Northern Song Dynasty: Counterattack and became emperor after the Jingkang Revolution

Chapter 54 Debate in the Court

After Qin Hui answered this sentence, he ignored Zhao Yingluo and was ready to cut through the mess quickly and kill them first, but!

He seemed to have underestimated the hundreds of cavalry behind Zhao Yingluo.

Just when the executioner was about to execute the order and kill again, an arrow shot through the air and shot directly through the executioner's arm.

The executioner wailed and dropped his long knife to the ground.

After Wang Zaixing shot an arrow, he bent his bow again and aimed at Qin Hui, who was not far away.

Qin Hui's legs trembled when he saw the arrow shining coldly in the sun.

At this time, the soldiers moved, and Zhao Yingluo's hundreds of cavalry also drew out their long swords made for cavalry.

Seeing that the conflict is about to break out!The situation was about to get out of hand, and everyone knew that Kang Lu appeared at the execution ground with Zhao Gou's edict.

"The official has issued an edict and immediately ordered all the people from the court to enter the palace to meet the saint."

【Chaotang】

The ministers who had just left the court were all called back again. Zhao Gougao was sitting on the throne with an increasingly headache. After reading his father's handwritten edict, he confirmed that the handwritten edict was true. His father's calligraphy could be regarded as someone else's. It can't be counterfeited, and the seal is also genuine.

Now that the father has spoken for their two ministers and has taken all the blame for Shen Wanshu's raising of private soldiers on himself, it will be difficult for the three of them to deal with them.

Putting down the edict, he took another look at the handsome young man at the foot of the stairs, and he felt that he looked familiar...

In the edict, my father said that this person was the adopted son he adopted when he went north, but why is this adopted son so similar to his father?Could it be that this man is the illegitimate son of his father who is away from home, his extra royal brother?
Zhao Gou finally denied his guess. If he followed his father's temperament, he would never let his biological son appear in front of him as his adopted son.

"What suggestions do you have for the Emperor's edict?"

Qin Hui, who was almost peeing in fear at the execution ground, became more stubborn now because he had the support of his comrades, "In the official family, I thought that we must not allow Zong Ze to return to the north. If they return to the north, how will the court control it?" Kaifeng? Even if it is necessary to recruit troops to protect Kaifeng, as the Supreme Emperor said, troops should be recruited in the name of the imperial court, and the generals dispatched should also be controlled by the imperial court."

When Lu Yihao saw that he was still holding on to Zong Ze and Zong Ze, he couldn't help but became furious. He took off his boots and threw them at Qin Hui, but Qin Hui dodged them in embarrassment.

"You were once kidnapped by the Jin people. Now after returning to the south, instead of admonishing the officials to fight against the Jin people, you have repeatedly suppressed the warring court officials. What is your intention? Could it be that you accepted the benefits of the Jin people and ignored the country and the country? "

After all, Qin Hui was also the Right Prime Minister. When he was thrown away like this, he got angry and said, "Fight the Jin? What should we use to fight against him? Let alone the Jin, even Liu Yu's rebellious ministers and I, the Song Dynasty, are helpless now, let alone the Jin's cavalry? Now I The Song Dynasty finally stabilized the situation, opened up trade with the Jin people, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, how could they restart the war? In my opinion, you are ignoring the country and the country."

"Xiang Qin said it well! Now that the world is at peace, I, the Song Dynasty, should be engaged in domestic affairs and foreign affairs, so that there will be no bloodshed and military disasters in the world. It is not the way of a human minister to resist the Jin Dynasty." Wang Boyan and the Qin juniper snake rat nest, Naturally, he spoke for Qin Hui. After all, he would need Qin Hui's help when he resumed his official position in the future.

