Chapter 270: The Two Saints Return to the Dynasty (8000 words)
Wan Yansheng frowned as he listened to the Jin envoy's report.
"I know, you can go down."
After sending away the Jin envoy, he looked at Wan Yanxian beside him: "Han Fuyue agreed not to give up Taiyuan, but he wanted two emperors.
"You said...what does he mean?"
Wan Yansheng was also puzzled and didn't know what General Han Fuyue was thinking.
The internal attitude of the Jin people towards these two emperors was also constantly changing.
The two emperors and all the royal family and ministers were kidnapped during the initial Jingping Incident, mainly to attack the center of the Qi Dynasty and prevent the Qi Dynasty from organizing a dominant political power and court. In this way, the Jin people
It will become much easier to slowly annex Qi Dynasty in the future.
But the Ninth Prince fled to the south and ascended the throne, causing the Jin people's attempt to fail.
That's why Wan Yansheng carried out the search for mountains and seas, trying to repeat the same trick, and carried out a beheading operation against Qi Gaozong, and once again destroyed the command center of the Qi Dynasty.
It's just that he failed.
So in this case, the two emperors Qi Huizong and Qi Yingzong were a bit useless in their hands.
It's a pity to throw it away, and it's tasteless to eat.
The Jin people obviously realized that these two emperors were useful, so they never killed them, but imprisoned them in Five Kingdoms City. But how to use them specifically? After some internal tossing, the Jin people still couldn't think of a good solution.
method.
To say that the greatest use of these two emperors was actually to influence the legitimacy of Qi Gaozong's rule.
For example, the Jin people had previously considered making Qi Huizong or Qi Yingzong the emperors of the Pseudo-Chu. Letting them rule the regions of the Pseudo-Chu would be justified on the one hand, and it would reduce the resistance in these places, and on the other hand, it would also make it difficult for Qi Gaozong to sleep and eat.
, affecting the legitimacy of his rule.
But this idea ultimately failed to materialize.
Because after careful consideration, the Jin people discovered that this method looks beautiful, but in actual operation, it is probably not the case.
Since they were asked to become emperors of the puppet regime, they must be under the strict control and supervision of the Jin people.
In this way, the Qi Dynasty could claim that the two emperors were imprisoned by the Jin people and could not handle political affairs personally, so they still had to continue fighting to rescue the two saints.
But what if the Jin people really gave these two emperors some governing power?
Maybe these two emperors would turn against each other when the time comes, and they would not feel comfortable being puppets.
After all, these two emperors were different from the pseudo-Chu emperor Liu Yu.
Liu Yu was a traitor to the Qi Dynasty, and basically everyone in the Qi Dynasty wanted to beat him up. Apart from relying on the Kingdom of Jin and kneeling down to lick the Kingdom of Jin, he had no other way to go.
But Qi Huizong and Qi Yingzong were the emperors of the Qi Dynasty after all, and there would be countless ministers trying to persuade them to return to the Qi Dynasty or fight against the Jin Dynasty.
Even if the Jin people send some people to keep an eye on them, they may be suddenly killed by a coup.
All in all, I can't rest assured.
So after thinking about it, the Jin people vaguely realized that these two emperors were useful, but they still couldn't find a suitable use, so they kept putting it off.
In history, both emperors died of old age in Five Kingdoms City.
But in this slice of history, their fate will change because of Zhao Haiping.
Wan Yanxian pondered for a long time and said: "General Han Fuyue's Zhaoyi Army is actually in a state of accepting orders but not obeying orders. In addition to being nominally a minister of the Qi Dynasty, it seems to be a separate force.
"So I think Han Fuyue wanted these two Qi Dynasty emperors not for himself.
"There is no need for him to invite two fathers back to him."
Wan Yansheng nodded in agreement.
Anyone with normal intelligence can see this.
If General Han Fuyue's initial refusal of orders can be interpreted as an act of disobedience out of loyalty to the emperor, then now he continues to regain the old territory of Puppet Chu but has no intention of handing it over to the Qi Dynasty. It is completely governed by the Zhaoyi Army.
