At the banquet, Qin Huizhi's mental state seemed very good.

At this time, he had great power, and he was even trying to make standard procedures for usurping the throne such as "adding nine tins".

And this is more than ten years earlier than he was in real history.

In real history, it was not until his death that he dared to try the operation of adding nine tins, and failed. But in this historical slice, his operation went much more smoothly.

In the middle of the banquet, Qin Huizhi, as before, stood aside and began to say some words to Meng Lin that could not be spread out.

"General Meng! The advice you and General Han gave me is indeed a good one!

"Especially sending Emperor Yuan Sheng back is a wonderful move!

“The truth is, I really don’t know how to thank Zhao Yijun.

"It's just... General Han said before that he was willing to help me get to Dabao, but why has there been no movement until now? Could it be that the full support General Han said was just to send the current official back?"

Although Qin Huizhi was happy, he still had some criticisms of Zhaoyi Army in his words.

The reason why his path to power was more than ten years earlier than in history was obviously because of the existence of Qi Yingzong.

General Han Fuyue, played by Zhao Haiping, was sent back to Qi Yingzong, which gave Qin Huizhi an opportunity to use the topic to his advantage.

Originally Qin Huizhi did not dare to usurp the throne because he knew that the legitimacy of his power came from the peace negotiation between the Jin people and even more from Qi Gaozong, a fatuous and weak emperor.

If a promising monarch were replaced, he could have strengthened his troops, controlled the government, and then torn up the peace agreement. At that time, whether Qin Huizhi would be retained as prime minister or not, wouldn't it be a matter of just one sentence?

The ferocity of the Jin people and the fatuousness of Qi Gaozong allowed Qin Huizhi to secure his position.

But the problem is that once he really threatens Qi Gaozong's throne, Qi Gaozong will definitely fight to the death with him. And no matter how powerful Qin Huizhi is, he is still a waste with little ability and cannot control the situation at all.

To usurp the throne, legality is the most important thing.

At this time, Qi Gaozong was the undisputed co-owner of the world and the supreme heir to the Qi Dynasty's legal system. How could Qin Huizhi dare to replace him?

But once Qi Yingzong came, the situation was completely different.

In the process of establishing Qi Yingzong, Qin Huizhi not only poisoned Qi Gaozong, but also further took the power of the court into his own hands. The most important thing is that Qi Yingzong, the polished commander, was much easier to control than Qi Gaozong.

Because Qi Yingzong was also afraid that his throne would be overtaken by Qi Gaozong, he not only acquiesced to Qin Huizhi's actions of poisoning Qi Gaozong and purging all the ministers in the court, but also fully supported it.

Originally, Qin Huizhi did not have such great destructive power.

But coupled with Qi Yingzong, whose legal authority is higher than Qi Gaozong...

This destructive power is simply invincible.

Moreover, the reign of Qi Yingzong directly deprived all parties of the opportunity to launch a coup in the name of King Qing or King Qin.

Qi Yingzong's legal authority is higher than that of Qi Gaozong, and this matter was done by Qi Yingzong and the powerful Qin Huizhi. Even if you want to rescue Qi Gaozong, what reason do you have?

What made Qin Huizhi a little unhappy was why the Zhaoyi Army never took action?

It stands to reason that since General Han Fuyue said that he would support him, he should at least express his support for Qi Yingzong's restoration at this time, right? If he could publicly accuse Qi Gaozong of his sins to the world and put a heavy foot on him, then this matter

It is of great benefit to the stability of the political situation.

However, the Zhaoyi Army made no comment on this, which made Qin Hui expend a lot of effort to finally stabilize the situation in the court.

This made Qin Huizhi a little unhappy.

Meng Lin shook his head slightly: "Is it possible that Prime Minister Qin was confused for a moment? General Han can't speak at this time!"

He lowered his voice: "If you speak out now, and Prime Minister Qin is promoted to Dabao in the future, what will General Han say?"

Qin Huizhi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, and a smile appeared on his face: "Yes, yes! The truth is that the truth is confused!"

Why didn’t General Han Fuyue speak out?

According to Meng Lin's explanation, General Han Fuyue could certainly speak out at this time, but it was not necessary.

If General Han Fuyue voiced his approval of Qi Yingzong, how could General Han Fuyue speak for you when Qin Huizhi usurped Qi Yingzong again?

You can't play both sides and make the world laugh at you, right?

Therefore, Meng Lin's meaning is very clear. General Han Fuyue cannot speak now. When Qin Huizhi wants to usurp Qi Yingzong, General Han Fuyue will rebuke Qi Yingzong for causing the Jingping Incident, which is a big fool.

, and also murdered his own brother Qi Gaozong...

In short, pour dirty water on Qi Yingzong.

