Xu Zizhen came to his senses, looked around with his hands behind his back, and asked: "Master Qin, are you going to talk to me about life and ideals here?"
Even though the Qin Yushi was very intelligent and knowledgeable, he was a bit confused about Xu Zizhen's way of speaking. It took him a long time to understand, and he coughed slightly and said sideways: "Mr. Xu, please come in and have tea."
Xu Zizhen was not polite. He walked into the room and sat down. Not long after, Butler Qin served him a cup of fragrant tea, then turned around and left, closing the door.
There was silence everywhere, with only Qin Hui and Xu Zizhen in the room. Xu Zizhen took a sip of tea, raised his head and said, "Master Qin came to me this time to ask me to pay for your brother's life?"
Qin Hui shook his head, and there was no trace of anger on his face. He just said lightly: "My brother acted recklessly and recklessly. He died at the hands of Mr. Xu and it was his own fault. He cannot blame anyone else."
Xu Zizhen did not expect that the traitor would be so polite, and asked again: "Is that... to claim the life of his nephew on Wang Fu's behalf?"
Qin Hui said: "Shen Zongwei kidnapped the women of the people to please the Jin people. Mr. Xu's removal of him is really a very popular move. The people admire him so much that there is no need to say anything about threatening his life."
Xu Zizhen couldn't hold himself back anymore: "Then why does Mr. Qin make people wait to catch me? It can't be as simple as just inviting me to drink, right?"
Qin Hui smiled: "Young Master Xu was joking. I sincerely invite you to have a chat with me, so why talk about the word "catching"?"
Xu Zizhen stopped asking, and even simply moved his buttocks to sit more comfortably, crossed his legs, and looked at Qin Hui with a half-smile.
This is the only bad thing about talking to a scholar. He is too docile and uncomfortable, and it makes you really anxious to wait for him to introduce the topic. It is better not to say anything, wait for him to get anxious, and let him get to the topic first.
Sure enough, Qin Hui couldn't hold himself back after a moment of silence. He coughed dryly and asked, "I heard that Mr. Xu has a close personal relationship with His Royal Highness. I wonder if this is the case?"
Xu Zizhen nodded: "Yes."
Qin Hui was waiting for Xu Zizhen to say something more, but Xu Zizhen only said one word, and then still looked at him without speaking. The look on his face was clearly a bit playful, as if he had guessed his intention.
He frowned slightly, as if he was considering an extremely important issue. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Master Xu, I have a request from you. I hope you can grant it."
Finally got to the point!
Xu Zizhen secretly laughed in his heart. In fact, he was also eager to know what kind of medicine Qin Hui was selling in his gourd, but he still pretended to be indifferent on his face, nodded and said: "Master Qin is too polite, I can't say whether you are asking for it or not. I
I’ll do my best to help you if I can.”
This is a very tactful thing to say. Those who can help will try their best to help. As for the concept of whether it can be done or not, it is not Xu Zizhen who has the final say?
Qin Hui didn't seem to hear the mystery. Instead, his eyes lit up. He stood up and bowed his body first. Xu Zizhen was shocked. The traitor suddenly saluted so seriously. What kind of trouble was going on?
I heard Qin Hui say extremely seriously: "The Jin people are unfaithful and broke the alliance without authorization and invaded the south again. If we, the Song Dynasty, are a huge country, and the whole country can counterbalance it, how can a mere Jurchen barbarian tribe be an opponent?"
Xu Zizhen tried hard to translate this passage into vernacular in his mind, but his face remained calm.
Qin Hui suddenly sighed: "Young Master used to resist the Xia soldiers in Lanzhou and intimidated the Jin soldiers in Taiyuan. He was passionate and strong-willed and strong-willed. He was really a role model for men in the Song Dynasty. But now there is no one in the court who can match the integrity of the Young Master."
, the Jin people are approaching the city with their troops, but no one thinks about defending against the enemy. Instead, there is a cry for peace. They don’t think about protecting their home and country, and they are willing to commit themselves to slavery. It’s sad, sad!”
At this point, he grabbed Xu Zizhen's hands and said sincerely and earnestly: "I'm so shameless, please advise Your Highness the Crown Prince. The Jin people are just tribal bandits. If we attack them with all our strength, they will be defeated."
Xu Zizhen was stunned when he heard this, his eyes were as wide as bells, his mouth was wide open, and he looked at Qin Hui in disbelief.
He finally understood the meaning of this sentence. First, he was greeted with a lot of flattery, and then he turned to be pitiful. Finally, he was actually asked to persuade the prince Zhao Huan, in order to... resist the Jin Dynasty?
Is this Qin Hui? Is this really Qin Hui, the most treacherous official in history? This guy actually advocates resistance to the Jin Dynasty? Is it because of the appearance of Lao Tzu that history has changed, with Qin Hui becoming a good man and Yue Fei becoming a treacherous official?
Seeing that he was silent, Qin Hui thought that Xu Zizhen was thinking about it, so he quickly said: "If the young master agrees, I will ask to see His Royal Highness King Kang and Prince Gao of Kaiping again, and ask them to advocate against the Jin Dynasty among the leaders of the court. Then they will definitely...
…”
Xu Zizhen raised his hand to interrupt him: "You mean to ask me to ask Zhao Huan to fight against the Jin Dynasty?"
Qin Hui was startled when he heard him address the prince by his first name, but then he became happy again. Doesn't this mean that the relationship between Xu Zizhen and the prince is unusual?
"Exactly!"
"You still want to go to Master Qi and Master Yong to argue against the Jin in the court?"
"Exactly!"
"Oh." Xu Zizhen asked two questions and then lost his voice. He sat there with his head lowered and playing with the tea cup in his hand.
Qin Hui waited for a while and saw that there was no follow-up, so he couldn't help but ask again: "Mr. Xu, what do you think?"
Xu Zizhen drank the tea in one gulp, put the tea cup down, and simply replied with two words: "No!"
"This..." Qin Hui didn't expect that he would give such an answer, and was dumbfounded for a moment.
According to rumors, although Xu Zizhen was the Prince Consort of Xixia, as a Song man he had always fought against the Jin people, and he was a hot-blooded and iron-hearted man who never compromised. Qin Hui originally wanted to come to Xu Zizhen to talk about this matter, and they should have made it right once they talked, but Wan
I never expected that he would actually refuse, and the refusal would be so straightforward, without any room for maneuver.
Xu Zizhen sneered in his heart and asked Zhao Huan to give him advice? I'm full of food. He already knows what kind of virtue Zhao Huan is. He is cowardly and incompetent and can't stand being scared. Even if he bites the bullet and agrees to resist the gold for the time being, what will be broken by then?
He still has to talk to the Jinren, so what's the need?
Besides, Zhao Huan is the same as his father Zhao Ji. He can do anything except the emperor. If such a person continues to control the Song Dynasty, he will be defeated sooner or later. Rather than doing this, it is better to stick to the original plan. Bianjing must be destroyed, and Jingkang must be destroyed.
It's harder than it should be. The world today is in such a state of ruin that we can simply let him die and then rebuild a brand new Southern Song Dynasty... Oh no, just a strong Song Dynasty.
Xu Zizhen stood up, patted Qin Hui on the shoulder, and said sincerely: "Master Qin, thank you for letting me see the real Qin Hui, but you must know that no one can change the trajectory of history. You can't,
I, too, cannot say goodbye!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the house, walking away, leaving a confused Qin Hui standing there, murmuring and repeating: "The real Qin Hui? The trajectory of history?"
