"What... secret?" Zhao Gou asked in a low voice.

"There is a letter here. Please read it, Your Majesty." Tang Situi took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Gou with both hands.

"What letter? Whose letter?" Zhao Gou asked with a frown.

"The secret is in this letter. Everything is on it. The emperor will know it after he reads it." Tang Situi said, he was no longer too nervous, and there was some arrogance in his expression.

Fang Zian, who was pretending to be a soldier on the side, looked at it and sighed in his heart. Tang Situi was indeed not a kind person. At this moment, he probably no longer had any respect for the emperor in his heart. Every word he said was not a reply to the emperor.

The tone was the tone he used towards his peers and even his subordinates. In his mind, the emperor was probably no longer the emperor.

Zhao Gou took the letter and read it under the candlelight. Soon, his brows frowned, his breathing became rapid, and his hands began to tremble.

"Hehehehe, what do I think it is? Who forged this letter? It's another attempt to slander Qin Hui. Tang Situi, this letter is obviously a fake, but you actually take it seriously? You're really confused!" Zhao Gou snatched the letter away.

He threw the paper on the ground and shouted loudly.

Tang Side bent down and picked up the letter, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, when I read this letter, I had the same reaction as you. I also thought that this letter was a fake. It was a letter sent by someone to frame Qin Hui and engage in conspiracy.

. However, when I saw the original of the letter and the Jurchen's death-free gold medal that was found from Qin Hui's house, I was speechless. The letter was written by Qin Xiang himself and signed by Qin Hui.

The death gold medal is one of the twelve death-free gold medals forged by Wanyan Aguda, the founding emperor of the Jin Kingdom. Both the letter and the gold medal are true, and this incident... is also true."

Zhao Gou yelled: "What nonsense are you talking about? You said that I just read the letter from Prime Minister Qin? That is not Prime Minister Qin's handwriting at all. What kind of gold medal for immunity from death? What are you talking about?"

Tang Situi sighed, turned to Fang Zian who was standing behind him and said: "Master Fang, why don't you show up to see the Emperor? The Emperor doesn't believe it, I'm afraid he has to lend you the original document and the gold medal before the Emperor will believe it.

.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gou looked at a tall, dark-looking man standing there in shock, and said in astonishment: "What? He is... Fang Zian?"

Not only Zhao Gou was shocked, but Kuang Xun, who was eavesdropping under the window lattice, was also so shocked that he opened his mouth wide and almost dropped his jaw. He was stunned by what Tang Sidei said before, but now the guilty minister Fang Zian is actually in the Spring Pavilion

Here, Tang Situi had the courage to sneak in the criminal Fang Zian. Kuang Xun's heart was trembling. He held his breath and listened carefully, hoping to hear what the big secret was? Although there were already some clues, but

It's not clear yet.

"Wei Chen... Fang Zian... has met the emperor." Fang Zian stepped forward slowly and bowed in salute.

Zhao Gou looked at Fang Zian's face in shock. Fang Zian took out a piece of cloth and wiped it on his face, revealing his true face. The moment Zhao Gou saw Fang Zian's true appearance, he shouted loudly: "The guilty minister Fang Zian, you guys

What are you doing? Are you pretending to be a ghost? Come here, where are the guards? Take down the guilty minister Fang Zian."

Fang Zian said coldly: "Shouldn't the emperor's first reaction when meeting Wei Chen be to ask me why I sneaked into the palace? I don't need to be so sneaky when entering and leaving the palace, so the emperor wants to take me indiscriminately? Don't ask.

Why should I use this method? And... doesn't the emperor want to see the original of Qin Hui's letter and the death-free gold medal given to him by the Jinren? Even if I am guilty, there are priorities. Does the emperor want to take such a big thing?

Do you think his crime is more serious than yours?"

Zhao Gou glared at Fang Zian and said: "Fang Zian, I ordered you and Shi Hao to go to the Kingdom of Jin to negotiate. What did you do in the Kingdom of Jin? Participate in the rebellion within the Kingdom of Jin? Is this a small crime? Seriously damaging our Song Dynasty.

image, destroying the good relations between the two countries. The Jin people will use this as an excuse to attack the Song Dynasty. Isn’t this serious enough?"