By that time, won't it be justifiable for you, Qin Hui, to usurp the throne?

At this time, Qi Yingzong was restored to power. Although many ministers in the court were dissatisfied, after all, Qi Yingzong had legal authority, so they could only endure it.

But when Qin Huizhi usurps the throne, how many of these ministers will support him? It's hard to say.

Therefore, the support of General Han Fuyue is a decisive weapon for Qin Huizhi. It is indeed too early to use it now.

Misunderstanding resolved.

Qin Huizhi was overjoyed, and after drinking two glasses of wine, he asked, "In General Han's opinion, when can I do this important thing?"

Meng Lin pondered for a moment: "Don't be too hasty, but don't be too slow!"

Qin Huizhi was a little confused: "What is the explanation for this statement?"

Meng Lin explained: "Emperor Yuan Sheng has just been restored to power at this time, and the situation in the court is in turmoil. If he is abolished in a hurry, it may trigger a fierce backlash.

"So don't be too hasty about this.

"But this matter must not be postponed. The current official really has no confidants at this time, which is easy to handle. But he will not continue like this.

"After all, he is an official. He has to go to court and have contact with hundreds of officials. Can Prime Minister Qin really put him under house arrest? Over time, sooner or later, this official will gradually take back his power.

"When the time comes, Qin Xiang, let alone ascending to Dabao, will probably be liquidated and charged with regicide!

"So, in my opinion, one year is the best time!

"One year later, the Prime Minister of Qin can be imprisoned in the palace on the grounds that the official is ill, cancel the court meeting, and all matters in the court, big and small, will be decided by the Prime Minister of Qin. After a few months, when the government is stable, he can then abolish the throne.

Things can be determined by heaven and earth!

"The Zhaoyi Army will respond by raising troops, enumerating the ten major crimes of today's officials, and making him bear the crime of losing his master, humiliating the country, and killing his father and brother.

"If there are warriors from the Qi Dynasty who dare to rebel, Prime Minister Qin can first remove them through unjust imprisonment. If the injustice cannot be removed, General Han can naturally send troops to fight against the rebellion for Prime Minister Qin!"

Qin Huizhi's eyes widened as he listened to Meng Lin's wonderful scene describing the future.

Does he want to be emperor?

Even in my wildest dreams!

But at this moment, this opportunity was really placed in front of him, so how could he not be tempted?

However, despite being excited, Qin Huizhi gradually calmed down and lowered his voice and said: "So, what is General Han's intention?"

Obviously, General Han Fuyue could not help him for no reason.

General Han Fuyue used to be a loyal and patriotic character. Although he later turned dark, perhaps because of Qi Gaozong's ungratefulness, and began to follow the route of separatist rule by supporting troops and self-respect, he must not have a good impression of Qin Huizhi.

.

Qin Huizhi knew very well that since General Han Fuyue could not like him, then helping him must be for a large enough benefit.

Meng Lin paused for a moment, then said: "General Han doesn't want much.

"After Qin Xiang proclaims himself emperor, General Han will also proclaim himself emperor.

"After the completion of the matter, the two countries will draw the Yangtze River as the boundary, one in the south and one in the north, and they will be regarded as brotherly countries!"

Qin Huizhi couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

Divide the river and rule?

That’s quite an appetite!

At this time, the territory of the Qi Dynasty was bounded by the Huaihe River and Dashan Pass, protecting half of the country in the south.

If we divide the river and rule it, it means that at this time, the Qi Dynasty's Sichuan, Shaanxi, Jingxiang, Lianghuai, etc. will all be ceded to the Zhaoyi Army.

Not only must nearly a quarter of the entire country be cut off, but several strategic locations must also be cut off!

For example, Jingxiang.

This is a crucial strategic location. The Qi Dynasty was able to confront the Northern Barbarians for many years. This place is of great significance.

Moreover, General Han Fuyue said long ago: To defend the Jiang River, you must defend the Huai River.

Although the Yangtze River is a natural danger, it is too long after all, and there are too many places that can be broken through. Moreover, once the river is drawn to control, when the enemy builds warships to cross the river, our own side may not be able to react.

Therefore, if you want to defend the Yangtze River, you must first defend the Huaihe River. Only by repeatedly operating the defense line between the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River can you ensure that you have the strength to resist when the enemy invades.

But now, General Han Fuyue wants to eat all this piece in one bite, which is indeed a lion's mouth.

However, although Qin Huizhi's first reaction was shock, he immediately burst into laughter.

"General Han has such a good appetite! However, if this matter comes to pass, it is not non-negotiable."

The lion's open mouth dispelled Qin Huizhi's doubts to a certain extent.

Since General Han Fuyue did this for such huge benefits, it is reasonable.

If General Han Fuyue wanted nothing, then Qin Huizhi would have doubted his motives.
