A knife in love

Chapter 1948
When Feng Wei said this, he paused for a while, sighed, and then continued: "To put it mildly, Emperor Taizong is impatient, unlike Emperor Taizu, who is generous. Although Emperor Taizu was born as a general, he never He is not good at killing. When Emperor Taizong was the governor of Kaifeng, he advocated severe punishments and murders at every turn, so all the officials were a little afraid of him. Seeing Emperor Taizong's angry appearance, the courtier knew that his death was imminent, so he frightened I was so out of my wits that I even claimed I was wronged."

When Feng Wei said this, Qi Jiu suddenly said: "Mr. Feng, I have something to ask, please don't be offended by Mr. Feng."

Feng Wei wholeheartedly thought that Qi Jiu slandered Emperor Taizong and the good ministers and generals of the Song Dynasty, and hated him extremely.Hearing Qi Jiu's question at this moment, he originally didn't want to answer, but then he thought about it, he is the grandpa of these boys, so he can't afford to be angry with them, otherwise he would appear narrow-minded and intolerant.Moreover, this kid made things difficult for him, and it seemed that he deliberately wanted to squeeze himself out.If you don't allow him to speak, you seem to be afraid of him.Thinking of this, Feng Wei raised his eyebrows, snorted, and said: "Boy, just say what you have to say. But if you still mock the virtuous ministers and generals of this dynasty, I will not agree."

Qi Jiu said in a deep voice: "Then I would like to thank Mr. Feng. Zhao Guangyi, that is, the Emperor Taizong you mentioned before he ascended the throne, except for his confidantes, he has always been mean and ungrateful, and there is no one in the court. I don’t know, everyone knows, it’s not because I slandered him, right?”

After Feng Wei heard what Qi Jiu said, although his face was not very good-looking, he did not refute it, obviously acquiescing to Qi Jiu's words.Qi Jiu went on to say: "But after this man became emperor, his temperament has changed a lot. At least he no longer kills ministers at will. Although some ministers really deserve to be killed, Zhao Guangyi only cut his official position and fined his salary. Start killing. Mr. Feng, do you know the reason?"

Feng Wei sneered, and said in his mouth: "At first, I guessed that you would have some problems to embarrass me, but I didn't expect to ask such ignorant words. Emperor Taizong was previously named King of Jin, and he became the prefect of Kaifeng, in charge of the capital. Great power. The national policy of the Great Song Dynasty is to have strong cadres and weak branches. All the elite soldiers and horses will be included in the forbidden army, stationed inside and outside the capital, and the old and weak soldiers will be used as Xiang troops to deploy in various places. At that time, there were more than [-] forbidden troops inside and outside the capital. If they were not restrained by severe punishments and strict laws, these Qiuba might even overthrow the Kaifeng Mansion. Emperor Taizong enforced the law precisely because he was just and strict, and he did not show favoritism. After he ascended the throne, he would have to govern the whole world , How can we use the identity and vision of the governor of Kaifeng to control the country of the Song Dynasty? The courtiers are strict in their duties, and the emperor must restrain the people with generosity. "

When Feng Wei said this, he glanced at Qi Jiu, and then said: "You don't understand these big plans for governing the country. I just play the piano to the cow."

Qi Jiu was ridiculed by Feng Wei, but he was not angry, and said in his mouth: "Mr. Feng is wrong, completely wrong. You also said just now that Zhao Guangyi is not as generous as Zhao Kuangyin, and he is jealous and mean. If you can be the emperor, you can change? After he became the emperor, although he did not slaughter the ministers, but the death of Zhao Kuangyin's sons, I am afraid that Zhao Guangyi will not be able to get rid of it. Does this count as killing people?!"

After Qi Jiu finished speaking, his eyes were like torches, staring straight at Feng Wei.An embarrassed look appeared on Feng Wei's face, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, but he didn't speak.

Qi Jiu continued: "Although Mr. Feng is an official of the Song Dynasty, there is one thing that I'm afraid you don't know. In fact, not only you don't know, even Cai Jing, Tong Guan and other high-ranking officials don't know about it. thing. Zhao Guangyi poisoned Zhao Kuangyin to death and became emperor..."

