Chapter 197: The officials are divided into two factions

Fu Xiujie was reminded by Song Jiu, he suddenly didn't dare to continue to force himself with the ministers below, only to see him slow down his tone, and said with a smile: "Mr. Cai misunderstood, you are so virtuous, how dare I kill you, other ministers don't have to be so excited, I won't do anything to Mr. Cai, and I will not do anything to the courtiers who have the heart to support me as emperor, I promise you, as long as you choose to support me now and let me sit on the throne, then you will all be the founding heroes in the future, I will give you, including your children and grandchildren, endless glory and wealth. ”

For Fu Xiujie's sudden change of attitude and commitment, some officials began to have crooked thoughts, and now the emperor has fallen into the hands of Fu Xiujie, and all of them are surrounded by Fu Xiujie, so the probability of Fu Xiujie being able to seize the throne in the end is still very high, so if they don't express their support for Fu Xiujie as soon as possible, they will lose the opportunity later.

As the so-called wealth and wealth are in danger, some officials were ruthless in order to be able to fight for the glory of the future, and suddenly knelt down and said: "Uncle Fu, the minister has always felt that you have the world in mind, are strategic, and are a person who can really govern the country, so now the minister is willing to support you to become the new emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom and rule the world." ”

Once someone took the lead in attaching himself to Fu Xiujie, the ministers who originally had the same thoughts as this minister responded one after another, Fu Xiujie saw this scene, and his heart was finally satisfied, only to see him beckoning to this group of officials, and replied: "Ministers, rest assured, as long as you support me, after I sit on the throne, I will definitely greatly save your officials and give you the title of king and minister." ”

Fu Xiujie's tempting promises attracted more and more officials who were chasing fame and fortune to surrender to him, but there were also officials who despised this kind of behavior and turned directly behind Gu Shengan.

Soon the officials in the court were divided into two factions, a considerable part of the officials bowed their heads directly to Fu Xiujie, and the backbone officials stood there with their heads held high, they were not afraid of death, but they did not want to completely lose the loyalty in their hearts, and they knelt to live.

There is also a small group of officials who are still neutral, huddled in the middle, trembling.

Fu Xiujie saw that most of the officials chose to support him at the moment, the anger in his heart disappeared instantly, and at the same time, he also swept away the gloom on his face, and he said to Song Jiu proudly: "Emperor, you are right just now, it is true that the threat of violence cannot make all officials submit to me, but the combination of the threat of force and the temptation of wealth and power is very useful, you look at the courtiers below, they are not the same now." ”

But doesn't that seem cheap? They can support you for the sake of power and riches now, and they will be able to betray you for greater power and more glory and riches another day. ”

"I know this better than anyone else, I was born to chase fame and fortune, but I don't care, I just need their current support."

Fu Xiujie smiled sinister when he said this, only to see him say in Song Jiu's ear: "As long as they support me now and let me sit on the throne, I have a way to slowly get rid of those who still have different intentions towards me." ”

Song Jiu suddenly glared at him, "Fu Xiujie, you are so despicable. ”

"How can you be a superior person if you are not mean?"

Fu Xiujie said coldly: "Emperor, you are too weak, so you can only be a puppet forever, if it weren't for Gu Sheng'an's reputation and reputation, and he didn't want to do something that would leave a reputation in the future generations, he would have killed you a long time ago and would have been the emperor himself." ”

When Fu Xiujie said this, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he continued: "But fortunately, Gu Sheng'an has not made a move, so I have cultivated such a big force in the court, and now that the opportunity is in my hands, I naturally have to hold it in my hands without hesitation." ”

Song Jiu's mood at this time was also very complicated, she looked at the minister kneeling on the ground in a daze, she really didn't expect that most of the officials in Dajin Kingdom were like this, maybe all this really blamed her.

Because she has no real power, let alone ability, she can't control these ministers, and Gu Sheng'an, no matter how much power he has, he is just a Taifu after all, because he is not the emperor, so there will only be more and more officials who disobey him, probably because the officials of the court of the Great Jin Kingdom have been leaderless, so the division of the officials in the court and the central government has become more and more serious, and there are more and more factions between them.

If it weren't for Fu Xiujie's rebellion, Song Jiu really didn't realize that Dajin was already so weak.

Song Jiu looked at Gu Shengan with a complicated expression, and it happened that Gu Shengan was also looking at her at this time, the two looked at each other, and Song Jiu saw the trace of contempt and helplessness in Gu Shengan's eyes.

Gu Shengan looked down on those officials who surrendered to Fu Xiujie without any lower limit, but at the same time, he felt helpless about what was happening in front of him, Gu Shengan really thought about reorganizing the dynasty and changing the atmosphere of the court in Dajin, but no matter what he wanted to do, a large number of officials would jump out against him, and he finally used his power to suppress these jumping officials.

Slowly, Gu Shengan became a powerful minister in the eyes of the officials in the court, everyone felt that he was manipulating the emperor, he was controlling the government, and at the same time, more and more officials began to unite against him.

Gu Shengan knew that if it continued like this, sooner or later he would not be able to withstand the invasion of this group of officials, and then be swallowed up by them little by little, as the so-called not breaking and not standing, in the end, Gu Shengan decided to take a gamble, he wanted to purge the officials of Dajin, and now Fu Xiujie's rebellion is the best time.

As long as he can eliminate the unhealthy tendencies in the Qing Dynasty and make Dajin stronger and stronger, then no matter how much he sacrifices, it will be worth it.

Song Jiu saw Gu Shengan's eyes change, he guessed that Gu Shengan must have a move, and at the same time, he also believed that Gu Shengan would definitely not be defeated by Fu Xiujie so easily.

However, Song Jiu really couldn't think of what Gu Shengan should do next to pull back the group of officials who had been co-opted by Fu Xiujie.

There are not many officials behind Gu Sheng'an, and they are all young officials, all of them are of very low grade, they are naturally not comparable to Fu Xiujie's side, plus Fu Xiujie still has so many guards, and the number of secret guards brought by Gu Shengan is limited, and they are really not the opponents of Fu Xiujie's guards, Song Jiu couldn't think of any way Gu Sheng'an could turn the tables.

Fu Xiujie noticed Song Jiu's eyes, and he sneered coldly: "Emperor, it's useless for you to look at Gu Shengan at this time, after all, Gu Shengan himself is difficult to protect, and you don't expect him to save you." ”
