Chapter 173: Painstaking

Qin Hui said goodbye to the emperor before Shi Shiran went to Xiongzhou to take office, don't look at him as just a deputy envoy, but he hangs the title of 'Hanlin Bachelor', this position is equivalent to the emperor's adviser and secretary, with great power, known as the prime minister, often the prince of the prime minister, that is to say, don't look at the buddies now are just a bag, maybe one day he will become the ruler of the court, so the court, the local ministers are still full of respect for him.

Qin Hui is also eagerly looking forward to the day of 'entering the phase', he has long been accustomed to seeing rain and snow in the officialdom, and the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty has been like a marquee over the years, I will appear before you sing, many people who are not favored will suddenly rise inexplicably, how can they not be?

Compared with the current Li Gang, Zong Ze, Zhang Shuye and other old ministers, Qin Hui consciously has qualifications and no worse reputation than them, as for Zhao Ren, Zhao Yong and others, they feel that they can't be compared with themselves, they are just through the light of the ministers of the hidden palace, relying on the emperor to have their current status, and they can't compare to themselves who have struggled step by step, so they don't take these 'little characters' in their eyes.

However, Qin Hui soon found that he did not gain the trust of the emperor, although he became a scholar of Hanlin, but he could not enter the inner circle at all, and all he did was to draft edicts, copy and write the work. Occasional inquiries are only about what he has seen and heard in the Jin Kingdom, the customs and customs of the country, and his life there over the years, and has never involved military affairs, let alone consulted him.

Qin Hui, who was 'snubbed', quickly reacted, and thought of the root knot of his distrust, that is, his value was not enough to make the emperor tempted. Thinking about it, he is also known as 'Jin Guotong', but he has not offered any strategy to break the enemy. And now was the time for the 'war and peace debate' to be in full swing, so he did not stop doing it, and declared that he had a good plan at a meeting. It will be able to 'sensational the world', and it will be able to change the current trend of Song and Jin without moving a single soldier!

At this moment, it was the time when the 'doves' were in a weak position, and immediately a bunch of people posted it waiting for Qin Hui to break the news, and everyone rushed to ask him what good tricks he had come up with! But he shook his head and sighed, saying that Li Gang, who is now a 'hawk', is the prime minister, and his own strategy is more than bearable to him, and the result is still that he can't do anything, and it's not in vain.

Everyone understood and dispersed, and the Qin scholars were waiting for the price to sell. Is this good policy in exchange for the position of prime minister! It's a really good idea, a good calculation... The wind was released, but it didn't seem to reach the emperor's ears, and although Qin Hui was in a hurry, he pretended to be innocent and didn't take the initiative to give advice. He knew that the result he said was very different from the result asked by the emperor, and he could only hold back. Even if you are constipated, you can say it.

At the right time. The emperor offered to inspect Jiangnan, and Qin Hui felt that his opportunity had come. Now there is no prince in the country, and according to his observation, although the emperor is respectful to the emperor, he will never hand over power to him, as for the queen who heard that she is pregnant, she will not bother to take care of state affairs, as for those brothers, I am afraid that the emperor really can't believe it. As a result, the emperor will leave Beijing and there will be no suitable candidate to supervise the country.

After some analysis. Qin Hui thought that the emperor was most likely to hand over the power left behind to Prime Minister Li Gang, and Li Gang had outstanding advantages, and his shortcomings were also very clear that he would not unite his subordinates. As soon as the emperor left Beijing, he had no backer, and as long as he used a little trick, he would cause a little turmoil. And the emperor's character he also analyzed, although he is not informal, but he must not violate his principles, and he is very 'lazy', impatient with those red tape official documents, and finally goes out of the city, and will put all the official affairs aside, then Li Gang will be miserable...

Sure enough, as Qin Hui thought, after the emperor decided to leave Beijing, he began to choose the ministers who stayed behind, so he took advantage of his ability to get close to the emperor, and seized the opportunity to sing praises to Li Gang in front of the emperor and hundreds of officials. It is said that when he was commanded to be in danger, he took care of the affairs of the state for him when the Holy One was away, and his loyalty was needless to say; After ascending the throne, he was loyal and undouble-minded to assist the saint, and he was definitely a capable minister and official with all his heart, and what was even more rare was that he could be civil and martial, and had the ability to resist strong enemies.

Qin Hui's meaning is very clear, Li Gang is naturally the best person to stay in Beijing, not only can he entrust him with political affairs, but also hand over the military power at the front to him, and it is best to take over even the Privy Council and take full charge of state affairs. Not only that, but the honor comes from the position, and he should also be awarded three public titles to commend his outstanding contributions to the country. And he, the director of the 'Emperor's Office', can help Li Xiang deal with countless, annoying, and endless small affairs, and the emperor can patrol with peace of mind when he is outside and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River!

Qin Hui's performance made the government and the opposition praise, this is really too virtuous, too kind, what a sincere person who forgets selfishness for the public! And soon some discerning people saw that Qin Hui was advancing by retreating, and wanted to use his status as a bachelor of Hanlin to come out and be a real internal minister. The officials in the DPRK and China are all people who have been left behind after several purges, and they still retain the mentality of liquidation, and they understand what is going on in an instant. Qin Hui did this, just to learn from Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng and the like back then, and they all had to monopolize power.