Fang Zian laughed and said: "Your Majesty, do we, the Song Dynasty, still have an image in the minds of the Jin people? Do the Jurchens want to attack our Song Dynasty, do they need a reason? Don't deceive yourself. Your Majesty, don't say that I am just for

since

I just did some things in the Jin Kingdom. Even if I participated in the civil strife of the Jin Dynasty, I would only have committed the crime of the Jin Kingdom. Can the laws of the Jin people control me, the officials of the Song Dynasty? Yes, the emperor agreed back then.

It was indeed clearly stipulated in the Shaoxing peace talks that the Song Dynasty would profess its vassalage to the Jin Dynasty. The emperor was conferred by the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom by decree. Isn’t that just an emperor? The emperor can still feel at ease when he is an emperor, right? So the ministers must

They all have to be servile to the Jin people. I'm sorry, the emperor is afraid of the Jurchens, but we are not afraid. I am not afraid of Fang Zian, and the former Marshal Yue, Marshal Han, Zhang Tongzhi, and the officers and soldiers of the Yue Family Army and Han Family Army are not afraid, but the Emperor is not.

Scared."

Zhao Gou didn't expect that Fang Zian would actually say these words, which was equivalent to scolding him in front of his face. As an emperor, how could he be humiliated in front of his ministers like this?

"Come here, come here. Where are the guards? Are they all dead? Come and get them. Someone wants to rebel." Zhao Gou shouted loudly.

There was a commotion outside, and the servants hurriedly went to call for help. The guards were not far away, with the sound of footsteps and the clang of weapons and armor.

Fang Zian took a step forward and looked at Zhao Gou coldly. Zhao Gou took a step back and shouted: "Fang Zian, what are you going to do?"

Fang Zian sneered and said: "Your Majesty, don't you hear that a common man was so angry that blood spattered five steps away? If you want to take me and accuse me of rebelling, you are forcing me. I went through hardships and hardships and came back from the Kingdom of Jin. I brought you back and I will die."

The evidence I obtained in exchange has worked hard to stabilize the country of the Song Dynasty. But as the emperor of the Song Dynasty, you are servile and dependent on others. You want to please the Jin people without asking about the intricacies. You took me first without asking about this evidence. You

Emperor, aren't you a fool? I dare to come to see you today, but I have no intention of leaving alive. I must make it clear to you that as long as those guards step even half a step through the door, I will kill you on the spot."

Zhao Gou was horrified, pointed at Fang Zian and said: "You...you..."

Fang Zian shouted in a deep voice: "Brother Feng, brother Zhao, block the door, come in and kill each one."

Feng Yiming and Zhao Gang solemnly agreed and rushed to the door. Zhao Gang kicked out a chamberlain who was looking at the door, took out a weapon from his arms and held it in his hand. Feng Yiming also took out a long dagger from his boot and held it in his hand.

in hand.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the guards are here, don't panic, hurry up and escort me, you guys, hurry up and escort me." Kuang Xun's shout sounded at the door, and the footsteps of the guards had already arrived at the door.

Fang Zian stared at Zhao Gou, holding his hands in his arms, looking at Zhao Gou with cold eyes. Zhao Gou knew that once his hand stretched out, it would be a sharp blade in his hand. Fang Zian was strong and possessed of martial arts.

The door was blocked again, and he couldn't escape at all. If he tried to move again, he might really kill him.

"Who is in shock? Are you looking for death?" the guards outside shouted.

Zhao Gou suddenly shouted: "I'm fine, stay away from me, I'm fine!"

There was silence outside for a few seconds. Kuang Xun asked secretly: "Your Majesty, are you really... okay?"

"Get away, stay away from me, don't bother me!" Zhao Gou shouted.

Kuang Xun hurriedly waved his hand and told everyone to leave. He was confused. There was obviously a quarrel inside, and the emperor summoned the guards. Why did he suddenly ask everyone to stay away? He was probably being held hostage, or maybe he had changed his mind. Kuang Xun

Xun stood in the corridor and thought for a moment, then suddenly waved to a young chamberlain.

"What's the steward's order?" the waiter asked hurriedly.

"Our family is going to leave for a while. If the emperor asks about me, just say that I am in a hurry and go to relieve myself." Kuang asked.

The waiter hurriedly agreed. Kuang Xun glanced at the closed doors and windows of Spring Pavilion, turned around and left quickly.

In the Spring Pavilion, Zhao Gou sat slumped on the brocade couch, looking frustrated and angry.

"Fang Zian, Tang Situi, do you two know what you are doing? You dare to break into the palace and threaten me. You are lawless. You are lawless." Zhao Gou murmured.

