What Qin Hui said was well-founded. Even Li Qi was impressed and very moved. In fact, he just asked Qin Hui to do this, but he did not elaborate on how to do it. It can be seen that Qin Hui wanted to do this.
It really took a lot of thought.
However, with these words, it can be said that Bai Qiannuo's appointment is a certainty.
Needless to say, Qin Hui has made it clear enough. Just because the three strongest forces in the DPRK today all agree, how can others dare to refute it? If you offended these three forces on the first day, then you will be in trouble in the future.
It's going to be a hard life, and he might even be released tomorrow.
Zhao Kai quickly glanced at Li Qi and saw a wicked smile on his lips. He cursed in his heart. No wonder he was full of confidence at the beginning. I see. Why didn't I think of this?
The fundamental reason why Li Qi succeeded so easily was because of the emptiness in the court. Those old ministers who held power were killed and dispatched. The people standing here now are all newcomers. They are not used to the power in this hall.
Rhythm, as a result, we encountered such a difficult problem, and the other party was Li Qi and Qin Hui, the two most eloquent guys, so they were definitely helpless.
If Jiang Daoyan, Li Bangyan, Wang Fu and others were here, the hope of success would not be so great. Even if Li Qi succeeded, he would have to pay a heavy price or exchange for benefits. It would never be as easy as it is now.
.
The ministers fell into silence. In fact, they had another best reason, that is, Bai Qiannuo is Bai Shizhong's woman, but the problem is that Bai Qiannuo is also Li Qi's wife. If anyone mentions this, then it is
If Li Qi and Bai Shizhong are to become a party, things will be complicated. No one is willing to go against Li Qi at this time. This is no different from seeking death.
Zhao Kai waited for a moment, and when no one spoke, he smiled slightly and said: "Qin Hui is right. I am indeed thirsty for talents now. As long as he is a talent, as long as he can help me revitalize the Song Dynasty, I will reuse him."
, and I hope you can recommend more talents to the court in the future. Based on this, I decided to appoint Bai Qiannuo as the economic envoy."
"The Emperor's Holy Ming."
The ministers shouted in unison.
Li Qi was completely relieved. In fact, it was not difficult for him to achieve this. On the contrary, he was more worried about Bai Qiannuo, because as the first official female official, Bai Qiannuo would face tremendous pressure.
You know, everyone's eyes will be focused on Bai Qiannuo by then. Bai Qiannuo must work ten times more than others in order to be recognized. Of course, it may be short-lived, although he can help some
Busy, but compared to the difficulties Bai Qiannuo faced, they were nothing to mention.
After discussing the matter, Zhao Kai made another speech on the issue of the royal family's atmosphere, which was nothing more than to abolish all the special laws of Song Huizong.
After retreating from the court.
After all the officials standing at the back had exited, the three big guys, Li Qi, Qin Hui, and Zheng Yi, slowly left the hall.
"Huh---! Zheng Erlang, Qin Hui, I really thank you just now." Li Qi smiled softly.
Zheng Yi said hurriedly: "My help is insignificant. The key is that Qin Xiang's words are so wonderful."
He was not being modest, his role was just to show his attitude, and the real new force was Qin Hui.
Li Qi looked at Qin Hui and said, "Thank you very much."
Qin Hui looked slightly frightened and said: "Your Majesty, your words are serious---."
"Stop it."
Li Qi raised his hand and said: "Damn! You are now the Young Master and you still call me Sir. You are trying to trick me. Don't say such things again."
Qin Hui was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "I'm used to this, and it's really hard to change my mind. But if it hadn't been for the promotion by the Privy Councilor, Qin Hui wouldn't have been able to sit in this position. Qin Hui has always been grateful."
Li Qidao: "Stop saying these words. Go to Zuixianju tonight and order some more dishes. I'll repay all the kindness you've shown me."
Qin Hui said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes."
At this time, a eunuch came over and said respectfully: "Three gentlemen, the emperor asked me to invite you to visit Chongzheng Hall."
The three of them looked at each other, but no one seemed to know the reason.
When they arrived at Chongzheng Hall, Zhao Kai was already waiting here. When he saw the three of them coming, he stretched out his hand and said, "Sit down."
The three of them sat down together.
Zhao Kai first looked at Li Qi angrily and said, "Okay, now you finally succeeded."
Li Qi accepted it and said: "Thanks to the emperor's openness, thank you, thank you very much. But I, Li Qi, can guarantee that the emperor will get a considerable reward for today's decision."
"I remember what you said. You two must have heard it clearly."
Qin and Zheng said in unison: "I heard you clearly."
Zhao Kai glared at Li Qi again, then coughed lightly and said: "Let's stop here first. I asked you to come because there is a more important matter that I want to discuss with you. Last night, there was news from Laizhou that Canada
An urgent letter, saying that Goryeo suddenly sent an envoy to the Song Dynasty, and he will arrive in Beijing soon."
Zheng Yi frowned and said: "Korea's mission must be because of the Kingdom of Jin."
Qin Hui nodded and said: "As for the Jin Kingdom and Goryeo's battle for Baozhou, I have heard a little about it. In fact, Baozhou has always been under the control of Goryeo. The problem is that the Jin Kingdom has never acknowledged it. This move of the Jin Kingdom is nothing more than
We want to force Goryeo to surrender, and Goryeo is using the Jin Kingdom to send troops to the Song Dynasty to increase its troops to protect the state. Obviously, it does not want to surrender to the Jin Kingdom, but their national strength is not as good as the Jin Kingdom. I think they are coming to us for help."
Zhao Kai hummed and said: "I think so too, but the problem is that we have just signed an alliance with the Kingdom of Jin, should we help you with this?"
