0735 A temptation that is hard to refuse
Zhao Pu's attitude was very resolute.
Yang Qi said lightly: "There is nothing impossible, all impossible things are because there are not enough chips." ”
"Humph!"
Zhao Pu snorted coldly and scolded disdainfully: "Clever tongue like a spring...... No matter what you say, the old man will not be in the same league as a person who kills the king, and it is impossible to recognize a rebellious minister and thief who kills the king and kills his uncle. ”
Zhao Pu behaved very hard, quite literati.
However, the literati certainly have a backbone, but this backbone will definitely not appear in Zhao Pu.
If Zhao Pu was really iron-clad, he would have turned into a pile of white bones a long time ago.
What Zhao Puhuai was thinking, Yang Qi knew in his heart.
Zhao Guangyi died, and before the new emperor was established, all the ministers in the world should take Zhao Puma as the leader.
If Zhao Pu behaves like a philistine, he will easily be pulled off the horse by people with ulterior motives.
Yang Qi didn't say anything about it, and he didn't take the old story of Zhao Guangyi's murder of the monarch out to talk to Zhao Pu, he flicked his sleeves and said faintly: "Has Zhao Xiangye made up his mind to live and die with the Great Song Dynasty that was about to fall apart?" ”
Zhao Pu frowned, his face sank, and he said coldly: "What do you mean by this?" As long as we are here, as long as we wait to return to Bianjing and set up a new emperor, with the new emperor in charge, and with our assistance, how can the Great Song Dynasty die? ”
Yang Qi rolled up his sleeves, calmly looked at the hundreds of thousands of Liao army camps outside the city, and said lightly: "How are you going to deal with the hundreds of thousands of Liao troops outside the city?" ”
Zhao Pu's face changed, and he said in horror: "Do you really dare to risk the world's condemnation and let the Liao people enter the customs?" If the Liao people enter the customs in the hands of your Yang Yansi, you will definitely become the most unreadable sinner in history. ”
Zhao Pu's voice was very heavy, and it could be said that the words were as heavy as a thousand pounds.
After Zhao Guangyi died, Zhao Pu dared to ask Yang Qi to help resist the Liao, because he relied on his understanding of Yang Qi and firmly believed that Yang Qi would not watch the Liao people enter the customs.
Although Yang Qi has now become a hegemon in the northwest, in essence, he is still a Han Chinese.
It is impossible for any Han Chinese who cares about the country to watch the Han people being slaughtered under the iron hooves of aliens.
Yang Qi didn't seem to hear Zhao Pu's words, he said to himself: "If when the Liao people go south, nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses from the four northwestern provinces, and more than 200,000 soldiers and horses from the family, go south together, do you think the new emperor you assist can hold the Great Song Dynasty?"
If it is not enough, plus the 300,000 soldiers and horses in the south, from the south up, join in and get a piece of the pie, do you think the army of the various departments north of the Yangtze River, which one can resist them? ”
Zhao Pu's face turned pale, he pointed at Yang Qi tremblingly, and roared: "You instigated Zhao Defang to assassinate His Majesty, the purpose is to disturb the Great Song Dynasty, how about you take a piece of the pie?" ”
Yang Qi shook his head, "I don't do it like that, I will never let my soldiers and horses step into the Great Song Dynasty unless I have to." ”
After a pause, Yang Qi said again: "But if I can't meet my requirements, I can only wave my troops south." ”
Zhao Pu clenched his fists, resisted the urge to fight with Yang Qi, and shouted angrily, "Are you threatening the old man, or even the entire Great Song Dynasty?" ”
Yang Qi glanced at Zhao Pu and nodded, "You can understand it that way." ”
"Even if the old man dies with Da Song Jiangshan, he will never accept the threat of a villain like you."
Zhao Pu roared, stood up, and walked down the city without looking back.
Looking at Zhao Pu's figure who was leaving with a roar, Yang Qi suddenly said loudly: "Old man, you are already old. How many years do you think you can survive in the imperial court? ”
Zhao Pu, who was walking down the city, trembled when he heard this, and his feet were stunned.
