The first thing Chu Ge thought of was naturally the possibility of killing the emperor.
After all, he had successfully planned to assassinate Qi Yingzong in the first stage, and he passed the level directly by lifting the table with one hand.
In any case, Emperor Gaozong was definitely no less killable than his brother.
If Qi Gaozong can be killed, even if the copy fails, Chu Ge will admit it.
At least it was for General Han Fuyue that he let out a bad breath.
After careful consideration, Chu Ge discovered that the success rate of this matter was too low.
This matter has two aspects: Li Hao and Qi Gaozong.
From Li Hao's point of view, he has not yet reached the point where he has all the power.
Although from the perspective of later generations, Qin Hui's power was overwhelming. If he wanted to kill Han Fuyue unjustly, he would kill Han Fuyue unjustly. He even asked Qi Gaozong to always have daggers in the palace to guard against him, completely destroying the entire political system of Qi Dynasty... …
But at this time, Chu Ge didn't have that kind of energy.
In real history, Qin Huizhi's rise to power did not happen overnight, but went through several stages.
He came back because he was able to get in touch with Wan Yanchang and establish a peace agreement.
As for the killing of General Han Fuyue, although some people think that he conspired to kill him first and then report it, in the final analysis, Gaozong had already had the idea of killing Han Fuyue, so Qin Huizhi did this for his own selfish interests, and it was also considered as pandering. Qi Gaozong's thoughts, so under Qi Gaozong's protection, he was safe and sound.
Then it was time to negotiate a peace with the Jin people. There was a sentence in the contract, "You are not allowed to go to the prime minister for being innocent."
The actual effect of this sentence was that Qi Gaozong almost did not dare to deprive Qin Huizhi of his position for any reason, whether guilty or innocent. Even if Qin Huizhi was really guilty, Qi Gaozong would not dare to criticize him.
Therefore, Qin Huizhi was able to be the prime minister for more than ten years and had power over the government and the public. In the final analysis, it was because he had the support of the Jin people and relied on him to bring trouble to the Qi Dynasty's government.
But at this time, Li Hao, played by Chu Ge, had just risen to become the Prime Minister.
First, he did not intend to kill General Han Fuyue, so what he did was actually not in line with the emperor.
Second, he has not yet received the clause from the Jin people in the peace negotiation that "he is not allowed to go to the prime minister for being innocent", which means that the Jin people will not support him at this time.
At this time, the emperor had made up his mind to kill General Han Fuyue and negotiate peace with the Jin people.
As for Li Hao, played by Chu Ge, as a prime minister, he may be able to obey the emperor's orders and find ways to keep the emperor's decrees from leaving the palace. But the final result must be won by the emperor.
Because at this time, as a prime minister, his foundation is not deep enough. Qi Gaozong was the undisputed most orthodox successor to the throne at this time.
The political strength of the two is not at the same level at all.
So, what about the assassination?
The probability of success is also extremely low.
Before, Chu Ge and Li Hongyun were able to successfully assassinate Qi Yingzong because Qi Yingzong lost his mind and wanted to escape from the palace. The protective force was slack on the way, so that Li Hong took advantage of it with a sudden fire gun.
But at this time, Qi Gaozong had already experienced a mutiny and took his own safety very seriously. He has been hiding in the deep palace and is heavily guarded.
Although Li Hao, played by Chu Ge, is the Prime Minister, he has to be searched repeatedly before entering the palace. Coupled with the lack of cooperation from other players, he could hardly imagine any possibility of a successful assassination.
Therefore, this matter has fallen into an endless loop.
Assassination is not an option, and we can only engage in political struggle.
But to engage in political struggle, the strength is not enough.
If you want to have enough strength, you must first get the support of the Jin people who "are not allowed to be prime ministers for being innocent." And if you want to get this support, you must first betray the country and kill General Han Fuyue.
Isn't this a big circle, and then it goes back again?
If Chu Ge really unjustly killed General Han Fuyue, no matter what he did after that, he would never be able to clear his name.
