Chapter 345: Qin Hui's Tribulation
Thinking of this, Qin Hui suddenly shuddered.
In any case, he must hold the power in his hand tightly and not let it slip away; Once the power slips away, his only fate for Qin Hui is definitely ruined, everyone shouts and beats, and even worse than Cai Jing.
After thinking about it repeatedly, Qin Hui finally made up his mind: Okay, since I am already so shameless, let me continue to be so shameless.
If you can't do it for a hundred years, at least you have to catch a stench for 10,000 years. Regardless of whether it's right or wrong, at least I've made a name for myself, wouldn't it be happy?
As for the question of right and wrong, it is natural that in later generations there will be people who reverse black and white to defend him.
With his mind set, Qin Hui began to rush around in order to preserve his phase. First of all, he sent Feng Yi to Gaozong's side to test the emperor's attitude.
Feng Yi saw Emperor Gaozong and asked sideways: "Now that the Jurchens are menacing, are we going to reactivate Zhang Jun." β
In the minds of all the Southern Song Dynasty people at that time, Zhang Jun was the most staunch anti-Jin prime minister, and now that the Jin people are coming, it is also right to reactivate Zhang Jun.
Emperor Gaozong listened to Feng Yi's question, became impatient, waved his hand to let him go, and said, "I'd rather overthrow the country than use this person." β
would rather the country perish than use this person, it can be seen that Emperor Gaozong's resentment towards Zhang Jun is so deep that it has reached a point that outsiders can't imagine.
After listening to Feng Yi's report, Qin Hui was still not at ease, and sent the king of the imperial history to find out again.
Wang Ciweng entered the palace and said to Emperor Gaozong: "Our country has been rebuilt, but the general policy of governing the country has not been firm. Every time you encounter a small event. Change the prime minister immediately. And later it turned out. The new prime minister may not be better than the old one; Moreover, every change in the leadership team will bring a lot of partisan disputes, which will make the situation in the court even more volatile, and I hope Your Majesty will take it as a warning. β
Regarding Wang Ciweng's advances, Emperor Gaozong even claimed to be.
As a result, "the juniper position is safe, and the public opinion cannot be shaken." β
Because Qin Hui still gained the trust of Emperor Gaozong, he no longer had to worry about dismissal from the top. In other words, as long as Qin Hui himself can withstand the impeachment from Yushitai, he will be able to survive this hurdle smoothly.
When the second war report from the front line was sent to the imperial court, the time for Qin Hui's test had arrived
The second battle report reported the news of the Song army surrendering without a fight on the front:
First of all, it was in Bianliang City, Kaifeng Prefecture: Wanyan Zongbi led hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers to attack, the team was not lined up, and the war drums had not had time to beat, and Meng Yu, who stayed in Tokyo, held a white flag and surrendered in Kaesong.
And Luoyang City, Xijing, which was attacked by Li Cheng, stayed behind Li Yong and fled overnight after hearing the news that the Jin army was coming to attack.
In this round of offensive. The most prominent is the young Ge Wang Wanyan Yong, who was later known as "Xiao Yao Shun" Jin Shizong.
Wan Yanyong took more than 1,000 cavalry soldiers to attack Guide Mansion. was stopped by Lu Yundi, a left-behind guard in Nanjing, on the way. Wan Yan Fu was about to draw his knife to face the battle, but Lu Yundi shouted loudly:
"King Ge is slow, I'm here to surrender, not to fight."
After speaking, Lu Yundi dedicated the big seal left behind in Nanjing to Wan Yanfu.
And so on and so forth
This is the guard sent by Emperor Gaozong and Prime Minister Qin Hui to the south of the Yellow River.
Vulnerable, greedy for life and afraid of death.
Emperor Gaozong and Qin Hui had no intention of resisting at all, Qin Hui did it on purpose, but what about Emperor Gaozong? Probably stupid, he completely believed that the peace negotiation was true, and the people of the Jin Kingdom would not raise troops.
Regarding this battle report, Emperor Gaozong's words turned out to be: "I can't imagine that a dignified emperor of the Dajin Kingdom is so untrustworthy." β
How should we evaluate this man who has been an emperor for more than ten years?
Stupid? Childish?
Or, according to later generations, this guy is the big SB one.
Immediately afterwards, Emperor Gaozong said thoughtlessly: "The enemy does not know the faith, and there is no blame." However, scholars and doctors cannot observe festivals, or even worship, and the custom is like this, which can be very worrying. β
The enemy does not know the faith, and there is no way to blame them, after all, they have just come out of the mountains, and their civilization has not yet been civilized; But our scholars could not keep their own integrity, and before they could see the shadow of the enemy, they surrendered one after another, and they competed to become the norm, which is what worries me the most.
Seeing the emperor like this, Qin Hui immediately showed his profound acting skills.
I saw that he suddenly changed to an expression of concern for the country and the people, first reprimanded the treachery of the Jin people, and then changed the topic, and sighed falsely: "Since Jingkang, those who have betrayed the country have been forgiven, so they are familiar with what they have seen and heard. If he is punished, let it be from this day. β
Since the Jingkang Incident, all those who defected to the enemy and betrayed the country have all been forgiven by the emperor's grace, so that today's situation of surrender has become commonplace. To put an end to this, it is necessary to severely punish all those who have a history of surrender from today onwards.
Such remarks actually came from Qin Hui's mouth, which is really ridiculous and laughable.
In fact, Qin Hui's father-in-law Wang Zhongshan, Qin Hui's wife's uncle Wang Zhongyi, and Qin Hui's brother-in-law Wang Jian all surrendered to the Jin people during the Jingkang period and were eagle dogs of the Jin Dynasty. And after Qin Hui gained power, all these people ran back and became high-ranking officials in the imperial court.
