When the two little eunuchs opened the mahogany box, Li Qi almost fainted, and he was right, it was a box full of folds.

Li Qi wiped a cold sweat and said, "Your Majesty, this should be a copy, right?" ”

"Duplicate?"

Song Huizong was stunned for a moment, and scolded with a smile: "It's up to you kid to think about it." ”

Li Qi sighed and said, "I didn't expect the emperor to keep so much." ”

Song Huizong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, these are not yours." ”

Depend on! If you dare to love you, you're scaring me, it's not mine, you show me dry hair. Li Qi was angry and confused in his heart, and said: "Dare to ask the emperor, what do these twists and turns have to do with Weichen?" ”

"Although these are not yours, they have a lot to do with you." Song Huizong sighed heavily, and said with a sad face: "Actually, these twists and turns are all Qin Hui's. ”

Nani? I can't imagine that Qin Hui, the deputy economic envoy, is no worse than me, he is so cute. Li Qi couldn't believe it: "All of them? ”

Song Huizong nodded and sighed: "I now regret that I listened to you and sent Qin Hui to Jiangnan to purge Jiangnan officialdom. ”

Li Qi's heart sank, and he said, "Your Majesty, what's going on?" ”

"In fact, seventy percent of these twists and turns are from Jiangnan, and the remaining thirty percent are from the ministers of the DPRK and China." Song Huizong shook his head and said: "You may not know that Qin Hui killed 37 officials within two months of going down to Jiangnan, arrested and deposed more than 70 officials, and surrounded and suppressed hundreds of grass robbers and robbers. ”

Sweat! So much? It seems that this Qin Hui's trip is really powerful, and this strength is also fierce, but I like it, and this is what I want. Li Qi smiled secretly in his heart, but said on his lips: "Huh? This-what is this Qin Hui doing, isn't this bad for my reputation, how can I kill officials indiscriminately? What a disregard for the law! ”

Song Huizong coughed lightly and said, "It's not indiscriminate killing. ”

Li Qi pretended to be surprised and said, "Isn't it indiscriminate killing? ”

Song Huizong snorted and said: "Some of these people are involved in corruption, some are colluding with grass couges, and some even directly send people to be grass cowards, Qin Hui also sent evidence to me, it is indeed conclusive evidence." ”

It's not a loss to Qin Hui, and it really didn't disappoint me. Li Qi said: "In this case, what does the emperor mean by this?" Weichen is stupid, and he asked the emperor to inform him. ”

Song Huizong said: "Do you really don't know, or do you really don't know?" ”

"I don't know." Li Qi quickly shook his head and said.

Song Huizong said: "Since the founding of the country, I have never killed officials on such a large scale, Qin Hui has set a record in the past two months, the key is that some of them will not die if they are committed according to the law of my Great Song Dynasty, but Qin Hui is not wrong, although this is the power I gave him, but what he did was too desperate, and he picked the officials to kill, so that Jiangnan is panicked, put the cart before the horse, and now many people in the court say that this is arranged by you Li Qi, the purpose is to eradicate dissidents." ”

In fact, it can't help but be absolute, and it is too fast, otherwise Song Huizong would have stopped Qin Hui a long time ago.

"I see." Li Qi nodded, lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, what Qin Hui did was indeed instructed by Wei Chen, and I asked the emperor to forgive Qin Hui, and Wei Chen will bear it for him, and these sins will be borne by Wei Chen." ”

Everyone was stunned, they never expected that Li Qi would directly admit his guilt without any rebuttal.

Song Huizong also stayed for a moment, this was too unlike Li Qi's style, and said, "This- why did you let him do this?" Of course, he will not punish Li Qi for this, otherwise how will the monetary strategy be implemented.

Li Qi said: "Because only in this way can we revitalize Jiangnan as soon as possible, the emperor you know, Weichen has always put the interests of my Great Song Dynasty in the first place, as for those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, although the crime is not to death, but there is also more than enough to die, killing them can give the people an explanation, second, to deter other officials, to take this as a warning, and third, to show the emperor's determination, which is of great benefit to the new law." ”

Song Huizong nodded and said, "I also understand this, but have you ever been considerate of me in doing this?" ”

You've got it reversed, right? Do you still need to be considerate as the emperor? Li Qi was stunned for a moment, glanced left and right, and found that Cai Jing and Gao Yu were all silent, their faces were solemn, and Cai You and the others were smiling at the corners of their mouths, and they felt a little bad in their hearts, and began to become cautious, and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't understand very much. ”

"See for yourself, then."

