Qin Xi quietly handed him the history book. Originally, he was never allowed to take it out of the history book pavilion, but Qin Hui was used to it as the prime minister, covering the sky with one hand. Qin Hui opened it and saw that in the thick records, He boasts that he is loyal, literary and military, and he is a good general and prime minister. Especially his great affirmation of the peace talks between Song and Jin Dynasties, as if he is a famous official who revitalized the Song Dynasty. Let's look at Yue Pengju's biography , we only talked about a few paragraphs, and they were all about his sins, such as arrogance, self-respect for the army, contempt for the emperor, etc., but his outstanding battles, unparalleled achievements, and the life-saving grace he gave Zhao Deji several times, only Not mentioned.
Qin Hui looked at the history books, and the more he read, the more excited he became, as if he was really a great hero who had made great achievements. But Yue Pengju was just a clown.
"Hahaha, good, very good, son, you did a good job..."
"Daddy?"
"Hahaha, I have enjoyed all the glory and wealth in this life, even if I die, it is worth it, hahahaha..."
"Daddy, daddy..." Qin Xi panicked, and saw Qin Hui's eyes wide open, his hair standing on end, and his appearance was very ferocious. Then, Qin Hui suddenly turned over and got up, stretched out his hand, as if to twist his neck: " Kill you... I want to kill you... Kill this thief Zhao Deji... Kill the Fourth Prince... Kill Yue Pengju... Kill, kill, kill... "
Qin Xi couldn't dodge, so he grabbed his neck and resisted desperately. However, Qin Hui's squeeze was extremely tight. In panic, he pushed out an elbow and hit Qin Hui's chest.
Qin Hui's body softened and he fell to the ground.
"Abba, Abba..."
When Qin Xi came to his senses and rushed forward, Qin Hui was foaming at the mouth, closed his eyes, and died.
"Abba, Abba... come, come quickly..."
A group of concubines and servants caught up with him, but Qin Hui was already curled up and his body was cold.
"Dad..."
"Master..."
The Qin Mansion suddenly burst into tears, as if it had lost its towering tree. Some newly married concubines had already seen that the situation was not good, so they took advantage of the opportunity and simply ran away secretly. Qin Xi didn't have three heads and six arms, so he couldn't care about this and waited for the food. After Qin Hui's funeral, he discovered that his father's concubines had escaped completely.
Throughout Qin Hui's life, although he committed all kinds of evil, he was not punished by Zhao Deji in any way. Compared with Zongze, Li Gang, Yue Pengju and others who were exiled and died unjustly in this dynasty, he died at home and enjoyed everything he had. Prosperity and wealth can be regarded as a good death.
Qin Hui's funeral was not a deserted one. He had been the prime minister for many years and had deep roots. He had networked with many party members. Just when some ministers who had not seen the truth clearly expressed their condolences for his funeral, Zhao Deji issued an order to remove the Qin family. The family was confiscated and exiled. Unfortunately, a bolt from the blue was heard. Although the flatterer immediately retired, his adopted son Qin Xi was in panic all day long. Just when he wanted to write a glorious monument to his adoptive father, he was ordered to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan. News of the collective being exiled to Lingnan.
It turns out that this is what it means to be with a king like a tiger.
Now that Qin Hui is dead, what worries does Zhao Deji have? In addition, the major censors at that time took the opportunity to write letters to expose various illegal activities, abuse of power, corruption and perversion of the law during Qin Hui's tenure as prime minister. Zhao Deji found an excuse and immediately ordered the investigation. Sure enough, the first inspection was from Qin Hui's family and manor. He obtained millions of silver coins, tens of thousands of hectares of land, and hundreds of thousands of stones of grain. He could be said to be as rich as the enemy.
Naturally, Zhao Deji unceremoniously took these things back to the treasury—that is, he owned them all. When counting the finances, the old eunuch presented a set of jewelry. Empress Dowager Wei identified it and confirmed that it was the extremely expensive set of jadeite that belonged to Concubine Qiao. Jewelry. Concubine Qiao was the most favored concubine in the world at that time. This set of jadeite as a gift from Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty was considered to be the best among her jewelry and rare in the world.
This set of jewelry belonged to Wang Junhua. Only then did Zhao Deji know that Wang Junhua must have really received the reward from Jin Wushu. From the documents that Qin Hui confiscated from his home, it was completely proven that he was Jin Wushu's spy, even though he had been smeared for him. The scholar-bureaucrats no longer dared to complain against them.
On this day, Zhao Deji was admiring the newly arrived treasures in the palace - all collected by Qin Hui's mansion, and they were all precious epigraphy, calligraphy and paintings. Most of these things were obtained by Wang Jixian from Li Yian and exchanged with each other, or other officials flattered him What particularly satisfied him was that there were a large number of authentic works by Wu Daozi and Yan Liben, and even authentic works by Li Yu, the Empress of the Tang Dynasty.
He was so delighted that he watched it for days. He spent three days in the morning before going to see the memorial.
There is a thick pile of memorials, many of which were brought from eight hundred miles away from the Lianghe area. It is said that the King of Qin and others were distributing silver coins in the Lianghe area to win people's hearts. However, after months of investigation, it is not that there is no trace of the King of Qin. Instead, two or three of them have been captured - King Qin. Because there are too many, it is impossible to verify his true identity, because King Qin rarely moved on land in the past, and few people knew his true face. These kings of Qin are all in stature. Gao Daodao'er, the urgent report also said that these imperial prisoners are already on their way to Beijing.
