Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 324: Recruiting Qin Hui and Zhao Ding

Qin Hui and Zhao Ding have been in the Funing Hall for many days, and they have been detained here and are not allowed to go out.

But their living conditions are much better than half a month ago.

When they were detained by soldiers from the Jiangnan imperial camp, they ate cold rice leftovers from the soldiers from the imperial Jiangnan camp every day, and they were often not full. Now they have fish and meat in every meal, so they can be full.

In addition to fish, they can also ask for some pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and they can read and write in Funing Hall.

The morning sun was very bright, and Zhao Ding was standing at the door of Funing Hall, watching the scene outside.

"I don't know how our family is now?" Only Zhao Ding said leisurely.

"I don't know, I hope they are safe and sound." Qin Hui said.

At this moment Qin Hui was sitting at a table, writing.

His handwriting is very good.

In his early years, when the Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty was in power, Qin Hui was the Zuo Sijian of Yushitai. He found that the public fonts in different parts of the country were different, so he used his official leisure to study various fonts, and later imitated Zhao Ji's thin gold body of Song Huizong. A unique font was created based on it. This font is neat and tidy, easy to learn. He used this font to write memorials to Song Huizong. After Song Huizong saw it, he was greatly admired, so he ordered Qin Hui to send his writing templates to all parts of the country, asking officials from all over the country to write official documents and memorials in accordance with the template fonts. The font is the famous "Song Ti" of later generations, which was invented by Qin Hui.

At this moment, Qin Hui was writing in Song Ti, and after a while, he stopped.

Zhao Ding came to Qin Hui's side and looked at the words on the table with a sneer on his face.

"I am born to be useful, and I will come back after all my money is gone! Master Qin, you are really ambitious! We are imprisoned here, you have such aspirations! Admire! Admire!" Zhao Ding said.

"When Emperor Jianyan was alive, the world was divided, and I did not do many major things. Now that Emperor Jianyan is dead, Emperor Xuanwu has ruled the world. From now on, my strength in Song Dynasty has greatly increased, and I can also display my ambitions. It's not bad to think about it." Qin Hui smiled.

"Loyal ministers are not two masters! Both of us are courtiers of Emperor Jianyan. Now that Emperor Jianyan is dead, even if we don't die and die for the festival, we must never do anything for Emperor Xuanwu." Zhao Dingdao.

"Master Zhao, I can't agree with you! Emperor Xuanwu was originally the crown prince of the Supreme Emperor's emperor, and he also has the jade seal in his hand. It is natural for him to ascend the throne and claim the emperor! On the contrary, it is Emperor Jianyan, he is usurping the throne! I had escaped from the Kingdom of Jin and fled to the south of the Yangtze River. I had no choice but to do something for Emperor Jianyan. In fact, I always wanted to go to Guanshan and take refuge in Emperor Xuanwu.” Qin Hui said.

"You, shameless!" Zhao Ding said angrily.

Qin Hui smiled. He was about to argue, when his face suddenly changed.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Ding said in surprise.

"Listen!" Qin Hui said, pointing outside.

Zhao Ding listened, and after a while, his face changed slightly.

Outside was the sound of countless bowstrings pulling, which kept swishing. In the end, the Funing Hall was filled with such noises, and other sounds were hardly heard.

"What happened?" After a while, the sound of the bowstring vibration stopped, and Qin Hui said pale.

"I don't know." Zhao Ding's face was also pale, and he shook his head.

After another while, bursts of blood puffed from the outside.

"It's so bloody, how many people are going to die?" Qin Hui said.

"Why does Emperor Xuanwu want to kill?" Zhao Ding murmured.

Both of them were fidgeting at the moment, and Qin Hui strode to the gate of the palace and was immediately stopped by two soldiers.

Qin Hui took out a piece of silver from his arms, handed it to the soldier, and said with a smile: "This strong man, do you have anything to ask next?"

However, before he finished speaking, the soldier had already stuffed the silver into his hand again, and the soldier's face became cold.

"This..." Qin Hui was stunned.

"I am waiting for the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, and will never accept bribes from others! If you dare to do this again, you and I will be polite!" The soldier said coldly.

"Ah! It turned out to be like this! Warrior, I just tried you just now to see how the emperor Xuanwu's soldiers are! Now it seems that they are like a mountain! Qin admires and admires it! The rebel of King Kang, he has soldiers and horses. The military discipline is chaotic, far inferior to you." Qin Hui smiled.

"This is natural, how can King Kang's subordinates be comparable to us?" The soldier's face changed and he smiled.

"I don't know what happened outside?" Qin Hui said again.

"General Wu has an order, I can't tell you anything outside." The soldier shook his head.

Qin Hui asked two more questions. The soldier closed his mouth and said nothing. Qin Hui had no choice but to return.

After returning, Qin Hui praised: "Emperor Xuanwu's soldiers and horses are really extraordinary. Look at them standing there, motionless. It has been almost two hours since the morning. No one under King Kang's rebels can do it. such!"

