Chapter 104: The Thoughts of the Ministers
readx;? But said that at this time, Zhao Hong listened to Queen Yang's words, and his heart was also relieved, since Queen Yang did not question it on the spot, today's matter can be regarded as settled. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Today's matter actually has a lot of loopholes, but all the courtiers below, although they all know it, but no one stands up to say a word, only Mao Zizhi is still shouting against it, even Xin Qiji has given up, at this time Zhao Kuo is dead, and Zhao Hong has obviously received the support of the courtiers.
At this time, Qiu Poor is not here at all, Zhao Guicheng is also weak, there is no room for resistance at all, the outcome of this coup is already doomed, Xin Qiji naturally knows that it is useless to say more, there is no corresponding strength position, and simple reasoning has no effect at all.
What he was thinking about at this time was, why did many officials, led by several senior officials from the three provinces and six ministries, actually support Zhao Hong so tacitly? Could it be that they were all bought by Zhao Hong? Under Zhao Kuo's nose, Zhao Hong, as the crown prince, was able to quietly buy off all the senior officials of the three provinces and six departments in the Great Song Dynasty? Is his method really so clever?
The answer is obviously not so, and the ministers' letter to Zhao Hong actually did not make it clear why they would support Zhao Hong in everything, and even hinted that even if Zhao Hong killed his father and murdered the monarch to usurp the throne, they would resolutely support it.
The reason is actually very simple, this is all Zhao Kuo's own doing.
Originally, if according to Qiu Poor's plan, after the Jin and Song alliances, only a bait to replace the identity of Shi Miyuan, the original secretary of the Ministry of Rites, would have been able to throw out, but Zhao Kuo did not stop doing anything, since Qiu Poor's evidence pointed out that Shi Miyuan was really a corrupt official and had a deal with Jin Meng, then Shi Miyuan died unjustly, and it was simply true.
It can not only clarify the Zheng Dynasty, but also completely eliminate the suspicion of the Jin Kingdom, and also eliminate Shi Miyuan, a mercenary villain, and lift a time bomb in the Great Song Dynasty, why not?
So although Shi Miyuan contributed a lot, in the end, he ended up with a broken family and was beheaded by all the people.
Zhao Kuo was also quite satisfied with this, but he didn't say much, claiming that Shi Miyuan colluded with the Mongolian envoys and conspired to kill the king of Zhao of the Jin State, intending to destroy the friendship between the Jin and Song dynasties and destroy the alliance between the two countries, so he expressed the determination of the Great Song Dynasty, and in order to calm the anger of the Jin State, he beheaded Shi Miyuan.
The courtiers only took out the evidence of Shi Miyuan's corruption, and at this time the ministers were simply stunned, who didn't know that Shi Miyuan of the Jin Song Dynasty had contributed a lot? However, it was just because of the corruption and bribery a few years ago or even more than ten years ago that he actually killed him, and he was still beheaded all over the house.
Where did they know that Shi Miyuan had had a dirty deal with Jin Meng and betrayed the interests of the Great Song Dynasty?
Of course, Zhao Kuo didn't know what the consequences would be if he killed Shi Miyuan, or that he didn't take Shi Miyuan in his eyes at all, so he began to crack down on corruption and perversion of the law according to Qiu Poor's plan, and as long as he found evidence, he would be killed directly.
This made Lian Quanchen Han Yanxuan nervous, and everyone was even more frightened and restless, for fear that Zhao Kuo would find out about his head next.
In fact, Qiu Poor's plan is perfect, that is, he wants to use Shi Miyuan, and then pretend to kill him, but in fact, he wants Shi Miyuan to change his face as a supervision official to review the corruption of officials.
After all, Shi Miyuan deceived money and deceived Meng, it is impossible to have any contact with foreign clans, this time there is a lot of effort in the plan, in fact, he has already stood in the camp of Qiu Poor, plus he is a person with no bottom line, as long as he promises a heavy reward, he will inevitably be conscientious, and he will review all officials more than once, and he can solve the problem of corruption within the Great Song Dynasty to the greatest extent without coming forward in person.
Moreover, Shi Miyuan's initiative will also attract everyone's hatred and attention, and will not let everyone settle the account on the head of the emperor or Qiu Poor, and then when the fire is almost over, and the fear and anger of the officials cannot be suppressed, he will naturally throw Shi Miyuan and borrow his head to use.
Who knew that Zhao Kuo took it for granted that he directly killed Shi Miyuan, and personally came forward to fight corruption and advocate honesty, and the courtiers would naturally panic.
The atmosphere of the Great Song Dynasty is like this, you are embarrassed to go out if you are not corrupt, everyone has so many bad debts, even when the national hero Yue Fei was alive, he also received a lot of silver from various people in the court, not to mention their group of greedy people?
At this time, Zhao Kuo personally grabbed the knife to crack down on corruption, as long as it was found to be a sand head, how could everyone not panic?
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Kuo once again insisted on going his own way, and directly promoted Qiu Qiang to seven levels in a row, with the intention of establishing Qiu Qiang as the crown prince and succeeding the emperor.
Zhao Kuo's attitude and trust in Qiu Qiang, needless to say, all the ministers saw it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts, and this series of things, whether it was Zhao Kuo's anti-corruption and clean government, or Zhao Kuo's reform of the imperial examination system, or the Jin-Song Alliance, were all planned by Qiu Qiang and handed over to Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Kuo was originally a good old man who was so easy to fool, but since Qiu Qian appeared, everything has changed.
Since the first time he met Qiu Qiang, Zhao Kuo has been rare and tough, and he has directly changed Qiu Qiang from a white Ding to a carefree marquis, and now he is even more desperate for all opposition, almost crazy to let Qiu Qiang directly promote seven levels in a row, which is simply unreasonable.
Coupled with the bewitchment of Yang Kang's undercover agents, Jia Rudao and others, saying that Qiu Qiang knows what ** demon arts, saying that he has a nose and eyes, and also gave various examples, which made everyone secretly wonder, could it be that Zhao Kuo really fell into ** demon magic?
In the end, even Han Yanxuan couldn't be sure, after all, he himself had listened to Qiu Poor's advice and changed the plan of the 'Qingyuan Party Ban', at that time he only felt that Qiu Poor, as a royal family, was deeply favored by His Majesty, and it was not easy to offend, according to what he said, in fact, it made no difference to Han Yanxuan, it was just a personal favor.
However, after listening to the rumors at this time, I looked back and pondered carefully, and I was even more puzzled.
However, it is certain that Zhao Kuo's heart has changed greatly recently, and his style of doing things is completely different from before, although he still has the same appearance and the same voice, but the feeling has completely changed.
Will Zhao Kuo be even more crazy in the future? Will he wantonly slaughter his ministers? If Qiu Qiang really ascends the throne as emperor in the future, what will be their fate?
Han Yanxuan and the others gradually separated from Zhao Kuo, on the surface they were submissive, but behind them they were anxious to lose their hair, and they didn't know what to do.
At this time, the opportunity finally came, so everyone gathered together again, and after discussing, they handed a letter to Zhao Hong, no matter what method he used, as long as he could ascend the throne as soon as possible, they would give their full support.
In this way, there is now a scene of the six members of the three provinces and more than half of the civil and military officials, obeying Zhao Hong's words and being die-hard. (To be continued.) )
