Volume 1 Wind and Rain into Lin'an Chapter 66 Old Cases

Fang Zi'an was very surprised, Shi Hao's words were really to the point, he was a sober person, and what he said was completely correct. The most important thing in the Great Song Dynasty is the literati, who can write poems and lyrics on the street, but there are very few people who can really govern the country. So much so that people like Qin Hui can control the government and can do anything at will, and the government officials tend to be inflammatory, which shows that in fact, the degenerate, incompetent and shameless class of the Great Song Dynasty doctors is already a kind of atmosphere.

What Master Shi said was extremely true, and Zi'an thought so. Zi'an has never been proud of being able to write a few poems. Zi'an is not such a shallow person. Fang Zi'an said in a deep voice.

Shi Hao turned to look at Fang Zi'an and said, "Zi'an, I have a few questions I want to discuss with you. I want you to tell the truth, not perfunctory. You probably don't know me yet. I hate hypocrites who speak against my will. Even if the point of view is biased, as long as it is sincere, I will not be surprised. After all, knowledge and hypocrisy are two different things. ”

Fang Zi'an looked solemn and nodded: "Although Master Shi asks, he knows everything and says everything. ”

Shi Hao nodded, and the fingers on the table tapped lightly on the table. The Eight Immortals table made a monotonous and boring clicking sound. Suddenly, Shi Hao stopped tapping and asked in a deep voice, "Zi'an thinks that Yue Fei died in whose hands?" I mean, everyone says that Yue Fei was framed and killed by Qin Hui and killed by traitors. What do you think. ”

Fang Zi'an was taken aback, Shi Hao didn't drag his feet at all, and asked such a sharp question.

"This question...... It seems too sharp and sensitive. In the next small people, you can't comment on this matter nonsense. The views may be biased, or there may be big rebellious remarks, and it may be inconvenient to comment. Fang Zi'an said.

Shi Hao frowned and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Fang Zi'an hurriedly said: "What does it mean...... The discussion of this case may involve the current emperor. I don't know how thick the sky is, if there is any inappropriate rhetoric, if it spreads, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to Master Shi. ”

Shi Hao smiled and said, "You can rest assured." It's just a private conversation between you and me, and it won't get out. Do you think that I, Shi Hao, am a despicable villain who lures you into making inappropriate remarks and then spreads them to your disadvantage? ”

Fang Zi'an waved his hand and smiled: "No, no, no, there is no such intention." ”

"Then it will be as you say, and you will know everything and say everything." Shi Hao said in a deep voice.

Fang Zi'an sighed, gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay, I'll be afraid to talk nonsense." Regarding the death of Marshal Yue, there are many opinions among the people. Most of them say that the blame is attributed to the hands of the treacherous minister Qin Hui. It is said that Qin Hui is the culprit who killed Marshal Yue. Every time people in the world mention this case, they all scold each other for killing each other and harming Zhongliang. This has become the consensus of the vast majority of people. ”

Shi Hao nodded slightly: "Yes, isn't it?" ”

Fang Zi'an said in a deep voice: "I also think that the treacherous minister Qin Hui must hate Marshal Yue to the core. The reason is simple, there is no room for reconciliation between the main battle and the main peace. The day Marshal Yue recovered the Central Plains was the time when the traitor Qin Hui was beheaded. Therefore, Qin Hui must want to get rid of it as soon as possible. The people of the world attributed Marshal Yue's death to Qin Hui's body, but he did not wronged this old thief. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the mastermind. However, I'm afraid it's not that simple. Although the old thief Qin Hui is in a high position, does he really dare to kill Marshal Yue? Marshal Yue is the god of the army in my Great Song Dynasty, and his reputation is high and everyone admires him. Although Qin Hui is the prime minister, does he really dare to kill a figure like Marshal Yue without any scruples? Does he have such guts? Aren't you afraid that you will offend the wrath of the people, provoke the people of the world to attack him, and break his body into thousands of pieces? The most important thing is, will the emperor allow him to cover the sky with one hand and allow him to do anything wrong? Although his power is high, can he be higher than the emperor? ”

Shi Hao's eyes were blazing, he glared at Fang Zi'an, and said in a deep voice: "Then what do you want to say?" ”

Fang Zi'an said in a deep voice: "The case in the world will be decided in Dali, discussed in detail in the Criminal Department, and then in the middle of the book, and finally decided by the master." Marshal Yue, an important and important minister of the DPRK and the Central Committee, will be extremely cautious in deciding on his crimes, and there must be no negligence in the procedure. In other words, even if Qin Hui and others hate Marshal Yue to the core and want to get rid of him quickly, the case still needs to be 'decided by the master' in the end. To kill Marshal Yue, what is ultimately needed is the emperor's approval. Qin Hui has 10,000 hearts that want to kill Marshal Yue, but if the emperor can't get through there, it will be in vain. Instead, you will end up eating yourself. Marshal Yue was finally killed, what does that mean? It shows that it is not only Qin Hui and his henchmen who want to kill Marshal Yue, but in the end it is the emperor's intention. If you ask me who is the culprit behind the death of Marshal Yue? I am not afraid to say the words of rebellion, it is precisely because the current saint wants to kill Marshal Yue, Qin Hui is of course one of the culprits, but the decision is in the hands of the saint. ”

If Fang Zi'an's words were said in the market, I am afraid that he would immediately blow up. His words seem to not only excuse Qin Hui's old thief, but also target the current official family, what a big rebellion, it is still light to be killed on the street, and it is not an exaggeration to punish the nine clans. However, Shi Hao in front of him heard such words, but he was as calm as a stone.

