Chapter 534 Consensus
After learning more about the current situation, Zhao Yuan was stunned. Getting the evidence did not mean that he turned over. He was really too happy just now to think about the matter carefully.
Fang Zian is right. Based on his understanding of his father and the evidence presented to him, his father may not immediately order Qin Hui to beheaded and implicated in the nine clans. His father thinks very highly of himself. He has served his father many times.
When the emperor was around, his father told him about Taizu. He said that Taizu was born during the war and wore a yellow robe. He established the foundation of the Song Dynasty and unified the north and the south. It was an unparalleled achievement and was respected by thousands of people. He said that he was the same.
In this way, when the country was in crisis, he also rose from the chaos and turned the tide. He said that he didn't know how future generations would evaluate himself when writing about him in history. Although he may not be as good as Taizu's achievements, at least he can be regarded as inheriting Taizu's legacy.
Bar.
When my father said this, he looked extremely proud. He obviously regarded himself as a wise and mighty figure like the founder of the Song Dynasty.
The father could pray to the Jin people, but the subjects of the Song Dynasty were absolutely not allowed to slander him. Outsiders were outsiders. In the Song Dynasty, the father wanted absolute dignity and authority. Anyone who dared to slander his reputation would
They will be punished mercilessly by him. When Yue Fei and others wrote a letter with harsh words, accusing their father of being passive and lazy in the war and not thinking about regaining the lost territory, what was the result? Even a pillar of the country like Yue Fei would still be executed.
Now, the evidence in Fang Zian's hands proves that Qin Hui is undoubtedly a traitor. And his father has favored the traitor for so many years. This will become the laughing stock of the world and a stain on his life. If such a thing were written in the history books, it would be written down.
Later generations would laugh at him for thousands of years. How could my father allow such a thing to happen?
Fang Zian is right. Once the evidence is presented, his father will definitely suppress the matter and will never make it public. Everything will remain as usual. At most, Qin Hui will be killed, and even Qin Hui's family and accomplices will not be touched.
, so as not to be caught out. If Fang Zian makes the evidence public, it will definitely anger his father, and the result will be counterproductive. Fang Zian's concerns are by no means worries, the situations he is considering are indeed actions that his father would make.
"Zian, your worry is not unreasonable. I am too impatient. I am afraid that this matter needs to be done carefully. If you are not careful, I am afraid it will be counterproductive."
"Exactly, that's why I persuaded Mr. Tang and informed Mr. Tang of the matter. We have decided to take another path. Mr. Tang and I came tonight to report the matter clearly to the prince." Fang Zian
road.
"Oh? What are you going to do? How did Lord Tang know these things? Why are we standing together with you again? Lord Tang, please explain to me first."
Tang Sidui knew that Zhao Yuan was not at ease with him. He suddenly appeared here with Fang Zian, and he was talking about such a secret and important matter. The prince must be doubtful and worried in his heart.
"That's right, Your Majesty, the Lord of the rear invited me this afternoon and showed me the evidence of Qin Hui's collusion with the enemy. The official was shocked when he learned about it. The official was indeed very close to Qin Xiang, and he did help him.
I did a lot of things against my will, but I swear to heaven and earth that if I, Tang Situi, knew that Qin Hui was the work of the Jin people, five thunderbolts would be struck from the sky and I would be destroyed in body and spirit, and I would never be reincarnated. I will never be reincarnated.
He is talented, but he also knows the importance of justice and justice, and will never fail to do so.
Selling land and land to please the Jin people. I never expected that Qin Hui... this old thief would ignore his integrity and be willing to be the lackey of the Jin people. When the subordinates heard the news, they really wanted to eat his flesh and peel off his skin.
Therefore, as soon as Mr. Fang told me about this matter, I immediately expressed my intention to draw a clear line with the old thief and eliminate the traitor Qin Hui together to make up for my previous mistakes." Tang Sihui gritted his teeth and swore, his attitude was extremely sincere.
"Okay! It's not too late if Mr. Tang can understand the righteousness. You were deceived by Qin Hui before and didn't know the details. Now you wake up in time. As the saying goes, it's not too late to mend the situation after it has been lost." Zhao Yuan nodded in approval.
Tang Si retreated and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will fight the old thief until death. I have discussed it with Mr. Fang. This matter cannot be done hastily. Mr. Fang and I discussed it for a long time, and then we came up with a plan. I came here to ask the Prince
Report."
Zhao Yuan said: "Okay, okay, what are you going to do?"
Just as Fang Zian was about to speak, Tang Situi said first: "That's right, we plan to go into the palace to see the emperor and gain some benefit from the emperor. On the condition that we don't make this matter public, we will let the emperor make you the crown prince, and we will do it together."
He will abdicate the throne within a year and make way for a worthy person. In this way, this matter can be kept secret, so as to save the emperor's face and not cause turmoil and civil strife in the court. This is the best of both worlds. As for the old thief Qin Hui, the emperor can accuse him of any crime, confiscate his family and exterminate his clan, and purge his party members.
But what does the prince think?"
"Ah!" Zhao Yuan cried out in surprise, "Are you trying to force the emperor to abdicate?"
