Chapter Five Hundred and Thirteen: Ten Years of Spring and Autumn Heroes in China
Qin Hui's prime minister's mansion is located on a wide street south of Lin'an Prefecture Palace. All the neighbors are from the residences of officials of the second rank or above, similar to Wenwu Street east of Chengdu Prefecture. An official has the right to speak in the court, and you can tell whether he lives on this street.
As a generation of "traitor" ministers who control the court, Qin Hui had countless guests and the guards at the door were also first-class experts in the martial arts world. Yao Ruoyu could see at a glance that the four guards who were standing at the door and looking alert to him were all masters of the Four Realms.
"What a big deal! The four realms are perfect as the gatekeeper," Yao Ruoyu murmured in a low voice, signaling Li Yijian to leave first, then stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "King Wen of Sichuan, come to visit Prime Minister Qin."
Seeing him telling his own house, a guard laughed and said, "What is King Wen of Sichuan? I have never heard of it. Even if you come to visit my prime minister's house, you have to prepare a famous post and make an appointment in advance. Where did you come from the miscellaneous vassal king?"
Seeing that the four of them were all careless and difficult, Yao Ruoyu smiled helplessly and said lightly: "I am polite now. I am giving face to Prime Minister Qin, not to give you native chickens and dogs like you. Now I will go in and spread the news, otherwise I will not even be able to watch the door."
Since Qin Hui became the prime minister, the worst person who can visit the prime minister's mansion is also the chief officials in the border area. When treating these gatekeepers, they are always afraid of houses and black houses. The little ghosts are difficult to deal with. They beat the dog and look at the owner's attitude and try to be polite.
Therefore, after a long time, these gatekeepers had never seen a domineering person like Yao Ruoyu. They all drew their swords and sheathed them out for a while. One of them smiled fiercely: "Let our brothers not even see the door? What a big tone! Zhuo Lao Er, hurry in and call someone, and say that an assassin is coming to assassinate the prime minister!"
One of them responded, turned his head and entered the door. The remaining three of them all strode forward, staring at Yao Ruoyu with glaring eyes.
Yao Ruoyu shook his head helplessly and no longer covered his aura. The majestic aura of the fourth level of the sixth level rose up, submerging the three gatehouses that were only perfect in the four realms. He couldn't even stand steadily, and he collapsed into the ground with all his shit and urine.
As the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, who was more than ten thousand people, there were so many masters in Qin Hui's mansion. Almost at the moment when Yao Ruoyu exploded, several sixth-level soul thoughts that were not inferior to him had risen in the prime minister's mansion. Yao Ruoyu roughly calculated that there were no less than five people.
Yao Ruoyu tsk out and sighed: "It is worthy of being the powerful Prime Minister Qin. There are five sixth realm in the Prime Minister's Mansion alone. How many masters will be outside?"
"Why not the madman! You dare to come to the prime minister's house to cause trouble!"
With a roar like thunder, a burly man with a beard jumped out of the prime minister's mansion and fell into the courtyard behind the gate like a huge rock, staring at him angrily.
Yao Ruoyu put on a long robe, stepped over the three limp gatekeepers, and said calmly: "King Wen of Sichuan and Shu, come to visit Prime Minister Qin, and ask Lao Jiao to pass on one or two."
"King Wen?" The man with a beard was stunned for a moment, suddenly reacted, raised his thick eyebrows, and sneered, "But the King of Wen Yao Ruoyu, who occupied Sichuan and Shu? Why did he think he had become the king of success and dare to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to cause trouble?" As he spoke, he had already pressed the hilt of the knife at his waist.
Yao Ruoyu sighed and said loudly: "If the Prime Minister doesn't come out again, I can only do it, but by that time, we will not be able to get through."
The bearded man sneered. What kind of identity is Prime Minister Qin? How could he pay attention to such a villain who was successful? But before he could draw his sword, a person came from behind him and smiled and said, "Teacher Wu, please do it slowly. Prime Minister has an order. Please ask His Highness Wen to enter the house and talk."
Hearing the greeting of the visitor, a trace of anger flashed across Teacher Wu's face, the corners of his eyes twitched for a few seconds before suppressing the murderous intent in his heart, slowly let go of the hilt, turned his head and smiled, "Master General, is it really what the Prime Minister said?"
"How dare Qi make up the Prime Minister's order?" The visitor had a long beard on his chest, wearing a blue shirt, with a bit of the demeanor of a accountant. He approached and bowed to Yao Ruoyu, and said with a smile, "Prince, please come here."
Yao Ruoyu nodded, glanced at Master Wu, who had a ugly face, and a disdainful smile streaked across the corner of his lips. As the other party became more and more beautiful, he followed the minister Qi to the depths of the mansion.
