Zhao Ding has always despised Qin Hui's ethics, and when he heard the emperor say this, he was extremely disagreeable. After thinking about it, he didn't know where Qin Hui's talent lies.
At the moment, I have to still not respond.
Zhao Huan no longer said that Zhao Ding's attitude towards Qin Hui was actually just right. Privy Councillors and the political affairs of the generals could not be in the same power, but they could not work together. For example, in the late Southern Song Dynasty, there were many people who participated in politics and served as Privy Councillors. In this way, military and political power were in hand. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the emperor had been completely undermined, and the capital was abolished and the major states were also entrusted to the prime minister. Therefore, there were no foreign relatives and the eunuchs, but the power minister was given.
This bad precedent was taken over by the Yuan Dynasty, and finally ended completely in the early Ming Dynasty.
Qin Hui had watched the fun yesterday, but he really didn't expect the emperor to summon him on this day. When the envoy arrived, the family was about to go out for a trip to relieve his mood. As soon as the imperial edict arrived, the whole family had left the mansion. The eunuchs were chasing him on horseback. Qin Hui was surprised and happy when he heard the emperor summoned him. He ignored him and left his wife and daughter. He hurried back to the mansion to change his official uniform, put on a fish talisman, and then only brought a few followers to the palace.
He rushed forward, but it was much later than usual when officials came in. Zhao Huan had already had lunch and was meeting the ministers in the hall. When Qin Hui came, he didn't say much, but only told him to wait for him to meet outside the hall.
Qin Hui didn't know what the emperor was trying to do, and he felt very uneasy. He should have been waiting in the distance in the outer hall, but he couldn't help but walk closer. Although he didn't stretch his head, he stretched his ears to listen to the movements inside.
However, although this pavilion is not very majestic and luxurious, it is also tall and spacious. The outer hall is still a distance from the inner hall. Qin Hui stretches out his head and looks open, but he can't hear anything clearly.
After a while, Zhao Ding came out of the hall with a few military officials. Seeing Qin Hui waiting outside in a red robe, he was stunned at first and waited for Zhao Ding to introduce him to everyone. Qin Hui realized that Xu Fan was Yue Fei, who was famous recently and commanded heavy troops to station in Xiangyang.
The people of Song Dynasty have always looked down on military officials and are very cautious. Although the situation is special at this time, Qin Hui, as the prime minister, never showed good things to a military official. He immediately nodded and smiled, said a few perfunctory words, and then called him.
Yue Fei didn't care and should have quit. Before leaving, he finally couldn't bear it and smiled at Qin Hui: "My grandson has been in charge of foreign affairs for a long time, and even though he participated in politics, he has benefited many places. Now some people are attacking him, and they are also trying to prevent the problem from getting worse. Most of the ministers in our dynasty will do this, but my grandson doesn't have to worry about it."
Qin Hui had never heard of these intimate words in the past few days, but this general said a few words indifferently, but almost taught Qin Hui to shed tears.
He was extremely moved. He didn't know how to answer for a while, but he heard Yue Fei say again: "I have always admired my husband and talked too much. I don't have any personal hearing."
Qin Hui knew that the other party did not want to have any personal relationship with him, and making friends with civil officials was a taboo in the court, so he said this.
At that moment, Zhengrong replied: "How dare you, how dare you treat the public with your own intentions?"
The two bowed and smiled. Zhao Ding didn't like Qin Hui. Although Yue Fei only spoke from official business, he was very unhappy. He immediately nodded to Qin Hui and then withdrew.
Qin Hui knew that the emperor was waiting for him, so he didn't dare to delay any more. He arrived at the gate of the palace and invited him to see him. After hearing Zhao Huanxuan's advance, he didn't say anything. He walked in and bowed his head as soon as he entered the door.
Before he could look up, he heard Zhao Huan laugh and said, "Prepare a seat for the prime minister."
Qin Hui heard Zhao Huan's tone gentleness. When he looked up, he saw a smile on his face, which did not look angry, and felt relieved. When the eunuch came over the chair, he sat down steadily.
Zhao Huan was not in a hurry to speak, but just looked at Qin Hui's behavior.
I saw that he was wearing a neat red robe, and his waist was also in an orderly manner. Since it was not a court meeting, he only wore a soft-legged head. Although he was just middle-aged, his beard had already drooped and his long combed was still combed without any mess.
He only looked at it, but Qin Hui couldn't hold on anymore. He immediately confessed his guilt and said, "I am not responsible for my duty. Please go to the prime minister. After going to the local government, you can benefit the people and train the local area, and then go to the dynasty to do business."
Zhao Huan knew very well about him, even Qin Hui himself, and he didn't know that his old background was actually known clearly by Zhao Huan. It was like two people playing cards, and one side's trump card was touched clearly by his opponent, so he naturally had a disadvantage everywhere.
This person is greedy for power and position, loves pleasure, likes wealth, fears weakness, and wants to spend the day safely. Therefore, he caters to Zhao Gou, and has been prime minister for many years without caring about state affairs, but only realizes the emperor's will.
However, Qin Hui is proficient in power and knowledgeable and judgement. Those who can win over need to be excluded must be killed. The distinction between political enemies is clearly clear. After Ren Jing's reign for a long time, even Zhao Gou was very afraid of him, and Daquan was worried about losing his power.
