Qin Hui's Rampage
Qin Hui treated them differently: it was to defeat the Prime Minister, and it was a temptation to the Emperor. Both sides had to take action at the same time and accurately grasp the progress to have the possibility of success! Judging the situation, Qin Hui decided to take away Zhao Ding's help first!
Among the four current prime ministers, Wang Shu, deputy envoy of Privy Councillor, was ranked last and advocated integrity, and was excluded. The second prime minister Qin Hui ranked second, and the third deputy prime minister Liu Dazhong was ranked third. The key lies in this person! He always advances and retreats with Zhao Ding. If it weren't for this, even the prime minister would be hard to say under the Song Dynasty system. So everything started with Liu Dazhong!
Looking at the officialdoms of the north and south of the Song Dynasty, there were countless political struggles. Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, I think Qin Hui reached an unprecedented height. Before him, the struggle between senior officials of the Song Dynasty was very so-called demeanor, just like throwing white gloves at each other in the etiquette of European aristocrats, which meant a duel. The voices of the Song Dynasty prime ministers were higher when they communicated with each other, and they were regarded as flaws... If there were flaws, they had to resign!
This situation was over when Cai Jing was born. The reason why Cai Jing rose in the torrent of the officialdom was that he had no bottom line in his work, could be shameless, fierce, and could use the opportunity to exert the power of the Yuanyou Party Monument to the extreme, and his opponent would never stop until he died. But at the root, he was picking up people's teeth and making a fuss among old bottles and soups. Secondly, he had no choice but to treat the emperor, and he could only dare to welcome Zhao Ji, and never dared to step over the thunder pool for his whole life...
All of this was overturned in Qin Hui's political career! Qin Hui believed in the principle that society is composed of people, but people have weaknesses. Controlling a person's weaknesses is equivalent to controlling this person. Controlling everyone's weaknesses is equivalent to controlling everyone, and then controlling the entire society! What? You say that great benevolence is without fear, great wisdom is without weaknesses, and there will always be perfect people without weaknesses... Are there really no weaknesses? Haha, okay, then "do nothing"!
At present, there is no need to bother to capture Liu Dazhong's weakness. This is known to everyone in the officialdom. He is unfilial to his father! This makes Qin Hui speechless, with no technical content at all. Find a censor to impeach him! It's that simple. Liu Dazhong was demoted to another place and became the governor of Chuzhou...
Afterwards, rumors spread everywhere in Lin'an City, all about Prime Minister Zhao Ding. The censors decided to impeach Liu Dazhong at a meeting and not to touch Zhao Ding. Of course, this is not to say that Prime Minister Zhao is too perfect and cannot be impeached, but to give the Prime Minister a face... It would be better to resign. Then "Prime Minister Zhao is begging to leave" "Prime Minister Zhao is moving onto the ship"... Countless upgraded rumors spring up like mushrooms after a rain...
Zhao Ding said that famous celebrities in later generations' evaluations. The so-called famous celebrities will inevitably be inferior to talent and integrity, and is a handsome gentleman. He will definitely give up the former between power and demeanor and choose demeanor...
Faced with the growing rumors flying all over the sky, Zhao Ding felt that the only way to maintain dignity was to resign. On the 1st, Zhao Ding dismissed... Qin Hui and Zhao Ding, both of whom were famous, got their fame, and those who sought profits gained their fame, and each got their fame...
On the day Zhao Ding left Beijing, the two of them had their own extreme performance. Qin Hui was cheap and acted obedient, and took Wang Shu to see him off. Wang Shu was very sad. He knew that with Zhao Ding's departure, the Southern Song Dynasty could not even get any decent appearance. Wang Shu said, "You are going to leave, so I will talk to Shu long ago." You should tell me earlier...
Zhao Ding looked arrogant and said, "Just go and stay in Privy Councilor, how dare Ding dare to do it?" Qin Hui was the Privy Councilor and Right Prime Minister. This was to accuse Qin Hui of making small moves and conspiring to murder people in person!