It's normal to take power, everyone thinks about it, but your Qin Hui's appearance is too ugly! Where is this, compared with Cai Xianggong back then, he went through more than 20 years of hardships before and after, and he was born with the same interests as the emperor, so he climbed up to control the overall situation. Even those who are still junior Zhao Ren in the eyes of everyone are young people, and they were born and died with the official family, and the love forged in the rain of bullets is not comparable to a captive you just escaped from the Jurchens. Why do you have the power to do it?

On weekdays, everyone puts on a cute appearance, doing selfless things while making small moves under the table, but unfortunately officialdom is like a vegetable market, what is the transaction, who did what with whom, everyone is clear at a glance, of course, it will not be easily punctured. So, Qin Hui was tragic. When everyone knows his face and his methods, how can he still play?

And the result naturally disappointed Qin Hui. The emperor followed his suggestion and set up a temporary leading group headed by Li Gang, with Zong Ze and Zhao Ren as deputies, to stay in Beijing and assist the empress dowager in handling state affairs. And Qin Hui also had to leave the capital and cross the river to Xiongzhou after seeing off the emperor.

At this point, Qin Hui finally despaired, the emperor treated him like this, which meant that his last straw also floated away, and also let him see the difference of this new monarch, unlike Zhao Huan, who would easily trust a person, and would not easily change his decision because of the interference of others. This time was a lesson and a warning to him, and it also made Qin Hui realize that he was just a beginner liar, and he was still a little liar with no foundation and no strength...

Despite his reluctance, Qin Hui still came to Xiongzhou, and together with Ma Kuo, he went to Waqiaoguan to prepare for negotiations with Jinguo. But Jin Guo, who had been in a hurry to negotiate, picked up the shelf after receiving the report that the Song envoy had arrived in Xiongzhou, and refused to show up for a long time, as if it was not that they were crying and shouting to negotiate, but that the Great Song begged them. Ma Kuo simply ordered someone to shoot a letter and told him that the envoy would not accompany him for less than three days.

Hey, some people are cheap, so they can't do things after talking about it, and you give him some color immediately. After this most oblique ultimatum was issued, the envoys of the Jin State immediately appeared, but this kid was not a good master, just a role in the front station, but he behaved very well, he went into custody in a big way, and did not mention anything else, but said that he came to inquire about the good friend of the Jurchens, the news of Zhang Bangchang, the emperor of the Great Chu State, and wanted to visit him.

"Okay, since you want to know the news of Lu Dao Zhang Rebellion, then I'll send you to see him!" Hebei East Road appeasement made Zhang Suo angry when he heard it, Zhang Bangchang was killed for the crime of rebellion a few years ago, and the Jurchens should have known that they were deaf and should have known about it, this kid said this clearly to test the reality of the Great Song Dynasty, and made it clear that the Great Song Dynasty did not dare to touch him.

"What are you going to do? How can you treat the envoys of a country like this..."Seeing the two Song soldiers coming up to tie people up with ropes, the Jin envoy was shocked and struggled desperately.

"You're going to see Zhang Yi, I'm going to send you to see him!" Zhang Sogao sat in the hall, took a sip of tea, and said unhurriedly.

"Zhang Bangchang has long been dead, how can you let me go to see him!" The golden envoy was pressed to the ground, three times five divided by two was tied firmly, he squirmed, and desperately raised his head and shouted.

"Hmph, you know that Zhang Yi is dead but you are clamoring to visit your friends, I have to give you a knife and let you meet!" Zhang Suo slammed the teacup on the table, said coldly, and as soon as he waved his hand, the soldier dragged the golden envoy who kept shouting and walked out.

"Master Zhang, keep people under the knife!" Qin Hui saw that Zhang Suo was going to come to the real thing, and Ma Kuo, who was in his hands, seemed to have turned a blind eye and didn't hear it, just sat there and tasted tea, and seeing that the golden envoy was about to fall to the ground, he hurriedly got up and said.

"What advice does Lord Qin have?" Zhang Suo frowned and asked very 'puzzled'.

"Lord Zhang, there is a way that 'the two countries do not cut off the two countries', although this golden envoy has the intention of offending, but it must not break the rules, let people say that my Great Song Dynasty is not as good as barbarian and polite, Qin Hui replied.

"This person is really hateful, he dares to speak so loudly in the official office of the Great Song Dynasty, do you really think that this official will not dare to kill him?" Zhang Suo chuckled.

"Lord Zhang, I came to discuss with the Jin envoy on the order of the Holy Lord, although this is your jurisdiction, but it is probably inappropriate to meddle in the affairs of the meeting without authorization, and kill the Jin envoy, right?" Qin Hui blocked the door and said coldly.

"You..."Zhang Suo was angry for a while, looking at Ma Kuo, both of them saw doubts in each other's eyes, I don't know why Qin Hui defended the golden envoy so much, and disregarded the reputation of the country... (To be continued......)
