November is fast approaching, and the weather has entered the middle of winter. Although Lin'an is located in the south of the Yangtze River, the time of winter is more than a month later than that of the north, but if you talk about the cold of winter, it also has its own unbearable points.

The cold in the north is direct and fierce, the north wind is like a knife, and the cold is like a sword, which is not an exaggeration. The cold is like a sharp blade that slashes directly into the flesh and blood of a person, causing you to shatter into pieces. The cold weather in the south is a different story, and the cold weather in the south can be like cutting small holes in your body with a razor blade and blowing the cold air into your bones. It was a torture, a feeling that made you feel cold to the heart with nowhere to escape. No matter where you are, that cold is everywhere.

After Lin'an City entered mid-October, the weather turned cold sharply. The whole city began to be filled with smoke and dust, and every household began to burn wood to keep warm, whether it was sunny or cloudy, the sky above the city was gray. Outside the Qingtai Gate at the East Gate, thousands of vehicles carry high stacks of firewood into the city every day. As the local folk song of Lin'an says, 'Chai Dan'er outside the Qingtai Gate', this is exactly the case at this moment. It is not surprising that millions of people in the city have to consume firewood at the end of the day to heat their lives.

Fang Zi'an has been a lot more idle recently. Since moving back to his home, Fang Zi'an has lived at home and rarely goes out. It's not because the weather is too cold, but Fang Zi'an himself feels that he needs to calm down and sort out his thoughts, there have been too many things in the recent period, too many things have been done, and there have been some unexpected situations, Fang Zi'an thinks that he may need to sort out some things, sort out his thoughts, and make his heart not so impetuous.

On the morning of the seventh day of November, when Fang Zi'an was basking in the sun and reading under the corridor, Lao Huang sent Qin Xiqing's letter. The letter asked Fang Zi'an to rush to Qingyuan immediately, and the prince and Shi Hao were waiting to see him in Qingyuan.

Fang Zi'an hurriedly went to the Qing Garden, and arrived at Qingyuan in the middle of the hour. When I came to the hall of the back house, I saw Zhao Ying and Shi Hao sitting in the hall drinking tea, and Qin Xiqing was also sitting aside.

"Zi'an is here." Qin Xiqing saw Fang Zi'an hurriedly getting up and welcoming him to the door, Zhao Ying sat still, but Shi Hao stood up with a smile.

"I've seen the prince and I've seen Master Shi." Fang Zi'an hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

Shi Hao smiled and saluted: "Zi'an, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are a little more energetic." ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "Thank you, Lord Shi, Lord Shi has reduced a little." ”

Shi Hao smiled and said, "Yes, Ning Yue also said that I lost weight, and I don't know it myself." Maybe I'm too busy this time. ”

Fang Zi'an nodded and said, "Master Shi should take care of his body and rest more." The body is the capital. ”

Zhao Ying said in a deep voice in the rear: "Master Shi wants to give advice to this king, and he works very hard, how can he be as leisurely as you." ”

Fang Zi'an was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "What I said is that those who can work harder are also the truth." ”

Zhao Ying waved his hand and said, "Sit down, no one is watching you when you come, right?" ”

Fang Zi'an said: "Don't worry, I went around a few circles, and I came in after making sure that no one was watching." ”

Zhao Ying nodded and said, "You are now making a feud with Qin Tan, I am afraid that there will be his people behind you." Let's meet in Qingyuan, we have to be extremely careful. ”

Fang Zi'an said: "I understand." ”

Fang Zi'an sat down, Qin Xiqing made hot tea and brought it, Fang Zi'an was just about to thank him, then he heard Zhao Ying say: "Zi'an, I have something to tell you when I call you here today." Do you know what has happened in the court recently? ”

Fang Zi'an shook his head blankly and said, "What happened in the imperial court?" How do I know? ”

Zhao Ying said: "I guess you don't know, Mr. Shi will talk to him briefly." ”

Shi Hao responded, turned to Fang Zi'an, and briefly told the recent events in the court against Qin Hui and Qin Hui's counterattack, and Li Xianzhong and other cadres found fault and deprecated them.

Fang Zi'an was very surprised after hearing the whole thing, and his brows furrowed.

"This matter has now subsided, and all the officials involved in the impeachment have been dealt with by Qin Hui, but no one has died. But Qin Hui's arrogance has grown a little longer, and there are fewer than a dozen people in the court who oppose him. Hey, it's getting a little bad right now. Zi'an, what do you think about this matter? Shi Hao finally said.

Fang Zi'an smiled bitterly: "Master Shi, I'm afraid it's meaningless for you to ask me these things. It doesn't matter what I think. ”

Zhao Ying frowned and said, "If you say it, you can say that this king and Mr. Shi originally came to talk to Xiqing about this." Later, Mr. Shi and Xiqing both said to listen to your thoughts, so they called you here. They all said that you can see things more clearly, and this king also wants to hear your high opinions. ”

Fang Zi'an seemed to be a little anxious when he heard Zhao Jin's tone, and his heart moved.

"Since the prince has an order, he will obey the order. This thing...... How so? Li Xianzhong's gang is too sloppy, it can be described as stupid. It's unbelievable. Fang Zi'an said.

Zhao Ying and Shi Hao both looked at Fang Zi'an in a daze, and Qin Xiqing hurriedly reminded softly: "Zi'an, don't talk like that." Master Li is an important minister in the DPRK and a famous general of the anti-Jin Dynasty. The rest of the adults are also loyal and good......"

