Chapter 256 Please Your Majesty to Die! (8600 words for monthly ticket)(1/4)
Ten years passed by in the blink of an eye.
In real history, there isn’t much to say about these ten years.
It was nothing more than the murder of General Han Fuyue, which caused the whole country to mourn. However, Qin Huizhi obtained the Jin people's promise that "he will not be the prime minister without guilt" and became more and more powerful in the government and the public.
And in this trial fantasy, there isn't much to say in the past ten years.
The peace agreement has been concluded and General Han Fuyue is dead.
The Qi Dynasty and the Jin people have no motivation to continue fighting. It seems that the two sides will enter a period of peace.
For most people in the Qi Dynasty, although they were sad, most of them accepted this hard-won peace and looked forward to the end of their lives so that there would be no more war between the two countries.
However, the Jin people began to actively prepare for war.
The next time we go south, we will wipe them all out in one fell swoop.
And Chu Ge only did a few simple things in these ten years.
The first is to isolate China and foreign countries.
At this time, the emperor was the absolute core of the Qi Dynasty's system, and officials, including the governors, were actually workers under the emperor.
The emperor was both an athlete and a referee. He did not need to personally fight with the ministers. However, when he wanted to replace someone, he only needed to instigate some conflicting ministers to come to the court for impeachment, and then he would remove them and replace them with someone else.
The one you trust more is fine.
And there is a very special group among them. For example, Hanlin bachelors, Ge Shizhong, Zhongshu Sheren, etc.
The important duty of these people was to draft edicts directly for the emperor.
As for these people, Chu Ge directly asked them not to appoint them after they took office, and directly left their positions vacant.
In other words, the emperor could no longer find these people to issue an edict to him. If he wanted to issue an edict, he could only go through Chu Ge, the prime minister.
In this way, the emperor and the officials were completely isolated.
The second is to grasp the power of governance.
Li Hao, played by Chu Ge, directly used his relatives, friends and family relationships to control the three core departments of the six departments for a long time, namely the Department of Personnel, the Department of Household Affairs and the Department of Punishment.
Only the other three non-core parts are left symbolically for other officials to share the profits.
Moreover, the officials of these six ministries, whether they were ministers or ministers, were all under the management of Zuopushe of Shangshu Province, and this person was Chu Ge himself.
In other words, Chu Ge can actually directly control the six departments to implement what he wants to do.
The third is to gain military power.
In the Qi Dynasty, the military power was controlled by the Privy Council, and Li Hao, played by Chu Ge, also served as the Privy Council envoy.
The fourth is to control and advise.
The so-called Taijian is actually Yushitai, the supervisory department of the Qi Dynasty, and was Li Hao's old profession.
Li Hao, played by Chu Ge, directly purged all dissidents in Yushitai and took complete control of the supervisory agency.
Since then, the Yushitai has become a tool specially used to suppress dissidents. Anyone who dislikes it will be
They can all be impeached using the Yushitai, and then imprisoned, and these people can be charged with various crimes, and they can even be directly executed for the crime of treason.
And these things that seemed impossible to happen under the political system of the Qi Dynasty happened so simply.
Qi Gaozong had no choice.
For Chu Ge, all this actually didn't take much effort, because Qin Huizhi did this in history.
In the final analysis, it is because of the words in the Jin Renhe Conference: "You cannot go to the Prime Minister without guilt."
With this sentence, the status of the emperor and ministers has been completely reversed.
If the emperor cannot appoint and remove ministers at will, but the ministers can arrange their own people among the ministers at will... then the final result is self-evident.
…
After doing all this, what greeted Chu Ge was naturally the curse from the world.
After all, no matter how you look at it, the Li Hao he plays currently only has three identities.
The first is the traitor who killed General Han Fuyue; the second is the traitorous minister who deceived the emperor; the third is the powerful minister who cut off dissidents and disrupted the government.
Compared with the image of Qin Huizhi back then, there is no difference between this image of a treacherous minister, a powerful minister, and a traitor to the country.
It's just that in these actions, the details that are different from the real history are still ignored by everyone.
First, Chu Ge did not dismantle General Han Fuyue's army.