Tang Situi said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have to do this. Qin

The prime minister's control was extremely tight, and I could only do this. I did it for the sake of the Song Dynasty, so the emperor still calmed down and looked at the evidence. The emperor himself judged whether the evidence was true or false. I didn't want to force him, but this matter was too important.

Yes, does the emperor consider Jiangshan Sheji?"

Zhao Gou remained silent while Fang Zian placed the death-free medal and Qin Hui's letter on the table.

"Your Majesty, please have a look at it. This is a letter of allegiance written by the traitor Qin Hui of the Jin Kingdom to Wan Yanchang. This gold medal for immunity from death was stolen by me from the secret room of his Getian Pavilion. Your Majesty, please have a look at it."

Zhao Gou looked at those two things as if he were looking at two pieces of red-hot iron. In fact, when he read the fake letter, he understood in his heart. Without real evidence, how could Tang Situi dare to present the fake letter to him?

Come and see it for yourself? The content and tone of the letter are completely Qin Hui’s tone. I have read a lot of Qin Hui’s articles and memorials, and I can see some of the habitual words in the letter. It’s just that when I read the letter

For a moment, I realized in my mind that this matter must not be admitted, and I must suppress it quickly, regardless of whether it is true or not.

However, what Zhao Gou didn't expect was that Fang Zian would dare to threaten him, and it was not a bluff. Just now, he saw murderous intent in his eyes. He would really do it. He couldn't push him too hard, first

Let's lighten the atmosphere so as not to force him to actually take action.

Zhao Gou picked up the yellowed sheepskin letter. He read it quickly and saw Qin Hui's familiar signature and fingerprint. He picked up the death-free gold medal and looked at it twice. He knew these two things.

Everything is real.

"Your Majesty, do you have anything to say?" Fang Zian said in a deep voice.

Zhao Gou sighed and said, "I am blind. Qin Hui is really a mastermind of the Jin Kingdom. These evidences are all true. I know what to do. I immediately ordered people to confiscate Qin Hui's family and exterminate his clan. I will not spare him."

Fang Zian nodded and said, "Your Majesty, what else is there?"

Zhao Zaozhao thought for a while and said: "And... By the way, I will withdraw the guilt against you and restore your official position. I will also give you awards. You are meritorious officials."

"Is that all? Is there anything else?" Fang Zian asked.

"What else? What else? What else do you want from me?" Zhao Gou shouted.

Fang Zian sighed: "Shouldn't the emperor immediately summon the ministers to announce this matter?"

Zhao Gou shook his head and said: "No need, that will cause unrest in people's hearts. I want to handle this matter in a low-key manner."

Fang Zian smiled.

"Your Majesty, you don't want the world to know that the person you have trusted for more than ten years is Jin Guoxinzao. Your Majesty is really a sage. He has used a Jin Guo spy as prime minister for more than ten years. Your Majesty is afraid of being ridiculed and is afraid that this will be recorded in the history books.

One stroke will make future generations laugh to death, right?"

Zhao Gou jumped up and said: "What are you doing? What are you going to do? Don't you just want to overthrow Qin Hui? I will fulfill your wish. What else do you want? I am the emperor, don't you have any sympathy for me?

Is it difficult?"

Fang Zian's eyes were bright and he said coldly: "We sympathize with the emperor, but who will sympathize with the people? Who will sympathize with the loyal ministers who were killed by Qin Hui? Who will make up for the damage Qin Hui has caused to the Song Dynasty and its subjects over the years? Who will

Are you here to sympathize with the remnants of the Huaibei Central Plains that were ceded to the Jin Dynasty by Qin Hui? You are the emperor, thank you for saying such things. You, the emperor, deserve to be called a faint king. You are not worthy of being the emperor of the Song Dynasty.

Your Majesty, don’t you feel any guilt or reflection? Don’t you want to take any responsibility for this matter?”

Zhao Gou looked at Fang Zian in confusion and said: "I understand, you are here today to force me into the palace, you are here to rebel. You want to force me to make a fool of myself, do you want me to fail to become the emperor? Impossible! I will not be like you.

Yes, I have preserved the Song Dynasty with my own hands. I am the one who turned the tide in today's situation. Didn't I have no merit? I just misjudged the wrong person. Tang Sihui, Fang Zian, I advise you to stop in moderation. Don't think that you
