Zhao Kai is not only handsome, but his voice is also very magnetic, and his tone is also very gentle, but it is creepy to listen to!

In order to get rid of the Privy Council and make money alone, Wang Hao set up a Jingfu room to take charge of the war against Jin, and the method of collecting military rations can be said to be simple and rude, according to the number of heads, how much money everyone must pay, if you don't pay, I will take someone to get it myself, in short, it is to rob, rob, and you have to be arrested to ask for the guilt.

However, Wang Hao is targeting those people, these ministers are not out of their own flesh, I don't know the pain, and now I hear Zhao Kai bring up the old things again, and he wants to attack them, so he feels extremely frightened, which is tantamount to stealing the house in disguise!

Zhang Bangchang said angrily: "Your Highness, you are doing this, it is not appropriate to be reasonable or legal, we have not broken the law, not to mention that we also want to defend Kaifeng Mansion, why do you do this, what is the difference between this and robbery." ”

Wu Min also said: "The emperor can't be like this, you are too domineering to do this." ”

"Yes! You're killing chickens and taking eggs. ”

"We are willing to support His Highness, but there are so many, we really can't take it, so I don't want to obey it."

This is related to their own interests, their tone is really tougher than the other, if they can all speak for the people like this, then how can the Great Song Dynasty fall to this!

Just as they were strongly accusing Zhao Kai, they suddenly heard a suffocating sound, and saw Zhao Kai suddenly pull out his sword from his waist, and those ministers were stunned on the spot.

Zhao Kai didn't say a word, swung his sword, and even if he slashed down.

His sword happened to be split between Huang Xinren, the salt and iron envoy, and Liang Ji, the envoy of the Du Branch, you must know that the three divisions are in charge of the world's finances, and it is clear that they want money! Frightened, the two of them screamed and sat on the ground.

Syllable!

The sword was really sharpened like clay, and as soon as the sword went down, the long table was immediately split in two. With a bang, it collapsed in the middle.

Huang and Liang were about to pee.

Don't talk about the two of them, the rest of the ministers are also in a cold sweat.

Is this still the kingdom of the literati?

In the Song Dynasty, except for the two brothers Zhao Kuangyin, the rest of the emperors were very gentle, and there were many people who played power, but no one liked to dance and play with swords.

Those people are also stupid, it turns out that this is how the court meeting was held!

There was silence, except for faint, rapid gasps.

Zhao Kai grimaced, and pointed his long sword at the table on the ground. said: "If anyone dares to hinder me from defending Kaifeng, this is his fate." ”

After all, Jiang Daoyan was born as a speech official, so he mustered up his courage and reprimanded: "Nonsense, you are simply nonsense, what is the difference between you and those robbers, you really have lost all the royal face, I-I." ”

He originally wanted to say that he would go to the emperor to impeach Zhao Kai. Suddenly, he thought that the emperor had long since disappeared, so he changed his words and said, "I will never allow you to come here like this." ”

Obviously, he still lacks understanding of this Zhao Kai.

Zhao Kai's long sword pointed directly at Jiang Daoyan, and shouted angrily: "Bastard thing." Do you still know the difference between dignity and inferiority? What is your intention to repeatedly obstruct me from defending Kaifeng? Someone, take this man down for me. ”

"Yes!"

His guards immediately ran over, swish. showed the big knife and surrounded these ministers, and two of them directly put the knife on Jiang Daoyan's neck.

Apparently. He came prepared, and this was simply a feast.

Jiang Daoyan never thought that Zhao Kai would really do this, which was unbelievable in the Song Dynasty!

This frightened those ministers, and they also understood that Zhao Kai was by no means joking, and in this tense atmosphere, they suddenly remembered something, and they all turned their eyes to a person, this person was Li Qi, who had been silent.

Although Zhao Kai is the regent, but only a small part of the military power in his hands, Song Huizong before leaving, the military talisman was divided into two and handed over to Zhao Kai and Li Qi, which is also for them to check and balance each other, but Li Qi also temporarily took the position of Gao Yu and commanded the three ya, so Li Qi has much greater military power in his hands than Zhao Kai!

If Zhao Kai wants to be hard, then he must first get Li Qi's support, otherwise, he can't be hard at all, and they also know that Li Qi and Zhao Kai have had a lot of grievances before, besides, if this makes Zhao Kai come like this, Li Qi will not be spared!

