Chapter 259(1/4)
With a "bang", the expensive vase fell to the ground and shattered.
Qi Gaozong's angry voice came from the palace.
"Reverse! Reverse!
"Prime Minister Qin, as you said, Han Fuyue has already had his objections!
"Twelve gold medals, he dared to refuse even the imperial edict!
"What does it mean to send back 70,000 troops and horses and a few estranged lieutenants? What does it mean to leave more than 30,000 elite men and all direct lieutenants for yourself!
“You still dare to issue a ‘letter to the people of the world’ and call yourself the ‘Zhaoyi Army’!
"Does he still have the imperial court of Da Qi and my official family in his eyes?"
At this time, Qi Gaozong had already received the news from the north.
General Han Fuyue's behavior was obviously a serious provocation to his imperial power. At the same time, it almost completely confirmed Qin Huizhi's false accusation.
General Han Fuyue is not at the mercy of others as everyone thinks.
Qi Gaozong looked at Qin Huizhi: "Qin Xiang! What do you think we should do at this time!"
There was no worry on Qin Huizhi's face, but a look of joy that could not be concealed.
Didn't General Han Fuyue's move save him more time to find reasons?
In real history, after General Han Fuyue came back, Qin Huizhi searched for him in order to unjustly kill him, but he couldn't find any evidence of his crime, so he finally killed him on an "unfounded" charge.
But now, there is no need to do anything. The mere fact of refusing to accept the order gives Qin Huizhi enough reason.
"The officials have reached this point, how can they be hesitant?
"Han Fuyue is already planning to rebel. The peace agreement between our government and the Jin people is about to be completed. As long as we order other generals to surround and kill them together with the Jin people, once the peace agreement is completed, it will be a good time to put down the rebellion and block the long way of the people of the world."
mouth.
"Isn't it a good thing to kill two birds with one stone?"
Qi Gaozong's face was gloomy and uncertain. Obviously, he did not expect that General Han Fuyue would not come back.
However, Qin Huizhi's words did not completely convince him.
At this moment, the third person present spoke.
"In the official family, I think it is not allowed."
Qin Huizhi's face instantly darkened and he looked at the minister beside him.
This man's name is Zhang Deyuan, and he served as prime minister in the court five years ago. Later, because of Qin Huizhi's rise to power and some of his own mistakes, he was demoted to Yongzhou.
Now, with the continuous changes in the situation in the Song and Jin Dynasties, he finally returned to the court and served as the Grand Tutor of the School, Chongxin Army Jiedu Envoy and other positions, and was named the Duke of Heguo.
Of course, although Zhang Deyuan served as Prime Minister under Gaozong, his power at this time was far less than that of Qin Huizhi.
The reason why he was summoned by Gaozong this time was because he was an old acquaintance with General Han Fuyue, and as a civil servant he knew something about military matters, so Qi Gaozong also wanted to hear his opinion.
We cannot let Qin Hui decide such a big matter with just one word.
When it comes to Zhang Deyuan, there is a comment from people at the time: He has a very short talent. Although his righteousness is very clear, he is totally ignorant.
In short, it can be said that apart from having some sense of righteousness, he was ostracized by Qin Huizhi because he repeatedly petitioned to resist the Jin Dynasty, but his political and military abilities were not very good.
Of course, no matter what, in this court at this time, "knowing some righteousness" is already a very rare quality.
Qin Huizhi said coldly: "Mr. Wei, is it possible that at this time, you still have to cover up for those rebellious ministers and traitors?"
As expected of a traitor, this big hat was immediately slapped on his face.
Qi Gaozong wanted to hear Zhang Deyuan's side of the story, so he waved his hand and interrupted Qin Huizhi: "Zhang Qing, tell me your opinion."
Zhang Deyuan said: "You must not be impatient about this matter.
"Although General Han refused to obey the imperial edict, changed the name of his army to Zhaoyi Army, and issued a 'Letter to the People of the World', after all...he hasn't rebelled yet, hasn't he?
"What if the officials raise troops to attack and really force him to rebel?"
Qin Huizhi snorted coldly: "It turns out that Duke Wei is as afraid of enemies as a tiger!
"When our troops come to the border, we will have Han Fuyue bound to the court for questioning! If he doesn't listen, the heavenly soldiers will immediately crush him and put him down! Why are you worried about forcing him to rebel?"
Obviously, Qin Huizhi didn't want to wait a second longer.
