"I know what's going on with my eyes closed!"
"That bullshit escaped! He was clearly released by the north to explore the way!"
"So what if there is a letter? With a knife at their neck, how dare they not write? On the other hand, if the Jin people hadn't asked them to write, where would they have the paper and pen and the energy to write these carefully?"
"They first pressure us with the principle of righteousness between the emperor and his subjects, and then offer us the lands of northern Shaanxi and eastern Beijing as bait, and then place hostages in the north, and then they want to negotiate peace, right? I want to negotiate peace with them at this time?!"
Yang Yi Zhong and others looked at each other, not knowing what to say, and Wan Qi Xie's face turned even paler.
Sure enough, the next moment, Emperor Zhao, who had finished venting his anger, turned around and said, "Mr. Wanqi, I want you to be the Minister of the Dali Temple. Can you share my worries?"
"I don't know how the emperor wants me to share his worries?" Wanqi Xie's face was pale and his legs were even shaking.
"Of course, we should cut off the fire from under the cauldron. We should not let Zheng Yinian make trouble in the first place..." Zhao Jiu stared at the other person coldly. "In my opinion, this person must be a spy of the Jin army! He was sent by Nianhan! If you become the Minister of the Dali Temple, can you help me get a conclusion?"
Wanqi Xie pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Why don't you speak?" Zhao Jiu was indignant. "I employ you for your loyalty, isn't it?"
"Your Majesty, I want to be loyal to you, so I don't want to confuse right and wrong..." Wanqi Xie bowed his hands and said earnestly. "Zheng Yinian was abducted. The only worry is that he accepted the position of the pseudo-Qi, but he escaped before he arrived in the pseudo-Qi territory. Moreover, he was in the north, so it makes sense that he didn't know that your Majesty issued various orders on Huai River... Your Majesty, anyone with a little common sense can see that this person did not violate your laws! On the contrary, he is a loyal person!"
"They did it on purpose!" Zhao Jiu was furious. "They picked this person to test the waters!"
"Your Majesty, even if you have such doubts, how can you say it out loud?" Wanqi Xie became more earnest. "After all, no one in the north knows if there are any truly loyal ministers and filial sons who are working hard for the Marquis..."
"Of course I know I can't say it directly, so I want you to prove that he is a Jin spy." Zhao Jiu simply tore off the last layer of face.
"Your Majesty." Wan Qi Xie knelt down with a plop. "Your Majesty has been very kind to me. If you really want me to do this, I am willing to share your worries. But even so, I have to remind you first... Even if this person is really a spy for the Jin people, it is impossible to find the head and tail of him in such a short time after several years of separation between the north and the south!"
Zhao Jiu stared at the other party, impatient for a moment, and stamped his feet slightly to remind him: "This matter can always be 'groundless'!"
Wanqi Xie kowtowed heavily to the ground, then raised his head and said solemnly: "Your Majesty! Between the emperor and his subjects, we can have false accusations. But how can we convince the world if we have false accusations? And how can we deal with people like Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhang? They died for their country, did they do it to watch you use false accusations to fool the world in the afterlife?"
Zhao Jiu was stunned and stared at the person in front of him for a long time without saying a word.
Wan Qi Xie kowtowed again, as if he had made up his mind. He even took off his hat and continued to advise: "Your Majesty! Extraordinary times lead to extraordinary things, but aren't extraordinary things for the sake of the country to avoid extraordinary times?"
"I have been trying to advise you before. Now that the country is gradually returning to order, why can't you continue to be upright? The matter of the Korean envoys is fine, but what do you think about the personnel disputes among the ministers?"
"First, let Prime Minister Liu recommend Prime Minister Chen, and then let Prime Minister Chen recommend Yan Dayin... What is the purpose? You must know that all the ministers in the world are ministers of the government, why do you have to plot against the ministers like this? The result is only to cause tension between Prime Minister Zhao and Prime Minister Zhang, and the wind of factional strife suddenly arises!"
"Your Majesty! The battle at Yaoshan was the most intense battle since the founding of the Song Dynasty, and it was also a battle for the re-establishment of the country! Your Majesty gritted his teeth and won the battle, telling the world that you are the backbone of the Song Dynasty and the pillar of the Song Dynasty... In this situation, if you say you are not arrogant or anxious, it would make you look hypocritical and like a demon... But as a minister, seeing what you have done over the years, how can you not have more expectations?"
"I am sorry to be so presumptuous, but what I said today is from my heart, and I have no intention of being rebellious... If the emperor wants me to do something false, I will do it myself. However, I can be someone who is false, but I really don't want to see the emperor do something false!"
"Your Majesty, times have changed!" At the end of his words, Wanqi Xie put on the hard-winged fu hat, which had actually become a little crooked when he kowtowed at the beginning, and bowed his head again, but said no more words.
The people around, such as Yang Yizhong, Liu Yan, Lan Gui and others, had already been stunned. Liu Yan even seemed to be on the verge of tears, but Zhao Jiu was still staring at this person in a daze and still unable to speak.
I was actually given a political and moral education by Wanqi Xie! And the depth of the education seemed to be even deeper than that of Lu Haowen before!
And it seems to sound quite reasonable?!
