Fu Tianpeng saw Wang Beixin sending killers to besiege Yang Yao, and he and Zhao Xueqing entered the scene to rescue him. After Wang Beixin saw Fu Tianpeng, his face immediately lost all color and turned as pale as a piece of paper. Fu Tianpeng pointed at Wang Beixin and scolded him for being a traitor and a traitor seeking glory.
Wang Beixin knew that if he wanted to escape this time, it would be difficult to reach the sky. So he drew his sword from his waist and fought with Fu Tianpeng for his life. At this time, Yang Yao and Zhao Xueqing were already fighting with other gangsters. The chairs in the study were overturned and the tables were overturned, and the situation was very chaotic.
After a while, all the gangsters were eliminated, leaving only Wang Beixin who was still fighting against the trapped beast. National hatred and personal hatred welled up in Fu Tianpeng's heart. He stepped down from the shooting star, fists filled with anger, and rushed in front of Wang Beixin with a "swish". Before Wang Beixin could react, Fu Tianpeng used a Taizu long fist to hit him hard. He hit Wang Beixin hard on the chest.
Wang Beixin received a heavy blow and flew out immediately. After his body hit the wall behind him, he fell to the ground motionless. After Fu Tianpeng got rid of Wang Beixin, he turned around and asked about the situation of Yang Yao and Zhao Xueqing.
Gang Leader Yang expressed his gratitude to Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing for their timely arrival, and Fu Tianpeng told Gang Leader Yang not to be polite. During the conversation, Fu Tianpeng told Yang Yao that Gang Leader Yang understood the righteousness and fought against the Jin Dynasty with Yue Shuai, which was a blessing to the country and a blessing to the people.
Yang Yao asked Fu Tianpeng to go back and inform Yue Fei to plan a specific meeting date so that cooperation could be better carried out. Fu Tianpeng nodded. Before leaving, he reminded Yang Yao that not only the Kingdom of Jin was eyeing the Tianwang Gang, but there were also people in the court who planned to use the Tianwang Gang to make a big fuss. Please be more careful in everything.
After Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing returned to Yue Fei's camp, they informed him of the Tianwang Gang's trip. Yue Fei looked solemn after hearing this. He knew that the Kingdom of Jin was doing everything possible to destroy the anti-Jin alliance. The best way at the moment was to incorporate Yang Yao's team into his own jurisdiction. This would not only protect Yang Yao, but also allow him to wash away the bandits. The stigma of being a grass bandit will be remembered in history after he contributes to the court in the future. However, there are two more problems facing us now. Yue Fei was afraid that this move would make Yang Yao paranoid, and he also needed Gaozong's support for his own ideas.
Zhao Xueqing told Yue Shuai that Gang Leader Yang could not consider it for the time being. Because if the court does not accept them, it will be in vain in the end. Therefore, let’s see what the Holy Will is first, and then we can make decisions later.
Yue Fei agreed very much with Zhao Xueqing's proposal. He immediately drafted a memorial and sent his flying cavalry to Lin'an.
After the letter arrived in Lin'an, the sender did not see Prime Minister Zhao Ding. What he saw was a fat official with a droopy face. It turns out that this person is none other than the censor Wang Cweng. Wang Ciweng asked if the letter was for Prime Minister Zhao, and the man nodded, indicating that he was asking Prime Minister Zhao to present it to Long Live.
After hearing what the person who sent the message said, Wang Ciweng used clever words to deceive the trust of the person who sent the message, and then got the memorial. After the messenger left, Wang Ciweng hid the memorial when he saw no one was around.
After he returned home, he immediately repaired the book for Qin Hui. At that time, Qin Hui was still working outside. He couldn't help being surprised when he saw Yue Fei's letter.
After Qin Hui thought carefully, he came up with what he thought was the best of both worlds. In the name of discussing important matters, he invited Yue Fei to a hill near the camp. After Yue Fei arrived, Qin Hui looked around furtively for a while and then said some encouraging words to him.
