Chapter 339: A Lose-Lose Agreement (8)
There is really no way, Qin Hui can only remove Zeng Kai.
According to the organizational procedures of the Southern Song Dynasty, the third official to take office was named Yin Yan.
Yin Shilang's background is very large, and he is a disciple of the Northern Song Dynasty sage Cheng Yi. Probably Emperor Gaozong would think that the disciples of Cheng Shengren, who is authentic to Confucianism and Taoism, will definitely respect the emperor and abide by the law and keep pace with the emperor.
It turned out that Emperor Gaozong and Qin Hui were quite wrong. Although Cheng Shengren has a thousand old-fashioned and annoying and unspeakable unkindness, he has never taught his students to be traitors!
Yin Zhuo didn't bother to talk to Qin Hui at all, this surrender faction who came back from the Jin Kingdom, and the relationship with the Jurchens was unclear, what qualifications did he have to talk to me.
So, Yin Shilang went directly to the palace to find Emperor Gaozong.
As a disciple of the saint, of course, Yin Zhuo would not leave empty-handed, and he brought a very special gift to Emperor Gaozong - Yin Zhuo personally copied the "Book of Rites? A sentence from the "Qu Li":
"The hatred of the father is not the same as the heavens, the hatred of the brothers is not against the soldiers, and the hatred of the friends is not the same country."
For the enemy who killed his parents, he can't be under the same blue sky with him; For the enemy who kills the brother, you must carry a weapon with you, and when you see the enemy, you will kill it directly, and you don't need to go home to get the weapon; As for the enemy who kills his friend, you can't live in the same country with him, either he will leave, or you will go.
The above is the regulation in the "Book of Rites", and it is also the understanding of the core value of "rites" by the ancients, which also includes the elaboration of filial piety.
The Jurchens and His Majesty the Emperor have a grudge between their parents, brothers, wives, children, and subjects. For these hatreds, don't you share the sky, don't you fight back?
Now instead of fighting back. In turn, it is necessary to negotiate peace. Do you have filial piety in doing this? Is it polite?
You must know that the major affairs of the country are nothing more than the words etiquette and filial piety!
Facing Yin Zhuo's questioning, Emperor Gaozong was simply anxious and embarrassed.
For a long time, Emperor Gaozong used the freedom of the Empress Dowager and other imperial elders as an excuse, and used the so-called "filial piety" as a shield for peace.
However, when Yin Zhuo used greater filial piety to dismantle this shield, all Emperor Gaozong could do was to remain silent as much as possible. and suppress the anger in the heart.
When it comes to reasoning, who can say that they can win the disciples of the saints?
Of course, in addition to being silent, the emperor and Qin Hui can also do another thing:-
Depose Yin Yu as quickly as possible
Qin Huiman thought that after becoming a lone minister, he would be able to cover the sky with one hand and do whatever he wanted. But today's reality is that a small ritual department has become his nightmare, and he can't get around.
This made Qin Hui feel anxious and helpless.
In addition to his frustration, Qin Hui soon realized the crux of the problem - he did not have many helpers in the court.
As the saying goes, "A good man has three gangs." ”
He is a solitary appearance. Isn't it a joke that there are not enough helpers in the imperial court.
So. He had to learn from Cai Jing and organize a huge power group in the DPRK as soon as possible. Otherwise, in a situation like the present, there are only enemies and no helpers at the top, and it will be simply difficult.
If you want to do it, you can do it, Qin Hui quickly drew up a list, including Gou Long Ruyuan, Shi Tingchen, Mo Jiang, Shen Qi and other cronies, and submitted it to Emperor Gaozong, requesting that it be immediately placed in major important departments.
Emperor Gaozong agreed, and ordered a special case to be implemented immediately.
Regarding Qin Hui's intentions and secret actions, there are still people in the court who understand.
If you can't fight alone, do you want to fight in a group? Just kidding, don't even think about it.
So, except for Qin Hui and his cronies, all the other officials united and concentrated all their forces to fight against Qin Hui.
This time, Zhang Tao, the squire of the Ministry of War, and Zhang Tao, the secretary of the Ministry of Power and Officials, took the lead, and gathered officials from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Crime, and the Ministry of Rites to write to Emperor Gaozong to impeach Qin Hui:
"The new prime minister Qin Hui did not follow the existing organization and attendance system of cadres to be promoted, and established a small private group, and he had malicious intentions to sabotage the system. If the imperial court insists on ignoring the organizational principles that have been in place for many years and allowing these people to be promoted, we can only resign immediately in protest. ”
The action of the officials of the four ministries stunned Emperor Gaozong and Qin Hui.
Yes, the emperor could appoint and dismiss the head of a certain department at will. However, no emperor could afford to resign four of the six ministers of the three provinces en masse, because it would mean that most of the functions of the state organs would be paralyzed in an instant, and society would immediately enter a state of anarchy.
This is not the whole problem, after the officials in charge of the practice of the four ministries collectively submitted a letter, the secretary in charge of theoretical work and the main leaders of the Hanlin Academy also signed a joint letter to oppose Qin Hui's manipulation of power.