When Zhao Yingluo saw that Qin Hui and the others actually wanted to put Zongze and Zongze to death, she couldn't help but cursed, "Bah! You are the only ones who still talk about the way of being a minister? What is the way of being a minister? Loyal to the emperor, patriotic and considerate of the people. You Do the treacherous ministers and traitors know that Hebei is still under the iron cavalry of the Jin people? Do you know that the former emperor and princes are still in the hands of the Jin people? In such a situation, where is the magnanimity of the scholars in making peace with the Jin people? Where is the majesty of the Song Dynasty? If Taizu Emperor Taizong knew that your unfilial ministers actually bent down and encouraged the officials to surrender to the Jin people. He was so angry that he crawled out of his grave and slapped you to death for being unfaithful, unfilial, benevolent and unjust."

Qin Hui's face darkened, and he was about to retaliate immediately, but when he thought that the other party was the adopted son of the Supreme Emperor, his tone softened a lot, "You are just in white clothes, and you don't know the overall situation of the world, how can you act recklessly in the heat of the moment?"

Zhao Yingluo sneered, "If you live high in the temple, you worry about the people, and if you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you worry about the king. How can you not care about your family and country in white clothes? It seems that you occupy the court, eat nothing, and don't think about your family and country. Instead, he framed an important minister for his own personal affairs and should be punished with threats!"

Qin Hui said angrily, "I plan everything for the court, how can I get involved in personal matters?"

Zhao Yingluo raised her eyebrows, and immediately raised her hands towards Zhao Gou and said, "For the record, as far as I know, this concubine of Qin Hui is the daughter of Liang Da of Kaifeng. After Liang Da lost millions of acres of land to the princess, she swallowed Unable to stop this, he turned to tell his daughter, and his daughter continued to flirt with Qin Hui. In order to get back the million acres of land for his father-in-law, Qin Hui slandered the officials in front of the officials, saying that the princess was raising private soldiers. "

Zhao Gou frowned slightly. Although he had a weak character, he could not tolerate his ministers seeking personal gain from public affairs. "Is this happening to Qin Qing's family?"

Qin Hui's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly denied it, "Officials, how could I seek personal gain because of family affairs? Everything I said was for the sake of the country, the country, and the country, and it was not what he said."

Zhao Yingluo smiled calmly, "Officials, since Prime Minister Qin denies recognition, I have brought a witness here, and I also ask for the official's permission to summon the witness into the palace."

Zhao Gou was about to agree, but was overtaken by Wang Boyan, "Officials and the court are the place to discuss national affairs, how can family affairs be an issue? I think this matter can be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for investigation and handling."

"What Wang Qing said is absolutely true! Let's stop this matter. As for what the Supreme Emperor said, I also think that the Hebei Rebel Army should be recruited in the name of the imperial court. The two ministers Zongze can stay in Lin'an and take up their posts. As for Shen Wanshu, her land belongs to The imperial court confiscated her, and the Zui Furong and the Song Dynasty Bank were also taken over by the imperial court. I care about her past achievements and can make her live in Lin'an for a long time and enjoy the same treatment as a princess."

Zhao Gou was interrupted by Zhao Yingluo before he finished speaking.

"If there were no Zongze and Zongze in Kaifeng, it would soon be occupied by the Jin people for the second time. By then, the Supreme Emperor would be in danger. Officials have always been extremely filial. How would they deal with themselves then? If Shen Wanshu's fields were confiscated, how could the army support the imperial court? rise?"

"This……"

"The officials regard the edict issued by the Supreme Emperor as nothing. Does it mean that if the Supreme Emperor knew about it, the officials would still be able to sit on the throne despite the thunderous wrath?"

After hearing what she said, Zhao Gou felt an even greater headache. It was impossible to keep the three of them in Lin'an, but if they were released to Kaifeng, as Qin Hui said, it would be a big hidden danger if they were not controlled by the court.

Qin Hui rolled his eyes and came up with another plan, "Guan Guan, since the Emperor relies on the army he has raised, why not ask Shen Wanshu to lead his private army to Shangzhou eastward. If he can defeat Liu Yu's army in one fell swoop, he can relieve Xuzhou's difficulties. , the three people can no longer be held accountable for their crimes. As for Zongze and Lu Haowen, their families can be moved to Lin'an, and after they have settled down, they can resume their duties."
