In the second year of Jing'an, the long-disputed matter of the southern army's defense finally had a general idea. Liu Guangguo's Shenwu Left Army is still stationed in Lianghuai; Zhe's army left Jiangxi and went north to station in the Central Plains, and Zhe Yanwen was entrusted with the post of staying in Tokyo and dismissed the Xuanfu Division on Jiangnan West Road; Han Shiyue Fei and the second general were separated, and Han Shizhong's first army was stationed in Luoyang, but he did not leave Xijing to stay, but only to appease Jingxi. Yue Fei's first army was stationed in Qizhou, and he served as the pacification envoy of Jingdong Jingluo, and the two generals were respectively responsible for the defense of Henan Prefecture and Shandong, and the original Jinghu Xuanfu Department was immediately abolished.

Coincidentally, because of the changes in the war situation between Song and Jin, Jiangnan was no longer threatened by the Jin army. There is no need for the existence of the two Zhejiang Xuanfu Divisions, so they are dismissed, and the Shenwu Chinese army is under the control of the front division of the palace, with Zhao Ding as the commander of the front division of the palace, and Xu Sheng is the deputy. Zhao Ding immediately retired on the grounds of old age, and the imperial court approved and ordered Xu Sheng, the deputy marshal of the former division of the palace, to temporarily act as the palace marshal.

At this point, the original Jinghu, Jiangxi, Liangzhejiang, and Huainan four major Xuanfu Divisions were dismissed, and only Liu Guangguo's Huainan Xuanfu Division remained. Once the Xuanfu Division was dismissed, the corresponding authority was naturally removed. In the past, with the exception of the two Zhejiang Xuanfu Divisions, all Xuanfu Divisions had the right to "act cheaply" in response to the rapidly changing battlefield situation. Now that there is no war, there is no need to retain this power.

It is worth mentioning that the Jingxi Jingluo Pacification Division is subject to the control of the Tokyo Left-behind Division, and the Jingdong Jingluo Pacification Division is subject to the Huainan Xuanfu Division. In other words, Han Shizhong and Yue Fei, who were originally on an equal footing with Zhu Si, now have to obey Zhi Yanwen and Liu Guangguo respectively. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is because the second general has no mountain, so the original largest Jinghu Xuanfu Division disappeared overnight.

What's even worse is that some people interpret these actions of the imperial court and think that they are "putting things right" and a precursor to taking over the generals' military power. First dismiss the Xuanfu Division, weaken the power, and then transfer it out of place, and when the opportunity is right, it will naturally cut off the military power. But then, the Zhongshu sent a provincial document to the divisions, ordering them that after arriving at the defense area, they must still reorganize their armies and fight, and do not slack off. Then some people discussed, looking at this situation, it seemed to be aimed at the military ministers, but in fact, it was just the result of several big families wrestling with each other.

Why? Han Shizhong and Yue Fei, the two generals of the former Jinghu Xuanfu Division, have a lot of achievements, right? Whether it is resisting the Jin army's southward march or the northern expedition to the Central Plains, the division is the backbone. However, these two generals started as junior officers, accumulated combat exploits, and sat in their current positions step by step. Han Shizhong was better, because of the capture of Fang La, his reputation was not small, but Yue Fei purely started as a soldier and grew into a marshal.

It's just that the two of them have no background in the court, and there are no mountains outside. Therefore, one was allocated to the Fold family for moderation, and the other was allocated to the Liu family for listening. This situation has made some ministers of the DPRK and the central government and the retired senators faintly worried, and the Liu, Zhe, and Xu families not only have extensive influence in the DPRK and the central government, but also control the military in the local area. But in today's political climate, no one dares to make this clear.

In fact, we must only know one of these things, but not the other. That's right, the adjustment of defense is indeed the result of several wrestling, but the winners are the Zhejia and the Liu family. This proposal was originally singled out by Orihiko. He originally planned to let the soldiers of the Zhe family return to their hometown, preferably to sit in Hedong, but he gave up because of Xu Liang's strong opposition.

Later, Zhe Yanzhi found another way and proposed to dismiss the Jinghu Xuanfu Division, and divide its troops into two, one by the Huainan Xuanfu Division, and the other by the Tokyo Left-behind Division. This proposal, from the perspective of the objective situation, is reasonable, and it is favored by the Liu family, and has been strongly endorsed by Empress Liu and some ministers of the court and China. The battle was very fierce at the court meeting, Xu Liang had the intention to protect the second general Han Yue, but after all, it was not his Xu family's descendant, so there was no need for the two generals to fight to the death with the two factions, and finally made a compromise.

In exchange, his proposed strategy for Kim was also adopted. That is, after the southern armies moved their defenses, they began to prepare for military struggle, and if the time was ripe, they did not hesitate to tear up the Song-Jin peace agreement and wave the Northern Expedition.

Xu Liang believes that it is still very cost-effective to facilitate this matter with small concessions. In this court battle, there was one person who played a very important role, and that was Qin Hui. Several big families wrestled, he acted as a middleman in the middle, passing news to each other, one end to Zheyan to lower the price, and this end came to persuade Xu Liang, and finally facilitated the deal. Of course, this was acquiesced by Xu Liang.