Because General Han Fuyue of this era is the only divine general who can bring peace to the world and is irreplaceable.
Seeing that the current situation was almost falling into an endless loop, Chu Ge did not give up because of this.
He didn't even think about using the function of the heroic spirit to ask for help.
Because he knows that asking this question to those heroic spirits in history may not be easy. For many things, it is better to use your own brain to solve them.
After some thinking, Chu Ge finally made up his mind.
An edict was drawn up to recall General Han Fuyue with twelve gold medals.
…
In April, General Han Fuyue and other generals were transferred from the army and returned to serve in the Privy Council of the capital.
In May, the peace faction in the DPRK accused General Han Fuyue of "staying and refusing to enter" and demanded that Han Fuyue be removed from the post of deputy privy envoy.
In August, Han Fuyue was dismissed from his post and returned to his old residence to find work.
In October, the Zhuhe faction framed General Han Fuyue for treason and threw him into Fengbo Pavilion in Dali Temple Prison.
In November, Qi and Jin reached a peace agreement: Qi declared vassalage to Jin, assigned all north of the Huaihe River to the Jin Kingdom, and paid an annual tribute of 250,000 taels of silver and 250,000 pieces of silk.
In December, Li Haojiao ordered to kill General Han Fuyue, and Gaozong later issued an order to ratify it.
It is difficult to verify whether Qin Huizhi killed General Han Fuyue by false edict, or whether Qin Huizhi really got Gaozong's secret order to kill General Han Fuyue. But no matter what the situation is, it does not change the nature of the matter.
Qi Gaozong and Qin Hui hit it off instantly. No matter who came first or who came last, whether it was Qin Huizhi who blamed the emperor's decree, or Qi Gaozong who blamed Qin Hui's edict, they were all trying their best to put the shit basin on the opponent's head. It's just that I take less of the blame.
After all, both of them knew that if they did such a bad thing, they would be infamy for eternity.
Just like that, everything seemed to be going according to the original route.
…
December 29th.
Dali Temple Fengbo Pavilion, in prison.
Wei Shun's life has changed a lot in recent days.
He was originally a jailer here. He worked diligently and was loyal on weekdays.
Hearing that General Han Fuyue had made great achievements in the Northern Expedition and continued to regain lost territory, Wei Shun was also excited about it. Even when I return home every day, I happily have a drink with a few friends.
But then, what happened in the court made his mood take a turn for the worse, and he became increasingly confused.
General Han Fuyue, who continued to score great victories on the front, was recalled to the Central Government and was imprisoned within a few months.
According to the news from prison, General Han Fuyue has been accused of crimes. Although he has not been tortured, the traitor party headed by Li Hao in the DPRK wants to put General Han Fuyue to death. It's obvious.
Wei Shun felt a suffocation in his chest and had nowhere to vent.
Why?
Why does Your Majesty turn a blind eye to these traitors and traitors? Why is General Han Fuyue the pillar of the country, but His Majesty has no reason to doubt him? Is it possible that in the face of the hatred between the country and the family of the Jin people, the slightest personal interests of the princes in the DPRK are so important?
However, he is just a pawn after all.
Even if he had already scolded the traitors led by Li Hao ten thousand times in his heart, even if he knew that General Han Fuyue was imprisoned in Fengbo Pavilion, what could he, a little jailer, do?
If it develops according to real history.
After General Han Fuyue was killed, the jailer Wei Shun secretly dug up General Han Fuyue's body at the risk of being killed, and carried it out of the city for a safe burial.
On the day when General Han Fuyue was rehabilitated and Zhaoxue was later rehabilitated, Wei Shun had already passed away, but he still told his son about it before he died, so the remains of General Han Fuyue were actually moved to the West Lake for burial.
If it were not for Wei Shun, perhaps General Han Fuyue's body would really be gone and he would not be able to be buried in the tomb for future generations to worship.
As a pawn, Wei Shun risked his life to do such a thing, which can be said to be unparalleled loyalty.
