Qin Hui took a look at this pile of materials, but unfortunately, he couldn't use them. These "evidences" were not convincing. If he wanted to execute a first-class official of the empire, how could he convince the public with just these few flimsy reasons? He was very dissatisfied and ordered his followers to continue the search.
The next day, the cabinet ordered the transfer of several of Yue Pengju's staff, including Yu Peng, Sun Ge, etc. Unexpectedly, these two people refused to leave no matter what. Not only that, they also repeatedly wrote letters to defend Yue Pengju and complain about his grievances. It was hoped that Mingjun, who was deceived by the traitor, could open his eyes and see through Qin Hui's vicious plan. Although Qin Hui hated the two of them, he did not dare to do it openly, so he only arranged another sophisticated trap and waited for the two of them to invest.
A luxurious hotel in the north of the city.
This is the designated place to receive envoys from the Jin Dynasty. This envoy was headed by Zhang Tonggu, Li Qiong, etc., as well as several important Jin officials. This was the highest-level envoy in the more than ten years of war between Song and Jin Dynasties.
At night, a luxurious feast began. A group of female dancers played and danced, and Li Qiong and others watched happily. Qin Hui poured wine and said to Zhang Tonggu and others: "Everyone, please drink this cup to the full."
Li Qiong drank it all in one gulp and laughed loudly: "The fourth prince wanted to withdraw his troops, but fortunately my coolie persuaded him to stop it. I said, Song State has a cowardly king and treacherous ministers, how can Yue Pengju achieve great success on the front line alone?"
He was very frustrated in the Song Dynasty, but now he was reused by Jin Wushu. As one of the heroes who went to the Song Dynasty as an envoy to the Song Dynasty, he naturally had no scruples about Qin Hui, harboring contempt and bossing around.
Qin Hui felt very embarrassed at being ridiculed by such naming, but he did not dare to offend any of the Jin envoys. He could only smile bitterly and said: "If the two countries stop fighting, you can enjoy wealth and honor for the rest of your life."
Zhang Tonggu asked: "What will happen to Yue Pengju now?" He was most worried about Yue Pengju. If Yue Pengju was not imprisoned for a day, he was not sure what the outcome would be.
Qin Hui smiled slyly and said, "Please don't worry, sir. In the past two days since Zhang Xian was imprisoned, Yu Peng, Sun Ge and others came to die. When they learned that Yue Pengju had been recalled by the court, they were unwilling to leave and insisted on coming back to die. .In addition, his wife and children are still in Lin'an, how could he not come back? If I am not wrong, he will be in Lin'an soon."
Li Qiong laughed: "Yue Pengju still has Yu Peng, Sun Ge and other literati who will die for your loyalty. I wonder if the Prime Minister of Qin will be dismissed in the future, who will die for you?"
Qin Hui's expression changed. No matter how cunning he was, these words touched his heart. Naturally, he was afraid that Zhao Deji would turn his back on him afterwards and, after the peace talks, he would be dismissed. He and Wang Junhua joked that they would "for life" "Become Prime Minister", this greed took root, and he ignored the ridicule of Li Qiong and others, and said hurriedly: "I have worked hard to negotiate peace, but Dajin also needs to promise me something..."
"What's up?"
"It is specified in the peace agreement that I will be the prime minister for life. Otherwise, if another prime minister is replaced, after two or three years, who knows whether there will be another trouble and damage to Daikin's interests?"
Zhang Tonggu also considered this point. If Qin Hui were replaced by other prime ministers and assistants, it would indeed be detrimental to Dai Jin.
He only said: "This matter is important and only the fourth prince can make the decision."
Qin Hui didn't know that the fourth prince had arrived in Lin'an at this time. He was anxious and had no intention of dealing with the Jin envoy anymore, so he hurried home.
As soon as he entered the door, he was pulled by Wang Junhua, beaming with joy: "Old man, come and see who is coming..."