Hu Hui, Zhu Song, Zhang Kuo, Ling Jingxia, Chang Ming, Fan Rugui and other theoretical workers bluntly said in their books that even if their future is ruined, they must impeach Qin Hui to the death.
Not only that, Fan Rugui also wrote a separate letter to Qin Hui, saying that he had learned from his teacher and forgotten his hatred and humiliation of the country.
At the end of this letter, Fan Rugui pointed out directly to Qin Hui: "Committing public anger and trapping my king for injustice... Those who are not ignorant, self-defeating, and mad, who are willing to do this... and it will be left behind forever."
This is the most severe accusation Qin Hui has received so far
Now Emperor Gaozong and Qin Hui are indeed under a lot of pressure, and these pressures have a tendency to become more and more intense and endless. In other words, no other emperor or prime minister could be indifferent to the actions of the officials and resolutely refuse to respond.
However, others won't, it doesn't mean that Gaozong and Qin Hui won't.
Except for the "Saving Mother Theory", which has been refuted many times, Emperor Gaozong and Qin Hui did not make any more statements, and Qin Hui's main strategy was to remain silent.
"The enemy army is besieged by thousands of people, and I will not move"
Mao Taizu's "Xijiang Moon? Jinggangshan" also seems to be quite able to describe the situation or mood of Gaozong and Qin Hui, the new pair.
Of course, the reason why Emperor Gaozong and Qin Hui dared to defy the world's condemnation was mainly because the situation was still under their control. At least none of the officials made anything out of the ordinary.
If you can, you can rely on it. Drag it out as much as you can. This is the statecraft that Qin Hui carefully prepared for Emperor Gaozong.
In this Confucian country where the monarch is the minister, the father is the son, and the husband is the wife, once the monarch begins to cheat, there is really not much way to be a courtier.
Despite this, Emperor Gaozong and Qin Hui underestimated the will of the Southern Song people to resist the Jin.
In the not-so-distant Han and Tang dynasties, the Han people were still a high-ranking nation.
"It is advisable to hang your head between the barbarian mansions on the street to show that those who commit crimes against strong men will be punished even if they are far away."
This sentence comes from the famous general Chen Tang of the Western Han Dynasty to Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. What a pride and ambition, the backbone of the Han nation at that time, how straight and hard.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, although the confidence is no longer so sufficient, at least there is a bottom line for doing things externally, and the basic dignity and reputation can barely be maintained.
In the early days of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Han people were beaten into a sieve by the Jurchens and were bullied, and the atmosphere of the entire Han nation reached a new trough.
And now, it is difficult to wait for a new batch of generals such as Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, and Wu Jue to appear. Not only did they support the entire Southern Song court, but they also had an increasing advantage in the confrontation with the Jurchen Jin Kingdom. There is a tendency to subdue the Central Plains and go straight to the Huanglong Mansion.
And under this advantageous situation, the emperor and the prime minister actually joined forces to surrender to the Jurchen Jinren, and even did not hesitate to bow down and surrender, but begged for a few days of peace.
This act of self-humiliation and self-humiliation caused the Han people, who had a strong sense of self-esteem, to collectively rebound, and the military generals of the civil and military forces united as never before, demanding that they be tough on the outside world, never accept humiliating offers, and absolutely not submit to the enemy.
In this context, someone finally dared to stand up and impact the emperor's bottom line.
He is the supervisor of the imperial history.
Fang Tingshi's statement has two points:——
"The world is the world of China, the world of the ancestors, the world of the ministers, the surnames, the three armies, not the world of His Majesty." ——
"Even if Your Majesty fails to lead the generals to recover Shenzhou, you can still protect Jiangzuo, why do you want to bend your knees? Your Majesty has endured this, what is it like China? Is it like the gift of the first king? Is it like the heart of [the people]? ”
What a strong, independent thought, daring to preach openly and formally to the emperor, even if you reread this article in modern times, you can't help but take the case up, and the other court is really in awe.
In the later Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, modern times, and even modern times, how many such remarks full of rebellious spirit and such principled behaviors were there?
The backbone of China is getting straighter and straighter, or is it bent more and more!
Fang Tingshi's recital made Emperor Gaozong finally unable to sit still.
This is no longer an opposition, but a direct challenge to his regime and the legitimacy of his rule.
This world is not the emperor alone, but the world of all the people, if you don't do well, we have the right not to want you to be the emperor.
Finally, someone did not buy his account and despised his so-called supreme imperial power.
What will happen next is hard to predict.
However, before Emperor Gaozong and Prime Minister Qin Hui could make any responses, a stronger wave of turmoil began in the capital Lin'an Mansion.
In the main streets, major shops and restaurants, and various public places in Lin'an City, a large number of posters have invariably appeared, which read: "Qin Xianggong is a fine work!" ”
The eyes of the people are bright, and Qin Hui is a traitor, there is no doubt about it.
This situation not only made Qin Hui tremble, but Emperor Gaozong was even more panicked.
Although the emperor lost the ability to have children, his other abilities were quite good, such as his memory.
Emperor Gaozong still clearly remembers that when he was still King Kang Zhao Gou, he and Wang Yun fled Bianliang City, passed through Cizhou, and the people beat Wang Yun to death in front of him.
"I'm going to make peace with the golden dog and kill this bastard!" …… (To be continued......)