I didn't expect this guy to make such a big fuss. Li Qi was actually secretly surprised, but when things developed to this point, he could only go down, stood up, and said to the guards: "Take back the knife first." ”

Those guards were very embarrassed, on one side was the regent, and on the other hand, they were the foot marshals who held the military power, and this was not acceptable, and it was not acceptable.

It wasn't until Zhao Kai nodded lightly that they withdrew their knives.

When the other ministers saw it, they breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, if Li Qi was on their side, then Zhao Kai would not be able to make waves.

For a moment, all eyes were on Richie.

Li Qi took a deep breath and said, "Didn't you find out that I was the only one who didn't get those so-called materials?" ”

The ministers looked in front of him, but they really didn't, they all had their own ghosts, and they didn't pay so much attention, besides, Li Qi had been silent, very low-key, and no one paid attention to him.

Aren't these two having an adulterous relationship?

You're the. Li Qi saw what they were thinking at a glance, scolded secretly, and explained: "The reason is very simple, because Your Highness must have sent someone to investigate me, and knows that I am now very poor. ”

Are you poor Rich? Ghost believe! On the wealth list of the ministers of the DPRK and China, you are at least in the top three!

"You don't believe it, but it's true, I don't need to lie to you." Li Qi put his hands together and said, "I can't hide it, I only knew His Highness's intentions, but coincidentally, I thought of it with His Highness." I have already taken out all the money in my Drunken Immortal Residence and exchanged it for food to supplement the military rations, and my Drunken Immortal Residence's money is not small, so much food, it is easy to find it if you want to check, and you are welcome to verify.

You all know that I Li Qi is an out-and-out businessman, and I believe that it is difficult to find a person in the world who loves money more than me, and everyone who has dealt with me Li Qi also knows that I Li Qi does all kinds of business, that is, I do not make loss-making transactions. Why did I take out all the money this time to buy military rations for the imperial court for free? ”

The ministers were silent, it was indeed difficult for them to understand.

Seeing that these people were unwilling to be trusted, Li Qi had to continue: "Because this is the only way we can make a profit so far. There is nothing more painful in this world than when a person dies and the money is not used up. I don't want to accept this pain, so I spend all the money at this time, which is definitely not a negative statement. That's a very realistic way of saying it. Because we have now been cornered.

Those of us who are officials, usually call and support, respond to every call, and are very noble, but now we are not bullshit, our only value is to lead the people to protect our homeland, but the people must be willing to listen to us, we eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas. Let the people eat food that even pigs dislike, sit on the ground in the open air, freeze and starve, and replace it with you. Will you be willing to die for this city, for this court, or even for us? Even if they wanted to, they would not have the strength! If the city is broken. Will the mountains of gold, silver, and grain in your family still be yours? Your wife, will your daughter still be yours? Why would we prefer to leave these to the Kim army. They do not want to give to our own people, and then again, what money you have is not given by the people, why are you still thinking about your own interests at this time? ”

These ministers lowered their heads one after another by Li Qi's words, and their decades-old books were really in the dog's stomach.

Li Qi swept his eyes coldly, and continued: "Maybe now, we will lose something, but have you ever thought that once we win, we will be the heroes of my Great Song Dynasty, it is not a problem to be promoted to the knighthood, and then everything will come back, as long as my Great Song Dynasty is good, we will enjoy endless glory and wealth, once we lose, then we may even lose our lives, this game, the bet is our net worth." And the key to victory or defeat is whether all of us in the city can work together and share weal and woe. The art of war is cloudy, the time and place are favorable, and the people's hearts are the key to victory.

Of course, I am very opposed to His Royal Highness's simple and crude way, but his starting point is still for our sake, he did not ask you for a penny, just a little anxious, but in this situation, can he not be in a hurry, once Kaifeng is lost, then he is a sinner through the ages, I say this not to let everyone understand him, because this is too hypocritical, but I believe that you are also reasonable people. ”

In terms of eloquence, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with him in my life. Zhao Kai stood aside, silent, just silently praised in his heart.