This intention is already obvious.
Real rebellion is only a matter of shouting.
Then it was impossible for General Han Fuyue to keep these two emperors with him, because it made no sense. He was still a minister of the Qi Dynasty in name, so why did he invite his two biological fathers?
When the time comes, if he doesn't listen to these two people, the world will say that Han Fuyue is a traitor and a traitor. If he listens to these two people, won't he make himself uncomfortable?
The method of using the emperor to command the princes also depends on the age and the specific situation, right?
There is also a Qi Gaozong in the south whose upright teachings are recognized throughout the country. If you hold the emperor hostage to order the princes, you are treating everyone in the world as mentally retarded.
Wan Yanxian concluded: "So, Han Fuyue may want to send these two people... back to the Qi Dynasty."
Wan Yansheng couldn't help but his eyes lit up: "Send back to Qi Dynasty?
"You mean... Han Fuyue actually had the idea of disrupting the Qi court?
"Even...he wants to prepare to destroy Qi?"
Wan Yanxian nodded slightly: "It's very possible!"
Wan Yansheng couldn't help but stand up and take a few steps, the expression on his face became a little excited.
Why did the idea of sending the Second Saint back to the Qi Dynasty be to destroy Qi?
This conclusion requires a few twists and turns, but it is actually not difficult to understand.
These two emperors were a hot potato for the Zhaoyi Army and the Qi Dynasty.
Although Qi Gaozong shouted that he wanted to welcome back the Second Saint, in his heart he was more afraid than anyone else that the Second Saint would really come back. However, under the ethical principles of ancient feudal society, he had to shout.
This was the highest political correctness of that era.
General Han Fuyue actually knew this very well, so his call to welcome back the Second Saint was also a political gesture made by Qi Gaozong.
In fact, General Han Fuyue privately advised the emperor to establish a prince early for the sake of Qi Gaozong. Let him determine the legal heir as soon as possible and find the prince from the Taizu lineage. Then even if the two emperors come back, the throne will still be held.
Qi Gaozong's intention was passed down.
It's a pity that Qi Gaozong is a fool.
There are obviously many ways to solve this problem, but he chose the stupidest one.
If Han Fuyue was still a minister of the Qi Dynasty, then he would never mention the matter of welcoming back the Second Saint. Because the specific way to sign the peace agreement would definitely have to be decided by Qi Gaozong, and Han Fuyue would not be able to overstep his authority.
But now, Han Fuyue wants to bring these two emperors back, and he certainly won't stay in Zhaoyi's army.
It must be sent to Qi Dynasty!
This was tantamount to stabbing Qi Gaozong in his weakness, and Qi Gaozong could only cry and say thank you.
More importantly, without the assistance of General Han Fuyue and without the military success of recovering the Central Plains, Qi Gaozong's rule will be seriously lacking in legitimacy. At that time, out of the ethics of a king, a minister, a father, a son, and a son, Qi Gaozong will inevitably make continuous decisions.
The gesture was to return power to Qi Huizong or Qi Yingzong, and the latter might refuse to accept it at first, but who knows what will happen as time goes on?
Even if these two emperors did not want the throne, Qi Gaozong would not give up the throne, but what about the ministers around Qi Gaozong?
Is there anyone who wants to support these two emperors and have someone who has achieved great success by supporting them?
When the time comes, will Qi Gaozong have the ability and skill of Liang Taizong to directly put the two emperors under house arrest and always keep the power of the government firmly in his hands?
The conclusions on these questions are probably not very optimistic.
If he were a wise and powerful emperor, this wouldn't be a problem. But these three emperors are just novices. When novices are pecking at each other, any accident may happen.
In short, General Han Fuyue's move was equivalent to sending a time bomb to the Qi Dynasty.
Over time, civil strife will inevitably break out in the Qi Dynasty.
And why did General Han Fuyue's Zhaoyi Army want to cause civil strife in the Qi Dynasty?
It's hard to explain this clearly.
…
The more Wan Yansheng thought about it, the more he felt it was good.