But after the matter came to an end, Qin Hui became a celebrity. He was originally in Xu Liang's camp, because he secretly proposed the separation of powers, and was appreciated by the emperor and empress. It's really a left and right, and it's exquisite.

As soon as the matter was over, he was quickly rewarded, and the emperor issued an edict that Qin Hui "opened the palace with the three divisions" and was promoted to the rank of a first-class officer. Xu Liang was a little unhappy about this, he remembered that his cousin Xu Jiu had reminded him more than once that Qin Hui couldn't be used, but he hadn't taken it seriously before. Now it seems that Qin Hui is really not as simple as it seems.

However, Qin Hui is a very good person, after being promoted, he first thanked him, and then immediately came to thank Xu Liang. Set up a banquet at home, respectfully invite Xu Liang to the meeting, at the banquet, the prince affectionately recalled the cultivation and guidance of Xu Shao, the king of Qinghe County, and really thanked Xu Liang for his support.

This is not the end, soon, Qin Hui took advantage of his left and right sources, and through some operations, transferred Xu Liang's eldest son Xu Han, who had just been promoted to the Jinshi, and released the foreign officer, back to the central government, and sought a dispatch in the Privy Council. It is not easy for a person who has just entered the official career to be able to serve in a central organ without being a magistrate.

However, nothing is perfect in this world. Li Ruopu, the governor of the government, reminded Xu Liang that Qin Hui and his people were secretly hiding jiān and could not be believed. He also told Xu Liang that Qin Huizhi was secretly making small moves, and some ministers with vacillating positions had close contacts with him.

When Xu Liang heard these words, he became wary of Qin Hui and planned to find an opportunity to expel this person from the imperial court. And the opportunity came soon.

The entire territory of Hedong has almost been recovered, and at present, it is still the Sichuan and Shaanxi Xuanfu Disposal Division that manages Hedong, and Xu Wei temporarily takes charge of the authority of Hedong Xuanfu. This was an expedient measure, because the conquest of Hedong has always been fought by the Western Army, although it has been recovered, but the situation is very complicated, and it is necessary to beware of the Jin Army in the north going south, and it is necessary to suppress the locality, except for Xu Wei, no one has the strength to take on this responsibility. But now, the boundaries of Hedong are basically peaceful, and several sets of teams have also been roughly formed, and there is a lack of an organization to coordinate the overall situation, that is, the Hedong Xuanfu Division.

Xu Liang planned to reset the Hedong Xuanfu Division, and let Qin Hui go out to Xuanfu Hedong with the title of governor of political affairs. Everyone knows that as long as the minister goes out to preach the localities, there is generally no possibility of returning to the central government, of course, Zheyan is a special case.

On this day, the court meeting was dispersed, and the civil and military officials were all the same as usual, each going back to his own office, taking care of his own affairs, Du Qin Hui was worried, and walked alone to the palace and walked towards the Zhongshu. Just now in the court, Xu Xiangjuan asked to reset the Hedong Xuanfu Division and end Xu Wei's custody, which should have been a matter that should be shared, so no one objected, and the emperor had already expressed his pass. However, Xu Liang did not propose a candidate for the Hedong Xuanfu envoy in the court, thinking of Xu Liang's ambiguous attitude in recent days, Qin Hui had reason to believe that the candidate for the Hedong Xuanfu envoy in Xu Liu's heart was very likely to be himself.

This can't help but remind him of the time when Xu Shao asked him to go out of the court, stay in Xijing and the prefect of Henan, and repair the imperial mausoleum. At that time, Xu Shao promised him that he would go out temporarily to avoid the limelight, and wait for the imperial tomb to be repaired, which would be another great achievement, and he would come back when the time came. As a result, the imperial tomb was repaired, but the imperial court did not recruit him back to the central government, and he was reappointed as a local official. It took a long time to return to the court under Xu Liu's actions.

He really didn't want to live this kind of life. Moreover, during this period of time, his reputation in the DPRK and China has been growing, and he has been left and right in front of several forces, how can he miss such a great opportunity to make progress? However, although Xu Liang's power in the court is not as good as when he monopolized the government in the past, there are still a considerable number of courtiers who follow him, and most of them are powerful figures, even if he is Zhenyan, he can't shake him. If he insists on driving himself out of the court, what will he do to resist?

The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became, and when Qin Hui walked to the door of the Chinese book, he didn't want to step in.

"Participate in politics, what are you doing here?" Zhu Zhuo, who was also the deputy prime minister, walked over and asked casually.

"Oh, it's fine." Qin Hui said perfunctory words and coped with the past. After thinking about it for a long time, he gritted his teeth and stepped into the door. But he didn't go to his room, but went outside Xu Liang's office hall.

