Chapter 513: Ten Years of Spring and Autumn Heroic China
Qin Hui's Prime Minister's Mansion is located on a wide street in the south of the Lin'an Palace, and the neighbors are all the official residences of the imperial court from the second grade or above, similar to the Wenwu Street in the east of Chengdu Mansion.
As a generation of traitors who control the court, Qin Hui has countless guests, and the guards at the door are also first-class Jianghu experts, Yao Ruoyu can only see at a glance that the four guards who are standing at the door and look at themselves vigilantly are all masters of the consummation of the four realms.
"What a big deal! The Four Realms are the gatekeepers," Yao Ruoyu muttered in a low voice, motioning for Li Yijian to leave first, and then stepped forward to hug his fists, "King Wen of Sichuan and Shu, come to visit Qin Xiangye." ”
Seeing him report to his home, a guard said with a smile: "What is the King of Sichuan Shuwen, Lao Tzu has never heard of it, even King Fu and his ilk have to prepare a name card to visit my family's Prime Minister's Mansion, make an appointment in advance, where are you from the miscellaneous vassal king?"
Seeing that the four of them were all careless and difficult, Yao Ruoyu smiled helplessly, and said lightly: "I am polite now, it is to give face to Qin Xiangye, not to you like a local chicken, tile dog, now go in and spread the word, otherwise I will let you not even look at the door." ”
Since Qin Hui ascended to the throne, the worst person who can come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to visit is also a feudal official, and he treats these porters with the mentality of jealous houses and black, difficult ghosts, and beating dogs to see the owner, and try to be polite.
It's been a long time, how have these porters ever seen Yao Ruoyu and other domineering people, and they all pulled out their swords and sheathed them for a while, and one of them even laughed fiercely: "Let our brothers not even look at the door? What a big breath! Zhuo Lao Er, hurry in and call someone, just say that there is an assassin who wants to assassinate Xiangye!"
One of them responded and turned his head to enter the gate, and the remaining three all strode forward, glaring at Yao Ruoyu with gloomy eyes.
Yao Ruoyu shook his head helplessly, no longer covering his qi, and the majestic aura of the six realms and four realms suddenly soared, flooding the three gatehouses that were only perfect in the four realms, and he couldn't even stand steadily, and all the and urine fell to the ground.
As the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty who is above 10,000 people, there are so many masters in Qin Hui's mansion, almost at the moment when Yao Ruoyu burst out of qi, several strands of soul thoughts in the prime minister's mansion have risen one after another, and Yao Ruoyu roughly counted them, and found that there were no less than five people.
Yao Ruoyu sighed and sighed: "It is worthy of Qin Xiangye, who is in power and the opposition, there are five and six realms in the Prime Minister's Mansion alone, how many masters will there be outside?"
"Why don't you dare to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to make trouble!"
With a thunderous shout, a burly man with a full beard jumped out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and crashed into the courtyard behind the gate like a boulder, glaring angrily.
Yao Ruoyu took on his robe, stepped past the three concierges who were paralyzed on the ground, and said indifferently: "King Wen of Sichuan and Shu, come to visit Qin Xiangye, and please pass on one or two." ”
"King Wen?" the bearded man was stunned, suddenly reacted, raised his thick eyebrows, and sneered, "But that King Wen Yao Ruoyu, who occupies Sichuan and Shu?
Yao Ruoyu sighed and raised his voice: "If Xiangye doesn't come out again, this king can only do it, but at that time, we won't be able to talk about it." ”
The bearded man sneered, what kind of identity is Qin Xiangye, how could he pay attention to such a villain's ambition fanatic, but before he could draw his sword and make a move, a person had already floated behind him, and said with a smile: "The head of the martial arts sect and move slowly, Xiangye has an order, please ask His Royal Highness King Wen to enter the house for a while." ”
Hearing the greeting of the comer, a trace of anger flashed on the face of the martial arts leader, and the corners of his eyes twitched a few times before he suppressed the killing intent in his heart, slowly let go of the handle of the knife, turned his head and smiled: "Qi Guanshi, is it really what Xiangye said?"
"How dare Qi fabricate the order of the prime minister," the person who came came with a long beard on his chest, dressed in a green shirt, and had the demeanor of a bookkeeper, approached and bowed to Yao Ruoyu, and said with a smile, "Lord Wang, please here." ”
Yao Ruoyu snorted, glanced at the ugly face of the martial arts head, a trace of disdain crossed the corner of his lips, and when the other party's complexion became more and more iron, he directly followed the Qi steward to the depths of the mansion.
The head of the martial arts sect was suppressed for a long time, and after all, he couldn't help but turn his head and said angrily: "Does the prince dare to fight with a certain family?"