"What a good thing! These two emperors are indeed not of much use in our hands, but if they are placed in the Qi Dynasty, they can really cause chaos in the Qi Dynasty and make Zhaoyi's army fight with the Qi Dynasty. Then wouldn't I, Da Jin,
Can we just reap the profits?"
In fact, in the original history, the Jin people could do this.
It's just that their political abilities are too weak to think of this.
The two emperors remained in their hands and played no role at all. On the contrary, Qi Gaozong and General Han Fuyue could still shout the slogan "Welcome back the two saints" to encourage people.
Then, wouldn't it be enough to simply send these two emperors back?
Since Qi Gaozong was most afraid of these two emperors returning, the Jin people should do this even more.
On the one hand, this will make the Qi Dynasty no longer have the confidence to shout the slogan "Welcome back the two saints", which will greatly reduce their willingness to regain the old land. On the other hand, the two ultimate wastes of Qi Huizong and Qi Yingzong will be paired with Qi Gaozong and Qin Huizong.
In short, with four losers in one drama, how wonderful was the Qi Dynasty's court?
By then, I'm afraid the words "demons dancing wildly" will be unable to describe it.
Of course, Qi Gaozong might not sit still and wait for death. He would try every means to prevent the two emperors from returning.
Just like he refused to accept his brothers and sisters.
But if the gold man really wants to give it away, there are many ways.
For example, wouldn't it be enough to directly dispatch an army to escort it with great fanfare and make everyone aware of it?
Could Qi Gaozong still risk the disapproval of the world and send troops to fight? Or, when the two emperors arrived in Qi Dynasty, could they not accept them?
When the time comes, he will only be drowned by Tumo Xingzi.
After all, Qi Huizong and Qi Yingzong were completely different from those ordinary princes and princesses.
Qi Gaozong could ignore his brothers and sisters, but he could never ignore his own father and brother.
It can only be said that in the original history, Qi Gaozong and the Jin people could be said to be rivals at this point, and they were novices at each other.
Therefore, Qi Huizong and Qi Yingzong, the two emperors who were supposed to shine brilliantly in the history after Jingping, and who were notorious for thousands of years, ended up dying in the Five Kingdoms City without exerting their due destructive power.
But now the situation is different.
After Zhao Haiping's reminder, Wan Yansheng also came to his senses.
In exchange for these two useless emperors, Taiyuan City is still in their hands, in exchange for civil strife that may break out in the Qi Dynasty, in exchange for the possibility of Han Fuyue and the Qi Dynasty meeting each other in war...
What a deal!
Thinking of this, Wan Yansheng immediately made the decision: "Okay! Let's do it like this, hand over the two emperors to Han Fuyue and let him return them to the Qi Dynasty!"
…
…
"The guilty minister, Han Fuyue, pays homage to the Supreme Emperor, pays homage to Emperor Yuansheng, and pays homage to the Queen Mother!"
After Qi Gaozong ascended the throne, he respected Qi Yingzong as Emperor Xiaociyuan, so this was also considered the official title of Qi Yingzong at this time.
Zhao Haiping bowed respectfully in front of the car.
To be honest, he didn't have a good impression of these two emperors at all.
But there is no other way, after all, you have to do a complete set when acting.
As a player of "Dark Sand", acting skills are essential.
Qi Yingzong, who was tired and wasting away day by day, looked very good. He hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhao Haiping up: "General Han, please get up quickly!
"Without General Han's bloody battle, how could I and others be able to return to our homeland? I'm afraid we would have died of old age in a foreign land!"
In another car, a lady in her fifties said with joy on her face: "Is this General Big Eyes? What a talented person, worthy of being the leader of the country!"
The scene was simply a touching scene.
It's just that Zhao Haiping's performance was staged, but the Second Saint and Queen Mother Wei showed their true feelings.
They really appreciate it.
This noble lady in her late fifties was the biological mother of the Ninth Prince Qi Gaozong, Empress Dowager Wei.
According to historical records, Queen Mother Wei was unjustly killed by General Han Fuyue and after Qi and Jin signed a peace treaty, she was released to the Qi Dynasty by the Jin people at the repeated request of Qi Gaozong.