Looking inside, Xu Liuzheng was burying his head in the division and writing something, with a tall book piled up in front of him, and he could hardly see the end. Qin Hui hesitated for a moment and said, "Xu Xiang." ”

Xu Liang didn't look up, and said straightly: "Come in." ”

After Qin Hui entered, he stood in front of his desk and did not speak. After a long time, Xu Liangcai put down his pen, looked up and asked, "What?" Will it happen? ”

Qin Hui was silent for a while, and then said: "Xiaguan is not doing well today, I want to take a day off and go home to rest." Therefore, come and report to the minister. ”

Xu Liang said "oh", was silent for a long time, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, although the government affairs are busy, but the body is also tight, you go, rest well, if necessary, please ask an imperial doctor to take a look, I still have a big thing waiting for you." ”

Qin Hui got this sentence, but still stood still, and wanted to say something to Xu Liang several times, but he didn't say it, turned around and walked out of the hall. As soon as he left, Xu Liang, who was still buried in his head, sneered.

Qin Huizhi walked out a little lonely, bowing his head, and didn't know what to think. When he passed by the office hall of Orihiko, he subconsciously stopped. He glanced inward, and his feet did not listen to him, but went in. When he arrived at the door, Zhi Yanzhi saw it, got up from the table, greeted him and said with a smile: "Huizhi, what are you doing at the door?" Something came in and said. ”

"Oh, it's okay, it's not very good, the lower official is not doing well today, so he took a leave of absence for half a day, and he has reported to Xu Xiang, and he is here, and he is here to know about the fold." Qin Hui said casually.

Zhi Yan looked at his description, as if he was worried, and said with concern: "Yes, what's going on?" Is it exertion or an old illness? This is not to be sloppy, if there is a disease, you must ask a royal doctor to see. ”

"Thank you for the folding, I think it's tired, my heart is stuffy, just go back and rest." Qin Hui bowed his head and said.

"Stuffy? It is most likely a disturbing thing, and if I tell you to tell it, you will not be able to. Okay, go back and rest, but if there is any difficulty, as long as it is not official business, I can help, you must inform me. Orihiko asked.

"Thank you for the folding, then the lower official went first." Qin Hui bowed and bowed, and then left. Zhi Yanzhi didn't look at him, but set his eyes on the other party's Xu Liang.

But it was said that Qin Hui came out of the Chinese book and stepped out of the forbidden middle school, because the time was not right, no one came to pick it up, so he hired a sedan chair and went home. Along the way, I pondered what Fang Cai Zhiyan said, and it seemed that there was something in the words, but I was not sure. Thoughtlessly returned home, he was from a famous family, and his grandfather was Wang Qi, the prime minister of the former dynasty, and when he saw his husband coming back sullenly, he stepped forward and said, "Xianggong, what's wrong?" Why did you go home at this time? ”

"Hughti, woe has come." Qin Hui waved his hand, said in annoyance, sat down on the chair, and never wanted to get up again.

The Wang family was taken aback by the end of the women's family, and stepped forward to insist on him and asked: "You participate in politics in a dignified manner, and you are the vice minister of the court, what can you do?" Didn't you say yesterday that life will be better from now on? ”

"There are unforeseen circumstances, although I am the deputy prime minister, but I am just a listener in the court. Those big families are the real wealthy families. Qin Hui sighed.

"What are these words? The ancestors have been in business for 200 years, and I haven't heard that there are wealthy families who can influence the government, I don't believe that he can cover the sky? Wang said.

Her words were originally fù people's opinions, but they were different in Qin Hui's ears. Yes, no matter how powerful his Xu family is, can he cover the sky? Besides, he Xu Liu is not as beautiful as in the past, he was alone at the beginning, and he had the final say in the government alone, but now that King Lin is out of the mountain, he has been constrained. Besides, the queen hated him so much that she didn't know what the future would be.

As soon as he thought of this, his spirits were a little lifted, and there was no one who could speak left and right, so he said to his wife: "I offended Xu Xiang because of some trivial things. I'm afraid he wants to drive me out of the court and go to Hedong to do business, are you willing to go with me? ”

Wang almost didn't get up when he heard it: "Hedong? Is that place for people? Let the Jurchens occupy it for many years, and fight for many years, I am afraid that it is ruins and broken walls, and wild beasts are infested, what is Xu Xiang doing, he wants to send Xianggong to that barren land? ”

"You don't understand the affairs of the court, but now you have to think of a way to pass this." Qin Hui said.

Wang thought for a while and came up with an idea: "Xianggong, don't you make friends with several ministers on weekdays?" Now that something has happened, why don't you talk to them? ”

"They? Huti, there is Xu Liu, how can they speak, there are just some ...... left and right" At this point, he suddenly stopped. Because he remembered that those ministers, although they were all "marginal people", one of them had a special doorway. Thinking of this, he came to his senses, got up and went to the study, and Wang followed closely behind.

When he entered the room, he said quickly: "Grinding ink." ”

"Hey!" Wang answered, rolled up his sleeves and grinded.

