The Jin army besieged the city, and the Song emperor’s daughter died

Chapter 6 Don’t use rhetorical techniques indiscriminately

Now, who can stand in the Chui Gong Hall to discuss matters, who is not an elite of the Song Dynasty? Even Li Gang, who has always been politically dull, knows that this group of people is waiting to see the empress' joke.

If Zhao Fujin couldn't say one, two, three, and just scolded the ministers for being incompetent in discussing matters, wouldn't he have just scolded himself?
Li Gang wanted to speak, but then he thought, it would be inappropriate if he forced himself to come forward!

It’s easy for colleagues to scold you for flattery behind your back!

Secondly, if you really make a mistake in your judgment of the situation, you are likely to be infamed in the history books for harming your country!
The former is irrelevant to Li Gang, but the latter...

Li Gang can't bear it!

Zhao Fujin pinched his brows and glanced around the officials in the palace: "Since you all want to listen to my opinion, I will tell you that the golden thieves did not intend to destroy the Song Dynasty this time when they invaded the south!"

This time no one stood up and shouted: "Is the golden man here to celebrate the official's birthday?" or something like that, but most of them showed disdain and curled their lips and shook their heads!
Zhao Fujin chuckled: "The current emperor of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Sheng, does not want to destroy the Song Dynasty right now!"

"I beg to differ!" Li Bangyan bowed and came out: "After Wanyan Sheng succeeded to the throne two years ago, he had no merit and was just thinking about how to make contributions and establish the power of the emperor. How could he not want to destroy the Song Dynasty?"

What Li Bangyan said was exactly what most people in the hall thought. Why did Zhao Er want to conquer the Liao Dynasty? Wasn't it because he wanted to gain military merit?Referring to others, isn't that what Wanyan Sheng thinks?
Zhao Fujin turned sideways: "If that's the case, then why doesn't Wanyan Sheng learn from me, Emperor Taizong, and lead the expedition myself?"

Although this reason makes some sense, it is not impossible to gain military merit from a distance. After all, the general’s merit is also the emperor’s merit!

"It depends on what kind of emperor matches what kind of general!" Zhao Fujin said with a smile: "Of course it is okay for the Supreme Emperor to match Tong Guan, but Wanyan Sheng matches Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan. If we really destroy the Song Dynasty, this will Can the credit of Po Tian be attributed to him? Not only did he get no benefit at all, but he also made those two military achievements even more superior, and their achievements are so great that he, the emperor, is probably going to end up sitting there!"

After Zhao Fujiang finished speaking, Li Gang's heart trembled: "How can an official have such foresight?"

The basis for Li Gang's judgment that the Jin army's move south was not to destroy the Song Dynasty, but just to gain some benefits, was exactly the same as what Zhao Fujin said!
Li Bangyan was also stunned. In this way, Emperor Wanyan Sheng of the Jin Kingdom really should not support the Jin army to destroy the Song Dynasty, at least it is impossible to give full support!
The ministers discussed among themselves in whispers.

Zhao Fujin smiled again and said: "While we are chatting, gentlemen, I will tell you a story. In the beginning of the sixth year of Xuanhe, Wanyan Sheng got greedy for a while and took two jars of fine wine from the treasury. He was discovered by the guards and was arrested the next day. The ministers were pulled from the dragon chairs and whipped 20 times in court! If you were the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, how could you still watch your ministers continue to achieve military success and gain prestige?"

After listening to the ministers, some stroked their beards and laughed, and some nodded happily. Most of them understood why the female official said that the Jin army's southern invasion was not to destroy the Song Dynasty, but to destroy the Song Dynasty!

When the emperor of a country is so messed up, how can he possibly give those generals who have all the power and the troops in their hands a chance to continue to gain military merit? Do they really no longer want to sit on the throne?

Only a few prime ministers were shocked: "How did the officials know such a secret? With such means, how could our little thoughts and actions in private escape the eyes of the officials? We should be more cautious in the future! "

Therefore, he deserves to be the leader!
No matter what the thoughts of the ministers are, one thing is certain, that is, the previous fear of the Jin Army has dissipated a lot!

This is what Zhao Fujin wants!
The two countries are at war. Before the war started, one side was scared to death. How could we fight this war?
Seeing that the ministers in the Chui Gong Hall relaxed a little, Zhao Fujin felt that it was not enough. She had to dig out the initiator who had the ambition of others and destroyed her own prestige!