Zhang Deyuan looked at him as if he was a fool: "Oh, let me ask Prime Minister Qin, who do you plan to let to suppress General Han Fuyue?"
Qin Huizhi was stunned for a moment: "This..."
The place fell into an embarrassing silence for a moment.
This question really stumped Qin Huizhi.
Although he is the prime minister of the dynasty, he is not familiar with any of these generals!
Comparatively speaking, General Han Fuyue is already considered to have a relatively high emotional intelligence and is more considerate to him. The other generals may not scold him behind his back.
Of course, since he was the ruler of the dynasty, he could have asked the emperor to order these generals to fight.
But the problem is that these generals have more or less good relations with General Han Fuyue...
Who to send?
The reason why the emperor asked these people to withdraw immediately was because, under Qin Huizhi's instigation and instigation, he no longer trusted these generals who commanded the troops outside. He didn't even trust people like General Han Fuyue, let alone
Other generals?
So, since they are no longer trusted, let them go and suppress General Han Fuyue...
Wouldn't this turn into a meat bun beating a dog and never come back?
What if these generals were also instigated by General Han Fuyue to rebel?
Okay, maybe you can fight those who have a bad relationship with General Han Fuyue, but the problem is that such people are generally useless. Even if you fight, they will probably be delivering food to General Han Fuyue...
If you have a good relationship with General Han, you will not dare to send him there; if you have a bad relationship with General Han, you will not be able to win if you send him there.
this……
Qi Gaozong obviously figured this out, and his face instantly turned pale.
He found that after General Han Fuyue, who had always been docile and obedient, suddenly showed his claws and refused to obey the order, he seemed... to have no good solution!
"In Zhang Qing's opinion, what should we do?" Qi Gaozong asked.
Zhang Deyuan said: "I believe that General Han did not really want to rebel. The reason why he refused to obey the imperial edict was that he was dissatisfied with the official order to summon him back and wanted to stay and continue to fight against the Jin Dynasty.
“When the officials read his ‘Letter to the People’, they also expressed deep hatred towards the Jin people every word of it.
"So, the wisest way at this time is to quietly cut off his food, grass and baggage. Neither encirclement nor provocation, just deal with this matter coldly.
"As for the conditions of the Jin people, I believe that General Han cannot be killed to seek peace."
Before he finished speaking, Qin Huizhi almost jumped up.
"How unreasonable! How dare you speak out about such a policy that harms the country!
"Are you going to give all generals a good start?
"Han Fuyue refused to obey the imperial edict, but the officials did not show any expression and acquiesced? Then why did the other generals return to Beijing?
"If this continues, won't it mean that the generals leading troops outside can ignore official edicts and gold medals? You are trying to dig up the foundation of my Qi Dynasty!
"Guan Jia, you must not listen to his nonsense! Han Fuyue must die. This is to scare the monkeys! Other generals who are commanding troops outside are also watching the officials' handling of this matter. If the officials really don't
If you don’t listen and don’t ask, the world will be in chaos immediately!”
Zhang Deyuan also refused to give in: "Is what Prime Minister Qin said a strategy to save the country?
"Guan, please think about it carefully. General Han Fuyue has always been your confidant and favorite general. His loyalty to you is not only seen by the generals, but also by the people of the world!
"At this time, General Han has not conspired to rebel. If the official family really sends other generals to encircle and suppress him without any nostalgia for the past, what will the other generals who are leading the troops think?
"After all, General Han had contributed to the Qi Dynasty. If he killed them like this, wouldn't these generals put everyone in danger and alienate the officials?
"At that time, the whole country will rebel, and our Qi Dynasty will be shaken immediately!"
The two of them spoke to each other without giving in to each other.
Qi Gaozong felt his head was as big as a bucket when he heard it, and it was difficult to make a decision.
According to the original true history, General Han Fuyue returned to the court without saying a word, so Qi Gaozong and Qin Huizhi found out that they could manipulate him at will.
To deal with an obedient person, no matter how strong he is, he can always find a way.
Therefore, it is not difficult at all to demote an official if you want to demote him, or to kill him unjustly if you want to.
But now, General Han Fuyue suddenly put on a posture of disobedience, and the two men were at a loss.
In fact, what Qin Huizhi and Zhang Deyuan said are reasonable.
The special status of General Han Fuyue determines that no matter whether the court suppresses it or not, there will always be serious problems!
If you suppress it, all the generals in the world will be disappointed; if you don't suppress it, all the generals in the world will dare to refuse orders in the future!
What's more, can we definitely win the battle if we suppress it?