I saw that Xiang Gong took a post and spread it out, and he didn't even sit down, so he took the pen, dipped it in ink, and began to write. If you take a closer look, it is a post for Zheng Zhongxiong, a direct scholar of the Xianmo Pavilion, inviting him to come to the mansion for a banquet. After Qin Hui finished writing, he instructed Wang: "Send someone to send it immediately." ”

"Xianggong, how can Master Zheng be at home at this time?" Wang took the post and said.

"You know what? I sent it at this time, and he returned home later, knowing that the matter was urgent. Qin Hui said. Then he added, "In the evening, you ordered the banquet to be set up below, not to be placed in the front hall, but in my attic in the back hall, no one is allowed to be there, and the confidentiality is important." ”

When Wang heard this, he didn't ask much, and went immediately. Qin Hui sat down at this time, his eyes rolling around, and he thought to himself. This hates Xu Liu the most, and it is none other than Queen Liu. I didn't want to see him anymore, but the guy was still clamoring for the emperor to enrich the harem and choose several women, and Queen Liu was only afraid that she couldn't kill him! If you can follow the path of the queen, you may be able to keep yourself. But he has always been a person from Xu Liang's faction, can the queen help?

I can't care so much, let's go to the doctor in a hurry, Zheng Zhongxiong has received his favor. He has a friendship with everyone in the palace, and Shen Ze is very trusted by the queen, so there is always some hope for Shen Ze to be able to take advantage of Shen Ze's relationship. If the queen can speak in front of the official family and leave herself, it is unknown, but in this way, it is equivalent to tearing her face with Xu Liu. Cease! Whatever these! He's going to drive me out of the court, so naturally it's a grace! If I pass this hurdle and stand firm, we will be close in the future!

For half a day, Qin Hui was bored in the study, racking his brains to find a way. It was easy to get to it late, so I was looking forward to Zheng Zhongxiong coming, and I went to check the banquet in person, and I was really restless. Estimating that the time was almost complete, he ran to the front hall and waited, so that when the guests came, they could go out to meet them in person.

"Xianggong! Master Zheng is here to worship! Menzi had been greeted before, and when he saw Zheng Zhongxiong getting out of the sedan chair, he rushed over.

Qin Hui didn't say a word, Liáo picked up his robe and walked out quickly, and when he walked to the back of the gate, Zheng Zhongxiong just stepped into the threshold, and when he saw him coming, he bowed his hand and bowed: "Thank you for your kindness, the lower officials are bothering again." "Bachelor Zheng is dressed in civilian clothes, with a square scarf on his head, a silk ribbon tied around his waist, a jade ring, a half-beard under his chin, and neatly combed, holding a Xichuan origami fan in his hand, and his appearance is also romantic.

However, Qin Hui didn't care about describing it because of this half-day life, Zheng Zhongxiong felt strange in his eyes.

"You're polite, Master Zheng, please inside." Qin Hui held the other party's hand and greeted him cordially.

Zheng Zhongxiong became more and more suspicious, what is the situation? Just invite me to the banquet, and come to greet me in person? So kind again? Don't you have something to ask for? But you are a dignified vice-minister, what do you have to ask me for a bachelor? Obviously, Master Zheng hasn't understood the scene in the court today.

That's not all, Qin Hui actually greeted Menzi: "Master Zheng's entourage and companions are also invited to eat and drink, don't slack off." ”

Zheng Zhongxiong was flattered, and said again and again: "Qin is so polite in participating in politics, how can it be good to call the lower officials?" ”

"Hugh said such things as seeing outsiders, and the flower hall served tea!" Qin Hui pulled him and went inside. When I arrived in the hall, two cups of tea were served, and after a sip of at most, the guests were invited to a seat. Mr. Zheng thought that this banquet would be placed in the hall, but when he saw Qin Hui invite him to the back hall, his heart went up and down. When I got to the attic, I didn't dare to sit down, isn't this a Hongmen banquet? Why be so mysterious?

Qin Hui invited him attentively, he just sat down, and as soon as his butt touched the chair, he saw Gang Hui carrying a wine jug to pour him wine, and quickly stood up again, and said with a wry smile: "Participate in politics, if you are like this again, the lower officials really can't afford it." But if you have something to say, please explain it first when you participate in politics, this wine can only be eaten! ”

"What are these words? You and I have always been close, I just invited the bachelor to have a drink, what do you say? Qin Hui said with a smile.

Zheng Zhongxiong was suspicious, ate the glass of wine nervously, and asked again, Qin Hui just ignored it and persuaded him diligently. After eating three glasses in a row, Bachelor Zheng couldn't bear it anymore, covered the wine glass, and said repeatedly: "Participating in politics, since you treat me like this, I will not see outside, but if you have something to say, it doesn't hurt for you to say it directly!" ”

Qin Hui looked at him for a long time, then put the wine pot down, sat down, and sighed: "I can't hide it, Qin is afraid that he will be kicked out of the court this time." ”

When Zheng Zhongxiong heard this, he picked up the fan on the table and patted it: "Is this worth it?" Who can participate in politics and go out of the court? How? Could it be the meaning of the official family? ”

"At today's court meeting, Xu Xiangjuan asked for the reinstatement of the Hedong Xuanfu Division, didn't the bachelor hear?" Qin Hui asked.

