Chapter 65: The Views of the Monarch and the Minister

Song Huizong Zhao Ji was sent back safely under Pang He's arrangement, and Zhao Ji returned to the capital with his imperial spirit. Fang La also knew the news that Pang He had sent Zhao Ji back, so he came over to find Pang He.

Pang He and Su Ying were sitting and resting at the time, and when they saw Fang La's arrival, they hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, and Fang La asked, "Pang He, what are you doing this for?"

Pang He didn't know what Fang La was asking: "The subordinates don't know what the sect leader means, the subordinates haven't done anything, and they don't know what the sect leader is asking?"

Fang La reminded: "Tell me, why did you put Zhao Ji back!"

Pang He knew that this matter had been known to Fang La, and it was impossible to hide it: "The subordinates did put the emperor back, because the subordinates knew that the country could not be without a king for a day, and if the emperor was not put back, the world would be in chaos, and the people would suffer." ”

Fang La asked: "Do you know that Cao Cao has coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and we have also held Zhao Ji hostage to achieve our goal of commanding the world." ”

Pang He replied: "Of course, his subordinates know that Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but his subordinates also know that this time is different from Cao Cao's time. ”

Fang La asked, "Oh, tell me, what's the difference in the situation!"

Pang He replied: "At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a group of heroes rose together, and many of them were comparable in strength, and no one could command anyone, and no one was willing to surrender to anyone. This led to a result, that is, there was a need for a justifiable reason, and that reason was Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. But we are completely different now, no one in the Great Song Dynasty can be an equal to the imperial court, and no one is willing to form an alliance with us. Moreover, the Great Song Dynasty was troubled by internal and external troubles, with Liao, Jin, Xixia and other foreign tribes harassing and invading border passes, and there were traitors and cholera courts. If we hold the emperor hostage now, it is likely that Cai Jing is holding another Zhao royal family hostage in the capital as a puppet to compete with us. ”

Fang La thought for a while and said, "What you said also has some truth, I heard that this time Cai Jing and other traitors were in charge of power in the capital and did not go south. ”

Pang He said: "My subordinates have also learned a little about this matter through the emperor. According to what the emperor said, it was Cai Jing who deceived the emperor to Jiangnan under the pretense of having the emperor's anger in Jiangnan, and the purpose may be to seize power. ”

Fang La smiled: "This emperor, is he a fool, why is Cai Jing willing to do whatever he says?"

Pang He explained: "Actually, the emperor is a person who values love and righteousness. You should know that sometimes in the Emperor's House, if you can't ascend to the throne one day, your outcome may be a dead end. ”

Fang La said: "Well, under heaven and earth, there are very few people who can sit on the throne, this is a symbol of supreme power, everyone wants to sit on it, and they must sit firmly and comfortably." If you want to sit firmly, sit comfortably, and sit at ease, you must kill all the people who covet the throne, and no one can stay, otherwise, the one who dies is likely to be yourself. ”

Pang He said: "That's right, because of this, it is a very fortunate thing to be able to sit on the throne, not only as a symbol of glory, wealth and power, but also as the key to being able to save his life." When the emperor was still the king of Duan, in fact, the battle for the throne has always been at a disadvantage, and he was able to sit on the throne entirely because of Cai Jing and others, if it weren't for Cai Jing, he would not have been able to sit on the throne at all. For the emperor, Cai Jing not only gave him a throne, but also a life. That's why the emperor indulged Cai Jing so much to do what he wanted to do. In fact, Cai Jing seized the throne for the emperor, just for his own glory and wealth, and to satisfy his dream of leaning towards the government and the opposition. If the emperor loses his value one day, then he may not have the right to become a puppet. ”

Fang La said: "I can't imagine that being in the emperor's house, it looks like such a beautiful scenery, high up, but it looks so high-sounding. I sympathize with him now, as an emperor, it is really quite a failure to be able to do this! No wonder the Zhao family will be defeated in his hands, if he really has consciousness, don't let Cai Jing and these traitorous ministers cause such trouble to the dynasty. Maybe, he was not a good emperor in the first place, or rather, he was not the material to be an emperor at all. I see you, you have a lot of respect for him, can you tell me why?"

Pang He replied, "It's not really respectful. What the sect leader just said is right, the emperor really doesn't seem to be the emperor's material now, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people in the world who oppose him. The reason why I call him the emperor is because he has always believed in me and has always regarded me as a very reliable person. So, in my mind, he is still the emperor. At the beginning, my master and brother and I were persecuted in the capital, and it was the emperor who saved us, and I have always remembered this kindness. ”

Fang La said: "So, this time, you helped him, helped him get through the difficulties, and let him go back!"

Pang He said: "The reason why the sect leader controls Jiangnan is for the world. I saved the emperor this time, nothing more than for the world. If I don't help the emperor, then once the emperor encounters any danger, Cai Jing can do whatever he wants in the capital. This is not what the sect leader wants to see, and it is also what the people of the world do not want to see. ”

Fang La smiled bitterly: "When you say this, I really have no reason to blame you!"

Pang He said: "Actually, there are many reasons why the sect leader wants to blame his subordinates. For example, this time, if I don't let go of the emperor, the sect leader can hold the emperor hostage and come to the side of a clear monarch. The reason why the sect leader does not blame his subordinates now is because the sect leader is benevolent, cares about the world, and cares about the people of the world. ”

Fang La smiled: "It turns out that I can still do this, you are right, if I want a right, I should hold the emperor hostage, but I am afraid that it will leave a bad reputation." I still choose the choice you made, after all, Zhao Ji was able to come to Huaiyin is also your reason, and I don't want you to bear the name of a villain, and let a villain become Jinzhi's concubine, which is what I don't want to see. Okay, you're busy, I'll go see Jin Zhi!"

After speaking, Fang La turned around and left, and Pang He sent Fang La off.

Su Ying sighed: "Fortunately, it's finally over, I really hope that the king is like a tiger, fortunately, the sect leader is more wise, otherwise we will be in a different place." ”

Pang He said: "It is precisely because the sect leader is such a person that I will take the risk of doing this, I hope the emperor can also understand my intentions, go back and be a good emperor, and don't let Cai Jing and these traitorous ministers do whatever they want and cause chaos to the dynasty!"
