Chapter 261 Xing the Great Prison!(2/3)
There is no need to fight anymore, and there is no need to worry about your unstable status. From today on, you can sleep peacefully and no longer need to be frightened by the search for mountains and seas!
After reading it twice, Qi Gaozong's joyful expression gradually faded away.
Qin Huizhi asked: "Why are the officials not happy?"
Qi Gaozong seemed to have come to his senses: "Wanyan Sheng had insisted that General Han Fuyue must be killed before peace could be negotiated. But at this time, didn't the Jin still negotiate peace with us?
"If I really kill General Han Fuyue... wouldn't I be giving a big gift to the Jin people for no reason!"
No matter how stupid you are, you should understand now.
The golden man’s condition is just asking for a sky-high price!
Now General Han Fuyue could not be killed, and Wanyan Sheng was defeated. As a result, when they went to negotiate for peace, the Jin people no longer mentioned the condition of killing General Han Fuyue, because there was no one who could kill General Han Fuyue.
Kill!
At this time, the Jin people were in chaos in the rear, and Wan Yansheng had to gather the remaining soldiers and the defeated generals to go back and put down the rebellion. Therefore, after the peace talks between the two sides dragged on for a while, the peace talks were generally settled in accordance with the previous peace agreement.
Only then did Qi Gaozong come to his senses. It seemed that General Han Fuyue could survive.
Qin Huizhi's face turned cold and his eyes rolled.
Obviously, he had to say something.
Although the Jin people brought up the matter of killing General Han Fuyue, he had been encouraging and promoting it.
At this time, Qi Gaozong came back to his senses and felt that peace could be negotiated without killing Han Fuyue. Then wouldn't the blame be firmly placed on Qin Huizhi?
Thinking of this, Qin Huizhi said coldly: "How can an official think so?
"It would be a big mistake not to kill Han Fuyue!
"At this time, Han Fuyue is tantamount to treason, and will soon become a serious problem for the officials!
"Although the Jin people have attacked our dynasty many times, they are just barbarians. How can they shake the throne of the official family? On the contrary, Han Fuyue has such popular support among the people. If he were to wear a yellow robe, the official family would be in danger!
"If Han Fuyue had been killed first, how could there have been the current chaos? Once the peace agreement is concluded, the officials can rest easy.
"But now, as long as Han Fuyue is not dead, the official family will not be able to live in peace!"
Qi Gaozong's previous regrets were instantly wiped away, and he suddenly said: "What Qin Xiang said is true! I should have killed Han Fuyue long ago!
"But now that his wings have matured, even the Jin people are helpless. What can our court do?"
When Qin Huizhi saw Qi Gaozong, his thoughts changed instantly, and he said: "Don't panic, officials, this person can still be taken care of...
"Since the peace agreement between our dynasty and the Jin people has been completed, and the north of the Huaihe River has become the old land of the Jin people, then let the south return to the south, and the north return to the north. The matters in the north will be handled by themselves.
"Han Fuyue's army is at its peak at this time, so he cannot face it head-on. It is better to use the strategy of driving away tigers and devouring wolves, and let Han Fuyue continue to fight the Jin people in the north. He has neither food, grass, nor reinforcements, and sooner or later he will need them.
If he is defeated, then it will no longer be considered that I killed him unjustly, it will be his own fault!
"If this plan works, Han Fuyue and the Jin people will lose both sides in the fight, and our country will benefit from behind the scenes. By then, the peace negotiation between our country and the Jin people will be more stable."
Qi Gaozong couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Okay! Just as Prime Minister Qin said!"
…
The peace agreement between Qi and Jin has been concluded, and it is agreed that the Huaihe River will be used as the line, with the north belonging to Jin and the south belonging to Qi.
This was actually an unacceptable clause for the people of the Qi Dynasty.
After all, General Han Fuyue has already reached the south bank of the Yellow River. After the victory at Zhuxian Town, he can immediately regain the old capital, and then cross the Yellow River and take back all the counties in Hebei and Hedong.
However, the emperor decided not to fight?
However, the common people do not have any decision-making power on such important military matters.
According to the original historical development, General Han Fuyue died and after the Qi-Jin Peace Agreement was reached, the two dynasties maintained peace for about twenty years.
In the past twenty years, Qin Huizhi of the Qi Dynasty gradually gained power in both the government and the public. He not only persecuted the military attachés, but also the scholar-bureaucrats. Not only did the government become a mess, but the armaments were also extremely depleted.
The Jin people were always preparing to attack the Qi Dynasty again. First, they put down the rebellion in the rear and wiped out the rebels in Hebei, Hedong and other places. Then they set up military camps in these places to strengthen their rule.
After twenty years of this, Wanyan Hailing once again raised his troops to invade the south.
There may not be many records about this in history, but you can actually imagine how painful and desperate the people in the North will be after the peace agreement is signed.
They lived like slaves under the rule of the Jin people. Seeing the victories of General Han Fuyue's Northern Expedition, rebel armies from all walks of life rose up to respond.