"You mean that the emperor wants to kill Yue Fei, but it's just by Qin Hui's hand, yes or no?" Shi Hao said in a deep voice.

Fang Zi'an nodded slightly and said, "I'm afraid that's exactly the case." ”

"Then, why did the emperor kill loyal ministers and good generals? Is the Holy One a faint king today? Doesn't he know that with Yue Fei here, the restoration of the Central Plains, the hope of the Great Song Dynasty? The Yuejia army won a hundred battles, and the Jin people were terrified. In the eleventh year of Shaoxing, Yue's army reached Zhuxian Town and almost recovered Bianliang. Why did the emperor destroy the Great Wall and cut off his arms? Shi Hao asked again.

Fang Zi'an said in a deep voice: "My Great Song Dynasty Taizu established the ancestral motto of emphasizing literature over martial arts, and the reason is naturally self-evident. It is because Taizu started as a martial artist, and the yellow robe has won the world. In order to avoid the same thing from happening again, it is natural to avoid the military generals from sitting big. Therefore, the policy of emphasizing literature over military force was decided, and a complete set of court structure was designed to decentralize power, in order to prevent microaggressions and ensure the stability of the country. Therefore, it is impossible for today's officials to have no worries about martial artists sitting on the throne. The better the Yue family's army is at fighting, the more invincible Marshal Yue is, and I'm afraid that the more concerns in this regard will be. The Yue family's army was undefeated in a hundred battles and had brilliant achievements, but they didn't know that every victory actually made them even more fearful. When the situation is chaotic, it is natural that they will not think about how to curb the expansion of the military attachΓ©'s power, because they need to fight to the death with the Jin. Once the situation is stabilized, it is inevitable to rectify the military attachΓ©s, seize their military power, and ensure that the imperial court is not restrained by the military and does not leave hidden dangers. I think this may be one of the motives for today's officials to kill Marshal Yue. ”

Shi Hao nodded slowly, he originally thought that Fang Zi'an would state the emperor's motive for killing Yue Fei on the grounds that the emperor was worried that Yue Fei would eventually welcome back the second saint and threaten his position as the emperor shouted, as the officials and people of insight had privately guessed. But Fang Zi'an explained all this from a more fundamental perspective. Such a statement is actually more convincing. The founding of the Great Song Dynasty was based on the seizure of power by warriors, so later generations tried their best to avoid such a situation. The first thing Taizu did after conquering the country was to 'release the military power with a glass of wine' and take back the military power in the hands of the generals. Every subsequent generation of officials will not allow martial artists to sit big, which is the most sensitive thing in the Great Song Dynasty.

Yue Fei's strength and prestige had indeed reached a point where people had to worry about it back then. It is indeed not impossible for the emperor to have murderous intentions.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The emperor had suspicions and worries, and then Qin Hui and others added fuel to the fire, slandering and attacking. Then come up with some false evidence of Zhang Tong's rebellion to frame him. Under these circumstances, it is not surprising that the emperor decided to kill Marshal Yue in order to secure the throne. There are, of course, some other reasons. For example, I heard that Marshal Yue was upright and upright, and he made the emperor unhappy many times. Marshal Yue once held high the banner of 'welcoming back the two saints', and I am afraid that these will have an impact on the emperor's psychology. Marshal Yue is not good at beauty, does not love money, and has no desires, which makes some people even more afraid and worried. A person who has nothing to ask for money and beautiful women will be taken for granted that there must be other plans. In short, Marshal Yue's death is an unjust case for the ages, which makes people angry and desperate. But it has to be said that this is the result of various situations. Qin Hui's old thief is unforgivable, and Marshal Yue's suspicion and unhappiness caused by the emperor are also another reason. The death of Marshal Yue, a loyal minister and good general who has been rare for eternity, is a huge loss to my Great Song Dynasty, and Zhongxing's thoughts have come to naught, making people sigh and be difficult to let go. Without someone like Marshal Yue to lead the army, I'm afraid that the Great Song Dynasty will never have any hope of recovering the rivers and mountains. However, today's officials are afraid that they are not thinking about recovering the rivers and mountains at all. Fang Zi'an sighed and shook his head, looking very depressed.

Shi Hao listened quietly, looked at Fang Zi'an and said slowly: "Zi'an, please allow me to take back my previous words, you are not only talented, but also insightful." Although your opinion may not be the truth, it is not easy for you to think about this matter to such an extent at your age. Now I can rest assured, the prince is fortunate to meet someone like you, I think my Da Song will have one more good appearance in the future. ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "Master Shi doesn't want to say that, I talk nonsense, and Master Shi is already thankful if he doesn't laugh." These thoughts are a bit rebellious, but it is rare that Master Shi did not reprimand him, which makes him very grateful. ”

Shi Hao said: "Black is black, white is white, so why hide it." I also accused him in front of the emperor. However, I must explain to you that in my opinion, the current emperor is still a holy king. I have to say that the emperor has made great efforts and courage to have today's situation in the Great Song Dynasty and to be able to renew the national throne after the Jingkang national disaster. If it weren't for the emperor's efforts to turn the tide, my Great Song might have perished. I think this can also explain why the emperor prefers to negotiate peace with the Jin people in exchange for peace in the world. He wanted to keep the hard-won situation of the Great Song Dynasty, and he refused to fight to the death, and he was unwilling to fight to break the net. The emperor has the emperor's worries, and it is difficult for the ministers and ordinary people to understand. Qin Hui is good at catering to the emperor's heart, and he is willing to bear the infamy for the emperor, I think this is why he can tolerate Qin Hui's actions. ”