"It's not forcing, it's persuading. The emperor is completely responsible for this matter. He had to abdicate to thank the world. If Qin Hui's identity is revealed, it will make the emperor lose face. So it is better to use a compromise strategy to let the emperor know the truth.
It is the best choice for the emperor and the court if the emperor abdicates the throne in a dignified manner." Tang Si retreated.
Zhao Yuan frowned and said: "But how can he abdicate? Is he really willing to give up the throne?"
Fang Zian said softly from the side: "What would you do if it were the prince? Are you going to completely ignore the Song Dynasty and destroy the Song Dynasty that you have established with your own hands? Or should you step down with dignity and ensure an orderly handover and ensure that there is no
Will there be chaos? The emperor worked hard to stabilize the Song Dynasty. In today's situation, will he ruin his hard work? Even if he doesn't want to abdicate, he is afraid of it. "
Zhao Yuan sat down and thought about the matter carefully. He felt that Zhao Gou would not agree to abdicate, but what Fang Zian said made sense. It was impossible for his father to destroy the country and the country, and he could not ignore everything. This matter should be successful.
possible.
"My lord, if you feel that something is wrong, we can consider this matter in the long run. But...at present, the old thief Qin Hui has taken action against Mr. Fang and Mr. Shi. If it continues without resolution, Mr. Fang and Mr. Shi will be arrested by Qin Hui in the name of the imperial decree.
If captured and killed, everything will be over. The family members of Mr. Fang and Mr. Shi are also wanted. If they are caught and used to coerce Mr. Fang to hand over evidence, how will they make a decision at that time? Mr. Fang is the most beloved person.
Then there will be a dilemma." Tang Situi said in a deep voice.
Zhao Yuan nodded slowly. At this point, he really didn't have many choices. Although he was unsure, the ultimate beneficiary of this matter was himself. If his father agreed to abdicate, he would be the natural successor.
For me, it was an opportunity to turn around in one fell swoop.
Yes. So what if there are risks? Do you want to be imprisoned in the palace for the rest of your life?
"Okay, okay. I can't go with you, but I will pray for your success. But you must speak carefully, don't force him, and don't lose etiquette. In any case, he is our emperor of the Song Dynasty.
." Zhao Yuan said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will understand the situation with reason and emotion, and there will definitely not be any persecution. Besides, Lord Fang and I are just going there, how can we persecute the Emperor? This is not forcing the palace, nor is it a military remonstrance, it is just a show of force.
It's just trading and persuasion." Tang Si bowed and said.
Zhao Yuan nodded and thought to himself: Father, if I am not unfilial, you really should abdicate this time. The person you have trusted for more than ten years is actually a traitor in Jin Dynasty. I am afraid you will be ashamed and embarrassed.
I hope you can put the overall situation of the country and the country first and don't let it go. You once said that this burden is too heavy on your shoulders. You have long wanted to live out your life and enjoy happiness, so this time
When you abdicate with dignity and enjoy a happy life, don't make the whole city uproar and become disgraced. In the end, even if you are still sitting in that position, it will be boring. Everyone in the world is laughing at your stupidity. Can you bear it?
"Your Majesty, if that's the case, then we'll leave. It's too late today. Tomorrow night I will take Mr. Fang to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit. We will know what the outcome will be tomorrow night. Mr. Fang, you seem to have forgotten something.
The prince has said it." Tang Si retreated.
Fang Zian smiled and said: "Oh, you are right, Your Majesty, I do have something to ask Your Majesty to agree to."
Zhao Yuan said: "Whatever happens, you can just say it."
Fang Zian said: "That's right. I think Lord Tang is very sensible and righteous. I didn't know him well before. This incident has made me see him clearly. I think that after Qin Hui is eradicated, Lord Tang should be regarded as his ministers."
First of all, it is convenient to quickly restore order in the court. As soon as the emperor retreats and Qin Hui is eliminated, the people in the court will naturally be in panic. At this time, people like Mr. Tang need to be in charge to eliminate the influence. Let's put it this way, I hope the prince can agree to do it in the future.
Mr. Tang became prime minister and rearranged the political situation of the court."
Zhao Yuan looked at Fang Zian, and he suddenly understood. Fang Zian had given Tang Sidei a commitment to this matter, which was one of the conditions for Tang Sidei's cooperation. Although Zhao Yuan did not think that Tang Sidei's character and ability were suitable
As Prime Minister, but at this moment it is just an empty promise, there is no need to take it seriously.
"So that's what happened. You don't need to tell me. If I ascend the throne in the future, I will naturally make Mr. Tang the prime minister. Mr. Tang is the most suitable candidate." Zhao Yuan said.
Tang Situi almost burst into tears. He pretended to be shocked and said: "Master Fang, is this what you are talking about? Why should I tell the prince now?"
Fang Zian felt sick in his heart. This was actually what Tang Situi asked him to do. He directly said that he was embarrassed, so he asked Fang Zian to accompany him in such a scene.
"Master Tang, this matter is also a big deal. Once it is completed, someone needs to take charge of the overall situation, so preparations must be made in advance." Fang Zian said with a smile.
Zhao Yuan said: "Master Tang, I hope you will live up to everyone's expectations and serve the country with great loyalty in the future."
