Chapter 255 Ten-year plan(1/3)
The first thing Chu Ge thought of was naturally the possibility of killing the emperor.
After all, he had successfully planned to assassinate Qi Yingzong in the first stage, and he passed the level directly by flipping the table with one hand.
In any case, Emperor Gaozong was definitely no less killable than his brother.
If Qi Gaozong can be killed, even if the copy fails, Chu Ge will admit it.
At least it was for General Han Fuyue that he let out a bad breath.
After careful consideration, Chu Ge discovered that the success rate of this matter was too low.
This matter has two aspects: Li Hao and Qi Gaozong.
From Li Hao's point of view, he has not yet reached the point where he dominates the government and the public.
Although from the perspective of later generations, Qin Hui's power was overwhelming, and if he wanted to kill Han Fuyue unjustly, he would kill Han Fuyue unjustly. He even asked Qi Gaozong to always have daggers in the palace to guard against him, completely destroying the entire political system of Qi Dynasty...
…
But at this time, Chu Ge didn't have that kind of energy.
In real history, Qin Huizhi's rise to power did not happen overnight, but went through several stages.
The reason for his resurrection was that he was able to get in touch with Wan Yanchang and establish a peace agreement.
As for the killing of General Han Fuyue, although some people believe that he conspired to kill him first and then report it, in the final analysis, Gaozong had already had the idea of killing Han Fuyue, so Qin Huizhi did this for his own selfish interests, and it was also considered as pandering.
Qi Gaozong's thoughts, so under Qi Gaozong's protection, he was safe and sound.
Then it was time to negotiate a peace with the Jin people. There was a sentence in the contract, "You are not allowed to go to the prime minister for being innocent."
The actual effect of this sentence is that Qi Gaozong hardly dared to deprive Qin Huizhi of his position for any reason, regardless of whether he was guilty or innocent. Even if Qin Huizhi was really guilty, Qi Gaozong did not dare to discuss the crime.
Therefore, the reason why Qin Huizhi was able to be the prime minister for more than ten years and dominate the government and the public was ultimately because he had the support of the Jin people and relied on him to bring trouble to the Qi Dynasty's government.
But at this time, Li Hao, played by Chu Ge, had just risen to become the Prime Minister.
First, if he did not intend to kill General Han Fuyue, then what he did was actually not in line with the emperor.
Secondly, he has not yet received the clause from the Jin people in the peace negotiation that "he is not allowed to go to the prime minister for being innocent", which means that the Jin people will not support him at this time.
At this time, the emperor had already made up his mind to kill General Han Fuyue and negotiate peace with the Jin people.
As for Li Hao, played by Chu Ge, as a prime minister, he may be able to obey and disobey, and he may be able to find ways to prevent the emperor's decrees from leaving the palace. But the final result must be that the emperor takes over.
Because at this time, his foundation as a prime minister was not deep enough. Qi Gaozong was the undisputed most orthodox successor to the throne at this time.
The political strength of the two is simply not on the same level.
So, what about assassination?
The probability of success is also extremely low.
Previously, Chu Ge and Li Hongyun were able to successfully assassinate Qi Yingzong because Qi Yingzong lost his mind and wanted to escape from the palace. The protective force was lax on the way, so that Li Hong used a musket to take advantage of the loophole.
But at this time, Qi Gaozong had already experienced a mutiny and attached great importance to his own safety. He had been hiding in the palace and was heavily guarded.
Although Li Hao, played by Chu Ge, is the Prime Minister, he has to be searched repeatedly before entering the palace. In addition, without the cooperation of other players, he can hardly think of any possibility of successful assassination.
Therefore, this matter has fallen into an endless loop.
Assassination is not an option, and political struggle is the only option.
But when it comes to political struggle, we don’t have enough strength.
If you want to have enough strength, you must first get the support of the Jin people who "are not allowed to be prime ministers for being innocent." And if you want to get this support, you must first betray the country and kill General Han Fuyue.
Isn't this a big circle, and then it goes back again?
If Chu Ge really unjustly killed General Han Fuyue, no matter what he did after that, he would never be able to clear his name.
Because General Han Fuyue of this era is the only divine general who can bring peace to the world and is irreplaceable.
Seeing that the current situation was almost falling into an endless loop, Chu Ge did not give up because of this.
He didn't even think about using the function of the heroic spirit to ask for help.
Because he knows that asking this question to those heroic spirits in history may not be easy. For many things, it is better to use your own brain to solve it.
After some thinking, Chu Ge finally made up his mind.
An edict was drawn up to recall General Han Fuyue with twelve gold medals.
…
In April, General Han Fuyue and other generals were transferred from the army and returned to serve in the Privy Council of the capital.