Qin Hui walked up to see him off as if he didn't hear it. Zhao Dingli ignored it, bowed and turned around and boarded the boat. Qin Hui did not let him go, and said in the back, "I have received the imperial edict, why not wait for my husband to have a farewell?" Zhao Ding was furious! As long as the banquet was held, a large number of officials would accompany him, which was a double embarrassment. He said, "The discussion is disagreeable, why can you stay?" Then he scolded the boatman to drive the boat and never stop... Qin Hui smiled and said, "Hui has good intentions." While laughing, he scolded his subordinates for withdrawing the banquet...
Zhao Ding left, his departure was very Chinese. In China, from ancient times to the present, from officialdom to the people, there is a very intriguing phenomenon, such as someone always said: So-and-so is a conspirator, a bad person! I am far away from him, let him go to the bad guy as much as possible...
When I said this, my expression was exciting and my voice was intense, as if I had a high posture and a high level, and I had the intention of not being able to join in with it, or even disdain to fight with it...
Is it arrogance or timidity? Why not fight? Why should we avoid it? Don’t you know that there is such a truth? "When sin breeds, it is wrong to help evil and indifference."
But China has the most widely spread and influential two ways of thinking - Confucianism and Buddhism. The way to deal with bad people and bad phenomena is to not compete with them. Confucian gentlemen adhere to the profound dogmas such as "A gentleman is difficult to advance and easy to retreat" and "not fighting is a struggle, and fighting is not a struggle" and so profound that they can explain it at will. Buddhism is more thorough. Why fight? Fighting is to start killing and violate the anger precepts...
At this time, the result of Zhao Ding's inconvenience was that Qin Hui was the only one! Then Qin Hui began to tempt the emperor:
Qin Hui said: In the face of peace talks, the current ministers are waiting and watching from both sides. When this opportunity is a thousand years old, if hesitates, he will miss it! For the sake of major events, the emperor is asked to hand over the task to me only and no ministers are allowed to intervene!
This is an adventure, and the bet is Zhao Gou's psychology at this time. Seeing the dawn of peace talks shine, good days are waving to him, and his family is destroyed, he is worried and has been wandering for many years. At this time, his subordinates either oppose nakedly or have selfish intentions. What would Zhao Gou think? What would he expect most? Qin Hui bet that he will need help and will go to the peace talks at all costs!
History proved that Qin Hui had a sharp vision, and Zhao Gou made a decision immediately. "I am the only one who has appointed you." He really gave the peace talks only to Qin Hui!
But Qin Hui immediately objected: Your trust moved and frightened me, but it is immature to make a decision like this quickly. Now I ask you to calm down and think about the sky carefully. If you still make this decision, then we can start implementing it... Zhao Gou agreed.
Whenever I read history, I have to applaud Qin Hui. Putting aside good and evil, loyalty and treacherous, and just talking about talent, Qin Hui is a genius at this time! He firmly grasped Zhao Gou's psychology, and what are people who are insecure and make peace at all costs? They are deceived and lose the sense of security that he has been chasing but cannot get!
The queen, the two met again, Zhao Gou reiterated: My decision remains unchanged, and everything is left to Qin Hui alone to deal with! But Qin Hui refused again: Are you really calm? Are you really sure what you want? This matter is important, so I will never regret it afterwards. Please think about God again and then make a decision... Zhao Gou agreed.
The two separated and did not bother each other. When the queen met again, Zhao Gou's heart became stronger. He reiterated his support for Qin Hui and his heart to negotiate peace will never waver!
Qin Hui still shook his head: The ancients said that only three things are happening, and two times are not enough to determine the major events. Please ask Your Majesty to calm down for another three days...
At this point, Zhao Gou's complete view of Qin Hui, and 9 days allowed Qin Hui to gain the emperor's absolute trust!
In the north, the envoy of the Great Jin Dynasty, Xiao Zhe and Zhang Tonggu, came all the way to Lin'an Prefecture of the Southern Song Dynasty with the title of "Edict of the Jiangnan Envoy"... From the title of "Edict of the Jiangnan Envoy", we can see that the Southern Song Dynasty was not a country at all, but a Jiangnan. This time the text was not a letter of state at all, but an edict from the superiors to the subordinates!