They also knew that if the rebel army failed, they would be massacred by the Jin people;
They also know that the Qi Dynasty is also in chaos, the court is not necessarily clear, and the taxation is not necessarily light.
But they still raised their troops to resist without hesitation.
Why?
Of course, it was because they were all from the Qi Dynasty and still had illusions about the Qi Dynasty. More importantly, the rule of the Jin people was too cruel and they could not survive!
Therefore, they formed a rebel army and even sent military rations to General Han Fuyue, looking forward to it day and night.
In the end, all we got was Qin Huizhi's words: "Go south to the south, and go back to the north to the north."
I mean, you northerners should fend for yourself.
Even the rebels who ran to the Qi Dynasty, Qin Huizhi had to send them back to the north, let alone the suffering people in the north?
The Gungun princes of the Qi Dynasty had long ago abandoned them like grass.
But in this trial fantasy, all these situations have changed.
In this vast area north of the Huaihe River and south of Yanyun, there is an additional force.
Originally, the Jin people's rule over this area was not stable, and they could only achieve indirect rule by establishing a pseudo-regime.
And now, Zhao Haiping will use the Zhaoyi Army he established to launch a vigorous cause in this vast area!
…
…
At this time, Fan Cun was in the trial illusion.
Having ascended the throne and become the emperor, he is immersed in political affairs every day.
Of course, he couldn't understand the memorials of the ministers, and he wasn't particularly good at handling these political affairs.
But he has the official plug-in Sheng Taizu.
At this time, Taizu Sheng was looking at one of the memorials with a stern expression.
"They are all words to flatter the superiors and bully the inferiors."
Fan Cun looked at the contents of the memorial with some curiosity. In his opinion, these were all empty words and clichés. They seemed to be praising King Yun who had just arrived at the base and commending his own achievements.
With his weak foundation in ancient Chinese prose, all his brain cells died after reading this memorial.
How did Sheng Taizu realize that this was a word of flattery and bullying?
Taizu Sheng snorted coldly: "I have seen this kind of memorial many times! This man is doing merit for himself, but he can't even calculate the land and taxes of the prefectures and counties under his jurisdiction! Although I don't know the local situation, I can't tell from the few memorials he submitted.
It can be easily seen from the figures that this is a lot of false reporting.
"As long as we send someone to investigate, we will definitely find evidence that this person is corrupt and has violated the law!"
Having said that, Taizu Sheng seemed to be a little dissatisfied: "There are still so many people in the court who are corrupt and pervert the law like this!
"It's no wonder that the Qi Dynasty had accumulated many disadvantages and was vulnerable to a single blow!
"Civilian officials love money, but military officials cherish death. It's weird to be good at it!"
To Fan Cun, these memorials seemed to be just words of praise and full of cliches and empty words, but to Sheng Taizu, he had a sharp eye like a torch and instantly saw that the entire Qi Dynasty had turned into a sieve.
After all, Sheng Taizu started out in the grass and worked step by step from the grassroots level. What kind of tricks have he not seen before?
These civil servants wanted to make a fuss about numbers and fool Qi Huizong, an emperor who only knew how to write calligraphy and play football. But to fool Sheng Taizu, they were really looking for death by lighting lanterns in the toilet.
Fan Cun was a little curious: "Hey, didn't I hear that the Qi Dynasty was a dynasty with high salaries and integrity? The salary of officials in the Qi Dynasty was the highest in history, and the Jingping incident was just a sudden death for the Qi Dynasty, and the life span was not over. Why?
At this time, the government is already on the verge of collapse?"
Sheng Taizu chuckled: "High salary to support integrity? This is an interesting statement.
"High salary can support integrity? I have never believed it!
"Young man, think about it for yourself, if you are an ordinary person and you have to look for a subordinate to do things, and if the subordinate's monthly salary is only two taels of silver, how much money can you spend to make ends meet? On the contrary, if a subordinate's monthly salary is
Your salary is only ten taels of silver. How much money do you need to spend to be able to live a normal life?
"If it is the so-called high salary to support integrity, and a special sum of money is allocated to support integrity, then these low-level officials and subordinates can hire people to work if they have money! In the past, even exploitation was done secretly, but now they can hire people to share it.
Layers of code have been added, and a lot of procedures have been added for nothing, but the people at the lowest level have been exploited even more!"
Fan Cun suddenly asked: "So, low salary can better support integrity?"
Sheng Taizu shook his head: "Of course not. High salary cannot support integrity, and low salary cannot support integrity! In the final analysis, whether an official is honest or not has little to do with the amount of salary.
"Officials are the ruling class of the country, and they themselves hold privileges! If you want to fill their appetites with money, how much money can you fill?
“If you give ten taels, they dare to think of thirty taels; if you give thirty taels, they dare to think of three hundred taels!
"No matter how much money you give to maintain integrity, they will get used to it, and then their selfish desires will expand, and they will still have to double this number several times."
