"Deputy Marshal, something bad has happened. Many assassins suddenly appeared below the cabin. Brothers, please come soon."
A Forbidden Army member ran down from the cabin in a panic, panting and speaking to Bi Zhan.
"assassin?"
Bi Zhan was a little dazed. This was the emperor's dragon ship. How could there be an assassin hiding underneath? This - this was unbelievable to him. He hurriedly led his troops over to find out.
boom!
Just as Bi Zhan came to a corner, he saw a guard flying out and hitting the guardrail hard.
Before he could wake up, another group of boatmen came out.
Swish, swish, swish!
Both sides drew their weapons and fought against each other.
"Who are you?"
Bi Zhan was shocked.
"Xiao Bi, why don't you even recognize me?"
I saw a middle-aged uncle carrying a giant sword and said with a smile.
"drunkard."
Bi Zhan looked at this person in shock.
"Drunkard, drunkard."
Ma Qiao suddenly jumped up when he saw the drunkard.
The drunkard grinned and said loudly: "Xiao Qiao, Mei Mei, you are here to teach me, don't be afraid."
As soon as these words came out, Jin Jun was reminded, and whoosh, two big knives were immediately placed on Lu Meimei's neck.
Ma Qiao's legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground. He said hurriedly: "You two heroes, please be merciful. Please be merciful."
Bi Zhan said: "Drunkard, if you don't want anything to happen to Lu Meimei, just hurry up and arrest her."
Ma Qiao hurriedly said: "Drunkard, put down your weapons quickly, put down your weapons quickly."
This kid is as stupid and cute as ever. The drunkard said: "Xiaoqiao, you are stupid. If you put down your weapon, wouldn't we become meat on the chopping board? You can't put this weapon down, you can't put it down."
Ma Qiao said anxiously: "There are privy envoys here, why are you here to join in the fun? If they hurt Meimei, I can't spare you."
The drunkard laughed and said: "The Privy Council asked us to do this."
"not good!"
Bi Zhan suddenly opened his eyes and said to the deputy general beside him: "You guys wait here, I'll go in and take a look first."
"yes."
Bi Zhan hurriedly came to the cabin, even sparing a briefing, but the scene inside was more than ten thousand times more terrifying than outside. He saw Qin Hui behind Zhao Kai holding a dagger against Zhao Kai's back.
, although the four guards on the side had drawn their weapons and surrounded Qin Hui and Li Qi, they did not dare to move. The emperor was in their hands. Although they were all top-notch masters, Qin Hui just
A scholar, but the problem is that Qin Hui is standing behind Zhao Kai, and they did not expect that Qin Hui would suddenly take out a dagger. Bi Zhan pointed at Qin Hui and said in horror: "Qin Shaozai, what do you want to do? Let me go now."
emperor."
This series of emergencies left him in a state of chaos.
Qin Hui smiled and said: "If I let the emperor go, who will let me go?"
"presumptuous."
Zhao Kai roared angrily: "Qin Hui, do you want to rebel?"
Qin Hui said: "Even if I borrow ten of Wei Chen's courage, Wei Chen will not dare to rebel. Wei Chen does not have the ability. Wei Chen just wants to survive."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Bi Zhan, don't be afraid, go out first, this is not the place for you to stay."
He could still walk, so Bi Zhan quickly drew out his sword.
Qin Hui smiled and said: "Bi Zhan, do you think it is the precious life and gold of me and the Privy Councilor, or the gold of the emperor's dragon body?"
Bi Zhan pointed at Qin Hui and said: "You bold traitor, let the emperor go quickly. Otherwise I won't spare you." Now he finally understood how the drunkards and the others got on the boat by acting as boatmen. It must have been arranged by Qin Hui, and he was the only one who could do it.
He has this ability.
Are you making a movie? Li Qi rolled his eyes and said to Zhao Kai, "Your Majesty, aren't you going to say a few words?"
Zhao Kai narrowed his eyes, glared with anger, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, very good, you traitors and traitors." After saying that, he waved his hand and said: "All of you, please step aside."
Bi Zhan said: "Your Majesty---."
Zhao Kai shouted: "Do you think you can save me standing here? Get back."
"As commanded."
Bi Zhan cupped his fists and said to Li Qi and Qin Hui: "If you dare to hurt the emperor at all, I guarantee that you will all die here."
Li Qi chuckled and said: "Bi Zhan, do you think I will be afraid of your threat? Be good and go out quickly. I have long said that this is not the place for you to stay. Oh, by the way, please don't hurt anyone outside."
He is my man. Hey, Xiao Qin, please be careful and don’t shake your hands. Don’t hurt the emperor."