"This is naturally heard, reasonable, and urgent, what's so unusual?" Zheng Zhongxiong said.

"Let me ask you, is there a minister who has to go out to proclaim the Fufu Division? The great seal of the Xuanfu envoy? Qin Hui said.

"This is also natural, what does it have to do with participating in politics?" Zheng Zhongxiong still didn't understand what he meant.

Qin Hui was silent, and only asked Zheng Bachelor to think about it himself, and after a while, Zheng Zhongxiong picked up the fan again like a storyteller: "He wants you to participate in politics!" ”

"That's exactly what you say!" Qin Hui said. "I didn't hide it from the bachelor, just because I covered up for the bachelor and a few other colleagues that day, and touched Xu Xiang, he has been there for a while. Lately, I've been getting closer to you, and I've been disgusted by him. The most fatal thing is that the official family gave the opening ceremony and the three divisions, which is even more taboo for him. Therefore, I thought that the Fa wanted to drive me out of the court. ”

Zheng Zhongxiong heard this, but he was silent. Thinking that Qin's participation in politics was favored by the old Xu Xianggong at the beginning, so that he could be ranked as the ruler, and later, he was promoted by the little Xu Xianggong and returned to the center. Needless to say, the relationship is naturally so simple, how can it be so simple to get to this point?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Qin Hui said again: "Xu Xiangming is secretly the enemy of the queen, and it was his idea to enrich the harem." What I didn't say was aimed at the queen. The bachelor has spoken for the Liu family several times, how can he not hold a grudge? Although he can't help the queen, he ......"

When Zheng Zhongxiong heard this, he smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's not that easy, right?" ”

"Don't underestimate him, although he is not as beautiful as in the past, with his power in the court, it must not be difficult to rectify the bachelor." Qin Hui threatened.

Zheng Zhongxiong believed it a little, but he still said in his mouth: "You don't have to scare me with these words when you participate in politics, you can cover up for me when you participate in politics. ”

"Good! That being the case, I won't beat around the bush. Qin Hui said loudly. At this point, he filled it up again and drank a cup of drink, which was the only way to express his original intention.

"Although King Lin is the prime minister, he can't help Xu Liang for a while, and besides, he may not help me. This matter can only be entrusted to the hands of the bachelor. Shen Du knows that he is a fellow scholar and an old fellow countryman, if he can help me cover it up, there will be room for this matter. ”

Zheng Zhongxiong held the cup and did not drink, thoughtful. Yes, he has a friendship with Shen Ze, and it is precisely because of this relationship that he has become the queen's mouthpiece in the court, and he has also become one of the spokespersons of the Liu family in the court. Qin Hui is in trouble now, whether to help or not, this has to be carefully discussed.

First, he was originally Xu Liang's person, and if he helped him, then he would have to change his court. As soon as he thought of this, Qin Hui seemed to know his thoughts, and said solemnly: "Bachelor, don't worry, Qin is a sincere person, but if you help me pass this level, you will definitely know how to repay me!" ”

Hearing this, Master Zheng moved his mind. Qin Hui is a deputy prime minister, and he also has prestige in the court, if he can be pulled in, it will definitely be beneficial. Thinking of this, he said with a sigh of relief: "This is said by the lower officials, but as for whether Shen Duzhi is willing to help, and whether the queen is willing to help, the lower officials dare not guarantee it." ”

"As long as the bachelor is willing to pass on the word and be willing to speak beautifully, there is no reason not to fail!" Qin Hui said happily.

Zheng Zhongxiong was not so optimistic, and said bluntly: "Participate in politics, forgive me for talking too much." As you wished, you stayed, you are in the middle of the book, I am afraid that life will not be easy. Seeing the heavens and the earth looking up to people is not a way. ”

Qin Hui naturally knew this, and said helplessly: "No way, it's right to stay first." As for the future, one step at a time counts as one step at a time. ”

Seeing him so lonely, Master Zheng couldn't bear it, and said with relief: "Maybe I'm serious, the Chinese book is no longer Xu Liang's Yiyantang, isn't there still King Lin?" ”

Speaking of "King Lin", Qin Hui's heart jumped, he took a breath, and whispered: "You reminded me that when I took leave from King Lin today, he was concerned again and again. And what to say, but if it is not a business, if it can be of help, let me be sure to speak. At the time, I thought it wasn't anything special, but now that I think about it, I have something to say. ”

Zheng Zhongxiong thought about it, and also felt unusual, and said, "It must be so!" The fold has always been on the wrong path with Xu Xiang, this government and the opposition know everything, presumably he saw that Xu Xiang wanted to drive you out of the court, so he used this to participate in politics. ”

"If that's the case, that's fine, I'm afraid it's going to be wrong." Qin Hui said.