But what Wei Shun didn't expect was that this didn't happen.
Because a few days ago, he was inexplicably promoted to prison officer.
This appointment was said to have been personally ordered by the then Prime Minister Li Hao, whom he had scolded countless times.
This move caused some changes in the way his colleagues looked at him.
There is flattery, there is disdain.
Almost all his colleagues in prison thought that he had colluded with Li Hao and was going to be an accomplice in the death of General Han Fuyue.
Wei Shun was puzzled by this, because he and Li Hao, the prime minister of the dynasty, were strangers to each other at all, and even privately scolded Li Hao for being a traitor to the country.
Today, as a prison officer, Kai Shun received an order to kill General Han Fuyue.
The current prime minister, Li Hao, was a complete conspirator. He dismissed everyone and waited outside the prison in person to confirm that General Han Fuyue was dead before leaving.
No third person knew about what happened that day.
It was only later heard that there was still a blood letter written by General Han Fuyue in the prison, "The sky will be clear, the day will be clear!" Li Hao left proudly after confirming that General Han Fuyue was dead.
In this regard, the real person who experienced it, Wei Shun, kept it secret, and soon resigned and left to live in seclusion in the countryside.
Li Hao reported the matter to Qi Gaozong, who breathed a sigh of relief.
When the news of General Han Fuyue's death came out, the people all cried; as for the Jin Kingdom, the ministers drank wine to congratulate and played their hats to celebrate.
Everything seems to be following the original historical line.
It's just that no one noticed that some small details were gone.
…
An inconspicuous manor on the outskirts of the capital.
Li Hao, played by Chu Ge, came to the door of the manor with only one most trustworthy and never-meddlesome servant. He gently clicked the door knocker three times with a certain frequency.
After a moment, the door opened a crack.
Wei Shun looked around to make sure there was no one else before welcoming Li Hao, played by Chu Ge, in.
"Mr. Li, please come in."
The servant Li Hao brought with him was waiting loyally outside the manor.
Arriving at the manor, Chu Ge finally met again the greatest historical figure in this historical slice, General Han Fuyue.
Players have already noticed it when they watched the cutscenes in the game before.
Unlike the largest historical slice of the Dasheng Dynasty, which belonged to Sheng Taizu, the largest historical slice of the Qi Dynasty belonged to General Han Fuyue.
Born in a peasant family, he was able to lead the repeatedly defeated Qi army to regain the Central Plains in just twenty years. He gained a great reputation and transformed an army that was originally on the verge of collapse into one that "frozen to death without tearing down houses and starved to death without looting." There is no need to elaborate on the greatness of General Han Fuyue, the pinnacle cold weapon army.
At this time, General Han Fuyue was sitting in the courtyard, reading the books in his hands.
This situation made Chu Ge couldn't help but think of the great general from many years ago, General Qin Kaiyun.
Perhaps, there are many similarities between the two at this time?
Seeing Li Hao played by Chu Ge, General Han Fuyue stood up and said: "Li Xiang."
If it were before, General Han Fuyue might have only two attitudes when he met Li Hao, played by Chu Ge.
The first is to follow the etiquette between courtiers and barely maintain the most basic politeness and politeness; the second is to be filled with righteous indignation with sincerity for the country and the people after knowing that the other party has decided to kill themselves. The ground denounced.
But now, General Han Fuyue's attitude does not belong to any of them.
He still felt very conflicted, but his view of Li Hao had changed somewhat.
Because it was Li Hao's operation that replaced him with a death row prisoner who looked similar to General Han Fuyue, and secretly rescued the real General Han Fuyue and placed him in this manor.
Perhaps before, General Han Fuyue also regarded Li Hao as a traitorous traitor, but after that, General Han Fuyue's view of him changed somewhat.
At least I knew that Li Hao might have another plan, and it was not absolutely unbearable as I originally thought.
"General Han, please take a seat."
Chu Ge said as he sat down on another Taishi chair.