As soon as these words came out, they all looked at Li Qi.
Zhao Kai said again: "Li Qi, you have arranged this a long time ago. What do you think we should do?"
Li Qi said with a smile: "Wei Chen made this arrangement just to let Goryeo restrict the Kingdom of Jin. However, Goryeo's strength alone cannot compete with the Kingdom of Jin. Unless we no longer need Goryeo's restraint, we must do this favor."
.”
Zheng Yidao: "But if we do this, the Kingdom of Jin will definitely take the opportunity to attack us."
Li Qi chuckled and said: "Third Secretary, haven't you ever heard that doing good deeds does not leave a name?"
Qin Hui frowned and said, "You mean, we help in secret?"
"Exactly." Li Qidao said: "But it is quite difficult for us now. It is difficult for us to shoulder the responsibility alone, and we have to recruit a third party to help."
"Third party?" Zhao Kai asked doubtfully, "What do you mean?"
"Japan."
Li Qidao: "In the good plan I made long ago, I must first promote the alliance between Goryeo and the Japanese samurai. I believe that everyone must have heard about the differences between the Japanese samurai and the Japanese aristocrats. Compared with the Japanese aristocrats, the Japanese samurai are still
They are in a weak position. They also need allies. They hit it off with Korea and they need each other. In the early years, I have arranged for them to meet several times, and the effect is very good. We can let Japan send people, we can send weapons, and we can send ships.
They suffered huge losses in this battle with us. It is impossible for them to dare to spend huge costs to attack Goryeo. I think the Jin Kingdom is just trying to scare Goryeo. The most they can do is send some troops to try. As long as Goryeo can resist, then the Jin Kingdom
The country will definitely not be willing to waste time with Goryeo."
"I see."
Zhao Kai smiled and said: "I have always wanted to ask you about your plans in this area. Take this opportunity to tell them all."
"yes."
Li Qidao: "In my plan, what we need to do now is to isolate the Jin Kingdom and form a military alliance with Goryeo, the Japanese samurai group, and Xixia."
"Xixia?"
The other three people exclaimed at the same time.
Li Qi asked in astonishment: "Is there anything I can't do?"
Zhao Kai said speechlessly: "What's wrong? Xixia has already surrendered to the Kingdom of Jin. Don't tell me you don't know?"
Li Qi laughed.
Zhao Kai said: "Why are you laughing?"
Li Qidao: "Xi Xia also professed its tribunalship to us, the Liao Kingdom, and the Jin Kingdom before. This is not credible at all."
Zheng Yi nodded and said: "Having said that, after all, Xixia has formally surrendered to the Jin Kingdom, and we are allies with the Jin Kingdom. How can we form an alliance with Xixia? This is not feasible."
"Yes, what you said makes sense, so before that we must let Xixia become independent."
"ah?"
The three of them were stunned again.
Li Qi explained: "Self-establishment as king has always been a pain in Xixia's heart. They have always wanted to be recognized by neighboring countries, but the problem is that their country is only so big. Whether it is the Song Dynasty or the Liao Kingdom, they all want to swallow it up." This piece of meat, but precisely because of this, no one can swallow it, but Xixia must deal with these two big countries. Proclaiming ministers is their diplomatic method, but they still proclaim themselves kings in private. This shows that in their hearts, they still We really want to become a normal country, so we can take this opportunity to win over Xixia, let him break away from the Jin Kingdom, give him guarantees, recognize his status, and use the relationship between countries to build a relationship with Goryeo and Japan. It is a military alliance, and we can use some political means to get Byzantium, Dashi and other countries to recognize the status of Xixia. What is the point of them following a poor country like the Jin Kingdom and messing with our Song Dynasty? What an idea. Faced with With so many temptations, Xixia will definitely choose to leave the Kingdom of Jin."
Qin Hui nodded and said: "Not only that, this time Xixia has obviously violated the orders of the Jin Kingdom, which will also create a gap between them."
Zhao Kai said: "But how could the Jin Kingdom be willing to let Xixia become its own king?"
Li Qi said with a smile: "The Kingdom of Jin has too much time to take care of itself. Firstly, it has to deal with Goryeo, and secondly, it has to worry about Yelu Dashi's comeback. Moreover, they can't bear the repeated battles. This is Xixia's best opportunity. If they don't leave at this time, In the Kingdom of Jin, it will be even more difficult in the future. I believe that the monarch of Xixia will cherish this opportunity."
Zhao Kai was right when he thought about it. He laughed and said: "Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! This is how Jin Taizu destroyed the Liao Dynasty. Why don't we follow suit? If this is the case, then I will order people to rush to Xixia and Japan later. They sent envoys to the Song Dynasty."
"I don't think this is necessary." Li Qi smiled.
Zhao Kai said: "Why is this?"
Li Qidao: "Although Xixia sent troops this time in obedience to the orders of the Jin Kingdom, they still sent out troops after all. They have cut off contact with me, the Song Dynasty. Their salt must be piled up now, and so must their monarch." I'm so anxious that I'm about to hang myself. I guess the Xixia envoy is already on the way. As for Japan, in order to match the time of Goryeo, I had already sent people from Laizhou when I was in Yanyun, but I forgot to mention, Your Majesty Don’t blame me for not notifying you in advance.”
Zhao Kai laughed loudly, waved his hands and said: "I said at the beginning that you have full authority to make all decisions about Yanyun. You don't need to ask me for instructions. How can I blame you?"
After that, he pondered for a while and said: "No matter what, this matter will never come to the table, and it will be hard for me to come forward. So, Li Qi and Qin Hui, I will leave this negotiation to you two."