"What if it's wrong? Just give it a try if you participate in politics, if it happens, it's naturally good, and if you don't succeed, it's okay! Left and right Shen Duzhi and the queen, I'll say it for you, both sides are working hard, are you afraid that you can't fight Xu Liang? Zheng Zhongxiong said.

The more Qin Hui thought about it, the more this happened, and hurriedly said: "In this case, Shen Du knows where he is, so he depends on the bachelor." As for the folding, I will think about it again and see if there is a way to accommodate it. ”

"Okay, but there is one section, Shen Du knows that this person is not good to be around, but he likes to ......" Zheng Zhongxiong was about to say something real.

Qin Hui already knew it, and said sharply: "But don't worry, I have prepared a mind and asked the bachelor to transfer it on my behalf." If it happens, there will be great gratitude. After finishing speaking, he got up, took out a bag from the drawer of the desk next to him, held it in both hands, and handed it to Zheng Zhongxiong.

The latter stretched out his hand to take it, knew what it was as soon as he felt the weight, put it next to him, and said, "Okay, I'll do it for the political participation!" I just hope that I will participate in politics in the future, and don't forget the affection of the lower officials! ”

"Don't worry, never forget! Come, eat! Qin Hui persuaded.

This Zheng Zhongxiong is still a reliable person, and the next day, he sent the things and sent the letter. After Shen Ze learned about this, he felt that it was very cost-effective, so he reported the matter to Liu Fengniang, and tried his best to persuade the queen to take this opportunity to win over Qin Hui and let him use it for his own use.

Liu Fengniang thought very simply, Qin Hui is a deputy minister, has a reputation in the court, and has a certain connection, if I pull him, he will know the kindness of the retribution, and in the future in the court, he will have more strength. And it's not difficult to help, just tell the emperor about his benefits, presumably the official family is willing to keep him.

Qin Hui trembled and spent a day in the capital hall of the three provinces, and found that Xu Liang had become more and more ugly, and felt that he was talking with a gun and a stick again, and his expression was not immasculine, anyway, he was uncomfortable.

After the dispersal of the day, Xu Liang left first. Qin Hui also went out with a lot of heart, planning to go home, and send someone to Zheng Zhongxiong's mansion to invite him and ask about the situation. When he was walking out with his head down, he suddenly heard a voice behind him: "Yes." ”

Looking back, it was King Lin, and he turned around and said, "Great King." ”

Orihiko stepped forward and smiled shyly, "Why do I feel that you are depressed this day?" Jingdong Shuai Si Yue Fei's book,People said that they wanted to appease the displaced people.,And then move the people of Lianghuai.,You approve a transfer to the military department.,What does this have to do with the military department? ”

Qin Hui secretly screamed badly, thinking that he was distracted and didn't look carefully, so he accused: "The lower official is derelict in his duties." ”

Orihiko didn't blame, but said with concern: "What? Still not well? ”

"This, King Xie cares." Qin Hui can only say that.

Zhi Yan glanced at him, and said with a smile: "I don't think you are sick, you are uneasy." ”

Qin Hui didn't have much to say except bowing his head.

Zhi Yanzhi glanced at him again and threw out a sentence: "What? Don't want to go to Hedong? ”

This sentence is nothing less than thunder! Qin Huizhi was speechless for a long time, and after a long time, he stammered: "How does the king know?" ”

Zhi Yanzhi laughed: "I didn't know, but seeing you like this, Fang Zhi guessed correctly." Xu Xiangzhen plans to let you preach Hedong? ”

Qin Hui sighed, and said with a vague face: "Most of the time, Xu Xiang's words are outside the words, but he didn't make it clear." ”

"This is strange, you have always done your best to help, how can Xu Xiang be willing to push you out? Did you offend him for something? Orihiko asked.

Qin Hui looked around, although there was no one left, he still whispered: "This is not the place to speak, please move the king?" ”

Zhi Yanzhi didn't say much, turned around and went back to his office hall, Qin Hui followed in, covering the door, King Lin saw it, and said with a smile: "Why are you so careful?" I am the prime minister, you are the deputy minister, why hide when you speak in one place? ”

Qin Hui also felt a little embarrassed, turned around and opened the door again, came back and sat in front of him, separated the desk, sighed before speaking, and said helplessly: "I don't dare to hide it from the king, I think I ran between the king and Xu Xiang a few days ago, and committed his taboo, and because the saint sealed the opening of the palace with the three divisions, Xu Xiang was unhappy, so I ......"

"It doesn't make sense! Although I have some political disagreements with him, I still respect him after all, how can he be so magnanimous? How big is it, why is it so oppressive? "Zhe Yan's words have the meaning of fighting for Qin Hui.

