Chapter 657: Loyalty or Treachery?

"Zhu Ben!"

"The students are here!"

"You're a student?"

"Back to the emperor, the student is exactly!"

"In that case, then I will seal you Fengyilang!"

"Thank Emperor Longen!"

Zhu Ben went down, and Zhao Gou called several people one after another to confer the title, but he didn't ask too much, and directly granted them official positions. Not only Zhao Yougong couldn't understand it, but even the six Shangshu books were a little strange, only Zhao Gou himself knew it. In fact, these people were all self-recommended, and Zhao Gou knew their reputations, and he knew what the character of these people was, so he didn't ask much.

"Qin Hui!"

"The minister is here!"

Qin Yu is one of more than 20 people, and he is also the last person, and he is the object of Zhao Gou's key observation, and he is also an important person in this self-recommendation. For others may not know, only Zhao Gou knows that Qin Hui is a famous traitor in history.

According to historical records, Qin Hui was originally captured with the second emperor of Huiqin, and then returned to the south to be reused, not only as the prime minister, but also as the position of the former prince, one person under ten thousand people, control the government, and was one of the important culprits who killed Yue Fei.

Even though Qin Hui is a traitor in history, he is also a person of true talent and learning. Zhao Gou raised his eyes and saw that his face was yellow and thin, his cheekbones were protruding, his cheeks were sunken, and he had a beard, so he knew that he was in an embarrassing situation.

"You have served as Taixue Xuezheng, and you have served as Zuo Si Ji and Yu Shi Zhongcheng, presumably you also know a lot about the Jin soldiers' southern invasion of the Great Song Dynasty, why don't you talk about what you think?" Zhao Gou said slowly, he wanted to know what Qin Hui thought at this time.

Qin Hui replied without humility or arrogance: "Back to the emperor, Weichen thought that the Jin soldiers invaded the Great Song Dynasty in the south, and they should focus on peace, supplemented by war. Our dynasty was in ruins waiting to be revived, first the two emperors of Huiqin were captured and left, the people were filled with righteous indignation, and the people in the court were panicked. ”

"The emperor ascended the throne in accordance with the mandate of heaven, and later implemented Wang Anshi's change to strengthen the country, and the ministers did not dare to comment on this matter. However, if the Jin soldiers are at war with our Great Song Dynasty, it must be the suffering of the people. If it is a war for many years, it will not only consume national strength, but also consume huge materials, not to mention the loss of labor and money, and the border land of the Great Song Dynasty will be even more war-torning, which will damage the prestige of the emperor and lose the hearts of the people. ”

Zhao Gou then asked: "What should I say if the Jin people let me bow down to the court, pay the annual coin, and pay the compensation for the land cution?" ”

Qin Hui said: "My dynasty is the Celestial Dynasty, the territory of the Great Song Dynasty is vast, and the countries of the Central Plains have been overlords since ancient times. Even if I am worried about internal and external troubles, it is still the Celestial Empire, and it is absolutely impossible to bow down to the Jin people and pay tribute, which will damage the Tianwei of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"The payment of the New Year's coin, this is a necessary condition for negotiation and peace, my Great Song Dynasty can pay the New Year's currency to the Jin Dynasty, but I can't cede the land and pay compensation. The sixteen states of Yanyun were recaptured by the emperor and the soldiers from the Liao people, if the Jin people were ceded, wouldn't it be a concession, and this matter must not be done. ”

"According to what the Jin people demanded, wouldn't my dynasty be a man with his tail between his legs, and how would the people of the world view me as the son of heaven and the officials of our dynasty, wouldn't it be even more unpopular with the people. Therefore, Weichen thought that he could agree to this request by paying the annual currency to ensure the peace of the border between the two countries, but he could not agree to other requirements. ”

"Well said!" Pan Lianggui couldn't help but praise loudly.

Qin Hui's thoughts were somewhat similar to Zhao Gou's, as if he could see through what Zhao Gou was thinking. At the beginning, the envoys of the Jin Dynasty came to take the second emperor of Huiqin as a hostage, and Zhao Gou also hesitated to pay compensation for the request.

Zhao Huan's life and death, Zhao Gou can ignore it, but he has to consider Huizong's life. Because Huizong is his father, he was born as a son of man, so he has to be a little scrupulous. In addition, his mother, Concubine Wei Xian, knew about it, and passed out several times, telling Zhao Gou to rescue the second emperor and return to the dynasty.

Concubine Wei Xian is not the queen, but Zhao Gou's biological mother, so he can't crown Wei as the queen mother. Moreover, Concubine Wei Xian has long looked down on these false names, and she doesn't care about these at all. Therefore, Zhao Gou did not force his mother, and was accompanied by Xing Bingyi and Li Shishi, which made Wei's sadness much less.

Wei was still concerned about the safety of Huizong in his heart, and he was sad all day long. At this time, the envoys of the Jin Dynasty came, and Zhao Gou was a little hesitant. If it weren't for the resolute opposition of others, I was afraid that Zhao Gou would really agree. It's just that the last condition can't be agreed, and the rest is negotiable.

Now what Qin Hui said has won the approval of Zhao Yougong, Liubu Shangshu and others, they all think that Qin Hui is not afraid of life and death, and he is a talent. When Zhao Gou asked this person alone, everyone understood what he had done.

"Is it a loyal servant?"

At this moment, Zhao Gou couldn't tell whether Qin Hui was loyal or treacherous, what history said and what he saw now were completely different things, which made him feel melancholy. According to what Qin Hui just said, he is indeed a rare talent, and if he is used properly, it will benefit the country and the people, and if he is not used properly, it will bring disaster to the country and the people.

If Qin Hui is a loyal minister, then he can use it well; If he has been hiding his inner thoughts, he will definitely personally command the battle with the Jin soldiers in the future, so that the court will be controlled by him alone, but I am afraid that it will be really dangerous at that time.

Zhao thought again and again, and decided to stay in the capital for the time being, so that he could always pay attention to his movements and take precautions as soon as possible. If he is a great traitor, there is no need to worry at that time, if he is really a loyal minister, it will be a good thing.

"I have promoted you to the position of Governor of the People's Republic of China, and you can participate in the resolution of major events in the DPRK and China!"

Qin Hui was overjoyed, pressed the ecstasy in his heart, his face did not change, and replied respectfully: "Thank you Emperor Longen!" Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

Everyone retreated, and Zhao Gou asked the officials to register all these people to consider everyone's political achievements on weekdays. In addition, Zhao Gou ordered that only Qin Hui stay in the capital, and all the others were sent to prefectures and counties to serve, and then transferred to the capital as an official after some achievements.

"Second brother, you sent someone to keep an eye on Qin Hui at all times!"

Zhao Yougong was stunned and said, "Your Majesty, you weren't ...... just now."

"Don't ask too much about this, just do what I say."

Zhao Gou didn't explain, he couldn't say that he was from the next generation, history records that he was a traitor, you must know that now he didn't do anything at all, so he killed him directly, it really doesn't make sense, only to monitor, and then deal with it after discovery.

Zhao Yougong saw that Zhao Gou didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask and followed the instructions. Moreover, Zhao Yougong not only did this, but also sent people into Qin Hui's mansion, and even the people around him were installed, and everything was done without leakage.

It was only at this moment that Zhao Gou understood why Gaozong in history was so fond of Qin Hui, he did have some ability, and he was indeed a talent for governing the country. Now Qin Hui did not show the main battle, he was still the main peace faction, but his remarks were also very appropriate, and he could only know whether it was true or false if he used it first