Yang Qi looked at Zhao Pu's back and continued: "Old man, you have been chasing fame and fortune all your life, and you should have offended many people. When you lose your power, do you think my brothers will be able to keep the Zhao family's family business? ”
Zhao Pu turned around slowly, gritted his teeth and asked Yang Qi with a blue face, "You want to threaten the old man with the old man's heir?" ”
Yang Qi shook his head and said, "The kid didn't mean that, what the kid just told you was the disadvantage of not establishing Zhao Defang, and the kid hasn't told you the benefits of establishing Zhao Defang." ”
Zhao Pu hesitated for a moment, and finally returned to Yang Qi and sat down, and said disdainfully: "Old man, let's listen to you, what is the benefit of setting up a murderer who kills the king." ”
Yang Qile was happy, after he laughed, he said to Zhao Pu calmly: "Zhao Xiangye, you are in a hurry, you don't want to hear it, why do I have to let you make Zhao Defang the emperor?" ”
Zhao Pu said disdainfully: "With your kid's Pixiu temperament, it will be no good thing to set up Zhao Defang." Don't you want to learn from Cao Mengde and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes? ”
Zhao Pu asked himself and answered, and said: "The old man advises you not to think about it, the Great Song Dynasty is different from the Great Han, and there are not so many princes who listen to your orders." Don't even want to prop up a puppet emperor. ”
Yang Qi smiled dumbly, "Zhao Xiangye, you have wronged the boy, for the Great Song Dynasty, the boy actually doesn't have much to worry about." The reason why Zhao Defang was elected as the emperor was because I didn't want people to stab me in the back. ”
Zhao Pu was stunned for a moment, his brows slowly furrowed, "Just for such a simple thing, you are going to mess up the etiquette of the inheritance of the Great Song Dynasty?" ”
Yang Qi put away the smile on his face and said solemnly, "This is not a trivial matter. At the beginning, His Majesty took advantage of my crusade against the party, and sent Zhang Delin behind his back, leading a group of people, to attack the Datong Mansion under my rule.
Do you know how much damage Zhang Delin's vote has caused to my Datong Mansion?
Tens of thousands of people died tragically, millions of acres of fertile land were burned by him, and hundreds of thousands of people were displaced.
I will never allow this tragedy to happen again under my rule. ”
Zhao Pu looked at Yang Qi in disbelief, and asked suspiciously: "Is it really because of such a trivial matter, you have to push Zhao Defang to the top position?" ”
Yang Qi nodded firmly.
Zhao Pu couldn't understand it: "If it's just because of this matter, you don't need to push Zhao Defang to the throne at all, the old man can promise you on behalf of the future new emperor, as long as the new emperor ascends the throne, he will sign a non-aggression pact with your four northwest prefectures."
You should know very well how difficult it is to push Zhao Defang to the top. And making a non-aggression pact with the new emperor was a trivial matter that could be easily achieved. ”
Yang Qi shook his head, "I prefer to do it once and for all." ”
Zhao Pu glared at Yang Qi angrily and scolded, "Elm head." ”
Yang Qi smiled indifferently: "Boy, let's talk to Zhao Xiangye about the benefits of Zhao Defang's ascension." If Zhao Xiangye agrees to help Zhao Defang ascend to the throne, the kid can guarantee that Zhao Xiangye can get four major benefits as a civil servant. ”
"Phew~"
Zhao Pu spat angrily, "You are a three-year-old naughty boy when you are an old man?" If the old man really recommended Zhao Defang, the man who killed the king, to be the emperor, it would be good if the old man would not be scolded to death. Will there be benefits? ”
"Hahaha...... Then Zhao Xiangye, you are wrong. ”
Yang Qi smiled and looked at Zhao Pu with a smile: "There are indeed four major benefits......
"First, anyone who supports Zhao Defang as emperor will naturally inevitably be added to the rank of a minister from the dragon."
“……”
Zhao Pu pursed his lips and didn't care.
Because no matter who he supports to become emperor, in the end his credit will not be less.
"Second, if Zhao Defang is the emperor, I can guarantee that I will never let the Liao people invade the south."
“……”
Zhao Pu was stunned for a moment, and said in a lost voice: "You want to block the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Liao State alone?" ”
Yang Qi smiled faintly: "That's my business, you don't have to worry about it." ”
Zhao Pu touched a soft nail and glared at Yang Qi viciously.
"Third, I can help you resolve the battle between Wenchen and Jiangmen after the new emperor ascended the throne."
“……”
At this moment, Zhao Pu finally didn't calm down, he stared in shock, "How is this possible?" ”
The civil and military struggles have existed since ancient times, and they are the kind of continuous and have never been broken.
Even Emperor Qin, Han Wu, Tang Taizong and other ancient emperors could not solve this problem.
Can Yang Qi solve this eternal trouble?
Is he more powerful than Emperor Qin, Han Wu and others?
Zhao Pu doesn't think so.
What made Zhao Pu even more shocked was that Yang Qi had already anticipated the civil and military rivalry after the new emperor ascended the throne.
Even Zhao Pu, an old minister of the two dynasties, only expected the future civil and military rivalry when facing Cao Bin after Zhao Guangyi's death.
Unexpectedly, Yang Qi actually looked further than him.
Seeing Zhao Pu's gaffe, Yang Qi said funny: "There is nothing impossible about this...... Now, the generals of the Great Song Dynasty are left with the Cao family. As long as you find a way to solve the Cao family, the remaining so-called Jiangmen are not your playthings?