"Who's to say it isn't? I think I have done my best for many years, this is naturally first of all to be loyal to the Lord in the mortal world, and secondly, to share worries with him. It's just that he is the second minister of the court, holds great power, and is deeply supported by the courtiers, except for His Majesty, he only takes others in his eyes, so he dares to do this. Qin Hui smiled bitterly. These words have a great sense of provocation, but Zhi Yan listened to it, but he didn't react, and said in his mouth, "Xu Xiangxian is virtuous, but he has been in the court for a long time and has made great contributions, which inevitably breeds arrogance, and there are also some things." ”

Qin Hui was a little unwilling to hear him say this, and said deliberately: "No matter what, he has carried me after all, and now that he is out of the court, I have nothing to say." There are some things that I shouldn't have said much, but the king has always cared for his subordinates, so I have to remind the king. ”

"Huh? What's the matter? Orihiko asked.

"Xu Xiang worked hard to manage, and the Great Song Dynasty has the current situation, and he is really meritorious. However, the imperial court has never treated him lightly to the Xu family, and now, he is the second minister of the court, the children of the Xu family, all of them are important, everyone is rich and noble, not to mention the king of Taiyuan. It's just that this business is big, and it is inevitable that it will have to be painstakingly preserved. Xu Xiang is now seeking government, not first seeking the court, but first seeking his family. He told me that the Liu family relied on the identity of a relative and would not last long. In this world, the unique Fold family, like the Xu family, relies on real swords and real guns to accumulate military merits. It is inevitable that he will compare with the two generals, and he will inevitably fight with the king. But he was not afraid, because of one thing. Qin Hui said this and deliberately stopped.

Although Zhi Yanzhi knew that the other party might be provoking again, the reason was nothing more than wanting to lend a helping hand, but he really wanted to know what Xu Liang said, so he asked, "Which thing?" ”

He said that the folded family started in the border town, the world guarded the prefecture, and the court relied on it. However, his command of the army, the father died and the son replaced, and the brother died and the younger brother died, and he was called Wang Shi, but in fact he was in the army. Among the folded soldiers, Yanwen, Yanshi, Yanruo, and Yanye all occupy important positions, and outsiders can't get in the needle, and the water can't splash in! Sooner or later, it will be a great disaster for the court! ”

I don't know if he said this by Xu Liang, but the effect is obvious. As soon as King Lin heard this, he slapped the case and said angrily: "What a Xu Liu! ”

Qin Hui was startled, and hurriedly reassured: "The king is angry, the king listens to this in his heart." ”

Where did Zhi Yanzhi get angry, and said indignantly: "My family has guarded Fuzhou for hundreds of years, and as soon as the Great Song Dynasty established the country, my family will be shielded from the west!" My great-grandfather, grandfather, and father, three generations of loyal to the country, sacrificing their lives and forgetting their lives, and bloody battlefields! How can there be two minds? Hmph, say that my folding family is a sī family? What about his Xu family? How many years has Xu Jiu been in Sichuan and Shaanxi? 270,000 Western troops, he holds the handle of the army in one hand! Several handsome divisions are all his brothers' cronies! Yan Yanshuai is his cousin, right? Jing Yuan Shuai is his cousin, right? Yongxing Shuai and Qin Fengshuai, as well as the Liangxing Pacification Division, are all his old departments! How can I say that I have broken home? He has 270,000 horse infantry troops, and I have less than half of my family! ”

The more the king spoke, the louder it became, Qin Hui was afraid of alarming others, and repeatedly reassured: "The king is angry, angry, beware that the wall has ears!" ”

Zheyan had a seizure, but he also felt that it was inappropriate, so he retracted his breath and said slowly: "That's it, let's not talk about it first." What are you going to do? ”

"It's not a secret, although it hasn't been clarified yet, the lower official has ordered the family to pack up and prepare to go to work. It doesn't hurt to think about it, Hedong is adjacent to the Golden Realm, and it may not be a place to make meritorious contributions. Qin Hui put on a submissive appearance, which was really pitiful.

Zhi Yanzhi waved his hand: "This court is not his Xu family, he can belittle whoever he wants?" I'm still the prime minister of the court! Otherwise, there are still officials above! ”

Qin Hui waved his hand again and again: "The king is kind, and the officials are in the heart, I really don't have to do it for me, and I ...... with Xu Xiang."

Zhi Yanzhi slapped the table: "You don't have to say much, I also know that you may not be reluctant." In this way, if you really don't want to go out of the court, I will speak to the Holy One on your behalf. ”

Qin Hui pretended to be useless, so he pretended to be pretending to be pretending to say: "The king is safe, and the lower officials are self-conscious, but Xu Xiang's move is ...... in the law."

"There are so many ministers in the DPRK and China, why do you have to go? Don't worry, since I should do this, there will be no problem! There is only one ......" Orihiko quality road.

Qin Hui listened to his "response", his heart was secretly happy, and when he heard "one", his heart hung again: "Please make it clear to the king." ”

"It's not hard to let you stay and stay where you are. The difficult thing is that since you are in Zhongshu and serving under Xu Liang, this is tantamount to tearing the skin, and you will not have a good time in the future, have you thought about this section? Orihiko asked.

Of course, Qin Hui thought about this section, but the top priority was to stay in the imperial court, and as for whether life was good or not, I would talk about it later. When I was about to take this back to King Lin, it suddenly occurred to me that since King Lin proposed it, there must be a way? Otherwise, he wouldn't have said this more!