In May, the peace faction in the DPRK slandered General Han Fuyue for "staying and refusing to enter" and demanded that Han Fuyue be removed from the post of Deputy Privy Envoy.
In August, Han Fuyue was dismissed from his post and returned to his old residence to take some time off.
In October, the Zhuhe faction framed General Han Fuyue for treason and threw him into Fengbo Pavilion in Dali Temple Prison.
In November, Qi and Jin reached a peace agreement: Qi declared vassalage to Jin, assigned all north of the Huaihe River to the Jin Kingdom, and paid an annual tribute of 250,000 taels of silver and 250,000 bolts of silk.
In December, Li Hao corrected the imperial edict and killed General Han Fuyue, and Gaozong later issued an order to ratify it.
It is difficult to verify whether Qin Huizhi killed General Han Fuyue by false edict, or whether Qin Huizhi actually got Gaozong's secret order to kill General Han Fuyue. But no matter which case it is, it is not possible.
Change the nature of the matter.
Qi Gaozong and Qin Hui hit it off instantly. No matter who came first or who came last, whether it was Qin Huizhi who blamed the emperor's decree, or Qi Gaozong who blamed Qin Hui's edict, they were all trying their best to blame the other party's head.
It's just that I take less of the blame.
After all, both of them knew that if they did such a bad thing, they would be infamy for the ages.
Just like that, everything seemed to be going according to the original route.
…
December 29th.
Dali Temple Fengbo Pavilion, in prison.
Wei Shun's life has undergone great changes in recent days.
He was originally a jailer here. He worked diligently and was loyal on weekdays.
Hearing that General Han Fuyue had made great achievements in the Northern Expedition and continued to regain lost territory, Wei Shun was also excited. He even returned home every day and happily had a drink with a few friends.
But then, what happened in the court made his mood take a turn for the worse, and he became increasingly confused.
General Han Fuyue, who continued to score great victories on the front, was recalled to the Central Government and was imprisoned within a few months.
The news came from prison that General Han Fuyue has been accused of crimes. Although he has not been tortured, the traitor party headed by Li Hao in the DPRK wants to put General Han Fuyue to death.
It's obvious.
Wei Shun felt a tightness in his chest and had nowhere to vent.
Why?
Why did Your Majesty turn a blind eye to these traitors and sycophants? Why did Your Majesty have no reason to doubt General Han Fuyue, who was the pillar of the country? Is it possible that in the face of the hatred between the country and the Jin people, the selfish interests of the Gongun princes in the DPRK were just like this?
Is it important?
However, he is just a pawn after all.
Even if he had already scolded the traitors headed by Li Hao ten thousand times in his heart, even if he knew that General Han Fuyue was imprisoned in Fengbo Pavilion, what could he, a little jailer, do?
If it develops according to real history.
After General Han Fuyue was killed, the jailer Wei Shun took the risk of being killed and secretly dug up General Han Fuyue's body and carried it out of the city so that he could be buried alive.
On the day when General Han Fuyue was rehabilitated and Zhaoxue was later rehabilitated, Wei Shun had already passed away, but he still told his son about it before he died, so the remains of General Han Fuyue were actually moved to the West Lake for burial.
If it were not for Wei Shun, perhaps General Han Fuyue's body would really be gone and he would not be able to be buried in the tomb for future generations to worship.
As a small soldier, Wei Shun risked his life to do such a thing, which can be said to be unparalleled loyalty.
But what Wei Shun didn't expect was that none of this happened.
Because a few days ago, he was inexplicably promoted to prison officer.
This appointment was said to have been personally ordered by Li Hao, the prime minister at the time, whom he had scolded countless times.
This move caused some changes in the way his colleagues looked at him.
There is flattery, there is disdain.
Almost all his colleagues in prison thought that he had colluded with Li Hao and was going to become an accomplice in the death of General Han Fuyue.
Wei Shun was puzzled by this, because he and the current prime minister Li Hao were strangers to each other, and even privately scolded Li Hao for being a traitor to the country.
Today, as a prison officer, Kai Shun received an order to kill General Han Fuyue.
The current prime minister, Li Hao, was a complete conspirator. He dismissed everyone and waited outside the prison in person to confirm that General Han Fuyue was dead before leaving.
No one else knows about what happened that day.
However, I later heard that there was still a blood letter written by General Han Fuyue in the prison that read "The sky will be clear, the day will be clear!" Li Hao left proudly after confirming that General Han Fuyue was dead.
In this regard, the person who really experienced it, Wei Shun, kept it secret, and soon resigned and left to live in seclusion in the countryside.
To be continued...
