Chapter one hundred and sixty-eight
A strange person must have a strange appearance. Qin Hui was born with feet as long as poles, eyes with night light, and often chewed his teeth and moved his cheeks, which was called a horse. The fortune teller said that the person with this appearance could kill people, which meant that he would definitely be able to hold power. He had already been in Tai
When I was studying abroad, I also showed my outstanding qualities.
Among his classmates, he was also regarded as a young elite at that time. He was well-read and memorized, good at writing articles, and was especially good at dealing with "common things."
The reputation of "long legs".
Ordinarily, the organizer of such an outstanding student cadre who likes to help others solve their problems and run before and after the event should be liked by everyone. However, the opposite happened. The students looked down on him because he loved to play two-faced. According to the current saying,
"Tell people what they say, tell ghosts when you see ghosts", which sounds good to me as someone who is well-versed in human relations, but worst of all, it means he is a 'two-faced' villain who does one thing and another!
Qin Hui was awarded the Jinshi title at the age of twenty-five and began to serve as an official. With his extraordinary "talent", he was promoted to Yushi Zhongcheng during the Jingkang period. At this time, the Jin army besieged the city, and the main war faction was obviously in a weak position. Qin Hui saw the opposition of the civil and military officials.
, and also heard the impassioned speeches of his subordinate Ma Shen and others.
, as the chief of Yushitai, of course he had to express something, so he wrote a piece of petition alone and sent it to the Jin camp. At this time, he was also betting, placing his treasure on the fact that the Jin army could not break the city.
But according to his character and conduct, he would not fail to leave a way out for himself.
At the beginning of his petition to the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom, Qin Hui first stated that his purpose in writing this petition was not entirely to be loyal to the Zhao and Song Dynasties, but also to consider the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom and to help you, the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom, to weigh in.
Pros and cons. The article says
It has been more than a hundred years since the founding of the Zhao and Song Dynasties. It governed a vast area and its descendants were numerous and "unified under orders". When Zhang Bangchang was the prime minister, he was just a "minor who attached himself to power and luck, and worked together to govern the country", and the people hated him.
It is deep in my heart that if he is made emperor, the heroes of Tianbian will definitely "rise together and kill him", and in the end they will not be able to become the barrier and vassal of the Jin Dynasty.
What you Jurchens should pay attention to is that if you must make Zhang Bangchang emperor regardless of everything, then "the people of the capital can be subdued, but the people of the world cannot; the eldest son of the capital can be destroyed, but the eldest son of the world cannot be destroyed." Therefore, Qin Hui
I sincerely hope that the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom will think carefully. It is best to restore Song Qinzong to his position and let Song Qinzong be a puppet emperor, so as to "realize the benefit of the Jin Dynasty for eternity".
In fact, although Qin Hui had stated in his petition that his objection was "not specifically loyal to his master, but also made clear the interests of the two countries."
He left himself some room in front of the Jurchens and tied a slip knot. But it still confused many people at the time. Some people thought that Qin Hui ignored his safety in the last years of Jingkang. Being able to "preserve loyalty" to the Zhao family is a rare thing for a country.
Loyal minister. As a result, Qin Hui's petition failed to impress the Jurchens, but instead angered them. They regarded him as a model of resistance to the Jin Kingdom. They took him out of the capital and imprisoned him in the camp.
In fact, the Jurchens established Zhang Bangchang as a puppet emperor at that time, which was only a temporary measure. They planned to consolidate their rule over Liaodong and the areas north of the Yellow River before invading the south. Therefore, at that time, the Jurchen soldiers Zong Han and others of the Jin Kingdom specifically pointed out that
On the surface, the reason why Qin Hui was asked to go was because he "deposed the objection and therefore took it." But in fact, it was because after Nian Han read the petition written by Qin Hui, he not only "felt pleased with himself as a person", but also "
He is loyal to his heart and will return with him."
In the past, Qin Hui pretended to express his opposition to the cession of territory and the creation of a different surname as emperor, but these were all to cover up his own ulterior motives. Therefore, once he was really a prisoner and faced a severe test, his character would not be the same.
start
After taking off the disguise, his true identity was revealed. He and Mo Chou were in the Jin camp. Because Zong Han was afraid of the Zhao family's revival in the future, he wanted to arrest all the Zhao and Song clans and eradicate them, but he was worried about "searching for the clan and finding something."