As soon as he thought of this, he arched his hand and said, "Please be the king." ”

Zhi Yanzhi laughed: "You also understand that the truth is with you, if you stay in Zhongshu and Xu Liuri will be embarrassed by you, you won't be able to do anything." It's better to jump out of the Chinese book, but be happy. ”

Qin Hui must have a way to eat the quality of Zheyan, so he just begged: "Ask the king to show you a clear way!" The lower official sense is endless! In the future, but there is a place where you can get a lower official, dare not serve your life? ”

Zhi Yanzhi tapped on the table: "I don't ask you to repay him, it's just that Xu Xiang is acting like this, and he is becoming more and more arrogant, if no one is restrained by him, he won't ......"

"This is also the intention of the lower officials, as long as the king can be preserved, it will naturally be the king's head in the future!" Qin Hui repeatedly expressed his loyalty.

Orihiko saw that he was almost the same, so he said, "Okay, I'll show you the way." You can't keep the book, and you don't want to go to other places, is the Privy Council willing? ”

Qin Hui suddenly faced lù difficult sè! This cardinal government was originally in charge of military affairs, but over the years, the power of the cardinal government has been transferred to Zhongshu, where it has become the place where the elderly and the virtuous are respected. Besides, the head of the Privy Council is concurrently held by the king of Taiyuan, even if I have no real power in the past, not to mention, at most I will be a "Tongzhi Privy Council Affairs", as if there are already three "Tongzhi", if it is not good, it has to be reduced to "signing the Privy Council Affairs", it is better to go to Xuanfu Hedong.

"The king instructs me, so let's go!" Qin Hui got up and shook it to the end.

Zhi Yanzhi also seemed to be embarrassed: "You can't stay in this government, and the cardinal government doesn't want to go, so how can you have an equal position with you?" It's really hard for me. ”

Seeing this, Qin Hui's heart was half cold, I pretended to be a grandson with you for a long time, and I don't have any good ideas for you? What a waste of expressions! But after thinking about it, this grandson is not in vain, but he has King Lin to help him speak, and it is certain that he will stay in the center. As for the rest, let's find a way!

Thinking like this, he lost his previous enthusiasm, sat down and said, "The king doesn't have to be embarrassed, stay first, and take one step at a time." If I really can't tolerate me, and no one is in charge, the next official will still go to the east of the river. ”

Zhi Yanzhi looked at it secretly, smiled secretly in his heart, and said to himself: "When I wanted to reorganize the Western Army before, I mentioned one thing, that is, to reset the Imperial Camp Division, and I have to talk about it again in the next few days. ”

Qin Hui listened, didn't understand the seconds, and said casually: "I should mention it, I should mention it." ”

"This Imperial Camp Division is the organization that commands the whole ** team, and it directly obeys the orders of the Holy Lord, and the rank should be the same as that of the two government officials, and the imperial camp envoy should also be at the same level as the prime minister and the privy envoy." Zhi Yan said again.

Qin Hui still didn't understand, but still echoed: "This is nature. ”

"Do you have any suggestions for this candidate?" Orihiko asked.

It was only at this time that Qin Hui sniffed out a little bit and tentatively said, "What does the king mean ......"

"You're a clever man, and you've been foolish for a while. If you think about it, as long as the Imperial Camp Division is reset, there must be someone to serve as the Imperial Camp Envoy. Although there was a precedent for Liu Yanqing to serve as the imperial envoy, there was no military minister with such qualifications in the court at present, so he must use a civil minister. If you can be this imperial envoy, you will be on the same level as the second government of the government, even if Xu Liang wants to embarrass you, it will not be so easy. Besides, if you are the envoy of the imperial camp, you will jump out of the place where this is right and wrong in the book, but you will be at ease, and you really can't think of it? Orihiko smiled.

Qin Hui secretly thought to himself, if I can be the envoy of the imperial camp, as King Lin said, I will not be in this place of right and wrong! However, the Imperial Camp Division is the organization that commands the entire ** team, but now that the army is in the hands of the major commanders, how can it be controlled by the Royal Camp Division? I'm afraid it's just a vain!

Thinking of this, I can't help but be a little discouraged. But then I thought, no, I am the imperial envoy, no matter whether I have real power or not, the level is there, the signboard is there, and there is no control of the Chinese book, wouldn't it be much more free to act? Besides, if I pass the path of Shen Ze, I will have the queen and the Liu family as backers, and I am not afraid of Xu Liang! As for the ...... in front of him,

There was a lot of emptiness in my mind, and I really thought it was a good idea! But he immediately became cautious again, and said to King Lin: "This imperial envoy is so respected, how can it fall on the head of the lower officials?" ”

Zhi Yanzhi didn't sell it this time, and said bluntly: "Tomorrow, I will propose at the court meeting to re-establish the Imperial Camp Division, and no one will oppose it." Then, I will recommend you to serve as the envoy of the Imperial Camp with the title of 'Governor of Political Affairs'. ”！。
