Chapter 660: You can't live if you do your own evil

"Master, did you really decide to help Yu Jinren?"

Qin Hui shouted angrily: "Hmph! Is this something you should be asking? ”

"Damn it!" The butler hurriedly bowed down and said.

"Alright, you go down!" Qin Hui let the housekeeper go down, but the housekeeper took a deep look at him, and then left silently, leaving Qin Hui alone, no one knew what he was thinking, only he knew.

At this time, Qin Hui recalled the list of gifts sent by the Jin people, and was deeply attracted to him. If Qin Hui agrees to cooperate with the Jin people, then he can get ten million taels of gold, and he will have the opportunity to get a minister above ten thousand people under one person, and hold the power of the Great Song Dynasty, which is what he really likes.

The only request of the Jin people was for Qin Hui to frame Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and other generals and withdraw them from the front line to the capital. If one of them dies, he will receive a reward of ten thousand taels. Moreover, the Jin people promised that if they broke through Bianjing, they would not only kill Zhao Gou and others, but also assist Qin Hui to become the ruling minister and be in charge of all government affairs of the Great Song Dynasty, and the emperor was just a puppet.

Qin Hui weighed it and didn't agree immediately, Jin Ren also saw Qin Hui's doubts, and guessed that he was tempted. This matter should not be rushed, and the Jin people followed Qin Hui's wishes and quietly left the Qin Mansion. In addition, the letter promised by the emperor of the Jin Dynasty to Qin Hui was also handed over to him.

The emperor of the Jin Dynasty wrote in the letter that the Jin Dynasty's unification of the world was inevitable, and the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty was still difficult to resist the Jin army. If Qin Hui is willing to help, then he can also get a corresponding reward, and the emperor of the Jin Dynasty spoke out about his difficulties.

Qin Hui was rewarded by Zhao Gou, and he climbed to the sky in one step, and the fish jumped into the dragon gate. Although he was favored by the emperor, the real major events were only known to the Six Books and the Privy Council, and he had no right to intervene, which made it difficult for Qin Hui to know more secrets, and he did not know Zhao Gou's attitude.

If he agreed to the willingness of the Jin people to cooperate, then he would completely betray the Great Song Dynasty, and the charge of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country made him feel palpitations. Zhao Gou's methods, he has also seen over the years. Any official who commits a crime knows the law and violates the law, then Zhao Gou will definitely not be merciful, and he will still wield a butcher's knife when he should kill.

Qin Hui still remembers the embezzlement case a year ago, the river officials made huge profits from it, and filled their own pockets, Zhao Gou sent people with cronies to investigate and secretly visit, and all the officials involved in the case were arrested in less than a month, and even those soldiers did not escape.

The first evil of the corruption case, was sentenced to death by Ling Chi, that case was very implicated, hundreds of local officials were implicated, and Zhao Gou did not think about it, waved a big knife, and killed all these people, those officials who were less corrupt were not sentenced to death, but were exiled thousands of miles to the frontier to resist the Jin soldiers.

There are hundreds of officials, Zhao Gou did not frown, and killed directly without thinking, this decisiveness made all the officials lock their heads and tighten their belts, and those who were thieves were even more panicked, after Zhao Gou ascended the throne, he was completely different from the second emperor of Huiqin, and he did not have any mercy on corrupt officials.

Hundreds of officials were killed at one time, from the prefect's yamen to the soldiers, all of whom were convicted without exception, and that incident made the officials of the court and China worry every day, and they suddenly understood that the former Zhao Gou hated these officials, and he was already like this when he was not on the throne, and he was even more ruthless as an emperor.

In addition, those people are also the result of the joint performance of the local people under the ruthless exploitation and oppression, Zhao Gou took this opportunity to kill the chickens and monkeys, and the people of the world immediately understood that the joint performance was not just talking, it was a real doer.

After Zhao became the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention that the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty was spotless, it was much clearer than the second emperor of Huiqin, and those officials who wanted to be promoted and made rich were all punished as they deserved, and those officials who asked for their lives for the people were promoted, and the world was a peaceful world.

The reason why Qin Hui is much more low-key, and he doesn't dare to blatantly associate with powerful people is because Zhao Gou's methods are too ruthless, and he hates such officials. Qin Hui has been around Zhao Gou for several years, and he has figured out Zhao Gou's thoughts by asking himself, but sometimes he still can't see through what Zhao Gou thinks.

"What a dilemma! ......" Qin Hui sighed, he decided not to agree, and he didn't dare to use his life to win once, if he had money and no life to spend, it would be really sad.

Seeing that Qin Hui had given up the idea of agreeing to the Jin people, the housekeeper didn't say anything, and then disappeared into the night. After a while, Zhao Gou knew everything. That's right, the housekeeper of the Qin Mansion has been following Qin Hui from the left and right, and he is also the person who Zhao Gou has placed beside him, and he always reports Qin Hui's whereabouts, especially the news of contact with foreign enemies.

After Zhao Gou learned the news, he decided to give Qin Hui a chance, and he also added fire to see how Qin Hui acted. So, in the morning of the next day, after the civil and military hundred officials were lined up, he announced in public that Qin Hui was promoted to the right prime minister, ranking among the ranks of first-class officials.