"It's not over yet", I'm worried and don't know what to do?
So Mo Chou first proposed a plan to Nianhan, asking him to "go to Zongzheng Temple to get the jade ultimatum (the genealogy of the royal family), and the famous ones among them will have to do all they can to escape." Qin Hui was also there at the time, and he thought: Mo Chou
This strategy is not good because some people’s clans are
Although many people are related by clan, their friendship is very distant. Although some people have the same surname, their kindness is not as good as that of people with different surnames. Since they usually cannot share the wealth and honor, once there is a disaster, they want to "equalize with each other".
It’s probably unreasonable to punish him based on human feelings.”
Qin Hui was indeed scheming. At first glance, it sounded like he disagreed with Mo Chou, but in fact Qin Hui was tactfully telling Zong Han that "it is impossible to prevent the revival of the Zhao and Song regimes by simply encompassing the clan."
Of course Zong Han also understood what Qin Hui meant, and Qin Hui also successfully demonstrated his own value in front of him, which attracted Zong Han's attention and treated him differently from then on!
Therefore, after Qin Hui arrived in the Kingdom of Jin, he was naturally able to enjoy the courtesy that other captives could not get, including food, clothing, and cars along the way. After returning to the country, Zong Han had already taken a liking to Qin Hui and already had a good impression of him.
It was precisely because of his recommendation and protection that when the Zhao and Song clan ministers were exiled, Qin Hui was the only one who was not exiled. He also defected to the enemy and became a slave of the Jurchens sincerely.
Now Qin Hui made plans to help Zong Han get rid of Xie Ye, which successfully caused a fight between the two royal families, making Zong Han the target of both sides' efforts to win over. Not only did he get rid of the current decline caused by the defeat, but he also used mediation between the two sides.
Earned more power, won Zong Han's greater trust, became his confidant, and found another stage for himself...
Thanks to the efforts of Zong Han and others, the truth about Xie Ye's death was revealed. The result was shocking. It turned out that Xie Ye had already colluded with Zhao Er of the Southern Dynasties and was controlled by him with the golden elixir. He became his
The inside story. And what really led to Xie Ye’s death
However, it was his most trusted soldier commander Muguru who gave Xieye an overdose of golden elixir, which caused Xieye to become overly excited and indulge in lust without caring about his body. Later, Mugulu was afraid of being held accountable and killed his assistant.
Mei Ji faked the suicide scene.
The matter seems to be clear at this point, but the arrest of Begulu failed. He got wind of the crime and fled without a trace. The disappearance of the key figures made the matter more confusing and full of doubts.
The guru accidentally gave his master an overdose of golden elixir by accident. Or did he do it deliberately under the instructions of others? It is not clear now.
In this way, the suspicion of Wu Qimai killing his brother has been cleared away, but it cannot be confirmed that the emperor ordered Wu Gulu to kill. The case has become an unsolved case! But now, although everyone is not talking about it, it cannot be ignored.
Think about that. Colluding with Zhao Er is just to pour dirty water on Xie Ye, giving the outside world the illusion of rape. After a long time of investigation, not only did it fail to alleviate Wu Qimai's passive situation, but on the contrary, many people betrayed their relatives and left.
Mutually.
I don’t know whether Wu Qimai suffered from high blood pressure due to too much oil and water over the years, or whether he got angry due to internal and external difficulties. Wu Qimai, who had always been in good health, suddenly suffered a stroke and was paralyzed in bed. The emperor’s brother died just now inexplicably.
, now the emperor is seriously ill, and now the country has no crown prince. If something happens, wouldn't it mean that the country will be left without a master?
So Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongfu and Wanyan Xiyin, the four most powerful kings of the Jin Dynasty, came together to ask the emperor to establish a crown prince as soon as possible. Faced with "forcing the palace", Wu Qimai had to be careful about this extremely political situation.
Issues of sensitivity.