The coach Wu suppressed him for a long time, but he couldn't help but turn around and said angrily: "Your Majesty dares to fight with a certain family?"
But he didn't expect Yao Ruoyu didn't even look back. He just raised his hand and waved it, and said with a smile: "I can even kill Li Taibai, the Western Shu Sword Sect. You, a mere sixth level, dare to speak loudly in front of me? Cherish this life!"
Teacher Wu couldn't help but get angry when he heard this, but due to Qin Hui's order, he didn't dare to draw his sword and act. He could only watch Yao Ruoyu and Qi Guanshi disappear one after another.
Yao Ruoyu followed the Qi manager all the way forward. After a moment, the two of them arrived at a pond on the west side of the prime minister's mansion.
As soon as he walked through the porch, Yao Ruoyu saw Qin Hui wearing a brown robe with her sleeves in her hands, standing by the pool like an ordinary old man, looking happily at the pool, sprinkling some rice grains from time to time, attracting koi in the pool to compete for food.
The Qi Manager seemed to be weak in his forties, but he didn't make any footsteps while walking. He was clearly a person with a high level of cultivation. He quietly came behind Qin Hui and bowed, "Prince, Your Highness Wen has arrived."
Qin Hui turned around and saw Yao Ruoyu, sprinkled all the rice grains in his hand, clapped his hands, and smiled and said, "Haha, Your Highness is here, come here to sit down, Lao Qi, serve good tea, and have been separated from King Wen for several years, so we must reminisce about the past!"
Seeing that the Qi Manager left, Yao Ruoyu sat down as he spoke, chanted in a deep voice, and was about to speak, Qin Hui was already laughing and said, "Your Highness is here, but in order to convince me to agree to send troops to attack Jin?"
Unexpectedly, Qin Hui was so straightforward. Yao Ruoyu was slightly stunned and nodded, "That's right."
Qin Hui smiled, touched the huge agate stone ring in his left hand, and sighed: "Six days ago, Chu Kuangge suddenly returned to Beijing, and then I knew about the Jin Dynasty annexing of the Western Liao Dynasty."
When Yao Ruoyu heard Qin Hui suddenly talk about this, he was a little confused, but he didn't say anything. He listened to Qin Hui continuing: "Then, first, Yue Pengju came back, and then Yang Ji came back. In the court, the three princes of different surnames, as well as the six ministers of the Shangshu, the Minister of the Secretariat, the Minister of the People's Republic of China, and the civil and military officials, all of them argued continuously."
"Chu Kuangge, Yue Pengju supports sending troops to attack Jin immediately. Su Shi, Zhao Tingzhi thinks that you can let Dawen consume the Jin Dynasty's troops first. Wang Anshi and Yang Ji have their own ideas, but it's very strange!" Looking at Yao Ruoyu, Qin Hui pointed at his nose and smiled, "So many people are quarreling, why didn't anyone come to ask me what I mean?"
Yao Ruoyu was slightly stunned, not understanding Qin Hui's meaning.
"I think in your mind, I am the kind of prime minister who will not support sending troops to attack Jin. It is best to make the entire Song Dynasty surrender to the Jin Kingdom," Qin Hui smiled and said slowly, "But to be honest! I surrendered to the Jin Kingdom, what are the benefits?"
Before Yao Ruoyu could think, Qin Hui shook his head and smiled: "I am now under one person in the Song Dynasty. Even if three princes of different surnames in the eighth realm hold most of the military power, they will at most compete with me. If I am stupid, I will find a way to surrender to the Jin Kingdom and exchange for the treatment that no one knows what kind of treatment will be. Do you think?"
After hesitating for a moment, Yao Ruoyu nodded slightly, and Qin Hui's face suddenly had a smile: "So, did you take the initiative to attack Jin this time? Chu Kuangge, Yue Pengju, Yang Ji, Su Shi, Wang Anshi, Zhao Tingzhi, Bao Zheng, Ouyang Xiu, Wen Tianxiang, they asked everyone's opinions, but no one came to ask me!"
Looking at Qin Hui, Yao Ruoyu suddenly realized something.
In history, Qin Hui did kill Yue Pengju, but was the real cause of Yue Pengju's death in history really because Qin Hui wanted to frame the loyal and kind?
It is true that when framing Yue Pengju, there were factors that Qin Hui wanted to seek more power, but more so, the Song emperor Zhao Gou at that time was afraid that Yue Pengju would welcome back the imprisoned Hui and Qin emperors who were imprisoned after defeating the Jin Dynasty.
