He looked ashamed and said: "Wei Chen himself does not feel any regrets. The words and deeds of the chief minister are not the actions of the officials. Although Wei Chen is a person who speaks lightly, he also has his ambitions. As a minister, he will eat the emperor's salary and perform the emperor's duties. If he cannot do it,
When I arrive, I can just leave my seal and return to my hometown...but my wife and daughter at home will suffer, which makes Weichen feel uncomfortable."
Li Chen smiled and was noncommittal.
Li Chen most likely didn't believe this statement.
If Zhao Heshan had enough backbone, he should have resigned directly when he was demoted. Whether Zhao Xuanji or Emperor Daxing could have stopped him.
To put it bluntly, as Zhao Heshan himself realized, he was just cannon fodder. Zhao Xuanji failed to invest in him. In the eyes of Emperor Daxing, the label of Zhao Xuanji could no longer be washed away, so neither party paid much attention to it.
he.
But people who have never tasted power don't know how good it is, but once you have tasted it, you know its taste and it's hard to let it go.
Zhao Heshan is not a saint, and he cannot bear the taste of power.
Maybe he is in the river, but his heart is still longing for the capital.
Otherwise, why would Zhao Rui come all the way from Hejian to join Zhao Xuanji?
Everything Zhao Rui did, to put it bluntly, was just for Zhao Heshan, his father, to make a comeback.
Zhao Heshan's words sounded nice, but Li Chen listened to half of them and threw away the other half.
Zhao Heshan, who had served as a royal walker beside Emperor Daxing and had experience and enthusiasm for guessing his superiors, seemed to see something from Li Chen's performance. He gritted his teeth, clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, don't you believe it?"
Li Chen smiled and said: "Master Zhao, where do you start with these words?"
Zhao Heshan said in a deep voice: "Back then, although the conflict between Wei Chen and the Chief Assistant had always existed, it never reached a complete breakdown. But what really turned us against each other was when Wei Chen went to see the Chief Assistant and heard something outside the door.
He ordered his confidants to have an affair with the enemy country!"
When these words came out, the atmosphere in Xi Zheng Palace suddenly sank.
"Zhao Heshan, do you know how important this matter is, and how much trouble it will cause if you are just talking nonsense?" Li Chen asked sternly.
Li Chen's power is now getting stronger and stronger, and the power of the human king has begun to take shape. Zhao Heshan felt as if his whole body had been stripped naked and thrown into the ice and snow. The biting cold and the depression that made him even have trouble breathing made him feel in a trance.
It seems like I have returned to the horror of Emperor Daxing's anger when he was the imperial minister more than ten years ago.
There was no time to organize too many words, Zhao Heshan said hurriedly: "Wei Chen is no longer a three-year-old child, how can he not know the stakes of this matter? It is precisely because of knowing that he has kept silent for many years and dared not mention it to anyone.
, but all the things that happened that day often wake up Wei Chen in the middle of the night, everything seems like yesterday, Wei Chen always remembers it in his heart and dare not forget it. "
A sharp light flashed in Li Chen's eyes, and he said: "Which country do you call the enemy, and with whom do you mean the fornication?"
Zhao Heshan said solemnly: "The enemy country is the Liao Kingdom, our century-old enemy of the Qin Dynasty. The person Zhao Xuanji is having an affair with is the current Prime Minister of the Liao Kingdom, Wanyan Zaidao."
"At that time, Wei Chen only heard a few words outside the study and was not sure. Later, after the incident, only two months later, the conflict between the Liao Kingdom and Da Qin broke out at Yumen Pass. The Liao Kingdom actually obtained the defense map of Yumen Pass at that time, and even more so
The most important thing about knowing the patrol time is that the guard of Yumen Gate was changing at that time."
"These are the top secrets of the empire, but the Liao Kingdom knows it very well. Eighteen thousand light cavalry broke through Yumen Pass. Our soldiers were killed and injured at 23,621 people, and the civilians were killed and injured at 44,699 people. Ten
The town was slaughtered, and the murder took place for seven days. The blood stained the yellow sand at Yumen Pass and has not faded for ten years. This incident is the tragedy of the empire!"