Qin Hui's actions were obviously to divert everyone's attention in order to cover up his crimes in the peace talks
For Qin Hui's words, some people really couldn't see it, so they teased Qin Hui.
This person is Liao Gang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.
Of course, Qin Hui is now in a high position, and Liao Gang is unwilling to hack him directly, so he slapped the bricks at Qin Hui's little brother and relative Zheng Yinian.
Liao Gang pointed at Zheng Yinian and said, "Lord Zheng, didn't you say that you are willing to guarantee the lives of your family, and the Jin people are sincere in peace?" Now that the gold thief has betrayed his alliance, where will you put the lives of a hundred people in your family?
Why did Liao Gang say such a thing?
It turned out that Zheng Yinian was a bachelor of the Senior Administration Hall at that time. On the day when Qin Hui and Zhang Tonggu signed a peace agreement, he once strongly supported Qin Hui and said in public: "Reconciliation can be a long time." I am willing to protect it with a hundred mouths. β
I vouched for the lives of more than 100 members of my family. The peace talks will be successful. The two countries will surely get a long time in peace.
Now that Liao Gang said this, it was just a rehash of the old thing.
At this time, Prime Minister Qin Hui came out to speak: "Shang Shu Xiaoren, it should not be like this." β
Liao Shangshu, you should know that Zheng Yinian just said it casually, and there is no need to hurt the harmony of his colleagues.
After that, no one else followed up and held Qin Hui accountable. There was no more follow-up.
Why this is happening. The reasons for this are none other than four points:
First, Emperor Gaozong thought that Maxima was good, but lackeys were rare, and it was difficult to find such an outstanding lackey as Qin Hui, so he did not take the initiative to remove him.
Second, Qin Hui's face is thick enough, and when this kind of thing happens, he still refuses to take the initiative to resign, since the emperor didn't blame him, he thought he was right, and covered up his incompetence with shamelessness.
Third, in just over a year as prime minister, Qin Hui has completely controlled the Taiwan admonition department.
If this happened in the past. Even if the emperor doesn't speak, the prime minister is thick-skinned. The officials will also flock to it and scold it to the fullest, so that the emperor will have no way to cover it.
However, because Emperor Gaozong wanted to avoid discordant voices before and after the peace talks, he allowed Qin Hui to replace all the imperial historians with his own henchmen. In this way, no one stood up to impeach Qin Hui, so that he was able to escape by luck.
Fourth, during the period of peace negotiations, Emperor Gaozong punished and exiled a large number of far-sighted and courageous officials in order to suppress the voices of opposition, so that a certain kind of white terror was formed in the court, and everyone dared not speak out.
In this way, Qin Hui successfully escaped.
And this calamity is also the last calamity in Qin Hui's life. Since then, Qin Hui has been peaceful, and the officialdom is happy; Even under the pressure of the Jin State, even Emperor Gaozong was a little afraid of him, and every time he met Qin Hui, he had to hide a knife in his sleeve, just in case
Although Qin Hui barely passed the test, he had to come out to do some faΓ§ade work for the Jurchens to press step by step.
So, Qin Hui said to Gaozong in the early dynasty:
"Things in the world must change with the times, and we can't stick to them. At that time, he made peace with the Jin people because it was indeed a situation of peace at that time; Now since the Jin people want to go their own way and destroy the covenant, it is their fault, justice is on our side, we are doing the right thing for heaven, and victory is inevitable. β
Immediately afterwards, Qin Hui slapped his chest again, and said confidently: "Today, the vulture has changed and the discussion is fruitful, and the minister asks His Majesty to go to the river first, tell all the road marshals, and work together to solicit it." His Majesty worked the army one after another, such as Han Gaozu to immediately determine the world. β
I am willing to go to the river in place of Your Majesty, and together with the marshals of all stripes, to conquer the enemy.
Emperor Gaozong was overjoyed, stood up from the dragon chair, held Qin Hui's hand tightly, and praised:
"You're a loyal servant. Previously, the Jin State agreed to return the land of Henan Zhulu and my mother and brother, as a son of man and a brother, of course, I must play filial piety and righteousness, and do not hesitate to compromise and make peace with the Jin people. Unexpectedly, this turned out to be a trick by the Jin people, who had just signed the treaty and mobilized the people again. The poor people of Henan have not yet rested and recuperated, and they have suffered the scourge of swords and soldiers, which really makes my heart ache. I hope you will urge the armies from all walks of life, serve the country wholeheartedly, and start victorious. β
Emperor Gaozong and Prime Minister Qin Hui played a double reed play, which can be regarded as an explanation to the subjects of the world.
Based on the current grim situation, Emperor Gaozong hurriedly ordered the armies to prepare for battle, and at the same time issued the "Reward Grid" for the capture of Yan Wushu, that is, the reward order:
Wushu is not good, kills his uncle, raises troops namelessly, and the first is a chaotic rank. The generals and the army and the people have the ability to capture and kill the vultures, and when they see the messengers of Ren Jiedu, they will be removed from authority; Those who have not yet reached the festival envoy shall be granted the festival envoy. Those who are high-ranking officials are not removed from the envoys, and those who see the commanders of the army are still removed from the envoys. The rest of the people still gave 50,000 taels of silk, 1,000 hectares of land, and the first house and one district.
What a big deal...... (To be continued......)
PS: Thank you for the big evaluation votes that swept the Internet, the big mistakes and the big reward of the beautiful girl 007.