Song Huizong tilted his head and said.

The two little eunuchs immediately carried the box to Li Qi.

Li Qi picked up a few books casually and looked at them, but the more he read them, the more angry he became, where is this, it is clearly threatening the emperor.

All the twists and turns are all on the literati and scholars, and there is no evidence to excuse those people between the lines, and they don't even bother to find excuses, and they can be summed up in one sentence - since the ancestors, they have not killed scholars.

And their tone was not a consultation, not a pleading, but a hard demand, but it was undeniable that the scholars had completely infiltrated the entire Song court, and there were snobbery in almost every aspect.

In fact, this situation was not uncommon in the Song Dynasty, and the strength of the scholars was already enough to compete with the emperor. For example, when Shenzong failed to use troops in Shaanxi, he issued an order to behead an official. However, Prime Minister Cai did refuse to carry it out, and put pressure on Shenzong in the name of the representative of the entire bureaucratic class, saying, 'Since the ancestors, they have not tried to kill scholars, and the ministers have not been since His Majesty'. Shenzong pondered for a long time, and it was estimated that the struggle would not be greater than Cai Qu and others, so he reluctantly agreed to change it to 'thorny face with far away evil'. But even so, it was opposed, and the subordinate Lang Zhang immediately protested: 'This is not as good as killing'. Shenzong asked why, and the chapter said, "A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated." When Shenzong heard this, he was very angry, and said in a fierce voice, "You can't do anything happy!" And Zhang's answer turned out to be: 'It's better not to do it if you're so happy.' Here we can see the arrogance of the civil servants and the weakness of the imperial power.

Another example is that Zhang Zhongxuan, the governor of Shenzong, deserved to die because he accepted bribes and sat on the law for taking bribes. However, because an official named Li Xifu was previously sentenced to death for accepting bribes, the judge was lenient and exempted from the death penalty and replaced it with a cane and a cane punishment. At this time, when dealing with Zhang Zhongxuan's case, the judge used Li Xifu's case as a reference to exempt Zhang Zhongxuan from the death penalty and replaced him with a cane spine and a black island. This was already an extrajudicial favor at that time, but Su Song, who was serving in the trial court at that time, still felt that it was too heavy, so he strongly argued in front of Shenzong that Zhang Zhongxuan's crime was lighter than Li Xifu's, and asked Shenzong: "The ancients can't punish the doctor, but if they can kill, they will be killed. So the Divine Sect 'is to exempt the rod and the sword, and stop the flow outside the mountain, and then take it as an example'. Anyway, gods are scholars, and ghosts are scholars.

The arrogance and domineering of scholars also reflected the weakness of imperial power on the other hand, and in the face of the scholar class, the emperor of the Song Dynasty has been constantly making concessions. The reason why Li Qi has won many victories in front of him is partly due to external forces, partly because of the people, and another key reason is that there is also a class struggle within the scholar class, and Li Qi also took advantage of this to bring a lot of benefits to some scholar families, so that they can fight among themselves in order to achieve their own goals.

In fact, this box is also a reason why Song Huizong is in a hurry to retreat from the dynasty, because once this matter is taken out and officially discussed, then Song Huizong must make a choice immediately, and it will be really difficult to ride a tiger at that time, so it can be seen that he still values Li Qi a lot, and gave Li Qi a buffer stage, otherwise, even if Li Qi can say the sky, I am afraid it will be difficult to save Qin Hui and Han Shizhong's lives.

However, what is even worse is that Cai Jing, Wu Min, Li Bangyan and others are all from civil officials, and they are all in the scholar class, in this regard, they are naturally towards the scholars, in fact, to put it mildly, they did not speak out to help, and they fell into the ground, which can be regarded as giving Li Qi a lot of face.

Li Qi has read more than ten books, and he is too lazy to read them, anyway, they are all written the same, it is your fault to kill scholars and scholars, this matter is not good for the ancestors, and the violator is not good for the fortune of the country. In fact, Li Qi had long expected that he would change the law and there would be a battle with the scholar sooner or later, but in order to prepare for the change of Jingkang, he had always chosen to delay the army, trying not to confront the scholar head-on, at least he had not torn his face, however, the matter had come to this, he knew that there was no way to avoid it now, he pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, these people are threatening you." ”

"Bold."