One is afraid that his status will be lost and hopes to seek peace. As a minister, in order to seek status, he will naturally agree with his superiors and frame Yue Pengju at all costs.
But what about this era?
The current Emperor Song is only seven or eight years old and does not understand the government affairs at all. It can be said that half of the court is under the control of Qin Hui.
However, once he surrendered to the Jin Kingdom, Qin Hui may not be able to have such power. Under such a completely different situation, how could he hope that the Song Dynasty would be defeated by the Jin Kingdom?
Seeing Yao Ruoyu thinking, Qin Hui smiled and said, "No one came to ask, why did I express my opinion? I just looked at it like this, watching them all blush with a quarrel, watching them figure out what I mean, hehe, do you think it's particularly interesting?"
Yao Ruoyu was speechless, and after a while hesitated, "So, how dare you ask the prime minister what he meant?"
Qin Hui touched his chin, smacked his lips, and smiled and said, "What are the benefits of attacking Jin? If the Jin Kingdom was destroyed and Chu Kuangge and other military generals were rewarded with great contributions, it would be not as easy as before if I wanted to take charge of the court."
"But if the attack on Jin is frustrated, it will be different," Qin Hui narrowed his eyes and said with a smile on the ground. "The military's strength has been severely damaged and can no longer affect the court. My husband's chair will be much more stable."
Yao Ruoyu was silent, and he naturally expected Qin Hui's words, but if he really wanted to give his pre-conceived answer, he was still a little nervous when he was about to fight. After all, he was a genius who was good at swordsmanship, not a traitor who was good at lobbying.
Taking a deep breath, Yao Ruoyu said in a deep voice: "Prince, I think if the Jin Kingdom is destroyed, how many troops can our dynasty be left?"
Qin Hui raised his sleeves, pursed his lips and said nothing, but used his eyes to signal him to continue.
Yao Ruoyu had no choice but to continue, "If the Jin Kingdom is destroyed, it means that Chu Kuangge is empty-handed. Whether he goes south or north, it will have a huge impact on the local situation. When the north is gone, Mongolia is afraid, and when the south is retreating, the Southern Barbarians are retreating. In other words, after destroying the Jin Kingdom, we only need to survive a few years and when the vitality is restored, we will have the capital to destroy another country."
"Whether destroying Meng or Man first, after the end, our three princes of different surnames can take action. At that time, even if we break the rules that the eight realms are not allowed to take action at will, and join forces to destroy the eight realms of the remaining country, wouldn't it be okay?"
Looking at Qin Hui, Yao Ruoyu said solemnly: "Destroy the Jin, Meng, and Man Kingdoms, and our Song Dynasty will naturally unify China. As the prime minister, how powerful will you be?"
Seeing his serious gaze, Qin Hui smiled faintly, signaling the servant who had been waiting at the door to bring the tea up, and then waved his hand to signal them to retreat.
After making a pot of tea for the two of them, Qin Hui smiled slowly and said, "So, the prince will not solve the trouble for me if the military has made great contributions to the military at that time!"
For some reason, Yao Ruoyu seemed to hesitate for a while before slowly saying: "The Prime Minister thinks how much time it takes to destroy the Three Kingdoms?"
Unexpectedly, Yao Ruoyu suddenly asked this, Qin Hui was stunned and thought: "If you follow the method the prince just said, it will take at least ten years. Of course, if the Mongolian and the Southern Barbarians sent troops in advance, it might be shortened by a few years."
"That's right, in ten years, how old is the emperor today?" Yao Ruoyu said lightly.
Qin Hui was originally reaching out to touch the teacup, but after hearing this, he suddenly paused, looked at him calmly, suddenly raised his head and laughed: "It's interesting, I didn't expect that the prince and the king of Chu were not the same."
Yao Ruoyu took a deep breath and said calmly, "I am the king of Wenbang."
Qin Hui nodded, picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, and smiled and said, "That's as the prince wishes. Tomorrow's court meeting, the original meeting supports sending troops to attack the gold medal. It's just in the future. I hope the prince will not forget what he has talked about today."
Yao Ruoyu nodded slightly, stood up and said, "Then I will say goodbye first."
Qin Hui took a piece of pastry and threw it into his mouth. He waved his hand casually to show his guests. Yao Ruoyu held his fists and bowed. Under the leadership of the governor Qi who appeared, he turned around and left the prime minister's mansion.
After Yao Ruoyu left, Qin Hui took out an ancient book from his sleeve, gently stroked the cover, and murmured with playful eyes: "Everyone is a gentleman, but I am the cunning villain. I would rather let the world down than let the world down!"
His fingertips streaked across the cover, from top to bottom, and the four characters revealed a distant artistic conception.