Zhao Ding said coldly: "Master Qin, Emperor Jianyan used to be our lord, don't say that to him!"

Qin Hui smiled and said no more.

Throughout the morning, the blood became stronger and stronger.

In the afternoon, the blood became stronger, and the faces of both of them became more and more unsightly.

The sky had gradually dimmed, and the lamps had been lit in Funing Hall.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside.

"See your majesty!" The soldiers at the door had already knelt down at this moment. Qin Hui and Zhao Ding hurriedly looked outside, only to see that Zhao Chen came here surrounded by a group of generals and soldiers.

After many days of absence, Zhao Chen has not changed much. He still looks like a hero, as if he is always alive and full of energy.

"All right!" Zhao Chen said casually.

Now the soldiers at the door stood up, and Zhao Chen had already entered the Funing Hall.

"Weichen Qin Hui, see your majesty!" Qin Hui had already knelt down and said.

Zhao Ding just stunned, did not kneel, and stood there all the time.

"Qin Aiqing, let's be flat! Zhao Ding, why didn't you kneel when you saw me come in?" Zhao Chen looked at Zhao Ding and said.

Qin Hui was overjoyed when he heard the three words "Qin Aiqing", and immediately stood up with a respectful expression on his face. As for Zhao Ding, he looked at Zhao Chen with a complicated expression.

"I, Zhao Ding, are Emperor Jianyan's courtiers, not your Majesty's courtiers, so I won't kneel down!" Zhao Ding said after a while.

Zhao Chen smiled. He didn't care about Zhao Ding's not kneeling down. He found a chair and sat down by himself, pointed at the rest of the chairs in Funing Hall, and said, "Find a chair and sit down by yourself!"

"Where is the seat of the minister in front of your majesty?" Qin Hui hurriedly said.

"I'll let you sit down, you just sit down!" Zhao Chen said softly.

"Your Majesty is generous, you are truly a benevolent emperor!" Qin Hui just sat down.

"Emperor Xuanwu, I want to know what happened today?" Zhao Ding was still standing there, thinking of the **** smell that day, he couldn't help but said.

"It's not a big event. In Lin'an city, someone tried to register a new emperor, usurped the throne and rebelled, and was killed by me!" Zhao Chen said.

"What?" Qin Hui and Zhao Ding stayed there.

"How is it possible? Your Majesty, your one hundred thousand army is in Lin'an City, and there are still people who dare to establish a new emperor? How could there be such a confused person?" Zhao Ding said in disbelief.

"There is such a confused person in this world! On that day, when I was assassinated in West Lake, Yang Shi, Li Tong and others thought that I was dead, and they even found a person among the descendants of the great ancestor and named that person as the new monarch! Today! In the morning, they took that person to the Taimiao Temple, and then they actually took that person to the palace! Among the six ministers of the Jiangnan court, many people followed the group of clowns to fool around and set up a new ruler." Chen sneered.

"There is such a thing? I see, your majesty, you deliberately pretended to be assassinated, didn't you? You are so mean!" Zhao Ding said.

"I didn't pretend that I was assassinated and died! I was assassinated, and I didn't let people say that I was dead, but they thought I was dead, so I have to establish a new king!" Zhao Chen said coldly.

"Your Majesty, how are you going to deal with these people who register new monarchs?" Zhao Dingdao.

"Qin Hui, how do you deal with them?" Zhao Chen said.

"They are rebellious, so naturally they should kill the Nine Races!" Qin Hui said.

"Yes! That's how I did it! Yang Shi, Li Tong, Luo Congyan and others all killed the Nine Clan! Six people who obeyed and rebelled, all killed the Nine Clan!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, how can you... do such a thing? Mr. Yang, they are all well-known great scholars in the world, shouldn't you do this?" Zhao Ding said.

"Students pay attention to loyalty. They are rebelling to usurp the throne and are unfaithful. Shouldn't they be killed?" Zhao Chen said.

"They were just confused for a while! They just thought that your majesty died, and the country could not have a king for a day, so they wanted to be emperor! Your majesty should spare them! They are all great scholars, your majesty, if you kill them, don't you be afraid that all scholars will rise Are you against you? Are you not afraid of studying and rebelling?" Zhao Ding said.

"Reading to rebel?" Zhao Chen was taken aback for a moment, and then he laughed.

"What is your majesty laughing?" Zhao Ding said.

"I once heard a poem that said,'The dust is not cold and Shandong is in chaos, and Liu Xiang didn't read books.' Qin Shihuang ruled the world and was most wary of scholars. He thought that scholars could cholera in the world, so he burned books to confuse scholars. Who is it? The ashes of Zhikengru have not cooled down, and the world has begun to chaos. Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, who led the rebellion, are not scholars. Since ancient times, there has been no reason for reading to rebel." Zhao Chen laughed.

"Since ancient times, there has been no reason for reading to rebel? Your Majesty is too despising of scholars in the world, right?" Zhao Ding said coldly.

