Chapter 070 - Three Ministers in the House of Deliberations
Now that there is a way, everyone does not have to continue to be in a daze at the door. The group left the House of Representatives and found a secluded place to stop. Fortunately, the area in the Dali Temple is very wide, and it is easy to find a place where no one is around. Let Wang Zhi and the others wait here, while Xie Zuo and Ma Zhao turned back to the location of the Parliamentary Court.
They certainly won't go through the front door again this time. Slowly checking along the courtyard wall, where one side courtyard intersected with another, Ma Zhao threw a look at Xie Zuo. Xie Zuo understood, took a few steps outside, pretended to be thinking about things alone, and looked left and right to see no one, and then nodded to Ma Zhao. Ma Zhao did not hesitate, took out a small flying hook from the marching bag behind him, threw it lightly, and after a slight click, he saw him climb the wall three or two times with great dexterity like an ape, bow down and look around, and then find a rope to hang down the wall.
Xie Zuo hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the rope, his feet on the wall to borrow strength, and with the help of Ma Zhao, he also climbed the wall smoothly.
Turning over the courtyard wall, Ma Zhao approached Xie Zuo's ear and whispered, "There are people patrolling the courtyard, follow me." ”
Xie Zuo nodded in understanding, Ma Zhao didn't say much, and quickly ran along the root of the wall for a short distance, and then stopped at a corner. Xie Zuo followed behind, although he didn't know his intentions, but in line with his trust in his ability, he did the same. Not long after the two of them hid around the corner, two armor soldiers passed by where they came from, only two or three meters away from their hiding place, but because of the angle, they did not find the two of them, so they left directly.
Awesome! Xie Zuo couldn't help but be impressed by Ma Zhao's ability again. But Ma Zhao didn't seem to be proud of this, and continued to take Xie Zuo around and around, hiding from the patrolling soldiers who passed by from time to time. He seems to have a natural sense of smell, and can always spot his opponent in advance, and then find a hiding place in time to avoid it.
There are two courtyards in the Parliamentary Court, and there are more than 10 rooms in the main hall. The two of them didn't know what their target was, so they could only follow all the buildings one by one. At this time, Xie Zuo was extremely glad that he followed Ma Zhao to sneak in, if he followed his own method, there would be no less than five teams of armor soldiers patrolling in this courtyard, not to mention that it would not be cleaned up or not, at least it would be impossible to achieve silence.
When the two sneaked to a separate side hall in the atrium, Ma Zhao suddenly tugged at Xie's left sleeve and motioned him to look over there. Xie Zuo followed the direction he signaled and saw four armor soldiers standing at the door of the side hall. After passing through so many rooms, only this place is guarded, so needless to say, the main lord should be here!
The rest is simple. Xie Zuo just planned to peep, and he didn't plan to assassinate him closely, just take a look from afar. And in the depths of Dali Temple here, it will not be so perverted that the entire building is guarded. Xie Zuo and Ma Zhao circled around the side hall, came to the hidden place behind the house, and then secretly poked their heads out and looked in through the window lintel.
The light in the room was slightly dim, and the distance was a little far, so I could only vaguely distinguish that there were five men sitting inside. These five people are all dressed in court clothes, although the colors and patterns of court clothes are different, but with Xie Zuo's limited knowledge, it is really difficult to distinguish who is who. However, from the seating and appearance, I can also see some clues.
On the main throne sat a man of about fifty years of age, with a thin body, but prominent cheekbones, deep eyebrow bones, and a pair of eyes full of essence, at first glance a calculating and energetic man. Judging from the fact that he can sit in the first seat, except for Qin Hui, who is the head of the hundred officials of the dynasty, he should not think about it as a second person.
Qin Hui's head was a slightly chubby official, who looked older than Qin Hui, but his head hung quite low, and he was talking to him in a low voice in a posture that was almost half a head shorter than Qin Hui. It is said that in the matter of framing Yue Fei, Qin Hui's most trusted and powerful assistant was the superintendent of Yu Shi Wan Qiao. From this aspect, it is guessed that this person is about to be alone!
On the opposite side of Wan Qiao, the person sitting upright was tall, unsmiling, and similar in age to Wan Qiao. The opposite side of Wan Qiwei is also the right head of Qin Hui, and to be able to sit in this seat, probably only Zhang Jun, who was the privy envoy at the time, has this qualification. I never thought that one of the four generals of Zhongxing, who was as famous as Yue Fei, would also become an accomplice of the pro-gold faction, which is really embarrassing.
As for the remaining two, Xie Zuo had no way to guess. However, he didn't need to guess, as long as he saw Qin Hui's appearance clearly, this adventure would have been completed.
Just as Xie Zuo was staring at Qin Hui, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the hall:
"I've been going for so long, there should be results, why hasn't there been any news yet?"
This passage was like a bell, and it came from Zhang Jun's mouth. It is estimated that only people who have been in the army for a long time can speak so loudly.
However, except for Zhang Jun, the others spoke much softer. I saw that the person who seemed to be a man of ten thousand words opened his mouth to speak, but his voice was intermittent and almost inaudible, and he could only vaguely hear a few words:
“…… Lure the enemy...... Evidence...... Surely death ......! ”
Zhang Jun seemed a little impatient, and waved his hand violently: "I know these myself, but I must always catch the solid evidence of Yue Fei's collusion with the traitor before I can be beheaded, which is also the meaning of the official family." Now that the news has not arrived, it is useless to say more! ”
Xie Zuo's heart jumped suddenly, like a lightning bolt, and a faint thought suddenly came to mind.
Yue Fei was the unswerving anti-Jin representative of the Southern Song Dynasty, and at the same time the most vocal among the people, deeply loved by the people in the occupied areas in the north, and from time to time he came up to welcome back the second emperor of Huiqin, so it is not surprising that he was regarded as a thorn in the side by the peacemakers represented by Zhao Gou. In this context, it seems that it is logical for Zhao Gou to let Qin Hui and others come forward to kill Yue Fei.
So the question is: in what name can we use to kill the pillars of the country with the highest voice, the strongest strength, and the greatest merit?
Qin Hui and the others were very clever in adopting a roundabout way of moving forward.
The first step was to transfer Yue Fei, who was about to recover Kaifeng, back to Nanjing and give him the position of privy deputy envoy.
In the second step, Wan Qiao, Luo Ruji and others came forward to impeach Yue Fei for the crimes of "delaying aid to Huaixi" and "abandoning Shanyang", and relieved him of his position as privy deputy envoy, so that he could be idle.
The third and most critical step is to put Yue Fei, who is now powerless and powerless, to death on a charge and never suffer in the future. But it is precisely this step, and it is also the most troublesome point.
Yue Feiqi can be said to be a rare upright person in the world, loyal and patriotic, self-denying, honest and honest, no bad habits, neither greedy for money nor afraid of death, almost a perfect example among officials in the feudal era. It's okay to say that he committed some wrongdoing, but it's almost impossible to find evidence that could put him to death!
In the history known to Xie Zuo, Qin Hui framed Yue Fei for rebellion, and although he was imprisoned, he was forced to have no evidence, and finally had no choice but to use a "trumped-up" charge that had been laughed at for thousands of years, and finally executed Yue Fei and solved the big trouble in his heart.
However, from the content just now, Xie Zuo heard something different.
