Fang Zian was very surprised. What Shi Hao said was really to the point. He was a sober man and what he said was absolutely correct. The most important thing in the Song Dynasty was literati. People who could write poems and lyrics were everywhere on the street.

There are a lot of people, but there are only a few people who can really manage the world. Even people like Qin Hui can control the government and do whatever they want. The tendency of government officials to follow the crowd shows the degeneration of the scholar-bureaucrat class in the Song Dynasty.

Incompetence and shamelessness have become a trend.

"What Mr. Shi said is absolutely true, and Zi'an deeply believes it. Zi'an has never been proud of being able to write a few poems. Zi'an is not such a shallow person." Fang Zian said solemnly.

Shi Hao turned around and looked at Fang Zian and said: "Zian, I have a few issues that I want to discuss with you. I hope you will tell the truth and not make perfunctory remarks. You may not understand me yet. I hate saying things that go against my heart the most.

He is a hypocrite. Even if his views are biased, as long as they are sincere, I will not be offended. After all, knowledge and hypocrisy are two different things."

Fang Zian looked solemn, nodded and said: "Master Shi, just ask, I will tell you everything I know."

Shi Hao nodded and tapped the table with his fingers on the table. The Eight Immortals table made a dull clicking sound. Suddenly, Shi Hao stopped tapping and asked in a deep voice: "Who does Zian think Yue Fei died in?"

I mean, everyone says that Yue Fei was framed and killed by Qin Hui and was killed by a traitor. What do you think?"

Fang Zian was shocked. Shi Hao was not sloppy at all and asked such a pointed question.

"This issue... seems to be too sharp and sensitive. I'm just a commoner, so I can't comment nonsense on this matter. My views may be biased, or there may be some outrageous remarks, so I'm afraid it's inconvenient to comment," Fang Zian said.

Shi Hao frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

Fang Zian said hurriedly: "What I mean is... the discussion of this case may involve the current emperor. I don't know the heights of the world. If there are any inappropriate words, if it is spread, I am afraid it will be detrimental to Mr. Shi."

Shi Hao chuckled and said: "You can rest assured. These are just private words between you and me, and they will not be spread out. Do you think that I, Shi Hao, am a despicable person who induces you to say inappropriate remarks and then spreads them to your disadvantage?"

people?"

Fang Zian waved his hands and said with a smile: "No, no, no, that's not what I meant."

"Then it's just like what you said, I know everything and can't tell you anything." Shi Hao said in a deep voice.

Fang Zian breathed a sigh of relief and gritted his teeth and said: "Forget it, I have the audacity to talk nonsense. Regarding the death of Marshal Yue, there are many opinions among the people. Most of them blame the blame on the hands of the traitor Qin Hui. They all say that Qin Hui killed Yue.

The marshal is the chief culprit. Whenever people in the world mention this case, they all denounce traitors for killing loyal people. This has become the consensus of the vast majority of people."

Shi Hao nodded slightly and said, "Yes, isn't it?"

Fang Zian said in a deep voice: "I also believe that the traitor Qin Hui must hate Marshal Yue to the core. The reason is very simple. There is no room for reconciliation between the warlord and the warlord. The day Marshal Yue regained the Central Plains, he was a traitor.

When Qin Hui handed over the head, Qin Hui must have wanted to get rid of him quickly. People all over the world attributed the death of Marshal Yue to Qin Hui, so they did not blame this old thief unjustly. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was the mastermind. However, I am afraid that things are not the same.

So simple. Although the old thief Qin Hui is in a high position, does he really dare to kill Marshal Yue? Marshal Yue was in our Song Dynasty

He is the god of the army, with great reputation and admiration by everyone. Although Qin Hui is the prime minister, does he really dare to kill a person like Marshal Yue without any scruples? Does he have such courage? He is not afraid of offending the public and causing people all over the world to rise up.

And attack him, will he be cut into pieces? The most important thing is, will the emperor allow him to cover the sky with one hand and allow him to do whatever he wants? Although his power is high, can he be higher than the emperor? "

Shi Hao stared at Fang Zian with bright eyes, and said in a deep voice: "But what do you want to say?"

Fang Zian said solemnly: "The case reported by the world must be decided in Dali, discussed in detail in the Ministry of Punishment, and then submitted to the Central Committee, and finally decided by the master. For an important official in the court like Marshal Yue, his crime case will be discussed and decided.

We must be very careful, and there must be no omissions in the procedures. In other words, even if Qin Hui and others hate Marshal Yue deeply and want to get rid of him quickly, the case still needs to be 'decided by the owner'. To kill

What Marshal Yue ultimately needs is the emperor's approval. Qin Hui had ten thousand intentions to kill Marshal Yue, but if the emperor couldn't get through, it would be in vain. Instead, he would end up backfiring himself. Marshal Yue was eventually killed.

Yes, what does that mean? It means that it is not only Qin Hui and his gang who want to kill Marshal Yue, but ultimately it is the emperor’s wish. If you ask me who is the culprit behind the death of Marshal Yue, I am not afraid to tell you.

The treacherous words are precisely because the Holy One wants to kill Marshal Yue, and Qin Hui is certainly one of the chief culprits, but the decision-making power lies in the hands of the Holy One."

If Fang Zian said these words in the market, he would probably explode immediately. His words seemed not only to excuse the old thief Qin Hui, but also to target the current officials. What a treasonous statement.

, beating him to death in the street is still a light thing, and killing the Nine Clan is not an exaggeration. However, after hearing such words, Shi Hao in front of him was as calm as a stone.