Those ministers are not stupid, after hearing Li Qi's words, they feel that it is also the case, it is too late to escape now, if Kaifeng City is broken, their situation will only be worse, and he also knows that Li Qi is giving them the steps, if they don't agree now, they will tear their faces at that time, and they will only embarrass themselves in the face of those powerful men.

Under the stick and red dates, these ministers finally agreed to Zhao Kai's request.

However, Zhao Kai was afraid that there would be changes later, so he only gave them two days, and within two days, they had to vacate the house for the people to live in, and they and their relatives went to the palace to live.

After the goal was achieved, Zhao Kai also announced the end of the court meeting.

This court meeting also allowed those ministers to experience Zhao Kai's iron fist, presumably before Song Huizong came back, no one was willing to go against Zhao Kai.

Li Qi looked at the lonely backs of those ministers who were gradually moving away, turned his head, and smiled at Zhao Kai beside him: "Your Highness, what a good means!" ”

Zhao Kai smiled: "How about this trick?" ”

"High! That's high! ”

Li Qi gave a thumbs up and said curiously: "I just don't know this trick, where did His Highness learn it?" Could it be from the Fengxiang beggar? ”。

Zhao Kai glanced at him and said: "You don't talk nonsense, in fact, I learned this from Taizu Shengshang's cup of wine and release military power, when Taizu Shengshang faced a cadre of military generals, he used a literati method to withdraw military power. I thought of doing the opposite and using the way of military generals to deal with these literati, but fortunately, I still achieved my goal and did not lose the face of Taizu Sheng. ”

Li Qi raised his head and said with a smile: "You have gained far more than this, and today will be immeasurable for you." ”

I have to say that Zhao Kai made this move. It did surprise Li Qi, but it was more of a clapping, which shows that Zhao Kai is indeed much more mature.

Today, Zhao Kai is undoubtedly the biggest winner, although he has paid almost all the money, food, and the interests of these ministers, but he has gained the hearts of the people and the army, which is enough. Now is an era of war, and these pedantic ministers in the DPRK and China have almost no role, and it is good if they don't help. And Zhao Kai's purpose is to win this battle, these ministers can't help him achieve this goal, and this qiē can only be given to the military and people in Kaifeng, he naturally wants to curry favor with the military and the people, not these ministers.

This is also the reason why he chose to hold the court meeting here, he just wants to let the people know intuitively that the current regent is completely different from the previous emperor. But the best must be given to them first.

How could those people have received such favors, can they not remember Zhao Kai's goodness, although Zhao Kai spent a precious day, he was able to win the hearts of the people of Kaifeng Mansion. It's a great deal!

Of course, Zhao Kai got much more than that, he also used it to consolidate his power and establish his position as regent in one fell swoop. That's what he had to do. Because there is still a big difference between a regent and an emperor, these ministers prefer to be able to do things for the emperor rather than the regent. Because there is still an emperor above your regent, you have no right to seal me what to do, or give me anything, and the emperor has to decide what to do, I will do my best to help you, and I will not get any benefit at all, so why should I bother you.

Zhao Kai understands his situation very well, and he also knows that for these ministers, the weaker you appear, the less they take you seriously, and no matter how good you are, as long as you are not the emperor for a day, they will not surrender to you, since no matter what you do, they will not be loyal to you, so it is better to cut through the chaos quickly, and use force to deter them first, and be safe for a while, for a while.

And the situation of those generals is very different, they usually suffer from the oppression of these ministers, and now someone finally makes the decision for them, invisibly, improve their status, give them enough respect, they will naturally lean on Zhao Kai's side, not towards the emperor.

But everything has advantages and disadvantages, Zhao Kai's move is also gambling on his future, the reason why he can be so tough now is because Song Huizong and Cai Jing have left, and the military power is on his side, under this chaos, he can cut the mess quickly, and no one dares to disobey him, but he has offended ninety percent of the ministers in the court, which is also an indisputable fact, if his plan fails, then even if he holds Kaifeng Mansion, once Song Huizong comes back and takes back his military power, then he will have no day to turn over, and the days will be very sad.