Qin Hui told Yue Fei that Han Shizhong was arrogant in taking credit, and his wife Liang Hongyu had dared to openly rebuke him, a marshal appointed by the imperial court to work hard. The Holy Father has long been dissatisfied with what their couple did. If Commander Yue can join me in impeaching Han Shizhong for his self-respect as a soldier, Qin will definitely guarantee to speak favorably for Commander Yue in court. Without Han Shizhong, Commander Yue's future will surely be smooth sailing.
After hearing what Qin Hui said, Yue Fei was immediately filled with righteous indignation. He blamed Qin Hui for not thinking about rescuing the country when the country was in crisis, but instead sowing discord and undermining unity. What is even more despicable is that in order to achieve the dirty purpose, he also uses lavish gifts to seduce others. This approach is truly disgusting.
Yue Fei scolded Qin Hui and walked away. Qin Hui's face turned red and white. He looked at Yue Fei's back and felt angry. Unknown to Qin Hui, Yue Fei attached the conversation between the two to the letter. When Han Shizhong received this letter, he was so angry that he broke into law.
Han Shizhong was so angry that he immediately wrote a book and scolded Qin Hui. When Qin Hui saw Yue Fei exposing his scandalous behavior, he began to hate Yue Fei. Qin Hui, the villain, will retaliate, and he began to think about how to deal with Yue Fei.
When his confidants delivered Wang Ciweng's letter, Qin Hui decided to adopt the strategy of driving away tigers and swallowing wolves. Since the strategy of using Fu Tianpeng to lose food and fodder to frame Zhao Ding failed, Qin Hui felt that there was no point in staying on the front line, so he hurried back to Lin'an to discuss with Wang Ciweng and others.
After Qin Hui drafted the memorial, he went to the palace to meet the saint. He first told Gaozong in front of Gaozong that Fu Tianpeng's escort of grain and fodder was transferred, and then added more details to accuse Han Shizhong of bending the law for personal gain. Finally, he said that Yue Fei and Han Shizhong had a close friendship, and he gave him good advice, but he was humiliation.
Qin Hui communicated with tears, and his words were very touching and sincere. After listening to his report, Emperor Gaozong couldn't help but feel furious. He immediately asked the deacon and eunuch Xuan Prime Minister Zhao Ding to enter the palace. Zhao Ding quickly came to the Imperial Study Room. When he saw Gaozong's face showing anger, he knew in his heart that he would definitely be scolded for entering the palace this time.
Gaozong threw Qin Hui's memorial to Zhao Ding and asked him to take a closer look at the contents. After Zhao Ding read the memorial, he said to Gaozong with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, this time we escorted the grain and fodder. Although Fu Xianfeng lost the grain and fodder, the responsibility does not lie with him."
After Zhao Ding finished speaking, Gaozong glanced at him sideways. He said to Zhao Ding: "The food and grass were lost in Fu Tianpeng's hands, but you said he was not responsible. I would like to hear your opinion."
Zhao Ding told Gaozong that before the food and grass were lost, Fu Xianfeng had already questioned Lord Qin's escort route. That route was densely forested and densely covered with grass, which was obviously a perfect location for an ambush by criminals. Moreover, Lord Qin not only did not allocate enough troops to Fu Xianfeng to protect such important supplies as grain and grass, but also went his own way and chose the waterway to enter Zhenjiang. This is absolutely ridiculous. "
After listening to Zhao Ding's words, Emperor Gaozong blamed him face to face for not being responsible for the use of others. He told Zhao Ding that he would no longer have to worry about military matters in the future, and Qin Hui, the counselor and political officer, would be directly responsible. Zhao Ding looked depressed and didn't say a word.
Then Gaozong handed the prepared imperial edict to the deacon and eunuch, who read the imperial edict on the spot. The intention was for Yue Fei and Fu Tianpeng to lead troops into Dongting Lake to destroy Yang Yao.