According to the proposal of Zong Qian and others, the candidate should be born among the descendants of Aguda, so according to the practice of the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains, Aguda's legitimate son should inherit the throne. Aguda's head wife, Tang Kuo, had two sons, Wanyan Zongjun and Wanyan.
Yan Zongjie. However, the two brothers may not have been blessed with the destiny to be the emperor. In the fifth year of Tianhui, the two brothers went to see their father, Aguda, together as if they had made an appointment in advance.
Then according to the second convention of the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains, "no direct descendant". It seems that Wanyan Zongqian should be the most suitable candidate so far. But unexpectedly, Zongqian himself opposed this opinion. He expressed his disapproval.
There was little interest in being emperor, so the four of them proposed another candidate - Wanyan Dan.
This result was somewhat unexpected. However, it was under Zong Han's control. The reason why he was willing to join forces with them to stage the drama of "forcing the palace" was something he had already considered. Now Wu Qimai's condition seems to be serious. But it is not just a matter of time.
He could use this to gain the greatest benefit for himself. Under Qin Hui's suggestion, he lobbied Zong Qian and proposed this candidate. Of course, he could also make Zong Fu and Wan Yan Xi
Yin had nothing to say.
Who is this Wanyan Dan? At this time, Wanyan Dan was only a ten-year-old boy. However, although he was very young, his status was not low. Because his father was Wanyan Zongjun, and his grandfather was Aguda.
In other words, he is the eldest grandson of Aguda. In terms of status, he is indeed a strong contender for the heir.
But why did Zong Qian agree to Zong Han's suggestion that he should not be emperor, instead of pushing his ten-year-old nephew to the throne? The reason is actually very simple. Since Wanyan lost his father when he was young, Zong Qian began to adopt him.
Wanyan Dan, and treated him as his own son. Therefore, it is logical that Zong Qian strongly recommended his adopted son to be the emperor.
Even a fool would have thought that Wanyan Dan was only a ten-year-old child, still a minor. Moreover, Wanyan Dan had lived with Zong Qian since he was a child, so he was naturally close to him emotionally, and it was natural that he was now the Prime Minister.
Taking control of everything and taking charge of the government can not only reduce the resistance from Wu's begging party, but also show his noble character.
It was precisely because of this that Zong Han was able to lobby successfully for Zong Qian to recommend Wan Yan Quan. The other three people basically had the same idea as Zong Qian, so they unanimously recommended a ten-year-old child to Wu Qimai.
Royal heir.
Wu Qimai is physically ill, but it has not affected his brain. Naturally, he knows their true intention. Isn't it a joke to let a ten-year-old child be the head of the Jin Kingdom? Although Wanyan Dan is the successor in terms of status
There is nothing wrong with people, but this child has basically been pampered in the palace since he was a child and knows nothing about it. Let alone governing the country, he will definitely become a doll of one of his dear friends.
Therefore, Wu Qimai's attitude was to continue to adopt delaying tactics, neither agreeing nor objecting, and engaging in Tai Chi with the four of them. But this time, several key members of the "Agu Da Sect" seemed determined to fight Wu Qimai to the end.
In just one month, he put pressure on Wu Qimai three times in a row, demanding that Wanyan Dan be appointed as the royal heir. However, the old and frail Wu Qimai showed his style of getting stronger with age and refused to speak out under the strong pressure.
, fight them resolutely to the end.
The matter reached a deadlock again, and Zong Han, who was extremely capable, took the initiative to ask Miao to go to Wu Qimai alone and tell him the truth. As a result, Wu Qimai finally broke his silence and issued an edict at the end of April to officially confer Wanyan Dan as a gold medal.
the country's second acquaintance
Banbo is extremely fierce. The Aguda sect is naturally very excited, and for non-Aguda sects, this is not a bad result. At least the royal heir has not fallen into the hands of Zong Gan, Zong Fu and other powerful people. They should still be able to turn over.
opportunity.
The reserve position had been decided, and Wu Qimai made adjustments to personnel, allowing Zong Han to stay in the court to take care of the affairs of the court, while handing over all the military power at the front to the newly emerging Wanyan Wushu. But a new star has risen.