Cai Jing immediately shouted angrily and said, "Li Qi, you are talking nonsense. ”

Li Qi knew that Cai Jing was also helping him, reminding him not to make things irreparable, but he didn't think so, and said, "What the master taught him a lesson." I wonder how the emperor plans to deal with this matter now? ”

Song Huizong sighed: "Actually, some of my sons have already ordered Qin Hui to stand by in place, as for how to deal with it." ”

Cai You hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is not enough, now only by immediately removing Qin Hui from his official position and taking him into custody pending trial, can he appease the hearts of the world's scholars, and then dismiss Han Shizhong and investigate it." ”

Song Huizong frowned, glanced at Li Qi, his face was quite helpless, what Cai You said was exactly what he thought.

Li Qi also understood Song Huizong's hardships, but understood that it did not mean obedience, so he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to compromise, then Weichen has nothing to say, and ask the emperor to remove Weichen from his official position and forgive Qin Hui and General Han." However, if the emperor believed Weichen's words, Weichen was sure that within three months, he would let those people bow their heads and admit their mistakes. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

The emperor has to bow his head to the doctor, no matter how capable you are, you can't be as great as the emperor.

How can this kid be so confused! Cai Jing hurriedly said: "Li Qi, what is a compromise?" Who dares to make the emperor compromise? You are a great crime of disrespect, and you will not confess to the emperor soon, and now this matter has not reached the point of no return, as long as you take a step back, there is still a chance to turn around, if you insist on doing so, then you have to put yourself in. ”

The implication is already very obvious, that is, Qin Hui and Han Shizhong are used as scapegoats for Li Qi, because now those scholars have not really attacked Li Qi, after all, there are some people within the scholars who are towards Li Qi, and Cai Jing, Zhu Mian and other henchmen are all helping Li Qi. In fact, Cai Jing thought that Li Qi was just killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, after all, the Song Dynasty treated literati very favorably, who expected that Li Qi would cut the grass and eradicate the roots this time, leaving no room at all, and he didn't understand the twists and turns in this, and killed all the way through. I regret it very much now.

Zhao Huan was also busy when he saw it: "Economic envoy, don't be righteous!" Focus on the big picture. ”

"Thank you for your kindness." Li Qi arched his hand towards them, and immediately saluted Song Huizong and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen is guilty, and please ask the emperor to punish him." ”

Song Huizong clenched his fists, was silent for a moment, slapped the table, and said angrily: "Okay, okay, you guys are forcing me!" ”

"Wechen doesn't dare."

Everyone said in unison.

"It is unreasonable for you people to rely on my grace to do whatever you want." Song Huizong snorted angrily, in fact, he also felt aggrieved!

"Wechen is guilty."

The people saluted again.

Song Huizong snorted, and did not let them be exempted, and said lightly: "Li Qi." ”

"Wechen is here."

"What do you mean by that?"

Li Qi said: "Weichen just thinks that these people are already challenging the emperor's imperial power, and they are not even allowed to kill a corrupt official, if the emperor repeatedly retreats, it will only encourage the arrogance of those people, just ask where the national law is?" Where is the royal authority? In order to repay the emperor's kindness, Weichen is willing to defend the imperial power with his own soldiers, wage war against the scholars, and teach them a cruel lesson. ”

Domineering!

It's so domineering!

In the Song Dynasty, no one dared to speak of waging war against scholars. You must know that except for Song Huizong's father and son, Gao Yu, the rest are from the scholar class.

Almost all of them were stupid.

But at this time, only Song Huizong was sober, the Song Dynasty emphasized literature and light on martial arts, that is, it absorbed the reasons for the fall of the Tang Dynasty, and was afraid of the rebellion of the military generals, it is undeniable that this has indeed achieved obvious results, but it is also because of this, over time, the power of scholars has become more and more huge, and it has begun to encroach on the imperial power, which makes the Song Dynasty emperor also have a headache and a dilemma. Song Huizong also has a deep understanding of this, when he saw those twists and turns, he was angry, this is really too deceitful, you have colluded with the grass to make money and kill people, this can't be killed, so how can you kill? He even felt that it was time to give the scholar some hardship, otherwise the scholar would have to ride on his head and in the future, however, Li Qi's words just resonated in his heart, his eyes flashed, and he said slowly: "Are you sure?" ”

A few simple words, but Cai Jing and others were shocked to sweat.

Li Qi nodded and said: "If you are not sure, Weichen will never dare to talk nonsense, the emperor only needs to promise Weichen one thing." ”

"What?"

"According to the British public opinion, Qin Hui and Han Shizhong will be taken into custody pending trial, and by the way, Weichen will be ordered." Li Qi said calmly.