Whenever Xiao Zhe and Zhang Tonggu went to a prefecture and county, they would sit in the middle of the court. The officials of the Southern Song Dynasty accompanied him to meet him in the ceremony of welcoming the emperor's edict. In other words, the officials of the Southern Song Dynasty had to kneel down and bow to him. After receiving the ceremony, they would declare that the Jin Dynasty itself did not want to have any peace talks. It was the envoy of the Southern Song Dynasty who "pleaded with a hundred beggings and had no choice but to come."
This is outside the capital. After entering the Lin'an Palace, Zhao Gou wanted to ascend to the main hall, worship at Zhang Tonggu's feet, and submit to the imperial edict of the Jin Kingdom, and then became a minister of the Jurchen people... This is worse than Liu Yu's then! Liu Yu's pseudo-Qi was just the "son emperor" of the Jin Kingdom, and at least he was an emperor! Zhao Gou was just a minister of the Jin Kingdom, and he was humble in his identity!
These terms quickly spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River, and the entire Han ethnic group burst out with unprecedented anger!
Starting from the important town in Jiangnan and Pingjiang Prefecture where Xiansi Road, Liangzhexi Road is located, the magistrate Pingjiang took the lead in refusing to receive Jin envoys!
Want to bow? Dream! Say I'm incompetent? OK, I resigned! This is the backbone of the head of a province at that time! With his resignation, an unprecedentedly strong official storm swept across the Southern Song Dynasty!
First the military stood up. This time, Han Shizhong couldn't bear it anymore and spoke first. He could not write at this time, and his staff wrote on his behalf, writing more than a dozen memorials. He believed that the Chinese emperor was in great danger in this matter. When the master was humiliated by the minister, he strongly demanded that the war start immediately and requested to go to the most important position! Zhao Gou suppressed the memorial and ignored it.
On the 4th, Han Shizhong submitted another memorial, asking him to enter Beijing alone and make a statement in person! Zhao Gou finally replied, asking him to stay at the garrison honestly and not be allowed to move, and gave him a task in advance: when the Jin envoy returned to his country, Han Shizhong sent his army to escort...
Now, Han Shizhong has no chance to hijack the envoy, unless he wants to hijack himself!
Needless to say, Yue Fei had never made the upper class of the Southern Song Dynasty happy in this regard. At this time, Zhao Gou was wary of him becoming the second in the Huaixi Army and turning into a rebel to launch a coup...
The letter from former Prime Minister Li Gang triggered the first climax of resistance. "Since ancient times, barbarians have insulted China, there has never been such a big deal! Now, your Majesty has used the foundation of his ancestors for two hundred years. Even if he fails to restore his earthly land, how can he not love himself and be afraid of surrendering, and be criticized by future generations! Your Majesty is self-deprecating, what is the Nazong society? What is the subjects in the world? What is the history of his future generations?"
This is a positive criticism without leaving any room for anything, a naked slap in the face. It spread rapidly to the world and is well known to everyone. Everyone is thinking: What would Zhao Gou answer? Will he directly admit that he is just cowardly, just ignoring himself? He is just asking the Jurchens to spare their lives regardless of everything? No! Everyone has forgotten the emperor's privileges - the emperor can not answer!
Li Gang's criticism was like a rock sinking into the sea, and he fell into the palace and didn't even splash a wave. In the past, this move was indeed a victory in every battle, and no minister could point at Zhao Gou's nose and ask, "Why don't you reply?"
But this time, the city gate caught fire! Even the most obedient imperial guards came to the door!
The chief of the Third Yamen: Yang Yizhong, the head of the hall in front of the hall, Jie Qian, the head of the guards, and Han Shiliang (the brother of Han Shizhong) went to the capital to find Qin Hui! They said, "Once the emperor received an edict with his ministers and the military and civilians in the world were dissatisfied, so he caused trouble, our three Yamen were not sure to quell the riots." And asked a question "...There are three outside, and the next day, I asked someone: You are the ministers of the guards, but how can you make the officials perform this etiquette?"
The three big ones refer to the three generals Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong and Yue Fei. It can be seen between the lines that these three commanders of the imperial guards are actually cowardly and very qualified Zhao Gou-style ministers. The two they proposed are not so difficult for Qin Hui, but rather to arrange a way out for themselves in advance. I have told you the potential danger in advance. Don’t blame me if something happens!
Qin Hui disdained and sent someone away...