This was the first time the two met after rescuing General Han Fuyue from prison.
"Prime Minister Li, there is something unclear about me at the end of the day. Can I ask for advice in person?"
Chu Ge nodded: "General Han, it's okay to ask. I will definitely tell you the truth."
General Han Fuyue looked a little sad. Obviously this matter had troubled him for a long time: "Li Xiang first summoned my class teacher back to the court with twelve gold medals, and then accused me of being imprisoned. But at the last moment, he spent a lot of money. Rescued me after many twists and turns.
"Why?"
Chu Ge was silent for a moment and sighed softly: "General Han, do you really think that making peace with the Jin people is the original idea?
"Without the official's instructions, I would be just a rootless leader. If I want to have power and do whatever I want... I'm afraid it's still a few years too early."
General Han Fuyue was silent.
Chu Ge's words directly pointed out the situation he least expected to see.
That is, the person who wants to kill him is really the current emperor.
In fact, for General Han Fuyue, although the current emperor had many shortcomings, he did give him some support during the Northern Expedition.
Moreover, under the thought of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, General Han Fuyue's original intention was to have some illusions about Qi Gaozong.
The original General Han Fuyue would probably have thought that whether he won the gold medal or was imprisoned, there were factors involved in the activities of the treacherous minister Li Hao. It was the emperor who did not know people well and was deceived.
But now it seems that Li Hao is very sober, mainly because... he took the blame for the emperor.
Otherwise, why would Li Hao go to all the trouble to save himself?
If this Li Hao is really a capitulationist who betrays his country and seeks glory, then he should kill himself, whether for the reason of peace talks or because he is worried that his status will be affected by his role as general or prime minister.
However, this Li Hao did not kill him, but took a huge risk to save him.
If it is not Prime Minister Li who is determined to kill him, but the current emperor...
So what Li Hao did was tantamount to the crime of deceiving the emperor. Once discovered, he would not be able to explain it not only to the emperor, but also to the Jin people. It almost means that his position as ruler is instantly unsafe, and there are even other associated huge risks.
In short, secretly rescuing General Han Fuyue was enough to prove Li Hao's thoughts.
But from this, new questions arise.
General Han Fuyue asked in confusion: "Then why did Prime Minister Li go to such trouble?"
Chu Ge sighed softly: "General Han, the truth is that in the court, one cannot cover the sky with one hand.
"I want to kill you. This is the intention of the officials and the Jin people. I may be able to resist the order, but it won't be long before I am dismissed as prime minister. Then, someone who is better at figuring out what is going on will come to power. When the time comes, he will You will still be killed unjustly.
“So, at this time, I can’t change all of this on the bright side.
"Secretly rescuing you and your son is the limit of what I can do at this time.
"As for your lieutenant... there is really nothing I can do."
The process of rescuing General Han Fuyue was even smoother than Chu Ge had planned.
It is precisely because Li Hao, played by Chu Ge, has previously set himself up as a traitor, so for Qi Gaozong or other officials of the peace faction, or surrender faction, it is possible for anyone to save General Han Fuyue, but only It is absolutely impossible for Li Hao alone.
It is precisely in this dark situation under the lights that Chu Ge can operate better.
Just by changing the jailer who was executing the execution that day, and pretending to personally oversee the execution to persuade other officials to retreat, they successfully rescued General Han Fuyue.
After all, Li Hao said General Han Fuyue was dead, so who would doubt it?
Moreover, his seemingly shady behavior is more in line with his personality. Everyone would think that General Han Fuyue had indeed died unjustly in prison. The more Li Hao covered it up, the more they believed it.
General Han Fuyue closed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath: "In any case, I would like to thank Prime Minister Li for his life-saving grace.
"It's just...I'm afraid that the general will have to live in seclusion in the countryside for the rest of his life, and will never be able to regain the mountains and rivers."
This is simply a no-brainer.
If the emperor was just confused for a moment and was deceived by Li Hao, then even if he retreated at this time, maybe one day the emperor would wake up and have a chance to fight again.