If you can't fight them, I'm afraid I'll die laughing. ”
Zhao Pu took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and said in a deep voice: "As long as there is no behemoth like the Cao family, the other generals are not to be afraid. It's just that the Cao family is deeply entrenched in the Great Song Dynasty, what can you do to get them out of the ranks? ”
Yang Qi shook his head, "This matter will allow the kid to sell a pass first, and it won't work if you say it." ”
Zhao Pu pursed his lips disdainfully, and muttered, "Trick ...... Xuanxuan"
Yang Qi pondered for a moment, and then said: "This fourth article is more beneficial to you Wenchen, and it is also tailored by me for Zhao Xiangye." ”
Zhao Pu was silent, looking at Yang Qi quietly, waiting for him to say the fourth.
Zhao Pu is a person whose interests are paramount, and he has to admit that the first three conditions are enough to make him tempted.
However, it is not enough.
He felt that it was a little worse.
He couldn't say what it was.
It's just a simple feeling.
"Fourth, the emperor and the scholars share the world, and the punishment is not ...... doctors"
“……”
"Oh~"
Zhao Pu jumped up like a monkey in the sky, his old eyes were like copper bells, and his face was incredulous.
"You...... You're lying to the old man......"
Zhao Pu didn't believe his ears a little, he even wondered if he was old, how could he hear such conditions.
Whether it is 'the emperor and the scholars share the world' or 'the doctor cannot be punished', this is the ultimate goal pursued by the ministers all their lives.
Although during the reign of Zhao Guangyi, he attached great importance to Wenchen and repeatedly promoted Wenchen, and the status of Wenchen rose steadily.
However, Wenchen has not yet reached the ultimate goal of 'the emperor and the scholars share the world'.
The scholars who dared to share the world with Zhao Guangyi were basically cold.
Not to mention the fact that he can't be punished by a doctor.
Zhao Guangyi killed civil officials, but he was never soft.
The Manchu Dynasty Wenchen, so many smart people, who have struggled for decades and can't achieve this ultimate goal, Yang Qi can do it with one mouth.
At the first time, Zhao Pu had a feeling that he had been deceived.
Yang Qizheng said: "The kid takes the head as a guarantee." ”
Zhao Pu's eyes kept flickering, and he didn't know what he was thinking again, so he asked in a low voice without a trace: "Zhao Defang will agree?" ”
Yang Qi raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a meaningful smile.
Obviously, Zhao Pu was a little moved.
Yang Qi also knew in his heart that when this kind of condition was thrown, it was impossible for Zhao Pu not to be moved.
'The emperor and the scholars share the world. ’
That is equivalent to that the country belongs to the Zhao family, and it is also a scholar's.
As the head of the scholars, the subordinate Zhongshu Province Pingzhangshi, which is commonly known as the prime minister, is equivalent to a hidden emperor.
And even in many cases, he had more power than the emperor.
The taste of being in charge of the world, it is difficult for Zhao Pu to refuse.
It is more difficult for the group of scholars to refuse.
And the article of 'not punishing doctors', it is even more difficult for the scholars and doctors to refuse.
The scholars and doctors controlled ninety percent of the yamen in the imperial court.
Most of the bureaucracy throughout the Great Song Dynasty was run by scholars.
Once the emperor dares to throw out this article, the scholars and doctors will definitely try all kinds of ways to make this matter a permanent example.
And they will use the power in their hands to strictly enforce this authority.
This is far stronger than the useless Danshu iron scroll in Jiangmen's hand.
If you really can't punish the doctors, then the doctors can no longer be useless, and they can do whatever they want.
Whatever they want to do, they can take it out and give it a try.
Those who have become officials have been promoted to knighthood, and if they don't succeed, they will be demoted, or resigned.
As long as the friendship is in place, you can recover in minutes, and you can return to the court to continue the waves.
Won't die anyway.
As soon as these two rules came out, the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty really became a paradise for scholars and doctors.
Zhao Pu wanted to reject Yang Qi sternly, but he found that he couldn't say anything if he refused.
Because he is a greedy person himself, it is inevitable that people will grab the pigtails and cause trouble to his family.
But if there are these two rules, Zhao Pu will be sure that his Zhao family will be like an iron bucket, and at least three generations will not decline.
And even if everything happens, it will not die, let alone harm the family.
No wonder Yang Qi said that this article was tailor-made for him before.
This is not tailor-made for him alone, it is simply tailor-made for all the scholars and doctors of the Great Song Dynasty.
If he refused, Zhao Pu couldn't say anything, but Zhao Pu couldn't do what he nodded to.
In the end, Zhao Pu could only sigh and said with a complicated expression: "This matter ...... The old man can't make a decision alone...... The old man is going back to discuss it with the others......"
