Zhao Yun laughed, but Han Hong looked sincere. Zhao Yun's words today inspired him a lot, making him realize Zhao Yun's broad mind and Zhao Yun's higher level of foresight on a deeper level.
Zhao Yun predicted that Monk Wanyan Chen would be framed. Will the facts really be as Zhao Yun expected? Let's look at what Cui Li, the privy envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, was doing at this time.
At Cui Li's house, Zhang Xiuzheng and Cui Li worked together to discuss important matters.
Zhang Xiu said to Cui Li: "Your Majesty, now that Monk Wanyan Chen has killed Chi Lao Wen and scared off Polu, Nawo Kuotai has taken the opportunity to attack the main camp of Tolei headquarters. The crisis in our Jin country has been resolved, but Yu Shi
As far as you are concerned, a bigger crisis is brewing, so you should make plans early."
After hearing this, Cui Li raised his eyebrows and said solemnly, "What is the crisis? Please tell me in detail."
Zhang Xiudao: "After the Mongolian army is defeated, Monk Wanyan Chen will also return to Kaifeng. It is expected that when Monk Wanyan Chen sees Master Lang, he will definitely make a suggestion to Master Lang and ask Master Lang to thoroughly investigate whether the soldiers' money has been withheld."
One thing, once this matter is thoroughly investigated, it will definitely be traced to you, the envoy, and then you will be in trouble."
Cui Li was quite puzzled and said: "The way to pull out the silver is to buckle it with Buha, and then send it to my officer. Those are all done by Buha, what does it have to do with me?"
Zhang Xiudao: "Your Majesty, the struggle for power has never been about fairness to people's hearts, nor about right and wrong, but about achieving the goal by any means necessary.
Your Majesty, you and your empress now control the inner palace and the outer court together. It can be said that you have all the power. However, after all, your family has just risen. Its foundation is not deep and your status is unstable. Secretly, I don’t know how many people are angry at your Majesty and dare not speak out.
.
Now Monk Wanyan Chen's reputation is at its peak, and he is highly valued by Master Lang. If he is instigated and exploited by someone with ulterior motives, and uses the silver as a way to break through, then the master will be just a swordsman and I will be a fish."
When Cui Li heard this, he immediately felt in danger and was extremely afraid of Monk Wanyan Chen.
As the deputy commander, Monk Wanyan Chen accompanied Yici Buha on the expedition. Unexpectedly, he had a conflict with Yici Buha over the matter of leaving Ba Yin, and finally left in anger. To say that Monk Wanyan Chen would not pursue the matter,
I'm afraid no one will believe it.
As for a power struggle, it doesn't matter whether you made a mistake or not. What matters is whether you can be involved. As long as you can be involved, nothing can turn into trouble, and small things can turn into big ones. In the end, life and death are not up to you.
Moreover, there was another incident involving Monk Wanyan Chen that made Cui Li feel ashamed and angry.
Back then, Cui Li chose Yici Buha among the three, Monk Wanyan Chen, Wanyan Heda, and Yici Buha. This matter was known to all the officials and the common people.
But now the results have come out. It can be said that Cui Li was blind. He moved to assassinate Buha and brought an army of 100,000 people, and the entire army was wiped out. However, Monk Wanyan Chen turned the tide with only 400 people, and even brought a fool like Chi Laowen to the rescue.
The general was killed, which was such an irony for Cui Li.
Although Cui Li had successfully pushed away his responsibility through the Daxiangguo Temple incident before, but now that everyone has looked back, no matter how they look at it, they all feel that Cui Li's original decision was too bastard and he was too ignorant of talents.
, now among officials and among the people, many people have taken this incident to make fun of Cui Li.
It can be said that the current monk Wanyan Chen only needs one day of glory, but for Cui Li, it is just one day of humiliation and ridicule. How can Cui Li bear this?
So Cui Li prepared to attack Monk Wanyan Chen to remove this thorn in his side and his flesh.
Youdao is to strike first to gain advantage, and to strike later to suffer disaster. Cui Li came up with a plan. He began to thank guests behind closed doors and threatened others that he was ill.
Secretly, Cui Lize instigated his party members to stop all affairs in order to highlight Cui Li's importance in the court.
Soon, under Cui Li's instructions, the imperial court was paralyzed, with no one to take care of all political affairs, no one to handle all major and minor matters, and no one even paid the salaries of the palace guards. This made Wanyan Shouxu anxious.
no.
Wanyan Shouxu summoned many ministers one after another and asked them why they did not deal with the affairs. Wanyan Shouxu even said angrily: "Could it be that Cui Li is sick and the court will stop functioning? If he dies in the future, will I no longer want to live?"
Facing Wanyan Shouxu's anger, those ministers could only kowtow and beg for mercy. They said that Cui Li was calm and capable. He had always been in charge of all the affairs of the court, and they had always been in order. Now that Cui Li suddenly fell ill, the court was at a loss.
It's really difficult to adapt.
Anyway, these people can only say one thing, the court really cannot do without Cui Li now.
Wanyan Shouxu had no choice but to come to Cui Li's residence in person to visit him, express his concern and hope that he would recover soon, which meant that he could come back quickly to deal with his affairs.
Facing Wanyan Shouxu, Cui Li had a sick look on his face and his eyes were lifeless. He said: "Master Lang, my health is getting worse day by day. I'm afraid I will die soon. Ahem, cough, cough."
The only one I can't worry about now is you, Master Lang."
After hearing this, Wanyan Shouxu looked impatient and said: "I am the emperor, the most respected person in the Nine-Five Years. Why don't you worry about me? You should take good care of your health and go back as soon as you are well. If the court leaves you, it will be true for a while."
no."
Cui Li was disdainful and contemptuous of Wanyan Shouxu in his heart, thinking why can't you understand the words?
Although he was impatient in his heart, he still had a pious and respectful expression on his face and said: "Master Lang, I have something to say to you about committing a capital crime. Master Lang, you are going to be in big trouble. If you don't do anything right, you will be punished by a minor."
It’s harmed by people.”

When Wanyan Shouxu heard this, he was immediately startled. It was a matter of life and death, and Wanyan Shouxu did not dare not to take it seriously. He asked solemnly: "What do you mean by this?"
Cui Li said: "Master Lang, you have to be careful about Monk Wanyan Chen. If possible, it is best to kill him, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
Wanyan Shouxu was confused and asked: "Monk Wanyan Chen is our great hero of the Jin Dynasty. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid the Mongolian army would have come to Kaifeng. Why should I be wary of such a heroic general?"
Cui Li made a distressed look and said breathlessly in three sentences: "Master Lang, the terrifying thing about Monk Wanyan Chen lies in his bravery. He can kill Chi Laowen with only 400 people.
Defeated 8,000 elite Mongolian troops, can you control such a person? If Master Lang makes him unhappy one day, Master Lang, can you survive? Master Lang, don’t you have to please him all the time in your life? "
Cui Li's words made Wanyan Shouxu look solemn and cold, and he became suspicious of Monk Wanyan Chen!
