"Of course I think about regaining the Central Plains all the time!"
"But is it really as easy as you say?"
"I know that you wholeheartedly want to help me succeed to the throne and become the emperor, but after all, my father has raised me since I was a child. How can I be so ruthless and unjust to him and do such a heinous thing?"
"I'm afraid I really can't agree to this third item, Xu Qing, right?"
Zhao Shen was born with a reputation for benevolence and filial piety, so naturally he was unwilling to treat his adoptive father Zhao Gou like this.
"All right!"
"Since Your Highness is not determined to regain the Central Plains, it is useless for me to say more!"
"If I, Xu Xian, can help His Highness repel the golden soldiers this time, then it will be enough to ask Your Highness to allow me, Xu Xian, to retire to the world with my wife!"
Of course Xu Xian understood that his actions must have offended the current emperor Zhao Gou. If Zhao Gou regained power in the future, even if he did not return to seclusion, he would end up no more than Yue Fei. At this time, he could only find a way out for himself.
"Xu Qing, if you can help me defeat the Jin soldiers this time, you will be a famous general in the Song Dynasty. Why do you need to mention the idea of going into seclusion?"
"If Xu Qing, you are really worried that you will end up like Yue Fei, then I can guarantee that in the end of my life, you, Xu Xiandu, will be our number one hero in the Song Dynasty, and you will enjoy the gold medal of immunity from death given by me!"
"If anyone dares to harm Xu Qing, he must kill me first!"
Zhao Shen assured Xu Xian.
So Zhao Shen issued an imperial edict and made Xu Xian the Minister of the Ministry of War. Tong Zhongshu made peace with his family and was directly promoted to the prime minister.
In order to buy time to recruit troops and delay the Jin army's southward march, Xu Xian ordered the navy to guard Tianzhan on the Yangtze River, and at the same time sent a letter to Han Yanzhi, asking him to organize soldiers to return to the north of the Yangtze River to harass the Jin army's rear.
Next, Xu Xian took Zhao Shen's edict and began to rehabilitate Yue Fei.
Xu Xian first asked people to find Yue Fei's two surviving sons, Yue Zhen and Yue Lin, and requested that the crown prince Feng Yue Zhen be made General Zhongwu and Yue Lin be made General Dingyuan, serving as his right-hand man.
After that, Xu Xian led two people and a group of soldiers to the gate of Qin Mansion first.
"Is the son of Qin Hui living here?"
Xu Xian then questioned the gatekeeper in the Qin Mansion.
"You...what do you mean?"
"Don't you know that my late master was Prime Minister Qin of the Song Dynasty?"
"Are you so bold that you dare to break into the old prime minister's mansion?"
The gatekeeper seemed to have a very arrogant expression.
"Okay, what we are going to break into today is Qin Hui's Mansion!"
"Yue Lin, Yue Zhen, you brought people into the mansion and confiscated all the mansion for me. The family members were made into official prostitutes, and the men were made into young men. As for Qin Hui's son Qin Xi, he had an affair with his father. He not only collaborated with the enemy but also betrayed the country. , and even killed countless loyal people, and arrested them directly, and wanted to interrogate the truth in person!"
Following Xu Xian's order, Yue Zhen and Yue Lin immediately rushed into Qin Hui's mansion with their men.
After all, Yue Zhen and Yue Lin both came with deep hatred, so the entire Qin Mansion was in a state of panic and wailing in less than a moment.
Xu Xian did not enter the Qin Mansion immediately, but waited happily outside. After all, he could finally help Yue Fei avenge his unjust death.
"Report back to Prime Minister Xu!"
"From the Qin Mansion, we found his family property, including 300,000 taels of gold, 30 million taels of silver, gold and silver jewelry... countless fields!"
"This is the list of searches of the Qin Mansion!"
A few hours later, Yue Lin came out first holding a stack of documents.
Xu Xian took a look at the large list of confiscations and was shocked. He didn't expect that Qin Hui had been dead for six years, but there was still so much property in the Qin Mansion.
One can imagine how terrifying Qin Hui's corruption was back then.