For Qi Gaozong, his brother Qi Yingzong must never come back, but bringing back his biological mother can show his filial piety, and it will not shake his throne, but can make the throne more stable.
So very positive.
When Empress Dowager Wei returned to the capital, she asked Qi Gaozong: Why don't you meet General Big Eyes?
It is said that General Han Fuyue has one big eye and one small eye, so he is also called the Big Eyed General.
Qi Gaozong could only answer "death in prison". Empress Dowager Wei was immediately furious and said on the spot that she would become a monk to atone for Qi Gaozong's sins. Under Qi Gaozong's pleading, Empress Dowager Wei did not become a monk, but only wore Taoist uniforms in the palace for the rest of her life.
.
The reason is that General Han Fuyue is too famous.
His illustrious reputation for achieving several great victories made the Jin people fear him and often mentioned him. Therefore, even Queen Mother Wei, who was far away in the Jin Kingdom, often heard of General Han Fuyue's illustrious military exploits and wanted to see him as soon as he returned to the Qi Dynasty.
See.
As for the two emperors Qi Huizong and Qi Yingzong, their moods at this time were similar to those of Queen Mother Wei.
In fact, according to the true situation in history, Qi Huizong had passed away five years ago. When the Empress Dowager Wei was welcomed back, Qi Huizong's Zi Palace, which was the coffin, was also returned.
But in this slice of history, Qi Huizong lived longer than in real history. Although he was already old and suffering from diseases, when he heard that he had the opportunity to return to his hometown, he persevered and even showed some signs of coming back.
.
As for Qi Yingzong, his mentality at this time is that as long as he can return to the Qi Dynasty, he is willing to do anything!
Historical records record that when Empress Dowager Wei was welcomed back to the Qi Dynasty, Qi Yingzong took Empress Dowager Wei's hand and begged: "If you can let me return to the south, just let me be the master of Taiyi Palace. For Jiu Ge (Qi Gaozong)
) has no other requirements!”
It can be seen that Qi Yingzong also knew in his heart that Qi Gaozong absolutely did not want him to go back. The possibility of him returning to the Qi Dynasty was extremely slim.
When he returns to the Qi Dynasty, even if he can no longer be the emperor, at least he will be a carefree royal relative, which is much better than being humiliated every day here in Jinren.
Therefore, Qi Huizong, Qi Yingzong and Queen Mother Wei, three crucial figures, were all grateful to General Han Fuyue.
After all, for such a long time, all kinds of rumors have spread to the Kingdom of Jin. They vaguely heard that after General Han Fuyue achieved several great victories, Qi Gaozong suddenly wanted to withdraw his troops. It was General Han Fuyue who withstood the pressure, and without the Qi Dynasty
With logistical support, another great victory was achieved in Zhuxian Town.
And the reason why they were able to return to the Qi Dynasty this time was not because of Qi Gaozong, but because of General Han Fuyue.
This article was not written in the peace negotiation between Qi and Jin, but was written in the peace negotiation between Zhaoyi Army and Jin.
These people know exactly who fished them out.
At this time, facing General Han Fuyue, who was still willing to respect his ministerial duties, they were naturally grateful.
Zhao Haiping couldn't help but sigh, sometimes people are like this.
It is said that Yi and Di are beasts, fearful of power and not virtuous. So why are these dog emperors not like that?
He had no doubt that if Qi Huizong and Qi Yingzong were to sit in Qi Gaozong's seat, General Han Fuyue would probably not have any good results. Even if he was not killed unjustly, at best he would die in depression.
But after the two emperors were kidnapped to the Kingdom of Jin and suffered a lot, when they faced General Han Fuyue, who respected his troops and refused to listen to his orders, they burst into tears of gratitude and felt closer to each other than to their biological father.
In short, after the performance, Zhao Haiping temporarily left the Second Saint's car in Daming Mansion.
At this time, Zhao Haiping had stationed the main force of Zhaoyi Army in Daming Mansion, serving as the de facto capital.
