. If he resigns, there will be no one to carry those black cauldrons for the emperor anymore. His twists and turns in the recital are to remind the emperor to understand this.

A few days later, the emperor's decree was issued, and it was a piece of soothing Qin Hui. Qin Hui's heart suddenly fell into his stomach. Qin Hui knew that the emperor couldn't do without him. But at the same time, Qin Hui also realized that the emperor actually had some doubts in his heart, because the emperor did not give himself an order to comfort him at the first time, nor did he issue an order to end this impeachment while comforting himself. That shows that in the emperor's heart, there are still some doubts.

Qin Hui understood this, after all, there were too many strange things about his return to the south back then, and anyone had doubts. Now that the old thing is brought up again, he did not give a convincing explanation, but prevaricated that he couldn't remember, which must have made Zhao Gou very dissatisfied.

However, Qin Hui doesn't care about this, as long as the emperor thinks that he still has the need to survive, it means that the emperor doesn't want to delve into this matter, and he doesn't fully believe in the impeachment of those people. And then, Qin Hui only needs to concentrate on dealing with the impeachment of these people.

Qin Hui's counterattack soon came. At the court meeting on September 16, Tang Si, a cadre of the Qin Party, retired to the imperial court and requested a thorough investigation of Li Xianzhong's allegiance to the puppet Qi and Jin states and Western Xia. Tang Si's reason for retiring is very simple, if you want to check the old bottom, let's check it together. You say that Qin Xiang is a golden man, so your Li Xianzhong's ass is not clean. Back then, you first worked for the Puppet Qi, and then you worked for the enemies of the Great Song Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom and the Western Xia, so what does your behavior mean? Whether you surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty for some purpose, you want Qin Xiang to make it clear, and you have to make it clear.

Li Xianzhong did work for the puppet Qi in his early years. Later, the pseudo-Qi was flown by the Jin people, and Li Xianzhong also briefly served as an official under the account of Wanyan Zongbi, and later turned his face with the Jin people and defected to Western Xia. In the end, it returned to the Song Dynasty in the south. However, Li Xianzhong actually ordered someone to send a letter to the Great Song Dynasty to express his loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty during his service for the Pseudo-Qi, and later repeatedly sent letters to Lin'an to express his intention to return to the south. Later, in Western Xia, he led an army of 40,000 to defect to Wu Jie, and made great contributions. Even the name 'Xianzhong' was given to him by Zhao Gou.

And now, Tang Siwei and others are actually talking about this matter, which is extremely frustrating. What's more, there were Qin party henchmen who called him 'four surnamed house slaves' in the hall, and Li Xianzhong's fiery temper was ignited all of a sudden. In front of Zhao Gou, he flipped Tang Siwei to the ground and punched seven or eight times in a row, almost killing Tang Siwei. But the result of this is obvious, Zhao Gou angrily reprimanded Li Xianzhong for being rude and not knowing self-restraint. Who is Tang Siwei? That is the position of the political affairs hall to participate in politics, but he is the deputy prime minister, and he actually committed murder in the court, which really shouldn't be. Of course, Zhao Gou also thinks that Tang Sihui's impeachment is a bit excessive, Li Xianzhong's loyalty is known to the world, and Tang Sihui's retreat talks about this matter, which seems to be provocative.

After weighing the two, Zhao Gou issued an order to demote Li Xianzhong as the deputy envoy of the Guozhou regiment and let him leave Beijing for self-examination.

Li Xianzhong was caught by someone with a weakness in his character, and with just one blow, he messed up and received his own punishment. It doesn't matter if he is demoted, the officials led by him who are going all out to impeach Qin Hui are dumbfounded, and they don't know what to do.

Of course, Qin Hui refused to give up, and his henchmen successively launched the impeachment of Wang Dagui, Hui Jun, Liu Ji and others. I don't know where they dug up the material, Wang Dagui stopped his wife and remarried when he was young, Liu Jizhong's mother received a few hundred taels of silver from a local wealthy merchant when he was an official in southern Hunan, etc., all these things have been turned out. All the officials involved in the impeachment have a share, and all of them have had their old accounts turned over. As the saying goes, no one is perfect, unless he is a saint, how can he not make mistakes. In fact, many of these mistakes are harmless, and few of them are taken out. However, it was magnified and exaggerated by the hundreds of officials of the DPRK and the central government as some intolerable mistakes.

These mistakes do not need to be investigated, because the evidence is there, and it is immediately verifiable and punishable. So before they could even react, these officials were all beaten guilty. However, they couldn't argue at all, Qin Hui's henchmen said that those things were extremely important, which made them confused.

From mid-September to early October, the DPRK and China were engaged in this kind of collective impeachment and attack every day. A large number of officials have demanded that these officials who have misbehaved themselves be punished first, and they themselves have misbehaved, but they still came to impeach Qin Xiang, which is obviously an attempt. Some people even began to propose to thoroughly investigate the motives of the people to impeach Qin Xiang, whether someone wanted to hand a knife to the Jin people, deliberately wanted to bring down Qin Xiang, and increase troops in the border towns to cause trouble, so that the Jin people could take the opportunity to send troops. In short, if Qin Hui doesn't start, it will be enough, and once it starts, it will be like a storm, so that the other party has no chance to breathe, and he can't argue. It was originally an impeachment against Qin Hui, but later everyone became too busy to protect themselves, and it was impossible to launch a counterattack at all.

This time, Yang Cunzhong, the commander of the front division of the palace, and Zhao Ming, the king of Pu'an County, were not silent, and successively spoke to the emperor, asking the emperor to stop the wanton and exaggerated behavior of these courtiers. Zhao Gou also knew that this was behind Qin Hui's back, so he simply became a peacemaker and demoted some officials involved in the impeachment. It's not a big deal, just dispose of it. These people, who were already worried about being punished very severely, suddenly received this painless punishment, and they all knew to cherish this opportunity. So they went up to the court to receive the punishment, and never mentioned the impeachment of Qin Hui again.

Qin Hui used this kind of late strike, but he would definitely knock the opponent down first, and quickly resolved the impeachment against himself. It's as easy as gently brushing the dust off the table.