But he didn't want Yao Ruoyu to not even turn his head back, he just raised his hand and waved, and said with a smile: "I can even kill Li Taibai of the Xishu Sword Sect, you are only six realms and six realms, and you dare to make a big deal in front of me?"
The head of the martial arts sect couldn't help but be angry when he heard this, but because of Qin Hui's order, he didn't dare to draw his sword and make a move, so he could only watch Yao Ruoyu and Steward Qi disappear around the corner of the corridor one after another.
Yao Ruoyu followed the Qi steward all the way, and within a moment, the two came to a pond on the west side of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As soon as he walked through the porch, Yao Ruoyu saw Qin Hui wearing a brown robe, with his hands on his sleeves, standing by the pool like an ordinary old man, looking at the pool happily, and sprinkling some rice grains into it from time to time, attracting koi in the pond to compete for food.
The Qi steward looked like he was weak and weak in his forties, but there was no sound of footsteps when he walked, and it was clear that he was a senior cultivator, he quietly came behind Qin Hui and said, "Xiangye, His Royal Highness King Wen has arrived." ”
Qin Hui turned his head and saw Yao Ruoyu, scattered all the rice grains in his hand, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "Haha, Your Highness has arrived, come and sit here, Lao Qi, serve good tea, and say goodbye to King Wen for a few years, I want to reminisce about the past!"
Glimpse of Steward Qi leaving, Yao Ruoyu sat down as he said, groaned, and was about to speak, Qin Hui had already laughed and said, "Your Highness is here, but to persuade the old man to agree to send troops to fight gold?"
didn't expect Qin Hui to be so straightforward, Yao Ruoyu was slightly stunned, and then said, "Exactly." ”
Qin Hui smiled, touched the huge agate stone ring in his left hand, and sighed: "Six days ago, Chu Yangge suddenly returned to Beijing, and at that time, the old man knew about the annexation of Western Liao by the Jin State. ”
Hearing Qin Hui suddenly talk about this, Yao Ruoyu was a little confused, but he didn't speak, and listened to Qin Hui continue: "Then, first Yue Pengju came back, and then Yang Ji came back, in the court, the three princes with different surnames, as well as the six Shangshu, Shilang, and Wailang, civil and military officials, all of them kept arguing. ”
"Chu Crazy Ge and Yue Pengju support the immediate dispatch of troops to attack Jin, Su Shi and Zhao Tingzhi feel that first let you Dawen consume the troops of the Jin Kingdom, Wang Anshi and Yang Ji also have their own ideas, but it's very strange!" Looking at Yao Ruoyu, Qin Hui pointed to his nose and said with a smile, "So many people are quarrelling, why didn't anyone come to ask what Ben Xiangye meant?"
Yao Ruoyu was slightly stunned, and some didn't understand what Qin Hui meant.
"I think in your minds, this prime minister should be the kind of person who will not support sending troops to attack Jin, and it is best to let the entire Great Song Dynasty surrender to the Jin State," Qin Hui smiled and said slowly, "But to be honest, I surrendered the Jin Kingdom, is there any benefit?"
Without waiting for Yao Ruoyu to think about it, Qin Hui had already shook his head and smiled: "The old man is now above 10,000 people under one person in the Great Song Dynasty, even if the three princes with different surnames in the Eight Realms are in charge of most of the military power, they will at most compete with the old man, this kind of power, the old man will only think of defecting to the Jin Kingdom when he is stupid, and he will be treated in exchange for the ghost knows what kind of treatment he will have, don't you say?"
After hesitating for a moment, Yao Ruoyu still nodded slightly, and suddenly Qin Hui had a little more smile on his face: "So, whether or not to take the initiative to cut gold this time, Chu Yangge, Yue Pengju, Yang Ji, Su Shi, Wang Anshi, Zhao Tingzhi, Bao Zheng, Ouyang Xiu, Wen Tianxiang, they have asked each of these guys for their opinions, but no one has come to ask me!"
Looking at Qin Hui, Yao Ruoyu suddenly realized.
In history, Qin Hui was indeed the one who killed Yue Pengju, but was the real cause of Yue Pengju's death in history really because Qin Hui wanted to frame Zhongliang?
It is true that framing Yue Pengju had the factor that Qin Hui wanted to seek more power, but more importantly, it was that the Song Emperor Zhao Gou at that time was afraid that Yue Pengju would welcome back the imprisoned Emperor Hui and Qin after defeating the Jin State and threaten his throne.
One is afraid that his position will not be guaranteed, and he hopes to seek peace, and the other, as a courtier, in order to seek status, will naturally go along with the intention and frame Yue Pengju at all costs.
But what about this era?
The current Emperor Song is only seven or eight years old, and he does not understand the government at all, so it can be said that half of the court is under the control of Qin Hui.
