After reading the secret letter, Qin Huizhi's expression changed and he quickly put the secret letter into his sleeve.

After a while, he took out the secret letter again and read it twice carefully.

Unlike many people's impressions of the Qin Huizhi who was deep-seated, sinister and ruthless, the real Qin Huizhi in history was actually a man with a violent temper, poor self-cultivation, irritable and irritable, and a man of no reputation.

For example, in history, he often quarreled and quarreled with his colleagues and friends in a very disrespectful manner. There were basically no friends of his in the entire court. Even his own party members were frequently purged and replaced, and there was never any party member who was at odds with him.

There is only one Wang Ciweng.

And such a person who has no ability, no business, and no bottom line can only rely on betrayal to gain the support of the Jin people in order to control the government until his death.

This secret letter from General Han Fuyue made Qin Huizhi, who had no city and was very impatient, beam with joy.

"General Meng came all the way and worked hard. What General Han said in his secret letter...is it true?" Qin Huizhi looked at Meng Lin in front of him, his face was pleasant, and his flattery was beyond words.

Meng Lin nodded: "Yes, Prime Minister Qin. General Han ordered me to come here precisely to show his sincerity.

"As long as Prime Minister Qin is willing, General Han is willing to cooperate internally and externally to help Prime Minister Qin take another step forward.

"Please believe, Prime Minister Qin, that the Zhaoyi Army is more reliable than the Jin people in this regard.

"What's more, Prime Minister Qin already has the support of the Jin people. If he gets the help of the Zhaoyi Army, wouldn't this matter be easily accomplished?"

Qin Huizhi laughed loudly, obviously very pleased with it: "I think General Han is a smart man. It is true, it is true!"

Meng Lin felt a little sick when he saw Qin Huizhi's face.

But he had no choice but to keep smiling for the mission assigned by General Han.

Meng Lin was the lieutenant general who initiated the mutiny when Qin Hui ordered Tian Shizhong to lead a partial division to cooperate with the Jin people in attacking Zhaoyi Army.

At this time, Meng Lin was already one of Zhao Haiping's direct generals.

After all, Meng Lin launched a mutiny and almost risked his life, property, and even his whole family.

If Qi Chao really breaks his skin, it is possible that he and his whole family will be executed for treason.

Although the Qi Dynasty later did not dare to act rashly due to the intimidation of the Zhaoyi Army, and even sent the families of many Zhaoyi Army soldiers back to the North for reunion, Meng Lin's loyalty to the Zhaoyi Army needs no introduction.

Of course, Meng Lin hated Qin Huizhi with all his heart.

But for this mission, he is indeed the most suitable candidate.

After pinching his nose and chatting with Qin Huizhi at the banquet for a while, the meeting finally got down to business.

Qin Huizhi lowered his voice: "General Meng, I don't know what General Han said in the secret letter. How should we do it?"

In this regard, Qin Huizhi was certainly ambitious.

Strictly speaking, Qin Huizhi was a failure in all aspects, but was extremely destructive.

When he was alive, he relied on the promise of the Jin people to remain independent for more than ten years. He even attempted to enter Jiuxi and seek to usurp the throne.

It was just because of his lack of ability that this attempt never came to fruition.

Although he has been the sole prime minister for more than ten years, and the emperor cannot remove him, he can retain the power of officials at will. After struggling for a long time, he has only promoted a bunch of shameless people, which has led to a weakening of the military and political affairs.

The atmosphere is filthy, and the attempt to usurp the throne is far from successful. It can only be said that a waste is a waste no matter what it does.

But now, this secret letter from General Han Fuyue allowed him to see the possibility of succeeding in the usurpation more than ten years in advance. How could he not be anxious?

It's just that Qin Huizhi obviously doesn't understand at this time, how to act?

He has this evil intention, but at this time Qi Gaozong is still the unquestionable emperor of the Qi Dynasty. Although the recall of General Han Fuyue was a bit unpopular, but after all, he has not really killed Han Fuyue unjustly.

General, so the public resentment is not very great.

What's more, even if he unjustly killed General Han Fuyue, it would not be enough to shake his status as emperor.

Under this situation, Qin Huizhi's IQ is really hard to imagine how to operate.

He originally hated General Han Fuyue deeply, but as soon as he heard that General Han Fuyue could help him "land in Dabao", he immediately changed his face and started to kneel and lick him.

Zhao Haiping had already explained everything to Meng Lin in detail before he came, so when Qin Huizhi asked, he would follow the explanation and explain it carefully.

"Prime Minister Qin, the key to this matter lies with...Emperor Yuan Sheng."

Listening to Meng Lin's analysis, Qin Huizhi's eyes gradually brightened.

It is indeed too difficult to directly seek to usurp Qi Gaozong's throne.

Even if Qin Hui's power is overwhelming, it is basically impossible to achieve this with his political skills.