There was no way, the emperor was in their hands, Bi Zhan could only threaten Li Qi with his eyes, and then slowly exited the cabin with the four Ouchi masters.
After they withdrew, Zhao Kai immediately said: "Qin Hui, I didn't expect you to betray me. I trust you so much in vain."
When Qin Hui heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he squinted his eyes and said with hatred: "Yes, Wei Chen is very grateful that the emperor trusts Wei Chen so much and has placed so many informants around Wei Chen to monitor Wei Chen's
With every move, Wei Chen is even more surprised that even Hu Yi, whom Wei Chen trusts the most, is actually sent by the emperor to monitor me. Wei Chen really cannot bear this trust!"
Zhao Kai frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
A flash of anger flashed in Qin Hui's eyes, and he said: "Your Majesty, do you still want to hide it now? A month ago, I, Qin Hui, was loyal to the Emperor and tried my best to help the Emperor manage domestic affairs until--until I
The night when we caught the economic envoy, huh, the emperor couldn't have imagined that the economic envoy had already told the minister everything."
"Economic envoy?"
Zhao Kai looked shocked and suddenly asked Li Qi: "Did you arrange this on purpose?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs."
Zhao Kai frowned and said to Qin Hui: "Qin Hui, you are so confused. How can you trust the words of traitors like them?"
"Yes, Weichen didn't believe it at the time, so Weichen went to investigate. However, after learning the truth, Weichen preferred to stay in the dark, because the truth was so terrible that Weichen still can't believe it.
Just a casual search revealed that the three closest confidants were all the emperor's people. Even Hu Yi was bribed by the emperor. The emperor knew every move, word and deed of his ministers. This was really terrifying.
To be honest, I was so scared that I couldn't sleep all night. I didn't know who to trust, and I didn't dare to trust anyone, even the emperor. Is this the trust you have in your ministers, your emperor?" Qin Hui said.
The eyes at the back were as wide open as possible.
Li Qi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, if you still want to hide it now, it will seem unworthy of an emperor."
Zhao Kai frowned and glanced at Li Qi, saying, "Have you known this for a long time?"
Li Qi chuckled: "It's a coincidence. I also placed someone beside Qin Hui a long time ago, but compared to the emperor, Wei Chen's methods seemed clumsy. Wei Chen started to do this very long ago.
He placed this chess piece, but in this case, it would be easily noticed by others, so Wei Chen was careful and careful, cautious and cautious. Only then did he place such a chess piece next to Qin Hui. In comparison, Your Majesty, you are much smarter.
The emperor directly bribed Qin Hui's cronies. Although Qin Hui is the prime minister, you are the emperor. The water flows down and people go up. Who doesn't want to be a follower of the dragon? In this way, it will be difficult for Qin Hui to notice
.But it was such a coincidence that one of the people the emperor bribed happened to be mine, so I was able to learn all this."
Zhao Kai was shocked. After a while, he sighed: "It's really up to people to make things happen, and God's plan to make things happen."
Li Qi nodded and said, "I quite agree with this statement."
Zhao Kai turned his head and said to Qin Hui: "I admit that I have a lot of spies around you, but as an emperor, isn't it right to be wary of every minister in the court? If you act upright and sit upright,
, you haven’t done anything sorry to me, so why should you be afraid? In the final analysis, you still have something wrong in your heart.”
Qin Hui laughed and said: "Your Majesty, you can only fool those nerds with your words. I dare to say that throughout the ages, no prime minister dares to say that he acts upright, sits upright, and has never harmed anyone.
.Has the Emperor ever thought about why there have always been factional disputes in all dynasties? That is because factionalism is part of the imperial court and is inseparable. It can even be said to be reasonable."
Zhao Kai said coldly: "Is it reasonable for you to frame Wang Zhongling and Li Gang?"
"certainly."
Qin Hui had almost no hesitation, "Weichen never felt that this was wrong."
Zhao Kai snorted: "It's ridiculous, you are all my ministers. If you all work together for the good of the Song Dynasty, how can there be clique fighting?"
“It is possible to work together, but is it possible to work together?”
Qin Hui smiled disdainfully and said: "May I ask your Majesty, whether Wang Anshi and Sima Guang are both virtuous prime ministers, and whether they wholeheartedly hope that the Song Dynasty will become more powerful?"
Zhao Kai said: "Of course it is, but don't compare yourself with these two wise ministers, you are not worthy."
"Can I, Qin Hui, compete with them?"
"You have such a loud tone."
"I, Qin Hui, have to be loud. In my opinion, when it comes to governing the country, the two of them together can be considered a wise prime minister."