Dongping is the capital of the Puppet Chu. Zhao Haiping was stationed there before, just to digest the account books and information left by the Puppet Chu as quickly as possible, and to fully take over the Puppet Chu's ruling area. But Dongping is too far away after all.
There are only two places that are more suitable as the capital. One is Daliang, the original capital of Qi Dynasty, and the other is Damingfu, the former capital of the north.
Pseudo-Chu did not stay in Daming Mansion because the resistance among the people in Daming Mansion was too strong, and for Zhao Haiping, this was actually an advantage.
As for why I didn’t go to Daliang, the capital of the previous Qi Dynasty...
Because this is the old capital of the Qi Dynasty, the political connotation is too strong. If the Zhaoyi Army really chooses this place, the intention of seeking to usurp the throne is a bit too obvious, and it is too far to the south, and it is easy for the Qi Dynasty to have some bad associations.
Therefore, in the end, Damingfu, which was closer to the Jin people, was chosen to indicate that the Zhaoyi Army's main goal was to go north to fight against the Jin people.
That night, Zhao Haiping hosted a banquet in honor of the guests.
After the two emperors and Queen Mother Wei rested in Daming Mansion for two or three days, they would send someone to escort them to the south and present them to Qi Gaozong.
At the banquet, the two emperors and the queen mother naturally sat on the throne of honor, and General Han Fuyue, played by Zhao Haiping, treated them respectfully and with the courtesy of courtiers.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, and the atmosphere of the scene was almost heightened, Zhao Haiping knelt down on the ground with a bang at the banquet and said with tears in his eyes: "The guilty minister deserves death!"
Qi Yingzong was a little panicked, and hurriedly left the table and helped Zhao Haiping up: "General Han, please get up quickly! Why is this?"
Qi Huizong was old and sick, and now he was breathing heavily when walking. It was inconvenient for Empress Dowager Wei to leave the table, but they all watched with concern.
Zhao Haiping's acting skills exploded in an instant, and he said with some emotion: "The end has been delayed for a long time, and we only welcomed the two saints back at this time. We failed to fulfill our duties as ministers and allowed the two saints to suffer humiliation in the enemy's country. This is a crime!"
"Unable to recapture Yanyun, go straight to Huanglong and kill all the Jin people to avenge our Qi Dynasty. This is the incompetence of the last general. This is the second crime!"
"The Zhaoyi army was not controlled by the imperial court, privately resisted the Jin Dynasty, welcomed back the two saints, and violated the way of being a minister. These are the three crimes!
"Even if the general has no choice but to do so, he deserves to die!"
Qi Yingzong hurriedly said: "General Han, what you said is wrong! If it were not for General Han, I would probably die in the Five Kingdoms City. How could we return to the Qi Dynasty? As for the other... Hey, today is a happy day, let's not talk about it.
No more talking."
After another touching reunion between the emperor and his ministers, everyone left the table and went back to rest.
But Zhao Haiping's performance caused some subtle changes in the hearts of the two emperors and Queen Mother Wei.
…
Early the next morning, Qi Yingzong went to greet Qi Huizong.
"Father, what do you think of what General Han said yesterday?" Qi Yingzong asked in a low voice when he saw that Queen Mother Wei was not there.
Qi Huizong coughed twice and said feebly: "How else can we look at it? This national matter is no longer something that we, father and son, can control."
Qi Yingzong added: "But my father, after returning to the Qi Dynasty, what if the ninth brother is not happy?"
Qi Huizong glanced at him: "I am already old, and I just want to be buried in my hometown. As for you... just take care of yourself!"
The father and son tested each other, and it was clear that they knew each other's thoughts, but they could not reach an agreement.
Qi Yingzong had no choice but to retreat silently.
Qi Huizong sighed, sat on the chair and closed his eyes slightly, no longer thinking about these things.
…
Qi Yingzong returned to his residence, but became a little restless.
He kept pacing in the courtyard.
Although these two emperors were stupid during the Jingping Incident, they had experienced so many ups and downs of the world and the warmth of human relationships with the Jin people. They were not in high positions at this time, so they should finally understand many things.
General Han Fuyue's words at the banquet last night seemed to be an apology on the surface, but if you look carefully, which words are true apology?