"I didn't look down on scholars, I just told one fact! Since ancient times, there have always been only two kinds of people who rebel, one is the poor people who can't survive, such as Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Liu Bang and others, and the other is aristocratic officials, such as Xiang Yu. , Cao Cao, Li Yuan, Li Shimin and others. Zhao Ding, you have a broad range of knowledge, you can find me an example of reading and rebellion, and let me listen to it." Zhao Chen said.

After Zhao Chen finished speaking, Zhao Ding was stunned, unable to speak.

"Listening to your Majesty's words today is really better than reading a book for ten years!" Qin Hui has already praised him greatly at the moment.

"I came here today to ask, you are all important ministers in the south of the Yangtze River. Now that Emperor Jianyan is dead, and I dominate the Song Dynasty, are you willing to work for me?" Zhao Chen stopped talking about this topic and said now.

"Weichen Qin Hui is naturally willing to be loyal to Your Majesty! Your Majesty is my Da Song Zhengtong. King Kang was usurpering the throne in the past. We were forced to do things for King Kang. In fact, we were always in the heart of Cao Ying. Want to take refuge in your Majesty!" Qin Hui said immediately.

"Good!" Zhao Chen nodded.

Although this Qin Hui is the first treacherous minister in history, he is outstanding. He was admitted to the Jinshi in his early twenties, and was favored by the then prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Gui, and betrothed his granddaughter to Qin Hui. After that, Qin Hui became Taixue Xuezheng when he was less than twenty-five years old, and became Zhongcheng of the Imperial History of Song Dynasty when he was less than thirty years old. Before the invasion of Jurchen, he did remarkable things and achieved political achievements. Only after returning from Jurchen did he change dramatically. Zhao Chen now comes to Jiangnan, and his talent is based on merit. Whether it is a traitor or a loyal minister, the first thing he values ​​is talent. As long as he is talented, as long as he is willing to take refuge in Zhao Chen, Zhao Chen can use it. Zhao Chen has generals and soldiers in his hands. Since ancient times, power has emerged from the barrel of his gun. He is not afraid that these people have other thoughts. In the future, systems will naturally be used to bring the talents of these people into the right track.

Moreover, in this era, Qin Hui did not kill Yue Fei. It was the decision of the entire Jiangnan court to make peace with Jurchen, especially the will of the emperor Zhao Gou. It was not something that Qin Hui could decide alone, so Qin Hui did not. Reason to kill.

Qin Hui was overjoyed when he heard that Zhao Chen was willing to use himself.

Zhao Ding was standing there at the moment, looking to the side, without saying a word.

"Zhao Ding, are you unwilling to do things for me?" Zhao Chen smiled and said.

"The loyal minister is not the second master!" Zhao Ding said coldly.

"Loyal minister? Loyalty has great loyalty and small loyalty. I don't know if you Zhao Ding is great loyal or small loyal?" Zhao Chen thought for a while and said.

"Oh? What is Dazhong? What is Xiaozhong?" Zhao Ding said curiously.

"When the country is in distress, step forward, shed blood, sweat, and even sacrifice for the country. This is called great loyalty! The saint once said that the people are the most important, the king is the light, and the society is second. For the country and the people, this is great loyalty! The so-called loyalty is also called foolish loyalty. Regardless of whether an emperor is right or wrong, he is loyal to the emperor. This is loyalty! Even if the emperor harms the people and colludes with foreigners, he must be loyal to the emperor. After the emperor died, the people clapped and praised. He wanted to keep a festival for the emperor. Like the original King Shang Zhou, he was tyrannical and harmed the people. King Zhou Wu slammed the people and attacked the people. Boyi and Shuqi even tried to persuade King Wu Zhou with the words of the monarch, regardless of the safety of the world. This is small Loyal." Zhao Chen said.

After Zhao Chen finished speaking, Zhao Ding was stunned.

"Since the invasion of Jurchen, the people of the world have been poisoned! Now that I have come to the south of the Yangtze River to unify the Song Dynasty, it is the time when talent is needed! You seem to be doing things for me, but in fact you are doing things for the people of the world! Zhao Ding, the Song Dynasty is born to you The people use their harvests as taxes. These taxes support you and become your salaries! Da Song and the people are kind to you. You are a talent. Now Da Song and the people need you, but you are unwilling to come out and do things. This is called ungratefulness." Zhao Chen said again.

After Zhao Chen finished speaking, Zhao Ding's expression became more complicated.

"Zhao Ding, I have one more sentence to tell you,'Everybody is responsible for the rise and fall of the country.' I think you are not as good as a husband." Zhao Chen said coldly.

"I..." Zhao Ding opened his mouth, trying to defend himself, but he couldn't speak.

"Think about it! When I came here today, I still have to discuss with you the strategy of stabilizing Jiangnan! Qin Aiqing, what good ideas do you have?" Zhao Chen looked at Qin Hui and said.