At that moment, Qin Hui was stupid, and looked at Zhao Gou in disbelief, as if in a dream. It wasn't until the minister next to him pushed him that Qin Hui happily thanked him. Zhao Yougong and Liubu Shangshu were very puzzled, and Qin Hui became the right minister, so he was renamed 'Qin Xiang'.

That night, Zhao Yougong asked Zhao Gou why, and Zhao Gou just asked him to wait and see. Moreover, Zhao Gou rewarded Qin Hui and asked Zhao Yougong to send a congratulatory gift, just because Qin Hui was promoted to the prime minister of the court, the civil and military officials congratulated one after another, and he also held a feast in his own house.

"Congratulations to Qin Xiang! Congratulations! Congratulations! ”

"Rejoice! Rejoice! Qin Hui's court clothes have been changed, and the level will know that he is the prime minister at a glance, which makes him walk with his head held high, Zhao Yougong did not attend this banquet, but he also sent congratulatory gifts, and the other six Shangshu also sent congratulatory gifts, and they also congratulated him in person.

Zhao Yougong didn't come, but when the gift arrived, it could be regarded as giving Qin Hui a face. The six Shangshu are high and powerful, but under the control of Qin Hui, the official rank is one level higher than them. The official university crushed people to death, which was even more significant in the Great Song Dynasty, and Qin Hui was also very drunk.

The next day, Jin Ren Xizuo came to the door again to congratulate and send generous gifts, including 100-year-old ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum and other things, as well as 100,000 taels of gold. Qin Hui refused with words, but his eyes were fixed on the golden light, and he wanted to stay, but he didn't dare.

Jin Ren pretended to be a merchant, and he didn't say anything, so he took away 100,000 taels of gold, but left the century-old ginseng and other things to Qin Hui, which was not shirked. Moreover, there are some celebrity calligraphy and paintings, which makes Qin Hui overjoyed.

Since Qin Hui became the prime minister, the six ministries have all been under his jurisdiction, directing the country and being high-spirited, making him even more prosperous. When the power is getting bigger and bigger, Zhao Gou also gives more power and relies on him more, which makes Qin Hui like the emperor's spokesperson, even Zhao Yougong can't be compared, and the limelight is unmatched for a while.

In addition, Zhao Gou asked Zhao Yougong to temporarily hand over the Privy Council to Qin Hui to be in charge, and he and Zhao Yougong went out on patrol in micro-suits, but Gao Zhong also followed left and right, leading more than a dozen guards to follow. To put it simply, Zhao Gou is like handing over the Great Song Dynasty to Qin Hui for management.

After Qin Hui served as the right minister, his power became more and more powerful, so that he gradually lost himself, he began to win people's hearts, and also wanted to tie the leader of the forbidden army, but some people refused, and some people agreed. However, Zhao Gou, Zhao Yougong, Gao Zhong and others are not in Bianjing, and Qin Hui is a well-deserved first person.

"Your Majesty, why are you doing this?" Zhao Yougong was coerced by Zhao Gou to put down the Privy Council and handed it over to Qin Hui against his will, he was very anxious, but he had to obey orders.

Zhao Gou smiled: "Second brother, don't get angry first!" ”

Zhao Yougong said angrily: "How not to be angry? What the hell are you talking about! ”

"Second brother, have you ever heard of the story of 'boiling frogs in warm water'!" Zhao Gou smiled lightly without being annoyed or angry.

"What story? Where have you heard bullshit stories! Zhao Yougong was annoyed, how could he have the heart to listen to any story, he didn't know what Zhao Gou wanted to do at all.

Zhao Gou didn't answer, smiled faintly, told him the story again, and continued: "When a person's desire for power reaches the limit, he will not be satisfied with the status quo, and will take risks to do something unexpected. The reason why he was given so much power and trusted by him was because he was indeed a talented person, and he could handle everything in an orderly manner, which the second brother must not deny! ”

Zhao Yougong snorted coldly, he didn't deny it, in terms of ability, Qin Hui was indeed more powerful than himself, and what Zhao Gou said was not wrong.

"In addition, this is also a test for him, if he still holds his heart and withstands the temptation when he is at the peak of his power, then I will give him a chance to become a real prime minister. If he doesn't keep his heart and do something out of the ordinary, it is self-inflicted and he can't live, and this is just a game, a chance to redeem himself, depending on whether he can grasp it. ”

Zhao Yougong was silent for a moment and said, "You mean this is a bureau specifically aimed at him?" Why? ”

"Intuition!" Zhao Gou said vaguely, he can't say that Qin Hui in history is a traitor, and he is also one of the culprits who killed Yue Fei and others, the real first evil is his own indulgence and incompetence, in the final analysis, it is his own fault.

If Qin Hui can keep his heart and refuse the conditions of the Jin people, then Zhao Gou will definitely entrust him with a heavy task and truly give him the power. If he loses his true heart, he will definitely cooperate with the Jin people, and at that time, he will frame Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others.

Therefore, Zhao Gou gave him a chance, and he also gave himself a chance. If Qin Hui is stubborn and loses his nature and makes a self-destruction of the Great Wall, then his butcher's knife will fall on Qin Hui's neck, that is, he can't live by himself, just like boiling a frog in warm water, little by little to draw out the power desire in his heart, if he is insatiable, the end will be self-inflicted.

Zhao Gou dug a pit for Qin Hui, whether this pit became his grave, or whether he filled it into a flat road by himself, everything was not what Zhao Gou said, but Qin Hui made his own decisions and decided in his own hands.