When Qi Jiu said this, Feng Wei's face changed drastically, and he shouted loudly: "Bold! You dare to say such crazy words and slander the late emperor. It is a heinous crime! If you report it to the government, you will be killed immediately!"

When Feng Wei said this, his eyes widened, he looked Qi Jiu up and down, took a deep breath, and then continued: "Boy, it was not easy for your parents to give birth to you, so don't give up your life in vain. I just take it for nothing. Listen, after you leave here, don't tell anyone about it. Not everyone in the world is as tolerant as me."

Qi Jiu shook his head, and said in his mouth: "I don't believe that Mr. Feng has never heard of the matter of the candle shadow and the sound of the axe! If you really don't know about it, you might as well swear that I believe that Mr. Feng really doesn't know about it." .”

Feng Wei's expression became more embarrassing, he was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "This matter is just a rumor, and there are too many things to do. Emperor Taizong has always been filial, how can he kill Emperor Taizu? This is a rumor made by Liao spies ,unbelievable."

Qi Jiu sneered, and said in his mouth: "Filial piety? If Zhao Guangyi is really a filial person, how could he force his younger brother Zhao Tingmei and his nephew Zhao Dezhao to death?!"

Just as Qi Jiu finished speaking, Feng Wei shook his body and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to speak, but couldn't.I only heard Qi Jiu continue to say: "Old Mr. Feng, I'm afraid you won't believe what I'm going to say right now. But I hope you can listen to what I have to say. As for whether you believe it or not, it's up to you. After Zhao Guangyi poisoned Zhao Kuangyin to death, I became the emperor myself. The courtiers were a little scared when they heard that King Jin was enthroned. But since then, apart from killing his younger brother Zhao Tingmei and nephew Zhao Dezhao, Zhao Guangyi has never beheaded any ministers, which is beyond many people's expectations. But in the second year of Jingkang, more than a hundred years later, the world finally let the world know what happened to Zhao Guangyi's sudden benevolence."

When Qi Jiu said this, he took a deep breath, and then said: "Mr. Feng, don't be surprised. The second year of Jingkang is the reign of Song Qinzong Zhao Huan. This year has passed since the second year of Xuanhe when you went to the Kingdom of Jin as an envoy. After seven or eight years, the old man naturally didn't know that there was still this year. This year, the Jin soldiers invaded Bianliang, and the generals of the Jin army commanded troops to plunder Bianliang City. The originally prosperous Bianliang City instantly turned into hell. The Jin soldiers slaughtered the people and robbed the gold and silver treasures, and the Song Dynasty imperial palace was naturally not spared. But when the Jin soldiers raided the Taimiao dormitory, they found that there was a compartment built in the wall. The Jin soldiers were overjoyed, thinking that there must be hidden in the compartment. Chongbao, but after the rebels rushed into the room, they found that the room was empty, except for a huge stele standing in the middle of the room, covered with a golden veil on the stele. The golden soldiers tore off the golden veil on the stele, But he didn't understand the words engraved on the stele, and seeing that there was no gold and silver treasures in the room, he couldn't help being disappointed, so he hacked and kicked a few times on the stele, and after venting his anger, he hurried to other palaces to loot.

"The golden soldiers plundered the palace for several days, looting all the gold and silver treasures, and then returned with a full load. After the golden soldiers left the palace, several palace servants who had survived hiding in the city sneaked into the Taimiao. After cleaning up the spirit cards of the emperors of the Song Dynasty enshrined in the Taimiao, they discovered the intermediary room in the sleeping hall. These people saw the stone tablet in the intermediary room, which was eight feet high and four feet wide, with two big characters "Oath Stele" engraved on the top. Beneath it are engraved three lines of oath, one oath for each line."

When Qi Jiu said this, he glanced at Feng Wei, and said in his mouth: "Mr. Feng, do you want to know what oath is engraved on the stone tablet?"