But once he surrendered to the Jin State, Qin Hui might not be able to have the power he has now, and in such a completely different situation, how could he hope that the Song Dynasty would be defeated by the Jin State?
Seeing Yao Ruoyu thoughtful, Qin Hui smiled and said: "No one came to ask, so why did the old man express his opinion? The old man just looked at it, watching them arguing one by one, and watching them figure out what I meant one by one, hehe, don't you think it's particularly interesting?"
Yao Ruoyu was speechless, and only after a while did he hesitate: "So, dare to ask what Xiangye means?"
Qin Hui touched his chin, smacked his lips, and said with a smile: "What is the benefit of cutting gold for the old man? If the Jin Kingdom is destroyed, and the generals like Chu Crazy Ge have gained the merit of pouring the sky, I am afraid that it will not be as easy for the old man to take charge of the court again." ”
"But if the matter of cutting gold is frustrated, it will be different," Qin Hui narrowed his eyes, and the old god smiled on the ground, "The strength of the military has been hit hard, and it can no longer affect the court, and the old man's chair will be much more stable." ”
Yao Ruoyu was silent, Qin Hui naturally expected this, but if he really wanted to say the answer he had conceived in advance, he was still a little nervous when he was in battle, in the final analysis, he was a ghost talent who was good at swordsmanship, not a longitudinal and horizontal man who was good at lobbying.
Taking a deep breath, Yao Ruoyu said in a deep voice: "Xiangye thinks that if the Jin Kingdom is destroyed, how many troops will I have left?"
Qin Hui rolled up his sleeves, pursed his lips and said nothing, just motioned for him to continue with his eyes.
Yao Ruoyu had no choice but to continue: "If the Jin State is destroyed, it means that Chu Crazy Ge has no hands, whether he goes to the south or the north, it will have a huge impact on the local situation, to the north is the Mongolian fear, to the south is the southern barbarian turtle shrinkage, in other words, after the destruction of Jin, we only need to survive a few years, and when the vitality is restored, we have the capital to destroy another country." ”
"Regardless of whether you destroy Mongolia or barbarians first, when it is over, the three princes with different surnames will be able to use their hands freely, even if you break the rule that the Eight Realms are not allowed to act at will, and join forces to destroy the Eight Realms of the remaining country, wouldn't it matter?"
Looking at Qin Hui, Yao Ruoyu said solemnly: "Destroy the three kingdoms of Jin, Mongolia, and Barbarians, and my Great Song Dynasty will naturally unify China, and as the prime minister at that time, how powerful can you be?"
Seeing his serious gaze, Qin Hui smiled faintly, motioned to the servants who had been waiting at the door for a long time to bring the tea up, and then waved their hands to signal them to retreat.
After making a pot of tea for the two of them, Qin Hui smiled slowly: "So, at that time, the trouble of the military's merits will be overwhelming, and the prince still hasn't solved it for the old man!"
For some reason, Yao Ruo seemed to hesitate before he said slowly: "Xiang Ye thinks that how much time will it take to destroy the Three Kingdoms?"
Unexpectedly, Yao Ruoyu suddenly asked like this, Qin Hui was stunned, and thought: "If it is according to the method that the prince just said, it will take at least ten years, of course, if Mongolia and Nanban send troops in advance, it may be shortened by a few years." ”
"Exactly, in ten years, how old is the current saint?" Yao Ruoyu said lightly.
Qin Hui was originally reaching out to touch the teacup, but after hearing the words, his movements suddenly paused, he glanced at him fixedly, and suddenly raised his head and laughed: "Interesting, I didn't expect that the prince and the king of Chu are not of the same mind." ”
Yao Ruoyu took a deep breath and pretended to be calm and said indifferently: "This king is the king of Wenbang. ”
Qin Hui bowed his head, took the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, and said with a smile: "Then as the prince wishes, tomorrow the court will meet, and the prime minister will support the dispatch of troops to fight gold, but in the future, I hope the prince will not forget what he talked about today." ”
Yao Ruoyu bowed slightly, got up and said, "Then the king will leave first." ”
Qin Hui took a piece of pastry and threw it into his mouth, waved his hand casually to send off the guest, Yao Ruoyu hugged his fists and saluted, and under the leadership of the Qi steward who appeared in the air, he turned around and left the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After Yao Ruoyu left, Qin Hui took out an ancient book from his sleeve, gently stroked the cover, and muttered with a playful smile: "Everyone is a gentleman, but I am the treacherous villain, I would rather be responsible for the world, how can I let the world bear me!"
His fingertips swiped across the cover, from top to bottom, revealing a far-reaching artistic conception.
"Mengde's New Book"!