The first sin mentioned by General Han Fuyue was that it took too long to welcome back the two saints.
Of course, this is not a crime. After all, everyone knows how powerful the Jin people are. When these two strange emperors were in power, they almost lost their country. Now General Han Fuyue is turning the tide and helping the building to collapse.
Killing the golden man with divine help is already a great achievement that will last forever.
The second crime mentioned by General Han Fuyue was that he could not recapture Yanyun and went straight to Huanglong to kill all the Jin people.
Of course, this is not a crime, and again, everyone knows how powerful the Jin people are. The Qi Dynasty has been in existence for more than a hundred years, and even Taizu Taizong failed to regain Yanyun. How can we expect these unworthy descendants?
And this third sin is interesting.
Everyone had a tacit understanding before not raising the issue of Zhaoyi Army.
In fact, the Zhaoyi Army did not listen to orders at this time, and the land they captured did not return to the Qi Dynasty at all, but managed it themselves. The entire army's military resources, financial resources, logistics and equipment, etc., have been completely cut off from the Qi Dynasty.
It can be said that the Zhaoyi Army was a separatist regime entrenched in the north of the Qi Dynasty at this time, fighting against Qi and Jin.
The distance between rebellion and rebellion is just a matter of words.
No matter how unemotional the Second Saint is, he would not dare to break through this layer of window paper when he is living under someone else's roof.
But General Han Fuyue took the initiative to bring up this matter, saying that his third crime was "not being restrained by the imperial court, privately resisting the Jin Dynasty and welcoming back the Second Saint."
From the perspective of a minister, this is indeed an arrogance. After all, how can a minister make decisions for the emperor?
If it were Qi Huizong, Qi Yingzong would never tolerate this kind of behavior.
However, Qi Huizong and Qi Yingzong looked at this matter from the perspective of prisoners, and the nature was immediately different.
Why was General Han Fuyue not controlled by the imperial court? Isn't it because he kept winning great victories at the front, but Qi Gaozong wanted him to withdraw his troops and kneel down to sue for peace?
General Han Fuyue's decision was to continue to resist the Jin and welcome back the Second Saint.
In terms of the family, the country, the world, and the common people, the imperial court did not resist the Jin Dynasty, and General Han resisted the Jin Dynasty himself. This was a righteous move; in terms of loyal monarchs who loved the country and served the imperial court, Qi Gaozong did not want the late emperor or his father and brother, but General Han did not.
Forget that this is taking the moral high ground of loyalty and filial piety.
From this point of view, General Han Fuyue is not treason, but being forced by the dog emperor to have no choice but to take matters into his own hands and complete tasks that are not his own for the sake of the world.
Therefore, these three points appear to be an apology, but are actually some kind of disclaimer.
I tried my best! But someone is holding me back!
Who is holding back?
Nonsense, of course it’s Qi Gaozong and Qin Huizhi!
Qi Huizong is already old and his health is deteriorating. Even if he goes back to recuperate, he will probably not live for more than a year and a half. Therefore, Qi Huizong's only thought is to take care of himself.
As for the father-son relationship of "father uttering words and son laughing", even if he was dissatisfied, he couldn't care less about it.
But Qi Yingzong is still young and he still has many years to live.
General Han's words directly brought the conflict between him and Qi Gaozong to the fore.
Qi Yingzong's mentality at this time was that he just wanted to return to the Qi Dynasty and did not expect to continue to be emperor.
But the problem is that there is a chain of suspicion between him and Qi Gaozong, the ninth brother.
You said you don't want to be emperor, Qi Gaozongxin?
Emperor Gaozong of Qi would rather stop fighting when General Han continued to achieve great victories. He would rather cede the entire territory north of the Huaihe River in the Qi Dynasty to the Kingdom of Jin than welcome his father and brother back.
Isn't this attitude obvious?
So at this time, General Han Fuyue came forward to really welcome their father and son back. What would Qi Gaozong think? Would he want to get rid of them and then hurry up?
Qi Yingzong is indeed powerless to fight back at present, but this does not mean that he is a person who will sit back and wait for death.