He was extremely angry. How could there be two or three Qin kings in the world? It was obvious that the local officials did not try their best and just found a few knockoffs to make up the money. Zhao Deji did some inventory and found some naval reports. It said that King Qin's cruisers had not been dispatched for a long time.
… …
As soon as Qin Hui died, all his heart ailments were gone, and he was no longer afraid of the intimidation of the Jin army. When fighting against the outside world, one must first calm down the inside. It was not as harmful as the harm that Qin Hui did to his elbows and armpits every day.
Zhao Deji immediately summoned the head of the Ministry of War, Wan Qiqi, to question him about the situation of King Qin.
Wan Qiqi relied on Qin Hui, and when Qin Hui died, he naturally trembled and made excuses again and again when faced with Zhao Deji's questioning.
Zhao Deji was furious: "I promised you a salary to suppress bandits, but you can't even take down the King of Qin?"
"King Qin is active in Lianghe, and several Qin kings have been captured so far."
"How many Qin kings? Those are all copycat versions."
Wan Qi was speechless. Isn't the King of Qin better than Zhong Xiangyang of Dongting? He was openly active. The sea is vast, how can he be driven away
"I will give you time. Before the spring begins, you must capture the King of Qin."
He did not dare to ask why Your Majesty suddenly became so interested in capturing King Qin. However, it was difficult to disobey the king's order, so he had no choice but to kneel down and accept it.
Zhao Deji looked at other memorials. Fortunately, other memorials said that the Jiangnan area was stable and taxes would increase in the spring. Moreover, what made him relax the most was that there was no reaction at all from the Jin Kingdom to Qin Hui's death. Moreover, no one It was a very offensive move. According to secret reports, the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom was also bedridden at home for a long time.
He was overjoyed by the news. The fourth prince had chased him up the mountains and into the sea, but he had no way out. He hated Jin Wushu even more than he hated Qin Hui. Now that Qin Hui is dead, will the fourth prince die too
Yue Pengju died, Qin Hui died, the fourth prince died... Oh my God, how could such a perfect thing happen? Is God really so blessed? The Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven, stood up on the dragon throne, sat down again, stood up again after sitting down, and laughed heartily.
The old slave who served him, Feng Yi, also rolled up his sleeves: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for hearing about your Majesty's news."
"Hahaha, Feng Yi, they are all dead, all of them are dead, I can really sit back and relax from now on."
"Your Majesty's empire can last for eternity."
"Haha, I have to think about how to enjoy it."
"Yes, yes, yes, Jie, Zhou, and Shang Tang are all just a handful of loess in the end. Being able to be happy in life is the best and happiest thing. Your Majesty has confiscated so much of Qin Hui's family property, and the palace has a surplus. These Your Majesty has been busy with state affairs, worked hard, and with his talents and strategies, he has finally eliminated internal and external troubles. Why not take advantage of the beginning of spring to select some beautiful women to enrich the harem? "
This statement was exactly what Zhao Deji wanted: "Haha, I have never officially ordered the selection of a show girl."
"Your Majesty's thrift and benevolence are rare in ancient and modern times. Now, it's time to enjoy yourself."
"Okay, Feng Yi, you go and plan it carefully. Alas, my hair is half gray, and it's really time to enjoy it..."
Although Zhao Deji already had a harem full of wives and concubines who were enjoying themselves every day, when he heard Feng Yi's words, his face turned red and his heart skipped a beat.
At that time, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty adopted Taoist health care and used the secret techniques of the house to maintain his youth. He had to marry three to five virgins every seven days. Therefore, before he was captured and sent to the Kingdom of Jin, he had always maintained strong energy and looked as if he were looking forward to it. Young man. Even after arriving in the Kingdom of Jin, he spread seeds widely, and the concubines who followed him gave birth to more than a dozen children for him.
Zhao Deji naturally knew his father's demeanor back then, and he couldn't help but be fascinated: "Okay, okay, tomorrow I will issue an order to recruit girls all over the country. I will also follow my father's example..."
"Old slave, I must go and prepare quickly."
Outside the door, Wu Jinnu's voice came: "I am sending ginseng soup to your majesty..."
"Come in."
The person holding the ginseng soup was the adopted prince. He was already 12 years old and could see the expressions of adults. Under the upbringing of Wu Jinnu, he was cautious and cautious. He knelt on the ground and said, "My son, I would like to pay my respects to my father."
Zhao Deji looked at this fairly handsome child and saw him holding the ginseng soup above his head. For some reason, he was particularly disgusted, especially the "Father"! Is this his own son? Not at all.
Now that Qin Hui has been eliminated, the country is stable, but if it will be passed down through the ages, who will it pass on to? Is this the adopted son in front of him who has nothing to do with him
He had no feelings for his adopted son, and he himself was in his forties, always dreaming of having an heir.
When the child saw that he didn't answer, he became even more flustered and his hands trembled slightly: "Father..."
Wu Jinnu was also very frightened. There had been so many beauties in the harem that Zhao Deji no longer had sex with these old and lustful women. Her only hope was that her adopted son would win the throne and she could be a good person in the future. The Queen Mother.
Wu Jinnu also whispered: "Your Majesty, this is the child's wish..."
Zhao Deji didn't go to pick up the ginseng soup. He almost wanted to kick the child on the head and kill him immediately, causing his head to explode. Son! I have a strong desire for a son! Instead of asking other people's sons to show their courtesy! Even if there are more women, even if all the women in the world are piled in his lap, what will happen if he can't give birth to a son
He was upset, but he reluctantly took the ginseng soup, but put it aside heavily and waved his hand: "You guys go down, I have something to do."