But if this matter was caused by the emperor...
I'm afraid that the situation will only get worse before Qi Gaozong dies.
What's even more sad is that Qi Gaozong was still very young at this time and his body was still very strong. In the next thirty or forty years, I am afraid that there is no possibility of his death.
General Han Fuyue was already thirty-nine years old at this time.
In terms of lifespan, I am afraid that neither Li Hao nor Han Fuyue can live longer than this emperor.
Although spending his life in anonymity like this can be regarded as a good death, for General Han Fuyue, who was eager to regain his old territory and take revenge, spending his life in such a wasted life may not be of much substance compared to an unjust death in prison. the difference.
However, what surprised him was that Li Hao smiled and then shook his head.
“If General Han thinks so, he is wrong.
"In ten years, the general will have a chance to make a comeback."
This time, General Han Fuyue was really shocked.
Is there any chance of a comeback within ten years?
How can this be?
In fact, as early as when he withdrew his troops, General Han Fuyue knew that he had missed a good opportunity this time and that it would be difficult to make money in the future.
After all, time has changed, and the sources of troops, food and wages, fighter planes, etc. will all change in many years. It is hard for anyone to say what happened at that time.
That's why he shouted such heart-wrenching words as "Ten years of work will be wasted in one day. All the states and counties will be shut down in one day. It will be difficult for the country to be revived. The world will never be restored again."
But if ten years later, he can really fight against gold again, it would be much better than never having a chance again, right?
If there are no sources of troops, he can train troops; if there is no food and pay, he can find ways to raise them; if there are no fighter planes, then he can find and manufacture fighter planes himself.
After all, the meaning of a generation of divine generals is that they can do everything by themselves.
As long as he has the opportunity of the Northern Expedition, relying on his illustrious reputation as General Han Fuyue and his huge reputation in the north and the south, none of this will be a problem.
The real question is, where did this opportunity for the Northern Expedition come from?
The peace agreement has been concluded, and the emperor will not support the Northern Expedition in the next twenty or thirty years. What's more, General Han Fuyue was already a dead man in name only, so why should he rise again and become a former general?
Chu Ge smiled confidently.
At this point, he can be very proud to say that he indeed sees things more clearly than General Han Fuyue.
After all, he knows the history from now on, and he can see more clearly about these historical figures whose coffins have been finalized.
“The current official is indeed in good health and will have no problem living to be eighty years old.
“Furthermore, he really doesn’t want to have another war with the Jin people.
"From this point of view, the chance of your coming back, General Han, is indeed very low.
"but……
"The golden man doesn't think so."
General Han Fuyue's eyes lit up, and he quietly waited for the next chapter.
Chu Ge continued: "The peace agreement between Qi and Jin is a peaceful one for the Qi Dynasty, but it is a truce for the Jin people.
“It’s not hard to guess what will happen in the next twenty years.
"The Qi Dynasty will lose its military preparedness with the fall of a generation of famous generals. The elite soldiers you have trained, General Han, will be wasted day by day and will be disarmed and returned to the fields. However, the Jin people will be hard-working and planning day and night.
“And when the time comes, their goal will no longer be just to clear the grass and valleys, but to destroy the Qi Dynasty!
"And the official family at this time was already over fifty years old by that time.
"The official family is infertile, so he will not choose a prince from the Taizong line, but will choose a prince from the Taizu line to inherit the throne.
"When the time comes that the Jin soldiers will invade the territory, this official will most likely leave after he has mastered Zen.
"As for the candidate for the new king, I have roughly decided on him. He has been raised in the palace since he was five years old. He is loyal, filial and benevolent. He is now fifteen years old. And he admires you very much, General Han. Reliable.
"When this new king takes the throne, why should General Han worry about not being able to rise again?"
Of course Chu Ge's words were not just his imagination.
Real history is like this.
Twenty years after the peace agreement, Wanyan Hailing tore up the peace agreement and attacked the Qi Dynasty. The Qi Dynasty defenders collapsed at the first touch, and the Jin people fought directly to the edge of the Yangtze River.