After Qi Huizong ascended the Zen throne, he always issued imperial edicts for remote control. Qi Yingzong's response was that every time Qi Huizong issued an imperial edict, he would send one back. Later, Qi Huizong was directly taken back to the palace and placed under house arrest.
It can be seen that Qi Yingzong is not without a desire for power, and he is by no means a gentle and respectful person.
Once he knew that Qi Gaozong was likely to be unfavorable to him, Qi Yingzong's mind would become active.
Of course, even if Qi Yingzong had this intention at this time, it would be impossible to move Qi Gaozong.
After all, Qi Gaozong still held great power at this time, while Qi Yingzong had the title of "Two Saints" but did not have any real power or anyone available.
But for Zhao Haiping, it was enough to plant this seed in Qi Yingzong's heart.
This time bomb was sent back and was not rushed to detonate. But once it detonated, it would be powerful enough to cause the Qi court to collapse from within!
…
For the next three years, the world was peaceful.
The peace talks between the Qi, Jin, and Zhaoyi armies have been concluded, and there will be no new wars.
However, the undercurrents can still be seen in some trivial things.
Many people in the Qi Dynasty fled north into the territory of Zhaoyi Army, and local officials repeatedly banned them.
This is because the taxes of the Qi Dynasty were heavy, but production in the north where Zhaoyi's army was recuperating quickly recovered after recuperation, and in order to appease the refugees, they divided the land and reduced taxes, which won the hearts of the people.
Qi Chao knew it, but there was nothing he could do.
The chariots of Qi Huizong, Qi Yingzong and Queen Mother Wei had also arrived at the capital of Qi Dynasty long ago.
It is said that the scene at that time was extremely touching. Qi Gaozong went out of the city to greet the driver, and then he knelt down in front of Qi Huizong's driver and cried bitterly. The father and son hugged each other and cried.
Immediately afterwards, Qi Gaozong expressed his intention to return power to his brother Qi Yingzong, but Qi Yingzong refused repeatedly, and only then did Qi Gaozong give up.
After that, Qi Huizong began to take care of his old age as the Supreme Emperor, while Qi Yingzong was really named the Lord of Taiyi Palace, reciting poems and painting every day in the palace, living happily and carefree.
But...an episode happened soon.
Qi Huizong passed away.
In fact, in real history, Qi Huizong should have died five years ago. However, in this historical slice, he seems to have survived a few years longer.
But no matter what, his ability to return to the Qi Dynasty was based on his belief in returning to his roots. Death is a normal thing.
But in the discussions among people in the countryside, this matter has inexplicably become more of a conspiracy theory.
Because Qi Huizong was less than sixty years old when he died.
At this age, some people would naturally believe that he was suffering from illness and died at a young age; but if he was poisoned and assassinated... there seems to be nothing wrong with him.
After all, when the internal fighting between Qi Huizong and Qi Yingzong was at its fiercest, Qi Huizong wanted to toast Qi Yingzong to restore their relationship, but Qi Yingzong refused to drink, fearing that Qi Huizong would poison the wine. This made Qi Huizong very sad.
From the perspective of conspiracy theories, Qi Huizong was the Supreme Emperor and Qi Gaozong's biological father, which would definitely affect Qi Gaozong's power. Qi Gaozong was very dissatisfied with this, so it was not too strange to secretly poison Qi Huizong with some chronic poison.
matter.
Although this is just a rumor and nonsense, people in the countryside think of the actual performance of Qi Gaozong who shouted "returning the two saints" but actually preferred to let General Han Fuyue retreat rather than continue to fight...
All I can say is that this is not entirely impossible.
At least Qi Gaozong had this motive.
As for what Qi Yingzong, who was under surveillance in the palace, would think... that was only known to him.
In short, the Qi, Jin, and Zhaoyi armies lived peacefully for more than two years.
Until this day, Qin Huizhi, who had become powerful because of the terms of the Jin Renhe Agreement that "cannot be prime minister without guilt", received a secret letter from General Han Fuyue.
It says: Zhaoyi Army is willing to help him climb Dabao!