Zhao Kai raised his eyes and saw a pair of eyes full of tears of gratitude looking at him, he first smiled politely at those people, and then said: "Maybe you think that my move is mainly to win the hearts of the people, but in fact, it is not." When I was in the northwest, I talked to some generals, and according to them, if the homeless people gather together and have no food to eat, there is a high risk of epidemics. Throughout the ages, many battles to defend the city have been due to the plague in the city, and the final defeat of the guide, so I must try to avoid this phenomenon and arrange a clean shelter for them as soon as possible, and there must be no delay in this matter, otherwise, once the plague spreads, even if we have thousands of troops, we will not be able to resist the erosion of the plague. ”

Li Qi really didn't think about this, because he had no experience in defending the city, and he was in a cold sweat when he heard it, if it was really as Zhao Kai said, it would be really fatal. He said with palpitations: "I didn't expect Your Highness that you have thought about it so carefully, now that there are so many displaced people, we really have to be prepared to prevent the plague, and I will let Qin Hui arrange it." However, Your Highness, such a big move in the future, I think you should discuss it with me. ”

Zhao Kai rolled his eyes and said, "I want to discuss with you, but your heart is full of your lovely wives, and you have to give me a chance." ”

"Uh, well, Your Highness is wise and decisive, of course I believe Your Highness." Li Qi wiped a cold sweat and said.

"You."

Zhao Kai shook his head with a wry smile, walked in front of those ordinary people, and learned from Li Qi's set, not to say any big truth, but to be practical, just follow me, have food and shelter.

In fact, with what Zhao Kai did today, those people were already very content, knelt down together, thanked Zhao Kai with tears, choked up, and expressed their willingness to follow the regent to the death.

Zhao Kai comforted them again, and when he saw that the hour was not early, he asked his subordinates to arrange for them to stay, and told them to take care of themselves and care about whether anyone around them was sick.

After that, he went back with Richie.

On the way back, the cries of insects and frogs in the field finally gave them a moment of peace in their hearts.

"Your Highness, what a good eloquence just now!" Li Qi said as he walked.

Zhao Kai smiled bitterly: "If these words come out of other people's mouths, I may still feel a little happy, but from your mouth, I will only think that you are deliberately sarcastic about me, I have learned all these from you, in terms of eloquence, I am far inferior to you!" ”

Li Qi laughed and said: "Your Highness is really awarded, I am a sincere person, what do I say, I never deceive people, I don't know what eloquence is." ”

Am I lying? Zhao Kai said seriously: "It turns out that what I learned from you is not eloquence, but sincerity!" ”

The two of them burst out laughing.

After laughing, Zhao Kai said with a solemn face: "Although we have millions of soldiers and civilians, our combat capability is still too low, and the defense is already very reluctant, let alone attacking, alas!" By the way, what about the Western Army? ”

Li Qi rolled his eyes and said: "Your Highness, are you joking, the Western Army is different from other armies, it is the most valued army by the emperors, if there is no military talisman, no one can be mobilized, we only obtained the military power yesterday, you also know, I only sent someone to Fengxiang last night, how can there be news so quickly, and Tong Guan transferred 30,000 troops, anyway, I can only rely on myself now." ”

Zhao Kai said embarrassedly: "It's because I'm too anxious." But I'm very worried about the fact that so many western troops have been drawn out at once, to the northwest. ”

What he said just now was easy, but it was all for those ministers, in fact, the real situation was quite grim, Xixia Ke had already surrendered to the Jin State, and their troops must have been planned a long time ago, and the purpose was to fight the Great Song Dynasty and guard it.

Fortunately, the Western Xia had its own plans, and the domestic situation in the Western Xia was also in turmoil, if not, the Great Song Dynasty would be really in danger.

Li Qi frowned deeply and said: "This is also a matter of no way, we have no ability to fight on both sides now, if we don't transfer the Western Army, even if we stubbornly hold Kaifeng, there is no chance to defeat them, we need an army that can fight the Jin Army head-on." If the Western Xia really marches into the army, we can only choose to back down, send people to negotiate, maneuver, and it is inevitable to suffer some losses. However, Xixia has to rely on our Great Song Dynasty in many aspects, as long as Kaifeng is not lost, I believe they should have some scruples, at most they will make some small moves and get a little cheap, which is for us, that is, to earn. ”

Zhao Kai looked at the sky and sighed, and said, "This is really an eventful autumn." ”

Li Qi said: "But heroes are also out of troubled times. (To be continued)