If Zhao Binfu hadn't been cheated and defeated the Jin people in the Battle of Niuzhu, causing Wanyan Hailing's army to mutiny, I'm afraid the history of the Qi Dynasty would have come to an end that year.
At this time, Qi Gaozong, who was already in his fifties, was disheartened. Perhaps he finally understood that this kind of peace treaty was unreliable at all, or perhaps he was tired of government affairs, so he quit and became the emperor.
And the successor he chose was the most famous Mingjun in the entire Qi Dynasty, Emperor Xiaozong.
Emperor Xiaozong reused Zhao Binfu and also attempted the Northern Expedition. But no matter how powerful Zhao Binfu was, he was still a civil servant, not a military general. Therefore, this Northern Expedition was handed over to another general to lead the troops. Due to various factors, it ultimately failed.
So, history made a huge joke: Qi Gaozong had famous generals, but he was a waste; Qi Xiaozong was a wise king, but when he wanted to restore the country, he had no famous generals at his disposal.
If General Han Fuyue had not died at that time, then General Han Fuyue would have only been sixty years old when Qi Xiaozong reigned.
It's still possible to fight.
In this possibility, maybe everything will be different.
Now, Chu Ge is working hard to make this possibility come true.
As expected, General Han Fuyue's eyes began to light up.
But then, he realized that the possibility Li Hao mentioned actually contained many details that could not withstand scrutiny.
"Li Xiang, this plan is a bit... too idealistic.
"I have two questions at the end.
"First, even if the current official became the Supreme Emperor at that time, according to what you said, the new emperor is very particular about filial piety. Then can he eliminate the influence of the current official and reuse me before starting the Northern Expedition?
"Secondly, twenty years... is a bit too long. Although I will be sixty years old by then, I'm afraid it's hard to say whether I can fight again.
"What's more, Li Xiang, can you persist for another twenty years..."
Li Hao's character setting is the same as that of Qin Huizhi, who is thirteen years older than General Han Fuyue. Moreover, his physical fitness must be far inferior to General Han Fuyue.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Qin Huizhi died more than ten years later and could not survive the Battle of Niuzhu.
But if Han Fuyue wants to rise again, it will not work if there is no one in the court.
Chu Ge smiled slightly: "Of course I have thought about General Han's worries.
“It’s true that I won’t survive twenty years.
“If General Han is to rise again, in addition to the support of the emperor, the support of the DPRK and China is also essential.
"Moreover, the Jin must come to fight as soon as possible, otherwise General Han may have physical problems. After all, if this plan purely relies on General Han that you will live to be sixty years old and still be healthy, it would be a little too unreliable.
“This battle should ideally come within ten years.
"So, in these ten years, I will continue to make plans."
General Han Fuyue was startled: "How to arrange it?"
Chu Ge stood up and took two steps in the courtyard.
"First, I will follow the statement in the peace talks that 'you cannot be prime minister without guilt', take over the power alone, and continue to cultivate your own power in the DPRK. And within ten years, major issues in the DPRK and China will be decided with one word.
"Second, I will pretend to collude with the Jin people and constantly pass on information to the Jin people. At the same time, I will act like a depleted armament on the front line to induce them to send troops faster. It is best to make up my mind to raise troops to destroy Qi within ten years.
"Third, the Supreme Emperor may indeed interfere in this. But I have a way to prevent him from interfering again."
General Han Fuyue's eyes widened, full of shock.
Obviously, even a generation leader like him felt sincerely surprised and shocked when he heard Chu Ge's rebellious words.
Listening to this, it seems that he is going to kill the king?
But... the palace is heavily guarded, how could this be so easy?
Chu Ge smiled calmly: "General Han, I don't need you to worry about it now, I have my own way.
"Your task now is to wait patiently here. Read the military strategy and write down your own experience in the art of war.
"Ten years from now, I guarantee you will still have a chance to achieve your goals again!"