Seeing such a decree, Zhao Ding sighed. He said to Emperor Gaozong sincerely: "Your Majesty, although Yang Yao occupied the lake as a bandit, he was a loyal man. He attacked Jin ships on the lake many times, and this time he also helped Yue Fei cure Huyantong. The general’s injuries.”
Emperor Gaozong was very dissatisfied with Zhao Ding's excuse. He said to Zhao Ding: "Since Yang Yao is a loyal person, he will definitely not invade the state and plunder the government, nor will he rob the people's property. So where does his food and clothing come from? As for his treatment, Hu Yantong just wants to open up the joints so that he can continue to be his water bandit leader."
From Gaozong's words, Zhao Ding had already figured out the holy meaning. Gaozong's intention was not to truly annihilate Yang Yao, but to observe the attitude of the officials in the court. Zhao Ding used Yang Yao just now to explain to generals like Yue Fei and Han Shizhong who were loyal and pure. However, Zhao Ding's impassioned speech aroused Gaozong's displeasure and suspicion. This made Zhao Ding's heart immediately freeze. He did not comment on Gaozong's words at the moment, and privately reminded Fu Tianpeng, Han Shizhong and Yue Fei to handle the eradication of the lake bandits with caution.
Seeing that Zhao Ding no longer obstructed the plan to annihilate Yang Yao, the clouds on Gaozong's face immediately dissipated a lot. He passed down an oral order and asked Zhao Ding to leave the capital and go to Yue Fei's camp to supervise the specific conquest plan of the associate. After Zhao Ding thanked him, he went back to his hometown and picked up his belongings. He took a few soldiers to protect his house and left the capital in a hurry.
After Zhao Ding left, Qin Hui came out from behind the screen. He told Gaozong without a smile that these military generals were mingling together and had too close personal friendship, which was against the imperial court's taboo. Prime Minister Zhao turned a blind eye to the potential dangers of this kind of thing, which really disappointed the Holy Emperor.
After listening to Qin Hui's words of encouragement, Emperor Gaozong clapped his hands towards the desk. Then he said with an angry face: "This kind of expansion of personal power will definitely harm the security of the country. I will definitely allow it to develop.
Seeing that Gaozong was angry, Qin Hui began to make excuses. He is still talking about the same old saying, bringing out the national policy of emphasizing culture and restraining military force. Then Emperor Gaozong, if he wants to realize the peace of the country and the people, he must accept the suggestion of south from south and north from north.
Gaozong nodded and told Qin Hui that this suggestion would be seriously considered. Qin Hui has always been worried about this matter because Zhao Ding helped Fu Tianpeng win the championship in the martial arts field. He instigated Gaozong to open an encore on the pretext of selecting talents from the imperial court.
Qin Hui said: "Your Majesty, I have the right to say that literature can stabilize a country, and martial arts can rule a country. Now that the Jin people are eyeing Jiangnan, I suggest that the court open Enke so that wise men with both ability and political integrity can enter the temple and contribute to the court. .”
Faced with Qin Hui's suggestion, Gaozong was very happy. He said to Qin Hui: "Qin Aiqing, your idea is exactly what I want. From the time when Ni Ma crossed the river and established the capital in Jiankang, I saw the decline of the country and the dislocation of the people, so I wanted to one day attract more talents for the country. In order to revive the prestige of the Song Dynasty. But now the war is raging, and it is difficult for all parties in the DPRK and China to concentrate their efforts. I am in a lazy mood, and it is difficult for me to handle this matter well. Now that I have such an idea, I will do my best support."
Qin Hui secretly laughed in his heart. He knew that since Gaozong agreed to him, he would definitely let him take full responsibility for this matter. Qin Hui wanted to take advantage of Enke's opportunity to eliminate dissidents, expand his power, and severely attack those warring factions who opposed him, as well as the literati who wrote poems and poems to criticize current affairs.