However, what if Qi Gaozong was abolished first, Qi Yingzong was promoted to the throne, and then Qi Yingzong was abolished?

With this extra step, will the success rate be greatly improved?

One of the biggest difficulties in seeking to usurp the throne lies in the legitimacy of rule.

If these royal family members of the Qi Dynasty want to seize the throne, especially if the elder brother of the emperor like Qi Yingzong wants to seize the throne, there is really only a layer of window paper between them, which can be said to be broken with a poke.

But if a minister like Qin Huizhi wants to seize the throne, it will be in trouble, because he is separated by a mountain.

Of course, if Qi Yingzong wants to seize the throne, even though there is only a layer of window paper between him, this layer of window paper still needs to be stabbed by ministers with enough weight to help him.

For example, in real history, why did Qi Gaozong actually not need to worry that Qi Yingzong would threaten his throne?

Because according to normal people's thinking, General Han Fuyue of Qiancheng was single-handedly promoted by Qi Gaozong and was Qi Gaozong's confidant. As long as Qi Gaozong retains General Han Fuyue, and General Han Fuyue holds military power to support him, Qi Yingzong will be with him for the rest of his life.

Don't even think about seizing the throne. Even if Qi Gaozong dies and Xiaozong succeeds to the throne, Qi Yingzong will never be able to win.

What's more, General Han Fuyue was not the only important minister under Qi Gaozong.

It can be said that the vast majority of courtiers in the court support Qi Gaozong. In this case, how can Qi Yingzong seize the throne if no one cooperates?

But the situation is different now.

General Han Fuyue was almost forced to rebel by Qi Gaozong.

And all the power in the court fell into the hands of Qin Hui.

If Qin Huizhi really helped Qi Yingzong up at this time... then Qi Gaozong really had almost no power to resist. After all, after Qin Huizhi's purges, the court really dared to defy Qin Huizhi's power and position support.

How many of his ministers are left?

Qin Huizhi's power was conferred by Qi Gaozong, but now, Qin Huizhi's power has gradually belonged to him, and Qi Gaozong is in a weak position.

If this step can be successful, it will be much easier to usurp Qi Yingzong in the next step.

Because when Qi Gaozong was in power, Qin Huizhi would still restrain himself, and some ministers in the court supported Qi Gaozong.

But once Qi Yingzong came to power and there was no manpower in the court, the power would further fall into the hands of Qin Huizhi.

Qi Yingzong was the chief culprit of the Jingping Incident. He had neither the support of the people nor the support of the ministers in the court at this time.

If Qin Huizhi finds another opportunity to destroy him, the possibility of succeeding in his next attempt to usurp him will be greatly increased.

Of course, no matter how good the plan is, it still depends on the actual implementation.

Considering that Qin Huizhi has only gotten to where he is today with no bottom line, it is questionable whether he can go through it step by step. But no matter what, this is the only way for Qin Huizhi to plot to usurp the throne.

possibility.

It depends on whether it is successful or not, but how can you be willing to do it if you don’t give it a try?

In this process, Qin Huizhi certainly needed the support of the Jin people and the Zhaoyi Army.

Needless to say, the support of the Jin people. During the peace talks, the fact that "you cannot go to the prime minister without guilt" directly helped Qin Huizhi keep his position for more than ten years and was a guarantee for his power in the government.

And the support of General Han Fuyue is even more useful than the support of the Jin people.

Because the Jin people are separated after all.

At this time, Zhaoyi's army controlled the entire north, and the Jin people could not defeat them.

As the saying goes, "distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors." It is true that Qin Huizhi is closer to the Jin people, but Zhaoyi Army, who is closer at this time, can help him more.

What's more, General Han Fuyue has a very high reputation in the hearts of the people in the north and the south.

If he can get the support of General Han Fuyue, whether it is actual or verbal, it will make Qin Huizhi depose Qi Gaozong and support Qi Yingzong more smoothly.

After all, didn't Qin Huizhi's rise to a high position rely on his internal and external cooperation with the Jin people?

At this time, if the Jin man is replaced by General Han Fuyue, he will be more familiar with the road and have no burden.

Originally, Qin Huizhi wanted to put General Han Fuyue to death because General Han Fuyue was a treacherous official in the court and would threaten his status. But now, General Han Fuyue has turned into a rebellious official and a traitor.

Now? Still want to cooperate with him?

Then it was too late for Qin Huizhi to kneel down and lick her.

After the troops retreated, Qin Huizhi had a long secret conversation with General Meng Lin.

And a palace coup surrounding Qi Gaozong and Qi Yingzong began to take shape...

…

On this day, the sea is clear and the river is clear, and the world is peaceful.

It's just that the current emperor Qi Gaozong is a little ill.

I occasionally feel cold, cough, and have some fever.

After seeing it, the imperial doctor prescribed a prescription. After that, Qi Gaozong felt dizzy and always wanted to sleep.