"Okay, since the Qin Mansion has so much property, I can just ask His Highness to use all these properties as military expenses to fight against the gold!"
Xu Xian was worried that he would not have military pay by then.
"Xu Xiang, my brother Yue Zhen discovered a large number of calligraphy and painting objects in Qin Hui's secret room. I heard that you have always been fond of calligraphy and painting, so my brother specially asked me to invite Xiang Xu to go in and select them in person!"
Of course, Yue Lin also found out that Xu Xian liked calligraphy and painting, so he wanted to repay Xu Xian with this.
"good!"
"Then I will personally review Qin Hui's stolen goods!"
After Xu Xian finished speaking, he followed Yue Lin into the Qin Mansion.
After a while, Xu Xian followed Yue Lin to a secret room in the mansion.
"Xu Xiang, look at the painting in my hand. It is the portrait of Master Li painted by Emperor Huizong himself!"
At this time, Yue Zhen was counting the calligraphy and paintings in the secret room. When he saw Xu Xian arriving, he hurried over to greet him.
"Li Shishi, once the number one courtesan in Bianliang, was so beautiful as a flower. If it hadn't been for Emperor Huizong's wonderful writing, I'm afraid no one in the world would have seen Li Shishi's beauty again!"
"Okay, I'll keep this painting!"
Xu Xian naturally admired this painting very much. After all, it was an authentic work by the famous calligraphy painter Huizong of the Song Dynasty.
"Okay, you don't need to register this painting!"
Yue Zhen began to give orders to those who registered.
"Xu Xiang, look!"
"This is Wang Xizhi's authentic "Send-off Notes"!"
"I heard that it was something Wang Xizhi personally gave to his brother-in-law when his sister got married!"
"What do you think?"
At this time, Yue Lin brought another painting for Xu Xian.
"Forget it about this "Send a Gift Sticker"!"
"I'm only interested in Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Preface"!"
Xu Xian is a person with eyes higher than his head.
"Then... what about the "Horse Picture", an authentic work by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty?"
Yue Zhen brought another painting and spread it out for Xu Xian to admire.
"Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was not a master of calligraphy. The horse pictures have no momentum at all. They cannot be considered high-quality productions, not at all!"
Xu Xian took one look at this painting by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and naturally disdained it.
"Then... what about this copy of "The Poppy" written by Empress Li herself?"
Yue Zhen brought another piece of calligraphy and painting.
""poppy"?"
"Isn't this Empress Li's eternal masterpiece?"
"When did the spring flowers and autumn moon come? How much do we know about the past...!"
"This authentic work of Empress Li is the only one in existence. It is a priceless treasure, but it was actually obtained by Qin Hui. It seems that Qin Hui's corruption is serious, one can imagine!"
"I'll accept this "Poppy" for now!"
"As for other calligraphy and paintings, there is no need to bring them to me for inspection. Just register them all!"
After Xu Xian got these two priceless treasures, Song Huizong's "Portrait of Master Li" and Li Yu's "Yu Meirenzi", he didn't have much interest in other calligraphy and paintings.
After the Qin Mansion was raided, Xu Xian, at the suggestion of Yue Lin and Yue Zhen, sent people to dig up Qin Hui's tomb, dragged his body into Lin'an City and paraded it to the public.
"Marshal Yue has finally avenged his injustice!"
"Qin Hui, this great traitor, really deserves what he deserves for his crime!"
"is not that right?"
"I think back then, Marshal Yue tried his best to regain the Central Plains, but Qin Hui went so far as to slander him, causing Marshal Yue to die unjustly in prison!"
"Now Marshal Yue's great revenge has finally been avenged. This is all the credit of Prime Minister Xu, the credit of Prime Minister Xu!"
"We want to thank Prime Minister Xu very much, thank you so much Prime Minister Xu!"
"is not that right?"
"Prime Minister Xu...!"
"Prime Minister Xu...!"
"...!"
When Qin Hui's body was dragged away in Lin'an City, countless people jumped out and cheered and ran out to celebrate. In the end, the people even began to be grateful to Xu Xian. This chapter has been completed!