Not only must he be dug out, but he must be buried alive!

"Xuan Shaanxi transfer judge Li Ye!"

After receiving the document from the Imperial City Department last night, Li Ye, who had been waiting outside the palace early in the morning, entered the Chui Gong Hall with trepidation: "Your Majesty, Li Ye, has seen the official family!"

Zhao Fujin did not give him a good look, but just snorted coldly: "Li Ye, tell me what you reported to the Supreme Emperor a few days ago, and repeat it to me word for word!"

As soon as he received the news that the Jin army was launching troops to invade the south, Emperor Daojun was a little panicked, but he did not collapse. He ordered Shaanxi transport judge Li Ye to take ten thousand taels of gold to the Jin army camp to sue for peace. No one was there whether the people were there or not. You know, the peace talks failed anyway, and the gold was gone. When I came back to restore Emperor Daojun’s life, I only said a few words!

Emperor Daojun burst into tears on the spot, his Taoist heart was broken, and he immediately decided to abdicate and run away!

Li Ye cleared his throat: "Jin soldiers are like tigers, horses are like dragons, they go up the mountain like apes, they enter the water like otters, their power is like Mount Tai, and China is like... like a tired egg!"

After listening to Li Ye's words, the fear that had just dissipated from the hearts of the ministers spewed out uncontrollably!

"Fart!" Zhao Fujin slapped the table and stood up, his eyes like swords, staring at Li Ye: "Like a tiger, like a dragon? Like an ape, like an otter? Draw it for me. I want to see what exactly you see. What monsters and monsters! Come here and give me pen and paper!"

Li Ye was stunned when he saw the chamberlain holding pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of him.

"It's okay if you draw it. If you can't draw it, I will punish you for deceiving the king today!"

Li Ye fell to his knees with a plop: "Guan family, minister... minister..."

He hesitated for a long time, how to explain this thing?

Did you say that you used exaggerated rhetoric?
Saying the word "exaggeration" now is no different from admitting that you have deceived the emperor!
Not only did he deceive the emperor, but he also paralyzed the Dao Lord and Emperor with fear. It was not unfair at all to serve a set meal of killing nine tribes!

"Oh, have you ever seen the Jin army climbing a mountain?" Zhao Fujin slowly walked down the imperial steps and asked as he walked.

"I... never!"

"Then have you ever seen Jin Jun enter the water?"

"Nor ever!"

"That's strange. You're just like a tiger or a dragon. How did you make it up to me like you are like an ape and an otter?" Zhao Fujin walked up to Li Ye, looked down at the shivering Li Ye and sneered: "I'm going to let you know today. You must understand! Xuanhuang City Secretary Guo Jing!"

After a while, everyone from the Imperial City Division, led by Guo Jing, carried dozens of large boxes into the Chui Gong Hall.

"Your Majesty Guo Jing has met the official!" After saluting, he turned to the accompanying imperial city officials and said, "Open it!"

With a creaking sound, wooden boxes were opened in public. All the officials in the palace looked at the sound and saw that each box was neatly placed with yellow gold bricks!

"I raided Li Ye's mansion in Kaifeng today and found ten thousand taels of gold in the cellar in the backyard!"

As soon as Guo Jing finished speaking, the Chui Gong Hall immediately exploded!

"Li Ye! The Supreme Emperor asked you to bring tens of thousands of gold to seek peace. You...how do you explain these gold bricks!"

"You are a traitor who is harming the country! You are a traitor who is harming the country!"

"I beg the officials to kill this thief!"

"My minister agrees!"

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

Li Ye, who originally knelt down and prostrated, collapsed on the ground, propped himself up, looked at Zhao Fujin with horror on his face, and said tremblingly: "I...I don't...I..."

Zhao Fujin's beautiful eyes were downcast and her eyes were cold. She slowly bent down and pressed her body against Li Ye's ear. She exhaled like a blue breath and asked in a low voice: "Are you going to die by yourself, or are you going to drag the nine tribes with you to be buried with you?"

Li Ye was stunned for a moment. He finally understood what Zhao Fujin meant, which was to use his head to calm the fear of the princes in the court!

"The minister...is guilty!"