Qin Hui was dragged into the secret room by his wife. As soon as he entered, he knelt down overjoyed and said, "Qin Hui has met the fourth prince."
Fine wine and delicious food were arranged in the secret room. Jin Wushu sat at the top with a leisurely expression. He raised his hand and said, "Master Qin, there is no need to be polite."
Qin Hui stood up and sat with Wang Junhua. While pouring wine diligently, he asked: "When did the Fourth Prince arrive in Lin'an?"
"I admire the beautiful scenery of Suzhou and Hangzhou. But during the war in the past, I never had the opportunity or leisure to appreciate it. This time, I came to enjoy the mountains and rivers... "
Wang Junhua said happily: "The slave family can send someone to serve the fourth prince."
"You don't need to worry about it. The wind is tight now. You two just need to be careful." He turned to Qin Hui, "How are things going in the court now?"
Wang Junhua was the first to speak: "The slave family got some information. A few days ago, the Nine Kings secretly ordered Hua Rong, a bitch, to enter the palace. For some reason, she was rescued by Tianwei..." She knew only a little bit, and based on her speculation and understanding of Zhao Deji, she must have wanted to fight. Hua Rong’s idea.
Jin Wushu was stunned to see that such a thing had happened. Yue Pengju was still alive, yet Zhao Deji dared to be so bold. He thought to himself that his estimate of Zhao Deji's shamelessness was actually one level off.
Wang Junhua said bitterly: "That bitch Tianwei always gets in the way. Leaving her here will always be a disaster..."
Jin Wushu thought thoughtfully: "In this case, my prince's strategy can take effect."
Wang Junhua was waiting for his instructions and couldn't help but feel happy that his hated enemies were about to be eliminated one by one. Qin Hui, however, had no intention of entangled in his wife's jealousy and chose urgent matters: "It's just that Yue Pengju hasn't come back yet... "
Jin Wushu nodded and said with certainty: "He will definitely come back!"
When Qin Hui was perfunctory with Zhang Tonggu, he was full of words, but he did not dare to do so in front of the fourth prince, and asked in a low voice: "How can you see him?"
He knew the enemy better than he knew the loyal lackeys he raised. Jin Wushu suddenly felt a little sad: "It's because Zhang Xian is in jail!"
Qin Hui said happily: "Tomorrow, I will imprison Yu Peng and Sun Ge again. These two people asked them to go away, but they still haven't left."
Jin Wushu sighed: "It is rare that Yue Pengju still has such die-hard loyal people."
Qin Hui was inconvenient to speak, so he toasted him with another drink and winked at his wife. Wang Junhua was already prepared. He brought a glass of wine to Jin Wushu's mouth and said with a charming smile: "Fourth Prince, the slave couple has a request..."
"But it doesn't matter."
Wang Junhua then told Qin Hui that he wanted to keep the prime minister for life. After hearing this, Jin Wushu smiled and said: "I have promised you a long time ago, so what's the problem? Mr. Qin is loyal to me, and no one in Song Dynasty will be replaced." If you can't make me so happy, why won't I protect your prosperity?"
Seeing that Qin Hui's wish was fulfilled, as long as the agreement that he would be the prime minister for life was written into the contract, according to Zhao Deji's courage, as long as he did not die, he would be the prime minister. The couple immediately thanked Jin Wushu again.
Because Wang Junhua got permission to get rid of Tianwei and got her husband to marry her for life, Wang Junhua was in a very cheerful mood and flattered the fourth prince: "I have a plan to get rid of Yue Pengju's son first..."
… … …
She didn't talk about Hua Rong's son, but deliberately mentioned Yue Pengju's son, naturally to stimulate Jin Wushu's jealousy. Jin Wushu didn't change his color as she expected. Instead, he raised his glass and said lightly: "Just deal with Yue Pengju first." , As for Hua Rong, my prince's treatment of her will naturally satisfy you."