Zhao Huan knew clearly in his heart that there is naturally no reason for such a person to be defeated by his power, position, wealth and honor. However, he should be careful and not make him stand up. Therefore, he is respectful to Li Gang, but he is guarded against this person.
But how to start to prevent is to use it from the heart. For example, knocking it at the right time is a method.
After hearing Qin Hui confessed his guilt, Zhao Huan was not in a hurry to answer his words. He asked leisurely: "Yue Fei has just gone out, do you know each other?"
Qin Hui became more and more confused. He didn't know that Zhao Huan had a strange mind, and he wanted to know how this pair of the most famous enemy in history viewed each other, so he had this question.
In fact, just because of Qin Hui's murder of Yue Fei, Zhao Huan was consciously light on killing him for a hundred times. However, this person had not been revealed at the time, so he could not just kill him with just one knife. Besides, he was indeed a capable official. Zhao Huan has used it easily in recent years and felt that using this person to trample mine formations was quite fun, so he became more and more reluctant to take action against him.
He immediately answered carefully: "I have never known Yue Fei."
Zhao Huan smiled and asked him again, "I believe in Yue Fei and asked him to command the troops. I have been a bit of gossip recently, what do you think?"
Qin Hui felt a "knock" in his heart, knowing that this is important.
I went to see Zhao Huan's face, but it was unpredictable and I really didn't know what the emperor intended.
Should I ask myself seriously, or would I be wary of Yue Fei?
He worked quickly in his mind, thinking about it all over and over, and finally felt that he needed to be careful. So he replied: "I think that Yue Fei is indeed a loyal minister and a good general. He commanded 100,000 troops as the general, and he also has it in this dynasty. But it cannot be a common example. After a long time, it will inevitably lead to a big loss. The warriors do not study and do not understand the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period. Once the situation is difficult to control, it will inevitably be too arrogant. Please pay attention to your Majesty."
Zhao Huan was so anxious that his answer was smooth and clean, and he not touched the whole side. He not only affirmed Yue Fei's ability, but also asked the emperor to pay attention to the general's difficulties. He was anxious, but he was also sorry for his desire to come out.
Zhao Huan just wanted to laugh. Although this answer was clever, it was exactly in line with his guess about Qin Shuan's personality.
But he just kept silent and said to Qin Hui: "Although you said that, Yue Fei just realized that you were coming to Beijing for guilt, but he said a few good words in truth."
Seeing Qin Hui waiting for him to speak with his ears, Zhao Huan said lightly: "I say he is a military minister and I need to be cautious in commenting on the court officials. However, I am not afraid of suspicion and dare to speak out in a blunt way. I am also very loyal to him."
Qin Hui was so grateful that he nodded quickly and said, "Yes, Yue Fei is indeed a loyal and righteous person, and I admire him very much."
Qin Hui thought it was solemn, but he didn't know that Zhao Huan's belly was almost broken. Yue Fei was straightforward and knew that since the failure of the Renzong restructuring, Shenzong had also failed, and the country had suffered from poverty and weakness for a long time. For example, during the Renzong reign, the country raised millions of soldiers, and the court officials and officials also had one million. During the Han Dynasty, seven or eight thousand people raised one official, and the Song people had more than two thousand people raised one official. In addition to the many officials in the yamen, the number could only be described as terrible. The Song Dynasty officials adopted a lifelong system. Even if they made mistakes and crimes, they were only demoted and demoted, and few severe punishments were dismissed. This tradition has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and it is extremely difficult to change a little. Yue Fei didn't know that Qin Hui was driven to the shelves by Zhao Huan. He thought that this person was as brave as Wang Jinggong and dared to serve in the world, so he admired and praised it.
Zhao Huan knew the details well, and when he looked at Qin Hui's appearance at this time, he felt overwhelmed.
But he had been the emperor for a long time and couldn't help but take a little bit of the way of thinking of the people of the times. He realized that it was unconventional to trick the ministers in this way. Because he stopped smiling, he turned his mind and suddenly scolded Qin Hui: "You are impeached this time because you are not careful in your duties!"
"Yes, my crime is unforgivable. Please give up your crime."
Qin Hui was far from the so-called character of the ministers of the Song Dynasty. When he heard the emperor scolded him, he immediately stood up and pleaded guilty.
Zhao Huan scolded with a stern face: "How many years have you been the prime minister? In the past few years, there was a difficulty in financial resources. I could not reward ministers with money like my ancestors. Your salary is not enough to buy how many acres of land?
One hundred acres? But in the past few years, you have bought land everywhere and now you have recorded the land under your name. It has been nearly a thousand hectares. Isn’t it fake for the Censor to impeach you to be greedy?"
Qin Hui was indecisive. Although it was late autumn, his forehead was covered in sweat.
In fact, the indescribable income of officials in the Song Dynasty has become an example, and few people have been impeached for this. For example, Fan Wenzheng, who is famous all over the world and worried about the world before he was worried, bought 10,000 acres of fertile land for less than a few years. This kind of thing has always been a tradition among scholars and officials, and it is not necessary to say it.
However, Zhao Huan reformed the censorship system, unlike before, who simply regarded Jinshi as the censor, and attached great importance to the crime of corruption. He used this reason to deal with many ministers. Qin Hui has been extremely restrained in the past two years, but he was still exposed and bitten.
When talking about the tradition of the Song court, a prime minister was scolded in this way, and had no other choice except to resign and completely withdraw from the political stage.