"You mean that the emperor wanted to kill Yue Fei, but he only wanted to use Qin Hui's hand, right?" Shi Hao said in a deep voice.

Fang Zian nodded slightly and said, "I'm afraid that's the case."

"Then, why did the emperor kill loyal ministers and good generals? Is the current emperor a foolish king? Doesn't he know that with Yue Fei here, is it possible to restore the Central Plains and revive the Song Dynasty? The Yue family's army has won every battle, and the Jin people are frightened. Shaoxing Ten

One year, the Yue family's army reached Zhuxian Town and almost recaptured Bianliang. Why did the emperor destroy the Great Wall and cut off his own arms?" Shi Hao asked again.

Fang Zian said solemnly: "I, Taizu of the Great Song Dynasty, set the ancestral precepts of emphasizing civility over martial arts when we founded the country. The reason is naturally self-evident. It is because Taizu started his career as a military officer, and he wore a yellow robe and conquered the world. In order to avoid the same thing happening again, naturally

It is necessary to prevent military generals from becoming powerful. Therefore, the policy of emphasizing civil service over military power was adopted, and a complete set of decentralization of the court structure was designed to prevent the slightest corruption and ensure the stability of the country. Therefore, it is impossible for today's officials to not have concerns about military officers becoming powerful. The Yue family's army is over

They are good at fighting. The more invincible Marshal Yue is, the greater this concern will probably be. The Yue family army has been undefeated in a hundred battles and has made brilliant achievements. However, every victory actually makes them more feared by others. In times of chaos,

Naturally, they would not consider how to curb the expansion of the military attache's power, because they needed to fight to the death with the Jin people. Once the situation stabilized, it would be necessary to rectify the military attache and seize their military power to ensure that the court would not be restrained by the military attache and leave no hidden dangers.

I think this may be one of the motives why today's officials want to kill Marshal Yue."

Shi Hao nodded slowly. He originally thought that Fang Zian would do what officials and knowledgeable people privately guessed.

The emperor was worried that Yue Fei would finally bring back the Second Saints as he said in the slogan he sent out troops to threaten his position as emperor. This was used as a reason to state the emperor's motive for killing Yue Fei. But Fang Zian used a more fundamental perspective.

To explain all this. This statement is actually more convincing. The founding of the Song Dynasty was based on the seizure of power by military men, so later generations tried their best to avoid such a situation. The first thing Taizu did after he conquered the country was

It was the "Release of Military Power over a Cup of Wine", which took back the military power in the hands of military generals. After that, every generation of officials would not allow military personnel to become powerful. This was the most sensitive thing in the Song Dynasty.

Yue Fei's strength and reputation had indeed reached a point that people had to worry about back then. It was indeed not impossible for the emperor to have murderous intentions.

"...The emperor became suspicious and worried, and Qin Hui and others added fuel to the flames, slanderous attacks, and produced some false evidence of Zhang Tongzhi's rebellion. Under such circumstances, the emperor decided to kill Marshal Yue in order to gain the throne.

It is not surprising that it is stable. Of course, there are some other reasons. For example, I heard that Marshal Yue was an upright person and made the emperor unhappy many times. Marshal Yue once held high the banner of "Welcoming the Second Saint". I'm afraid these

All will have an impact on the emperor's psychology. Marshal Yue is not fond of beauty, does not love property, and has no desires. This makes some people fear and worry. A person who has no desire for money and beautiful women will be taken for granted.

I think there must be other motives. In short, Marshal Yue's death is an eternal injustice, which makes people angry and desperate. But it has to be said that this is the result of various circumstances. The old thief Qin Hui's crime is unforgivable, and Marshal Yue aroused the emperor's suspicion.

Fear and unhappiness are also other reasons. The death of Marshal Yue, a loyal minister and good general who has never been seen in the ages, is a huge loss for our Song Dynasty. The idea of ​​reviving the country has come to nothing, which makes people sigh and find it difficult to let go. There is no such person as Marshal Yue

Leading the army, I am afraid that the Song Dynasty will never have any hope of regaining the rivers and mountains. However, I am afraid that the current officials have no intention of regaining the rivers and mountains." Fang Zian sighed and shook his head, looking very depressed.

Shi Hao listened quietly, looked at Fang Zian and said slowly: "Zian, please allow me to take back what I said before. You are not only talented in literature, but also insightful. Although your opinion may not be the truth, at your age, you can

It is extremely difficult to think about this matter to such an extent. Now I can rest assured. Your Majesty is lucky to meet someone like you. I think I, the Song Dynasty, will have one more good-looking person in the future."

Fang Zian smiled and said: "Master Shi, please don't say that. I'm talking nonsense. Thank God that Master Shi didn't laugh at me. These thoughts are a bit rebellious. What's rare is that Master Shi didn't reprimand me. This makes me already

Thank you very much.”

Shi Hao said sternly: "Black is black, white is white, so why hide it? I have criticized him in front of the emperor. However, I must explain to you that in my opinion, the current emperor is still a

The Emperor of Saint Ming. I have to say that the Song Dynasty could be in today's situation and be able to revive the country after the Jingkang national disaster. It was because of the great efforts and courage of the emperor. If the emperor had not turned the tide, the Song Dynasty might have been destroyed.

.I think this can also explain why the emperor prefers to negotiate peace with the Jin people in order to exchange for peace in the world. He wants to preserve the hard-won situation of the Song Dynasty, and is unwilling to make a desperate fight or fight to the death. The emperor has the emperor