In real history, Qin Huizhi has been deliberately dividing and dismantling the direct troops of General Han Fuyue. He first stigmatized General Han Fuyue, and then appointed his own people to take over the army, constantly treating him harshly and suppressing him.
Let these soldiers either accept the humiliation and harsh criticism from the court, often withholding pay and mistreating them, or have those who want to cause trouble be beheaded or exiled, or even directly suppress some of them for treason.
After such a suppression, the army, no matter how effective it was, became demoralized and fell apart.
But in this historical slice, Chu Ge did nothing. Instead, he continued to retain the army of General Han Fuyue. He also allowed the generals in the army at that time to maintain daily training.
Second, although Chu Ge also controlled the government and had power over the government and the opposition, he did not reuse all the traitors.
On the contrary, after his position gradually stabilized, he began to consciously and secretly promote some knowledgeable people and placed them in various departments of the Six Ministries.
They may not hold important positions, but they can replace the main officials of the six ministries at any time.
Although the traitors who were originally attached to Chu Singer were somewhat dissatisfied with this, Chu Singer had the right to interpret such matters after all, and they did not dare to interfere.
Soon, everything was arranged.
Chu Ge began to follow his original plan and act as if the northern defense line was weakened and about to collapse. At the same time, he continued to send letters to the Jin people, asking them to go south as soon as possible.
He revealed some less important information to show that he, the prime minister of the Qi Dynasty, was of the same mind as them.
All this was done smoothly, and the Jin people had no doubts.
After all, this Li Hao even unjustly killed General Han Fuyue, and then sold the entire Qi Dynasty, what's so surprising?
…
"Please come quickly, Prime Minister Li! The officials are impatient to wait!"
The little eunuch had a look of eagerness on his face and hurriedly welcomed Li Hao, played by Chu Ge, into the Hall of Merit.
This scene is somewhat familiar to Chu Ge.
Ten years ago, he entered the Selected Virtue Hall in the same way.
Originally, he wanted to put in a few nice words for General Han Fuyue to see if he could persuade Qi Gaozong to stop General Han Fuyue from retreating. However, Qi Gaozong did not give him this chance at all, and insisted on withdrawing his troops to negotiate a peace and killing General Han Fuyue.
.
From that time on, Chu Ge formulated a ten-year plan.
And now, the ten-year period has finally arrived.
"Li Xiang!
"What's going on with this latest military report!"
Qi Gaozong's expression could no longer be described as panic.
It was clearly a frightening panic.
The financier Wanyan Hailing mobilized a large army and attacked in four directions, preparing to destroy Qi in one fell swoop. The main force he led went straight to Huaixi. The Qi army in the two Huaihe areas fled after hearing the news and fled to the south bank of the Yangtze River.
At this time, the Jin soldiers had arrived on the north bank of the Yangtze River, building warships and preparing to cross the river.
Qi Gaozong, who originally felt safe in the capital, found that in the blink of an eye, he was in danger.
"Li Xiang!
"Why did the Jin people tear up the peace agreement and invade our country!
"How dare they tear up the peace agreement...this peace agreement, this peace agreement..."
Qi Gaozong was at a loss, and his panicked expression completely lost the imperial airs he had when he unjustly killed General Han Fuyue.
The fear of Jin people was deeply rooted in his bones.
Whether it was the Jingping Incident or the subsequent search for mountains and seas, Emperor Gaozong was beaten by the Jin people like a dog in the water throughout his life.
He originally thought that after killing General Han Fuyue, there were still several famous generals who, although insufficient in attack, were more than adequate in defense, enough to keep him safe for the rest of his life. However, he did not expect that just ten years later, the Jin people would already have a large army to suppress the situation.
However, his impression of the Qi army, which was still stuck in the period when General Han Fuyue was victorious in every battle, suddenly shattered to pieces.
Ten years ago, the scene when General Han Fuyue achieved several great victories seemed like a dream. When he woke up from the dream, everything returned to the way it was before.
Chu Ge sneered in his heart, he had completely lost his patience with this emperor.
Is Qin Hui hateful or not?
Of course it's hateful.
But without this dog emperor, how could Qin Huizhi be so virtuous and capable that he could dominate the government and the public?
But now that things have come to this, we still have to do the whole show.
"The official situation is critical. In my opinion, there is only one way to go at this time."