If Wang Junhua wanted to say anything else, Jin Wushu said calmly: "You'd better solve Tianwei's situation first. This is what Empress Dowager Wei meant. I have arranged everything at Wei's place, and the rest is up to you. .Hua Rong is already the turtle in the urn, so there is no rush. But if you want to completely eliminate future troubles, you should deal with Tianwei first... "
Queen Mother Wei is about to return, and Tian Wei is about to reach a dead end. Wang Junhua no longer bothers to ask Hua Rong, and immediately nods: "The Nu family will definitely live up to the expectations of the Fourth Prince."
"Okay. This prince is waiting for news from you two."
He stood up and left, and Qin Hui and his wife respectfully saw him off. Since the fourth prince did not want to live in the prime minister's residence, there was obviously a safer and more hidden place. His confidant Gao Yigong must have arranged everything.
Wang Junhua chased after him and said flatteringly: "Fourth Prince, I will give you a ride..."
"No, this is the Prime Minister's Palace!"
Wang Junhua suddenly remembered his status and did not dare to insist on it anymore. Secretly, he thought that as the "prime minister's wife", he was not as happy as when he was a concubine in the Fourth Prince's Mansion. As a concubine, he could still enjoy the happiness of a woman, but he himself I can only live as a widow with this good-for-nothing Qin Hui.
Jin Wushu didn't want to look at her "hungry" face for even a second. He didn't know why. The more he thought of Hua Rong's words, "I will be with my husband whether I live or die," the more he hated the woman in front of him. - As if his life force was coming and going, he was only worthy of such a woman. He felt angry and frustrated. When he went out, the cold wind blew. It was a little witch who saw a big witch. He didn't feel cold, but there was an inexplicable sadness in his heart, which was accompanied by a burst of joy.
Who says victory can only be seen on the battlefield? Invisible smoke can better show a man's scheming and wisdom.
This is the difference between heroes and politicians. Politicians can never become heroes; just as heroes can never become politicians.
As soon as Jin Wushu left, Wang Junhua was greatly disappointed. She was already in her forties, at the age when she was like a wolf and a tiger. Her "desire" for Jin Wushu became more and more intense than in previous years. However, no matter what, she could not Fortunately, the Prime Minister's Office openly had an affair with the fourth prince in front of Qin Hui. It was like a piece of fat that was about to fly away in vain. She was unwilling in every possible way, but had no choice but to vent her disappointment on Qin Hui. , pulled his beard hard: "Old man, when will Yue Pengju die?"
"The officials have given orders that Yue Pengju's death is a certainty, so we should deal with Tianwei first."
"That's right, Tianwei, a bitch, actually defended Hua Rong openly. If she dies, Hua Rong will die quickly..." Her hatred for Hua Rong was still greater than that of Tianwei. Subconsciously, she always felt that the Fourth Prince was against Hua Rong. Hua Rong still has a different kind of emotion. Every time she thinks about it, it drives her crazy. As for Zhao Deji, as soon as Tianwei dies, Hua Rong will completely lose all support, so Tianwei must die first.
Her hatred was still lingering: "Old man, why do I think the Fourth Prince doesn't want to kill Hua Rong at all?"
Qin Hui retained the throne of "lifelong prime minister" and could not restrain his inner joy: "As long as Yue Pengju dies, why does Hua Rong care? What does she mean as a female?"
"But what I want is that Hua Rong must die."
Qin Hui knew very well that his status as prime minister, whether he survived or failed, all depended on Jin Wushu. Naturally, he would not be entangled in trivial matters like Wang Junhua. However, he never dared to disobey the tigress and quickly comforted her: "Yue Pengju If Hua Rong dies, her house will be ransacked and she will be punished. Isn’t it just a word from me? I will find three or five people on the road and kill her without any effort... "
"Okay, old man, this is what you said. If Hua Rong doesn't die, I won't be done with you."