Qin Hui snorted: "Wang Anshi is self-righteous, self-righteous, employs people poorly, and casts laws improperly. His reforms have indeed enriched the treasury, but the emperor must not forget where the money for the treasury comes from. It does not just appear for no reason, but
It is squeezed from the hands of the people. He just collects the wealth of the world to fill the national treasury. Isn't this killing the goose to get the eggs? This is doomed to fail.
The same was true for Prime Minister Sima Guangxian. He was headstrong and refused to obey anyone. After he took office, he abolished all Wang Anshi's new laws without retaining any of them. Although Wang Anshi's reforms had many inappropriate measures, there were also many that were worth retaining.
Regulations, many of the concepts of the current new law come from the new law changed by Wang Anshi, but Sima Guang used partial generalizations and abolished all the new laws. At that time, Su Shi, the great scholar of Su, repeatedly persuaded Sima Guang, hoping that he could retain some good regulations, but
Sima Guang refused to listen at all. Wei Chen even thought that Sima Guang was not targeting the new law at that time, but Wang Anshi himself.
However, neither of them cared about the people. The ups and downs of this new law resulted in extremely chaotic domestic tax laws, which made the Song Dynasty fall into poverty. Although the Supreme Emperor also had his faults, the real reason came from
The dispute between Sima Guang and Wang Anshi. No matter whether the old law is better, the new law is better, or even both are better, but if they are implemented alternately like this, the new law today and the old law tomorrow, the country and the people will not be able to bear it, but the two of them do have
Great talents, but they all stick to their own principles too much, think that they are right, and cannot adapt, so that they cause trouble in the city. That's why Wei Chen said that only the two of them can be considered a wise prime minister together.
.”
"As expected of my young master, he really has some insights." Zhao Kai smiled and said: "Since you look down on them so much, why do you use them to excuse yourself?"
"First of all, I don't look down on them. Secondly, I don't want to use them to excuse myself." Qin Hui shook his head and said, "I just want to use them to explain that clique fighting is inevitable, regardless of merit or demerit.
Wang Anshi and Sima Guang both wanted the good of the Song Dynasty, but they couldn't get along with each other. Not only could they not get along with each other, but they also became enemies because of it, and even became incompatible with each other. That's why Wei Chen said that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty could
We are of the same mind, but it is difficult to work together. This reason is very simple, and I think the Privy Council also knows it."
This guy must have a dry mouth. Li Qi smiled and said: "To put it simply, everyone has different opinions."
"Yes, that's exactly the reason."
Qin Huidao: "As the saying goes, if people have different paths, they will not work together. Those who hold the same views will naturally come together, which forms party members. The court's policy can only follow one thought, so holding opposing views will be a waste of time.
Become enemies, which leads to factional disputes. It does not mean that who is a traitor and who is a loyal minister, but that everyone thinks that the other party is wrong, and what they insist on is beneficial to the country, in order to make the country move on a more beneficial path.
, then you can only defeat colleagues with opposing views, or you will be defeated by the other party. However, everyone has his own ideas, and it is impossible for the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty to have the same ideas, so partisan disputes are inevitable.
Li Gang was upright and upright, but very rigid. He had to follow the rules in everything and did not know how to be flexible. However, in order to achieve his goals, Li Gang would do whatever it took. In order to achieve greater success, he would not hesitate to break the rules and be more rigid.
The so-called rules will only constrain oneself, and the two opinions are completely opposite. Therefore, Li Gang has always disliked Wei Chen's way of doing things, and targeted Wei Chen everywhere. Similarly, Wei Chen also disliked Li Gang's style of doing things. He
There is no room for a grain of sand in his eyes, and he would rather take more detours than break even a little bit of rules. Therefore, the dispute between Wei Chen and Li Gang is inevitable, so it depends on who can have the last laugh. He, Li Gang, is incompetent, no wonder
Wei Chen, because either he loses, or Wei Chen loses, there are only two outcomes.
As for Wang Zhongling, if the economic envoy hadn't targeted Wei Chen everywhere and wanted to win over Wang Zhongling and weaken Wei Chen's power in the three provinces and six ministries, Wei Chen would not have done so. If Wei Chen had just watched his power fall by the wayside, that would be Wei Chen.
Wei Chen also believes that there may be regret and hatred between Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, but there will never be guilt, because they both think they are right, and Wei Chen
I think so too."
Having said this, he sighed softly and said: "It's too cold at high places. Wei Chen is the prime minister. There are too many people who want to bring him down. Wei Chen has no way out.
Once he loses, not only Wei Chen but also Wei Chen's family will be punished. Wei Chen has no way to retreat. Therefore, Wei Chen must strike first and eliminate all enemies. This will not only protect Wei Chen but also his family.
The minister's position can also save the life of the minor minister. Oh, I believe Li Gang, Mao Shu, and Zheng Yi think the same way." (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