"A loyal minister can't be brainless." Fang Zi'an spread his hands and said: "If you want to impeach Qin Hui, you don't have enough evidence to prepare, so you dare to impeach?" Qin Hui has been in the court for so many years, was he impeached casually? If there is no conclusive evidence to provoke easily, isn't that a clear target for others? That Li Xianzhong is even more funny, if he wants to impeach Qin Hui, he should know what kind of person Qin Hui is, he was bitten back and made a fuss about his previous experience, and he couldn't bear the sentence 'four family slaves', and he actually took the initiative to resign, what is this? Sell teammates? It's ridiculous. ”

Zhao Ying shouted: "Fang Zi'an, don't talk nonsense. How can Li Xianzhong be humiliated at will? Pay attention to your words. ”

Shi Hao also said: "Zi'an, speak well." ”

Fang Zi'an nodded and said, "Okay, okay." I mean, if you want to impeach Qin Hui for returning to the south back then, you have to come up with some ironclad evidence. There is no new evidence, so what is there to say? If the emperor thought that Qin Hui was a fine work of the Jin people, he would have cut off his head when he returned south, and he would have waited until today? Back then, it was because of insufficient evidence that Qin Hui had what he is today, and now you want to bring up the old things again, how can you come up with some new ideas. ”

Shi Hao frowned and said: "That's right, this impeachment seems to be an old score, and there is no new evidence." However, there is really no ironclad evidence. And how to get it? ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "If you don't have it, you have to have it, if you don't have it, you can fake it." ”

"Fake? What nonsense are you talking about? Zhao Ying shouted.

Fang Zi'an said: "Lord Wang, I'm not talking nonsense. Since they don't have any new evidence in their hands, they can only fabricate it. For example, the letter of persuasion written by Qin Hui didn't mean that it was lost? It's completely possible to find someone to forge one, just say that you found the person in question back then, and found the letter. You can write more words on the letter to slander the Great Song Dynasty and slander the emperor, you have to muddy the water. You can only fish in troubled waters, don't you? Qin Hui must deny it, so let him check, what else can he find out? This side is determined, Qin Hui can only be busy proving his innocence, how can he free up his hands to fight back? Even if you can't bring him down, you'll have to splash him with dirty water. Such a dry impeachment? It's all old talk, Qin Hui doesn't even need to argue, what is this? That's too sloppy. These people are too honest, no wonder they were all disposed of by Qin Hui, it's so funny. ”

Zhao Ying and Shi Hao looked at each other in astonishment, and they both saw a trace of surprise in each other's eyes. They didn't seem to expect Fang Zi'an to say such a thing at all. But the surprise was not to blame, but rather a little abrupt.

"Zi'an, aren't you knowing the law and breaking the law? How could those loyal ministers do things that fabricate the facts? That is contrary to their principles of standing and the laws of the court, and it is not the work of a righteous man and a gentleman. Shi Hao said slowly.

"A righteous gentleman?" Fang Zi'an smiled and said: "Master Shi, Shu Zi'an is presumptuous, I only ask you, is Qin Hui a righteous gentleman?" ”

Shi Hao said: "Obviously not. ”

"Isn't that the end, Qin Hui is a treacherous and sinister villain, what kind of morality do you talk to this kind of person, and what principles do you adhere to? The tiger eats people, and you still can't reason with it? How can you slaughter it, and how it comes. Dig pits, set traps, make rope lases, cut with knives, stab with guns, burn with fire, smash with stones, and even pick with your hands and bite with your teeth. In short, how can you slaughter this man-eating tiger, how can it come, and what principles do you talk about? It is because those so-called loyal ministers cherish their feathers too much that Qin Hui is today. In the past, those loyal ministers were killed so much by Qin Hui, and many of them were military generals with tens of millions of soldiers, but they were slaughtered by Qin Hui, an old thief, which is really incomprehensible. Even if he commits a great crime, he has to get rid of this traitor. What is a loyal servant? Loyal ministers do nothing, let traitors run rampant, and finally take their lives? The greatest loyalty is to spare oneself and dare to eliminate harm for the country, even if he is beheaded by the court in the end, he must remove the scourge, which is the greatest loyalty. Fang Zi'an said in a deep voice.

All three in the audience were stunned and speechless.

Shi Hao said slowly: "What Zi'an said is not unreasonable, but it is also too radical. According to what you think, wouldn't everyone be able to act in the name of great loyalty in disregard of the laws of the court? Isn't that a mess? ”

Fang Zi'an also realized that he had said too much, and hit a boatload of people with one shot, and he took it for granted. The reality is not that simple.

"I mean, you don't have to talk to him about morality when dealing with Qin Hui. To deal with scoundrels, you have to use the methods of scoundrels. He can fabricate evidence and charges to kill others, and others can do the same. That's the way to deal with him. You tell him the rules, but he doesn't tell you the rules, so how can you fight? Fang Zi'an said.

Shi Hao nodded and said, "We are greatly inspired by your words. This time they didn't seem to be well prepared. But now that this is the case, there is no point in praising it. Now that Qin Hui is making a big noise, the situation is a little bad. ”

Fang Zi'an glanced at Zhao Ying and said softly, "Lord Wang and Master Shi don't want to tell me that you are involved in this matter. ”

Zhao Ying said in a deep voice: "We participated, I spoke for Li Xianzhong and them in front of my father and the emperor, and reduced their punishment." ”

Fang Zi'an looked at Zhao Ying in a daze and said, "Lord Wang, aren't you making trouble for yourself?" If Qin Hui knew about this, he was afraid that he would immediately target you. I guess he's going to find trouble with the prince. ”

Shi Hao sighed beside him: "Zi'an, you are really right, Qin Hui is indeed starting to look for trouble." ”
