Chapter 155 The Fall of the Empire
Li Chen's words left Zhao Heshan speechless.
He looked ashamed and said, "I don't feel regretful. The chief minister's words and deeds are not done by his ministers. Although the gentle ministers are slight, they also have ambitions. Those who are ministers should eat the king's salary and do their best. If they cannot do it, they can just hang the seal and return home... It's just that the wife and daughter at home suffer with it, which makes the gentle minister feel uncomfortable."
Li Chen smiled, not saying anything.
Li Chen is most likely not convinced of this sentence.
If Zhao Heshan was strong enough, he should have resigned directly when he was demoted. Whether it was Zhao Xuanji or Emperor Daxing, he could still stop him.
To put it bluntly, just as Zhao Heshan himself realized, he was just cannon fodder. Zhao Xuanji failed to invest in him. In the eyes of the Emperor Daxing, the label from Zhao Xuanji on him could not be washed away, so neither side would pay much attention to him.
But people who have never tasted the taste of power do not know how good it is, but once they taste it, they will eat the taste and will never be able to let go.
Zhao Heshan is not a saint and he is reluctant to give up power.
Perhaps he was in Hejian, but he still yearned for the capital in his heart.
Otherwise, why would Zhao Rui travel from Hejian to Zhao Xuanji?
To put it bluntly, everything Zhao Rui did was just for Zhao Heshan, his father, to make a comeback.
Zhao Heshan said it nicely, Li Chen listened half and threw half.
Zhao Heshan, who had been walking in front of Emperor Daxing, seemed to see something from Li Chen's performance when he was experiencing the situation. He gritted his teeth and clasped his fists and said, "Do your Highness not believe it?"
Li Chen smiled and said, "Where does Lord Zhao start this?"
Zhao Heshan said in a deep voice: "Although the conflict between Wei Minister and the Prime Minister had always existed, it never reached a complete breakdown. But what really made us rebel was that Wei Minister went to see the Prime Minister and heard him order his confidant to have an affair with the enemy country outside the door!"
After these words, the atmosphere in Xizheng Hall suddenly became sank.
"Zhao Heshan, do you know that this matter has a great relationship. If you talk nonsense, how much trouble will it cause?" Li Chen asked sternly.
Li Chen's power is becoming increasingly powerful, and the power of a man has begun to take shape. Zhao Heshan only felt that he had been stripped naked and threw himself in the snow. The biting coldness and the pressure of breathing made him feel as if he was back to the horror of the Emperor Daxing who was angry when he was walking in front of the emperor more than ten years ago.
There was no time to organize too much language, Zhao Heshan said hurriedly: "I am not a three-year-old child with yellow mouth. How can I not know the pros and cons of this matter? It is precisely because I know that I have been silent for many years and dare not mention it to anyone. However, every time I woke me up late at night. Everything seemed like yesterday. I was always remembered in my heart and dare not forget it."
A sharp light flashed in Li Chen's eyes and said, "Which country do you call the enemy country? Who do you call the affair with?"
Zhao Heshan said in a solemn voice: "The enemy country is the enemy of the Liao Kingdom for a hundred years in the Qin Dynasty. The target of Zhao Xuanji's affair is the current Prime Minister of Liao Kingdom, Wanyan Zaidao."
"At that time, the Weichen only heard a few words outside the study, and was not sure. Later, after this incident, in just two months, a conflict between the Liao Kingdom and the Qin Dynasty broke out. The Liao Kingdom actually obtained the defense map of the Yumen Pass and even mastered the patrol time. The most important thing was that the Yumen Pass was replaced at that time."
